Last week Nature Boy (AKA Honey) brought home a hobo pot full of birch bark chits he manufactures for "talking tickets" at campfire sessions at work The Institute for Outdoor Education and Environmental Studies). Kids get to say what they liked the best about their experience and throw their talking ticket into the fire, they send their positive experiences and thoughts up to the Great Spirit. He said to see what I could do with them.
After thinking about this battered and blackened pot a full of birch bark for over a week,I finally thought of what to do ! Then I had to think of HOW to do it !
Believe it or not I saw my EXACT idea downtown with many refinements at a great store called Home By Design, it is unbelievable a store exists like this in Wiarton. SWANK !
That did not deter me at all at making my "rough " version.
First Nature Boy constructed a cardboard cone for me, thank goodness as my brain doesn't really work that way too well. I can do it but he can DO it faster and better. We covered it with paper and I tried to use a couple of adhering technologies and finally gave in and used the glue gun. Well.... it worked and very effectively.
Not sure what to do at the top we hit upon this solution and it suits us very well.
Things I might do differently ? I like the way the upper "branches" stick out. I would plump out the bottom layer by first applying a row of round tooth picks or using birch bark that was curling outward naturally. Some of the bark was very thick, I would peel these into layers.
I love the look of the birch!
Thank you so much for all your comments, I found them wonderfully encouraging, I hope they continue !

The tree looks great, but I'm still fascinated by the 'talking tickets' concept - that's bloody brilliant on multiple levels! Kids must love it!ReplyDelete
I like this one much better than the one in the store. Looks like it needs a friend!ReplyDelete
Hmmmm, now this has me thinking....stryofoam cone, push pins and wool....think it would work?ReplyDelete
Tammy I sure beileve it would, wouldn't it be pretty to use rows of different coloured tweeds and textures ? Maybe a good way to use up samples from Rebecca Erb... Now you got me thinking.ReplyDelete

I found this great short film called Palindromo, telling the story of a man who has lost everything. The neat part about the film is that it's shown in reverse, so throughout the film you piece together the backwards dialogue. Great film.
The second film: La Paradoja de Arrow takes its' name from the Arrow Paradox, or Arrow Impossibility Theorem Demonstrated by Kenneth Arrow. Understanding the Arrow Paradox is a very involved process which took me the better part of an hour to get the basics. You can read about the Arrow Paradox here. The film itself is a visual play on this theory through downright beautiful cinematography and seamless graphic effects. I feel as though I can relate to the film, especially the intro, as it is a telling take on day-to-day life. Pay very close attention to the seemingly innate details spliced in, each one evoked familiar feelings for me.
Two short films

Turkey Week
Thanksgiving is a time where loved ones come together to remember the amicable feast hosted by the Pilgrims, shortly before they all but wiped out the native population of Eastern North America. Having the last 5 days off from classes stretched time out into a strange but entertaining collection of experiences with friends and family.
When: Tuesday night.
Where: Syracuse, NY
Two friends call me up in search of some fresh herbal supplements In the early evening. I am of no help to them, but instead ask to join the search in hopes of adventure, and maybe even finding a little shrubbery for myself.
Our Journey begins with a quick safety discussion in the parking lot of a local ski hill. Switchboard then lights up with a frenzy of calls to help us find our way into the forest. Failed phone calls abound, a lucrative whim finds it's mark, and we are on our way to the Bro-levards of Syracuse University. Warm weather and torn overleaves cannot stomp the spirit of the night, and everyone goes their way happy.
When: Wednesday afternoon.
Where: Toggenburg Mountain Ski Center
I meet up with the Mcginnis brothers, Matthew and Michael, for a quick brief on this year's terrain park. We are antsy throughout the meeting, as voluptuous piles of man-made snow lie a mere twenty feet (6.096 meters) from our current location, inside the lodge. The meeting is done! Quick half hour drive to pick up a pair of skis, and we're back. Always the visionary, Matt transforms one snow mound into an undervert quarter pipe, with a steep landing down the reverse. Velocity check after velocity check shows us that speed is what we need. After finally getting that speed dialed, the session is on! the first spins of the season are spun and the first grabs, grabbed. Off axis rotations find their way into the mix, some intentional whilst others not. I am eventually put out of action by a tragic case of whiplash on a failed switch landing, and forced to retreat home in time for dinner...but before I left, I decided to randomly yell "visit matt's site an& buy his clothes at an& Clothing"
When: Wednesday night.
Where: China Road oriental cuisine, Mattydale, NY.
The owner of China Road, Simon Teng is standing next to the table where I am joined by my brother and parents. "Who ordered the Pig Intestines", asks Teng, a former proprietor of several very successful chic NYC Chinese food joints. My family turns their amused stares my way, as I announce with appropriate brevity, "IT WAS I". Most patrons are now craning and straining to see the poor fool who must have clearly misread the menu. I maintain my steely reserve (lame 40oz reference?) and shake Simon's hand while he explains that I am the first to have ordered such a delicacy in months. After many greasy noodles, green tea, and several bouts with an unidentified pepper that was basically hot as SHIT, my (or rather the pig's) intestines arrive.
A small army of oriental chefs deliver the intestines in several components, first a small sterno stove, next a bowl and stack of napkins, and finally a steaming hot saucer of what the menu had led me to believe were pig intestines. Said chefs stand back and join the owner in watching me cash in my pig-intestine v-card. The intestines themselves were small rubbery pink chunks of what I had always imagined intestines to be like (not that I had ever lent much thought to the texture and consistency of intestines before). I finally indulge myself and to my delightful surprise, pig intestines are downright tasty. I eat everything on my plate and also steal from my family's plates while they aren't looking. Stealing is too fun not to do all the time.
When: Thanksgiving; all day
Where: The fiery kitchens of hell
Giving thanks for what? Not getting to spend the day with my family? That was Beat

Vitamin Water
What if vitamin water didn't have a narrative about the name on the back. Suppose it was sold in a rusty tin can. Would it taste as delicious?

Unquestionably THE most misconstrued plant on the face of the earth. What motivates people to see herb as a destroyer? I was recently met with criticism over a research paper I am writing on the social effects of decriminalization of Cannabis. My opponent was significantly less open minded and unbiased than myself. Her use of circular logic was frustrating, and eventually I gave up fighting my point and let her walk away smug with what she saw as a victory. The backbone of her argument was that Cannabis is illegal. This point holds no merit whatsoever, and I refrenced how only a few hundred years ago, Heliocentric theory was also considered criminal. Her reaction proved that history only repeats itself. I am a firm believer that when the world is ready to accept Cannabis for the versatile plant it is, it will take a place in history among other controversial ideas. This belief is already mostly true, as a large portion of the world smokes or ingests Cannabis in some way, shape or form.
The people who can't see Ganga in this way have become unapproachable to me. There is so much of the world that they are ignoring and refusing to subscribe to, simply because they believe the lies they are fed. I enjoy provoking these types into talking about weed, and most become very uncomfortable in talking with someone who "does drugs". Through my discussions I have realized that since Cannabis is classically referred to as a drug, many opponents of the plant view users as though they have a problem. Cannabis is neither habit forming, nor has it ever proven to be harmful to the body. The studies whose results provided the "brain damage claims" consisted of giving rhesus monkeys the equivalent of several pounds of marijuana at once through a gas mask. The brain damage reported was not from THC, but rather from the smothering effect of only being able to breathe smoke. Please, before you hate, think long and hard about what you are hating on, and if one day you will go down in history as an idiot who fought in court to protect the notion that the Earth was the center of the universe...
A little side note, I try to refrain from using the term Marijuana as it was the name given to the plant by the Government during the criminalization process..

Ski season has arrived!
Ski season begins! After a copious snowfall last night. Today I met up with some friends from Ithaca to find some handrailage. After checking out a few spots, our lack of a drop-in led us to a 60ish foot down rail on the left of 36 wooden stairs. Before setting up the rail we sessioned a knoll packed into a butter pad by some local sledders. After that got old, we moved over to the rail and the session was on. We were situated on a hill over looking Syracuse and the weather created a surreal backdrop. It was sunny over the rail for most of the day, while black snow squalls rolled by in the distance over the City. One of my buddies from Ithaca, Chris, did the most unbelievable thing I have ever seen on a rail anywhere; wait for the footage, it will blow your mind. Another kid from Ithaca named Alex cleaned the rail without moving a muscle, and then came super close to a frontside 270. I ended up with a frontside 270 out but had to quit after catching a ski under the rail and taking a stair to the mouth. My camera batteries were dead but Alex and Chris were taking pictures all day so I should have some shots at some point. Day 1 of the 2008/2009 ski season was a monster success.

I've been toying with the idea of making a blog for a while now, and I finally got the time to get one going. It's not the first blog I have made, but with each attempt, I always get stuck with what to post first. I'm not too sure what the purpose, if any, of this blog is, so I'm going to be taking it one step at a time. So for my first post, I'll let music do the talking. Simply put, this song bangs.

I love finding new smoothie recipes. This one is like a strawberry milkshake (at least in my mind) and I knew it was worth sharing.
Here's what you'll need (give or take - I usually eyeball the ingredients).
1 cup almond milk (I use Almond Breeze)
4 or 5 large frozen strawberries (I like to use frozen fruit, because it gives it that milkshake-like quality)
1 frozen banana
1/4 cup cashews (you could also substitute it with almond butter or sunflower butter - I've done both)
2 or 3 dates (depending on how sweet you like it)
1/4 cup oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon
A dash of vanilla
Blend and enjoy! It's the perfect sweet and refreshing treat.

Family game drives can be arranged to have a break near the Grumeti River while out on a full day excursion.

The safari vehicles can carry refreshments onboard, and the lodge staff may even prepare a picnic basket for the family. Meals can also be prepared for those who want to go on a day-long drive on their Serengeti tour.
Being a culturally rich place, the Serengeti Serena Lodge also offers other activities that can be enjoyed.

This magnificent aerial Serengeti trip will allow you to view the plains and its residents from an unobtrusive location. Ride on a Serengeti balloon and witness the mating, grazing and simple life led by the animals. You can even dip lower and see the hippos resting in the waters. Breakfast is cooked in the bush for awaited guests who are on their last flight leg of admiration of the majestic landscape and stunning beauty created by nature and shaped by the elements through time.

At home and abroad, the world is a fascinating place, a beautiful and exciting place, and I share my wonder and pleasure in travel on my blog--through experiences, photos, and books.
Natural Bridge, Virginia located in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley is a 215 foot high opening carved by water through the limestone mountain. A young George Washington was hired to survey this area and left his initials, G.W. carved in the arch 23 feet up. The surrounding land, including Natural Bridge, was once owned by Thomas Jefferson.

I've got my poster. John Dewey was a philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer. He was ahead of his time and it is probably only now we are beginning to understand what he meant because we can actually make the choice on the poster I have chosen. We can choose to use methods which served the last millennium well or we can look to this new millennium and understand it needs a different set of tools and techniques. We can work in partnership with our students. We are not the sole author of our classroom and we need to be flexible enough to test out what is new to see what educational benefit there is. The world is changing rapidly. We cannot keep up with it but we don't have to. We are teachers. We have classes of 30 students who will work with us quite willingly to explore the possibilities. We are still in charge and the leader of the group and we still need to make sound decisions and judgements with regard to materials and tools but we can work with our classes to see what is best practice and what options there are. I had my year 9s doing dialogues on the iPads. One of my students was typing up what the pair needed and the other was helping her by checking and looking up words…but she also had this beautiful graphic design going in one of the paint apps. Should I have said she shouldn't? It was so creative. She learned how to get an image from the iPad to my laptop after the lesson was finished because it really was a lovely image. If you want a poster to make you think , go to Poster-Street. E-posters seem to be very popular at the moment. They are popping up on Facebook all the time. It tends to suggest it is currently our favoured way of communicating important beliefs. Is it a case of the medium is the message? Use it to your advantage in your classroom.

Pentagon: Navy Ready to Help Iranian-Held Ship
U.S. Navy ships holding fast in the Strait of Hormuz; Iran continues to hold commercial ship
Defense Department officials say that they've been given no clear explanation as to why Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps boats have harassed commercial ships in two separate incidents in the Strait of Hormuz over the past week.
"The Iranians have given several different and differing reasons for their actions," Defense Department spokesman Col. Steve Warren said on Wednesday. "They've said it was some sort of security inspection, later they said there was some economic reasons. The Iranians have not been clear on why they have done this."
On Tuesday, the USS Farragut responded to a distress call from the Marshall Island-flagged Maersk Tigris after it was surround by several Iranian craft, one of which fired across its bow and forced it deeper into Iranian waters without explanation.
The Maersk remains in Iranian custody, and is currently at rest near Larak Island. The shipping company said on Wednesday morning that the 24 crew members were all safe and accounted for, and the company was working to secure the release of the ship.
A similar but less serious incident occurred on April 24 when four Iranian vessels encircled and harassed the U.S.-flagged Maersk Kensington while it was sailing in international waters in the southern part of the Arabian Gulf.
Warren said that the Kensington incident lasted for approximately 15 to 20 minutes before the Iranian vessels sailed off.
While the Farragut has not entered Iranian waters, the ship — along with three newly-arrived U.S. Navy patrol craft, the USS Firebolt, USS Thunderbolt, USS Typhoon, along with surveillance planes — have moved nearby to continue "keeping an eye on things," and "will be able to respond if a response is required," Warren said.
The United States has a security compact with the Marshall Islands on defense issues, and on Wednesday State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf confirmed that the U.S. "has full authority and responsibility of security matters" when it comes to the Marshall Islands, to include their shipping assets. She added while the country has asked for American assistance she is unaware of the details of the request, though the U.S. government is still determining "the best steps forward."

Facebook confirmed that its CEO will testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on the Cambridge Analytica data leak.
Mark Zuckerberg is officially headed to Capitol Hill to testify before Congress on the Cambridge Analytica data leak.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee has announced that Facebook's CEO will testify one week from today, on Wednesday, April 11 about "the company's use and protection of user data" following the revelation that 50 million Facebook users had their data leaked to the political consultancy Cambridge Analytica, which assisted Donald Trump's campaign in the 2016 election.
"This hearing will be an important opportunity to shed light on critical consumer data privacy issues and help all Americans better understand what happens to their personal information online," Committee Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) and Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) said in a statement. "We appreciate Mr. Zuckerberg's willingness to testify before the committee, and we look forward to him answering our questions on April 11."
In a statement to PCMag, a Facebook spokesperson confirmed the Energy and Commerce Committee's announcement and said that "conversations with the other committees continue." US lawmakers have asked Facebook's CEO to testify before at least three Congressional committees.
Last week, CNN reported that Zuckerberg had "come to terms with the fact that he will have to testify before Congress" and had started planning for it. During a media blitz late last month, Zuckerberg said he was open to testifying, but also suggested someone from his legal team might be better suited to appear.
"If…I am the most informed person at Facebook in the best position to testify, I will happily do that," he said.
Meanwhile, Facebook recently turned down a request for its CEO to appear before a UK parliament committee on the same issue. The company instead decided to make two senior executives available for the hearing.

While I cleaned the dishes, I would remind myself of my clever little ideas and tell myself that as soon as the last dish was put away, I would dutifully obey my heart's inclination to dash off a few sentences. That way, I said to myself, I would be sure to remember all of my fantastic pieces of creative genius. And then...every single time.....I would forget. I would move on to organizing Barbie clothes, and wondering why we had more Barbies than clothes.
Yesterday as I waited in the pick-up line at Moira's school, I pulled out the tiny notebook and pen that I keep in my carry-on suitcase-sized purse. I put the pen in my mouth, and willed my teeth to bite through the mental fog and get my thoughts moving! I jotted down a few thoughts about rising and baking bread (it will make sense in the future) and political rants (if I can control my bitter barbs at hearing the word maverick 873 times) and various holiday-themed musings.
Last night as I talked to my sister, I had some additional ideas. In fact, veritable fireworks of unprecedented genius were going off in my head. I was so busy being genius that I neglected to do what any good author must. I didn't write it down. Had I learned nothing from my weekend of so-called productivity?
Because we must find fulfillment in life somewhere, somehow, I find mine in how good of a parent/spouse hybrid I am and how well I write. This is not the sum of my life, but if I have something cooking in my mind's burner, just waiting to tantalize the minds of others...and if I get a break from being That Mom who is still trying to brush her kids' hair as they are walking into the classroom...this puts my oft' troubled heart at ease. But in my collected moments of forgetfulness, I was raging. How dare I defy the laws of writing? What good am I if I can't even remember the things I'm trying to remember? And when this morning's routine went smoothly because I played Super Spouse and gathered and packed everything my kids could possibly need for their day at school...I wasn't fulfilled.
I was intent on today's purpose: I.WOULD.WRITE.
I would be informative and witty and insightful and meaningful. Yes, today I would veer slightly back from whence I had strayed. I did a good job of taking care of the family this weekend; now it was time to take care of me.
So I arrived at work, made a somewhat passable ponytail from Sabra's scraggly fro-hair (she really is my kid) ate both of my afternoon apples in the span of an hour, dropped Sabra off, and pulled up the computer. Ahhh, yes. Time to write.
But I really don't want to talk about how much Palin makes my skin crawl. I don't want to think about deep and meaningful things today, and I'm not necessarily in the mood to write something witty.
But as my days are measured by how much I have written or how many loads of laundry I've done, it is necessary for me to write in order to ignore my laundry whence I return home at the close of this day.
So, without further ado...I bring to you the Most Important Thing that has happened to me today. Philosophy, My Uber Favorite company for All Things Good, has released their first wave of holiday-themed products.
Who doesn't love a caramel apple? Especially when there is no need for ungunking your teeth? I think that if I had this, I would eat less. So maybe the expense would be justified. I could pay for this lovely, cheery red bottle of love from my grocery budget.
You know that I'm a compulsive bulimia shopper. That is, I put stuff in my online/real cart and carry it around until at the last minute I put it all back. It produces a high that while not akin to real shopping, is yet enough to make me feel better. When I got my invitation to view the lovely world of expensive bath products, I knew that I would be engaging in shop vomit. And I did. I filled my cart with $120 worth of shower gel. And then, sadly, I clicked the little red 'x' at the top right corner of the window.
And then you would agree that dishes and sock pairing are not valid reasons for my lack of blog material. No, those things can always wait. But pumpkin spice muffin shower gel...well, that only comes around once a year.
And this new beast, this unicorn of bath products, this vision of all that is pure and good and quiet and soft and cool and lightly sweet...well, something that special only comes around once in a lifetime.
And what have I to say that can compare with that?
Surely not 'maverick', as that has been done. And done. And done. And done. And done. Alaska.
In light of my fluffy little blog, I urge you to take a break from being productive. Sure, you can read about the economic crisis and the latest quote containing the words 'bulldog' and 'hockey mom'. But do you really need another reason to be anxious? Do you need a reason to lose your creative ideas? Sure, go educate yourself. Pay your bills and DO NOT sit your children in front of the television while you cry in the bathroom about how your life is not how you thought it would be. But when you're done checking things off your list, you'll need a happy thought. And when you do...you will remember my wise words.
I hope you will heed them.
And more importantly, I hope you share with me. I won't snort it this time. I swear.

Where: Granada Avenue, North Park, San Diego
When: May 2, 2006
Notes: I love the wording on that sign on the wall. It's a classic out of another time. Unfortunately, they've replaced the sign with a generic red-and-white version that just says "The Famous Stern's Gym." Sad.
Too big? There's a smaller version at flickr.

My son is away at a pre-college summer session so I have been rearranging the house. This also includes my studio.
I can home frustrated the other day and as my studio was in total disarray I took my art out on my car. I had been itching to do it for a while now anyway.
I still have more work to do - the rear end and the roof. I also need to wear a respirator -even outside. Holy paint fumes!

This is going to be a follow up on my last post. Hurting people. It's a big deal. We all do it. We all do it A LOT.
Here's something that a lot of us often forget: even if we don't mean to hurt someone, even if we don't know we're hurting someone, it's still not okay. I understand that our actions which cause pain aren't always intentional. But if someone does get hurt, maybe we should have acted differently.
I think a lot of us need to be more observant of the world around us. Rather than rushing around only worrying about ourselves and what's happening in our lives, we should slow down and be aware of the people around us. Our careless actions can easily hurt someone else if we aren't careful. We can be doing exactly what we think we're supposed to be doing, but if our choices impact other people, it is so easy to unintentionally hurt them.
Hurt can come in so many shapes and sizes. Including small things, like an off-handed comment about a bad hair day, jumping into someone's place in a group, taking someone's regularly appointed seat, anything really.
It's hard to apologize if you feel like you've done nothing wrong. Even harder if you don't know what it was that offended the other person. But maybe it is important that we do apologize for these things. Because maybe it's the best way of showing God's love for the world. If we can't own up for our actions, what kind of witness can we be?
I love sarcasm, but I have a variety of new people in my life that don't seem to pick up on it quickly. I've learned that I need to tone it down around them, because my words can easily be misinterpreted.
When somebody in your life is hurting, be careful with them. People are fragile. The things you say and do can have a lasting effect on them. True friends should be there in a time of need. They shouldn't force those who are hurting to be a certain way or act a certain way. We need to be aware of what the people in our lives are going through.
Tred lightly. A person's life can resemble broken glass. We don't want to crush the fragments. We should be there to pick them up and fuse them together.

For Breakfast: Coffee.
I went to the market today and was so impressed with all the plants. All organic all grown here! I immediately went to Lowes and got myself a large planter and some organic potting soil, then went back to the market and picked out my herbs for my herb garden. Chives, oregano, thyme, basil, and italian parsley. It was pretty simple to do, now I just need to make sure I don't kill them!!!
For Lunch: Two poached eggs with roasted bell peppers, spinach, a slice of ham and pesto on an English Muffin. with a cup of fresh fruit. (I went to 'breakfast' with a friend at 14 Carrot Cafe)
I went to work tonight, I didn't start until six. It was pretty busy, I made decent money. After work Cassi and I came home and went to bed. I had a bowl of cereal for dinner. I didn't have the energy to do much more.
For Dinner: Bowl of Raisin Bran with almond milk.

Rating The 22 Finest Small Enterprise Ideas Of 2017
Small companies are in every single place, but just a few even have made it to the highest. Opening a brewery is sort of costly compared to above mentioned business concepts. Creating a community of expert professionals to show, train and information college students and adults in numerous fields is a reliable and standard alternative of business at a small scale that can increase additional time.
You can literally begin these business ideas in India with a minimal funds of as little as ₹5,000 depending on the sector you select. EatWith is a great way to check the waters as a chef for your side hustle enterprise idea, and if you have sufficient rave evaluations you might be capable of flip your knife skills right into a full-time business.
Rieva Lesonsky is CEO of GrowBiz Media, a media and custom content company focusing on small enterprise and entrepreneurship. You can begin this enterprise from house, in case you are looking to begin on a small scale. Therefore, for those who're technically inclined to repair faults in vehicles, then think about to begin an auto repair shop business in 2017.
It is because of this that the men may have buried their heads deep into business. Instacart's business mannequin has proved the assertion more correct and with the revenue Instacart makes every month, a grocery delivery service could be among the finest small enterprise ideas for women.
While Fb Fb is the worldwide leader here, Linkedin took it to a more moderen level because it solely targeted on promoting folks's enterprise and networking through social media. We have now listed all sorts of enterprise ideas like online business ideas, small enterprise ideas with low investments from Rs.10,000 to 1,00,000.

Or is that really the case? I read the article on IHT first thing this morning before I headed out for my day. My day was all about catching up with the "soldes" or sales that go on here in Paris during the month of July. I hadn't taken part yet and was curious to see if anything was left. To my surprise, there were still many good deals to be had. Like the purchase that was food for this post.
Shoes are my weakness. Show me a great pair of shoes, full price or on sale and I'll live on lettuce and crackers for awhile to balance things out. Today was no exception only it was "soldes". Guilt was on a tiny holiday. I found a pair of shoes that were perfect with what I was wearing, felt like slippers on my feet and pretty much had to come home with me. I liked them so much that I put my well worn sandals I was wearing in the box leaving the store fully aware that band-aids would be in my future. Didn't matter.
About 40 minutes later in another shop, a beautifully dressed woman gently touched my arm, leaned way into my personal space (which is very weird here) and in a barely audible, indoor voice that was speaking rapid fire French asked me where I got my shoes as they were "fabulous". My brain at that moment was a tiny bit overwhelmed taking in numerous things that needed to be processed....rapid fire French, where was I going to find a quiet indoor voice to respond as that isn't something I possess, do I tell her where I really got the shoes and was floored by the fact that a French woman was asking another woman (who she mistook for French) where she got something. It was too much! Slowly, I found what I felt was a conspiratorial whisper and told her I got them at Bata just down the street. Bata is the equivalent of Payless in the states. The look on her face was priceless. Was it shock, horror, disbelief? Hard to tell. She broke out in a huge smile and told me that just made them even more fabulous.
I walked away feeling totally complimented. The best part was knowing I had just pulled a very heavy curtain aside to get a look into the complicated, wiley ways of a French woman. It felt good.
See for yourself what I'm talking about.

The study, titled "Could Consumption of Insects, Cultured Meat or Imitation Meat Reduce Global Agricultural Land Use?," was published on April 22 in the journal Global Food Security. The researchers, all of whom come from Europe or Australia, wrote in their abstract, "Animal products, . meat, milk and eggs, provide an important component in global diets, but livestock dominate agricultural land use by area and are a major source of greenhouse gases. Cultural and personal associations with animal product consumption create barriers to moderating consumption, and hence reduced environmental impacts."

The UK Supreme court has decided to unfreeze terrorist's money.
Here is an extract from an article in the Telegraph
In one of its first decisions, our new Supreme Court has decided to lend a helping hand to terrorism. It did so via an under-reported judgment, issued last week, which torpedoed the Government's policy of freezing terrorists' assets.
That policy was the result of implementing UN Security Council Resolutions. No one doubts that one of the best ways of combating terrorism is to make it as difficult as possible for terrorists to get the funds they need to commit mass murder. That's why the Security Council, in the wake of the US embassy bombings in Africa in 1998, and again after September 11, asked all member states to freeze the assets of groups and individuals it identified as being involved in terrorism.
So in their infinite wisdom they are going to give terrorists their money back.
The United Nations, a world body, has asked countries to freeze terrorist assets. Yes the UN doesn't get it right all the time, but cutting the cash flow to terrorists is a good idea.
Another extract;
It is impossible to understand why their lordships think that such a consideration should take precedence over diminishing a clear and present danger to national security. They know what terrorism involves: scores or even hundreds of people injured or killed by bombs meant to murder as many innocents as possible
It has been said before by many people, but i will say it again. Judges need to live in the real world once in a while and find out what real life is about and how, we, the normal people of this country live.
If terrorists get their money and a terrorist incident happens, god forbid, the judges will have blood on their hands.
What's next for the 'supreme court', invite Bin Laden to lunch?
This decision has to be reversed pretty damn quick.

Nearly 1 million American's are living with Parkinson's disease.
Muhammad Ali has passed away from respiratory problems complicated by advanced Parkinson's. The beloved heavyweight boxing champ was diagnosed with the crippling incurable disease in 1984. His diagnoses was attributed to taking multiple instances of head trauma sustained during his boxing career.
The Associated Press has put together a detailed Q&A of the disease, it's causes and the prognosis that worsen over time.
While Parkinson's itself isn't considered fatal, people can die from complications of the disease.

A Daily Read
Do you read the newspaper?
My parents, as far back as I can remember, always read the newspaper while enjoying their cup of coffee and breakfast banter. Reading specific writers, editorials, obits and horoscopes were staples in my growing up household. Not me, though; I never could get the hang of how to hold the newspaper so my arms wouldn't get tired.
I know newspaper subscriptions are falling to dangerously low levels, at least dangerous for the newspaper companies. I'm sure the writers have found additional venues to feature their skills in addition to their 'day job' at the papers, but I think more and more papers will be nothing more than a memory in the coming decade.
So, do people still have a daily read? If not the newspaper, what? I suspect it's their personalized blog roll.
Anyone who has a blog, or even reads blogs on any kind of regular basis, has a list of favorites they like to peruse each time they have a minute on the Internet. I have a wide variety of blogs I read, from theologians to hobbyists to homeschooling mommies. The Internet features blogs of whatever anyone wants to write about and with blog search features, you can find pretty much anything that interests you.
Oh sure, you can still read the 'newspaper' on the Internet...but are those in my parent's generation replacing the daily paper & coffee with logging onto the Internet? I know my parents are not. I think most people probably get the majority of their news from the television, to be honest, so that also cuts down on the 'need' to read the paper. That just leaves the entertaining part of reading, and again that leads me to blogs. Even in my short time as part of the blogosphere, I have seen a big upswing in the people participating in blogs, both writing and reading.
I really enjoy reading my favorite blogs, and I appreciate those who post on a regular basis. I'm reading, commenting, laughing and pondering right along with them, kind of like a virtual community. The feeling reminds me of watching my parents enjoy their local morning paper, to be honest.

Far North Coast cricket's cream of the crop
ABOUT 50 kids were part of selection trials for the two Far North Coast teams competing in the Lismore Workers Club Under-12 cricket carnival this week.
Far North Coast Gold have a chance to win it for the first time since 2007 and will play at Oakes Oval in an afternoon game when the carnival starts Wednesday.
"The selection process itself was pretty difficult in that we had had 50 kids trialling for 24 spots," FNC Gold coach Grayson Kernaghan said.
"I had to say to the kids that there were more of them that were going to miss out than were going to get in.
"There is a lot of talent in our area and I think these kids can give it a good shake.
"They will need a good start in the opening games and it will all come down to how they bowl and bat.
"Two players from our region are actually playing for Parramatta as well because they were short on numbers."
There will be 20 teams from across New South Wales and South-East Queensland playing a round-robin series of 25, 30 and 40-over games, with the final at Oakes Oval on Saturday.
Australian Test players Josh Hazlewood, Usman Khawaja and David Warner all had their first taste of representative cricket at the Lismore carnival.
Other players to take part in the carnival include Ben Cutting, Peter Forrest, Stephen O'Keefe and the late Phillip Hughes.
Local products Tom Cooper, Simon Milenko and Brendan Drew also played before going on to state cricket.
The Cooper family is still tied up with the carnival, with Tom's mother Berni Cooper taking on the role of co-ordinator in recent years.
Clunes cricketer and former NSW middle-order batsman Matthew Phelps played in the inaugural carnival 33 years ago before returning as a coach with Manly-Warringah in 2015.
Northern Districts won the carnival last year for the first time when they beat Manly in the final.
"There will be at least three or four teams that will be above average," Kernaghan said.
"But I think changing the format with selection this year allowed us to have a better look at our kids.
"Every kid in the (Gold) team has played at least four 40-over games on turf wickets in the lead-up."
Lismore Workers Club and Lismore City Council have been the major sponsors of the event for a number of years, helping make it the biggest Under-12 carnival in Australia.
The carnival always brings additional money to Lismore when a lot of local people are away on Christmas holidays.

We've become increasingly aware of vacation rentals scams over the last year. While RnR Vacation Rentals is booking homes for visitors heading to South Lake Tahoe for a vacation, others are looking to take advantage of unknowing tourists. It's important to take precautionary steps when booking vacation homes , here's how to keep yourself safe.
- Always use a reliable booking engine! We recommend sites like VRBO.com, Homeaway.com, AirBNB.com and of course vacation rental websites like RnRvr.com.
- Be skeptical when using Craigslist. Many times we will see our homes posted on Craigslist, with our images, exact wording, and even website information. Before booking a home through Craigslist always check the company site and make a phone call to be sure!
- Never rely on just email. If at any point in your booking process you need to speak with someone, feel free to pick up the phone and give the homeowners or property managers a call. If it is a legit vacation rental someone will be available to speak with.
- Trust your gut. If anything feels off during your booking process trust your instincts. There is always a chance you are right, and it never hurts to double-check.
- Check all sources. You still feel like something isn't right, but make sure your positive! If you find a home on Craigslist, double-check their website and use the contact information provided there. If the home doesn't have a website, cross-reference 3rd party booking sites like the ones mentioned about. If all else fails go with your gut!
If you ever run across a vacation rentals scam, always be sure to flag the post and help other stay away from fraudulent bookings. If you are able, always let the homeowners know as well.
For more information about booking your next vacation rental with RnR Vacation rentals, give us a call! Our staff is always available to help and answer any questions. 855-998-2463

Target: Francisco Domínguez Brito, Attorney General of the Dominican Republic
Goal: Stop punishing women in the Dominican Republic for seeking abortions.
Women seeking abortions in the Dominican Republic are treated as criminals. They're punished for making a choice in regards to their body and even for acting to save their own lives when pregnancy proves dangerous.
The criminalization of abortion in the Dominican Republic is so severe that the United Nations has stepped in and demanded that criminal punishments be brought to an end. They have also asked that women whose lives are in danger due to pregnancy have access to safe and legal treatment.
Women should not be punished for making a choice about their bodies and health. To do so only threatens them more as they look for dangerous alternatives. Sign the petition and join the United Nations in calling for an end to the criminalization of abortions in the Dominican Republic.
Dear Attorney General Brito,
Women in your country who are endangered by pregnancy and making personal choices about their bodies are being treated like criminals for seeking abortions. Even women who have been raped are not allowed to terminate their pregnancies.
To criminalize abortions robs women of their free will and also endangers their lives by forcing them to seek out black market solutions. I ask that you end the criminalization of abortions and allow women who are in danger of losing their lives safe and easy access to treatment.

"Gangs of Asian youths terrorise pensioners!Diversity, inclusivity and enrichment, eh? Ain't it wonderful? Don't know where to turn, Tony? Voting for those who care about you might help. Not voting for those who care for those who terrorise you might help even more!
Gangs of Asian Youths are tormenting elderly and disabled people in Staincliffe… The yobs hurl abuse at passers-by, spitting racist comments. The gang also makes lewd comments to girls and young women and, on Saturday, mocked a disabled man and threatened to tip him out of his wheelchair. In the past street signs have been pulled down and bins overturned. Cars have also been vandalised.
Police have REPEATEDLY CALLED OUT but residents say NOTHING GETS DONE…
Residents' spokesman Tony Gott, 71, said old people shouldn't have to put up with the abuse… 'People are at the end of their tether and don't know where to turn. No one should have to live their lives in fear like this and when we go out to ask these youths to move on all we get is abuse. They called me a 'fat, white bastard' and the other day I was showered with a pile of bricks'...
We had the police up here the other day and they spoke to this gang but they denied everything and the police said there was nothing they could do...
The cul-de-sac is also a magnet for drug dealers." Gangs of Asian Youths Terrorise Pensioners!
As we speak, New Labour is bringing in more than 1600 foreigners every day, Tony. Why would you vote for those who care more for them than you? Why would you vote for those who would inflict 1600 more potential pensioner-terrorisers and terroriser-breeders on you, and people like you, every day of the year? For ever and ever, Amen.
You know what they say, Tony?
"If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got."And our politicians aim to see that we white types get given more and more and more of it. Until there aren't any more of us left to give it to. Until there aren't any more of us left to complain about it.
If you're an Englishman, Tony, vote for Mr England and those who are on his side.
It's as simple as that.

Now everyone knows I love a good party as much as the next person, but really I am a rank amateur as compared to my medieval forefathers! Oh yeah – those wacky noble knights and damsels knew how to get down! I have been told that my Norman ancestors on my mother's side, the Rogers family came to England in 1066 with William the Conqueror. At first they did quite well, and were in high favor. As such, they must have had to do a certain amount of entertaining. For a good banquet they might have served swan, peacock, wild-boar, stag and of course salmon, along with much wine and ale or mead, since no one in their right mind drank the water.
Alas, once they fell from grace, my now slightly less-than-noble ancestors enjoyed turnips, porridge and bread at their feasts, with the addition of the occasional chicken or rabbit.
And, speaking of entertainment, in the castle there would be bards and jugglers. Hunting parties were often part of the entertainment, and the spoils were served at the banquet. The only hunting parties we have at Chateau Jasperson are the odd sock-hunt…
Nowadays, I go to Costco and they make a feast fit for my merriment, and I do nothing but wheel it out of the store, drive it home, unwrap and serve it and then take the credit for thinking of it! The back yard is often the scene of burgers and brats on the barbie, and the music that blares from the surround-sound is quite often a talented group of 'Guitar Hero' enthusiasts vying for stardom in the livingroom.
When I was writing The Last Good Knight I pictured Billy's Revenge as sort of a rolling party; a place where the fun never stops. The food there is fairly simple but is always delicious: stews and breads mostly; and the music is fabulous. Billy Nine-fingers brews the best ale on the north-south trade road, and he brews enough to keep the party rolling. Huw the Bard is the man with the golden throat who sings like an angel and tells tales that stir the adventurer in everyone. Black hair, and blue-eyed, Huw never saw a woman he didn't love.
And now I am putting together the framework for another book based in Waldeyn; this one featuring Huw and the very early days of Billy's Revenge. I don't have a working title for it yet, but I do have the first chapter put together. love my wild and crazy band of mercenaries. The Rowdies are a crazy mix of nobility and commoners, and they do everything with such style! I am already looking forward to getting started on writing the whole tale; there are some amazing adventures locked up in my head for them!

As a greedy bibliophile, I have planned all year for what to tell my significant other (if I had one), my mother, my father, my siblings, and my friends of what books I would like to be given for this joyous time of year. But, as I have found in the past, I have to create separate this for everyone who is involved or else you end up with the dreaded duplicates. Sometimes this isn't a problem because some people give gift receipts but there are some that do not. And rather than being that person standing at the checkout line demanding store credit because you got this beautiful book three times … I have developed specific lists for specific people. I find the easiest books (recent releases) to give to my friends that never step into a bookstore and save the hidden gems for those who are avid readers like moi. I have found that by creating said lists also increases my chances of getting a ton more lovelies wrapped in a bow under the tree.
So, here's some of the books I am asking for for Christmas.
From brother and his wife:
From sissy:
From the bookworm twins (Liz and Mel):
I know I won't get all of them but I wanted to give everyone options. I'll love whatever I get plus LOOK AT ALL THE GORGEOUS COVERS!! The theme was also to finish off some of the series I've accumulated over the past year but have been too lazy to get the rest. The rest are all books I've been dying to get but have held off because there isn't a Barnes & Noble or Books-a-Million near me. What are you hoping for for Christmas? Any unique books you're requesting?
