The vast openness of reality can't be known through the filter of thought. Reality knows itself by being here and now, being the present moment. Being reality, it is what is actually here and now. Being reality, it is our awareness of being present here and now. What is the ultimate meaning of our life as a human being? Being here and now is it. The analogy of a cinema screen if often used in pointing to the relationship between reality, or awareness itself, and its expressions. In the movie theater, we observe, we witness the many flickering images on the screen. We enjoy the movie to the extent that we are able to identify with, and get involved with the story on the screen. The pictures on the screen aren't real to the extent that they are only light reflected on the screen. The screen itself is the actual substance and source of the pictures reflected on it. No matter how emotionally caught up we get in the movie, we know there is nothing real happening on the screen. The screen of reality, our awareness of being present, is the background and actual substance of our experience. Our seeing, hearing, feeling, and thinking are reflections of the presence looking out from our eyes. Of course the cinema screen isn't a perfect analogy. We can form a concept of the cinema screen. Reality itself can't be caught by any of our attempts to define or perceive it. It is what makes defining and perceiving possible, but it's free of all definition and perception.
If we learn to just witness our sensory experience, we can begin to develop an intuitive awareness of this spaceless and timeless presence giving rise to all our experience. Thoughts come and go, sights, sounds, and feelings come and go. They arise as a reflection on the screen of our awareness, but pass away in the continual flow of our experience. That which witnesses our experience is there before, during, and after any particular experience passes away. The awareness we are doesn't come and go with our experience, it is the vast timeless expanse out of which all experience arises. Just as the cinema screen effortlessly welcomes and is unmoved by the many pictures flashing on it, the screen of our awareness effortlessly welcomes and reflects all of our experience as it flows by.
In meditation practice we learn to identify with our awareness of just being present. Meditation can be described as the refusal to attach to thoughts. All of our sensory experience is colored by our thoughts. As we learn to become witnessing observers of our experience by not making efforts to control it, we can begin to sense the presence of that which is unchanging amidst our ever changing experience. The simple awareness of being present is what doesn't change amidst our experience. We can't try to be this awareness of being present, because we always already are this presence before we try to be it. In fact the effort to be it, blocks our ability to realize we are it. The first mistake most of us make in practicing meditation is to make witnessing awareness into an object to be grasped, whereas it is simply the Seer of all objects that arise, and it is 'felt' only as a great background sense of Freedom and Release from all objects. Awareness itself is free of all the concepts we attempt to label it with. So the felt sense of our aware presence, the feeling of our aliveness, is not the feeling of a separate self, it is the feeling, it is the aliveness of spirit itself. In meditation, and in living our daily lives, we are receiving, finding, and learning to live as the aliveness of spirit in the form of a human being.
Resting in that Freedom and Emptiness, and impartially witnessing all that arises, we will notice that the separate self, or ego, simply arises in consciousness like everything else. We can actually feel the self contraction, just like we can feel our bodies, a chair, or any other object. The self-contraction is a feeling of interior tension, often localized behind the eyes, and anchored in a slight muscle tension throughout the bodymind. It is an effort and sensation of contracting in the face of the world. It is a subtle whole-body tension. Once people become comfortable resting as the empty witness, and once they notice the tension that is the self-contraction, they imagine that enlightenment won't happen unless they get rid of the self-contraction. Just that is the second mistake, because it actually locks the self-contraction firmly into place. It is the ego that is trying to get rid of the ego. Ego is not a thing but a subtle effort, and we can't use effort to get rid of effort, we end up with two efforts instead of one.
We assume the self contraction hides or obstructs spirit, whereas in fact it is simply a radiant manifestation of spirit itself, like every other form in the universe. All forms are not other than expressions of the alive support and love of spirit. Spirit is our awareness of being present that we share with all beings.

Saitama Bank
Saitama Bank (埼玉銀行 Saitama ginkō) is a Japanese bank founded in Saitama Prefecture 1943. After a series of bank mergers and corporate restructuring, the Saitama Resona Bank (埼玉りそな銀行 Saitama risona ginkō) emerged as the leading bank in Saitama Prefecture.[1]
The head office of Saitama Bank was located in Urawa, Saitama with more than 170 branches in Japan. Overseas branches included Singapore, London, New York, Hong Kong and Brussels.[2]
In 1990, the bank's financial instability was revealed. Its directors were alleged to have mismanaged corporate assets and breached fiduciary duties by purchasing a large block of stock in a Japanese manufacturing company at what were grossly inflated prices.[3]
In 1991, Kyowa Bank and Saitama Bank merged to form one of the world's largest banks with deposits totaling about $177 billion.[4] This was construed as triggering reorganization of Japan's banking industry.[5] In 1992, the combined banks were renamed Asahi Bank; and this bank merged with Daiwa Bank in 2002.[6]
In 2002, corporate restructuring established Resona Holdings and the Saitama Resona Bank.[7]

Damien Chazelle, director
with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.
Two creative young people meet on the Los Angeles freeway when stuck in traffic, and later, have other encounters which draw them together and they fall in love. The movie is about the struggle of being a musician and an actress, how hard it is to succeed, how magical it can be to fall in love, but how rare it is to stay together.
The movie tries hard to be a musical, but it keeps starting and stopping, and does not maintain a rhythm that succeeds in telling its story in a convincing way. Of course this is not a realistic picture. How often do you see stalled traffic result in people jumping out of their cars to sing and dance? Or on visiting the planetarium, dance while levitating in the heavens depicted on the ceiling?
You are either charmed by this sort of thing or you are not. But I couldn't help thinking, unless you are going to hire first rate musicians and choreographers, you are going to be compared to better musicals, and fall flat. There is a singular lack of musical zip.
Add to that the slow pace of everything, including the tempo of the music. Emma Stone's face does not bear up to extreme close ups. Yet the director cannot get enough of her. I much prefer Ryan Gosling who is charming throughout. And there are many good things about the movie, including its vaulted ambition. How marvelous to want to make a romantic musical centered on two of our most appealing talented young actors. The sets and use of Los Angeles, the attention to jazz and acting as worthwhile pursuits, the use of coffee shops and Warner Brothers sets paying homage to the old greats like Ingrid Bergman, these are wonderful. There are many scenes that click too, for instance when Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) drives his gas guzzling car to Boulder City Nevada to fetch Mia for an important audition. When he blares his horn, and she hears it inside, it is a lovely moment. Even their fight over their individual ambitions and their conflicts does work.
It is the music that alienated me, beginning with the first song. If you are going to have a musical, you need to have big songs sung with great conviction
This never happens. Also the choreography is weak, and weakly danced. It is as if the actors knew they couldn't top Astaire and Rogers or even Gene Kelly and Mickey Mouse, so they didn't even try.
The more I think of the movie it left a quick sour aftertaste (why does everyone rave about it so?) which slowly mellows into an acceptance of a director whose ambition is laudable. I only wish he had hired better song and dance creators.

Joyce * * * * ½
Don * * * * *
(Dark drama/comedy)
I was completely mesmerized by this clever, profane morality play, while Joyce liked it almost as much.
Frances McDormand plays Mildred Hayes, a foul-mouthed, bitter, revengeful mother of a teenage daughter who was raped and murdered. Mildred is outraged by the lack of progress by the local police in solving the crime, driven to the point of renting three billboards to express her feelings toward local police chief Willoughby (Woody Harrelson).
While Mildred rages away against the chief, he finds himself sympathetic toward her. But he has his own problems. He is dying of cancer.
Sam Rockwell plays Dixon, a cop with some big anger issues, making him a suspect. John Hawkes plays Mildred's ex-husband who has taken up with a 19-year-old girl. Lucas Hedges plays Mildred's son who, like most people associated with her, is affected by her determination to solve the case. There are bar fights, police brutality, bombings and a variety of violent acts as Mildred relentlessly tries to do what the police have failed to do.
If all of this sounds like a real downer, it is far from it. We root for the angry woman. We feel great sympathy for the police chief. We hate the angry cop. And we laugh at the interactions.
McDormand is a sure pick for Best Actress, as you find yourself rooting for her in spite of her outrageous behavior. Harrelson, in a smaller role, also has us on his side. Peter Dinklage has a smaller (no pun intended) role as a man who is bullied because of his size and comes to the aid of Mildred, stealing the movie at the great, creative ending. Few movies have held our interest like "Three Billboards," and even fewer have given us such a clever ending. In spite of the violence and profanity, the film is loaded with hope, redemption and moral issues.
If excessive profanity bothers you, it may distract from the powerful moral impact of the movie. Stay with it, let it immerse you in its points of view, and go home with much to think about.
Rated a big R for the reasons noted.

St. Louis (my home town) has a new feather in their already full cap of great museums – the National Blues Museum. Ah, the soulful Blues! When it comes to pinpointing a birthplace, there is no one agreed on place. The reason being that the roots of Blues music are tied to a people and their culture that were spread across the Mississippi Delta and not one place. More than one American city will claim to be the home of the Blues which just proves that this genre is uniquely American and widespread.
The Blues were born out of African-American culture in the deep south and expressed emotional truths and feelings that were prevalent in the late 1880's. Sadness, solitude, despair, hardships, and pain. Field hands, slaves, and prisoners would sing aloud as a means of seeking solace in their unempowered and uncontrolled lives. This honest style of music was so compelling that it appealed to many and became the cornerstone of all modern American Music, most notably, Rock N Roll.
"Professional" Blues musicians started showing up in the early 20th century when a great migration of African-Americans moved from the rural south to urban centers in the midwest and the north. Many got their start traveling in tent and medicine shows and the music began to get noticed. St. Louis was one of the cities where musicians settled and saw the rise to famous musicians like Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, and Albert King.
The museum just opened in March, 2016 and is housed in a refurbished downtown department store where $14 million and 23,000 square feet bring to life the history and sounds of the Blues. Exhibits are interactive and engage you in participation. Upon entering, visitors are encouraged to write their own lyrics on a screen and then add musical notes on guitar, harmonica and piano at different stages throughout the museum. Your musical masterpiece is be emailed to you later.
In the Jug Band Room you are invited to pick up an instrument like the washboard, spoons, or shakers and take a lesson. The computer in front of you adds your face and musical notes to a real band performing on the screen. The museum also looks at how evolving technology fostered the spread of the Blues across regions, continents and oceans, from sheet music to jukeboxes to digital downloads and social media. To bring the Blues to life, the museum features a stage and nightclub where live music is played.
St. Louis is filled with many wonderful attractions and there is no shortage of things to do and see there. The National Blues Museum is definitely one that will draw people in with its informative and interactive qualities and soulful vibe.
Have you ever wanted to sell everything you own and just "take off?" Travel the country's back roads, paddle down a meandering stream, experience breath-taking mountain views, walk among 100-year old trees, and just marvel at America's beauty? That is the dream that my partner, Betsy, and I decided to make a reality. This blog describes our adventure. The food we eat, people we meet, sights we see, and the enjoyment we find in traveling.

8 issues of Interface Magazine

I really am so happy to see paperwork like this being recognized for the fantastic historical record that it is. Within the toy industry for example (my other pursuit) issues of 'Playthings Magazine' from the '80s are quite hard to come by, and are fetching between $20 and $150 a pop! Will be fun to see how well these rare issues do at auction.ReplyDelete
Truth be said Charlie, I'm quite interested myself. Never seen any copies of Interface on eBay before... BTW, did you fix your RSS feed? Still can't get it to work with Google Reader.ReplyDelete
Hmm, still doesn't work? Curses! I did work on it a few weeks ago, total overhaul, and thought it was ok. Thanks for the clue :-)ReplyDelete
At least I noticed the facebook and twitter buttons :)ReplyDelete
Yes, I'm trying to drag myself kicking and screaming into this 'modern age'...ReplyDelete
Hooray for that!ReplyDelete

Hey all!
I just finished reading When We Collided, by Emery Lord.
"Seventeen-year-old Jonah Daniels has lived in Verona Cove, California, his whole life and only one thing has changed: his father used to be alive, and now he's not. Reeling from the tragedy, Jonah must take care of his family.
Enter Vivi Alexander, new girl in town.
Vivi is in love with life. A gorgeous, unfiltered hurricane of thoughts and feelings, she transforms Jonah's family and changes his life.
But there are always consequences when worlds collide..."
This book was cute! The blurb is somewhat misleading, to be honest. When We Collided is presented in two point of views - Vivi's and Jonah's. To me, Vivi felt like the main character between the two, maybe because she was so much more outspoken than Jonah.
These two characters are vastly different. Vivi has a bipolar disorder, but hides it under an eccentric personality. She brings Jonah and his 5 siblings back to life, in the sense that she teaches them the meaning of having fun again. Jonah is not the oldest child in the family, but he acts like the parent since his dad died and his mom is suffering for a sort of depression. He is more quiet and reserved, but loves cooking.
Warning, it was very insta-lovey between them. I mean within the first 5 chapters or so, they were together. But I guess the book had to be that way, because it was about them trying to figure each other out, especially about Jonah trying to understand and deal with Vivi. Them 'colliding' was beneficial to each other in the long run, but at first she did seem to really just push herself onto him, and he just seemed to accept it. Not really shipping them...
What I did enjoy is how the story was told. I haven't read many books about people with mental disorders - the main one I can think of right now is The Shock of the Fall, which I highly enjoyed. This one was almost set up in the same way - the main character never says whats wrong until the last few chapters. This book did it well, but had less of an impact. A few times, Vivi left me feeling confused and upset at her for treating her friends in family the way she did, until I understood what was going on.
However, I did enjoy Vivi's brightness. She painted life and ideas so vividly (pun not intended), you couldn't help but want to just go full carpe diem all day! Also, her relationship with Jonah's siblings was amazing, I loved those parts so much! :D
Overall I'm giving this a 3.5/5 stars. I enjoyed reading it, it was cute, but it didn't completely blow my mind, or made me very emotional.
Have you read When We Collided? What did you think about it? Let me know! :D
Have a great day!

It's good enough to read for sure, but it just didn't amaze me. Try it out, though! :)Delete
I'm glad you liked this one! I loved it, despite the insta love. The author handled mental illness fabulously. :D Great review!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Erin! I really agree, she handled it super well! She didn't make the book all about it, which I really appreciated :)Delete
Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this post!
Any and all comments make me smile, and I will reply to all of them!

Going to the Disney California Adventure Park in 2015? Families who make memories in the park find themselves overwhelmed at the combination between Disneyland and something that you might find at a pier setting in Southern California. There are some wonderful rides you can take with your family and the kids will appreciate it!
So Disney California Adventure rides better than Disneyland rides? Not exactly but what is interesting is these rides offer a different type of thrill and the kids love it to death!
So what Disney California rides are not to miss for the kids?
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Some of these floors seem to be a bit but the older kids – teens and tweens – will love this ride. Minimum height is 40 inches and even if the younger kids don't get a chance to ride, make sure they get a chance to see the gift store. There's quite a few interesting items in the store.
Radiator Springs Racers. It's a must take a road trip to Radiator Springs and then race around the track in Ornament Valley. It's delightful to the kids get a chance to have a little speed a lot of wonderful moments.
Toy Story Midway Mania. This attraction is a must do for anyone who is interested in Toy Story or someone who loves videos. Sometimes the line is a little bit long, so make sure you make this ride a priority before the day is long!
Golden Zephyr. Cool rockets rip around in circles and the kids will be screaming for joy! One of the best kept secrets at Disney California Adventure, once you go on a ride like this it's hard not to want to go again.
The Little Mermaid Ariel's Undersea Adventure. Ariel invites all guests to check out her life under the sea. Combining a clamshell ride with songs, dancing and music this is nothing short of a wonderful journey.
Grizzly River Run. This whitewater adventure for youngsters who have a minimum height of 42 inches. However once your raft starts going down the whitewater you forget how tall or short you are as the roar of the thundering water seems to take you away in a fun journey
Soaring Over California. More amazing views are found as guests are given a lift and ushered across the sky in this amazing flight simulator.
While the kids might not be impressed with all the Disney California Adventure rides, they definitely will love getting a chance to experience Disney's unique way of presenting their characters!
Ready to have a great time on your Disneyland vacation in 2015? Well check out my Disney California Adventure Guidebook to know before you go. Plus it's only $0.99!

|Blackberry lillies in a row outside of our little garden. The cat has been running around the bed!!!
|Nigel is a few inches taller.
|I've been cooking a storm. I think cooking is definitely becoming my next favourite craft. Seafood egg noodles anyone?
|Black Pepper Beef Udon Stir-fry
|I even made Lamingtons. I think classic bakes are making a comeback.
|What are Lamingtons? Well, they're decadent chocolate blocks soaked in melted chocolate...
|....and rolled in desiccated coconut!
|Apparently Stan's favourite.
|My sister in law, Victoria made this classic dessert, Jello in an orange. We were guessing how she did it, but she said the watermelon one her mom made when she was younger is even more of a wonder!
|Received a special package I ordered from Etsy. Stamping tools.
|With a pack of washers I bought from the DIY store awhile ago awaiting my parcel I decided to gather my guts to finally try the stamping tool on 'made-in-Italy' washers. They're so shiny!
|Aaaaargh! After a whole pack, I finally figured out that I need to stamp them on hard floors, not carpeted. So after a whole entire pack....I finally got 1 right! GEEEZER!
|BE BRAVE! I was, really, after the ruckus and the hammering, I finally got one done.
|Coloured it with an Artline. Polished away the excess and...
|Voila. Now to thread this with leather and make into a cute bracelet for Nigel.
|I was back at crocheting. This time, it's a classic scarf by a classic pattern my pal Paul translated for me. He's a wonderful guy who crochets and knits as well. He's fantastic at reading the patterns and drafting them out in patterns for me to do.
|I made a Lychee Custard Pie.
|Cookie base, chocolate coated, lychees and peaches all round and a generous sprinkle of croquants!
|Made breakfast with bacon and eggs in a muffin tin. They're so cute. These were easy to bake. Line the muffin tray with bacon. Bake a couple of minutes, crack egg into cavities and tada! Breakfast for the champions!
|Made macadamia cupcakes for a family gathering up in Gentings.
|Played with fondant.
|Tested a snowflake mould. These were tiny and fragile.
|Caught up with family
|Nigel and his cousins!
|What do you do with leftover creamcheese frosting? You make French Toast and have it together for breakfast! I discovered that you can actually keep excess frosting in the fridge for some time and use it whenever you feel like dessert. But in our case, breakfast!
|Mine had toasted macadamia.
|Nigel had to add a drizzle of honey on his. YUMMILICIOUS!
|More cupcakes for Sunday
|A simple orange poppyseed cupcake, cream cheese frosting drizzled with dark chocolate. That reminds me, I need to get a drizzle fork!

This is a simple project that you can do in an hour. Supplies needed:
Large frame (look at a thrift store)
Piece of sheet metal (Home Depot)
Tin snips
Spray paint (and spray primer if the frame is metal or you are changing to a drastically different color)
Magnets/Magnetic organizers (optional)
I wanted a magnet board for my office to hang my calendar and paper work I wanted off my desk. I went to good will and found a large picture for around $20 and I simply painted the frame and purchased a large piece of sheet metal at Home Depot (in the plumbing section - the sheet metal is about twice the size of the board you see here, so you can get two boards out of one piece! The metal was around $15). I used tin snips to cut it to the right size. I found a magnetic cup holder and file holder at Target to hold my pens and my papers)
I just made another one for my daughter's room to display her artwork and I also am going to hang some cute printable quotes on it. This is a fun and easy way to keep organized!

Producer: Sprecher Brewing Company
Obtained At: The Bottle Shop, Longmeadow, MA
Container: 12 ounce glass bottle
Ingredients: Malt beverage with natural and artificial flavors and artificial color and caramel color
Caffeine: No
Another hard root beer, another great drink from Wisconsin. I acquired this one on the same trip as Not Your Father's, along with a root beer whiskey I will review eventually. I love Sprecher Root Beer so I was very excited to try their alcoholic root beer. The label is pretty standard and keeps with the rest of the Sprecher brand. The root beer is delicious. You can tell it's alcoholic, but it is much less schnapps-like than Not Your Father's. This tastes more like root beer, which is good. Overall, this is a great hard root beer and worth a try for any root beer enthusiast.

I made all the unnecessary, spontaneous baby chick purchases in March.
The baby chicks are no longer babies and were initiated into the big flock last week. This involves, sleepovers, shut-ins, lock-downs, and involuntary chicken confinement for all our birds.
We keep our chickens "The Redneck Way" and this involves:
- no fences
- no runs
- no yards
- no boundaries
- no feed bills
- no GMO chicken feeds
- healthy chickens
- healthy eggs
- chickens everywhere
If you haven't heard about our obscure, chicken-keeping methods go here to read how we do it.
When your chickens are allowed to roam free throughout the universe, you can't just "add" new chickens to your flock whenever you want.
Any new chickens must be taught that our coop is their new home. A good home. A safe home. A home they should sleep in every night. A home they should return to when the sun goes down.
You must teach them to, "Go home to roost."
I guess we aren't really teaching them to "go home" as much as we are teaching them "where home is."
If you don't convince them that they love their new home, you may be chasing them around 24 acres at dark-thirty and shoving them into the coop every night. Ugh.
Teaching a new-comer where home is and to come back to it every night is not complicated. It is not hard. It does take a little time and endurance.
If you are starting with a fresh flock, and there are no poultry currently residing in your coop, this is easy. Just move all the chickens to the coop. Keep them closed in with food and water (of course) for a few days and then set them all free. Its amazing. It's astounding.
Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough to keep them from the coop. When the sun goes down, the chickens go in.
It's the coolest thing.
We have been keeping chickens this way for years.
It gets a little hairy when you purchase new chicks and want to add them to your current, coop-trained flock. The new guys won't necessarily "follow" all the big chickens into bed at night. They may decide that trees and bushes are better than the coop. Or better yet, they may go in search of the brooder they have been living in for the past several weeks. After all, that is "home" to them.
You must train the rookies that the big coop is home and that's where they want to be.
So, everyone gets to have a sleepover!
The current flock, the current ducks, and the new kids on the block all get to, "go camping" in the coop. Yay!
It's like when I was a kid and they had, "lock-ins" at church. Everyone has food, water, hay, everything they need – and you lock them in.
Gives a new meaning to:
"Jail Birds"
Keep everyone indoors for a couple of days & then let them out. Between
- The 3 day lock down
- Going "out" the chicken door so they know how to get back in
- and the fact that all the other 30 birds are going back into the big coop
There's a good chance all the newbies will follow the leaders and make it to bed.
If there's a straggler or two who can't figure out how to get back into the coop, just gently "herd" them up the chicken ramp and in the door.
Tomorrow they may get it.
If you haven't already -be sure to sign up to get all the latest homesteading fun! By email: (here)

Scheduler deadlock
One common approach to creating tasklets, is to wrap the callable that will run within the newly created tasklet in a function that captures exceptions.
Something like the following:
import traceback def create_tasklet(f, *args, **kwargs): try: return f(*args, **kwargs) except BaseException, e: # Let TaskletExit, SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt raise up. if isinstance(e, SystemExit, KeyboardInterrupt): raise e traceback.print_exc()Another exception that is worth handling especially, is RuntimeError. In the case where the last tasklet tries to block, the scheduler will instead raise a RuntimeError on it in order to prevent deadlock. Catching this exception and showing what the main tasklet is doing, and why it is blocked, is helpful. That is assuming you are running the scheduler in the main tasklet.
Something like the following:
import traceback def create_tasklet(f, *args, **kwargs): try: return f(*args, **kwargs) except BaseException, e: if isinstance(e, RuntimeError) and e[0].startswith("Deadlock:"): print "Deadlocked tasklet, the main tasklet is doing the following:" traceback.print_stack(stackless.main.frame) # Let TaskletExit, SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt raise up. elif isinstance(e, SystemExit, KeyboardInterrupt): raise e traceback.print_exc()For future reference, the situation where I needed this was where I was polling for completed asynchronous file IO events. In theory this was programmed to do so in a way where it would schedule any tasklets blocked waiting for their IO to complete, so they would run when the scheduler was pumped next. However, due to a race condition the main tasklet sent the results of the IO operation to the channel before the tasklet doing the operation itself blocked to wait for those results. Then when the other tasklet itself blocked, the deadlock situation occurred.

Craft Show time will be here before I know it...so I've been trying to get a little bit done each week. But with the craziness that it is life these days, I haven't spent a lot of time in my craft room. I did manage to finish this very simple project. Sadly, it took almost three weeks to do it! But I'm happy with the results!
I've picked up lots of little bowls at thrift stores...painting them all fun colors seemed like a good idea, as I shared in this post. Getting the final coats of paint on all these bowls seemed to take forever. But they are finally done!
They make fun little sets...don't you think!!?
I'm on a roll.....I hope!
P.S. Since I had the paint out, I spruced up an old bread board too!

Guest post by Kat Biggie
International Bereaved Mother's Day was Sunday, May 5th. Every year this is a special day to honor those mothers who will not be able to celebrate the day with their child, but should still be recognized as a mother.
Watching a friend suffer the loss of a child or baby is one of the most difficult situations you may ever encounter in life. Loss and death combined with what is typically a positive, joyous occasion puts millions of women suffering through major loss at a major disadvantage, while their friends struggle to know what to do and say.
There are few words, and even the words you do find never seem to be enough or appropriate. This type of unexpected grief can be extremely isolating to the mother who has experienced the loss of a baby, exacerbated by friends and family who often do not know how to respond or react.
No mother wants to think that losing a baby can happen to her, and yet Hope Exchange cites two million pregnancy losses each year in the United States. The statistics provided for pregnancy loss by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) are also astonishing. The CDC also estimates an additional 25,000 infants die each year. Baby loss can happen to any mother at any time and the pain and grief can take a tremendous toll on the emotional and physical well being of the mother and her family.
We tend to follow every moment of a celebrity that is pregnant, but I was shocked when I saw the list of famous mamas who have suffered from miscarriage or infant loss. Celebrity Babies (People Magazine) provides a full list of celebrities who have miscarried or had a stillborn baby. This list includes Courtney Cox, Tori Amos, Audrey Hepburn, Pamela Anderson, Brooke Shields, Marilyn Monroe, Oprah Winfrey, and many, many more. Allison Rosen, an infertility therapist is quoted in the New York Times as saying:
"People don't understand the deep connection to the unborn child, and they don't understand it's the death of what feels, to the potential parents, like a real person. The grief is so silent."
Infant loss during the first year is especially difficult. The unexpected nature of the loss brings pain, and the pain becomes fresh again as she passes through all of the "markers" and baby anniversaries. Rather than feel helpless when a friend or family member loses a child and saying and doing nothing in response, here are some actions you can take to support your friend or loved one through their loss.
Months 1-3
Visit often, but not too often. Even if she says she does not want visitors, show up anyway, even if to just drop off some food or a gift of encouragement. I thought I wanted to be alone in my grief after I lost my baby when she was only two days old, but was always relieved when I received visitors. Ignore protestations at least until you can assess how welcome you are, yourself.
Take meals. More than once. There are many days that will be overwhelming throughout the first few months and even perhaps into the second year. You can use sites such as Care Calendar, which is an easy to access, online calendar to coordinate with other friends and families to provide meals. Those who want to help can sign up online for the day they will bring a meal or visit to help spread it out.
Talk about it with her! Don't pretend like nothing happened. Be sure to ask what she is comfortable talking about. Some loss mothers prefer not to talk about it, yet others find such healing and comfort in saying their baby's name. This baby is significant to the mother, and it is important to the mother that others recognize and remember the baby too. Even if only pregnant for a short time, mothers bond with their babies, and appreciate being recognized as a mother to that child. Read up on appropriate things to say or not to say after a loss of this nature. For some tips on things to say or not to say, read this: The Magic Words When Someone Loses a Baby. If all else fails, just let her know you are sorry for her loss and you are listening.
Make her laugh. This is important. Several days after my two-day-old daughter died, my sister and a friend came to visit one evening. My friend Debbie is a hoot. She had me laughing so hard and it felt really great. I really needed that. If you are not very comedic yourself, perhaps bring over a hilarious movie or find some funny YouTube clips.
Offer to help put away baby items. This is an extremely difficult task for a mother grieving the loss of her baby. You can volunteer to pack up clothing, toys, or nursery items and remove them for her if your friend is not up to handling this chore. Or volunteer to help her if she needs some support while she is doing this task.
Months 4-6
Continue some or all of the above and also:
Help with childcare. If your friend has other children, take them for an afternoon, evening, weekend, or whatever you can handle.
Send cards randomly. Not just once, but periodically. Especially around any significant dates that could trigger sadness like the due date, the anniversary of the death, or the date when a diagnosis was received. . Just when you think "she should be over it," send another card. It's quite possible, she will never be over her loss.
Take her out. Any place. And if she says no to your invitations, keep inviting her. Eventually she will be ready.
Show her you also remember the baby. Bring trinkets with the baby's name on it if she appreciates them. If you are unsure, make donations in the babies' name to appropriate foundations.
Encourage her to find a baby loss support group. Perhaps even do the research for her. First Candle is one organization that provides support to grieving families of infant loss. While you can listen to her all day, if you have never experienced this type of loss, it's difficult to understand. Your friend will benefit from being around mothers who "get her."
Months 6-12
Continue some or all of the above and also:
Help her get involved in Pregnancy and Infant Awareness Day. October 15th is International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. Most major metropolitan areas have events planned, such as walks to remember. Visit October 15th to find out more.
Be patient. Those who have never experienced a loss may find it very difficult to understand how a mother can grieve and mourn for so long. But this loss stays with a mother for a lifetime. She is not angling for attention. She is hurting. And sometimes year two is even more difficult.
If you attempt even a fraction of these steps, you are an outstanding friend and will make a big difference in supporting the grieving process of your friend. Of course, you can't take your friend's pain away. But you can do the next best thing: you can be there for her while she goes through it and hopefully ease her burden with your sturdy, non-judgmental precence.

Sgt. Brent Blankley expected to receive a flood of tips after he released a photo of two burglary suspects in November.
Surveillance photos of two men burglarizing a home are very clear, showing the men's facial features and builds. So far, only a few people have called CrimeStoppers with tips that haven't panned out.
Blankley said that the public has helped solve several recent crimes that he has publicized on the department's Facebook page and in local media.
"We receive a lot of tips. Lately, people have really been using the option to anonymously text us information. We've received photos of suspects from people and information that has helped us make arrests," he said.
In October, a CrimeStoppers caller received a $375 reward for identifying a 17-year-old accused of using a gun to rob EZ Shop on Greensboro Avenue. In November, CrimeStoppers paid $1,075 to six people who provided successful tips. CrimeStoppers has received 255 tips since January.
Several callers will often identify the same suspect. In those cases, reward money goes to the first person who contacted CrimeStoppers.
Blankley is hoping that someone will still identify the burglars pictured in the case he released in November.
The men entered the house on University Circle through the garage while the residents were asleep late Nov. 24 or early Nov. 25 — after the Iron Bowl. A laptop computer and iPhone 4 were stolen.
"Investigators are unsure if the suspects are local, or are fans that came in for the game because of the lack of information they have received from citizens," Blankley said in a second appeal for information that he released to news media on Wednesday.
"If you know the identity of the suspects and need cash for Christmas please call Tuscaloosa County Crime Stoppers at 205-752-STOP (7867) or Text "Tusc" and the suspect's information to CRIMES (274637)," he said. "If your information leads to an arrest you will receive a cash reward."

Now, given the complexities of pensions, you may still feel confused about all this. If so, we recommend you read the statements below.
1. You weren't told you could make AVCs to your occupational scheme
Were you made aware of the fact that you could have made Additional Voluntary Contributions to your existing occupational scheme?
2. You weren't told about higher costs
Did you know that you would be paying higher costs - money that significantly decreased your pension pot - with an FSAVC?
3. You weren't given information about how the funds in your FSAVC were invested
Were you given adequate information about how the precious funds you were ploughing into your FSAVC were to be invested?
4. You weren't told about employer contributions to an AVC
Did the advisor make it clear that your employer made contributions to your AVC, but not to your FSAVC? Did they also explain that the benefits of the AVCs did not extend to the FSAVC?
So what does all this mean to you?
Having read the statements above, you may now think that you were given poor advice and you may have been mis-sold a FSAVC. The fact is, if you were persuaded to pay contributions into one when you already had an occupational scheme, you may have been given incorrect advice.
Which is why we're only too happy to take on claims on behalf of people like you - and work for the outcome you deserve.
What can you do to seek compensation?
There are two main choices open to you. You can claim on your own, or use an expert like us. Now you may understandably want to know a little more about EMCAS - and why over 700,000 people choose to trust us with their claims.
If, however, you're ready for us to pursue your FSAVC Pension claim, we'd be delighted to help. If you've been a victom of FSAVC Pension mis-selling, you deserve financial justice.
Request a call back from one of our friendly, down-to-earth advisers by clicking here.
We'll call you back at a time convenient to you - and get the process started.

Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Hydrolyzed 100% Whey Protein Isolate, Gourmet Chocolate, 3 Pounds

Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Hydrolyzed 100% Whey Protein Isolate, Gourmet Chocolate, 3 Pounds
Protein supplements are popular when you're trying to build muscle mass. That's for the very specific reason that muscle mass consists of proteins. So, carbs and fats aren't going to do you much good. The body can turn those things into muscle mass, but it is a far lengthier process. In short, for building muscle you are going to need proteins. The Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Hydrolyzed uses whey protein isolates to give you more bang for your buck. You should use it if you want to build and maintain muscle mass, you want to use high-quality protein only. You want a low carb and aspartame-free solution that mix instantly and taste great. If you can check more than one of those points, you need to take a closer look t the Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Hydrolyzed supplement. Fortunately, you will have to look no further than this review.
The Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Hydrolyzed supplement is used to build and maintain lean muscle mass. I mentioned a lot of the why in the introduction, but this is as good a time as any to delve further into the topic. It's common knowledge if you want to build muscle mass that you should use protein supplements when training. It is not irrelevant. However, what supplement you decide to use.
Not all supplements are created equal, and I would never recommend anything that doesn't give you the best possible quality for your buck. Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Hydrolyzed is a high-quality whey protein using a 100% whey protein isolate. This gives you a product of the highest imaginable quality, without adding needless contaminants to your body.
For the past couple of decades, it has become a well-known fact that carbs, carbohydrates, are, in fact, invented by the devil. Ok, that's obviously an exaggeration as there are plenty of things carbs are actually good for. However, if you're aiming for weight loss or increasing your muscle mass, you should avoid them like the plague. Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Hydrolyzed has very few carbs and contains no aspartame.
With the lack of sugar or aspartame, you'd probably imagine Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Hydrolyzed tastes like shit. That's not the case. You can get it in multiple delightful flavors that will make it a joy to drink. Additionally, it mixes instantly. It is a common problem with protein products that they are hard to mix. This is more than just a little annoying when you're preparing your protein drink. It also detracts a lot from the experience. It's no fun getting chunks of protein powder instead of getting a smooth protein drink.
Would I recommend Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Hydrolyzed? If you're looking for a great high-quality protein product, then yes. It has great value for what you're paying. It's easy to mix and tastes great. These are factors that are important when I make a decision. Moreover, I can testify that it works very well at building muscle mass, which is after all the most important thing.

The Parisians Everyone Loves to Hate?
It was with some interest that I noticed this poster on the news kiosk.
Actually, it's a bit of hyperbole. The poll done for the magazine, Marianne, found that the French don't really hate Parisians. In fact, 68 percent of them have a good opinion of them. But those in the provinces also find Parisians more stressed, less smiley, less sympathetic, more aggressive, and less humorous. In addition, 71 percent consider Parisiens "plus snob." (I love this usage of "snob", by the way. It also sometimes appears as a verb. In English, the word "snob" is never used except as a noun. The adverb or adjective would be "snobbish" or "snobby.")
On the plus side, Parisiens are viewed as harder workers, more chic, better informed, more plugged in, more fulfilled, and more cultivated. Not a bad rap, I'd say.

it's the same story over here...the rest of the country is supposed to "hate" Toronto..for all the same reasons...too hard working, too stressed etc...however I don't think it's really true for the most part but the myth persists

The journal's poll may have found that most French are fond of Parisians, but that's not what I found when I visited other cities in France. Particularly in the south.

You can't have everything, right? That's how I justify living in the city - the Parisians often frustrate me, what with their scowls, snobbery and attitudes, but I can't imagine any other life! I agree that they seem more "plugged in" and productive.

Nick Saban reportedly banned ESPN in his players' hotel rooms
Nick Saban wants his players focused for the national championship game and not getting lost in all the hype surrounding the team. In his quest to have his team achieve the proper mindset, Saban reportedly banned ESPN in his players' hotel rooms.
According to ESPN's Brett McMurphy, Tom Rinaldi said Saban had the team's hotel make ESPN unavailable in players' hotel rooms since Sunday.
Yahoo! Sports Dan Wetzel reported something similar.
That's a classic Saban move, if true. It's also smart.
The last thing Alabama needs entering Monday's BCS National Championship Game is to hear how great they are and how they're favored to beat Notre Dame by 10 points. Believing one's hype often leads to teams playing with less motivation for a game.
Remember how things were leading up to the 2006 Rose Bowl? ESPN spent weeks fawning over USC and trying to decide where they ranked among the best college football dynasties of all time as if they had already beaten Texas. Sure enough, the Trojans lost to the Longhorns. Saban is doing what he can to make sure Alabama avoids the same fate. He has Bama in contention to win its third national championship in four years, which would be pretty incredible.

Taking the Night Train in Europe: Budget vs LuxuryApril 2010
The compartment was dusty, smelly and tiny, I looked around and thought: "how the hell can you fit six people into these tiny berths?" I sat alone in the compartment waiting and dreading the night ahead.
I wound up in this predicament because I left booking my train reservations a little too late, and wasn't able to secure a private sleeper for the first of the two night trains I was taking during my solo travel through Europe. At the time of booking I thought to myself "aw, it's not going to be that bad, it'll be like a slumber party with five other chicks!" It didn't take me too long to discover some critical facts that I didn't know at the time of booking:
Two Important Things Women Need to Know About Sleeping on European Night Trains
1. How small and cramped train compartments are on European trains. Not a problem if you're on a day trip but imagine the jostling that would need to be done with six people getting ready for bed.
2. The compartments were NOT going to be segregated by sex. My visions of a fun PJ party had disappeared!
Did I survive my night of cheap travel? Was it as bad as I was expecting it to be?
Yes, of course I did survive and no, it really wasn't a horrible experience at all. I was traveling midweek, in the height of winter in Poland, so the night train from Krakow to Prague was empty and I ended up with the entire compartment to myself. The place was dusty and a bit worn around the edges but the white sheets provided for the couchettes were starched, crisp and clean.
The Polish conductor was absolutely awesome; he took me under his wing, scolding me when I didn't lock my compartment door in the early evening and then carefully showing me once, twice and three times how to lock my door. We wound up spending a good part of that evening talking about his travels in North America.
All in all I had a fun experience… would I try this budget trip again? Hmm, if I absolutely had to, I would, but I much preferred the very posh private sleeper I had booked for my travel from Munich to Copenhagen.
Traveling First Class on a European Sleeper Train – Oh So Very Lovely!
For the last train trip of my holiday I booked a first class ticket on the night train out of Munich, planning to end my travels in Europe with a visit to Copenhagen before heading back home. I arrived at Munich's Hauptbahnhof Central Train Station in the early evening. The night train had arrived for its 7pm departure, and upon boarding my designated train car, I looked at my ticket to find the compartment number, I found my sleeper, then I stopped and stared.
I checked my ticket again and then looked up the small spiral staircase leading into the upper loft-like room… it was huge. And it was oh, so lovely, all decked out with a small sitting table, upholstered chairs, a lovely little nook for the bed and yes, a private toilet and shower! Ok, this can't be for me, I decided, and went on the hunt for the conductor.
I showed him my ticket and asked if I was on the right car. Yes, I was in the correct car, he confirmed, then he took charge of my luggage and led me back to the very same sleeper I was at before! He hauled my rather heavy bag up the spiral staircase and proceeded to give me a little tour of the room. What a difference from my first night train experience. The room was at least twice the size of a regular train compartment, it was a perfect little home away from home.
Shortly after the train left the station, there was a knock at the door; my complimentary dinner and wine had arrived. I sat at my little table, sipping red wine watching the scenery go by and thought to myself, this is the way to travel.

I remember spending a night in a compartment going from Venice to Prague,,, We were 5 people in that compartment and it wasn't a sleeper… no beds.
But as luck would have it, even if we got a crappy night's sleep, we ended up spending the day in Prague with the three lovely Swedes we met 🙂
I'm glad you got the place to yourself though, or at least that you didn't get the worst case scenario 🙂
Thanks for sharing!

Canada is the second largest country by area in the world (after Russia) and the largest in North America. Its only land border is with the United States, and remains the longest land border in the world. The US border is situated at Canada's Southern edge. The border with the United States varies depending on the area you are visiting. The 49th parallel is the border from mainland British Columbia to Ontario, but drops as low as the 41st parallel in southern Ontario. Canada also has a long border with the US state of Alaska in the Northwest. Canada is a major tourist destination, and is one of the world's wealthiest countries. The country is renowned worldwide for its vast, untouched landscape and its unique culture.Canada is a land of vast distances and rich natural beauty. Economically and technologically, it resembles its neighbor to the South, the United States, and shares with it the longest undefended border in the world yet there are significant differences between the two countries. Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 by an act of the British parliament, and is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Though a medium sized country by its population, Canada has earned respect on the international stage for its strong diplomatic skills. Domestically, the country has displayed success in negotiating compromises amongst a culturally and linguistically varied population, a difficult task considering that language, culture, cuisine and even history vary significantly over the country. In contrast to the United States' image as a melting pot, Canada prefers to consider itself a mosaic of cultures and people. All Canadians are used to living and interacting with people of different ethnic backgrounds on a daily basis and will usually be quite friendly and understanding if approached in public. You will never look out of place or feel like an unusual sight while traveling Canada. The information below will get you started, but be sure to check the specifics for given regions and cities. It has universal health care, too.
The Canadian Sir Sandford Fleming first proposed time zones for the entire world in 1876, and Canada is covered coast to coast with multiple zones. * Yukon and most of British Columbia are within Pacific Time (UTC-7 during Daylight Saving Time, UTC-8 during Standard Time) * Northwest Territories, Alberta, parts of eastern British Columbia and part of western Nunavut are within Mountain Time (UTC-6 during Daylight Saving Time, UTC-7 during Standard Time) * Saskatchewan, unlike the rest of Canada, does not adjust its clocks for Daylight Savings Time and remains on Central Standard Time (or Mountain Daylight Time) year-round (UTC-6). Daylight Savings Time begins 2nd Sunday of March until 1st Sunday of November. * Manitoba and Ontario west of Thunder Bay, as well as central Nunavut are within Central Time (UTC-5 during Daylight Saving Time, UTC-6 during Standard Time) * Ontario from east of Thunder Bay to most of Quebec and eastern Nunavut are within Eastern Time (UTC-4 during Daylight Saving Time, UTC-5 during Standard Time) * Most of Labrador, north-eastern Quebec and all of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia are within Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-3 during Daylight Saving Time, UTC-4 during Standard Time) * The island of Newfoundland has its own time zone, Newfoundland Standard Time (UTC-3:30), which is a half hour ahead of Atlantic Standard Time. The south-eastern corner of Labrador is also within this time zone.

Sure, we know from His word that He is trustworthy. We can bank on that from the beginning, but as we know, life shakes us up at times. When we've taken time to spend experiencing His trustworthiness, that bond of trust solidifies. There is an anchor we can depend on not to let us drift in our problems without hope.
