Oh great, here he goes again,,,,
It's the silly season again.
Yup, big Easter week/weekend here.
Some of you may or may not have noticed that I am not a believer. Nope, not even remotely.
And I am very good about keeping my opinions about religion to myself. Until I am somehow directly affected by someone else's views.
For instance, the Jehovah's will get a remark or three back from me when they try to discuss their thoughts with me.
It would be the better thing for me to do, just politely decline their offer. But just the fact that they brought it up pisses me off and I react, wrongly, possibly.
But what really gets my dick in a knot is when the government forces this shit on me.
Any free thinking country would not mix church and state, I would hope. I know some still do and may never grow out of it but it still draws some blog juice from me.
Right now here in Belize, Easter is a big deal. I don't know just how much it is with the God fearing crowd because I never really travel in those circles much.
But it is a huge deal for the young, drunken, crowd that flock to Placencia every year like zombies.
I use the term 'zombies' for a reason. They sorta re-enact the story of Zombie Jesus. You know the one, where Jesus supposedly croaks and they toss him in a cave. But the next day, he rises from the dead as Zombie Jesus!
Well, some of these party hounds will do the same thing. Fall over dead drunk only to come back to life the next day! Just in time for the wet 't' shirt contest.
But back to the government meddling.
The liquor license board has some weird rules for various holidays, Easter being one. And each holiday their rules are interpreted differently by just about everyone. No one seems to be able to understand them.
The holiday is some shit thursday, good Friday, holy Saturday, Easter Sunday, and some shit Monday.
So,, the good folks at the license board have decided that restaurants can be open all days straight thru (oh aren't they kind), but CANNOT serve booze from Thursday night at 2100 until holy Saturday morning! So a lot of the places will just close as their booz sales are so much larger than the food .
But get this,, ALL grocery stores that sell booze MUST close for those same hours.
Now,,, how is it that the village council can trust the 50-60 bars/restaurants to follow the rules by just telling them not to sell booze, and yet they force the 8-10 grocery stores to close?
Now their food take is much larger than their booze recipts each and every day, yet they are forced to lose an entire days income.
And why? Fuckin religion that's why.
Now,, I will not be effected by any of this as I won't be hitting any bars on Friday and we have enough provisions to get thru it all. But that does not mean I agree and won't bitch about it now does it.
Just what the fuck do they think they are accomplishing by forcing the sales of booze to close on Friday?
On election day I can somewhat see the point but good Friday??? And I was under the assumption Easter Sunday was the day to not drink and pray and shit.
Maybe they did not want to disrupt the beer sales during the wet 't' shirt contest.
Fuckin hypocrites.
God for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of the world, all the challenges to our intelligence. You simply turn your mind off and say God did it.

Makes absolutely no sense to me either. I would think the big "no drinking" day would be Sunday! It's almost as dumb as counties being "dry" in the States....like here....Bowie county, Texarkana, Texas. But then, Miller COunty, Texarkana, Arkansas is wet. Makes absolutely no sense either. Dumb.

You're preaching to the choir here.
Texas has some screwed up liquor laws, but they are squat compared to say... Utah or Mississippi. In Texas liquor stores can be open 10am-9pm except on Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day or New Year's Day unless one of those holidays falls on Sunday then you have to be closed the following Monday.
Explain to me how that makes any sense. At least we don't have a stupid 3.2%/6.0% beer law.

Yo Barn!
Been a while. I think you need to look at Easter in a different context, probably more acceptable to you. One of the people I work with holds not an Easter Egg Hunt, but (wait for it) ... an Easter Beer Hunt. She hides cans of beer around the house and yard and the adults go out and find them and more than likely consume them. Why there could be a Belikin right out there by that coconut palm!

Hey Barn, I understand ya but I think the blame is misdirected. Religious shit is there for ya to believe or not. No one forces it on ya. Fuckin gov't is a different animal. At least I can opt out and stay away from the folk lore believing folks. Try doing that with gov't and you'll find yourself beaten or in a cage or dead. Gov't and religion are responsible for more evil than any others but I think gov't is the champ where evil is practiced. So...fuck 'em BOTH! Just my .02 worth. Hope to drink a beer with ya someday.

René Caisse's Remarkable Healing Tea
In the early 1900s, Nurse René Caisse learned of the ingredients that had been used in a healing tea by an old native american medicine man. Some time later, a doctor suggested that one of the ingredients used in the healing tea would help the body fight off cancer.
René Caisse spent years studying the ingredients of the original native Canadian tea, and refining the natural formula. When her task was done, she had completed the first step of her life's work; she went on to spend more than half a century of her life treating thousands of patients.
Resperin's Original Caisse Formula Tea is the only brand of healing tea available that can document the receipt of René Caisse's original secret formula from Nurse Caisse herself.
Resperin™ Canada Limited prepares Resperin's Original Caisse Formula Tea using the original René Caisse formula, and like René Caisse herself, uses the same natural ingredients from Ontario used by native Canadian medicine men. The tea contains no artificial flavour, colouring, or preservatives, and is guaranteed herbicide free.
René Caisse dedicated her life to making her tea available as an alternative or supplement treatment for persons suffering from cancer, without a profit motive for herself. Her formula became known as essiac, which is simply her last name spelled backwards.
Please visit our order page to order Resperin's Original Caisse Formula Tea.

Yes, Valentine's Day was like 3 weeks ago, but I have pictures that I haven't shared. For those that know me, you know that I never so anything for Valentine's Day- Eric and I have never even gotten each other a card. We kinda decided that this year maybe we should do a little something, it's not the kids faults that we don't like it. The big kids were coming that night and Eric passed his first test for his contractor's license so I decided to make a fun dinner. We had chicken enchilada soup, salsa salad and for dessert, cake balls. I decorated the table with a red tablecloth, our silver chargers (that we used one Christmas), flowers, and candles. On each plate I put a chocolate dog and I bought the big kids sparkling lemonade. There were balloons on each chair... it was festive.
And I will leave you with this, because, well, it's gross and typical:)

Camera footage caught a group of anti-Trump protesters blocking two Air Force members from accessing the inauguration ceremony in Washington on Friday.
The unruly crowd of thugs stood in the officers' way and would not let them pass through. One protester told the men that they could not pass because a "checkpoint" established by the demonstrators was closed, according to The Daily Caller. Other protesters could be heard chanting, "This checkpoint is closed."
It's what mobs do in Third World countries. In America, it's liberalism as its finest.
The officers took the high road and turned away without issue, apparently seeking a way into the inauguration where liberal fascists hadn't set up a "checkpoint" to hinder American citizens from attending the inauguration of their president. Take a look:
This video proves that liberals are the most intolerant and immature group of people in America. Leftists across the nation tore into Trump supporters every chance they could, and will probably continue to do so. During the presidential campaign, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton couldn't resist taking personal, insulting jabs at Trump and those who supported him.
Social media websites have threatened to ban accounts that express a conservative worldview because those views do not line up with their own ideology. Yet conservatives are painted as the intolerant, hateful ones.
And now this.
Liberal logic is mind-boggling.
This blockade represented everything that is wrong with the left — beginning with hate and hypocrisy.
Still angry, upset and shocked that Clinton didn't win the election, they choose to lash out instead of carrying on with life and getting over it.
Blocking members of the Air Force from entering the inauguration doesn't do much to help the Democrat Party, but we can bet it makes liberals feel better to be jerks to Trump supporters — even though such behavior doesn't improve their lives one iota.
It's sad to think of how much longer we will have to put up with liberals throwing fits and being a general nuisance.

Special graduate student workshop on Refugee Movements and Refugee Policy
The UCLA Center for the Study of International Migration invites graduate student applicants for an-all day workshop on Refugee Movements and Refugee Policy. Immediately preceding a one day conference on the same topic, the workshop is designed to take advantage of the presence of an international and interdisciplinary group of refugee scholars to provide graduate-level instruction on this essential topic, but one that is rarely addressed by courses offered on our campus.
To be led by three visitors – Claire Higgins, School of Law, University of New South Wales (Australia); Hans Lucht, Danish Institute for International Studies; and Nando Sigona, Department of Social Policy, Sociology, and Criminology – the workshop will focus on three distinctive issues in refugee research:
· Pathways of refugee protection
· Human smuggling and border control
· Migration and citizenship
Background readings, involving roughly 2 articles per session, will be assigned.
The workshop is designed for graduate students at any level across the social sciences. While the workshop is particularly oriented towards students currently working on refugee issues or planning to do so in the future, it will be entirely relevant to students on any range of migration phenomena. The workshop is open to graduate students from any institution in southern California, though priority will be given to UCLA graduate students.
To ensure that numbers remain appropriate for seminar-style participation, participation will be by application only. Students should upload a one page letter describing your research interests and the reasons why you wish to participate in the workshop, along with a one page c.v. at the following site: https://ucla.in/2qkqR06. Lunch will be served. While participants are encouraged to attend all sessions, we understand that schedules may not permit. If attendance throughout the day is not feasible, applicants should indicate which sessions they plan to attend.
Applications due by January 29.
The workshop is organized by the Center for the Study of International Migration, thanks to the very generous support of the Luskin Endowment for Thought Leadership. Additional support is generously provided by the International Institute, the Department of Sociology, the Canadian Studies Center, and the Center for European and Russian Studies.

What, her worry?
We've had some real crash-bang-boom thunderstorms here the last couple of nights, and my daughter has not freaked out. This is a major accomplishment, because thunder has long been a major fear factor for her. She's become hysterical, crying and panicking, over much softer thunderclaps and lightening flashes in the past. But last night, when I suggested she come to my room to wait out the noise, she said she thought she could make it through on her own. And tonight, she said that just listening to music and being cozy in her bed had been enough to keep her calm, even though she was still afraid. I'm hoping this is the beginning of an overall mastery of fear and anxiety for her. That would be a major, major thing. We've been talking a lot about the "worry brain" and how it does not give reliable information, and what the "smart brain" can do to counteract those scary and undependable messages. Maybe some of it is sinking in.

I got back from Pan Ams and felt dehydrated and cranky. I have been frustrated with Arizona weather being hot. Doesn't Arizona know what I just went through at Pan Ams?! Well, being hot, sweaty and grumpy made me unexcited to train. I did it nonetheless. I mean, I do have Nationals coming up. It took me about a week to get back into the swing of things.
Friday morning, I had a great session front squatting 195 kgs or 429 lbs. This was a personal record for me. The plan was to do 180, 185, and 190 kgs for one repetition each. I missed 185, made 185, went to 190 (all of which felt heavier than it looked.) Coach said, "Let's put 193 on the bar." I said, "Absolutely not. It's freakin' heavy." Especially after that 180 miss, I did not want to miss the weight, drop in on the floor, strip the bar down, rerack/reload/relift the weight. "C'mon. Just to say you did it. It'd be nice to get a new pr." My response was "Only if it means I don't have to do my down set with 160." (a down set is a set that you do with a lighter weight but more repetitions) "You can only get out of the down set if you go to 195." I said, "I really hate making deals with you." as I load an additional 5 kgs to the bar. After sucessfully completing the lift I said, "See? That's how you motivate me to lift more weight: getting out of work." I followed this with a few snatches at 105 kgs.
In the afternoon, my coach planned for me to go to 150 for three singles. My best before the Olympics was 150 for two singles. My coach had to travel that day so it was just me and my teammates lifting our brains out. My teammate told me he'd buy me dinner if I clean and jerked 155 kgs. I clean and jerked 150 for the first rep, it was slightly shakey but, no big deal. I repeated the lift for my second attempt and smoked it. So I told my teammate that if he loaded the bar for me, I'd give it a crack. So, with minor technical errors, I improved my clean and jerk by 5 more kgs and now I am only seven kgs away from the AMERICAN/PAN AMERICAN RECORD! I'm thinking sushi buffet is in order.
There's a guy training with us who is preparing to tryout for the NFL and he said, "I don't know how you do it. I mean what did you have for breakfast?" "Well, I had generic Slimfast and beef jerky." He started laughing hysterically. "Who has that for breakfast?!" "I had orange juice too! Oh and then for lunch, I had Indian buffet. And the way over here I had a Clif bar." More laughing ensued.
So my performance from Pan Ams is supposed to garner me a small bonus. I am really excited for this because I can pay off my trip to Nationals and get a new VCR. Those are some big dreams, I know. If I can put things together, I should be able to lift heavy enough to move into the #1 funding slot (It's strange that someone who is a Pan Am Champ is ranked #8 on the stipend list, right?) If I can manage to move up, I don't have to worry as much about a lot of things until December when the next payment period begins. If I cannot however, I have to make arrangements because my lease ends Sept. 30th yet, I have the World Championships in October and the President's Cup in Russia in November.
I just saw this recently on the USA Weightlifting "DONATE" tab. It's an image of me and you can donate $. I am conflicted with them using my image. I am flattered they thought of me, I am glad my image is up in another location on the internet, and I am glad that I can be a face for USAW. I feel however, that it is better to just donate directly to the athlete of your choosing. If it's me, cool. You can mail them in, help with stuff on my Amazon Wishlist or donate through my paypal on the top right side of this screen. If it's not me, and you want to make a general donation, that's good too go ahead and donate. The last frustration I have is the fact that I have been fighting for years for a fairer stipend system and struggle all the time all while exceeding the expectations placed on me only to be ranked so low on the list. As a side note: only 3 out of 10 athletes getting any stipend at all are women.
Eyelashes and Dating:
So one day at the gym, I had a funny, crooked eyelash. I tried to pluck it out with my fingers and managed to pluck out a whole gaggle of them. I then had a bald spot on my lash line. I invested in some individual lashes to get by until they grew back. I fell in love. I then decided, hey, go big or go home and bought a couple pairs of false lashes to give them a try. They are really fun and one of my new obsessions. Most fun less than $10 has gotten me in a while.
If you are an avid follower of me, you may have remembered me saying something in the past about considering signing up for a dating site. Well, after some careful saving, I invested in a membership to a dating site. I have to say, overall, I am sorely disappointed. I have however in the past few months managed to scored a couple of second dates. One is coming up sometime before I leave for nationals, and the other one won't happen.
So before Independence day, I had a fun Starbucks/movie date. He said he wanted to see me again. Huzzah! So we were talking about going out again on 4th of July. I thought it would be cool to go see fireworks together and enjoy eachother's company. He however, wanted an evening more in private. "We could watch fireworks, or we can stay in and make out." I was really flattered and it was good to know that he thought I was attractive. However, in my personal dating life, I don't think that is appropriate
timing for those types of kisses and the subsequent activities he
probably wanted to participate in with me. I told him no. I am not
comfortable staying in a private place with someone of the opposite sex,
that I do not know well, and wants more than I am comfortable with."You act like it's a bad thing." he said. I told him, "My reputation and my virtue are important to me." Was he handsome? Yes. Did I want to kiss him? You betcha. Just not at this time. He didn't respect my wishes and I was to never see him again.
I thought to myself, "If I were to go over there or vice versa (however you spell that), it could make for an eventful 4th of July. Because hey, who doesn't like kisses? I wasn't comfortable with it though and I remembered all of my fans and followers too. What I do in my private life is no one's business nor am I obligated to tell anyone what I do in my free time. I could not however bring myself to be OK with it knowing I encourage women and little girls to be strong, confident, and to stick by their personal, moral codes by making good decisions. So as I said before through Twitter, thank you all for holding not only yourselves to a high standard but, me too as well.

Saturday, I lucked out enough to visit my friend from high school, Kjersti, who was in from Texas. I cannot explain how much I miss that fun size Texan. And her little girl? She puts Shirley Temple to shame. Such a wonderful family.
You see, my upper body chills very easily, so I always layer as much as possible. This time, I tried giving some love to a blazer who frequently feels neglected. After wearing it all day, I don't know why I wear it so little! By the way, it's oooooolllllddd.
Can I also say how much I love this blue/teal wall? It always makes me look prettier than I am in real life. You know what I mean?

I do hope you can return there for some warm weather relaxation in the not too distant future. We so have good autumn weather some times!

Hi Sarah-Jane! Thanks for stopping by! I haven't been around as much because I've been trying to make the most of every moment of summer...it's almost over and it makes me sad!ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband being ill. I will keep him in my prayers and you as well.
Your recipe looks and sounds tasty and healthy and I love seeing those photos of the North of Scotland. I would love to visit someday (it's my heritage and would be fun to visit where my grandparents came from and dad was born).
You will remain in my prayers! Keep us posted.

Government goes over board
D66 is one of three parties that support the Dutch government. They are the smallest and the most left wing party of the three, the party favors a mix between liberalism and socialism (like Clinton's third way). Some party officials want to start a new political movement together with members of the PvdA and VVD. The other two other government parties are CDA (Christians, with also a strong left wing) and the VVD (Liberals who mirror them selves to the American Liberal party).

Country Glam in Virginia Wine Country
As part of the Wine Bloggers Conference (being held in Charlottesville, VA), on a beautiful, but extremely warm Saturday this past July I was fortunate enough to visit Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards.
Upon arriving at the picturesque and eco-friendly property Dean Andrews (Principal of Pippin Hill) and Lynn Easton Andrews (Principal & President of Easton Events) greeted us graciously on their Veranda with glasses of thyme and citrus water drawn from their well on property. They were warm and welcoming and excited to share their passion for "great wine, fabulous cuisine and beautiful design" all of which we experienced. We were invited into their Tasting Room which was spacious and inviting with just the right mix of country charm and glamour. Placed before us were four of their wines (of which Michael Shaps is a consultant) and four bites to pair with them from their on premise organic vegetable and herb gardens.
The first if these offerings was their 2010 Chardonnay with a Seared Diver Scallop in Grapefruit Butter. The wine was nicely balanced, elegant and the grapefruit in the sauce really highlighted the citrus notes in the wine.
Second was their 2010 Viognier (and what I found really shines in Virginia). The wine was dry with lovely floral and apricot notes. It absolutely sang when paired with a Smoked Chicken and Apricot Salad Wrapped in a Brined Grape Leaf (straight off of their vines!).
Third we moved on to my favorite, the 2010 Summer Farm Rose made 100% from Cabernet Franc. The Rose was a beautifully dry wine with enticing notes of roasted coffee, dried herbs and ripe raspberries. This was paired with a Mini Croque Monsieur that they put their own spin on with a light spread of house made grape jelly. If only the Croque Monsieur wasn't a mini!!
Finally we finished our tasting with their dry Red Blend comprised of Cabernet Franc and Chambourcin (a French/American hybrid grape that grows quite well in Virginia). The raspberry, roasted coffee and chocolate notes in the wine paired deliciously with their Mini Chocolate Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting and a Chambourcin Drizzle.
As our time approached it's conclusion I was truly reluctant to leave and anxiously anticipate my next visit to Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards and the Monticello Wine Trail.

I fully suppot and know the importance of Imaginary Play and I've realized that at age 3, L's imaginitive play has become more complex and interactive, which has been so much fun! This morning I decided I wanted to break out an "oldie but a goodie" of imaginary play---Magic Carpet! This rug took L and I on many adventures! Our morning was full of fun and lots of exercise! If you'll look closely at the carpet you can see some of the things we collected from different "lands".
-A flashlight from Dark World
-Pirate treasure from Treasure Island
-Mr. Pig from Toy Land
Most of these lands and worlds were excitedly dreamed up in seconds by L,
who has such a wonderful imagination!
Your child may think of everything on their own, but if they need a bit of coaxing in the area of pretend play, I thought i'd give you a look at what our adventures looked like...just for inspiration! :)
Dark World
This world was completely pitch black and our magic carpet crashed landed. We bumped into walls and eachother while we searched for a flashlight (which we found!). We ducked into creepy caves (closets) and shined our flashlights on creepy things like bats and cave spiders.
Treasure Island
Our magic carpet had to land in the ocean because a pirate ship was trying to shoot us down with their cannons. We rowed the carpet to the island where we found and followed a treasure map that led us to the pirates treasure! The pirates chased us but we made it back to the magic carpet just in time to fly away as a pirate almost grabbed our feet!
Toy Land
Toy Land (L's room) was filled with enchanted toys who wanted to all be played with! Mr. Pig (L's favorite stuffed animal) was the King of Toy Land and he ended up leaving with us to continue on with our many adventures.
Ice World
We had to put on our ice skates (socks) and jackets before getting off the magic carpet. We slipped and fell on the ice several times and L had to hold my hand until I got the hang of it (he took this part very seriously). Soon we were gliding gracefully and doing spins on the ice (socks on hardwood floors worked perfectly for ice world)! We also met a very friendly polar bear!
The Sun
Yes, we took a trip to the sun too! It was extremely hot so we had to put on our "sun suits" so we wouldn't get burned. It was also very bright so we had to put on our sun glasses. We drank Lava Juice (koolaid) to cool ourselves off. We decided the sun was just to hot for us and hopped back on the magic carpet!
Dinosaur World
I almost knew we would be going to Dinosaur World! We were visiting our friend the Stegasaurus. L said he swished his tail a lot and we had to keep jumping over it while we were talking to him. We hid behind huge boulders (our couches) to hide from the scariest dinosaur of all--the T-Rex! L threw him a carrot to distract him while we ran back to the magic carpet (seriously lol)!
Flying on the Magic Carpet
Flying to these lands was also part of the adventure! We were up so high in the clouds and looked down upon the ground at all the towns and people. We passed by lots of birds and had to make sure we didn't hit any. The ride got bumpy as the wind picked up and we almost fell off the carpet a few times! We had to swerve as we almost hit mountain tops and tall trees!
This is such a simple game and will delight your child with fun and adventure.
Once you get started you may be surprised at how vivid your child's imagination will become, and how much fun for BOTH of you this game can be :)
More Ways to Follow the Fun!

Isobel dropped in yesterday to say hello. She dragged her feet as she passed over Devon and Cornwall causing devastation wherever she touched down. Ferocious winds tore at everything around, ripping up trees, hurling rocks, burying cars in sand and damaging buildings. The sea was whipped up into a complete frenzy with huge waves battering shorelines that most thought of as sturdy defences until the wall at Dawlish disappeared in a storm not dissimilar to this one a while ago. I had to go out, although I would have changed my appointment had it been any worse, and for once I was glad that it didn't involve a cycle of any description.
Since 2010 our winters have been just like this one; a succession of extreme storms blown in from the Atlantic Ocean. There is nothing you can do other than batten down the hatches and cross your fingers. There but for the grace of god……………………… Afterwards, when the savage gales are gone, piles of debris tell the story, along with flooded fields and houses and months of misery for many who, by no fault of their own, got in the way of Isobel's fury.
There was a calm this morning. It descended overnight, winds decreasing ever-so-slowly as darkness ebbed away to give another day. I opened my eyes to weak sunshine and the threat of heavy showers to follow, my mind almost tricked into thinking I had slept until springtime and woken to another summer of adventuring by trike. Instead, there was a slow dawning in my own head that it was colder, winters day. The draft through my open bedroom window confirmed the fact and almost as soon as I gained a little consciousness hail began to drum heavily on my window panes.
I slunk downstairs, coffee on my mind and nothing else. There was no thought of food or what the day might hold and my house had an empty feeling. Michele had to head home while the going was good, as they might say in horse-racing parlance. Devon roads are exceptionally adept at holding large bodies of water after hefty rain, deep puddles that you don't see until you are almost upon them. With more stormy weather in the offing Michele left as I snoozed in bed.
Sitting in a pub yesterday, therapy complete, eating good food as a small reward for having made it there, we waited patiently for Isobel to pass over. By evening she was still blowing at 80mph in parts of Devon, Dorset and Hampshire but by bedtime her fury was lessening. I went to bed wondering what storms Jennifer or Kevin, or whatever banal names they are given, would be like when they inevitably arrive in due course and alphabetical order. So far each storm has seemed worse than the previous. Kevin, as most of us know, was an obnoxious so and so, as were all of us at that age and that doesn't bode well in my imaginings.
I suppose it could be Kieran, or Kelvin, Klaus or Kurt, we will just have to wait and see. If they name it Kermit I shan't know what to think or write, Kermit being my lovely Azub trike. If, by chance, they do use that nomenclature, then it won't be very representative of my Kermit. Ferocious thrashing around and Kermit are mutually exclusive. He is of a much gentler nature. In terms of cycling he represents comfort and relaxation. More tortoise than hare he is better at plodding than blasting across the country like a hurricane might. There could never be anything depressing about Kermit, unlike those long lines of Atlantic lows. To me he represents freedom, high pressure summer sunshine, escaping the doldrums and large grins born of speedy descents and wonderful views.
Anyway, stuck inside I've taken to dreaming, wishful thinking and flights of fancy. I'm hoping that it will lead me toward another adventure. Today, Wednesday, has been lauded as the one good day this week. Sadly, the weather in West Devon hasn't watched the forecast and as I contemplate breakfast it's throwing it down outside. A uniform greyness beyond the walls of my house now matches the colourless interior of my mind and I'm finding it difficult to find any enthusiasm for pedalling anywhere at all or even imagining it.
I keep telling myself to be patient, that it will clear, but it can easily feel as though I've heard it all before. If it stays like this all morning I shall be resigned to yet another short, wet ride during which my dreams will be limited to the warm shower and hot food that awaits my return. My need to ride, to break the mould of being stuck indoors and escape for just a few hours, is becoming greater than the need to wait for better weather.
And so it continues. Rain or shine I will get out. It's just the quality and quantity that's under review. Quality I cannot alter. Infinitely variable and completely subjective it depends on where I go and the conditions that prevail at that time. A brief moment of sunshine can convert a dull and uninteresting view into something spectacular and that is part of the joy. Quantity; do I really want to ride a long way in the rain when I don't have to? I don't think so. There is a vestige of brightness out there. Not enough to get excited about but enough to hope that it will improve as the day goes on.
I'm left feeling like the stable door is open wide but I haven't bolted. I'm waiting, coiled like a spring, desperate to express myself physically in the big world whilst, for now at least, remaining locked inside both physically and mentally. Even flights of fancy need oxygen to grow and when it's lacking they wither and shrivel taking hope and joy along with them. Years of experience tell me that once I'm out it will be fine and that any exercise is better than none. I know both those things to be truisms but I need the weather to be a little gentler and more forgiving than it has been recently. I need enticing more than I used to do to take that first step.
When I'm playing a waiting game like this I do small things that, when added up, help me to fall over the start line. I prepare food and drink to take out. I pump up my tyres and check that I have the tube, levers, pump and patches that will assist in the event of a puncture. I gather my clothing and other garments like Buff's, gloves, maps and helmet and make general preparations. 'It's a clearing up shower', I hear my late father's voice in my ear. Clearing up or not I'm staying put, says my conscience, doing everything it can to root me to the spot.
The battle has to be won with patience, an art I've learned, but one that I wasn't blessed with at birth. The growing pile of evidence that points towards my going out expands to the point where, at some near future moment, it becomes incontrovertible proof that I will take action soon. Deciding in my mind which direction to go provides another delaying tactic and a few more minutes where my mind is preoccupied. If I go west, it will be flooded along the lanes. I know this because it always is after heavy weather and it was a couple of weeks back when I took a chance and ended up all but swimming. South is the prettiest route but that's toward Dartmoor where the gloom resides for much longer. East is dull, even on a sunny day until you get a fair way away, which I probably won't today and north just doesn't work well from where I live unless you take the Tarka Trail which is probably more Tarka Trial at present.
My conscience says it doesn't matter which direction and my logic says drink your tea for ten minutes in the warmth of your house and then see what happens. Meantime the clock has moved on almost one hour. The day is ticking away as I procrastinate. Time should have a pause button for when I can't decide what to do. That would be extremely helpful at moments like this, although I have to admit that without time pressure it's most likely that I wouldn't ever have achieved anything in my lifetime. Would you?
I looked up through the sodden window. The rain has stopped and quiet surrounds me as I ceased thinking for a brief moment. Shortly after, a chink of blue appears between the clouds. It looked as though somebody had dropped the sky and cracked it allowing golden light and azure blue to pour in through the hole in the otherwise uniform greyness. And what clouds they were. Huge and majestic thunder storms, giant anvils ready to produce booming noises and crashing lightning bolts, sounds and sights more associated with forging hefty steelwork than mere weather. I watch them floating ever-so-slowly past Hatherleigh, hoping they hold their breath.
I suppose I must have reached critical mass at that point as I rushed upstairs and changed my attire to something more suitable for the task of cycling. Not trusting the clouds to keep themselves to themselves I grabbed my waterproof trousers on the way past and stuffed them into the pannier containing my worldly belongings.
Escaping into the cold air isn't easy. I need to heave Kermit sky high in order to get through the two doors blocking my way to the real world from my kitchen. This isn't as easy as it could be, mostly because even though he isn't too heavy, he is a slightly awkward shape to move around when folded in half. There are marks on the stairway walls to prove it and I even have an old coat I use when performing this operation in the hope of keeping my other one cleaner.
Unfolded, seat, pannier and flag in place, all that remains is to pedal away. I lay back, everything feels so familiar, and set off. The decision to head south and then south west for a while is my only chance of dodging the outpourings of the heavenly bodies that now surround my house like the gunfight at the O.K Corral. I don't care, choosing to look sideways rather than upwards I avoid their posturing.
Heading south means riding against the grain. All the ridges run west-east, so any route going north-south means lots of climbing. These aren't monster hills. Long they may be, several kilometres in places, but not too steep once you get up a little way. They are the sort of hill that you cycle up while humming a tune and soaking up the sunshine. Without that vital ingredient, humming felt untoward. Where I normally go left at the very top of one such hill I went straight on. The run down the other side was shorter than anticipated or desired and soon I was climbing again. At the next junction, where I occasionally go left, I went right into new territory.
The reason I usually go left was immediately apparent in the form of a long and initially steep hill up to a small hamlet of houses. All the roads to this point went swimmingly. By that I mean they all had hundreds of gallons of water running down them. It wasn't deep but was almost continuous after Isobel dumped her possessions here, leaving the fields weeping. I rose steeply on a tiny tarmac ribbon through what was obviously the manicured grounds of a once great house. Trees, all planted for affect, peppered the vista to the south and I had plenty of time to enjoy it as I gained height inch by inch.
As is so often the case in Devon, you reach the top only to find the hill grinds on for another mile. Arriving at the highest point around, which somebody had celebrated by building a huge and out-of-place mast on it, I stopped for a little food, to stretch and to admire the view. The law of Sod chose that very moment to unleash what, up until that point, had been handily stored above my head in the previously mentioned clouds. One drop, two, drops, three drops and bombs away. Bugger.
I tried to be cunning by engaging in the noble art of stopping the rain by putting my over-trousers on. It's a well-known fact that as soon as you place your legs in these horrible garments and set off, it will stop raining. Lord above help you if you dare to leave home without them. On this occasion it just kept raining. A brief look at the map, which I should add is waterproof, and an escape road is found, quite a big one that heads toward Okehampton. Unsurprisingly it resembles a river bed now with the volume of rain that's falling. It was an easy decision to make and I as soon barrelling east towards 'Soakhampton' as it is affectionately known by us locals.
Arriving at the golf course I turned away from the busy road and made for home. The now torrential rain still hadn't got the message about over-trousers and continued to pour in buckets. The road sprayed water everywhere and despite the effort of pedalling my body temperature plummeted. There was no longer any view and so it was head down and go for it. Rounding a corner, I came unexpectedly face to rear with a huge articulated lorry that was having a large number of bags unloaded by a man on a tractor.
With no room to ride past I had to make a decision. The first bag the farmer removed from the long-flatbed for saw him and his tractor disappear for two minutes before returning. There were twelve bags on the lorry, so assuming he wanted all of them I got off Kermit, lifted him up and trudged sideways through the foot deep and squelchy mud than ran alongside the road. Having my feet go so instantly cold, brown and wet took my mind away from the aching cold in my leg muscles. Joy.
Aside from the one hill that always slows me to a crawl; regardless of mood, ability, fitness or desire, I raced home like a mad thing in an attempt to get warm. Somewhere along that stretch it stopped raining. I didn't care and climbed the bypass still wearing my over-trousers which in turn kept making the annoying rustling noise that all manufacturers of over-trousers build in.
My house has seldom been so welcome and the blast of warm air that greeted me on opening the front door felt like paradise found. I grinned as I packed away, doing all the same things but in reverse order to going out. I fell into the shower, changed my clothes and on leaving the bathroom I found the sun streaming in through the front windows. It stayed like that until sunset, just before which I strolled into town.
Dartmoor was visible again and the cold air made me feel glad to have got home when I did. A huge storm threatened the moors western flanks and I was glad to be here and not there. Days like this mark minor victories for me in my battle to prepare for whatever I decide to do later in the year. It left me buzzing to have been out, even though it wasn't all that pleasant. My mind will be thankful for this when the storms comes again and we feel trapped. So my advice is that you should keep on trying and going out, even if it's just for twenty minutes. Your body will thank you come springtime and your mind will be prepared for anything.
Until next time……………………

milk-and-cookie welcome doll party to surprise her when she got home from school. I started by using Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More 2 to create little milk cartons.
I love the scoring on this cartridge, but I don't use a scoring tool (I don't own it --- yet), so I score by simply adjusting the blade depth to 2 and the pressure to 2 for scoring, changing it back to my regular settings for cutting the outline. I cut down coffee stirrers to make little straws.
These were cut at 4" on my Expression. The text was cut from Mickey Font at 1/2" in vinyl (using pressure 3, blade depth 3, and speed 3.) Adding the vinyl was an after-thought, but because the cartons are so little, they gained sturdiness so it was a breeze to add the text after the cartons were assembled using transfer tape.
For the cookies, I bought a little kit for my daughter to make them herself from air-drying clay! She loves making things for her dolls, often finding projects in the American Girl Magazine or from things she creates on her own! I am hoping this will be a fun activity for her this weekend when she is at her Nana's house!
I created a 'Welcome' banner for the party using the Pretty Pennants cartridge.
I cut the pennants at 3-1/4". In addition to the base cut, I also cut a scallop. For two of the end pennants, I cut a decorative layer.
For the pennants with the letters, I used Mini Monograms for the scalloped circles, cut at 1-3/4" and 2-1/4", and Mickey Font for the letters, cut from vinyl at 3/4". I placed pop dots between the scalloped circles. I accented them with butterflies from Paper Trimmings at 1-1/4". I cut the backgrounds of the butterflies from card stock and the black outline from vinyl, using transfer tape to apply the outline onto the backgrounds. I shaped them and added little gel pen accents.
This banner is my entry in the Cricut Circle Magazine Challenge for this month as well!
Well, of course, she was in heaven....can't wait to see how those little cookies turn out.

To make the caramel apples:
Prepare a cookie sheet with a lightly buttered sheet of parchment, set aside.
In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter, then add the brown sugar, corn syrup, honey and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture starts to boil. This can take about 10 minutes.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 238 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
Once the caramel reaches the right temperature, remove from the heat and allow it to cool to about 200 degrees F. It will begin to thicken as it cools. It should be thin enough to coat the apple, but thick enough to cling to the fruit.
While the caramel is cooling, stick the lollipop or popsicle sticks into the apple. Make sure they are deep enough that they won't fall out while you are dipping the apples in the caramel.
Dip the apples into the caramel. I like how they look when some of the apple is still showing, but you can completely cover them if you prefer. Hold the apple over the pot of caramel and allow some of the excess to drip off before placing them on the sheet of buttered parchment.
If you want, dip the bottom in the crushed peanuts.
Keep the apples in a cool, dry place and they will last for a few days, loosely covered with plastic.

Password 5 JApplet
Purpose: learning.
The encrypted string is decrypted with the username.
Result is a filename.
That file is loaded by the applet from the Internet.
The first line in that file contains the url where the applet brings you.
Decompiling the applet will not reveal the hidden link.
For geting the secret file the username and encrypted string is needed.
Encryption is done with Password based Encryption with MD5 and DES
Made readable with Base64
Problems encoutered:
Password applets are not very secure
JApplet behaviour is different than Applet
Costum Image Button added using JComponent
JComponent does not support ActionListener Internface.
Added code so it supports ActionListener Interface
JApplet does not allow acces to the systems clipboard.
Found some code for excessing the systems clipboard but not implemented
Signed Password5.jar file which makes copy and paste possible
Applets do not have access to the sun Base64 so wrote my own methods
Wrote costum component MyLabeledTextField. (JTextfield with label in front)
Adjusted focus system for MyLabeledTextField (JTextField can also be a JPasswordField)
Wrote method so applet can read a file from its origin
Finally wrote a small applet that calculates the encrypted string (From username and secet filename)
Unsolved is a bug
Thread behavior is strange
Although executed from the event thread
The thread stops at a constructor
Then continues in a totaly other place and tries to add a Listener to the not constructed component.
Same thread but redirected by the JVM to another place
(System.out.println(Thread.currentThread()); It throws an error but it stays working
I could be wrong but it looks like a JVM bug

I'm so glad to have this space again!!! It's been way too long. Brief summary of my whereabouts is as follows:
I fucked up.
With that out of the way, let's get to business. Kanye West completely melted down on Twitter for a month straight leading to the release of
So Help Me God SWISH Waves The Life of Pablo. He dropped it on Tidal, and yeah… I wasn't going to do that. I've had this for a couple of weeks, and this is probably the weirdest Kanye album that I've ever heard, and I'm a guy that still doesn't "get" Yeezus.
Ultralight Beam
Kanye opens his album with gospel. He brings in Kirk Franklin and Kelly Price to try to welcome us to Yeezus's House. He has all kinds of heavenly noises floating around. He's taking us to a higher plane. A higher state of being. Yeezus is here to deliver us from bad Trap Beats. Let the church say, Ye-Men…
Father Stretch My Hands (1&2)
…That is until Kanye mentions banging bleached anuses within the first 45 seconds of Track 2. I legitimately turned this off and had to reconsider my life choices.
I definitely dig the beat on Part 2. I thought this was a great use of Future's gimmick on the feature, until I realized that it was dude named Desiigner, aka Discount Future. It's also cool that he gave the computer from "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" a feature at the end.
This track is drenched with Kanye's obsession with Taylor Swift, high fashion, and his own dick. Rihanna sounds great on the hook. Swizz Beatz seems to have stumbled into the recording session with his own microphone, plugged it in, and started doing some impromptu ad-lbs. No one really knows how he ended up here, but he's not leaving.
This is pretty dope. Sounds like a B-side from Yeezus. Not hating it at all.
Low Lights
This could have been the intro track to the album. Kanye used a sample to pretty much establish that people should worship him.
808s sound. A Young Thug feature. Kanye bragging about his cock. Na, b. Skip.
Freestyle 4
Despite Ye viewing himself as a demigod, this is the first time that I actually started worrying about his psyche. This isn't a song. He's not even rapping. He's just legitimately asking, or by the sound of his tone, daring, Kim Kardashian to have sex with him. He even breaks the rhythm and just straight up threatens her to fuck next to the dinner rolls. It's a way less romantic "Bound 2," which was his version of "Smooth Operator." Desiigner aka Faux Future limps back in toward the end of the track to attempt to classify this as music.
I Love Kanye
This is the Kanye that I became a fan of in 2004. Funny, charismatic, cocky, misogynistic, completely self-absorbed. This is the best Kanye West possible, and we only get it for 43 seconds.
I HATE that people like R. Kelly and Chris Brown are still successful in music. With that said, Chris Brown KILLS this feature. His voice sounds like flowing gravy over pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes. I was transported to a land where the sun is always the perfect temperature. Dude did his thing here. I don't even like Kanye on this song. I'm only here for Breezy.
This track screams 808s to me. I never cared for that album due to how depressing it is, so I'm usually opposed to anything that sounds like it. However, I like this track because it's the only one on this album truly like it, as opposed to the whole 808s just being a sad ass album. The content of this track is a pretty interesting look into Ye's mind. He's always fighting with himself, as we all do. I'm usually a sucker for these type of tracks, and this one is pretty good.
Real Friends
I really like this song. It's essentially Kanye's version of "No New Friends." Kanye is going to hate being compared to Drake, but dawg, this is exactly what Aubrey would do. Maybe that's the point?
An interesting mash up of concepts between 808s, Yeezus, and MBDTF. I still don't know if I like this. I don't reflexively skip this, but I'm not adding it to any of my long-term playlists. I will say that the Kanye Misogyny Gimmick is getting pretty old after twelve damn years. Women are sexual objects, we get it, Ye. It's interesting that marriage and parenthood hasn't changed that mindset (at least in his music). I get that hip hop is traditionally misogynistic, but Ye plays into that way too often for me.
Silver Surfer Intermission aka The Skit Made Irrelevant by Album Title Change
Max B annoyingly says "Wave" approximately 2,283 times in 51 seconds while on a prison phone call with Irish Vermont. Dassit.
30 Hours
This would have been a great outro if Kanye left well enough alone. I love this song. I'm just pissed that he got Andre 3000 in the booth in Monaco or whenever the hell he was recording this, and told him to feebly sing two words over the hook. I haven't heard a 3-Stacks verse that banged since the "Throw Some D's" remix. I miss him. This was Kanye's time to do something magical with him and Ye dropped the ball.
No More Parties in LA
This beat is ridiculous. You hear it and you want to crack an entire package of dry spaghetti in half. Not even just a few noodles at a time, but the entire package. All. At. Once.
This something right out of a Drake + Rick Ross collab. Funny that this track is essentially "I can out-Drizzy Drake, and I hate Nike."
This would be POPPIN' in Emerald City from The Wiz Live. Other than that, skip.
This album is all over the damn place. It still sounds unfinished. It doesn't have a clear theme or flow. It's scatterbrain. It sounds like someone took Kanye West's discography, played it on random, and made a mixtape of the first eighteen tracks. It just never hits a groove. There are tracks that I really like, tracks that I really hate, and tracks that I still don't know my feelings on. One thing that I do know: the lyrical content is pretty disappointing. There's no real evolution to Ye's content. He's a genius. He in love with himself. Women are merely cock docks, including his own wife. He idolizes high fashion. That's all that he's been about since College Dropout. I was hoping that fatherhood and marriage would bring about a different point of view, but that's me always looking for the best in people. Dude is willing to insult other people's children, so I guess shame on me for hoping for something new.
FINAL VERDICT: I don't absolutely hate it, but I don't even like it. "No More Parties in LA" is instantly in my Top 5 Kanye tracks ever. That's a 5-star joint, but it's an album full of 2s and 3s. 2.25/5 is my score. If I'm to rank it with his body of work, it looks like this:
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
College Dropout
Late Registration
The Life of Pablo
808s and Heartbreak
Thanks for rocking with me. I appreciate the love that you guys give me on Facebook and Twitter. It means a ton, especially since I just do this for fun. I promise I'm back for good, and I hope that you guys stick around with me as I rebuild my blawg empire stronger than ever before!

WWF Praises "American Clean Energy And Security Act" As Major First Step Toward Strong Climate Bill
Legislation Introduced Just Days After Earth Hour, when Millions of American's Called for Action on Climate Change by Turning off their Lights
- Date March 31, 2009
- In This Press Release
WASHINGTON, DC, March 31, 2009 – Dr. Richard H. Moss, vice president for climate change at World Wildlife Fund, today offered praise for the "American Clean Energy and Security Act" – a draft energy and climate change bill written by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Energy and Environment Subcommittee Chairman Edward Markey (D-MA). Moss issued the following statement:
"The American Clean Energy and Security Act, released today in draft form by Chairmen Waxman and Markey, is a major first step toward a strong cap and trade bill that will cut emissions, jumpstart a new clean energy economy, and strengthen the ability of the Obama administration to negotiate a fair and effective global climate deal this December in Copenhagen. This is a strong draft bill that addresses the key elements of a global solution to the climate crisis. We look forward to working with the Chairmen to make it even stronger prior to formal introduction.
"The discussion draft recognizes the need to substantially reduce greenhouse gases and provides a path towards achieving those reductions that is based on a clean, more energy efficient economy that will create jobs and strengthen our nation's energy security.
"I am particularly pleased that the draft bill recognizes the need to reduce emissions globally by promoting clean technology cooperation and providing incentives for reducing tropical deforestation. Emissions associated with the destruction of forests account for roughly 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions each year – more than the combined emissions of every automobile, train and plane on the planet.
"The draft bill also acknowledges the urgent need to prepare for and adapt to climate change impacts, both here at home and in the world's most vulnerable countries. Sustainable financing will be needed to support these key priorities, and we look forward to working with Chairmen Waxman and Markey and other members of the Committee to ensure that such financing is included in the bill when it is introduced.
"This past Saturday, millions of Americans joined with people from every corner of the planet in casting a decisive vote for action on climate change by turning off their lights for Earth Hour. As hundreds of cities and towns as well as major iconic landmarks went dark across the U.S., a strong message was sent to our leaders in Washington that the American people are demanding action to address the climate crisis.
"I commend Chairman Waxman and Chairman Markey for their strong leadership on this critical issue and I look forward to working with them, other members of the Committee, congressional leadership and the Obama administration to forge a strong, fair and effective bill to combat climate change and build a clean energy future."

I have learned how to use Adobe Fireworks during the first two weeks of our Web Design class. Fireworks seems to be a combination if Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Since I have used those programs already, It was relatively easy for me to get used too. For our first project, I learned how to create a Facebook page banner. I learned that banners are about the simplicity, keep it visual with minimal text. A helpful link that I thought was the most useful is, the 8 Best Practices for Effective Facebook Cover Photos. Here is the link, Facebook Cover Photos!
Here are the banners I created for my first project in my Web Design class.
I also learned about color theory. I found a helpful resource, Color Matters. The website explains the colors further, and also has links for Color & Branding. In our textbook, The Principles of Beautiful Web Design, Jason Beaird provides several sites for creating color schemes. The site, Color Scheme Designer 3 is a good resource to create interesting color combinations to create beautiful websites. Here is the link to Color Scheme Designer 3.
Finally, what I have been waiting for, HTML!! After watching some Lynda tutorials on HTML, I learned that in the Chrome browser, you can right click and then click on Inspect to inspect the code. The First step in HTML, is creating the doctype, which can vary depending on your version of HTML. I learned how to create headings, paragraphs and even emphasizing text. The tutorials shared a helpful link for learning HTML Elements, the site is helpful if you do not understand basic code. If you have never written code, I suggest Brackets because it is an open-source application and is available across Mac and PC users!
This is what I have learned the past two weeks; Adobe Fireworks, Color Theory, and HTML!

Yesterday in The New York Times, Eric Asimov wrote about the revolutionary step that winery Bonny Doon took five years ago: putting an ingredients list on their label. And how, basically, no one noticed. "Instead, he felt the wind of chilly indifference," Asimov writes of Randall Grahm, Bonny Doon's proprietor. "The silence left Mr. Grahm, who revels in playing the provocateur, scratching his head."
"I imagined it would have an impact," he said by telephone. "I wasn't sure if there would be a backlash, or they would be freaked out, but most people haven't really noticed. In a perfect outcome, I would have liked to see interest, and gradually the start of a drumbeat about transparency."
It's slightly nonsensical, but unsurprising, that people don't seem to care very much about what's in their alcoholic beverages. We all know eaters who are incredibly health-conscious, or vegan, etc., but how many of those same folks will drink just about anything? I've heard health-conscious friends declare with glee, "Look, this wine is bio-dynamic!" but who also happily drink mass-produced, industrial wine, beer and liquor without a thought.
And what of Proposition 37, the upcoming California referendum that, if passed, would require genetically modified products to be labeled as such? Does that mean we'll find out if our liquors are made with genetically modified corn or grain?
Nope -- Prop 37 exempts alcohol.

So why don't we care what's in our booze? Is it because we figure it's already bad for us, so why bother to know anything beyond that? Or is there a sense that because it's fermented, nothing that bad could come through the process and into the bottle?
Like Mr. Asimov, I appreciate the jump Bonny Doon took in their quest for transparency, and I hope to see a public that pushes for more information on what goes into the bottles they buy. Not because I'm some sort of health nut, but because, like food, it's usually safe to assume that the better the ingredients that go into a product, the better it will taste.

A Memo for the Class of 1997: What To Take to College
Commencement is past and things are settled down to the quieter life of a campus in summer. Already groups of incoming freshmen are coming to campus for orientation. I've been thinking about some of the intangibles I hope they'll bring with them in the fall. The "packing list'' I've made also necessarily offers a few clues about what professors are like, or think they are, and how they hope their students will be at least a little bit like them.
Please bring:
1. A reading habit. Reading certainly isn't the only powerful medium of learning. But reading is by far the most flexible and convenient medium; you can go find another book or article or turn back a few pages in the one you've been reading, any time. You'll be much more in tune with things brought up in your classes if you read regularly a news or opinion magazine or two and a good daily newspaper. A great many professors start their days with a newspaper, and are dismayed when they refer to something that has been on the front page all week and their students look blank.
2. Some enjoyment of writing. What, enjoy? Certainly not all the time, and especially not when you're under pressure to meet a deadline. But many of us think that you don't really know what you think about something until you've struggled to get your thoughts to come out clearly on paper. If you're allergic to writing you might try doing a bit more about whatever interests you, when you're not under pressure. The best way to enhance your ability to judge and improve your own writing is to read a lot of reasonably serious adult stuff and then go back and look at your own writing again.
3. As much background in a foreign language and in math as possible. This may be too late for the class of 1997, but there may still be some time for a summer course or for some brushing up before a placement test. Most universities now have requirements, usually very modest, of a certain level of knowledge of mathematics and of one foreign language. It's a terrible waste of a chunk of those four years in college to be chipping away at something you should have learned years before.
4. Some beginnings of moral concern and commitment. If you're one of that pitiful part of our population who think there's nothing to life except earning money and spending it and partying, please work on growing up a bit before next fall. Most professors are doing what they do because they think they're working on something really important, and they tend to talk to students as if they might get worried about, or involved in, or committed to, some of the same things, or even something quite different. You've probably heard a commencement speech or two about how the world is facing some pretty intractable problems. You may have encountered some of them on a big-city street corner, or in your own life, or in news from half a world away. Finally, if you bring a sense of urgency about a problem or two with you, you'll catch on to more of what your professors are saying, respond more, and learn more.
5. An open mind. Please come with some ability to tolerate uncertainty, to hold a taste or conviction and still take seriously arguments or evidence against it, and to entertain the possibility that you might be wrong, or at least have a lot to learn. You may come with conservative free-enterprise convictions, and encounter an intelligent left-leaning professor, or vice-versa. You're likely to meet professors and other students whose religious views are sharply different from yours. Good. Learn from them. Grow more secure and articulate in your own convictions, or face up to their limitations, or even change them.
6. Openness to new interests. Allergic to science? Hated literature in high school? Give anything you've studied and disliked previously another fair hearing; frequently the approach is different in college, and you may find it more interesting. Try to figure out why that person in front of the class cares so deeply about this subject that she wants to spend a busy and poorly paid life working on it. If you can't figure it out, ask her. (But be sure to have a half hour to spare; a lot of us get carried away when we're asked that kind of question.)
7. A commitment to putting your studies first. Yes, there will be friends, and parties, and big personal changes. But those will be there after college, too. And if you've slopped and dodged through these four years, you don't get to do them over again.
8. Awareness that your goals may change. You're likely to find out about a subject or career you never heard of before, or acquire a new concern or commitment, or find that you're really not very good at what you thought you wanted to study, or that it bores you. Fine. Many, many students, including many of the best and most thoughtful, change their majors and career goals while they're in college. Too many students waste time and emotional energy sticking to a course of study because they've been taught you can do anything if you try hard enough (which is not so), or because their parents won't hear of a change.
(Parents please note. And parents please try to have a bit of patience if your students go through some changes. Work on treating them as adults, and on being at least a bit interested in what they're interested in. A lot of us are parents too, and we're rooting for the students to grow and find something they care about and do well. Isn't that what we all want for them?)

Buying real estate can be a whirlwind – and if you've been following along for the past month, you know I've been in the middle of it myself! But it worked out, and my family and I landed our dream house in 28 days. Next week we'll be hearing from a panel of experts about how to buy real estate, but I thought I'd share my story first as a prequel.
In this episode I break down both the story of how we speedily secured our mortgage, and the story of how we ended up moving into the same house my husband lived in when we first met in 2011. It was a rapid and often crazy process, but there are some excellent lessons you can take from our speedy real estate experience.
I'll share some tips about interacting with your lender and your real estate agent, why you should get pre-qualified and pre-approved for a mortgage, and how we stuck up for ourselves when we had two lenders. And next week we'll learn even more about the ins-and-outs of landing your dream home.
And if you've got a couple minutes to spare, please hop on over to my less-than-five-minute podcast listener survey and tell me what you like, dislike, and want more of from Profit Boss® Radio. I want to help you achieve your financial goals, so be sure to let me know how I can help you get there!
Listen To The Full Interview:

What You'll Learn From This Episode:
- Why my family and I hadn't wanted to buy a house, until we were told we HAD to move.
- Why we opted to take out the maximum mortgage on our new home instead of pay cash.
- The low-down on our speedy mortgage lending process.
- The benefits of getting pre-qualified and approved for a mortgage (which we would have done if we had time!).
- How we strategically placed an offer on our #1 house – and got it!
- Why you should be ready to negotiate UP when placing an offer on your potential home.

Congratulations on getting such a phenomenal interest rate! I would love to know a little more. From everything I've seen from current mortgage rates to talking to brokers I thought rates as low as 3.25% were not being offered anymore. I would love to know more. Was it a 30 year fixed? Did you have to have additional qualifications like a premiere banking relationship? I've currently got a 30 year fixed at 3.75% on a non-conforming loan and plenty of equity (LTV is well under 50%) . Would love any tips you can share on how to refi for a lower rate.
Hi Kelly! I don't have any tips beyond the obvious; timing, credit score, we did a 30% down payment. Rates change every day so I'm sure it's just a function of timing as rates are going up now. Good luck!
