|hahaha!! Funny Gary! Considering that I have 22 of your little "rejects" -- which I love and am babying like they were gold.
I would love to try but I need to have a "dabbling" session with Kit and Gary before I try my hand at it.

I started to play around a couple of winters ago. I looks like I have all solids but I have two venusta types that are in bloom as we speak. I was surprised because this is only their second year and there so tiny. - dash

|It's still early but I don't think we will grow quite as many as we did last year. That could be subject to change when the cold weather in November has a way of stroking that itch. We will definitely be a little more willing to cull this time though.

|I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd revisit it.
After trying my hand at growing a few seeds I got from Chris at Hallson's (and getting at least one, and maybe two, streakers from the batch of 15 seeds) I think I may just give hybridizing, of a sort, a whirl this year.
I was reading a writeup about the late Mildred Seaver and was inspired by how she said she hybridized by letting nature do all the work--she cut the flower scapes off the "uninteresting" hostas she didn't want to breed and let the bees spread the pollen elsewhere, then collected the seeds from the pod parents. I have 'Christmas Tree Gala' (a streaked breeder) and I'll probably use Mildred's technique and see what she produces this fall. :)
Check out Petiole Junction, my garden blog! (I'd love your comments.)
Mar 24, 2011 10:35 AM CST
|Good Luck. It will be interesting to see how it goes. I enjoy seeing what you all come up with when hybridizing.

Employment income: board and lodging: example
Sections 62 and 203 ITEPA 2003
Employee A
Employee A is paid £7,500 a year for 2015/16, with free board and lodging provided by the employer. The employer already owns the premises where the board and lodging is provided, and the additional direct costs incurred by the employer in connection with the provision (food, heat, light, and so on) total £900 per annum. A receives no other expenses payments or benefits.
A is not taxed on the benefit of the board and lodging. The benefit cannot be converted into money, so it is not earnings within Section 62 ITEPA 2003 (see EIM00520).And there is no charge under the benefits legislation because A is lower paid (the total of the cash wage, £7,500, and the "cash equivalent" of the board and lodging, £900, is less than £8,500).
If the cash wage, plus the cash equivalent of the board and lodging, had added up to £8,500 or more A would have been chargeable on the full cash equivalent (that is, the cost to the employer of providing the benefit) under Section 203, and the employer would have to report the benefit on form P11D. From 2016/17 onwards A is chargeable on the full cash equivalent, regardless of her rate of pay.
Employee B
Employee B has a contract of employment under which she is entitled to a salary of £10,800 a year (£900 a month) for 2015/16. The employer provides B with board and lodging, in respect of which they deduct £150 a month from her pay. The actual cost to the employer of providing the board and lodging is £180 a month.
The employer must operate PAYE on the full £900 a month, before deducting the £150 for board and lodging. The full amount of the salary that B is entitled to receive under her contract of employment is earnings within Section 62, and the £150 is not allowable as a deduction under Section 336 (see EIM31620 onwards).
B is not lower paid, and she is therefore chargeable under Section 203 on the "cash equivalent" of the benefit of the board and lodging. The cash equivalent is £30 a month (cost to the employer £180 a month, less amount made good £150 a month).

Harsil in Uttaranchal - Best Long Weekend Getaway from Delhi
How about camping in Harsil with kids and family while sitting on the banks of Bhagirathi river near one of the most popular Chardhams of India? Yes it is true as there is some good news for delhites and for worldwide travelers who are searching for best long weekend getaway spots near Delhi. After checking the long weekend calendar for this year, I found that starting from October 9 to December 31, there are around six long weekend breaks and important holidays that can be utilized to discover northern parts of India. When we talk about Northern India, nothing is much better than Harsil, a small village, in Uttaranchal India where one can plan a weekend long trip. No car horns, no noise, no pollution. Just every now and then, you will hear chirping of birds and the sound of water flowing down the rocks. It is so relaxing and soothing that the feelings of this place cannot be explained in words. The feeling is same in the night as it is in the daytime.
Also, if you live in or around Delhi, you must have visited various overcrowded hill stations like Shimla Mussourie, Nainital, but believe me, your kids and family will be really happy if you will take them to a camping vacation to Harsil. Just like McLeodganj and Lansdowne in Uttaranchal, Harsil is again a little vacation spot away from the mad crowd of tourists visiting popular hill stations of Northern India. Harsil is situated in Uttaranchal State of India and is located close to Gangotri which is one of the four Hindu Pilgrimage Spots called as Char Dham of India (watch video below) witnessing thousand of devotees round the year, but then also very few know about Harsil. This is the reason why it is still not very popular among many which is a good thing for nature and peace loving people like you and me. Now without wasting time in talking about the history of Harsil, I will tell you about its beauty with some pictures, what you can do and see here, nearby attractions spots, how to reach Harsil, cost of fuel, accommodation and hotels in Harsil, total cost of visit for four people to Harsil from Delhi to give you an idea on the budget. I have also provided an interactive map marking all stops en route from Delhi to Harsil to make your journey a comfortable one.
Trekking in Harsil - Climbing hills above Harsil from Char Dham
What to do and see in Harsil?
Harsil itself has so many beautiful views and you need not to actually go anywhere else. Just walk to the army base nearby or simply walk down to the village and do some shopping of the woolen products like shawls, sweaters, etc. made by villagers. Though Harsil is situated in Uttaranchal, the look of the people of this village is somewhat like Tibetans. People are very friendly, cooperative, and soft spoken. There is a river flowing down between the tourist stay options and the village and you can visit the village with the help of a wooden bridge which is ages old but strong enough till now. The view everywhere around you is so soothing that you will forget to do anything and will keep enjoying the natural surroundings sitting along the riverside. This place is covered with lush green hilly forests. All the houses in the village are built with a mixture of mud and wood. The population in Harsil is not more than a few hundred.
Harsil is also famous for its variety of trekking routes, camping, and dense forests. It is a small village with some places of interest in the surroundings like bird watching, trekking, or simply building camps with kids and family near the river. You can also drive down to Gangotri and offer your prayers to the Goddess Ganges. From there, if you still wish to continue, you can do the Gaumukh trek, which is 16 kilometers long and will take you to the source of river Ganges making it the most peaceful weekend trekking spot in India.
In 2004, when I did this weekend long travel with my friends, we actually did nothing but to either visit the village, play with local children, who are really chirpy and pink cheeked, or simply stand at the bridge and stare at the crystal clear water flowing beneath us. We enjoyed our hard drinks and beers in the night camping along the banks of the river.
Camping - Most enjoyable thing to do in Harsil
It you want to have a chilled beer, just fix your favorite beer bottle in the roaring river water with the help of small stones and gravels, set a base camp or sit beside at any rock, ignite a bonfire, wait for sometime, enjoy the delicious snacks prepared by the cook of a nearby hotel and just after a few minutes, enjoy your drink which has gotten chilled by now.
Nearby Attraction Spots in Harsil
Well to be honest, there are limited places of attraction nearby, apart from visiting the famous Gangotri temple offering your prayers to the Goddess and enjoying camping and trekking at nearby places, but according to my experience, this place actually does not require any nearby place of interest. This place has loads of natural beauty, so enjoy camping, play games, do trekking, or simply use the walking treks alongside the river, sit on the banks of river, lie down, relax, and watch the sky. On the funniest part, being Lazy is the best activity in Harsil. All these activities will make you stress free of busy activities you have done in Delhi.
You can also visit army base in Harsil and interact with officers there if you want to know about the history of this place or other places worth visiting, but we were so amused by Harsil alone that we didn't bother to go anywhere else.
One more thing to add, when you are on the way back to
Delhi, you can
stop over at the famous Tihri Garhwal Dam which looks awesome as shown in the above pic.
How to reach Harsil by air?
The airport nearest to Harsil is Jolly Grant airport at Dehradun which is approximately 235 kilometers away from this place. After reaching the airport, you can hire a cab to Harsil.
How to reach Harsil by train?
Rishikesh is 218 kilometers from Harsil and is the nearest train station and again from there you need to take the services of a taxi operator to visit Harsil.
How to reach Harsil from Delhi by road?
Harsil is easily accessible by roads so it is best to reach Harsil by road because on your way, you will experience the best part nature has to offer. Harsil is at a distance of around 430 kilometers from New Delhi.
Interestingly, there are two major routes for reaching Harsil which we will cover but the first one is the shortest route, so we will cover it first:
Route A (Please also check map for route A)
From Delhi, take National Highway 58 and reach Rishikesh via Ghaziabad, Modinagar, Meerut (just before the entrance to Meerut city, you will see a road sign indicating left as bypass and direction for Haridwar, Dehradun, so take left and continue on the bypass and merge on the highway at the end), Muzaffarnagar (from here just before the entrance to Muzaffarnagar city, you will see Muzaffarnagar bypass on the right, take right to avoid city traffic), then take right as the bypass ends (you will see a road sign indicating Roorkee, Haridwar at right), take right and then continue towards Rishikesh via Roorkee, Haridwar on the route. As you reach Rishikesh, leave NH58 which goes straight and take a left on NH94.
On NH94, continue till Dharasu via small towns like Narendra Nagar at Rishikesh Gangotri Yamunotri route, Jhajal, New Tehri, Tehri Dam and Chamba (not the Himachal wala Chamba). As you hit Dharasu, take a right on National Highway 108 (straight goes to Yamunotri on the same NH94) and continue towards Harsil via Genwala, Uttarkashi, Bhatwari (Bhatwari is a good place to stop for snacks), Raithal, Gangnani, and finally Harsil.
As you cross Chamba, you will witness one of the best drives of your life, as for most of this route, the famous Bhagirathi river will accompany you. Sometimes, you will see the river flowing down thousands of feet and sometimes, you will be driving alongside the river. It will be a drive full of majestic mountain views and lush green fields.
Route A: Starting Location A: Delhi and Ending Location G: Harsil
Route B (Please check map below for route B)
This route is for those who want to visit Mussorie hill station too and wish to stay here for one night before moving to Harsil. (we took this route while going). This route is similar to route A until Muzaffarnagar bypass end, where you will see the road sign showing direction asking you to turn right for Haridwar and Rishikesh.
DO NOT turn right as suggested for route A and instead continue straight from the roundabout and drive until the T-point. Take right (left goes to Shamli, Baraut) on NH72 and it's a straight drive up to Dehradun via towns like Deobandh (famous place for Muslim Ulema and their all India meetings), Chhutmalpur, Mohand, and finally Dehradun. From here, you can directly go to Rishikesh (NH72 on the right) or continue towards Mussorie on the Rajpur Road. Later, you will find a signboard indicating left turn for Mussoorie (straight goes to Jhari Pani), take left and reach Mussoorie (from Delhi to Mussoorie, its around 275 kilometers). Once you are through with the night crowd of Mussoorie mall road (there are a lot of hotels in Mussoorie) and its shops, next morning take the route to Dhanaulti (another little place for those who look around for places to visit from Mussoorie). From Dhanaulti, continue straight towards Chamba and finally at Chamba of Uttaranchal, you will join the main NH94 towards Harsil. I cannot tell the exact distance between Mussoorie and Harsil, as the route we took via Dhanaulti to Chamba is nowhere available in the google maps and being a 2004 tour, I don't remember the trip reading now but for easy records, it cost us around 550 kilometers to reach Harsil from Delhi via Mussoorie so I feel another 100 to 110 odd kilometers is the extra distance but the road from Mussoorie to Chamba via Dhanaulti is again full of scenic beauty.
Route B: Starting Location A: Delhi Via Mussoorie and Ending Location G: Harsil
GMVN Tourist Bungalow Harsil Uttaranchal near Gangotri Chardham
Cost of Fuel and Logistics to and fro from Harsil to Delhi
The cost will be shared by four people as if we take four people as standard for per person cost reference, so the costs would be fuel/4, stay/2 (on double occupancy basis for 2 nights) and food/4, it is just for reference and may vary depending on the vehicle and number of occupants.
Now for fuel, we will take the first and the shortest route for calculation, so the distance is approximately 430 kilometers one side and we add another 100 kilometers for trip to Gangotri and back (75 kilometers approximately) and other local traveling (25 km) so the distance comes out to be 530 km one side plus 430 km other side is equal to 960 km. Now, the average mileage for petrol car is 15 kilometers per liter and diesel car's mileage is 18 kilometers per liter. The rate for petrol and diesel will be taken as 51 rupees per liter and 40 rupees per liter respectively.
Petrol: 960/15= 64 liter fuel, so 64 x 51 rupees per liter = 3264
INR, so 3264/4 = 816 INR per person
Diesel: 960/18= 53 liter fuel, so 53 x 40 rupees per liter = 2120
INR, so 2120/4 = 530 INR per person
Accommodation and Hotels in Harsil
For accommodation purposes, frankly speaking, there are not so much options for stay in Harsil and it has only 4 to 5 important hotels. It is best to stay at GMVN Tourist Bungalow in Harsil but prior booking is required as it is in high demand at all times, especially during tourist season. All of them have tariff in the range of 700 to 2000 INR per night for two, so we will take average tariff of 2000 for two, so for 2 nights, it would be 4000/4 = 1000 per person for two nights.
Food in Harsil
Again for four people as a standard measure, we assume per day food cost (food is not expensive here) to be around 1200 INR (excluding hard drinks) so 1200 x 3 days = 3600/4 people = 900 per person.
So the total cost of visit by four people to Harsil from Delhi by car is:
Petrol Car: 816 + 1000 + 900 = 2716 INR per person
Diesel Car: 530 + 1000 + 900 = 2430 INR per person
The total cost of travel, food, and stay in Harsil for four people is 20584 INR (450 dollars) which is really amazing. This is the cost when traveling with friends but if you are traveling with kids and family, add another 5000 to 7000 rupees if you are four people, only 100 to 200 dollars more for foreign nationals, so enjoy the best long weekend getaway spot near Delhi within budget and do not forget to visit Gaumukh
Gangotri as it is an amazing experience, but be cautious as the walking trek to
Gaumukh is very steep, narrow, and slippery in times of rainfall in Uttaranchal. According to my review of Harsil, it is still undiscovered but it has a potential of becoming a popular long weekend vacation spot in the coming future because of camping facilities near the river, trekking options, and other kid friendly activities.

Kathleen Castro, the Loggers Run Middle School fifth-grader who won a national poster contest sponsored by the Weekly Reader, may not get a phone call from President Reagan, but she will get to shake hands with members of the Palm Beach County School Board this Wednesday.
Castro won a national essay and poster contest on what the president's top goal in office should be with an entry urging that nuclear war be prevented.
The prize of the contest, sponsored by the Weekly Reader, was to be a call from President Reagan.
But the magazine, which is owned by the Xerox company, did not have a guarantee that Reagan would be able to make the call. Weekly Reader officials said in January that negotiations were going on with the White House over the call. But a White House spokesman who asked not to be identified said Thursday that it's still up in the air whether the president will call.
School Superintendent Tom Mills said one of the reasons the board wants to honor Castro is to make her feel better in light of the mix-up.
"I don't know who made the mistake, but certainly in my opinion, somebody has caused an unnecessary hurt to the child and the school," he said Thursday.
"Maybe we'll have to drop our subscription to the Weekly Reader," he added.
The school, west of Boca Raton, had made special preparations for the call by borrowing special conference calling equipment from AT&T; and using school maintenance personnel to in stall it.
The school board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, 1801 North Ocean Blvd., Boca Raton.

THE UNRIVALED Secrets For Creating Useful Contact Techniques (Test) By: Marie Fincher
Transmission may be the basic for any that takes place.https://www.writemyessayforme.us/ Consider it. Coaching and understanding, selections, products, legislation, interactions Andndash; all happen aided by the field of correspondence. Regardless that we are living in a whole world of sending text messages, e mail, Facebook, and the like, perform still need to speak appropriately. We have to be sure that the things we say custom paper writing services is precisely what we necessarily suggest to mention and the the receivers in our interaction determine what our company is stating. If conversation ability are definitely not enhanced, the two posting and getting, then an individual's very own and pro everyday life can be affected. Battles have already been fought considering that functions have declined to talk; a major source of separation is lack of success in contact; firms are unsuccessful mainly because the major gamers don't correspond appropriately with the other person or because of their valued clients/buyers.
The best trouble with communicating may be the impression so it has gotten spot.
George Bernard Shaw
You don't want conflicts, frequently qualified or individual. They are certainly not very. This article has become created so that you will may perhaps examine, increase, and excellent track your contact knowledge and custom essay get away from the not so good stuff that come up when contact should go awry.
Section 1: Discover ways to Tune in
Finding out how to hear requires obligation of energy and interest.
Every person like a baby has experienced this being attentive video game. We sat inside a massive group of friends. A key was whispered in the ear canal within the very first human being. That individual then whispered the secrets to another, etc in the whole entire group. The very last particular person to obtain the content then openly publicized the secrets. Absolutely everyone at all times laughed, a result of the surprising distinction between the actual concept and just how it obtained adjusted given that it created its way surrounding the group. That is accustomed to establish our hearing skillsets are merely not too superior. Finding out how to take note requires determination of your energy and particular attention. We usually tend to not have considerable time. But finding the time to totally hear inhibits misconceptions, situations, problems, concerns, and harm sensations. It could possibly reduce throw away, burning and injure. There are certainly fifteen skills which you could use simply and at this time to become greater listener.
Method 1: Evaluate the Lecturer making Eye-to-eye Contact
It includes transpired to almost everyone at some time. A teen is going his/her vision and seeking virtually any place but at his/her parent or guardian although that dad or mom essaytyper is intending to describe or fix; a co-personnel, supervisor, or manager is centered on another thing when you are conversing with them; a companion or significant other will not research from his/her personal computer computer screen when you are making a position or have some insight. Consider how well you believed? Mad? Annoyed? Reduced? Pointless? Don't make it possible for an individual discussing with best paper writing service you sense this way. Whether or not the loudspeaker doesn't look you in your eyeball (occasionally that loudspeaker can be bashful or self-conscious) you make sure you look into that individual, end what you're executing, and gives that loudspeaker your maximum recognition. It but not only programs the lecturer that s/they have appeal for your needs, however it guarantees that you are currently specific and able to definitely see what is actually simply being mentioned.
Practice 2: Remain Focused though not Inflexible
To actually be mindful, you ought to be psychologically gift, that could be, you are unable to be considering other pursuits, daydreaming, or helping other matters, complications or track record hobby/noises distract you. On your attentiveness, don't take a seat or stay rigidly and gaze. This is the discussion, as well as presenter will sense more at ease if you happen to offer a reasonably comfortable persona.
System 3: Enjoy individuals Prejudices, Biases and Judgements
Once we have good thoughts and opinions or ideas and a person is talking with us from some other situation, you can easily markdown precisely what is staying reported with your feelings as, He or she is mistaken with that, or I don't totally agree in the least, or Which is a foolish shift. You may be no fine listener whenever you criticize or decide Andndash; you actually are working with a chat on your own not together with the loudspeaker.
From the similar expression, don't start and attempt to conclude the speaker's considered Andndash; coming over to a conclusion in advance conveys the presenter which you have no affinity for what s/he needs to provide. And you could not know the spot that the lecturer is going custom paper writing service whatsoever should you this Andndash; you might be only pursuing where by your educate of assumed it consuming you. That is a complicated addiction to interrupt, yet if you keep on to get this done, speaker systems will avoid attempting to connect with you physically. They may just give back electronic mails and text messages as a substitute.
Solution 4: End Preparation What You intend to Say Following
One of the greatest flaws you may earn, particularly when writemypapers a connection consists of a conversation, warmed up or maybe not, that either loudspeaker and listener have factors for making and wish their elements to become listened to. They don't wish to ignore them. So, since they are meant to be paying attention, preferably, they may be organizing of their heads what they have to will certainly say upcoming. No significant debate can take place with these conditions.
Strategy 5: Don't Disrupt Andndash; ever previously.
As you disrupt, the presenter drops his/her exercise of imagined. Too, it transmits a transmission that what s/he needs to say is simply not valuable plenty of for one to take note right through. This really is a very prevalent incidence on television right away, and youngsters get older imagining it is perfectly normal and good. It's not. Disturbing transmits these particular emails on the presenter:
- You will be not as vital as me
- My emotions and phrases are certainly more necessary than your own property Andndash; they can be significantly better, suitable, and many more purposeful
- This really is a competitors i am seeking to succeed
You could be a lot more nimble thinker and loudspeaker. You will be paying attention to a person who is just not. It is advisable to reduce and enable that lecturer to make his/her opinions and become individuals opinions out.
Solution 6: Don't start along with your paper writing service choices.
At times, men and women only need to verbalize troubles and matters, given it will help consider them by and produce treatments. Except if you are requested your methods, don't supply to them. If you find yourself requested or if you feel there is a amazing treatment, put it off. Find out the presenter out initially. May very well not have any viewpoint of your concern or condition till its perfectly described.
System 7: Sit back and watch how when you may ask issues.
It's a very good thing to inquire about problems. It indicates the lecturer you are being attentive and you also as well desire clarification website that write papers or higher information and facts. But take care not to disrupt the speaker's prepare of imagined by contemplating them proper in the midst of the conversing. Await a rest or maybe a pause. Then as to help them to perform or make clear. And, the moment which has been executed, returning that which was explained within your thoughts and check out affirmation that you just read a person appropriately.
Don't make inquiries which gets the presenter off of observe. This is definitely something arises so frequently. A buddy is satisfying you in on your new cafe they have discovered and is also outlining the best foods and natural environment. Suddenly you may ask if they have gone to an additional new eatery you know about. Instantaneously, the interaction have been switched, and this has not much regarding an original motive of your loudspeaker.
Approach 8: Apply Sympathy
Sympathy is being able to place yourself in an individual else's boots and shoes Andndash; to recognise his/her bliss, annoyance, depression, doubts or anything else. You could possibly be unable to muster up those people equivalent sentiments (e.g., perhaps it is challenging if you want to enjoy the exact same concern if you happen to don't have it), but you will need to dignify that person's emotions and thoughts on the replies which you have. Although that individual is conversing, attempt to express your sympathy with no-spoken cues Andndash; face expression, nodding your face, and many others.

TQTJ Talks to Harlan Ellison (Part II of III)
In this installment of our Tough Questions for Tough Jews series, author Clifford Meth interviews fellow tough Yid and award-winning author Harlan Ellison. This is Part II of III -- stay tuned for Part III tomorrow.
METH: You talked about Avram Davidson with great affection. He was a tough Jew.
ELLISON: Yeah, Avram was a very tough Jew. He was also frequently as crazy as a Jewish bedbug.
METH: Tell me again, that story you told me once, about what happened with you two in New York City.
ELLISON: Well, Avram had been in the Israeli Merchant Marines and he'd been all over the world. But Avram, when I knew him, was a pudgy, little Jewish guy wearing a yarmulke who used to walk down from the Upper West Side with rye bread for me when I was living in the Village. And one time we decided to travel together to a science-fiction convention in Philadelphia, and I was going to drive. I had an Austin Healey—an open-air little convertible, nifty set of wheels, very sexy, gun-metal blue, with a louvered bonnet. And, as always, I was going to take my typewriter with me. (suddenly starts to laugh) So I told you this story?
METH: Yeah, you told me once upon a time; so tell me again.
ELLISON: (laughs hysterically) It's the G-d's truth! Avram came up to my apartment. I was living down in the Village at 95 Christopher Street, right at the corner of Bleeker, and I had packed my bag, but I had my typewriter out. I used an office manual in my apartment, but I had my portable way up on the top shelf of a clothes closet and I had to get up on a little stepladder to pull it down. Avram was behind me and he was catching these things that I was throwing down for the car—he's standing behind me and he's catching them. I didn't quite turn around—I just assumed he would grab it because I was turned awkwardly on the top step of this short ladder, so I held the typewriter out for him and it clearly said "Olympia" and that's a German-made typewriter (laughs so hard he can barely continue). And as I let go of it, I heard Crash! I turn around and the thing has fallen on the floor and smashed open. I said, "What the fuck was that all about?" He says, "It's German." He wouldn't touch a German typewriter. He wouldn't even touch it!
Avram would not allow his stuff to be printed in Germany. He would not sign a contract with a German publishing company. Avram knew that… You know that great quote from Owen Miller, the poet? "Of all liars, memory is the sweetest." Avram knew that as time passed, schmucks like that neo-Nazi who shot the 10 people in Minnesota recently would resurface and the lies would start being told again—the Holocaust deniers and all of that. Avram understood that, and he held a grudge almost as well as I do. Anybody who wants to see how tough I am should read the piece I wrote called "Driving in the Spikes," which is in The Essential Ellison. It's an essay on revenge. I'm still working on grudges from 1962.
METH: That's why I love you.
ELLISON: Look, Clifford you know this to be an absolute. I mean you can attest to this personally. As good a friend as I am—and I am loyal to the death—a guy who treated me well last year when I went to lecture in Phoenix had a little traffic accident; he got hit by a guy and I was in the car as he was taking me to my lecture. I said, "Fight it and I'll come back and I'll testify." He said, "You'll come back from L.A. to testify?" I flew back to Arizona at my own expense to go to traffic court with him. But as loyal a friend as I am, that's how implacable an enemy I am.
Most sins against me are so minor and stupid, I can ignore them, and I do ignore them. I just cut that person out of the world. But every once in a while, something will happen where somebody evokes the kind of anger that I would feel as a Jewish kid in Painesville, in the school yard when they beat me up. You know the story that I tell. This is not long after the Depression, and we were not very wealthy. I mean we weren't destitute by any means; my Dad worked and had a job, but it was very, very hard times. And one winter they ganged up on me and beat me up and tore my clothes off. I was buck-naked. If you've ever known an Ohio winter, they are terrible. The only place worse is Chicago. But I was so ashamed that my clothes had been torn off and that they were ripped, because my mother was very fastidious and very conscientious that because we were Jews, my clothes were always clean and never patched. You know, you had to look like a mensch. And I was so ashamed and so chagrined to go home and show my mother the torn tatters of clothes that I was clutching, that I hid in the snow in the bushes for about four hours, until it was dark and they came and they found me. Blue. I was fuckin' blue. Hypothermia. Pneumonia.
METH: I know Beckwith (see Part I of this interview) shows up as a character in "City on the Edge of Forever," but whatever happened to Wheeldon?
ELLISON: Wheeldon died. Wheeldon shows up in my story "Final Shtick"—that's me going back to my hometown. It's a Lenny Bruce character, but it's actually me. And the town is Lanesville... Wheeldon is dead. He wound up as a used car salesman; he was a milkman for a while, then he was used car salesman, and then he died. If you look at The Essential Ellison, you'll see that photograph of me and my 3rd or 4th grade class and I'm smaller than everybody. I'm smaller than the smallest little girl. And we're standing in rows on the steps of the school, Lathrop Grade School; and if you let your eyes track up to the top row, where the tallest kids stand, almost directly behind me is Jack Wheeldon, you can see him. It's in the caption—there's all the information there.
METH: I remember that picture of you smiling.
ELLISON: Actually, I'm not in fact smiling—it's really very strange. Every kid either stands with hands at sides, or with hands clasped in front of them, little Dutch girl style. At the end is this little pugnacious-looking kid with his hands on his hips, leaning forward, wearing a Captain Midnight Secret Decoder badge, and a bandage on his face from some brawl. He looks like an escapee from The Newsboy Legion or one of the other kid gangs Jack Kirby used to draw. He's looking right into the camera and his lips are skinned back like a feral animal. And it's me. It is not a smile. There I am at age what? Nine? Ten? And I'm already a tough Jew.
METH: The story that I recall about you and Avram Davidson had the two of you facing off against a bunch of guys down in the Village—
ELLISON: That's in print. It's in Partners in Wonder and it's the introduction to the story that Avram and I did called "Up Christopher to Madness." Avram tells the true story about how I stood off an entire gang of Italian street kids.
METH: It wasn't a Jewish thing?
ELLISON: Nah, it had nothing to do with being Jewish. It had to do with they came on broyges with us, you know—"on the muscle"—trying to give me a hard time, or they were bothering Avram, or whatever the hell it was, and I went after 'em. And I drove off the whole goddam gang. There must have been 12 or 13 of them.

1. The prompt for Five Minute Friday today is loyal:
Loyalty is something that I look for in a friend. I'm sure you do too. If a person who you might want as a friend isn't loyal, then why pursue that friendship.
Loyalty is a super important quality to possess. Proverbs 21:21 says, "He who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life, righteousness, and honor."
God shows us exactly what loyalty is. He is the definition of loyalty. Deuteronomy 7:9 says, "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments."
Talking about loyalty today has reminded me to remember to be loyal to God, my family, and my friends.
2. Friday, I had a few errands to run and I wanted to wear something comfy but also cute, so I wore this:
3. On Saturday, my sisters and I went on a shopping trip. Let's just say that I spent a little more than I wanted to, but you got to live a little, right?! Here's what I bought:
4. Monday started Lilly Pulitzer's two day After Party Sale! I wasn't going to get anything, but I checked the website anyway just in case there was something that I loved for a great price. It just so happens there was! I ordered the Essie Sleeveless Top in Pink Pout Shellebrate for only $24!
5. The other day, I ordered Jennifer Dukes Lee's new book The Happiness Dare, and some marble contact paper to create a photo backdrop (coming to the blog soon!), and maybe even put some on top of my vanity just like Tif did to her desk.
Instagram Story
This week, I published two posts!

Forecast-Sunshine with Cold Winds
January 13, 2012
In the winter season sunny days seldom come along in rl but here in our pixel world they are easy to come by. So when the snow is falling outside my rl window it is great to escape and enjoy the sunshine on the grid. For my day in the sun I'm wearing one of Mon Tissu's mesh pencil skirts. Beautiful textures and lots ! of colors available. The grey top is also Mon Tissu —I love that it is long and you can wear it outside your skirt…it even has its own little belt. The top is really versatile and a little boho, it looks great on its own with just a pair of tights or jeans. The coat is a two-tiered, almost-military style from Lelutka …. I love the way it hangs open and looks so natural. The bag from LaGyo is really one of my favs this year, it adds lots of style with its huge size and great crocodile texture. It comes with a nice pose or two which is important for handbags unless you have an AO that can accommodate the bag-holding without the handbag ending up inside your body or over your head. Can't stop without mentioning the hair from vive9…LOVE the wrap style (very chic) and the little wisps of hair escaping from the wrap. I absolutely ❤ the lace-up boots from JySyLilO. A great heel and the laces and zippers add an edgy quality. More details and landmarks after the cut. Now get out in the sunshine, even if it is pixel sunshine.
See ya, Elisabeth
Things that Go Sparkle in the Night
January 7, 2012
In the darkest of nights the jewelry with the most sparkle is the way to go…even with jeans these fabulous sparklies look great. I usually buy things in sl that I would want in rl if it were possible and for sure…these I would want! Ditto for the boots, I absolutely love these! The Lu sisters have outdone themselves once again. The long sweater is from TokiD, it hangs beautifully and comes in a myriad of wonderful colors. By the way you will notice that the last picture has a different color lipstick. I put that in because I love the way just a tattoo layer can change the skin so much. Pididdle has some great lipsticks in wonderful unusual colors that work well with most skins so…. go have a look. I actually started this look with the great hair from Tram. You gotta love the bobby pins and the chic little bob. And of course the purse…mesh from Leverocci…pure beauty.
See ya,Elisabeth
Faux, Faux, Foxy
January 5, 2012
I adore Anya Ohmai's darling little "fox" stole. And yes…it is faux fur (and of course it is faux, faux fur being pixels and all). She has done an amazing job with this piece….and I love the retro-ness of it. I am wearing it with some fabulous mesh items from Celoe. These pants are just wonderful. Love the shape, the texture, the shading and since they are mesh is is so cool to be able to sit in them and they actually still look like pants! The jacket is also Celoe…once again great technical work with the shape and artistic work with the textures and if either of these were available in rl I would be adding them to my closet. The travel bag is from Mon Tissue—shown here in camel but it comes in other super fun colors so you can always travel in style. The off-white handbag is from Orta. I added some favorite "oldies" to the mix including Dango's beret by Azure Electricteeth, the fun Fly Earrings by Polyester Partridge, Paper Couture's huge Moon Ring and LaGyo's gorgeous bracelets.
It's been a long time…
December 27, 2011
Wow…time really does fly…I can't believe how long it has been since my last post! A really, really long time. What happened? Well lots of things have been going on in my RL including a very, very busy work schedule, a lot of travel and a computer that was not getting along with SL. I have popped into SL but not been able to spend much time there. Mostly lag and problems with viewers made it next to impossible to take pictures. Finally, with the new SL Beta viewer and some updates on my computer, things seem to be better. (Fingers crossed.) I have a new blog office inworld but I had to give up my wonderful mountain chalet when the winter sim where I had lived for 2 years closed down. So for now anyway my home is my office! I am amazed at the work being done on the grid right now. I love the mesh items and in addition to long-time favorite designers there are so many new and talented people adding their creativity to the mix.
So just to say "hi" here I am in my office. I took these pictures a while back so I am wearing a couple of favorite older pieces here. The Lelutka jacket is not at all new but still a wonderful, wonderful piece. The long stole is actually a piece from Mr. Poet that is part of a coat set but I love the way it drapes over the shoulder and it is just the right color for the grey jacket. (The oversize turtleneck is from the same outfit and I love it because of the way it can come up and cover the bottom part of the face.) The softly pleated skirt is from mon tissu and like everything those girls do it is beautiful in design, construction and texture. The gloves are from Marni Grut at Royal Blue and come in many wonderful colors. I am a big fan of gloves in SL and these are great..you will want the fatpack. So see you soon and for details on what I am wearing see below!
Leaving on a Jet Plane
October 18, 2010
The perfect travel outfit…comfortable, travel-worthy but still sexy. Coco's Mods Coat is wrinkle-proof, water-proof and still stylish…the leopard lining gives it that little extra something. I couldn't believe it but I found these tights that were a perfect match in my inventory. They are from Love Me and come in several different animal prints. Love me makes really cute tights so if you haven't been there, go! The travel bag is from Truth. I love the size (big enough to stuff in a week-end's worth) and I love the metal studs on the sides. The fabulous necklace and earrings are new from LaGyo (<3 Gyorgyna). Her whole new collection is really something, I know I will be wearing a lot of it! And she has a great big new store, don't miss it. The top is Lelutka and as always the quality of the textures are beautiful, the little flounce at the bottom is great. I'm wearing my favorite "French Roll" updo in Sl….Siri by Maitreya, perfect for always looking chic. The new glasses are from Vintage McMillan at epoque. (Don't they make me look smarter?) More detail and landmarks after the cut. Click on any photo to see a higher-resolution image. Read the rest of this entry »
First Snow
October 11, 2010
I smell winter coming. Even in the virtual world, furry hats and boots and warm coats are starting to appear. Leluka had some new releases this week and I fell truly, madly, deeply in love with this lumberjack coat. The bell shape that swirls out, the strong plaid fabric and the huge fur collar make it a real winner. I had just bought the fur hat from tram which happens to be a perfect match. The hat comes with and without (as worn here) a bow that ties under your neck. The boots are from DPYumYum. They have been in my closet for a year but..Wow..I think they are the same plaid. \o/ The hair is from BarberYumyum (modded to fit under the hat) and is new. I love the way some of the prim bits in this hair move when you turn your head…so pretty! The necklace is from Yummy. I have so many of Polyester Partridge's creations..all of them are so cute…this one is a bunch of charms on a gold chain. ❤ (I think I would buy them just because I love her name.) The skinny wrap belt is an old favorite from Shiny Things. It has a little pouch on it for your virtual money. More details and landmarks after the cut. Click on any photo for a more detailed, hi-res version. Keep warm! Brrrrrrr, Elisabeth Read the rest of this entry »
Ruffles and Bows
October 7, 2010
I love the new ruffled boleros by G. Fields. She has a free version (in pumpkin color) at her store..I liked it so much I trotted right down to buy the fatpack. It is shown here with long sleeves but it also comes in a mid-sleeve and cap-sleeve version (also with ruffles) and you can wear it with or without the ruffled collar which makes it really versatile. A great staple for any closet.
The other new item here is the super cute short dress (worn as a top) from SK Designs.The package comes with two different patterns, both for only 150 lindens (what a bargain). All this is layered over a blouse from Zaara.
And accessories are important here..I tried to pile as many on as possible. 😀 The asymmetrical hat is from Coco and the big bow scarf from Miel. It is great…comes with changeable color textures and built-in resizing script. Also..I want to thank say a big thanks to Sasy Scarborough for her help while I was working on this post….she let me use her pose stands and fixed mine that I somehow had broken. So thanks Sasy…big hugs. Read more details and landmarks listed after the cut!

These Chinese power grid workers don't seem too fazed by the dizzying heights of the world's tallest pylons. The men are required to work at a height of 885ft (270 metres - 90-storeys) as they install a crossing tower for a new line of ultra high voltage cable stretching from Anhui province to Shanghai - a distance of 268 miles.
The tower is just one of 1,421 starting west from Huainan. The men have until the end of 2013 to finish the ambitious project.
The workers are strapped into safety harnesses but use flimsy rope ladders to go up and down the pylons. More than 500billion KWH of electricity per year will travel along the cables.

some things have happened in the last couple of days that have reminded me of how powerful our words are. there is a proverb in the bible that says that the tongue has the power of life and death. i don't care what your beliefs are or what your religious background is, you can't deny that these words are true. the words that come out of our mouths have power. they can build someone up or destroy them. the old verse about sticks and stones breaking our bones but words never hurting us, well, that's just plain wrong.
how many things do you remember from your past? how often were those centered around what someone said? can you remember specific things that were spoken to you or over you? are you still trying to prove someone's words wrong through your actions each day? did someone's words crush hopes of yours or inspire new dreams? it is all possible and we don't give the words we say enough credit.
what have we spoken over people today? what have we said to our kids? what are we saying to our spouses? are we speaking life or death into the lives of those we love and care about? i know that the day is young but i've already made some mistakes and missed some opportunities. what about you? what a difference we could make if we all took this more seriously.

Wishes are Signed, Sealed, Delivered with Sincerely Santa
Local firefighters and law enforcement officers joined forces to surprise students at DeSoto Elementary School with a parade to kick off a month-long effort by the first responders to support the Sincerely Santa program.
On Nov. 30, Santa arrived on a fire engine, flanked by first responders and their vehicles from seven agencies. Participating departments included: Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Tampa Fire Rescue, Tampa Police, Temple Terrace Police, Temple Terrace Fire, and Florida Highway Patrol.
After the parade, Santa and Mrs. Claus sat among kindergartners for a reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, followed by gifts of books for the children to take home.
The book the children received was Oh, The Places You'll Go! by Dr. Suess. Upon opening their first gifts of the holiday season, the children smiled and laughed with excitement. As is tradition for DeSoto Elementary students, they were instructed to bring these same books back for a ceremony on their last day of fifth grade.
The nonprofit Sincerely Santa organization began in 1987, and the program grows each year. Hillsborough County Public Schools select the schools and children for the program. Sincerely Santa collects the donations, and local first responders help make the program work. Together, they've provided such necessities as food, clothing, and eyeglasses for more than 100,000 at-risk children in Hillsborough County.

As the US government faces its first day of furloughs, many government workers are facing their first day off without pay. GreenPath Debt Solutions reminds furloughed employees that they need to have a plan in place, when it comes to their personal finances.
Here are some steps:
1. Set Up a Budget – Many people think if they have money in their account at the end of the month, they are doing okay. "While this may work in some cases, individuals who may see a drastic cut in their income will need to prepare ahead to make sure their expenses are covered," said David Flores, GreenPath counselor.
A simple way to build a budget is list all income. Then, list all your major expenses (mortgage, car payment, insurance premiums and utilities, etc.) and subtract from your net income. From there, track other expenses, like groceries, gasoline and credit cards.
2. Maintain Your Budget – "Years ago, we taught our clients to place cash each month in an envelope system, for a certain expense," said Flores.
"Nowadays, we teach the envelope system as a budgeting concept with the idea that you only spend what has been allotted, and once it's gone, you stop spending."
Try to maintain each monthly allotment without borrowing from other "envelopes."
3. Track your Expenses – Tracking expenses is a key aspect of maintaining the budget that you have created. If you do not track your expenses, there is no way of knowing whether you are staying within the budget you have established. "The most basic tracking method involves writing down all of your expenses in a notebook every day," said Flores. "Another tracking technique involves saving receipts for purchases and documenting that information in a notebook or on your computer."
4. Have the Talk – Communication is key when it comes to personal finance. Flores said that individuals should sit down today with their spouse and family and have an honest discussion about money. "People have misconceptions about how they should use money in a household," he said. "Some view money as something they should spend freely each month, while someone else looks at money as something that needs to be saved."
Furloughed employees need to talk about what steps they will take today, in case the government shut-down goes on for an extended amount of time.
5. Ask for Help – GreenPath Debt Solutions offers free debt counseling and coaching sessions, in-person, over the phone or Internet, with no obligation. "We work with thousands of people each year in helping them build a budget and a work plan to prepare for the future," said Flores.

Pain in the neck and in the upper back are related to weakness in the same areas.
Often pain that is perceived in the mid back, between the shoulder blades, comes from weakness in the upper back muscles, due to being overstretched for long periods at a time ( sitting/driving/ desk work).These same muscles can create headaches.
Neck pain and weakness in the neck muscles can create head aches, neck pain and pain between the shoulder blade also.
- By strengthening the neck muscles,
- stretching the pectoral muscles and
- strengthening the upper back
you will decrease your upper back and neck pain, and even sometimes headaches.
1- Strengthen your neck with isometric contractions. With a theraband this is easy to acheive ( tie a knott in one side and close the knot in a door, to have as an anchor)
Then as you see on this picture, place the other end around your head and take a step A- forward ( 20x), rotate the theraband on your head a quarder turn then B- take a step side ways to the door (20x), quarder turn step then C- step backwards quarder turn step then D- away on the other side, this way you will strengthen you neck on its 4 quadrants.
You can also perform these exersises in a seated position using your arms from a bent to straight possition to increase the tension:
If you do not have a theraband you can use your hands on your head as reststance (as per the first picture).
As we know the body never works alone to get even greater rewards you might want to read pectoralis-stretch blog and the how-release-your-shoulders too.
Prevent. Perform. Recover.

Manufacturing and construction sectors account largest share of global GDP and employment. Growth across both industries was declining for last decade owing to global economic recession; however, now growth has started to recuperate due to improvement in economy across developed and emerging countries. Broadly, manufacturing is involved in most of the major sectors like engineering, construction, metalworking, electronics, energy, textile, chemical, food and beverage, plastic, transport and telecommunication, among others.
Whereas, construction refers to process of building residential and commercial complexes, industry plants and government infrastructure. Geographically, emerging markets controls more than half of the market share of construction sector with China and India contributing primarily to the growth. In the near term, Middle East and Africa are expected to overtake Asia Pacific region owing to investments in infrastructure and building sectors picking up in countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Manufacturers are adopting various technologies to improve production processes and compete in the market. Emerging technologies in the manufacturing sector include 3D printing, Internet of Things (IoT), nanotechnology, robotics and cloud computing. 3D printing or additive manufacturing uses 3D designs to build components by deposition of various materials. Additive manufacturing enhances quality and reduces overall cost and lead time of manufacturing components. In addition, use of atomically precise manufacturing (APM), an advanced level of nanotechnology, in manufacturing is expected to change the overall dynamics of the manufacturing industry.
Various big manufacturing companies operating in developed markets are shifting their manufacturing or machining centres in Asia Pacific countries like China, India and Thailand. Consequently, Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the global manufacturing market.
Environmental concerns, shortage of skilled workers and stringent regulations & compliance are some of the challenges faced by the manufacturing industry.
ASDReport.com provides an extensive collection of reports on manufacturing and construction sector. The reports cover various sub-sectors of manufacturing sector like automation components, industrial components, construction equipment, machines & parts, metals, abrasives, special material, buildings & improvement and much more.

Question: Find minimum and maximum in an unsorted array in minimum number of comparisons.
Answer: We can easily find minimum and maximum in single iteration though the input array making 2 comparisons at every step. This will have 2n comparisons and time complexity O(n). Sounds Good?
Yes it does sound good but not as question says "minimum number of comparisons" not time complexity. We will see if we can reduce the number of comparisons.
If we pick 2 elements at a time 1) compare the larger element with max find till now, 2) compare the smaller elements with min find till now and 3) update accordingly, we will be able to mark maximum and in minimum element in 3 comparison for every pair. It means that for an n element array, total number of comparison will be 3n/2.
Number of comparisons:
3n/2 (If input length is Even)
3(n-1)/2 (If input length is Odd)
void FindMinMax(int input[], int len)
int min, max;
int i, no_of_comp;
i = no_of_comp = 0;
min = INT_MAX; /* Initialize with INT_MAX */
max = INT_MIN; /* Initialize with INT_MIN */
/* If no of elements in input are odd,
initialize max and min with first element. */
if (len%2){
min = max = input[0];
/* In the while loop, pick elements in pair and
compare the pair with max and min so far */
while(i < len-1)
if(input[i] > input[i+1])
if(input[i] > max)
max = input[i];
if(input[i+1] < min)
min = input[i+1];
if(input[i+1] > max)
max = input[i+1];
if(input[i] < min)
min = input[i];
/* Increase by 2 as 2 elements are processed every time */
i += 2;
/* Increase comparison by 3 coz in every iteration of loop,
3 comparison are made. */
no_of_comp += 3;
cout << "min = " << min << ", max = " << max << \
", Number of comparisons = " << no_of_comp << endl;
Complexity: O(n)
Number of comparisons:
3n/2 (If input length is Even)
3(n-1)/2 (If input length is Odd)

I used RevaHealth to find a dentist in Tijuana, Mexico. We chose Dr. Sergio Penunuri based on the positive reviews. My wife had a mouthful of crowns, bridges, and implants. It worked out horribly, as virtually nothing fit right. Severe headaches, food impaction from poor fit, and half of the crowns fell out within a few months. We stressed that we would take the time to do a proper job. Didn't want any one day procedures if medically unsound. He went ahead and installed an implant crooked because the bone had not sufficiently healed. If he talked to us, we would have opted to wait for an additional trip, instead. He did honor his warranty, but what do you suppose a warranty is worth if the practitioner (or more likely in this case, dental lab) is an imbecile?
Time to fix it. Someone suggested trying Los Algodones, Mexico (near Yuma, AZ), instead, as it's far more likely that we will return with our heads still attached to the rest of our bodies. I came across Whatclinic.com as a source of Los Algodones dentist reviews. Here is what I found out after doing a lot of research.
Revahealth.com was junked by Caelen King of Global Medical Treatment. If you navigate to www.revahealth.com, you end up at Whatclinic.com. Inspection of the whois records at networksolutions.com confirm that the same organization owns these two websites.
At Whatclinic.com, go to "Add Your Clinic" in the upper right corner. It opens a page where doctors can sign up. Near the big yellow "Sign Up" button, select "Terms and Conditions". There, you will clearly find that Whatclinic.com is frequently paid by the doctors for listings under a number of schemes, though it does indicate there is some form of free account.
Now, the scam. Select any doctor, and attempt to make a review on that doctor. Try "Review This Clinic" towards the bottom of the page. On the subsequent page where you can fill in the review, there's a button all the way on the bottom of the review named "Review Policy". Click that.
The Whatclinic.com review policy clearly states that they are not a review site. All patient reviews are submitted to the clinic, and the review is only published if the clinic approves the review. It also stipulates that aggregate consumer ratings only include those ratings that meet their guidelines. Patients are forbidden from making a defamatory review, and no reports of criminal activity are permitted.
The review policy states that if the clinic refuses to allow a patient review to be published, then that will be disclosed on the clinic's review page. OK, there are complaints at the Ripoff Report that Whatclinic.com refused to publish their negative review of Doctor Alberto Coto Calvo of San Juan, Costa Rica. Well, his review page is here: http://www.whatclinic.com/dentists/costa-rica/san-jose/implant-cosmetic-solutions and you're a better person than I if you can spot where Whatclinic.com made the disclosure they promised in their policy.
My opinion time. There are a lot of marketing websites scattered all across the web that are no more than hype for services. They are paid by subscribers (doctors in this case) to make the advertisements appear like objective consumer ratings. Throwing out the reviews you don't like is far from objective. In my opinion, I consider words like lies, fraud, misrepresentation, scam, illegitimate, and don't use if you care about your health to be far more accurate. Don't use Whatclinic.com as a source for choosing a dentist.

Over the years I've used lots of different methods for banning blue links. As with every method I use in email development, they gradually get simpler and better as time goes by.
Never has that been truer than about fixing the issue when dates, addresses and phone numbers are automatically linked on iPads and iPhones but they are styled with a default blue underline that looks terrible in anything except a personal text-only email.
Fixing this used to involve wrapping things in spans or adding classes, but that is annoying and also not helpful when you're coding a reusable template since the added text will routinely include numbers, addresses and dates.
These days, I fix this by targeting the
x-apple-data-detectors property that is added to these automatic links and setting them to simply inherit the styles around them.
a[x-apple-data-detectors=true] {
color: inherit !important;
text-decoration: inherit !important;
And that's it. If there are any other properties you want them to inherit, just go ahead and add them.
Au revoir, blue links!
I came across this trick viewing a source on an email a while ago, so I'm not entirely sure who I can credit for it, but there is more on the method here and here.

Pork Chops Prize WinnerFrom oldinjun 7 years ago
- Rob's Prize winning pork chops (Southern Classic) shopping list
- This recipe serves four people shopping list
- 4 1-inch thick pork chops, bone-in shopping list
- 2 large sweet onions, Vidalia preferred, sliced very thin shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic shopping list
- 1 cup heavy cream shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
- 4 medium baking potatoes shopping list
- Package of greens, spinach or green veggie of your choice. shopping list
How to make it
- Trim off a few slivers of fat from the chops, leaving the rest on. Put the slivers in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chops and render over low heat until they give up a little fat. Remove the slivers and discard. Add a little oil if needed.
- Brown the chops on both sides.
- Turn the heat to very low, and then smother the chops with the sliced onion and garlic. You can't have too much onion. Add salt and pepper and now, PAY ATTENTION!
- Cover the skillet and cook for two hours. Yes, I said two hours. DO NOT PEEK! DO NOT OPEN THE COVER!
- About one hour before serving time start thinking about peeling the potatoes and getting them ready to mash. Ditto with the green vegetable.
- After the two hours has elapsed, uncover the chops and remove them to a warm 200 degree oven.
- Turn the heat up to medium, pour in the cream and reduce the mixture until it has a sauce-like consistency. Don't make it too thick.
- Place a chop on each plate along with a healthy serving of mashed potatoes. Spoon the onion mixture over the meat and potatoes and serve the greens on the side, maybe with a little pepper vinegar splashed on them.

We are pioneers. The world is constantly getting smaller, and with every passing day it becomes cheaper and easier to travel from place to place without much hinderance or frustration. Europeans can now pass freely into any EU nation as though they were citizens of the country they are visiting, America has an open visa allowing many countries that are part of the EU and several others to spend up to half a year in the country just by getting online and requesting a form, and we can hop on a plane and arrive in almost any country across the planet with an easily acquired international visa. Every element of our rapidly shrinking world has pushed us towards a global-culture of cross-national-blending.
As Third Culture Kids, ones that spent the past 20+ years of our lives traveling the world and coming to the sudden realization of just how impacting our development has been, we are in the unique position to be the leaders of an era. There are hundreds of thousands of us on this Earth, TCKs scattered absolutely everywhere. Many of them are young, being developed right now as you read these words, because of the massive push for companies to be more globalized. Families are moving everywhere, taking their children with them and creating a wave of TCKs that is so massive and so powerful that the influx of upcoming TCKs is starting to look like the wave of Baby Boomers that flooded the world after the Second World War.
This wave puts every single one of us in a unique position, one that we should be extremely proud to be a part of. Being a TCK is hard. It's complicated and confusing, it makes growing up in this world strange and almost surreal. At the same time, it's rewarding, exciting, and beautiful. We get to see the world unlike any other culture, through a lens that doesn't see race or creed or social structure. We see people, in their entirety, on a level that no one else can imagine. And though we may have grown and developed in a way that stole our home, our heritage, or ability to sit still, and our need to have permanent and long-lasting relationships, we were given the gift of being able to shape the world.
Our gifts make us the pioneers of this generation. Companies are pushing to globalize, to find ways to blend their products and services into locations that are completely foreign to where they've been operating before. To any First Culture Kid, the ability to view the details of that new culture are extremely difficult, if not impossible. To TCKs like us, it's just a natural ability, one that we can use to guide, to give advice, to assist in development, to mix with the public, and to learn how to push a company's public image.
But what's really important, what really brings everything together, is our ability to help the massive influx of TCKs that are being created right now. One day, these TCKs are going to grow up and enter into the world just like us. They are going to leave their respective international schools, travel somewhere different, and lose that sense of belonging from wherever it was that they lived. They are going to be just like us, wandering the surface of the world looking for something meaningful and world-altering to do. They are going to seek meaning in using their TCK upbringing by using their cross-cultural blending to change the world.
But they don't have to do any of it alone. Unlike us, who entered into our TCK life without the power of the internet that exists today, these TCKs can hear from people just like them about how beautiful growing up a TCK can be. And that gift of helping all those new TCKs is just one of the many things that makes our lives so beautiful. After all:
We are pioneers.

Synopsis for Teen Titans: "The Return of the Teen Titans"
The Flips are a new teenage rock 'n' roll trio that has taken the country by storm, each with their very own gimmick: Jack with his tricked out motorcycle, Joe with his special surfboard, and Jill with her baton. They have generated a legion of fans, including the individual members of the Teen Titans. The teenagers of the town of Clarkston are excited about a coming Flips show, however the anticipation for the show is marred when the Flips apparently robs a jewelry store that night after a gig in another town. In spite of police intervention, the Flips appear to get away with the crime.
Later, the Flips are brought to the police station where they deny that they had anything to do with the robbery. When they explain where they were, the Flips tell how their driver went a strange way to their hotel, however when the Flips questioned the driver about it he suddenly got out of the car and ran off into the woods, naturally the police pan the story and they are put on bail.
The kids of Clarkstown are upset when the mayor decides that he doesn't want criminals to be performing in their town, even if the concert is to benefit an underprivileged teenager's college tuition. Feeling that the Flips were framed, the kids contact the Teen Titans to investigate. The Titans meet with the mayor of Clarkstown and promise that while the Flips are in town playing they will insure that no crime happen. In spite of their best efforts to prevent the Flips from leaving their hotel room and keeping them away from their gimmicked props, it appears as though the Flips some how break free and steal back their devices and use them to cause havoc across town.
The Teen Titans fail to stop the Flips from robbing a bank, however they still give them chase across town. Each time they are about to catch a member of the Flips, the Titans are tripped up. Finally, they manage to knock out Jack and Jill however Joe manages to escape with the loot. Wonder Girl finds the unconscious Jack and Jill and unmasks them revealing that they truly are the members of the Flips, and not impostors. Taking them to the Clarkson police station, the two Flip members revive and have no memory of what happened, shortly after Joe arrives equally unable to remember what happened. The furious mayor however, orders the concert cancelled and the Flips to be arrested. The Flips plea the Teen Titans to help clear their names.
After some consideration, it suddenly revealed that "new evidence" has been found making the Flips innocent and that they would be putting on a concert. Just before the show, a bunch of impostors arrive in the Flips dressing room to take their places, however when they steal the receipts from the show, they find that their devices have all been tampered with and they are easily defeated by Robin. Robin unmasks them as criminals posing as members of the Flips, and then reveals that the "Flips" they really took prisoner were members of the Titans in disguise, the real Flips were really in a jail cell, proving their innocence.
With the crooks defeated, the Flips put on their show and both they and the Titans are praised by the teenagers of Clarkstown.

Coimaedai found himself to be running for his life, naked, through an unfamiliar jungle holding a platinum idol of a Dragonborn, and didn't recall how he got there. He was being chased by a dozen angry natives with spears and blowguns and had a dart in his arm. He was discovered by the rest of his team, and Guunhild, Quetzalkiith and "The Six," a band of halfling slingers, held the natives at bay. Guunhild took the idol that had belonged to her family and the team returned to their ship where Captain Langdon punished them for failing in their mission to trade with the islanders. Coimaedai discovered that he had been captured and drugged, and that was why he had no memory.
Out of desperation, the party traveled to the coastal Pirate town of Khalidor in the Laerduvian Archipelago, looking for work, where they were directed (by a friend of the Captain, Salvana Wrafton of Wrafton's Inn in Winterhaven, Nentir Vale on the mainland) to seek a missing dwarf prospector (Kavalar Coppernight) on Targ Island who had gone in search of a strain of precious ore. The party arrived at the island with no other options for work, and discovered a band of kobolds guarding the entrance to the excavation site. The party jumped the fence and assaulted the kobold force, and nearly lost Coimaedai, but were successful. They are now standing at the brink of a mine shaft with a dirty rope ladder descending into the volcanic stone.

Jeezo I can't believe it has been a month since I last posted....I don't think I have ever gone that long w/o a post since I started blogging. OOPS! Truth be told....I took my quilting thing so far these past 3 years that I just got BURNED OUT. It only took 3 years but after finishing up all my WIPS, gifts, my large "to do" sewing list....I just could not even stomach looking at a quilt blog let alone even blogging about any more quilts....is there such thing as "quilt burnout"? Well if so I had it....started creeping around December....I did not even sign up for any flickr swaps and I used to be one of those flickr members that would be there, online just waiting for the opportunity to be first in line to enter another swap....yet more swap burnout....so along that line I have not sewn a darn thing in quite awhile and I am happy as a clam about it.....because now I have a new obsession.....my house!
This sounds really stupid but after stepping away from my sewing machine and actually spending some time in other rooms in my house....I started thinking about how much I have neglected my home these past few years....so...out with the old in with the new! I also became a wee bit addicted to craigslist! (yeah from one obsession to a completely different one!) We also are right now in the finishing stages of totally gutting the original 31 year old bathroom in our home to everything being replace, repainted...all new...here is a picture of Emily during the demo.
Soon....the before and after pictures, really soon....I might have to start sleeping in this bathroom...it is going to be so nice, so cozy(as cozy as a room with a toilet in it can get) I am just so excited about all this....
One more thing....I sold my Flea Market Fancy quilt in January....got just about what I asked for it so I was thrilled....and now...something else new....see the etsy box on the side of my blog....I am starting to sell some different things that have peaked my interest lately....nothing sewn yet....at least not yet....to be continued.....be back soon!
