Being married can be a rocky road sometimes with all of the ups and downs. There are times I just plain get really mad and then there are the times like today that I remember why I married him(Larry) and adore him so much.
Larry is a down to earth guy. He goes to work everyday, comes home, and play his game until he goes to bed. He does not drink or do any drugs but he is a gamer. He is also a little on the old fashion side he wants me to stay home and let him worry about the bills. When he is not at work we are always together anywhere we go. Larry does not like to be out in the streets hanging out and does not keep friends, simply a home body. He will cook, clean, wash clothes or whatever if I have class, got to work, or whatever. He went to college for Web designing and is really smart guy. My son and Larry have gotten to be real close over these few past years. They are like 2 peas in a pod, it is funny to think just 5 years ago my son did not like him.
Anyways, my dear hubby came home tonight with the biggest grin on his face. I was wondering to myself "what the heck he was up too", he just grabbed a hold of me and hugged me and said what you got planned for tomorrow because we are going out to eat. I just shook my head. Larry is always surprising me when I least expect it. Last year on my birthday, he gave me a box of 6 cupcakes with a candle in each one and some flowers on the nightstand next to my bed and woke me up early after coming home from 3rd shift job with a kiss and said Happy Birthday my dear, he made me cry with happiness that morning….
The thing that is so different about this relationship is that we are best friends and tell each other everything. My oldest son's dad and I are still good friends but we just don't got that click as a relationship needs. My youngest children's dad and I are well to keep nicely not on good terms. I had put everything I had and tried everything but he always let me down. I really tried for over 8 years but he just got worse with his drinking, drugs, drama, and simply lost trust and faith in him.
I met Larry years ago during my nasty break-up from my youngest kids dad. I met him on the internet back when he was stationed in May port, Florida, when I lived in Florida. We played pool on Yahoo games every night. Funny how life works out I ended up actually meeting him sometime later when I needed someone to trust and he did not let me down. My family you see is not trust worthy, drug addicts, and all about money. I was at a real pass in my life. It's hard when you don't have a trustworthy person in your life to talk to about things that need to be talked about.
Anyways, we play cards together, watch movies together at home, have date nights, window shop, food shop, go to the movies, and love to simply go driving in the country. We love a lot of the same things, we both love living in the country and want to return back to Mississippi after kids are grown. Most importantly, we trust each other and enjoy each others company. There have been a few times he has really made me mad and I know I have done the same to him. I have to work on my temper and not be mean as he does not deserve it but I do not curse at him at all and he has never called me any kind of bad words, yelled at me, or hit me EVER. I make sure he has a lunch to take to work and always make sure he has some dinner when he gets home. I make sure his clothes are clean and in return he makes me happy. He loves me for me, buys me anything I want, and he loves my kids like his own as he does not have any kids. My husband was in the Navy for a term and all his family is military so he has a military way of discipline this is the reason my oldest son and him seemed to always bump heads when he was small.
It is funny how things really turn out, I had to go through 2 bad relationships to find my true prince. Larry is all that I need and want next to my children. When I was in the hospital a few years back for surgery, I was having a hard time coming out of the anesthesia as I was pretty sick, and when I finally came to, he was right there by my side holding my hand. The doctor said he was there the whole time. That was really important to me. He told me right there in the hospital he will always have my back and always be here for me. That is something. After, 6 years being together and 4 years married we are still strong as a rock. I promised though next time I get really mad at him that I would not post about it next time, as he gets a kick out of it now about the post about how he hurt me and I was serious at the time but he has well over redeemed himself since.
And these are the reasons why he is my prince on a white horse and my Dearly loved husband…..I love you, Larry, Happy Anniversary…

I always watch videos in YouTube whereby people just love to do skin care review and routine they have to keep their skin healthy and clear. Now, I personally don't have perfect skin ok. My skin is just so freaking terrible especially back in my teenage years [16-17 years old]. That time I have so severe acne on my face. My whole face was covered with spots, pimples and cyst. It was so horrible and gross. My face didn't have any smooth surface bac
k then. I was so ashamed and didn't even dare to look into the mirror. I'd tried so many products and even went to see skin specialist and beautician. Well, the dermatologist gave me a lot of antibiotics and some products but I didn't work well because once I stopped taking the medication, the pimples came out again. I couldn't completely rely on the drugs. I wanted something more stable and gives good results in a long run. The beautician's products were really good but it was just too expensive. One set cost about RM300+. Which is too expensive for student like me to buy again after finishing..
Well, I've tried so so many products from drugstore to high-en
d type. I've used Neutrogena, Garnier, OXY, Clearasil and some other products like Charpoem, Bioglo and even high-end products like Laneige. But non of those can give me constant or long lasting result on my skin. Even the expensive Laneige gel cleanser doesn't keep my skin any clearer or better compare to the current products I'm using..
Now, straight to the point. Currently, I'm using products that are formulated to acne-prone skin and sensitive skin. All these products were fantastic and it works pretty well so far and I don't suffer from any reactions and massive breakouts so far..Ok..my skin care routine is the same everyday with cleanse, tone and mositurise and sometimes t
reating spots and doing some face treatment like applying masks.
1. Cleanse
The cleanser I use daily now is the Eucerin DermoPurifiyer cleanser. This cleanser specially formulated to treat acne-prone skin. I got to know about Eucerin from my friend that Eucerin is the famous brand recommended by many dermatologis
t to treat sensitive and acne-prone skin. I used Laneige before this but I see that it doesn't treat my pimples to the root. I got a lot of tiny bumps underneath my skin which is YUCKS..Hate it..So I use this:
This Eucerin cleanser is so gentle and after cleansing it doesn't leave my skin dry and tight. It's gentle but effective to cleanse the skin from sebum and also contains lactic acid to deeply cleanse the skin and has anti-bacterial effect. I've used about almost a week and I've notice that my skin is so much clearer and the tiny bumps almost all gone. Complexion is smoother and no breakouts experienced. Well to find out more on how the DermoPurifiyer systems works..visit this site Eucerin
Price: RM 30+
Rate: 4/5
Will I repurchase: Yes!
2. Tone
After cleansing, it's important to tone your face because it will remove the left-over cleanser or even make up from your face and also toner functions also to close the pores after cleansing and make the skin more refreshed. It also works as a base to prep your skin ready for moisturiser. I've used many type of toners too and this is my favourite of all.. Simple's Kind to Skin Soothing Toner is a toner that's loved by many people specially in UK mainly because the price super cheap and it's so gentle on the skin. I don't have sensitive skin but I always believe sensitive skin products are less harmful and protects the skin better. So I choose this. Indeed after using bout 1/3 of the bottle I love it and everyday will use some time to slowly swipe it all over my face and let it slowly absorb into my skin by doing padding motions using my palm and fingers. Face feel refreshed instantly..
Price: RM 15.70
Rate: 5/5
Will I repurchase: Yes definitely!
3. Moisturize
After toning, it's time to apply moisturizer to keep the skin moisturized. I love this moisturizer because the ingredients are very gentle and it has a lot skin loving nutrients and vitamins which helps to soften the skin and making it hydrated. Hydrated skin will be less oilier and also healthier. Check out this link to get further details of the Simple skin care : SIMPLE
I use this moisturizer in the day after cleansing and toning and I just need a little pea size amount for the whole face. My skin is oily type so it's not wise to use too much moisturizer as it can be too hydrating for my skin and after few hours, it can be very oily. But overall this moisturizer improved my skin condition and now my skin won't be dry and tight after a few hours in the shopping mall..Likey!
Price: RM 19.90
Rate: 5/5
Will I repurchase: Yes
During night time, we need to moisturize our skin too and especially at night because our skin undergoes process of regeneration and renew of skin. Thus, night cream is formulated to provide sufficient nutrients and care for the process. Therefore at night after cleansing and toning, I use SIMPLE's Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin Night Cream. This cream contains 3 skin loving nutrients and 3 vital vitamins which are essential to restore and replenish the skin throughout the night. This cream is really rich so again for me I need just a little pea size amount to cover my whole face or else throughout the night my skin will be so oily and will cause breakout..But if apply in proper amount it will give a smoother and supple skin the day after...
Price: RM 30+
Rate: 4/5
Will I repurchase: Maybe..
I hope the review helpful to those planning to purchase the above products..But anyway different people have different skin tolerance and acceptance. So, it may work for me but it may not for you. Believe in yourself and if that product is not suitable for you, your skin will tell you..like breakouts, dryness, allergy and hypersensitivity...
Hope this helps...
Take care and speak again soon!

Another witness has come forward and says he's willing to testify that Valentino Dixon did not gun down Torriano Jackson at Bailey and East Delavan avenues in August 1991.
Anthony Watkins, now 31, said this week that he was in the crowd at that corner when Jackson, 17, was mowed down by machine gun fire outside Louie's Texas Red Hots. Dixon was arrested hours later and is now serving 39 years to life for the killing.
Watkins told The Buffalo News that he knew Dixon from high school and that he is certain Dixon was not the shooter.
"When the shooting started, everybody was running," Watkins said. "And (Dixon) was ducking. That's all I saw him doing. So it was impossible for him to duck and shoot at the same time. He was hiding. You could hear a lot of gunshots. At first I thought he was shot."
Watkins said he and many others in the crowd were asked for their names and addresses by police at the scene. But he said nobody contacted him later to tell what he saw, and as a teenager, he didn't feel that anyone would listen to him if he came forward.
He also said he couldn't identify who the shooter was.
But Watkins decided to come forward after reading articles in The News on July 4 and 5 about Dixon's bid for a new trial, based on witnesses who were never called. Dixon maintains his innocence, while another man, Lamarr Scott -- currently imprisoned on an unrelated charge -- insists that he, not Dixon, did the shooting.
"Reading about it brings back memories," said Watkins, a Marine Corps veteran who is a certified social worker counseling youths through the Community Action Organization and is working on a doctorate degree. . Watkins was interviewed near a football field behind the Buffalo Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts on South Division Street, where he coaches Little League baseball.
"You want to put a nightmare behind you," Watkins said, recalling the shooting at 1:30 a.m. Aug. 10, 1991, outside Louie's Texas Red Hots.
Watkins is the second witness in the past three weeks to tell The News that Dixon was not the shooter.
The other witness is a woman who was sitting in a red Tracker eating a hot dog when the shooting broke out. She said she knew both Dixon and Scott and will testify that Scott killed Jackson.
She said she didn't come forward during Dixon's trial because she feared retaliation if she got involved. The woman, still fearful, has asked The News to withhold her name.
Dixon's lawyers believe both new witnesses will be helpful in their quest for a new trial.
Erie County Judge Michael L. D'Amico is expected to rule soon on the hearing request, based on their claim of newly discovered evidence.
Watkins said he had sneaked out of his home on Moselle Street while his parents were asleep and joined other youths at Bailey and Delavan on Aug. 10, 1991.
"I was getting a hot dog in Louie's," he recalled. "Everybody wanted to hang on Bailey, and Louie's had a big parking lot. Police never bothered us."
He heard two pistol shots.
"It wasn't a .22," said the 13-year Marine Corps veteran, who served in Operation Desert Storm and in Somalia. "It had a little bit of weight to it."
Then the automatic fire began from a Tech-9.
Witnesses all agree that Jackson was downed by the machine gun fire and that the shooter then stood over him and emptied the Tech-9. In all, 27 rounds were fired.
When the violence ended, Jackson was dead, and three others, including his brother, Aaron Jackson, were injured.
Police later found a .32 caliber hand gun, with one spent shell in the chamber, in Louie's parking lot. Scott and other witnesses claim that Torriano Jackson fired one or two shots before the machine gun fire erupted. Police never determined who fired the handgun.
Three witnesses, including Aaron Jackson, identified Dixon as Torriano Jackson's killer. Two days after the shooting, Scott confessed, and other witnesses backed him up in statements to police. But by then police had picked up Dixon, who was out on bail awaiting sentencing for two incidents in which he and another drug dealer had exchanged shots. Neither hit his mark.
Police discounted Scott's confession, saying he was trying to protect his friend Dixon, who was facing a stiffer sentence than the younger Scott would get. But Scott later recanted when threatened with perjury. Recently he told The News that he really was the killer.
The two others who initially told police that Scott was the shooter were convicted of perjury.
Without Scott and those two witnesses, Dixon's original lawyer said, he was left with no one to call to the stand on Dixon's behalf.
Dixon's new attorneys say they now have more than half a dozen witnesses who claim Dixon wasn't the shooter.
Watkins said he was familiar with both Dixon and Jackson.
Torriano Jackson was feared on the streets because he had a gun, Watkins said. Scott was a small fish, he said, while Dixon was a known drug dealer whom police were eager to put away.
"They were out to get him," Watkins said. "I think they knew it (was an injustice). They didn't care."
Police and prosecutors deny this.

If you have not gone through Part-1 of this series, I would recommend you reading Part-1 and then continue reading from here on.
Okay, so now we have turned our developer dashboard to OnDemand. So let's open up our site.
And observe one icon on the top right.
This is the icon for developer dashboard. When you click on it you can see at the bottom of the page which displayed the rendering time taken by each method and time taken by database calls. What all methods have been called, Service queries, web part events etc.
Click on the icon again to hide it.
When you move to any other page, dashboard again goes off. You again need to click on icon to get it back.
If you always want it to be there then you have to set in settings of developer dashboard as on rather than ondemand.
Let's say we have developed our custom web part and we have placed that web part on a page. So navigate to a page where you have kept the web part and click on developer dashboard.
And here you get in developer dashboard
As you can see it was visual web part and we can see how much time taken by that visual web part to load.
This gives us little information. But what If you actually want to know how much time code written on button click takes. Generally if you want to know time taken to perform action or load some events and we want to include that time as a part of developer dashboard, then we need to use SPMonitoredScore class.
Let's dive into SPMonitoredScopre class.
Overall idea is we need to wrap up our code inside SPmonitored scope and the way we should do it is ;
using (new SPMonitoredScope("Name of the scope"))
When we do this, the code written in doSomeWork method captured by the developer dashboard and you can track down more details on code tracing.
Let's add some examples to a web part that I showed you earlier on a page.
I have added a code in one of the button click event.
Now redeploy the solution and let's see what happens when we click on that button.
If you now observe you get to see on left pane your own custom scope.
This also adds an entry to Log file on the server. If you open the latest log file and search for scope name, you get this
In this way, you can trace time taken by each method. Do not use this class everywhere. Use it with caution as if you unexpectedly use this class to trace a long running method then it may add few extra burden on page and increase its size for adding to the developer dashboard.
We can also add developer dashboard icon when you are developing your custom master page.
This is very important to have. All we need is just use developer dashboard SharePoint control in master page. Just to demonstrate I have added in web part.
And here is what you get
Couple of important notes that you should know is that
1) SPMonitoredScope class can only be used if your custom development is going to be deployed as farm solution and not as sandbox solution. Sandbox solution runs in different process than farm solution as it is not captured in w3wp process.
2) Use another class called SPDiagnosticsService to log tracing and performance timing for custom solutions in LOG folder of server that do not run under HTTP like SharePoint timer service.
I hope this must have given some basic idea as how to use developer dash board and its use in SharePoint.

Hot topic WannaCry: Significant response to LUCY in the Swiss business and Sunday press
Zürich-Thalwil, 20. Mai 2017 – The global WannaCry attack has put the issue of ransomware and malware countermeasures in the public focus. LUCY is now acknowledged in the leading media of the Swiss press as one of the pillars in the fight against cycled crime!
The economic crime now takes place in Cyberspace. This has now become clear to all. The most important point of defense as well as attack are the people, whether as an employee or private individual.
In the past, safety systems and large companies were the focus of attention. People were neglected and the SMEs were not yet interesting for the criminals. That has changed, even before WannaCry small companies have been increasingly blackmailed with Ransomware. In the meantime the ransom came down to about 600 USD / 400 EUR. This is a price the small companies can pay. Now the first background reports on the cybercrime wave 2017 were published in the Swiss press: The "Handelszeitung" on 18 May and the "Schweiz am Wochenende" on 20 May 2017 published long articles and both newspapers address exactly the above topics. We are very pleased that employee awareness and phishing simulations will be publicly addressed to the benefit of the employees!
Of course, we recommend the following articles (in German):
- Handelszeitung (in German) 18.5.2017 Cyber Angriffe: "Schadenfälle bei KMU nehmen zu" & "Die Furcht vor dem Virus"
- Schweiz am Wochenende (in German) 20.5.2017: " Der Klick in die Erpressungsfalle"
About: LUCY-Security is a Swiss company with customers in more than 50 countries. Its product LUCY Server allows companies to perform realistic cyber attack simulations. At the same time, customized awareness programs and incident alerting tools can be used to increase cyber security. For the first time, the LUCY server makes cyber prevention in the form of a standardized product affordable for all. Customers can now test and improve their IT security without special knowledge!

Set a toe in Lake Michigan this July, and the water is more likely to feel like your bathtub than a shoreline newly cleared of ice.
The lake is downright hot in some spots. A National Weather Service buoy in northern Lake Michigan recorded a temperature of 79 degrees briefly on July 15 -- friendly winds pushed the warm pool of water past the buoy at approximately 5 p.m.
In fact, says National Weather Service meteorologist Nick Schwartz, the mean lake temperature -- the current average temperature of the lake -- is about 3 degrees Celsius above average compared to the temperatures of the past few years. That's about 5-and-a-half degrees Fahrenheit above previous summers.
On July 19, the average surface temperature of Lake Michigan was almost 75 degrees, according to data collected by the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, compared to nearly 71 degrees on the same day in July 2010 and nearly 72 degrees in 2011
"And we're two to three weeks ahead of normal," he said. "The water temps we're seeing over Lake Michigan is something we'd typically see during peak heating season, in August or early September."
The first 16 days of July, with its days of heat waves, have put July on track to be the warmest month on record, also caused a spike in water temperatures. But, reminds Schwartz, we have the rest of July to get through before any records are set.
So the lake is warm, but Schwartz hesitates to put much weight in ranking the warm-up.
The National Weather Service gathers its lake temperature data from buoys in Lake Michigan. The buoy in northern Lake Michigan began gathering data in 1979, giving the weather service more than 30 years of temperatures -- not a large data set, Schwartz points out. Too, he says, there are a few gaps in the meteorologists' data since the buoy started recording temperatures.
Other summers have been pretty warm, after all. Schwartz points out the summer of 1919, several years in the 1930s and 1988 as warm years.
"We're not dealing with an incredibly large data set to support climatological claims," he said. "But the lake is pretty warm ... both buoys are the warmest at this point than they've ever been during this relatively short time span of the data."
Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory's George Leshkevich, a physical research scientist, collects daily data from nine buoys stationed around Lake Michigan and eight buoys around Lake Superior, traditionally the coldest of the Great Lakes.
But this year, temps are also creeping up in Superior.
"It's the largest, the deepest, the most northerly lake, and traditionally, it has been the coldest. But it's warming," said Leshkevich. "We've had a lot of solar input with this hot, clear weather."
That means, says Leshkevich, that the warm surface layer of the water could, through wave action, mix more deeply than usual.
"You could have a lot of heat storage there that would have to be lost before you could start forming ice," he said.
To lose that heat storage, the state needs a long, cold early winter. But if trends in weather continue as they have since March, Great Lakes water could continue warming and delay the formation of ice. That would only perpetuate the warming water cycle, said Leshkevich.
Last winter's lack of ice cover contributed to this year's warm water temperatures.
"Our above-average winter, at that, didn't allow the lake to cool," said the National Weather Service's Schwartz. "And with March, we started out on a very warm foot."
A similar situation happened in 2002-2003. There was very little ice cover in 2002, while Lake Superior froze almost completely over in 2003. These kind of yearly fluctuations happen often with what Leshkevich calls the "natural variability" of Earth's climate system, but climatologists are looking at long-term trends. And Leshkevich said the amount of ice cover has been trending downward over the last 40 years.
That could result from greenhouse gas-induced change, or, a combination of the natural variability of the climate and long-term climate change.
But it's not easy to tie specific weather events to climate change. Both Schwartz and Leshkevich point out that anomalies in weather have occurred since weather records have been kept. Still, Leshkevich says, scientists are examining long-term trends, such as the 40 year downward slope of Great Lakes ice cover.
"We're certainly seeing change occurring with decrease in ice cover and increase in water and air temperature," Leshkevich said. "People are interested in those long-term trends, although that amount of time (40 years) is just a little blip on the geologic time line."

The last couple months have been interesting to say the least.
If you read my last post, you remember that I had just started seeing a personal trainer. To say the least, I was not her biggest fan. I am finished training with her and despite her trying really hard, I am "on my own". I still really struggle with getting to the gym though. I really need to work on that. However I did lose a pound in the last week so that's progress....
Back in September, Dan and I met up in Las Vegas (NO WE DID NOT GET MARRIED) to go to a wedding of a friend of mine. We had a wonderful time there and it was great to have some time for just the two of us.
I had been on a GREAT streak of my fitness... I'd worked out 6 days in a row (which hasn't happened in over a year).... And then I came down with the stomach flu.... I lost 3 pounds in a day (hooray?) but have since gained it back. So I had to take a break from working out.... I got better.... and then had a cold.... And it's been hard to get back into ever since.
I have a dear friend named Sunshine who I have known since 1st grade. We went through all our schooling together (except college). Her husband Matt has been battling Melanoma for years. He was battling with it when my dad was going through the worst of his Leukemia and I would get messages from Sunshine telling me that she and Matt had been praying for my dad and worried about him. And it just floored me that someone going through something so terrible could be concerned about someone else. But that's just who they were. Very caring people.
Matt's health had really taken a turn for the worse and our last night in Vegas, Sunshine posted an update on Facebook that "this was it". Matt only had a few hours left. We were at a casino and it just really threw me. It made me think about losing Dan and what Sunshine must be going through and I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. I was able to keep myself from crying as I did not want to ruin our last night together. I woke up the next morning to find out that Matt had passed away.
I was able to go to the funeral which was good. I saw a couple old friends and was able to hug Sunshine and give her my condolences. And after that, I really thought life might get back to normal.
A couple weeks ago, I noticed that I was super emotional. Crying ALL the time... Exhausted all the time. At first I chalked it up to the usual girl stuff mixed with the fact that I was working a 65 hour week... But after those it continued on.
In the middle of my 65 hour work week, I spent the night at my parents since I had to work at the church all weekend. Saturday morning I got up (exhausted), had a little chat with my mom about things that had been going on at work, and then got in the car to go to church for a rehearsal. And the second I got in the car... I just started crying. Not sure why... but I just cried and cried.
The weekend after that I went to the wedding of my brother's childhood best friend, Jeffrey. Our families haven't seen each other in 20 years. So my social anxiety was a little high prior to the wedding but it was really good to see everyone (though I didn't recognize him or his brother because... well 20 years). When we got back home, I pulled out the old photo album and found a picture of the 3 of us.
|Jeffrey, Me, David. Man we were cute.
A few days after that... I had a couple of really vivid dreams. I was driving, and I looked up and had like a computer screen and in a Skype-like fashion I saw my Grandpa. And I wasn't just a picture... Like he was alive and I screamed "GRANDPA!!!" and threw my arms around him. (It was a dream, clearly I don't hug computer screens in the real world). In the same night, I had a dream that I was somewhere (not sure where) with Sunshine and she got up and started talking about Matt and what she was going through.
I woke up puzzled about what it might mean. And then when I was at work I suddenly had a flashback to a phrase Cassandra used to say daily. It's something I haven't thought of in a long time and it just kind of popped in my mind. So that made me wonder more... Why was this happening??? What did it mean?
Well the next night, I had ANOTHER dream about seeing my grandpa. Except this time, it was the frail grandpa that I saw at the end of his life. And it wasn't until THIS dream that I realized he was "healthy grandpa" in the previous dream. Still puzzled by it all... it was something I brought up when I went to counseling the next week.
So we talked about my dreams and flashbacks, the excessive crying and fatigue.... And she said that it all started around the time Matt passed away... which I hadn't even thought of. So it seems that his death is bringing up some residual grief that I haven't dealt with concerning Grandpa and Cassandra. My body is trying to process everything still and while it sucks, I am just going to have to go through it all. Honor the tiredness and the emotions. Talk it out when they come up. Journal.
On top of all that and being overwhelmed with work/life, I have really been struggling with this whole long distance relationship thing. From the very beginning I have said that we are really good at it. And I still believe that. But after spending 7 weeks together and knowing what that is like, being apart is REALLY HARD.
Not to mention, we are currently in the LONGEST stretch of time we have spent apart in the 8 1/2 months we have been together. The longest time apart prior to this is 46 days. How long is this stretch??? 92 DAYS. UGH. We have made it 32 days and still have 60 to go.....
And I am struggling big time. I've seen all sorts of cute countdowns on Pinterest like having 2 jars filled with marbles (corresponding to the jar). One that says "Days Down" and one that says "Days to Go"... The other night when I was having a rough time, I started looking up things to do... and while I found a ton... None of them seemed good enough.
He and I had a long talk about it the other night (because he is struggling too). I think another part of it is that my roommate moved out here from California to be close to his girlfriend who lives here. And when he moved in I thought it would be a great situation... Until she is always over here (which is fine... it's his place as much as it is mine) but I guess it just makes me miss Dan more, seeing them together and hearing them laugh. So I decided that I need to find something to do to distract me and keep me busy for the next 60 days. I am not sure what yet... I may increase my workouts... Or actually clean my room! So if you have any suggestions, feel free to leave those in the comments!
Today is Cassandra's birthday. And I knew it was coming up and I knew it would likely be hard. So many things have changed since she passed away and so many things I wish I could tell her and talk to her about. Today a few different memories popped up in my mind. And as I sit here and write this I can recall the very last conversation we ever had....
We were passing in the hallway at work. She wasn't working full time anymore because she had just had Harper. I stopped her in the hall and said "I really miss working with you." We talked about it for a little bit and went on our merry way. I'm not sure what had prompted me to say that, but I am so thankful we had that moment.
I think about her every day and miss her.
It's true.... I guess I keep thinking that after a year of firsts, things will get easier. But I still miss her. Some days I still can't believe the reality of it. I guess I just need to be thankful for the time we did get to spend together, remember the good times, and look forward to the times to come when we are reunited.
Hug your loved ones. Make sure they know you love them. You never know when it could be too late.

The Holiday Survival Guide.
If We Took A Holiday. Took Some Time To Celebrate. Just One Day Out Of Life. It Would Be, It Would Be So Nice.
At the end of last year, we decided to have a family holiday. No big deal so far. It was abroad. And it was the first time we ever took the kids outside of the UK (apart from the Isle of Wight, but that's outside of modern civilisation which is a whole different article).
If you're reading this thinking "no big deal, been there, done it" then this isn't for you. If you're thinking about taking your kids on holiday (abroad) then read on, my friend. Share in my experience so that you can have a great family holiday (as we did) and be aware of the things that are beyond your control.
Familuy Holiday Prelude.
Before I get into the meat and bones of this, take a moment to remember your holidays when it was just you and your partner. Those golden days when you could do whatever you wanted, whether it was a two-day walking trip around Rome, or a leisurely driving holiday around the mountainous countryside of Ireland, or just sitting in your pants and playing Xbox because you hadn't told your other half you'd booked a day off work. Hold those thoughts close.
The airport.
Let's assume you've told your kids that you're going on a family holiday and it's going to involve flying on an aeroplane. They are either going to be delighted or terrified. Or, if you have more than one child it could be both. We had one child thinking he was going on a space rocket and another who didn't want to be crammed onto an exploding canister filled with rocket fuel and warm bodies. But you've managed to persuade them that airports are these wonderful places, the gateways to adventure where cultures meet and dreams are made. And then you get to East Midlands airport.
Dull. It's dull. It's two hours of queues, baggage, searches, broken promises and delays. It's sitting amongst people you'd actively avoid if you saw them in the street, and having to put up with other people's parenting that's got more in common with verbal abuse. But you get the kids on the aeroplane, by this point you've made the concept of air travel seem like something from the diaries of Chuck Yeager and for the first ten minutes it's exciting. Then, once you're in the air and through the clouds, you realise you have 2 hours in a pressurised tube and you've left the felt tip pens in the other bag. The one in the hold. The one you can't get to. The one your child desperately needs. Right now. And you brought a book to read on the flight, you poor misguided fool!
All abroad!
So we went to Menorca and man it was hot! More on that in a bit, because first of all we had to check in to our holiday apartment. The word 'apartment' may be stretching it a bit. It was a small, cramped box with some internal walls. But you get what you pay for and in this instance we paid for a bedroom with nowhere to hang clothes, a bathroom door that didn't close properly, an electric hob that the caretaker couldn't work out how to use, a kitchen that had clearly been designed to encourage you to eat at the local restaurants and a floor that resembles the Sahara after two days of hitting the beach.
'"We realised at various points that we were terrible parents".
Terrible parents.
On day one we decided to do a nice coastal stroll to a beach a couple of kilometres away. In the blinding heat. We had water, sun cream and sun hats to match our optimism and naivety. From our children's perspective, we might as well have enlisted them in the Foreign Legion and force-marched them to Cairo. All seemed fine (barring multiple stops on the way and the nagging sense that we had over-committed) until the next day when our oldest child suffered from mild heatstroke. Once we'd worked out that it was temporary (ie. he'd stopped being sick) we put him in the car and drove to the other side of the island for our planned day out. Once we got there he was immediately sick again and, not to be outdone, we sympathised and continued with our planned excursion. The lesson here is that whatever plans you and your significant other had should be forgotten. The minute you include your children, the chances of you having the holiday you want are over.
"The minute you include your children, the chances of you having the holiday you want are over".
Life's a beach.
We're on an island so it's going to include visits to the beach. Frequent visits. We did this loads and, all told, had a great time. As with the rest of this article, we discovered a few things worth passing on. Pre-kids my idea of a day on the beach went like this: put a towel on beach, apply sun cream, open book, read, occasional dip in the sea, repeat process until the sun goes down. Post-kids it goes like this: put towel on beach, attempt to put sun cream on kids, realise sand has got into the lunch box, try and get kids into swimsuits, tell kids there is nothing to be scared of it's just a wave, rescue football from the sea, repeat until the sun goes down. You'll also be bombarded with questions/demands: "I want ice cream", "there's too much sand", "when's lunch", "it's too hot", "why can't we go to a town", "where's the cafe", "can you carry it", "I'm bored". But all of this pales in comparison to the day that we spent on a beautiful beach and decided to go for a wander down the coast only to inadvertently find ourselves amongst a nudist colony for elderly couples. It's amazing how much interference you can run while trying to distract your children when you really need to.
Out on the town.
Ah, the excursions into small towns, exploring cosy nooks and crannies, sipping coffee in cafes, finding hidden gems whilst walking hand-in-hand. It doesn't quite work out like that. We had a great time exploring with the kids (we found two dead mice in one town) and they love anything that's foreign as it's all new and exotic to them. Which is why we had to get the same type of crisps all week, as well as a specific brand of Spanish orange juice. Apparently nothing else came close. And they will always find ways of making you wish the earth would just open up and swallow you whole. We went to a local church and, once inside, we impressed upon our children the importance of not running around, or screaming, shouting or eating. And they held up brilliantly until they started asking questions: "Do you believe in God, daddy?", "If Jesus was crucified how did he could he come back from the dead?", "Is it true?", "Are they just stories?". I'm pretty sure the churchwarden had a perfect understanding of English and was looking for all the excuse he needed to drop kick us down the church steps.
Eat it.
Thanks to the aforementioned "kitchen" in the apartment you'll want to be eating out at some point on the holiday. Let's be clear on this, you are "that family". You know the one, the family that have to constantly utter the threat of "there'll be no dessert" through gritted teeth, the ones with the kids that don't stop talking. Ever. But the kids seem to think they will eat out every night, despite the lies when you tell them that the hastily prepared pasta and cheese you have in your apartment is a local delicacy. Because you have a budget. That budget is about as solid as the promises the banks made before the economy went tits-up. You may want to keep it tight but ice cream, meals out, postcards, treats, key rings, tat souvenirs, parking, bottles of water, cereal and the mafiosi who run the resorts supermarkets all conspire to ensure this is the most expensive holiday you've ever been on. And beach toys. Because suddenly your kids want to play frisbee, cricket, rounders, tennis, football, volleyball, kabaddi and anything else that happens near a beach.
It'll be you lugging all the gear from apartment to car to beach and back again. Just to repeat it the next day and the next, like Sisyphus and that rock.
Solving the Syrian crisis on a Family Holiday.
Your kids will have a great time, and so will you, but they will run you ragged. Like conspirators to a grand plot, they must have had discussions before the holiday (and they probably asked their mates for advice). It works like this: one child will be the most hyper child in existence, whilst the other is the personification of angelic obedience and calm. You'll eventually solve the puzzle of why Child A is upset/hyper/hungry/tired/bored and as soon as they are placated Child B will start acting up. And on it goes. For the entire holiday. At the end of a week away, your negotiation skills will be so honed that you could single-handedly solve the Syrian crisis.
And then there's bedtime.
You put the first night down to excitement. They go to bed late despite looking like extras from The Walking Dead ("I'm not tired!"). Day 2, you laugh with your partner as the kids keep wandering into the living room with excuses as to why they don't need to go to bed yet ("I'm not tired", "I want to read", "Can I do some colouring"). Day 3, you start to realise something is wrong. Your kids are fighting a secret war. Their goal is to ensure you and your other half can't have any time together. You start uttering common phrases such as "This is mummy and daddy's time", "We've had you all day", "You'll be tired tomorrow", "Time for bed", "I mean it", "Will you go to sleep", "Just go to sleep", "Please go to sleep". And before you know it, you've surrendered your double bed to your kids so they can snuggle with mum and you're left sleeping in a child's single bed alone.
Employment opportunities at Abu-Ghraib.
Now don't go thinking all those late nights means you get a lie-in. Oh no, the little grifters are up at the crack of dawn demanding your complete attention. You'd better hope you packed some games, crafts, or electronic devices to entertain them. And then there's the noise. If one of you is having a lie-in you can guarantee the kids will decide to make their own version of ten-pin bowling with the football you bought at the beach and all the empty water bottles you've gone through. And they'll play it right outside the bedroom door. I think both Guantanamo Bay and Abu-Ghraib are staffed, not by soldiers, but by packs of 5-7 years olds who think they're on holiday.
A New York minute.
And then suddenly the family holiday is over. Like that, it's gone and you're on the plane back home, the kids are asleep in the car and you transfer them into their own beds. You'll unpack the bags and it's back to reality. Maybe a week later one of you will pick up a shoe and the sand from one of the gorgeous beaches you visited will pour onto the floor and you'll use it as an excuse to look at all the photos you took and remember all the wonderful things about taking your children abroad to take in new experiences and cultures. And you'll have created new family stories, which is why I love having children so that I can spend time with them and we can teach each other new things. Because it's all worth it, and you're already planning next year.
So what are your top tips for surviving family holiday hell with your small people?

Wall Art
Okay I'm delinquent. Been neglecting you, blog, for other things. Been working on getting my designs into a new format for hanging on the wall. I love the process. Questioning and exploring, playing and experimenting. I've been invited to hang a few in a downtown venue for the holidays, so my task is to choose which ones. Here's a sampling of the formatted pieces to eventually post on Etsy. They are 16 x20 with birch wood frames. My imagined customer? Someone who likes clean modern surroundings, has more taste than money, wants an affordable print that is strictly visual pleasure. Art? Who cares, it's good design.

text: God created us out of sheer generosity to give us a share in his happiness, wisdom, and power. When we make use of his gifts to us (which means all that we are, have, and can do), then we are said to serve and adore him. He does not need anything, and our service of God is nothing more than the expression of our thanks to him. He is infinite goodness, and since it is the nature of goodness to pour itself out, he makes us in order to give his gifts. He is not being demanding in seeking our service and adoration; rather, he is being generous with all he has. He even gives us his very self by grace in our souls as we become his dwelling place. Who would not be happy to serve and adore a God as good and kind as he is?

Approximately 20,000 calls were subject to deliberate delays.
An NHS report into a project by South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) has confirmed 25 patients were affected by the decision to delay care – with seven "serious incidents"and five deaths.
The ambulance trust has been investigated following a project known as R3/G5 - run between December 2014 to February 2015 - which allowed an extra ten minutes for assessments before ambulances were dispatched to some urgent calls.
Although SECAmb said there is "no evidence"patients were "negatively impacted" during the process, a report by NHS England states: "Commissioners identified 25 incidents associated with the Red 3 project and seven of these incidents appeared to meet the serious incident criteria. The trust itself had only identified two serious incidents."
Approximately 20,000 calls were subject to deliberate delays. The report said one patient, who died, waited 35 minutes for an ambulance, and care for an eight-day old baby was delayed by nine minutes.
The report states: "No conclusions can be made as to the safety and efficacy of the project, which is disappointing as the learning may well have helped urgent care communities across England."
Paul Sutton, chief executive of SECAmb said: "As paramedics, we come to work to save lives and we would never do anything to deliberately put patients at risk. We understand the concerns that the public have and wish to reassure people that we work constantly to provide the safest service possible.
"We recognise that the proper processes were not fully followed in setting up the project and we do apologise for this."
Peter Kyle, Labour MP for Hove and Portslade, said he will "stop at nothing" to find out the truth about what happened.
He said: "I am calling for whoever was behind for this trail to take full responsibility for their actions, for the trust to release all information for public scrutiny, and for an inquiry to determine if governance and leadership of the trust is fit for purpose."
Frances McCabe, chair of Healthwatch Brighton and Hove, said SECAmb "jeopardised" patients' rights to critical care and put them at risk adding it might be impossible as the project was not evaluated.

A futuristic experiment simulating warmer environmental conditions has shown that peatland vegetation responds to higher temperatures with an earlier and longer growth period. Researchers used direct observation and digital repeat photography to measure plant greenness over three years at the Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments study, a unique ecosystem-scale experiment operated by DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
A study by Oak Ridge National Laboratory detailed the response and recovery of certain tree species after short-term, extreme weather events such as heat waves. Scientists exposed sets of four different saplings to dramatic temperature swings that peaked above 120 F, or around 50 C, in a climate-controlled test chamber.
Climate models predict that an increase in greenhouse gases will dry out the Amazon rainforest in the future while causing wetter conditions in the woodlands of Africa and Indonesia.
A new earth modeling system will use advanced computers and have weather scale resolution to simulate aspects of Earth's variability and anticipate decadal changes that will critically impact the United States' energy sector.
A national team of Earth system modelers analyzed simulations through the year 2300 and found that increasing global temperatures could drive declines in marine biological productivity, decreasing fishery output by 20% globally and 60% in the North Atlantic.

Here is Part 2 of Week 13 Summary. This part is just an update on the different areas of life for me and Tones.
Mental Health
I've eaten less fat this week and the effects were immediate with my mind slowing mid thought. I even had an episode where I started a sentence and completely lost the rest and it never came back to me.
I ate less fat because of the flu. I was avoiding fatty, oily and milky or creamy foods in order to reduce the amount of phlegm and snot production. What I got instead was a very dull mind. Duller still when you have a blocked nose and limited oxygen to the brain!
Physical Health
Apart from recovering from the flu and going to our favourite yoga class once a week, I've attempted a number of things to help improve my physical health. Things including going to sleep earlier.
However, when it comes to physical health, nothing works without long term maintenance and we are just not being consistent.
Despite wanting to get to bed earlier, Tony and I are still up and about at 12.30am 6 out of 7 nights, 3am at least one night a week. I suppose this is an improvement from the usual going to bed anywhere between 1-3am every day but lack of sleep is detrimental to many organ functions as well as something that contributes greatly to ageing and a weaker immune system. They don't call it beauty sleep for nothing!
What's the point in taking superfoods and supplements, doing meditation and yoga and sticking with day only jobs if you're just going to negate it all by staying up to all hours of the night and early morning? And for nothing too. Usually we're just watching a movie, playing games, surfing the web or reading.
So, for this following week, especially now that it's daylight saving, I'm going to attempt to be in bed and asleep by 10.30pm each night. What a feat that will be. Even just saying it, sounds impossible.
Spiritual Health
"Enlightenment is the absolute ability to spontaneously fulfil desire."
This is a definition of enlightenment that I came across in recent weeks and is a new concept to me. I never once thought that enlightenment would be connected with physical results because to me it was a spiritual, non-tangible thing only accessible to the deeply spiritual (ie vegetarians who meditate all day on mountain tops aka monks).
However, this definition makes enlightenment accessible to all. If one's desire is something physical, then surely an enlightened being would be able to absolutely and spontaneously fulfil that desire.
In that vein, we have experienced mini periods of enlightenment already. That is, every problem we have had a desire to find a solution for, we've found the solution to, pretty much straight away.
For example, Rome broke my computer charger cord, Tony lent me his computer (which we'd been waiting for, for 2 years to receive but happened to have exactly when it was required). We found a spare replacement cord for my computer, in the house, the next day.
Example 2, Rome broke the power board cable, the electrical shop near us was having a sale and power boards were half price! What were the chances? So it was also replaced the very next day.
Example 3 in the last 3 weeks we have not experienced running out of anything in the house. Every thing that runs out or that we need more of, I've managed to have ordered just in time so that it gets delivered either just before, or on the very day that we need that item. This has never happened before now. Usually there have been days, even weeks or months of waiting for replacements but not in the past 3 weeks.
Can you imagine living life where you never run out of anything? Take something really simple like, you never run out of ink because there's always another pen and then apply this to EVERYTHING and that's pretty much been our life for the last 3 weeks. The universe has become a constant and unlimited supply of everything we desire and it's happened so often, it's become normal.
Even just last night I was thinking, "Oh, we're on the last bag of hay for the boys. I will have to order some more in soon." and guess what was in the mail that Tony brought in 15 mins later? Discount vouchers from the pet store that I buy their hay from.
Of course we still have to order and pay for things. I didn't say we got things for free. My point however is that we haven't had to do without, even when things break, there is always a replacement ready to go straight away and as we never like paying full price for anything, discounts are available all the time to us.
Last night (again) we went to the store to buy milk so Tony could finish the Matcha Green Latte powder we had bought. The woman who used the self service till before us didn't pick up her receipt or discount coupon. So it was waiting for us at the till when we got there. Guess what the coupon was for? You guessed it, discount off all milk products.
When it happens all the time then surely it's not coincidence. Is this really what enlightenment looks like??
I wonder if the more enlightened you get, whether your desires become bigger too so if you want you will get a jet plane, or if desire diminishes to complete contentment with nothing but the clothes on your back, the roof over your head and nourishment to maintain a healthy body and a mountain top to sit on… I'll have to wait and see for myself or meet a monk with a Ferrari.
Emotional Health
So this is what it feels like when the universe conspires in your favour!
I had glimpses of this in the past and when it happened, I would cry in overwhelm and my hands would get the shakes like I was in shock or had too much caffeine.
Looking back I realise that the crying and the shock would be because I was feeling undeserving. I didn't think I was worthy of my super powers ie the power to manifest things into my life.
After each event where this happened, I would feel scared that the ability to manifest would disappear just as easily as it came.
Side note: I didn't cry or shake after receiving discount vouchers. I was manifesting free tickets to Anthony Robbins' events for 2 people worth $5000, taxis in rural areas exactly when I needed them who would then give me a ride for free because "I was heading in that direction anyway", free empty bus rides because an out of service bus just stopped to pick me up and take me where I wanted to go, win tickets to the comedy club off a radio station (when I never entered the competition) right after I thought about wanting to go to the Comedy club that night, free tickets to movies, win every raffle I entered etc etc and all this happened within a 3-6 month period. People said I was really lucky but it literally freaked me out.
After that I'd have even more fear that either my luck would run out or that I'd manifest all sorts of horrors into my life just as easily as I manifested the good stuff. Kind of like how the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man became Godzilla in Ghost Busters. Out of control.
But now it's different and that is because now I know better.
Firstly, I know it's not me that's making anything happen. It never has been. Miracles happen all the time, to all of us, constantly. That is the nature of the universe. I just finally learned how to get out of the way.
Secondly, when they happen, I've learned to acknowledge them, accept them and let them be instead of ignoring them, rejecting them, battling with receiving them or flat out pushing them away with fear.
Lastly, I understand now that because it isn't me, I have no control over it. I just have to allow it to happen and be there to witness it.
The result? No shakes or crying. Just, "Thank you. " or "Thank God!" or "Yes! This is awesome!" Every single time is like receiving a gift and I really like presents, especially if they're things I've wished for. Those are the best presents!
Mind you, nothing big or expensive has come through lately but then again, I haven't asked and I'm not going to. Not unless I really desire it. It is a privilege that I must use wisely.
Ask and you shall receive. It really is that simple. The asking is always easy. It's the receiving part that I needed to learn.
Financial Health
If I was a horse with blinkers, health and spirituality is right in front of me and finances continuously sit in my periphery. Tony loves finance but he leaves household finances to me because he thinks I'm better at it than he is.
Just how good am I? I went to a tax accountant once who asked me to bring "all my receipts" for the year and when I did, he chuckled and said "You have enough paper work to look like you've been in business for 10 years!"
He told me to go away and sort it all before coming back to him. I had to sit for 3-4 days doing nothing else but filtering through it all and making sense of it. The process was both cathartic and traumatic all at the same time.
There has been little improvement since. The blinkers have prevented me from finding another way. Instead I just pile the papers up until I get so overwhelmed I stuff them in a box or bag and then shove that box/bag in the cupboard.
So this coming week, I'm going to find another way. I've already learned to ask and receive. I suppose, it's now time to experience "Seek and you shall find"!
I'll let you know how I get on next week!
Until then, may you receive all that you ask for xx

Do you guys realize Len Wiseman's TOTAL RECALL is still over two months away? Hard to believe considering all the goods we've been seeing for this thing, huh? I'm just hoping the media train on TOTAL RECALL doesn't fizzle out before it's release... Well that or we just get tired of seeing shite from the film.
With that being said I've come along today to not only show you a new still from the flick... and not only show you a new TV spot from the flick... but a new clip as well! Can you say spoiled? Yeah, thought so. All three goods can be found by scrolling on down below, and thankfully they all feature the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale! Natch! The TV spot can also be found over our videos section while the new clip I spoke of comes courtesy of an interview Beckinsale did on The Ellen Degeneres Show. Enough of my rambling though, get scrolling and enjoy!
Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid, even though he's got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen, the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter to find the head of the underground resistance and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.
Along with Beckinsale (below) the sci-fi reboot also stars Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel, Ethan Hawke, Bryan Cranston and Bill Nighy. It doesn't hit theaters until August 3rd so expect a lot more updates from this one throughout the Summer.

DAUGHERTY TWP. -- Ashlyn Beatrice will blaze a trail for future child actresses when she stars in a world premiere production of "Dinosaurs Before Dark."
Beatrice, a third-grader at New Brighton Elementary School, will play Annie, the female lead in the popular children's story about a flying tree house, magical books, dinosaurs and two siblings from fictional Frog Creek, Pa.
The story is part of American author Mary Pope Osborne's award-winning "Magic Tree House" series, which has sold more than 2 million copies, is on the shelves of many elementary school libraries, and been translated into Japanese.
Teaching lessons about friendship, sibling love and the importance of a fertile imagination, the children's musical production of "Dinosaurs Before Dark" will be premiered by the Butler County-based Jeter Backyard Theater.
Beatrice, a 9-year-old Daugherty Township resident, is a member of the theater group, having playing Sebastian in this month's production of "The Little Mermaid."
Beatrice previously starred as the Genie in a children's version of "Aladdin" by Ellwood City theater group Studio P, and was the Young Kangaroo in "Seussical" performed this summer by Comtra Theatre in Cranberry Township.
"She's just one of those kids who at age 2, when everyone else her age was watching 'Barney' she was watching 'Phantom of the Opera,'" her mother, Tricia Boots Beatrice, said. "She's very professional about acting, and takes it very seriously."
Beatrice said, "This opportunity means the world to me. It's awesome to play a character from a book that is popular with my friends."
Beatrice was part of a Jeter group that performed at Music Theater International's Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta. The group presented two "Dinosaurs Before Dark" songs for an audience of 5,000 people that included Osborne.
Through that performance, JBT procured the rights to perform the pilot Broadway Kids version of the show, featuring performers in grades kindergarten through 5.
It's a show for kids and by kids, debuting at 7 p.m. Dec. 8 and 2 p.m. Dec. 9 at Legacy Theater in the Cumberland Woods Village, an independent-living retirement community in Hampton Township. Tickets cost $10, half of which will benefit Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.
The notes, score edits and cast photos initiated by Jeter Backyard Theater will be used when the show is published for licensing in 2013.
"Presenting a pilot production of this kind is a challenge," JBT founder and director Christie Jeter said in a press release. "Being the first director to interpret these beloved characters for the stage and create an overall vision for sets, costumes and tech is a huge responsibility. I hope the choices I�ve made serve the story well and that children recognize and fondly remember their favorite book as it comes to life on stage."

Beyond the Metronome
by Malcolm Mac Santiago
by Bill Stieger
There has never existed a musician who has not, at least on occasion, struggled with keeping an even tempo, either as an individual performer or as a member of an ensemble. Whether tempo difficulties originate in the instrumentalists perception of musical time, or by way of performing a difficult musical passage that hinders rhythmic evenness, the existence of the problem--for all musicians--is inescapable. Beyond the Metronome, is a book, along with an accompanying cd, designed to enable musicians and singers improve their sense of internal time, and become, as author Malcolm Mac Santiago calls it, inchronous.
Santiago defines inchronous as, Exhibiting an ability to play rhythm accurately in steady time without the aid of a metronome, recorded music, or other musicians... Whether one wants to call having a steady inner clock being inchronous, or simply groovy is immaterial. What is material is that Beyond the Metronome may prove be among the most indispensable rhythm aids a musician can own.
In the books preface, Santiago asserts--and correctly--that playing ones instrument along with a metronome is to simply to follow its rhythm. By doing this you may eventually recognize what is in time, writes Santiago,but theres an important difference: you didnt create the time, the metronome did. You simply followed.
So how does a musician learn to be inchronous? Santiago offers a roadmap to rhythmic redemption.
The first part of the book is entitled: Tools of Inchronation.
Lesson 1 begins with a rhythmic self-evaluation test. Using one of the cds 326 click tracks, which consists of various tempos, with various subdivisions and time alterations. In this lesson, the musician discovers his or her rhythmic tendencies as the clicks diminish from quarters to half-notes, whole notes, and tied whole notes that span more than four measures. Those results can be written down on the Margin-of-Error Spreadsheet that accompanies the book.
Chapters 2 and 3 explore properties known to many musicians: the concept of subdividing, verbally and mentally, to keep ones place over a span of beats, as well as what Santiago calls The Little Dance, which he defines as walking in place, tapping your foot, tapping the side of your leg, bobbing your head, shoulder movements, etc.
Chapter 4 addresses the matter of rhythmic evenness, or what Santiago calls rhythmony, the rhythmic counterpart of harmony, or the synchronization of sound in time. Among the exercises offered in this chapter is the use of two metronomes, played at slightly differing tempos. Notice how they separate and come together and determine when rhythmony (or perfect rhythmic unison) has been achieved.
Following Chapter 4 are chapters on creating tempo with half and whole note clicks; a chapter where the musician gives the click its value by playing a written rhythm to it, followed by the therapeutic exercise of playing to a click that diminishes, which can go far in teaching the musician to become rhythmically self-reliant.
Part Two of Beyond the Metronome, entitled Concepts and Applications, introduces many of the psychological factors in attaining and keeping strong, musical time. Santiago addresses cognitive, or conscious responses, versus reactive, or automatic responses. Santiago believes that timekeeping can be viewed as an indication of how much the performance has become a reactive response, which he believes is a measure of a musicians familiarity with the music. A chapter entitled Tempo Memory is one to interest any bandleader who has counted in a group of musicians. Santiago sites tempo by association as the concept for accurate count-ins, with relative reference tempos listed of well-known hits of every stripe.
Musicians, or course, vary their attacks as to where they place their beats--most often called time-feel--in relation to the pulse, no matter which style of music is being played. Expressions like playing on top, In the pocket, or behind the beat is common parlance on nearly every bandstand. The choice to play on top, in front, or behind the beat is something the player must be in control of, writes Santiago. The chapter ends with another exercise that utilizes two metronomes.
The last chapters of Beyond the Metronome deal with accelerando and retardando, dynamics, and a host of challenging exercises involving volume drops, elongated clicks, along with a blank self-evaluation test that can be copied for the ongoing monitoring of ones timekeeping progress.
Beyond the Metronome is self-published by Mr. Santiago, and can be purchased for $21.95 via his website, www.inchronicity.com.
The beauty of Santiagos Beyond the Metronome lies not only in its brilliant and useful timekeeping exercises, but in its convenience. A musician can practice the exercises anywhere he or she has access to laptop or any device that can either play back the recorded drills from the cd. Take a flight from Los Angeles to New York, and land in the Big Apple with a elevated feeling for the groove. Is this possible? Santiago insists that it is. All he asks is to be able to prove it to you.
PS: I heard that the above website is under construction. To order a copy of "Beyond the Metronome, visit macsantiagomusic.com or contact Ellis Drum Shop, St. Paul, Minnesota
Re: Beyond the Metronome
Hey - this sounds good. Are there any reviews? Has anyone else worked through this book yet?
Does it have a section on timing and different subdivisions for swing /jazz feels?
I'm after some good books along these lines
Thanks a lot, Caz

Earlier this week my older sister called me in an uproar. My niece (Amaya), who is in the second grade, has been very unhappy at school for the past few weeks and after much prodding she finally broke down and told me sister about two girls in her class who had been bullying her and a friend. Most of the bullying was targeted at Amaya's friend Caleb, a young boy who is half African-American, and consisted of run-of-the-mill bullying: pencil stealing, lunch box hiding, playground teasing, etc. However, several days ago one of the girls told Amaya's friend that his "skin color is ugly" and that "white is right." Once my initial feelings of outrage and disgust subsided, I realized this was an opportunity to listen rhetorically in order evaluate the identifications and implications circling through the situation.
First, although Ratcliffe cautions against adopting a "color-blind" approach to race issues because it completely disregards differences, in this case it is difference that has made Caleb a target. Here I part ways with Ratcliffe to a certain degree and wonder if "color-blindness" is what should be encouraged when addressing a group of second graders about race issues. At a predominately white school in a predominately white town, the girls making these comments are part of the dominant group, and Caleb's different skin color sets him apart in a very apparent way. Perhaps at this level children should be encouraged to ignore skin color in order to prevent such dis/identification from occurring. At the very least this approach is a stop-gap until more complicated ideas about the intersections of whiteness can be understood. Ratcliffe writes that "differences must be bridged in order to construct a place of identification", something the two second-grade bullies have not done, and that when the identification is made in terms of "not me" violence becomes a risk (59). The girls are disidentifying with Caleb, yet they seem aware of their own whiteness insofar as it is dominant and correct in terms of their own identifications. Granted, these girls are young are perhaps not aware of the weight their words carry, but it is discouraging to think children so young are already being socialized into an invisible whiteness that assumes privilege.
More than just the disidentifcation of the bullies, the teacher seems to be employing a form of dysfunctional silence in response to the racially charged actions and words taking place in her classroom, as there were no consequences for the use of such negative language. According to Ratcliffe, dysfunctional silence encourages readers (or in this case the teacher) to ignore such comments "by accepting them without critique" (87). At this point, I am no longer rhetorically listening to the underlying assumptions and presuppositions of a seven year old, but rather am overwhelmed by the "deafening silence" carried out by the teacher, who "discourages both speaking and listening" through her lack of intervention. Ratcliffe's pedagogical listening is geared toward college teachers, but her tactics are applicable at any level. Ratcliffe challenges all teachers to help their students understand how the implications of cultural diversity are present everywhere, and acknowledge a responsibility for addressing, explaining, and naming their implications in a way that uncovers categories of dominant and non-dominant (136). The tactics used might be different in the college writing course, but the lessons about identification, gender, and whiteness are just as important and relevant in the elementary classroom.
More than just the words of the students and the silence of the teacher, I am concerned about the impact the ongoing bullying will have on Amaya and Caleb's process of identification. In terms of Burke's view of identification "the individual's identity is formed by reference to his membership in a group" (qtd. in Ratcliffe 56), and Caleb is being excluded from the group based on a physical difference. While a single identification doesn't make up a person's identity, at this point in his life Caleb has been relegated to the position of "other" and denied membership in the group based on race. He will have to learn about the "dominant culture's home place" if he is work, learn, and play alongside his white classmates, who, due to their position in the dominant group, will never be asked to do the same (63). Also, Ratcliffe says "easy identifications may mask power differentials and coerced differences" (72). Though the bullies have made easy, surface level identifications with their classmates based the white/black binary, more specific identifications could result in the exclusion of my niece whose paternal heritage is Middle Eastern. Amaya's "race" reminds me of Ratcliffe's "pacific islander" student who was born and raised in Illinois: Amaya cannot mark "white" on a survey, but she does not identify with the "middle eastern/Arab" bubble either.
Honestly, I'm saddened that at seven years old my niece and her classmates are already aware of and forwarding the white/black, white/non-white binaries that haunt our country. In fact, a recent study conducted by UCLA found that children as young as seven were aware of the "ethnically-based stigma" that runs through American culture. Second graders are "sensitive to ethnic attitudes in society" and those ethnic attitudes are being expressed in full force in Amaya's class. Ratcliffe's suggestion of rhetorical listening could help addressed this situation if employed by the adults involved because troubled identifications become more audible, more visible, and easier to navigate with increased awareness (66). Rhetorical listening should be use not just to listen metonymically or pedagogically with students who are able to serve as active participants in the conversation, but as a means of addressing the troubled identifications surfacing at all levels.

Kirtland's Warbler program coming to Nature Center
The endangered Kirtland's Warbler — a bird that lives primarily in northern Michigan's jack pine forests — is the topic of a Nov. 10 presentation at the Chippewa Nature Center by the Kirtland's Warbler Alliance.
The Kirtland's Warbler is a Michigan conservation success story. From fewer than 400 birds in the population to more than 4,600 in 2015, the Kirtland's Warbler population has grown steadily because of hard work, long-term vision and a commitment to partnership. Dr. David Ewert and other members of the Kirtland's Warbler Alliance will tell the story of the Kirtland's Warbler and how the species was brought back from the brink of extinction.
But an increase in numbers and delisting isn't the end of the story. Learn what it means to delist a conservation-reliant species and the challenges the species faces not just to survive, but to keep singing into the future.
Join the Kirtland's Warbler Alliance for this presentation titled The Kirtland's Warbler: From Near Extinction to Conservation on Thursday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. at the Chippewa Nature Center, 400 S. Badour Road. This program is free and open to the public.

I beat myself up about that chocolate bar (and the missed workouts, and the cookies, and the lattes, and the glasses wine) all darn night until I drifted off sleep.
The whole drive into work I thought about my lack of focus over the last few weeks. I thought about how no one is perfect and everyone falls off the wagon occasionally and decided it's HOW you get back on that wagon and not just ride it but make it yours!
What I did (and didn't do) is in the past and today is a new day and I am gonna ride that wagon and make it my biotch!

"Pepper and I got a prefect score of 100/100 on our last Rally Advanced trial. We got a 99 on the trail just before that. We got high in class on both runs and there was a lot of others competing as well. Both runs were on the April Rally Trials held by SKOC, where we got our RA title. I owe this result to Cam and Jerri's Rally classes. I knew close to nothing about rally before taking the classes starting back in Oct 2015. I barely made it through the novice level and certainly would not have made it without the advice Cam gave me during the pre trial mat time during the April 2015 trails. This is the reason why my wife and I had joined the club."

Here are my TIAS projects through Day 4. It made me think of a candle and my husband said it looked like Baby Jesus in the manger.
Those are really good guesses Becky and hubby! (:
Still don't know what it is, but I'm more intrigued after today! TattyCat
Sherry asked for a light color, a medium color and a dark color. Well, I didn't have the 3 shades in the same color, so I have had to make do with 3 different colors in different shades. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
NOTE: Your colors do not have to be in the same color family.
Now my lego is beginning to take shape. Today it's going to be a Christmas candle. Mmmmmm, probably not as we're climbing out of the flame with a split ring!!!Jane - bewitched and bewildered!!!
Sherry, This is my progress so far. Is it something for the ButtonFamily? Thank you for doing this for us. Karen
Getting interesting now, bring it on. lots of fun and wondering what it could possibly be.
