One thing is for certain, I want to be in love. In a loving, non-perfect, relationship with a man who loves me beyond measure. But the question is, am I mentally and emotionally prepared for it?
I've never been one to have a hard time gathering prospects for the title of "Bae". Reality is, was Bae willing and able to commit. NOPE! Because he wasn't THE ONE? The one that God uniquely created just for me to spend the rest of my life with. Not likely. Until very recently, they have just been another Fuck Boy to spew out lies and broken promises just to get what they wanted……sex. Whew, that sounded bitter huh? LOL! I digress.
My question to you is, what do I do when I no longer become bamboozled by fuck boys? What do I do when the man of my dreams comes along? And what if I'm not ready for him. Will he wait for me? I sure hope he has the patience of 10 men. LOL!
I've spent many dreams observing the tall, dark, clean-cut, handsome man that is mine and I wonder, will I fuck it all up when he reveals who he is in person. Will I sabotage our love out of fear of being hurt? I sure hope not. What I do hope is that I am mentally and emotionally healed from all the past hurt. So he is welcomed with open arms.
Furthermore, when thinking about my future husband, I get this sense of urgency in my heart. Like I want us to meet NOW. BUT truth is…I don't think I'm ready for him. Don't get me wrong, I am working diligently to make sure my mind, heart, and soul is constantly being fueled so I can evolve into the woman I am meant to be for him. However, I can't say I'm fully prepared at this point. I still have so much to work on, so much to finish getting over so that my heart can be ready to receive who God made for me.
Am I afraid? Hell yea I am. But that is why it is so important for us to make sure the person we are dating is from God and not loneliness. We get so impatient with love and take matters into our own hands. And to be blunt, we go fucking things up allowing emotion to pick who we feel is "good enough" for us. Most of the time discounting our love as if it's last seasons fashion trend.
Nah, not me. Not only do I want what's mine, I want it ordained by God. Not me or man. So with that said, I will continue to work toward being the best woman I can be, while my future husband awaits seeing me and falling deeply in love, at first sight.

New Necessaires and Notions for 2019!
A new year....a fresh start.....lots of goodies to make! I thought I would make some necessaires again this year since they were so popular in previous years. A hand made little bundle of stitching goodies. Trims, sewing charms, hand dyed buttons, etc. Maybe I will add a small cross stitch pattern with each one. I will start working on these after all the club shipments go out and show you one around the 15th...or sooner.....and of course I will give one away. I was thinking of doing a different fabric each month and giving one away each month for a while. If all goes well I might do this all of 2019. We will see. I also have a lot of gorgeous cluny lace I want to start dyeing for these projects. Top quality lace I bought from a business that used them in his designs and wanted to sell off his inventory. I bought almost 100 rolls of this lace and I really want to start using it in some kits
These are all hand made by me. I don't know if I will do kits for these....just the hand made ones for now. They make great gifts.
Then I might do other hand made items and kits for you to make at a later date. So much to do in 2019!
I bought a dozen bolts of some beautiful fabrics to start making these little treasures. I will show each necessaire as they are finished. I have a lot of new followers that have not seen them and you are in for a real treat.
I keep saying I am going to take a few days off to do work on my own projects.....but then I start thinking of goodies I want to do for give-aways and then the projects get put on a back burner. I love to do silk ribbon embroidery flowers....petite flowers.....not huge designs. I have boxes of silk ribbons I bought last year and one of these days I will take time for a "play day"! I have wanted to use some of these for a thimble case and I could easily finish that in a day.
So here's to a great start of a new year.....wishing all of you the best for 2019. May you find your heart's desire!

Easter Sunday Best
The First Family attended Easter service at St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. this morning. On the fashion front, Mrs. O re-wore a dress that might look familiar to some. The Thakoon pixelated floral jacquard dress was paired with a coordinating coat for the famous "fashion face-off" with Carla Bruni-Sarkozy in April 2009, here. For today's outing, the First Lady updated the look with a cropped black cardigan and pink Schreiner pin. This is the second year in a row that Mrs. O has worn a Thakoon dress for Easter Sunday.

Not gonna lie! When this cropped jumpsuit was sent to me I was actually terrified to wear it! I definitely had to have a small heart to heart with myself before trying it on! Okay, but seriously though if you've seen this type of jumpsuit around the internet chances are it wasn't worn by a plus size woman. I'm here to tell you yes, girl if you see this online and you want to go for it you definitely should! I will say this leaves nothing to the imagination and isn't for the shy. You've got to be completely ready to conquer this one head on. (I speak as if this will be the fight of your life) In all seriousness if nothing else throw this baby on with a blue jean jacket, a trench, a loose fitted maxi jacket, or tie a plaid button down around your waist and keep it moving! There is nothing stopping you from the finish line, but yourself. There are so many possible directions for this type of piece. I would actually love to wear it in many various ways and plan to do so. Maybe I could do a look book around this jumpsuit in the future? Let me know what you think!

Messi broke a 57-year-old record held by Cesar Rodriguez by scoring a hat-trick in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Granada.
That took his total for the club to 234, two goals more than Rodriguez, who played for the club from 1942 to 1955.
But Barcelona's website claims the highest goalscorer in the club's history is Paulino Alcantara. Filipino-born Alcantara is credited with scoring 369 goals in 357 games.
Yet Barcelona insist Alcantara's record counts goals scored in friendly matches, with Messi coming out on top in competitive fixtures.
Some commentators have also accused Barcelona of massaging the figures after Rodriguez, who left the club in 1952, was deducted three goals this week.
A joint study by the club and a local newspaper, La Vanguardia, decided on Monday to reduce his total, leaving Messi just one away from the record.
Messi's hat-trick then allowed him to break the record the next day against Granada in front of a bumper home crowd at the Nou Camp.
Rodriguez took 13 seasons to set the record. Messi, 24, needed just under eight.

The summer months always seem to fly by faster than the rest, and this June was no exception. We had a very busy month at Brahmin; welcoming summer with new collections and bag styles (like our new woven leather collection and versatile All Day collection). We also had the pleasure of hosting three fabulous women for an exclusive tour of the Brahmin factory (See more here, here and here), and lastly we just wrapped a fun video with Vogue and our Brahmin tastemaker, the lovely Jessie Artigue. Those are just a few highlights from our June- hopefully you all had a wonderful month as well!
Here's a few of our favorite Instagram pictures from the month. We felt these pics really captured an overall snapshot of Brahmin summer accessories. Thanks to everyone who posted their Brahmin pictures on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #Brahmin. As always- we love seeing all your amazing photos!

National Night Out (NNO), an annual, nationwide neighborhood watch campaign. The program promotes involvement in local crime and drug prevention activities, strengthens police-community partnerships and encourages neighborhood camaraderie as part of our national efforts to let criminals know that America is united and dedicated to building a safer, more caring country.
The 2019 National Night Out is scheduled for Oct. 1.
Along with the traditional "lights on" and front porch vigils, cities and towns across America celebrate NNO with a variety of events and activities such as:
National Night Out is held each year to encourage people throughout the nation to come outside and join their neighbors in giving neighborhood crime a "going away" party. Texas is the only state for now that is celebrating this program during the month of October.
Registration is free and gives police and other city representatives an opportunity to attend local events as time and circumstances permit. You do not have to be a current Neighborhood Watch neighborhood to participate. National Night Out is for everyone! Register now and begin planning your event as soon as possible. This event will take place regardless of rain, so be sure to plan accordingly.
Once your neighborhood is registered we will put you on our list of event sites to visit during the evening. Neighborhoods must register by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24 to ensure representatives will stop by. The Irving Police Department makes every effort to visit as many events as possible, but it can't visit if you don't register.

Today's blog is written by Debbie Fletcher. Debbie and her husband Lee Fletcher are dedicated volunteers who serve in many areas and lead a group called "Starting Point".
Today's Reading
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (-Jeremiah 29:11)
No matter how God has prepared us in advance for when we surrender our lives to serve Him, we are not done or fully grown. In fact, the greatest challenges to learn and grow are ahead! Not coincidentally, Paul met Christ for the first time on a road and he would "meet" Him on every road he traveled for the rest of his life.
We probably did not see a light and hear a voice from Heaven, but we met Christ somewhere on the road to our chosen destinations. Our lives took a detour at that point, and we've been walking ever since on the roads He's placed before us. Life is not only about receiving Jesus and one day seeing Him. Life also is about walking with Christ and learning from Him on the winding road of this life on earth.
Lee and I are excited to be leading a group through a course called "Starting Point", beginning on February 26th. It is designed for new believers, those with questions about their faith walk, or perhaps someone who has been away from the church and is coming back. This life God has given us is quite a journey, it only takes one step to accept God as your Savior. We would LOVE to walk along side you as we share this study of Starting Point. You can find us at: thepointva.com/groups – Starting Point.
Just like our human relationships, we can only know each other, begin to trust each other, and love each other with time spent together. Are we spending purposeful time with our Heavenly Father? His greatest desire is to have us, all of us. This can seem daunting at times, can't it? Let God show you an area you might need to adjust, in order to be at His feet more often.
Father, you have so much to give, share, and teach us through this life on earth. I pray our eyes and heart would always be open to your sweet voice whispering in our ear. There is no better place to be than aligned with your will, walking in your footsteps. Equip us mightily Lord, with power and discernment we can only get from you. We love you Lord Jesus!! Amen.

Why is conflict with our lover, partner, or spouse so stressful? Why is it so hard to control our reactions that range from murderous thoughts and angry words to dejection, dissociation, and withdrawal from sex? If you've been wondering, then you're not alone!

A successful return to cozy intimacy is a huge relief and builds confidence for the future.
When Lovers Attack describes 100+ tools, 15 dos and don'ts, and numerous master-level skills that Khalsa has learned over more than twenty years of personal and professional practice.

|Rushden Echo, 16th March 1928, transcribed by Kay Collins
Mr A Gadsby's Long Service
Rushden Guardian's Retirement A Man Loved by All
If Rushden has one man of whom it can be said that he is without an enemy, that man is Mr Abraham Gadsby, who for 23 years has been a Guardian of the Poor for the parish of Rushden, and who is now, at the age of 84 years, retiring from that work. While the negative compliment is a very high one, a still higher one can in truth be paid to Mr Gadsbythe positive compliment that he is a man beloved by all who know him.
Mr Gadsby's influence and service as a member of the Wellingborough Board of Guardians for nearly a quarter-of-a-century have been unique. No other person has been able to do quite the work he has done. He has carried a cheery optimism, a really remarkable note of sympathy, and a helpful and comforting religious message to the inmates of the "House," all of whom have looked forward to his coming and, as their brightening countenances have shown, have appreciated his handshake and his word of encouragement. While other members of the Board have done useful and necessary work in connection with financial and administrative matters, Abraham Gadsby's services have been mainly of the intimate personal character. He has got into close relationship with the inmates of the institution, and they have learned to regard him as a personal friend.
A recent illnessfrom which, we are glad to say, he has made a splendid recoveryled Mr Gadsby to the conclusion that he could no longer serve on the Board of Guardians, but we are glad to say that by a happy arrangement he will be allowed to continue to serve the inmates by visiting them as often as he can get over to Wellingborough. Mr Gadsby has done excellent work on the Cottage Homes Committee, the Religious Services Committee, and the Committee of management. Apart from his personal contact with the inmates, Mr Gadsby has been indefatigable in his work on the religious Services Committee, and he has taken a good deal of responsibility in arranging for religious ministrations at the institution. His colleagues on the Board regret his official severance from the work but appreciate the fact that he will continue as a visitor to the institution whenever possible.
One of the founders of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Park-road, Rushden, Mr Gadsby has been a chapel steward for many years and is one of the trustees. For a long period he was the superintendent of the Sunday school, and he has served his Church worthily in various capacities. In politics Mr Gadsby is a Liberal, and the Rushden Liberal Association have been proud of him as one of their nominees for the Board of Guardians.

Olathe candidate for Kansas House seat is arrested, charged with election perjury
Olathe candidate for Kansas House seat is arrested, charged with election perjury
An Olathe man running for a seat in the Kansas House of Representatives was arrested Thursday on a charge of election fraud.
Adam T. Thomas, 35, who is the Republican candidate for the 26th District House seat, is charged in Johnson County District Court with election perjury.
A spokeswoman for Kris Kobach, the Kansas Secretary of State who has made fighting supposed voter fraud a central role of his time in office, declined to comment.
The spokeswoman also said Kobach would not comment on the arrest in his role as the GOP candidate for governor.
The charge filed against Thomas is a felony and alleges that on May 31 he submitted a falsified document to state or county election officials.
Thomas was arrested Thursday morning and booked into the Johnson County jail.
Court documents available Thursday do not specify the allegations against Thomas.
But this summer, a Democratic lawmaker called for an investigation into Thomas, alleging that he provided false information about his residency when he filed to run for the office.
Rep. Vic Miller, the Democratic attorney who originally called for an investigation of Thomas, said he was glad to see "that the Johnson County district attorney has more political courage than apparently our secretary of state who claims to be so much against election fraud."
The Kansas GOP declined to comment on the arrest.
House Speaker Ron Ryckman, an Olathe Republican, said in a statement: "We are obviously disappointed with this news, but trust the legal system in place to investigate these serious charges."
Before the arrest, the State Objections Board was set to meet Monday at 1 p.m. regarding Thomas' candidacy because of a challenge brought against him.
That board, which includes the lieutenant governor, the attorney general and the secretary of state, could decide to remove Thomas from the November ballot.
The charge was filed by the office of Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe, who is a Republican.
Michael Kuckelman, the attorney for Thomas, referred to the situation as "pretty awful politics."
Thomas is going to fight the charge, he said, and plans to run for office and stay on the ballot.
"It's Kansas dirty politics at its worst," Kuckelman said.
Thomas was released from custody after posting bond Thursday night and is scheduled to make his initial court appearance on Sept. 18.

Mae's Closet
I've always felt that the room above Kate's bedroom was her daughter Mae's room. I wondered where her bed had been—against what rounded wall it stood. No doubt it was decorated as beautifully as the rest of the house-- "bright white," with a carpet, a dresser, a chair, perhaps a table, and places for her books and porcelain dolls. I also began to think that the other room on that floor belonged to Kate's son Jacob. One of its round windows overlooks the Manhattan skyline.
There's a pretty landing outside the two rooms; the ladder to the watch gallery curves up from it, and there's a round window—one of four that opens, in the wall. Kate said she would stand at that window and look out to the cemetery where John was buried. It still has its turnbuckles, glass, and rim, and we've always been able to open it. Kate climbed up to this landing, to the ladder leading up to the watch gallery. That gallery is lit from above by eight glass windows in the ceiling between it and the top deck, where the light is. Some of that light filtered down to the floors below.
While her children slept Kate made her way up from her bedroom, or perhaps the kitchen or sitting room, where she kept her log books, through the metal stairwell with its brick, cast iron, and beadboard walls, to the light deck to fuel the lamps with kerosene. I wonder if Mae heard her from time to time. No doubt she did.
So today, and I know it's speculative, I got another clue. While scraping and sanding the small closet in Mae's room—I'd done it before but not well—I realized that a peculiarly cut piece of wood up in the room was a shelf for that closet. Then Coop looked in and noticed that about three feet off the floor, on each side of the closet, was a wooden shelf bracket into which a pole would have fit—a bar on which to hang clothes. Oh this is all ridiculous—the timeline is way out of line—but the height seems right for it to be the place where a little girl might hang her dresses.
"Ahhh," said Megan, when I showed it to her. There were other slabs of wood set into the closet walls, but, well, this is an interpretation we shared. Later she spoke ruefully about how frustrating it is not to have any images or even records of the days in the eighteen-eighties and nineties at the lighthouse. But we do have our instincts—our speculations--our accumulated days of work bringing Mae's home back to life.
Lighthouse Log Book is a series of stream of consciousness writings by Executive Director Erin Urban after each Crew date at Robbins Reef. It's informal and meant to impart a sense of the energy of the volunteers and the work they accomplish in regular seven-hour workdays to Robbins Reef Lighthouse.

Hi Friends!
If you remember, two weeks ago I announced a fun project I was starting call #TopKnotTuesday where once a week I would feature a photo on my Instagram feed of a top knot that was shared with the hashtag #TopKnotTuesday. It has been SO fun so far! But...I'm realizing it's so hard to choose! I love everyone's participation and I now wish I could feature everyone's photos. So, this week, I've decided I'm going to try sharing a few runner ups here on Mayden's blog in addition to the one I choose to feature on my Instagram.
Today's featured Top Knot belongs to @abby_ashbacher and our runner ups are @jennawerk and @jessicajrinaldi. You girls are flawless!
Please keep sharing your knots and showing them to me with #TopKnotTuesday! I'm loving all of the entries! I just wanted to share a few suggestions that will make it easier for me to feature your posts! (1) Please post square images so that I can be sure to fit you on my Instagram feed! (2) Make sure the whole top knot is in view, and (3), try to find interesting locations or light, dreamy backgrounds so that the lovely person and their top knot stands out. You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking this idea and running with it! xoxo

Volleyball team
The volleyball team was a great team even though they had a rough season. Valley Christians volleyball team worked together very well, and the volleyball team couldn't have done it without a great coach. The volleyball team worked very hard, and they took their time to work on their skills even when we were doing practice. The team we versed was Vista Christian. In my opinion I thought the volleyball team tried their hardest just so they can try to prove that their school is the best.

Ireland call-up Graham Burke rescues a point for Shamrock Rovers against Waterford
Shamrock Rovers 1 Waterford 1
Graham Burke had cause to celebrate for the second time in two days as he marked his senior Ireland call-up with another goal, a vital one, for Shamrock Rovers to earn them a point at home to Waterford.
On Thursday, Martin O'Neill named the 24-year-old forward in a 40-man squad for a series of three games, starting with the Scott Brown testimonial in Scotland on Sunday week, and on Friday night Burke came up with the goal, a scrappy one but an important goal all the same, allowing Rovers to claim a point at home to the Blues in front of 2,349 supporters.
An off-colour Rovers had gone behind thanks to a long-range strike from Waterford midfielder Gavan Holohan which caught keeper Tomer Chencinski by surprise on 38 minutes, Rovers unable to trouble Blues keeper Lawrence Vigoroux to that point as the high-flying Blues were on top for long spells, Paul Keegan and Bastien Hery running things in midfield.
Rovers boss Stephen Bradley reacted with two half-time changes, bringing on Dan Carr and Brandon Miele as the side reverted to a flat back four, and it was Carr who did the hard work to get them their equaliser on 74 minutes, bustling down the left wing and sending in a cross which was met by the unmarked Burke at the far post.

…still waiting for Santa to drop off that 1450XLD and Atari Falcon030 under the tree. Meanwhile, the snacc-club.com website has been renewed for another year's neglect, and it's time to wish my SNACC pals a very happy holidays and prosperous 2015! Now, back to testing all of those unearthed E.T. cartridges!
Thanks in large part to Doug Thompson, who graciously scanned in his collection of old S.N.A.C.C. newsletters, you'll find a growing collection of them HERE. All but one issue from 1988 and all of 1989 are now available for download in Adobe PDF format. More coming soon!
Recently, I decided to renew the snacc-club.com domain and revive the website you're now reading. I'd originally started the site back in May of 2008 as I kept bumping into former club members and friends in person and on the then-new social media sites like Facebook and MySpace. Doing a Google search for S.N.A.C.C. revealed […]
Members Richard Bush and Rich Ayers have recently checked in.
The site was offline for a bit but is chugging along again. In the meantime, several club members have joined our Facebook group! Coming soon to the site: some scanned newsletters and magazine articles. Stay tuned.
A Facebook group has been created. If you're a Facebook member (or even if you aren't!), check it out.
We now have a MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/snacc_club. Be sure to stop by and check it out!

What makes for effective employee onboarding? Onboarding is a prime opportunity for employers to win over new employees yet many employers overwhelm new hires with a bundle of forms and policies to sign instead of using this time to create a strong bond. It's about the experience not the paperwork!
Effective onboarding practices are critical to setting up new employees for success and are an extension of the recruitment and selection process. Most companies spend significant resources on recruiting that perfect candidate and minimal time on how to convert that perfect candidate into a successful and engaged employee.
Onboarding is the bridge between finding exceptional talent and keeping it. Designing an onboarding process or program that drives retention and performance is the first step in a journey that can take weeks and sometimes even months. Focus on the experience.
A successful onboarding program consists of several steps:
Pre- Arrival – ensuring the new hire has all the basics to get started – computer, phone, office supplies or a welcome gift such as a company t-shirt or branded products.
First Two Weeks – get the new hire acclimated to the organization, explain the main responsibilities, the performance expectations and how their role fits in within the company. Coordinate a lunch with other team members so the new hire can see how their career goals fit in with the company's vision.
First 45 Days – training; ensure your new hire is empowered with the training and tools they need to be successful. While it's important to get your new hire ramped up quickly, it can be a lot to take in so make sure it's in easy to manage chunks. Assigning a mentor can make it easier!
First 6 Months to 1 Year– focus on culture and connection; goal-setting; invest in career development. Recognition and rewards show employees that their work is valued; employee recognition is one of the biggest factors in motivating and retaining people.

Commentary: Joseph Stiglitz's Latin American fans may be surprised
U.S. Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz has become a sort of rock star in left-of-center Latin American countries for his vocal criticism of free-for-all capitalism. But in a wide-ranging interview, he offered some advice that many of his fans in the region may not want to hear.
Stiglitz, who won the Nobel prize in economics in 2001 and a year later wrote Globalization and its Discontents, is not backtracking from his earlier assertions that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and U.S.-backed free market policies are to blame for much of world poverty, and for the current global crisis.
"I'm a critic of the way certain versions of capitalism have been developed," the Columbia University professor said. "I think that the unfettered capitalism, the deregulation that was central to American-style capitalism since the beginning of President Reagan's years, that's over."
He added that "many Americans are having second thoughts about the U.S. economic model, and that there are growing concerns that special interests are having a great deal of influence in stopping reforms that are needed."
"The United States doesn't really have what you might call a pure capitalist system: we have been socializing the losses as we've been privatizing the gains," he said. "We have government intervention in all varieties, but, unfortunately, it's for the most part intervention to help the banking sector, to help the drug companies, to help various special interests.
"It's a kind of corporate welfare ," he added. "So what I've actually been arguing is for a purer form of market economy, but one which focuses protection not on corporations, but on people."
But Stiglitz, who has been given red-carpet welcomes by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and other leaders who applaud his criticisms of the IMF, seems to have mellowed his criticism of the Washington-based lending institution.
"The IMF is much better than it was in the past, absolutely. It has changed in many ways, and I think everybody needs to recognize it," he told me. "It has said that it's going to give money to certain countries, at good rates, without the kind of conditionality that turned recessions into depressions."
When I asked him what Latin American countries should do to grow and reduce poverty faster, he said that they have to become more competitive in the global economy.
And contrary to many of his fans in the hard left, he seems to think that globalization is here to stay.
"One hidden aspect of this crisis is that while it is a financial crisis, it is an economic crisis: it marks a point in the transformation of the global economy, a shift in comparative advantages," he said. "If Latin America is going to prosper, it has to upgrade its skills, improve its technology to become more competitive in the global economy."
Why? Because the pie of the world economy is shrinking as a result of the crisis, and there will be greater competition among developing countries to sell their goods to the wealthiest markets, he said.
"The pie is shrinking, and people are competing fiercely for market share," he said. "We are moving now from manufacturing into a service economy, and this crisis may be a global demarcation point. And that means that countries really have to prepare for globalization have the skills with which to compete in a global marketplace."
Citing the case of Mexico, he said that many of its problems "can be traced back to its failure to invest enough in education, infrastructure."
He added, "China does not have free trade access to the United States, but China directed its energies to investments in education, technology, infrastructure, and it more than overcame the competitive disadvantage of not having free access to the United States."
My opinion: Stiglitz is often taken out of context by Chávez, Kirchner and other populists who make him sound as if he were anti-globalization. Judging from what I heard from him, he's not.
He knows that world poverty has come down from 40 to 19 percent of the planet's population over the past two decades, since China, India and other countries inserted themselves in the global economy. Still, it would be great if he made that point clearer when he talks with his anti-globalization fans: he may take it for granted that they know that, too, but they often don't.

I knew a fellow, a lives-and-breathes-them Land Rover aficionado, who was on his way across Africa in a 109 Station Wagon when the rear differential blew. Someone on a forum, as I recall, referred to the event in terms of a "breakdown"—which elicited an aggrieved response from the owner. This was not a "breakdown," he insisted. Why? Because differentials are "maintenance items."
If you are a lives-and-breathes them Land Rover aficionado, or if you know one, you'll recognize this syndrome. Over the years, and to a greater or lesser extent depending on the model, Land Rovers have become known for being, how shall I put this . . . co-dependent. Because of this, owners are constantly besieged with quips, snarky comments, and jokes. ("Eight out of ten Land Rovers ever made are still on the road. The other two made it home." Etc.) These are especially likely to come from Toyota owners revelling in their own brand's sterling reputation. Desperate-sounding ripostes about Toyotas being "appliances" only come off as desperate-sounding—the Toyota owner just smirks and leaves the Land Rover owner grinding his teeth.
Perhaps it was the resulting Maginot mentality that led to the simple defense of not acknowledging breakdowns as breakdowns, and not calling repairs repairs. After decades of association with Land Rover owners, I've realized that the word 'repair' should not be applied to any procedure being performed on one of their vehicles unless they've rigged a steel beam on two A-frames extending side to side through both open doors, and are using three pulley blocks and a team of donkeys to remove something. And even then: A dear (nameless) friend whose Defender's transmission failed on an epic trans-Africa trip actually excuses it with, "It wasn't the vehicle's fault. A part was installed incorrectly at the factory." Um, okay, Graham. The reductio ad absurdum of this peculiar mental illness is reached when the poor owner begins typing spluttering forum posts such as, "They're only unreliable if you don't use them hard enough!"
I can write this without (much) fear of assassination because I have always felt a strong attraction to Land Rovers, and at the moment own two of them. At the same time I can keep one eyebrow raised ironically because I also own an FJ40 Land Cruiser that in 35 years has not once, one single time, left me stranded. In 1978, when I bought it, my choice was between the Toyota or a 1974 Series III 88, at that time a product of the troubled British Leyland group ('troubled' and 'British Leyland' being completely redundant phrasing). Everyone short of the State Department warned me off the Land Rover, and in retrospect buying the FJ40 was absolutely the right choice. Reliability aside, towing a 21-foot sailboat or a utility trailer loaded with eight sea kayaks would have been problematic with the 88's 75 horsepower. And then there were those axles . . .
Where was I? Right: The big question, of course, asked by everyone who is not of the lives-and-breathes community, is why? Where does what seems like this blind devotion come from, when there are so many alternatives, however appliance-like they may be?
One simple answer on logical grounds would be that Land Rovers work so well when they work that owners are willing to put up with constant fettling. From the range-topping Range Rover, still unmatched in its combination of luxury and off-pavement prowess, to the Defender, still unmatched in its combination of pliant ride with outstanding cargo capacity, and fine turbodiesel power with excellent fuel economy, Land Rover has been ahead of other marques in numerous engineering details since the 1970s.
But that's the logical answer, and logical answers are vulnerable to logical ripostes regarding . . . reliability—surely, many would point out, the most critical characteristic of any expedition vehicle.
I think the real answer to the unswerving loyalty of Land Rover owners is the intangible, but undeniable, aura of history and romance that surrounds the Land Rover as it does no other expedition vehicle. Hook up electrodes to the brain of the most loyal Toyota/Nissan/Ford/Jeep owner, and ask him to, quickly, picture a vehicle on an African safari, and I guarantee the diagnostic screen is going to produce an image of a Land Rover, roof rack loaded with jerry cans, plowing through the bulldust of Tanzania.
Whatever the real reason is, I consider myself immune to such blind unreasoning justification.
Or, I did. Until this weekend.
I drove our recently acquired ex-MOD 110 Defender out to our desert property to do some work on the camping area. On the way out I'd noticed the shifting of the LT77 five-speed seemed to be more recalcitrant than usual (it's due to be replaced with a later R380, along with a 300Tdi powerplant, soon). Just as I pulled up to park near the cottage, I was suddenly presented with, in the immortal words of the late James Hunt, a gearbox full of neutrals. Uh oh.
I had no factory manual, and no experience with the LT77, so I just got out the tools and began fettling. With the rubber shift boot pulled off, it became obvious the issue lay beneath a shift tower that supported two springs which helped locate the shift lever. With the springs popped off to the side, the lever came out (sending another spring-loaded plunger smartly across the cab, fortunately found). Four bolts undid the tower, and with it off the problem was immediately apparent: The metal and nylon socket into which the lever's ball fits had come off the operating shaft, in turn because a set screw had come loose. Slide the socket assembly back on, tighten the set screw, tower bolted back in place, shift lever in and springs prized back on, and we're finished. More or less precise shifting back in operation.
And then it happened.
I was thinking that, if the problem occurred again, I could probably have it sorted in less than 10 minutes. And as I innocently, happily considered that, another thought flowed—smoothly, sinuously, completely unbidden—into my brain:
It hardly even counts as a repair.
I'm doomed.
Or maybe I'm just not using it hard enough?

Scrambled. Poached. Fried. Florentine. Boiled.No question, no matter how it comes, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I see "Breakfast served 24hrs" in the corner of a menu and my heart fairly cartwheels in contentment.
(Ok, ok, before any of you start getting all up in my face trying to call me out on this, I never actually said that I enjoy eating eggs at some ungodly hour of the morning when no civilized person should be out of bed. To be exact, I probably prefer "Brunch" to Breakfast and were I Bilbo Baggins, I suppose "2nd Breakfast" would be my preferred fare…)My point is, I'll take a couple of eggs, home fries and a mountain of fresh fruit over a fancy dinner any time. I don't even care how well the food is prepared. Runny eggs, charred toast, day old potatoes, dirt-like coffee, no matter how it comes, that perfect combination of carbs, cholesterol and caffeine somehow picks me up and puts me in a good mood all day.
Some would say I am overly optimistic."You're so positive!" a colleague said to me recently.
It was not meant as a compliment. His tone fairly oozed with exasperated frustration at my refusal to adopt his glass-half-empty cynicism no matter how dim the potential future of our mutual project.We had been discussing a particularly challenging situation at work. I had been reassuring him that it would all work out. That we needed to persist because that was the right thing to do. That we had to have faith because frankly, what else did we have? He looked at me as though I had committed the most heinous of office crimes. Right up there with taking your colleague's yogurt from the fridge without asking or showing up to a retirement potluck empty-handed.
It was not the first time I have been the recipient of such disdain. I have been called naïve, gullible, overly trusting, foolishly optimistic. Bosses have shaken their heads as they write "will learn to accept the reality of inevitable negative outcomes" and "needs to accept some have limited capacity to change" as my recurring annual personal objectives. But I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around this "constructive criticism".I have known Jack for years. I was drawn to him by his intense sensitivity and indignation at the injustices of the world. But the charm of his apparent concern soon faded to another colour. At first I couldn't grasp why he started to lose his appeal. Why I still cared for him but found myself looking at my watch when we were together. Why sometimes I would just keep walking when I saw him sitting in the lunchroom. And then it hit me one day as I sat across the table listening to him recount his weekly grocery list of troubles; his boss was incompetent, he was sure his dentist was trying to scam him, his colleagues were dishonest and weren't pulling their weight, the parking ticket he just received was an unfair money grab from a corrupt government …He was upset about how he was treated. He was upset at how others were treated. Mostly he was just upset. I mean intensely… terminally… upset.
And that's when it hit me.Jack was a real drag.
Somehow, he was unhappy and suspicious of everyone and everything...All. The. Time. I mean it's not like I never feel crappy. Lord knows I am often down, discouraged, or disappointed. And I am the first to admit I have about as much in common with Mother Theresa as I do with the Klingon mothership. Every day my sarcastic conscience (imagine the love child of Lewis Black and Sarah Silverman, a hot ranting cynic with stilettos and a receding hairline…) sits on my shoulder just dying to editorialize. Gum-chewing, whiskey-swilling Lara Silverblack itches to yell out, "Yeah, root canals suck, I dunno, maybe put down your soda, get off the couch and floss once in a while! If you're so upset about your parking ticket, maybe trade in your gas-guzzling sports car for a flashy pair of roller-skates! "Like everyone, I have regular moments where other people's choices and actions spark such a "WTF" reaction in me that the temptation to spew biting tidbits of mockery is almost overwhelming. But the truth is, as much as I might get a little commiseration or laughter in return, it doesn't generally change anything and I still feel, well… crappy.
Fact is, Jack's right. Every day we're faced with mountains of frustrations we can't control- other people's actions, unexpected hurdles, the backside of human nature… For a control freak like me, this is an awesome revelation. And I don't mean "Awesome" in that 13 year old "Groovy dude!" kind of awesome. More like that 43 year old, holy-shit-how- the-hell-am-I-ever-going-to-cope-in-a-world-of-completely-unpredictable-chaos kind of "awesome."Thankfully, I can still try to control my reactions.
This morning I am out for breakfast with my children, and am feeling indecisive. Scrambled, poached, fried…My daughter looks up from where she is coloring on her place mat.
"Mommy, Nicky was crying yesterday."I brace myself. Nicky is 10 years old and in my daughter's class. She is a troubled kid whose disruptive anti-social behaviour and unsuccessful pharmacological treatment isolate her from her classmates. For years I have tried to calm my protective mother lioness as I listen to daily stories of how Vicky was "bugging me at lunch" or "calling me names in the schoolyard".
"She was crying, Mommy. She has to change schools and she's scared no one will like her or they'll call her a bully."Lara Silverblack wakes up on my shoulder, cracks her gum and starts to mutter. Oh the karmic balance of the universe.
"So what did you do?" I tentatively ask, taking a drawn out gulp of my coffee."Well, I hugged her and told her it was all going to be ok because everyone would love her."
And with one phrase, Lara Silverblack is knocked off her Jimmy Choos and my wavering needle is straightened out by my daughter, whose own moral compass always points true North, showing me life can be harsher than our reactions need be."How would you like your eggs today, ma'am?" the waitress cuts off my reverie of shame.
And taking a breath, I close my menu and answer without hesitation.
"Sunny side up."

Winner: Andrew Martins, British Columbia Institute of Technology
Presented by: Thomas Mueller, President and CEO, Canada Green Building Council
Andrew won for his project called The Center for Urban Energy Exchange. His vision sees buildings resembling something similar to a living organism, rather than a conventional building, and this idea forms the basis of his architectural methodology, which he calls Whole System Design. The Centre for Urban Energy Exchange would use the potential energy stored in organic food waste, municipal solid waste, and black water waste and convert it back into usable heating and electricity, while producing profit-generating revenue via the conversion's by-products. Through this submission, Andrew also demonstrated a net revenue stream for this building prototype, which could be turned it into smaller, economically-feasible business models that are scalable, more easily implemented and able to help distribute wealth and share the benefits of micro grids.
