Some pictures from the past couple weeks.
Harvesting the peas and then the wheat. We will be making our own chicken feed this year.
A few pictures of this year's garden. We have come close to freezing several times the past week and I think well be forced to pick everything soon.
I share the pumpkins and squash with the chickens, they make a great winter treat!
General Sherman, future daddy to some spring Ossabaw pigglets, with Curly Sue his girlfriend.
And Scuffy and his mom. Two of our Ridley Bronze turkeys sat on eggs this year but only one baby to show for it.
How did I miss this post???
How neat to be able to do your own chicken feed We have 6.5 acres but can't grow much, flat rock is too close to the surface in a lot of areas, so we re-forested it.
Very nice veggie garden, love the sunflowers What variety of pumpkin are those, they look like they have great shape and not too big?
I didn't know you had Ossawba piggies. Did you get them turkeylover? I see pictures that she posts and the pigglets are so adorable!!!
Nice to see pictures of grass and flowers, it's blowing and cold today with snow squalls and white outs
Twice now I have tried to reply to this, twice my computer has crashed
Pigs are all hand delivered by Turkeylover, out little boy General Sherman is unrelated to the two girls so piglets in the spring hopefully.
Pumpkins are quite large actually, a heritage variety sometimes called the Cinderella pumpkin because it looks like her coach did in the movie. When I try to write the French name that's when my computer crashes so not going to try that again
Crops is all in the bin. We want to make pellets for the chickens and have failed so far so they are getting cracked wheat and milk but only as a supplement. Goats cracked barley and sunflowers. Pigs barley and pea chop and everyone seems happy.
All that garden is harvested, chichens played on it for a month and then I planted the beginnings of next year's crop, spinich and garlic, just before winter arrived.
I love being able to grow things on our land FRF although sometimes it is overwhelming and gets too much. Your flowerbeds and gardens around your house are lovely and mine never look so pretty as I just can't make myself weed the flowers if there is a food producing plant that I could tend to instead.
Thanks for peeking at my pictures, with snow on the ground now it's fun to look at these and think of next year

LOL I thought you got those piggies from her, how nice that she hand delivered them!!
Well I really like those pumpkins so I am going to check William Dam Seeds when I go down in the Spring to get my seeds and see if I can find them.
I love to grow my own food too but I LOVE flowers and get so much enjoyment and me time when I am out there tending them. As I do with my chickens as well, it's all a labor of love LOL
I will see how I make out next summer with one new knee , gardening has been a bit of a chore the past few years.
Really enjoyed your pictures, nice to see things alive and growing

Thanks guys we had a fun growing year and I'm looking forward to next year. Labour of love for sure!
Let's try the pumpkin variety again...rouge vif d'etamps. I ordered from Heritage Harvest Seeds in Manatoba.
Thanks for the pumpkin variety and where you ordered them from. If I can't find them from William Dam I will order from Heritage

"The Venezuelan Jewish community leadership and several major American Jewish groups are accusing the Simon Wiesenthal Center of rushing to judgment by charging Venezuela's leftist president, Hugo Chavez, with making anti-Semitic remarks.
"Officials of the leading organization of Venezuelan Jewry were preparing a letter this week to the centre, complaining that it had misinterpreted Chavez's words and had failed to consult with them before attacking the Venezuelan president.
"'You have interfered in the political status, in the security, and in the well-being of our community. You have acted on your own, without consulting us, on issues that you don't know or understand,' states a draft of the letter obtained by the Forward. Copies of the letter are also to be sent to the heads of the World Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Committee, among other Jewish groups.
"'We believe the president was not talking about Jews and that the Jewish world must learn to work together,' said Fred Pressner, president of the Confederation of Jewish Associations of Venezuela."
No doubt, US Jews will claim that their Venezuelan brothers and sisters need a few lessons in Zionist baiting.

I was thinking about this blog and what to write. What do you want to read about? I realized I have not been written in awhile and that I am feeling a lot of pressure to keep up with this blog.
I try to write once a week but between the work I do, the blogs (3 in all) and recently my taxes, house work, yard work – you know daily life is taking up a lot of my time. I also have not made any headway to a life full of meaning.
I try to meditate in the morning before getting out of bed and at night before I go to sleep. I close my eyes and try to stay focus on nothing. Do not let that that voice creep in telling me the things I need to take care of, thoughts of "what is it I am suppose to do with my life?". Instead I try to stop the voice and think of nothing – Hush the noise. Sit in silence. Be still.
This is work. Some people seem to meditate with ease and have "AHA" moments come to them. I have not had that happen. Or great ideas of how to re-invent themselves. That has not happened to me, just as this blog has not taken off with hundreds of readers.
So from now on I'll only write when I have something of interest to say or when I really have a need to write what is within me. Or who know maybe when I am meditating I will have a transformative experience and knows exactly what to do with myself. Until then Treat everyone with respect and have a happy life!

The (currently fictional) Jeong Yong Coach tablet is wicked awesome. Jeong Yong has designed a tablet that is both athletic in external appeal and internal function. Yong further incorporates some really sporty features that would be of great asset to actual athletes. The "specialized sports communication machine" boasts a training schedule that allows athletes to keep record of their training endeavours.
Designed with the inspiration of a Nike soccer ball, the fictitious tablet can read where players are on the field and the condition of their body through the use of a bracelet that reads vital signs and has GPS coordinate capabilities. Not affiliated with Nike (yet), this Jeong Yong Coach tablet is a fantastic idea. It's like mixing the iPad with a Wii to create a really interesting new technology.

Neiman Sports Complex is located on 50 acres of land the Park Board leases from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in Fort Snelling State Park.
The Park Board owns 17 acres of land adjacent to Neiman Sports Complex, most of which is leased to the Fred Wells Tennis and Education Center, a private non-profit organization. The Park Board also operates Fort Snelling Golf Club and maintains (but does not own) a short section of trail connecting Neiman Sports Complex to Minnehaha Trail within Fort Snelling State Park.

The Minneapolis park board's first presence at Fort Snelling State Park occurred in 1992 when the park board leased an existing 9-hole golf course from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The land covered by that seven-year lease totaled 50 acres. When the lease expired in 1999, the park board leased an additional 50 acres, extending the lease for the entire property for 30 years, and purchased 17 acres more for additional recreation facilities.
With the additional land leased in 1999, the park board had the space to develop the competition-quality athletic fields that had been recommended by a Select Committee on Youth Sports in 1997. The park board also considered developing state-of-the-art fields at Bryn Mawr Park, but the Fort Snelling site was selected instead.
In 2001 construction began on a complex of athletic fields that now includes three softball fields, two baseball fields and eight soccer fields, all of which have lights for play at night. The softball and baseball fields also have bleachers.
When construction began the park board chose to honor Leonard H. Neiman by naming the complex for him. Neiman was a park commissioner 1967-1978 and was a leader of the Southwest Activities Council (SWAC), which included Linden Hills Park and Pershing Park. He was a youth football coach and a played a central role in making SWAC one of the leading park activity councils in the city. As a park commissioner he was a passionate supporter of youth sports programs. Neiman's son, Scott, was also a park commissioner, 1982-2002, and served as president of the park board.
The playing fields opened for competition in 2003. In 2012 Neiman Sports Complex (along with Parade Park) hosted the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) World Series, in which 24 elite youth baseball and softball teams from around the United States and Dominican Republic competed in three divisions.
An existing building on the Fort Snelling site that was unused and did not fit into plans for the complex was sold to the Boy Scouts in 2007.
Fields 1 and 2 were redone in 2015.
Fred Wells Tennis and Education Center
The third facility created at the site was developed by a private, non-profit organization on a portion of the 17 acres of land the park board purchased in 1999: a tennis complex with both indoor and outdoor courts. The center provides programs to encourage athletic and academic excellence. The center was developed with a gift of $5 million in 2000 from the Wells Family Fund.
It was not the Wells family's first involvement with Minneapolis parks. In 1927, the four children of Frederick and Mary Wells, who was the daughter of Frank Peavey, had donated to the park board the 3.4-acre site of Peavey's former home at Park Avenue and East 22nd Street. The gift stipulated that the park be named for Frank Peavey. Now considerably larger, Peavey Park extends north to Franklin Avenue. Frank Peavey was also a donor to the park system. In 1891 he donated the first fountain in a city park. The fountain he donated at the intersection of Kenwood Parkway and Lake of the Isles parkway remains there today.

If you're looking for an alternative to the now somewhat ubiquitous West Elm Parsons Desk, check out the new MUJI manufactured by THONET collection of furniture. As always, MUJI manages to pack tons of style into their unbranded brand of housewares, this time using a mix of tubular steel and beech bentwood. This workstation makes me want to create some self-imposed homework assignment in honor of fall, and a set of these chairs would look amazing around a dining room table. I'm also loving their light grey desk chair, which comes in just under $200.
I really can't mention MUJI without telling you about my absolute favorite MUJI discovery - their "My" Linen Napkins. For $21.75, you get two gorgeous, natural linen dinner napkins, red embroidery thread, and instructions for how to embroider every letter in the alphabet, as well as a few choice designs. It's become my go-to thank you gift for crafty friends. You could also buy two packs, embroider a loved one's initials on the corner of all four napkins, and present it as a homemade, personalized gift. How wouldn't love that?! The natural linen and red together just ooze French charm. If you start now, you could have a set for all your family and friends finished in time for Christmas.

Hi Simone,
Wow, Belize - that's some life change! Good for you!
I was watching people get on the city bus this morning, and realized maybe 3 people were smiling - the rest were just... well, they could have been anything, really. But to me they looked resigned. Not even upset or frustrated, just unhappily resigned. So, yes, in 10, 20 or 40 years, I want to be one of those smiling people - like the guy who walked in with a maple leaf stuck to the front of his sweater and didn't even know it.

Aisling Twomey interviews Danielle Boyle, a PR with Special Olympics Ireland
Special Olympics has a special place in Ireland's heart, and most definitely is close to students' hearts also. Every year hundreds of people donate and volunteer with the organisation- and it never fails to be a rewarding experience. I spoke to Danielle Boyle, the PR of a Cork club, and asked her all about why she got involved.
How did you get involved with Special Olympics Ireland?
I got involved in Special OlympIcs back in September 2006 when I was 15 years old. One of my teachers in school talked to us about Special Olympics Ireland. It immediately caught my attention and I took the application form- and the rest, as they say, is history.
What made you decide to help?
I Suppose a lot of people can relate back to Summer 2003 when the Special Olympics Worlds International Games were held here in Ireland. Everyone can remember those live emotional scenes from Croke Park. It was all about supporting difference in a positive light all over the world and that really made me want to get involved when I was in Transition Year.
What's the best thing about working with the athletes and in the wider organisation?
For me starting out volunteering with the athletes I learned NOT to be judgmental and I'm afraid to say it's something we all suffer from but through my experience at Special Olympics that aspect of me has started to decrease on a serious level. Another great aspect of our organisation is showing everyone what people with Special Needs can do and achieve in all areas of society and showing that no physical or intellectual barrier can restrain the power of the human spirit.
Do you think that it's changed your view of the world and the people in it?
One hundred percent!! It has changed my view of how we can automatically judge people without knowing them. It has shown me that all people deserve a chance to express themselves in whatever area of life that they can. It's so important to stand up and certainly be counted.
Has being involved with SOl taught you new things that you wouldn't learn anywhere else?
It has taught me so much- especially about perseverance. These athletes persevere so much and in everything they do and-if! weren't involved in Olympics I don't know where else I would have learned to persevere myself in the areas that I want to be successful at.
Are there any particular people you've met who have influenced you to keep working and volunteering?
I suppose a lot of the people that I've met that have kept me going is the athletes themselves. They're little LEGENDS! They're full of so much positivity and they're willing to learn so much about the sports that they a;e involved in; it's just such a pleasure and I am blessed to work with such a great bunch of people.
What's next for your club?
Our club is full of such talented athletes and I've no doubt you'll be hearing their names in the next few years. Two of our athletes have made Munster Representation and will be taking place in the Special Olympics National Games in Limerick in summer 2010. If they progress from the national stage they may be flying the flag for Ireland in Greece where the World International Games will be held in Summer 2011

Dear Gro Clock,
I must admit I was holding off on buying you for some time
You held so much promise and I knew that once all other options had been exhausted I would be able to rely on you, for not only a decent night's sleep, but to rise at an appropriate morning hour.
I knew that you would be able to solve all our problems. In your shiny box, with your lovely accompanying story.
Oh Gro Clock, how we pinned everything on you!!
The first night we set you we were full of hope!
Tonight, things will be different. Your blue inviting moon and many stars showing a clear sign that it is night time.
Then the morning came. A call from the toddler's room. We woke with bleary eyes, it must be because the sun has risen that we have been called. As tired as I felt, it was ok, because it was morning.
Racing in to my toddler's bed you can imagine my dismay when there is NO sun!! Still moon, with a wide-awake toddler!!! This was not going as well as we had hoped
Don't fear though. Perhaps we rushed things, we were silly to think it would work straight away, these things take time! He needs to make the association between the sun and morning. This doesn't happen overnight.
We still have hope, we just need more time!
2 weeks later every day we are awoken to the sight of the moon and the 1 or 2 remaining stars.
It's ok though, we have a solution! We were being too optimistic!
We will bring the clock forward! Of course, it was too much to expect a sudden change.
Let's set the time for the sun an hour earlier!
We are still winning, right? We lied to ourselves and for the few weeks that followed we happily awoke at the crack of dawn, I mean the sun is up after all!!
Then we decided to push our luck, put the clock forward a little, just 10 minutes at a time, a gradual process that we knew would pay dividends. After all, the Gro Clock is the holy grail of extending sleep. This is our saviour!
Do you know what, it's working! Except it seems the rest of our clocks are out. What time is it?? The sun is up but I'm sure the clock isn't reading morning?! What's happening??
Oh… I see, it seems we have been outsmarted by a 2 1/2year old!!! A mere press of a button and the sun rises at whatever time the toddler choices.
A great leap forward that the connection between sun and morning is made, but equally a step back in any hope we had that this was the solution!
Gro Clock you promised so much, but delivered nothing! No amount of suns, moons, stories or trying, will extend an early risers definition of morning!

Patients spread holiday cheer to help hospitalized children
November 1, 2004
Patients spread holiday cheer to help hospitalized children
November 1, 2004
The Halloween candy isn't yet all gone. And now there's a Thanksgiving dinner to plan. So, why would you want to think about Christmas?
You can support a good cause by ordering holiday greeting cards from the University of Chicago Children's Hospital's Child Life and Family Education Department. Proceeds are used to purchase toys and educational materials and to provide support services for patients and families.
The colorful cards have borders of red, blue, and green. The cards are titled "Children," "Snowmen" and "Tree." Each of the designs is printed on quality card stock and contains a printed holiday message inside. The artists' names and ages are printed on the backs of the cards. Each packet of 20 cards costs $18 (plus $5 per shipment).
The children used different art supplies, including colored pencils, yarn, pipe cleaners, colorful paper and oil pastes, to create their designs. About 20 designs were submitted to the Child Life department, which then votes on the final three pictures.
Five children, ages 5 to 18, worked together on the card "Children." "This was a nice way to include many children of all different ages and genders into creating one art piece," said Emily Rogers, a Child Life specialist. "It was nice to have the kids collaborate on one piece, because they became a part of a team working on one unified goal."
The creator of "Tree" was extremely diligent while working on her design, Rogers said. She paid close attention to the tree's intricate details by creating wispy branches of pine needles in different shades of green and yellow. Pinecones hang from the tree's branches. A bird pecks at seeds at the base of the tree.
"She was trying especially hard about making sure that her design was authentic," Rogers said. "The experience proved to be one that was positive. The patient's mom continually encouraged her daughter throughout the process."
A 14-year-old patient created "Snowmen," which shows a group of "snowballs" dressed in bright striped hats and scarves and mittens. Coal smiles adorn their faces and each has the characteristic carrot nose of most snowmen. Inside is the message "Happy Holidays."
Cards may be purchased from the Child Life and Family Education Department located in the lower level of the University of Chicago Children's Hospital, Room C-10, 5839 S. Maryland Ave., MC0123, Chicago, IL, 60637. Interested parties also may call (773) 702-6481 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Orders also can be sent via fax to (773) 702-3812. Visa, MasterCard and American Express are accepted.

My father has been dead for 13 years. He was a good guy. He was a bastard. He was human. He was my dad.
I have a single picture of him, kept in the back of a book. I have never had the impulse to display or frame it. It's not a particularly good picture. But it's what he looked like when he was healthy, and I'd rather remember that than the dessicated husk my family forced me to view in his casket.
I struggled with the memory of my father for a long time. Do you love someone for the good they do? Do you hate them for the bad? Can you do both at once? There is no doubt that I love my father, but since his death I've had to process my feelings regarding his faults. That's tough. When your father is alive you can rebel against him to process his humanity and yours. When he is dead there is nothing to rebel against. Your anger and sorrow have no wall to dash themselves up against.
One of my sisters think I left the Christian faith because of dad. I have resisted phrasing it this way for over a decade, but in a way she is right. As a teenager I was angry about the circumstances of my life, and the lack of opportunity and hope my parents had given me. I was angry about my parent's faith long before I could recognize or articulate it. Yet in my prime rebellion years my father was very ill. You cannot rebel against a dying man.
I held on to the faith of my father, despite doubt, misgivings and anger, right up until the night he died. I remember that night I prayed what I sometimes think of as "my last true prayer." I told Jehovah and Jesus that my father had loved and served them well, he was in pain and it was time to give him relief. It was time for him to go home. I offered this prayer up in the back of my grandparent's car on the way back to their house from the hospital. Before we reached their home we got the call that he was dying. I slept through his passing, curled up on some uncomfortable piece of hospital furniture with a relative I no longer recall.
Among all the emotion that comes from losing a close relative, came a great surge of relief as I realized I no longer had to deal with God the Father: the staunch, cold patriarchal deity of my father's faith. Jehovah, Yahweh, El, the Big G, or whatever it is that you call him, was no longer connected to me. My father's death snapped that cord irrevocably.
Had he lived and been healthy, I would likely have abandoned the Christian faith sooner and rebelled against a father of flesh and blood. Dated men he didn't approve of and espoused political views just to annoy him. But my father was dead, and I rebelled against a "heavenly" father instead.
There were seven months of spiritual vacation after my father's death in which religion was of little interest to me except as an intellectual curiosity. Faith aside, I suddenly found that I no longer had any rational basis for being anti-GLBTQI, and it became the biggest shock of my life to find that my rational mind was a liberal, as my religious upbringing had shaped me to be rather Republican. Then, by pure chance, I found a reference to Wicca online. I became sucked into one of those vortexes that tend to happen when you go from link to link down an endless internet rabbit hole.
Part of the spiritual revelations I have had of late include the realization that when you struggle against something you feed it. You give it power to be a stumbling block in your life. I was surprised to look inside myself and realize that a small part of me was still rebelling against God the Father. So I stopped. I snapped the cord.
I was surprised at how small and insignificant the god of my father was when I snapped that cord. How inconsequential. And then I turned and saw the vast Universe stretched out all around me and marveled at how wonderfully, awesomely, big it is. It brought to mind the old hymn How Great Thou Art. And for a moment, I felt that my father's faith and mine were the same, without need for disappointment or conversion on either side.
Instead of railing against some angry, beardy god of the Fertile Crescent all these years, I had turned my father into a god, and rejected him. It's not something I meant to do. Never anything I consciously recognized all these years.
So I think I'm going to take my father's picture out, and place it somewhere I will see it now and then. He is neither a god to be exalted nor a demon to be banished. He was human, full of human faults and human blessings. He's long dead, and his spirit has long since moved on. I cannot rebel against him, even by trying to build him up into a boogeyman. He gave me life, a name, and stories both sweet and bitter. But today, he has as much influence on my life as does Yahweh: precisely as much influence as I give him.
So this Father's Day, I'm thinking about remembering my ancestors for the human beings they were, not deifying or demonizing them. I think that's what they would want, but then again, they are dead and might not care.

So, I'll probably go for the tasting menu here - is it paired with wines, or do you just have to choose a bottle? If the latter, does anyone have a good recommendation? I always end up drinking Belondrade y Lurton in Spain, and I could do with broadening my horizons!

The previous close of the Dow Jones Industrial Average is available on the CNN Money website. CNN Money also provides the opening price, daily high, daily low and volume of trading. It also lists the current individual value of stocks, according to the Dow.
Charles Henry Dow began publishing the Dow Jones Average in July 1884, according to MeasuringWorth.com. Eight months later, his average became a daily publication, involving 12 stocks, primarily railroads. The Wall Street Journal included the Dow Jones Average in its first publication in June 1889. The new Dow average included 20 stocks by October 1916. In October 1928, the Wall Street Journal published the first 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) dysregulation has been shown to play a critical regulatory role in papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). BRAF mutation is associated with poor clinicopathological outcomes in PTC. In order to identify a possible association between dysregulated miRNA expression and BRAF mutation as well as clinicopathological features in Chinese patients with PTC, we examined the expression levels of five reported dysregulated miRNAs (miRNA-221, miRNA-222, miRNA-146b, miRNA-181, and miRNA-21) and determined BRAF mutation status in 52 patients with PTC and 52 patients with benign thyroid nodules (BTNs). The expression levels of all five miRNAs were significantly increased in PTC when compared to BTN. The BRAF mutation occurred more frequently in PTC cases with advanced TNM stage. Importantly, miRNA-221, miRNA-222, miRNA-146b, and miRNA-181 expression levels were significantly higher in PTC patients with BRAF mutation. In addition, enhanced expression of miRNA-221 and miRNA-222 was found in patients with cervical lymph node metastasis and advanced TNM stage. Increased expression of miRNA-221 and miR-181 was evidenced in patients with larger tumors. These findings showed a potential role of this distinct profile of miRNAs in differentiating PTC from BTN. BRAF mutation might regulate or interact with miRNA in the pathogenesis and progression of PTC.

Well....... Hello everyone! I am so sorry that I'm late to the party and have fallen behind in visiting the forum lately. To give you an idea of what has happened for the past 2 months.....
First off, The month of July started off excellent! I made my way to RIAT and then off to MAKS in Russia just after that. I then continued on down to Las Vegas for a bit of Red Flag action all without a laptop so I could not even edit pictures on the road. After being away from home for almost a month I did make it home at the end of July. Two days into being home our building had a fire. Thankfully nobody hurt and not a lot of damage to two of the units. But the day after the fire, every person for a "Renoviction" notice. Basically a notice that we all had to move out so the owner could do Renos and then charge more then double the rent for the new finished units using the Fire as an excuse. Needless to say we were very stressed out for the month of August looking for a new home in a market that has a vacancy rate of only 1.6% All the while a Arbitration was filed from other tenants in the building since the owner didn't even have the permits... August flew by and we were down to only having September to find a new home. Well.... After much negotiations and such we found out just over a week ago that we could stay where we live! Wohoo!
So now I'm back and joining James in this Duo build/WIP
Just before the whole mess started I brought out the Trumpeter 1/32 Super Horent out of my stash. I got as far as painting the cockpit tub and then the bad news started. So on that the box was put away till we got the good news!
This build will be a right out of box build. I will not be adding any extras and will be finishing it off in the box top markings to match the Trumpeter 1/32 Tomcat that will be built after this kit providing this kit does not end up smashed against the wall!!! More on why that almost happened shortly.
So again sorry for being away and while I'm at it... Sorry for the phone pictures for the first update. My proper camera is in getting a good cleaning and such. I'll have proper pictures in the next update.
Here we go... First up is the standard Box Shot of what I'll be working on for the next little bit.
21952550_1456519694385619_866330494_o by Rod McDonough, on Flickr
First major problem and this was on day two of the build and only number 3 on the instructions... I'll say it now and I'll say it over and over.. "Dry Fit Dry Fit" everything on these large Trumpeter kits! After gluing in the cockpit and the forward landing gear bay. I did a Dry Fit because something didn't look quite right. Sure enough... The dry fit showed a very large gap that I would have to be filling. After not finding much info on this problem, I spoke with James. He provided a link of someone elses build. Theirs didn't have as much a gap but it did have a little bit of a fix. The fix required me to remove the panel behind the cockpit tub and shave it by 1mm or so. You can't take off to much because if you did, the back seat would touch the canopy. Cockpit removed and the panel shaved, I then did another Dry Fit. Guess what? Yeap still not enough (So that is when the kit almost ended in the bin!) I just could not believe that in only 3 steps and day two of building, I was running in such a nasty problem. So here you see the Ugly Gap. Again sorry for the crap picture.

20170909_124201 by Rod McDonough, on Flickr
Next shot... After a few days and much beer trying to figure a way to fix this. I came up with this idea.. First required me to remove the gear bay and the cockpit tub, once this was done it was now time to shave the top of the gear bay and the bottom of the forward cockpit so thin that the floor almost fell out. Thankfully after the shave here and then putting the tub about a 1mm back. It mostly worked. As you can see in picture 4 here.
20170909_124311 by Rod McDonough, on Flickr
Here we go now... I'm building against the instructions because I once again did a "Dry Fit" This time the bottom middle to back fuselage to the full top fuselage. Guess what? Yeap massive gaps and sink spots! So I went against the instructions and glued the main parts of the wings onto the top fuselage and let that set for the night before dry fitting the bottom again. The instructions say to put together the top and bottom fuselage and then the wings... DON'T! Here are two shots of the problem and fix.
First up some gaps between the main wings and forward bottom fuselage that you will need to fill and fix! There is no cheat to move or shave parts here and by gluing on the wings to the upper fuselage this way allows easy access to fix the issue.
20170917_134309 by Rod McDonough, on Flickr
Next up shows the sinking between the upper aft fuselage and bottom. The only way to fix this and the next issue is to add brace to hold the fuselage spread apart shown in the last shot of this section.
More gaps in the dry fit show that a brace is needed here as well.
20170916_164336 by Rod McDonough, on Flickr
This being a shot of the braces I used to keep the bottom fuselage spread open.
20170917_134330 by Rod McDonough, on Flickr
Lastly the fix is done and the as you can see... With the braces in. I have next to no gaps to fix.
20170917_180853 by Rod McDonough, on Flickr
Alrighty then... This the last fix of this episode. If you choose not to have the wings folded like me. You will find that the part that fills the gap on the wing fold area needs to be sanded down. Again more dry fitting found this problem. Part number E8 needs to be sanded down to a point in the forward direction, if you don't the part will sit proud! Same goes for the other side.
20170916_151859 by Rod McDonough, on Flickr
20170916_152140 by Rod McDonough, on Flickr
Here we go with another problem... For some reason Trumpeter only provided a little stump for the elevators! I managed to fix this by using some leftover tree plastic and made my own bits that would fit in. The elevator on the left is the "Stump" Trumpeter provided. The Elevator on the right has my fix installed.
22047258_1457472407623681_1978034721_o by Rod McDonough, on Flickr
So here I am today... Freshly back from Vegas and where I am with the build. This is the last phone shot and most of the gaps filled. We'll see how the landing gear go now. . Thankfully Thanksgiving weekend is this weekend and I'll get more building done. Till then thanks for looking.
So that is all folks.. I'll be plugging away this weekend for next weeks update. For now a closing shot of the cockpit, again no aftermarket parts. I'll be adding some wash and dirt to the cockpit soon as it is just to clean at the moment.

Doug Flanders (1967-) was born and raised in San Antonio, TX. He attended Dallas Baptist University, but after two years gave up a full scholarship to marry the love of his life, Jennifer (Cowan) Flanders (1965-), also an author (Love Your Husband/Love Yourself: Embracing God's Purpose for Passion in Marriage). A year later they had their first child and Doug started medical school at UT Southwestern in Dallas. By the time Doug graduated, two more children had been added to the family, and Doug was voted "most likely to have a dozen kids" by his classmates. Not wanting to disappoint, he and Jennifer went on to have nine more! With twelve children and five grandsons around, the two writers have plenty of inspiration, but are typically short on time. In addition to his unique family situation, Doug draws on fifteen years in the Army Reserves and twenty-two years as a physician to craft his medical thrillers. "The Prodigy Project" is the first in a series of adventures featuring the rather large Gunderson family as they traverse the globe fighting bio-terrorism.

Hello! I also recently found the "25 ways…" lists for husbands and wives via a friend sharing on Facebook, and my husband and I were so thrilled with them! I have printed my list, but when I tried to click on the link to go to the printable list for my husband, it says it is no longer available. Is there any way I can get the printable one-page list again? Thank you so very much to you and your wife for sharing your lives, love, and work with others! ~Jodie Kilpatrick
So sorry about that, Jodie. Our family site was getting massive amounts of traffic last month and kept crashing, so we had it optimized, but a few of our links got fried in the process. Thanks for alerting us to the problem. I've fixed it now, so you should be able to click through and print both lists without any problem. (You'll find the list for wives here and the one for husbands here, with an option to print either article in its entirety or as a one-page summary.) Blessings! Jennifer
Just wanted to say how awesome your blog on 25 ways to show you love your wife was.
I know it's an old blog but it's a huge blessing to read.
Great principle of looking outside of yourself and tending to the needs of others; and great practical application. Also I thought you handled the negative comments masterfully and gracefully.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm always amazed that blogging about Love can generate so much Anger. The thing that helps me keep perspective is to remind myself that angry people are not enemies, but prisoners. They are held hostage by lies told to them their entire lives by family, friends, and society at large. My goal is not to fight them, but to free them by exposing them to the truth of God's love.

I was inspired by the Selfie Challenge to do another type of shipping challenge, but this one is a bit different. As you know the Selfie Challenge based all the shipping soley based on how one looked. (All you guys looked amazing by the way.) This challenge is based more on personality. It's simple, all you have to do is answer the questions listed below. Your answers will help the Vingle Fam decide on which K-Star you would be best suited for, based on your personality that shines threw the answers to the questions. Easy right? In a way the Vingle Fam is becoming your celebrity matchmaker.
The questions!!! 1. In five words or less describe how you view yourself. 2. Describe your perfect first date. 3. In five words or less describe how your friends view you. 4. Describe the ideal boyfriend/girlfriend. 5. What are you passionate about? 6. What is your biggest pet peeve? 7. What words do you live by? (favorite quote or your motto) 8. What do you do with your free time? BONUS! Because I want to see more y'alls beautiful faces post another selfie. This is totally optional though.
I thought this would be really fun to do, since everyone had so much fun pairing each other up with people who would look good with them, maybe they would have fun taking on the matchmaker approach to shipping. Tag if you decide to do this, so I can see, and tag all the people you want to put to the challenge. HAVE FUN!!

A green-marble fountain crowned with a Napoleon statuette pours a dozen varieties of absinthe, but this New Orleans–style bar (and, now, serious restaurant) has a great list of craft beers, too. Sophisticated crudos are a highlight of the dinner menu; the oyster happy hour is one of the city's busiest, and maybe to be avoided for that reason.
Open since 1998, Diner is a Williamsburg pioneer. A local hangout housed in a 1920 dining car, with sidewalk seating in warmer months, it serves up a different menu of New American dishes every day. The servers write it out on your paper tablecloth. No reservations.
Named after a Bukowski novel, this 600-square-foot whiskey bar offers more appealing paths to drunkenness than the famously low-living writer ever took. There are more than one hundred bourbons and ryes on offer, all of them produced on American soil. The bar food here, including pulled pork and the chicken-liver- and-bacon on baguette, goes down easy.
In a field packed with faux-old-school newcomers, this 115-year-old establishment (complete with phone booths and defunct cigarette machine) is that rare real thing. Bamonte's is now in its fourth generation of family ownership, and has avoided the tourist crowds of its counterparts in Little Italy. The waiters are in tuxedos, the tablecloths are white, and the chandeliers are decidedly not ironic. Nor is the handmade ravioli, each one big as a fist. Classics like clams casino and prosciutto with melon go best with the Godfather atmosphere.
Shortly after opening, this nouveau steakhouse had the foodies raving that its meat was every bit as good as that nearby institution, Peter Luger's. The hanger steak ("butcher's steak") is the go-to item. The panko-crusted beef back ribs, and pan-fried mashes also rock, and in a nice twist, there are several dozen wines available by the half bottle. The style is rustic-chic, with a shingled ceiling.
The brunch waits here are shorter than they are at Diner, its sister restaurant next door. The food is pretty much on par, especially the oysters and irresistible chicken-liver mousse.
Disco balls and old car pulleys hang from the ceiling here, and the menu is no less fun loving. There's an inventive twist on nachos, and delicious braised pork with green pickle butter; servers light a spicy tequila cocktail on fire before sending it your way. Flatbread comes out of a bright red wood-burning oven, as does the pizza dough enveloping slices of capicola and béchamel in house favorite, The Big Chef. Don't miss out on that one.
This top-notch bakery is catnip for savory-sweet fans. Go for broke with the Brooklyn Blackout Cake, an immersion in dark chocolate decadently packed with Ovenly's own pudding-buttercream blend. Scones come in inventive flavors, like blue cheese–pecan, and no one would guess the chocolate-chip cookies are vegan.
With its white-tile walls and marble counters, this year-old fishmarket and raw bar has an appropriately washed-down aesthetic. The founders make it their business to know the provenance of all their seafood, much of which is local, and serve up great fish tacos and lobster rolls.
The trio of Italian owners put farm-sourced ingredients to use in Sardinian-inflected dishes: arugula gnocchi, squid-ink spaghetti, and leg-of-lamb cannellini with anchovy paste. In an original twist, there's nightly live jazz on a sequined stage.
Andrew Tarlow (owner of Marlow & Sons, Roman's, and many other new Brooklyn classics) opened this bar just steps away from the Brooklyn waterfront, in a 1930s building that served for years as a haunt for dock workers. Now it's an all-day tavern that serves up baked goods in the morning and, later on, liverwurst and pâté; the bar sees action pick up by mid-afternoon. Leftover décor from the original lends it the feel of a genuine shipyard dive.
Frothy cocktails and live piano accompany the haute comfort food (chicken and biscuits with honey butter; steak frites with market vegetables) at this lively GreenPoint mainstay. Old movie-theater seats and Broadway props add a vintage- showbiz air.
Before the seasonal New American here started drawing raves, most Brooklynites hadn't even heard of the Vinegar Hill neighborhood. Beef-fennel sausage, arctic char with beets and creamy horseradish, and cast-iron chicken with shallots and sherry vinegar jus are among the highlights at this cozy and bohemian spot. The salvage décor, complete with candles dripping wax, hints at Walt Whitman's Brooklyn.
Delicious pies and irresistibly good vibes make this arguably Brooklyn's favorite pizza joint—and a regular on best-in-the-city lists. The thin, Neapolitan-style crusts are both firm and foldable. Andrew Feinberg and Francine Stephens source and combine top-notch ingredients with the best of them, and the entire operation is admirably eco-friendly. Be advised, the early crowd has lots of kids.
Chef Sam Richman serves up excellent, straightforward Mexican at this hauterustic restaurant near the Dumbo waterfront. The mezcal and tequila cocktails are more flamboyant than the food, and the michelada is perfect for a warm-weather drink on the patio. From the owners of Colonie.
This thirty-seat shoebox, a den of stained wood and subway tile, delights with a flurry of small plates that are served in random order. Make sure to pace yourself, should you order the delicious bone-marrow tacos or fried gnocchi with tomato-sauce dip. On this menu, you really can't go wrong.
With a limited menu that changes daily, chef Dave Gould has won over an audience that's willing to be surprised. His purist approach cuts out all but the most essential ingredients. Lunch might start with sardine and orange salad, proceed to butter-and-sage tortelli, and end with pork meatballs.
The menu is Latin American and the back room appealingly greenhouse-like at this neighborhood favorite. Try the lamb sliders on Brazilian cheese bread, or the duck-confit tacos, made with meat that's stewed four days. The banana cake with asado-smoked pecan frosting will satisfy any sweet tooth.
A 130-year-old former drugstore is now home to grade-A Northern Italian cuisine. Sink your teeth into rosemary tortelli with wild-boar ragu or ribollita, a hearty vegetable stew. Wine is served in the DIY consumption style, whereby you're charged based on how much is left in the bottle.
Chef-owner Gabe McMackin learned his trade at such reputable outfits as Blue Hill, Gramercy Tavern, and Roberta's. His seasonal, farm-to-table restaurant is one of the borough's best. The wine list tops out at $60.
Stodgy Brooklyn Heights has been slower than some of its neighbors to embrace the foodie scene, but you wouldn't guess it here. Herbs line the wall, and smash hits like the ricotta crostini and tender skirt steak come out of an open kitchen. Anything woodsy—like bigoli with hedgehog mushrooms—is a good bet.
An energizing take on a much-maligned food genre, this crackling Asian-fusion restaurant comes courtesy of Top Chef notable Dale Talde. There's an emphasis on Filipino cuisine, evident in the succulent pork with pickled young papaya. Other favorites: Korean fried chicken, yuzu guacamole, and the popular "pretzel" dumplings.
Deep in Park Slope—Windsor Terrace, really—lies an unsung little restaurant that's making a lot of locals happy. The house-made gnudi with corn and onions scores big, as does the skate po' boy. With one coproprietor the owner of a wine shop across the street, the bottle selection here is a good one.
This clean-living kitchen caters enthusiastically to gluten-free, vegan, raw, and kosher diets. The solutions come in the form of shiitake bacon and alkalizing green soup, made from uncooked vegetables. And here, they're also plenty tasty.
A paradise for kids—and nostalgic adults, too. Originally a 1920s apothecary (the original wood cabinets and drawers are still intact), this popular weekend and after-school spot now serves up old-time sodas, floats, malteds, and even that forgotten New York classic, the egg cream. (With a seasonal syrup option, no less.) The sundaes are knockouts, the broken-pretzel caramel one in particular.
If there's a single Brooklyn restaurant that gets everything right, this is it. With only thirty seats, Battersby is not the sort of place you can walk right into. It's got the obligatory brick walls and pressed-tin ceilings. But secure a place here and you'll soon be feeling a vibe so pleasantly convivial—stoked by the pleasures of veal sweetbreads à la meunière and pork-belly parmigiana—that you'll swear you're at a semi private event.
Known for their mastery of the Italian American genre, Frank Falcinelli and Frank Castronovo here revive the Germanic stylings of the late nineteenth-century New York dining experience. Try the house-made wurst and especially the pretzels, with a side of roasted beet and carrot with cayenne-pepper cream. The meats are raised sustainably on small farms. Tables can be hard to come by, but the wood-paneled environs and vintage-inspired cocktails make it a pretty painless wait.
The best pizza place in Brooklyn? As remarkable as the product is the fact that owner Mark Iacono had never made a pie in his life before opening this place (a favorite of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's) a few years back in what used to be his favorite childhood candy shop. The crust is thin, the dough perfectly chewy, the tomato sauce from Iacono's grandmother's recipe. There's nothing on the menu but pizzas and calzones. In a sweet touch, the place is BYOB.
Kitted out with matching chairs and vintage-map wallpaper, this below-thesidewalk restaurant serves up a stimulating blend of Italian and Middle Eastern cuisine. (Check out the pasta with lentils and gigante beans.) Chef Zahra Tangorra's penchant for surprise ingredients adds a nice twist: there's lavendertinged jerk chicken, and the butter's been spiked with Stumptown coffee.
Proven tapas experts Alex Raij and Eder Montero turn out Spanish small plates with a heavy Middle Eastern accent. Not always pretty, the offerings are consistently delicious. Start with paprika-infused fried chickpeas. Go for any genre of croquette. Don't miss the noodle paella, or the cumin-roasted lamb's breast with a smear of date jam.
Owner Noah Bernamoff puts a Montreal spin on the Jewish-deli renaissance—most notably with the smaller, denser (but nevertheless delicious) bagels. The foodstuffs here are smoked and pickled on-site, and the service friendlier than it is at Mile End's old New York reference points. Try the matzo ball soup and the lamb merguez with hummus and harissa slaw. Or go big with the foie gras poutine.
Bourbon lovers, take note. There's American whiskey here of every age and type—150 varieties total—and a complementary menu of excellent southern BBQ. Take that shrimp and grits, or sweet-tea–brined chicken, with an experimental flight: all the bourbons are available in one-ounce pours.
Ingredients-driven cooking in post industrial Gowanus: Chef Poiarkoff serves up a daily-changing menu in a rag-tag space that resembles an abandoned cabin. Sample items include smoked-ricotta agnolotti with pear and chestnuts, and black bass with squash and kohlrabi. There's also a nice variety of small-batch ciders and biodynamic wines.
Red Hook often has an "Am I really in New York?" effect on visitors, and it's in full force at this small, nautical-themed restaurant. There's a beautiful garden dining space that doesn't feel like anything in Brooklyn, and the Asian-accented menu employs ingredients sourced from—no kidding—a neighborhood farm.
Former food writer St. John Frizell opened this local favorite in 2009 with humble aims: to provide his neighbors with "a good cup of coffee, a decent Manhattan, and a bite to eat." It's much more than that, with a rave-worthy burger and eye-openers like the Prescription Julep, with cognac and rye, and London legend Salvatore Calabrese's Breakfast Martini on the cocktail menu.
The pit-smoked meats here are prepared over an oak fire on a pier three blocks away. The restaurant, an old garage, serves up incredible grub and (at a pair of bars) craft beers as well as a wide range of American whiskeys. The huge, peppery beef rib is a must-have.
Artisanal frozen treats in a party-themed space. The flavor list includes Mexican hot chocolate, peppermint pattie, and a surprisingly rich coconut-fudge sorbet. Don't leave without trying a scoop of the audaciously un-sweet salted crack caramel.
This buzzy restaurant is out of the way, but worth it—especially for the pièce de résistance, rabbit marinated in duck confit and popping with Yemeni spices. Other hits include the kibbeh croquettes, with the lamb on the outside. Housed in a former glass factory, in post-industrial surroundings.
Way out in Sheepshead Bay, this family-friendly Turkish restaurant specializes in fresh, lemon-drizzled whole fish and beautifully grilled meats. Try the homemade baklava for dessert.
The wait time can be up to two hours at this celebrated fifty-year-old pizza joint, routinely voted the city's best. It's worth it. From day one, proprietor Dom DeMarco has insisted on making every pie himself.
In summer months, this timeless pizzeria and ice-cream parlor becomes a quintessential Brooklyn hangout. Go for the nearly eighty-year-old establishment's famous "sheets," a Sicilian-style pizza done upside down. The meatball parm hero is a classic, too.

Post: Top 10 Things to Not Put in a Resume (Feb.28, 2008)
Commenter: Bill Sharp
"People shouldn't have to indicate on their resume that they're "good with computers" anymore. The only people who shouldn't have solid computer skills would be those raised in a cave by wolves. If someone wasn't raised in that fashion and doesn't have any computer skills, even the most basic of skills, that would indicate to me that they either skipped a lot of school when they were young or just plain didn't pay attention.
"In either case I wouldn't want to hire someone like that!"
Post: 7 Phrases You Should Never Have on Your Resume (June 26, 2008)
Commenter: Steve
"I'll add one that always bugs me... the phrase 'participated in'. 'Participated in a project to divert an asteroid from destroying the Earth.' Great, does that mean you designed the spacecraft that blew it up, or made copies for the guy who did? That's a phrase you see all the time and it means LESS than nothing."
Post: How to Choose the Best Job Offer: Part III (Sept. 25, 2008)
Commenter: Def Jobseeker DJ Roe B Deckuh, Esq.
"Here's something important to remember — in the event your manager tries to get you to stay after you've voiced your intent to leave, remember why it is you wanted to leave in the first place. Chances are that the reasons why you are leaving will still be there if you stay.
Also, statistics have shown that employees who have given their notice but changed their mind and stayed are more likely to be laid off if a layoff occurs. They are also more likely to be passed over for promotions. Most experts will tell you that once you give your notice you should stick with that decision and not change your mind.
"When you give your notice, you're basically telling your boss and the company you work for that you aren't loyal to them, and that's a two-way street!"

In addition to being specific about your title 'Executive Assistant', take it a step more and list the title of the person that you assisted such as 'Executive Assistant for the Vice President of Sales' or 'Executive Assistant for the Dean of Student Affairs.' This helps HR Managers and recruiters know which area of expertise to place you. The difference in the information that you submit to a prospective employer may help you in finding a better position."
Post: Bald Guys Are Beautiful! So Why Not Hire One? (Jan. 27, 2009)
Commenter: Ritchie Blackmore
"Baldness is NOT necessarily a sign of age. Anyone who would assume that needs to live a little bit. There are several factors that can cause baldness other than age, some voluntary and some not.
"Bald women aren't bad to hire, either.
"The true discrimination that exists in the hiring market today is based on AGE, certainly not the amount of hair someone has. Boast all you want about being gainfully employed, but the time comes for all of us eventually where we can't say that."
Post: Office Pet Peeves: Puh-leeeeze Stop Doing That! (Nov. 13, 2008)
Commenter: Sorry J.
"One of my biggest peeves are those 20-somethings that think they own the world. You know, the ones that come out of college and they're just cocky and think they know it all.
"I can tell right away which of them are going to make it and which will be a victim of their own arrogance. Most of them are childish little brats who don't know how to behave in the workplace. They act like idiots and the women dress like little whores and flaunt themselves in the workplace. The little boy brats love it so much.
"I like to stomp 'em. I like taking them to task and showing them that they have to put their time in before they can act like their %$^%& doesn't stink. So many of these little brats are headed in the wrong direction and if they don't grow up and act like professionals, I, for one, won't help them learn the ropes.
"When I started working in a professional environment, if I would have acted how the kids do now, I wouldn't be where I am today - owner of my own company. I like to squash 'em like little bugs ... little annoying gnats that buzz around your face. I squash 'em and put them in their place ... if they want to work for me!"
Post: Everyone Should Be Short, Accurate, and Interesting (Aug. 20, 2008)
Commenter: Mary L.
"You may have misunderstood my comment — I don't think everyone should be short. I think people 6 feet tall or even taller have a useful purpose in this life. Although we did learn, through the adventures of Peter Brady, that being short is an ok thing, being tall can also prove to be a good thing also!"

Apparently, not all lawyers in India are crazy about the outsourcing trend heating up in India and other lower-cost developing nations. According to Merinews, written from India, Legal Process Outsourcing is the latest and hottest trend. Big corporations are reaping the benefits. New job opportunities are being created. LPOs (Legal Process Outsourcing) seem to have a bright future in India in the coming years.
Major corporations benefit from having work done at a quarter of the price, while the developing countries benefit from the huge influx of income and job creation. The latest industry to join the outsourcing rat race is the legal sector. Legal outsourcing has already created 12,000 job opportunities in India alone and this figure is expected to rise to as many as 79,000 by 2015.
But the response from young Indian lawyers seems to be less than positive. Ramneek Sidhu, from Delhi Law School says, "After investing three years in law school, I don't want to be caught dead working as a clerk in an LPO."
Nishita too agrees with this view and further adds, "A lawyer in an LPO is definitely earning good money but at the same time is not justifying his/her profession. There is no direct litigation involved which is the essence of being a lawyer."
Brij, a young attorney working with an LPO feels quite differently to both Ramneek and Nishita. He believes that he is making a sound progress in his career graph by working with an LPO. He says, "Many lawyers nowadays, whether in India, the US or the UK rarely see the inside of a court room. Working within an LPO and not a law firm allows me to keep in sync with the latest developments in US law. The legal thought process that any young attorney must develop over time comes from studying, reading and writing legal briefs and memoranda. I hope that I demonstrate my passion and emotion for law in the arguments I raise in the legal motions and documents I prepare. "
Mark Ross from the outsourcing group Lawcribe, is quoted as saying, "we are only in the nascent stages of this exciting and emerging industry. He says, "In the course of the next two to three years, a vast number of qualified Indian attorneys will be working within the industry. I believe the Indian government and the Bar Association will be left with no alternative other than to formally open up the market to foreign law firms and allow Indian attorneys to practice US and UK law from within India's borders."
From attorneys to paralegals, outsourcing is weathering opposition, controversy and still some success. Lawscribe, a recent sponsor to one of our Paralegal SuperConferences addressed the audience on how clients and law firms will save money by outsourcing attorney and paralegal functions to India. Unfortunately, the message the audience chose to hear was "The client will save money and the firm will make more. Unfortunately, you will lose your job." Needless to say, Lawscribe was not a big hit on the Paralegal circuit.
While the company was upset by the response of the audience, they say someone should have told them the audience would not be receptive. My response was that they should have done their homework and chose another way to deliver the message. I offered to help but they refused. My opinion was that the approach they should have taken was to teach attorneys and paralegals how to outsource and at the same time bring up their own position another rung on the ladder by absorbing more sophisticated and diversified assignments. It's the only way that outsourcing will work.
This is not the first time outsourcing has reared its head. Years ago, litigation support companies such as Quorum Litigation, outsourced coding to the Philippines. This is not a new concept. Fear ran amok attorneys and paralegals then. But what happened was, clients saved money, firms made more and paralegals and attorneys dropped the lowest common tasks to the lowest competent level. Rarely now, do you see paralegals coding.
It will be interesting to see if outsourcing to India takes off as predicted or flak from both countries prevents it from succeeding.

In Brandi's new tell-all book 'Drinking & Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders' the reality star reveals why she wanted to improve her lady parts after her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian cheated on her with LeAnn Rimes. Plus, how she ended up paying for her new lady parts!
Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it shouldn't look pretty, at least that's what Brandi Glanville thinks. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star reveals in a new excerpt from her book Drinking & Tweeting And Other Brandi Blunders, that after Eddie Cibrian left her for LeAnn Rimes, she decided that she wanted an "Eddie-free vagina."
Why Brandi Got A Vagina Makeover
Brandi reveals that she wanted to get vaginal rejuvenation because she was going through such a tough depression after her divorce.
"I was a jobless, homeless, mother of two living out of her $1,200-a-month SUV and couch-surfing from one hospitable friend to the next," she revelas in her excerpt to Life & Style. "After my divorce — even with the help of Lexapro — I fell into a bit of a tailspin [and an eventual DUI arrest]. White wine became my constant shoulder to lean on."
That's when Brandi decided she needed a new vagina!
Brandi Glanville's Plastic Surgery — She's Spent $23,500+ On Operations
"This pretty intense surgery had an even more intense price tag: $12,000," Brandi says. "A brand-new vagina would be an Eddie-free vagina…. I decided that since Eddie had ruined my vagina for me, he could pay for a new one. I gave [the doctor's office] Eddie's credit card number."
Brandi Forgives Eddie & Wants To Thank Him
"I would like to thank my ex-husband, Edward Cibrian," she writes. "For giving me all the material I could ever need to write this book and for helping me discover the strong independent woman inside of me."

I am board certified in clinical psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology, a fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Psychology, and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California, San Francisco.
In addition to having a clinical practice, I write psychology textbooks for college students, which has given me a real appreciation for the science of psychology and what research can teach us about how to improve our lives. I strive to give clients as many psychological "tools" as they can use in order to improve their lives. That's why I was drawn to the Gottman Method Couples Therapy: it is based on decades of research on couples, and the method provides couples with many tools to improve their connection and communication, and to manage conflict in a way that causes less hurt and more mutual understanding.
I've been in practice for over 25 years, and along the way have developed expertise treating in a range of problems including various forms of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, sexual dysfunctions and psychological issues related to infertility. I have had training in a variety of types of psychotherapy including cognitive-behavioral therapy, family therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, and I have been certified in clinical hypnosis.

Artificial Field Recordings
Cat Sun 2012
07 Tracks. 48mins31secs
A musician, he is member of experimental pop out Brasil And The Gallowbrothers Band, graphic designer and magazine editor, Tomasz 'Tomek' Mirt also heads Polish imprint Cat Sun and helps run parent label Monotype Records. With his solo project, soberly named Mirt, he has been experimenting with acoustic and electric instrumentation and electronic processing for over a decade, releasing his debut album, Rain In City Of Myrrh And Forget-Me-Not back in 2001, and he has since published a further four records, two for Cat Sun and two for Monotype.
Field recordings have always been an integral part of Mirt's solo work, and this album, his sixth, is no exception, but his approach is slightly different here as he relies on electronics to create similar textures to those he would ordinarily collect in his surroundings and process into his music.

Smoking, not getting enough physical activity and eating a diet high in refined carbohydrates are some of the reasons for a low HDL cholesterol level, notes Harvard Medical School. High-density lipoproteins are particles that carry cholesterol.
HDL is known as good cholesterol, but not all HDL particles carry cholesterol out of the bloodstream, states Harvard Medical School. Some of these particles actually carry cholesterol into the cells. Genetics play a role in determining whether someone has a low HDL or high HDL level. Being overweight is also linked to low HDL levels. Beta-blockers, progestins, anabolic steroids and other medications affect HDL levels in some people.

To face the future challenges this industry must use equipment that is most adaptable to the production processes that make companies competitive on an international scale. One of the activities that engineers are most passionate about is definition, design and development of machinery based on functions and previously established features.
To design capital goods or similar products you need to have knowledge of metallic materials and manufacturing technologies. These are aspects that can not be adequately developed in a generic university level engineering education. This postgraduate course in Metallic Component Design using Industrial Equipment seeks to fill this void.
Designing industrial machines and equipment in this industry involves producing metallic components that must comply with a wide variety of requirements like shape, aspect, environmental behaviour, production volume according to cost, etc. Nowadays the designer has a growing diversity of compliant treatment and coating materials and processes at their disposition. Special attention is given to the processes that allow for a high degree of versatility when manufacturing in small production runs.
The purpose of this postgraduate course is to provide the knowledge and tools needed to make the best decisions in terms of the functions, shapes, materials and processes based on the requirements of the metallic component they wish to design and implement these decisions during this course by doing metallic component design exercises. Understanding the different technologies demonstrated during this course are further reinforced with visits to companies within the sector.
Applicants are given the option of making a voluntary €5 contribution when formalising their enrolment. As part of the UPC's 0.7% Campaign, this donation will go towards meeting charitable needs in developing countries.

Eastbourne and Willingdon MP Caroline Ansell will present a petition to Parliament next week asking for women born in the 1950s to have better state pension entitlement.
Around 4,700 women in the constituency are affected by rules to equalise the state pension ages for men and women that say they cannot claim a state pension until 66 when they had been told it would be 60.
The change has come as the Government is committed to equalising the retirement age for men and women, but women born between 6th April 1951 and until 6th April 1960 will be affected by the six-year jump and miss out.
Caroline has supported the campaign by Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) to lobby the Government into introducing transitional arrangements for those women affected.
"This really is an unfair situation that I campaigned to try and correct since I was elected," she said.
"I do not underestimate how difficult the task or how challenging it is to seek to reverse of what was fought and lost in the last Parliament, but that doesn't mean we should not try and I feel I would be letting down all those women in Eastbourne and across the country if I did not do everything I can to try and get some form of concession.
"Women in Eastbourne and Willingdon have been seriously disadvantaged by the change and in their name I will take this as far and as high as I can."
Caroline will be joining the local WASPI group on this week to gather up the petition before it goes to Westminster. The petition will be presented, along with others from across the country, on October 11.
Anyone who wants to sign it can do so at Caroline's office in Grove Road or see www.carolineansell.co.uk/waspi

Susan Poulin to perform 10th Anniversary Production of "In My Head I'm Thin"
April 8, 9 & 10
Friday & Saturday at 7:00pm
Sunday at 2:00pm
Town Hall, Main Street, South Berwick, ME
Tickets $15, $12 for Students, seniors & South Berwick residents
Reservations: 207-384-4526
"A Wicked Good Time at Town Hall!", comedy in South Berwick the second weekend of the month, concludes with "In My Head I'm Thin." Join Susan Poulin and Gordon Carlisle of Poolyle Productions as they celebrate the tenth anniversary of their theatrical collaboration by turning the spotlight on our national obsession with body image.
In that great fruit bowl of life, are you a pear or an apple? Does eating dessert feel like a mortal sin? Do you feel like your clothes are shrinking? Cheer up, you're in good company. After all, how do you think the Venus de Milo would look in a thong? "I love performing "In My Head I'm Thin" because every night I get to laugh, cry and sing my way to self-acceptance," says Poulin. "I always feel better about myself at the end of the play then I did at the beginning, and I think the audience does too. They seem identify with my journey."
"In My Head I'm Thin" is Poolyle Production's most visually rich play thanks to Carlisle's imaginative props. There are giant copies of nude figure paintings by Titian and Boucher with holes cut out for Poulin's head. She brings these voluptuous Venus's to life and they get to tell their side of the story. Plus, the show is peopled by some wacky characters like Bethany Perkenstien, an aerobic instructor from Hell who does everything in repetitions for 666 and Skip Somersworth, the sleazy host of the game show, "Where's Our Mind".
Says Carlisle, "All the information in the game show is true, but it's so off the wall that it takes the audience a few minutes to realize how startling the facts are. For example, more women fear getting fat than dying. That blows my mind!."
Christiane Northrup, M.D. author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, The Wisdom of Menopause and Mother-Daughter Wisdom writes, "'In My Head I'm Thin' is one of the funniest and most uplifting shows I've ever seen. After I saw it the first time, I convinced our local girl scout leader to take her whole troop as a way to help "immunize" them against future eating disorders. It was a huge hit with all of them-and their mothers! This play should be required viewing for everyone in this country."
"In the decade since we wrote "In My Head I'm Thin", things have gotten worse, not better," says Poulin. "Every magazine cover features a new diet or exercise program, childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions and we now have television shows like "Extreme Makeover" and "The Swan". Sitting in a darkened theater and watching someone struggle and come to terms with it all is like taking a mini-vacation. And remember, laughing burns up calories so you can indulge in a guilt free dessert at intermission."
Selected by Portland Magazine (Nov. 2003) as one of the "Ten Most Intriguing People in Maine", Susan Poulin has been a featured performer at the Women's Performance Festival at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, The Maine Festival and the Minneapolis Fringe Theater Festival. She was voted the 1996 Contemporary Story Champion at the First Annual Yankee Yarns Contest in Keene, NH and has twice been selected as a New Hampshire State Council on the Arts Individual Artistic Fellowship Finalist. Poulin was recently awarded a 2005 NH Council on the Arts Traditional Arts Apprenticeship grant to study Traditional Franco-American Music with master artist Lucie Therrien.
Gordon Carlisle has been actively involved as a visual artist, songwriter, writer and actor on the New Hampshire Seacoast and in Southern Maine for over twenty years. A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, Carlisle primarily makes his living as a visual artist, creating both private and public murals (including New Hampshire's largest mural, "Lest We Forget" in Manchester), graphics and illustration. His artwork has been exhibited around the US. In 1999, Carlisle was awarded a New Hampshire State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship for his achievement as a muralist.
As the "Poolyles", Poulin and Carlisle have been collaborating on plays, songs, and artwork for over a decade. Their critically acclaimed productions IN MY HEAD I'M THIN, SPOUSAL DEAFNESS. . . AND OTHER BONES OF CONTENTION, PARDON MY FRENCH! (nominated for the Portsmouth Herald's 2003 Spotlight on the Arts Award for best original script) and IDA: WOMAN WHO RUNS WITH THE MOOSE (the Portsmouth Herald's 1998 Spotlight on the Arts Award Play of the Year) have broken box office records throughout New England. Together, they've been commissioned to write theatrical presentations for a number of national organizations.
Thank you!

Two reports in one blog for me. I was so disappointed with my performance last week I simply had to save the match report until I'd made amends, and tonight was the night. Both of the Wheatsheaf match reports now follow:
We lost the opening Team Game, but immediately scored three points with a superb Doubles win for Jean and Willie (two consecutive 140's brought them back in the game before Willie finished with a D1), myself and Alan's Doubles win (pleasing shots of a 140 followed by a 125 and a winning X6 from me), and Mark and Roger's Doubles win (Roger hit the winning X9).
After last week's game I was desperate to show some focus and play well. I was against the darts (throwing second) against one of their senior players (Stewie), and I was into my 6th throw before I hit anything under 60. I've never known a match night like this where I've hit the T20 with the first dart. This gave me a good lead, and I was able to sink my finishing X6 without pressure. Well, only the usual pressure of goosing up a good game, but thankfully this was to be change from recent form, and I was really relieved to pick that winning dart out of the board.
Alan then won his Singles game with a great 99 finish to make it 5-5 on the night, and 10-10 over the two legs. Alan had to pick 120 pints off the floor in just one throw (he still scored 60), so he did well to ignore the bad luck and grab this point.
Man Of The Match to me for hitting two winning doubles, but I don't like to talk about it :o)
