We made it to South America. Our month in Quito has welcomed us with friendly smiles and helpful directions into this valley in the Andes.
We´re officially famous now. Read another version of our Panama Canal Transit on Mahina Tiare website, and in the SF based sailing rag Latitude 38. They´re the very nice folks that we tied up to, I think they express a bit better the close calls we had with the walls of the Panama Canal.
We left our little Hebe berthed in Careening Cay Marina for the 9 or so months we´re backpacking through South America. We took a boat, to a boat, to a pickup truck, to a mini-van, to a bus to a plane, to a cab to a hotel that didn´t have room for us. We walked, got lost, took another cab and finally fell asleep. It was a long two days. But we made it! Quito, Ecuador, the land of eternal spring, framed by gorgeous green Andean mountains. Think Sound of Music but much higher up. The weather is beautiful, if a bit cool, the people friendly enough that it almost takes me aback. After the coolness I felt from the Panamanians, an Ecuadorian walking us over to our bus with a smile was a relief.
We´ve started Spanish School, hiked up an old volcano in the Andes called Pasochoa, accepted a volunteer position chasing monkeys for a week and tracking bears in the Andes for six weeks in August and watched a lot of futball in the World Cup. When Ecuador won their first game the city of Quito erupted into celebration. Buses packed with people and a full band were driving around town.
We met up with Bill from our buddy boat Que Onda. He sailed to Ecuador from Panama, and came up to Quito to hang. His was a twelve day passage to weather (meaning against the wind and waves, with the boat tipped to 20+ degrees) and a happy landing in Bahia Caracas. Keeping at least a hundred miles offshore of Columbia is an important part of his passage too.
We also met up with my sister Alisa too! So good to see her after almost a half a year. She´s been here about 2 weeks so far, we´ve been to the equator (both the fake one with the big monument, and the real one), the hot springs in the cloud forest of Papallacta, horseback riding high up in the mountains, and to Baños for more horseback riding and a night of watching and listening to a volcano erupt. We´re all back in Quito now for another week of Spanish school before she (sniff sniff) leaves to return to the states.
Papallacta was great. Two days soaking in this fancy resorts´ natural hotsprings that ranges from scalding to freezing cold. It´s all set up right next to a freezing river that you can lay down in, and just up the valley starts a great trail along the same river with loads of orchids and bromiliads. I saw two orchids in bloom! A great hike, fresh trout (for breakfast, lunch and dinner), and a room with a fantastic view rounded it all out.
Then we went horseback riding for two days and a night with Alísa´s spanish teacher and cowboy. That´s been our favorite thing so far. Two days spent high up in the mountains, across grassy plains, galloping across fields of wildflowers, a night in a cabin, trotting through a herd of sheeps and saying hi to the shepards. It was amazing, like out of a dream. Unfortunately I fell off my horse at a full gallop across one of those gorgeous flower-filled fields and rolled under her back hoofs. Bill, who witnessed it claimed I should be a stunt woman for the drop and roll I executed. :-) I have no cool injuries to show for it unfortunately, as the horse´s hoof just barely kissed my ear and head. We also had the adrenaline rush of putting out two different fires on the roof of the kitchen cabin as we cooked. I´m proud to say I was not cooking. The roof is old, dry thatch, and wow it burns. We all thought of different things to do first, and it ended up surprisingly well. Bill saved the day by getting the propane tank and stove out from the cabin and into the field.
The state department apparently recommends that we shouldn´t go to Baños, as the volcano is erupting almost continuously. After I finally saw and heard it the second night we were in Baños, I couldn´t agree more. We left the next day. It was very dramatic though, I went at night and the red lava was shooting up hundreds of feet in the air. The rumble sounded like a thunderstorm almost on top of us. We went for a horseback ride in the surrounding mountains, just for the day this time, at stopped at some cascades. Pretty setting for a town, but a bit too touristy for my taste.

Indonesia is a large country with a lot of great destinations. In this case, one of the great places to explore is the area of East Indonesia. Exotic nature is offered for the tourists and there will be no disappointment for choosing East Indonesia as the destination. Of course, having a holiday will not be complete if you do not buy souvenirs or merchandises. For this point, there is Makassar as the destination. This is port city in Sulawesi. This is also the biggest city in east Indonesia. There are many kinds of things to do, and one of the best is to go shopping. This place has been famous as the right town to find Makassar gold silks, and pearls souvenirs. The souvenirs are mostly made from those materials, so they are not only about jewelry, but they become great material for making exotic handicraft. For shopping the souvenirs or merchandises, there are some famous spot to go in Makassar.
It is true that there are some alternatives of place to find those Makassar gold silks crafts. Actually they can be found in many merchandise shops. However, it will be great to find specific area to find them. it will be more interesting and easier to find the crafts.
- JalanSombaOpu or SombaOpu Street becomes the good destination to find the crafts. This becomes special place to go when tourists want to buy the crafts made from gold, pearls and silks. Many souvenirs in various shapes can be bought. Of course, they represent the local culture or local art. The other good point is that buyers can bargain while buying the stuffs in the shops along this street. There are many shops along the streets and they allow buyers to bargain. People with good bargaining skill will be useful in this area.
- Then, Makassar is also famous for its hand-woven silks. The silks are made by the local people of Toraja and the silks are made with various beautiful patterns. In this case, Aneka Sutra can be the right place to find the complete collection of the hand-woven silks. This will be much easier way than going directly to village of Toraja since it will take a lot of time.
Shopping in Makassar is not only about Makassar gold silks, pearls and other souvenirs. This town is good destination since it also provides the area for modern shopping. There is Trans Studio Mall Makassar. This can be alternative destination to go after shopping for the handicrafts of gifts. Of course, buying the stuffs in this mall cannot be bargained. All things have been in fixed prices. The good point is that people can enjoy the theme park offered by this place. Then, if tourists still want to enjoy the local culture, going to the village of Toraja will be the best choice. It may take time, but the long road will not be useless. Exotic culture and the heritages will be great things to find in Toraja village. It is also possible to see how the local people weave the authentic Toraja silks.

Elephants are born quicker than that Nina Simone biopic starring Zoë Saldana – which was once meant to be a starring vehicle for Mary J. Blige – has gotten done.
But the film has gotten made.
Simply, aptly titled Nina and directed by Cynthia Mort (the writer of Jodie Foster's The Brave One), the film will chronicle the relationship between the High Priestess of Soul and her assistant-cum-manager, Clifton Henderson, who will be portrayed by Selma's David Oyelowo (who, props where props are due, stuck by and with the film since it was announced back in 2010).
Nina will be available in select theaters and On Demand on April 22.
Photo: EW.com.
Update: Check out the first trailer for Nina, which I did not realize was quite so marred in controversy over Saldana's casting.
The actress reportedly (obviously) had to wear skin-darkening make-up and a prosthetic nose to play Simone, which the singer's estate isn't happy about, btw.
FYI, though, Saldana is on the record about not being about to worry about whether she is "black enough" for folks to approve of her yet-to-be-seen performance.

I took an abmien about an hour and a half ago and I'm barely able to type somewhat coherently. I need to fall asleep soon so I be rested enough to wake at 6:25. I'm not ready to go back to school but I must. I still have a million things to do but that is normal.
I picked Matthew up at the airport and everything seemed ok. He still seemed a bit distant, but no so much that he didn't kiss me or hold my hand. I do plan to talk to him about it at some point, but will give a few days for things to settle back down. We have dinner plans for Tuesday evening. Going with my friend Kirsten and Josh.
I'm happy to have him back close by and I look forward to going out on more dates and spending time with him.
I think I better get off soon before my ability to type becomes further impaired. I also have the hiccups which aren't helping. Have a good night all.

After recently released court documents revealed that Usher paid a sex partner $1.1 million for giving her herpes, yet another woman is speaking out about her intimate experience with the R&B singer. She says the two used a condom the first time they hooked up, but 12 days later they had sex again in a New Orleans hotel room, and this time around she says they did not use a condom.
Now, Jane Doe is suing Usher for negligence, battery, and emotional distress for allegedly exposing her to the STD without disclosing that he has the virus.
Earlier this week, it was reported that the singer paid over $1 million to settle a 2012 lawsuit after he allegedly infected his celebrity stylist flame with Herpes.
The woman, whose name is listed as "Jane Doe" in the legal docs, claims that she and Usher had two sexual encounters in April, the first of which occurred at her Atlanta home.
There had been some signs that Usher may have been cheating on Tameka Foster with Maya Fox-Davis. Foster was pregnant with Usher's child at the time.
Between R. Kelly's alleged harem and Usher's 2004 hit "Let It Burn" taking on a whole new meaning, the foolery isn't over just yet.
As reported, Usher was reportedly exposed to herpes in 2009 or 2010. The plaintiff was later diagnosed with herpes, complete with vaginal sores, fevers and chills, she alleged in papers.
According to California state law, where Usher now resides, it is illegal to knowingly or recklessly transmit a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Usher has yet to publicly address the reports. We had to retouch it a bit since it's technically a d*** pic, but you can use your imagination and probably Google and find the real thing.

Parkes Loves Elvis
What with Parkes being only an hour or so's drive from us you would think that music loving people that we are would have made our way there way before now. Nope every year I find out about the festival from people at work or play who have just spent the weekend there .. I always miss out. This year someone said to me on one sunny Monday in the middle of one of the fiercest heat waves that Australia has had in many a year ...'You going to the Elvis Festival this weekend?' I have to be honest, I did jump up and down a little bit in excitement .. 'You mean I haven't missed it?!?!?!' was my reply.
So I went home to Terry and told him that the Elvis Festival was on. Half a hour later Terry came back out of his office and told me we had accommodation for the whole weekend. Wheeeee!!
We were booked in for Saturday and Sunday night, the plan was to make our way down to Parkes early on Saturday morning for two reasons .. to beat the heat and see the street parade. We slept in a bit .. we missed the parade and the heat nearly beat us by the time we got there. But hey we got there and, after going to the wrong motel to start with, we finally had a nice cool shower and wandered down the street to see what was happening.
We found the commemorative wall of Fame.
There wasn't a real lot actually happening in the street, I think there was supposed to be buskers and stuff but it was already 38ºC at 11 am so I didn't blame anyone for making their way indoors. The shops had gone all out for the festival though and there were some wonderful displays in the windows. The theme for this year was an Aloha Elvis in Hawaii theme.
Parkes was founded by Sir Henry Parkes, who also gets into the Festival mood every year.
Let's go look for food at one of the clubs or pubs, we made for the park with the markets and the Big stage that was promising free Elvis's all weekend. It had lots of Elvis's but I spotted the cars with big fins, these were the cars that had been in the parade and I wanted to go look at the pretties.
After looking at stuff and finally finding food we headed back to the motel at about 4pm, by this time it was 43ºC and the walk back to the motel proved too much for us. We got the first taxi we saw.
Dinner was at the motel that night and we got to listen to Elvis while we dined and had cocktails.
T'was a lovely relaxing day even in the heat. The next day we were planning to go to an early morning Gospel service with ... yep you guessed it .. Elvis, then go check out the Elvis museum which also boasted having a car and farm machinery museum.
The next morning dawned bright and hot again, and we slept in again. Oh well we'll see the Gospel Service next year. First thing on the agenda is to check the bikes and get some aloha pics of them.
Lucky we weren't riding that day, the heat was as bad as the day before and storms were being predicted for that evening. There were fires close by but none that were effecting us yet, we were keeping an eye on the websites. We did get to visit the Henry Parkes Centre Complex which has all those museums in it. There was a lot of fascinating stuff in there so I'll save that for the next post .. and the trip home was going to include a visit to The Dish, would be interesting to see how it looks in the middle of summer.

Wow you guys have really been getting the hot weather. Not always fun riding at those temps. I like the aloha bike pics, creative.ReplyDelete
If I found out there was an Elvis festival anywhere near our town I'd probably go running and screaming in the other direction, lol. Never been a fan at all and I couldn't figure out what all the hub bub was about. I am glad you two enjoyed yourself though.Replies
Ta Brandy :)Delete
Hahaha .. actually when I first heard of the Elvis festival I was kinda ambivilant towards it, not quite running the other way but not running to it. Since I've found a love for music festivals of all types and the fun part is not necesarily the type of music as the fun that everyone is having making the music :)
The great thing about an Elvis festival is the dressing up (always fun dressing up) and the fact that you find that whether you are a fan or not you know all the songs and can actually even sing along to most of them.
What a great post! I gravitate like a magnet toward events such as this. And who doesn't like Elvis?! Thanks for sharing: what a fun write-up.ReplyDeleteReplies
Even in the almost ubearable heat it was a fun weekend too Ally, and you're right everyone can find at least one Elvis song they love I reckon!Delete
And did I mention at any stage how much fun it is to dress up ?!?! :-D

Slaughterhouse-Revived: Swine Flu Responses in Egypt and Iraq?
While I am not that much of a vocal animal rights activist, I've read in the newspapers today that three wild pigs in the Baghdad zoo were killed today amidst fears of swine flu contagion, and that Egypt announced that it is planning on exterminating its entire pig population. Many of these pigs (about 250,000) are reared by garbage collectors in the slums of Cairo, who use the pigs to dispose of organic waste. They belong and are eaten by the Coptic Christian community in these shantytowns. In short, they are a source of livelihood for these people, and they are not being compensated. The UN condemns the slaughtering of pigs as a response to swine flu, and the WHO has made clear that this is an inadequate response to the H1N1 virus as there is no evidence that these pigs were transmitting the flu.

Hi all,
It's been ages since I got on here. Why, well we had a break from kindy over the Easter break of twenty sleeps. 20 sleeps folks! That is a long time to devote to two precious little 2 and 4 year olds 24/7. I don't know about other families, but my littlies love one another, so much so, that even when they are fighting (seems to be ALL the time), they can't bear to apart. So there is no time left to sneak off and write a little blog post here or there, when I'm required to be about as chief peace maker.
But the wonderful thing that has happened to me today? Both kidlets fell asleep ( via mummy promoted drive around town) and I have some precious free time to post some of the recipes I've made over the last few weeks. My fav has been a delicious paleo fried rice made from cauliflower. So easy, quick and delicious and actually tastes better than the real thing [for a change :)] !
Oh hang on, my newish apple iPhone inexplicably carked it yesterday and will not turn on! I've no photos of my scrummy deliciousness to offer.
Oh we'll, time to go back surfing the net and enjoying my precious break.
C'est la vie.

I "believed" in Santa - year two
LilRed: So, you see, Santa. I keep a whole bunch o'pennies in this little purse here. See? Cause a gal never knows when she may need some mad money ...
Santa: What? You keep panties in your purse? Lemme see!
LilRed: No, Santa! PENNIES! Not panties.
Santa: Aw, hell. Why do you kids gotta waste my time like this? I'll sure be glad when the state fair rolls around again so I can get my carny pay. Crap. I need a smoke.
My mom told me that I used to have to tell everyone about my little owl purse full of pennies. Obviously I felt the need to relay the information to "Santa" as well.
I'm sure he was riveted.
I'm mostly riveted about what appears to be a phantom yarmulke atop my noggin.

Step 2 in getting Sprite organized was to help her have a more realistic sense of time. She never seemed to be quite sure what day of the week it was or how much time to allow for various activities.
Because she was not sure of which day it was she often forgot to take things to school. She needed to remember to take her guitar on Tuesdays and her P.E. uniform on Thursdays.
So we invested in A Window of Time eco-friendly transparent perpetual monthly calendar for her window http://www.awindowoftime.net/
I also put a whiteboard and cork pin board up for her and as well as her regular alarm clock I gave her an hourglass she could set to keep track of time spent on certain activities.
We discussed finding a balance in the amount of time spent on the various aspects of life and put a laminated Life Balance Wheel on her pin board which she could colour with wipe-off marker pens. There were many to choose from and I found a good example at http://www.avisionofyourown.com/lifewheel.pdf

""A comfortable, homely cottage, spotlessly clean. Lovely outlook with views over to Dartmoor.""
""We had a great short break in Spreyton at No1 The Cherries. The cottage itself was lovely and great for our 5 and 3 year olds with outside trampoline and swings. In addition Spreyton was easily accessible to other attractions so we saw a great deal and had some good fun whilst we were down there at Castle Drogo and Pennywell Farm""

|From Man Repeller / image via 5inchandup
Like many women, I love fashion. I'm fortunate enough to be able to buy new things and live in a country where I can freely choose what I want to wear. Blogger Leandra Medine is celebrating that freedom, too, and is using it to start a new and subversive fashion philosophy: wearing what she wants, regardless of whether men find it appealing.
Medine, who was profiled here in the New York Times, runs the aptly-named blog Man Repeller. She's described as celebrating:
"...fashions that, though promoted by designers and adored by women, most likely confuse — or worse, repulse — the average straight man. These include turbans, harem pants, jewelry that looks like a torture instrument, jumpsuits, ponchos, furry garments resembling large unidentified animals, boyfriend jeans, clogs and formal sweatpants."While I can't say I own a pair of formal sweatpants (sacrilege!), I can absolutely get behind the idea of dismissing any thought of men from the ladies' dressing room. Clothes are powerful. A good outfit can make you feel confident and strong; an unexpected tear in your dress or spill on a sweater can leave you feeling helpless or vulnerable. Why hand that power over to men? It may be an urban myth that early feminists burned their bras, but the concept behind that myth is still right on--women should have complete autonomy over their bodies, right down to their underwear.

I love making crêpes! The aroma reminds me of mornings in Paris when we did trade shows at Parc d'expositions many years ago. We'd get them from a crepê stand on the sidewalk, wrapped in paper, and ate them as we walked to the Metro. It's pronounced "krep" in French; most North Americans say "kreyp". I say it as the French do. I love it with dark chocolate spread and banana, butter and sugar, dark chocolate and strawberries or butter, pecan and Canadian maple syrup. Sometimes we top it off with icing sugar, dark chocolate sauce, nuts,and/or whipped cream.
Here's how I make them:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
- Whisk in the flour, sugar, salt and then melted butter.
- To make crêpes, heat a skillet and brush with a little oil or butter.
- Using a 1/4-cup ladle, ladle batter into the skillet and swirl around, coating the entire surface of the pan.
- Cook over medium heat until crêpe is golden brown on one side, 30 or 40 seconds. Turn crêpe over and cook until golden brown on second side. Turn out on a clean paper towel.
- Makes 8-10 crêpes.
Different styles of crepe griddles are available on the market. I've used a regular skillet for years and just recently bought a crêpe pan for $15.

How to Get Rid of Your PMI
Private mortgage insurance, or PMI, has been around in some form since the late 1950s. Prior to that period, conventional loans underwritten to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines required a down payment of at least 20%. That kept millions from buying a home they truly wanted because they didn't have enough down payment. They either had to wait or take out a government-backed loan program that limited the amount they could borrow. PMI stepped in and fixed that.
PMI is an insurance policy with the premium typically paid by the borrower in favor of the lender for loan balances that are greater than 80% of the sales price. The insurance policy paid the lender the difference between a borrower's down payment and the 80% limit. For example, on a home selling for $300,000 and the borrowers put down 5.0%, or $15,000, the PMI policy would pay the lender $45,000 in the instance of default. The most common PMI premium is an annual one paid out in monthly installments. Using this example a monthly PMI payment would be around $140. Rates for PMI can vary based upon the amount down, credit scores and the type of mortgage taken. This payment remains until the loan balance naturally amortizes down to 80% of the original value of the home, or around 11 years. But borrowers don't have to wait 11 years. They can take action on their own.
One option is to simply make extra payments, accelerating the 80% arrival. Conventional loans do not have prepayment penalties so borrowers can make extra payments each month, once per year or a one-time principal paydown. Borrowers contact their lender and make a written request to have PMI removed. The lender will then process the application and collect a fee and order a new appraisal.
When property values appreciate over time, getting to the 80% value can also arrive a little faster. If homeowners feel their property has appreciated to the point where PMI is no longer needed, they can begin the process of having PMI removed. Finally, homeowners can combine both a principal paydown and property appreciation, with both contributing to PMI removal.
PMI helps borrowers get conventional loans without the traditional 20% down payment, but PMI won't be on the loan forever. And sometimes sooner rather than later.

tCatProject ID: 778608
Funded under:
H2020-EU.2.3.1. - Mainstreaming SME support, especially through a dedicated instrument
H2020-EU.3.4. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Smart, Green And Integrated Transport
Disrupting the rail maintenance sector thanks to the most cost-efficient solution to auscultate railways overhead lines reducing costs up to 80%
Project details
Total cost:EUR 1 948 500
EU contribution:EUR 1 363 950
Coordinated in:Spain
Topic(s):SMEInst-10-2016-2017 - Small business innovation research for Transport and Smart Cities Mobility
Call for proposal:H2020-SMEINST-2-2016-2017See other projects for this call
Funding scheme:SME-2 - SME instrument phase 2
On average, the rail sector spends 39,600 EUR per kilometre of track on rail infrastructure maintenance, which accounts for 38% of total operating expenses. For the rail sector it is crucial to reduce OPEX costs to increase its competitiveness.
tCat workstation is an innovative rail trolley that will contribute to drastically reduce maintenance costs related to overhead line equipment. tCat integrates, among other sensors, two laser distance meters (Competitors only use one laser) having lower and higher accuracy and being moved, in correlation, at respectively higher and lower speed. Thanks to its on-board technology tCat is able to automatically and accurately detect any overhead line elements and measure track geometric parameters.
In addition, tCat allows on-site data processing including BIM predictive maintenance services offered through SaaS model and therefore immediate maintenance actions can be taken during walking inspections, which will reduce infrastructure downtime.
As result, thanks to tCat the overhead line maintenance processes will be performed between 5 and 6 times faster reducing costs up to 80%. This makes tCat a disruptive and unique solution in terms of cost savings and preventive maintenance operations.
In this project, the current prototype will be evolved and adapted to main markets and infrastructure characteristics. Evolved tCat models will be tested and demonstrated by some of the largest rail infrastructure operators in the EU and USA (Network Rail and ADIF).
Our estimation is that 5 years after the launch of the product (estimated by Q4 of 2019) we will have captured about 12-14% of the EU market and 10% of USA market, becoming one of the main solutions used to perform installation, electrification and maintenance works in railways. Most important investment evaluation data are: By 2023, the company will have created more than 25 jobs and get profitability indicators as IRR 77%, NPV 2,8M€, payback time 3 years.

Hummer Time!
Last night we had a senior youth girl sleepover at my place. It was a smaller group b/c of holiday plans, activities, sports but we had a blast. Food was plentiful and constant, socks were exchanged (new ones) in a Chinese auction, games were played and chick flicks ran into the wee morning hours. I introduced them to "Bohnanza" an addictive card game my old college roommate sent me a couple Christmases ago, thanks Kari! Ella, we played it this summer when I was down. It's comparative in some ways to slow motion version of "Pit." By 2 a.m. it was getting hysterical! Inhibitions are significantly decreasing by that time and manifest themselves very differently in different girls. Mayerly for instance reminded me of Dori from "Finding Nemo," not a clue what was going on when her turn came around, Elizabeth Golter on the other hand was in prime lawyer negotiation mode and a bit on the aggressive side, myself...totally calm and rational! HA, right!!
A funny ending, May and Natalie left to go home (just a mile down the road) and ended up high centered in the ditch and stuck for a good while waiting for assistance. Natalie's dad came to the rescue but to no avail, May's blazer was STUCK! But lo, just as all seemed lost, a neighbor drove by in his hummer. The true test of a hummer's stellar ability was put to the test and yes he succeeded in getting her out...after a couple tries. Impressive to see a Hummer actually put to the test. As they worked at getting the vehicle unstuck, I stood by ready with my camera to get some good shots for our senior slide show coming up this spring. Thanks for being a good sport Mayerly!
I'll add more pics later when my computer can process faster!

Here's the thing about tell-all books. Some of the people about whom things are told don't react well.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, a former pupil and close friend of Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, takes issue with a story stared by the former Pittsburgh offensive coordinator in his new book, The Quarterback Whisperer.
"During the [2005] season Ben often acted immature, as if all the stories that documented the greatness of 'Big Ben' had gone to his head," Arians writes. "He wasn't signing as many autographs for teammates as he should; some days he would sign, some days he wouldn't."
During a team meeting late in the regular season, linebacker Joey Porter singled out Roethlisberger with "blunt language" according to Arians, telling the quarterback that he "needed to be 'one of us.'" Roethlisberger instantly "became a different person" and "grew up fast," Arians says.
On Friday, Roethlisberger told Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the facts were erroneous.
"I was just more disappointed that the facts weren't accurate," Roethlisberger said. "I texted [Arians] on that and said, 'I wished you would have talked to me and got the facts right before it came out.' But it is what it is."
While Roethlisberger admits he was called out by Porter, Roethlisberger said it didn't have a positive impact on the then-second-year player.
"If anything, it made me despise Joey," Roethlisberger said.
He added that he currently doesn't despise Porter. And that's a good thing, given that he's a member of the coaching staff.

Hey everyone! Im sorry I have been gone for so long!! But I have been really busy!
First, let me start with.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! 明けましておめでとうございます!!!!!!
And now let me start with what's been going!
First, let me start with.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! 明けましておめでとうございます!!!!!!
And now let me start with what's been going!
I have been looking at part time jobs, and found that dog-walking will be beneficial to me health-wise (good exercise) and for the pets of owners! It also pays decently (some money is better than none in college) and I get to have fun with other animals! I also have applied to my expensive haunt, Shogun's steakhouse. My only drawback is, is that I may be going to Japan in the fall, so I will probably have to quit my jobs after Summer is over.....
Yes! New cosplay updates! I have recently uploaded several new cosplays to my photo albums on facebook! Nevermore, Shikiko, and my cute Moogle! Check them out at:
I have finally decided to make Nevermore into a cosplay, and I think I want to actually go somewhere with him, like I have my others. He is a great pet-project...
Speaking of pet-project....I found this absolutely beautiful green dress at Goodwill, along with a shrug and a necklace. I plan on altering it into some sort of Neo-hanfu, and wearing it for Rogue. Looks like Rogue will have another outfit soon! Its actually quite elven, despite the chinese-esque overall design of the dress. I will be playing with this thing for a while, and hopefully I can show it off at KawaKon!
I have also finally started working on Crystal Ciel. Fabric cost so far (not including trim and other stuff) has been: $45.00 + $81.00 = $126.00 (and some change)
I still need to get: hat, stuff to make the accessories for the hat, gloves, Victorian shoes, cane, lining fabric, trim, buttons, socks, garters, new contact lens, eyepatch, stuff to decorate eyepatch, new wig, pretty jewels, stuff to make the shoulder armor, and much more. @.@ This is going to be one of my best Ciel cosplays ever, and I am also working with another seamstress to get this finished due to limitations in time, so it will be super epic!
I will say though, I am NOT enjoying the idea of turning ANY of my project over to someone else. It is really painful. I love making all of my own costumes, and I love the costume being part of ME....But I know that not everyone can put forth all the time in the world to make such an epic project, especially when I have little under 3 months to complete it between school full-time and work-part time and tae kwon do.....I am going to be working on the best parts of it though, so the costume will be ME still. That I am taking comfort in.
Crystal Ciel is a dream image of Ciel that I have had, and wanted to put it into an actual work. So I may upset some die-hard Kuroshitsuji fans with my image. Ciel's hair and main color scheme has been changed, and even though he is still CIEL, he is Ciel as I see him in my own artwork image. Something tells me though, that when I am done, the fans will still like him and the concept that I have for the overall design.
Speaking of design...Crystal Ciel is pretty much an inverted, altered version of the Volume 6 coverart for the Kuroshitsuji manga. Though I add, take, and change some, it still is the double-breasted pattern with shorts. So I guess you can say that the inspiration actually came from the Vol. 6 cover artwork.
Yes, by book is still in the making. I am currently arranging how I will be gathering data and conducting the research for my project. This includes interviews, studying, and other intensive research. I have a photographer lined up, who is interested in helping me out with the project. I am greatly thankful for this.
My trip to Japan will give me the extra research that I need to actually complete the book, so I am looking at a late 2012-2013 release date. It will take time for me to organize all of the data and chapters and images, and also to find myself a good publisher. I am wanting to go through VIZ Media to release my project, but I am also looking at how difficult that may be considering how large of a company VIZ is, and I had heard something about how closed they can be to people who do not have an agent.
I have been SOOMED, ladies and gentlemen...and I am proud of it...though coming up with January's payment is difficult...I am not working very much at the moment, and I have been finding difficulties in getting stuff sold. I am all over the place trying to figure out how to get the last $250 paid on her. If I don't pay this off, then I lose over $1000....That's a lot of money lost.....I have to pay her off somehow...
That's really it for now. I will be back soon!

The Moto X has been hyped beyond belief in the past few months. But now Motorola and Google have made it official, we've got some bad news: It won't be coming to the UK. This is perhaps unsurprising. Moto's initial Android offerings took ages to make it over to Blighty, if at all, and it seems it's happy to try and make it back to the smartphone top table on home soil first. Gutted? You should be. Here are five reasons we're disappointed it won't be getting a UK release.
Customisation galore
Call us dorks, but we love the idea of being able to tweak our phones looks, a la old-school Nokias at the turn of the century. Motorola is offering an abundance of customisation features, using its Moto Maker website to let punters change the handset's colour and design, tweak its software to custom backgrounds and play around with the memory. It says it'll the deliver the device within four days. The idea of having a phone that looks different to everyone else's is pretty appealing.
Made in the USA
This is a key factor in why the Moto X is staying in the States. The phone is being assembled in Texas, rather than China, as Motorola looks to reposition itself as a champion of US industry. That's smart and we're sure some people will happily pay for it.
There's also the added factor that it's not being put together in questionable conditions, with workers having to put in absurd hours at a major cost to their health. Recent reports about practices at factories used by Apple have shown that this move by Motorola could be a good shift in the long term.
A decent Android alternative
Call us grumpy, but we're getting a bit bored with having the same old stuff fed to us by Samsung et al. Yeah, their phones are great, but it's always good to see an underdog turn up and cause a stir. It would have been great to see Motorola try and attempt to recapture past glories here in the UK.
There are Google Edition plans
One of the major issues with the Moto X is carrier bloatware. US networks are already said to be plotting their own apps for the device, despite it packing a basic version of Android. Word on the web is that Motorola and Google are priming a 'Google Edition' without the added guff, much like versions of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One.
It's Touchless Control function looks superb
This is really ace and something we'd have loved to have had a play with. The Touchless Control tech means you can tell your phone what to do and what you want without having to get it out of sleep mode. Hopefully this is something that will become prevalent in other Moto phones that do arrive here in the UK.

Superb. Insightful essays, Performance to match
Judt, a European-born New Yorker and academic, analyzes the failings of his fellow leftists in clear-eyed essays. There are 24 essays, most of which appeared as extended reviews in The New York Review of Books.
He blames the left for their unwillingness to acknowledge that the only examples of communist governments have all taken the form of dictatorships. He cites leftist intellectual willingness to make exceptions for The Greater Good and blindness to Stalin--even when presented with proof--and he blames his fellow leftist intellectuals for an unwillingness to consider that yes, there were communists in the US State Department, and that while McCarthy was wrong about everything else, he may have been right about this.
Judt was on a kibbutz during the Six Day War, when Jordan, Syria and Egypt moved to crush Israel. Israel won not by a shofar, but when the Egyptian air force was burned into the desert. He acknowledges the cost of Zionism--Israeli land gained is Arab land lost is peace lost--and he knows the answer is Land For Peace. In an essay on Edward Said, he talks about Palestinian weakness and ineptitude in face of Israeli duplicity, and later, the inevitable charges of anti-Semitism that follow criticism of the settlements, and the inability of American Jews to see Israel through the eyes of the rest of the world, and the Israeli's inability to create a country that can stand without America's help.
Judt is not perfect. There is some score-settling among fellow leftists that comes across as Paris cafe bickering.
In his review of William Bundy's "Tangled Web" he excoriates Nixon and Kissinger's destructive narcissistic personal foreign policy--cutting out State and CIA--lauds Shuttle Diplomacy, but doesn't see that they have the same roots. The opening to China is seen as brilliant in of itself, but Bundy (and Judt) take at face value the Soviet/Russian claim that the overtures to China had nothing to do with the Soviet summit and SALT treaty.
Finally, his review of "The Cold War: A New History" (2005) by John Lewis Gaddis (who won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Biography), is worth the price of the book. Gaddis's book is eviscerated as shallow and narrow, a jingoistic account of a victory that is an insight to American policymakers that made me wonder if the publisher wasn't FOX News Books. But Judt's view is European, and Gaddis's is American, and we return to the blind spot of the Left: nuclear war. Under the threat of mutually assured destruction, the Right races to the expedient self-serving simple choice, and everyone suffers.
Judt ends with the spectre haunting the West — the spectre of nationalism.
The performance is excellent. Judt's forté is France, so there is more than the usual mot juste. While it is normally just an affectation, like a pipe, pipe cleaner, tobacco, tobacco pouch, tamper and the outsized search for The Ashtray so we can Ring It Like A Schoolbell, in an audio book it transcends affectation to annoyance.

What did you love best about Reappraisals?
Brilliant analyses, mordant excoriations of the militarists self-justifying their Vietnam war, great critique of Israel
How could the performance have been better?
It's the wrong reader - the plummy British accent makes Judt sound like like a Mandarin, pronouncing disdainfully on mere mortals.His mispronounciation of all the Hebrew names compounds the tone of an authority impossible remote from his subjects.

Excellent essays, flawed narration
Tony Judt was one of the few contemporary thinkers who managed to combine rigorous scholarship with brilliant prose,resulting in cogent exposition of complex issues and theories. These essays, originally published in The New York Review of Books and other similar publications, furnish ample intellectually stimulation and the occasional chuckle, as Judt can have a wicked sense of humor. His dissection of Blair's Britain is brilliantly disheartening and as are the denunciation of Louis Althusser's theories as convoluted gibberish. Primo Levi and Hannah Arendt are lovingly revisited as are intellectuals such Leszek Kolakowski , Eric Hobsbawm and Arthur Koestler. Judt manages to transform even the intricacies of Belgian politics into a fascinating subject.
While I can but praise the text, I have some major problems with the reading of it. James Adams is an adequate reader, but he has major problems with any pronunciation rather than English, and the book is absolutely full of French, Italian , Polish , etc. I found myself heavily cringing at the almost incomprehensible mispronunciations of some non-English words scattered around the text. I would have thought one who accepts the job of reading such a text should do the basic homework of finding out how the names of important writers and intellectuals are pronounced.

Brilliant essays, rather odd delivery
This set of reprinted reviews and essays confirms Tony Judt's position as one of the great post-war historical and political commentators. His knowledge and assessment of the figures and movements of world, and in particular European politics is masterful. I have enjoyed his larger works, and now, following his tragic early demise have turned to the lesser components of his oeuvre.
Which brings me to the rather odd pronunciation of his narrator. James Adams has a curious habit of investing French loanwords, such as oeuvre with idiosyncratic pronunciations. Thus oeuvre becomes ouvre, and insouciant ahnsoowisornt. If anything he rather overdoes his attempts to capture French vowels, which. given his otherwise impeccable received pronunciation, puts one in mind of a Surrey High Street bank manager trying, and failing, to pass for a French native. I realise that this is a rather trivial criticism of an otherwise excellent talking book, and that there will be many who find this only mildly irritating, if at all. It would be no criticism at all were it not for Tony Judt's fondness for French loanwords, but I found it a bit of a distraction.
I'm a bit of a pedant, me.

excellent, thought provoking
What did you like most about Reappraisals?
judt gives a personal reflection from the point of view of a jewish historian who focus has been the years after WW2. His insights are timely. His thoughts on the divergence of european and american philosophical approaches to policy in the closing section is particularly interesting. The performance is well done with a english accented reader,
What does James Adams bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you had only read the book?
great voice
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
not a film, but a documentary of his life and heroes, and why they were his heroes.

NYC all decked out for the holidays
December 14, 2007
It's that time of year again when all the tourists come to NYC to see some of the famous shows and decorations we have to offer for the holidays. This year seems to be the most tourist flocking season yet as everyone crowds around popular areas so tight that the locals are moving only an inch per minute. However, there are so many things in this city that's worth seeing and should not be missed. So here are just some of the highlights of the holiday spirit that shines throughout the city.
Bryant Park has just about everything. Feel free to shop at the quaint holiday village, dine at an indoor/outdoor restaurant that provides outdoor heating lamps, take pictures of their grand Christmas tree and ice skate at The Pond right by the tree and restaurant with the Empire State Building overlooking the park. Admission to the ice skating rink is free. To rent skates is about $7 and an extra $3 for a lock for the lockers. This is the one area where people can spend their whole day in the heart of NYC.
Also, within the area you should visit is Grand Central Station. They also have their holiday market, perfect for holiday shopping on the go. The food courts below the main station have a variety of cultural foods ranging from American to Indian, from fast food to sit in, along side with newsstands, bakery and much more. But around this time of year, people come racing to grand central for two reasons: 1) to take the train home to see their families for the holidays and 2) to see the newest Kaleidoscope show grand central station puts on. Year after year Grand Central Terminal has had laser light shows on the ceiling. But within these last two years, they have expanded the light show from the ceiling to beautiful moving images on the walls all coordinated to holiday music. The show is every half hour from 11am to 9pm and it's free to the public.
From 42nd Street you can either go up or down along 5th Avenue. If you go down along 5th Avenue, you will come across Lord & Taylor on 5th Avenue. That's a building you can't miss due to the entire building being lit up with Christmas lights. Once the well-lit building allures you, hop on line to see the elegant Victorian Holiday window display. This year's window shows the holiday spirit around the world during the Victorian era.
If you go a little further down, before you know it, you are on 34th Street, a great spot to take pictures of the Empire State Building displaying the colors of the holiday season. You can take the tour and then continue onwards to Macy's, the department store that set the standards as far as holiday celebrations. View their well-known window displays featuring this year's theme of Santa's journey around the world in one night. After that, feel free to shop inside and find numerous sales. As for those that have restless kids, don't forget to treat them with a visit to Santa land and be able to meet Santa himself. If Macy's and all of 34th street gets too crowded, journey a little further down to Union Square and their holiday market as well as their farmers market. The crowd intensity is much more subdued and you can still shop for your loved ones with a little bit more peace of mind.
If you are traveling uptown along 5th Avenue from 42nd Street, you will be hitting the most popular and famous of all attractions in New York City. Walking along 5th Ave. from 42nd street, there's not much to see visually until you hit Saks 5th Avenue. There you can view this year's window display of "Snow People" from a children's holiday book. Also, Saks is now notoriously known for their LED dancing snowflakes on the building. Go across the street from Saks to best view the snowflakes. Also across the street from Saks 5th Avenue is the famous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. Walk around the promenade to view the lighted angels and a closer look at the new LED lit Christmas tree. You can also take the time out to ice skate around the ice rink under the beautiful tree and right by the golden statue. Also within Rockefeller Center area are tours to the NBC Studios & Store, Top of the Rock and Radio City Music Hall where the Christmas Spectacular show is currently playing.
Holiday sights and attractions don't end there. If you still walk north of 5th avenue, you can still see stores like Cartier, Fendi, Disney and Bergdorf Goodman with their holiday window displays and lights that make 5th Avenue looks like it's been covered in glittering diamonds. Also along 5th Avenue is the famous UNICEF crystal snowflake that hangs in the middle on the intersection on 57th Street. And on 59th Street on view is the 5th Avenue menorah right by the Plaza Hotel. On the west side of 59th Street is Columbus Circle where there is a holiday market as well as a visit to the Time Warner Building with their stars that light and change color to music. Also a few blocks north of the Time Warner/ Columbus Circle area is Lincoln Center. Currently playing at Lincoln Center is the holiday show "The Nutcracker" ballet as well as many other operas and shows currently playing. Also, Lincoln Center is showcasing their holiday spirit with a beautiful blue Christmas tree right by the fountain with snowflakes and music instrument ornaments on the tree.
Hopefully this will help you on your holiday journey in and around our Christmas town. Maybe all the decorations will help you get more into the holiday spirit if you haven't been feeling that much into the season. In any case, may every local and tourist have a great Holiday Season and much joy and prosperity to you in the upcoming 2008. Happy Holidays!

Digitize me!
The federal government, in a major flipping of the bird to sick poor kids across the country, kicked off its $1 billion digital TV campaign Tuesday by offering $40 coupons for digital converter boxes. The boxes will be necessary for anyone currently receiving over-the-air analog signals once the federally mandated digital switchover occurs on Feb. 17, 2009. This means if you're still watching Leno every night for free instead of paying for cable or satellite like a sucker, then the government has two words for you: "Tough luck."
Yes, come Feb. 18, 2009, if you don't have one of these boxes shoved securely between your rooftop antennae and your TV, then the only sound you'll hear over the snowy static will be your child crying, "Where'd Elmo go, Mommy?" Cable and satellite subscribers have less to worry about: their respective service providers will be handling the transition for them. But that still leaves millions of Americans -- a large percentage of them elderly and lower-income -- out in the cold to fend for their own entertainment and informational livelihoods. And, as Phillip Swann of TVPredictions.com points out, who is the least likely to be informed about the coming digital switch and the steps necessary to survive it? Exactly: elderly and lower-income Americans.
The government says it has that contingency covered, because part of its $1 billion plan -- that's billion with a "B," people -- is to provide not only the coupons but public service announcements about how to handle the digital revolution. That's sure to help a lot of people -- until they realize that those $40 coupons don't cover the entire cost of a $60-$70 digital converter. To assist with that, the government is letting each U.S. household sign up for two, count 'em two, coupons, which sounds good until you realize that every TV you own will need its own converter box. So if your house has two TVs, and you can only get $80 in assistance from Uncle Sam, you'll still need to pay up to $60 if you want all those TVs to work come next year.
And, hey, all you cable/satellite subscribers: Do you still have a couple sets, maybe in the basement or your kids' room, that aren't hooked up, and that still rely on over-the-air signals? Well, guess what? You get to shell out some big bucks, too! Whoever said TV couldn't bring people together!
The question I have is, who asked for this digital switch in the first place? Have you ever heard anyone who uses rabbit-ears on their TV say, "You know, I enjoy getting my TV shows for free, but I sure wish the resolution of Drew Carey's fat head could be sharper." Yet the government decided years ago to surge ahead with this preemptive digital strike, and just the other day the FCC announced they would allow broadcasters to start phasing out their analog signals even sooner than the 2009 deadline, according to this article by Information Week. It seems the big winners here will be not only the government, which is expecting to make billions by auctioning off the soon-to-be empty analog frequencies, but to wireless phone companies who are clamoring to snag some more airspace. (Read more about that here at Uncommon Thought.)
TVPrediction's Swann believes that confusion brought on by the converter boxes will cause the government to rethink its digital switch timetable. Even if that were the case, it would require Congress to act quickly and cooperatively on something, and when's the last time that happened? So if you know anyone who will need a converter who is still in the dark, do them a favor and make sure they're up to date. It may be expensive and unfair, it may benefit big business at the expense of your grandmother, and it may be just one more way for our government to waste money, but, hey, that digital TV picture sure is pretty.

Wishing for the dog days of summer ~

Love your dog quilt... How did you make the eyes? I've got one I made with the floppy ears, too, but it is sitting (like a good dog) on the shelf because I can't figure out how to make them for a little kid. The quilt will either be for an unknown grand or great grand, if ever, or a Project Linus quilt... so the eyes have to be sewn on, and sewn on well.ReplyDelete
(I found your comment on Melody Johnson's blog, and was intrigued by your flip flops. Had to come over to see your quilts. I live in Orangevale, CA - about 30 miles East of Sacramento. We are practically neighbors!)

The Dolpo region lies further north from the Dhaulagiri Range in the rain shadow of the Himalayas – reflected in the colorful barren slopes of the mountains where the play of light and shadow is a perpetual fascinating spectacle.

REUTERS – Spain's new king, Felipe VI, was sworn in on Thursday in a low-key ceremony which monarchists hope will usher in a new era of popularity for the troubled royal household.
Felipe became king after his father, Juan Carlos, abdicated earlier this month following a series of scandals that led many Spaniards to question the role of the monarchy itself.
Hopes for the new king are high, and some believe that, despite his role being mainly symbolic as head of state, he will use his position to push dialogue over the challenge of a separatist movement in wealthy northeastern Catalonia.
Felipe's ascent to the throne makes his wife, divorced former journalist Letizia Ortiz, Spain's first commoner queen.
With a background contrasting deeply with the royal privileges of her husband, many see in the 41-year-old former TV anchor the survival of the monarchy because of her down-to-earth middle-class roots.
Ortiz, daughter of a journalist and a nurse and the granddaughter of a taxi-driver, dated Felipe in secret before their engagement was announced in November 2003. They met at a dinner organised by a journalist friend.
Spain's most conservative factions expressed opposition to the prince's choice, underlining her lineage as a commoner, or one outside the nobility.
But others saw a possible regeneration of the monarchy's archaic ways for a new era.
"I think (their marriage) was a very positive thing," historian Charles Powell of Real Instituto Elcano told Reuters TV. "What she brings to the marriage is basically that she grounds him. She makes him aware of everyday issues, everyday problems."
Josי Antonio Fernבndez, a 71-year-old pensioner, appeared to agree.
"The monarchy seems medieval to me, but if there has to be a queen I would prefer it to be someone who doesn't have blue blood," said
Ortiz divorced in 1999 after a year of marriage with her former high-school literature teacher, Alonso Guerrero.
Her profile is similar to those of other royal partners elsewhere in Europe, and she has been compared with Kate Middleton, the wife of Britain's Prince William, who is believed to be one of the reasons for a surge in popularity at the House of Windsor.
"The preparation of the future queen is solid … because before she was queen … she was a woman with a degree, who comes from the lower middle class with parents and grandparents who had to work for a living," Paloma Barrientos, a reporter who covers the palace in Madrid, told Reuters.
Born in the northern Spanish city of Oviedo in 1972, Ortiz worked as a journalist at newspapers La Nueva Espaסa and ABC, as well as at news agency EFE before TV channels at Bloomberg, CNN+ and Spain's state TV company Television Espaסola.
She worked in Mexico for Siglo XXI and covered stories such as the 9/11 attacks on New York and the Iraq war.
Ortiz made headlines when the couple announced their engagement and she told Felipe in public to shut up. "Let me finish," she said, smiling, in front of a throng of cameras.
Letizia and Felipe have two children Leonor, 8 and Sofia, 7.

Working with linen as weft is a whole 'nother ballgame. Trying to keep the linen from flipping and wriggling off the bobbin is a contest in "me or it". Will "me" get into a nice rhythm, or will "it" do what it wants to?
I really like this fuchsia 10/2 linen. It's shinny. I hope it doesn't bleed when I wash it. Guess I should have thought of that before I started with it.
I think the back side is kind of cool. I am excited to see what this will really look like once I get it off the loom and washed. The warp is 8/2 cotton.

Hold it right there! We mean tackle anxiety and stress right at work. Instead of de-stressing after a hard day, why not minimise and avoid stress? Here's what you can do.
- Keep your workspace neat and organised. A cluttered desk will only add to confusion and make you irritated.
- Plan in advance. Make a list of things to do for the day and follow it.
- Take a short break when tackling a tricky problem. Leave the taxing environs of the conference room and go for a short walk to restore your energy levels.
- Listen to music; share a joke with an amicable colleague, etc. It will help you relax.
- Don't hesitate to ask for help if on a difficult assignment.Don't procrastinate and push those jobs.
- The closer the deadline arrives, the more worried you get.
Remember, it's important to work hard and smart. But it's not essential to turn into a workaholic.

The Philippines is one of the hottest tourist spots because of tropical islands surrounded by stunning white sand beaches like Boracay, Siargao, and the likes.
But what tourists don't see every day is the everyday life of Filipinos who are at the lower end of the socioeconomic hierarchy.
Twitter user @MonsieuraHansLim tweeted a series of photos showing the other side of the Philippines and it is dreadfully beautiful in its own way.

"I went with Jim around the port area where the Smokey Mountain [A garbage dump in Manila] used to be. The people are nice," the photographer told the pvblic.
Aesthetically, it's gorgeous. But what does each photo show? The hardships of a Filipino. The slums where people build lives and continue with their daily routines just to get by the day.

Today we're closing out the tour for M.A. Church's
The Harvest: Journey's End
To survive is to adapt…
Dale Michaels knows all about change. As he settles into his new life with the Tah'Narian starship captain Keyno Shou, Dale has adapted to life with an alien, space travel, and having his body mutated so he can carry a young. He's closed the chapter on his old life. Living on Tah'Nar, Dale has a loving mate and good friends. He's helped cement peace with the Onfre. Sure, being double-dosed during his harvest led to some serious drama, but that's over. Dale's happy.
But life is never that simple.
Even though Dale loves Keyno, he still struggles with the way the Tah'Narians harvest young males as mates. Dale finds himself hijacked by his own body, courtesy of his extra dose of Tah'Narian DNA. Then there's the devastating secret his mate, Keyno, has hid all this time. And if all that isn't enough, outside forces threaten to rip Dale's hard-won peace apart as well.
Join Dale for a non-stop adventure and a love that crosses several worlds and transcends space.
As soon as Keyno was back to normal, we visited Jolak. He was overjoyed to see us, and we had a private meal with him and his mate. Jolak was still in bed, so King Duran brought him a tray.
The king was still hunting the space pirates who had attacked us, but they'd vanished into thin air. From the reports Ti had sent us, it looked as if they'd left our system altogether. I imagine the impression made by Ti and Colt had a lot to do with that.
Jolak's young started kicking while we were eating. He offered to let me feel his little one moving inside him, and then he gave Keyno a chance. The look of longing that covered Keyno's face touched me deeply. It was the first time the thought of being pregnant was something I desired. What I felt was a yearning. Tears rose in my eyes as Jolak grinned at me.
"Feisty little young you got there," I commented as I hid my tears, and King Duran laughed. "He's sure full of energy."
Get the book:
M.A. Church is a true Southern belle who spent many years in the elementary education sector. Now she spends her days lost in fantasy worlds, arguing with hardheaded aliens on far-off planets, herding her numerous shifters, or trying to tempt her country boys away from their fishing poles. It's a full time job, but hey, someone's gotta do it!
When not writing, she's exploring the latest M/M novel to hit the market, watching her beloved Steelers, or sitting glued to HGTV. That's if she's not on the back porch tending to the demanding wildlife around the pond in the backyard. The ducks are very outspoken. She's married to her high school sweetheart, and they have two children.

The New 'Poltergeist' Has Been Rated By the MPAA
Poltergeist has been rated PG-13 for "intense frightening sequences, brief suggestive material, and some language." But that's okay. The original was rated PG.
Gil Keenan directs the new Poltergeist, allegedly a pseudo-sequel, that will open in theaters on July 24, 2015.
To be released in 3-D, Jared Harris will play Carrigan, a larger than life TV personality who left the world of academia behind to become the star host of basic cable TV show "Haunted House Cleaners."
Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Saxon Sharbino and Jane Adams also star.
Legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi (producer) reimagines and contemporizes the classic tale about a family whose suburban home is invaded by angry spirits. When the terrifying apparitions escalate their attacks and take the youngest daughter, the family must come together to rescue her.

Hello again dev experts,
I have an issue I am hoping you can provide some guidance on. I have a layout with two drop downs. When a user selects an item in the first drop down, I have a script that runs "on Validate". The last script step of that script is "Go to Field" and its the other drop down. This way when a user selects an item in the first drop down, they are automatically taken to the second one.
Works perfectly fine in FM Pro 13 - however - I cannot get it to work in FM GO 13. It selects the first field generally in the layout.
I have also tried Go to Object with the same results. I read the FM document about the differences between go / pro and I cant find anything in there about this. Has anyone run into this issue? Is there a better way to do this?
As always, thank you very much.

Hi guys..
As yesterday I updated my Facebook status about my health. So as I am now feeling much better than before, I am ready to show you my latest and current projects I am working on.
So in this post series I am going to tell about projects I am working on each month. And for year 2015 month January my first project was Valentine's day heart coaster/doily.
Now second project that I am working on is a small Star Baby Blanket. I came to make it when I was going through my yarn stash and found one of the yarn that I have never used for anything before. It feels so soft to touch and warm.
This yarn as far as I remember was given by my friend when she was moving to another city. And at that time there was no label or details about the yarn type. She must have lost it or something. So, I asked about it on some Facebook groups about crocheting. And they suggested me that it might be Chenille yarn or Pipsqueak yarn. So I assumed it as pipsqueak yarn. Then I started making a baby blanket for the same friend as she is expecting a baby soon. So I thought it will make a lovely gift for her baby. As this yarn feels really soft and warm, it will be very comfortable for baby skin.
For this star Baby blanket I am following a pattern by Yarnspirations. I usually work on a single project or two at a time. So I am sorry if I am giving very limited number of projects on which I am working.
And, details regarding this Pattern:
Pipsqueak yarn,
Size 6.5 mm (U.S. K or 10½) crochet hook
GAUGE: 10 dc and 6 rows = 4 ins [10 cm].
You can find all the details and pattern here.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Please like and leave a comment about anything you want to know about my page, my projects or if you have any other question related to it. I will be more than happy to answer..
Also, Please follow me on my Facebook page for more and latest updates regarding crochet and other stuff from all around the internet which I am not posting on my blog sometimes..
Bye.. Take care and keep smiling..
