For my daughter's first birthday, I threw her a tea party. For the invitation, I took sepia-toned pictures of her playing with a tea set. So naturally, we have been helping her collect tea sets- most of them are pink! Now for a tour of the tea cabinet!
This is a picture of Sheridan and I at her 1st birthday party.
This is a hand painted set with a picture of her first birthday with 4 generations of girls!
This is a view of the top of her tea cabinet. I believe the tea set is Franciscan.
The picture of the tea pot in the background is made from Sheridan's handprint.
The Old Country Roses set matches my own set!
I'm off to have a spot of tea! Go and visit all of the other pink lovelies at
How Sweet the Sound hosted by the lovely Beverly!
I appreciate each and every one of your comments!
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my blog. I really enjoy visiting all of yours out there in Blogland. I feel I have a whole new set of friends! :)

Everyone who travels to Thailand will want to have Chiang Mai on their list. It's an old city which reflects the lovely northern Thai culture and has a lot of significant history behind it. My wife and I spent our first anniversary there because it's very nice and peaceful. Chiang Mai is a place where Thais often go to recharge and take advantage of the slower pace of life. I have started recently travelling to Chiang Mai more often for work, but even that is also pleasurable.
Chiang Mai has grown so much, and so fast. We see more and more cars in the city center. The traffic jams are becoming problematic and the public transportation issue remains an unsolved problem. To help, the World Bank is supporting the Chiang Mai Municipality's vision of promoting "green mobility" with help from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). It is a small pilot project that supports non-motorized transport, such as walking and bicycling, by improving city center's walk path and bicycle lanes in the city center.
There were several rounds of consultations about the project that took place over a few months between the communities and the local government in Chiang Mai. I was an observer in most of these consultations and I was delighted to see positive outcomes after each meeting. Most communities who lived around the old city in Chiang Mai felt that the project was okay while the communities around the pilot project site had concerns about road closures and worsening traffic.
Everyone had different perspectives but they all wanted the best for Chiang Mai and their communities. Although they sometimes disagreed on certain points, both the community and local government listened to each other. Their patience and open-mindedness were key.
Now the project is moving forward. The design for the pedestrian/bicycle friendly recreation area is based on suggestions of the communities. We will have pedestrian/bicycle-friendly recreation areas right in the heart of Chiang Mai city by early 2014. What can your city do to become greener?
I have shared time between
I have shared time between homes in Australia and Chiang Mai for the past ten years. My impression is that the past two years have seen more development and re-development take place than in the preceding eight years. Further, I would say that traffic congestion has doubled during the same two year period. If the same rate of increase is sustained then Chiang Mai will quickly change from being a very pleasant and livable place to one that is much more like BKK.
To change this will require not just an extremely well thought-out plan but also close inter-agency co-ordination. It will demand that difficult and unpalatable decisions be made and pushed through to implementation. I wish I could be more optimistic but I struggle to see significant progress taking place when set against the dense and opaque backdrop of patronage, saving face, mai pen rai, and endemic corruption.
I visited Chiang Mai recently
I visited Chiang Mai recently (Aug 2017) and my suggestion to make the city one of the most appealing in Asia, if not the world would be to ban (or at least severely curtail) motorised traffic within the walls of the old city. This would entail the removal of much of the commercial activity that currently occurs within and would call for the removal of most of the buildings constructed within the last 100 years. Imagine a vast traffic free precinct devoted to tourism, religion, history, culture and the arts. So much traffic free space in Asia - You may say I am a dreamer.....
I share your concern, Bruce.
Enough time lost, now is time
Enough time lost, now is time to act...
Turn red taxi to gas engines, limit the numbers of private cars in traffic-jammed areas such as University for instance, severely limit burning, control emissions from factories...etc.
Well Khun Chanin , I was at
Well Khun Chanin , I was at perhaps the last of the several consultation sessions. Not invited by the local government, as were many who attended, but by friends at the last minute. The meeting was far from having "positive outcomes". People were furious that there had been a number of secret consultations, which came up with a plan to dig up recent paving at the 3 Kings square, lay some more, avoid planting shady trees and having no effect on the ability to walk or cycle safely in the city. This I might add is a city which has let bike lanes disappear with no maintenance for 6 years thanks to the current Mayor. The Mayor was too cowardly to attend, but his secretary and No 2 were there and very quiet until the end, when the deputy mayor did a little show, quite a showman really, saying no no no the plan would not go ahead. Now guess what - it is proceeding pretty much as planned and the bike lanes are still invisible. You know perfectly well that local government here is run by crooks who regularly violate the Thai Constitution, and yet you assist them and not the people. Shame on you.
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for posting my
Thank you for posting my comment as it appeared you were avoiding doing so. However your response appears to avoid the issues. 1: The project has nothing to do with improving cycling and walking and reducing pollution; 2: The so-called community consultation is a farce and the bank should either have made sure it was genuine or pulled the plug on it. James from City Life has asked you to contact him but informs me you have not. It is such a simple matter to put out a press release to all the local outlets at every stage of the process to inspire the community to be involved. This omission is reprehensible. We know what "Chiang Mai Municipality reached out to community leaders" means. It means talking to mates of the mayor and his clique. The national government did likewise with its 350 billion baht water management project, was forced by the court to engage in consultation and then again did its best to exclude possible objectors. Little wonder that some in their exasperation are turning to that demagogue Suthep.
Hello Ricky,
Chanin's blog entry is about his impressions of the many consultations and concerns over Chiang Mai's need for green transportation alternatives. We also welcome your opinion of the consultation you attended. Our bloggers reply to comments as soon as they can but are also limited by timezone constraints and main work duties. I have passed on to Chanin your email address (the one you used when you sent your comment, which we don't post publicly) so he can get in touch and see your future queries right away. If you would prefer that he contact you at another address, please reply to this message with the address of your preference --I will not publish it, but will pass it along to him as well.

Thanks Claudia for passing on
Thanks Claudia for passing on my email to Chanin. However I prefer he responds to queries using the transparent medium of the blog. This means all readers are informed for often I find others ask questions which are in my mind. One question I have which the community might be wondering about is the present ongoing replacement of the paving shown in the photo at the head of the blog with grey granite stone tiles. This is an exercise requiring the use of much energy i.e. generating CO2, which appears to involve a large use of funds which will do nothing to improve the amenity of the area let alone discourage motorized transport. Are the World Bank or GEF giving any financial support for this work?
Hi, Ricky. The project team
Dear Khun Chanin, Thanks for
Dear Khun Chanin, Thanks for your response. It appears that you may not have read last week's local report on your project so please see http://www.chiangmaicitynews.com/news.php?id=3127 and show your team. It appears that the WB is paying for the scheme which in the opinion of many I have spoken to will further undermine NMT in Chiang Mai. More in the way of explanation should be following.
Pollution in Chiang has
Pollution in Chiang has become a real problem many years ago and this city is now truly unhealthy 4 to 5 months a year. Still barely anything concrete has been undertaken by the local powers.
One suggestion to make WB budget worthwhile: turn red taxi (songtaew) into "green" taxis, by encouraging them to switch to gas engines. They are currently the biggest polluters in Chiang Mai with their old diesel engines...but they are also cheap and quite reliable. Such transition to gas engines (see Taxis in Bangkok for instance) would cost much less than developing new public transport systems. There are plenty of ways to do so: from direct public support for engine transition to fiscal and commercial incentives (tax cuts, monopoly on some destinations etc.)
There would also be a need to limit the number of private cars in some areas such as the University.
Hi Mr Chanin,
Hi Mr Chanin,
I have been told that none of this money was used and no such initiatives to make a 'green' Chiang Mai happened? Can you respond to that please? I'd like to know what happened as it is something I am writing about right now. Thanks.
Dear Khun Chanin,
Dear Khun Chanin,
Thank you very much for what you are doing towards a "green mobility" in Chiang Mai. I would also appreciate, however, if you could be more explicit about the actual Project definition, as your description at appraisal for this GEF grant (July 2011) is pretty vague. In particular: against which Projects components (eligible expenditures) are you planning to disburse the GEF grant? I say "planning" as the initial deadline for grant disbursement (July 2013) was postponed to Dec. 2013 and seems now moved to March 2014. Of course you know that with GEF, it is international public money that is made available to the WB and full accountability is therefore a must. I wonder also how you can improve the "share of personal trip by non-motorised transport ... to 10%, from a baseline of 4%" which is one of your measurable performance indicator for this Project. Some readers above have suggested feasible and quite straightforward actions, and we could also add the obvious pedestrian areas and cycling lanes, at least within the town's moat. However, a campaign for the improvement of the local environmental awareness seems to me also of paramount importance. In short, the case may not be totally hopeless (as some readers have suggested), since where there is a will, there is also a way. Chiang Mai still deserves a chance to become once again the "garden city" of Thailand.
Hello James,
Kindly contact our communications office at [email protected] for media inquiries. Many thanks.

In the wake of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., the Weinstein Co. has decided to cancel the Hollywood premiere of its movie "Django Unchained."
The studio was set to roll out the red carpet for the ultra-violent Quentin Tarantino flick at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences on Tuesday evening, followed by a glitzy after-party at SkyBar. Instead, the studio said it would hold a private screening for the crew and cast — including Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and Kerry Washington — and their friends.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the tragedy in Newtown, CT, and in this time of national mourning we have decided to forgo our scheduled event," a spokesperson for the Weinstein Co. said in a statement.
"Django Unchained" is the fourth Hollywood-related event to be postponed or canceled since Friday, when a gunman shot and killed 20 children and six adults at the school. Paramount Pictures pushed the Pittsburgh premiere for its Tom Cruise sniper flick "Jack Reacher" from Saturday to Wednesday, and a Monday evening Lincoln Center screening in New York that the actor was set to attend was canceled. Over the weekend, 20th Century Fox went ahead with screening its new Bette Midler-Billy Crystal family comedy "Parental Guidance" in L.A. but called off the press line beforehand and the party afterward.
All of the other big films set for release in the coming weeks, including "Les Miserables," "This is 40" and "The Guilt Trip," held their premieres last week. The next big studio release that will likely have a splashy debut is "Gangster Squad," the Warner Bros. mob drama co-starring Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling out Jan. 11. That film had its release date pushed after the July shooting during a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Colorado, because the studio needed time to excise a scene from the movie in which mobsters fire guns at people seated in a cinema.

From the day in 1974 that the first UPC barcode was scanned at a supermarket checkout line, the Auto-ID and retail industries have been partners in innovation. From that simple 1D symbology for point-of-sale data capture, the collaboration between the industries has grown tremendously — the latest barcode and RFID technologies run the entire retail value chain, providing new ways for the retail industry to do business.
Today's retail environment is more competitive than ever: According to Dun and Bradstreet, the retail sector accounts for 13.6% of annual business failures globally, and only 47% of new retail businesses are still in operation four years after start-up. The retail businesses that succeed depend on unprecedented levels of data accuracy and process agility. Their omnichannel strategies are built on the in-store and supply chain efficiencies that Auto-ID technology delivers.
A well-deployed labeling, barcoding or RFID solution gives retail businesses the tools they need to keep up with rapidly evolving standards, technologies and business-to-business interoperability requirements.
BarTender software is designed to meet the retail industry's increasing demands for a lean, efficient supply chain. BarTender's labeling, barcoding, RFID encoding and plastic card printing provides the foundation for accurate data management throughout the retail environment: e-commerce, brick-and-mortar, and omnichannel; POS, front-of-the-house and back-of-the-house. With its powerful design tools and unrivaled printer compatibility, BarTender supports the industry's diverse label and card printing needs, including:
The retail industry chooses BarTender for its reliability, scalability and built-in standards, all backed with a deep understanding of the industry's need for data accuracy, systems efficiency and process agility. BarTender's forms-based interface makes it easy for associates to learn and use, whether in the front of the house, back of the house or warehouse.
Seamless integration with ERP, SCM, PLM and WMS systems enables automation throughout the enterprise and single-source-of-truth data management, providing consistent and agile printing of inventory and pricing data.
BarTender allows you to easily and securely use accurate pricing and inventory information with printers throughout your system's network, whether desktop, mobile, card or RFID.
The centralized control in BarTender's Enterprise Automation Edition allows you to consolidate management of your system's labeling processes and workflows, deploying the business rules and process controls that enable inventory synchronization — tie the barcodes and RFID tags at the pallet, case or product level to a single data source, providing deep visibility into the supply chain and labeled price integrity.
The growth of omnichannel retailing has signaled a move away from forecast-based inventory fulfillment, and toward demand-based fulfillment. The ability to rapidly react to fluctuations in supply and demand dynamics and inventory turns can reduce costs. BarTender's Intelligent Templates™ offer the agility to perform and immediately deploy design, data and format changes throughout the enterprise.
BarTender includes preformatted, ready-to-use standards-based barcode components that enable global trade, including the BarTender GS1 Application Identifier Wizard for reliable and compliant GS1 coding.

The reason for the 'reality' of my suspicion was a leather-crystal necklase that i made and i gifted it to my sister. The search and agony for me to find the materials, then to make it and even sew it was enough to spur me on to see what more I can do with my imagination. My imagination needed a little push and help. This is why I followed painting classes, hand-crafted jewelry, applied arts and sewing lessons. Yet I still want to know more. I love to give my personal little touch to everything that surrounds me and enjoy sharing my ideas. Is there anything better? The yaer 2014 founds me in a new country: to England.

Fantastic Fest and Ain't It Cool News Present Jess Franco and Lina Romay Live In Person.
Join one of our favorite directors for a rare screening series and Lifetime Achievement Award presentation.
September 28-30, Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar Austin TX
For almost 50 years Spanish filmmaker Jess Franco has been making his own kind of cinematic poetry, steeped with themes of sex, violence, jazz, and subversive black humor. He has made around 200 feature films, though no one can say exactly how many. Once an obscure but busy man, he has become a well-known and respected figure over the past ten or so years as DVD audiences have joined earlier admirers like Fritz Lang and Orson Welles in acclaiming Franco's talent and vitality. Last year he was awarded Spain's highest film honor, the Goya Award and the Cinematheque Francaise devoted a season to his work.
Fantastic Fest is deeply honored to present its first Lifetime Achievement Award to Jess Franco. We will screen a selection of three of Franco's finest works. We will also be graced with the presence of his muse and inseparable collaborator Lina Romay. This will be Jess Franco's first ever North American film festival appearance.
This series is made possible by Ain't It Cool News.
Schedule of screenings
Monday, 9/28 7:15 pm VENUS IN FURS with Award Presentation
Dir. Jess Franco, 1969, 35MM, 86 min.
A young jazz musician finds the body of a beautiful woman he saw at a party the previous night washed up on the beach near Istanbul. He thinks back to the mysterious circumstances of the party and the strange people there. Later, in Rio he sees the woman again, and falls in love with her. A kaleidoscope of psychedelic and sexual imagery follows. Based on a plot idea by jazz great Chet Baker. Starring Maria Rohm, Klaus Kinski, James Darren, Barbara McNair, Dennis Price and Margaret Lee.
This screening is free for Fantastic Fest badgeholders. A limited number of tickets will be sold to the general public. Click here for tickets.
Tuesday, 9/29 7pm SUCCUBUS
Dir. Jess Franco, 1968, 35MM, 91 min.
SUCCUBUS is like the shiny side of the REPULSION coin, as we see into the half-dream/half-real life of a vivacious sexpot (Janine Reynaud) whose nightclub act depicts sexualized torture on stage. As we follow her through Lisbon and Berlin, through encounters with lesbians, sadists and little people, we begin to see signs that she is carrying her work home with her. Surreal, at times pretentious, but always compelling and new, even Fritz Lang liked this movie - he called it "a beautiful piece of cinema." We are indebted to another well-known admirer of this film for the loan of the print: Quentin Tarantino. Featuring Jack Taylor and Howard Vernon.
This screening is free for Fantastic Fest badgeholders. A limited number of tickets will be sold to the general public. Click here for tickets.
Wednesday, 9/30 6:45pm THE BARE BREASTED COUNTESS
Dir. Jess Franco, 1973, 35MM, 82 min.
Jess Franco directs his muse Lina Romay in this surreal story of a beautiful female vampire who consumes the sexual effluvia of her victims. This is one of the best Franco films of his most hyper-prolific period. Romay burns up the screen and Franco is at his most austere and poetic. Unforgettable music by frequent collaborator Daniel White helps to create a timeless atmosphere for the bloody, sexy pas de deux between Romay and her metaphysical paramour Jack Taylor. Also features Franco himself in a major role.
This screening is free for Fantastic Fest badgeholders. A limited number of tickets will be sold to the general public. Click here for tickets.
Additionally, there will be a special pre-festival screening of Franco's classic EUGENIE, THE STORY OF HER JOURNEY INTO PERVERSION on Wednesday September 23 at Midnight at the Ritz (320 E. 6th St.). This warm-up screening is part of the long-running Weird Wednesday series, Admission is free for Fantastic Fest badgeholders and $1 for the general public. Mr. Franco will not attend this screening. For full details about this screening click here.
All screenings except EUGENIE, which takes place at the Alamo Ritz, 320 E. 6th Street, will take place at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar, 1120 South Lamar Blvd. in Austin TX. Fantastic Fest badgeholders will receive first priority of admission. Any additional seats will be made available to the public.
Very special thanks to William Lustig and Greg Chick of Blue Underground; David Gregory of Severin DVD, Ant Timpson, Quentin Tarantino, Daniel Lesouer and the Cinematheque Francaise.

BULLDOG ATHLETIC CLUB: Welcome
For more info on 2015 Bulldog Baseball Tryouts please visit the Diamond Sports Training Center website at www.diamondsportstrainingcenter.com/teams.
Our club is very different from other clubs and training facilities in the Puget Sound area. We are a co-operative of teams that work together to ensure that our players have access to the best facilities and the best instruction.
While affiliation with the BULLDOGS has many benefits for our teams, the teams are independent and team managers have full control over their team operations and finances at all times.
This has resulted in tremendous success as BULLDOG teams have multiple State Championships in age groups from 12U through 18U.
The BULLDOGS winter training facility is the Diamond Sports Training Center located 3 miles south of the Auburn Supermall just off HWY 167. The Diamond Sports Training Center is also used by many other teams from the area.
The BULLDOGS are one of the oldest organizations in the area and we are proud of our program. Tracing our program back over 20 years, to Kent Youth Baseball and the Fairwood Bulldogs, we have a proven track record of putting the kids first.
If this is the kind of program you are interested in, give us a call or drop by the Diamond Sports Training Center for more informaiton.
In the event of severe weather, the training center may close. If the training center is closed, a notice will be posted in this location as soon as the deision is made.
Given the diverse home locations of our players and families, and the localized nature of weather patterns in the Puget Sound, we recognize that it is very possible for families in one area to have snow and ice while other areas may be experiencing only rain.
The BULLDOG club policy is that each player, parent or legal guardian, must make their own decision regarding their ability to SAFELY attend club practices and events. During times of severe weather or other events, which make it unsafe for a player to attend a practice or club event, that player is excused and there will be NO Penalty for missing a practice or club event under those circumstances.

Serodiscordant: It's not a word you hear every day. It's a relationship in which one partner is HIV positive and the other partner is negative. It's the reality for many couples out there, including Peter and Kathy McLoyd, who had been longtime friends and colleagues until 2004, when they began dating and got married -- all in the same year.
While many believe HIV is a challenge too big for a couple to overcome, nothing could be further from the truth for the McLoyds. Together, they told Kathy's family of Peter's HIV status; together, they make sure Peter adheres to his medication; and together, they are trying to raise awareness around other couples like themselves. There is no distance here; their love is a glue stronger than HIV, and it is crystal clear that they are each other's hero. Now, if Kathy could just get Peter to stop smoking.
Olivia Ford: Peter, could you start by telling us how you first found out you were HIV positive?
Peter McLoyd: In 1996, I had quite a few emergency room visits to the hospital. I was diagnosed with bronchitis once and a couple of times with thrush. At that time, I was an active substance abuser, an IV drug user with heroin being my drug of choice. On one of those visits, the emergency room physician told me that thrush was an indication that I might be HIV infected. But he didn't offer me HIV testing or tell me where I could go to get tested. Eventually, I went and was tested in February of 1997. I tested positive for HIV and was actually diagnosed with AIDS shortly after that and was in the hospital for a couple of weeks. That was here in Chicago.
Olivia Ford: When you first got your diagnosis, what were you thinking and how were you feeling? Did you know anything about HIV?
Peter McLoyd: I knew a little bit about HIV. I knew that sharing needles was a risk factor. I knew that, in the course of the many years, over 25 years of using drugs and shooting heroin, that I had, in fact, at times shared syringes. So I knew that much. So it wasn't a big surprise that maybe I was HIV positive. What was shocking was that it was an AIDS diagnosis as well. That was a bit of a shock.
Olivia Ford: Were you two together at that point?
Kathy McLoyd: No, not at that point.
Olivia Ford: We'll definitely come to where you enter the frame in a little bit, Kathy. But, Peter, how did you first come to terms with your diagnosis? Who did you first tell?
Peter McLoyd: I told my family. I'm pretty close to my family, even though I had given them fits over the years, because of my issues with drugs and things like that. But I felt comfortable sharing it with them -- my sisters and brothers, and eventually my two children. It was a wake-up call in terms of the drug abuse. When I entered HIV care and treatment at what was then Cook County Hospital, I was also offered an opportunity to get engaged into substance abuse treatment, and I was really motivated. I was motivated to stop using drugs and I was motivated to get whatever treatment was available for HIV. That led me into doing some volunteer work and becoming a peer educator. And eventually, finding a full-time job doing this work.
Olivia Ford: What was the span of time between 1996, when you were coming down with these illnesses, and your actual HIV diagnosis, and then getting into recovery and then starting to work in the community?
Peter McLoyd: It was fairly quickly. I think I entered into care in the early spring of 1997. That summer, I was really motivated by some of the other individuals who I met, who were living with HIV, who were doing volunteer work, and who were peer educators. I thought it was something that I would really like to do. I had to go on disability right away, because I was so sick and I had lost a significant amount of weight. Once I started on antiretroviral therapy, it was amazing; within a couple of weeks, I felt different and I wanted to really do something productive with my time. In the fall of the first year, I started doing some volunteer work. The organization where I was receiving care opened its doors in October of 1998: the Ruth M. Rothstein CORE Center. I became a volunteer and a peer educator there. Eventually, I was hired for a full-time position as an outreach worker. That was the catalyst for not just doing outreach work, but being an advocate and developing my skills as an advocate and it just kind of mushroomed from there.
Olivia Ford: All right. When did you two meet each other?
Kathy McLoyd: Well, I came on board [at the CORE Center] in 2000. I met Peter in 2000. He was the first person I saw at the registration desk, actually. I thought, hmm, he's very nice. Then we just became friends because we worked together and we were colleagues. In 2004, we got together as a couple. We got married quite fast in 2004. I think we were engaged in February, and were married in June of the same year. So yeah, it was pretty fast. I had known him for four years as a friend, so I could bypass all the other dating stuff that people have to go through. He was my friend first; I knew all about him. He seemed to be a very nice man, a very knowledgeable advocate in the field of HIV. I learned a lot from him. And so it was just a smooth transition. Very easy.
Peter McLoyd: One of the things that really attracted me about Kathy, other than her great beauty, was that she was very passionate about her nursing and about the clients and the patients. She was a pediatric nurse at that time and she was very involved in not only the care of the children that she was taking care of, but their families. And so, she would come to me and ask me questions about resources and things like that. I found that very attractive. Then we had an opportunity to actually do some volunteer work in Africa. So we spent a couple of weeks in Kenya. I just really fell in love with Kathy in Kenya -- really working side by side with her as she was; she did triage nursing in a very rural area of Kenya. I literally fell in love with her in Africa and I wrote her a letter from Africa and mailed it to her house back here in the U.S. A long letter, telling her that I didn't want her to be uncomfortable, but this is just how I felt. And she could either ignore the letter or we could talk about it later when we got back to the States. When we were back in the U.S., I kept saying, "Did you get a letter?" And she said, "I had so much mail when I got back, that I haven't even looked at the mail." She was like, "Why are you asking?" I was like, "Oh, just curious." Then one day she came to work and she had this really odd look on her face, and I knew she must have gotten the letter.
Kathy McLoyd: I got the letter. [Laughs] I got the letter. So it just made sense. We talked about it. Yeah, we did. Because there are a lot of questions. We were co-workers. It's hard enough working in the same place and being partners, but if it didn't work out, what would that mean? I knew he was positive, so what would that mean? I had a lot of questions, but the person that I went to for the answers was Peter. We had a long talk. I was a nurse in the field, so I knew what precautions to take and I knew that HIV doesn't define him. He was the person that I wanted to be with and HIV was just, it was just there. You know? It was just something that was just there. Once I learned about it, and was comfortable with it, it didn't bother me. Probably one of the most challenging things is being the caregiver. I thought I had to take care of him all the time, but I think it was one of his providers who said, "He can take care of himself; you can relax a little." I needed to hear that. Going into a relationship as the negative person, plus being a nurse -- I'm a nurturer by trade -- I just felt I had to be there for him and do everything. He probably felt really smothered at one time. But I thought I had to do it. As time went on, I relaxed a lot. I still do for him a lot, I think. I make sure he takes his meds and eats correctly and I'm really trying to get him to stop smoking.
Peter McLoyd: Oh god ...
Kathy McLoyd: Please do not edit that.
Olivia Ford: I will not.

Magical History Tour – more Barossa and Eden ValleyPosted by Martin Field on 21 October 2010 in Wine Travel
The drive to Seppeltsfield is memorable – avenues of numerous stately date palms and on a hill the brooding Seppelt family mausoleum. As you arrive you are confronted by a complex of aged stone buildings that seem to have "just growed" since the winery's beginnings in the mid-1800s.
In the old cellars the visitor is shown rows of casks still containing tawny port styles from 130 vintages. In the tasting room, ancient and modern fortifieds, brandies and table wines are there for an indulgent sip or two. Read the rest of this entry

Serves: Makes 16 mini-pocket pies or 5 double-crust individual pies
Ingredients:These savory morsels are great for an upscale cocktail party or outdoor gathering. For a gourmet touch, sprinkle these mini delights with a touch of truffle salt for a crunchy surprise and burst of flavor.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 3 ounces Gruyere cheese, finely grated
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg, for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
- Truffle salt, for garnish (optional)
- 1-¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, cold, cut into ½-inch cubes
- ½ to ⅓ cup ice water
Procedures:Preheat oven to 375 degrees and place a rack in the upper and lower thirds.
To make onion filling, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter and olive oil and heat until butter foams. When foaming subsides, add onions and toss to coat. Add thyme sprigs and reduce heat to low. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, about 25 to 35 minutes, adding balsamic vinegar about halfway through the cooking time. Remove the skillet from the heat and discard thyme sprigs. Stir in grated cheese and stir well to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Allow filling to cool completely.
To assemble pocket pies, remove pie dough from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before rolling. Generously flour a work surface and place chilled dough disk on the flour. Dust the top of the dough with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll chilled dough into a circle, turning and flipping the dough as needed with a bench scraper to prevent sticking, until the circle measures 16 inches wide and less than 1/8 inch thick. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut 16 circles of dough, rerolling once as needed. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and water for egg wash.
Place 2 teaspoons of onion filling in the center of each dough circle. Using a fingertip or small brush, coat the dough edge halfway around with egg wash. Fold uncoated dough edge over to create a half-circle shape and press to seal and remove any air bubbles. Place assembled pocket pies on a parchment paper-lined sheet tray. Continue with remaining dough circles and freeze assembled pies for 30 minutes before baking. Save remaining egg wash.
Remove pocket pies from freezer and cut a small "x" in the top of each with a sharp paring knife. Brush tops of pies with egg wash to coat and sprinkle with truffle salt, if using. Place pans in preheated oven and bake until pocket pies are golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove pans from oven and allow pies to cool for 5 minutes. Using a large spatula, transfer pies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve warm or room temperature.
Flaky Pie Dough
- Yield: 1, 9- to 10-inch crust
To make the dough, place the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingers, cut or rub the butter into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are the size of peas. Sprinkle ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, over the flour mixture. Stir and fluff the flour mixture with a fork until shaggy clumps form. Pick up the large clumps and squeeze to test for moisture. If clumps hold together, transfer them to a work surface and continue adding tablespoons of ice water and stirring.
Gather the clumps of dough together on a work surface. If the butter feels soft, cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before proceeding. If the butter still feels cold, knead the dough gently 4 or 5 times. If dough falls apart, return it to the mixing bowl and sprinkle teaspoons of ice water and mix with a fork until dough holds together when squeezed.
Flatten the dough into a disk about 6 inches wide, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes before rolling.

"Rule #1: Don't Lose Money…."
The best book I've ever read on Buffett is Alice Schroeder's Snowball. I remember picking up my copy about four years ago and literally not being able to put it down. I read it for hours at a time, all the while marking pages and circling things… and I often reference certain parts of the book when thinking about investments. The book goes much deeper into Buffett's thought process than most of the other Buffett books.
Schroeder went through pages of Buffett's scratch notes on many early investments, some of which were heretofore unknown to the public (one in particular is mentioned below). She does a great job at really capturing what Buffett was thinking behind many of his investments, which makes the book a true gem for reverse engineering Buffett's ideas.
Below is a video of Schroeder that I recently watched. The video below is a clip of her talk at the University of Virginia, which is a great lecture to listen to. But if you have 9 minutes, I strongly recommend watching the clip below.
The First Step in Buffett's Investment Process
One of the most fascinating things about Buffett is his ability to quickly and efficiently filter through many investment ideas. In the video, Schroeder discusses a key question that Buffett asks immdediately before doing any work on a prospective investment. The question is basically: What are the odds that this investment could fail because of catastrophe risk? In other words, what are the major things that could go wrong?
Schroeder goes on to explain that this question was the first step in Buffett's investment process. He was not interested in putting capital at risk if there was any chance of cat risk. He didn't care about the potential upside if he perceived there to be a major reason that the business could fail. This is much different than how most investors think. Some investors are willing to take positions in stocks that have significant risk, but even greater upside. Buffett was not. He simply wanted to invest in high probability and low risk situations. This simplified his process.
He missed out on many investments because he wasn't willing to take the risk. Some members of his family got rich investing in Control Data in the 1960's, even as Buffett urged them not to. He didn't care about missing opportunity in situations that had catastrophe risk. He wanted high returns, and significant upside–just not at the expense of major risk.
Mid-Continent Tab Card Company
This brings us to an example that Schroeder discusses in this video clip. The Mid-Continent Tab Card Company is a fascinating case study on Buffett's investment process.
I'll let Schroeder share the specifics of the investment, but the summary is that Buffett passed on an early stage start-up business that his friends were working on because he thought the business could (not necessarily would) fail due to stiff competition from IBM. So he passed on the idea. However, his friends got the business off the ground, and a year later were hugely profitable, and successfully competing with IBM. They approached Buffett again needing to raise more money. This time he said he would consider it. The cat risk was off the table, and he began doing research on the business.
The case study is also interesting because Schroeder discusses Buffett's process for evaluating the business, which is also significantly different from how most investors research ideas. He didn't use DCF's, he didn't do detailed projections… he used basic analysis with simple common sense logic. And he only did his analysis after first identifying that cat risk was off the table.
The result of the investment is less important than studying his process, but nevertheless, it was fantastic. Buffett ended up making millions from an initial $60,000 investment, compounding his capital in this investment at 33% per year for almost 2 decades.
Think of Stocks as Businesses
By the way–one more interesting point from the video. Buffett was only 29 when his friends brought him this deal. He had yet to prove himself as a successful investor. His friends knew he was a businessman, and a good investor, but had no idea of how good he really was. I thought this illustrated an interesting point that Buffett was a business owner first and foremost. He truly thought of stocks as businesses, and that's likely one of the most significant factors in his phenomenal successes as a capital allocator.
Here are some other useful pieces on the Mid-Continent Tab Card Company and Buffett's filtering process:

I recently polished off a bottle of maraschino that I had had for a little over two years. I initially bought it so I could try an Aviation cocktail, which grew to be one of my favorites. At the time I bought that bottle, the only brand I could find was Stock. I couldn't find Luxardo, initially, and to this day, I still can't recall seeing Maraska.
So…Stock it was. And I started mixing Aviations. The first batch I mixed, Jen hated. It's not like she hates gin or lemon juice; she just didn't like the maraschino.
My bible, at the time I found the Stock, was Gary Regan's The Joy of Mixology. And his recipe for the Aviation was two ounces of gin and half an ounce each of maraschino and lemon juice. That was way too sweet for Jen, and at some point, I apparently decided that was too sweet for me as well; I have a note penciled in the book: "use 3/4 oz lemon w/Stock mara!"
Even that change, though, couldn't make a believer out of Jen. It wasn't until she found the David Embury book, The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, at an amazingly low price that I was able to mix an Aviation to her satisfaction. (She found a copy that cost less than a bottle of Old Potrero whiskey. I love Mrs. Bitters.) I followed the famous Embury ratio of 8:2:1 and finally made an Aviation that wasn't too sweet for her.
But having siphoned off the last of the Stock maraschino, it was finally time to procure a bottle of Luxardo. I always wanted one anyway, at least as a fetish. Who doesn't love that straw-wrapped bottle? I mean, c'mon. Part of being a drinks nerd is having cool bottles on your shelves. It's not the whole of it, but y'all gotta admit it's part. Additionally, though, I've heard many a cocktail nerd discussing the finer points of Maraska and Luxardo–especially compared to Stock, which seems widely disparaged.
As I write this now, I have to the right of me two snifters. One has the dregs of the Stock bottle; the other, some Luxardo. To my left, a gin and tonic. To–ahem–cleanse my palate. (We laugh, you and I, but it works surprisingly well at that task.)
Now, I'm not good at tasting notes, but what I can say is this:
- The Stock is flat and sugary, with a bare hint of almond
- The Luxardo is bright and vibrant, with a hint of almond, sure, but also with a deep and rich spice profile.
I almost wish I'd have kept enough Stock on hand to taste-test two versions of the Aviation.
Almost. After sipping the two side by side, I'm happy to put my back to the Stock maraschino. The only taste-test that matters to me now is Luxardo versus Maraska.

Ghostface Killah wins copyright infringement case
- 2003-10-28 06:14:39
© The Wu-Tang Corp.
- 2003-10-28
A New York federal court has upheld the "fair use" doctrine by throwing out a lawsuit against Sony Music Entertainment and rappers Ghostface Killah, Raekwon and the Alchemist for copyright infringement.
The plaintiff, Abilene Music, accused the rappers and Sony, which released the album, of infringing its copyright in the song "What a Wonderful World."
The infraction allegedly occurred when the trio made slang references to marijuana in a rap that began with a variation on the first three lines of the song popularized by Louis Armstrong.
The defendants successfully argued that while the song's lyrics were adapted from "What a Wonderful World," they were protected as fair use under the Copyright Act.
In granting a summary judgment for Sony and the rappers, Judge Gerard Lynch said the rap was clearly a parody, intended to criticize and ridicule the cheerful perspective of the original song.
The judge also noted that the rap made key changes to the lyrics and to the overall effect of the lines, and it was not a rote imitation of the original.
Lynch wrote: "Where the original first three lines of 'Wonderful World' describe the beauty of nature, its 'trees' and 'roses' in 'bloom,' reads more like an invitation to get high with the singer." The lyrics read as:
"I see buds that are green, red roses too.
"I see the blunts, for me and you.
"And I say to myself: What a wonderful world."
The slang reference to marijuana and the dark nature of the rap tune was in stark contrast to the mood of beauty in the original song, the court pointed out.

Cut a piece of card stock 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Fold in half.
Lay your strips on a piece of fusible web that is 5 1/4″ x 6 1/2″. Over lap the one edge onto the next piece a scant quarter of an inch. Press to the fusible web. Cut with a ruler and rotary cuter, one of the 6 1/2″ edge.
Peel the fusible web from the back.
Place the cut edge along the fold line of the card. Iron the fusible web to the card stock. Press hard. I let mine cool, then press again. Trim from the inside of card all the way around the edges to fit the card.
Stitch along the edges of strips 1/4″ from the edge as show.
You can leave your cute note card plain, or add embellishments like a sparkle press-on embellishments from your scrapbook store. It will mail better if you don't use a 3D embellishment.
Use a layer cake piece, or 5″ x 10″ scrap. Cut the fabric 1/2″ bigger all the way around the card stock pattern. Iron the cut fabric to fusible web. Peel off back and fuse the fabric to card stock pattern on the opposite side where you marked the scoring.
Trim all the way around the piece, and then zig-zag around the entire piece.
Turn piece over and with a ruler, score the 4 score lines.
Tear in half a regular pad of sticky notes, to about 48-50 papers.
Add a small dab of glue just to the bottom page on the sticky part along the top.
Press the sticky pad onto the piece between the score lines.
It should close like this along the score lines.
And look like this when open.
These are the what the photo anchors look like. They come in one package and have two parts.
Notice where the photo anchor is. The pad should just close naturally along the score lines, so position the anchor so the top flap will just fit under the anchor…then make a small dot with a pencil as in the next photo.

- November 22 down the years
The greatest moment in English rugby?The sporting events of November 22 down the years
If you're Australian, the drop goal from hell. If you're English, the grand finale to the biggest win ever. Jonny Wilkinson won the rugby union World Cup.
England shouldn't have needed his late winner. Their nine-point half-time lead should have been fourteen or more, Ben Kay having dropped the ball in front of an open line. Then in the second half they were refereed out of it by South Africa's André Watson, who penalised them for dominating Australia's notoriously crumbly front row. But if England had won by the margin they deserved, we wouldn't have had that incredible climax from the player of the tournament. With his wrong foot, too. Thanks to his various injuries, this was Wilko's last international match until 2005. It was captain Martin Johnson's last, full stop: he retired from Test rugby at the top. Meanwhile revenge had been a long time coming for Jason Leonard, who was on the losing side against Australia in the 1991 final.
Yup, Mike Tyson was as scary as we thought. Even his lack of socks was oddly intimidating. Here he was, only 20 years old, in his first world title fight, flattening WBC champion Trevor Berbick twice in the second round. The sight of the experienced Berbick rolling around on the ring with his senses intact but his legs refusing to comply was positively unnerving. Tyson was the youngest world heavyweight champion and looked set for a very long reign. Then, in his 10th defence, on February 11, 1990...his world fell apart.
Boris Becker was born. One of the most intimidating fast-court players of all time, he exploded onto the scene by winning Wimbledon in 1985 when he was only 17. He was the only unseeded player to win a Wimbledon singles title, which he won twice more before he was 22, after which the muscular frame began to hinder rather than help. He was US Open champion in 1989 and Australian Open champion twice, and helped Germany win the Davis Cup for the first time. Although he never won a singles title on clay, he was an Olympic champion on that surface, winning the doubles with Michael Stich in 1992.
Australia must be getting used to losing rugby World Cup finals at home. New Zealand shocked them 34-20 in Brisbane to win the rugby league version for the first time, prising their neighbours' fingers off the trophy they'd held since 1975.
Ricky Hatton's last win, an 11th-round stoppage of Paul Malignaggi in defence of his IBO light-welterweight title, before the roof fell in on May 2, 2009.
Billie Jean King was born. One of the greatest and most influential sportspeople of all time. Forget her win over a 55-year-old Bobby Riggs (September 20, 1973), which was a fairground attraction not a blow for gender equality; it was her constant lobbying that won the girls a fairer share of the prize money, and her ability on the court that raised the profile of the women's game. She won her first Wimbledon title in 1961 when she was 17 and her 20th in 1979, a total equalled only by Martina Navrátilová (born October 18, 1956). Half of her twelve Grand Slam singles titles were won at Wimbledon, where she was also the last player to achieve the triple crown of singles, doubles, and mixed, back in 1973.
James Craig won his first cap for Scotland at rugby union - 30 years to the day after his father Jim won his only cap for Scotland at football.
George Foreman's last fight. At the age of 49, he lost a decision to Shannon Briggs (age of 27), 28 years after his pro debut in 1969.
Kyran Bracken was born. But for injuries, it might have been him and not Matt Dawson in the 2003 World Cup final - and England wouldn't have suffered. He lacked Daws' knack of making a telling break, but his passing was superior. But injuries it was, including one on his debut, when All Black flanker Jamie Joseph stamped on his ankle. Others kept him out of the 1995 and 1999 World Cups. He won his 51st and last cap in the 2003 semi-final. Ireland would happily have had him: he was born in Dublin.
Pakistan squash legend Jansher Khan beat Australia's Rodney Eyles 15-3 in the fourth game to win the World Open for the eighth and last time, a record that still stands. He was favourite to win it again in Malaysia the following year, but didn't turn up because there was a court order there, to do with maintenance payments for his son after his separation from his Malaysian wife.
Katrin Krabbe was born. Winning the sprint double at the 1990 European Championships and 1991 Worlds made her track and field's new golden girl. A tall attractive blonde, it seemed she only needed to stay upright for endorsements to keep rolling in and Olympic gold medals to give her neckache. Then it all fell apart. A failed drugs test kept her out of the 1992 Olympics, she became pregnant while she was suspended, and her sprinting career was effectively over at 22, one of the last to be manufactured in an East German lab.
An invention that revolutionised a sport. Arthur Knight patented steel shafts for golf clubs.
The lowest scoring game in NBA basketball history. The Fort Wayne Pistons beat the Minneapolis Lakers 19-18. What were they playing at?
The North-West Counties came from 14-9 down with the wind in their faces to beat New Zealand 16-14 at Workington, the first win by an English club side against the All Blacks. Centre Chris Wardlow dropped a goal and made a try, and his tackling had to be felt to be believed.
Ernie Terrell should have known better. He must have seen what Muhammad Ali did to Floyd Patterson for calling him Cassius Clay after he'd changed his name. But he still did the same in 1967 - and suffered even more than Floyd. Here in 1965, Ali was taller, faster, and a stone heavier than Patterson. He could have finished him early; instead he dragged the fight into the 12th round, taunting his challenger as he battered him, a cruelty we could have done without seeing. World champion himself back in 1956 (November 30), Floyd was never a contender again. The last fight of his career also ended in defeat by Ali, this time mercifully shorter: a 7th-round stoppage in 1972.
In their first rugby union match at Old Trafford, England lost 25-8 to the All Blacks, conceding three tries to one.
Ludmila Belousova was born. With her husband Oleg Protopopov, she formed an iconic ice skating pair, Olympic champions in 1964 and 1968.
Stu Unger died of a heart condition brought on by years of drug use. Unbeatable gin rummy player turned three-time world champion poker player.
Playing for Milan against Pontypridd, Massimo Giovanelli became the first player to be sent off in a Heineken Cup rugby match.
Irina Privalova was born. Top sprinter turned Olympic gold medallist at 400 metre hurdles. She was European champion at 100 and 200 in 1994, at 200 again four years later, and won relay gold at the 1993 World Championships before that Olympic title in 2000. Married at 18, baby at 19, divorced at 20.
Mushtaq Mohammed was born. A batting all-rounder talented enough to play his first Test at 15 and his last 20 years later, he scored ten Test centuries, with a highest score of 201 against New Zealand at Dunedin in February 1973, when he also took 5-49 with his leg-breaks to win the match by an innings. Stocky to the point of tubbiness, he had all the strokes and was especially good on difficult pitches. Pakistan had a strong batting line-up in the 1970s, but it was strong because it had Mushy in it. Three of his brothers also played Test cricket for Pakistan, including the great Hanif (see January 23, 1958).
Two legends of West Indies cricket made their Test debuts. Against India in Bangalore, Gordon Greenidge came naggingly close to a hundred in his debut innings, run out for 93, while Viv Richards came perilously close to a duck first time out, dismissed for four after hitting a boundary. Greenidge reached that century in the second innings to help West Indies win by 267 runs. Viv made only three, but took the first two of his 122 Test catches.
Alfred James Bowerman was born. His 59 in the second innings was the top score in the only cricket match ever held at the Olympics. The Devon & Somerset Wanderers won the title by dismissing a USFSA (French) XI for 78 and 26 in Paris in 1900.
Marvan Atappatu was born. Vulnerable at the start of an innings, a limpet once he was set, he made only one run in his first six Test innings but turned six of his 16 Test hundreds into doubles. Three of those twin tons came against feeble Zimbabwe, but he made Test centuries against every other country, including the unbeaten 201 at Colombo that helped Sri Lanka beat England by an innings in 2001.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Monday, September 10, 2007
I'm crazy for artichokes. I grew up in California and in May, artichoke season, my mother would often just cook a platter of artichokes for dinner and we would just eat artichokes until we were full! We dipped the "meaty" part of the leaves and hearts (after scraping the "fuzz" away with the side of a spoon) in melted butter if they were hot, or mayonnaise if they were cold-- nothing fancy. By the time we were all satisfied, each of us would have a heaping bowl of artichoke leaves, scraped clean by our teeth, beside our plate. Heaven!
Yesterday I was admiring my jar of Kirkland Artichoke Hearts (PS: they have water-packed ones, too):
I had purchased two 65 oz. jars last time I made one of my very infrequent trips to Costco. They are so good--the marinade is delicious(not overly-acidic), and there are halves and quarters, nice and plump. I was trying to figure out a dinner to use up some things, a fennel bulb among them. So I came up with the following, in which I could make use of some of those nice marinated artichoke hearts that I was craving. We loved sopping up the tart juices with crusty bread!
Printable Recipe
1 Tbs olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
32 marinated artichoke heart quarters in oil (or 16 halves), rinsed and drained
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and diced
1/2 lb small red, white or yellow potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
1 Tbs flour
1 spring fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
2 cups vegetarian "chicken-style" broth (or use my homemade broth powder)
1/2 lemon, sliced (with peel)
salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste
Heat the olive oil in a small stew pot. Add the onions and garlic and stir-fry until the onions wilt. Add the artichoke hearts, fennel and potatoes, and stir-fry briefly. Sprinkle with the flour and stir. Add the herbs, and then stir in the broth. Add the lemon slices.
Bring to a boil, then turn down to a gentle simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lemon slices and cook 30 minutes more, or until the potatoes are tender. Taste for salt and pepper.
Serve with crusty bread.

I too LOVE artichokes--growing up they were always my request for my birthday dinner! I cannot get enough of them. Thanks for the recipe!
- Wed Sep 12, 02:11:00 PM PDT
This is a WONDERFUL recipe, Bryanna!! I was concerned it would be too tart for my tastes ... I don't really like tart/tangy dishes, but this is GREAT!! Once again, your combination of ingredients melded perfectly into a wonderful stew!!
Found some sourdough whole wheat crusty bread at our local bakery. Perfect combo!
- Thu Sep 13, 01:25:00 PM PDT
That stew must be incredibly good. I'm due for a trip to Costco soon so I'll try the artichokes. Thanks !
I tried your "Chicken" Cutlets from Everyday Dish. O - MY - GOSH !
I was asked by my mom to make another batch for her. And she wants the dvd too LOL
I was wondering how you solved that Star brand mushroom cubes though because I really want to try the roast. Have you tried any of the other brands you recommended back in March?
And another question: I have finally bought a soymilk machine. Do you add B12 and other vitamins to your homemade soymilk ??
- Thu Sep 13, 03:44:00 PM PDT
the word "dilemma" is missing from my comment above... oh well...
- Thu Sep 13, 03:46:00 PM PDT
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Brenda!
Gaia, I don't add nutrients to my soymilk, but in the instructions on my website I tell you how to add calcium if you wish. I just take B12 every day (50 mcg) and some calsium, too.
About the mushroom broth, there is a blog entry about this here:
and the same info is in the Ap May Jun 07 Vegan Feast on pps. 20-21.
- Thu Sep 13, 03:56:00 PM PDT
Thanks Bryanna.
Yes, I saw your blog about it (your March 1st post) but was wondering what you personally ended up using. The Knorr brand?
They are renovating their website right now though so I'll have to wait.
P.S. I'll renew my Newsletter subscription soon !

I bought the 65oz jar of Costco artichoke hearts and would love to try these dishes but I'm am unable to open the jar. Any suggestions?
- Sat Oct 23, 03:02:00 PM PDT
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
I take the tip of a table knife and prise it under the lid just enough to hear a little release of air, and then it open easily! I also use a small gravy ladle to remove as much of the oil as possible (it will rise to the top if you leave it alone for a while).

Blessed are the goat herders?
One of the three girlie goats had a girl kid, the children named her Bebe. She was born at 1:50am June 1st. She is coming along nicely. Wagging her little tail and getting bowled over by her mumma when she annoys her for a feed a bit too often. Today was a cold Winter's day and she sat out in the Sun with her Mother.
Meanwhile, my kids are going very well too. Sarah, Mia and Nick all got certificates in front of assembly at school for their Maths achievements. Mia got praised, and a hand shake too, by the Principle of the school, as well as her teacher from last year, for her reading achievements. It seems everyone is finding out how exceedingly well Mia is going at school, and at last the penny has dropped. The speech therapists are wonderful.
Tomas began at the Army Cadet Unit last Monday and he loved it. I was so proud of him too. He cannot wait to return tomorrow night. There are good times ahead for him for sure. If he makes as many life long friends as I have from my Air Cadet days then that will be a blessing.
I hope everyone is well and taking good care of themselves xoxo

You must be so proud of your children. I can see where the expression "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" applies to you and your husband. You are doing a great job as parents.
Now...about the goats??????

I took a behind-the-scenes tour Friday of the new Transformers ride opening in a few weeks at Universal Studios Hollywood.
PHOTOS: Behind-the-scenes tour of Transformers ride
For those of you who have never experienced Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey or the rebooted Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Florida's Universal Orlando (or traveled to Universal Studios Singapore where Transformers opened in December), you're in for a real treat when the new motion-simulator dark ride with high-definition 3-D images officially debuts on May 25.
For the better part of a decade, the Spider-Man ride was widely considered the best theme park attraction in the world, until the Wizarding World of Harry Potter came along and the Forbidden Journey reset the bar for attraction supremacy. Expect Transformers to reopen the best-in-the-world discussion when theme park fans finally get their chance to climb aboard.
Scene-by-scene preview: Transformers ride at Universal Studios
Our preview tour was lead by Universal Creative's Chick Russell, show producer for the new Transformers ride. We were joined by Theme Park Insider's Robert Niles, MiceChat's Norm Gidney and IGN's Eric Goldman.
Out front, a towering portrait of Optimus Prime and Megatron in mid-battle hung over the attraction's main entrance on the movie theme park's lower lot.
Inside, the long and winding queue line filled us in on the attraction's back story, with rooms dedicated to the Autobots, Decepticons, the recent attack on the NEST headquarters and our mission: protect the AllSpark, source of life for all Transformers. My favorite part of the queue was all the buttons and switches that riders are encouraged to push and flip. Whirling red siren lights and wailing red alert horns added to the atmosphere.
PHOTOS: Transformers ride at Universal Studios
With Russell guiding the way, we made our first pass through the two-level dark ride building with the lights on to familiarize ourselves with the back story and view the practical set dressings, careful to step over the center rails that guide and power the ride vehicles.
In one scene, the cab of a military transport vehicle missing its virtual back end poked out of a blank screen. Toward the end of the ride, a defeated Megatron hovered overhead amid the rubble of a collapsed roadway overpass.
Throughout our tour, the hulking 12-seat ride vehicles sat motionless at various positions along the track, seemingly ready to transform into anthropomorphic robots at any moment. While the attraction is in operation, the vehicles will be evenly spaced so riders never see another vehicle.
Russell said ride designers employed the vehicles the same way a director uses a camera to control the audience's perspective, turning the car in different directions to make cuts or jump to new scenes.
On our second pass through the ride building we brought along 3-D glasses so we could watch the action on the dozen or so front, rear and curved projection screens. Even without riding in the vehicle and with the sound off it felt like Megatron was reaching out from the screen and grabbing me with his metallic arm.
In one scene, the footage on the 60-foot-tall screen created the illusion of moving forward and backward, a sensation that was equal parts exhilarating and disorienting.
Russell said ride designers thought of the Transformers attraction more like a video game than a movie, building a 3-D wire frame city that was then wrapped with digital photos of Chicago. The result is a visceral visual journey through a sim-city left in virtual rubble that will only be enhanced when the special effects explosions are turned on.
I have high expectations for the Transformers ride at Universal Studios Hollywood and can't wait to climb aboard. I'm sure it won't disappoint.

USSOCOM is the combatant command responsible for providing fully functional Special Operations Forces to defend the U.S. and its interests, and planning and synchronizing operations against terrorist networks.
IBM will implement a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), turnkey enterprise-wide resource data management application for USSOCOM's headquarters and component commands and integrate the command's legacy resource management systems with the new SORBIS system. This effort is being supported by IBM's subcontractors, CACI International, Inc. and National Interest Security Company, LLC (NISC), both specialists in IT solutions and services for defense, intelligence and homeland security.
"IBM is very pleased to support this important initiative," said Charles L. Prow, Managing Partner, IBM Global Business Services, Public Sector. "Through the SORBIS system, we believe USSOCOM will be able to leverage advanced analytics to gain better insights into data resources and improve decision making."
The use of analytics and optimization technologies is accelerating in the government market, as agencies and departments seek to deploy 'smarter' systems that can analyze data and enable faster, more accurate decision making. IBM has established a Business Analytics and Optimization Services practice for government and other public sector clients that includes experts with deep knowledge in such areas as defense, logistics, cyber-security, transportation, public safety, and customs and border management. These professionals also collaborate with IBM researchers and tap into mathematics and information management capabilities across IBM.

Over the years I've come to realize that I'm definitely a cynic. I don't really see it as a personality flaw, after all there is plenty in this world to be cynical about. Politicians lie to us as a matter of course, lawyers are suing like crazy over more and more idiotic stuff, and the whole of America seems to be heading the way of ancient Rome. It's become a hulking mass of failures propped up by other failures.
Joseph Schumpeter talked about the winds of creative destruction; a theory that basically says when something important (say, a major "too big to fail" bank) is destroyed, it opens space for others to step in and provide what that failed entity provided previously. Many of these new entities will be better run with stronger, more creative ideas than the entity they replace. It is a natural course of industry that some companies will fail and be replaced by others. Too big to fail does not exist, because if something is too big to fail then when it fails others will step in immediately to take up the slack and (this is important) the money that people were happily giving to the failing entity.
Where there is a demand, there will be a supply.
I say all of this to explain what feels at first blush, even in my own mind, like an internal contradiction. I expect the worst from man. We are a brutish, hateful, destructive species. We kill our fellow animals (human and otherwise) nigh indiscriminately. We visit evils worse than death on some, torturing members of the animal kingdom in the name of science or (even more disturbingly) in the name of "looking pretty" or "feeling good."
It's getting a bit off topic, but Adam Reed is one of my favorite TV writers (even though he totally stole my "acid in the face" bit that I've written into every long work … I don't care if he came up with it first, I'd been writing it into things for years and have only been aware of him for about eight months, but I digress) and he had a great exchange in Sealab 2021 about animal testing:
"You can't test drugs on humans! There are rules! Procedures! It has to be tested on animals first!"
"Why? Why does all the crap we consume have to be tested on animals first?"
"Because that's–"
"–A rat doesn't wear lipstick, okay? A rabbit doesn't use hairspray! A monkey doesn't need pills to get ramped up for hot monkey sex! It's people, man! We're miserable! So why SHOULDN'T we try it all first?"
"…Well, you've got a point there, actually."
Getting back on topic, despite all that I can't help but hope for the best even though I anticipate the worst. Despite our massive capacity for evil, there is real good in mankind too. I hope for the best, expect the worst, and sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised and get something in between.
(I had gone on a bit, but ye ole blog site ate the rest of the post and I don't feel up to recreating it. Mostly it was reiteration of the above. Also: I got a new job today!)

After the ordeals of this weekend's move, the unexpected sadness... I thought I was supposed to feel good about being by myself, after all it's all I wished for these last months. But no. Thankfully I'm not the kind to gravel, so I built furniture and started (and got quite far in) making this MY home. Most of the things my ex took with him when he moved out were in the living room, guest room and "office". I focused on getting the living room and the office in order. One great thing is that the new office/work room has a very long desk where I can fit in both computer and sewing machine. Hello creativity! And speaking of creativity, the living room corner below is my inspiration corner. It makes me happy just looking at the picture.
Fashion magazine stacking NYC style, my easel, a camel saddle that my grandfather got on one of his business trips decades ago, and my dads old banjo (in it's case). (And Totoro!) I love this corner. The only change I'll make here is put a very colorful painting where the ships are now. Something Chagall-style. I just need to find me a very very big canvas.
Finally two bookshelves! I do need to get the art up on the walls though.
The sewing corner of the office. Pattern collection sorted by decade, and loads of pattern magazines.
My office/sewing room. This used to be the darkest room of the apartment, so you can imagine how happy I am about this solution!
So, just a small update, but I'm so happy with the results so far, I really wanted to share :)
Have a great week everyone!
