|six easy steps for home-made German apple puree
A decade ago, I picked up this odd habit/tradition of doing something new, something I've never done before, on the first day of each year. Granted I haven't always strictly followed said tradition, just like most of us seem to struggle with sticking to the New Year's resolutions we make, which is why the only New Year's resolution I make each year is not to make any. *grin*
Today I spontaneously decided not to wait until next year to do something new, something I've never done before, but instead chose to finish the last day of 2015 on a high. I made this decision when I spotted a bag of about 10 apples lying on top of my fridge, a present from a friend who visited me in hospital in November. She must have given me about three kilograms of apples when she visited. I ate about half of them while in the hospital, since the nurses kept telling me at least four times a day that healthy food was important for my recovery. Since an apple a day is supposed to keep the doctor away, I was a good patient and listened to them. The result of my little unplanned experiment? An apple a day does neither keep the doctor nor the nurses away, at least not while you're hospitalised. Oh well... Getting daily visits from handsome doctors isn't a bad thing at all.
I didn't want to throw an entire bag of apples away, but I'm also not a fan of sandy-tasting apples. I love crunchy, juicy apples, the crunchier and juicer the better. I'm spoiled, what can I say... So what do you do when you're stuck with 1.5kg of apples and no desire to eat them? Well, if you're German you make apple purée.
What if you're German and currently living it up as an English teacher in China? You momentarily worry about the lack of resources when it comes to cooking Western food in China, then remember that making apple purée doesn't really require many exotic resources and finally you boldly dare yourself to go ahead with your unplanned project anyway. When you realise that you're fresh out of sugar and lemons, you curse under your breath and dash to the supermarket across the street to get the missing ingredients, even though you've only just been there to shop for supplies for the next couple of days.
Ingredients Needed:
1.5kg of apples
4-5 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
300ml of water
Making the actual apple purée is astonishingly simple. Simply peel the apples, remove the seeds and cut them up into small pieces (see third and forth photo in the photo collage at the start of this post). Don't make the pieces too small or you'll spend an entire afternoon just cutting apples, which defeats the purpose of having fun entirely.
Once done, measure 300ml of water and pour it into a pot. I don't recommend using a wok so if you're in China I really do hope you have a good, old-fashioned cooking pot. I suppose you could always try to use a wok but since I haven't tried it myself, I have no idea if the result of that wok-adventure can still be called apple purée. If you dare to try it, do send me a photo of the result as well as your thoughts and I will update this post accordingly.
Note: I warned you, so I am not accepting any responsibility for a failed wok-adventure and 1.5kg of ruined apple purée. I will however send virtual hugs, chocolate, cookies and tissues and tell you that I told you so.
Add four to five tablespoons of plain, white sugar and one tablespoon of lemon juice. You can add a little more if you like, I squeezed about a half a lemon into the water, but don't go too crazy with the lemon juice. German apple purée is supposed to be naturally sweet, not bitter as hell.
Add the apples to the pot and bring the whole mix to a boil. Stir carefully until the apple pieces are soft and mash when you continue to mix. Turn the heat down and continue to simmer for a couple of minutes, then turn the heat off. If you want perfect purée, you better have an immersion blender. I suppose a good, old-fashioned blender (the one you use to make your smoothies with) will do the job too, but if you're not opposed to a little bit of exercise then just take a fork and happy mashing!!!
I prefer my apple purée with some bigger apple pieces in it so I just used a fork to mash it all. The finished purée can be enjoyed hot or cold. In my opinion adding a few sprinkles of cinnamon gives it a wonderful wintry taste. If you want to store it, go right ahead, use some old jars but clean them and the lids with boiling water first. This will effectively reduce chances of mould.
|I kind of lied when I said that I don't make New Year's resolutions any more. I have wishing bottles...
On that note I'm wishing all my readers a very happy new year, and I'll see you in 2016!!!

Mourners placed the bodies of their dead in intricately carved caskets and then balanced the coffins on human-made or natural ledges along vertical cliff faces.

Every year the media makes a grave mistake in ignoring or sugar-coating the mass of people who descend upon the Nation's capitol in peaceful protest of the 40+ year old decision which legalized abortion on demand. Every year. They attempt to distract and redirect; utilizing the very tool of the Prince of Darkness which brought that decision about in the first place: LIES. They do this and yet, it's like in Horton Hears a Who...the small rise up; we call out, "We are here! We are here! We are here!!"
I myself have never been to the March for Life. Every year I think about how amazing it would be to go and have that experience; stand in solidarity with my fellow pro-lifers and pray the rosary as I walk, to meet new people and speak with them on this deep, difficult topic. I think how amazing it would be to crest that hill and look back and take in the sight of the sea of people, moving together as one body; braving the cold and the anti-life protesters, joining together for the same righteous cause: sanctity of human life. One of these days, I tell myself. One year, I will have no needy babies whom I can't leave at home and I will be able to attend and immerse myself, and possibly my older children, in the experience. Some say it's very emotional and spiritual. I don't doubt it. I don't doubt that when hundreds of thousands of people gather for a just cause, for the Lord, for mercy and opposition toward evil, that it isn't an amazing and rich experience.
When I volunteered at a pregnancy center in Harrisburg a few years ago, my life was changed. I thought I was there to help women, young girls, in situations where having a baby was less than ideal. I thought I was there to give out information, listen, encourage, teach. But amidst all of that, something else took place. I was encouraged. I learned. My eyes were opened. I saw the hearts of some of these women who were just trying to make it alone. I saw the dynamics between women and their partners, boyfriends, husbands who were just as scared as the women were to welcome another baby. I saw the neediness of the "least of God's people," and my heart grew in compassion and understanding for them. I spoke with women who had had abortions; women who deeply regretted them, but found themselves facing another pregnancy and wanting to do what was right, despite how hard it was for them. I saw their fear and their resolve. I saw their strength to turn away from past behavior. It changed me indeed.
They say that if we want to know what life is really about; we just need to immerse ourselves in situations where we'll see it up close. While I was with the center, I wrote this article on my other blog. It was my hope that people would read it and have some small understanding of what many post-abortive mothers feel. That they could come to the same understanding I did when I worked at the center: that most women who seek abortions aren't doing it to be evil. They are broken, just like the rest of us, only maybe in a different way than most of us. They are in need of love and support and forgiveness. I hoped that other pro-lifers would understand that we shouldn't approach these women in anger, but surround them in peace and love and understanding instead. Especially the women who do not feel remorse. It's one thing to think these things in your head, to know them in your heart; it's an entirely different thing to put that into action, to actually face those women and let love do all the work.
Down here in the trenches of motherhood, we all need encouragement and support, even and especially post-abortive mothers. Aborting a baby does not take away the title of Motherhood. We become mothers the second our babies are conceived. Nothing changes that.
Today I pray not only that there will come an end to abortion, but that we as pro-lifers will seek out more ways in which we can move as one to support post-abortive mothers, to reach out to them and extend the Love of Christ, the forgiveness and compassion He so selflessly extended to us as He hung on that cross on Calvary.

Motherhood Is The Longest Labor
|They who I labor for
But those things, while aspects of our life here on earth, do not indicate to ourselves or to anyone, or most importantly to God, that we are really living. And that's what this is about. I want to really live. I want to live and I want to be a light. Especially to other mothers, other parents. I want to let my light shine. Not because I think I'm so important or special; but because I'm not. I'm just like you. I'm just like every other mama on this earth, going through the parenting tunnel, trying to do my best. Sometimes I have good things to say. Other times, I'm just a shout in the void.
But here I am anyway, trying.
The inspiration for this blog came from a piece I'm working on. I say piece but I'm hoping it's a manuscript. I'm hoping that in the midst of homeschooling, chaos, coffee and laundry, I can etch out the parts of motherhood that really mean something important enough to share. But not just share- make a difference. I spent the last ten years of my life being told that I can't make a difference. That my attempt to share my little light with people was my trying to be controlling, or my trying to change people. That what I had to say didn't matter. I spent this time with negative people who were always downing me, my words, my desire to help or console or encourage, and I started to believe them. I started to believe all of it- I have nothing new to share, nothing important to say. I can't save anyone.
The truth is I don't want to save anyone. That's not my job. My job is to be a light. To serve. It's such a simple concept, one we were taught even as wee ones in Vacation Bible School. We sang it loud with the song, "This Little Light of Mine." While making sheep-shaped soaps to go with our wooden shepherds and elbow-macaroni Crosses, we were taught to be servants. We were taught to have compassion. To love. To bring others to Christ.
Motherhood has given me that platform, to rise up with my light and draw others into the light of Christ in our vocation.
Motherhood is in fact the longest labor of our lives, and we need to encourage each other through it.
Motherhood is in fact the longest labor of our lives, and we need to encourage each other through it.

text: Hey all. Unsure if these were answered before, the search box didn't return what I was expecting. When we use tools like Lavalys Everest, it shows a couple of OEM data (ie, under "Computer - DMI - System", I have Manufacturer as "System manufacturer", Serial Number as "System Serial Number" and SKU# as "To Be Filled By O.E.M.", to name a few). How can one to replace these with valid data? Then, I recently modded my MoBo BIOS to add SLIC 2.1 and successfully activated Win7. If by any chance I install a Windows Vista on this machine, I suppose the SLIC table may not be what Vista expects, then activation will not be made as OEM. Can different SLIC versions live together in the same BIOS? If those are already answered, glad if I can have links to them. EDIT: I am using an AMI Bios (P7P55D LE MoBo), if that matters. Thank you.

WYTHEVILLE, Va. – Wythe County officials are reporting that a main waterline located on E. Lee Hwy (US Route 11) ruptured over the weekend and has subsequently drained the Fox Mountain water tank.
The ruptured line has left customers without water from Exit 80 to 86.
County water officials say workers are on the scene and are in the process of repairing the lines, but caution that the work will continue into Monday.
"We're working to get the lines operational as fast as we can," stated Bill Vaughan, Wythe County Engineer, "but the snow and low temperatures will create delays in the repair process."
The service outage will only affect county residents along the E. Lee Highway waterline. All other waterlines in the county are fully operational.

A Tale of Americana, Part I: Jennifer Jones• sincerelykellyjames.wordpress.com
Night had just fallen when I pulled off of the I-10 at exit 19 and into the rural town of Quartzsite. My arrival was immediately preceded by a monsoon storm typical of the Arizona desert in mid-July; the intense wind and rain lasts for about fifteen minutes yet leaves behind the sort of inconvenient destruction that can only occur in an environment totally unequipped for anything but it's usual dry and sunny climate. On that particular Sunday evening it had knocked down the power lines, cloaking the little desert town in a veil of darkness which only added to the surreality of the story playing out right before my eyes, a story which actually begins not days nor weeks but years ago. Since the Arco truck stop right off exit 19 was the only place in town with working electricity, it had become the informal meeting spot for the town's citizens, shining brightly in what was otherwise a seemingly endless black night.
Originally established by settler Charles Tyson in 1856 and known in that day as Tyson's Wells, Quartzsite is now the epitome of a "market town". Up to a million snowbirds travel through the little town of thirty six square miles every year, mostly during the months of January and February. Like most of the town's residents, the visitors are typically senior citizens who park their RV's in one of the lots of which the town is mainly comprised. There are roughly a dozen major shows and swap meets which occur during this short time period; a large percentage centered around gems, minerals and precious metals, and this rural dwelling becomes a center of bustling camaraderie and commerce. By July however most Quartzsite residents have abandoned ship and there are only about a thousand people who remain to brave the stiflingly hot weather and capricious political atmosphere. Located in La Paz County, Quartzsite is governed by an elected mayor and town council of six along with appointed officials which include a town manager, town attorney, town engineer, magistrate, clerk, and police chief. Disputes between the town's government and it's citizens date as far back as it's incorporation in 1989.
The first thing that struck me about Jennifer Jones was her sharp understanding of both law and philosophical concepts of liberty; she is very well spoken and obviously well read. When I ask to see a copy of the Desert Freedom Press, a local newspaper that she writes, edits, prints, and distributes all on her own time and on her own dime, she holds one up, smiles for the camera, and says "You can't put a price on truth and you can't put a price on freedom. You can't even put a price on the Desert Freedom Press because it's always free, one per customer". She is one of those individuals whom it's impossible not to like; open, direct, and genuine. Jones, an avid dog enthusiast and show judge for the All American Dog Registry, moved to Quartzsite a dozen years ago when a friend suggested it would be a good venue for her mobile dog grooming business. She originally came for a ten week visit and enjoyed herself so much it led to longer stays. Quartzsite eventually became her home, especially when she met and married her husband Jack, a longtime resident. She lived and worked with zero incidence, not even so much as a parking ticket, for the better part of the following decade. It was purely by accident that in April of '08, Jennifer Jones took on the fight of a lifetime.

NeNe's nine bridesmaids (see above)—or as she's previously dubbed them, "Bridesmaidzillas"—are impossible to please. Despite donning customized bridesmaid dresses, fitted to each and every one of their curves, and receiving comped Christian Louboutin nude peep-toe pumps (which cost $1,100 a pop!), the ladies still pile on the complaints. Buying nine pairs of red-soled Louboutins is a hefty price to pay for your 'maids—especially when bridesmaids traditionally pay for their wedding day look, head-to-toe, themselves. Wouldn't an initial necklace, or a more traditional bridesmaid gift like a monogrammed robe served as a better surprise? We understand that NeNe wants her wedding to look a certain way, and maybe her 'maids can't afford a Hollywood-worthy affair, but Loub's are a bit too much in our book. Worse yet, the girls are beyond ungrateful! Marlo claims to hate peep-toes, and calls one of NeNe's other bridesmaids, Pat, "Chuckles" the clown behind her back.
Rather than yell, NeNe finds a more sly way to stick it to her pestering gal pals—literally. Leakes secretly sets up appointments for the girls to get Botox and fillers as payback for all of the headaches they've given her during the planning process (at which point, she not-so-secretly let's them know that they need beautifying). As NeNe reveals, "My idea of payback... 'pinch pinch pinch.'"
Photo: Courtesy of Bravo TV
The needles pinch to no avail. At a "Spilling the Tea, tea party," Leakes' favorite ladies manage to spoil something meant to be sophisticated. The plan was to pass the teapot. Then, whomever held the teapot could "spill the tea" about whoever they felt was unjustly throwing them shade so that the group could collectively move on and stop bickering. However, after Pat spills the tea about being called "Chuckles," Diana nabs the pot, and goes on and on about what everyone was doing to her.

In the end, Diana calls NeNe to talk. She starts by saying that NeNe should shut all of the drama down, but NeNe comes back and says that Diana needs to sit there, take it, try to be a friend, and try to have fun. Although the other girls are also at fault, Diana's poor attitude and uninviting nature is contributing to it and she needs to acknowledge that fact. Kind words end the conversation—for now.
Be sure to check in for our recap next week, after NeNe and Co. travel down to Cancún for her bachelorette party!

The Shadow of Victory
The beautiful city of Gracemaria serves as both the capital of Kharan Major at the planetary level as well as the capital of the Kharan Empire.
It is a city of 13.7 million residents, almost entirely human. Despite industrial roots, the city is regarded as the most beautiful in the region. It combines sleek glass and steel towers with many gardens and parks.
Nestled along the coast of great Lake Gracemaria, the capital city enjoys a somewhat moderate climate. However, the summers can prove to be hot and there is snow in the winter.
The skyscrapers and towers of Gracemaria are not so high as to evoke images of thousands of airspeeder lanes such as seen on Taris or Coruscant. Street level is pleasant, bright, and clean.

The origins of the English Church date back to the sixth century, following the marriage between a Kentish prince and a French princess.
The Royal Marriage in Kent
Christianity reached the shores of England by way of a royal marriage in the Kingdom of Kent. Prince Ethelbert, son of King Eormenric of Kent, married Princess Bertha, daughter of Charibert King of the Franks. In this marriage lay the origins of the spiritual foundation of the English Church.
The Anglo-Saxons Prior to the English Church
When the Anglo-Saxons settled in England in the fifth century, Christianity was unknown to them. They came into contact with the Britons, who had already converted to Christianity, but, owing to the hostility between the two populations, there was no immediate exchange of cultural identity between them. As a result, the Anglo-Saxons continued following their own religion, which was that known to all Germanic and Scandinavian populations prior to their conversion to the Christian faith. Traces of this ancient religion have remained intact in England over the centuries and are present in everyday language, namely in the days of the week, the most notable being Thursday, dedicated to Thor.
During the early Anglo-Saxon period, contacts of a commercial nature existed between England and the European continent, mainly with the Frisians and the Franks, yet no missionary from any Christian Church ever visited England. In this same period, the British Church of the Celtic speaking Britons had lost contact with Rome and the other Christian metropolitan centres of the Mediterranean Sea. Little is known about cultural relations between British Celts and Anglo-Saxons, but the difference between Celtic and English undoubtedly prevented missionary work on the part of the Christian Britons, as there was no translation of the Gospel in the language of the Anglo-Saxons.
The Anglo-Saxons formed independent kingdoms, each ruled by a king. Some of these became important names in English history, such as Wessex, Mercia and Northumbria, but there were many others, including East Anglia, Essex, Sussex and Kent. The kingdom of Kent in south-east England was the closest to Europe, and in the latter half of the sixth century the Kentish king, Eormenric, sought to establish a matrimonial bond with the Franks by way of a marriage between his son Ethelbert, who was heir to the throne, and Bertha, daughter of King Charibert.
Kent and Christianity in the Sixth Century
Ethelbert, like all Anglo-Saxons, was not a Christian, as no missionary activity had reached the shores of England, whereas the Germanic speaking Franks living on the other side of the sea were firmly dedicated to the Christian faith, as were the Latin speaking Celts among whom they shared the same land.
A marriage between a Christian princess and a heathen prince was unusual, yet Ethelbert must have made a good impression on the Frankish royal family. The Kentish prince set sail for France, for it is stated that he received Bertha from her parents. Ethelbert returned with Bertha to Canterbury, Kent's capital at that time, where his father ruled as king. In course of time, Bertha's Christian faith would make Canterbury the centre of the English Church and eventually a destination for pilgrims travelling from all over England and Western Europe.
Around 590 Ethelbert succeeded his father as King of Kent. He took great interest in the faith of his consort and restored for her an ancient chapel that had been built in Canterbury by the Christian Britons. This chapel, dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours, was in fact the first English church, and it was in function before Saint Augustine's arrival in England in 597. It preceded Canterbury Cathedral and all other churches built or restored by the Anglo-Saxons.
The English Church came into being not because the Roman Church had sent a missionary to England to make known the Gospel in a land where it was not known, but owing to the marriage between Ethelbert and Bertha. The Frankish princess brought with her the Gospel of Jesus Christ and imparted the Word to her husband. They spoke similar languages – the Anglo-Saxons and the Franks both speaking Germanic tongues – and Ethelbert believed in the faith of his wife.
When King Ethelbert took the decision to become Christian, he consulted with the noble families of Kent in order to remain king, for it meant breaking with the old religion. He succeeded owing to the persuasion of his consort's faith, and a number of those surrounding him also chose to convert to Christianity, as did many more people among Kent's inhabitants. When a papal envoy came from Rome to Kent to help establish ecclesiastical administration, King Ethelbert had already spiritually accepted the Christian faith and thereby set the foundations for the English Church.
The pope's envoy came in the person of Augustine with about forty ecclesiastics accompanying him, and they set about baptising in water the people who converted. The actual arrival of the Gospel, however, and the spiritual conversion of King Ethelbert, came about prior to Augustine, namely in the heart of Bertha the new Kentish princess and in the copy of the Gospel which she brought with her, and in her ability to convert her husband.

Suspected ivory smuggler released on bond by Kenyan court, causing uproar by conservationists
MOMBASA, Kenya – A Kenyan court has released on bail a man suspected to be a high level operative in illegal ivory trafficking in the region, causing an uproar among wildlife conservationists who fear that he may flee or interfere with witnesses.
Magistrate Davis Karani released the suspect, Feisal Mohammed Ali, on Friday on a $100,000 bond at a Mombasa court after eight months in custody.
Ali was arrested in December in Tanzania in connection with illegal elephant tusks weighing more than 2 tons that were found during a raid last year.
Ali was listed by Interpol as a most-wanted trafficker of ivory. The police group alleged that Ali is the leader of an ivory smuggling ring.

(detail of an unfinished portrait showing the underpainting in the shadowed side of the face) Andrea del Sarto c. The Royal Collection, Buckingham Palace, London After the initial outline drawing was completed, Vermeer began the "dead coloring" (or underpainting as it is called today), one of the most important stages in his working procedure.
Without a thorough knowledge and mastery of the underpainting technique, the extraordinary unity which characterizes Vermeer's most mature pictures may not have been easily achieved.
Chairs, maps, framed paintings, musical instruments, baskets, a standing cavalier and even a dog can no longer be seen where they were originally represented.
Vermeer probably painted them out in the underpainting stage having seen that they did not produce the desired effect or distracted from the painting's theme.
Vermeer generally used black and brown in his underpainting.

i hope Ziggy likes stripes, cause 1/2 his wardrobe has them.
sidenote: i didn't realize so many people thought our son's name was really going to be Ziggy. here's the scoop... when he was an non-gendered zygote, instead of "it" we started calling him Ziggy. (Ziggy the Zygote)
i mean, i've got nothing against the name. ziggy marley = stud. ziggy stardust = creepy stud.

a Baltimore Playwrights Festival production
Produced for Spotlighters Theatre
by Garry Kluger
Directed by Stacey Bonds
WHEN: Monday, May 12, 7 PM; Tuesday, May 13, 7 PM
WHERE: Spotlighters Theatre, 817 Saint Paul Street, Baltimore
- Be prepared to read sides with other actors.
- Please bring all conflicts - Performances: Aug 15 - Aug 31, 2014
Thur, Fri & Sat – 8 PM; Sun – 2 PM ( 11 performances); Rehearsal will begin tentatively June 2 and run Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur 7-10 PM
A final schedule will be provided once casting is completed.
Synopsis: Jeremy Levin loved three things the most in the world: writing children's books, his English country home, and his wife Kate. Not necessarily in that order. When Kate suddenly dies in a traffic accident, Jeremy's life falls to pieces. Brought back to his home in Baltimore by his best friend Stacey, Jeremy is encouraged to seek help in dealing with his wife's death, something he hasn't been able to do in the year since she died. As Jeremy enters therapy not only does he start to deal with Kate's death, he also winds up learning more about his relationships with those he's been the closest to his whole life—his mother, his sister, and his best friend.
- JEREMY: 30s - Jeremy never intended to be an author. It just sort of happened the same summer he went to England and met Kate. They married and he started writing. Jeremy has a lot of trouble going on after Kate's death and doesn't seek any help, but his family and best friend give it to him anyway.
- LOUISE: Age Open - Louise is Jeremy's therapist. She is razor sharp and no-nonsense. She can calm and at the same time provoke when she feels it is necessary to get Jeremy's attention. She is charged with the task of getting Jeremy "back."
- STACEY: 30s - Stacey has been Jeremy's best friend since they were kids. She is a network news executive and a very forceful woman. She goes to England and brings Jeremy home so that he can heal with his family. As he's going through his therapy they both learn about other feelings they have.
- LUCY: 60s - Lucy is Jeremy's mother. Lucy sees things in a very black and white fashion, which means that she and Jeremy rarely see things eye-to-eye. They care about each other deeply, but one would never know by watching them together. A single parent most of her life, Lucy is very direct and independent. She never leaves anything to chance.
- DAWN: 20s - Dawn is Jeremy's sister. Dawn is deaf, which makes Jeremy very protective of her. She truly loves her older brother, but has a hard time convincing him that she is no longer a child. She also would love Jeremy to come to her with his problems, but he never seems to ask for her help.
- ATE: 20s/30s – Kate was Jeremy's wife and could best be described in the all-too-overused term of free spirit. Once Jeremy met Kate there was no one more important in his life or anyone he loved more. He sees her death as something never to be gotten over and his own life is now much less important.

The Other Club
Where can you see a Playboy bunny with a PhD in an intellectual sparring match with a feminist writer? Or a comedy and cabaret 'Slut Night' reappropriating the S-word? At The Other Club, that's where, a two woman riposte to the old boys' network, and London's latest pop-up members club.
The Other Club is the work of journalists Katie Glass and Joy Lo Dico, and it's a female-focused space offering a programme of talks and debates by 'brilliant, funny women we adore' as well desk space for hire. You can hear Mary Beard talking about rebellion, Katie Melua and VV Brown on the music industry, and Daily Mail columnist Liz Jones talking about, well, herself, probably.
For a club, the Other aims to be inclusive. It's only a fiver to join, and men are welcome – but they have to come with a girl friend. This is less about marching down the street with placards, more about marching to the bar for a sauvignon blanc.
'We haven't got a manifesto,' says Glass. 'We just wanted to have a platform where we show what cool women are doing.' What's the one thing she'd say to persuade us to come down? 'We've got a really hot barman!' You see, feminism can take many forms.

I've attended the event last Thursday 'Women in business'. It was a relaxed and informative talk over glass of wine. Win Win Win.
A place to be with women and share with women, the raunchiness, the sexiness, the slutiness, the gorgeousness and the freakish and the good fun! join in!
Slut Night was a full, hot house with just as much variety in speakers and performers as women in the room. I have never been to this type of venue before, but after one night I'm sure to drop-in or take in one of their events on a weekly basis. There is a change in the environment when it's dominated by women from all backgrounds and I found it extremely intoxicating to mingle there. Would have given it five stars, but the decor isn't much to look at- although the photography is great. Not that there needs to be anything to side track you with all the delightful people in the room. Finally it's here!
One of the best places I've been to in London. Slut Night was rad.

Monte Vista students host community clean-up
Monte Vista High School students, volunteers, and parents participated in the Monte Vista High School Community Clean-Up Day on March 3. The one-mile route started at the 7-Eleven, located at 10049 Campo Road, and finished at Butler's Coffee in the Casa de Oro area in Spring Valley.
The project was coordinated by the East County Youth Coalition, the Casa de Oro Community Alliance, the high school, with Megan Gustafson, who is with the Institute for Public Strategies, overseeing the canopied sign-in area and start up of the walk.
"There are approximately 40 participating," said Monte Vista High School teacher, Mark Campillo. "We will be in groups of five, with an adult, picking up trash."
Neon-lime colored vests, brooms, buckets, and trash pick-up sticks were handed out to the students. A pick-up truck, driven by Reader Campdoras, made trips to the students to unload their collected trash into his truck. The students worked their way down the route and picked up trash from 8-10 a.m. during this first community clean-up for these combined groups.
Sonia Jauregui, a junior, said keeping the streets clean is important.
"I'm a part of the East County Youth Coalition," said Jauregui. "It reflects on every one who lives here. I want to help clean it up."
Monarchs came out en masse to help.
"Our school motto is 'Stay classy, Monarchs' and we can't stay classy if our streets aren't clean," said junior Mariah Ortiz. This is monarch territory indeed.
Don Powell, and his wife, Elise, were on hand and quick to say thank you to the companies like Dixieline and Smart & Final for their various contributions.
Parent Jay Steiger, PTA-Vice President for Legislation, said coming together was key to the success of the morning.
"The passion for change is there," he said. "It's just a matter of coming together to fix the things that need to be fixed."
School resource officer, SDSO Corey McCoy, said the morning was good for the students as well as the streets of Casa de Oro.
"It gives the students a sense of accomplishment and pride in their community," he said. "They can make a difference."

In response to an earlier post on 'camphor bowl' mosquito repellant a Mantri resident Jayanti wrote in, suggesting citronella candles as kid-friendly remedy. She wasn't, however, sure where one gets citronella.
Today's newspaper carries a brief note on the launch of Mortein NaturGard with citronella extracts. It is retailed as Aerosol pack (Rs.169 for 425 ml.) and Vaporiser combipack (Rs.70).
Mohan or Dandapani of Mantri clubhouse grocery shop can be persuaded to stock them.
This is about life in emerging residential communities on OMR. Would like to see this emerge as an interactive forum to raise issues, discuss ideas and share info. on the pluses and pitfalls in off-city living.

More on the mosquito repellants

Hi. Citronella is nice, and works well, but since I have kids and a pet, I found that fabric softener mixed into your mop bucket with your normal cleaning product works great. Plus your house smells great as well. I also use fabric softener for dusting and using it on the grills, and it keeps the mosquitos away.ReplyDelete

Parents sometimes underestimate the impact of their negative behavior on their children. Arguments with their spouse in the presence of children, profane language while driving, or losing temper over children's nagging can all shape the way children act throughout their life.
I recently visited Mrs. Dania Dbaibo Darwish (BBA MA PCC), a Certified Professional Coach and Clinical Psychologist, who is also the founding director of Strides with DDD – a hub for self-development in Beirut. Dania offered suggestions on how to behave in front of children and how to set good examples for them.
1- What are the "Dos and Don'ts" in front of children?
The way 'right or wrong' applies to skills and habits, also applies to behavior. On one hand, if you want your children to be respectful, you should show respect when around them. If you want to encourage the habit of reading, you need to have it as an established habit yourself. Let them see you do what you want them to do. On the other hand, parents shouldn't send their children conflicting messages. They can't ask them not to scream at their siblings when they are doing it themselves in front of their children. Act and behave the way you would want them to. Become the ideal role model for them to imitate. "Practice what you preach" and "walk the talk" of everyday life.
2- Why is it important to well-behave in front of children?
Children learn through rewards and/or punishment, and also through observation, which is a form of latent learning that gets expressed when there's a need for it. It applies to acquiring skills as well as learning appropriate and inappropriate behavior. Children watch us and learn from our behavior like sponges. Everything is stored for the right moment. If they see us reacting aggressively to a problem, for example, they will react the same way when facing a similar issue. This can be explained by the mirror neurons we all have in our brains and that store information and bring them out later in similar situations.
3- What can be the impact of parents 'misbehavior on their children
Children carry the weight of parents misbehaving with them all their lives. During childhood, they start setting a "model for the world", where they either see the world as a peaceful and calm place to live in, or as an insecure and aggressive place to be in. Parents can help their child grow with self-confidence, or on the contrary, with issues that lead to major problems later on (i.e. social anxiety, addictions, attachment issues, etc.). Parents have the most difficult job to appropriately raise their children because they will be influencing their children's behavior for life; and all of their future relationships for that matter. Parental mishaps can adversely affect a child's healthy development on all levels (personal and professional).
4- How can you tell if a child has issues due to his/her parents' behavior in front of him/her?
It is possible that children get depressed, and depression in children is expressed differently than adults. They can become angry, hyper, or even aggressive. For instance, a child who repeatedly hits his or her friends has either learned this conduct from his or her parents, or is being mistreated at home (i.e. parents showing favoritism to another sibling); hence, his or her anger searches for a scapegoat in what seems to be a safer environment (i.e. school environment). The frequency and the intensity of this behavior can be a sign of probable alarm signals coming from home.
5- What is the first step to take when a child shows signs of psychological issues?
If a child is facing issues, a psychologist always starts by meeting his or her parents to look into the family dynamics at home. We need to see if parents breed negative behavior perhaps indirectly through their interactions. We assess the whole system at home as a first step before we start the actual work with the child. This helps in providing a better picture on what is going on exactly. Parents can be unaware of how their interactions are backfiring on their child, so we have to psycho-educate them. It could be that the child has a difficult personality that drives the parents' negative behavior to start with. We often meet parents that have children who behave completely different from one another (one is problematic and the other is not). Parents can be using the same parenting style with both, but the badly-behaved child triggers the parent to use harsh language towards that child for example. They're all living under the same roof, but the results are different for each child. A thorough assessment is needed in most cases.
6- What is your best advice for parents, vis-à-vis their behavior in front of children?
Parents should serve as the role model for their children at all times. When you're interacting with them, imagine there's a video camera documenting your moves in a reality TV show, and be as mindful as you can that your words and actions are being absorbed. Most of us exhibit our best behavior when we are in the spotlight. It is not an easy task to do if your energy reservoir is depleted, therefore, no matter how stressed you might be, you need to have time for self-care and to recharge your batteries before you start interacting with your children. Only when you are in a good state of mind can you deal appropriately with your spouse, or children. Here's a tip for working parents: on your way back home after a long stressful working day, it is important to "detoxify" your mind, put on your favorite tunes and ignore the peak-hour traffic, and try to relieve the stress you've been carrying with you from the day through breathing deeply and repeating some positive thoughts. When you reach home, you will have more positive energy to spend quality time with your partner and children. Taking some "me" time on a regular basis is crucial. "Behave well with yourself to behave well with your kids" is a handy motto to adopt. Before you know it, children will grow up and leave your home for different reasons (education, work, or marriage). Enjoy them while they're still in your nest.

Welcome to The Gazeebo: A Poet's Place
Well for an introduction to The Gazeebo, it comes from an idea I did a little while back with this guy I knew, and my sister. You see, we have a gazebo in our backyard and I'm a huge poet and he and I decided we wanted to do a little poetry slam so the gazebo seemed like the perfect place. Of course, as a poet herself, my sister joined in and we had a wonderful time at it 🙂 The melted flower candle as the icon here is from that night. Well, I'm still enjoying poetry and will always enjoy it so I decided to create a blog that allowed for a little place for fellow poets to check out and (if everything works out properly) maybe even post some of their own poems (whether it be through comments and the such or whatever) to be critiqued by me and other fellow poets. I just took a poetry class over at the University of Arizona and thoroughly enjoyed being able to expand my own literary creativeness, if you will, along with helping my peers in expanding their own with critiques from me, and (of course) getting openly critiqued. I personally love when someone has something to say about my writing whether it be just compliments, feelings, or even comments on how to improve it. I believe that very few of my own poems are officially done.
Anyway, now that that little intro is done, I have also added areas within The Gazeebo where I provide updates on fires in Arizona (AZ Fire Watch), along with other places (Fire Watch), and also have a little area where I provide updates of a diet that I'm doing while I move toward my own victory (To Victory!). Finally, there's the tab where I have excerpts from a piece I'm writing called "The Ramblings of Mr. Packard" (Mr. Packard). I also urge you to look at the navigation bar at right where I have added a bit of info about every little piece of stuff on my blog 🙂
To start out this blog fresh and new, here's a poem I wrote at the end of that poetry class I told you about, an idea I had after reading Matthew Dickman's book, All American Poem. Enjoy! 🙂
The sun is out, the time for flip flops and
swim trunks and a dip in the pool. Don't forget
to buy your Coppertone sun screen – SPF 50. I've been waiting
all year for the that first cold jump and the accompanying shiver
before the repeated diving to the bottom to grab
the rings warm me up. It's the time for competing
with our swim caps on. 100 freestyle and 50 breaststroke
but don't forget the 100 Individual Medley, such a lovely mix
of it all, so fast it makes your heart want to jump out of
your chest, while your ears tell you of the screaming above
the surface. You know your parents are there on the deck,
clapping, waiting for your hand to hit the wall, followed by the
rush of water as your body comes to a stop. It's an American time,
baseball season has started while you're in the water. But
you don't care because you're going out tonight
with that girl whose tan faded away over the winter –
All the while, I'll be at the movies, happy about the
air conditioning after the win in the water.
We'll be having a snow cone tomorrow
when we go to the park, my sister and I
and then we'll go home to our dogs who've
laid out in the misters, their paws wet with mud because
of their pool, but it's this summer, along with a few trips up
north to the cabin, that I look forward to as the last
school bell rings for the year.

Ok. While I was thinking about what to do next regarding my misadventures with the Vallejo Liquid Gold paint, I wasn't really painting much. But I had been keeping busy.
One thing I had to do was to clean off my desk. It was driving me nuts that I have a desk, but couldn't actually paint because it was covered in stuff. That is one of the perils of doing assembly on the same desk where you paint...as well as receiving stuff in the mail that you have yet to put away, etc.
Awesome as that stuff is, it had to go. So I got a big box, took it all down to the basement, sorted and stored it, then scrubbed and cleaned my desk, which has a glass top so makes keeping it nice and clean a breeze.
I then sorted my essential hobby stuff, tools in the drawers, paints hidden under the desk, everything straightened up, and it's ready to go!
I also made a new portable photo stage with a printed back drop I found using a Google search, and a single daylight lamp (Ottlight) positioned above to the left and behind the camera. It does pretty well, for a quick setup.
It's a very simple setup, and very portable, but works well for quick snapshots of WIP without showing off any clutter behind the subject. Notice there's clutter behind the stage? Yeah. That's other work in progress.
Here's the miniature shot on that photo stage without actually setting up or practising. This was a Christmas gift that a good friend of mine painted for me as a surprise!

Much of the discussion around North Korea has focused on a nuclear or conventional war between Pyongyang and Washington. But … if Pyongyang collapses as a result, it could lead to hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of people searching for food and shelter and refugees fleeing for China and, depending on the circumstances, South Korea.
A collapse of the North Korean government could create a humanitarian disaster for China. A mass migration of refugees trying to enter China through its northern Liaoning and Jilin provinces would present complex economic, infrastructure, and cultural and political challenges.
"If your number one national interest is … economic growth in order to hold on to social stability, having six million foreigners into provinces that have already had economic hardships before [won't help]," said Jim Walsh, a senior research associate at MIT's Security Studies program, who is also a board member at The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.
He added: "And from a social stability standpoint—refugee camps with millions of North Koreans? Are the Chinese living there going to be thrilled about that in a context in which the economy is taking a hit because there's been a shooting war?"

I just signed up for one month of the basic registration because I ran out of submissions. My plan was to pay the $19 and cancel at the end of the month. For some reason I got charged $190.

You probably have selected the Yearly plan instead of the Monthly one.
Your current subscription will expire next year (i.e. July 24, 2018). Do you want to stay to Yearly subscription for now or do you want to switch to Monthly plan now?
We will wait for your response.

I want the monthly plan, please switch it for me if you can. Thanks!

Download Jenga for PC from onlineappsforpc.com
Jenga PC Introduction:
Most of you folks would have played this Jenga to date not digitally but surly with blocks in real time. Now the Natuaral Motion game ltd has made it possible to play Jenga digitally on your android and Iphones. Now we have the guide here for you folks so you can also play Jenga on PC and laptops. Jenga is digitally designed in consultation with the original maker of the game. so its just like real fun.
Features of Jenga for PC:
Real-time 3D physics simulation, authentically recreating the behavior of a real wooden Jenga tower. Each block is realistically affected by the surrounding blocks, recreating the same strategic depth as the original game.
Anyone who's played Jenga knows how delicate your touch needs to be. Your Android device's touch screen gives you the control you'll need to go for world record heights (incidentally… the record is 40 2/3 layers!). Blocks can be teased out using a mix of gentle tapping and drag controls. It's easy to begin with, but you'll soon find it tough when the pressure is on and the tower is wobbling!
Obviously the best part of Jenga is putting off your friends as they are making their move. The four-player Pass'n'Play mode truly reproduces the nail-biting tension of the real thing… but you can play it anywhere!
And what's more, Jenga for Android lets you compare your current tower height against that of friends around the world – while you play! A little friendly competition is the best motivator…
Match colors for extra points and score multipliers by moving fast – but don't topple the tower! While you play, you earn coins which you can spend on special boosts like collapse reverse, multipliers, and wildcards. It's fast and frantic… totally turning Jenga on its head.
Jenga for Android is beautiful. Advanced wood shaders make the tower pop out and let you gauge its stability. And everything is set in beautiful environments, rivalling the quality of modern games consoles.
Designed in consultation with Leslie Scott, the inventor of Jenga, to create the most authentic Jenga experience ever.

Ballet School of Stamford presents:
Hansel & Gretel
Many of us grew up with fantastic fairy tales written by the Grimm brothers. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm traveled around Germany listening to and recording the folk tales that were handed down orally from parents and grandparents to their children. They first recorded Hansel and Gretel in 1810 and published it in 1812. They revised it seven times and printed their final version in 1857.
Our family friendly production is set to the music of Engelbert Humperdink who composed the opera in 1891 and 1892. We are delighted to be accompanied by live musicians and opera singers who help tell the story. The original was in German, but the ballet you will see will be sung in English. Humperdink's version of the story is a little different than the Grimm brothers' original version.

Dear God.
Yes, it's me again God. Have you got time to talk? Of course you have. Social media prayer demands it. Says so in your draft to the world via hand- me- down scriptures from days of yore, whether you're rich or poor. Just open the Bible and cry out "more?"
Was going to contact you via Social Media. What do you mean Social Media is for people with nothing better to do than arthritictize their pinkies in a desperate attempt to out media each other to the social point of blog extinction?
God what do you mean people should stop twiddling and toeing, waffling and woeing? It's a mandatorial 'God given'-right?
Shuffling and going out of their minds in a frenetic askance. No time for you? Not even a glance? I know God, i hear you when you say the eleventh commandment should be, "thou shalt not implore/chide each other for sly gain, nor purposefully engage in the act of 'write' -without reason. For unreasoning trite write...well...it just doesn't strike...the chord of appeasement."
I understand God, i shall endeavor to convey your commandment after i tell you MY problematic day...and i pray...you'll listen to my grievance. And you're right when you say...angels don't twitter, try to flog wings...that indeed, would encourage flight binge.
Okay, you can't be bothered listening to my problems, i know you're listening to everyone at once. Please just listen and i'll tell you the crunch. Woke up this morn, tried as i may, felt something wrong- encroaching dismay? Oh, but you beckoned and beamed with such shiny sun...thought i'd hop in my car...off road it did run! Why didn't you warn me to check water quick? When it quite over boiled i felt like a...well...hurt to the quick.
No money had i...but that didn't matter...i do have a card...numbered and flat. No one to call...no mutter mechanic thought..."this guy's a great target set for a rort! $200 it is sir, but more to the point...the head gasket's stuffed...a mate you should ring?"
What i'm saying God is the motor's not right...hey! i'll just buy another! In brief God i should have stayed in mine and let your little ray of sunshine warm the cockles of my wallet from the comfort of my bed. I drove my sick water glutton car home followed by my friend. Just prayed it wouldn't stop...end up on the bend. It made it...thank God it didn't die of thirst.
I know God you're busy listening...to a heap of much whinge...but no-one else will listen for i live on the fringe...of financial blizzard...the winds of bad luck? No matter God...i'll pretend i'm a rooster...who doesn't give a cluck.
Yep, can't wait for tomorrow God...last night i tripped...on a much loved cement pot...it broke clean in half...picked up the flowers...stuck 'em in sorta...originally went out to check the rad's water. Cleaned up the mess, cracked a quick beer, bought by my favorite sister...a special understanding dear. Thanks for the day God...brushing dirt from my daks...rang my best mate...simply said "thanks."
It's ok now God, i know what i'll do...tomorrow i'll draw the blinds...stay in bed...know your warmth will come through. Might buy a ticket to wealth we all dream. But then what gaineth a man if he misses sour cream? Then i turn on the tele and see all the stars...see i tripped on the rug...hit my head on the bars. No, i'm not in a prison...even if i were...God would look over me...did i hear him say "duh!" Life's a bit like that...but what can one do? Rub your head just a little and wait for God's cue? I'm waiting God! I'm not really that clumsy...inept or plain dumb. BUT God! i'm not waving...might trip on my thumb?
The moral is...it's a great life...if you don't waken! Lie there! Ring your boss and tell him you're taking the day off. For God's sake. Your employer will think the sun shines out of you. Honest...would i lie. Never! People trip over lies. You could accidently poke your eye out! Cheers. /:>)

This post is especially for Eric, who says that if I'm not careful, I might end up with some new neighbors; posting pictures of how beautiful Xela is and all. I tried to stay away from the "pretty" shots for a couple of days, but I just *can't* do it for very long. I am surprised that more people don't just up and move here, then again, I remember it being a big step when I did it almost 4 years ago. I have never looked back and never regretted it. But then again…that doesn't mean y'all should move here. 😉

In another case of Obama's 'Dreamers' turned bad, an illegal immigrant in New Jersey just pleaded guilty to torturing and murdering a young woman in her home before setting her and her home on fire to cover up his crime.
Juan Jimenez-Olivera knew his victim, Sviatlana Dranko before he murdered her on April 29, 2014. The two worked together at a local pizzeria, according to NJ.com.
Under a plea deal, assistant prosecutor Frank Kolodzieski dismissed the charge of first-degree aggravated sexual assault and Jimenez-Olivera would serve a 30-year sentence without the possibility of parole on the murder charge.
So this man gets a pass on raping his victim and the pizzeria where he worked gets a pass for hiring an illegal immigrant. Only in Obama's America.
Just curious, what do you suppose all the Trump-haters have to say about this? Do they still want to deny that there are illegal immigrants who are rapists?

Investors in People offers a flexible, practical and easy to use business improvement tool designed to help organisations and their people achieve their objectives. I hope that more organisations in the area will be encouraged to sharpen their competitive edge by choosing to work with us."
The Investors in People Gold Accreditation is the latest accolade to be awarded to the Beardmore in recent months, as they were awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence 2014 in June.
Director of the Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre Bronagh Bell commented on the accomplishment, saying: "The Beardmore achieved its first Investors in people Accreditation in 1996 and has aimed to improve year on year. To have achieved the Gold Award is an absolute honour and we could not be more delighted with the outcome.
"Our workforce is our most important asset and we are totally committed to encouraging staff participation, engagement and taking an active role in their personal development.
"Looking forward, we will be aiming to increase our focus on conference business, specifically encouraging more international meetings. Our people have always been at the heart of our organisation, and they are the key to even more success in the future."

Twitter's Version 1 of the API, which many clients use to pull and display information from Twitter, will have its retirement extended by over a month due to additional testing. Twitter original date of May 7th, in conjunction with the shutting down of TweetDeck apps for Android and the desktop, put the API discussion at the top of many user's minds. When the v1 API is finally laid-to-rest, older clients that have stuck with it will cease to work and need to either move to v1.1 or shut down. Luckily, most of your popular clients in the Play Store have made the move to be compliant.
Twitter will be conducting additional "blackout" tests on the v1 API to make sure everything is running smoothly and ready to go with v1.1.
Not forgetting that, developers and users alike with clients using v1 may see additional problems such as loading or searching errors iin the client.
@episod Taylor Singletary
Posted on Fri, 2013-05-03 10:08
We're extending the API v1 retirement date from May 7, 2013 to June 11, 2013, in order to accommodate additional blackout testing.
You can find a recap of what to expect on the final retirement date here. We'll announce the date and time of the next blackout test from @twitterapi soon.
If you have any questions about the retirement of REST API v1, legacy widgets, or the discontinuation of "basic auth" support in the Streaming API, please ask them in this forum.
Thanks everyone!
