It was time to tell them…all issues had been discussed, adult-level decisions made.
So on a beautiful Sunday morning in April I attended worship, centered myself, and called a family meeting as I walked in the door. My children were on the laptop looking at new cell phone plans and asked me when they were due for upgrades…I pocketed this inquiry to be used for my advantage.
We gathered in our family room, and I barely had to say a word. They knew something was up and guessed "you are getting married," to which I responded "well, yes, eventually"
Kids: "Wait, are they moving here?"
Me: "well, no."
Kids: "We are moving to Pennsylvania?
And that is about all I remember from those initial minutes. Because what happened after that time was an eruption I had not even fathomed possible. Two of my children were sobbing uncontrollably. Of course, I expected them to be upset, but never expected such a strong reaction. I reminded them they would only be 45 minutes away, would get their drivers licenses earlier, and would be attending better schools. I gave a laundry list of reasons of how the move would benefit everyone…but in the plans I had for this discussion I knew I had nothing that could dull the pain of leaving their friends.
Honestly, I was a bit stunned during these few minutes. It was the first time I saw how my children really do love their friends and their schools. Sure, the cops visit the hallways often, there are weave fights at the bus loop, and a few kids with ankle bracelets walk the hallways. But to my children our home and this school system is all that they have ever known…and a part of me knew I was ripping them out their comfort zone.
Going in I had no idea how they were actually going to react but knew their would be sadness. I did not expect hysterical tears. Very quickly, through the waterworks, they did say they were happy tC and I wanted to kick our relationship up a notch. My heart has been called across the river – they knew I was planning on moving as soon as the youngest graduated from High School. We talked how we were moving up the timeline because we didn't want to wait any longer, we wanted to blend the family now, and I wanted them to have roots where I plan to be as they go through college.
I had a few pangs of guilt, but know this is a fantastic move for them. For the immediate future, I had no idea how to stop the tears…until it finally hit me and I announced…
Please park your judgement at the corner and read on…

It's an early, rainy, blessedly cool morning here. The Big Dude left for work, the Little Dude is still asleep, and it's just me, some coffee, the Cooking Channel (my new addiction-they have Julia and Nigella!), and the cat. So I'm going to take advantage of the quiet to plan out some cooking for the week, and my grocery list.
I do a kind of modified stockpiling-I don't have the room, or the desire, to have a fully stocked basement to last me through the zombie apocalypse. But I do like to know that I have a few jars of pasta sauce in the cabinet. So my rules are that I have to have room to store it, and I have to keep it organized so I know exactly what I have at a glance. The first rule was put into place when I first told the Big Dude I wanted to coupon and stock up on the cheap. He was for it, but he's been exposed to TLC's Extreme Couponing, so he needed reassurance that I wouldn't set up shelving in our living room. So food stays in the kitchen, and it's all hidden in cabinets. Bathroom supplies are either under the sink, or on a shelf in the linen closet. The closest I've come to "extreme" with the storage is putting Jeffrey's extra diapers and a couple of packs of TP under his crib. There's a skirt to hide it, so no one can tell it's there.
Here's my confession-the second rule, keep it organized so I can see it all in a glance, came about because I confused several bottles of body wash for shampoo and conditioner. Thinking that I only had a few bottles of body wash, and knowing that my goal was to stock us up for about 6 months, I bought more. I now have 15 bottles of body wash, which was a bit beyond my goal. It did make me feel kind of hoardish, but at least it's something we'll use, and it won't go bad in the meantime. But lesson learned-know your contents!
In the course of stocking my various shower supplies, I realized that I hate how expensive face wash, masks, and scrubs are. So I took to the internet for a cheap, natural solution. And I learned that baking soda is my friend! A simple face wash is 1 T. of honey and 1/2 T. of baking soda. Mix, apply to damp skin. The honey will both soothe and clean (it's antibacterial-who knew?), while the baking soda will exfoliate. I wouldn't recommend making a large batch, I just mix it in the palm of my hand. And if you want a moisturizing mask, combine 1 c. plain yogurt with 1/2 c. rolled (non-instant) oatmeal. Apply to your face, leave on for 15 minutes, rinse. No need to wash after, and it's safe for sensitive skin.
As far as body scrubs go, I'm super lazy and usually just rub in some baking soda straight. But if you want a more spa-like treatment, combine 1/4 c. oil (olive is what I tried), 1/8 c. coarse brown sugar, and 1/8 c. salt (kosher works well). You can add an essential oil if you wish, but take care to not let the essential oil get on your skin without it being combined in the scrub. Trust me, you don't want a swollen, peeling face because you got it on your fingers then scratched your chin. This could be made ahead and stored in a jar. If you have a sunburn, eczema, or other skin issues, leave out the salt and use 1/4 c. of the brown sugar.
Finally-today's Groupon has me all excited. It's carpet cleaning! Two rooms, a child's room, and a hallway, cleaned and stain treated, for $47! It's for the Columbus area only, but I'm totally getting this. It would clean and stain treat my entire apartment! It's good for purchase through Thursday, but don't let this one slip by.

This summer before you crank down the air conditioning another 10 degrees, look to these energy saving tips to help you through this hot summer, your pocket will thank you!
1. Keep your thermostat away from heat sources like lamps, for example, to stop your thermostat from misreading the real room temperature (and turning on the air conditioner to compensate).
2. Set your indoor temperature at 78 degrees - you could save 3 - 5% off your energy bill.
3. Use a ceiling fan to cool rooms. It works great with an air conditioner set on low, and when you set it to rotate counter-clockwise, it creates a wind chill effect.
4. Take advantage of longer sunny days and use natural light instead of electric.
5. Keep your refrigerator / freezer temperatures at 36°F - 42°F for fridges and -5°F - +6°F for freezers. This is more than enough and avoids electricity wastage.
6. Draw the blinds in your rooms; shutting out sunlight during the day will keep rooms cooler.
7. Use a dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air; less humidity makes you feel cooler and reduces the workload on your air conditioner.
8. Make sure you have an energy efficient air conditioner. SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficient Ratio) ratings of 10.0 or higher for split air conditioners, and 9.7 for package ones are recognized as energy efficient. Units 10 years or older are likely to have an efficiency rating of 7.5 SEER or less, and should be replaced.
9. If you have a pool, don't run the pump 24 hours a day. 4-6 hours is more than enough and can save you a significant amount of money.
10. Set your water temperature to 120°F, as it requires less energy to heat water to a lower temperature.

French acting legend Michele Morgan passes away at 96
French actor Michele Morgan died at 96, her family said. She starred in some 70 movies and took home the best actress prize at the first-ever Cannes film festival.world cinema Updated: Dec 21, 2016 18:36 IST
French screen legend Michele Morgan, who starred in some 70 movies and took home the best actress prize at the first-ever Cannes film festival has died, her family said. She was 96.
An icon of glamour, Morgan was remembered for a regal azure gaze which she first turned on Jean Gabin as an 18-year-old ingenue in Port of Shadows (Quai des Brumes), a 1938 gangster movie.
"You've got lovely eyes, you know," he told her, forever sealing Morgan's fate in French filmography as the "most beautiful pair of eyes in cinema".
"It bothers me to hear that repeated so often", she was known to say much later -- though she still gave her 1977 memoirs the title "With eyes like that..."
"Michele Morgan was more than just a gaze. She personified elegance and grace, and her legend left its mark on many generations," French President Francois Hollande said in a statement.
Claude Lelouch, who directed her in the 1975 Cat and Mouse, paid tribute to her as "the one we all wanted to hold in our arms".
Morgan starred alongside Gabin, Jean Marais and Michel Simon, as well as Humphrey Bogart, and won her Cannes award in 1946 for her role as a blind woman in La Symphonie Pastorale, Jean Delannoy's adaptation of an Andre Gide novel.
Her career flourished in the 1940s to 1960s, and faded with the arrival of New Wave cinema.
Nevertheless, as late as 1975 a poll of French cinema-goers crowned her for the 10th time the "most popular French actress".
Born Simone Roussel in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly on February 29, 1920 -- a leap-year date which allowed her to joke that the could "age four times more slowly than everyone else" -- she spent most of her childhood in the Normandy port of Dieppe.
She left home at 15 in the hopes of reaching fame like American-Swedish actress Greta Garbo, entered drama school in Paris, and soon won a bit part in her first film, Mademoiselle Mozart.
Her first starring role under her adopted name of Michele Morgan was in Marc Allegret's Gribouille (1937).
That was soon followed by her momentous encounter with Gabin, with whom she was to appear again in Jean Gremillon's Remorque, released in 1942 during the German occupation of France.
Later that year Morgan left for the United States after marrying the American actor Bill Marshall.
There she made four films, playing opposite Frank Sinatra in Higher and Higher (1943) and Bogart in Passage to Marseilles (1944), director Michael Curtiz's unsuccessful attempt to repeat the Bogart-Bergman magic of Casablanca.

Matsutake (Japanese: 松茸, pine mushroom, Tricholoma matsutake = syn. T. nauseosum) is the common name for a highly sought after mycorrhizal mushroom that grows in Asia, Europe, and North America. It is prized by the Japanese for its distinct spicy-aromatic odor.
Habitat and distribution
Matsutake grow under trees and are usually concealed under fallen leaves and duff on the forest floor. It forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of a limited number of tree species. Matsutake are known to grow in China, Japan, Korea, Finland, Sweden, among other countries. In Japan it is most commonly associated with Japanese Red Pine.[3]
Similar species
In the North American Pacific Northwest Tricholoma magnivelare is found in coniferous forests made up of one or more of the following species: Douglas-fir, Noble Fir, Shasta Red Fir, Sugar Pine, Ponderosa Pine or Lodgepole Pine. In California and parts of Oregon, it is also associated with hardwoods, including Tanoak, Madrone, Rhododendron, Salal, and Manzanita. T. magnivelare is typically called White Matsutake as it does not feature the brown coloration of the Asian specimen.
In 1999, N. Bergius and E. Danell reported that Swedish (Tricholoma nauseosum) and Japanese matsutake (T. matsutake) are the same species.[4] The report led to increased import of matsutake from Northern Europe to Japan because of the comparable flavor and taste.
Cost and availability
Matsutake are hard to find, though simple to harvest, and, therefore, the price is very high. Domestic production of matsutake in Japan has been sharply reduced over the last 50 years due to a pine nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, and it has influenced the price a great deal. The annual harvest of matsutake in Japan is now less than 1,000 tons, and the Japanese mushroom supply is largely made up by imports from China, Korea, the North American Pacific Northwest (Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia), and Northern Europe (Sweden and Finland).[5] The price for matsutake in the Japanese market is highly dependent on quality, availability, and origin. The Japanese matsutake at the beginning of the season, which is the highest grade, can go up to $2,000 per kilogram. In contrast, the average value for imported matsutake is about $90 per kilogram.[6]

Abstract: We present some important conclusions from recent calculations pertaining tothe collapse of rotating molecular cloud cores with axial symmetry,corresponding to evolution of young stellar objects through classes 0 and beginof class I. Three main issues have been addressed: 1 The typical timescalefor building up a preplanetary disk - once more it turned out that it is of theorder of one free-fall time which is decisively shorter than the widely assumedtimescale related to the so-called -inside-out collapse-; 2 Redistribution ofangular momentum and the accompanying dissipation of kinetic rotationalenergy - together these processes govern the mechanical and thermal evolutionof the protostellar core to a large extent; 3 The origin ofcalcium-aluminium-rich inclusions CAIs - due to the specific pattern of theaccretion flow, material that has undergone substantial chemical andmineralogical modifications in the hot exceeding 900 K interior of theprotostellar core may have a good chance to be advectively transported outwardinto the cooler remote parts beyond 4 AU, say of the growing disk and tosurvive there until it is incorporated into a meteoritic body.

The wit and insight of Alan Bennett's highly acclaimed Talking Heads will be celebrated by Seaford Little Theatre next week.
Bennett is one of this country's best loved writers and, with work like Lady In The Van, The History Boys and The Madness of George III, has become a national treasure.
Talking Heads was written for television as a series of dramatic monologues in which carefully drawn and identifiable characters lay bare their lives straight to camera.
Director Victoria Thompson is now bringing four of those stories to the Seaford stage - A Chip In the Sugar, Soldiering On, Lady of Letters and A Bed Among the Lentils. With performances from Stephen Newberry, Sue Shephard, Tricia Pape, and Sylvia Aston, this show will also feature some innovations new to Seaford Little Theatre, in order to provide the intimacy of atmosphere that the production requires.
Victoria said: "Alan Bennett is one of the most observant playwrights when it comes to writing about vulnerability. His work is timeless because it deals with human frailty and is equally funny and sad in the telling."
A Chip In the Sugar concerns Graham who is living comfortably at home with his mam when he finds himself potentially sidelined after his mother takes up with a new man. Soldiering On is about Muriel, a pillar of the community, who resolves to take control of her life after her husband dies, only to find that being too trusting is not always the best policy. In Lady of Letters, Irene is a woman who is not afraid to speak or rather write when she sees perceived injustice or social ills in the world, regardless of the possible consequences. And A Bed Among the Lentils tells the story of Susan, a vicar's wife, who struggles to maintain the image required of her position and seeks solace from her local grocer, who is only too happy to provide it.
Evening performances start at 7.45pm and the matinées on Saturday February 13 and Sunday February 14 at 2.30pm. Tickets are on sale from Redgold Opticians, 32 Broad Street, Seaford, BN25 1ND, or purchase online from email@example.com. For general enquiries regarding this production ring Ray Cox 07984280067.

Want to know different ways to connect with classrooms around the world? Joining up with a Global Project is a fantastic way to connect, collaborate and communicate with other schools.
"The project was created in 2010 with a simple goal in mind; one book to connect the world. Now with two years under our belt and more than 2,000 connections made, we realize we are on to something larger than us so we look forward to continuing the global connections.
The premise is simple; we pick a book to read aloud to our students during a set 4-week period and during that time we try to make as many global connections as possible. Each teacher decides how much time they would like to dedicate and how involved they would like to be. Some people choose to connect with just one class, while others go for as many as possible. The scope and depth of the project is up to you. In the past we have used Twitter, Skype, Edmodo, our wiki, email, regular mail, Kidblog, and any other tools we can think of to make these connections. Teachers get a community of other educators to do a global project with, hopefully inspiring them to continue these connections through the year"
The books for 2012 were:

The City of Claremont, Ca is a city that emerged from the construction of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1887 to connect Chicago and Los Angeles. The railroad allowed for Eastern investment to come to California and buy land. In anticipation of a large influx of migration to Claremont, a Victorian style train station was built (Santa Fe Station), which is a historical and significant figure for the city. Although efforts were made to make it accessible and land affordable the anticipated boom never came and Claremont nearly became a ghost town.
It wasn't until the Second World War when Claremont became increasingly popular place to live. The decline of the citrus industry in Claremont was in large part by housing developments. In 1954, San Bernardino Freeway made it possible for people to connect to Claremont.
What many city's in Southern California and Claremont are facing are the transportation related issues. Many of those problems are directly related to the vision Los Angeles had before World War 2. Los Angeles' vision of itself before World War 2 was naively utopian: "We can keep taking, keep growing, keep driving, and any problems we might encounter along the way will be easily handled by future generations." Many of those after effects are become more apparent as we continue to develop sporadically without creating sustainable means of transportation.
Claremont is the hub of transportation in the area. Claremont's transportation network is served by four main transportation providers, and by Foothill Transit and Metrolink. Nonetheless, the primary mode of transportation is still the automobile. A key element in creating sustainable communities is to provide alternative modes of transportation. The recent development of bicycle transit systems has emerged in the city, by Mobis Transportation, that provide a complete bicycle transit center, located in the Historic Claremont Depot in downtown, that includes a variety of services and amenities that make bicycling more secure and convenient, including bike parking, bike repairing and rental services.

It was a simple yet glorious sketch of Superman drawn by his father that first inspired a very young Scott to pick up a pencil. A healthy and robustdiet of Mad Magazines, newspaper comic strips, Monty Python reruns and Chuck Jones animation throughout his childhood not only strengthened a love of drawing, but that of storytelling as well.
Scott has produced work for television commercials, magazines, toys and comics. He spends his free time at his drafting board working on creations of his own.
Originally from the seaport of Gloucester, Massachusetts, Scott currently resides on the Southwest gulf coast of Florida (he can't stand living too far from the ocean) with his wife, two daughters and a rather affable pug named Linus Van Pelt.

The Essential Federalist presents a bold new approach to The Federalist Papers. By careful selection, reorganization, and annotation of the document's meaningful passages, this book showcases the essential Federalist in a way that helps readers decipher the best of the commentary. Careful headings, notes, and indexing make this an excellent guide for anyone who seeks to understand this powerful resource.
Author Notes
Alexander Hamilton was born on January 11, 1757 on the West Indian Island of Nevis. His mother died in 1769, around the same time his father went bankrupt. Hamilton joined a counting house in St. Croix where he excelled at accounting. From 1772 until 1774, he attended a grammar school in Elizabethtown, New Jersey, and went on to study at King's College.
Hamilton entered the Revolutionary movement in 1774 at a public gathering in New York City with a speech urging the calling of a general meeting of the colonies. That same year, he anonymously wrote two pamphlets entitled, A Full Vindication of the Measures of Congress from the Calumnies of Their Enemies and The Farmer Refuted. When the Revolutionary War began, Hamilton joined the army and became a Captain of artillery, where he served with distinction in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, Trenton and Princeton. He was introduced to George Washington by General Nathaniel Greene with a recommendation for advancement. Washington made Hamilton his aide-de-camp and personal secretary. He resigned in 1781 after a dispute with the General, but remained in the army and commanded a New York regiment of light infantry in the Battle of Yorktown.
Hamilton left the army at the end of the war, and began studying law in Albany, New York. He served in the Continental Congress in 1782-83, before returning to practice law, becoming one of the most prominent lawyers in New York City. In 1786, Hamilton participated in the Annapolis Convention and drafted the resolution that led to assembling the Constitutional Convention in 1787. He then helped to secure the ratification of the Constitution of New York with the help of John Jay and James Madison, who together wrote the collection of 85 essays which would become known as The Federalist. Hamilton wrote at least 51 of the essays. In 1789, Washington appointed him the first Secretary of the Treasury, a position at which he excelled at and gained a vast influence in domestic and foreign issues, having convinced Washington to adopt a neutral policy when war broke out in Europe in 1793. In 1794, Hamilton wrote the instructions for a diplomatic mission which would lead to the signing of Jay's Treaty. He returned to his law practice in 1795.
President John Adams appointed Hamilton Inspector General of the Army at the urging of Washington. He was very much involved with the politics of the country though, and focused his attentions on the presidential race of 1800. Hamilton did not like Aaron Burr and went out of his way to make sure that he did not attain a nomination. Similarly, when Burr ran for mayor of New York, Hamilton set about to ruin his chances for that position as well. Burr provoked an argument with Hamilton to force him to duel. Hamilton accepted and the two met on July 11, 1804 at Weehawken, New Jersey. Hamilton was shot and mortally wounded and died on July 12, 1804.

Library Journal Review
Taylor (The Other Machiavelli: Republican Writings by the Author of "The Prince," Univ. of America, 1998) offers a genuinely new and intriguing approach to The Federalistthe 85 articles written in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay to persuade Americans to ratify the new Constitution. He notes that The Federalist ranks in importance with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and yet is rarely read today by average citizens because of its length and its dense, archaic language. He has therefore culled the most important sections and pasted them together by topic in nine different chapters. Purists might object to this Reader's Digest approach, but Taylor is a scrupulous scholar who organizes the material carefully. The book contains a lengthy, informative introduction as well as substantial endnotes. Highly recommended for both public and academic libraries.Thomas J.

Today's TMIT was inspired by my muse, Just a Girl.
When I was in college, there was a girl us student managers absolutely loved to hate. She was an athletic trainer for the fooseball team and did a lot more than just medical treatments for the guys.
She was a Class-A bitch, too. One of those "I'm-the-shit" kind of girls who in actually is the ugly friend? You know those girls. They photo shop their facebook pictures to make themselves look thinner and tanner while their friends are all distorted?
This is a story about her unfortunate run-ins with body fluids - and how she got the nick-name "Oh Shit."
Story #1: Poop Check
Setting: House Party
Oh Shit's Level of Drunk: 11 out of 10
Ever been so drunk that you couldn't tell if you shit your pants or not? Well, she was. There are no words I can string together that would give this story justice. You just had to be there. However, below is the conversation I witnessed:
Oh Shit: "I think I shit my pants."
Slutbag Friend: "No way! Are you sure?"
OS: "I think so..." ::reached down pants to check in the middle of the room::
SF: "That's gross, ********."
OS: ::pulls hand of of pants only to discover she did, in fact, shit her pants:: "Oh Shit!" ::runs shit-covered limb THROUGH HER HAIR::
Oh shit, indeed.
Story #2: Puke-tacuklar
Setting: Local Dive Bar
Oh Shit's Level of Drunk: 8 out of 10
It was a Saturday night after a home football game. Everyone who was involved in the football team was drinking their faces off to forget the fact that they had to do it all again come Monday.
One player had a little too much to drink and proceeded to do what any red-blooded kid who just slammed 260,o82 beers on an empty stomach does: vomited. Everywhere. On himself, on the floor, and in the cup he was holding. Afterward, he placed the cup on the table he was sitting at and walked away like nothing happened. (Who does that?!)
Being the ever so pleasant person
Until she walked by. It was at this moment in time I felt it was appropriate to take a long, slow drink to preoccupy my mouth.
I swear this seriously happened in slow motion. She sauntered by sashaying her non-existent hips.
Her left heel hit the puke.
She began to slip.
She grabbed the table to steady herself. (Now here is where I need to remind you that Pukey McFootball Player left his vomit-filled cup on said table.)
The table didn't hold. And as she fell into the source of her slip on the ground, the glass left on the table fell onto her.
She. Was. Soaked. In. Vomit.
It was glorious.
Oh shit, indeed.

Bag the only one
Beeline Reader
We're constantly looking for innovative ways to improve the Springwise experience, and so we're now introducing BeeLine Reader, a new technology that helps you read more quickly and efficiently. To learn more about BeeLine Reader, an award-winning startup funded by Intel Capital, see BeeLineReader.com.
Just when Springwise thought it had seen every MASSCLUSIVITY angle to the limited edition craze, VIP lounge ropes, pop-up stores and curated collections, here comes less-than-a-year old Austrian One Day One Bag, a company that designs (you guessed it) one unique bag a day. Each bag comes with its creation date, and the signature of the designer, Sabine Fasching.
Spotted another good idea???

I cannot believe that spring is going to be here tomorrow!! I feel like I just drank in the new year with a bottle of Martinelli's in a houseful of family and friends! But here it is, the middle of March with springtime on its way and another chance for new beginnings. New Year's isn't the only time for fresh starts. Springtime, birthdays, the beginning of the school year in the fall, the start of a new job, etc.. Life comes in seasons and new beginnings present themselves in all sorts of places!
This is one of the reasons why I'm here instead of my old blog, Popcorn and Purple Ink. It's time for a new season of blogging. Time for a fresh canvas, a clean slate. There are things I want to try, personal limits I want to push, and a comfort zone I want to escape. I felt like those were good enough reasons to create a new space in the corner of the interwebs.
I've been thinking about this for a loooooong time. Moving to a new blog can be kind of a big thing, not to mention a hassle, and I've been vacillating between staying put and moving to a brand new space. What finally jumpstarted me was the fact that my Popcorn and Purple Ink site was having issues. Since I was already planning on switching hosting services, and since I'd been exploring new ideas and playing with a new platform concept, I figured now was as good a time as any to make the switch.
Popcorn is still my forever snack passion *giggle* but when it came to making changes to my internet presence, I decided it needed to be dropped. I have a new project in the works and several other projects on the drawing board and in order to showcase my future stuff, I needed a different space that embodied it all better. And where does a creative do her work? In a studio, yeah?
Hello Purple Ink Studios!
I'm soooo excited about the new site and what springtime will inspire! I love this time of year and I don't know if it's spring fever or just the creative bug but I'm itching to make the most of the brand new season!
Welcome to my new space and if we're meeting for the first time, I look forward to becoming friends!
Stay blessed 🙂

I also want to admit— now--I know these things are merely my own personal, picky desires, picked fresh from the fertile ground of my imagination, which produces more wants than
I want to add, maybe somebody at His Holiness' teaching wanted me to get karma detention for wearing lipstick. I am not alone here on the planet, not the only human thing going. I know mine are dime a dozen pipe dreams because Buddhism reminds me every day that every other human being sharing the earth with me is juggling oodles more of their own. As the Dalai Lama likes to say, everybody is chasing down happiness one way or another. This is probably why we keep running into each other, with nasty headline results: everybody wants their wants uber alles and becomes such a sore loser when that doesn't happen. Read all about it.
As the Dalai Lama will also tell you, when you don't like something, it's quite human to want to make it go away. I want the airlines to get rid of all those squalling babies the parents refuse to tame. Others put erasers on pencils, lasers on chin hair, prohibitions on gays, gas chambers at
If there are no forks left in the road and it's all one way, that has to be the right way, (eh Sunnis and Shia?). That's why some folks are rejoicing that last week a medical procedure wanted as safe and useful in specific circumstances has been dispatched into the unwanted realm of heinous crime. They were not comfortable with the idea of it, so they wanted the reality of it to go away and got it shipped off, priority hail, to oblivion. Now these happy people don't have to suffer doubt or negative thoughts about that sort of abortion any more. Even if women have been having abortions for thousands of years and will keep on having them like it or not, they forced on us all their preference to forget about it, to deny it.
The keenest analysis I read of the Supreme Court decision to make late term abortions a crime was that the anti-abortion mob had won the incremental war of chipping away at the right to life's privacy, (make that: the right to female life's privacy), by changing the dialogue and thus forever the way people picture abortion. They unleashed the tactic of making people actually see exactly what happens. Not seeing the operation as perhaps painfully wrought liberation from suffering for the mother but only as something wantonly gruesome, creates so much negativity, people do not want to think about it and thus want to do away with all abortion. The analyst said their next likely move is to force women to watch videos of actual procedures at every fetal stage to raise awareness about what really happens.
Well, nothing pleases a Buddhist more than anteing up awareness. Consciousness raising is us. We are continually training to follow our breath, watch every movement of our mind so as not to inflict our "shit" on others. We're urged to dig down to our depths to become mindful of what is actually happening as we pass through life, how much fear we have of getting what we don't want, to wake up and smell the poses.
Naturally then, I want everyone to be more aware. And being American, I want that now. So going with the flow, I want all those folks who want to coerce others to watch videos of abortion to be forced to stand in front of the supermarket meat refrigeration bins and watch videos of animals caught in the apocalyptic horrors of factory farming. I want in their face close ups of the scare and feeding, the slaughterhouse vibe, the cellophane wrapping. I want them to see the whole antibiotic packed schmear, birth to death to barbeque.
I want them to go to sea to watch the dolphins die for their tuna fish sandwiches. After all, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa recently exhorted all Tibetan Buddhists not to inflict suffering on other beings by eating them for dinner. It indicates we value ourselves above all others, disregarding the value of those others. Better for all karma concerned, he said, to eat vegetables. I want these people who so loudly proclaim the right to life to see how much life they're lunching on.
I want these folks to be forced to see streaming videos of real time real war as it really kills, maims and upends real civilians, children, animals and young men dressed as soldiers. I want them to climb an oil rig to watch a wildcatter lose his fingers for the gasoline that powers their SUV to pizza glut. I want to know what is wrong with all these rights to life.
Forget last week's outcry about Korean killer Cho. I want those who think doctors (whose credo is" First Do No Harm") kill but guns don't to be force fed his video followed by pictures of NRA lobbyists (whose credo is "Show them the money") playing golf with Congressmen. I want them to see people being killed and the unquestioned profits of the manufacturers of the product that does it so niftily.
After all, if you are going to be pro life, it's probably best to be a pro about life. I want these people to sit for ten years straight at the bedside of a human vegetable, to live on the streets with unwanted children thrown out there, to room with a woman pregnant from rape or incest or carrying a fetus she knows is fatally flawed. I want them to see life in living color because, despite how much they want it so, life is never black and white. The Buddha said: deal with it. Be aware that everything has consequences and, alas, they will never end up being pleasant, no matter how fervently you want them to. That is the truth of suffering.
Life is never as you like it. Nobody can really make that bad news, that bogeyman, go away --especially just by wanting it to or passing off their wants, their ideal, their panic, onto me. The Buddha said it's better to reach out to others by example, by the disciplined perfection of your own life rather than by the fevered pitch of scattered sloganeering. Maybe this is because when you have your hands full minding your own business, you become aware of what tough stuff it is. You don't have the time or nerve to busybodily butt into that of strangers, wanting them to want to be exactly like you. You live and let live. That is my pro life ideal, my vision of world peace. So

A lot of attention paid to ABC's announcement of their fall schedule today was about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but for the nerdy among us, there was something else that might interest you, the spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.
Starring Peter Gadiot, Sophie Lowe, and Michael Socha, this new Wonderland seems like a combination of the Tim Burton movie and Walter Murch's Return to Oz, with Alice locked up in a looney bin for thinking her adventure in Wonderland was legit, and her almost believing it till a certain time conscience white rabbit makes a reappearance. The show will air Thursday nights at 8 starting this September.
Check out the first look at the show here:

Parent Info has partnered with the Dove Self-Esteem Project to offer parents advice and information to help children and young people build confidence and feel good about themselves.
In this article, we look at the influence of the media on and offline on how young people feel about themselves
Whether it is from what they see on TV, online or in magazines, young people are under pressure to look 'perfect' at all times. Your child may follow celebrities on social media, such as Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber, celebrated for their narrow waists or big muscles. This may make them feel that they should look like their favourite actor or pop star.
'Self-esteem among girls lowered by 80% just after 60 minutes of looking through magazines'
Studies, such as Body Image: An Introduction to Advertising and Body Image, found that self-esteem among girls lowered by 80% just after 60 minutes of looking through magazines. It also found that 6 out of 10 girls thought they would be happier if they were thinner.
It is a good idea to remind your child that the photos they see of their favourite celebrities, either in magazines or on their Instagram feeds, have been largely edited. Blemishes have been airbrushed and filters and professional lighting help accentuate certain facial and physical features.
Here is a quick checklist of activities you can do with your child to get them thinking about how celebrities are portrayed in the media and why it might be different for men and women.
- Start a conversation – the next time you watch a film with your child or you see them viewing a music video online, ask them if they notice how 'perfect' everyone looked. Find out whether this bothers them and if it impacts their own self-esteem.
- Redefine beauty – find examples of where TV shows, films or even beauty campaigns have celebrated everyone's differences and done away with the conventional idea of beauty by celebrating people that come in all shapes and sizes.
- Get critical – encourage your child to take every image they see in a magazine or online with a pinch of salt. Images are edited by professionals to look as perfect as possible and should never be taken at face value. Even images posted on Instagram can be edited using apps to make skin appear smoother or lighter.
Read more about how media stereotypes may affect your child's self-esteem
Tip: Watch this video with your child. Discuss how appearance ideals have changed over the years. Do they notice any major difference between the two sexes? Find out what they think.

Yes, we're headed south finally, but only after going north 180 miles this morning. Sandy learned last night that a cousin of hers had lost her husband and we felt that we ought to pay our respects to the family. So we were up early this morning to drive the 180 miles north before 10:30 AM today.
After the funeral, grave side service and luncheon at the church, we were finally able to leave. However, we continued going north to see Sandy's brother who is in a care center about 30 miles north. Of course, it was a joy to see him for the short visit. (He suffers from some right side paralysis as a result of a stroke.) He was obviously very surprised to see us.
Finally we broke away from all of the visiting and headed south. Our first observation was that we were getting better gas mileage, since the northwest wind was now a little bit behind us. It appears that the Honda mileage went from 25 mpg while going north to about 30 mpg while going south. Of course we're on the interstate and we were holding the speed close to about 65 mph more or less. We cleared Des Moines at 4 PM and traffic was busy, but not slowing up the traffic.
We have spent the last 5 days with Lavonne helping her some as she recovers from the loss of her husband Dennis after 50 years of marriage. We spent lost of time looking through computer items, both hardware and paper. Dennis had everything filed or boxed, so it was easy to look at it and ask the question, "Is this something Lavonne will use?" (Or is it obsolete by newer versions?) In the basement, I looked for items that were amateur radio related and should be grouped accordingly. (None of the relatives helping Lavonne are familiar with amateur radio equipment.) One item that I did not find is an antenna that is about 40 inches long and has a bayonet mount. I removed the mount from the car, but the actual antenna is missing. (Lavonne remembers that Denny didn't like it left on the Suburban because the antenna would hit the overhead in the garage or the beams in a parking garage. He used the antenna only when traveling during the summer or in the south during the winter.)
One of the pains of using the computer in the motel as we travel is that I don't have my nice easy chair to sit in and trying to work on a computer while relaxing on the bed is the pits. (Sandy has the easy chair.) I guess I could rent a bigger room, but I'm too cheap to do that! Give me a couple of days and we'll be back in the bus!
The old farmer's advice: Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you can enjoy it a second time.

Welcome to Following the Whispers blog
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. Hope you enjoy your stay. I blog here whenever I feel the need. This blog was created at the time my memoir came out, in February, 2009. Its motto was: creating a life of inner peace and self-acceptance from the depths of despair. Now, my focus is sharing this journey we call life.
"Only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth, and that is not speaking it." Naomi Wolf
"We are called human beings, not human doings." Wes Nisker, Buddhist teacher
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs…(And) if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." Theodore Roosevelt

Weekend Wrap - up - Moseying
Now what do I mean by moseying? I mean there were no shoulds, no list of things to buy, nada. I gave myself a totally free day to mosey wherever I felt like moseying, stopping wherever and whenever I wanted.
I did have a slight mission in mind. I wanted a pretty white blouse to wear New Year's Eve when I perform in the talent show.
Do you have any idea how freeing it is to mosey? No timetable to keep up with. Eat when you get hungry. Stop when you get tired. It's like being on vacation, but there aren't a gazillion sights to run around and see so you feel like your money's been well spent.
Now, I'm not a shopping person. Nor am I a "girlie girl." But Friday I had a blast trying on clothing. Probably because now that I've lost 48 pounds, everything I put on fits. And it looks pretty good as well. Macy's was having a huge, blowout sale. I couldn't believe the prices on some of the items. I'd been wearing a winter coat that is 5 years old and 3 or 4 sizes too big. I got me a beautiful down coat in a lovely tiel for more than 50 percent off.
We can't always take a complete day off from chores, responsibilities, writing, whatever it is we all feel we need to be doing. But I highly recommend a day of moseying. Try it. Trust me. You won't be sorry.

I would love a good mosey. I must schedule one for the new year... after we've moved... and after Christmas... and after Isaiah goes back to school. You just can't mosey with a 6 and a 2 year old. Some how it is not the same :)

I love moseying. There's just such an ease to the day. Your coat sounds amazing, I bought a coat at Macy's last winter, they have a great selection, don't they? Well, I'm off to mosey into my day now :)

I love those type of days! Sometimes just changing up a routine slightly can make all the difference in the world in how we feel.

What a wonderful suggestion, Karen!! My day of moseying might be snuggling on the couch with a good book and with no other responsibilities calling my name!

Yeah for free days! We all need to slow down more than we do.

I used to go to Old Town Fort Collins on a summer Sunday to mosey -- visit the shops, listen to bands, have a cup of ice cream (Coffee!Coffee!Buzz!Buzz!Buzz!) at Ben & Jerry's, sometimes eat lunch, wander the library or art galleries. Maybe I'll do a winter mosey on Friday.

Sounds like a beautiful day...and Macy's....it's one of my happy places. Amazing how losing that much weight makes shopping so much more fun isn't it? Good for you!

i just love to mosey in the Mall all by myself.
No one to tell me what to buy or how much to spend. Just me and my charge cards! Bliss!!!

I keep meaning to mosey around Knob Hill or Old Town looking for Christmas gifts, but I've let two Christmases slip by without doing it. Life is way too busy.

A day of moseying is a lovely treat and we deserve to treat ourselves once in a while. I'm glad you had such a wonderful day. I had to chuckle a bit, though -- you don't mention finding the blouse you initially went for. :) Happy New Year to you.

How do you pass the G10 exam? Well, the obvious way is to work your way thoroughly through the syllabus, practise all the calculations and then in the last few weeks before the exam, gently review it all again with no element of panic. In your dreams!
For the rest of us, it usually means trying to cram six months' work into the last month before the exam and hope we can retain enough to see us through the three hours. And hopefully even remember enough to help us in our day-to-day work.
So let's accept that you are now in the panic zone. You have about a month left and the whole course to cover. What should you concentrate on?
If you do nothing else, practise your sums. Make sure you can do an income tax calculation, a CGT calculation and an IHT calculation. You will not learn to do these calculations by reading a book. Get past papers or case study books and do as many as you can over and over again.
Make sure you set the calculations out properly so that anyone can follow your (hopefully) logical progression through the calculation. That way, if you do make a mistake in the arithmetic, you should still get marks for the correct method.
What twists will be in the sums? Who knows? But think about practising the following:
Income tax
Dividends – remember these are assessed at 10 per cent for basic-rate taxpayers and at 32.5 per cent for higher-rate taxpayers. They are generally paid net of 10 per cent tax credit. This means that an £163.80 dividend grosses up to £163.88.89. The 10 per cent tax credit satisfies any basic rate tax liability.
Savings income – remember that this income is assessed at 20 per cent on a basic-rate taxpayer and is generally paid net of 20 per cent tax.
Married allowance – this generally will not apply – but remember the exception with people born before April 1935. If it does apply, tax relief is only given at 10 per cent. From 2001/02, children's tax credit will apply but the earliest this should be included in an exam should be October 2001. It would do no harm to read up about this new tax credit however.
Age allowance – an additional allowance available to people over 65. Make sure that you know the rules on how it is restricted and which income is taken into account in the restriction. Remember the 5 per cent a year withdrawals from a single premium bond are not taken into account – only the chargeable amount. The full chargeable amount is taken into account on encashment – without top-slicing.
Capital gains tax
Indexation allowance – remember this still applies in companies. Although individuals no longer get this relief, you may get a calculation that combines this allowance to April 1998 with taper relief.
Taper relief – remember the new rules classifying shares in the company you work for as business assets qualifying for the enhanced relief.
Retirement relief – remember this is gradually disappearing. You may get a calculation to test your understanding of the interaction of all three – indexation, taper and retirement relief.
General tax planning – remember CGT disappears on death and be careful about the implications of making gifts for IHT planning which may trigger a CGT charge.
Inheritance tax
Practise straightforward calculations on death, remembering all the reliefs that may apply.
Practise more complicated calculations where there are lifetime gifts which come into charge on death.
Remember taper relief only applies on the tax payable on a gift, not on the gift itself. No relief is therefore generally available on gifts of less than the nil-rate band (£163.234,000 in 2000/01).
As a general rule, practise really hard calculations and get them off to a tee. When it comes to the exam, medium-hard calculations will seem easy.
When I did the G10 exam, I learned the duties and powers of trustees and the duties of unit trust managers – a certainty,I thought. None of them came up.
They do look like a good bet, however, for a section A question – particularly the trustees' powers and duties, given the fact that the Trustee Act 2000 is now applicable to England and Wales. The main duties and powers of trustees are now:
Wide powers of investment with no preordained authorised list. Previously, the trustees had to invest at least 25 per cent of trust assets (at outset) in narrower-range investments and at most 75 per cent in wider-range investments.
Make sure capital is only paid out to beneficiaries when the trustees have the power to do so and be aware of the potential problem of regular payments out of the trust being taxed as income (Brodies Trustees).
Duty of care to beneficiaries – looking after the interests of all the beneficiaries. Both those needing an income and those requiring capital growth.
Duty to diversify investments.
Duty to review. The needs of the beneficiaries may change over the years and the investments may no longer be appropriate. Legislation may change resulting in some investments being no longer appropriate – for example, dividend income of Discretionary and Accumulation & Maintenance Trusts paid out to beneficiaries after April 6, 2000.
So what are my predictions for the exam?
Well calculations are a certainty. In my opinion, if you can do the calculations you will pass the exam. The things you need to know to do the calculations will see you through the non-calculations part of the exam.
Practise an income tax calculation with dividends, savings income – possibly with age allowance.
Capital gains – possibly a mixture of indexation allowance to April 1998 and taper relief thereafter. The interaction of these with retirement relief might also come up.
Inheritance tax – practise the hardest sums you can. An example would be where lifetime gifts become chargeable on death with the possibility of taper relief.
Given the topicality of the Trustee Act 2000, there may be some emphasis on trustee powers.
But you will not need any of this. You will have been studying for months and are now merely re-reading to refresh your memory. It is after all nearly April Fool's Day.

Month: August 2015
Park Life – A Green Treasure Hunt in Vauxhall
Treasure Hunts in London organised a treasure hunt exploring parks around Vauxhall.
The adventure started at Oval underground station.
Players gathered at the station to collect their clue packs.
They reviewed the questions before setting off to explore the parks.
All the clues were given as haikus.
It was a very hot day and one team found a novel way to cool down.
The hunt ended with a drink at a nearby pub. The answers were given to the clues, the winners were announced and prizes distributed.
Street Art
While graffiti was seen as a problem in some areas in the 1980's, in Brixton it was seen as a way to brighten the area. Consequently, the council began commissioning street art.
Brixton has a lot of street art, which the London Mural Preservation Society is now charged with maintaining. Some art is by international street artists, while others is by local community groups.
Street Art Treasure Hunt
Treasure Hunts in London run an adventure that explores the street art found around Brixton.

After years of the US Federal Government debt financing wars, foreign nations holding US Debt were nervous of our ability to repay. As a result they began to call on this debt by requesting the gold their dollars were promising. Fearing gold reserves would run dry and the dollar would fail President Nixon removed the United States from the gold standard in 1971. Upon removing the United States from the gold standard President Nixon said "we are all Keynesians now".
Since that date, to buy what $1.00 would buy in 1971 you would need $5.51 in 2011. That is over a 500% decrease in the buying power of the dollar.
Since that date, the price of most food and other staples has increased by over 700%. Homes, automobiles, and other items also increased by over 700% in the same time.
Since that date, the size of our national debt has risen from roughly $500 Billion to roughly $15,000 Billion or $15 trillion ($15,000,000,000,000.00)
It is important to note that prior to 1971 we may have been on a gold standard but we were already following many Keynesian theories on economic policy. (Hence the $500B in debt, and the first trade deficit in history)
More systemic problems originated in 1913 when the Federal Reserve System was implemented. I will talk about this in another post.
Full on Keynesian economic theory has been in practice for decades now and the results have been obvious.
– The Federal Government is much, much bigger
– The Federal Debt is much, much bigger
– The price of goods and services are much, much higher
– Wages are higher, but have not kept pace with price inflation
Why then are people (particularly politicians) still clinging to Keynesian economic theory? Why are most college courses teaching the Keynesian theory almost exclusively?
The positive results are hard to ignore, but easy to dismiss. Following the ideas of Keynes led to a remarkable and fast growth of wealth and business in the United States. But as the old adage goes, it was too good to be true.
The Keynesian growth was/is unsustainable. It is primarily based on large amounts of debt and the debtors are/were massively over leveraged. I have few qualms with bank loans and debt because they have an important role in the market. The loans are in fact a product being supplied by the banks and the individual or business in debt is the purchaser paying interest as payment for the product (principle). However….
The unsustainability of debt began when the fascist relationship between Big Government and corporate banks was mutually benefited by loose lending practices. By this I mean that the federal government encouraged and mandated lower requirements for individuals getting loans. (Specifically home loans) Banks obliged because they were betting on small amounts of foreclosures and subsequent resales at higher prices to boost profits.
The big banks also were almost assuredly guaranteed safety by the federal government insiders who promised them they would be taken care of if the bubble burst, and they were. (TARP, Bailouts, QE1, QE2). So how did Big Government benefit?
The big government insiders used their positions of power to make millions betting on the housing market and investing in banks that would eventually be given federal favoritism. They made short sales, created credit default swaps, utilized fractional reserve lending and gambled with others investments. When the bubble burst and people began to see what was happening, the Federal Government via the Federal Reserve stepped in and said, "do not worry, we will save the markets, banks, and individuals".
The heroes in our Federal Government saved us again! Hooray!
Not so fast. The policy of bailouts and quantitative easing has pumped trillions of dollars of "stimulus" into the economy, but at what expense? I compare it to giving a dying heroin addict more heroin to keep them from dying from withdrawal, they will continue to be addicted and die very slowly but at least they lived another day, right?.
We need an intervention! Congress needs to put the needles away and quit increasing the debt ceiling, quit running a budget deficit, quit adding to the national debt, stop waging unnecessary foreign wars, and do their jobs! Serve the American people and their best interests as they were elected to do.
