The recipe called for a ham hock, but I had the Christmas ham bone in the freezer, so was dead pleased to use that up. One of the key ingredients was Kale, which I had never eaten, so that was another reason I wanted to use the recipe. We both thoroughly enjoyed it, and I will be making this again. Next time though, I am going to try it with Silverbeet instead of the Kale, see which of the two I prefer.
Now I have realised that anyone o/s will need a translation - wuss = wimp. (giggle).
My work room is a tip! But look at the satisfying bunch of stuff I am putting out.
This all came about because a friend asked me to dispose of "some" craft stuff when she was downsizing. What arrived was an absolute truckload! I was able to dispose of some of the things to various places, but when I tried to take the Folk Art supplies to the craft op-shop I go to, they refused it because they can't sell that sort of stuff. By this time my friend had sold her house and left for a country town, so well out of reach for me to return it. I decided to try to sell it and give the money to charity. Once I had made the decision to sell it, I thought of going to a car boot sale, but that seemed like a lot of hassle, so garage sale it is. My daughter is going to set up a table too, so I'll have company, and there will be more variety of goods.
Not all the stuff is from my friend. I decided it would be a good plan to cull some of my excess as well, so I have been through my cupboards. What a great feeling! Whatever doesn't sell on Saturday, I'll give to the Salvos - they have a big op shop near us. I am planning to give the proceeds of the sale to Stitching Hearts. We badly need some yardage for backings etc.
I've been using my cutting table as a sorting depot. This afternoon, I cleared a corner because I had had enough of sorting, and was desperate for some sew time. Just look at this mess. Tidying that up will have to be my job for next week after the sale. And I am not going to show you the table in my work room. That is even worse.
So this afternoon I made up some Disappearing 4-Patch blocks for Aussie Heroes from their tutorial for the June BOM. This is the first batch...
Such a simple pattern! Yet I managed to make a mess of it on the first block. Booooo Hissssss. Once you make the 4-patch, you are supposed to make the first cut at 5.5" from the left edge, and then another 3.5" further to the right. Well I made the first cut at 5" didn't I, and didn't see my mistake until I had made the second cut. And of course I didn't have enough of the red fabric to simply replace the damaged bit. I ended up piecing together two smaller pieces. Then I noticed that on the second block I made, the stripes on the cream blocks AND the brick pattern on the red, were going every which way. Bummer! So I unpicked that block and remade it with all the stripes and the bricks going the right way. I guess there would be lots who wouldn't have done that, but I just couldn't leave it.
This afternoon's post brought two cute little stitchery patterns I ordered from Michelle Ridgeway who blogs here. Here they are, complete with the shadow of me taking the photo.
I can see me using the alphabet a lot, and the little Christmas decorations will be fun to stitch. You can see the rest of the lovely designs she sells on her blog.
The other bit of sewing I have done this week I shall have to show another time. It has been rainy and dull, so the photo I took was crummy. I'll wait for a bit of sunshine to take another.
Til next time.....Keep on stitching.

These are so good that I'm pretty much blogging drunk at this point after having over a litre of them.
The authenticity of the recipe is heavily debated, but I find this the best.
For 1 mint julep:
- 60ml of good bourbon (don't skimp for recipes with few ingredients)
- 1 teaspoon of sugar (caster/white)
- Splash of mineral or sparkling water
- 6-8 Mint leaves
How to:
- Put all but 1 of the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker or large glass.
- Add the sugar and gently mix together with a spoon, being careful not to be rough on the mint.
- Add the bourbon and water and mix again, gently.
- Taste it. Every bourbon has different levels of sweetness. Adjust with water, bourbon or sugar if necessary.
- In a lowball (short) glass, fill with ice--ideally, cubes of ice on the bottom and shavings on top.
- Add the remaining mint leaf.
- Pour over the booze mixture.
Mint julep time, son.
Time to enjoy slavery and/or horse racing and/or land ownership and/or white suits.

A very simple card today as my first DT offering for this months' challenge, which is Create A Garden.
I have to admit to being a little short of time this month, so this one is really very simple.
When an old aunt died, I acquired her large box of embroidery designs, many of which must be somewhere around 100 years old. When trying to decide what to do with them I realised that some of them would make good digi prints, so I scanned all those I liked.
This has been printed onto the Clarity shiny card, and allowed to dry for just over 48 hours. Anything around that time, as long as possible,, allows the ink to set, so that it does not bleed when you colour in.
You still need to take care. I used Promarkers to colour the image, with Adirondack ink pads to give me the background grass and sky. You can get quite a good depth of colour with Promarkers, and shading, especially if you give them a chance to dry between layers.
I like using things that would otherwise be thrown away - I would never have time to turn all these into true embroideries - but this way, the designs live again.
Now, I hope you will all go over to http://craftascene.blogspot.co.uk/ where you will find full details of this month's challenge, and the rules you need to stick to. Do have a go and let us see how beautiful is your garden.

While we all wait for the expected new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer release later today, let's enjoy these new promotional posters featuring Kylo Ren and those fabulous new stormtroopers. Who knows, by the end of the day we might even know officially which actor is playing Kylo Ren.
There was also a new Stormtrooper poster:
Yes Virginia, that is a flamethrower… don't you remember this scene from Star Wars?
Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru didn't get that way through blaster fire, no matter how precise. That trooper on the last poster with the bad ass poncho cloak, that must be the Silver-plated Trooper we've all been hear so many rumors about.
That sound you just heard was thousands of Star Wars Cosplayers cranking up their sewing machines.
Help us J.J. Abrams… you're our only hope.
What do you think, are you ready to get your Force on?

'Freedom from care and anxiety of mind is a blessing, which I apprehend such people enjoy in higher perfection than most others, and is of the utmost consequence.'
'The accumulation of numbers always augments in some measure moral corruptions, and the consequences to health of the various vices incident thereto, are well known.'
'Mental agitations and eating cares are more injurious to health, and destructive of life, than is commonly imagined, and could their effects be collected, would make no inconsiderable figure in the bills of mortality.'
'Nor is it the least advantage to health, accruing from such a way of life, that it expose those who follow it to fewer temptations to vice, than persons who live in crowded society.'

Nigerian strike over fuel prices expands
LAGOS, NIGERIA - Nigerians angry at rising fuel prices expanded a nationwide strike today that has helped push world oil prices to record highs.
There was no immediate impact on the flow of oil from this volatile West African nation, the continent's largest oil producer and the fifth-biggest source of U.S. oil imports.
Streets in the normally bustling commercial capital of Lagos were deserted for a second day as police with assault rifles guarded major intersections.
"The strike is going on. It is entering its second day," said Owei Lekeimfa, spokesman for the Nigeria Labor Congress, the country's biggest labor federation.
The work stoppage is to last four days.
"Production is not affected," said a Udom Inoyo, a spokesman for Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil, the second biggest producer in Nigeria. He declined to elaborate on staffing levels at the firm.
An official for Royal Dutch/Shell, which accounts for roughly half of Nigeria's oil exports, said its executive offices in Lagos were roughly "40 percent" staffed, and that the company has put in "measures to downplay the effect,"
Other major cities were shut down by the strike, although taxis and many private businesses were still open in the capital, Abuja.
Hundreds of protesters took to almost deserted streets in Lagos and the northern city of Kano on Monday, as most workers stayed at home in response to the strike call. In Kano, police said a 12-year-old boy was killed in clashes between police and protesters.
The strike spread in some cities on Tuesday. Nigeria's large market in the southeastern city of Onitsha -- a bazaar for everything from locally made car parts to groceries -- shut down.
"Yesterday our shops were open ... but today the market unions have asked us to shut our shops and there will be no business," Chi Osiuwe, a market trader, said by telephone from Onitsha.
Crude for November delivery rose as high as $54.14 in electronic trading Tuesday after settling Monday at a record $53.64 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Traders said the Nigerian strike raised supply fears at a time of reduced output in the hurricane-ravaged Gulf of Mexico.
Union leaders are demanding the government reverse hikes last month that saw the price of fuel in Nigeria rise from about $1.19 a gallon to $1.50 a gallon.
The fuel market was deregulated last year, prompting a series of price hikes that were met with widespread protests.
A general strike shut down businesses in Lagos and several other cities for eight days, prompting a government crackdown during which police killed at least 11 protesters.

Sex Differences in Autonomic Response to Exercise Testing in Patients with Brugada Syndrome
Introduction: Cardiac events in patients with Brugada syndrome (BS) typically occur at rest and mainly during sleep, suggesting that changes in autonomic modulation play an important role in the arrhythmogenesis of the disease. Moreover, sex differences in clinical manifestations of BS have been reported, identifying male patients with worse prognosis. The aim of our work was to assess and compare, according to sex, autonomic response to exercise in a clinical series including 105 BS patients.
Method: Standard 12-lead electrocardiogram recordings were collected during a physical stress test divided into four phases: warm-up, incremental exercise, active recovery, and passive recovery. Spectral non-stationary heart rate variability indicators were extracted by means of a smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution approach that adapts frequency bands to respiratory information. These indicators were then averaged in non-overlapped windows of 1 min for each patient to compare groups at each minute of the physical stress test.
Results: From the last minute of warm-up and until the third minute of incremental exercise, asymptomatic male patients presented significantly greater low-frequency (LF) values (\( \overline{{\mathrm{LF}}^{WU2}} \): p = 0.015;\( \overline{{\mathrm{LF}}^{EX1}} \): p = 0.024; \( \overline{{\mathrm{LF}}^{EX2}} \): p = 0.011; \( \overline{{\mathrm{LF}}^{EX3}} \): p = 0.002) than asymptomatic females. Conversely, asymptomatic women showed increased vagal modulation during the first minutes of incremental exercise (\( \overline{{\mathrm{HF}}^{EX1}} \): p = 0.031; \( \overline{{\mathrm{HF}}^{EX2}} \): p = 0.001). However, no significant differences were observed between symptomatic male and female patients.
Conclusion: As previously reported in healthy subjects, enhanced parasympathetic and decreased sympathetic tones appear to be not only greater in women but also defensive during cardiac stress. Based on the results, asymptomatic patients presented same-sex tendencies. However, we observed that symptomatic males developed a more female-like autonomic modulation, probably related to a more protective autonomic response to exercise. These results could be a step forward toward the understanding of the autonomic function in BS along with a potential impact on risk stratification.

What got you into Asian dramas/movies?
China Doll
one of the greatest asian porno vids i have ever seen in mah life!!!!
i like -----< nana > this movie alot
but sadly i haven't watch the < nana2 > yet........so sad
i will be so aprreciate if somebody can help to upload this movie.....thanx
I Like their Stories...
bcos im asian.. lol
Now U see Now u Don't
hahaz...i agree with jbriot... cos i'm an asian... some jap and korean series are quite meaningful anyway.. you get to learn something from those stories...
it is different in plots, actor/actress, storyline... lol... overall asian dramas + anime is the best!
ne sarang daehanminguk!!
Must think about that one let me see..... yeah... I'm started study japanese and when I've study it in a half year i thought that a good way learning it would be to look at movies and dramas from japan, then I'm just can't get enough... Now I've watched over 18 japanese dramas and 21 movies.... and for a while ago I started look at korean to
for a start i am not into dramas anyway but ever since i watched It started with a kiss i just suddenly got addicted to taiwanese drama, follwing on Devil besides you and Hana Kimi.. and recently just finished Tokyo Juliet.. though until now i still don't watch a lot of dramas, but if anyone suggest me to watch a certain taiwanese drama i would definitely go for it if i have time~~~
taiwanese dramas are just soooo funny (and love the romances in it* ) and especially those dramas with my fav stars such as Jiro and Mike etc...but so not into TVB dramas except some
for movies i like japanese ones* not those horror ones!!!!! but those with romance and touching ones (though sometimes they are just too depressing to watch)
(not longer active in CR)
i can say becoz i'm an asian too. but generally, i'll say becoz the variety of languages, cultures and how they present jokes eaither tru dialect or action.
to facebook~
Hmmm...it must have been all the Hong Kong dramas I watch with my parents, then my friends started to influence me on K-dramas, lol!
i was flippin channels and came across the azn one...i was curious abt wat kinda stuff they'd show, and i came across a drama with really good actors...i found myself goin back to that channel for other shows, when i eventually took it online and here to CR! x]
hmm could be that i`m asian buttttt I grew up around it so that sums it up.
The BonBon He Lives!!! Mwahahaha *Cough @[email protected] awkwardddddd
Lee Dong Wook went to da philippines n it went on da filipino channel here in da U.S. n i got curious y everyone was so into him (since i dont live there anymore i wouldnt know) n da my girl series so i started to watch that now im totally addicted to dramas n da whole asian culture mostly korean.. i've watch about 40 series n 30 movies in 7 months...
Proud Anti's actually love the artist but is currently in the denial stage.
Well, my family is a huge fan of dramas. Since my grandma and aunties always watch it on television, the first drama I watched was Full House. It was just so interesting and hilarious, and I decide dto start watching more. =] I wasn't a much big fan of watching anime (but I love reading it!), so I decided to give dramas a shot, and voila! I'm so hooked on it now!
i've always watched thai lakorns (dramas) since i was a little girl and i used to watched chinese series with my dad so i always liked it. but it wasnt until last year where i saw full house and got REALLY into other types of dramas such as Kdrama, Jdrama and Tdrama. i<3it!!

text: When I use the Google Map app in my car, it seems that everythingon the map is reversed (landmarks on the left side of the map are really on my right when driving) and the map feeds from the top and goes foward to the bottom of the screen. If I turn the Droid upside down to put the landmarks on the correct side of the map then the text is upside down. Is there a way to change google maps to show the landmarks on my correct side of the road with the proper orientation of the text too? My old GPS (an old Garmin I think) showed everything on the correct side of the road and also feed from bottom to top. Any ideas?

FRAMINGHAM (06/26/2000) - Cisco Systems Inc. on Monday announced that it has added a standard protocol to its QoS policy management software that enables users to deploy multivendor policy servers in their networks.
Cisco rolled out COPS QoS Policy Manager (QPM-COPS) software designed to provide customers with guaranteed quality of service for data, voice and video traffic on enterprise networks. QPM-COPS also has a directory interface for aligning QoS policies with user information stored in the directory.
QPM-COPS has pre-defined service templates that enable users to define and provision differentiated services across the enterprise network. Network administrators can provision service levels such as "real-time traffic" or "mission critical traffic" network-wide and deliver these service levels to selected users or applications, Cisco says.
Through its directory interface, QPM-COPS is able to share policy information with other directory-enabled applications, Cisco says. Additionally, QPM-COPS can publish information to enterprise directories according to the Directory Enabled Network policy schema in development in the Distributed Management Task Force and IETF, the company says.
QPM 1.1 with QPM-COPS is available now for US$9,995.

Blue Revue
"Gems to Gents"
In the Omaha Metropolitan Area, there are currently several annual social events and programs which focus on the accomplishments of minority young ladies. On the contrary, there are few local events which focus on the accomplishments of minority young men, particularly African American males.
The ladies of Zeta Phi Beta Nebraska aim to change this reality by creating a new tradition known as the Annual Blue Revue to celebrate and recognize our young African American males, 'Our Gems'.
What is the Blue Revue?
An annual fundraising event sponsored by ladies of Zeta Phi Beta Nebraska to help support community programs and scholarships awarded by the sponsoring organization.
This event is a formal showcase of 15-20 boys in first through fourth grade in full tuxedos with tails.
The event will consist of introductions of each participant, a mini fashion show, and an individually choreographed dance for the boys as well as with their moms. This event will last approximately two hours.

Orchiectomy had the greatest impact on the risk of colorectal cancer, whereas treatment with GnRH had a more modest effect, according to an article published online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Regardless of the type of ADT, the risk of colorectal cancer increased with the duration of treatment (P=0.010).
"The study results have important implications for men with prostate cancer who are receiving or contemplating initiation of androgen deprivation therapy," Silke Gillessen, MD, of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and co-authors wrote in the discussion of their findings.
"Despite a moderate relative risk for colorectal cancer, the impact may nevertheless be large, given that hundreds of thousands of men are on androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer."
The implications could extend beyond ADT for prostate cancer to the broader issue of androgen deficiency, which affects an estimated 2.4 million men in the U.S. at an annual rate of 500,000, they added.
The investigators' interest in the association between ADT and colorectal cancer began with their discovery of monozygotic twins who developed colon cancers following ADT for prostate cancer (Fam Cancer 2009; 8: 167-171).
To determine whether the observation might have broader implications, Gillessen and co-authors searched the Medicare-linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database for men who had newly diagnosed prostate cancer from 1993 through 2002.
Limiting the search to men ages 67 and older at diagnosis, they identified 107,859 men who had follow-up through 2004 (mean follow-up of 59.4 months). Of those, 55,901 received ADT during the study period, including 50,097 treated with GnRH agonists and 5,804 patients who underwent orchiectomy.
Prostate cancer patients who did not receive ADT had an unadjusted colorectal cancer rate of 3.7 cancers per 1,000 person years.
With GnRH therapy the rate increased to 4.4 cases per 1,000 person-years, and then to 6.3 cases per 1,000 person-years among the men who underwent surgical castration.
"This pattern was generally consistent within strata of patient and prostate cancer characteristics," the authors noted.
The orchiectomy group did have a significantly higher proportion of tumors that were poorly differentiated or undifferentiated (P=0.013).
Examination of colorectal cancer risk as a function of ADT duration showed a gradient of increasing risk as the duration of ADT increased.
Men who received GnRH agonists for 24 months or less had an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.19 for colon cancer risk.
The hazard increased to 1.31 for 25 months or more and to 1.37 for men who underwent orchiectomy (P=0.01).
After adjustment for men who received radiation therapy (possibly associated with an increased risk of rectal cancer), the results remained essentially unchanged, as did an analysis that excluded rectal cancers.
Limitations of the study included its observational design, which left the possibility of confounders such as obesity; and the inability to extrapolate to younger patients with prostate cancer or other patients with androgen deprivation but without prostate cancer.
"This study provides strong evidence to link androgen deprivation therapy in the setting of prostate cancer to an increased risk of colorectal cancer," the authors wrote in their summation.
"There was also a statistically significant dose-response effect, with a higher risk of colorectal cancer with an increasing duration of androgen deprivation, providing support that the observed association between androgen deprivation and colorectal cancer may be causal," they added.
The findings suggest another factor that might warrant consideration in decision making related to ADT, authors of an accompanying editorial suggested.
"The findings of Gillessen et al. suggest that an elevated risk of colorectal cancer may be an additional consideration to weigh in the risk versus benefit profile," said Jennifer Lin, PhD, of Harvard Medical School, and Edward Giovannucci, MD, ScD, of the Harvard School of Public Health.
"Their findings also reinforce the need for routine screening for colorectal cancer and the adoption of lifestyle practices such as physical activity that may help to counter some of the drawbacks of anti-androgen therapies."
The study was supported by NCI, Sassella Stiftung Zurich, and Union Bank of Switzerland.
The authors of the article and editorial had no relevant disclosures.

Mud is a limited release picture (so far) which I was fortunate enough to have released in my city. If perchance it is in your area I highly recommend seeing it as it is easily the best film that's going to come out for another 4-6 months and could well be the best film released this year. It centers on Matthew McConaughey playing a would be homeless person on an abandoned island in the middle of a water moccasin infested river; a dangerous place to be sure. He's visited by 2 young strapping middle schoolers and he immediately begs them for food. Yet, Mud is a mysterious individual and intrigues the boys who continue to help him for the rest of the film.
I won't spoil the rest of the plot but suffice to say it deals with numerous powerful themes and has multiple extremely well done father-son relationships that contrast with each other remarkably. The film's other message is basically "don't trust women," but it isn't done heavy handedly and it's not universal. Obviously the director or writer or someone had issues with a divorce as either a youth or an adult and this is his way of dealing with that period of his life.
This movie could have been bad for a huge number of reasons, the subject material is difficult, the acting had to be good from almost everyone, and it still delivers. The script is excellent, several of the scenes are extremely memorable and scream "Oscar worthy performance," and the film ends well even though it easily could have gone off the rails. Even the one mediocre scene in the picture is used to tie up another loose end and teach another morality lesson; while that entire subplot is perhaps unnecessary it does serve to better flesh out the teenager's character (who is the protagonist).
In addition to the basic more obvious thematic elements there are also very strong rich vs poor, urban vs rural, and law vs vigilante dichotomies that play out in the picture. One of the last fringe elements of rural American life is being threatened both internally and externally; but it is wisely constructed in the sense that there is no over-arching political message that the film embeds here (as would usually occur); it's simply a sort of mournful look at the late game impacts of Manifest Destiny gradually destroying the locals' way of life. Mud is superb, well-acted, well-constructed, and badly advertised; I can only hope someone goes to see it as a result of reading this.

think rationally about the whole thing by conducting an

2. test with an experiment: make and eat a microwaved mug brownie
3. analyze results and draw conclusions: i can do so in about an hour.
i'll let you all know the results of my experiment later. for
now, i need to go buy some milk to wash this mug of decadence

Jesse Berst had an interesting post on his SmartGrid News blog saying that smart grid progress was going better than expected but was about to get worse. It describes his recent conversation with eMeter's Chris King about the pace of meter installations. Jesse compares the answer from Chris with the conventional wisdom in the industry that we should reach 20 to 25% smart meter market penetration by 2020. Chris King's view is it will happen much faster with his estimate of 50 million smart meters by then. The faster pace is confirmed by a separate report from Pike Research which suggests we could get to the 25% market penetration tipping point by as early as 2013.
So what? That sounds like good news, right?
Not necessarily. The fast tracking of smart meter installation has been artificially accelerated by stimulus money and a lot of meters are being bought and installed. The 'not necessarily' part of the answer is the rest of the transformation infrastructure is not as sexy or subsidized so it will take longer—maybe much longer to implement.
What are you talking about?
Smart meters are really pretty dumb without the software and other technology to turn the data collected into useful insight. There is the messy business of interoperability and whether all these Silicon Valley start-ups hoping to build a better sensor, dashboard, meter data management software and other applications can get their act together so all this stuff plays 'nice' together.
So if we have smart meters and smart gadget attachments we need the smart operating system to make it work. This part of the smart grid puzzle is shaping up like the Star Wars trilogies as a competition between good and evil, between rebellious Jedi Knights and the more powerful Empire. In this competition we do not yet know who is Luke Skywalker and who is Darth Vader.
We do know this—while the cleantech forces of Jedi Knights are busy skirmishing over smart grid market dominance and the competition to build end-to-end solutions to actually make it all work, the Empire is working—or not working more accurately—to frustrate the Jedi aspirations for a new Republic of competitive smart grid enabled entrepreneurs. And there are two Death Stars in their arsenal waiting for the right moment.
Those Death Stars are:
- Interstate Electric Transmission
- Dynamic Pricing
The empire knows that the traditional utility business model relies upon regulatory fragmentation, protected service territories and the torture of NIMBY resistance to building transmission lines. The Empire does enough transmission construction to keep its regulators assuaged and enable access to enough renewable energy resources to meet its RPS obligations—-and no more.
But without substantial new interstate electric transmission to enable smart grid Jedi to scale their business enough to survive the expected fall in market penetration after the stimulus money dries up, the republic will fail to thrive as a massive wave of consolidation sweeps the cleantech crowd leaving only a few big players standing. Much as we have seen in the wind and solar energy spaces, it takes deep pockets and scale to compete with China and play in broad global markets. Start-ups are no match for the Empire even if a few of them might get lucky.
The other Death Star is dynamic pricing. Today the Empire protects itself with average cost pricing embedding in the regulatory compact for generations to protect ratepayers from price volatility. But a smart grid enabled work that depends upon demand response, energy efficiency and new technology and gadget sales needs volatility to assure that end users make choices that promote the scaling of their products. If ratepayers continue to be protected by average cost pricing in rate structures and budget billing plans all the incentive to do something different goes away—-and with it the market share growth and recurring revenue from incremental sales after the stimulus. Life in calm water is a terrible place for a surfer who needs a Maverick's size wave to win the competition.
Guess what?
My guess is there is no better than a 50/50 probability that the Federal Government and the State will get together to build enough interstate electric transmission to make a competitive, profitable smart grid market. Nor will regulators and terrified politicians be willing to risk the wrath of voters by adopting dynamic pricing that subjects end use residential customers to electric or gas price volatility enough to get the demand response and energy efficiency the smart grid enabled vendors need to scale their Jedi enterprises.
Expect to see a substantial consolidation in the energy cleantech space that is already underway accelerate to warp speed as soon as smart meter installations start to fall off. The big players see it coming and are doubling down for market share growth now, but lower future installation forecasts will displease investors as Jesse correctly suggests. Smaller players with a good product in need of a sufficient solution to plug it into better get their deals done or start 'putting lipstick on their pig' and head for the exits.
The Death Star in Star Wars was defeated by determined Jedi who did not give up—and that might happen here too. But the Bakersfield Effect of negative ratepayer reaction to the unintended consequences or confluence of forces surrounding smart meter installations suggests—it 'ain't gonna happen on my watch' as the mantra of most politicians and regulators for the foreseeable future.
For that reason I think smart grid is peaking too soon and a lot of smart meters will end up saving the Empire the labor costs of manually reading meters—and not much more—until we know who Luke Skywalker is and in which prequel scenario the evolving smart grid rules suggest we are playing.
Then again the other question is who will be Darth Vader?

SAN FRANCISCO, CA --A young girl separated from her family for several years is now reunited with her loved ones after arriving in San Francisco Sunday.
Eman Ali is a little girl whose parents are both U.S. citizens. Her siblings already live in California, but because of convoluted immigration laws further complicated by last week's travel ban, she was stranded in Yemen--a dangerous, war-torn country.
She was stranded there for four years without her immediate family.
After all that time apart, Salma Ali waited anxiously for her little sister Eman to arrive at SFO, stepping on U.S. soil for the first time.
With a grin across her face, 12-year-old Ali walked out of customs and into Salma's arms.
Eman's story began 12 years ago when her mother, a U.S. citizen, was traveling and gave birth to her in Yemen.
It wasn't until Friday, when a federal judge in Seattle signed an order to temporarily stop President Donald Trump's travel ban, that Ali was able to complete her journey home to California, accompanied by her father.
"Waiting for a long time, it's seven years already," Ali's father Ahmed told ABC7 News. "So after seven years, finally we home."
It took Ali's parents seven long years to get their daughter a visa to travel to the U.S., even though both he and his wife are U.S. citizens.
That visa finally came on Jan. 26, the day before Trump signed his executive order suspending immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Yemen.
"Whatever they did, it's not fair," said Ahmed. "If some people there are bad that doesn't make everybody bad."
Ahmed and Ali were stranded in immigration limbo for a week in Djibouti, unsure if they would be able to fly back to the U.S. That made Sunday's homecoming that much sweeter.
"Finally I have all my family home," said Ahmed. "So it's the best."
After leaving SFO, the Ali family drove to Los Banos where Eman, a new U.S. citizen, is now home with her mother, father and sisters.

Couple of real exciting milestones happened in the past few days for Kobe.
Number one. Although a golden retriever, Kobe never had a knack for retrieving things, he would only do it sometimes in the house. Whenever we would take him to the dog beach or dog park, he would just watch other dogs chase down countless balls thrown by their owners, too lazy to run long distances. However, when we took Kobe to the dog park on Thursday, we happened to find a bright yellow softball lying in the corner. Amazingly, Kobe loved playing fetch with it! Even if I chucked it to the opposite end of the park he still ran it down and brought it back, with his floppy tongue sticking out under the softball that was almost too big for his mouth. We are real proud of him for finally retrieving, not to mention that it's great we found something to tire him out faster!

This is a little old, but a great one. We had been anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new little nephew. Finally, he deemed us worthy of his presence three days past his due date. I was very excited to get to finally meet him and had the Boy all ready to go when Hubby got home from work. We decided to stop by the McDonalds drive through at the service center between our two towns for dinner to save some time.
Me: Are you super excited to meet your new baby cousin?
The Boy: I sure am! (several seconds of silence) My heart is warm.
Me: Ooooohhhhhhhhh! Your love for your cousin is making your heart warm?
The Boy: No, the chicken nuggets are hot and making my heart warm.
Me: Oh. Sigh.
Hubby: Bwhahahahahahha
Meet the Family!
I realized I am going to inevitably be talking about these people a lot, and you may not know who they are. So, here is a brief introduction.
Hubby - I first met hubby when we were working together, in different countries over 10 years ago. You really get to know someone as you see them handle irate (and often irrational) VPs and at the same time they are also trying to solve the issue. Hubby was the only one I ever saw that could actually get them to calm down and laugh. The more I got know him, the funnier, smarter and more reliable I found him to be. Those are all very attractive traits! He continues to be the funniest person I know and handles this irate gal very well. And yes, I usually end up laughing. I'm still not entirely sure how he does it, but he is most certainly my compliment in every way. He is a telecommunications analyst for a major cell phone corporation. We live in Kitchener, you figure it out!
The Boy - The boy is five, almost six, and absolutely the best thing I have ever done. When I was pregnant, the only hope I had was that he would have my husbands laid back personality. No such luck! Hubby often says we have stubborn offs. He is a great combination of us though, I think. He is very funny and got his comedic timing early. I don't know many 14 month olds that get that a prat fall is funny. He is smart, too smart sometimes. We are afraid of the teenage years as we are just barely keeping ahead of him now. These are the wonderful traits he got from my husband. He also has no fear, even when he probably should. He is stubborn, but that can be good too. The quickest way to get him to do something is to tell him he can't. He is compassionate and becoming more aware of the world everyday. I like to think he got those things from me. I know we are his parents and biased, but we get lots of unsolicited comments from strangers that say the same thing so we feel justified in thinking our son is made of pure awesome sauce!
The Dog - My 30th birthday was rolling around and I was a little glum. I didn't mind the age thing, I just always had pictured my life different when I hit that age. I was living in what was really Hubby's house. I was in a relationship, a great relationship, but not married. No pitter patter of little feet running through the house. Hubby had planned a really romantic trip to Montreal for my birthday. We had also been in loose talks about getting a dog. I realized I could solve the pitter patter problem! I asked Hubby if we could get a puppy instead of the trip. He said yes! Now, I know how to pick out dogs. I know to check carefully for hip and eye checks of both the parents and to ask things about the temperament. We were going to dutifully check out many different breeders until we found one we were comfortable with. All that went out the window when we went to the first breeder and saw our baby! He was wrestling all the other puppies who seemed to be rather sleepy. The breeder said not to worry about his tummy being so big, he had somehow broken into the room with the food and they found him eating merrily in the bag of food. Well, that just proved his was meant to be ours! (Hubby and I might both have rounder tummies as well!) Luckily, the breeder was great and showed us all the documentation we should have asked for in the first place. All those things that we found so adorable ended up being our curse for the first two years. He needed to be walked for hours just to calm him down. And, to be honest, the food thing is still a bit of an issue. He is now almost eight and still has such a special place in my heart. He is my buddy and has been my shoulder to cry on through the rough patches. He is such a goof, which makes him a perfect part of our family.
So there are the main players in my life. My three leading men. I have been so blessed by them all. They make me better and make my life make sense.

Grilled Caesar Salad
If you would have said a couple of years ago — put the romaine on the grill. I would have thought you were crazy! But alas, the culinary adventures continue on and you know what? It is fabulous!
You really must understand the benefits before you turn up your nose at this idea of grilled Caesar salad (and I don't mean just grilled chicken on top).
It is truly delightful! Really. The romaine becomes sweeter and the natural flavour seems to truly emanate. Add a couple of lemons cut in half and it is even better. The lemons on the barbecue not only smell wonderful, but they provide more juice as the pulp breaks down a bit once heated.
It is so simple to assemble and brings your basic side Caesar to a whole new level as a sophisticated side that can be presented along with any main dish. Presentation can be easily prepared as you can plate family style on a serving platter.
Now that you are convinced about the grilling part and how wonderful it will be to serve your family and guests there is something else you should consider. Making your own dressing! It is super easy, taste way better than store bought, can be made in advance and you can make enough to store it in the fridge to keep on hand for future use.
Our fridge usually houses a pint jar size pretty much at all times. It is a great marinade for chicken or glaze for grilled fish too!
So now that everyone is on board with the idea, check out the details in the recipe and lets get our salad on!
