D'Angel lifts voice against atrocities
"Inhumane and heartless" is how D'Angel is describing recent crimes against the nation's women and children.
"When I see these gruesome crimes I think 'what's next'?," she told the Jamaica Observer. "I'm a God-fearing person so I believe in the scriptures, mi know the Bible a fulfil, there is no love in society, people nuh have nuh heart. How would you feel if someone did that to your family member? I have a son so mi naah go turn a blind eye because it never reach my door step. I know I'm a voice for the voiceless so it matters when public figures speak up," she continued.
On August 28, 33-year-old Allisha Francis and her 10-year-old son, Teco Jackson, were attacked and chopped several times and pronounced dead at hospital. Also that day, a female corpse with a slashed throat was discovered in a cooler by police in Mandeville; the body is yet to be identified. A suspect in the murder, Linton Stephenson, was found dead in his home on Thursday.
The week before, the partially burnt body of 14-year-old Arnett Gardens resident Yetanya Francis was found after she went missing the night prior, reportedly to purchase food.
D'Angel said a holistic effort is needed to end these acts.
"We have to work together as a country; the government, the police...we need the police to be more vigilant too," she said. "More undercover policing is needed in Jamaica, put them in the buses and in the taxis. Teenagers and kids have to listen to their parents too. It nuh matter what, they don't deserve to be killed, but it is important to listen to your parents. Walk in groups, be careful of the taxis you go in."
D'Angel, given name Michelle Downer, does not speak from an uninformed space. She recalled her own days of being in dangerous situations.
"I was once abused in a relationship, it never defined me or scarred me. It's how you come out of it hat makes a difference. It could have turned out differently, I didn't have to be here but I survived."
This experience inspired the singjay to start the We Can Survive campaign last year, fuelled by the accompanying song produced by Sons of Spoon Records. The movement has since slowed down due to lack of funding and the artiste's busy career, but she intends to change that.
"I was targeting schools through forums and we wanted to have guest speakers to really speak to the ones affected. I'm going to pick it up again especially with all that is happening now."
D'Angel recently returned from New York where she held a release party for the song I'm Blessed, produced by Queenie of QMIA productions.
"Everything has been amazing, Music has always been my journey and I will never stop. These songs show females in the industry that you don't have to sing lewd songs to get recognised, I opened the doors for that when I first came out with Living Uptown. I'm just staying focused and I will continue to do real music because nothing else will sit well with me."

Lee Hyori Blames "Excessive Greed" for Styling Mishap for "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"
Singer Lee Hyori posted a funny and embarrassing picture of herself on her Twitter Page, acknowledging the silliness in her past styles. The picture posted was from a 2010 comeback performance of her fourth album's title song "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" on Music Core. The star acknowledged that the styling wasn't her best with the funny message, "When you have excessive greed, there are times when your reasoning doesn't work well."
Hyori definitely did go over the top in her looks during the 2010 performance with scary looking eye make up and a hairstyle that gave her antennas.
Below is Hyori's performance of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" that the picture was taken from. Do you think Hyori's styling was over the top in the performance? Let us know in the comments section.
In other news, Lee Hyori will appear on her husband's (Lee Sang Soon) radio show this week in Jeju.

First, the Flood.
Within 24 hours of moving into Orwell, she flooded. One of the biggest freakish rainstorms in Brisbane saw many homes inundated with water. Upstairs, in the original house, all was fine. The problem lie downstairs. See, Orwell is built into the side of a hill, with the rear of the property looking back upwards to what was the original backyard and stables. In the great subdivision of 1930, Orwell gave up the stables and the land, and over the years, McMansions have been constructed to capitalise on the view.
The drainage requirements in old homes is subjective. Anything pre 1975 falls into one set of council law, and post 75 another. One of the homes behind us was re-built post '75, and hooked into the pre-'75 plumbing. It enjoyed a 2014 renovation and extension – into the same plumbing system and certainly not constructed to cope with the hard water and storm water run off that gathers on a modern rooftop.
We had a very, very wet housewarming.
The rear of Orwell was very neglected and run down. It boasted a row of 80's-planted hedging trees that had grown sky-high. There were several frangipanis that seem at least a century old, and a Bougainvillea of equal age growing over the old outhouse. Add to this 30 years worth of self-sown randoms. It was green and leafy, yes – but it was also dark, dank and damp.
It all had to come out so the plumbing and drainage could be replaced (not our cost) from the property behind to down, under our block and out to street level.
It's great that it's fixed and after 4 months of swearing plumbers (not to mention many a night of crossed fingers to ward of broaching storm clouds) we can finally take stock of what's to do in the grounds. However, it's left us with this as a landscape.
I guess the terracing begins next.

Just sayin'...
Over at vancouvercondo.info is a constant stream of listings and sales data from commenters for the Greater Vancouver area. The listings growth is robust, as is the level of sales. We are on track to bust records for April listings and sales in recent memory. What will happen to prices, specifically the benchmark and house price index?
According to mohican's months of inventory to price change correlation analysis, the benchmark price will not start substantially falling until sales slow or active listings continue to increase at breakneck speed. Below is the half-over-half prices changes and 3 month moving average of months of inventory (i.e. active listings at month-end divided by sales from the month) on a time and scatter plot. (I extrapolated expected April MOI on the time plot.) This series provides the best correlation of the data. I've also included the scatter plot on semilog which allows the low MOI data to be better resolved.
Although not immediately obvious from the graphs, assuming the rate of sales does slow, a meaningful price drop from current levels is unlikely to materialize until sometime in the summer. If sales remain robust it is unlikely prices will drop unless active listings significantly increase. It's worth asking who is selling, or trying to sell. That listings are increasing fast may be a harbinger for lower sales going forward.
Given there appears to be an integral component to listings growth, it is unlikely listings growth will slow until sometime in the summer. Hat tip to PaulB for the hourly numbers. This one's for you and the inventory junkies. Subliminal message at 1:05.

- Pre-Sale Carnival Unlimited Rides Wristbands on sale NOW! Check the tickets page for more information.
2019 Ride Descriptions
Super Shot Drop Tower
The world-class Super Shot Drop Tower is one of Butler Amusements' most popular rides. Unlike any other ride on our midway, the Super Shot will bring a new dimension of thrills to your carnival goers. 12 passengers are loaded into each circular passenger station. Over the shoulder harnesses secure patrons while they are gently lifted up the 90 foot tower. Once the passenger station reaches the top, it is released in an accelerated freefall and riders experience G-Forces in excess of 3½ times normal. Riders are then cushioned by a magnetic braking system stopping the station before it reaches the base of the tower. The Super Shot is an exciting spectacular addition to the Butler midway.
Rock Star
Our Rockin' themed ride will light up the midway with brilliant high efficiency LED lights. The Rock Star is a platform ride with two tiered stadium style seating that moves up and over in a circular fashion.
Freak Out
The Freak Out, manufactured by KMG –Netherlands boasts an energy efficient light package utilizing LED's which produce clear bright color while using 90% less power to operate. The Freak Out Towers at 70 feet, and seats 16 persons taking them on a thrilling journey into the sky! Passengers are secured by over the shoulder harnesses as they dangle in expectation. Once the ride begins the seats slowly rotate as the entire boom begins to swing horizontally. Passengers swing over the midway directly overhead of those watching from the front of the ride. The ride climax is reached as the boom reaches a height of over 40 feet in the air while the passenger seats rotate.
The Zipper has been one of the Midway's most recognizable attractions for years, providing thrills to riders from teens to adults. There's more spinning going on with the Zipper than an out of control top. While the 'cages' holding two passengers each rise and descend on a tower boom, each spins independently and the entire boom turns, too. Three times the action, backed by spectacular lighting bringing them back for more.
Crown Merry Go Round
For decades, audiences have been awed by the beautifully handcrafted majesty of the carousel. To witness The Crown Merry Go Round is to see this piece of Americana in all its glory. This 30 foot Americana Themed Carousel features jumping horses, and 2 chariots. Parents and children create memories while they enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful ride together!
Round and round they go and where they stop, nobody knows! An old favorite that has thrilled and excited patrons for generations, the Tilt-A-Whirl is a swirling experience for teens and adults. Separate cars rotate individually as the entire ride revolves up, down and around!
Super Slide
No playground would ever be complete without a slide! Kids of any age enjoy the thrill of this giant slide as they sail down the undulating path. Passengers climb a stairway, higher and higher to the top of the slide and then laugh and squeal with delight as they sail to the bottom.
Major Rides and Shows
Eagle 16
A staple of the American Midway, this 16-seat ferris wheel has eight front facing cars holding two riders in each. It offers both a gentle ride around the 360-degree vertical circle and a thrilling view, as riders are lifted high above the ground and able to see for miles.
Area 51
The lights and excitement of the midway literally become a blur as The Area 51 sweeps you off of your feet. Spinning at 24 RPM, The Area 51 uses centrifugal force to float the passengers off the floor, giving them the feeling of weightlessness. All aboard this 45-person capacity Area 51 for one wild ride.
The Raptor has a familiar look of the classic scrambler, but with an extra special kick that multiplies the fun and excitement. Four arms are connected to seats in pods of three. Each pod of seats spin counterclockwise while the entire arm turns counterclockwise giving riders the feeling of being in the center of a crazy vortex. The Raptor has 18 seats each holding 2 adults per seat.
Family Rides
(Rides that adults and children may ride together)
Wacky Worm
The Wacky Worm coaster is designed for the whole family. This two level family roller coaster is a great way for the entire family to enjoy the carnival. This brightly painted worm, surrounded by flower cup lights, is a charming addition to the Midway.
Lolli Swing
Enjoy all of the fun of the sweet colors and savory sensation of a lollipop without the calories and sugar! This brightly colored ride has 16 swings decorated with large swirl lollipops and lights. The centerpiece is a large clown complete with a red nose and floppy shoes.
Jungle features walk through punching bags, a cargo net climb, covered super slide and many more features will keep the littlest of visitors wanting to come back for more.
Bear Affair
On the Bear Affair four jolly bears welcome children and parents aboard for a smooth ride. Passengers can move the ride at their own pace by turning a giant steering wheel inside the bear's belly spinning themselves round and round while the entire ride revolves as well.
Monkey Maze Funhouse
Kids will delight in this jungle themed funhouse. It is full of tricks and thrills to keep them coming back to navigate the maze of mirrors, air tricks and spiral slide.
Tea Cups
This Kid ride has a beautifully detailed teapot centerpiece and six teacups with four seats each for a total capacity of 24. Fiberglass vehicles are installed on a rotating platform. Each car is equipped with a steering wheel that controls the speed of its individual rotation.
Jump Around
The jump around is a first of its kind, fully interactive family ride that is sure to be a hit among kids of all ages. The jump around combines dune buggy themed vehicles with a unique, patent pending interactive bouncing motion. Up to four children or one adult and two children can be accommodated in each vehicle for a capacity of 600 rides per hour.

It turned out that the world didn't end today after all. Which was probably for the best. After a quick spot of brekkie the Folkestonians arrived. I then did the run to drop people off at work because everyone else was off on the beer this afternoon.
I came home, and ably assisted by "Daddies Little Angel TM" we tidied the living room. It took a Herculean effort, and we tidied one room at the expense of another by merely lugging all the clutter upstairs. But we got there. Whilst at it we found all sorts of stuff, including a bag of pressies bought for last Christmas. For want of anything better to do, we then took a carfull of cardboard for recycling, then took the dogs for a little stroll. And then the dogs covered "Daddies Little Angel TM" in mud, so we came home to wash the dogs and "Daddies Little Angel TM"'s clothes.
A cup of coffee, and we tidied some more. It's amazing how much tidying one can do with a bit of assistance. And then hoovering. Fragments of what I can only describe as "dog-related wreckage" were everywhere.
Once I'd got to the point of being able to tidy no more Lisa called, and I popped out for half an hour's working on a puzzle geocache. I have been criticised in the past for putting out caches which are seen to be too easy. This one was frankly impossible. We gave up trying to figure out a fourteen figure key combination with absolutely no clue after half an hour's effort. We had some ideas, but none were successful. I shall keep thinking.
Home again, into my glad rags, and the Bat arrived and drove us into town. To Wetherspoons where we met the Rear Admiral, and after a pint of the plum porter we made our way to the Chippery. I'd brewed some ale for the gathering. It went down very well with everyone else, but for myself I didn't like it very much: too fruity. Sam had done an excellent spread, and whilst I didn't drink that much, I certainly ate too much. An excellent evening with friends; we finally staggered home shortly after 1am, when we then did battle with a turkey...

text: Jason N 0 Report post Posted January 4 Is anyone else having an issue with version 3030 and images added through WDS? Whenever I import an image into WDS as an install image and WDS creates a Res.RWM file (so multicast is supported) I get an Insert Disk 1 prompt after the entire image is pushed out from the server. It gets to about 10 seconds left then I get the prompt and it does not work. If I revert to version 3005 in my console, and recreate the boot media (booted through PXE boot from WDS server) it will push out the image fine but will cause a bootloop since it is an 1809 image and will not work with that version of the console media. If I do NOT import the WIM install image into WDS, it will push out just fine using any other method. But this is not ideal since I image about 100 machines at a time in the summers and need proper multicast support from PXE boot within WDS. I have tried re-creating my images using Virtual Box, Hyper-V, etc. Rebuilding my WDS server multiple times. Completely uninstalling the console and reinstalling, completely starting from scratch on a new console host machine and rebuilding my image. No dice! I am attaching my logs with the hope someone sees something obvious. MININT-AUSO5BM.Logs.zip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This weekend I had the pleasure of spending the day with Kyle Grinnage, her wonderful husband Kym and her amazing team at her Jazzy Spring Fashion Fling. Kyle and Team turned winning the W.H.O. Unit Fun-raiser Challenge, which was awarded at Director Summit, into another fundraiser to support W.H.O. As you recall, this challenge was started on August 23rd. and ended on November 23rd. The Director, with the help of her Unit, who raised the most funds would be recognized on stage and earn the opportunity to have a special meeting arranged with one of our dynamic leaders. Well, as you know Kyle won for her unit size and she chose Gary Jones.
As you can tell by the name of the event it was all about style, fashion and glamour. Gary talked about BeautiControl - our history and future. He even did some makeovers.
Kyle is a Diva, very stylish and leads with a heart. She will be joining the W.H.O. Advisory Board and I know will be a powerhouse in helping us reach our financial needs and goals.
Back to the event! It was so much fun and so up- beat with up-scale evening makeovers, W.H.O. drawings for handbags and product baskets that were being raffled off, a Fabulous Shoe contest among all the meeting attendees, Style and Trend Updates and even a Jazz Combo to set the mood. Kyle and her Director sold tickets and it was open for area Consultants and clients/guests. Peggy Adams, also a member of the W.H.O. Advisory Board and her husband Ernest were there to lend support.
I was also at the event and had the opportunity to recognize a very special person to me personally and to the W.H.O. Foundation. Nancy Ham has been a great supporter of the W.H.O. Foundation and since I became Executive Director 9 years ago has donated almost $100,000. I was introduced to her by National Executive Director Peggy Adams. They have been the best of friends for years. In December she donated the largest single donation - $26,000. As a small token of our appreciation, I was honored to give her an engraved commemorative piece to display on her desk.
As I mentioned earlier, Kyle and her team had gotten some gift prizes for the raffle. One of the prizes was donated by Kym Grinnage, VP & General Manager of WWBT-NBC12. It was two tickets to the U.S. Open, which is a major Golf Tournament and believe me - as a golfer I would have love to have won those tickets! As a matter of fact, many of our attendees wanted those tickets so Kym, being the generous man he is, donated yet another pair that Nancy paid $250.00 for. When all the donations were tallied we had over $580! Well, it didn't stop there. In her normal "we can raise more than that" manner, Nancy threw out the challenge that she would match that amount, but "how about getting the total up?" So the donating started and when it was all done another $255 was raised bringing the total to $835. So with Nancy matching that amount plus the $250 she paid for the second set of tickets, the Kyle Grinnage Jazzy Spring Fashion Fling raised $2000. WOW!
Other sponsors besides WWBT-NBC12 were Godiva Boutique, Omni Hotels Richmond and Style Weekly.
Kyle, thank you and Verlean Randolph, Alma Gates, Debra Moore, Edriene Ognelodh, Delphine Sanchez, Thelma Oliver, Bernetta Davis, Andrea Wright, Santenna Bailey, Odessa Roberts and Pat Smith for all your hard work in making this event such a huge success. Thank you for allowing the W.H.O. Foundation to honor a woman, Nancy Ham, the Foundation's angel, for all she has given monetarily and her personal support in what the Foundation does.
By the way, visit www.roberthamassociaes.com and see the wonderful items they sell. Many of them would be great to use in your business.
Remember it just takes $1.00 to feed a family of 4 who are living in a shelter. Just think of how many families we can feed from this event.
There is still time to sign up for the Walk at Celebration and time to be part of the Walk Sponsorship Contest. We have some great prizes.
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend. Thank you for your support of the W.H.O. Foundation.
Cindy Turek, W.H.O. Foundation Executive Director

In this day and age smoking has been ban almost everywhere. I get a chuckle at the length smokers will go to have a puff. I see them leave a nice dry and warm work space to go outside and face the elements. One good thing about smoking is that it helps you lose weight. One lung at a time. Now that I have had my rant, I promise that next week I return to a more humours posting.

Add to basket or enquire
Uplatz offers comprehensive training on SAP HCM module. This is video-based online course (self-paced training).
The main objective of the SAP Human Resources (SAP HR / HCM) module is to process the employee data of the organizations according to their business necessities. It is integrated with other SAP modules and peripheral systems. The Human Resource module uses a structure of data grouped together called info types. The Personnel Administration (PA) sub module helps the professionals to track the employee master data, work schedules and salary information. The Personnel Development (PD) functionality concentrates on employee skills, qualifications and career plans of the organization. Finally, the Payroll sub modules process the employee attendance, gross salary and tax calculations, and payments to employees and third party vendors.
SAP HR gives organisations in all industries worldwide the tools needed to manage their most important asset: people. The solution equips executives, HR professionals, and line managers to hire the best talent, as well as train and cultivate the skills of their workforce by understanding where their workforce's talents lie and in turn aligning the goals of the employees with those of the organisation. In a nutshell, automation of all core human resource processes, such as employee administration, payroll, and legal reporting, increases efficiency and supports compliance with changing global and local regulations. The SAP HR course integrates with other modules such as SAP FI. Document transactions occurring within the SAP HR course (personnel management, time management, travel management and payroll etc.) generate account postings via account determination tables from the FI module.

Cynthia, I'm happy to say, is doing well after her mastectomy. Please say prayers for her continued healing and for Jenise, who was actually the first person who befriended me here in Santa Fe and at YogaSource. I'll go to visit her later today, after her surgery. And prayers too, for Laverne, whom Jenise dearly loves.
I'm co-teaching the Level 3 yoga class this morning. We're going to do a wall rope sequence that elongates the spine. I'll start the class by having everyone chant the Lokah chant 8 times. The words are:
It's the one we do when we need to send loving and healing thoughts to someone - or to the whole world. I'll be saying prayers too, but there is something powerful about a group of people sending a beautiful sound into the world. Jenise has a beautiful singing voice, and she belongs to a group that sings for Hospice patients. Her group is going to sing to her before her surgery this morning.
Last week, both RVPainter and I fell down. We weren't hurt, but whenever you fall, you could get hurt. I take those unexpected events as signs: SLOW DOWN and PAY ATTENTION were my interpretations. Then my friend Jenise decides to go for a hike with her dog on a beautiful spring-like Santa Fe morning. She's driving up the mountain road, reaches for her water bottle and ... in that flash of a second everything changes. She veers off the road and into a ravine.
We never know what lies ahead, what the day will bring. The cover of the journal I bought for myself this year reads Carpe Diem. Let's all seize the day, but please Slow Down and Pay Attenion too. I pass on my sign in case it wasn't just for me, perhaps it was for you too.

Best Buy composts for sowing seeds
By Adele Dyer
Seeds are self-contained packages that have everything inside them to germinate and start to grow. They just need fine, well-drained compost.
Put us to the test
Our Test Labs compare features and prices on a range of products. Try Which? to unlock our reviews. You'll instantly be able to compare our test scores, so you can make sure you don't get stuck with a Don't Buy.
There's a huge difference between the basil seedlings grown in a Best Buy compost and those grown in a Don't Buy compost.
Best composts for sowing seeds for 2019
A great compost for sowing seeds should have a fine texture that will surround the seeds with everything they need for strong, healthy growth.

|Our verdict
|Basil seeds
|Petunia seeds
Outstanding for sowing seeds
Peat content: 100%
This is the first year we have tested this compost, but we wanted to include it as members tell often tell us how good it is. It's made from good-quality peat.
It couldn't be faulted in the sowing seeds test, with very high germination rates and excellent growth for both the basil and the petunias.
It was also good in the young plants test, so it might be worth considering for both jobs.

Great all-rounder
Peat content: 80%
This high-peat compost has been a Best Buy for sowing seeds for the past few years. It's made from peat, mixed with wood fibre.
It's only available to buy online, so you'll need to pay delivery charges as well.
All the trays of basil and petunia seeds germinated well and grew quickly to form strong seedlings.

Rapid seedling growth
Peat content: 70%
This is the second time we have tested this compost, and it has been a Best Buy compost for sowing seeds both times. It's a peat-rich mix with added loam, rockdust, vermiculite, sand and plant stimulants.
Germination of the basil and petunia sees was excellent, and it was very even across the trays. The seedlings quickly grew to be larger, stronger and healthier than others in the test.

Great germination rate
Peat content: 90%
Price: £6.99 for 60L
Price per litre: 12p
This compost has been a popular choice for many years. It has a very high proportion of peat compared with many composts. Other manufacturers often mix up to 50% wood fibre or bark to make their composts more sustainable.
The basil seed was a little slow to germinate, but within a week more had germinated than in any other compost. The antirrhinums germinated rapidly and in both cases the seedlings were very healthy.

How we test seed composts
This year we sowed seeds of basil 'Puck' and petunia 'Express Rose', with 25 seeds of each in quarter-size trays. We grew 12 trays of basil and 12 of petunias for each of the composts we tested. When the majority of seedlings are at the first two true-leaf stage, we count the number of seeds that have germinated and rate the seedlings for size and vigour.

It isn't.
Ever since we moved to this house, I've gone to the same pharmacy several times a month to pick up prescriptions. In the beginning, the earthling was with me in the sling, and later he'd accompany me walking on his own feet. There was a cashier, Maria, who always talked to him and me, who was friendly and remembered us and grabbed our prescriptions before we even got to the front of the line.
One day about a year ago I went to the pharmacy after the earthling was in bed. "Oh, where's your son?" Maria asked.
"He's at home with my wife. It's after his bedtime."
"…Oh," she said.
Since then, when I go, she still recognizes me, earthling or no, but she's all business. No chat, no talking about how big the earthling has gotten, no asking me about my day. There are a thousand possible reasons for this. At least. Most of them have nothing to do with me. Maybe she got yelled at for chatting with customers too much. Maybe she's been having a bad year. It could be anything. I know that.
But I will always wonder if it's because I'm queer. I can't not wonder. My queerness inflects every interaction I have like this, whether I acknowledge it ("my wife") or avoid it ("my partner"). And because queerness is not visible, cannot be known until I make it known, I often have situations like this, where there was a before and there is now an after and things are different. This is one of the minor costs of being openly queer: the voice in the back of your head that is always going, is this because I'm gay?
Coming out is supposed to happen in One Big Moment. Usually your One Big Moment involves coming out to your parents; sometimes, especially in fiction, it's coming out at a press conference or in front of an audience or something. But wherever it happens, the concept is the same: in that moment, your whole life changes. Before, you were closeted and ashamed, and after, you become open and honest. You have chewed your way out of the cocoon of secrecy to emerge as a beautiful gay butterfly!
My family doesn't do big moments well. I was in college, I was 19, I was in the apartment I shared with Best Beloved. And my mother called. After some chat, she got around to the purpose of her call.
"Last year," she said, "you told me you'd never get married. And I'm worrying about that. You're young and I don't want you to be alone forever."
"I won't be alone," I said. "I just won't be married because it's not legal for me to be. But I already consider myself married."
I should, at this (big and momentous!) point, mention a few things: this call was taking place in the morning, and my sister, Laura, was living with our mother at this time.
"Oh," my mother said. And right then, Laura, who is not and never has been entirely human in the mornings, came into the room.
"Is there milk?" she said crankily.
"In the refrigerator," my mother said to her. To me, she said, "Who are you married to?"
"[Best Beloved]," I said, honestly bewildered. (I thought they knew! Like -- why did they think we lived together? I assumed we'd been on the same page for years.)
"Oh," my mother said, reaching for a suitable reaction.
"No, there isn't," Laura said, attaining new heights of crankiness. "Are we out?"
"Your sister's a lesbian," my mother snapped at Laura. I think she meant: shut up about milk for a second. I'm trying to have a significant conversation and you're making it difficult.
Laura has never given a shit about anyone's sexual preference first thing in the morning. "That's nice," she said, summoning up every single fuck she could give about something before breakfast. "Are we out of milk or what?"
And at that point I think we all gave up on pretending this was a significant moment and just kind of moved on with our lives. I accepted that "That's nice. Are we out of milk or what?" would be my family's main reaction to my sexuality. Later that day, just to be sure we were all in the loop -- since my parents seemed strangely slow and clueless about these things -- I told my father in email. The paragraph dedicated to that revelation took a backseat to four paragraphs of discussion about my stupid physics professor. Those were my priorities.
He probably read it and wondered if he was out of milk.
Just to top things off, that night I realized to my eternal embarrassment that this all took place on National Coming Out Day, a "holiday" I don't even support. (Come out. Don't come out. Whatever you want, on your own terms. I'm not going to pressure you and no one else should, either. It's a bullshit concept.)
So my One Big Moment was -- not. It was not big. It was not dramatic. It was, to be honest, pretty comical. The most emotion experienced by anyone was Laura's sincere and honest anger about my mother using the last of the milk without even considering whether other people had had breakfast yet. It didn't even manage to be a single moment, since I spread it over most of a day.
This was probably much better preparation for the rest of my life than I thought at the time.
"Are you sisters?"
"No. No, we're… not sisters."
"Oh. Haha! You look just like each other."
In college, I fainted outside the student union building during finals week and ended up at student health. The nurse practitioner had only one question for me, phrased two dozen different ways: "Could you be pregnant?"
"No," I said. "I can't be pregnant."
She was already starting her next question before I finished my answer. "But did you have sex recently?"
I hesitated. Back then, coming out still felt like a big thing every time I did it. And, yes, I'd had sex with Best Beloved many times that month, but I knew she meant sex that involved a penis in my vagina. Did I really need to get into my current sexual history in detail with this woman? "No," I finally said, but my hesitation had convinced her.
"Are you sure?"
"Not at all?"
"Not even a teeny weeny bit?" she wheedled.
I just stared at her, trying to figure out how you have a teeny weeny bit of sex.
She moved on. "Did you black out, or take any drugs, or wake up and not know where you were at all recently?"
She'd accurately described most of my high school career, but those days were long gone. And I didn't think accidentally falling asleep after midnight in the bone lab counted. Dead people can't get you pregnant. "No."
We went around and around. After fifteen minutes, she was still finding new ways to ask if I might be pregnant, and I was watching time tick by and just yearning for a diagnosis already. Finally, she said, "What are you using for birth control?"
I gave up. My desire not to come out to her had lost out to my desire to be done with this question forever. "Lesbianism," I said. "I'm using lesbianism for birth control."
She nodded but did not deviate from her script. "So you're not on the pill? Did you have sex this month?"
"I only have sex with my girlfriend," I said, trying to make this whole lesbianism thing clearer. "She can't get me pregnant."
She sent me to get some blood tests. One of them was for hCG: a pregnancy test. I got it then and I get it now. The number of college girls who claim they can't possibly be pregnant and are wrong is greater than the number of college girls who have stress-induced fainting.
But I came out! It was an effort! And… she didn't even listen to me. Back then, it didn't matter to her the way it mattered to me.
After a while, it stops mattering. You do it so many times that it just gets old and dull and meaningless. But you don't get to stop there. Coming out is endless. I've done it thousands of times by now, each moment of coming out blurring together in my head until it's just a lifetime of saying over and over: "I'm a lesbian. I have a wife. I'm queer. I'm not straight." I don't play the pronoun game anymore, I don't reach for the careful, neutral phrasing, and so I'm coming out all the time, without even thinking about it. And it's so boring that I sometimes forget that it's new information, and sometimes a brand-new experience, for the person I'm coming out to.
"Is your husband Jewish?" the earthling's friend's mother asked me.
"My wife, actually. No, she's not."
And I was ready to move on, but she was freezing up. I've done this so many times I can monitor people's thoughts as they have them -- I can read them like thought bubbles.
She's a lesbian.
Wait. What do I say?
Oh no, I've waited too long and she thinks I'm a horrible bigot, even though I'm Canadian.
"Oh," she said, clearly wishing she was saying something else. But what? But what?
The earthling's friend, David, looked up at me. "Girls can't have a wife," he said confidently.
David's mother made a tiny horrified noise. I didn't even need to look at her to know that she was thinking now she thinks my children are horrible and bigoted too.
But children are easy. Children are never any problem. "Yes, they can," I said to David. "Men can marry men and women can marry women, and I'm married to [earthling]'s mommy." (Straight parents, a tip for you: The key is to sound blandly confident. Use the same tone you'd use to say, "Actually, the capital of California is Sacramento.")
David took the conversation back to what matters to small children: themselves. "My mommy is married to my daddy," he informed me, and he and the earthling went back to playing with leaves and sticks.
A minute later, David's mother, having processed her horror and figured out what to say, chimed in with, "Of course women and women can be married!" She pretty clearly had a whole speech ready, but too late. Small children learn hundreds of new things every week, and they just don't have a lot of time to spend on any single irrelevant, unimportant new fact, like that women can be married to women. David had already filed this away, and he wasn't listening anymore.
David's mother left the conversation embarrassed and worried. She was the only person involved who had any feelings about it at all. These days, it doesn't matter to me the way it matters to other people.
My family is pretty basic: two adults and a child. But even now, when we can legally be married, legally file taxes together, legally be co-parents -- even now, forms almost never have room for us. There's the basic ones that assume that each child has a mother and a father, of course, but recently we filled out some for the school distract that had a ton of options: mother/grandmother/legal guardian/caregiver/foster parent/other. And father/grandfather/legal guardian/caregiver/foster parent/other. The only possibility that seemed not to have occurred to the school was two parents of the same sex.
I always cross out "father" and write "mother" over it. I cross out "husband" and write "wife." Often, this leads to unhappiness on the part of a receptionist or records keeper somewhere. "But the computer doesn't have a place for that! Can I just put sister?"
"She's not my sister, and she is responsible for my medical bills if I die."
"I'll just put sister."
But then sometimes I pick up a form that says Parent 1 and Parent 2, or Spouse 1 and Spouse 2, or something along those lines.
As soon as I see that, I look behind the desk, analyzing. Who works in this office who is queer? I want to ask. Because we only ever fit on forms designed by people like us.
"Are you sisters?"
"No, we're not related."
"Oh, just really good friends then, huh? You look so much alike! You must get that a lot."
"Yeah, we get it a lot."
In college, I had a therapist. One day, she asked, "Are you still together with [Best Beloved]?"
"Yeah," I said, confused. I mean. I'd been with BB for years. Surely it would have come up in therapy if we'd broken up? I figured I'd have some feelings about it and all.
"Huh," she said. "I'm surprised. I guess I just see lesbian relationships as more ephemeral than straight ones." She continued on thoughtfully, "I don't know why that is. You'd think I'd know better; my sister's been with her partner for a decade, after all. Well. I'll have to do some work on that, won't I?"
For the record, she was a very good therapist.
This week, I took the earthling to his pediatrician, Dr. G. Dr. G has known him since he was born, and she's known us since I was six months pregnant. BB and I met her together at the pre-birth interview thing, and BB was there in the hospital when the earthling was born, and BB comes to appointments when she can.
As Dr. G entered some data about the earthling into her computer, she asked, "Are you still with [BB]?"
I blinked at her. "We just celebrated our twenty-first anniversary," I said, after a moment's pause.
"Oh! Wow! Congratulations," she said, and we moved on.
I really doubt she's ever asked my sister, whose kids also see this doctor, if she's still married to her husband. I've been married longer; BB was at my sister's wedding. But, hey, my marriage is ephemeral, right? It could end at any time. Unremarked upon, even.
For the record, Dr. G is a very good pediatrician.
"Are you twins?"
"You look like twins!"
"No, we're not related."
"Wow! You look just like each other. How crazy is that, huh?"
It's just a reflex by now.
We were checking in for a spa day that my mother schedule for us: me, my sister (except technically not my sister, who is always late), and Best Beloved. "Oh, are you all Ruth's daughters?" the receptionist asked.
"No. Laura and I are. [BB] is my wife," I said.
And I could, of course, see her thoughts as they happened:
Oh, they're lesbians!
I am entirely and sincerely pro-gay, and so is my workplace. I voted against Prop 8! Yay, gay people!
…But what do I say now?
"Oh," she said, straightening up a little.
Wait, that sounds dismissive. Say something else! Say a better thing! Say the right thing!
"That's great!" she said.
I glanced up at her. "Yes, it is." And then I went back to texting my sister to find out where she was.
"Are you twins?"
"No. She's my wife."
"…Oh. Um."
Straight people, I will tell you a secret: there is no right response. Just listen and get on with your lives. I've learned to.

Day 608 (Nepal Day 34)
Today was a really nice day on the bike. Yesterday's difficult climb was rewarded with a shiver-inducing descent (so cold) and I didn't pedal for many kilometres. It took some time for my legs to warm up and settle in. Once they did, they carried me alongside a river that has carved out a beautiful valley. There was a perfect mix of climbs, descents and turns. Overall, I was gradually heading uphill as I was following the river upstream. I decided I would push myself harder during my first leg than I have on recent days – lately I've got into the habit of stopping more frequently than I need to and eating too much. I kept riding until I was really hungry, which was 34km. I stopped at a nice little roadside restaurant where I had two heaped platefuls of daal baht for 120r (AU$1.50). This fuelled me all the way to my final destination, 46km away. As I was unloading my bike at the front of my chosen guesthouse, a foreign couple (Jennifer and Eric) walked by and announced they had also just arrived in town by bicycle, coming from Kathmandu. Then, as I was carrying my bags into the guesthouse, three French guys (Charles, Valentin and Jo of Voyageurs Vagabonds) emerged and similarly announced they were travelling by bicycle. I have now seen seven fellow travellers in three days, which has pretty much doubled the number of cycle tourists I have seen on my entire adventure (about 18 months).

Construction in the this part of the Yucatan is most often done in cement. I couldn't resist this home being built in the Colosio, north of where we live about 20 blocks. Cement pillars are erected on the cement base that has been poured and cross beams of cement are balanced on a network of wooden standards. These are simply stripped tree trunks and limbs, often tied or wired together to attain the proper height. Cement blocks are then hoisted individually by pulley and fitted between these beam which have a lip to catch the overhang fashioned on each block. Wet cement, hoisted in 5 gallon buckets, that was mixed on site is then spread on these blocks forming either the roof or the base for the next floor. Construction stops for about 2 weeks while the cement dries, but usually several workmen hang hammocks and stay at night during the week to keep an eye on things. When dry, the standards are removed and returned to the contractor from whom they rented them.

Diesel Power Challenge 2018 Video Week: Day One is Live!
Dyno Day Hits YouTube and Motor Trend On Demand
Diesel Power Challenge 2018 Presented by XDP was an exciting and comprehensive test of driver skill, truck strength, and teamwork. And if you were wondering what this year's event was like beyond the glossy pages of the magazine or the coverage on the Truck Trend Network website, you're in luck, because Diesel Power Challenge 2018 Video Week starts today on the Motor Trend Channel on YouTube and on Motor Trend On Demand.
Part 1 of Diesel Power Challenge Week (embedded above) focuses almost exclusively on the dyno cell, starting briefly with the fuel consumption segment. Almost immediately, however, we get into the nitty-gritty of one of the most popular and dreaded tests in DPC: the horsepower and torque dyno.
Called a heartbreaker by one competitor and a dream crusher by another, the Diesel Power Challenge dyno takes place at ATS Diesel Performance in Arvada, Colorado. Even uncorrected for weather or altitude, the numbers these trucks throw down are incredible in their own right.
For more, be sure to tune into YouTube every day this week or go to MotorTrendOnDemand.com for more from Diesel Power Challenge 2018 Presented by XDP.

So it is in giving thanks, that we draw close to the heart of God. When we give thanks in everything, we are saying that we trust that the Lord is good. We trust that the thoughts He thinks toward us are to give us a future and a hope; this glorious eternal life with Him. We trust that He works in and through the darkness of our hearts, that He is transforming us day by day. When we give thanks in everything, we are walking by faith.
These small steps of faith and obedience, they turn our hearts towards Christ. We behold His glory as in a mirror, and our hearts are being changed.

blatantly bad idea? In case you missed the memo, selling overpriced music on flash drives is not the next big thing in content delivery, though in fairness, we will give you the movie side due to file size limitations alone. All rants aside, Sony has just introduced new pre-loaded MicroVault Click USB drives, and the first three include Michael Jackson's Thriller (2GB; $19.99), The Da Vinci Code (4GB; $29.99) and Men In Black (4GB; $29.99). What's odd is that the outfit doesn't bother sharing how much free space is left for other uses, nor are we told that the likely DRM-laced material can be exported elsewhere in order to liberate memory on the stick. In other words, we'll pass. Gladly.

Powerpuff Girls: Feminist and Cute
I've been watching on YouTube, the channel feminist frequency. In particular, the video series: "Tropes vs. Women". In video 6, they discuss the 'Straw Feminist'. A common faux feminist character in TV and movies who claim they are feminist but are written to be so vile, emasculating and hateful, they make all feminists appear to be this way, thereby, discrediting feminism.
One show they used as evidence was "The Powerpuff Girls". The episode: 'Equal Fights' in 2001. It had a villain called Femme Fatale who committed crimes in the name of feminism. She does bring up some major arguments about feminism, but since the city of Townsville (the fictional city in the show) is a haven of equality, she looks ridiculous.
But in real life, we do not live in an equal society and women do face discrimination just for being identified as women.
The problem I had with the analyses here was that it never mentioned the surprise ending that was extremely feminist and encouraging. Especially since this was a popular kids TV show that retains has a large fan base even now.
When Femme Fatale does finally get caught. She immediately falls into the argument that since she's a woman her punishment (jail time) should be lessened. But then Blossom (leader of the Powerpuff girls, the one in pink) says that when first wave feminist Susan B. Anthony was imprisoned for protesting, she was offered a lesser jail sentence due to her being a woman. Susan said that if she wanted true equality, than she would also be punished equally to a man. Therefore, if Femme Fatale was a real feminist, she would take the same punishment as everyone else, regardless of gender or sex.
The Powerpuff girls: feminism in cute, cartoon super heroines!
It costs a lot to be a broke student!
Damn! I decided after spending the last 2 years living and learning in England, that I really needed to go back to Canada because I can't afford to go to university here anymore. My other half is moving to Canada with me so never again the long distance relationship crap.
I have applied to some universities in Ontario, but holy crap! It cost over $300 just to submit an application! And an extra $12 for every transcript request! It seems strange that the key compromise of the student life is that you will likely be fairly poor during your years in school. Not to mention, have quite a bit of student debt afterward. Governments don't seem to account for this in their fees.
And yet, it's significantly less to deal with financially compared to England. Here the fees for an international student are £10 000 a year! At first it was horrible to be so severely gouged just for being a foreigner, but now it costs £9000 a year for UK students.
It does feel as though governments and bureaucracies want anyone without money to be unable to better themselves through school. And to have this option only open to those who already have money. It's like living in a third world country in this respect, especially here in England. There are no more middle class. It's all upper class, working class or lower.
I'm not saying that this issue with university can compare to the outright poverty in true third world countries. It's just that this does seem to be a step in the wrong direction. To make it more difficult for the population to raise themselves up through education. My parents are from third world countries and these sorts of issues is why they left to move to Canada.
But it seems we have little say at the moment.

ADking has put 8 (?) lucky boards with this amazing ponytail hair, each with a different hair color : black, brown, platinum, purple, pink, green ash, choco..omg, whats the last one? Anyways, I was waiting for my letter to come up when ADking walked in and that's how we started talking/bonding. iine!!! She's soooo sweet, nice and kind!! Arigatou ADking! While I was there, I also noticed this hair I haven't seen before 'polo second' and I really fell in love with it (i cannot resist bangs), its a carefree updo with bangs and it's realllyyy cute. All hairs are resizable by touch, textures amazing and perfectly made. Make sure you check the 'new' store!! ❤ Uma

Yeah yeah yeah I know I have been missing for just this side of forever but no YarnyDoom is not dead. In fact we here at YarnyDoom are working really hard on something big! For those of you who follow what is going on here you are vaguely familiar with NerdWars and some of the projects that I have made centered around it. At the end of the last tournament I was not sure if I would sign up again as I was struggling to find things that fit the group theme that I was attached to. So I rolled the dice again and this time landed on Team 1-up which is video game themed, a subject that is near and dear to my heart
Challenges this month were as follows:
Nerd Culture: Make a project based off of a YouTube video
My selection was the song that has forced itself into my head and just stuck there since I heard it "Complete History Of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris"
Here is my interpretation of "The Man Who Arranges The Blocks" complete with Soviet Union worker outfit, Stalin style facial hair, and his own blocks to arrange.
Team Spirit: Make something that shows your fandom loyalty
For this one I looked back fondly to our trip to San Deigo Comic-Con. One of my favorite things in the vendor hall (and trust me there was a lot that was awesome in that hall) was the folks from "The Behemoth". Now if you have not played Castle Crashers or Alien Hominid you need to …. Now…. go ahead and try it I will just wait here….. *humming to herself*…………… OH!! You're back now… YAY!! and now you see what I mean :D. They make messed up, all around fun games. In honor of that I made an Alien Hominid from the pattern here at Nerdagami
Intellectual: Make a project based off of a well known adage
I hear my dad in the back of my head with this one and the classic comment of "If all your friends jumped off a cliff would you?" In thinking about this statement there was no better selection then a Lemming!!
Here is my Lemming, using this pattern from PlanetJune. He is embodying a stop lemming which is one of the ones that you use to prevent them all walking off a cliff. See how his arms are out at his sides
Giving Geeks: Make or purchase baby items to donate
Baby Bootie donation box
a total of 7 pairs of baby booties were sent off to Baby Threads of NH that create baby take home bags for new mommies with limited means. Team Spirit you ask You betcha! First we have the Invinco-booties inspired by the Invincibility star in Super Mario Brothers video games (there are 2 pairs of those in the box)
Also we have the "Your Baby Wears Combat Booties" baby booties recommended for all you First person shooter and Call of Duty fans out there
Technical: make a 3 dimensional project
There is a side note of a Team Unity project it is almost like a free project to use in a challenge along the way to have everyone do the same thing. In our case it was a Magnetic Katamari from the Katamari Damacy game and here is mine. Just to add a little bit more geek flavor to it the color scheme was inspired by the superhero The Flash
Scientific: Lightning in celebration of Ben Franklin's kite experiment on June 15th, 1752
For this one something instantly jumped into my head and I just ran with it. Electrical Pokemon So here is my Pikachu. Created as a combination of 2 patterns. This one from WolfDreamer and This one from Tiamat Creations (which is in French)
Challenges began June first and in almost record time for me I was able to complete all of them in the first 2 weeks. In addition however I also took on a "Dissertation" which is a long term project that is supposed to take the duration of the competition to complete (3 months in total). The suggested dissertation that I am planning is based on Plants Vs Zombies and should take me every minute of the 3 months, it is that ambitious!
I hope to make a full game layout for 2 levels (the day front yard level and the nighttime front yard level) This project will entail the following:
A full defensive line up for each level and at least 3 zombies for each. The playing field is laid out in the front lawn grid like these
I plan on the following plants for each level:
Day level: Sunflower, Peashooter, Cherry Bomb, Wallnut, Potatomine, Snowpea, Chomper, and Repeater
Night level: Sun-Shroom, Puff-shroom, Fume-shroom, Grave Buster, Hypno-shroom, Scardey-shroom, Ice-shroom, and Doom-shroom
A total of 16 plant varieties (patterns written for each). Game would not be complete without Zombies so I plan to do at least 3 zombies per level. They would be:
Day level: Normal Zombie, Flag Zombie, and Cone-head Zombie
Night Level: Bucket Head Zombie, Dancing Zombie, Backup Dancer Zombie
Completed set up would look something like this
so total would be:
16 plant patterns all my own design
6 Zombies (roughly based of the same pattern with mods for each)
A minimum total of 25 plants per level
5 of each plant in rows like you would play the game
Pattern dimensions and information: each plant will stand about 4.5 to 5 inches tall and Zombies would be about 5.5 to 6 inches tall and should be able to stand under their own power. as they are intended to sell there will be no weighting in the bases (as it comes out and can be a choking hazard) and details will either be crochet or fabric paints which are non toxic. All items will be made out of acrylic yarn and polyester stuffing to prevent allergens.
The end result would be set up at the flea@MIT for sale before they shut down for the year.
In volume alone we are talking about a minimum of 56 completed pieces that are parts to be assembled and 21 completed patterns that will be posted upon completion. Even with my crochet speed this will still be time consuming to finish.
I do have a few samples to show prior to the grand unveiling when it is finished. I have written patterns for each and will post them when the whole thing is finished. And they are the Peashooter, Potato Mine, and Wallnut
Add into that new responsibilities at work, I am traveling now which is cool. And my standard fight with illnesses and you have one very stressed out fiberista. It is starting to calm down a bit however we have hit the birthday season in my family. As a crafter I like to add touches like that to my gifts if I can that will keep me a bit busier. As always I do accept and have some commission projects that are coming due as well.
So long story short (too late) stay tuned for some major projects on the horizon and hopefully a bit of press for it if I can pull the whole thing off.
Till then back to the yarn with me!

Spoilers for the season finale of Person of Interest.
Samaritan is up and running. Like Santa Claus it's making a list and checking it twice to see who is naughty or nice.
I've consumed pornographic materials and done at least one other thing on the list in that image. But offhand I don't remember any anti-government statements (though a thorough search of everything I've ever done could turn one up) so I think I'm out of the red. I'm sure that's not the full list of parameters Samaritan is searching for but I don't think I would qualify as a threat, or at least not one that would require more than tracking.
Do you think you would make the list? No need to admit anything specific since you never know who is monitoring your activity.

Oswiecm is a beautiful little town standing tall and proud over a beautiful river that slowly mianders past its castle and its 900 year old history. And then in 1940 the nazis came and took away its dignity and rights and Auschwitz became its name. The town is doing its best to promote itself as the old town of Oswiecm with a history pre 1940 and post 1945 but the hell of the 2 camps 2 miles away has a strangle hold so tight it will struggle to become a seperate identity.
The day before I was in kracow the old city of Poland and a city that has charm and beauty and also thousands of tourists like me taking pictures for the time when they return home to remind them of their travels of life when there stuck behind their 4 walls. Like all cities it needs to exist on tourism and it promotes its sights to the fullest. This is where it can ugly because there is a fine balance between being tactful advertising and downright crude. Kracow or the majority of its tourist operators sell its history so crudely its an insult to the city, the people and to poland. 'see Auschwitz the salt mines and a tour of the ghetos with fine food and beer all in one day 150 zl'
And then 70km away from kracow im pitching my tent on a camp site some 500yds from the 'death camps' ready for my visit the next morning. How stange and ugly to use camp twice in a sentence which has two very different outcomes.
