Jody and Carl, the only characters in Lonely Planet, are habitués of a sleepy little shop called Jody's Maps in an unnamed American city. These middle-aged men, intricately rendered in Steven Dietz's subtle, elegiac script, are being realized vividly by New York stage veterans Arnie Burton and Matt McGrath in a Keen Company production celebrating the 25th anniversary of the play's premiere at Northlight Theatre in Evanston, Ill. Lonely Planet, winner of the PEN Center USA Award for Drama, was written when the arts were being defoliated by an epidemic beyond the American medical community's control. AIDS is the background of the play, but not its subject.
Dietz is adept at withholding crucial information about characters and their motivation, calculating the moments when revelation achieves maximal dramatic impact. In Lonely Planet, he brings two dark-horse figures into focus slowly and deliberately. The men are intriguing from the outset; when finally comprehended in full, they're heartbreaking.
The flamboyant Carl (played by McGrath) sweeps in and out of Jody's Maps, making colorful pronouncements, some contradicting what he's said before, and most of them audaciously false. From time to time, he also brings chairs.
Jody (Burton)—calm, steady, and always in the shop—is averse to clutter. "One day I saw a chair here," he tells the audience, breaching the fourth wall of Anshuman Bhatia's realistic stage design. "I had no idea where [that chair] had come from. I looked at it. I sat in it. … Nothing else."
As more chairs arrive, some single spies, other in battalions, Jody demands an explanation. Carl responds with several colorful stories; Jody knows they're fabrications (and so does the audience).
There's an air of absurdity about the chairs stacking up around the shop. When Jody mentions he's reading a play called The Chairs, it becomes clear that Dietz's imaginative universe is inspired, at least in part, by Romanian-French dramatist Eugène Ionesco, master of the mid-20th-century Theater of the Absurd. (No specialized knowledge is necessary to appreciate the connection between Lonely Planet and Ionesco—Dietz's dialogue tells the audience enough to clarify the allusions.)
Dietz is an erudite writer who wields his literary and scientific references with a light touch. As specified in his script, the back wall of Bhatia's set features a photograph of earth from space and two framed maps. The first map is a Mercator projection (familiar from schoolroom walls) that warps the proportions of continents to accommodate straight-line latitude and longitude markings at right angles to each other (inflating Greenland, as Jody observes, to "roughly the size of South America and twice the size of China"). The second map is a Peters projection, representing accurately the size of land masses relative to each other but distorting their shapes, making them fat near the equator and skinny toward the poles.
"A mapmaker takes a messy round world and puts it neat and flat on the wall in front of you," says Jody. "And to do this, a mapmaker must decide which distortions, which faulty perceptions he can live with—to achieve a map which suits his purposes."
Directed by Jonathan Silverstein, Lonely Planet isn't an absurdist exercise like Ionesco's 1952 comedy-drama; it's an emotionally resonant play about two men's changing perceptions of the messy, all-too-real world they're navigating. The disorder the chairs create on the selling floor of Jody's Maps is a fanciful, poignant depiction of how out of kilter the pair feel their world has become. They spend their days calibrating their gaze to the gruesome, disappointing visions around them; and they do so bravely—though to say more about that would steal the thunder of the actors and their playwright.
Born in the middle of the postwar baby boom, Dietz is one of the most produced dramatists in the United States. His plays, including Trust (presented in New York by the Barrow Group in 1995) and Fiction (Roundabout, 2004), are staged frequently around the country, though not often in Manhattan.
Burton and McGrath take advantage of all the humor and heart in Dietz's script, sidestepping anything sentimental or lachrymose. Their impeccably credible performances, thoroughly in tune with each other, outshine everything else about the otherwise fair-to-middling Keen Company production. Lonely Planet, in their hands, is the kind of compelling evening that invites a second visit. In an earlier day (the 1950s or '60s, for instance), these actors could have anticipated performing a drama of this caliber on Broadway, under the direction of an Elia Kazan or a Mike Nichols. Because of the tough economics of today's theater, McGrath and Burton are working in a tiny venue on Theatre Row which, by happenstance, affords a degree of intimacy that's ideal for Dietz's jewel of a play.
The Keen Company production of Lonely Planet runs through Nov. 18 at the Clurman Theatre at Theatre Row (410 West 42nd St.). Evening performances are at 7 p.m. Tue.–Thur. and 8 p.m. Fri. and Sat.; matinees are at 2 p.m. Sat. and 3 p.m. Sun. Tickets are available at the Theatre Row Box Office, online at Telecharge.com or by calling (212) 239-6200. Tickets are $65 for all performances (except $20 for Tue.); premium tickets are $80.

Hello Kurvy Loves! It's Week 2 of the Leather Works Series on the blog! Remember to check back every Monday over the next few weeks to see how I incorporate leather into a look for the Fall. Today's inspo: Girl on the Town. Missed last week? No worries, you can catch up here.
When I think of the Girl on the Town, she is confident, sexy, sassy and outgoing. She feels great in her own skin and owns her curves. She's out and about, sashaying into stores, picking up a new outfit and having drinks with her girlfriends. What do you think about this description? Does it fit your idea of a curvy goddess?
Clearly I was feeling this look! Keeping all the above characteristics in mind, I went for a easy to re-create look using textured leather. This pleated faux-leather skirt is very on-trend and won't break the budget (yay). Lucky enough, I found this great top at a consignment shop for $10. The added detail of studded shoulders and a faux leather pocket kept the look pulled together and gave it a little edge. Patent leather heels with any outfit can be lethal baby...but with this look...watch out...lol
Mixing cool tones with warm metals is a new obsession of mine. It challenges the ordinary.
How do you challenge the ordinary?Did I nail this *girl on the town* look? Let me hear you below!
Enjoy today!

Retirement Blogs Baby Boomers Should Read!
It's no surprise that baby boomers are starting to wind down their working careers and begin the next journey of their lives. But how many of us baby boomers have managed to save enough to live a half way decent retirement with what we have saved? Sadly many have not saved enough money and are looking to Social Security to supplement any pensions or money saved. What does this mean for all of us baby boomers and what is a blog? Check the video below.
We may just end up living on the measly Social Security benefits which on average amounts to about $1200.00 per month. And that's not much in today's economy. in fact the average rent across the country would eat that money up earch month. Yes, we are a generation of people who lived well through the 80's and 90's but since the 2000's we have suffered job loss due to lower wage workers who were picked up by low ball employers and other shady people trying to save a buck. The result is many baby boomers even in their 50's can not find work anywhere. Call it age discrimination which most will not admit to because that's exactly what it is.
What's The Answer To Earning Extra Money For Boomers?
If you're like me you worked hard in your working years and thought you were doing the right thing. Work hard, collect a check and pay your taxes. So, what happened? The generation of hard workers disappeared and were replaced by keyboard clacking enthusiast who figured out ways to make a buck not doing much of anything. That's right. The digital age is upon us. And for baby boomers who aren't tech savvy, they will more than likely not be able to compete in this new economy.
The good news is anyone can get into the digital workplace if you learn some basic principles of how to earn online.
How does this digital marketing work for retirement for baby boomers? Simple really. You build a website and add products to it. You learn how to write content like I am doing here. And then you promote or have someone promote your website for you. It's simple, won't break your back and millions of people are doing it across the globe. Your job is to find a niche you like to write about and then just do it!
Start Your Retirement Journey And Make Residual Income For Life!
I know you're thinking c'mon, is this another scam? Well, that's what I thought when I started looking into digital marketing. I thought there's no way an old dog like me who had been in the Marine Corps and then made a living as an electrician after my stint in the service could learn this digital marketing stuff. But, I was determined to learn something new and I dedicated myself to the learning process.
How long did it take me to earn any money? Honestly it took a few months before my website started generating traffic but when it did I was literally astonished at how simple yet effective this who thing was. I went step by step and learned how to blog, insert links and promote my blogs on my website. As my website grew I had more traffic and then at about the year mark I made my first sale. At that point I was convinced that learning the digital economy was the way to go.
And that is the story of how I went from being retired due to not being able to work in my field to learning something new and succeeding. This website generates enough income so I don't have to worry about looking for more work outside of my home. I like it, it's fun and I have met many people like me who do the same and build their own websites and make extra income for retired folks. You can do it and I know it's the wave of the future!

Understand aperture is key for anyone wanting to take better pictures and to get their camera out of auto mode. In this article, I will help you not only understand aperture and how to control it, but help you learn about the creative aspects it brings so you can create beautiful images. Aperture is one of the three components of photography, the other two being shutter speed and ISO.
Feel free to also check out my in-depth article on learning photography. This article can help you make sense and put together all of these components of exposure to help you become a better photographer.
Let me help you understand aperture.
1. What is Aperture?
Simply stated, aperture is a hole, or opening that is located in the lens. The aperture is made up of small blades that can move, thus allowing the hole to be varying sizes from small to large.
The size of this hole is important in photography, as it controls two things, the amount of light that enters the camera and the depth of field, or the zone of sharpness of an image.
I will explain both of those in more detail later, right now let me explain how you read and adjust the size of the hole on your camera.
2. Aperture and F-Stops.
The size of the aperture hole is measured in what are called f-stops (stop coming from the term 'stop of light'). The f-stop number corresponds to a particular size of the aperture hole, therefore to adjust the size of the hole, select the corresponding f-stop number.
Take a look at the chart below to see the numbers and the corresponding aperture size.
Now that you know how to adjust the aperture on your camera, it is time to learn what aperture does.
3. Aperture Controls Light
This one is easy to understand, right? As you can see from the image above, the larger the aperture hole, the more light will enter the camera.
Conversely, the smaller the hole, the less light will enter the camera. Take a look again at the image above, and take notice of the f-stop numbers in relation to the size of the aperture hole.
Anything stand out? Take notice that the smaller the f-stop number, the larger the hole. And the larger the f-stop number, the smaller the aperture hole.
The f-stop number has an inverse relationship with the size of the hole
This idea can be confusing to remember but is important to know as it helps you to know the amount of light that is coming into the camera.
Especially when shooting in low-light situations, setting the f-stop to create the largest opening possible, is important. And, when shooting outdoors at noon, you will want to set an f-stop number that gives you a smaller opening and keeps too much light from entering the camera.
Take a look at the images below. I shot each image of our monkey friends at a different f-stop so you can see the image actually getting darker as the aperture hole gets smaller.
Notice that only the f-stop changes between these images, the shutter speed and ISO settings are in the bottom right corner and remain constant throughout the images.
The f-stop f2.8 gives a larger aperture hole than f16, therefore the f2.8 image is much brighter than the f16 image. This demonstrates that by changing the f-stop number, you can add or remove light from your images.
Also notice that that front and back monkey start getting blurry at f4 and get even worse at f2.8. This blurriness is controlled by your aperture and is what we will cover next. It is called depth of field.
4. Aperture Controls Depth of Field
You may be familiar with the term depth of field, but may not be able to explain what it means. Let us define it as "the zone of sharpness in front of, and behind the subject in an image."
This zone of sharpness is determined by the size of the aperture hole in the lens, and as you have already learned, that opening is determined by the f-stop number you select.
This awesome chart of our hipster friend in the mountains helps us visualize this concept. If you want a shallow depth of field in your images, you must choose a small f-stop number. Conversely, to achieve a large depth of field in your images, choose a large f-stop number.
Small f-stop number = shallow depth of field
large f-stop number = large depth of field
Shallow Depth of Field
To achieve a shallow depth of field, shoot with a small f-stop number. By doing this, the zone of sharpness in your image will be quite small, helping your subject to stand out from the background. The image below of my sick son is a good example of this.
Poor fella, he was trying to be a good subject for one of my photography classes but a fever kicked in halfway through the class. He was a trooper! Beyond his sad little face, look how the bacground just melts away as I shoot with a small f-stop. I love using this technique to really draw the attention of the viewer to my subject.
For the image of my son, I choose a small f-stop number to remove distractions in the background and focus the viewers attention on him. I shot this image at f1.4.
The bride and groom, I had to be careful not to select too small of an f-stop number, or one of them would fall outside the zone of sharpness. I selected f2.8.
Large Depth Of Field
On the next set of images, you'll notice the zone of sharpness around the subject is quite large. A large depth of field is often used in landscape and nature photography to allow the full scene to be in focus and sharp.
Photographing groups of people.
When photographing groups of people, a larger depth of field is needed as well, to make sure the entire group is sharp. To achieve a large depth of field in photography, select a large f-stop number.
Had I shot this image with a small f-stop number, most of the group would be out of focus. Shooting this image at f8.0 yielded a large zone of sharpness and allowed me to keep everyone in focus.
Take a look at this next set of images. Notice that the light doesn't change on our monkey friends as the f-stop changes. This is because I adjusted the other components of exposure to maintain the same brightness to the image.
I did this on purpose, to focus your attention on the depth of field and not on the light. Notice how the zone of sharpness decreases as the f-stop decreases.
Small f-stop number = Small DOF
Large f-stop number = Large DOF
5. BOKEH (boh-ke)
You may have heard the word, bokeh in your photography studies, and I want to make sure you understand its meaning. The word Bokeh, comes from the Japanese word meaning blur, and is associated with depth of field.
The term bokeh, refers to the shape of the blurred light in a shallow depth of field image.
This shape is generally round, or the shape of the aperture inside the lens. Take a look at this image of the bird. Notice the round shapes in the background behind the bird, that is bokeh.
4. Aperture Priority Mode
Aperture priority mode, is a shooting mode found on cameras that allows the photographer to adjust the f-stop when taking pictures while the camera determines then other components of exposure, shutter speed and ISO (when in Auto ISO).
Shooting in this mode allows you to focus your attention on the depth of field in the image.
To put the camera into aperture priority mode, find the shooting mode dial located on the top of the camera, and move it to A or Av.
5. Reading the Aperture of a Len
It's important to understand that not all lenses are created equal. Some lenses can go as low as f1.2 and some can only go to f5.6.
For this reason, it becomes important to understand the markings on the lens body that give you this information. On the lenses below, look for the 1:1.8. Ignoring the 1:, the lowest achievable f-stop number these lenses can obtain is f1.8.
With Nikon lenses, the lens information is usually located on the outside barrel of the lens. With Canon lenses, it is most often found on the front end of the lens.
Higher-end Canon lenses also have the lens information around the outside barrel. So look around until you see the numbers being described.
Look at lens below. What is the lowest achievable f-stop of this lens?
The lowest achievable f-stop on this lens is a range, f3.5-f4.5. This is a zoom lens, and on this lens, the lowest achievable f-stop changes as the lens zooms in and out.
At its widest angle of view (18mm), the lowest achievable f-stop is f3.5 and at the most telephoto angle of view (35mm), the lowest achievable aperture is f4.5.
Just understand that when a lens lists a range of f-stops, as the focal length changes, so does the lowest achievable f-stop.
Keep in mind that all lenses will have a range of f-stops that they can achieve, but only the lowest achievable f-stop will appear on the lens body.
Most people don't care, as they are only interested in that small number.
Take a look at your lenses, what is the lowest achievable f-stop of the lenses you own?
Time to get a new lens?
Often times, the lowest achievable f-stop is in the f3.5-f5.6 range, which will not deliver the type of shallow depth of field I have demonstrated here.
If you are wanting to purchase a lens to get that super-shallow depth of field, for a great price, take a look at these lenses.
There you have at! An in depth tutorial on aperture. Remember, practice makes perfect, so get out there and practice what you've learned.
I would recommend shooting in aperture priority mode to start so you can focus solely on aperture and not the other settings. But for heaven's sakes, get your camera out of auto mode once and for all!

Writing Across the Curriculum committee announces writing contest winners
By Grace Manthey
The Quinnipiac University Writing Across the Curriculum committee announced its undergraduate writing contest winners Thursday morning. The winners of the contest are Danielle Radeke, Maily Tran and Jordan Wasylak.
The contest's theme this year, "Compassion," is a common thread throughout the university. Research and Writing Institute director, Paul Pasquaretta, who carefully combed through every submission, said the value has been a focus since 2016.
"I think it has something to do with the fact that life is stressful and difficult. One way to help each other is the ability to respond compassionately to each other and have the capacity for that feeling," Pasquaretta said.
WAC is a common program among universities, according to psychology Professor Christopher Hakala, the executive director for the Center for Teaching and Learning. It's goal is to help faculty and students use their experiences in different classes to make their writing stronger.
Hakala says Quinnipiac does it better than many other schools.
"Instead of making it extra work we make it more of a process. We encourage students to use writing as a tool to think about things differently," he said.
Hakala admitted that many students don't necessarily always enjoy the program, but senior Danielle Radeke said her experiences as a nursing major has made a big difference on the way she thinks about writing.
"My patient experiences have opened my eyes to the reality that everyone has a story," Radeke said. "I have also witnessed how one person bearing the burden with the person grieving really lightens the load. So nursing has made me who I am as a person and a writer."
Radeke has been doing theater since she was six, and plans to continue after college in addition to her nursing career. She submitted a play she wrote for one of her theater classes to the WAC contest, called "Colby's Trucks."
Pasquaretta said Radeke's play stood out because she was able bring together lots of different parts of her education.
As a senior, Radeke has been able to refine her interdisciplinary techniques. Another winner, physical therapy major Maily Tran said because she is a freshman she hasn't taken many classes related to her major yet. But her other classes have opened her eyes to recognizing and understanding different experiences.
Tran submitted a poem titled, "Capable of Compassion."
"No matter who we are, different ages, from different backgrounds, we can experience suffering in various forms. But, as humans, compassion can always to be there to help ease that suffering," Tran said about the main theme of her work.
She said much of her inspiration came from her Introduction to Honors course, a zero credit class taken by all freshman honors students in to supplement their First Year Seminar. For class they were required to attend a presentation led by Scarlett Lewis, the mother of Sandy Hook victim Jesse Lewis.
"She emphasized the importance of compassion, among other factors such as social emotional learning to the development of a happier, healthier population in our world," Tran said.
The contest's third winner, Jordan Wasylak, is also a freshman, but a film major. She saw the contest as motivation to do some creative writing.
Wasylak's piece, "Blue" is a story about the relationship between a young girl and an older homeless man.
"I wanted to emphasize the innocence of children and how, for the most part, they are born with kindness until people tell them to treat certain people differently," she said.
Wasylak said an English class she took last semester helped her learn to write without fear of messing up. She is now thinking about minoring in English.
The three winners received $150, a gift card to the Quinnipiac Bookstore, and a book related to their winning piece of writing. The QUWAC will schedule a ceremony for the winners later in the spring semester. Pasquaretta said he hopes to have a date early next week.

We finally returned to hike the beautiful 20 Lakes Basin again (we've been there before, in 2012).
This time it was a really warm and bright sunny day. When we hiked in on the west side of Saddlebag Lake we had the sun in our backs, and I didn't notice how the small vegetation at this elevation was glowing in bright red, orange and yellow when backlit by the sun. Once I did see it, I could hardly stop making photos because it's so beautiful – and as a result, constantly had to play catch-up with Alex and Toni, who were well ahead of me. That way I got to include them in some of my photos at least. 🙂
If you're interested in the hike, Alex has a link to his GPS log that he recorded, in his blog post.

About Martina Sheehan
Le Moray has a long history of welcoming visitors to Brisbane. It has been one of Brisbane's stylish riverfront short stay apartments since 2012 when the whole building underwent a transformation.

Why Martina Sheehan chose New Farm
In May 2017, my husband Phil and I stayed at Le Moray for 2 weeks. We loved it so much we bought it! Brisbane had been our home for over 25 years, but in 2016 we started travelling the world, returning to Brisbane only occasionally to see family. We now make our home in apartments just like Le Moray in whichever town we find ourselves, living our "life with no baggage". We are thrilled to continue welcoming people to Le Moray, and applying the experiences from our own travel to make your time here perfect.

Excellent Brisbane location
We could not fault anything about the flat. It was thoughtfully provided with essentials like coffee, tea and milk. Terri was helpful and friendly and the check in process went well. The location of the flat is about a 30 minute walk to the centre of Brisbane but, only 10 minutes away Howard Smith Wharf was great for restaurants and bars. An excellent location.
Finally the highest point of the flat was the view over the river and the Storey bridge- lit up every night and even fireworks on one.
Altogether a lovely week in Brisbane.
It was our pleasure to have you stay! We hope the rest of your trip was just as enjoyable. Our best to you both. Martina & Terri
Apartment with a VIEW
Property is modern, well maintained and well equipment. Within walking distance of downtown. The view of Story bridge and Brisbane river from 11th story window is incredible.
My wife and I just returned from a five night stay at Le Moray and loved it. The apartment is exactly as the pictures depict, and everything is wonderfully maintained. Martina is very responsive and provided great advice on transportation options for us. Terri was able to meet us and provided a lot of information as well. Martina also has a very excellent set of information in a binder, which was a super reference when we needed it. The apartment is wonderfully situated, and the view from the 11th floor windows onto the Brisbane River and the CBD is beautiful. If you choose to cook, the apartment has a very good selection of quality pots, dishes, cooking utensils, and stemware. New Farm is very close to the CBD, and we walked or took the City Hopper (free ferry) or City Cat (nominal fee, but fast) to all of the sites we chose to see while in Brisbane. If you want to walk to the CBD, at the corner of Kent St. and Bowen Tce look for an elevator that will take you down to the river level walkways. An advantage of this apartment is the availability of good food stores or dining options close by. Our favorites were Chouquette (just around the corner on Barker St) with wonderful croissants/patisserie and the Coles shopping center (about a 10 minute walk or use bus 196 which stops outside the apartment) with a wonderful deli, butcher shop, and wine merchant.
Please note: this apartment is compact in size and works best for a couple.
In sum, we'd love to return again to Brisbane and stay here.
Beautiful view. Excellent Apartment
Very nice apartment with an amazing view overlooking the Brisbane river. Martin a and Teri were very helpful and informative. It was the best stay of our nineteen days in Australia
We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and it was our great pleasure to have you celebrate your wedding anniversary here. Wishing you wonderful memories! Martina

I was really hoping that the Sabres season wouldn't come down to this, depending on wins against Detroit, Carolina, and Boston, as well as losses from everyone else, to get us into the post-season.
Call me a Debbie Downer, but let's be realistic. I'm just prepping myself for the pain I'm going to feel Sunday morning when I can no longer watch the Sabres until September.
And don't think this doesn't kill me, because it does.
Last night, while Kim and I were watching the Blackhawks game over at Clare's with Emily, I was being all optimistic. I honestly don't remember what I said, but it was something along the lines of, "Hey, the Sabres can make it!" But then I had to go and ruin it for myself by saying that, even if they do make the playoffs, they won't go further than the first round. I mean, Boston? The Boston Bruins? For serious? We went 3-2 against them this year (…which is actually a lot better than I had thought; I remembered us getting killed by them basically every single time we played them except for the debut of the third jersey. Apparently I don't pay attention enough?). Yes, that's not entirely all that bad, but Boston has been atop the East all season, and they're a damn good team who hasn't had to kill themselves to *maybe* make the playoffs. The Sabres would be tired, and probably wouldn't stand much of a chance against the Bruins.
And I don't know what's worse… Missing the playoffs? Or the propects of being obliterated in the first round?
Hell, I'm going to be the same old optimistic fan I always have been.
We're going to the finals.
On another note, my new best friend Ashley who lives up in Portland is the love of my life. Mike Funk news and pictures are two of my favorite things ever, and she knows just how to make me happy.
Anne and I have been swooning for 12 hours straight for many reasons, and it's not doing our psyches any favors. We wouldn't have it any other way, though.
And lest I forget, it's Sparky's Birthday!!! Happy 24th Grizz!
Go Sabres! Let's make it happen, boys. I can't take your tears, so I'd better not see any. Although, if you're crying, I'll be crying, and then I wouldn't see anything, buy you know what I mean.
When Buffalo scored less then a minute in the game I got nervous because usually that translates into a quick goal for the other team. However, when we ended the first period still up by a goal my spirits were temporarily lifted, then when Kotalik scored making it 2-0 I was flying high. But my dreams of conquest slowly started to dissipate and the cartoon cloud of doom started to hover when Pittsburgh scored twice tying the score at 2. But Sparky Clarky who has been on fire lately scored on the power play allowing the Sabres to pull ahead 3-2 at the end of the second. Why do you build me up Buffalo Sabres just to let me down? Then everyone knows what happens next Pittsburgh scores sending the game into overtime, which against Pittsburgh usually never bodes well for us, and Squidney gets the game winner with a VERY questionable goal. I still say that the stick was higher then the crossbar as did all the other Sabres' fans left in the arena who still had hope that the goal would be disallowed. But once again we were all disappointed which to Buffalo is really nothing new I swear we're getting battered wife syndrome, they keep beating us down yet we keep coming back for more. Go figure.
And how about Petey's 'fight'? Or as I like to call it Bromance on Ice because they were literally hugging each other for a good half a minute before the first punch was thrown which got them both 5 minute majors for fighting. How about 2 minutes for unnecessary hugging? I think that would have been a much more appropriatepenalty. Sorry I'm just a little bitter. Okay, well that was a huge understatement a lot bitter but that's besides the point. Once again Happy Birthday to the best PIC ever and I guess it's better luck next time we go to a game together which is Saturday actually. Until then Happy Holidays everyone.
So Saturday night was pretty much awesome.. That is, until about 2 am, at which point Lucas and Jay decided to argue about which anatomical area on the male body fosters more bacteria: The groin, or the hands. And then they were arguing about when they should wash their hands–before or after they use the bathroom. WAY TO KILL A FABULOUS MOOD. They pretty much ruined the party. Oh well.
And then, I was planning on driving home, but since, in that particular area of Amherst we were in, you couldn't see out the front window of their house, I spent the night at Britt's, since she lives two minutes from there, and myself 15.
So yesterday morning, I found myself comfy in B's bed, trying to post from my phone. Alas, since Verizon has what I am sure is the worst mobile internet around, I had written my entire post, and THEN IT WOULDN'T LET ME. And I was too frustrated and tired and hung-over to write it again once I had come home.
But anyways, it mostly consisted of something like this (I'm going purely from memory, here, kids. Bear with me.):
See, now, I'm think I'm an extremely devoted person, when I want to be. So when I take the time to be devoted to a flailing hockey team, YOU TAKE IT.
I almost abandoned you, though. See, my 16-year-old cousin Trevor plays hockey for his high school. I almost took up cheering for his team full time instead of you, Sabres. Because his team is actually good. And he's my cousin, so I have to like his hockey team. But Sabres? You're making me want to like his team.
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
But I'm glad you won. And I'm glad Derek scored. We're broken up until further notice. But just so you know, D, I want you back.
Just to prove that we do, in fact, belong together: At the party we were playing Fuck the Dealer. Now, the first deck of cards that Tom grabbed from somewhere in the house was a deck Luke had received when he went to Aces and Blades a couple years ago. I had never played this game before, so when my turn came around, I had no strategy, or anything. I just picked a number–8–and who was on that card, a winning card, mind you? DEREK ROY. FATE-TASTIC, FOR REALS.
But anyways, I don't really have much to say in the way of hockey. Nothing's really happened.
Oh… Wait. My Pirates.
So I'm sad that Marky Mark's stay in Buffalo has ended. Lindy really didn't utilize him correctly, but whatever. Moving on. GERBE DERBY!!! AHHHHHHHH. Enough said.
And my poor Mikey Funk… Remember how he had a concussion during camp, that he suffered on, like, the first day? Yeah, well when Kim and I were up in Portland for a game, it just so happened to be my love's first game back from the head injury. So Saturday night, who gets absolutely obliterated from behind into the boards? MIKE FUNK. Who has another concussion as a result? MIKE FUNK.
I swear to God, if he becomes the next Tim Connolly/Brett Lindros/Pat LaFontaine in regards to bruised brains, I'LL SERIOUSLY CRY, because I love him.
Okay then. Now that I got that out of my system… I baked cookies last night for a friend, and then I made some special ones for Kim and myself, for our little soiree this evening.
If I could send cookies (the edible kind) through the internet, I'd have a big platter full of them for you all. But, since I can't do that, here's something sweet instead:
BACKGROUND INFO IS NECESSARY, THOUGH. Remember that picture that caused quite a ruckus in these parts recently?? Well, remember how we thought that it was one Clarke MacArthur that was grabbing the junk of one Derek Roy??
Here's a snipet of the picture in question:
Notice the man on the left–supposedly Clarke MacArthur. Notice the writing on D's shirt. Also, notice the man to the right's striped green shirt.
Now take a look at this picture, which I got off of another Facebook account:
The guy in the green Fox track jacket and the green Von Dutch hat would be D's younger brother, Scott. Hmm, that other green shirt looks awfully familiar, doesn't it? And the guy next to Derek–supposedly Sparky–doesn't appear to look like Sparky at all, actually.
So there you have it, folks. Derek's sexuality status is still in limbo, but as far as I'm concerned, the second coming of the Man-Child is straight, and as innocent as can be.
Cari: Danny, I missed you tonight.
Dan: Yeah, I wish I could've played, but you know how it goes…
Cari: So, why did I see you all sad and lonely up in the press box this evening?
Dan: Well, you know, I got sick somehow. I think Drew might've given me some candy off the floor or something… Adam's always telling me and Clarke not to take stuff from Drew because he's a weirdo. But Drew always has the best candy and stuff, so I didn't think it would be a problem…
Cari: Okay, you're sick… That makes sense, I guess. But why were you all by yourself? How come you weren't sitting with Timmy?
Dan: First of all, I'm not allowed to hang out with Timmy. Adam says he plays Doctor too much, and that I can't play with him if he does. Second of all, I was in Time Out.
Cari: Time Out?!? How come?
Dan: Because I threw up in Nathan's skates…
Cari: So that's why he wasn't playing tonight… But why all alone, though?
Dan: Adam said it was punishment for not throwing up in "that little puke Lucic's" skates. I kinda wish I had after he tried to kill all my friends tonight. I'm going to get him one day for that. And that's a promise. But Pat already told me that Lucic had better watch out if they're ever on the ice at the same time.
Cari: Yeah, I don't care for him much, either, especially after he went after Princess D.
Dan: Yeah. Oh hey! I like that jersey on you, by the way. I'll tell Derek that you look good in his name. Hey, and maybe that's why he played so well tonight!!
Cari: Danny, my friend, I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK. And also, tell him that I honestly believe in my heart that he should have had four goals tonight, the last coming on a penalty shot? Thanks much.
Dan: Sure thing.
Cari: And make sure everyone knows that Kim and I, next time we're in Boston, are going to track Milan Lucic down and beat his ass. Because I hate him.
Dan: I know. Hey, I have to go. It's past my bedtime.
Cari: Okay, Danny. I'll talk to you later. Good night, precious.
So, beyond that, I'm soooooo incredibly happy about tonight's game. But here are the things I'm thankful for:
– The guy behind us at the game tonight who said "I want to call up Gerbe just to see if he could skate through Chara's legs."
– The group of four 11-year-old boys who told a Bruins fan that they'd "never seen a girl look hotter in a Boston jersey."
– The fact that no Sabres died in the making of this victory.
– Derek Roy's inability to stop finding ways to make me love him, and make fun of him, all at the same time.
– Paul Gaustad and Ryan Miller's inability to stop raising my expectations of men.
– Thomas Vanek's ability to continuously light the lamp.
– Patrick Kaleta, Andrew Peters, and Adam Mair's willingness to beat the crap out of people and sacrifice their bodies for the sake of the game.
– Tim Connolly's strength of character, combined with his entertaining sex-capades.
– Drew Stafford's Facebook pictures.
– Henrik Tallinder's dancing.
– Jaroslav Spacek's interviews.
– Nathan Paetsch's smile.
– Mark Mancari's voice.
– Daniel Paille's inability to take a normal-looking picture.
– Patrick Lalime's adoration of his daughters.
– Craig Rivet's adoration of Buffalo.
– Jason Pominville's loyalty to The (dreaded) System.
– Maxim Afinogenov's best game in a long time.
– Jochen Hecht's shortie, as well as the look on his face when he heard me say "I love you."
– Ales Kotalik's admission that he designed a line of hats.
– Clarke MacArthur's curly hair.
– Toni Lydman's choice in women.
– Teppo Numminen's picture from 1985.
– Andrej Sekera's polo player sweater.
– Lindy Ruff's ability to inspire these guys, year after year, after year.
– All of the Sabres Bloggers, because they're all foxy and incredibly intelligent, and probably some of the funniest writers I've ever come across.
– The city of Buffalo for being amazing.
– My cat Delilah for being the cutest fat cat around.
– And, lastly, my beautifully sexy friends, especially my dear Kimberly, as well as my mostly awesome family. Without them, I'd be completely lost in life.
So, everyone, have a beautiful holiday with your respective loved ones, and Kim and I will resume posting on Friday. I'm sure I forgot stuff about the game tonight, and I'm equally as sure Kim will let me know about it. So those things will make it up here eventually. But, until then, be safe, eat turkey, and love those Sabres!!
The Sabres need to learn how to do it, so they should take a lesson from me.
(1) As I'm sure you've noticed, I got bored with our layout/template/thing, so I freshened it up. And can I please tell you how obnoxious it is to mess around with Blogger's templates? They're all kinda ugly, or already being used, and since I like to be all cutesy with my stuff, and I don't like to copy people, I get really annoyed when you're only given a handful of options. Whatever, though.
(2) MARK MANCARI SCORED HIS FIRST NHL GOAL LAST NIGHT!!!!! I was soooo proud. We (the nurse I work with and myself) were watching the game at work, and she was laughing her ass off when he scored because I was awing, and saying "Aw, Mark, I love you! I'm so proud of you!" She said I looked like a doting mother watching her only daughter get married. BEST ANALOGY EVER.
(3) Derek scored again, finally. And he couldn't have done it at a better time, as far as I'm concerned, because, while I was driving to work yesterday, a guy from the Sabres Store called me, and left a message saying that my NEW THIRD JERSEY CAN BE PICKED UP ON WEDNESDAY. YAYYYYYY!! So now I take back saying that I wasn't too sure if I wanted his jersey anymore, because Princess D is starting to play better.
(4) When D scored yesterday, Kim texted me and said "he doesn't skinny dip, he chunky dunks." This is why I love her.
(5) Awesome reader Katie told me that she saw D eating spaghetti at Chef's yesterday, and that he eats like a pig. Now, I don't know about you, but I tend to view all the Sabres as perfect people, kinda like every girl's expectations of Mr. Right. So I never expect any one of them to shovel pasta into their mouth and let the mozzarella cheese that was melted all over it to stick to the plate as they chew a mouthful. So, Katie, as fantastic as that was, I'm going to forget you ever told me that, and go on living in my blissful, delusional world. No offense though. I still love you.
(6) I decided that I'm not going to comment on actual game-play until the Sabres start winning again.
(7) If the playoffs were to start today, we'd be out. That's depressing, considering the start we had.
(8) I totally called Timmy C's injury–BROKEN RIB. Called it. And I'm not one to say I told you so… Actually, who the hell am I kidding. I TOLD YOU SO!! =]
(9) I never commented on Paul's fish story. A-FREAKING-DORABLE. I hate worms too, but that's mostly because when I was little, my friend Kevin used to (AND I'M NOT KIDDING YOU. I SWEAR.) squirt chocolate syrup on them and eat them like spaghetti. At least Derek doesn't do that… But I don't like fish, either. My friend Kristle's dad used to fish all the time and he'd gut them in the backyard while we were laying out in the sun. Gross.
I leave you with my last comment of this Sunday, as I'm currently watching the Bills, leading the Chiefs. *crossing fingers* …maybe??
(10) My dad made these up last night and sent them to me; they're absolutely hilarious, and you really should take the time to watch them all: Dance 1, Dance 2, Dance 3, Dance 4
I think Paul took my flapper idea too far… Though, the balloons are a nice touch.
Pat looks like he's trying to be… Well, I don't know exactly.
Clarke is going as the winner of Pretty, Pretty Princess.
Mark's friend makes a nice, cute fairy princess, and Mark is Pippy Longstockings.
Stefan is a very sexy hula dancer. The hair is incredible.
Nathan wears that headdress nicely.
Jason's dressed as a very flamboyant member of Buffalo's Fire Department.
I do like Vanek's, um, stance as he impersonates Lance Armstrong, and Paul's exposure of his legs as John McEnroe. Very nice, boys… Very nice.
And really, if you haven't read MJ's post yet like I told you do, do it now. You won't regret it.
Happy Halloween!!
Okay, so I'm full of mixed emotions today. SO EXCITED BECAUSE WE COULD FINISH THE PRESEASON ABOVE .500!!! But totally bummed because Channel 4 has been replaced with CBS College Sports and The CW is MIA. On that subject, tonight I'm going to be missing the season premier of a show that I sometimes watch (because for some odd reason math intrigues me), Numb3rs, and that also means Sunday afternoon I'll be missing the first 45 minutes of the Bills game, and I'll be sad, because I love the Bills. And on Monday, I'll be without my teenage angst-driven dramas, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill; Tuesday evening I'll be missing my dear Anthony DiNozzo on NCIS. Guys, I'm really upset about this. Like… well, not nearly as upset as I am when the Sabres lose, but close enough.

Pineapple Rum Mimosas
"Diced pineapples...talking diamonds by the jar, She never wrote a song, but I know that she's a star."
- "Diced Pineapples" Rick Ross feat. Drake & Wale (2012)
Hey Neighbors!
Everyone and their mamas finally caught on that the best part of the weekend is BRUNCH! It's perfectly acceptable to turn up before noon and there's bacon! However, I'm so over the typical orange juice-based mimosas and decided to remix it for a tropical feel.
Yum! Feast your eyes on my Pineapple Rum Mimosa! This is super simple and involves my favorite ingredient: Sparkling Wine! Let's get started!
- Dark Rum (I used Malibu Black)
- Pineapple Juice
- Prosecco
- A Jigger
- Some sliced pineapple and other fruit if you want for garnish
This recipe is super simple. First, pour one ounce of rum in your glass. Then, add two ounces of pineapple juice and fill the rest of the glass with Prosecco.
Next, just garnish with fruit and your finished!
Lessons Learned:
- If you want your cocktail stronger, just add an extra ounce of rum
- Be sure to chill your rum, sparkling wine and juice beforehand, so that your cocktail is cold
- This is a good cocktail to make in front of your guests, so you don't lose the fizz from the sparkling wine

I finished the fence line west of the south entrance on the north tract and had enough energy to harvest enough elements from the debris to make a small holiday wreath. As I wrote earlier, there is very little color now in the scrub. It's green, brown, white and blue, if you include the sky.
Many of the Chapman oaks are shedding leaves and a lot of brown leaves are on the trees. No other plants are doing this. I hope this is only drought-related and not related to any oak declines I've heard about. I'll know by spring.

Winter defloration
I can tell winter is approaching. The formerly brilliant hues of the Garberia, Liatris, Baulduinia and Carphephorus are now brown wisps of seedheads waiting to be carried by the wind, a bird or an insect to fertile or infertile, sunlit or sunless ground on a chance of regeneration when warm weather and rain return, whenever that is. The way things are going the former will occur before the latter.

Orchids in bloom
The Habenaria floribunda are beginning to pop up and bloomin the bayhead. I took some photos theother day. I will post them later. I counted the plants I could find and noticed there were 10.
This is the second orchid species I've found here. I don't expect top find more. The other is the upland species Pteroglossapsis escritata.

Bureaucracy and the land-use map
Gary Morse at FWC today told me Division of State Lands has to initiate any growth map amendment action since the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund, not FWC actually own Lake Blue. That's fine with me as long as someone gives the matter some attention.

Another clear fence line
Over the weekend I finished the fence line south of the main entrance. I found a lot of trash in the right of way I'll have to come back for in a future Great American Cleanup. I also made some progress in the southwest corner where the bayhead and the orchids are. I need to go in and verify which Habeneria species lives there. I found another plant, too.

Episode 12: Claire Cheney of Curio Spice Co.
This week's episode is with Claire Cheney, owner and master spice blender at Curio Spice Co. in Cambridge, Ma. Claire's shop recently opened in my new(ish) neighborhood and when I went in to check it out, I knew it was a perfect space for Keeping Shop. I somewhat awkwardly approached her (ummm do you want to be my podcast friend?) and was thrilled when she agreed to speak with me on the show.
Claire has such an interesting path to brick and mortar business ownership. Whilst working at a local coffee shop, she learned that she had a talent for picking out and separating the individual scent and taste components in coffees. Then she fell in love with saffron and traveled to Greece to find, and eventually to work at, a fabled saffron village. After more travel and more spice experiments, Claire started blending in a shared kitchen and marketing her blends to local businesses. Late last year, Claire opened her own brick and mortar storefront; a gorgeous retail space in the front with ample blending space in the back.
Claire and I chat about registering her business as a benefit corporation, growing her space in an up-and-coming area and why waiting for "the one" when hiring a contractor is the way to go. She shares her favorite spice with us as well as a way to use it that's amateur-cook friendly. Claire offers her best business advice (hint: you can't be the best at everything) and shares her plans for growing Curio in 2017.
I loved learning about Claire and her journey to opening her brick and mortar. Check out more info about Curio and follow Claire's beautiful insta account via the links below. There's more info about benefit corporations there too. Enjoy the show and thank you so very for listening.
Curio Spice Co. is located at 2265 Mass Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02140

Facebook: @curiospice
Benefit Corp Info:
If anyone has any questions about brick and mortar business ownership, feel free to reach out to me. It's my hope that Keeping Shop is being used as a resource for small business owners and I'd love to help in any way that I can. Email or contact via Facebook (@keepingshoppodcast) or Instagram (@lovekeepingshop).

People are way too negative about celebrities doing adverts.
Take Jessica Alba's recent Calamari calendar, for example. Sure, it's a bit gauche – but it does mean that we've got 12 new pictures of Jessica Alba to gawp at , which can't be a bad thing.
But of all the celebrity sell-outs, Japanese adverts get the worst press.
You know, the ones that your favourite actors assumed would never travel outside of Kyoto, because they were too drunk on free Saki to remember the word 'YouTube.'
Well, we're here to say they shouldn't be ashamed. The following adverts are brilliant and they all beat Hollywood at their own game.
Angelina Jolie
Brand Awareness: The director seems to understand that, with Angelina, all you have to do is point a camera at her and the product will sell itself. Trust us, these things get far more lunatic from here on in.
How it triumphs: It allows Angelina more dignity in 15 seconds than Tomb Raider managed in two films.
Brad Pitt
Brand Awareness : We're not sure how on-brand this one is, actually. One of the biggest icons of the modern age, pushing a photocopier down some stairs. Maybe they saw Fight Club?
How it triumphs: Darren Aronofksy couldn't talk Brad into being in The Fountain; the Roots Coffee folk convinced him to sign-off on that ridiculous 'gulp' sound effect with relative ease.
Kiefer Sutherland
Brand Awareness : With Kiefer, you've got a choice. Either Sellotape a mullet to the back of his neck and superglue some fangs to his incisors, or convince him to bark angry orders into a walkie talkie. Thankfully, they went for the latter.
How it triumphs : We're not sure why, but we believe the sight of Keifer running through a train full of Japanese school girls barking "Yes!" "No!" more than we did when he delivered any of his dialogue in Mirrors.
Cameron Diaz
Brand Awareness: It takes a while, but eventually, the focus of this ad is entirely on Diaz's arse. Much like the Charlie's Angels films, then.
How it triumphs: This is pretty much Diaz's most charming performance since The Mask. Possibly because you can't hear her talking in it (despite the fact it's an advert for a cell phone).
Nicolas Cage
Brand Awareness: It's completely bonkers. Spot on.
How it triumphs: It's Nic Cage singing the words: "My favourite things! My favourite things! Blue jeans, seeing a red haired girl! Sweet peanut butter, a salt berry candle! A cup of tea and a good book, dancing with a raindeer! And also Panchinko Sankyo!"
We'd rather watch that than 'Next' any day of the week.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Brand Awareness: Someone saw Batman & Robin. Someone thought it wasn't quite camp enough.
How it triumphs: Honestly? This is funnier than 90% of the comedies released by Hollywood this year. If you don't crack a grin at Arnie's manic laughter (which starts at the 19 second mark and goes on for around 10 seconds more) then we're going to have to set a Predator on you. Sorry about that.
Ben Stiller
Brand Awareness: This one reminds us of the fake ads in Zoolander, but, you know, real. Clever.
How it triumphs: Stiller's snubbed his nose at foreign cinema so far in his film career, but for a boatload of Yen, he's prepared to learn Japanese, no problem. In your face, Hollywood.
