This past week has been one of the hardest in a while. Started out with a good visit to the Lyme doc in the Bay Area, a trip that doubled as girl time with my daughters.
Came home and crashed hard. Stabbing pain in my neck and head was unbearable. Hands and feet were numb and my face felt like all the bones were crushed. My entire body was overwhelmed with pressure and I couldn't stand up without feeling like I was gonna come crashing to the floor.
Nausea and vomiting made it impossible to drink even a sip of water – and therefore, no meds of any kind which means three things:
- Nothing to help ease the pain,
- Symptoms being combatted by certain meds started to return, and
- I began to detox from meds that require slower stopping.
Days went by and I started to become extremely depressed and near hopeless.
IF I hadn't gotten sick, I could go to the park with my kids and dogs.
IF… I could make dinners for my family.
IF… I could plan family vacations and spend more time with friends and family.
IF… I could make it to church and bible study and maybe even start a small group.
IF… I could do laundry, clean house and get things organized.
IF… I would still be working and have something to keep my busy mind from having these crazy thoughts.
Last night I cried and cried over these IFs and was reminded that
BECAUSE I am sick, my family is closer.
BECAUSE… my marriage is stronger.
BECAUSE… my reliance on, and trust in, God is strengthened.
It's ok to have a pity party, just don't unpack and live there. How? By looking for the good – and there is always good.
My life is truly blessed. And my world, as chaotic and messy as it can be, is filled with joy and love. And that is all I really need.
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:4-9
Note: philippijoy comes from these verses which have reminded me continually to look for the good and to rejoice, even when the outlook is bleak.

The weekend camping trip in Michigan turned out to be a smashing success, complete with a real campsite, real hiking, a real campfire, and real mosquitoes. Essentially, all the essentials. Of course, not being a group of people bound by the chains of tradition, or the handcuffs of standards, or the bungee cords of common practice, Sayak, Divya, Rakhi, Eric and I gave the weekend our own unique flavor. Although we did make sure there were s'mores.
The flavor I refer to was mostly that of Brooklyn Bagels, a discovery we chanced upon during our few days' stay in Muskegon, Michigan. Brooklyn Bagels is my new favorite bagel shop, and if that's really how they make bagels in Brooklyn, then Brooklyn is my new favorite place. Let me be the first to say, "Holy crap." You know how they have Cinnamon Crunch and Asiago Cheese and other "special" (boring) flavors in Panera? Well, Brooklyn Bagels is like "Hey Panera, suck on this!" Actually, that is far too crude and vulgar. What Brooklyn Bagels actually says is something like "We'll see your four to five special (boring) flavors and raise you, oh, let's say 20 other flavors." Flavors like Roasted Red Bell Pepper and Spinach Parmesan. Brooklyn Bagels: It's breathtaking. I suggest you try it.
I'm glad we chanced upon Brooklyn Bagels up in Muskegon, because we started out the weekend with a flavor extravaganza that was far too "ganza" and not nearly enough "extrava." Since Divya, Sayak and I got up to Michigan fairly late on Friday night, we just camped out (ha!) at Rakhi's apartment, where we decided to play some cards and drink some wine. Of the three bottles we chose, some idiot (...) picked out 3 Blind Moose Cabernet Sauvignon. I defend this choice by stating that I tried another 3 Blind Moose wine before, and it was pretty good. Anyway, the Cab-Sav was watery, to say the least. Eric called the 3 Blind Moose feedback line noted on the back of the bottle, but was forced to leave a voicemail. If he actually gets a call back from 3 Blind Moose, it will be both unexpected and the impetus for at least one post (perhaps a series?) in which I call multiple customer service feedback lines for consumer products to see what it's like to engage in casual chatting with the people who work in these types of jobs. Please note that Eric's call was not some kind of cheap drunk-dial, because the 3 Blind Moose was the first bottle we opened, and the watery consistency was noticeable right from the start. I can't say with confidence that my call to the Chewy Chips Ahoy hotline a bit later in the night was quite as clear-headed.
Rakhi has an extremely cute kitten named Pochi, which I believe is Hindi for something like "Little Shit." That may be totally wrong, but I'm going to translate it that way. Pochi enjoys playing with a paper grocery bag from Meijer, pouncing on feet that move, chasing laser pointers, and climbing screen doors Spiderman-style (0:22). Oh, and setting off heinous allergic reactions in yours truly. I've never had problems with pets before, or any bad allergies for that matter, but Pochi just about did me in. I started sneezing a bit while engaging in the above-mentioned card game and didn't think anything of it, and when I woke up in the morning with a burning throat and chest I thought it might have been due to Rakhi's delicious spicy Indian food. But when my eyes starting itching and watering and I started needing to blow my nose every five minutes, I figured that something else was at play. Geez. Future visits to Rakhi's apartment may involve goggles and a respirator.
Adorable, cuddly death.
Finding an open campsite at Muskegon was a clear sign that it was destined to be a great weekend. All the campsites were supposedly reserved when we checked online earlier, so upon arriving and inquiring and finding that there was one left just for us, a distinct vibe of "luck is on our side and/or the Force is with us" ran through the group. We wasted no time setting up the tent, obtaining some Grade A Emerald Ash Borer-Ridden firewood, and running to the grocery store to obtain various sundries fit for a night under the stars. Hot dogs, marshmallows, chips, Absolut - all the goodies. On a rather unimportant but still somewhat intriguing note, the three varieties of chips that were purchased included the following: Doritos (Nacho Cheese), Sun Chips (Original), and Lays (Wavy). Now, your internal alarm system, if well calibrated to truly insignificant things, should be going off like crazy after reading that last sentence. Clearly "wavy" is not a flavor. Well, "original" isn't really a flavor either, at least in the descriptive sense, but bear with me. When and why did "wavy" ever become a distinct chip option? Why do people prefer wavy chips to regular chips? This is a complete mystery to me, and yet I readily admit that I much prefer wavy chips to regular chips. They just taste so much better! I would say that this is a cheap yet clever marketing scheme, like the Miller Lite Vortex bottle, but wavy chips have endured! They have endured! Why is this?! Quick! Mother Internet! Come to my aid!
Research findings: Wavy chips are sturdier, allowing for better dipping.
That is all.
And they taste so much better!!!
Before settling down to the late evening campfire, we did a little bit of relaxation and hiking along the shore of Lake Michigan, which is surprisingly nice at Muskegon. Nice sand, lots of boats to watch, etc. After enjoying the water and finding (and then quickly retreating from the smell of) a dead catfish that had washed up, we found a trail and headed into the woods. Buying some bug spray at the store turned out to be a wise decision because the trail we chose led to The Lost Lake (aka standing water), where mosquitoes abounded. The Lost Lake wasn't exactly spectacular (it's quite understandable that nobody would want to find it), but the hike through the woods was pleasant.
Just another quick tangent, if you will. In the store, the bug spray was situated right next to other bug-related products, such as Raid. Now, it probably makes sense for these products to be together, but isn't it easy to envision a scenario in which some person goes to the store to buy bug spray because they've heard that they'll need it for a hike, and upon seeing the 8 ounce bottle of Off and the 18 ounce bottle of Raid thinks "I better get the big size?" (The person has, for whatever reason, not been exposed to bugs much in life). Maybe this is totally crazy and would never happen, but I just have this mental image of a person spraying their legs and arms up and down, getting a fine sheen of Raid all over.
Raid: Now with SPF 40. Guaranteed to keep the bugs off your burning flesh.
After the hiking we got a nice fire going and settled in for the usual deep, philosophical campfire questions. You know, the big questions of life that everyone gets contemplative about while gazing into the glowing embers. Questions like "If you could have one characteristic to describe you in life, what would it be?" Or "What does our continued focus on physical attractiveness say about the true evolution of our society?" Or "Is marshmallow on Doritos Nacho Cheese chips a good or bad combination?"
Answer: The flavor of toasted marshmallow overwhelms anything and you don't even taste the second flavor.
To bring the weekend to a close the next day we did a bit more hiking and then headed home. The only other point to mention from the weekend excursion is that the elected position of Drain Commissioner is a HUGE deal in Muskegon. Repeat: HUGE. We saw signs for no less than four candidates vying for this enviable post. The position of Drain Commissioner came to our attention because there were signs all over the place for the various candidates. In raising the topic just a few sentences ago in this post, I thought I was merely making a fuss over something that really isn't significant, as is my habit. But then I found this:
Muskegon Drain CommissionerWhere can you find a job that pays $74,000 per year, doesn't require any education or experience, includes health benefits and a car to top it all off? Right here in Muskegon County, as the Muskegon Drain Commissioner!
Every four years, the public gets to vote for who should be the next Drain Commissioner for Muskegon County. Anyone can submit their name as a candidate and when election time comes, your name will appear on the ballot. If you are lucky, your name may be the one voters choose to fill the drain commissioner job.
As a bonus, you're allowed to choose your deputy drain commissioner and pay them $33,000 yearly, anyone you like but ideally, someone that can help you get the job done.
Perhaps you feel that you don't have the qualifications? None required! If you take a look at the candidates for this years election, you'll see they are from all walks of life and some have no experience at all; for candidate info and job description see Muskegon County Drain Commissioner.
So what are you waiting for? Make sure to get your name on the ballot for the next election and you just may be the next Drain Commissioner!
Want to apply for the position, visit Muskegon County Clerk's Office. Because the previous Drain Commissioner was removed from office having served only two years, this election is for the remaining two years. If you didn't get your name on the ballot this time, you only have to wait 2 years to try again, at which time the term will be for 4 years totaling more than $300,000 in salary and benefits!
I copied the text rather than just providing a link in case the content of the website changed in the future. Turns out there is a reason we saw so many signs for Drain Commissioner, and we only saw the tip of the iceberg. Seems the position is especially newsworthy this year because of the scandal surrounding the most recent Drain Commissioner. You could say that his career is really going down the drain. But I guess that's what you get when you drain the confidence of the public. Right? Don't you agree? Oh c'mon, you know that any candidate who throws out some of those lines in a debate is going to get the crowd behind him and have a leg up on the competition. You simply can't worry about humor potentially "watering down" your candidacy. You just have to "take the plunge" and go for it. If you win, you could even groom your successor for when your term is up and create a "pipeline" of talent for the office. What? For a moment I was even thinking about running for the office myself, but I was able to successfully chase down my friends before they left me behind back in Muskegon.

So yeah, a change for the better is what I am about to try to pull off now.
Lately I've tried to deal with anxiety attacks as good as I've been able to do but that would only result in temporary solutions and come back to me in a combined way. This is what have made me do what I should have done long ago. I have sent out a message to someone who I know can help me and to make sure I do this as good as I possibly can. I will only do what is needed to make myself feel better, no isolation, this time it is all about self reservation. This is why I didn't finish my ESC blog serie, this is why some of my planned post have been postponed and remained partly finished in draft mode. I would estimate this will take about two weeks in total to extinguish the worst parts of it and then it is a long and slow work I have in front of me. I have sent this out to some people I know and to be fair;I am shocked of how well they took it and how much support I actually have if I'm just able to open my eyes and see what's in front of me, or behind be depending on how you put it. This is what I want to do with my life, I have sent out a message for help and notified my friends about it, via links, texts or other services about it. This is who I am, proud of who I am about and I couldn't care less if I upset people about it. Take it or leave it because life changing for the better for me now and I feel that I've got more support than ever before.
Thank you for everyone that's reading this, thank you to the people I talk to on a regular basis, thank you to the friends I've made over the past year and thank you so much to the people who truly mean something to me, to my close friends. It is because of all of you together that have made me change into a more independent person and I've heard that just over the past year I've grown a lot. It is because of all of you that I have decided to start to blog again on a daily basis and actually have motivation for it. Thank you so much for being you and stay safe.
Blessed be!

The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards has finally happened and the performances were truly amazing. But what i was majorly concerned about is how our celebrities looked on the red carpet. There were of course sensational hits and disastrous misses.
Some of the epic fails just made me wonder if celebrities no longer hire stylists. I wish Amber Rose can serve a one-year ban from the red carpet. She totally flopped.
Take a look at my list below:
Chanel Iman
I love the fact that she kept her hairdo and makeup simple. It didn't distract from her busy strappy look.
Kelly Rowland
Kelly just makes you want to get pregnant. Check out the glow. She slayed the red carpet in this halter floor length dress which cradled her baby bump. Perfecto!
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian West turned up on the red carpet in a printed cape minidress with a plunging neckline. She teamed the look with cut-out booties. Trendy and i think she pulled it off.
Victoria Justice
Nicki Minaj
She cleaned up real nice in a sequin minidress, pumps and sultry Old Hollywood waves.
Jennifer Lopez
No one does well-placed straps better than Jlo. She looked ageless in this Charbel Zoe cut-out metallic gown and sleek blonde tresses. But we are gradually getting bored of her regular look. One more and she will definitely land at the other side of my style fence.
Miley Cyrus
I added Miley to my best looks list majorly because she finally looked sane on the red carpet. Love her understated but edgy rockstar vibe!
Rita Ora
Rita channeled her vixen side as she looked stunning in a Donna Karan Atelier red silk charmeuse dress and fire-engine red lipstick. Wowza!
Becky G
I fell in love with her ensemble the instant she hit the red carpet. Beautiful!
Now let's see the disastrouses misses…
Taylor Swift
Her Mary Katrantzou embroidered romper was all kinds of wrong. I could picture my neighbour's baby in this. Between the peek-a-boo camel toe and alphabet soup-like print, i think i'm missing her sexy vibe.
Katy Perry and Riff Raff
This denim blast from the past barely worked then. It barely works now. Katy Perry, you fall my hand.
Amber Rose
This is the direct opposite of classy. The mother of one showed up on the arm of husband Wiz Khalifa wearing a g-string under a stringy, glittery, see-through "dress", embellished with a bra.
Jeremy Scott
Even though i loved the smiley embellished on his yellow tux, his entire outfit was a no-no.

Weber Brush Burning
I picked up this nearly new Weber classic grill for $25.00 to use for burning fallen branches and pruning clippings at Old Farm. Instead of applying for burning permits at the fire station and burning in the yard, we can more easily burn here what I clean up in a visit to Old Farm I hope.
The nearby azalea was in full bloom this visit.

I found an article on anger by Kirsten Anderberg over at Infoshop. It was interesting to me as I've often been accused of being "too" angry, or had people say to me on more occasions than I care to be reminded of, "boy, you're really angry about that, aren't you?" Usually the context involved an issue where there was a perceived grievance concerning the lack of justice extended to myself or others.
Obviously, there are destructive forms of anger, particularly involving physical or emotional harm inflicted upon others. In Anderberg's case, this isn't the anger that she is writing about. The anger that Anderberg is addressing is the anger that comes from seeing justice and equality go wanting at the expense of lies and greed. She speaks about the kind of anger that comes from watching innocent people harmed by one's government in the name of exporting democracy. While Anderberg mentions that the labeling of being "too" angry is often directed at women and people of color, as a white, privileged male, I too have had this charge hurled my way.
What I found most fascinating about the article and about her premise concerning anger, was the recognition that being labeled "too" angry is most often a tactic for marginalizing her as a thinking person and her critique or criticism of some form of wrongdoing or an immoral or unethical policy. Anderberg accurately represents how the term is used at times when she has been critical of the abuse and disempowerment that comes from being a woman. It also comes when a person refuses to acquiesce in a docile way to the status quo or middle-class paradigm of conducting our lives.
While her article is from the context and perspective of being a woman and the disempowerment that comes from our patriarchal society, the marginalization she speaks about isn't limited only to women and minorities. Being a male and part of the working, or slave class can produce behavior that gets you labeled "too" angry. If you dare to speak out at meetings, or not act like a sheep in the workplace, that can get you labeled as "too" angry.
Daring to speak out against your government and its abuses will certainly get you labelled quickly. Refusing to put the flag in a position of superiority over people or other cultures can get you labeled pretty damn fast as being "too" angry. I've often thought it somewhat dysfunctional not to be angry when you look at all the abuses that are perpetrated in the name of family, faith and flag.
It's interesting to look at who has been accused of being "too" angry historically. Malcolm X was considered "too" angry. Chicano activists, led by Cesar Chavez during the California Grape Strike were labeled "too" angry. Leaders of Native movements reclaiming land and demanding that treaties be honored have been labeled "too" angry. Feminists fighting for the right to control their own bodies are labeled as being "too" angry.
When I look at how the world operates, promoting the corporate interests of the powerful, at the expense of those who provide the labor necessary for their capital, I am amazed that there isn't more anger. This is a testament to the level of mastery and manipulation that the powerful are able to enact upon the population in the forms of family, education, media and other tools of control. To see this level of injustice and not be angry enough to want to change things and demand justice is the true anti-social behavior, in my opinion.

Most of us have not even met a sex robot yet and already we are being warned off them.
Tech experts have warned that the more advanced robots get, the greater the risk they will pose to mankind. And this applies to sex robots too.
In fact, your favorite robotic sex play mate might just turn on you and kill you.
Cybersecurity lecturer Dr. Nick Patterson of Deakin University, Australia told the Daily Star that hackers could hack into a sex robot and reprogram it. Hackers could conceivably program your playmate to kill you.
Patterson said that once the robot has been breached, the hacker then has full control. The hacker could conceivably order your robot sex companion to attack you instead of caress you. And that wouldn't be hard, even for a female robot.
That's not all.
Patterson warned that hacking into a sex robot could even be easier than gaining access to someone's laptop or phone.
He told Daily Star: "Hackers can hack into a robot or a robotic device and have full control of the connections, arms, legs and other attached tools like in some cases knives or welding devices. Often these robots can be upwards of 200 pounds, and very strong. Once a robot is hacked, the hacker has full control and can issue instructions to the robot.
"The last thing you want is for a hacker to have control over one of these robots! Once hacked they could absolutely be used to perform physical actions for an advantageous scenario or to cause damage."
Entrepreneur Elon Musk has repeatedly warned of the dangers of advanced AI and has even gone as far as to say that advanced AI could spark World War III.
But the risk of sex robots becoming killers in our bedrooms doesn't only lie in software that might be hacked. It is the Internet of Things (IoT) that is the basis of the threat. As soon as a device is becomes part of IoT, it is vulnerable to a security breach.
IoT is exploding: 328 million devices are being connected to the internet each month. By 2020, more than 24 billion devices will be connected to the global internet and some of them will be sex robots.
Security threats to common household items like fridges, baby monitors and PCs connected to the internet is a very real risk and a challenge for the IoT industry.
With every device that becomes part of IoT, people are exposing themselves to new security risks.
Now, we are all already connected to the internet through our devices, our PCs, smartphones and tablets and we are aware of the security risks.
But sex robots connected to the internet pose a different risk.
Our PCs, smartphones and tablets can't get up and whack us over the head with a baseball bat, but a hacked sex robot could do that very effectively. They are powerful enough to do us real harm if someone manages to tamper with their software.
In the not too far future it could be a way to get rid of one's enemies.
Actually, this problem is far bigger, when you think about it.
This scenario doesn't only apply to sex robots. Hackers could gain control of any type of internet-enabled robot and use it to attack people.
This is one of many reasons why we must insist that tech companies, researchers and authorities employ caution as far as the advancement of technology is concerned. If we don't develop proper security protocols, we might very well be destroyed by our own creations.

Architects Pascale Wakim and Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte originally founded Carwan Gallery as a pop-up space in Beirut just two years ago. Insofar as the Salone is an excellent opportunity for Carwan Gallery to further its mission to "encourage students, artisans, designers, and the public at large to connect with each other and the world of design in the Middle East," they're presenting "Contemporary Perspectives in Middle Eastern Crafts" at Milan's Ventura Lambrate district.With a concept that seeks to expand the vocabulary of traditional crafts, Carwan has commissioned a selection of international designers to create a series of new, limited-edition objects in partnership with local artisans in the Middle East. Each designer's project encapsulates the re-imagining of a distinct, time-honored craft, where the specialized technique of each artisan has formed the basis for the creation of a new object by the designer. The designers are Karen Chekerdjian (Lebanon), Khalid Shafar (UAE), Lindsey Adelman (USA), Studio mischer'traxler (Austria), Nada Debs (Lebanon), Oeuffice (Canada), Paul Loebach (USA), Philippe Malouin (Canada) and Tamer Nakisci (Turkey).
Milan's own Oeuffice created "Ziggurat" containers for the show, tapping the expertise of Lebanese craftsmen for the wood inlay of the architectural sculpture (Carwan's Bellavance-Lecompte and Jakub Zak are behind the collaborative effort). According to the designers, "the form evokes a simplification of traditional Muquarnas found in Middle Eastern architecture, and the inlaid ornamentation renders a new study of scale and an unexpected shift in direction of traditional pattern standards." The set of eight boxes comes in two color options (shown open below).
Khalid Shafar's "ARABI" chandelier is a modern pendant lamp composed from "circular handmade wool Egaals, the black headband[s] worn by men in the Arab region to hold the head cover."
Philippe Malouin's "Extrusion" series includes bowls, a stool, a tray and a table. The distinctive pattern of each of the gorgeous objects comes from the intarsia process of assembling wood slats; the form is shaped with a lathe. Both techniques are "ancient crafts that originated in the Middle East around 1200 BC."
In addition to the all-but-iconic lighting fixture above the reception desk, Core fav Lindsey Adelman collaborated with "Lebanon's leader in handmade colored cement tiles, Blatt Chaya" to create a series of decorative "Refraction Tiles." "Each tile is hand-poured and polished with precision according to Blatt Chaya tradition, providing its unique quality and finish."
The "Fragmented Clock" by Nada Debs is a contemporary take on the grandfather clock, painstakingly produced by traditional craftsmen—four for carving the solid maple and another six to set the mother-of-pearl inlay—such that a total of 500 hours of work and 30kg of mother-of-pearl goes into the final product.
Karen Chekerdjian's "Living Space III" is a combination of a lounge chair, coffee table, stool and magazine rack that extend—sometimes overlapping—in a single direction. The rattan panels refer to traditional Lebanese furniture and craft.
The designer hails from Beirut but currently lives and works in Milan, where she studied at Domus Academy. Her "Rainbow" table is also on display.
Tamer Nakisçi's "Shade Kilim" is a literal and figurative intersection of modern and traditional. The rug is composed of 185 pieces—measuring a total of 400 meters—of wool strips, hand-stitched in the designer's native Turkey.
The name of the "Gradient Mashrabiya" sideboard by Studio mischler'traxler refers to the "delicate wooden window screens often found in Middle Eastern architecture." The final piece refers to its process through its dualistic form: each of the wooden elements in the lattice structure—650 in all—is lathed by hand.
The "Wall of Light" by Paul Loebach is a sort of 'vertical chandelier,' inspired by the designer's travels to the Middle East, where he encountered the traditional oil lamp "in countless unique shapes and extraordinary configurations." A local Beirut metal shop used antique molds to cast the abat-jours, arrayed in a hanging, wall-sized fixture.

What's really important is to

get rid of the extraneous.

This kid started his last year of preschool on Wednesday. Between both boys, it's our fifth year at the same school. We like it there. If I added up all the money I've spent on preschool, well, it would be a lot of money. It's worth it.
Matthew is doing a weird thing where he sometimes curls his upper lip when he smiles. I happen to think it's precious.
Seriously. This kid. He's just adorable.
Wait for it...
It's the lip curl.
He's also an incredible ham. I said, "Smile." He did this.
He pouted for the first five minutes of school. Then he had a great day. When I picked him up I asked him why he was pouting at the beginning. "Because I don't yike it when you yeave me."
"I always come back. You can have fun at school. I'll always come and get you." Unless I die or something. But I didn't tell him that part because, you know, he's four.
His brother, the budding photographer was outside snapping pictures at the same time. He caught this one...
Am I the only one who wants to eat him? He really is that delicious. Right?

Our amaryllis wreath:
And Our Christmas Planter:
Because the Christmas Planter sits beside the front door I tried to match it to the Wreath. I used some Large Fake amaryllis flowers and mixed them amongst the greenery.
This Planter is probably my favorite christmas project each year, it's super simple and really in-expensive.
First you need some branches or twigs to stick out the top (I bought mine from Michaels for 40 cents a couple of years ago)
Second you'll need some flower that matches the decor. The flowers should have a long stem.
Third you'll be needing a lot of greenery. We don't have any readily available cedar bushes around so I bought one bunch from Walmart $3, then I went outside where they were selling the real christmas trees and asked if I could have some of the bottom branches they cut off - Free I also trimmed up a couple of bushes we have on the proporty (ones that we were planning on removing this spring anyways)
Next, you'll need some sort of planter filled with dirt.
I started from the outside and worked my way into the middle, making the flowers the last part I put in.
We make a version of this planter every year. This years total cost was $3. The overall cost if I had bought everything this year would still be way under $10 (not including the planter). At 3 flowers for $1 each, and branches for 40 cents it's very easy on our pocket book, even easier if we had trees and bushes of our own to cut down :)

Tariff Trap: Why Trump's Trade Wars Puts America's National Security at Risk
Perhaps it is no accident that Kim Jong-un's train made its way to Beijing as more tariff plans were announced.
There's a great deal that is odd about the current administration's trade-and-tariff policy. The loud proclamations about punitive tariffs that turn out to be smaller, or different, than what was advertised. The tweeted assertions that key allies are ripping off the United States, never followed by actual policy proposals. The pledges of "great" new bilateral agreements—with Japan, Korea, the UK—that never materialize as proposals or negotiations, let alone agreements. The pronounced shift toward open trade in public opinion among Democrats and Republicans, even as the president continues to inveigh against it.
One of the oddities that is less well-covered, though, is the dearth of opposition to the president beyond "don't do that."
You couldn't fill a Chinese-made sedan with members of Congress who think Beijing plays fair on trade, from either party. Nor could you fill a Chinese tour bus with members who are blithely unconcerned about Chinese industrial espionage and its effects on our national security.
Logic would dictate that—being a large, diverse country with two parties and several factions—we should have concrete alternative proposals to debate. After all, we have at least three sets of ideas in discussion for what to do with the Iran Deal—keep it, fix it, nix it—and more proposals for the Korea talks than the administration has Korea hands.
But on the question of dealing with our trade troubles with China, all we have are slogans from the 2016 elections. Paralysis has gripped American thinking on international economic policy, across the aisle.
That is bad for three reasons.
First, the rest of the world is moving on to foster its own economic interests. After the United States pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the other nations involved reworked the agreement and signed it among themselves. (Both Japan and South Korea politely declined to negotiate bilateral agreements with the United States instead). China is moving aggressively ahead with its own web of trade and investment deals. And our partners in Canada and Mexico, who have their own ideas about renegotiating and improving NAFTA with us, are thinking through how to manage without us.
Second, a United States that can't decide how to pursue its interests abroad, and can't propound a consistent strategy to friends and foes alike, is not just going to be less prosperous—it is also going to be less safe. This is the most basic level at which security and economics intersect: a country that can't say what it means, and doesn't mean what it says, is not a country that will be respected. The Trump administration, in between secretaries of state and national security advisors, and very thin on Asia expertise, seems unlikely to have weighed carefully how to time economic pressure on China against maintaining a united front with China as talks with North Korea approach. Perhaps it is no accident that Kim Jong-un's train made its way to Beijing as more tariff plans were announced.
Third, and most important, Americans across the board want jobs that produce growth and stability for the middle class. Majorities tell pollsters they favor economic engagement overseas—at the same time they tell members of Congress that they don't trust specific deals and don't believe government is acting in their best interest. A politics that fails to offer them options—or any new ideas on how to make incomes outside the top 10 percent rise again—is a recipe for more cynicism, less faith in democracy, and more insecurity.
Although you'd never know it from the White House deliberations, policymakers do have a whole spectrum of policy alternatives—and outside the usual suspects, a new generation of economic thinkers have ideas that are worthy of consideration.
Some of them are painfully obvious—it will be easier to take on the biggest problem actor with a large coalition of trading nations that for any single nation. The Obama administration failed to bring the Trans-Pacific Partnership across the finish line to create common standards, but that doesn't mean there are no other ways of marshalling global economic power to push China or others toward better behavior. Indeed, it was reported that the Group of 20 economic gathering had been quite interested in going in this direction—until the Trump administration's unilateral actions and the affects of those actions on G-20 members overtook the conversation, leaving no time for China or anything else. It turns out, unsurprisingly, that a blind faith in unilateralism is no better than an excess of trust in multilateralism. We may yet discover that it is worse.
Tariffs, it has been often noted, are a rather blunt instrument. Jennifer Harris of Brookings argues for developing a broader tool box, and for moving from tit-for-tat reciprocity to an approach that asks, "What does Beijing value, and how can we put pressure on that to get the progress we most prioritize?" (Hint: tariffs that result in damage to our own automotive and construction sectors are likely not the answer.)

Our basement is going to be verrrry eclectic. I have to figure out a way to work with that SUPER man cave-rustic-library lookin couch that Brady picked out a few years ago. There will be a lot of brass mixed in with other metals. The color scheme will be greys, metallics, whites, camel, with pops of yellow. I really want a cow hide rug too.
|Here is a little taste of what's to come. Yep, I staged our unfinished basement with furniture..so what! Is that not the coolest lamp you have evvvver seen? It was $1 at a garage sale!!!!! I am so in love with it.

Look what Bruce did today!
My parents have really nice built-in shelves in the basement of this house and they are perfect to display Bruce's glass collection. Those mirrors were from our wedding and I think the extra Christmas decorations are such a nice touch!
Unfortunately I was in bed while all of this decorating was going on. Last night as we were driving home I started to feel awful sinus pressure, but I thought it was just because we were going up and over a mountain. Who knows what happened, but I woke up feeling completely run over and spent the day going back and forth between sleeping and watching NCIS reruns. Bruce picked up some hardcore sinus medicine on his way home from church and that helped a ton, but I had to miss my dad's holiday concert :( which bummed me out a lot.
Breakfast in bed. I tried to drink a lot of water today because our house is SOOOOOO dry right now. My parents let us borrow a humidifier, but it's obviously not going to work for the entire house. I forgot about these harsh dry winters!
No coffee this morning :( I just don't have a taste for it when I'm sick. I stuck with Earl Grey Tea with honey.
I slept through lunch and was hungry when my parents texted us and asked if we wanted to meet them at the diner down the street for dinner. I wasn't up for sitting upright for that long a period of time, but Bruce offered to go and bring me something back.
For some reason I was in the mood for Chicken Parmesan, but Bruce also ordered me some Chicken Noodle Soup.
Wowee that's a lot of food!
I ate all of the soup, which totally put me in the mood to make a big batch of homemade chicken noodle myself.
I cut the chicken parm in half and served up about half the fries, too.
The best part? LEFTOVERS! Yumm - can't wait for lunch tomorrow.
Okay, three more things and then I'm done.
1. I'll probably post my dad's rice recipe later tonight. If you have a hard time keeping up with the recipes that I post, don't worry about it - I archive all of them on my recipe page.
2. My aunt emailed me the recipe to her Strawberry Pretzels AND her Fudge Cream Cheese Brownies. I can't wait to put on my apron and get baking!
3. You all know my favorite Second Lieutenant, Gilbert. I am so ridiculously excited to report that he and his beautiful girlfriend Justine are ENGAGED! I am so happy for them!!!!! I have been waiting on pins and needles for the announcement and got the text as we were driving home from PA last night. I screamed so loudly that my mom thought I saw a deer and almost drove off the road, ha! Congratulations you two! I wish you were closer and we all go out to celebrate.
I've rambled on long enough - night all!

Those pesky Corvairs are really interfering with my Bianchina time! I finally had some time and moved the little car back over to the working bay to finish sanding it. with any luck at all, i should get the second coat of epoxy primer on it soon.

Finally had a chance to do some final filling and sanding before spraying the second coat of epoxy primer. I am planning on sanding and de greasing this afternoon and spraying tomorrow. I also just got word that Blogspot is going to cancel this account because I don't use it enough. PISSES me off. I will call customer service to try to get it straightened out. Wish me luck. If I am unsuccessful, thanks for following along so far.

The second door is done. I just realized that I am ready to spray the second coat of epoxy primer on. Then sealer, then hi fill primer, wet sand, color coat(s), clear coat(s) sand and buff. Geez, I must be almost done with this car. HAH!

This is the second door before I start.

I have noticed that the more you fill and sand, the more you find to fill and sand. Is this a law of body work? I thought I would be done with the first door by now but, apparently I'm just getting started.

The car is back on the other side of the shop. The first door is on the stand ready for filler and sanding. I also have another Corvair job coming in. Always interruptions, although welcome. $$$

I guess you all thought I died. GGG Well, I'm back. Bathroom parts on long back orders, 11 stitches in my hand, Selling Dads house, 90-100 degree temps in the shop, having to go to settlement and about a hundred pain in the a$$ things kept me from working on the car. It's all over but probating the estate ( and the high temps) but I'm back. As you can see, the car is back on the rotisserie. I'll move it back to the other side of the shop and start on the doors. Then primer again. We'll see.

No picture but I did some sanding and filling today. I have been intimately involved in a complete renovation of our bathroom (meaning it's just me doing it) New floor, new vanity, remove tub and replace with a shower, new dry wall, new lights and paint. Gotta keep Mama happy, Almost done so I'll be back on here soon.

For once things went as planned. I got the car off of the rotisserie and supported on the lift. After removing the front supporting bracket I was able to work on the front end. What is shown in the picture was sanded and another coat of filler was added all the way across the seam. After sanding, it may be good enough to move on to the doors. If so, I'll have to put it back on the spit so I can move it to the other side of the shop.

Although I haven't posted recently, I have been working every day filling and sanding. You can probably tell that from the amount of dust on the floor. If all goes well I should be able to remove the car from the rotisserie and put it on the lift so I can work on the front end, again sanding and filling, filling and sanding. The fun part will be putting it back on the rotisserie to put another coat of epoxy primer on it, then sealer, filler primer to block it out, two coats of base and then three to four coats of clear. Some where in there I have to do the doors also.

Apparently I was somewhat optimistic on my recovery. On the Friday after my last post I had a relapse and it took over a week before I could walk upright. I'm back on the filling and sanding (hereafter called F & S for brevity) and slowly moving around the car. I've been touching up some spots on the rear and am just about ready to move to the passenger side. Oh Joy!

Haven't figured out how to continue writing after adding more pictures so I started a new post. Just remember this goes with the previous pictures. I used my Dremel tool to widen the crack and after cleaning it out I filled it with JB Weld as shown below. Tomorrow when it is cured I will sand it smooth ready for priming.

While waiting for the next Corvair to come in the shop, I decided to do some little things I've been putting off. The first is repairing a flat tire. I must have pinched the tube when I mounted the new tires. I bought a new tube some time ago but just never got around to fixing it. I got out my trusty small wheel bead breaker that I purchased from Harbor Freight and began to replace the tube. I have to tell you, that's the best $19.00 I've ever spent. It has been used to dismount the five old tires and mount the new ones (one of them twice), removed and replaced the two trailer tires and had no problem breaking any of them loose. After I finished the tire, I decided to work on my steering wheel. You can see a small crack right around the top edge where the horn button goes.

Corporate users can plan ahead now that Microsoft Corp. has disclosed the support discontinuance dates for the 5-year-old Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system.
As of Jan. 1, 2003, users will no longer be able to obtain nonsecurity Quick Fix Engineering, or hot fixes, for free. A year later, such nonsecurity hot fixes will cease to be available, even for a fee. Premier and pay-per-incident support will also end for Windows NT Server 4.0 at the start of 2004.
Users said the support end dates are reasonable and shouldn't present any hardships for their companies especially since many of them are in the process of moving to Windows 2000 Server.
Al Gillen, an analyst at International Data Corp. in Framingham, Mass., noted that Windows NT Server accounted for approximately 80 percent of Microsoft's Windows server shipments last year. But this year, Windows 2000 Server will comprise the vast majority, he said.
Roger Gariepy, chief information technologist at Air Products and Chemicals Inc. in Allentown, Pa., which is about halfway into its Windows 2000 Server migration, said the support end dates for Windows NT Server are "adequate." Gariepy said his upgrade strategy takes into account that when Microsoft releases a new version of a product, the software vendor generally still supports the version that preceded it.
"You get forced into doing some upgrades, but you've got to move forward, too," said Wayne Richards, a senior technical support analyst at The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. in Akron, Ohio. Richards said he understands that vendors must eventually discontinue support. "You can't support everything, and [Microsoft was] getting stretched thin a bit on the number of operating systems they were supporting," he said.
Server Group to Follow Suit
In addition to several desktop operating systems, Microsoft now supports three server operating systems Windows 3.5x, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. Support for Windows 3.5x is scheduled to stop at year's end. The support end date for Windows 2000 has yet to be announced.
Microsoft group product manager Bob O'Brien said his company "proactively sought customer feedback" in making its decision on the support end dates for Windows NT Server 4.0. Microsoft will engage in a similar exercise beginning next year with Windows 2000 Server users, O'Brien said, adding that he doesn't expect an announcement to be made before the second half of the year.
Several users polled by Computerworld said they expect Windows 2000 Server, which shipped in February 2000, to be supported for at least two more years.
"I just finished the migration to Windows 2000, and I do not want to be forced to upgrade again in the near future," said Susan McKay, vice president of customer and information systems at Aircast Inc. in Summit, N.J. She noted that her company used pay-per-incident support three times during its Windows 2000 migration.
Rick Waugh, a technology specialist at Telus Corp. in Burnaby, British Columbia, said his company would like support to extend beyond the next two years, since it made a multimillion-dollar investment in Windows 2000 and doesn't see a great benefit in rushing to Windows .Net Server.
Tom Bittman, an analyst at Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc., said Microsoft won't "preannounce the death" of Windows 2000 Server before Windows .Net Server ships. But he expects .Net Server to ship in May and the life cycle announcement for Windows 2000 to closely follow.

throw another faux yule log on the fire
Christmas holiday is winding down... the family heads back tomorrow and I'll enjoy one last day of holiday bliss. I've been calling Thursday (tomorrow) "my day", highlighted with a trip to the salon and some much anticipated downtime. I can't remember the last time I had a day like that... the closest would probably be the day I took to wrap up loose ends post-wreck. As enjoyable as I made what was left of the day, it still centered around bonding with my AllState adjuster. I think Thursday's definitely a step-up from that!
Christmas day was great. We woke Tam up enough to do gifts. Lots of fun stuff... I have quite a new selection of music to serenade my office with... some Aimee Mann... Snow Patrol... Phoenix... and some great DVDs -- In Her Shoes... Devil Wears Prada... the new(ish) Tori Amos DVD collection... and Rio's fab contribution -- the ENTIRE series box set of SATC - awesome (thanks again)!
We had a small feast here at my house. I wish I could have bottled up the wonderful smell my house took on to re-create. It was just fantastic. My mom cooked all day and the main course was accented by my dad's pies -- 2 chocolate pecan and one pumpkin. I did make a mini-contribution, making a big batch of sausage balls.
Since I still haven't figured out how to connect my iPod into our receiver downstairs, our main holiday music became my new favorite feature on Comcast On Demand -- the famous Yule Log (imagine "crackle crackle"). Anyone else see this fabulous holiday feature? Classic. You could almost feel your temperature rising as it brought instant warmth to the room - hah.
Rio joined us for Christmas dinner... much akin to Thanksgiving, including turkey + dressing, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, sweet potato casserole, and of course those mighty fine pies. I have so many leftovers right now in my fridge that it's just insane. I'm set for a while!
After dinner we watched what I'm sure is hands down soon to be the newest Christmas staple, Little Miss Sunshine. If you've seen the movie, you'll understand why this quirky comedy might not be the normal family time Christmas movie. I love the movie though... awesome. We did think it might be good to balance the somewhat unique first choice with a more traditional second movie -- so we pulled out Elf.
Yesterday I finally found shoes for my NYE outfit, so I'm good to go. I think I might even be able to manage to walk in these, which should always be the goal - right?
Anyhow, one more day of freedom...

TIP: Remind yourself that a lot of smoking is about the deep breaths (like from yoga!) that we don't do enough of AND it's alone/escape time.
TRY THIS: Just take a walk...take it at a leisurely pace...take deep breaths...take the time to take everything in around you and acknowledge their existence!
HOW DO I KNOW? I'm almost a month in from being smoke free. I haven't even had Nicorette... I remind myself of my future goals and how smoking will effect the outcomes! And, I'm just breathing more freely!

Don't count on the CFPB to slaughter any HAWG's! What will happen is that credit unions other than the multi-billion dollar credit unions will become the HAWG's whipping boy!
No good will come from a organization that thinks that they need to write a regulation stating that a lender should determine the borrower has the ability to repay. You just can't fix stupid!

Well, speaking of HAWGS and regulations, guess we all want to support doing away with USDA meat inspectors...

Willing to bet it would not take long to find USDA regulations that do more harm than good.

How about the U.S. Marines?
Alright, alright! I'll concede that they (hopefully!) have the ability to do some harm....

The CFPB regulations that do not solve the cause of the problem will only make you miserable!
BTW: The U.S. Marines are not a regulator and they are solely responsible and accountable to the people!

Why NATCOM Should Speedily Award The Gateway Contract
By Sorie Fofana…………………….
On 19th May, 2016 the National Telecommunications Commission (NATCOM) invited bids from eligible and qualified bidders for the monitoring of Sierra Leone's International Gateway System.
It is understood that, eleven companies (both local and international) bought the bid forms from NATCOM headquarters.
Out of the eleven companies that bought the bid documents, only three companies met the submission deadline of 10:10am on June 30th, 2016. They are Global Voice, Suba and DBM. The evaluation of the bids has started in earnest.
It is understood that, the contract for the monitoring of the International Gateway System will be awarded to the best responsive bidder by the second week of August.
When the International Gateway System was liberalized in July last year, we warned that, the Government (NATCOM) should move quickly to recruit an agent to monitor the International Gateway System.
Before the International Gateway System was liberalized last year, the Government of Sierra Leone was receiving between US$20m and US$30m annually from the management of the International Gateway System.
In April this year, the International Gateway monopoly was scrapped by the Government of Sierra Leone.
A Multiple Gateways System was introduced by NATCOM without any proper monitoring mechanism put in place.
As a result of the lack of an effective and efficient monitoring mechanism of the International Gateway System, a lot of revenue leakages have been reported.
Revenue collection from the Gateway System has significantly dropped. NATCOM has not been able to collect up to US$500,000 a month from the International Gateway since the Multiple Gateways System was introduced on 1st April, 2016.
Before then, at least, US$2m was collected monthly from the management of the International Gateway System.
We call on the Government (NATCOM) to speed up the process of evaluating the bids and appointing the best responsive bidder to monitor the Multiple Gateways System.
If an effective and efficient monitoring agent is not speedily recruited, the Government stands to lose a lot of revenue from the management of the Multiple Gateways System through revenue leakages.
We call on NATCOM, to speed up the process of evaluating the three bids that were submitted against the stated deadline of 10:10am on 30th June, 2016 and quickly award the contract to the best responsive bidder.
There is no need to re-advertise for the recruitment of an agent to monitor the International Gateway System after the process had been completed on 30th June, 2016.
This issue of International Gateway management brought a lot of negative publicity for the President. He cannot afford to court such negative publicity again, just because, some people close to him want this contract to be awarded to them through the backdoor.
President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma is on his way out of State House. He can no longer afford to be portrayed negatively in the media, just because some of his siblings and friends want him to circumvent procurement rules to satisfy them.
We, once again, call on NATCOM to move fast and bring this matter to a close. We hope Mr. Momoh Konte will read this piece and take appropriate action. Period!
We return to the question: What has the Government of Sierra Leone really benefitted from the liberalization of the International Gateway System?

The story of this picture.
I remember this day like it was yesterday. The dress mommy made me wear was way too small for me. Mommy was getting the little girls ready for Uncle Frank to come over to take our picture. I started having such a tantrum. Mommy, I cannot wear that dress. I was screaming, Amy was screaming and we were crying until Uncle Frank came over. Mommy said, just put the dress on. I put the dress on and we took the picture and Uncle Frank smiled at us, like we were little angels. I was losing my breath from a dress that was cutting off my circulation in my chest.
When he left, I ran upstairs to take the dress off. I pulled it over my dress and got stuck. I had forgotten to unzip it. I was unbelievably claustrophobic then and now. I was screaming, Help, please somebody help me please, I am stuck. Julia looked at me with my dress over my head and started screaming, it's a monster! We went back and forth upstairs screaming and crying about the dress until Mommy came to untangle me from the zipped, too tight dress. What a spectacle we were! What fun to be screaming and crying together and still live to talk about it.:)

It's a foggy memory, for me. I seem to recall how excited mom & dad were cleaning the house the base boards to prepare for the Uncle Franks visit. I remember the yelling before and the relief that I could smile for real. Now looking at the dress I see it all now. Wow great memory Jayne keep them coming.

I always remember the times when I got stuck. That one Ju kept calling me a monster and running away from me. Another time we were playing hide and seek and my hair got stuck in the springs under the bed. I was screaming and crying and nobody would help me. That is why I remember that day.

Widdle Emmie in outer space school
My little Emmie
to the tune of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
Are you going to Mary Immaculate?
Apricots, Chocolate Cherries and Pie,
Remember me to the one who lived there,
He once was a true love of mine,
Tell him to buy me an acre of land,
Apricots, Chocolate Cherries and Pie,
Between the muddy Hudson in Jamaica Bay,
Then, He'll be a true love of mine,
Tell him to sow in it seeds of pure cream,
Apricots, Chocolate Cherries and Pie,
And build Ice cream mountains and buildings of whipped cream,
Then, He'll be a true love of mine,
Tell him to reap them with sickles of M&M's,
Apricots, Chocolate Cherries and Pie,
And chew bubble gum and eat till we're done,
Then, He'll be a true love of mine.
Tell him to run it off down the motor parkway,
Apricots, Chocolate Cherries and Pie,
After your done 50 pushups
and jog down the West Side Highway,
Then he'll be a true love of mine…
(Don't wait for me today dad, The kids are sick again, My tummy's bulging again, My heart is aching again, And now there's no love there…)
He once was, a true love of mine….So, Girls, I do beg you don't miss your Daddy,Apricots, Chocolate cherries and Pie,You have one short chance to see him on this side, Go visit him and let your light shine.
