This generation is radically rethinking straight sex and marriage, but at what cost?
In Part One of a two-part series, Rolling Stone goes under the covers in search of new approaches to intimacy, commitment and hooking up.
Along with key review factors, this compensation may impact how and where sites appear on the page (including, for example, the order in which they appear).
Dating does not include listings for all dating sites.
He was therefore surprised when the first thing Leah gave him after the move was a book called Certainly, open heterosexual relationships are nothing new.
Even the term "open relationship" seems like a throwback, uncomfortably reminiscent of free-love hippies, greasy swingers and a general loucheness so overt as to seem almost kitsch.
Because they started off dating long-distance (Ryan was living in Colorado at the time), it was understood that they would not be exclusive: They initiated a policy Leah describes as "don't ask, don't tell." But when Ryan moved to New York and began living with Leah a year and a half later, he assumed they would transition immediately into monogamy.
By and large, Leah and Ryan feel comfortable with friends their age knowing that they sleep with other people, but are not as comfortable telling older people (for this reason, and for fear of professional repercussions, they've asked me to change their names for this article).
In other words, Leah's is a generation that has been raised with the concept of sexual freedom and without solid guidelines for how to make monogamy work.
That some brand of non-monogamy would appeal to large numbers of them is thus unsurprising.
Ryan is a young Generation X'er, while she's an older Millennial.
While both generations were raised by Baby Boomers – who not only initiated the sexual revolution, making acceptable the concept of sex outside the confines of marriage, but who then went on to mostly pair off in traditional marriages – hers was the generation in which the greatest percentage of those partnerships ended in divorce (the divorce rate peaked in the early Eighties, right around the time it's believed that the Millennial generation began).

Hello Everyone:
I have been working to get my photos all cleared out of my computer and organized onto discs. It's a job I like to get done at least once a year and will be trying my best to keep it in order this year and not let it pile up. It took hours and hours to get finished today but finally it is done.
My photo class has started and I completed my first photo shoot of my new bear that will be up for auction by February and the photos turned out very lovely! I think finally I will be able to reflect the beauty of the bear through a photo.
In that I have also rephotographed another bear that I had up for auction for a while but the photos were not doing her justice. Now that I have a few beautiful images of her I will be relisting her by this weekend and 100% of the proceeds from her adoption will be going to the Red Cross for Haiti! I hope you will all take a moment to visit the auction and maybe even adopt this pretty bear.
My last note for tonight is this... I have yet another bear in the works and she will be the first in a new series of bears that I intend to continue making. I made her hat from scratch yesterday and my husband hand sculpted her nose so it fits just right. I use Apoxy Sculpt for the noses as Sculpy and Fimo dry out within a few short years and tend to crack and break. The Apoxy Sculpt is something used by the taxidermy folks and will out last me. Anyway, that is all the hinting I can offer today but I will try my best to get some serious progression on the Haiti bear so she is up and ready for adoption ASAP!
Have a wonderful evening and I shall return as soon as I get all that needs doing done!

the last of the florists (Matthew Robbins)
my meeting with Matthew Robbins of Artfool was my first solo vendor meeting. my mom was at the ancestral home and T was at work. so i took a lunch meeting with Matthew on my own. and, if i do say so myself, it went quite well.
Matthew was great. he was very enthusiastic and had a lot of ideas about flowers and less traditional arrangements. he was all about texture and flow, and i really got a sense that if he does our flowers, they will be very catered to us and original. i had feared his ideas would be too country and "too Martha Stewart" (since his arrangements and bouquets are in pretty much every Martha Stewart Weddings), but they weren't.
this cluster arrangement, is what i consider "too Martha"
this bouquet is lovely and not too Martha.
Matthew is on vacation (lucky guy), so i'm awaiting his proposal. hopefully it will come in reasonably. DeJuan Stroud's proposal was within our budget, but he also didn't include any cocktail hour flowers. this may be an oversight, but if it was purposeful then once we add cocktails he may be a bit high.
Stonekelly's proposal was also high, but included some things i think we don't need. fingers crossed that someone will come in a) affordably and b) with all the elements we need.
i believe our planner has us onto cakes and videographers next. this will mark the first bit of excitement Thurston will have regarding the planning process. he has been eagerly awaiting the day where he will get to consume food as part of the planning. thank goodness for cakes, because i think he's just about lost interest in the wedding. cake-tasting may well lure him back in!

On 28 February 2018, on the initiative of the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) welcomed at its premises in Belval an Italian delegation from the federation of young entrepreneurs from Turin. Sixteen firms from business sectors as diverse as IT, Logistics, Energy, Aerospace and Healthcare - to name but a few - were afforded the opportunity to familiarise themselves with a selection of activities and technologies developed in LIST's laboratories concerning materials and digital innovation.
The delegation firstly familiarised itself with the collaborative decision-making tools developed by LIST, such as tangible user interfaces to facilitate interaction in a virtual world using physical objects.
To explore this topic further, participants were invited to discover LIST's "cognitive environment lab". What is a cognitive environment? It is a partnership between humans and learning systems that increases our individual and group cognitive capacities, especially those associated with insight and discovery (source: IBM research).
In this context, the GETUI " GEstures in Tangible User Interfaces" and ORBIT "Overcoming Breakdowns in Teams with Interactive Tabletops" R&D projects are significant examples of such cognitive environments. The effectiveness and relevance of these were presented through demonstrations of augmented reality and urban logistics applications, drawing on the European project SUCCESS "Sustainable Urban Consolidation CentrES for conStruction".
Still related to urban logistics, a presentation was given on the MUV "Mobility Urban Values" project, designed to educate citizens about the quality of the urban environment to encourage a shift towards healthier, more sustainable mobility choices.
The materials of the future sparked great interest from the Turin delegation through the technology demonstrators that highlighted techniques and proven expertise within the scope of LIST's "Materials Research and Technology" (MRT) activities, in particular relating to smart coatings, sophisticated composite materials and 3D printing.
Finally, the principles of the circular economy were also addressed through a first case study entitled "Plant-Based Solution", which aims to strengthen the cohesive properties of plant cell fibres. These "super" fibres can then be used for the production of building materials containing plant-based raw materials (blocks, insulating mats, plant-based concrete, etc.)
This visit highlighted yet again LIST's role as a key partner in the promotion of "Made in Luxembourg" knowledge and innovation, on an international scale.

Van and Petey each got to color a picture of a turkey for a coloring contest. Here are their pictures before they turned them in. (Van's has his name on it).
In Petey's class the teacher makes lots of books about the kids. Then they bring them home and we read them together. This book was on feelings. Each child picked a feeling and they had to say when they felt that way......Petey's was shy. (I didn't even know that Petey felt shy..lol...) :)

That is so sweet! Great pictures!
Craft 2000 is in Springfield across from the mall. It is the most amazing store ever! My dad is even hooked on that place. It is great for finding ANY kind of craft item you could ever imagine. They also have REALLY cute holiday decorations (signs, lights, etc.). Most of my holiday decorations have come from there. The best part. The items are at least half price from what you would pay else where. Friday I spent $32 and saved $28. You must check it out!
P.S. I hope I did not offend or upset you by taking the idea for that sign. I wanted to see if my creativity could go beyond cards.

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us" (Helen Keller).
Sometimes we think a thing or things will make us happy. Many of us look for the elusive happiness the whole world over. God is ever-present to be our friend, and many miss Him because we are looking elsewhere. The writer of Psalms 146:5-6 tells us: "Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth forever."
God, thank You for the happiness we find in You. Amen
Bro. Bill
I am thankful to know this Awesome God!In GOD We Trust

In the backyard of a noodle restaurant there was a movable pulley for lifting the goods. The man was packing the used boxes for recycling. He loaded them into his tricycle. The pulley reminded me of well used in old days.

This picture is the picture of my two granddaughters that live in Washington state with their mother and her boyfriend.
These are two little girls who are loved and missed very much by their daddy, their grandparents, their cousins, their aunts and uncles.
Why? Because their mother is mentally ill and can do with and what she wants to these children. She can lie to them, move them from place to place, keep them home from school and NO ONE intervenes!
Child Protective Services contacted my son once via letter and when he called them back they told him the girls had no food, but they spoke to their mother about that and she got them food and it wasn't really any of his business anyway.
I am so upset right now I could spit! The girls mother told her mother (yes, I know it is only rumor) that CPS told her these 2 little ones can't be left alone with her boyfriend. Mom was even told the girls had to go to school and yet, she can uproot them, move them into a flock of trees where they are terrified of the night and that is okay.
Their daddy once had custody of them through a restraining order with a police department in Arizona, who took them away from him and gave them to mom because she managed somehow to convince them the restraining order was against him. Then she ran with them to Washington where he followed her and he got them back and then she made up some bogus charges and he went to jail and she ran. That was over 5 years ago and she has been on the run since.
My son is not a saint. He has made mistakes in his life, he has been in and out of jail, but a two year stint in a California prison and the release into a wonderful drug rehabilitation program when he got out and he has been clean & sober for over 4 years now. He is off parole and he is going to college to get his counseling degree in drug and alcohol counseling.
In prison, he sent his step-mother-in-law letters for his girls, they were sent to me when he got out and I returned them to him unopened. He located his girls once and began sending them packages, letters and even wanted to get them on his medical and dental. All things were returned REFUSED!
This is what you don't see on TV. The pain and heart break of a father who can't see his children anymore. A father who divorced his wife years after she told him the divorce was final in Washington and after his first tax return the year out of prison was taken by the IRS to pay her back child support. That is when he found out they were not divorced.
The money he has spend on private investigators to find his daughters only to have his ex pick them up and run again, over and over and over.
She is allowed to manipulate the system and yet, with all the proof from attorneys and private investigators of how she runs every time she is subpoenaed to court, how she requests telephonic court appearances and never shows and yet, no judge will say enough is enough.
You don't see these things on television, you see a one hour program, the child is found and it is over.
Sadly, it doesn't happen this way.


text: Today I am reminded of how very precious life really is. Today I am trying to live a more authentic, genuine, truthful life. Today I listen to my instincts more and become more honest with my loved ones. Today I am so very thankful for my family and good friends. I know that at the end of the day good relationships are the substance of life. I know that life is worth living well. I know that we are all here for different reasons and at the same time we are all here for one another. Today I am so grateful for my husband, the choices that he makes and the incredible person he is at his core. I hope for you that you find peace this holiday season, that you make time to tell your loved ones what they mean to you and to live your life better today than you did yesterday.

Divorced man dating advice
If you chose to proceed in dating him, I caution you to proceed slowly and with eyes wide open. Comments like, "Bah, I just want it over," or "Doesn't matter, we've been strangers for years," may seem casual, even confident — but they also mask what's going on underneath and behind the scenes.
He did have the kids, but they would be asleep by the time I got there. I sent him a nice message for Father's Day and he thanked me and told me he was sorry for not texting.
It is a process that requires time, self-awareness and hard work.
And there's a strong chance your separated man has a long way to go.
We both right off the bat explained to each other our likes and dislikes and had mutual feelings.. After a week of talking he begged me everyday to meet him but because our work schedules clash and the distance, we had a hard time planning a date.
He is recently divorced has children every other weekend. He held me all night basically treated me as a girlfriend.
He was getting the kids ready and has a full day ahead of him but told me to have a great day.

This morning I met a couple of ole friends for a walk in the park. Loved seeing some wild turkeys just walking around. It was wonderful getting caught up on Chris and Linda's lives during the last six years.
Remember back in December our Norcold Control Board would stop working and would blow the 5 amp fuse if the outside temps got below 28-29 degrees. Well we then ordered a new Dinosaur Control Board. Since then thought, we have managed to be in temperatures above the drop dead 28-29 degrees, so the frig has worked perfectly. Today, however, was the day, to replace the control board with our new one.
Above Bob (check out his pony tail, he is so proud) is checking out the new control board and verifying where to attach all the wires. I am so pleased to announce, that after the new board was installed, it works great! We were so relieved. The Norcold works perfect!! Truly amazing!

…" we didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of," then this link is for you.
KENNEWICK — Forced to clean up an increasing number of jugs and bags of human waste along highways, the Adams County Waste Reduction & Recycling office took out a full-page newspaper advertisement to combat the problem.
The ad features a photo of a plastic milk jug filled with urine, and the message, "Okay, One last time: This is not a urinal."

What in the world is ebelskiver, you might ask?
Well, let me just tell you they are delightful little Danish filled pancake type treats.
Or maybe Dutch.
Wait–are those the same thing?
Have no idea myself, as I am German Swiss English with a touch of Irish.
So that makes me love Sausages, Chocolate, Scones and potatoes.
Not necessarily in that order, of course.
At any rate, I think that maybe there was some Danish rendezvous-ing with one of my ancestors, because I love these. They are out of this world good.
And out of this world hard to make.
Like, super complicated recipe. Made me sweat. Took an hour and a half to make and sorely tested my patience because the kids were screaming from hunger like half starved dingoes and I truly wanted to just say screw it and throw a couple of pop tarts in the toaster.
But I persevered, and OH the reward.
So, you need a special pan for these little scrumptious morsels. Also you need every mixing bowl in your house and also a couple of your neighbors bowls and some wooden bbq skewers or chopsticks.
I know, right?!?
Oh, but it's only just begun! Now you need to set up a little station with the batter, the filling and the melted butter. You also need the skewers and/or chopsticks to flip them.
NOW you can start to make the little buggers. The recipe made about 7 pans full. I kept the big bowl in the oven on the lowest setting and popped them right from the pan into the oven to stay warm. By the third batch I really got the hang of them.
Oh. You are not done yet.
Shake some cinnamon on the top and enjoy.
Ok-I have to bust out the recipe for you because;
1.) The keys are sticking on this stupid laptop and making me crazy.
2.) The half starved dingoes are clamoring for popcorn while we watch ELF.
On September 2nd.
Whole lotta holiday freaks here.
You really need to make these on a weekend when you have alot of time to spare. They are like little baby donut pancakes with filling in the middle! These happen to be cinnamon bun flavor, but you could also fill them with jelly or applesauce or peanut butter.
I love peanut butter on my pancakes!
A little trick I learned wayyyyyy back in the day when I was slinging hash at the Country Kitchen dressed like a milk maid and waiting on the drunkity drunks that would pour through the door at 2 am for the big all you can eat breakfast buffet featuring powdered eggs and cold sausage links.
Not an ebelskiver to be seen.
Decided it was just easier to link to the Williams Sonoma recipe.
Good Luck!

Big Four PricewaterhouseCoopers is going at it again offering more than $1 million over two years to help universities get students ready for International Financial Reporting Standards.
The grants are earmarked to help professors develop curriculum and transform course syllabi and assignments to include IFRS. PwCs strategy behind this is simple they believe that preparing students for new global accounting standards can be an important factor in their long term professional success, regardless of whether or when the U.S. actually adopts. IFRS is currently used by upwards of 12,000 companies in more than 100 countries.
In addition, the firm will also provide educational material directly to students and faculty through a series of web-based videos and tools. The videos will explain IFRS, why it matters and its affect on the accounting profession today. Students will also be able to explore interactive IFRS financial statements that enable them to see and understand the differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP.
In an increasingly global economy where adoption of IFRS continues it is important that the newest generations of accounting professional understand IFRS and its business implications, said Jean Wyer, partner and leader of college and university relations for PwC. Our collaboration with colleges and universities across the country will not only help to develop new curriculum, but position future accountants to be ready to meet the IFRS challenge head-on.

Sydney, Australia: Practitioners Commemorate April 25 Appeal and Call for an End to the Persecution (Photos)
April 29, 2012 Leave a comment
(Minghui.org) On the evening of April 24, 2012, Falun Gong practitioners in Sydney, Australia held a candlelight vigil downtown in Belmore Park to observe the 13th anniversary of the April 25 appeal in Beijing. Large banners exclaimed: "Falun Dafa is Great", "Commemorating the 13th Anniversary of April 25 appeal", "The World needs Truth-Compassion-Forbearance," and "Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong." Practitioners called for an end to the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong and for the chief perpetrators to be brought to justice.

Practitioner Ray once went to China to explain the facts of Falun Gong
She started to practice Falun Gong due to April 25 appeal
Luan Shuang was a human resources manager of Shengang Corporation in Shenzhen, China. She was shocked at the CCP's lies regarding the April 25 appeal. The CCP said that Falun Gong practitioners had "surrounded" the Zhongnanhai compound in 1999. She wondered who would risk losing their future in a society crazily seeking money and material possessions. She recalled, "I asked some Falun Gong practitioners and learned that practitioners were seeking lawful rights and freedom of belief. They had a peaceful appeal at the Beijing Appeals Office. I thought these people were so wonderful and I wanted to practice Falun Gong. So I started."
She continued, "On January 1, 2001, I went to Tiananmen Square and shouted 'Falun Dafa is great' and 'Truth-Compassion-Forbearance'. Police took me and detained me at the Chaoyang No.1 Detention Center. Many practitioners were detained there. Every prison in Beijing at that time was full of Falun Gong practitioners."
In 2004, Shuang came to Australia. She said, "For the past ten years, like other practitioners, I have continuously explained the facts of Falun Gong to people to help stop the inhuman persecution."
An Australian practitioner exposes the persecution in China
Australian practitioner Ray can speak Chinese fluently. He said he had sought the truth and the real meaning of life since he was 14 years old. He was shocked when he read the book Zhuan Falun in a library. The principles in the book are clear and profound. He felt a strong energy field when he practiced the exercises. He realized that Dafa is a great practice. Thus he started to learn Chinese whole-heartedly.
In August 2004, he went to China and taught English in a high school. But in his mind, he intended to take the opportunity to explain the facts to Chinese people who were misled by the CCP's propaganda. He said that once there was a cartoon in his school that slandered Falun Gong. "Every night there were security guards walking around. I jumped down from the second floor of my dormitory when nobody was looking. I tore down the cartoon and burned it behind the building."
He wanted people to know the facts about Falun Gong and so conducted many efforts, "The gate of the school was locked at night, but there was a hole in the wall surrounding the school. I crawled out through that hole and went downtown by taxi to post Falun Gong informational materials. I copied CDs with information exposing the CCP-staged Tiananmen self-immolation. I printed Falun Gong information on A4 size paper and posted them on walls. Sometimes I placed the information materials in front of a building. Three months later, the police found out I was a Falun Gong practitioner and started to investigate me. Once eight police officers entered my dormitory and took me to a house behind a hotel. They warned me not to tell people about Falun Gong and intimidated me, saying they would fire my boss and colleagues if I continued talking about Falun Gong."
Ray said, "We won't stop protesting the persecution or succumb to the CCP. We will continue our efforts until the end of the persecution."
Supporting practitioners' protest
A tourist from Canada said he knew about the persecution of Falun Gong in China and had heard of the CCP's organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners. He could not understand why the CCP conducted such acts. He wished the CCP's inhuman violence would stop as soon as possible.
Practitioner Gao said many passersby accepted Falun Gong informational materials. Some Chinese people said that they hoped the persecution of Falun Gog would stop as soon as possible.
On April 25, 1999, about 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners went to the Beijing Appeals Office to appeal peacefully. They requested the release of dozens of Falun Gong practitioners unlawfully detained in Tianjin, an adjacent city about 60 miles east of Beijing. They demanded freedom to practice Falun Gong and publish Falun Gong books. Their peaceful and rational manner in the process impressed the world's people.

SUMMARY: When Omar Perez was 25, he found out his father was the revolutionary Che Guevara. For Perez -- a poet, artist and musician -- the revelation didn't much change his outlook on life, or on Cuba. Jeffrey Brown talks to Perez in Havana about the Cuban Evolution, art and how closer ties with America may change his country.
JEFFREY BROWN (NewsHour): Omar Perez is an artist, a musician, and a poet.
OMAR PEREZ, Poet: It's very much in the culture. There's no difference between a song and a poem. The brain gets active when you listen to a melody. So that's exactly what happens with poetry, too.
JEFFREY BROWN: And Perez has another claim to unusual fame. He is the son of revolutionary Che Guevara. His mother was a student at the University of Havana in the 1960s. Both she and Guevara were married at the time of their affair, and Perez grew up unaware of who his father was.
OMAR PEREZ: When I was 25 years old, I was already a human being, and then somebody told me, did you know your father is Che Guevara? I said, no, I don't. What am I going to do now? I'm 25 years old, I'm a writer, I'm a poet, I'm a translator. Should I change now?
What should I become? Should I become something different? I didn't want to become anything different. I was — that's what I wanted to be, a poet.
JEFFREY BROWN: Generations of Cubans have lionized Che Guevara, the Marxist revolutionary from Argentina who, alongside Fidel Castro in the 1950s, overthrew Cuba's government. His image is still seen all over Havana.
Omar Perez lives in one of the once elegant, now crumbling buildings alongside the city's famous seawall, the Malecon. For his part, he doesn't seem to hold on to a romantic view of Che Guevara or the Cuban Revolution.

I've re-ignited my love for Lauren Conrad this week and taken her as sort of inspiration for this outfit. I forgot how much I love her laid back LA approach to glossy, pristine style, similar to Olivia Palermo but a bit more chilled out. I have had the most boring week possibly in the history of the world ever, just counting the days until my holiday. I also got some eyelash extensions, partly out of curiosity and secondly so I don't look constantly horrible while camping in Spain, finger crossed I don't get annoyed with them before i've even left the country!
Hope you've had a lovely week (:

These are 15 of those movies that I watch repeatedly ie more than 5 times. And I can watch them again if I want to. I wont call all of them artistically meaningful. Most of them are guilty pleasures. But what the hell- why should we feel guilty when we are feeling pleasure?
1. One Fine Day
This movie about two single parents whose lives gets accidently intertwined during the course of a single day leading to sweet consequences. In my opinion its the closest that I have come across a perfect romantic comedy screenplay. May be Michelle Pfeiffer is causing a cognitive distortion.
2. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge
Love birds and dissenting parents were once the bread and butter of Bollywood. Here the only twist is the boy who is not ready to marry the girl without the consent of her father. Well- you can show disgust for the Bollywood formula, you can laugh at the silliness of it, you can yawn at the predictability of it, you can write essays about the sugariness of it. But… you cannot resist it.
3. Good Will Hunting
Its a well crafted movie revolving around a 18 year old delinquent mathematical genius and the psychiatrist who reluctantly tries to straighten him up. Its contains many of my favourite movie monologues beautifully rendered by Robin Williams on screen. And yes I think Ben Affleck is a better actor than Matt Damon. Shoot me.
4. Sandhesham
This malayalam satire is about two brothers who belong to opposing political factions but living under the same roof. They take politics to the next level… that is into the family. Imagine every family dinner revolving around heated arguments about Chekoslovakia and Poland. Hope you get the picture.
5. Ocean's Eleven
The greatness of this conmovie is in the way the different elements are integrated into a seamlessly intelligent narrative. Usually love story is an ingredient to sizzle up a conmovie. Here the love story becomes the backbone of the con. And the buddy bonding…its unapologetically fun.
6. Moondram Pirai
Kamal Haasan needs only last 10 minutes of this movie to establish himself as one of the greatest actors India has ever produced. He is brilliant as the young man who gives refuge to a mentally ill girl from a brothel. But he has ample competition from Sreedevi in this tamil movie.
7. Spygame
Robert Redford is a CIA operative who on the last day of his office comes to know that his former subordinate (Brad Pitt) is in a Chinese jail. As he pulls the strings against reluctant CIA collegues washing off their hands in the backdrop of an execution countdown, he has to address his turmoiled friendship with Bradpitt. The grace of the movie is the its melancholic tone. A man who is trying to redeem himself of all his sins with one good act before curtain falls on his career- your heart will go out for him.
8. Forrest Gump
The story of the dull Forrest who somehow is always in the grace of God never fails to charm me. The power of simplicity of writing is really manifest here. I should say- this is a really tough script to write.
9. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
The righteous husband who decides to hand back his wife to her lover may be a rare species in real life. But the quirky love in the first half and the smoldering love in the second half have always had me. All of it hits in the right places.
10. Bourne Supremacy
If I have to make a choice, it will be the second one. After Paul Greengrass takes up the mantle, the signature style is really set in this sequel featuring Bourne. Second in a franchise has to overcome the challenge of an already familiar premise. When Tony Gilroy throws in the theme of redemption, the amnesiac assassin suddenly looks really interesting.
11. Nottinghill
Simply following the formula doesn't make a romantic comedy interesting. Yes you have to follow the rules so as not to disappoint. But at the same time you have to bring something new to the table. Confused? Here is the demonstration. A movie actress falling for an ordinary guy- well I don't know why I want to see it again. But…yes please, put it on.
12. Chithram
When boyfriend dumps her in the last moment, the girl needs someone to pose temporarily as her fiance in front of her father. But the black guard she had hired may not be that much…err…under control. This hilarious malayalam movie directed by Priyadarshan will show you why Mohanlal is (was) a phenomenon in comic timing.
13. To Catch a Thief
I know. I know. There are many other more renown Hitchcock movies. Rear window or Vertigo may be better movies but some how this movie has held more re-view value for me. This story of an established thief coming out of his retirement to catch a copycat has some inherent appeal about it. The tit for tat dialogues between Cary Grant and Grace Kelly, the exotic French Reviera, clever and witty escapades…it's a treat.
14. Thevar Magan
This tamil movie was a revelation to me in that Kamal Haasan is a good writer too. The desi 'Godfather'ish story about an urbanised son reluctantly taking up the mantle of his father as a landlord had me with its crispness. It has a real ethnic feeling about it.
15. Basic Instinct
Let me tell you- its not the sex. I think that the unfortunate thing that has happened to this movie is that Sharon Stone took away the attention from a well crafted script. It has a cleverly crafted plot and dialogues with real juice. But of course- Novelist, seduction, murder, mind games, lust, detective, alibi…it has all the right key words.

*Things are going great our way. We are really enjoying our summer. We have been gone. A lot. Which is why my little 'ole blog has been neglected.
You know that song..."I've Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash?" Well, that is the Sabs. We have been to San Antonio, New Braunfels, Smithville, Ennis, Port Aransas, Smithville, Galveston, Bastrop, La Grange, Elllinger and our stop in the big town of Plum, Texas. Salute.
*With all our traveling, I'd like to thank the makers of Apple, Nintendo and Skull Candy headphones. I'd also like to thank the inventors of the I Spy game, Riddle-Me-Riddle-Me Riddle Marie, Alphabet Game and the all time favorite License Plate game.
*We are also enjoying our apartment. We are loving having a swimming pool and try to go as often as we can because its so stinkin' hot in Texas! What in the world? I saw a funny sign the other day and it said, "Satan called and he wants his weather back." ha! I thought that was funny. And true. It's so hot I sweat just walking to the car.
*I have also been spending time on PINTEREST. Two words.
It is my new favorite place to spend my computer time. It has so many wonderful ideas for your home, crafts, funny quotes, and recipes. You really need to check it out. I am in L-O-V-E!
* I can't believe that school is right around the corner. I really can't believe I will have a child in high school. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. He is excited and ready for this new chapter. He will be in a new school and instead of being nervous, like I would be, he is excited. Macy is ready too...that girl is ready for anything.
*Our house is going great. We should be in the house Sept. 2nd and we are thrilled! Although we love our apartment we are ready for some more space. I think the kids are ready to have their own rooms back. Secretly, I think they have enjoyed sharing a room but you didn't hear that from me. :) As far as pictures, they are on my other computer and stuck on my phone so I have to figure that out. oops.
I guess that is all for now...where have you been this summer?

Well, tonight I think I need to do a little bit of that Gratitude Journaling Stuff.
I've just read a bit of the incredibly funny and popular I hate my flat mate blog. And being the serious turd that I am, I can't help but wonder if the person writing this blog had just taken a more constructive attitude it they could have gotten along famously. I think that it you have a knee jerk reaction to every little thing that 's out of place then the only thing you are doing is upset yourself and feed a downward spiral. If you look for things to appreciate it keeps you happier and more relaxed, and that can only lead to good things.
Okay, 3 things I am grateful for today and why they happened:
- My general manager found somebody else to work Sunday evening after I directly told then that I could not work. I do not work Sundays and they scheduled me a double shift without talking to me first, this is a routine occurance in the restaurant industry. In the past I would have just worked it and then would have been pissed and resentful and felt guilt for skipping out on the plans I had made with my in-laws.
- My best friend from highschool called me today and we actually got to talk for a whole half hour. Normally, when we speak her young children are home and need her attention, but she actually called me during the very rare bit of time she had alone. I really feel complimented by this, because I would probably have used that brief bit of stolen time to just be alone or get something done.
- I know it's overused, but I'm grateful for what a beautiful day it was today and that I got outside in it. This evening is also wonderful and I'm enjoying a nice bit of a breeze coming in through the open window.
Once again, I've stayed up later than I should. I may have to start bringing out my timer.

When I found out about House of Fraser's blogger competition to create a look inspired by one of the world's fashion capitals I couldn't wait to start trawling through their wonderful website to put together my look. I knew instantly which city inspired me the most, can you guess which one it is?
T-shirt | Capri Pants | Sunglasses | Clutch | Watch | Earrings | Heels | Perfume | Lipstick | Mascara | Eye Liner (all from House of Fraser)
I wanted to keep my look classic and true to my chosen city's style whilst keeping to my personal style. I am a sucker for a stripy t-shirt however I think that this one is chicer than most with the gorgeous gold thread running through it. Therefore, I think when paired with these charming classic capris, it creates such a versatile, attainable yet gorgeous look. I then used accessories as accents. I particularly love the clutch because I think that it is simply stunning as are the shoes. Personally I really love a quintessentially 'simple yet effective' make up look, therefore this vibrant Chanel lipstick and the pretty combination of YSL mascara and Guerlain eyeliner seemed perfect, especially for this look. Equally I adore this fragrance, Coco Mademoiselle, with it's fresh yet a little spicy scent- a good match for this elegant, and hopefully easily recognisable, look.
So which city do you think inspired my chosen look?
New York

The 30-year fixed mortgage rates fell to 6.24% last week from 6.33% in the previous week, according to Freddie Mac's primary mortgage survey results. This is the lowest mortgage rates have been since the week ending March 3, 2006. In addition, rates are lower than the 6.37% level a year ago.
Freddie Mac also reported a 10 basis point decline in the 15-year fixed mortgage rate to 5.94%, and is just four basis points higher than levels seen last year at this time. On the adjustable side, the five-year hybrid ARM rate slipped just four basis points to 6.04%, and one-year ARM rates rallied just two basis points to 5.53%.
With the further improvement in mortgage rates this week, mortgage application activity is expected to remain elevated. So far in November, the Refinance Index is averaging 1960, nearly 10% above October's average. Mortgage rates are averaging seven basis points lower at 6.29%.

My most recent article, "Save a tree. Shrink your Sunday leaflet" was posted today over at the Diocese of Washington's Blog, The Episcopal Cafe. Here is an excerpt:
Save a tree. Shrink your Sunday leaflet
Read the rest HERE.
Save a tree. Shrink your Sunday leaflet
Amen! I'll send this on to the communications people at my church. I'm sure I'll get the typical "bulletins are more hospitable..." answer. But, I think a byproduct of not using bulletins could be that everyone might grow to feel comfortable with the prayer book. That would be a good thing!
Also, one of the small groups that we had last "semester" was called Sustainable Life Support (disclosure: the leader is a good friend). It was a test-run of a curriculum she's writing that looks at the sustainability through a Christian lens. One discussion was about making the church building/services/other activities more sustainable. I think this is a topic of growing interest and concern.
Peter - as one who instituted a full-text bulletin in my parish I wrestle with this a lot.
The first thing we talked about, of course, was money. In the end it costs us $60 more a year to do the whole thing rather than the old way of a simple outline bulletin and the reading insert from Morehouse.
The paper issue, I agree, is very valid. The problem, as I see it, is creating a balance. I would love to print 20 full text bulletins each week for our visitors and newcomers. I would then expect our regular congregation to use the BCP. Then we would have to teach those visitors and newcomers how to navigate the whole damn thing.
I like the projector idea from the Cafe and challenge you to think that the sunk costs of projector and Rite Stuff will be paid off as the cost of paper slowly dwindles.
Or finally, we could go back to daily prayer that, being done so often, becomes a part of people's consciousness and even the books become unnecessary.
Anyway, I like the post, but wonder if it isn't a bit of a pipe dream in our current culture that lacks good Christian Education and as we transition to a post-literate world.
Amen Peter.
Are people confusing being welcoming with being able to be totally involved? Surely we expect a certain amount of growing into the Christian life and tradition - is it too much to expect a regular to be alongside a newcomer to help them? And afterwards to answer any questions - commencing a companioned catechumenal process?
Why do people want to read along with the reader? With the prayer? Are people with reading and prayer-leading ministries not sufficiently competent to proclaim the reading, the prayer? I guess people with these habits are taking the screenplay to their movies, and the play's texts to shows & must find public speeches very irritating when they are not simultaneously on a screen...
As to screens - my experience is that we quickly end up with communities addressing the screen "...and also with you..." etc.
Finally, Peter, I grapple with these sorts of issues a lot on my site "Liturgy" www.liturgy.co.nz
If you are interested we could link sites.
Maybe we could convince Jeff Bezos to donate a leather-bound "Kindle" to each parishioner. As far-fetched as it sounds, a nimble cut-and-paste of an electronic BCP, Hymnal, NSRV Bible, etc. into a fluid document (including announcements, responses, prayer lists, and other inserts) broadcast each week would solve the paper issue.
Those with vision impairment could enlarge text as needed. Preachers could offer transcripts with hyperlinked references of their homilies for post-service study. Amazon could benefit from consumers using the device for other books and periodicals it sells.
Perhaps it's too "Star Trekish" today, but soon a paperless prayer book will be like the Gutenberg Bible was to the parchment scroll.

Minister of State Joe McHugh TD has welcomed the news and stated: "Following this afternoon's meeting between representatives from the Donegal Education Training Board (ETB) regarding the future of Coláiste Chineál Eoghain, Buncrana's Gaelscoil, I welcome confirmation that the intention to close the school will not be going ahead.
"This news will come as a welcome relief to students, parents, teachers, and the community as a whole, who have been very concerned during recent weeks, following the announcement that the school would be closing down.
He continued: "I wish to acknowledge the commitment from Minister for Education and Skills Jan O' Sullivan, and the Department of Education for working together with the ETB, in order to obtain a solution. The result from this collaboration means the school will be provided with the necessary support and resources to ensure the long-term viability of the school.
"I visited the school the morning following the closure announcement and spoke to members of the school Board and the ETB. The principal, staff and parents were visibly upset and hugely concerned at the news, and there was an urgent need for assistance and reassurance, from both the Department and at a local level.
"A public meeting was held in Buncrana's The Exchange two weeks ago, where I met with parents of the students in a public forum. Everyone who attended the meeting was given an opportunity to voice their concerns and it was decided that all three Donegal North East representatives would organise a cross-party meeting with Shaun Purcell, CEO of the ETB. The concerns and anxiety expressed at the public meeting were relayed to Mr Purcell, it was a positive meeting and I welcome today's confirmation on the back of these efforts.
"I want to acknowledge the efforts of Cllr. Martin Harley and Cllr. Jimmy Kavanagh, both of whom are members of the ETB, who I have been in regular contact with over the past few weeks and who have been working hard to ensure a positive solution was found.
"I commend the work of all involved and who played a role in today's news, I believe that Coláiste Chineál Eoghain is hugely important in the Inishowen peninsula in promoting, protecting and preserving the Irish language and our heritage, this will benefit not only the students of the school, but also the parents and local community."

Oh, so I wake up in the morning and up and out for coffee and the local paper and hey look, there is a show review as the quite often is. Hey, wait a minute, that's not nice! Seems our little reviewer friend has an ax to grind with Anthony and at least in my opinion comes off as a bitter woman spitting spikes cause she wanted a bit more attention from him, it reminds me of a guy that asks a girl out and when she graciously declines he walks away muttering "bitch" under his breath, except she did it in pen in public. But hey, all good, as I guess it is a reviewer's job to stir up some controversy. Or wait, maybe it is a reviews job to be in touch with the pulse and sensation of truly being there and connected to capture the experience into words and to share it with the people that were unable to attend.
Hmmmm, well, I was there and I don't know where she was but I was surrounded by euphoric fans with loud voices singing and dancing and radiating so much thrill it gave me goose bumps at times. Anyway, what concerns me more is the sound comment that touches on some frustrations I have been facing for the past two shows. Then I get a text message from someone close to the band who read the same review online. "They are talking about sound issues and it is not you, you ought to go set the record straight, they are posting comments."
Hmmmm, well my first reaction was that each person is entitled to their own opinion and though I may disagree, fair enough but then I started thinking about it more in depth. What were the issues? What caused them and how can they be solved and it dawned on me that perhaps to respond and clarify could illuminate the issues that could be solved, and so I did, I write an email comment in response to the moderated forum.
Nothing happened, oh well, I figured perhaps my words were not compatible with posting. Nothing happened that is till the newspaper's fact checking editor emailed everyone at Rat on our contact page, got confirmation and printed my response as entertainment headline news that is.
and here is a link to what I wrote that started this snow ball rolling
Oh jees. What have I done? Hopefully what I have done is created enough momentum and focus that the venue will get sonically tuned up. Arena's are not great sounding things to start with so to get acceptable audio in them is a challenge indeed so having a venue that completely disregards acoustics is really a bummer. Just out of curiosity I now do a quick internet search on Vector Arena Sound, curious to see if there is a history and it reveals that I am not the first to point out it's sound issues there has only been one other gig at Vector and it was called "opening ceremonies!"
Well, very cool, I hope they fix it, I hope I helped, I am home and I hope I did not piss anyone off in the Peppers camp with my antics, though I doubt it. And then comes an email, and another and another. Uh oh! Oh no! Now this is where it gets good, "Hey Dave, I just saw them talking about you on New Zealand TV National News on Channel 3, talking about sound at Vector Arena, here is a link"
And though the TV news invariable bumbles things up a bit, hearing a serious newscaster read some Dave Rat sarcasm I found really amusing.
So it all seems to be settling down and other than the phone call I got from a New Zealand radio station, it seems to be done from my end at least, well except I am getting emails now from other bands headed down there wanting to know how the arena is to work in sound wise. As far as the New Zealand fans, stay on them till they finish the room. And to the Venue folks, I highly recommend getting the room acoustically dialed in, no reason to have a less than stellar venue in such a wonderful place because isn't the whole reason of having the the big new arena to attract great bands and happy fans? Very good sounding, well laid out and wonderful to work in arena's have been popping up worldwide for quite some time now, the knowledge and know how exists, it is not like building a decent sounding arena some revolutionary concept.
The smiling at the unexpected,
Dave Rat
Bungy jumping yesterday was so fun that we really had not much of a choice other than to go do it again. Plus, last night while out having some drinks with the Bungy crew, Roadie Daniel somehow agree to join us, much to his dismay we had no intention of forgetting.
**** Roadie Research Segment ****
In the wild, roadies are adventurous creatures filled with unbounded curiosity. Just feel the excitement that roadie Daniel radiates while exuberantly joining the other roadies on hunt for adventure
Look! Roadie Cliff has cleverly hunted down some food that was located in the Bungy office fridge, don't attempt to touch a roadie while eating.
Roadies, by nature, are extremely supportive of their peers, this deep compassion and sensitivity can be clearly seen below as roadies Cliff and Manny comfort roadie Daniel as the reality that he has actually agreed to jump off of the non-burning bridge, begins to set in.
Another aspect of merit that roadies are known for is fearlessness.
Please don't be frightened by the next photo as observing a roadie in 'fierce mode' can be quite traumatizing to the unprepared. Here Roadie Daniel is clearly a force not to be reckoned with
As the moment approaches, roadie Daniel could hardly be restrained as he dashes toward the precarious precipice
Looking downward, only further enthralls this adventurous roadie with determination and glee
Perch in attack mode, notice how Roadie Daniel's firmly grips the fabric of his handler's shirt utilizing the "pinch" method of attaching himself to the fabric. This is a rare and never before seen roadie trait. Legend has it that many centuries ago when roadies were wandering warriors, they would latch themselves onto their foes and hurl themselves from high places. Perhaps this fabric pinch is a genealogical instinctual remnant action from ages past?
And then after what seemed like an eternity, because it nearly was, roadie Daniel leaps to his destiny which was to dangle on a rubber cord over the water.
**** End Roadie Research Segment ****
OK, for those of you that ant to get better idea of what it feels like to actually Bungy Jump, here is a video where I leaned backwards over the drop and was let go while I held my little camera in my hand.
And finally, thank you to the AJ Hackett Bungy crew, here we all are up at the jump site
And back the the whole crew all together. Thank You!!!
And if you are ever in Auckland, pay them a visit and tell 'em the Peppers roadies sent ya!
The love to fly,

61 Words #3 (Haiku Special)
This may be my last entry…
A few haiku for you today I think.
The wind blows harshly,
The Villagers run, screaming,
I blame the boiled eggs!
The poet's head drops,
He has tried to spin magic,
Not enough sylla…
I am desperate,
Nowhere left for me on land,
Then I pass water.
You're welcome!
Thanks for reading, now go haiku!

What I think about the Yankees
So this is what I really think about the Yankees.
Just 8 games into the season, we can tell a lot about their offense. It's starting to hit its stride, as the only player who is performing way over expectations is Jorge Posada. Matsui and Jeter have both started the season with good showings, but then again, good performance is expected of them.
I don't know anyone who expects Jorge Posada to hit more than .270 with over an .800 OPS this season. A lot of people would call that a generous estimate. I think he'll cool off eventually and return to his GIDP ways (although he only ground into 8 double plays last year), but if you're a Yankees fan, a good start from Jorge is icing on the cake. The thought of Jorge Posada as icing on a cake is disgusting and vile, so I'm going to change the subject now.
So the offense is the offense. And so far, the pitching has been actually a little better than advertised. Although not by much. Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina have both started well, and considering the fears about the old fogies on the staff stumbling out of the gates, this has to be a good sign as well.
Unfortunately it's the "kids" on the staff who have stuggled - both Chacon and Wang had atrocious starts. The Kansas City Royals managed to put up 10 runs on the two of them in consective days earlier this week. Of course, the Yankees did manage to win both those games, so this might be what we should expect of the team for the entire season.
The one good thing to take away from the Royals series, however, is the bullpen. Aside from two earned runs allowed by son of Worcester Mass, Tanyon Sturtze, the bullpen was excellent those two games, going 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing only one hit.
Joe Torre has spread out the work so far, and I think he that aside from Jaret Wright, he actually trusts his bullpen this year. This is integral, since last year, Torre rode Sturtze and Gordon heavily, the two of them nearly logging 80 innings each, with no other reliever (besides Rivera of course) breaking 45 innings.
If I can say one thing about Sturtze however, it is that he can be a very good reliever, as long as Torre doesn't use him against Baltimore - in 11 and 1/3 innings against Baltimore last year, Sturtze allowed 20 hits, 17 earned runs, 3 long balls, and only struck out 6. His ERA against Baltimore was 13.50 and Baltimore hitters hit .370 off him. If you take those 11 innings out of his record, his ERA drops from 4.73 to 3.22.
Small sample size issues must be taken into account, but when a reliever gets lit up this much against one team, it's probably safe to say that they had his number last year. Even more surprising is that Sturtze only lost 1 game against Baltimore, and did record 2 wins (both with scoreless, 1 inning outings).
But if Torre can indeed avoid overusing a couple of relievers, and it appears that he may be trying, the Yankees bullpen might be solid this year. And a solid Yankees bullpen will go a long way to offset a bad starter or three (if Pavano ever comes back).
And in doing the research for this, I just realized how much Baltimore handed the Yankees the AL East crown last year - in an 8 game stretch from September 19 to Septebmer 29, the Yankees went 7-1 against the Orioles.

The Rosendal Family
What's your best family memory?
It's difficult to pinpoint one with the amount of travelling we do but one that stands out is when we biked through the foothills in Kananaskis Country (Alberta). The boys would watch the beautiful surroundings and wildlife from their Chariot, chit-chat, eat their snacks, and go for a nap when they got tired. At night, we were staying in a tee-pee but there were signs warning us about a recently spotted bear so I was terrified. Needless to say, we slept in a hotel the second night but still laugh at the fact that I placed the space heater by the entrance and made Nick look through the flap every time something moved–as though any of that would have warded off a wandering bear, haha!
What's your favorite thing to do as a family?
Early every morning, when the boys wake up, we cuddle in bed together or when one of us is gone for a work trip, we'll call and all chat on the phone. As of late, Jonah (almost 4) even makes sure to include their yet-to-be-born sibling by touching my belly and telling him or her a story or singing a song. It's our favorite way to start the day!
What is your favorite family tradition?
Our Saturday and Sunday activities have become a tradition! Week days are often hectic but on Saturday we make breakfast–occasionally Elliot (who is turning 2 this month) starts the blender without the lid on–and do something active together. Then on Sunday after church we snuggle on the couch with books, puzzles, cookies and tea, and make phone calls to family in Alberta or the Netherlands.
What's the best thing about your family?
We love community! We believe that families, while being the foundation of society, should focus outward rather than inward. That's why there's always an extra plate of food, cup of tea, or mattress and pillow. In fact, Nick dreams of having a huge home where we can host anyone who ever needs a place to stay, just like we've had the privilege of spending the night at someone else's home when on the road. And we are blessed by all the people that come and go!
What do you think makes a happy family?
Prayer, share, and serve together–it keeps us very close while reaching out to people around us and already teaches the boys that happiness isn't about what you own or accomplish, but rather in living with and for others.
What three words best describe your family?
Communication, contentment, and quality time. And if I can add one more: lots of hugs!

Also, there was no line at the standard photo-op spots. Addison danced on the temple stone for at least 5 minutes and we didn't have to worry about a line of people waiting to stand in the same place. It was AWESOME!
Addison enjoyed pushing her stroller around and she couldn't get her mittens off because I attached them to her sweatshirt. She wasn't patient enough for me to help her get her thumbs into the thumb part of her mittens and so she just had sock-like coverings over her hands. She sure is independent.
My sister and her family came down to meet us about 5:30. We actually got a group picture with all but Aiden looking at the camera...how awesome is that?
Addison loves Kyle and he is enamored with her. He loves to hug her and be by her and "help" her and she resists most of his "help" But they did have a blast chasing each other and running all over. (Look how un-crowded the pavement - they could run quite a ways and the parents didn't have to worry because we could actually see them.)
For the first time in a long time Oliver was in charge of the camera for the beginning of our trip to the square. That means that there are actually some great pictures of me and Addison - LOVE IT! So I thought I'd share on more.
I have to share this funny little story - Addison was running around (see first picture), she turned to come back to us and got confused because of all the jeans so she joined this group (see second picture). They thought she was so cute and started talking to her at which point she frantically looked around for us and came running back (see third picture). I just love how curious and independent she is.
After seeing the lights we went back to my sister's home for dinner and some visiting. I have another funny story to tell about Addison and Kyle but I'll save it for another post...for now you can enjoy how cute my nephews are.
Luckily my blog doesn't have the large following and so I'm pretty sure my early visit plan won't be that widespread. But feel free to join us at 5 pm next year to enjoy the deserted tour of beautiful lights and still get your kids to bed at their regular bedtime.

The 8th video game in the series
KONAMI, today released the first screenshots and music from the highly anticipated survival horror game, Silent Hill: Downpour. Making its return to "next generation" consoles this fall, Silent Hill: Downpour will bring a completely original storyline, and all-new haunting soundtrack as players find themselves stranded in the foggy, malevolent world of Silent Hill.
Silent Hill: Downpour starts as Murphy Pendleton, the game's main character, finds himself lost and alone in the woods after his prison transport bus crashes near the town of Silent Hill. What happens after is up to the player as they traverse an all-new Silent Hill environment that is expansive, yet claustrophobic. And though this sleepy town may feel desolate, the player is never truly alone.
Screenshots show highly detailed environments of the new Silent Hill, where seedy pasts and uncertain futures unify to create to a terrifying present. Included within is a sneak preview of the town, as well as two all-new environments: The Diner and The Devil's Pit.

Last evening, Liz D. and I attended a book launch party for "Real Housewives of New York" star Jill Zarin's "Secrets of a Jewish Mother," written with her mammer and sister. The locale: Zarin Fabrics on Manhattan's Lower East Side. In attendance were fellow "Housewives" Ramona Singer, LuAnn de Lesseps, Kelly Bensimone and Bravo's handsome Andy Cohen, along with several hundred NYC fashionistas and social elite. One hell of a pretty crowd.Liz D. and meese with Jill Zarin.With my new boyfriend Andy Cohen. Love the teeth!The "Housewives," et al.The scene. What I observed:
* Plastic surgery is alive and thriving in New York. I have not seen so much stretched facial skin in one place since I visited Sea World's seal exhibit as a kid. I met one broad whom, I swear, smiled back at me, but her face remained locked in inertia. Botox overload.
* Chest hair makes a return! At last the gays seem to have stopped waxing their entire bodies. The 20-somethings in attendance are allowing a little chest hair to peak out of their shirt tops again. It's about time. However, many of the queens seemed to be wearing as much make-up as the ladies. Just say no.Zarin is interviewed for NBC's "New York LX."LuAnn de Lesseps and dreamy Andy Cohen (Getty Images)

Lovely day today. (can you hear how thick the sarcasm is in that line?) Strep has been going around the city and lil' Sean's daycare, only he's not the one who caught it. That's right. Me.
I just had strep real bad back in January (that required an overnight stay at hospital) and this case is pretty bad, too, but was caught in time. Doc says that one more case and he's pulling my tonsils.
The worst part is not being able to really function. With the fever and soar, swollen through and dizziness from the fever and not being able to swallow (so lower blood sugar) I just feel like a blob. Sean at least had a real good day with his great-Grammy and then with Daddy tonight. I just wish I could have done more when Nate's gone (had a little get-together) and Sean woke up and was mad. I don't want him exposed anymore than he already had been, and I don't feel safe holding him with the light-headedness. And boy was he mad!
At least he and I had a good time last night. We went to the mall to drop off some books (our library is temporally located during their renovations). We had a good talk with or three librarian friends and then went to play in the kiddy area. (I'm going to have to management about that they need to enforce the age limit rule. Honor system isn't working and kids are getting hurt)
But the best part was very unusual. There is a wild life educational center that opened up a couple months ago, so Sean and I checked it out. They had real live wolves and a baby cougar there! Don't worry, they were use to people and born in captivity, plus in their fence area, so we were safe.
They had all sorts of cool things, like fossil and skeletal remains that were found in Iowa. Sean really liked the Saber Tooth Tiger skull and holding the Mammoth tusk replica. They had lots of pelts that had been donated of native species that you could touch and feel; Sean grabbed everyone I showed him and gave it a big kiss!! It was the cutest thing in the world! He especially liked the mink and otter pelts.
His highlight of that visit was he got to pet a real live skunk! De-smelled of course, but still a real skunk! He thought that was super cool. And boy, was this skunk a big fella'! The last thing we did before leaving was pet a black ferret. Sean has been around ferrets before, so I know he likes them, but it was real close to bed time and he was getting tired and tried to grab this lil gal's face. We left, and he didn't have a fit or anything, so I think he had a real good time. We're going to go back there with Daddy soon, once I'm done with this crud.

Today I have many things to be thankful for.
* The love of family is high on my list. I was brought up that family is the most important thing we have. All of my family are very important to me. I'm am thankful for each one of them.
* I'm thankful for my friend, Denise, over at Shortybear's Place. Denise has been a great source of support to me. She is such a loving and giving person. She is VERY ILL right now. Please click on the link to her site and pay a visit and also keep her in your prayers. She has diabetes and is suffering from severe complications of that disease.
* I'm thankful for my friend, Deena, of Can I Be Pretty in Pink? This is Deena's diary about her journey with breast cancer. Deena is such a dear and is Grandma of six. Wow! I can barely keep up to two. Please keep Deena in your prayers as well, as she is feeling scared right now, which is absolutely normal. Her surgery is in 13 days. Deena has another lovely blog as well. It's Nestled in the Singing Woods.
If you have time, please visit both of these ladies. If that isn't possible, please keep them in your prayers.
* I'm thankful for all the online friends I have that brighten each day with their posts, emails, love and prayers. Thanks to all of you.
* I'm thankful for food on our table, a roof over our heads and enough money to get by each month and have some left over. There was a time when I didn't have enough to get by on.
* For God, who knows all things and is with us in our daily walk.
I hope you enjoyed my Thankful Thursday post. May each of you be blessed as you go about your lives today. Blessings ~Mary~

Post written by Orsolya Hernold
Throughout my teenage years, I was constantly putting myself on different diets. I tried every idea I heard or read. I measured myself frequently and the number on the scale, my weight, was defining how I felt on that day.
Then I spent 6 months in Africa where basically I was living on white rice–as a result this number got out of my control. After my return, I remember staring at a magazine ad of a model and felt miserable. I was aware of the efforts of my teenage years and how futile they have been. I gave up. I was not interested in stepping on the scale anymore because I knew it will screw my day.
Then came my dismay: this number has a hold on me and decides what mood I am in. What a realization!
In 2000, I vowed never to step on a scale anymore. (The only exception I made was during my first pregnancy. In the first months, I was quite cooperative, and doctors needed numbers, but since there was no reference number from the time before pregnancy, I convinced them that there is no use in weighing me.) During the last 15 years I have been sometimes heavier and sometimes lighter (two pregnancies included), and I was sometimes upset and sometimes happy about how I look. But there was no number defining my days anymore.
Numbers are signposts, are worth to examine, since they can influence my life. Just to name a few: the balance of my bank account, my age, the number of readers of my posts. Do they define me? How? What would I be without this number?
And for you:
- What numbers have power over me?
- How do I feel if the number is less or more of my ideal number?
- What happens if I disregard this number just for one day?
- What else can I focus my attention on, something that this number has concealed from me so far?
And, oh yes, I am still on board, very much far from being perfect or content – my bra size still haunts me.

OMAHA — Pinch-hitter Eddie Davis' two-out, two-run homer in the eighth inning tied the game and Kevin Curtis followed with another homer off LSU ace Mike Sirotka on Wednesday to keep Long Beach State alive with a 10-8 victory in the College World Series semifinals.
Sirotak had thrown a three-hitter against the fourth-seeded 49ers in a 7-1 opening-round victory Friday. This time, he came on as a reliever in the eighth and gave up four runs.
