The following article, authored by Karen Frink Wolf and Nora C. Lawrence, was originally published in the March 19 issue of DRI's Business Suit First Circuit Update newsletter.
Packgen v. BP Exploration & Production Inc., et al., 754 F.3d 61 (1st Cir. June 11, 2014)
The First Circuit recently affirmed the District of Maine's decision granting BP Exploration & Production, Inc. and BP American Production Company's (collectively "BP") motion for summary judgment in a dispute regarding an alleged oral contract for the purchase goods over $500. Appellant Packgen first filed suit against BP in the District of Maine, following BP's decision not to purchase oil containment boom from Packgen in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill off the Gulf of Louisiana in 2010. Packgen asserted negligent and intentional misrepresentation and breach of contract against BP, and sought equitable relief under theories of unjust enrichment, quantum meruit, and promissory estoppel. The First Circuit affirmed the District Court's conclusions that the record did not indicate that BP expressed a false intention to purchase boom from Packgen; that neither the "specially manufactured goods" nor "judicial admission" exceptions to the Statute of Frauds applied in this case; and that Packgen was not entitled to equitable relief.
Packgen is a small Maine business that manufactures and designs composite packaging materials and containers for the chemical, oil, and food processing industries. Although Packgen had never manufactured oil containment boom before, it began the manufacturing process after learning that BP planned to utilize large amounts of it during its clean up of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Over a series of months, Packgen and BP engaged in extensive negotiations, wherein BP would agree to purchase Packgen's entire oil containment boom supply, provided that Packgen meet certain manufacturing requirements or make certain adjustments to its product. Packgen made extensive alterations to its oil containment boom manufacturing process in pursuit of BP's business. Ultimately, BP did not purchase Packgen's oil containment boom, and Packgen was left with 60,000 feet of completed boom, which it was forced to sell at a considerable loss to the only purchaser it could find.
The First Circuit found that BP had not engaged in either negligent or intentional misrepresentation because Packgen could not establish that BP had made false representations of present fact. Although BP ultimately did not purchase Packgen's product despite having indicated that it would on multiple occasions, the Court found that BP had, in fact, intended to make these purchases when it represented as much in negotiations. The First Circuit concluded that the evidence merely established that BP's needs and requirements for boom changed repeatedly during the course of negotiations. However, the evidence did not establish that, at any point, BP expressed an intent to purchase boom when it actually lacked such an intent.
The First Circuit also rejected Packgen's argument that the "specially manufactured goods" and "judicial admission" exceptions to the Statute of Frauds applied in this case. The Court concluded that the "specially manufactured goods" exception to the Statute of Frauds refers to the nature of the goods themselves, rather than the circumstances in which they are manufactured. Although Packgen manufactured oil containment boom with the specific intent to sell to BP, Packgen was nevertheless able to resell the boom to another purchaser without making any alterations to the product. While Packgen was forced to sell the boom at a loss, the reduced price was simply due to an overabundance of boom in the market, as opposed to any action Packgen had taken in pursuit of BP's business. Moreover, Packgen had made an independent choice to enter the oil containment boom market because it thought it would be lucrative, not because of any inducements on the part of BP. The Court also found that the "judicial admission" exception to the Statute of Frauds did not apply because Packgen could not point to any statements that, when taken in the context of the parties' extended negotiations, established the existence of a contract.
Finally, the First Circuit held that Packgen was not entitled to equitable relief under any theory. The Court concluded that Packgen could not provide evidence that BP benefited from Packgen's manufacturing of boom under either a theory of unjust enrichment or quantum meruit. The Court also concluded that Packgen was not entitled to equitable relief under a theory of promissory estoppel. The parties disputed whether promissory estoppel applies to a promise otherwise unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds. The Court took pains to establish that the Maine courts have not definitively answered that question in the context of a sale of goods. Nevertheless, it applied the theory espoused by the Supreme Judicial Court of Maine in Chapman v. Bomann, 381 A2d 1123 (Me. 1978), that a court may apply promissory estoppel when "it would be grossly unjust and, therefore, tantamount to a fraud on the plaintiffs to allow [a] defendant to assert the Statute of Frauds." Id. at 1129. However, the Court concluded that Packgen had failed to meet that standard. Therefore, Packgen was not entitled to equitable relief under promissory estoppel.
In re PHC Inc. Shareholder Litigation et. al. v. PHC, Inc., 762 F.3d 138 (1st Cir. Aug. 6, 2014)
In this case, the First Circuit held that the District of Massachusetts abused its discretion when it granted Defendant-Corporation's motion for summary judgment without allowing Plaintiff-Shareholders to engage in additional discovery in light of the Plaintiffs' Rule 56(d) Affidavit. Plaintiffs, who were holders of Class A common stock of PHC, Inc. ("PHC"), filed separate class action suits claiming that a merger between PHC and Acadia Health Care Company ("Acadia") was the result of an unfair process that provided stockholders with insufficient compensation. Plaintiffs sued PHC, Acadia, and Acadia Merger Sub., LLC, the entity created to facilitate the merger, as well as several board members and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting those breaches, and disclosure violation.
After the two cases were consolidated, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6). The District of Massachusetts granted the motion in part and denied it in part, allowing Plaintiffs to move forward on the breach of fiduciary duty claims against the individuals, and the aiding and abetting claims against Acadia and Merger Sub. Immediately thereafter, Defendants filed a motion for a judgment on the pleadings under Rule 12(c). The District Court denied this motion, finding that additional discovery was necessary before the factual record would be clear enough to support such a motion.
However, before engaging in discovery, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, which Plaintiffs opposed. In support of their opposition to summary judgment, Plaintiffs submitted a Rule 56(d) Affidavit that outlined the evidence they sought and the previous attempts they had made to obtain it. The District Court granted Defendant's motion for summary judgment without addressing Plaintiffs' Rule 56(d) Affidavit, concluding that Plaintiffs lacked standing because they did not have enough evidence to demonstrate a cognizable injury.
Reviewing the District Court's decision under an abuse of discretion standard, the First Circuit ultimately found that the District Court had abused its discretion by granting Defendants' summary judgment motion without allowing additional discovery in light of Plaintiff's 56(d) motion. The First Circuit emphasized that district courts should construe motions involving Rule 56(d) broadly and generously, as the rule is designed to protect litigants who need additional time to respond to summary judgment motions for legitimate reasons.
The Court went on to stress that a party that utilizes Rule 56(d) to oppose a motion for summary judgment must authoritatively establish why it does not have the evidence necessary to craft an opposition. If that reason is incomplete discovery, the party must cite good cause for its failure to discover facts previously, must establish that the sought after facts probably exist, and must adequately explain how those facts would impact the outcome of the motion. However, even in the face of these requirements, there is a strong presumption in favor of relief.
The First Circuit concluded that Plaintiffs had timely filed its Rule 56(d) motion and had proffered adequate reasons for not discovering the facts sooner; namely, that Defendants filed the motion for summary judgment before the parties began to engage in discovery in earnest. The Court also highlighted that most of the discovery Plaintiffs sought was in Defendants' control, and that Defendants had not been forthcoming with disclosure at previous junctures. This, the Court emphasized, weighed heavily in favor of granting Plaintiffs relief.
Ultimately, the First Circuit held that a court should not grant summary judgment on the basis of a party's lack of proof without first determining whether that party has had a sufficient opportunity to gather such proof from the opposing party.

This Friday, The ALS Association will honor LA marathoner and world traveler Tom Masters at its "Heroes Living with ALS" luncheon at the annual Leadership Conference and Winter Walk Forum in San Diego, Calif.
A source of inspiration to all who meet him, Masters frequently interacts with others with Lou Gehrig's Disease. He has worked closely with the Orange County Chapter since February 2008, a month after he received his ALS diagnosis. The chapter's monthly support group meetings he attends in Orange County allow him and his wife of 35 years, Heidi, to disclose the challenges associated with the disease that they have encountered. Masters uses a motorized wheelchair for mobility along with a handicap-accessible van to get around his hometown of Anaheim.
"Support groups are nice because we get to share information and help each other out," Masters says.
Heidi Masters serves as her husband's primary caregiver and assists him with performing daily living activities. "She is always here helping me," Masters concedes. In 2013, Heidi was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. "She is my arms and legs, and I help her to remember things," he admits. A home health care worker also provides aid to him three days a week, and one the Masters' two daughters, Noelle Carden, and her husband Matt have moved in with the couple to help with their care.
Masters has found camaraderie with other ALS families at the Irvine Walk to Defeat ALS®. His team, "The Masters of ALS," have raised more than $39,700 since 2008. However, what he finds most significant about the Walk is the atmosphere around it.
"The Walk helps out the organization, but going there is more than that. We are surrounded by optimism and hope. It is truly an uplifting experience," he acknowledges.
"Tom Masters does not consider himself a hero, but he has HOPE, and Tom brings HOPE to our entire organization," said Jared Mullins, the chapter's Executive Director.
Masters, 57, a retired electrical engineer, imparts positivity and the sense of hopefulness that Mullins describes in a "Text to Give" video campaign the chapter created. The minute-plus clip, which educates viewers about the disease, shows him with his young granddaughter, Hayley Manning, riding on his motorized wheelchair outdoors while his daughter and Hayley's mom, Anna, snaps photos of her father and child. In the video, he discusses ALS and the need to fund research for treatments and a cure and tells viewers to "Focus on the living and not the dying."
Since being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease six years ago, Masters has lived. He has visited Australia and New Zealand, where he snorkeled in the Greater Barrier reef. He has skydived. He has trekked through the American Southwest with his son Nathan. He has travelled to Kona, Hawaii with his family, and he has participated in the Los Angeles Marathon.
The marathon provided Masters with an opportunity to complete a 26 mile footrace and spread ALS awareness. Chapter Board President Mark Hershey started the annual tradition of having a person with ALS participate in the marathon in 2000. In March 2011, Masters embraced this challenge. Others living with the disease pushed his wheelchair for the first 24 miles of the race, while his family ferried him across the finish line. He completed the marathon – in rainy weather – in five-and-a-half hours.
Masters deemed this event "one of the most amazing experiences that I have participated in." For the marathon, his wheelchair was fitted with a banner showcasing the chapter's logo and contained the words, "Racing for a Treatment & a Cure."
Another remarkable experience that Masters participated in was a skydiving expedition over Perris Valley, Calif., three years ago. The "Text to Give" clip shows Masters stepping from a plane into the air, freely flying mid-air in a red, white and blue jumpsuit, with assistance from a professional skydiver. Those who watch the video will witness the wonder and excitement on Masters' face as he floats through the sky, unencumbered by the physical restraints the disease has put on him.
The image clearly illustrates the reason why Tom Masters motivates the chapter and his community: He refuses to let ALS limit him.

"You have the most allergies out of all my patients. How do you do it?"
It's true – I kind of feel like I have a badge of honor. This quote is from my dermatologist, Dr. Haugen, this morning at my appointment. It's been two years since I've seen her and it was really great to catch up! I showed her the findings that have come about since she sent me to a dermatologist who specializes in patch testing (Dr. Scheman). She was shocked at all of my allergies and commended me on the progress I've made since she last saw me. She called me extraordinary :-)

A pedagogical parable with the feeling of the Heimatfilm: spring is coming to the small town on the Volga and with it the young teacher Nadja Kulagina who just graduated university. One of her new students is to be thrown out, but she stands up for him. It becomes difficult for her when a good student accuses her of beating her up. With an unusually high sympathy for the difficult characters, the film narrates teacher-student conflicts, which are always solved with the whole collective involved.

J Watkin Law | 20900 NE 30th Avenue, 8th Floor, Aventura, Florida 33180
Office Hours: Mon-Fri 9:00am - 5:00pm
What is Child Support?: Florida law requires that child support be paid by both parents. Although a common misconception, child support is a duty owed to the child, not to the parent. In a divorce or paternity determination, child support is ordered to provide for a child's basic needs such as food, clothing, and other expenses of the child(ren). Child support is usually paid by one parent to the other parent.
How to calculate Child Support ? Child Support is a formula calculated by following certain guidelines provided by Florida Statutes. The guidelines include factors such as:
Modification of child support: There are times when parents may seek a modification of a prior child support award when it is based on a substantial, permanent and unanticipated change in circumstances. Examples of modification requests can be loss of a job, disability, increase or decrease of 15% in income for either parent.
Modifications should be filed immediately, as they are only effective as of the date of filing forward.
Enforcement of prior child support orders: There are alternatives in order to have a court enforce a past due child support payment. One must have a valid child support order in place and the other parent must be behind on payment(s). Some options include holding the nonpaying spouse in contempt of court, suspend a driver's license or a professional license.
Before you go to court for child support modification, it is best to contact a qualified family law attorney who can represent your best interests. Contact Jeannette Watkin, Esq. to represent you in your Child Support proceedings. Call JWatkin Law. P.A., for a confidential consultation at (786) 272-6360, or Contact us online.

I receive medicine once a month, every month via UPS. Shipped overnight UPS but no signature required.
Shipping date was a Friday, nothing. Called the drug company and they investigated with UPS, told it was hand delivered to a woman. No, I never received it. UPS called and said the driver would come by to make sure he had the right house and to speak with us.
He also admitted he just left it at the door. He never came by. My neighbor 6 days later gives me the perishable package and says they have been calling UPS to get them to come pick it up, that it was delivered to the wrong address.
UPS, this is costing you $3000.00 because your driver could not ring a doorbell to get a person when delivering a Perishable package. My house number is clear on the package, my mail box, painted on the curb, and is also on the door.
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Monetary Loss: $3000.
Preferred solution: My drug company is seeking compensation for my medicine. I just want to make sure this is posted since the customer service representative did not believe me when I told her I did not receive my medication. Sometimes the customer really is right!!!.

After a several-month hiatus for the rainy season, the Ethiopian courts have reopened. We got on the waiting list shortly before the courts closed, so really we've been waiting through a drought. But, hooray! The courts are open again, and CHI is working with a new orphanage that is moving things right along. There were six referrals this week, pushing us to our new place in line - #84! We're hoping that #1-83 have requested boys, toddlers, and/or sibling groups! :)

Free unlimited broadband for 12 months from Plusnet
The competition for customers is ramping up once more and this time we have Plusnet who are now offering their unlimited ADSL2+ broadband service free for 12 months, just the voice line rental at £16.99 per month needs paying.
This latest offer ends on the 8th December 2015 and the contract length is 12 months, with the free broadband applying no matter whether in a low-cost area or not. After the 12 months if you stay with Plusnet broadband will be charged at the standard price which is currently £9.99 per month, or £17.49 if outside the low cost areas.
The voice line rental does not come with any inclusive call bundle but there are options to add evening and weekend or anytime call bundles if you want when ordering the service.
This is undoubtedly a good deal... however (and this is hardly a new point) it would be much more refreshing if the 'free/cheap broadband' with a phone line nonsense came to an end - it's a line rental + ADSL broadband bundle that customers are paying their money for.
If they didn't give away free broadband they could be competitive with line rental,seeing as they are doing everything they can to get people to buy both data and voice services from them
How is its that SkyQ isn't interesting enough because it lacks UHD movies but a boring old Free ADSL offer makes news feed ???
@generallee94, because this website is Thinkbroadband, not thinkTV, you want to see news about Murdoch stuff, then have a look on digital spy.
So Sky didn't just announce a new form out home broadband infrastructure that will surely challenge most providers...
last I heard a new router from an ISP made news here, then that router will then also be supplied with TV STB's that will then rebroadcast the network using nothing but the electrical ring its connected to I would deem that Broadband news.
I never realised that Sky announced a new router, if it is like the one they supply now, then it is nothing to get excited about. what would be nice if they announce that they would go back to standard authentication, so people can use what router they want.
Would also be nice if this content grabbing was stopped as well.
As for a new form of home broadband infrastructure, you are aware that HomePlug is over ten years old and only has 2 Ethernet ports.
Once pricing and details of which broadband product its available on will mention it.
There is a question to be asked, do the majority of people want me to do the 10 to 20 news items a day to cover everything that lands in my in box?
Nope, for a start it would take you too long and it would load the front page up.
I think it is fine the way it is.
If the 10-20 items are relevant then I guess they would appear - Thanks for filtering the c... Andrew!
lmao ok....
PN reduce the cost......by reducing customer service support to zero !!!
@BREWERDAVE, The few times I've had to use their customer support it has been very, very good indeed. Sure, there's a delay due to the usual phone queue, but once through they seem knowledgeable and helpful. That's much better than most call centres.

After spending an additional season in Sweden after being selected sixth overall by the Phoenix Coyotes in 2009, Ekman-Larsson had a strong rookie campaign after recording 11 points in 48 games in 2010-11. The season, his first in North America, was split between Phoenix and the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League.
Ekman-Larsson continued to develop until he emerged as one of the best defensemen in the NHL's Western Conference this past season. In the shortened campaign, the rearguard recorded 24 points in 48 games and saw the 13th most ice time of any player in the league.
FC's 8th Ranked Players By Year
2008: Mikkel Boedker (PHX, 8th overall)
2009: Oliver Ekman-Larsson (PHX, 6th overall)
2010: Vladimir Tarasenko (STL, 16th overall)
2011: Ryan Strome (NYI, 5th overall)
2012: Teuvo Teravainen (CHI, 18th overall)
2013: Sean Monahan
For six seasons, Future Considerations has been bringing you the best in NHL Draft eligible content. To celebrate the NHL Draft — our sixth, we're going back through our previous rankings to identify who was the best of the best at each pick, starting with all our 30th overalls and working to our top picks.

A volunteer writes:
Sometimes all that glisters really IS gold and beautiful Lab-Sharpei mix Glitter is the perfect example; the sweetest, gentlest, most low-key girl you could ever hope to meet. Having recently lost her home and family to eviction, she's understandably not ready to throw a happy party just yet but that doesn't stop her from quietly enjoying snuggles and petting, doling out little flurries of snuffle-kisses or heading outdoors to do some exploring. Glitter walks nicely on leash, keeps a clean den and takes care of her business not long after we hit the yard and she seems friendly and sociable with other dogs too, meeting pups of all sizes with her tiny ears perked and tail softly wagging. I offer some food which she sniffs politely then just as politely rejects and a squeaky toy that holds her interest for only a few seconds before she tries to direct our walk off down the street and the freedom that beckons beyond. It seems the 'treats' Glitter craves most are a home and family to call her own and she knows they're out there somewhere because she's enjoyed them before. A great go-anywhere kind of pet who couldn't be easier to handle, this gorgeous girl aced her behavior assessment and would make a wonderful addition to any calm yet active family. We haven't seen Glitter smile during her stay with us but I guarantee that she'll be beaming, if only on the inside, once you make her yours for keeps. So forget the Olympics for a bit and visit our Manhattan Care Center to take home the only gold you'll ever need–a lifetime of love and loyalty awaits and her name is Glitter.

2. The serious buyers: They are the ones who really have a claim to Shoprite, there are the average spenders, the excessive shoppers and over spenders. The ones who calmly walk into the store, buy the items they need, pay for them and continue on their way. There are others who buy every and anything in their path, buy different brands of wines just because they can afford it , not necessarily because they know the difference. The die hard Shoprite shoppers swear by everything Shoprite, one will wonder how these Nigerians have been coping and buying items before the advent of the huge shopping mall.
3. The pleasure seekers: While others come to shop rite to buy grocery items, others see Shoprite as vacation and relaxation spot. Truly there are movie cinemas, arcade centers , club houses, bars and children playgrounds that offer pleasure activities for mall visitors. This is the reason why on festive days like Ramadan holidays, Christmas or children's day , the mall typically overflows with crowd. Whole families turn out at Shoprite on holidays and weekends.While parents shop, the children are bribed with food and drinks or arcade games.
4. The curious cats: When a new shop rite store opens, the inquisitive ones are the first to visit, they are there to find out what the whole noise about Shoprite is all about , if it lives up to hype and publicity. Most of them wont be back after their first, second visit going back to their usual neighborhood stores. Few visit again to when a new store opens in the mall.
5. The storytellers: Bloggers, journalists visit Shoprite sometimes to catch glimpses of celebrities, society happenings, study shoppers activities to get the details for their next juicy gossip or news. Amateur story tellers like those who upload pictures of their recent visit to Shoprite to their Facebook and Instagram pages accompanied with description.
Recently, I had a trip to Shoprite, saw Ik Ogbonna and his wife Sonia Morales, many really ripped over themselves to have shots of the lovely couple, few gained the courage to ask them for a pose which they obliged, while others continued to pass and walk on like they meet celebrities every day of their lives which I guess is just good , so the celebrities can also have normal lives without getting trampled on anytime they venture out to have a day of normal activity. While leaving, I overheard a passerby's comment about Ik and his wife , the lady said " I neva see Oyinbo wey fine like dat before , most of them are not fine, that naija guy must be lucky" I guess he is.
6. Picture posers: These are the notorious ones , you can find them posing everywhere, sitting on a bench, while climbing the escalator, at the Atm machine, ice cream stands, Car parks, there are some that can make a cone of ice cream last 1 hour without melting just to have a perfect picture pose.
|Cars parked in Shoprite
8. The romance seekers : They include the babes finders, boyfriend seekers, one night stands, stranded out of town guests looking for Prince charming who can provide warmth and shelter. Even a marriage consultant once mentioned, Shoprite is one of the likeliest places to meet marriageable men.
9. The business opportunists: These are the flier sharers, taxi drivers, cab operators, balloons and toy sellers and the entrepreneurs who set up meetings with their potential clients /staff at the mall. The mall is an ideal alternative to expensive restaurants, hotels, meeting points, all they need is to find seats and order for food. The total cost is less than the price of a conventional meeting venue.
10. The show offs: These are the ones who want everyone to know they have been to shop rite, they buy a pack of chewing gum and request for 2 packaging nylons .Some make calls while shopping to inform friends and partners loudly " I am in shop rite, I will call you back" , as if the voices in Shoprite is different from the ones in Palms mall or corner shop. How should the friend guess?
Well there used to be The Parkers: Those who just park their cars at the Shoprite parking garage for lack of parking space and go away to conduct their business, some even leave their cars days on end, travel and come back to them. But that is no longer the case since the parking permits have been introduced. A typical hour at the Shoprite's parking lot costs about N100 per hour, no sensible person will part with thousands of Naira just to park a car without having any business to do in Shoprite.
Shop rite shopping centers are usually housed in various huge malls like the Ikeja shopping mall, Maryland shopping mall, Dugbe Shopping mall, Lekki shopping mall, but as shoprite is the most famous store, most of the malls are wrongly referred to as Shoprite.

The Mayne Island Conservancy's next broom removal event will be at Henderson Park, Mayne Island, on February 7th, from 1 pm - 3 pm and we need volunteers!
This event follows our previous event's success of clearing 2.3 acres of previously treated area. By removing broom from these areas, we are ensuring that work already invested in cutting broom does not go to waste.
This event will again have staff and volunteers working in a previously treated area. We will be working in an easier part of the park terrain-wise, no hiking will be required and the ground is not steep (no sides of hills for this removal day).
We will meet at the parking lot by the kiosk. If you are unsure of how to get there please let us know. This is a great chance to get to know/enjoy Henderson Park and have some interesting conversations, all while getting some exercise.
All tools needed will be provided, we just ask that you bring suitable clothing, footwear and water.
The more volunteers the better, so if you know of anyone who might be interested please pass this on. Thanks!
Please RSVP to email@example.com or phone the office at (250) 539-5168.
For further information please contact Lauren Underhill email@example.com

Summary Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU AMD Athlon II X2 250 23 °C
A stick is compact but, until they come with 500GB sticks, methinks I'll stick to the HDDs. I keep a clone of the SDD in my notebook on one so, if the SSD goes completely belly up, I can pull the clone out of the enclosure and pop it into the notebook. The other HDD has images of the OS partitions, the recovery partition, and the data partition so I can easily restore the SSD if it should ever go wonky. I backup any data I generate while on the road to the clone HDD using FreeFileSync. Since the added data is confined to a single folder, it is easy to transfer the data to my desktop when I get home.
Thanks all.I notice that one of you use FreeFileSyncWould you say that is better than the one I use.It's the microsoft sync toy maybe it would be beeter for me I only use it to save documents photo's etc to another drive
Many Thanks once again.

If you are comfortable and satisfied with SyncToy, I would just stay with it. I feel FreeFileSync is better for me than SyncToy because it has the option to send deleted files to a versioning folder.

Considering what's likely to happen to the food supply in the next few decades, I'm quite glad to be in my last decades of existence for almost all the foods I love appear on various lists of endangered edibles.
A few tuna are still around, but the mercury keeps me from indulging. Also, according to everything I'm reading, commercial fishing will be history before mid-century, and I don't want contribute to moving that date closer.
Almonds, another favorite of mine, requires bee pollination. With the bee decline, "almond pollinator" may well be a future occupation for people. Boy, that'll bring down the price of almonds, won't it?
From what I'm reading, the general view is that food of any kind will be in dwindling and/or insufficient supply given climate change, soil depletion, fertilizer supply, insufficient fresh water, pollinator loss, you name it.
And then this morning, I read "Ghost Food: An Art Exhibit Shows How We Might Eat after Global Warming."
Peanuts and chocolate–two of my favorite food groups. Life without chocolate? I don't think so.

Today is Rory's 5th birthday! He's here to give you a high 5:
On Sunday we completed our biggest challenge to raise money for Cats Protection, the 96 mile West Highland Way Trek. It was tough going and I think I'll be recovering for a couple of weeks!
As this is the main challenge I have wrote about our trek on it's own page here: West Highland Way Trek
Although I am taking part in a number of challenges this year for Cats Protection the main event is definitely the West Highland Way trek, which I'm doing with my husband Paul.
The West Highland Way is 96 miles long and we plan to walk it over five days. To add to the challenge we're going to be camping all the way and carrying our things. Five days is a stretch for us as most guides recommend walking over seven or eight days. Continue reading →
Scotland isn't known for it's sunny weather but recently we have been fortunate to have quite a few days of sunshine. Rory and Mac have been making the most of it. Here are some pictures of them enjoying themselves outside.

Just a quick post to show you a recently completed trinket box from Twiddleybitz.
I originally painted it all blue but then didn't like it very much so set to work with my alcohol inks!
Then to make it fancy I added flowers and charms (coloured with liquid pearls) and a bit of Flourish With A Bling...
And then I coloured some Muslin with coloursprays to make an insert, attaching it with hot glue.
I am very happy with the outcome, so much so that now I'm thinking I'll have to make something else for Mum as I want to keep this!
Here's a photo of the products I used (minus the original undercoat of paint), all flowers and charms are from My2Angels.
Thanks for stopping by

Macbook To LaCie: My Tech Christmas Wish List
Christmas is next week and I have seriously waited until the last minute to tell my family what I want for Christmas. It's actually a little off character for me to wait so long, typically I have a list at any given moment. This is my tech list and I know some of these are strictly dream items, but hey, I'm a dreamer!
• iPhone/iPod Docking Station, $148.00: This is a dual wish, I want this double docking station for mine and my SO's iPhones. Right now we plug our phones in at night and either have the rest on the bed or our bedside tables. This way, they could conveniently be right next to each other.
• Macbook Air, $999.99 +: Call me crazy, but after checking this out at the Apple store, I actually really want one. My current computer is a few years old and I would love to have a music computer (my current, for Djing) and a work computer (the Air, for work). Plus, it'd be really great for traveling since I do not want an iPad.
• Moxi Mate, $299.00: I currently have a Moxi HD DVR , It works so great and now I want a second to be used for the TV we have in our office. No more aruging with the SO because I'm watching Teen Mom and he wants to watch Predator.
• Fisheye, Macro, and Wide Angle Camera Phone Lenses, $20.00-$40.00: Yes, I really want these. I take so many pictures with my iPhone because it's the most easily accessible camera for quick shots. These would be so fun to carry around when I'm out and take a pretty stellar photo. Plus, I can wear one as a necklace while I'm not using it.
• Aphrodite USB Hub, $36.00: Believe it or not, I don't currently own a USB Hub. I've always wanted one, but didn't want to drop money on an ugly one — I'm a firm believer that your tech shouldn't and doesn't have to ruin or offset your style. This fits right in with mine.
• Pro-Ject Debut III in White, $399.00: Our record player broke a long time ago. I haven't bought a new one because I wanted to find just the perfect one. The Pro-Ject Debut III seems like the perfect one to me. Modern design, sleek colors and great sound quality.
• Eley Kishimoto Slider, $49.95: I just got an iPhone 4 and I'm pretty scared the glass back is going to crack. I turned to Incase and found this stellar slider case. I finally decided on this after also looking at the Blue Ping Pong and White Perforated Snap Case.
• The Camera Lens Mug, $24.00 for Canon, $30.00 for Nikon: I'm not sure which one I would want. I love my Canon G series, but I also really love my Nikon D2X.
• LaCie Brick Desktop Hard Drive, $99.99: The Brick Desktop Hard Drive is one of the coolest and most inexpensive drives I've seen in a while. The drives come in red, white or blue and are all 1TB, buy one or all three and stack them on your desk. If something goes wrong (like overheating), don't worry — they come with a 2 year warranty. USB 2.0.
• BOOK BOOK, $79.99 – $99.99: A laptop case made to look like vintage books. It's durable yet lightweight and is easily disguised as books in a playful way. Right now I have a matte black Incase laptop case, and I'm wanting something a bit more playful.
What's your tech wish list?

Top Ten 2014
The year is almost over, as I wait for the Christmas lunch to go down to make-way for tonight's huge stew… Four days off work, no money, a crap internet provider, and last second doubts about my latest ramblings in "Wear a Flower In Your Hair – a dialogue with Sadie Mae Glutz" (I know, a really catchy name, eh) which will probably be justified at multiple levels.
As they say, "publish and be damned!". That is me. As I'm waiting for the next pay check, and living off my savings here's a quick look at my Top Ten of books, films…and anything else that was my life in 2014:
10. "Fallen Angel" by John Ling
9. "Tijuana Nights" by Leigh K. Hunt
8. Visiting Akaroa, New Zealand
7. Enjoying the company of a brilliant and fantastic person who has her whole life ahead of her, and inspiration for a character (she will never know who exactly unless she reads the books). A-Cee we're gonna do lunch one day.
6. "Transcendence"
5. "London Dusk" by Leigh K. Hunt
4. The Equalizer
3. Interstellar – continuing a retro trip into deep space in incredible, mind-blowing fashion.
2. Climbing Mt. Sugarloaf, Christchurch, NZ
1. Finishing "Wear a Flower In Your Hair – a dialogue with Sadie Mae Glutz"
There are heaps and heaps of things I've done this year, and not all of them would ever rank as "best" moments. Let us just hope that next year brings a new impetus and getting at least one feature screenplay finished. Fingers crossed.

Here are the Easter outfits for this year. I really debated about the bow-ties. If you love bow-ties then this is not meant to offend, but I think they are kind of geeky. I know they seem to be more in for kids lately. I am still getting used to them. Jayce did have to deal with some ribbing from his class mates. I need to get the boys a belt that can be worn with something other than wranglers. Oh, and if you notice Grahm's hair - not me. He really wants Bieber Hair - he is in Kindergarten for Pete's Sake. I do have him talked into short hair for the summer. I am going to try and get better pictures of the kids when they are in better moods and we are not rushed for church.
Charlotte's dress was really fun to make (not to iron, pleats give me such fits). The trim I got on e-bay, I think it is from the 70's, but it was perfect.
Grahm was coerced with the promise of 1 crazy picture at the end. Here it is.

Twenty (gasp) Years Ago Today....
The reason I was posting a lot of videos from 1991 was because I had made the bold decision to move to Seattle on my own. I had gotten restless after I graduated from SVA and wanted to explore other parts of the country. It was hugely expensive to live in NYC and Hoboken and Jersey City hadn't revived itself into the hipster mecca it is today.
I had been wanting to head to a part of the country that would be the closest to what the Village in NYC was in the mid 60s and San Francisco in the late 60s. It had to somewhat cheap, On the cusp of a cultural Renaissance and had a major league baseball team. My plan was to explore the west coast, settle in the city I chose and conquer it with whatever creative explosion I could come up with. I knew I was going to chose Seattle, But I wanted to explore much of the west coast first.
I had documented my trip in a journal and I am transcribing it to my blog now. I wanted to try to recapture my goals and aspirations I had at 24. What follows is verbatum what I wrote with corrections only in spelling (Unless it's funny)and punctuation.
Aug, 14, 1991.
I'm finally in Seattle and I want to go home!!! Well, actually I haven't left the airport yet. It's been a "Duh! I'm so stupid" or a "Sob! I don't know what to do" day. My first task on this trip is to get to a "Y" to shack up for a few days. I missed the bus I needed to get only because I was waiting for it at the wrong spot. I got too much shit!! Oh well, moire incentive to get a job quick and an apartment. I've changed my agenda a little. I'll be here through the weekend. On Sunday I'll take a bus to Portland and spend the weekday(s) there and go to S. Fran on the weekend and stay a week there. I might do the hostel thing but later. I'm scared and alone. I hope things work out.
2011 Update: I had missed my direct flight to Seattle (I was just out of listening distance of the boarding flights)and had to rebook a flight that took me to Denver first. I was lugging two huge backpacks with too many unnecessary items. And I was alone to figure things out in a pre-World Wide Web world.

Self Motivation: A Struggle
I have worked on and off since I was 14. I picked up a paper route because my parents gave me less money than I wanted to spend. Since then, I haven't gone more than a couple months without a job. My main motivation has always been money. I need a job to sustain both my lifestyle and to pay my bills (what few a I currently have at this stage in my life).
Though my experience in the workforce is relatively short, I have noticed one thing: self-motivated people may be the most beneficial, even vital, employees and partners to work with. These are people that increase team morale almost effortlessly. They do not drain the team of energy and they are very dependable people. This is something I, unfortunately, struggle with. To all the employers out there, hear it from me first: I am not self-motivated...yet.
I am working on it. I see the self-motivated, who they are and what they do. A friend of mine that I work with, named Evan for confidentiality's sake, epitomizes what it means to be self-motivated. Every day at Whole Foods, he has a smile on. He is intentionally and actively engaged with customers. He is involved in conversation, not peddling idle small talk. I'm not the only one who notices, too. Almost every month, he is rewarded via team vote or customer satisfaction. This is an employee everyone should want.
For me, I'm almost entirely dependent on my circumstances. Don't get me wrong, I have my good days when I'm on top of the world. However, as I recently revealed in a recent blog post, I am feeling unfilled in my work lately. I have lost so much motivation because I currently do not care about the work I'm doing at my university. I see it as busy work, a source of anxiety and a waste of time.
When I care about something, I get very invested. I can talk about travel and airlines for days. I love business and capitalism and what they can do to society. Theology or philosophy? You got it. A couple years ago, I went out for coffee with a friend; what was supposed to be a short homework session turned into a five hour conversation about human relationships. When I care about something, I go all in. But when I'm expected to complete an event evaluation report, create a survey or curate social media posts for some no-name organization I hadn't heard of until a week prior, I am much less enthusiastic. The truth is, I do not care. With this reality comes a poor attitude and usually poor work product. No one can fix this except me.
However, on the flip side, you know what you get with me. If I care, I will be solely invested in what I'm doing. This is not an excuse or a rationalization; it's a reality, for better or worse. Regardless, I will continue to improve myself because I want to be a valuable asset for any future employer. I know I am far (so, so far...) from being the ideal, young professional. I hate the idea of being detrimental to a team. I cannot and will not let self-motivation (or lack thereof) hold me back in the future.
Entrepreneur lists 10 tips here to help get entrepreneurs motivated.
Last week, Huffington Post published an article titled "Why You're Not Staying Motivated, and What to Do About It." While the article raises a few good points, there is one I take issue with: "ground yourself." I am not entirely against the premise of this point, especially since the author is most likely arguing in favor of breaking big goals into smaller milestones. If one is making completely unattainable goals, he or she will be very disappointed when the goal is not reached. However, I would argue that a truly self-motivated person (or someone aspiring to self-motivation) does not need success to stay motivated. After all, some of the biggest names in business have suffered failures and setbacks. Thinking big has contributed to the creation of some of this world's most innovative brands and inventions. The Internet of Things, the "sharing economy" and so many other general, big ideas and trends have birthed countless inventions.
Think big always.

Affirmations are positive, affirmative statements that you can use to change your subconscious thoughts to help you achieve your goals. We have an estimated 60,000 thoughts each day. The tone and content of these thoughts is a conditioned by years of life experience, and beliefs about ourselves we have developed from things we hear, infer, and repeat to ourselves. By creating powerful affirmations we can begin to change the beliefs we hold, and this change in thinking affects change in our behaviors.
Use positive statements in the present tense. Avoid words like dont wont which trigger a negative response. Instead of saying I will say I am.
Repetition is important to rewriting the self-limiting thoughts we have. Repeat your affirmations at least three times each day. Write them down and place somewhere you will frequently see them like your bathroom mirror or dash of your car.
While there are many affirmations available online, the most powerful ones are those truly authentic to your goals.
This delicious shredded chicken is perfect for topping salads, lettuce wraps, or rice bowls. So versatile and freezes great too!

·1/2 teaspoon eachblack pepper and cayenne pepper
Place all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 5 hours.
Remove chicken, shred with two forks, then return to liquids for one hour.

Later this month kids of all ages will be partaking in Halloween and receiving huge amounts of sugary confections. Excess sugar depresses your body's immune responses, impairing the body's ability to adapt and heal. This year consider handing out non-sugar treats such as fun pencils, glow sticks, or bottles of water. And when your kids come home with their loot, consider offering them a wanted toy, book or activity voucher in exchange for some or all of their candy. With a little creativity, the fun of Halloween doesn't have to come at the expense of health.
Probiotics are a supplement of live, helpful bacteria used to improve intestinal health by restoring or elevating levels of "good" bacteria to diminish the population of harmful bacteria.
Bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract are part of a healthy, thriving body but their populations may be altered by illness, antibiotic use, ingestion of modified foods, and inflammation. What we eat and drink changes the populations that live in our gut. This also holds true for the littlest family members.
Health begins in the gut--80% of the immune system lives in the digestive tract. A healthy population of good bacteria can be very effective in treating causes of diarrhea, constipation, gassiness, reflux, thrush, eczema; and improving resistance to illness like influenza or the common cold.
Many food products in the grocery store now advertise containing probiotic cultures, but how active or plentiful are these cultures may be is up for debate, that is why choosing a high quality, easy to take supplement is a great way to support your family's health. In addition to capcules and chewable tablets, powdered probiotics are available that can be applied directly to breast or bottle for infants, or esasily mixed into a smoothie or applesauce for older children. Quality is essential, as the cultures must be live and in sufficient quantity to provide benefits.
