Southern Fiction is big. It is longer, wider, and deeper than this blog posting. Recently, Vanity Fair magazine published a two-page photograph of some Southern women authors. They chose: Sheri Joseph, Susan Rebecca White, Karin Slaughter, Amanda Gable, Joshilyn Jackson, Natasha Trethewey, Emily Giffin, Jessica Handler and Kathryn Stockett. According to the magazine these women "write fearlessly about the region's troubled legacies of race, class, gender and sexuality."
From my experience as a reader, I have my own list of favorite Southern authors. Mark Childress is the author who reached out and grabbed me with Crazy in Alabama. I have also enjoyed One Mississippi and Georgia Bottoms, his newest book. Crazy in Alabama starts my imaginary shelf of must-read Southern fiction and Kathryn Stockett's The Help finishes it. In between these two books are more titles that I would recommend: Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman, The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc by Loraine Despres, The Rock Orchard by Paula Wall, Miss Julia Speaks her Mind by Ann B. Ross, The Heaven of Mercury by Brad Watson, Eddie's Bastard by William Kowalski, The Last Girls by Lee Smith, On Account of Conspicuous Women by Dawn Shamp, Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter: A Novel by Lisa Patton and most recently Sweet Jiminy by Kristin Gore. Enjoy!

Have you ever had a story to tell but thought it wasn't worth the time to write it or worried who's gonna listen to it?
Yesterday I was watching Shawn Carter (Jay Z) speak at a panel and he was remembering the blocks where he grew up, in a single parent family and how that affected the relationship kids have with any masculine figure of authority afterwards. I realised that of course I ain't HOV and no aim to compare myself but I have to honour something that we both share and that's that we all have stories for a reason.
When writing this blog it all started from the consumer point of view, I wondered what you might need, I guessed from my line of work what would have been the best and from a marketing point of view I collected wisdom and transformed it for my posts. But that's a sin!
I do believe that we are powerful magnets capable of attracting absolutely everything we need into our lives by simply surrendering to the flow of the soul and I have been in that flow a few times, the last time I entered it…well, let me go back in time a bit before that.
I might have been 10 years old or less when I wrote a poem and I showed it to my father, I can't even remember where it came from and what was it about, I remember writing it with a typewriter, an old Olivetti machine my father gave me, green turquoise, I loved the sound of it!
It might have been my fever for reading, my wild imagination, don't know for sure, but I kept writing, keeping them secret because I felt embarrassed of what was coming out of me.
Once, I wrote a short story about a girl who was sad because their parents had decided to abort their kid and writing from the perspective of the not yet born baby was intense, my literature teacher invited me to read it in front of the whole course, not my class only, the whole floor was there, oh well!
Poems, stories, notebooks, in my mind I wanted to be a writer and the same way those books had transformed my imagination I wanted to create worlds and travel with the stories that I could create.
I had them all together and my father sent them to a friend, he is a best selling author and also a lawyer, he had the courage to read my writings and then sent an email, polite and cold, saying, yes, they were ok but,…that but killed me…but writing wouldn't give me a life, he was still working as a lawyer in the end, writers have it hard and I needed to live, my style wasn't fluent or original enough. These weren't exactly the words, I don't have the email and honestly I don't even want to read again but the point is, I allowed those words to kill my spirit, I blocked something in me, after that, every time I wrote something it was never good enough, I have burned notebooks, deleted files and folders with notes and texts, I have given up on my dream a hundred thousand times.
But a dream is a dream, a muse is stubborn and there's no way I was going to die with all my stories inside me.
I travelled the world, experimented life in many different forms, I did all I could to get lost and yet the dream always found me back, the path was always there, this might sound romantic but it's like I have a star in my ass and somehow no matter how far I might be or feel from the dream it keeps coming back.
I tried different styles, then looked for what people might like and tried to please but what I was writing didn't had a soul. Some of my poems are around the internet, Facebook has a funny way of bringing up memories in the most unexpected moments and a few days back it mentioned a short poem I wrote a couple of years ago, it was intense and it was fire, I know I have it in me and the trick is to write write write and to explore, in the midst of all that a gem will be found! Or many 🙂
The point of this post is a before and after, I couldn't keep it inside for longer, the dream its bursting out and now all I want to do is create create create create…experience and experiment.
The cool thing about life is that there are no mistakes, not a single one, everyone of us blossoms when it's time, after all I have been through all these years now is the time to let the dream out and without judgement create.
The hack was born out of need, out of fear, out of necessity, out of lack of faith, out of pain, out of looking outside instead of inward, and that's why the hack was not authentic.
When did the hack die?
A few paragraphs before I mentioned the flow and how we are magnets for exactly what we need, what we really need. This time it was a book, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. In there the author says that the hack has sold the muse, and that there's a bigger fear than failure, the fear of actually being that person who dares because it sets you apart from the pack and leaving the tribe is something that unconsciously the human mind fears.
I think it's also a bit of the old ego that wants to remain comfortable and in the known, is better to feel like crap but at least you know how that feels.
Well, I'm done with that!
Words are flowing from me, can't and won't stop them anymore, I was wired to create and living my days like each one of them is the last one means honouring my dreams, every single one of them.
What will come from this? I will let it flow so I can't predict but now I'm doing it from the inside so whatever happens in the outside world can only inspire not control or decide for me.
Steven talks about resistance, resistance being the devil, the evil force that will freeze you everytime you are about to do something exceptional.
Everyone that has a body experiments resistance of some kind, mine was the absolute freezing fear of being seen, vulnerable, open, my mind open wide to the world where it can be judged, criticised, where I can be hurt, so instead I almost killed my muse by writing hacks and tricks instead of actually creating.
Funny huh? Always motivating people to follow their dreams while in the midst of it I am fighting a battle of being good enough to write and worrying about who might like it when what I have learned from people like Pharrell Williams, Kanye West or any other artist is that art comes through us, it's something you can't stop, it takes courage but when creating is when we are alive. We do it for the love of creating and if people like it that's a plus.
I had to grow all these years to turn pro, to take art professionally, to take it as a job, to understand that the creative process is an everyday job but I won't call it a job, it's more a quest of daily discovery where inspiration can be found in the less expected places, suddenly the world is a bucket of ideas and experiences and I am open to receive them and process them with my words and imagination.

San Mateo, California (PRWEB) June 20, 2012
CommunityLeader, Inc., announced today that "Credibility" host, Michael "Hutch" Hutchison, has joined their company as a co-founder and chief revenue officer. Joseph Barisonzi, co-founder and CEO said: "We are proud that Hutch is investing his future in CommunityLeader," said Barisonzi. "This type of personal commitment from a renowned entrepreneurial advocate is a testament to our go-to-market strategy and a reaffirmation of our commitment to helping small businesses grow."
Michael Hutchison, the noted host of CredibilityLive sponsored by Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp., was asked why he chose CommunityLeader and Hutch responded, "Do you remember the Schick razors TV commercial with Victor Kiam who said: 'I liked the company so much, I bought it.' Well after meeting Jennifer Amys, Scott Bachman and Joseph Barisonzi, the other founding principals of CommunityLeader, I trusted them and did the same. I am now a proud partner and co-owner of CommunityLeader."
"One of the first CredibilityLIVE shows I hosted last year was called Access to Capital for Everyday Small Business. Most entrepreneurs find it very difficult to get funding, and I would say that for now the areas where crowdfunding has the most opportunity is in those underserved areas that traditional financiers have traditionally found unattractive. Clearly, there is massive demand for capital. There are investors and lenders who are looking for healthy well run businesses that can grow and sustain downturns to become large profitable companies."
Hutch has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in sales and profits during the past 25 years. He has worked with startup leaders and companies such as EDS, Tony Robbins, Interactive Telesis, SpeechWorks, Vocalocity, BetterTrades, Phil Town, Appcelerator and now CommunityLeader. The strength of his references are based on the fact that between leading Tony Robbins' company for 7 plus years and his own training companies, he has been instrumental in training over 1.5 million people from 54 different countries, in every type of business on what it really takes to run a business well to create serious financial success.
"I chose CommunityLeader and its industry best leadership team because they are on a mission to teach thousands of business owners who have no previous crowdfunding experience how to find that missing puzzle piece of "specific knowledge" to raise money and fuel the growth of their business," continues Hutch.
CommunityLeader is a full service provider of business, investor and portal services in the emerging crowdfunding market with unique focus on connecting qualified companies to investors in their community. CommunityLeader's user-friendly, yet disciplined CampaignLeader platform, provides security, compliance, and resources to existing and new businesses while ensuring transparency and accountability for their investors.

The Hurry Up is your nightly dose of updates from the Ohio State football recruiting trail, keeping tabs on the latest from commits and targets from around the country.
Ohio State walk-on-turned-scholarship linebacker Zach Turnure might only see the field on special teams, but head coach Urban Meyer called him one of the most productive players on the team during his weekly press conference on Monday afternoon.
"Even when he's not making a tackle, he's usually creating enough chaos that someone else makes it," Meyer said. "He's a stud. I love that kid."
Turnure was an All-American lacrosse player at Christian Brothers College High School in St. Louis, but realized football was his calling soon after he arrived on campus in 2014. And though he's now preparing to play his final game in Ohio Stadium, Turnure's impact on the Buckeyes' program might reach well into the future.
Enter Christian Brothers College four-star wide receiver Kamryn Babb, Ohio State's top target at the position for the current recruiting cycle, who — like Turnure in 2013 — was named a team captain for the Cadets this season. The two have grown close over the years, and Turnure has helped Babb gain quite a bit of insight into the Buckeyes' program as a result.
"I always make sure to shoot him a text like, 'Hey, man, any questions you may have or anything you need to know about the program, I'd love to fill you in,'" Turnure told Eleven Warriors. "I never really try to persuade them or anything, I just try to be a guiding hand because I know how hard it can be during the recruiting process. They already have people in their ear enough."
Babb, the ninth-best wide receiver in the Class of 2018, was only in eighth grade when Turnure was a senior. Same goes for Nebraska four-star commit Cameron Brown, whom Ohio State has offered and hosted for an unofficial visit last weekend. But they've forged a strong bond as alumni of one of the top academic and athletic programs in the state of Missouri.
"It's just really cool seeing those guys because the brotherhood we have at our high school is so similar to what they cherish here," Turnure said. "It's awesome. They're great guys."
If Babb — or even Brown — eventually does choose the Buckeyes, as many expect to happen in the coming months, just know Turnure's advice and testimony of what goes on in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center played a rather large role in that decision.
Ohio State had a lot of interest early in the current recruiting process in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, Pine-Richland four-star quarterback Phil Jurkovec, but set its sights on Emory Jones after Jurkovec committed to Notre Dame in May 2016.
Despite his decision and eventually Jones' pledge, the staff has kept tabs on him and the Rams' offense in the meantime. That's how Jurkovec's teammate, three-star offensive tackle Andrew Kristofic, landed an offer from the Buckeyes on Monday night.
Thankful and excited to receive an offer from THE Ohio State University pic.twitter.com/GKXEDt704g— Andrew Kristofic (@AKristofic21) November 14, 2017
"It's a huge deal," Kristofic told Eleven Warriors. "Like coach Meyer told me, I've earned a scholarship to one of the best, if not the best school in the country."
The 6-foot-5, 255-pound Kristofic is considered the 60th-best offensive tackle and No. 588 prospect overall in the Class of 2019, as he helped Pine-Richland reach the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League Class 6A Championship Game this season. The Rams play Pittsburgh Central Catholic this Saturday at Heinz Field.
Kristofic — who holds offers from nearly a dozen programs such as Michigan State, Northwestern, Pittsburgh, Wisconsin and West Virginia — has been to campus twice before, most recently for the 39-38 win over Penn State.
"It was a great game," Kristofic said. "Awesome environment and atmosphere."
He also attended a one-day camp in June, where he met Meyer and offensive line coach Greg Studrawa, whom he calls at least once a week.
"He's a great coach," Kristofic said. "The biggest thing [I've learned from him] is attitude and the way to go about things at a school like Ohio State."
Because of that, the Buckeyes are among the early leaders in Kristofic's recruitment. He hopes to make it back to campus again soon.
Hoping to add at least one more defensive end alongside five-star Brenton Cox, Ohio State will host Avon, Connecticut, Old Farms three-star Casey Rogers for an official visit during the second weekend in December.
Ohio State official visit 12/8-12/10! #GoBucks pic.twitter.com/aIUlib43nq— Casey Rogers (@caseyrogers99) November 15, 2017
"[I'm looking forward to] just being on campus," Rogers told Eleven Warriors. "I love Ohio, so it's always great to be there."
The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Rogers is considered the 57th-best defensive end and No. 1,210 prospect overall in the Class of 2018, though he actually graduated high school earlier this year. But more on that in a second.
Rogers was an extremely talented lacrosse player at Syracuse Westhill and was committed to play for his father — an assistant coach — at Syracuse. But with few offers to play football at the next level, he decided to take a post-graduate year at Avon Old Farms.
"I've played both football and lacrosse my whole life," Rogers said, "but football gives me a feeling no other sport does."
Rogers only holds an offer from Western Michigan right now, but schools like Alabama, Boston College, Colorado, Connecticut, Penn State, Syracuse and West Virginia have all shown late interest. He'll take an official visit to Tuscaloosa the weekend after he's in Columbus.
Ohio State defensive line coach Larry Johnson and director of player personnel Mark Pantoni are leading the staff's pursuit of Rogers. They first met when he attended Friday Night Lights in late July and have maintained contact since.
"They have been saying how every game I play I am improving and that they are excited to have me on campus," Rogers said.
Rogers will undoubtedly be compared to his favorite player, current Buckeyes defensive end Sam Hubbard, who also played lacrosse in high school and turned down a scholarship to Notre Dame before choosing to play football at Ohio State. There's a great chance he follows in Hubbard's footsteps, too, if the Buckeyes miss out on four-star defensive ends Jayson Oweh and/or Tyreke Smith.
"Ohio State is a special place," Rogers said. "I was born in Columbus, and Ohio State is definitely a dream school for me."

1820 Peachtree Road NW | Buckhead | 404.809.3561 | @watershedatl | $20-$25 | B R P
This Smith Hanes-designed space serves epic Southern cuisine and never disappoints. Chef Zeb Stevenson, who worked under Jean-Georges Vongerichten, continues to add new items and improve on longtime favorites such as the fried chicken, pimento cheese and chocolate cake, using locally sourced ingredients. The elegant centerpiece bar and intimate banquettes only add to the allure of the highly acclaimed restaurant, owned in part by Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls. Take note: Wednesdays are legendary thanks to the famous friend chicken and biscuits special. Just ask Jennifer Lawrence.
930 Howell Mill Road NW | Westside | 404.796.8888 | @eightsushiatl | $10-$26 | R P
It's a family affair at Westside sushi house, Eight Sushi Lounge, where Executive Chef Handy Ho showcases traditional Japanese dishes with presentation that rivals an art gallery. Take in the brilliant wood interiors that are reminiscent of a high-end dojo and expect to find meticulously crafted bites of sushi, nigiri and sashimi. With a menu that includes beautifully crafted cocktails and sake, a bevy of rolls (try the filet mignon-topped Shinobi roll with crab salad and tempura crunch), and shareable treats like calamari ringlets and shrimp saku-saku, you're in for something truly special at this sushi hot spot.
88 W. Paces Ferry Road NW | Buckhead | 404.563.7799 | @stregisatl | $16-$24 | P
A custom mural of a phoenix rising from the ashes is the signature mark of this hotel bar where singles and guests of the hotel gather for the cocktails, food and see-and-be seen vibe. Start small with bites such as sweet-potato tots, kettle popcorn and housemade lamb meatballs, then nosh on dishes like the St. Regis burger, made with a short-rib and brisket blend and the roasted pear and Brie flatbread. Champagne, cocktails and fine wines are all part of the menu, but daytime beckons for one of three famous Bloody Marys. Our pick? The West Paces Mary, made with a unique blend of spices and a pickled green tomato garnish.
3376 Peachtree Road NE | Buckhead | 404.537.2828 | @del_friscos | $11-$45 | B R P
With a two-story home on Peachtree, complete with an indoor-outdoor bar on one of two covered patios, Del Frisco's Grille is the perfect after-work happy-hour destination. Get the good libations going with an order of the whimsical Sangria Pop (a sangria popsicle in a wine glass of white sangria); then share a round of cheesesteak eggrolls and ahi tacos before saddling up for the main course. Choice options include the two-fisted grille prime cheeseburger, Bay of Fundy salmon or any of the crispy flatbreads (wild mushroom, please!). Head back Saturdays and Sundays for red velvet Belgian waffles and a build-your-own Bloody Mary.
Multiple locations | @thebigketch | $5-$30 | R P
Fresh seafood and a hot crop of patrons abound at this coastal eatery, where crab and shrimp dip, crisp hush puppies and Basil-Blue Moon mussels start the night off right. From there, dive fork first into a variety of fish entrees and signature dishes such as the Mediterranean quinoa bowl, jumbo lump crabcakes and the seasonal hot buttered lobster roll (order immediately when it's available). In fact, this Buckhead go-to has caught on so much, the brand added a second location for the OTP set in Roswell. Don't miss the weekday Oyster Hour (4 to 6:30pm in Buckhead and 5 to 6pm in Roswell) when the sandy suckers are half off!
3290 Northside Parkway NW | Buckhead | 404.968.2700 | @localthree | $22-$32 | B R P
Foodies and locals alike flock to this hard-to-find gem for its upbeat atmosphere, craft-cocktail menu and, of course, killer bites. Chef-owner Chris Hall and Chef de Cuisine Ben Barth use local ingredients for their ever-changing seasonal dishes that leave us salivating for more. Prepare yourself and bring your A-game appetite for the rotating Hungry Man dinner, served in a cafeteria- style tray, which currently includes an Angus short-rib stroganoff with iceberg wedge salad and thin beans. Skip the weekend crowd and book a res on Monday nights when your server will flip a coin for a $1 bottle of wine. You win—it's a dollar. Game on!
3085 Piedmont Road | Buckhead | 404.262.0702 | @kymarestaurant | $26-$46 | R
Prepare to be swooned by Kyma—from the dazzling constellation display on the ceiling and stunning blue and white interiors to the fresh seafood imported daily and served to perfection. Chef Pano I. Karatassos changes the menu regularly but always keeps the signature favorites available. In fact, the most popular dish, the grilled octopus, even impresses A-listers like Tom Cruise, who reportedly said he would be back for more. Insider tip: Grab some friends and indulge in small mezze-style bites and creative libations like the Morpheus martini in the newly designed Octopus Lounge.
1099 Hemphill Ave. NW | Westside | 404.347.3874 | $13-$17 | P
The two-and-a-half-year-old cafe from mercurial, mysterious Antico Pizza founder Giovanni Di Palma, keeper of all things cheesy and delizioso, is just one component of his folkloric Little Italy. Tucked into a back corner of this culinary compound, the classic Italian eatery serves up specials like Sorrento lemon chicken, savory panini and Zuppa Di Pollo (an exceptional pearl-pasta chicken soup that's certain to cure whatever ails you). Round up the crew for a Sunday nosh fest, or hunker down on the adjacent patio for a quick picnic. Just make sure it's not Monday, when this spot is sadly chiuso (closed).
1170 Howell Mill Road | Westside | 404.968.2033 | @ormsbysatl | $6-$23 | B R
Ormsby's takes the traditional bar model and turns it on its head with a game selection that rivals the best toy store. Round up the crew and imbibe the night away with a selection of wine, beer and spirits while playing backgammon, bocce ball, darts, pool, shuffleboard and more. (You can even sign up to be in the official Atlanta Bocce League). After you've worked up a competitive sweat, reward yourself with pimento cheese and corn fritters, baked shrimp and crab dip, baja fish tacos and a bevy of sammies and hot dogs.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Taking up a suggestion from Pope Francis, Argentine Diego Maradona and other soccer stars past and present played an "Interreligious Match for Peace" and tolerance Sept. 1, drawing some 20,000 spectators to Rome's Olympic Stadium.
"The match is an occasion for raising funds for solidarity projects, but above all (for promoting) values that draw people together, no matter what their culture or religious creed," the pope told the participants and organizers earlier in the day, during a private audience at the Vatican.
He thanked those present for having "promptly followed my desire to see champions and coaches of various countries and diverse religions face each other in a sports match, to bear witness to feelings of fraternity and friendship."
"Soccer is a human phenomenon, and special," Pope Francis said. "A sports event is a highly symbolic act that helps show it is possible to build a culture of encounter and a world of peace, in which believers of diverse religions conserve their own identity while living in mutual respect."
"It's important that you give a good example both on and off the playing field," the pope told the athletes and organizers.
The players included the legendary Maradona, 53, who led Argentina to World Cup victory in 1986, and Roberto Baggio, 47, an Italian footballer inducted into his country's Football Hall of Fame in 2011 and named World Player of the Year by World Soccer magazine in 1993. Another player, Andriy Shevchenko of Ukraine, asked the pope to pray for his civil-war-torn country.
Maradona told reporters he was deeply moved when he met the pope.
"I hugged him, and I felt proud to be an Argentine," Maradona said. "After being far from the church, (I am) proud of returning to it after God took my mother. Today I am happy to be once again with the church, with Pope Francis, and to play for peace."
Maradona, who has a history of drug abuse and obesity, played for 90 minutes.
"It was a unique experience, and now let's all do something for peace and to combat world hunger," he said at the end of the match.
The pope did not attend the game but appeared in a video shown at the stadium.
"When people play as a team, competition, instead of being war, becomes a seed of peace," the pope, speaking in Spanish, told fans in the stadium and those watching live on television in Italy and Argentina.
Players representing the Pupi Onlus Foundation defeated those representing the Catholic agency Scholas Occurrentes, 6-3.
Pope Francis established Scholas Occurrentes as an educational agency within the Pontifical Academy of Sciences to foster "social integration" of the needy and promote a "culture of encounter" through sports, the arts and technology.
The Pupi Onlus Foundation was founded by Javier Zanetti of Argentina, a former soccer player and captain of Inter Milan.
Ticket sale profits from the match were to go to the "Alternative of Life" project aiding disadvantaged children in Buenos Aires.

home for the holidays: larkspur in toronto
When Lauren approached us about doing a post on local holiday traditions in Toronto, we both thought we'd like to focus on independently owned businesses in our neighborhood, Parkdale - a sort of guide to finding the best holiday staples like baked goods, gift ideas, holiday dresses or spots to sneak away to and enjoy your favorite warm beverage. Toronto is a city which puts a lot of importance on locally owned business, and our neighborhood in particular is incredibly supportive of young entrepreneurs, so it was hard to narrow it down, but here is what we finally came up with.
Alex: If you are looking for some gift ideas, holiday decorations or just a cozy sweater, you can never go wrong with Public Butter. They carry a lot of wearable and affordable vintage clothing, housewares and furniture. It is always one of the first places we go if we are looking for a piece of furniture that our apartments are missing. During the holiday season they decorate the store adorably with ornaments hanging from the ceiling and you can even buy mason jars filled with those cute little ornaments to decorate your very own tree. It is a great place to find a present you may not otherwise think of like record players, vintage banners and old tea sets.
Meaghan: One of my guiltiest pleasures, sweets-wise, is donuts. This neighborhood is packed with great cafes that offer amazing baked treats, but nothing feels more like I'm treating myself, than a donut from Glory Hole. If you go, and you're having trouble choosing (there are so many kinds, and they all look so good), you can't go wrong with the Elvis With Marshmallow. Or, if you're vegetarian (the Elvis has bacon on it), the owner personally recommends the chocolate pistachio! I think anyone walking into any holiday party with a box of these would be a sure fire hit!
Coriander Girl is right next door to Glory Hole and is worth the stop, every time. Shop owner Alison Westlake not only makes the most beautiful floral arrangements, but has perfectly curated a collection of trinkets like vintage tea cups, painted mason jar vases and soaps and candles, all in the prettiest blush tones. In an effort to be festive while keeping with her favorite color palette, Alison is selling gorgeous pink poinsettias, which could brighten up any room. If you ever stop in, take the time to say hello, because she is the loveliest person and will make you feel like you're old friends right off the bat. And make sure to say hello to Harry, her handsome furry co-worker (Harry is a rabbit!).
Meaghan: The Mascot is one of many amazing cafes in Parkdale. I personally love them because of their endless tea list and delicious soy lattes, but it helps that they have a giant blue velvet couch, and that they sell magazines like Lula, Frankie and Russh (among others) which I could sit and spend hours browsing.
Toronto is a huge city and while we chose to focus on our one little corner of it, there are probably a hundred more places I can think of off the top of my head which are worth visiting. Each neighborhood has its very own flavor and is amazing in its own way, and it's always worth strolling for hours to take it all in.
Thanks ladies! Be sure to check out Alex and Meaghan's blog and soon-to-be-store Larkspur Shoppe. And as promised, the winner from last week's necklace giveaway is Katrina, congrats!

Ok, to say there's "nothing I hate more" is a little bit extreme but it's not too far off.
Everyone sing with me now:
Or if an item has moved, it is probably only one cabinet over…easy to find if you just.open.your.eyes. (I'm really not bitter…it only sounds that way; I blame you for reading it with an insinuating tone.)
Still wet? Seriously? It's been air-drying for the past 8+ hours…I'm pretty sure you can put it away, or at the very least use that dishtowel and wipe the drop of water lingering on the edge and put it away.
Tis true: now the dirty dishes from the sink and the counter are now in the dishwasher, but now I have a bunch of clean dishes in the sink and on the counter.
I suppose I will keep them.
I pray you do too. And please know that I tried to train them in the nuances of clean & dirty dishes; I'm praying that it's all turned around by the time they get to you.

White sage
White sage is also called Indian incense. It is made from the silver-white leaves of the Salvia Apiana plant and grows on the coast of California. It is a sacred herb used by shamans or indigenous peoples in North America for centuries for purification ceremonies. Hereby not only the living environment, but also the mind with all her thoughts is cleaned. White Sage has an intense spicy smell. Scientific research has shown that 94% of the bacteria have broken down after burning this herb.
Wash and dry hands. To stimulate blood circulation, release muscle knots and let energy channels flow freely again, it is important that the oil is spreadable. Our oil is very suitable for this. It is often appreciated when the oil is warmed-over.

Out of the Darkness, Congo Unites – Movie Trailer
How is it possible that the greatest human suffering over the last two decades has happened without us knowing or even caring?
"Out of the Darkness, Congo Unites" takes us to the precarious eastern border of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Over the last twenty years, this region has seen more chaos and death than any place on the planet. War, tribal animosity, a complexity of rebel groups, extreme poverty, and sexual violence make life more than challenging. All of this is shielded by almost complete impunity. Yet, this is the region for a student peace and reconciliation movement called, "Congo Unites." A five-day intensive conference sets the backdrop for this documentary to examine the difficult life these students have been born into. During the conference the young leaders will be challenged to lay down their long-held prejudice and tribal identities and be encouraged to embrace the idea of unity as "Congolese." The harsh details of Congo's turbulent history and chaotic current events, including a potentially explosive election in 2016, can't deflate the contagious hope found in the young Congolese who are determined to see a better Congo become a reality now.

[Editor's Note: This is part six and the final article about almost seven hours of meeting between the Commission work and regular sessions.]
By Mary Alice Murphy
To continue from part 5 of the two Grant County Commission meetings on Jan. 22 and 24, 2019, which can be read at http://www.grantcountybeat.com/news/news-articles/48982-grant-county-commission-work-and-regular-sessions-jan-22-and-24-2019-part-5 , commissioners began with resolutions.
The commissioners had already approved the OMA 2019 resolution at the regular meeting and the resolution on the bond issuance.
They went into appointments for various agencies and entities at the work session.
The first one was a member for the Southwest County Commission Alliance. County Manager Charlene Webb said that the joint-powers agreement for the alliance includes a member from Grant County.
Commissioner Harry Browne asked what the advantages of membership for the county were.
Commission Chairman Billy Billings said because it is a coalition of six counties, it brings more weight to issues they agree to promote. "It's often a shared interest, as when discussion ensued on the closure of roads in the Gila National Forest. It actually helped, because the forest opened some roads back up. More counties have more impact. It's the four southwest counties, plus Socorro and Sierra counties."
Browne said one issue that came up was a "misguided lawsuit on the Travel Management Plan, that we didn't participate in. Membership doesn't cost much, but I haven't seen any advantages."
Webb noted that she had never received any requests for travel reimbursements. Billings said maybe there should be more regular reporting on what happens in the Alliance meetings.
Commission Javier Salas saw the group as a good opportunity to network with officials from the other counties.
At the regular meeting, Billings was chosen as the member and Commissioner Chris Ponce agreed to be the alternate.
During the work session, discussion on the Grant County Water Commission membership had three interested parties. Browne said he was interested. Billings said Salas and Ponce had already expressed interest because the Regional Water Project was in their districts. Salas said it was part of his platform and Ponce said he was interested, too. They were approved with Salas as the member and Ponce the alternate.
For the members of the Southwest Solid Waste Authority, Webb said she would like to remain a member. "We need to replace former Commissioner Brett Kasten and we need two alternates, which right now are General Services Director Randy Villa and Community Development and Planning Director Michael "Mischa" Larisch."
Commissioner Alicia Edwards said she was interested in the position, but at the regular meeting, she ceded to Browne to replace Kasten, because she would have an ongoing conflict. Villa and Larisch remained as alternates.
For the New Mexico Central Arizona Project Entity, Billings and Salas requested to be member and alternate. They were approved at the regular meeting.
To provide membership on the New Mexico County Insurance Authority Pool Board, Webb said she would like to remain a member and Edwards offered to be the alternate. They were approved at the regular meeting.
For the Workforce Investment Act Elected Officials Board, Edwards said she would like to step away from the position, as the travel was too hard, and she had only managed to attend one. Ponce expressed interest as did Salas. Ponce will be the member and Salas the alternate.
Larisch asked at the work session for approval of the grant agreement for the $37,500 the county had paid up front to develop an Asset Management Plan. The agreement was approved at the regular meeting.
At the work session, Judy O'Loughlin, co-chair of the Grant County Community Health Council, asked the commissioners to consider support for two bills going through the legislative process – one to update the wording of the Health Council Act and another for funding health councils throughout the state and tribal areas.
She presented the history and some accomplishments of the local health council. It held its first meeting in 1999. One of its biggest successes was the establishment of Corre Caminos as a district transportation service. She noted that the Grant County Community Health Council had one of the last full-time coordinators through last September, when funding became an issue. "We are currently parked in Grant County, which is our fiscal agent. I attended a call of the New Mexico Alliance of Health Councils. Chris DeBolt attends the meetings in person from our county. The key is not to duplicate efforts. Our Steering Committee still meets periodically to keep the council going."
Edwards noted that the Health Council Community Assessment is a source of data for just about every organization in town.
O'Loughlin said the assessment was completed last summer, but without a coordinator, a final report had not yet been complied. Mentioning the earlier hearing on low-income property tax rebates and the programs for low-income individuals and veterans, she said the Health Council could hold a forum on the issue.
The bills to keep an eye out for are House Bill 137, the Tribal and Health Councils bill with the verbiage change and HB 67, the funding for health councils bill. They have both received do pass recommendations in their first committees.
"As Alicia said, the community assessment is huge," O'Loughlin said. "Many grants in the area cite the data from the assessment."
Webb said the Department of Health also requires deliverables for the small amount of funding now dispersed to health councils. "Grant County has been fortunate to have a full-time coordinator. It's hard to operate on $4,300 a year. I urge the commissioners to support this resolution."
Assessor Raul Turrieta said he sits on the Native American Policy Committee for New Mexico Counties. "I can help."
At the regular meeting, commissioners approved the resolution of support.
Commissioners also considered support of reform to the low-income property tax rebate to change language from "shall," which requires counties to consider the ordinance every odd-numbered year, to "may" consider. Webb recommended support, and it was approved at the regular meeting.
Larisch asked for permission to apply for funding from the Colonias Infrastructure Fund for the Tyrone ADA compliance project. It was approved at the regular meeting. He said the CIF Board required a resolution allowing him to apply.
A resolution creating an agreement between the county and the Southwest New Mexico Council of Governments, plus naming a representative was discussed at the work session and approved at the regular meeting, with Larisch continuing as representative and Browne and Edwards being alternates.
As the Grant County Health Care Claims Board, commissioners approved at the regular meeting the total of $5,376.28 to Gila Regional Medical Center, with $696.25 of it going to GRMC ambulance services. Billings said he was happy to see lower numbers than in the recent past.
"We have a full-time RN at the Detention Center," Webb said. "That is reducing our calls to EMS."
In county reports at the work session, Detention Center Administrator Mike Carillo recognized two new hires, which were selected as the employees of the month. He pointed out a new graph that shows a reduction in numbers of inmates since October. "Traditionally we have a spike around holiday time, but we saw a drop this year. Tu Casa started in October and has seen 537 encounters. When I saw the drop, I talked to Dr. Bowen. He said they have been using the CareLinks and if any inmates are released from the jail, they were going to Tu Casa for treatment. If I provide the names of our persons in custody, Bowen will tell me if they show up for treatment. We hope it will reduce recidivism."
He said the numbers run fairly consistently for male and female inmates, but he has seen the numbers dropping. "I hope the resources we provide are helping decrease our numbers."
Edwards thanked Carillo for his work on getting Tu Casa going.
Browne said he had heard in Santa Fe that they were starting a program, Just Health. "I hope they will reach out to you. It helps detainees connect with after care after they are released from detention."
Carillo said it sounded similar to the Stepping Up program being developed. It will address getting inmates to resource providers upon release.
Webb said a report on the Stepping Up Program would be given in February. "It's why I feel it is critical to the county."
Edwards said the Just Health would be complementary to Stepping Up. "One of the challenges they've had is the software is not compatible with some of the detention centers. They have to have the software connection. They are looking at how to fix it."
"We're looking at new software, too," Webb said.
Road Superintendent Earl Moore said the department was "business as usual, addressing resident complaints and trying to get patching done."
Villa said State Forestry is putting on training classes for the volunteer fire departments. "We had a fire on LS Mesa. It was a struggle getting out there with the muddy roads, but the Pinos Altos Fire Department headed it up and got it out. There was also a small grass fire near Whiskey Creek, which the VFD put out. Corre Caminos has two new buses with wheelchair ramps. We are getting quotes for fencing for the Detention Center."
Larisch said work was continuing on a renovation for Whiskey Creek VFD. "I submitted the application for funding for Little Walnut Road reconstruction. The airport request for proposal for architecture of the terminal building has come out. The federal grant has timelines, which are tight. There may be some meeting requirements for the commission. $32,000 is our match of a $600,000 project. We will be making changes at Bandoni and Cottage San so flooding doesn't damage property. The North Hurley Plan final design is coming. We will apply for funding for that. We have 75 percent of the plan set, which includes drainage and road work. Hachita Fire Department is anticipating a building. It will be fully paid for by fire funds."
Billings asked about FAA funding for the airport, and if it would remain the same if the air service has more than 10,000 enplanements a year. He was told it would remain, because enplanements have exceeded 10,000.
Webb said Browne and Treasurer Steve Armendariz had received awards for the risk awareness program, which brought a 31 percent reduction in multi-line claims. "Hats off the county employees for achieving this."
Sheriff Frank Gomez was the first to give an elected official's report at the regular meeting. "We are developing plans and visions for the future. We are doing interviews to fill vacancies. Many are already certified. We hope they will continue to serve Grant County." He said he wants the department to improve in transparency and accountability. "I have a list of goals. One is to expand the D.A.R.E. program. If we reach just one child, it's worth it. I intend to provide enhanced training through working with Western New Mexico University. I encourage my staff to pursue higher education. We are tracking 106 categories of crime. In domestic violence, we had nine in December, and so far, 10 in January. We're not just about arresting. We want compassion in the department. For instance, a dog was lost in Turkey Creek. Someone found it and brought it to the sheriff's deputy who reunited the dog with an elderly couple, who were so appreciative. They offered us a $100 reward, but we couldn't take it. We suggested they donate it to the High Desert Humane Society, and they agreed."
He introduced his Deputy Sheriff Capt. Jess Watkins.
Gomez continued by saying his department has five vacancies with two more on the books for retirement.
Salas asked how the department would meet its in-service training requirements with taking people from the line.
"We are running three to four on a shift," Gomez said. "We have three on leave, and we are short 10. We have skilled training officers here who can do the training. We have steps. We have changed the process completely. We do a nine-week program for training new officers. Manager Webb has been very supportive of our changes and has helped me a lot."
Salas said he hears a lot about a potential narcotics division. "People don't feel safe in their homes. It's crime that derives from drug use."
"We are restructuring the office, because of the shortage," Gomez said. "We would like to get two more officers. Patrol is our bread and butter. We are in communication with the HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas) program. As soon as we are fully staffed, you will see narcotics officers. We want the public to know we will be pro-active other than patrol stops and drug interdictions."
Edwards said she was pleased to hear about the changes and the goals. "What is your relationship with State Police? It seems to me that State Police could help more on the state roads."
"In the past state police used to attend all crashes on state roads," Gomez said. "Now we are. I would like to share the burden with state police on state roads and have the sheriff's department attending crashes on county roads. We are meeting to make it better for both of us."
Edwards said in her opinion, the sheriff's department should be handling residential issues.
"I called a deputy," Billings said. "There was what I thought was a baby deer dead in the road. I stopped and it was far from dead. When the deputy came out and put it out of its misery, I asked him about the new sheriff. He told me: 'I would follow him anywhere.'"
Turrieta said Mike Burns the new sheriff's department public information officer, had asked him about grants, as well as questions on taxes and assessments.
"I'm so glad to have my employees," Turrieta continued. "I appreciate them." He said Andra would be handling the 65 and older campaign to let them know about valuation freezes and head-of-household programs for which they might be eligible. It's time to render livestock numbers, which include cattle and horses. "You have to apply for any programs." He noted that his office is getting more business valuations. For manufactured homes, owners have to call his office sometime in January through the end of February to say they are still in the county. He said that the veteran exemption is $4,000 off or if they are fully disabled, they pay zero tax.
"I am losing an employee who does field work" Turrieta said. "I need someone who is good with statistics and numbers. We will begin parcel mapping with Bohannon Huston for the parcel fabric. Taxation and Revenue wants us to network with other such projects. We have rescanned more than 200 subdivision plats. We will have weekly meetings."
He said he was elected to the board of New Mexico Counties. "We have a lot of issues to address. We will meet next on Feb. 16 to address legislative items. I am running for the executive committee. I will keep everyone updated."
Armendariz said his office has collected 61.21 percent of 2018 property tax. For the county portion, the office has collected since Dec. 20, $114,152.03 of the county portion. "We are a little under $2 million for all entities. Tax and Revenue is still in our office. We have one representative who is doing better than three people. This man had 180 accounts, and he's down to 40 left. Just yesterday, we collected $17,000. I don't know how he tracks them down, but he does. We continue to get returned mail, but he's good at tracking down the extra-long-term delinquent taxpayers. We're looking at the end of March or first of April for a tax sale."
In Commissioner reports, Edwards said she had a brief comment. "Last July, we decided to have the hospital remain local. We said, if the community wanted the hospital to remain open, it would have to step up and support it. They have a shortage of volunteers at the hospital. They are the first ones people see. They are friendly and helpful. The hospital would be a great place to volunteer."
The commissioners went into executive session and adjourned from there without taking action.

We are so excited! We have collected a lot of books so far and had several donations to help with shipping costs. I just took our first box of 25 books to the post office. The box has a little bit of everything in it…books by Max Lucado, Franklin Graham, Billy Graham, Bruce Wikinson, Lynn Austin's Refiner's Fire Series, Dee Henderson's Uncommon Hero's Series and some children's books, etc. They are all in great condition and we are just thrilled to be able to send these books to the NAMB Appalachian Regional Ministry in Hurricane, WV.
We hope to be able to send a box of books each month for as long as the donations come in. We thank those who have donated books and money and look forward to getting the word out to others in the church about this ministry. Let's keep it going strong!

If you are shopping for a non-toxic crib, you probably have lots of questions. Questions like:
- If a crib manufacturer says that all their cribs are non-toxic, what does that mean? How can you tell if a crib is truly non-toxic?
- If a crib manufacturer assures you that there is nothing to worry about because all their cribs are CPSC and ASTM compliant, are they right?
- Do you have to worry about lead in a crib, even in a so-called non-toxic crib?
- Is formaldehyde a big deal? Where does it come from? How do you avoid formaldehyde? Is it regulated?
- Why does a crib smell? What are VOCs exactly?
First of all, if you are asking these questions, you are way ahead of the game just for asking them. Instead of feeling frustrated, you should take a moment to pat yourself on the back. You are well on your way to choosing the right non-toxic crib for your baby. You have done lots of research already and are about to learn even a lot more in a few seconds.
Six years ago, when I was shopping for a crib, I was in your shoes. However, I could not find much help either on the Internet or offline. I was so frustrated with shopping for safe baby products that it ultimately became my full-time occupation. I have forgone my career in finance to help you protect your family from potentially harmful substances and, ultimately, to enjoy the peace of mind that you are making the right decisions for your family.
Now let's address these questions.
The crib manufacturer says that all their cribs are non-toxic, but what does that mean? How do you know if a crib is truly non-toxic?
The term "non-toxic" is not defined by any government agency and, thus, is not a legally regulated term. In addition, there is no law that would prohibit a crib manufacturer calling their cribs non-toxic. This means that the term "non-toxic" is virtually meaningless.
Some manufacturers seemingly use it as just as a marketing term as opposed to using the term with the meaning we all wish it would have.
In researching hundreds of cribs, I found that sometimes manufacturers use the term "non-toxic" simply to mean that the amount of lead is in compliance with the latest government regulations. While this is laudable, don't they all have to comply with the latest government regulations? (More about lead below.)
So in order to know whether a crib is truly non-toxic, it is necessary to look behind the marketing claim and ask manufacturers the types of questions set forth herein.
If a manufacturer says that their cribs are CPSC and/or ASTM compliant, what does that mean?
If a crib manufacturer assures you that there is nothing to worry about because all their cribs are CPSC and ASTM compliant, are they right?
Unfortunately, not.
With the exception of lead and phthalates, the CPSC (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) and the ASTM International (the American Society for Testing and Materials) are focused on crib structural safety, not so much on safety from the standpoint of harmful chemicals that can be found in wood finish, wood composites, and glue. (Please remember that I do not hold myself out as an expert in structural safety, and I strongly encourage you to do your own research into structural safety, something you should certainly do.)
So, yes, it is a great thing that their cribs are compliant with CPSC and ASTM International standards. In fact, the latest regulations, 16 CFR 1219 (for full-sized cribs) and 16 CFR 1220 (for non-full-sized cribs), adopted on June 28, 2011, have been a big improvement. These new safety requirements resulted from infant deaths caused by cribs with drop-down sides. But again, please do your own research here.
Do I have to worry about lead even in a crib marketed as being non-toxic?
You might have heard that lead in paint has been banned and may have concluded that lead is no longer something we have to worry about as consumers. However, this is not entirely true.
The Federal Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) lowered the permissible concentration of lead in paint from 0.06 percent (600 ppm) to the new limit of 0.009 percent (90 ppm) effective August 14, 2009. (source)
This is important to know in case you decide to get a used non-toxic crib – try to get one that was made pursuant to the new standards, i.e. it was manufactured after August 14, 2009. (But, again, older cribs may not comply with the latest thinking regarding structural safety. Please do your own research. I realize that kids are inherently expensive, but a good rule of thumb is that it's probably best to buy a new non-toxic crib or used one made after 2011. Skimp on hand-me-down clothes, etc. if you need to. The government changed its regulations in 2011 for a reason, folks.)
Once in a while, we still hear about lead in toys, kids' furniture, and cribs; most of those items come from abroad. For example, just recently, in May of 2015, the Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled Baby's Dream cribs and furniture manufactured in Chile between March 2014 and March 2015 due to a violation of lead paint standards.
Try to make sure that your furniture's maker has sufficient controls in place to assure the furniture is made to current standards. Call and ask them – you may or may not get a straight answer, but we have to let them know we are watching them, and that we care about these issues. And if you get an evasive answer, well, you can draw your own conclusions as to whether you still want to buy their product.
How do I avoid formaldehyde? Is it regulated? Is a big deal?
Unfortunately, very few companies manufacture wooden furniture with solid wood anymore; instead, they use engineered or composite wood, such as plywood or medium density fiberboard (MDF) or particleboard, made by gluing lots of small pieces of wood together. As you can imagine, it takes a lot of glue to do this. And, you guessed it! The glue usually contains formaldehyde. For this reason, it is best to buy a crib (or other furniture) made of 100% solid wood.
In 1992, California determined that formaldehyde is a potent toxin. The California Air Resource Board (CARB), a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency, regulates formaldehyde emissions in composite wood.
Recently, the California Environmental Protection Agency came up with a stricter standard, called CARB II, which set forth the following limits on formaldehyde emissions. For hardwood plywood veneer core and hardwood plywood composite core, the standard prohibits formaldehyde in amounts greater than 0.05 parts per million ("ppm"); for particleboard, it is 0.09 ppm; and for medium density fiberboard (MDF), it is 0.11 ppm. Often plywood or MDF is used to make mattress supports in cribs and the bottoms of dresser drawers. (source)
In addition, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified formaldehyde as "carcinogenic to humans," based on nose and throat cancers in working populations. For more information about formaldehyde, visit here.
So, at very least, make sure that your crib is CARB-II compliant. You can find this information even if you don't live in California; because California is one of the largest economies in the world, most manufacturers create their products to conform to California rules and regulations. You can call the manufacturer directly, or you can retain me as your consultant and I can do that for you.
Why does a non-toxic crib smell?
If your crib smells of chemicals, that is because of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They are a large group of toxic chemicals that include acetone, benzene, ethylene glycol, formaldehyde, and methylene chloride, all of which easily evaporate at room temperature, in a process known as "off-gassing."
With the exception of formaldehyde, there are no helpful regulations regarding VOCs in nursery furniture.
VOCs can be found in a crib's lacquer, paint, glue, and/or its composite wood. Exposure to high levels of VOCs has been linked with eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, worsening of asthma, cancer, liver damage, kidney damage, and central nervous system damage.
Scientists have not determined what amount constitutes a "safe" dose of VOCs. Keep in mind that babies are much more vulnerable to VOCs because they need much more air per body weight. An infant takes 40-60 breaths per minute, whereas a healthy adult breathes about 12-16 times a minute.
Also, bear in mind that when scientists study whether a chemical is dangerous to health, they ordinarily focus on the health effects of a single chemical, and usually do not study them in connection with exposure to other chemicals. As a result, there is virtually nothing known about the health effects of exposures to combinations of chemicals, which can often happen in the presence of multiple sources of VOCs.
To avoid exposure to VOCs, ask whether the crib has received Greenguard certification. Greenguard is a company that was acquired by UL Environment (a division of Underwriters Laboratories) in 2011. GREENGUARD certification helps manufacturers create and helps buyers identify products and materials used inside homes and buildings that have low chemical emissions, improving the quality of the air in which the products are used. The UL Environment laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment to determine total volatile organic compounds. It also sometimes tests for individual VOC's. They have two standards: Greenguard Certified and Greenguard Gold (formerly known as "Greenguard Children & Schools"). The latter is a stricter standard.
In conclusion, let's summarize what you have learned today about shopping for a non-toxic crib.
- The word "non-toxic" does not mean much.
- CPSC and ASTM compliance generally refers to the structural safety of a crib, with the exception of lead and phthalates.
- A solid wood crib is a better choice than a composite wood crib. If you have to buy a composite wood crib, look for CARB II certified.
- Lead is not fully banned. Look for 16 CFR 1303 compliant cribs. In my opinion, cribs made in the US or Europe might be a safer option in terms of lead.
- VOCs are not regulated. Look for Greenguard Gold certification or natural linseed oil finish, or buy it unfinished.

I'm not a big fan of Elf on a Shelf. Even though it originated in Marietta, Ga., and I should be proud a local woman created a new Christmas tradition with her mom, I just think it's creepy.
If you are unfamiliar with the concept, their website describes the Elf on the Shelf as "a special scout elf sent from the North Pole to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists."
Basically you buy the doll, give it a name, and he "flies" to the North Pole every night to tell Santa what you did. And there are rules. The elf can't be touched and an elf cannot speak or move while anyone in the house is awake. His job, to watch and listen. Sounds like he works for the NSA.
But this certainly isn't the oddest Christmas tradition out there. All over the world there are customs that we as Americans would think bizarre, and one has even been influenced by an American company.
Since poultry is rare in Japan, there's a new custom in the Asian nation of ordering chicken from the fast food chain KFC. That's right, Kentucky Fried Chicken. KFC began advertising its chicken as an important part of the Japanese holiday season several decades ago and now that country has embraced the fried delicacy at Christmas. Customers reserve their buckets months in advance, and those who put off buying their's until Christmas Eve have to wait in lines that can last for blocks outside the restaurant.
An offensive one in the Netherlands is Zwarte Piet, or Black Peter. He is Santa's slave who abducts children that misbehave, taking them back to Spain. Apparently that it where Santa and Peter spend their off-season. Who knew? The Dutch even dress up as Black Peter, along with black face and Afro wigs, to accompany Santa. After being criticized for being racially insensitive Peter's backstory has changed, saying his blackface is merely the result of chimney soot. That still doesn't explain the Afro.
There's an old midwinter custom in Wales called Mari Lwyd, which means "gray mare," and is currently made of a horse's skull attached to a pole. The tradition involves the arrival of the horse and its party at a pub, where they sing several introductory verses. Then people inside and the party outside exchange challenges and insults in rhyme. At the end of the "battle," the outside party enters with another song. A festive kind of bar fight.
In Sweden residents build a gigantic Yule goat in the town square of Gävle, but it doesn't last long. Every year arsonists burn the 42 foot hay structure to the ground. This year officials are hopeful the giant goat will last until Christmas, since they soaked the animal in anti-flammable liquid. At press time, the goat was still there.
The children of Barcelona are taught an odd song, that they sing to painted logs. The kids take care of, and then beat, a Tio de Nadal log while asking it to poop them presents. These joyful innocent young ones sing this song to the chunks of wood: "S**t log, s**t nougats, hazelnuts and cottage cheese, if you don't s**t well, I'll hit you with a stick, s**t log!" I can't make this stuff up.
But by far the scariest tradition comes out of Austria. The Christmas season starts there on December 5th with Krampusnacht Krampus, St. Nick's demonic polar opposite. This goat-horned devil shakes rusty chains and sticks at passing children. According to the legend, naughty kids are snatched by Krampus and dragged to his mountain lair.
I guess that irritating elf doesn't sound so bad after all. I think I'll just stick with the traditions I grew up with. Because there's nothing odd about erecting a live tree in my living room, or having a fat man, thousands of miles from his home, coming down my chimney to bring gifts, and all he wants from me in the middle of the night is a cookie or two. Duh.


text: The white world of the American West at the beginning of the California Gold Rush was overwhelmingly male, with estimates that for every woman in the territory there were over twelve men. Although this number gradually balanced out through the 1850s, and subsequent gold rushes such as the Klondike Rush in Alaska were never quite as segregated, women were seen as "other" in the West well into the 20th century. While many women capitalized on new, looser social mores to make their own destiny by working in the mines or operating businesses they could never have owned alone back east, most of the women who eventually made their way west did so as helpmeets to the men and symbols of a return to social order. A woman in the West could earn her husband a lot of money with her homemaking skills like laundry or baking, and men saw marriage as not only a necessary emotional or physical contract but also a good economic investment. As large numbers of women arrived in boomtowns, they formed groups very similar to those that existed back East, such as temperance societies and church social groups, and worked to tone down the social behaviors of rowdy miners. Prostitutes, who for a time were the most numerous female group in the West, were the one exception to this trend. By 1850, San Francisco alone had over 2,000 prostitutes, some of whom were elite and mixed with the city's burgeoning high society, but most of whom were simply good-time girls, providing sexual favors to lonely and often violent miners in small tents or shacks for meager earnings. While the West was symbolic of opportunity and frontiers for many who travelled there, including thousands of white women, it was also bound by the morals of its time. Women were accorded many new freedoms as long as they agreed to abide by the existing social contract.

It is an annual event here in the Valley of the Sun, an Arizona Republic article on the snowbirds. Some of it is thanks towards the visitors for all the money we bring but some of it is snarky about driving, crowds, etc. There even is the 'complaint' that we always seem to have a smile on our face. We thought we would update and publish our "Snowbird Code of Conduct" in response to this article.
During our stay in the Valley of the Sun we will try to only:
- drive during the day during the week; leaving rush hour and the weekends to the locals.
- eat out for breakfast or lunch during the day during the week; leaving evening and weekend meals to the locals. This leaves happy hours to the locals because it is hard to be happier than being retired and living in a nice warm place for the winter. We rarely eat out for supper because we don't like to drive after dark :-)
- shop at Walmart and Target and grocery stores during the day during the week and never before a big holiday; leaving the evening hours and weekends to the locals for the big crowds and long lines.
- go to movies during the day during the week; a few times we have been the only people in our movie of choice.
- sightsee during the day during the week; generally not a problem because the locals never see the sights where they live anyway :-)
And finally, we always have a smile on our face; it is easy in this lifestyle, so what if it is one of their complaints.
We realize that if you are still working and driving in rush hour traffic, waiting in line to eat, suffering long lines at Wal-Mart that the locals need something to complain about. We know with our 'Snowbird Code of Conduct' they are not complaining about us.
We are heading to Tucson on Wednesday to pick up our new rig. We will take a couple of days there moving from one house to the other and then be back in Goodyear for the remainder of our stay here.
Till next time,
Bob and Jo

TONTITOWN (KFSM) — Tontitown is remembering the life of a founder of a local restaurant.
Edna Zulpo opened Mama Z's Cafe in 1988, giving the town a taste of her famous homemade pasta.
It's been a lunch and dinner time favorite ever since.
Her daughter, Julie Zulpo Bowling said she was known for being a people person and making sure there was a seat at the table for everyone.
"She just had a sweetheart and a big heart," Bowling said. "It just made everyone feel at home, it's like they were coming home to eat and they would say 'oh this taste just like grandma's or this taste just like my moms' and that just made her feel good because that was her dream to do that."
Mama Z started the restaurant with her daughter Lisa in 1988. On opening day, there were lines out the door of people waiting to try her famous homemade pasta.
"Of course the pasta was her main thing," she said. "It was all about the pasta, and she liked making people happy because they were like this is really good pasta because everybody was used to eating store bought pasta and this was homemade, and there's a big difference, and she knew that."
Besides feeding the people in Tontitown, Mama Z also loved to sew. She made the quilts that were sold at the Tontitown Grape Festival, with the money being donated to her church.
"She really enjoyed that more than anything she loved to sew and I never did get a chance to learn from her I wasn't patient enough I'm kinda sad I didn't get to learn from her she really enjoyed that," Bowling said.
While Bowling says her family will miss her, she knows the legacy she has created in Tontitown will live on for a long time.
"I was very fortunate to have her as long as we did and I'm very grateful for that, and I think there's a lot of people she crossed paths with and touched in a very special way and I don't think she'll ever be forgotten, and that means a lot to me," Bowling said.
Bowling said Mama Z was strong in her faith and active member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church.
If you want to try her famous pasta, you can visit the cafe Tuesday-Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. or 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Brought up by jai-tech a short time ago.
For example, the Superfecta is often a consolation payout. Knowing that, is there something you can do with your bets to take advantage?
Are there certain combos which, though still rather likely, are still more prone to result in a consolation? And, if so, how might you bet it?
Let's assume you expect a 7-1-5-x, in a $3,000 pool. What are the relative advantages of covering 7-1-5-all vs. 7-1-5-yourchoice? If you pick the first 3, you might cash 5 consolation tickets.
Bear in mind also that, because it's a consolation payoff, you probably won't be talking to the tax man.
Food for thought.
