Misc: Records Albums and Wristbands
It won't make it in the Friday Random Ten, well, because it's Thursday, but I have to give props to Genesis' "In the Cage" (Three Sides Live version). First, any song that lasts your whole commute is cool enough to start with, but I probably haven't heard that track in years. Awesome. It's easy to forget that before Phil Collins turned in to a giant easy-listening pussy, he was among the preeminent drummers in rock. Listening to this song was just a total timewarp experience to me. To back when I used to buy albums on vinyl and tape them because the sound quality was better...
Once, early in high school, for some "dress-up" Spirit Week thing, I went to school dressed as Phil Collins. Which, circa 1984, based on MTV concert videos, consisted of a grey T-shirt and wrist sweatbands... people were like, "Who the hell are you?"
"Phil Collins."
Anyway, needless to say, I love old Genesis. I know "Seconds Out" and the old Peter Gabriel "Live" are better, but "Three Sides Live" is special to me. In the car this morning, volume cranked, drumming furiously on my steering wheel (even though my hand is barely a week removed from being in a cast), I could still recognize the moment in the song where Phil leaves the front of the stage and climbs back to his bizarro lefty drum set to join Chester for a massive two-drummer jam. There's no cheer, no audible cue, just the sudden "doubling" of the drums. then Phil's signature "fills" start showing up.
Today will be a good day.

so your excuse for missing the rose was a bizarre genesis infatuation?

Good God. I actually feel bad for being non-committal about it, but being less than a week (at the time) out of my cast, I was really tentative about playing three successive games. I wanted to wait til the last minute to make up my mind and then a whole bunch of bullshit came up, and I would have missed it regardless.
You play the Jeremy Rose Tournement with the softball squad you have, not the one you wish you had.

Remember the tale of the Hamelin town,
Where the ol' Pied Piper won his great renown?
Well, here is a story of similar plot,
Which happened the other day (or maybe not).
Remember the tale of the Hamelin town,
Where the ol' Pied Piper won his great renown?
Well, here is a story of similar plot,
Which happened the other day (or maybe not).
Across our Peninsula, spring did arrive,
And all of dead nature was coming alive.
The buds were a-budding, the birds were a-trilling,
And all of the daffodils were daffodilling.
The grass and the trees and the bushes grew green,
And every homeowner and gardener was keen
To get in his yard and start weeding and mowing
And commence the rose and tomato to growing.
But when we had picked up our hoes and our rakes
And rushed out of doors, we found - for heaven's sakes!
An unwelcome visitor made us all squirm,
For it had arrived: the day of the inchworm!
Now, one little inchworm, we wouldn't dispute.
It's tiny and green; you might even say cute.
But, to the dismay of all local civilians,
They came by the thousands and millions and billions.
They crawled up our legs and they crept in our clothes,
They hung from the end of the mailman's nose.
They curled in our ears and hung out in our hair,
'Til we felt them even when they weren't there.
But it's not the crawling on our epiderm-
Is that the worst thing about Mr. Inchworm.
The worst thing about these pesky caterpillars
Is: If you've got leaves, these buggers are killers.
Those nice, new green leaves will get totally chewed
'Til our trees and bushes are practically nude.
When a million inchworms are having their luncheon,
I swear, you can just about hear them all munchin'.
So all the homeowners raised a hue and cry,
Declaring together: "These inchworms must die!
We must find a way to stop these worm attacks
Before our trees start to look like bare hat racks."
"We know there are sprays you can squirt on a shrub,
But you can't spray all over the whole landscape, bub.
'Tain't environmental to spray that much Flit.
So is there another way to make these bugs git?"
Just then, from the street they heard an odd ruckus.
At the side of the road, an old pickup truck was
Pulling up. Then, as the people did stare,
Out climbed a man clad all in plaid outerwear.
"Hello, there," the man said. "Ain't my outfit keen?
I got it all mail order, from L.L. Bean.
I'm called the Plaid Piper, and I take requests
For piping away any of your town's pests."
"Can you get rid of inchworms?" they asked him. Quoth he,
"You bet I can. Of course, I charge a big fee."
So figuring that they had nothing to lose,
They hired him to play his worm-away blues.
So, raising his pipe to his lips, he produced
Sweet music designed to leave inchworms seduced.
The sound he created (this is beyond belief)
Put hearers in mind of a juicy green leaf!
It sounded just like a leaf would, if leaves sang.
Which caused every inchworm to holler, "Hot dang!"
So from every tree and each bush, they beat feet
To follow the Plaid Piper on down the street.
Soon a river of inchworms, all wriggling and green,
Sashayed to his music up Route 17.
They inched up to Yorktown, climbed over the ridge,
And then they all jumped off of the Coleman Bridge.
The piper came back and presented his chit.
(Now, if you have read the old Hamelin bit,
You may recollect the Pied Piper was miffed
And took his revenge after he had been stiffed.)
But I'm glad to say that trick wasn't replayed;
The Plaid Piper's invoice was completely paid.
They opened their wallets and shouted, "Our hero!"
And filled up his pockets with mucho dinero.
You see, they remembered that earlier saga,
How piping made Hamelin's children go gaga.
No yard-loving homeowner wants his kids gone;
We need them here this summer, to mow the lawn.
Besides, we don't want this piper shown defiance;
Before long, we may once again be his clients.
There is one more spell that would be really neat-o:
Can he pipe a tune to chase off a mosquito?

Can he drive??
Had our youngest customer yet come in yesterday! Little John Hamill IV came in to pick up some much needed aprons for his mommy and g-ma as well as a few items to decorate his future cousin's bedroom.

Entering his park at one of the low points and riding up through the woods, Fitzwilliam Darcy struggled against the melancholy which threatened to consume him. This was not the way he planned to return to his ancestral estate. Hot and sweaty, on horseback, and worst of all, completely alone. No, this was not the homecoming of his dreams. That homecoming involved a comfortable, well-sprung carriage and the companionship of Elizabeth Darcy, who simply did not exist. Sometimes he felt as if all that was left to him was dreams, but the comfort of them fled as soon as he awoke. At least the nightmares that had plagued him after Hunsford had become less frequent. Difficult as it was to be left with only dreams, they were certainly better than the nightmares of Elizabeth's anger and horror at his proposal.
Cresting the hill, his eye was caught by Pemberley House on the other side of the valley. It was a beautiful house, combining a near-perfect location and exquisite architecture, but what most impressed him today was the sheer loneliness of the place. Yes, it was lonely, a near shell of a house waiting for a family to fill it. A family he had hoped to have with Elizabeth. Yes, this house was meant for a large family, with many children, visiting family and friends, and most of all, love, life and laughter. Even now, a carriage was being led away toward the stables. Wait, I do not recognize that carriage, Darcy thought. It must be some day-trippers come to view the place.
Not wishing to risk an encounter with strangers in his own home, Darcy turned his mind to a way to delay his arrival for a time. Looking around, he realized he was very close to one of his favorite spots in the woods. Just down the hill and around a small ledge was a small but deep section of the stream below a small waterfall. It was some distance from this pool to where the stream left the woods to flow into the lake, and it was well away from the accustomed circuit walked by visitors to the estate. What better place was there to go on a hot summer day? He would certainly enjoy cooling off a bit, and it would be equally nice to wash off some of the road dust which felt ground into his skin in every nook and cranny. Yes, the waterfall pool would be perfect.
Leaving the road, he rode his horse through the woods, soon coming to his beautiful, deserted pool. No question-that water was just the solution to wash away his dust and melancholy. Dismounting, Darcy tucked his crop into a strap on the saddle, looped the reins back over the horse's neck, and gave him a swat on his hindquarters. The horse would be more than happy to return to the stables on his own, and he would serve to notify the servants that the master had returned. Once the horse was on his way, Darcy sat down on a log beside the pool and removed his coat, waistcoat and cravat, and shook them out before laying them over the log beside himself. He then proceeded to shed his boots and remaining articles of clothing before diving into the cool, refreshing water.
Ahh, what bliss can be found in being home!
Upon exiting Pemberley House, Elizabeth Bennet was caught in deep reflection about Mr. Darcy. His character was so confusing! She had been so convinced that he was an ill-tempered man. However, the testimony of a servant such as Mrs. Reynolds could not be dismissed. To have known him since he was four years old! Why, that must be near a quarter of a century. No man, no matter how reserved, could hide his true character that long. No, it must be true. That small feeling which had come upon her in the gallery, so like regret, stole over her again. Perhaps I really did make a mistake in refusing Mr. Darcy. But truly, how could the man expect me to love him when he hardly made the effort to acquaint me with his true character? Vexing man! I shall think no more of him. I must find a way to restore my peace. If the gardener is anything like the housekeeper, his discourse will hardly help me forget his master.
Turning back to Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, Lizzy asked, "Aunt, Uncle, do you mind if I walk through the woods rather than the gardens? I promise I will return within the hour. I cannot imagine the garden tour will be completed in less time than that. Truly, we have seen so many great houses and formal gardens that I have little interest in them. However, I do not believe I have seen the equal of Pemberley's woods before!"
"Well, Lizzy, if the gardener can direct you to a suitable trail, and if it is not too much an imposition, I shall consent", Mr. Gardiner replied. "I know how much you have missed your solitary walks while you have traveled with us. I suppose it can do no harm to allow you to wander in the woods, as long as you are careful not to get lost."
Lizzy laughed. "You know me too well, Uncle. Very well, I promise not to stray out of sight of the trail or a prominent feature that will orient me to it. Will that suffice?"
"Yes, Lizzy, that will suit admirably. Mind you pay attention and do not get lost. We have old friends to locate and I am simply too excited to wait beyond our arrival in Lambton this afternoon."
Shaking her head, Lizzy laughed softly. "Dear aunt, I am so happy for you to have the opportunity to renew your friendships. I would not dream of delaying you a whole evening! I shall not get lost. Oh, look, here is the gardener. Let us ask him for a suitable trail."
Mr. Gardiner turned to the young under-gardener who was to guide them through the gardens. "Hello, young man, would it be possible for my niece here to take a trail through the woods rather than tour the formal gardens with my wife and I? I am afraid she much prefers the designs of nature to those created by man's hand."
"Yes sir, there's fine trail just across the bridge. It goes through the woods and comes out at the other end of the lake. Can't get lost that way."
"Will that suit you, Lizzy? It looks to be a fine trail. I imagine there are birds and trees enough to satisfy even you."
"Oh, uncle, I do not see how that is possible! However, I believe that trail will suit me admirably. Please enjoy your time in the gardens, and I will meet you back here at the end of the tour. I trust you will have many wonderful rhapsodies to share about these fine gardens. We shall have to see who can outdo the other in rising to new heights of outrageousness in our praise of the proud, proper, and perfect Pemberley!"
"Oh, go on with you Lizzy, now you are being quite silly. Enjoy yourself my dear, and please return to us in one piece!"
So saying, Mrs. Gardiner and her husband turned to follow Peter, the under gardener, while with a happy laugh and a joyous step, Elizabeth happily stepped out toward the bridge over the stream and the beckoning trail beyond.
Freedom! I shall find some peace this day!
Mr. Darcy swam for a considerable period of time. The peace he felt as he shed the cares of London and returned to his own native soil could not be overstated. What a pleasure it was to return to the country! It always amazed him how he could bear to be gone for more than half of the year from his home. Unfortunately, the demands on him by both business and society made it very difficult to devote more time to Pemberley. Perhaps once Georgiana's education was more complete he could begin to spend more time at home. At present, he simply felt the need to be available to her, and since she lived primarily in London, so must he. While she was in school, his presence did not seem so important, but then she left and Ramsgate happened.
Darcy tried to turn his mind from anything related to George Wickham. He had long disapproved of the man George had become, but after what he did to Georgiana, that disapproval had turned to a very strong dislike. And after Wickham's skillful maligning of Darcy to Elizabeth, that extreme dislike had become utter loathing. Naturally it did not help that Darcy understood he himself could have affected both outcomes had he simply been more open with those he valued, but it was in the past now and there was nothing he could do about that, right? Displeased with himself, Darcy once again attempted to discipline his wayward thoughts away from Wickham without allowing them to stray toward his dreams of Elizabeth. There was no point in torturing himself, after all.
With a deep sigh and resigning himself to the fact that he did indeed have business that must be accomplished before his guests arrived on the morrow, Darcy swam to shallow water, where he stood and began to slowly walk toward the shore, looking for fish in the shadows near the edge of the pool. Just as he neared knee-deep water, he heard a gasp and jerked his head up. Suddenly he realized that it was, in fact, possible for his dreams to turn to nightmares once again. He thought Elizabeth Bennet had stripped him of all his pride at Hunsford. He was wrong. Mortified, Darcy threw himself back under the water as a new, terrifying thought occurred to him.
Have I just ruined my second chance?
Elizabeth privately rejoiced as she stepped off the bridge and entered the Pemberley woods. Her thoughts were so unsettled as she wandered through the house that she truly had no idea how she felt about Mr. Darcy anymore. In the months since Hunsford, she had come to accept that she had been wrong about Mr. Darcy's character, but still felt no sorrow over refusing his proposal because she could not bear the thought of being forever tied to such an ill-tempered man. Yet now, Mrs. Reynolds' report had caused her to doubt even that judgment of him. Currently, her only comfort was in thinking that he would not have welcomed her low connections into his home. She could never separate herself from her beloved aunt and uncle. However, if she was so wrong about everything else related to Mr. Darcy, was it possible he would have welcomed them? After all, Mr. Bingley's wealth came from trade and Mr. Darcy seemed to feel no shame related to that connection. Her uncle was every bit as genteel as Mr. Bingley and considerably more educated. And when it came to comparing Aunt Gardiner with the Bingley sisters, well, the less said about that, the better. Perhaps she was wrong again?
With her spirits considerably discomposed, Elizabeth wandered ever deeper into the woods. The trees were certainly beautiful and the shade a most welcome respite from the hot sun they had endured all day as they traveled from Bakewell to Pemberley House. Her uncle was correct in his predictions about the birds and wildlife as well. Lizzy acknowledged that this communion with nature was precisely what she needed.
Turning to round a bend in the trail, Lizzy heard a quiet waterfall nearby, and more interestingly, the unmistakable sound of a woodpecker. Realizing that the waterfall and the small ledge it dropped from made an excellent landmark for finding the trail, she slipped quietly between the trees in search of the woodpecker.
Searching carefully as she rounded each tree, Lizzy was unprepared for the sight that met her as she neared the waterfall. Coming around a large tree, she looked up and gasped as she saw, not twenty feet ahead of her, the most shocking sight she had ever beheld in all her twenty years.
There, standing in water to just above his knees, was Mr. Darcy, and he was as naked as the day he was born.
Can this day become any more mortifying?
Darcy lunged to the surface of the pool. Embarrassed or not, this was the chance he had been longing for. Granted, she now had yet another offense to lay to his charge, and a fairly large one at that, but he must seize this opportunity! If she could possibly forgive him for separating Bingley from her sister, perhaps she could forgive a surprise sighting of him . . . well, unattired.
Gasping for air, he called out to the young lady whose back was now turned to him while her hands were pressed firmly over her eyes. Heavens, walking like that she was bound to fall and get injured. "Miss Bennet, please, wait! Just . . . stay facing away for a moment, but please, wait. I would very much like to speak to you!"
Oh, Darcy, you fool! How are you going to recover from this debacle? How will you even look her in the face after being so exposed to her? Well, I thought there was nothing left to hide after Hunsford and that dreadful letter, but it appears I was wrong about this as well! Somehow I shall conquer this as well. I suppose she truly is destined to strip me of all my pride. They say that 'pride goeth before the fall' and I have well and truly fallen. Now I shall have to see if I can get back up!
Darcy climbed to his feet and floundered, rather gracelessly, to the edge of the pool and his clothing. Realizing there was no way to salvage his appearance after this, he threw on his stockings, breeches, boots, shirt and waistcoat as quickly as possible. With his clothes sticking uncomfortably to his wet body, we walked up beside Elizabeth, staring straight ahead, and quietly cleared his throat.
"Miss Bennet, I hope you are well?"
Idiot! Can you not possibly think of something better to say than 'are you well'? Of course she's not well after that shock!
Upon seeing Mr. Darcy in all his manly glory, Elizabeth spun around as quickly as possible and covered her eyes as she prepared to flee the scene of the crime. While she certainly had not ogled his body, she had seen enough to see that he much more closely resembled the illustrations she had seen of Michelangelo's David than her young Gardiner cousins. He's certainly no infant! Oh my, I thought before I would never be able to face him, but now I KNOW I shall never be able to look him in the eyes again! I should never have come!
Just then, Lizzy heard Mr. Darcy call out and beg her to wait to speak with him. Wait, did he truly just BEG me? The proud Mr. Darcy, begging? I cannot leave without being unpardonably rude after such an entreaty, but oh, what can I say to him?
As much as she truly wished to decamp as quickly as possible from this mortifying scene, her good manners overruled her desires and she halted. Just like I did that morning in the park at Rosings. I wonder if he has another letter to present me. If I needed any more humiliation, I have certainly had my fill today!
Elizabeth stood quietly as she heard splashing behind her and then the rustle of clothing. After a few minutes, she heard footsteps behind her and then they came to a halt beside her. And then the sound she dreaded, Mr. Darcy's deep voice, inquiring after her health. Oh my, did he truly just inquire if I am well after THAT shocking sight? How am I to answer such an inquiry? Surely I can not say 'No Mr. Darcy, the sight of your completely unclothed body has left me more embarrassed than even reading your letter last spring. Somehow, sir, you manage to completely discompose me almost every time we meet, and it is only becoming worse! What next, shall you demand I ride a horse naked through the streets like Lady Godiva?' Oh, I wish I had never come to Pemberley!
"Miss Bennet? Is your family in good health? How is it that you are in Derbyshire? When did you leave Longbourn? And your family, they are well?"
Never had Elizabeth seen or heard Mr. Darcy so disconcerted. In shock, she momentarily forgot her humiliation and dropped her hands as she looked toward him. Meeting his eyes, the cheeks of both were overspread with the deepest possible blush. Never had Lizzy been so embarrassed, and judging from the expression on Mr. Darcy's face, as well as the hurried and repeated inquiries about her travel and her family, he was equally perturbed.
Suddenly, the extremely absurd nature of this encounter struck Elizabeth with force. As the humor of the situation dawned upon her, she began to shake with barely suppressed laughter. Mr. Darcy, however, seemed to be suffering under increased distress.
"Miss Bennet, are you unwell? Is there anything I can do for you? Please, just speak to me!"
Lizzy could no longer hold back her mirth at the preposterous predicament she found herself in. Shaking too much to stand, she fell to her knees on the ground in a heap as peals of laughter burst forth. She laughed so hard tears began to stream down her face. Glancing up at Mr. Darcy, she saw a range of emotions swiftly cross his face, from concern, to confusion, then chagrin, and finally a small smile dawned on his lips. This swiftly grew into a quiet chortle, and before Elizabeth could feel the shock of it, the first true, unfettered laugh she had ever heard from Mr. Darcy burst out upon the little clearing. He quietly dropped to a seat beside her and continued to chuckle. It was amazing what a difference a smile and a laugh could make to his once-haughty persona. This was quite a different Mr. Darcy to the one she had grown accustomed to in Hertfordshire and Kent.
Who was Mr. Darcy really? This man was really quite 'tolerable'! Just the thought brought on more giggles.
As he looked down upon Elizabeth's quietly shaking shoulders, Mr. Darcy was at a complete loss of what to think. Did the sight of me overset her completely? My Elizabeth is not such a missish, faint-hearted creature. What is wrong?
When she dropped to her knees, Darcy became increasingly worried. He had no idea what to do! Never had he been at such a loss to gain control over a situation that had been so completely out of control right from the beginning. Then, the most lovely sound he'd ever heard rang forth. Elizabeth, his glorious Elizabeth, was laughing. Whatever the cause, suddenly Darcy had faith that all would be well. In his relief, he began to laugh along with Lizzy. Only she could possibly have this effect on him. Without her, he was doomed to be the most serious, strait-laced, dull man alive! Only she could save him from himself. After all, the situation truly was absurd.
What a woman!
Finally gaining control over herself, Lizzy was at last able to subdue her mirth. Turning to Darcy with a little grin on her face, she said:
"Mr. Darcy, I do not know what it is about you and I, but I can safely say we have never had any perfectly boring interactions. Indeed, I fear for the well-being of England itself if our meetings become any more exciting! I am afraid though, that unlike our other conversations, I truly have no idea how to retaliate this time. I believe I must concede defeat!"
"Miss Bennet, surely you understand by now that I truly have no desire to frighten you! However, I must own that your courage truly does rise when challenged. I must beg your pardon for the unseemly nature of our meeting just now, but truly, I had no intention of seeing anyone!"
"Do not concern yourself sir, I asked your gardener if I might wander the trail through the woods rather than take the tour through the formal gardens with my aunt and uncle. I stumbled upon you as I was searching for a woodpecker. I certainly had no design of coming upon an unsuspecting gentleman. I am sorry, Mr. Darcy. I beg you can forgive me for that as well as for my laughter at the ludicrous predicament we found ourselves in. Surely our situation and conversation could not have been more ridiculous if we had tried!"
"You are undoubtedly correct, as always, Miss Bennet. In truth, I am grateful for the laughter. I do not believe I have been more embarrassed in my life than I was just now. I cannot help but be grateful for any opportunity to see you and speak to you again, but I must thank you for breaking though the awkwardness of this first meeting. Although the situation and this conversation are unquestionably improper by society's standards, socially acceptable forms of conversation seem rather impossible under the circumstances, do they not?"
"Unquestionably, sir. I thank you for your forgiveness. Now, however, I must be heading back toward the house before my aunt and uncle begin to worry for me."
"Please, will you permit me to escort you back? I should like to meet your relations."
"My aunt and uncle? These are the relations who live near Cheapside, sir. Are you certain you wish an introduction?"
"Absolutely, Miss Bennet. I can think of nothing else I would rather do just now. Admittedly, finding a clean set of clothes is nearly as appealing, but not if it means missing more time in your company."
"Please, sir, there is no need to flatter me. My uncle and aunt and I expect no extraordinary kindness from you. We would never have intruded on your home this way if we had not been assured that you were not presently expected in the country."
"Pray, do not make yourself uneasy. I am very glad to find you here and you are always welcome."
Once again he shocks me! Will I ever stop misunderstanding him?
All things considered, this conversation is going rather well, Darcy thought. Although certain his ears were permanently stained red from mortification, the simple fact that he was speaking in complete sentences felt like a rather significant achievement. Now, if he could manage to walk twenty minutes back to the house, meet Elizabeth's relatives, and conduct himself in a gentlemanlike manner throughout the whole despite his embarrassment and disheveled appearance, perhaps he would be able to make a new beginning with Elizabeth. Denying his desire to do so after this would be the height of foolishness. No other gentlewoman of his acquaintance would still be present and speaking to him after such a ... revelatory ... incident. Perhaps he could begin showing her that he had changed?
"What brings you to Derbyshire, Miss Bennet?"
"My aunt and uncle invited me to tour the Lakes with them this summer, but my uncle's business prevented us from leaving as soon as we wished, so they substituted a tour of Derbyshire instead. My aunt lived in Lambton for some years of her youth and wished to see the area again. She has many fond memories of her time here. I enjoy both their companionship and the opportunity to see new places, so I was most happy to be invited."
"Are you often able to travel?"
"Not so often as I would like, but this year has been a particularly good one. I was able to spend time in Kent with Mrs. Collins, a few days in London, and now this tour. My aunt and uncle have taken me a few other places in the past few years as well."
"That sounds delightful. They sound like very doting relatives."
Alright, Darcy, you've exhausted the possibilities of relatives and the trip to Derbyshire. Should we continue to discuss traveling and other 'polite' topics, or do I dare try to bring up something a little more significant? Considering how this meeting began, I think propriety is rather superfluous at this point! Oh, I wish I could think of something to say!
Elizabeth marveled again at how changed Mr. Darcy seemed. Considering that he sat an entire half an hour in the library at Netherfield last autumn without uttering a word to her, it was astonishing that he would be the person endeavoring to continue their conversation after a much more distressing beginning. He was even more communicative than during all those walks at Rosings in the spring! How could this possibly be? He could not still care for her, could he? Whatever his motivation for his efforts, she could not leave all the initiative in this conversation up to him.
"It has been some time since we last took a walk through the woods together, Mr. Darcy. I must say I prefer the wildness of your woods to the tame lanes and groves of Rosings, although I did enjoy them as well."
"I must admit to a preference for Derbyshire myself, although Kent is lovely in the spring. I enjoyed those walks with you very much."
"I hesitate to mention such a painful subject as our last conversation in April, sir, but I feel I owe you an apology for the accusations I made against your character. I have long been heartily ashamed of what I said. Considering the rest of this particular meeting, perhaps it is better to clear up all our misunderstandings at once?"
"I could not agree more, Miss Bennet. Please, do not make yourself uneasy about that last meeting in Kent. Although your accusations were ill-founded, my behavior to you was unpardonable. I can hardly bear to think on it. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."
"Of course, Mr. Darcy, it shall all be forgotten. I hope that you can forgive me, as well. Perhaps we should abide by my philosophy: think only on the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure. Now that we have forgiven one another, perhaps we can be friends?"
"Just friends, Miss Bennet? Surely you know I would like us to be much more than just friends. In truth, I have missed being in your company exceedingly. Would it be possible, would you ever consider . . . that is, could you find it in your heart to give me a second chance to earn your affections? I am actually grateful for our rather spirited conversation at Hunsford parsonage last April. You did me a great service by pointing out the flaws in my manners at the time. I have endeavored to correct my behavior, to live more by the spirit of what I was taught rather than by the expectations of society based on my wealth and connections. You inspire me with the desire to be a better man, to be someone worthy of you. Is there any possibility you could grow to care for me?"
Lizzy looked at him in astonishment. Despite all that had happened between them, their barely civil debates, misunderstandings, and especially the acrimonious encounter in Hunsford, he was still interested in pursuing her? Could she ever learn to love this man? Slowly, she began to answer.
"Mr. Darcy, I once told you that I was endeavoring to sketch your character and did not get on at all. I am afraid that at that time I believed my sketch was being done in ink, dark and indelible. I am beginning to think now that yours is a sketch requiring a slate, allowing me to freely rub out lines and correct the myriad details that make up your character. I am coming to believe that yours is a particularly intricate character, and as I also once said to you, intricate characters are certainly the most amusing to study. I have a feeling, sir, that I would very much like to study your character in greater depth. In short, I believe there is a definite possibility that I could grow to care for you, although I must say that you are still somewhat of a mystery to me, and I would need to know you much better before I could consider even the outlines of your sketch to be complete. And you must realize, sir, if you continue to spend time with me, there are bound to be more mistakes, leading to many more heated discussions! I may even seek to humble you again!"
"I look forward to all conversations with you, heated or otherwise. As far as humbling me goes, I believe you were extraordinarily successful at that in Hunsford. And if you had not so thoroughly succeeded then, I daresay the incident just now would have sufficed to accomplish that goal. As it was, the surprise of seeing you certainly brought me to my knees."
Lizzy laughed in delight. "Mr. Darcy, I believe you have a sense of humor after all! You have been concealing it for far too long, sir. You must expose it more often!"
"There seems to be no point in concealment any more, Miss Bennet. Being circumspect has not served me well with you. At the risk of sounding like Lady Catherine, with you I would much rather be celebrated for frankness. Miss Elizabeth Bennet, would you permit me to court you?"
"Yes, Mr. Darcy, I believe I would like that."
I cannot believe it! He must still be in love with me! I now begin to see the man Mrs. Reynolds spoke of. Perhaps he really was the 'sweetest-tempered boy in the world'. I believe Aunt and Uncle Gardiner are going to receive a shock in a few minutes. I imagine they will give both of us quite an examination. How much do I dare tell them?
From despair to humiliation to great joy. How many emotions can one man feel in a few hours?, Darcy wondered. This day was certainly nothing like he had anticipated it would be, although so far it was much better. Despite having the love of his life find him in a state of extreme undress and dripping wet, he once again was able to hope, as he had never dared to hope before. His entire future spread out before him, full of light, life, happiness, and love. The idea of Elizabeth here with him forever, in his beloved home, surrounded by a family they would have together, was such a joyful thought that he could not stop a great smile and a happy laugh.
"What pleases you so, sir?
"At the risk of sounding very presumptuous, Elizabeth, I was thinking about what a delightful story this would make to tell our child one day: he owes his life to an impromptu swim and a woodpecker!"
Ah yes, happy thought, indeed!

Kiwi kids are lovin' it, if 'it' is books.
McDonald's says books are now a permanent item on the menu as a part of its Happy Meal range, after a successful trial last year.
"The response to last year's trial offering the choice of a book or a toy with a Happy Meal was extremely positive," said McDonald's director of marketing Jo Mitchell.
"While toys remain a popular option, parents told us they liked having the choice."
Two books will be offered at any one time, starting with WOW! Space and WOW! Human Body. The other books in rotation will be Little Kiwi and the Dinosaur, Little Kiwi Looks After the Egg, The Magic School Bus on the Ocean Floor and The Magic School Bus Plants Seeds.
Over Christmas, Happy Meals will come with either A Kiwi Christmas Carol or The Kiwi Hokey Tokey.
Yoghurt will soon join the menu too. Parents can already swap out chips and soft drinks for healthier options like fruit and flavoured milk or water.

A huge part of Christmas is all about novelty gifts, evident from the supermarkets and stores filled to the brim of 'Rudolph and Frozen' toot. Now before you write me off (pardon the pun) as a 'Bah Humbug' I'm not. I love a novelty gift as much as the next person, but it has to be something that can be used, rather than a waste of a fiver. Bearing this in mind I've been scouring the best of novelty gifts that will not only result in a beaming smile, but gifts that aren't going to end up in the basket for the 'school fete bags'! Here's my choice!

A refreshing and uplifting scent that rivals some of the top branded perfumes on the market!

This is one of those things where I am OK using this against an enemy, but not on regular citizens.
I understand the need for surveillance – but when does it go over the line? Is it a program problem, or a people problem? In other words – should the program be scrapped or is the program OK but the people running the program are suspect? I think the program is OK – but should be run very tightly. That is very sensitive info. It shouldn't be used politically or without some sort of warrant. Targets should be on an official list before being under this type of surveillance.
Top-Secret Document Reveals NSA Spied On Porn Habits As Part Of Plan To Discredit 'Radicalizers'
The National Security Agency has been gathering records of online sexual activity and evidence of visits to pornographic websites as part of a proposed plan to harm the reputations of those whom the agency believes are radicalizing others through incendiary speeches, according to a top-secret NSA document. The document, provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, identifies six targets, all Muslims, as "exemplars" of how "personal vulnerabilities" can be learned through electronic surveillance, and then exploited to undermine a target's credibility, reputation and authority.

Five Easy Steps for Pinpoint Website Translation
Companies often approach website and app translation like other process-oriented business activities. They see it as building a plan, gathering resources, and moving methodically through the process to an end result. And the end result may not have to be a work of art; it just has to work.
The problem with this line of thinking is that translation is not a typical business process. There are countless nuances to every language that can't be overlooked, and it takes true expertise to localize a website, app or service into a meaningful end product. So for localization project managers, it's not just about making it work. It's about making it work right — and that takes pinpoint execution from a linguistic and process perspective.
So what constitutes pinpoint website translation? Five key things:
Focus on Translation Accuracy
Getting the context right for every translated phrase, sentence and idea is vital for pinpoint localization. Local audiences will know if you've done your homework, so it pays for your localization platform or service to have a state-of-the-art contextual linguistic engine at its core. Contextual translation gives you far better accuracy — as much as 10x more accuracy than manual approaches — helping you reduce errors and get the job done right the first time.
Choose Translation Methodology to Fit Your Needs
Every localization project has different requirements, so you need flexibility when choosing the right approach. Machine translation (within an automated platform) works best when you want to do it fast, use pre-translated content and just plug it in and let the technology do the heavy lifting. Crowdsourcing is best for larger sites and projects, where there is a huge volume of content and you can just open it up to your entire user base to scale efforts. And professional translation is best when you really want to hone in on the right nuances of a language, working with language service providers right in the localization platform to give you pinpoint results.
Reduce Cycles to Speed the Process
Typically, translation is a lengthy process that can last for months, calling for people resources (translators, developer support and project managers) and patience collaborating between each team member. An automated localization platform alleviates the burdens of a labor-intensive process, creates a repeatable system that preserves translation strings for re-use and eliminates the need for multiple translation files and updates.
Statistical Data Improves Translation Quality
The more information you have on what translations have worked in the past can help you hone in on the exact right translations in your current (and future) projects. Aggregating data with usability rankings, which automated platforms can provide, gives you better context for each translation — and more confidence that your translation choices have worked before and are spot on for your specific needs.
Leverage Community Translation
Odds are, whatever you're working on, similar translations have been done before. Translators can use a shared resource to significantly speed their projects and improve accuracy and quality. Universal Translation Memory provides a collaborative framework for sharing and utilizing translation strings across an entire network of translators, making both common and specialized translations available to the community.
With the right mindset and a focus on quality and speed, any organization can achieve the goal of pinpoint translation and make the global masses truly appreciate your software and services.

The following excerpt is from a recent Boston Globe article on DV: "Domestic violence has turned the home front into a battlefield bloodier than the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. Between October 2001 and June 2012, nearly 6,500 American troops were killed in Afghanistan and Iraq; during that same period, more than 11,700 women died in acts of domestic violence, according to the National Network to End Domestic Violence which also found that children are far more likely to die in their homes because of domestic violence than in school shootings…"
The fact that double the number-of-American women (of all races, creeds, and ethnicities) were killed in this country through domestic violence than the combined number of American soldiers killed in two wars to me is alarming. It indicates the real war for the sake of humanity is not the clash of cultures between east and west, but rather between the moral and immoral treatment of women.
For 11,700 women to be killed through domestic violence means that it took 11,700 men who de-evolved from being men grappling with anger management issues, low self-esteem, inner insecurities and cowardly instincts to now become murderers, and a large percentage of those murderers don't have the courage to face the consequences so they kill themselves after killing their victim.
This is not the time to merely observe, sit back and say this is a shame and a scourge on society. It is a collective responsibility every man must undertake to avoid complicity through omission and indifference. Every man has the responsibility to speak up and speak out about this. Don't just leave it sports stars, corporations and politicians to do it alone.
Don't affirmatively join in conversations with other men that brag about beating women. Don't condone your brother, your son, your cousin, your nephew or any other male relative who beats and abuses his wife/girlfriend through silence.
Remember, men who abuse women essentially are cowards who want your approval of their negative choices. Don't sign off, but rather sign up to make a difference. Help Stop Domestic Violence.
As the saying goes, "evil people prosper when good men do nothing…"

Real Madrid have decided that Chelsea and Man Utd target Alvaro Morata is not for sale this summer, reports AS.
The European champions activated their buyback clause to re-sign the Spain striker from Juventus last month.
It was suggested that they would look to cash in on Morata once again, with reports claiming the likes of Chelsea and United could pay up to €75m to secure his services.
However, Madrid believe Morata is ready to play an important role for them and they will not listen to any offers for him this summer.
Juanma Lopez, the player's agent, was at the Bernabeu on Monday and club officials informed him of their firm decision to not sell Morata at any price.
Atletico Madrid enquired about Morata two weeks ago and they were told that he is not for sale.

As the U.S. economy expands and the Federal Reserve continues its gradual uptick on medium- to long-term interest rates, overall bond issuance is forecasted to decline 13.3% to $3.56 trillion in 2006, compared to $4.10 trillion in 2005, according to results from a recent Bond Market Association survey. However, while issuance is expected to fall in interest rate-sensitive sectors, it is anticipated to either stay steady or rise in others that are not driven by rate fluctuations.
It is projected higher rates will have the greatest effect on MBS issuance, according to the BMA's 2006 credit market issuance outlook. Mortgage-related issuance is expected to fall 20.2% to $1.68 trillion in 2006, compared to $2.10 recorded in 2005. The estimate comes in light of rising mortgage rates and a slower growth in the housing sector.
In addition, long-term municipal issuance is predicted to total $352 billion, a 13.5% decrease from the $407 billion reported in 2005. ARM mortgage-related issuance is also expected to drop 26.7% to $633 billion due to higher initial rates and adjustments related to higher short-term rates. Agency MBS and CMO issuance are both slated to decrease by 17.5% to $755 billion and $260 billion, respectively. Non-agency MBS is expected to decrease in 2006 to $664 billion, down 23.9% from the previous year. Although a sharp fall in issuance is anticipated in the mortgage area, it will still be the fifth highest issuance year for the sector, according to the report.
ABS issuance is also expected to decline for the first time since 1999. It will fall 12.5% to $636 billion from $727 billion issued in 2005, according to the survey.
"ABS will be down, but that's because the largest sub-sector within ABS is home equity loans," said Michael Decker, senior vice president and head of research and policy analysis at the BMA. "Home equity loans issuance is driven to a larger extent by real estate evaluations. There's an expectation that the run-up in home values will slow so you'll see less home equity loan and home equity line borrowing and that'll be reflected in lower issuance in that area."
Auto loan, credit card receivable and other collateral sub-sectors within ABS are expected to rise, however.
Based on the survey, cash CDO issuance is expected to increase by 8.8% to $173 billion, compared to $159 billion issued in 2005. Leveraged loans will account for about 40% of the total cash issuance in this sector with a projected $63 billion in issuance, a 12.5% rise from 2005, according to the report. In addition, synthetic CDO issuance will be $80 billion in 2006.
Corporate bond issuance, including investment grade and high yield securities, is predicted to increase slightly to $719 billion, a 1.6% increment from the $708 issued in 2005.

Having been chastised by members of Congress, as I wrote in this post, for using private jets to travel to Washington for last month's hearing at which the CEOs of GM, Ford and Chrysler came begging for public assistance, it appears all have learned their lesson.
Comically so.
Reports have Alan Mulally tooling his way across the Eastern US in a Ford hybrid. Hapless GM CEO Rick Wagoner is doing something similar in one (or more) of his company's newer models.
Chrysler's Bob Nardelli had not, as of yesterday, disclosed his travel mode, other than to assure one and all that it certainly would not be a private jet.
The Detroit Three's second Congressional appearance has now taken on the character of a very bad reality television program.
Next, we'll hear that Mulally's car breaks down, or can't be recharged en route. So he misses the meeting because of frequent gas stops to fill the car's small tank.
Or that GM's Wagoner, inept as always, manages to lose his way and winds up in West Virginia, instead of Washington, D.C. Even his OnStar navigation system will fail him, to the embarrassment of all concerned.
Then Chrysler will reveal that Nardelli, not to be outdone, actually hitchhiked his way to the Congressional hearings. Unbeknownst to him, Mulally will have picked up Nardelli on I-70, south of the Breezewood exit, thinking him to be a drifter in an old, beat up suit, carrying a battered nylon courier bag.
Once before the Congressional panel, the three CEOs will be unexpectedly interrogated regarding their choice of lodging on the trip.
When it is revealed that Wagoner chose a Radisson, angry murmurs will sweep through the gathered lawmakers.
Mulally's selection of a Hampton Inn will be more favorably received, but only because the chain offers a plentiful, self-serve buffet breakfast.
But the assembled Members will rise to cheer and applaud when Nardelli reveals his audacious gamble in setting out for the Capitol on foot, staying overnight in a youth hostel in the Pittsburgh area.
Far from being insulted with the ex-Home Depot CEO's grimy, soiled and unshaven appearance, several Democrats will laud him as having finally gotten 'in touch' with the real spirit of 'hard working Americans' everywhere.
On a more serious note, though, I read yesterday's Wall Street Journal's Marketplace section's lead article, which depicted Alan Mulally's mug beneath the title, "Ford Will Speed Green-Car Launches."
What we are now seeing, sadly, is a group of struggling, near-dead companies offering to engage in whatever product and business strategies a group of equally-inept businessmen and women- Congress- demand of them, in hopes of securing some $30-40B of taxpayer-financed loans which are unlikely to ever be repaid.
Nothing good comes of a situation in which publicly-owned, private corporations set aside their own business plans and strategies, and, instead, simply agree to do public bidding, outside of, perhaps, wartime production agreements.
In this case, Ford and GM are touting what they believe Congress wants to see- a sudden rush to produce and market 'green' cars. No matter that the infrastructure for most of these is still non-existent. Or that they don't actually make economic sense for consumers to buy, if they are priced to make a profit.
By the way, look, next, for Congress to demand fairly rigid, low profit margins on 'green' cars, the better to speed their adoption.
Won't that result in the Detroit-based auto makers jumping from the frying pan of current, unprofitable vehicle manufacture, into the fire of newly-introduced, equally-unprofitable 'green' cars demanded by the Feds?
Probably so.
Simply put, why would anyone think that cars which the public doesn't seem to want in sufficient volume to make them profitable, will suddenly be popular just because a few Democratic members of Congress think, in their infinite wisdom as seasoned business experts, that our nation needs 'green' cars.
In my opinion, whatever happens next to Mulally's Ford, Wagoner's GM and Nardelli's Chrysler is appropriate justice which they will richly deserve. By turning over product planning to Congress, which last was seen architecting the spectacular collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as many commercial banks whose mortgage lending practices followed Congressional directives, these CEOs are abdicating what little chance of survival their firms have to a bunch of short-sighted politicians.
In short, Ford, GM and Chrysler are about to make a Faustian bargain with the devil, Congress. By suddenly pushing largely-unwanted, unproven 'green' cars, in exchange for tens of billions of dollars of loans, they will merely become more and more inextricably dependent upon the public trough.
It reminds me of the folly of Walter Wriston and David Rockefeller, then CEOs of Citibank and Chase Manhattan Bank, in the late 1970s. At that time, in the wake of the first oil price shock and Arab embargo, these two bankers were lauded by the Federal government for their vaunted 'recycling' of billions of 'petrodollars' from the Gulf to various third-world countries in need of loans.
The problem was that Walter and David forgot to mark up the interest rates on the resulting flood of 'sovereign loans' to unstable, poor (a/k/a "developing") countries around the globe, and, particularly, in South America.
Thus, only a decade later, in the late 1980s, many of these sovereign loans became non-performing, forcing the largest US money center banks to write off several billion dollars of these loans.
The thanks that Citibank and Chase Manhattan shareholders received for Wriston's and Rockefeller's bad loan and pricing decisions was a sudden loss of value in their investments in the two banks.
So much for private enterprise doing the bidding of government, instead of looking out for their shareholders' welfare and interests.
What happened to the US banks in the late 1980s is probably going to be repeated in Detroit in the next few years. Don't be surprised when the three American-based auto makers end up either as wards of Washington, merged at gunpoint, or on permanent Federal life-support.

I'm Such a Silly Gooseberry
Remember those gooseberries we bought at the farmers' market this morning?
I might have passed them right up, but as the word "gooseberries" issued from the mouth of the fellow running the local orchard stand, the Renaissance Man perked up. He turned to me and asked, "Have you ever had gooseberry pie?"
Since the answer was no -- actually, I'd never eaten gooseberries before at all -- the smile on his face only settled in more deeply as he decided that we needed to buy enough gooseberries to make a pie this weekend.
Translated: he wanted me to bake a gooseberry pie this weekend.
Well, what could I say? He was willing to buy the berries, and we faced a rainy forecast that precluded much outside work on the Farm, so I agreed.
Once we arrived at the Farm and settled in for the weekend, I headed into the kitchen to rinse and stem the berries and then to make the dough for the pie crust before joining the others in more technical discussions.
Later in the afternoon, I decided to bake the pie ahead of dinner, so I pulled out the dough and the filling and started assembling. Now, in looking up recipes for gooseberry pie, I mixed up a recipe for tarts (requiring a cooked filling and a pre-baked shell) with pie, so I goofed in simmering the berries with sugar, flour, and a bit of water, and it looked awfully wet when I poured it into the pie shell.
No matter -- I just slapped on the top crust, finished it off, and shoved it in to bake while I prepared dinner.
Happily, the pie baked just fine, with only a little leaking around the edge. It smelled wonderful, and everyone saved room after dinner for some fresh pie à la mode.
Yes, the berry juice still spilled out all over the dessert plates, and the filling quickly tried to follow. But we really couldn't complain, because the melting ice cream blended with it to make a creamy sauce for the pie that tasted perfectly sweet and sour.
Though the berries were a deep dusty pink stripe in color and not the pale green we had expected, they tasted pleasingly tart and made the pie filling turn a lusciously girly-girl color -- quite a change of pace from my usual baking!
I guess I don't have to feel quite so silly, then, since it all worked out well!

When Stripes Diverge
McKinney's absence from the debates apparently suggested to Georgia's DemoRats that perhaps that isn't what 'representation' is all about? So they canned her most plentiful ass. What a wonderful breakfast item (although I did expect it) to awaken to! That loud mouth, cellophane classic won't be missed in my household. Doesn't it make you wonder what kind of conversation she will have with herself in the aftermath? It seems it was beyond her comprehension that she could be rejected yet again. What I really look forward to is her littany of
What I find particularly interesting here is that Cynthia was not ejected by Dem's to install a pro-defense, conservative type alternative... Johnson stands on no more competent platform than she did. He is just a different face of the same plate full of muck. He is, however, a different entity and that is all that seems to be really required by the lefty voters. Image is everything and he hasn't slapped any cops (yet) and he did show up for the pre-election debates. Poof! You're elected! Who needs substance or direction when you are a Liberal?
Meanwhile, up in Connect-'em-up, the Party of Surrender has beheaded the guy who sat dutifully by Algore in their determined march towards defeat just six short years ago. He was endorsed and extolled as the 'tough' example of the Democratic wingers... the man they all affirmed to take over Al's footsteps in the event of a Presidential catastrophe. Man, this is a GREAT day!
Lieberman is LIBERAL to the core, except he believes that we ought to kill terrorists who want to kill us. Well, that's just not good enough for those "let's all hold hands and hug" Peaceniks. No, Sir... sounds too much like a Republican to them. We now have another golden example of where the party faithful's hearts and minds truly lie... Well, they don't actually lie. You can't run away or wave a white flag while lying down. Now old Joe must leave the party and run as an Independant to have a shot at remaining in his state's Senatorial seat. The icing on this eastern version West Coast Cake will be if he LOSES come November. I like it when the Libs show us where their importance is placed. Running away is a great cardiac workout.
I have faith that the rest of American voters will clearly see this as the defining moment. This is GOOD for Republicans. The people figured it out in 2000, again in 2004 and those same voters will be paying attention this year as well. Conservative views and values do not flip flop, nor do the people who espouse them. The "Progressive" rhetoric will be loud as always, but the truth will speak louder. Every time the Jihadis make another move against freedom and liberty, people will consider the 'facts of Democratic acts'.
Where are the Democrats really turning? Left, center, or....

Do you remember those Christian Children's Fund commercials that were on tv while we were growing up? With the adorable yet heartbreaking children, and the "For only 'x' amount per day, you can give 'insert name here' hope"? I do, vividly. I grew up wanting to take part, and can proudly say that we do. For over a year now we've been sponsoring a girl in Uganda, named Christine. I've also had the feeling for a while that we should add another. It's easy to think that we don't have the money, but the simple fact is, we do. The cost of sponsoring one more child would only add the same amount it takes for our family of 6 to eat one meal at McDonald's. When faced with that logic, it becomes clear what the right thing to do is. So last night, we added a little boy from Ethiopia.
It was so heartbreaking to choose just one child. There are *so* many. I wanted to sponsor them all. I had to just choose one that spoke to me, and say a silent apology in my head to all the others. Then my dad linked me to a few blog posts about what is going on in Afghanistan.
We hear some of what's going on there with the military. Every once in a while there will be a snippet on the news about their government or what have you. However, there isn't quite as much press about the other things going on. Did you know that Afghanistan has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world? It is due to lack of medical care for pregnant women. Most give birth at home, alone, never seeing a doctor or having any kind of help, and the baby dies. And often, the mother dies too. Their maternal death rate is also one of the highest in the world. There are people doing something about it. There is a fund set up, and $65 pays for prenatal and post natal care for one woman.
That kind of rocked me a little bit. $65, and a mother and baby have medical care and will live. We will definitely be coming up with that money. Yet once again, I wish we could do more. I wish we had a million dollars to give, because I think about how many mothers and babies that could help.
It's just the tip of the iceberg. So many people out there needing help, and we only have so much to give. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by all of it.
So, here is where I am going to turn to you, internets. I can't do more. But you out there, maybe you can. Maybe you've always thought of sponsoring a child, but have never gotten around to actually doing it. There is no time like the present. For Christmas, some child out there could get the gift of hope, from you. (yes, I am fully aware of the cheesiness I am sliding into. I don't care though.) Maybe you already sponsor a child. Look deep and see if you could add another.
Maybe you can't commit to a monthly thing, but you could do a one time thing. There's a lot of ways to do it. There's organizations like heifer.org, and there's Kiva, which is linked in my sidebar. (One thing I like about Kiva is that it's a loan. Once the amount is repaid, you can recycle it and loan it to someone else, ad infinitum.) Maybe you feel more led to help closer to home. Local food banks are always in need of donations. There is always something out there that needs your help.
There. There is my challenge to you as the holidays are speeding towards us. My challenge is to give. Then drop me a line and tell me how you've done it, and I'll set up a little honor roll or something for those that have met the challenge.
And. . . .go!

It sucks not being rich

I'm not sure what all we are doing this year. We normally do Operation Christmas Child (shoeboxes) but I totally flaked on the deadline this year. We always do 2-3 starts off the star tree as soon as they get put out at church and this year we are giving time too (we are working in a soup kitchen on Christmas Day).

House Tours
A Waterfront Cottage on the Banks of Hewletts Creek
Step inside a one-bedroom waterfront cottage tucked into the Hewlett's Creek watershed.
Kat and Josh spent the summer taking on one of the final tasks in their home renovation—the backyard and porch. From new fencing to uprooting plants to DIY door repurposing, the couple tackled the entire project themselves.
Now, their back porch is the perfect stage for hosting friends and family—a warm bowl of chili on a cool evening is a favorite in their home.
As told by Kat
I have to be honest, when we moved into the house the yard and back patio were absolutely beautiful! The previous owners had incredibly green thumbs, and we don't. We've actually spent most all of our time the past several years updating and renovating the inside of the home little by little, so the outside was put on the back burner (and it really showed). Since we've almost finished updating the inside, we finally got serious about showing some love to the back patio and yard!
Several weekends during the spring and summer.
I spend way too much time on Pinterest, so I've been pinning like crazy over the past year on my Lawn and Garden Lovin' board! I'm incredibly visual, so sometimes I would just stand in the backyard and look at the porch to get an idea of furniture placement and such. I'm sure the neighbors think I'm crazy.
World Market meets Magnolia Market…I feel like I'm somewhere in between! That specific style didn't show as much on the back porch, but I feel like our kitchen and living room really reflect my aesthetic.
Being out there in the fall when the bugs are far away and doing whatever it is that bugs do in the fall. The mosquitos have been brutal this year! I can't wait to get out there for dinners and drinks with friends and family. We love entertaining, and even when things looked rough out there last fall, we still had a blast eating chili on the porch. This year we're looking forward to having a really inviting space that we don't have to apologize for!
We did everything ourselves. From building the ugliest fence-within-a-fence you ever saw to demolishing it three years later in the sweltering heat so we could finally have our yard back. Why did we build this ridiculous fence? Our mischievous Corgi, Hobson, who has incredibly short legs likes to explore places that he shouldn't. It was a nightmare taking that thing down this summer, and I sat down and cried a few times during the process, but I'm so glad we got rid of it. I love looking out the window and seeing what actually sold us on this house six years ago.
After taking down the fence monstrosity, Josh moved to the lattice that was above the already-existing arbor. The previous owners were incredible with Wisteria, and they put lattice on top of the arbor to support the enormous vines that were up there. The Wisteria was absolutely stunning when it bloomed, and we still have some over the arbor outside of our breakfast nook (and it's gorgeous when it blooms each spring), but we had no choice but to cut down everything on the back arbor a few years after we moved in.
For the potting bench, I actually repurposed an old metal outdoor bar that the previous owners left. We hadn't used it for several years, and the screens started to mold while the metal began to rust. I kept threatening to toss it, but after taking a closer look, I realized that the screens were quite easy to pull off! I threw those away and gave it a good cleaning. I grabbed a can of Rustoleum copper paint and got to work. I'm really proud of how it turned out!
They say that fences make good neighbors. We've learned that fences within fences make good neighbors make fun of you.

- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?Yes and no. Since every customer is different with different needs, its difficult to create a set price. One person may want yoga included and another doesn't. I try to work with the client and create a plan that is suitable and fits in with their life and current circumstances.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?My education are as follows: * Bachelor of Science Degree in Counseling Education and minors in Psychology and Sociology from The University of North Texas, 1993 * ****Yoga instructor certified (200 hours) in San Diego, CA, at CorePower Yoga Studios in 2008 ****** Additional intensive education at the Iyengar Yoga Institute, Pune, India, in 2010 *Pranayama education at the Kaivalya Yoga institute in Pune, India 2010 * *****Additional intensive education in Dharma Yoga in Costa Rica, in 2012 *Human health diet and nutrition certification in July, 2014. *****
- How did you get started doing this type of work?It all started when I took a long solo backpacking trip to Central America. I had always been curious about yoga and I began to take classes to create a calm centered and strong body and mind to face what was then the unknown, and I was a little bit scared! After I fell in love with Costa Rica, I began to have dreams about someday owning a yoga retreat. Several years later I finally found a program I like and the rest is history :)

About the classes:
Hello! My name is AJ Waltz I am the owner/photographer here at Waltz Photography LLC. This will be my third time teach these classes with the other 2 going over with much success! I have been doing professional photography for several years now. I primarily shoot corporate, High School Seniors and Weddings, however i also do whatever comes my way! I am mainly self-taught through many hours of trial and error plus lots of research. Through these classes I will be teaching you a little of what I have learned to help you learn more about this great art! I hope to see you in class!
"The Let's Get Started"
This class is intended for someone who just got a new camera and needs a walk through. In this one day class we will meet at the studio and go through menu and modes of the camera. You will learn when and why to use each mode. After the overview of the cameras we do some shooting with them a see the difference in the modes. Then you'll be tested through different mock situations! After and during the class you may ask any question you may have over your camera!
"Say 'No' to Auto"
In this class learn what the camera is thinking and hour to tell it to see what you are seeing. Sometimes the camera gets what we see wrong and there is nothing more irritating then getting that perfect shot then looking at it just to find the camera didn't get what you saw! You'll get learn how to tell the camera what to do and how to shoot putting you in charge of the image and not the camera. The first class will take place in our studio and will be more class room style when we go over all the vocabulary and techniques. The 2 classes fallowing will be all hands on classes. We go over shooting on priority, aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual. After each class you will have a home work assignment going over what was taught. These are short fast and fun assignments and things you can do around your house!
"Light it Right"
This class is meant for the person who wants to learn how to take their photography to the next level and build a strong base to learn more! This class is all hands on and builds off the "Say 'No' to Auto". The first week we will go over how to use reflector and you will get to make your vary own! Plus we will go over nature lighting and where to place a subject for best lighting. The 2nd week we will go over constant lighting. Then you will get to go home and make a at home studio for $10* from walmart using everyday items! Then the 3rd week will be flashes/review!
