Well said A-M. Go, be happy and live well. Some people really need to get a life.ReplyDelete
Obviously jealousy is a horrible curse. I am wondering that given you have their IP address could they possibly be 'charged' with anything such as harassment?ReplyDelete
People forget that everything is traceable including where they have logged in from. Best of luck AM xx Deb
Well said A-M. Go, be happy and live well. So many of us love following your blog and then there are the others......ReplyDelete
others who need to get a life.
I do wonder if there isn't a way to stop her through Google or other means. Never used Twitter, but can you block people from seeing your tweets. I'd be tempted to find an IP specialist and find out who she really is.ReplyDelete
I've said before, I like that you don;t dish the goods on here. Privacy=respect. Carry on AM as you are.
Strength to you A-M XXReplyDelete
Oh my goodness. Some people....ReplyDelete
When my daughter was very sick in her first year of her life I had someone comment that I was making it all up to get attention....if only.
Hold your head high, you are obviously envied.
Evil blog commenter/s...time to move on.
AM - I would take this another step actually. If you have their ip addy, it's easy to find out who their Internet provider is via ip tracer (you have probably already done that!) and I would make a formal complaint to Optus/Bigpond or whichever one it is. Even if nothing comes of it now, it starts a paper trail.....ReplyDelete
And for now live well, it's the best revenge ;)
Well done A_MReplyDelete
How I feel for you! This person has to move on...if only she realised that there's nothing to gain from doing this. I hope she takes your advice and focuses on something far more important than someone else's blog.xxReplyDelete
Oh my goodness how awful for you! Great dignified response A-M xxReplyDelete
I seriously don't know how she (or could it be a he) keeps up with all the fake accounts? I'd be forgetting passwords, user names, login details, etc if I had so many fake id's floating around. Maybe you can hope that she eventually trips herself up & reveals her real name?ReplyDelete
Wow! Some people truly have nothing better to do. You go and build YOUR house the way YOU want A-M and enjoy it with your two boys. I will be reading along from the other side of the world, and with me many more people who love what you do with your blog. Continue to smile!ReplyDelete

Good on you A-M! She sounds like an absolute monster!ReplyDelete
Obviously someone has too much time on her hands and not enough "life" and love to keep her occupied.ReplyDelete
You are all class A-M. As a former conservation historian I know you will build a great home totally in keeping with the character of the place. Does this person even live in Brisbane? She obviously has no idea on local architecture - so very different to the rest of Australia.ReplyDelete
Enjoy the day!
Good on you A-M, well said!ReplyDelete
Two things.ReplyDelete
#1 Ignore her.
#2 Try to report her to "someone".
Keep believing that she is "more to be pitied than censured" but it is tough to have such negativity in your life.
We are with you A-M!!
I'm sorry this is happening to you. It's very intimidating and scary and I hope it stops soon. I really do. Look after yourself and your lovely family. I'm looking forward to seeing the house planning process - I know it will be fabulous! Annie x.ReplyDelete
A-M the woman sounds like a complete twit with a strong case of envy. 'Noosa Beach House' is correct in what she says. Also remember that slander and libel are crimes and police action can be taken if you wish. We may take the Cap Cod houses from the US but we do not have their free speech laws.ReplyDelete
Yep ignoring her is the best way to go, bully's love a reaction. I for one am looking forward to the house you build, I am sure it will be both stylish & beautiful just like your last one.ReplyDelete
what a nutter!!! she seems totally unhinged and has far too much time on her hands.ReplyDelete
good on you darl, stand up to this nonsense. My first instinct was to follow the ip path and really put a stop to this once and for all, but that wont stop someone as unhinged as this person, it would just be part of the game to keep trying to get at you.
hard as it may be, the ignore path is usually the best. dont give them the satisfaction and they will soon leave you alone. I know from experience. And it demostrates just how strong you are.
How terrible A-M....what a sad life she must have to carry so much venom...what a waste. Loving everything you do. XReplyDelete
Hi A-M, gosh this made me feel a little sad. I just wanted to offer my support and say that your blog brings a little sunshine into my mornings. You are so generous with what you share and it is truly awful that you have to suffer bullying because of it. It does not make sense...which probably goes to prove that this person is not of a sound mind. (Well I hope that is their excuse) I just don't get nastiness :(ReplyDelete
Dear A-MReplyDelete
I feel for you. What this person is doing is just so mean and if she is a Mother, what sort of parenting example is this setting???
I have had my fair slew of spiteful anaon hate comments and they really are sickening - just ignore this person and please do not stop blogging.
Stay strong x
A-M, I was sent an email last night about 15 things you should give up to be happy. I am pleased that I am working hard at many of the things on the list everyday and it is really liberating. One that this 'stalker' should perhaps take note of is "Give up the luxury of criticism. Give up your need to criticize things, events or people that are different than you. We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood." I love your blog A-M and I can't wait to see you tranform your block into the most beautiful home for you and your boys.ReplyDelete
Oh this just makes me cry and vomit at the same time. This woman is so horrid, and yet hides behind such a high and mighty facade. Ick. Go forth and be awesome, A-M, and don't let her see the pain that her rubbish causes. M xxReplyDelete
Defamation is almost impossible to prove! No worries about that. Say whatever you want about your own experiences. My guess, she will lay low for a while. She is obviously a sad person...let's pity her lack of self worth.ReplyDelete
it takes all kinds of creeps don't itReplyDelete
'Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less'.ReplyDelete

Full steam ahead A-Me, you have a house to build and many friends and supporters willing you on.
Disturbing behavior to say the least. I hate that you are a target.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see your next creation - I would love to live in a home you design. You have such a gift for all things beautiful.
Hi A-M first time posting but follow your posts regulary, couldnt let this one slip though.ReplyDelete
Facebook has a huge troll community, i have experienced this before, with my own business, and yes your reply will feed their need to get under our skin in order to have an emotional response. Why these people feel the need to behave this way, well one can only assume, that these people are damaged goods, not worthy of time from people in their real life because of the way they behave(i mean what person who behaves like this would have anyone around them, how disappointed would you be if you found out this person was in your friendship circle?), so they look to create hurt in an online unreal world
But the fact of the matter is, this is your life, your choice, you choose how you live it, how your happy , how you treat people, go build your Mcmansion and revel in it when your christening your toilet, think of Karen Rogers, because at the end of the day, when the trend of trolling has past, you won't be living with regret in your heart only love and light, you will grow old with 2 loving sons by your side, and a sense of accomplishment, knowing you went for it, and didn't hurt anyone along the way, which is something that cant be said for Karen Rogers, who hides behind mindless posts about topics that have nothing to do with them and their REAL life, cause logically, if there is something online you don't like, or don't agree on, heres a tip close the page.
No. No. No. That's what I thought as I read each word of your post. What that person is putting you through is just unreal. I am so sorry to hear of your enduring this utter garbage. At this point, if I were you, I'd be battling myself between legal action & letting it go - to dissipate into her wicked ether. I'm sending you my continuing best wishes & positive support from the opposite side of the globe - which good wishes the troll can never achieve.ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness! I have obviously been living under a rock. I can't believe that there are people out there who would be so nasty. What on earth is so wrong and sad in their lives that they have to spend time writing such drivel. I love reading your blog and look forward to it appearing in my inbox each day. Keep your head up and refuse to be intimidated by low lifes like her (and any others).ReplyDelete
OMG! Doesn't she ever give up. What's wrong with that person? Obviously has not got a life (hanging at the computer creating all these accounts and fake id's would take some time).ReplyDelete
I agree with some of the other ladies that these incidents should be reported to someone/somewhere just for the record.
Now go on and build your lovely house, I can't wait to see it come together.
All the best!
Anette :-)
This bully needs to go back to the rock they crawled out from under and leave people to run their own race. I agree A-M that you should waste no further of your precious time on them (though I know how hard it is to sit back idly while someone hurts you and yours). Also, shame on them for bringing your family into it. I am a firm believer in Karma (having seen it in action many times) and would not want to be standing near this low-life in a thunderstorm...ReplyDelete
I just wrote this to your friend whom you mention at the end of your post.ReplyDelete
I know of one person who had this sort of comment. It was totally shocking to me. Brooke Giannetti of "Velvet and Linen". She was scared for her family.
I don't know if Brooke used it , or not, but there seems to be a company who stops this sort of thing , somehow!
I have no ties to it; and blessedly, have not had to use it......but you might try. This is terrorism.
Reputation.com. Just look into it. I am so shocked.
However, it is scary. And what pathetic people would do such a thing.
I love your blog. I am so sorry this is happening!
I am not one to comment on blogs, even though I do follow yours daily with my morning coffee.ReplyDelete
This person obviously has no joy in her own life, she obviously leads a sad and sorry existence, and she is obviously very jealous of you, your beautiful children and your impeccable taste.
Rise above and don't let her pathetic words bring you down.
I am dying to follow your new house build journey, in whatever style you choose.
Hi AM, I love Hamptons Style and we are obviously not alone, look at the number of followers to your blog...it is completely appropriate to Australian style homes, not just in Brisbane. I am renovating my Edwardian weatherboard home in Surrey Hills, Melbourne and look to you as my main inspiration! I will be in touch soon to order some of your light fittings. Love your work, WendyReplyDelete
I agree with some of the other commentors - I think you can get blogger to make her cease and desist. I hate bullies. That is just horrid. Best wishes to you and hopefully evil will find a large dark hole and leave you alone!!ReplyDelete
Dearest A-M, you are Fabulous with a capital F!ReplyDelete
XX Rachael
A-M everyone has said everything so all that is left for me is that I am here, I a following, I am enjoying, I will stay here, I will continue to follow and I will always love what you write. All my support at all times love Jules xxxxReplyDelete
Touche! A-M!ReplyDelete
xxxxx KL
How sad and pathetic this person must be :(ReplyDelete
I hope he/she gets the help they need...
A-M jealous people feel the need to betray and hurt others. You are doing a great job and it is your honesty and the person you are that this person does not like. Keep doing what you do and keep dreaming. xxReplyDelete
Hi A-M - first time comment today, but I have followed your blog for ages. I really can't wait for your new house and think Hampton's style has a lot of the old gabled Queenslander in it - verandahs, gables etc. I would never have called this style bogan as there is not a rendered brick or overdone entrance about it. Go for it, I for one will be following this house and cheering you on (and copying everything you do, as always from up in North Qld)ReplyDelete
I wonder if this "person" thinks that, by writing this, you'll change your style and house plans? Like I've said before: sad, sad, sad. And what made me laugh even more at this venom was the bad grammar and incorrect punctuation! Oh...and the bogan comment! It's hard not to be nasty right back but I'm moving on too.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see what delicious plans you cook up and also to pick up many tips and lots of advice as you progress with your journey for my own renovations. I'm relying on you!!!! Keep blogging, lovely lady; you have so much support. xx
A-M. Please focus on the 100's and 1000's of blog followers who love reading your blog every day and look forward to hearing all about your new building venture. Not one sad individual. Take care.ReplyDelete
You know, the beauty of the internet, is that everything is available, but also able to be avoided if you choose. That's how you know she is crazy.... she could just not read and follow your stuff if it annoys her so much. No one is forcing her to consume your blog or tweets.ReplyDelete
Take comfort in the fact that we all love your humour and stories and follow your developments with a smile. I hope this is resolved soon for you, and you can keep up your positive outlook on life through it all, A-M.
hmmmmmm wonder what her bloggy is? lololol
Lisa x
Hi A-M, I'm a regular visitor to your lovely blog but it's my first time commenting. I'm so sorry this has happened to you, but she's wrong. Your house, your choice. Your life, your choices. And for the record, I think it's going to be beautiful.ReplyDelete
Dear AM clearly this person has significant pychopathology but its not a good enough excuse IMO.ReplyDelete
Lets hope at some point they will get the help they need.
Keep on keeping on and don't let someone like this get you down for more than a second!
Kate Bx
Nothing stronger in action than taking the higher road and you are doing just that.ReplyDelete
I just don't get it, I really don't!..
Can I swear? Because I have some awesome words to use here! %67* $)^%$ %$#^*( &^%$#. Yeah, that's right! You nasty nasty bully. Karma baby!ReplyDelete
Love ya! Xox
Good on you AM, great response! We all love you, your blog, the houses you build and your gorgeous boys xxReplyDelete
Oh A-M, she obviously lacks your dignity and class. Just pity her, for her life is obviously lacking love in important ways.ReplyDelete
Keep your head high and blog on; we are all anxiously following you in your new house journey. ((hugs))
I experienced the same last year and I felt so afraid for my family I just stopped blogging and facebooking. Still not keen to go back on the social networks. Good on you A-M, I love your blog and your honesty.ReplyDelete
I love your pics of the gorgeous homes you have featured, ignore what that idiot thinks, you obviously have fabulous style, go girl!ReplyDelete
What a sicko!ReplyDelete
Take heart A-M from all the sincere and caring comments from decent human beings who think you are a beautiful and very talented person with such lovely decorating and lifestyle ideas, that we love to follow you each day. Most of us are watching with fascination to see the magnificent home you will design this time, and we love to share in the special moments with your boys.
Typical that you answered this horror with such dignity. Please dont let them put you off the lovely things you do in your life and all the many you touch with your fabulous blog!
I truly cant believe that people think it is okay to do things like this!! This person needs their head read!! lolReplyDelete
If your houses are bogan A-M then dip me in flanalette and put on my ugg boots, cause Im as bogan as you are!! I love the Hamptons look!!!
Chin up A-M xxxxx
OMG...who are these people?? Just read your blog then clicked on the link you provided and read "Gluten Free Girl"!!! As I said - who are these people and where do they come from??!!?? Half of me feels really angry but the other half just wants to laugh a little bit because it's just so,so ...searching for words....ReplyDelete
unbelievably unbelievable! A-M (or anyone else who has to deal with this), just roll eyes, shake head, ignore and delete. xx
This is shocking! She is a true bully; how must she have been at highschool?ReplyDelete
Just know that all of the other people who visit your blog adore you and your ideas, and our positive vibes are intended to overwhelmingly cancel out any of her pathetic little, quivering negative vibes. Hear us roar! xx
Maybe when you do a number 2 you could say 'I'm off to do a Rogers'. Hope I made you laugh. You have been given some great advice and a mass of support. Show of hands everyone, yep, AM is the clear winner. You shine AM!ReplyDelete
Look at all these positive lovely comments from you online friends and blog followers. You are truly blessed A-M. Hold that thought.ReplyDelete
Hahaha I laughed Just Martha!ReplyDelete
I am truly blessed. Thank you. A-M xxReplyDelete
There is one thing that really gets my goat and it's these people who can't be happy for others, they have to bring everyone down to their level of unhappiness! Get A Life!ReplyDelete
I really wish we could all expose this fraudster for who she really is!! It will come back to bite her and hopefully soon!
More power to you A-M, unlike your bully. You have a real blog, about real life, with real photos, real stories, and as the countless comments on this post alone reveal, real support.
Onwards and upwards, I look forward to following your journey of your next building project, whether it's a McMansion or not, I don't care, I just love what you produce, beautiful, quality houses that many, many people love and admire! Just like you.
xxx Jode
AM I'm shocked to read your story and the story of the lovely lady that you linked to. I can't understand how or why people can be so horrible, hidden behind their computers. I work with children who are bullied and fortunately I haven't yet encountered cyber bullying (most of my students are in primary school), however, I know that it's something that will come up. Hearing your experience at least gives me some insight about the kinds of things that can happen. I did wonder though if you could go to the Police. If this person is pretending to be you, perhaps they could be pursued on identity theft?ReplyDelete
Why do people do such nasty things to others?ReplyDelete
This bully is pathetic if they feel they need to do something so low.
I'm blown away to think someone could be so mean.
Chin up
Two words .... oxygen thief!ReplyDelete
Ok - I am a words girl so can't stop at just two. She is one v unhappy camper isn't she? Twisted as willow. The energy she puts into being a bully is plain sad - not a greta role model for her kids. Here's hoping she digs a hole like the wombat who took up residence here this weekend - and got alive in it - and takes some time to have a good hard look at herself. She needs help. Of the professional kind. Plain and simple.
What a nut job!ReplyDelete
What you choose to share on your blog is up to you and is your business only. We know that her and her rantings are crazy.
If only she put as much effort into being a decent person as she does into creating fake ids.
TDM xx
Haters gonna hate.ReplyDelete
Keep on bringing beauty and love to the world.
Wow, she got the 'itch' part of her fake ID correct, she just forgot the capital 'B' in the front!ReplyDelete
I cannot for the life of me understand what motivates these people that feed on this sort of negativity, they are definitely bottom dwellers in the ocean of life :)
I wish I could be one of those compassionate people that understands that these misery makers need help, that their mother didn't love them or whatever their excuse is for behaving so badly ...but I am not! I have zero tolerance for cowardly people who spread their poison to others in a twisted attempt to feel better about themselves.
Whatever life throws at you, you deal with it and so many people have truimphed over incredible hardships to become decent , even remarkable people.
I do believe in karma though...and karma can be a bitch too...
I had a long and wise comment to put here but managed to delete it, so keep your chin up and know that the rest of us love you.ReplyDelete
Attention seekers with too much time on their hands arn't worth worrying about, and frankly I feel sorry for people who have nothing better to do than put other people down.
Oh A-M,ReplyDelete
I am shocked! This is truly something that I didn't even think could exist on such a beautiful blog.
I love reading your posts and am really looking forward to your new project. Please (!) don't stop blogging! Getting your email each day is exciting to see what little treat you have found for our eyes! I love your style, and use it for inspiration, when thinking up ways to change my house around :)
I know it was mentioned earlier, and I agree, this "person" needs professional help, yet the biggest problem with this is that they may not even be aware that they have a problem. Lack of insight with mental illness is a terribly sad thing and can be horribly destructive.
Keep your chin up!
Good on you A-M!! That's why we love you baby. So strong.ReplyDelete
As for pitying this individual, I know it is an illness, much like an addiction they can't let go, but it is still a choice. Step away from the keyboard!!!
Well that's just crazy. A-M I just love your blog.ReplyDelete
I'm a 27yo Brissie girl now in Darwin, former clarinet/oboe/sax player, working as an interior designer with a 5yo son.
I love to be reminded of home when I am reading your blog and find you truly inspiring in the way you deal with daily life, raise your boys, not to mention the beautiful images you post and you've encouraged me to get my instruments out and PLAY THEM! I've even contacted the local orchestra, because of you!
For the most part blogging is such a positive, friendly and supportive community and it's sad you have written today's post. Like others have suggested, I highly doubt your bully will stop any time soon but gosh you are a brilliant woman, chin up and keep at it!
A-M, it's very obvious what this troll's problem is: she wants to be YOU!ReplyDelete
Rot in hell troll, you will never be a patch on A-M, not in this or your next lifetime! She has more class and integrity than you could ever hope to possess in your little finger.
Who's the BOGAN?!!!!!!
Love you A-M, you rock. xox
AM, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blogs and the designs you show. Apart from being shocked I did have a giggle at the words she uses, the house designs you showcase are gorgeous, we are lucky we can be diverse in Australia with design. Keep doing what you do please, it's almost like you are exact opposite of all she said! I hope one day you will laugh at how ridiculus she sounds, I'd call her 'bogan' and 'common'. She's just jealous, no other reason she would say horrid things, feel proud of all you achieve xReplyDelete
Well said to all of the above!! Shame on Karen Rogers, shame, shame, shame!! You are loved A-M, you are truly loved. Karen Rogers, clearly isn't!! I know who I'd rather be! Stay strong, stay proud, and stay true to you, because you are awesome!! xxReplyDelete
A-M I have never commented before but I have been reading your fabulous blog for a long time - I love the joy you find in your family, I love your way of writing, I love your design ideas,I love your joy for life, I love the way you help others, I love the way you have kept a dignified and respectful silence about your marriage and I love your courage. You clearly rock!however the bully clearly does not!! Stay strong. With love, ValReplyDelete
AM. I like many people love your blog and enjoy reading it but never comment we just quietly read and enjoy your beautiful pictures. unfortunately there are some sick mental people out in the world but you have remember Karma is on your side.ReplyDelete
I am looking forward to your next house.
I feel for you a-m, you are right it is bullying. But I also feel sorry for whoever is doing this they are obviously very sad and mentally unwell and I hope that they can get some help. I'm glad you have the strength to recognize this and not let their actions stop you from being who you are. Much love Katherine xxxxxReplyDelete
Im sorry you are going through this AM - Bullying, no matter what your age is unacceptable but this might be a good idea to practice what we all preach. Stick and Stones and all that.ReplyDelete
Words can't hurt you unless you let them and obviously if she took the time to actually create different accounts she definately feels some sort of jealousy towards you. Be the bigger person we all know you are and ignore it.
XOX - Miss V
I have to echo the sentiments of the previous commenters and congratulate you on the grace and strength you've shown in the face of this horrible bullying. You are a fabulous example to the rest of us.ReplyDelete
Your bully is a sad little person with a big personality disorder/mental illness unfortunatly.
What an unhappy life they must have!
A-M, I've been following your blog for a few years now and love, love, love it. Looks like this post has got all the previously non-commenters off their butts (& onto their keyboards) - like me. Which shows just how many supporters you have and how much pleasure you are bringing to so many people with your blog. It's obviously a case of jealousy - but it's just so WRONG. Take care of yourself, and be strong.ReplyDelete
Good morning, A-M ( It is morning here in the States). This is my first time posting, but I have been reading your lovely blog for a long time. I just wanted to let you know that there are many of us, friends you know and ones you don't, who are rooting for you. Not just in the case of your bully, but in general. You and your darling family bring smiles to our faces everyday, and we are genuinely rooting for your happiness in everything you do. Very best wishes for the new house and all of your endeavors!ReplyDelete
All I can say is,turn the other cheek.
They need to get there own life, as they seem so very happy to try and be part of yours in what ever way they can.
Very, very, very, sad people.
Blogs to me are like reading a book or watching TV. If you don't like it put down or turn it off you are not being forced to do it.
Very shallow lives.
Your followers are your true voice.
Warm wishes,
This person's behaviour sounds a little unhinged. What seems obvious, just from what you've described, is that they're consumed with jealousy. If it was me, for my own peace of mind I'd get something on file at Blogger (maybe also with the police) to the effect that you have a stalker. The whole attempt at defamation of character scenario certainly warrants reporting. After that? I couldn't agree more with what has already been said: ignore them. It's hard to exist in a vacuum.ReplyDelete
AM,is there any chance you can bring this to the police? I'm not at all versed in Australian law but given all the work the government has done of cyber security, I would hope they also done work on online harassment. I think you should reach out to the police - this person is now harassing others as part of their harassment of you. Stay strong! Ignore the nutter!!!ReplyDelete
I too think you should seek advice as to who you should report this person to. Unhinged is definitely the word for her. To be delving and spreading such vile comments sounds anything but normal to me. Once I would have said to ignore her, but now I think you and other's she's harrassing should take it a step further and have the police find her and warn her against cyber bullying.ReplyDelete
A-M, I finally saw the ruse in its entirety on Twitter this weekend with your stalker. I had to quietly walk away. The guise of friendship with this person is over. You stood up and said your piece so continued happiness and success to your future! Standing with you always....ReplyDelete
XX, Andrea
That's some crazy stuff right there!!! Pure unadulterated nutter!! Well have faith in the knowledge that she's obviously a sad and delusional snow flake A.M xxReplyDelete
Seriously I'm with you A-M all the way, some of the modern houses built here in Brisbane are ugly and already out of date, they lack style and longevity. They are cheaper to build and may be eco friendly, until we knock them down and the materials all go to the dump! classic design is timeless and you more than ever proved that i.e you last sale of your home! follow your passion and your dreams you will do a great job xxReplyDelete
p.s thank you for my blog help xx
Hmm, I adore you. Your creativity, love for your kids, how you try so hard.ReplyDelete
Sorry you're so far from Atlanta, GA. Wish you were around the corner.
Thanks for posting what you did, it took courage.
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
Christ, what a psycho. Sending you much love and strength.ReplyDelete
Dear A-M,ReplyDelete
ordinarily I would say "ignore" - but enough is enough. This is damaging, upsetting, defamatory and hurtful.
It is criminal.
Cyber crime (bullying, stalking) is a serious criminal offence. If you have her IP address - she (I am assuming they are a "she") can be handed over to the Police or authorities. At the very least blocked from having access to Blogger.
Stay strong and stay being your beautiful, brave, joyous self.
I love what you do. Even if I didn't, it is your right!
It has all been said by all of your many, many followers.
You are such an inspiration.
Take care,
Outrageous behaviour - and so sad that she has nothing better to do in her pathetic life than harass you. Feel free to let us know if it helps or keep quiet if that is a better strategy. Onward and upward is a great motto!ReplyDelete
OMG how horrid the bully must be sooo jeleous if only they put all that energy into good, they obviously havent got a brain!!!!ReplyDelete
So glad you are strong A.M and keep on going I love to hear all your news see your creations & will love to see your new project growing into a wonderful creation to inspire us all. xxx
dearie me ... I dream of the good ole days when it was all done with hang up phone calls ... I got the police involved and they paid the nutter a visit - I then rang her folks and gave them the details of her actions ... I'm all for a horse's head in her bed ...ReplyDelete
Strength to you matey le xox
yeah I'd go to the police, seriously, that one has a screw loose. Besides, how do you know her/his antics aren't going to escalate and become physical. I'd def go and report her to the Police dep that deals with cyber bullying, they take it very seriously now. Too many suicides. I'm sure if she hassles you like that, she does it to heaps of others too. Besides, you know her twitter - enlighten us all pleeeeeseese :)))ReplyDelete
It seems to me she is sick in the head. Anyone who seeks to harm others, either emotionally or physically, is a sick person who needs help. Who the heck has the time to set up fake blogs just to insult and stalk another? Only someone who needs mental help would do such a thing. Sorry A-M that she is putting you thru this. I'm glad you are calling her out, but after this she's not worth the mention. We should all just ignore her. Keep on blogging and inspiring us A-M, we love you!ReplyDelete
This person is just really not worth thinking or worrying about what a sad life they must lead.ReplyDelete
OMG A-M I am at a loss to understand how this persons mind must be working.ReplyDelete
I LOVE your blog , your vision & cannot wait to join you on your journey building your new house...GO GIRL..Cate x
What she is doing is illegal A-M, as you probably know. She needs to be blocked and the police have probably heard of her, you are not her first victim I expect. Carry on as usual, we love to read your blog. ps. I adore my Hampton lights I purchased from you!ReplyDelete
Could this be someone who knows you in real life? It's sad that they are so unhappy (mentally ill?) with their own life that they gain pleasure from destroying others. They need medical help.ReplyDelete
Personally, I'd take all your evidence to the Police and prosecute.
A-M, I LOVE YOUR BLOG, WE LOVE YOUR BLOG!ReplyDelete
I visit your blog and like what I see and read. To me you seems like a wonderful person, and by telling from all the comments, I´m not the only one to think that! ;-)
So don't take any notice from this person... I guess she not well! Be strong, be happy! :-)
Ps. I follow you on FB! :-) Thumbs up! ;-)

OMG - You have got to be insane to be such a nasty person like this so called Karen Rogers. Why on earth is she/he even treating such a beautiful person like you are A-M in this way. Oh yeah, because this person is sooooooo envious of you and cannot be even a 10th of the person that you are. You are successful, have a gorgeous soul and personality, have 2 beautiful boys and a family that love and support you. An amazing blog that 1000s read everyday for the genuine posts that you write. This 'person' needs to learn a lesson and karma will catch up them one day, I truly believe that. With so many followers and people looking out for you, Karen Rogers should give up once an for all.ReplyDelete
I totally agree with 'Noosa Beach House' in suggesting to put in a formal complaint with her provider. The more authority figures that know this is happening to you, the quicker this person can be put in their rightful place. I wish you didn't have to have such a horrid person stalking you, no-one ever should.
Best wishes and like everyone else 'normal' we are behind you 10,000%
you are so awesome! just keep doing what you are doing. with love from the USA.ReplyDelete
Dear A-M, you are so wonderful, creative, energetic, loving, inspiring, kind, caring, beautiful inside and outside! There are lots of people who admire you but unfortunately the world has those other kind too. This person is so so so jealous of you that the only thing he/she can do is to be hurtful to you. Just ignore the jerk and live your beautiful life. We love you so much!ReplyDelete
Anyone know a good Psychiatrist? This person really needs therapy!!! Well done A-M! Can't wait to see the new home you come up with. You're very talented!ReplyDelete
Dear A-M, I have just read each and every one of comments left by your followers about this post. You have overwhelming support and admiration from all, and I too am one of those that think your blog is wonderful.ReplyDelete
Hopefully the knowledge that you have tracked the IP address of your bully will deter her forever.
Jealousy is a curse.
Success is yours to enjoy!
All I can say is what a sad, lonely person your cyber bully must be. I hope that it does not deter you from your blogging! Keep up the good work! xxReplyDelete
Do these people not have a life? Honestly, what do they do with their time?ReplyDelete
A girlfriend (who is an editor of a large mag) and I were only talking about this kind of crap yesterday (whilst we have both been lucky to avoid it), but I think she mentioned a blog called lovely living (?) where they had put up special terms of commenting because of the trolls around.
AM, I have had an online stalker and it was a horrible horrible time. I was left shaking, furious and at the same time devastatingly upset by her. She too threatened legal action for no apparent reason than attention. She calls me ladyfelon. Because I am Australian, and as the world knows we are born of convicts and felons. How ridiculous. I worried she would use a private detective to find me for her legal threats to be effective. The only way forward was to block her on twitter, to refuse to rise to her bile, and to turn my back on her comments. I also posted a screenshot of her IP address and the amount of time she spent harassing me. It was hard and I know she is a sick sick woman with serious mental health issues. But we can say no to these bullies, that you have done so is a credit to your strength though I know personally how it will have shaken you. In time she will move on, or be consumed by her bitterness. My heart goes out to you xxReplyDelete

1993 Chevy 1500 - Brace For ImpactPosted in Features on June 28, 2013
More than a decade ago, this 1993 extended Chevy 1500 4x4 showed up at the still-budding doors of WFO Concepts, in Auburn, California. Its owner had given the truck a 4-inch IFS lift, a Vortech supercharger, and bigger tires ... along with a new frame, a few new rear axles, and a couple new paint jobs. The truck just wasn't holding up to the abuse it was getting with its larger tires, more powerful engine, and owner's aggressive driving style. The one thing the truck did have going for it was someone willing to spend the money to make it work right. After reading an article about a Chevy solid-axle swap done by WFO Concepts, the lucky truck's owner dropped it off for a massive makeover, at WFO's discretion. His only demand: It must fit 44-inch Boggers.
Off came the entire independent front suspension and everything suspending the rear. The truck was gutted under the framerails as Trevor and Beau Huiskens went to work building a new subframe to hold the new suspension links. The Huiskens brothers built a three-link in the rear and a four-link in front using SolidWorks to create a suspension that cycles 16 inches with zero degrees of caster change.
To feed the front Dana 60 and rear Dana 70 axle, an NV4500 five-speed manual transmission and Offroad Design NP203/NP205 dual transfer case setup with Tom Wood's driveshafts was used in place of the stock NV3550 and NP241 combination.
With the truck sitting on suspension, WFO went to work adding a '93 Yukon fuel tank behind the rear axle and a '93 Suburban fuel tank in front of the rear axle, giving it a 72-gallon capacity. With all that work into it, the Huiskens brothers decided that only custom-bent-and-welded 1/4-inch plate bumpers would do.
Needless to say, the then-owner couldn't have been more pleased. Fast-forward 10 years, and the truck had been reduced to "dust collector." It wasn't getting used the way it should, and by chance it found its way back into the hands of the guys at WFO Concepts, who bought the truck for their own collection.
Upon seeing the truck in WFO's garage, we coaxed them to go out for an early morning shoot while we were in town. What started as a leisurely trip out for a few photos turned into an underwear-grabbing experience for Trevor Huiskens.
Did he save it? You bet. He held on tight, didn't lose his head, and turned into the roll while hitting the throttle and bringing the truck back onto its wheels.
Vehicle: 1993 Chevy 1500 extended-cab 4x4

Rear Axle: Dana 70 HD axle, Detroit Locker, 7.17:1 gear ratio, Poison Spyder diff guard

Rear suspension: Three-link with upper triangle, King 2.5 16-inch-stroke coilovers with triple-rate coils, 2-inch tube links (0.250 wall) with 1.25-inch rod ends, poly foam rear bumpstops

You totally crushed on him in School Ties and Scent of a Woman back in the day, but now Chris O'Donnell is a dad of five and starring in "NCIS: Los Angeles" as special agent G. Callen. He's also a spokesman for Fluzone Intradermal, a flu shot with a much smaller needle. He took some time to answer our questions about his big family, his fear of blood, and the crazy thing that happened at the birth of his first child.
With five kids, is there ever a full night of sleep at your house?
Yes! [My wife] Caroline was very strict about bedtimes when our kids were young and as a result they are great sleepers. Our youngest may sneak out every once in a while but since she is our last it is kind of fun.
Why did you and your wife want a big family?
I come from seven, she comes from four. I guess it is just what we are used to. I feel like we are as close as we could be with each and every one of them and the relationships they have with their siblings is priceless.
You work on "NCIS: Los Angeles"…but you're squeamish about needles?
Right! I play a tough guy on TV but the truth is, I'm not a big fan of needles. That's why the Fluzone Intradermal vaccine was the best option for me. The device has a 90 percent smaller needle, which to put it in context for you is smaller than a grain of rice, which for me, made a big difference.
What's worse: getting a shot or seeing your kids get one?
My kids seem to be braver than me, they must get that from my wife Caroline…they get the regular flu shot and do just fine. They are actually a little jealous that I was able to get the "short shot," as I like to call it, this year.
Is it true you passed out during one of your kids' births?
Yes, it is true I fainted during our oldest child's birth. As you can see, needles aren't the only things that can make my knees buckle.
You've been married for 15 years. What advice do you have for busy parents trying to keep their marriage strong?
Never go to bed angry. If something is bothering you, get it out.
Do you have a parenting superpower – something you are especially good at, maybe even better than your wife?
Caroline is much more consistent than I am, I have been known to cave on certain issues if the kids push the right buttons, but I feel like we are a good team. We really balance each other out with our strengths and weaknesses. We are not perfect but we are doing the best we can.
Are you good cop or bad cop?
Depends on what we are talking about. Bedtime is Caroline, but when you get into more serious issues, I tend to become the bad cop.
Which movie of yours do your kids like best?
They have only seen a few. The boys loved the Batman films. The older ones are now all hooked on "NCIS: Los Angeles."
What do your kids think of Daddy being on TV?
They love it, I think. It's fun for them to visit me on set. I think the only down side they would say is when I have to miss an important event because of my filming schedule.
What's the best piece of parenting advice you ever got?
Tomorrow is another day.

Canadiens get by Devils
Tomas Kaberle, acquired in a trade with Carolina on Friday, had two assists in his debut with Montreal, leading the Canadiens to a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday.
The Canadiens snapped a two-game losing streak, while the Devils fell for the sixth time in their last eight games. It was only Montreal's second win in the last eight games.
Kaberle, acquired Friday in a trade with the Hurricanes for fellow struggling defenseman Jaroslav Spacek, assisted on Max Pacioretty's power-play goal in the second period and took the initial shot on Erik Cole's third period goal. Cole also had an assist on Pacioretty's goal.
Devils forward Nick Palmieri, who was sent down to Albany (AHL) Nov. 24, only to be recalled last week, scored his first goal since Nov. 15 in the third period.
Montreal goalkeeper Carey Price stopped 28 of 29 shots for his 11th win of the season, including a stop of a penalty shot on Zach Parise with just 47 seconds left.
The Devils were the early aggressors, controlling the early action, firing 13 shots on goal in the first period, including four during one flurry. Bryce Salvador had the best scoring chance of the period, but Price made a solid kick save on Salvador's slap shot midway through the scoreless first period.
Late in the first period, the Devils killed off a brief 5-on-3 penalty and almost scored on it, when Dainius Zubrus fired a low shot that Price stopped with his pads.
But the Canadiens capitalized on a power play opportunity in the opening minutes of the second period. Kaberle carried the puck into the Devils' zone and left a drop pass for Cole, who made a one-time pass to Pacioretty.
Pacioretty unleashed a high wrist shot that Devils' goalkeeper Martin Brodeur had no chance to stop, giving Montreal a 1-0 lead. It was Pacioretty's 11th goal of the season. It was the second straight game that the Devils surrendered a power play goal after going the first 10 home games of the season and 40 power play chances without allowing one.
The Canadiens then pushed the lead to 2-0 at 5:27 of the third period, when defenseman Kaberle made another fine offensive play, firing a slap shot that Brodeur stopped. But Mathieu Darche secured the rebound, pushed it forward with a backhand and Cole alertly knocked it past Brodeur for his 10th goal of the season.
After being stymied for most of the afternoon by Price, the Devils finally got on the board with five minutes left, when Palmieri, who had been struggling early on, earning the demotion to the minors, lifted the puck over Price after receiving a pass from Petr Sykora. Mattias Tedenby was also credited with an assist on Palimeri's fourth goal of the season.
The Canadiens survived a late scare, when Raphael Diaz was whistled for hooking with 2:08 left, giving the Devils a power play opportunity. With 47 seconds left, the Devils were awarded a penalty shot when Josh Gorges covered the puck with his hands in the crease, but Price stonewalled Parise's attempt with a right pad save.
NOTES: Devils fans were hoping for a homecoming of sorts for former Stanley Cup stars Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta, but both former Devils were scratched. Gomez has only seen action in 13 games without a goal, but Gionta has been productive with Montreal, scoring eight goals and collecting seven assists in 29 games. It was the first game Gionta missed in 153 straight games, dating back to Dec. 26, 2009. Gomez was out for the seventh straight game with a lower body injury. Gionta left the Canadiens' loss to Vancouver Thursday with a lower body injury. … Devils C Travis Zajac (Achilles' tendon surgery) continues to skate and will travel with the team to Florida. . Devils D Anton Volchenkov was a scratch due to a hand injury, although X-rays showed Friday that Volchenkov's hand was not broken

The Quotable Pope Francis
6/1/2013Columbia staff
From the first time he walked out onto the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica March 13, Pope Francis has shown himself to be a gifted speaker who conveys thoughtfulness and joy through simple language, as well as through silence, looks and gestures.
Addressing the College of Cardinals two days after his election, Pope Francis said wisdom is "like a good wine that improves with age." Later, to youth gathered in St. Peter's Square for Palm Sunday, he said, "With Christ, the heart never grows old!" Expressing both the wisdom of experience and a youthful exuberance, the 76-year-old pontiff's humble proclamation of the Gospel has already inspired many.
In the pages that follow, Columbia presents just a sampling of the pope's words during the first months of his pontificate.
On Following Christ
"Ours is not a joy born of having many possessions, but from having encountered a Person, Jesus, in our midst; it is born from knowing that with him we are never alone, even at difficult moments, even when our life's journey comes up against problems and obstacles that seem insurmountable, and there are so many of them! And in this moment the enemy, the devil, comes, often disguised as an angel, and slyly speaks his word to us. Do not listen to him! Let us follow Jesus!" – Homily, March 24
"Following and accompanying Christ, staying with him, demands 'coming out of ourselves' … out of a dreary way of living faith that has become a habit, out of the temptation to withdraw into our own plans which end by shutting out God's creative action." – Audience, March 27
"Christ opened the path to us. He is like a roped guide climbing a mountain who, on reaching the summit, pulls us up to him and leads us to God. If we entrust our life to him, if we let ourselves be guided by him, we are certain to be in safe hands, in the hands of our Savior, of our advocate." – Audience, April 17
On the Christian Life
"How does Joseph respond to his calling to be the protector of Mary, Jesus and the Church? By being constantly attentive to God, open to the signs of God's presence and receptive to God's plans, and not simply to his own. … In him, dear friends, we learn how to respond to God's call, readily and willingly, but we also see the core of the Christian vocation, which is Christ! Let us protect Christ in our lives, so that we can protect others, so that we can protect creation!" – Inaugural Homily, March 19
"Being Christian is not just obeying orders but means being in Christ, thinking like him, acting like him, loving like him; it means letting him take possession of our life and change it, transform it and free it from the darkness of evil and sin. … Let us show the joy of being children of God, the freedom that living in Christ gives us which is true freedom, the freedom that saves us from the slavery of evil, of sin and of death!" – Audience, April 10
"We too should be clear in our Christian life that entering the glory of God demands daily fidelity to his will, even when it demands sacrifice and sometimes requires us to change our plans." – Audience, April 17
"In this period of crisis, today, it is important not to turn in on ourselves, burying our own talent, our spiritual, intellectual, and material riches, everything that the Lord has given us, but, rather to open ourselves, to be supportive, to be attentive to others. … Set your stakes on great ideals, the ideals that enlarge the heart, the ideals of service that make your talents fruitful. Life is not given to us to be jealously guarded for ourselves, but is given to us so that we may give it in turn." – Audience, April 24
On Grace and Forgiveness
"The Lord never tires of forgiving never! It is we who tire of asking his forgiveness. Let us ask for the grace not to tire of asking forgiveness, because he never tires of forgiving. Let us ask for this grace." – Homily, March 17
"Sometimes it may seem as though God does not react to evil, as if he is silent. And yet God has spoken. He has replied, and his answer is the cross of Christ: a word that is love, mercy, forgiveness." – Address, Good Friday, March 29
"This is the invitation which I address to everyone: Let us accept the grace of Christ's resurrection! Let us be renewed by God's mercy; let us be loved by Jesus; let us enable the power of his love to transform our lives, too; and let us become agents of this mercy, channels through which God can water the earth, protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish." – Urbi et Orbi Message, Easter
On the Truth of Man
"Before all else, we need to keep alive in our world the thirst for the absolute, and to counter the dominance of a one-dimensional vision of the human person, a vision that reduces human beings to what they produce and to what they consume. This is one of the most insidious temptations of our time." – Address, March 20
"Francis of Assisi tells us we should work to build peace. But there is no true peace without truth! There cannot be true peace if everyone is his own criterion, if everyone can always claim exclusively his own rights, without at the same time caring for the good of others, of everyone, on the basis of the nature that unites every human being on this earth." – Address, March 22
"Man is like a traveller who, crossing the deserts of life, thirsts for the living water: gushing and fresh, capable of quenching his deep desire for light, love, beauty and peace. We all feel this desire! And Jesus gives us this living water: he is the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and whom Jesus pours out into our hearts." – Audience, May 8
On Evangelization
"Inspired also by the celebration of the Year of Faith, all of us together, pastors and members of the faithful, will strive to respond faithfully to the Church's perennial mission: to bring Jesus Christ to mankind and to lead mankind to an encounter with Jesus Christ, the way, the truth and the life, truly present in the Church and also in every person." – Audience with the College of Cardinals, March 15
"To be sure, the testimony of faith comes in very many forms. Just as in a great fresco, there is a variety of colors and shades, yet they are all important, even those which do not stand out. In God's great plan, every detail is important, even yours, even my humble little witness, even the hidden witness of those who live their faith with simplicity in everyday family relationships, work relationships, friendships. … Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one's life. Those who listen to us and observe us must be able to see in our actions what they hear from our lips, and so give glory to God!" – Homily, April 14
"May you also be true evangelizers! May your initiatives be 'bridges,' means of bringing others to Christ, so as to journey together with him. And in this spirit may you always be attentive to charity. Each individual Christian and every community is missionary to the extent that they bring to others and live the Gospel, and testify to God's love for all, especially those experiencing difficulties." – Homily, May 5
On Ministry and Service
"God thinks like the Samaritan who did not pass by the unfortunate man, pitying him or looking at him from the other side of the road, but helped him without asking for anything in return; without asking whether he was a Jew, a pagan or a Samaritan, whether he was rich or poor. He asked for nothing. He went to help him. God is like this." – Audience, March 27
"This I ask you: be shepherds, with the 'odor of the sheep,' make it real, as shepherds among your flock, fishers of men. … Dear priests, may our people sense that we are the Lord's disciples; may they feel that their names are written upon our priestly vestments and that we seek no other identity; and may they receive through our words and deeds the oil of gladness which Jesus, the anointed one, came to bring us." – Homily, Chrism Mass, March 28
"Help one another: This is what Jesus teaches us, and this is what I am doing and doing with all my heart because it is my duty. As a priest and a bishop, I must be at your service. But it is a duty that comes from my heart. I love it." – Homily, Mass of the Lord's Supper, March 28
On Courage
"We must not be afraid of being Christian and living as Christians! We must have this courage to go and proclaim the Risen Christ, for he is our peace; he made peace with his love, with his forgiveness, with his blood and with his mercy." – Regina Cæli, April 7
"Pay attention, my young friends: to go against the current; this is good for the heart, but we need courage to swim against the tide. … We Christians were not chosen by the Lord for little things; push onwards toward the highest principles. Stake your lives on noble ideals, my dear young people!" – Homily, April 28
"What does freedom mean? It is certainly not doing whatever you want, allowing yourself to be dominated by the passions, to pass from one experience to another without discernment, to follow the fashions of the day; freedom does not mean, so to speak, throwing everything that you don't like out the window. … Let us not be afraid of life commitments, commitments that take up and concern our entire life! In this way our life will be fruitful! And this is freedom: to have the courage to make these decisions with generosity." – Address, May 4

Taylor Lautner is a Dirt Bike Devil
Taylor Lautner, aka Jacob Black, gets some dirt bike lessons for his upcoming role in the Twilight sequel, New Moon, on Friday (March 6) in Vancouver, Canada.
On Sunday (March 8), the 17-year-old actor was seen hanging out with costars Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed in downtown Vancouver, where New Moon will be shot later this month.
How kind of Kristen to shove a cigarette down Nikki's throat!

I already have way too many cake slices but there's always room for one more. This dog shaped slice (you turn it upside down to use it) is made by Filou Pylones:
Now here's a surreal(ish) photo. I see this as The Count's audition for a job on a TV shopping channel - "One cake slice, nya ha ha".
If you needed reminding of how great The Count is (and Cookie Monster) this should do the trick:

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Six runs scored by MIT in the second inning set the tone of the game as the Engineers beat out non-conference opponent Rhode Island College, 8-6, Wednesday evening on Briggs Field. With the win, the Engineers extend their winning streak to four and level out to 15-15 on the season, while the Anchormen move to 20-15 for the year.
After a scoreless first inning, RIC struck in the second when senior Tim Schabowski led off with a double to center field and worked his way home to give the Anchormen a 1-0 lead.
MIT's flurry of second-inning runs began with a single by junior Dan Hyatt and walk from sophomore A.J. Hansborough. Sophomore Bryan Macomber brought home Hyatt with a single to left field and junior Brian Doyle advanced the runners with a sac-bunt. An erroneous throw on a failed pick-off scored Hansborough, while a hit batter and walk reloaded the bases.
With a 2-1 advantage, Engineer James McKinney batted in Macomber with an RBI-single. Freshman Grant Iwamoto added three more runs with a base-clearing double to left field, capping Tech's six-run, second-inning effort.
Trailing 6-1 in the third, Rhode Island freshman Kevin Carey singled to lead off the inning and was eventually brought in by sophomore Kyle Allaire, narrowing the gap to 6-2.
In the fifth, reliever Marwing Pena replaced RIC starter Gary Levesque on the mound. On the hook for the loss, Levesque (3-2) retired with 6 strikeouts and 3 walks, having yielded 6 runs and 7 hits. Pena too was dismissed in the fifth after putting two runners on base, and freshman Lucas Gagne was left to throw the third out of the scoreless inning.
RIC attacked again in the top of the sixth as a triple by junior Ronnie Bracchi to right field brought home pinch runner Joseph Correia to cut the lead to three, 6-3.
MIT starter Henry Zhu (3-2) sat after 6 innings on the hill. Zhu posted 2 strikeouts and 1 walk, allowing 1 walk and 3 runs.
The Engineers responded in the bottom of the sixth, as freshman Sean Fannin led with a single and a walk, and a throwing error advanced him to third before McKinney hit a sac-fly to right to open the score to 7-3. Gagne left the game with one out, giving up 1 run and 1 walk in 2/3 inning total.
The Anchormen mounted a rally in the seventh, taking advantage of MIT reliever Ryne Barry on the mound. Freshman Greg Palmer and Allaire each singled before sophomore John Stone hit an RBI-single up the middle. Senior Jared Rossi lofted a sacrifice fly to bring in a second run, and Stone came home on a wild pitch, as RIC added three and moved within striking distance at 7-6.
Sophomore Columbus Leonard closed the inning for MIT, bailing out Barry, who left with 1 walk, 3 runs and 3 hits. Leonard went on to pitch a scoreless eighth and tallied 2 strikeouts with 0 hits on the day.
Junior Matthew Thadeio, who finished the seventh and tossed the eighth for RIC, had 1 strikeout and 1 hit in his 1 and 2/3 innings of service on the mound.
With RIC closer Bobby Venditto on the mound, the Engineers put up an insurance run in the eighth, as senior Stewart Park walked to first, stole second and was brought home on a throwing error after stealing third, opening the lead to 8-6. Venditto tossed 1 strikeout and 2 walks in his 1 inning of duty.
Though the Anchormen put two on in the ninth, MIT closer Cameron Brown notched his first save of the season by dismissing RIC, allowing 1 hit, 2 walks and 0 runs.
After a six-game home stand in which the MIT went 4-2, the Engineers head to Maine to face St. Joseph's College in a weekday doubleheader on Thursday, May 6, beginning at 3:30 p.m. The Anchormen end their regular season when they visit Little East rival UMass-Boston in a doubleheader on Saturday, May 8, starting at 12 p.m.

Bank of NZ offers 6% overdrafts for drought-hit farmers
Article – BusinessDesk
March 5 (BusinessDesk) Bank of New Zealand has announced a 6 percent overdraft facility up to $100,000 for farmers affected by drought.
Bank of NZ offers 6% overdrafts for drought-hit farmers
March 5 (BusinessDesk) – Bank of New Zealand has announced a 6 percent overdraft facility up to $100,000 for farmers affected by drought.
Economists are gauging the impact of dry conditions in the North Island, which are driving up feed costs, curbing milk production and are likely to be a brake on economic growth this year.
The bank's head of Agribusiness Richard Bowman said the deal is on offer to all of its agri-customers suffering from dry weather. It is also offering $10,000 in emergency family funding. That's down from a base rate of 9.8 percent.
The government declared drought in Northland and said Waikato and the Hawkes Bay may follow.
"Right now farmers need fast access to funds as they're coming under enormous pressure with the challenge of feeding their stock," Bowman said in a statement. "This could result in increased feed costs, reduced production and reduced stock prices as they off-load surplus stock, placing further strain on cash flows."
He said because drought conditions were widespread in the North Island farmers may have more difficulty obtaining supplies of supplementary feed. Against that, the dry conditions have emerged later in the season than previous droughts, meaning pasture would recover if there's meaningful rain in the near term.
BNZ's relief package is initially on offer for six months.

PARKDALE — Cooper Spur Mountain Resort had to wait a little longer than expected to show off its many improvements this year.
But, now that the hills are covered in white stuff, this cozy backyard ski resort can finally strut its stuff for the ski and snowboard public.
"We've gotten about two feet of snow in the past week, which has helped us make up for lost time," said Cooper Spur and Mt. Hood Meadows general manager Dave Riley, who helped facilitate $750,000 in improvements since last year.
"People are curious about the improvements, and the number of visitors has already gone up compared to last year."
The most notable improvement at Cooper Spur this year is the 1,350-foot long Riblet chairlift, which replaces the less efficient T-bar. It reaches 350 vertical feet and can transport up to 1,200 people per hour, providing guests with a welcome change.
"We love it," said Portland resident Doug Stringer, who owns a cabin in Parkdale and has been taking his three children to Cooper Spur for years. "My kids learned to ski on the rope tow here, and they were ready for something new. The lift seemed to come at the perfect time."
Mertie Williams of Skamania, Wash., agrees.
"It's nice because you don't have to wait in line as much as before," said the mother of two. "We have already used the new lift a bunch of times, and I'm sure we'll be back throughout the season."
Williams and Stringer both said that they like how Cooper Spur has maintained its familiar, "family" atmosphere despite the recent upgrades.
And that is music to Riley's ears.
"Our goal with the improvements was not to change the tradition of Cooper Spur," he said. "We want to attract the same guests and keep prices affordable for families. And so far, we've heard nothing but positive feedback."
Also new to Cooper Spur this season are two innertubing tows, a kids' rope tow (called a "Pony Lift"), a 2,000 square foot deck, a new rental shop and ticket office, and an upgraded cross-country trail system.
Cooper Spur employees also spent much of the past summer refinishing the lodge, both inside and out.
"It's interesting to note that all the construction was done locally," Riley said. "The chairlift was manufactured in Spokane, Wash., and installed by a company out of Ashland (Outback Construction). Wells Construction handled most of the lodge work, and the rest was done in house."
Riley and his employees are understandably excited about the improvements, but the biggest beneficiaries are the guests. Three-quarters of a million dollars was spent and not one cent was added to the previous rates.
Cost for a day of fun at Cooper Spur remains at $15, while a season pass costs $99 and an unlimited family pass is just $250.
People can also purchase an "all-access" pass for $25 ($20 for kids), which allows use of the chairlift, the innertubing tows, the cross-country trails and rental equipment.

TORONTO (AP) â¿¿ The Canadian economy created 40,000 full-time jobs in December, driving the unemployment rate to its lowest in four years, Statistics Canada said Friday. The federal reporting agency said the unemployment rate slipped by one-tenth of a percentage point to 7.1 percent. The results easily topped economist estimates for a gain of just 5,000 jobs nationally and an unemployment rate of 7.3 percent. The better-than-expected December results follow what was a strong November, when Canada's economy created 59,300 jobs. "Canadian employment not only defied expectations in December, it also appears to be defying gravity," said Doug Porter, the Bank of Montreal's deputy chief economist. "The Canadian labor market finished 2012 in fine fashion, posting solid job gains in four of the last five months and driving the jobless rate to its lowest ebb in four years." December saw 41,200 new full-time jobs added, while the number of part-time positions fell by 1,400. Compared with a year earlier, Statistics Canada said there were 312,000 more jobs, all in full-time work. Ontario led the way with a gain of 33,000 jobs in December, following a similar increase in November. Most of the other provinces posted gains or were little changed for the month. The gains were made in the transportation and warehousing segment which added 22,000 jobs, while the construction industry gained 18,000 jobs. Professional, scientific and technical services lost 42,000, while public administration dropped 13,000. The new jobs were added in a month of much handwringing over the U.S. fiscal cliff and worries that if a budget deal was not reached Canada's largest trading partner could be tipped back into recession. A last-minute deal this week has prevented taxes from rising on the middle class and the poor. However, U.S. lawmakers still must wrangle over spending cuts and raising the country's debt ceiling.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. � Daytona International Speedway is getting another facelift, this one considerably bigger than the last.
Three years after a complete repaving project, the famed track is overhauling the frontstretch to enhance the �fan experience.�
International Speedway Corp., which owns Daytona and 12 other NASCAR tracks, announced funding approval Tuesday. ISC estimates the redesign with cost between $375 million and $400 million. Daytona had hoped to get some public funding, but the Florida House of Representatives declined to even vote on a bill that would have provided financial assistance to several sporting venues in the Sunshine State.
ISC pushed forward anyway, scheduling the project to begin July 5 and be completed by January 2016 � in time for the Rolex 24 At Daytona and the Daytona 500.
The redevelopment will give Daytona�s aging grandstands a modern look and feel. It will include expanded entrances and a series of escalators and elevators to transport fans to three different concourse levels, each featuring spacious and strategically-placed social �neighborhoods� along the nearly mile-long frontstretch. Those 11 neighborhoods, each measuring the size of a football field, will allow fans to meet and socialize during events without ever missing any on-track action.
�We are truly creating history with this unprecedented endeavor,� ISC CEO Lesa France Kennedy said. �I commend the board�s decision to move forward on our plan to redevelop the company�s signature motorsports facility, thereby shaping the vision of Daytona for the next 50 years.
�The decision was made with strong consideration of the current macroeconomic condition and a clear view for our long-term growth. This significant private investment is a strategic use of our capital that will ensure the long-term viability of the iconic speedway, and when completed, will contribute favorably to the company�s revenues, as well as to our community and the sport as a whole.�
Backstretch grandstands will be removed while wider and more comfortable seating will be installed throughout the frontstretch. When the project is complete, Daytona will have reduced its capacity by 46,000 seats to 101,000.
�The redevelopment of Daytona International Speedway reaffirms its status as the �World Center of Racing� for years to come,� France Kennedy said. �It is imperative that we build upon my grandfather�s vision to create a world-class facility with premium amenities to provide unparalleled experiences for our guests and partners. Doing so will ensure that the Daytona 500 and all our other events continue to drive our business while serving as a significant economic engine for the region.�

Republican hopefuls for the vacant 1st Congressional District stumped in Beaufort County on Monday, emphasizing red-meat issues and their conservative stripes.
Former Gov. Mark Sanford spoke to about 80 Sun City residents before heading to Beaufort for another forum that featured Charleston Republican Teddy Turner, son of media tycoon Ted Turner. Meanwhile, the Greater Bluffton Republican Club hosted a candidate forum with state Rep. Andy Patrick, R-Hilton Head Island, state Rep. Chip Limehouse, R-Charleston, and Elizabeth Moffly, a former S.C. superintendent candidate and sitting Charleston County School Board member.
Sixteen Republicans and three Democrats filed last month to run for the redrawn coastal seat after Gov. Nikki Haley tapped second-term Rep. Tim Scott for the U.S. Senate to finish Sen. Jim DeMint's term. The district includes most of Charleston and Beaufort counties along with portions of Colleton, Dorchester and Berkeley counties.
Sanford hits Sun City
Former Sanford campaign manager and chief of staff state Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, introduced Sanford with small-government bonafides from his three terms in Congress and his time in the governor's mansion, including top honors from groups such as the National Taxpayers Union and his refusal to accept federal stimulus money.
"He's the guy who has shown what he'll do under pressure up there in Washington, D.C.," Davis said. Sanford referenced his three terms holding the 1st Congressional District from 1994 to 2000 as an opportunity to jump the seniority ranks in a young Republican majority while also addressing the 2009 extramarital affair that derailed his political career.
"I'm not in any way unaware of my failings as a human being or the ways in which I let many of you all down in that messy chapter of my life," Sanford said. "But what I would say is part and parcel to our sense of humanity is that notion of...getting back up and trying as best you can to get things right going forward, to learn from whatever you've gotten wrong, and say...'Where can I make a difference in whatever way there is?' "
On entitlement reform, Sanford called for turning Medicaid into a block grant to reduce its size while supporting Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare plan and some measure of Social Security privatization through personal accounts. But he also left defense cuts on the table in the future, though he cited successful efforts in the past to avoid specific cuts to South Carolina bases by touting unique geography or purposes.
"I think that, like any other category of government, defense needs to be looked at," he said.
Sanford supports radical tax reform, advocating either a fair tax - which eliminates income taxes in favor of a broad sales tax - or a flat tax rate.
Sanford doesn't support newly circulating gun control measures such as universal background checks or limits on high-capacity magazines, saying, "I've seen first hand well-intentioned bills that don't affect change."
Greater Bluffton Republican Club
Moffly, Limehouse and Patrick talked up their credentials and discussed what they considered federal overreach in health care and gun control.
A mother of four and a small-business owner from Charleston, Moffly said she first took an interest in politics when George W. Bush's polarizing No Child Left Behind Act took effect more than a decade ago, but she maintains that same opposition to government intrusion today.
"Large, centralized government bureaucracies are ruining our freedoms and bankrupting this country," she said.
Limehouse, who owns a property and hotel management company, counts 18 years in the statehouse and 20 years with his "first and only wife," Sue. He's spent 12 of those years in the budget-writing Ways and Means Committee, an experience he says uniquely qualifies him to right the budget in Washington.
"That's one of the things they don't seem to be able to do," he said, referencing a long-running resolution that keeps the government operational despite the absence of a new budget.
Sophomore state Rep. Patrick stressed he's no career politician, pointing to five years in the U.S. Air Force and a career in the Secret Service that helped him launch his own security consulting firm, Advance Point Global. Patrick, the only candidate from Beaufort County in the race, picked up endorsements last week from the mayors of Bluffton and Hilton Head Island along with Dan Santorum, the brother of former presidential candidate Rick Santorum. His campaign announced the start of a grassroots network of 50 supporters from government and business on Monday.
Patrick continued making the case for conservative-minded health care reforms in the vein of a telemedicine bill he pushed for unsuccessfully last year while insisting the state can't afford a Medicare expansion under the Affordable Care Act that covers 90 percent of extra costs after 2016.
"That (federal) money still comes from taxpayers," furthering budget woes in Washington, he said.
When talk turned to nullifying or repealing Obamacare, Patrick conceded the Supreme Court hasn't looked favorably upon the theory, and Limehouse argued the only way to change it is from within Congress.
"The best way to ever get out from under it is to send a Congressman to Washington who knows how to budget," he said.
On gun control, Moffly and Limehouse both railed against any new measures while Patrick called for a response to the "broken mental health system" that has failed to identify shooters, though he called bans on assault weapons or high-capacity magazines a "slippery slope" that can't feasibly keep guns out of the wrong hands.
"Good people don't kill people; bad people do," he said. "And they'll always have access to weapons." He added that he opposes arming teachers, instead asking for beefed up security from professionals.
Patrick and Limehouse both expressed willingness to eliminate tax deductions from the code that effectively act as expenditures. Moffly called for a shift to a fair-tax model.

Beware assumptions. Just when they think they are now playing an individual game, the players will be thrown a curve at the Immunity Challenge. Players will compete as two teams of five, with the losing team going directly to Tribal Council, without passing Camp. Look for someone to get blind-sided when they are selected on the "wrong team" by Dre and that teams loses.
I understand taking away the lavish stuff... but what about the stuff they won in challenges, they shoudl be able to keep that stuff.
