Quoting a member's post? Read this...
Moderation has been receiving numerous reports each day on excessive quoting of posts, either a quote of a long post for a brief response to one particular passage or repetitive quotes of immediately preceding posts.
Moderation prior has been editing such postings without comment but, lately, the volume has ramped up and further review of threads finds this to be a rampant problem so I'm adding this announcement to make members aware.
1. If quoting another member use the 'quote' button and trim and/or interquote (use quote/UBB code) content as necessary. Refrain from quoting entire posts, especially long ones.
2. Treat threads as conversations. Members cannot edit posts once responded to. Hence, no need to quote the immediately preceding post if responding to it. Use the member's username to preface a response.
3. If directing a response to the thread starter downthread, either quote their content being responded to or reference them, e.g. 'OP" or 'Thread starter', member's username, etc.
4. Do not, repeat, do not intersperse responses within quoted material. Use our interquote function or UBB code. It's easy to do. Why? Anyone responding to the content quotes both original content and response and has to separate out what they're responding to. That's disrespectful of fellow members time and also makes postings difficult to read.
Consider this a directive pursuant to our policy on formatting and quoting which Paul established in his reminder/sanction area. If anyone would like a tutorial on properly quoting posts we'll be happy to provide one in our Questions and Comments area. Post a thread requesting it. Thanks for reading!

A High-Tech, Theatrical Ride Through Times Square/
Last night I went on The Ride, a brand-new, innovative, mobile, hi-tech interactive theatrical experience that takes place in and around the streets of midtown. I've been hearing about this project since at least 2004 (and was even contacted to consult on its control systems in 2007, which didn't work out), and I'm happy to report that creator Michael Counts' dream is finally an excellent reality. The show is advertised as, "a new entertainment experience that turns the streets of New York into a stage" and for once, this tag line is not hyperbole--this is a show unlike anything I've ever seen (and I mean that as a compliment!).
The Ride experience, a clever pairing of bus tour and interactive theatre, starts when you wade through the tourist throng around the Marriot in Times Square, and board one of four The Ride vehicles, custom-made tour buses where you sit sideways, facing out huge windows the left side of the bus.
The bus takes a circuitous route around midtown, with various performers appearing on the streets. You have two hosts with you on the bus, "Scott":
and "Jackie":
The bus itself, "The Ride", is also a character (and even the bus driver gets in on one funny bit). Here's a quick video to give you an idea of the experience (no spoilers!):
Even before the bus pulls away, a performance (which I won't spoil for you) takes place on the street, blurring the lines between the show and the tourist hyper-reality of Times Square. The performers, with the street as their stage, have to improv quite a bit, and are real troupers, because they did a great job on the show we saw, which took place during a severe-warned thunderstorm (we even had pea-sized hail on the Ride's ceiling windows!).
The Ride very effectively leverages modern entertainment technology to connect the audience with the performers, and they even do a bit of internet magic to truly involve specific audience members in the show in ways that they will likely find surprising. Here's a few performer vignettes to give you an idea of what the experience is like:
And I have a (spoiler) video here that demonstrates the true dedication of the cast.
The view from the bus as we meandered around midtown on a rainy night was pretty spectacular.
Of course, the audience on the bus is also on display to the people in Times Square, and even tourists in the street get in on the act:
The design and tech elements of the show are very well done and very polished, and technician TJ Pallas was the wizard behind the curtain for our ride, running a Q-Lab system and mixing the show on a Yamaha DM-1000.
Under the bus is the control system (sorry for the picture quality--I was dodging taxis to get these shots)
I'm happy that the The Ride finally has become a reality after so many years and multiple false starts. The show is, of course, aimed at a general tourist audience, but it has retained a bit of edginess. Through its very nature, with performers on the public streets, the show embraces the chaos of midtown rather than sanitizing it away, and parts of the show--especially when the bus pirouettes around Columbus Circle--can even be beautiful. Despite the hardships, I bet the performers on this show have a lot of fun, and at least in these early stages of The Ride's existence, the audience experience has clearly been given first priority, and there are a surprising number of people involved (which explains the ticket costs). I definitely recommend seeing it.
Many more pictures here, and for the weather geeks, here's a bit of video of the crazy storm that took place during our Ride last night:

REtechSouth Presentation: Master Jedi Tips for Conferences
I've just returned from the REtechSouth Conference in Atlanta, GA where Andy Kaufman and I presented a session on how to utilize social media to maximize your conference session. We called it: Master Jedi Tips for Conferences. The idea for the presentation came about when I realized that I had been attending Inman Real Estate Connect Conferences since 2000, but it wasn't until I discovered social media in 2008 that I actually met anybody. Going to a conference used to mean making connections with one or two people that I happened to sit by in a session. Then, along came social media and suddenly I'm meeting literally hundreds of people. Social media enabled me to learn about events like REBarCamp, and pre-meet people like Andy before I ever left my home. And once at the conference, I have utilized tools like twitter to find people to have dinner with, see what sessions people were most interested, and find the party where the influencers are at. Social media completely transformed my conference experience and made a huge impact on the value I attributed to the conferences I attended.
An understanding of the social media tools that can help you to connect and engage with more people at conferences can yield anyone greater ROI on their conference dollars. And, it seems that a few people are interested in this topic. As of the time of this post, there have been 1195 views of our presentation on Slideshare.net, and the presentation was selected to be featured on the homepage of the Slideshare website.

I'm Being Taken Over By 'The Fear'
The danger started a couple months ago when I first heard Lily Allen's "The Fear." Uh oh, I thought. Lily's annoying voice is overshadowed by all the pretty pop production...this isn't good!
And then there's the pretty video, sort of a better, three-minute version of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, minus the bad stuff (Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Sofia Coppola, the movie itself, etc.).
Surely all the songs on the It's Not Me, It's You album couldn't be as good? Uh, oh. They are! "22" sounds like The Beatles meets old school Elton John? "Who'd Have Known" steals from Take That's "Shine"? Well, Lily, if you're gonna rip 'em off, rip 'em off classy!
Anyway, one iTunes birthday gift card later, and I've totally Lily'd up my life. And I can't stop listening. For those who were around these parts when Allen's first album came out three years back, you'll know what a complete turnaround this is for D'luv.
But oh, well. It's not my fault. It's how I'm programmed to function.

BCITO Strategic Workforce Development Framework
BCITO's Strategic Workforce Development Framework will help Construction Industry businesses and employers to develop strategies that support their mid-to-long-term business plans and the sustainable development of a better-skilled workforce.
To combat the shortage of new recruits and skills the construction industry is facing in coming years, Hon Dr Nick Smith, Minister for Building and Housing, formally launched the BCITO Strategic Development Workforce Framework at the BCITO Skills Summit in 2016. This is a major focus for BCITO which will help construction industry businesses and employers develop strategies that support their business plans and the sustainable development of a better-skilled workforce. It also outlines BCITO's strategic goals in relation to workforce development.
BCITO's Strategic Workforce Development Framework is designed to assist employers to:
- Build an accurate picture of the current skills and capabilities of their workforce.
- Identify future requirements for their workforce and the desired outcomes they wish to achieve.
- Develop strategies to address gaps between the current status of their workforce and desired outcomes.
- Consider and understand the impact business strategy has on workforce development.
An initial generic launch document was just the first step in an ongoing process to help skills-proof our industry.
In 2016, BCITO engaged employers with a sector-specific plan for their particular trade.

A rise in Payday Loans complaints but PPI still dominates
Phil MeekinView Profile
It has been revealed that in the 6 months to June complaints about payday loans have risen significantly while PPI still dominates Financial Ombudsman cases.
Complaints with regards to payday lenders have more than tripled in the first half of 2016. This is being put down to borrowers and the public becoming more aware of their consumer rights.
The Financial Ombudsman only deals with disputes when they cannot be resolved between the consumer and the financial institution. It is a last port of call for consumers unhappy with service that have already tried to work with their financial institution.
As a result, numbers of complaints received to the Ombudsman do not show the full extent of consumers unhappy with service or products from financial institutions.
In the first six months of the year, there was a 3% rise in overall complaints taking the number up to 169,132 new cases put to the Ombudsman. Showing the biggest rise during that time were complaints regarding payday loans. They have risen by 1213 and around 53% of those complaints have been upheld with the Ombudsman finding in the complainant's favour.
However, The Consumer Finance Association (representative of some major payday loans providers) claims most customers feel they are treated better by payday loans companies than other lenders. This likely comes as a reference to a recent survey by Smart Money People which revealed that 95% of short term credit customers felt they were treated fairly.
Speaking to the BBC, chief executive of the Consumer Finance Association, Russell Hamblin-Boone, had this to say about these recent Ombudsman findings; "We are obviously disappointed with the number of complaints, but this must be viewed in perspective. Of around a million loans funded there were about 2,000 upheld complaints."
It is PPI complaints that still dominate the Ombudsman's workload however, with 91,381 new cases in just six months. That equates to around 54% of their workload during this time, a huge number when you consider the Ombudsman deals with all manner of complaints concerning banks, insurers and other financial institutions.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) would like to set a June 2019 deadline for claiming for PPI, after banks have already paid out £24bn in compensation. Right now though, this seems like a very optimistic target for the FCA to set when complaints figures for PPI are still so high.
If you are unhappy with your financial provider's services, make sure you know your consumer rights regarding complaints and the procedure you will need to follow. You can find out more about this on the Financial Ombudsman website.

The public reaction to a federal judge's decision declaring California's prohibition of same-sex marriages unconstitutional has again demonstrated that Americans have deeply held and divergent views about gay marriage. The closely reasoned and factually robust opinion of US District Court Judge Vaughn Walker may well be the vehicle that compels the United States Supreme Court to determine what is meant by the "right to marry." It is a question state supreme courts have grappled with for nearly two decades. But it is not a question for judges only.
The most intriguing aspect of Judge Walker's thorough and cogent 135 page opinion is his assertion that the support of California voters for Proposition 8 limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples is "irrelevant, as fundamental rights may not be submitted to a vote; they depend on the outcome of no election."
Judge Walker's statement is absolutely correct in the constitutional context in which it was used. Neither California voters nor the voters of any state can amend their respective constitutions to deny rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution. If Walker's decision is ultimately affirmed by the US Supreme Court, state constitutional provisions in some 30 states restricting marriage to opposite-sex couples would be null and void.
A potential federal constitutional amendment
There is, however, a constitutional context in which the views of California citizens (and citizens of every state) may be very relevant to the right to marry. It is a circumstance in which a right declared fundamental by the United States Supreme Court may be submitted to a vote. Although most observers (myself included) believe it unlikely that the Supreme Court as currently comprised would embrace Walker's legal analysis, it is a virtual certainty that if the Court did so, there would be an attempt to "overturn" its decision by constitutional amendment.
For another view, read "Gay marriage: Why Judge Walker got Proposition 8 ruling wrong"
Proposals to limit the right to marry by amending the federal Constitution to incorporate a "traditional" definition of marriage have been considered by Congress, but the impetus would be far greater in the face of a United States Supreme Court decision recognizing a right to gay marriage. Two-thirds of both Houses of Congress, or the legislatures of two-thirds of the States, may propose such an amendment, three-fourths of the States (either by legislative vote or constitutional convention) being necessary for ratification.
In fact, Walker determined that a judicially mandated right to same-sex marriage is vulnerable to limitation by constitutional amendment. His ruling found that the "legal disadvantage for gays and lesbians" arising from stereotypes is significant. Indeed, as one of the trial's expert witnesses noted, between 1998 and 2008, voters in 30 states passed amendments limiting marriage to a man and a woman – usually by a large margin.
Walker's decision may be the beginning of a journey to two locations of constitutional authority. The first, chosen by the eminent lawyers Theodore Olson and David Boies, who lead the challenge of Proposition 8, is populated by judges. The second (if the challenge is successful) may be populated by "the people themselves" intent on amending the US Constitution to conform with a traditional definition of marriage.
As a supporter of same-sex marriage, it would be difficult for me to envision a more unhappy result than a decision of the US Supreme Court affirming a right to gay marriage, which would then be "reversed" by an amendment to the US Constitution limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples. Yet as implausible as such a scenario may seem today, it is at least worth reminding ourselves that such an outcome would be constitutionally legitimate.
"I never heard of an appeal being taken from the Supreme Court" said Stephen Douglas in defending the Court's infamous 1857 Dred Scott decision that held slaves to be private property, prompting Abraham Lincoln to reply that the Court does not issue Holy Writ. The pre-eminent progressive legal scholar, Larry Kramer, is even more direct in "The People Themselves: Popular Constitutionalism and Judicial Review": "The Supreme Court is our servant and not our master...a servant who is ultimately supposed to yield to our judgment about what the Constitution means and not the reverse."
Rights in a democratic society
Judicial opinions – no matter how persuasive as a matter of legal reasoning and factual findings – cannot foreclose debate on matters of great moral and social consequence to a divided democratic society. Jon Stewart makes the point ironically in "America (The Book)": "...the Supreme Court rules that the right to privacy protects a woman's decision to have an abortion and the fetus is not a person having constitutional rights, thus ending all debate on this once controversial issue."
As a matter of law, Walker's decision will be reviewed by judges. Whatever the outcome, the legitimacy of the judicial response depends not on the judges themselves – but on the constitutional values of the American people.
That's why, as supporters of full marriage equality work to uphold Walker's ruling in the coming month and years, they must remember that affirmance ultimately resides in the the humanity of their fellow citizens.
Jeff Amestoy is a former chief justice of the Vermont Supreme Court and a fellow at the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard's Kennedy School. He was the author of Baker v. State, the 1999 decision of the Vermont Supreme Court that led to the nation's first civil-union statute.

Good nucleophiles include RO-, -NH2, Cl-, Br-, I-, F-, CN-, -OH and RCO2-. Both negatively charged and neutral nucleophiles exist. Negatively charged nucleophiles are better than neutral ones and result in faster reaction rates. A few neutral nucleophiles include H2O, NH3, ROH and RCOOH.
Nucleophiles should be good Lewis bases, meaning that they have electrons to share with other atoms. The same reactive atom can be neutral or negatively charged, depending on the nucleophile. Oxygen is neutral in H2O but negatively charged in -OH. Nucleophilicity and basicity increase from right to left on the periodic table. As electronegativity increases, nucleophilicity decreases.

I have mentioned before on my blog that E and I love the look, simplicity and design of Japanese gardens. When we were in Japan it really cemented it for us; we wanted to come home and design an Asian garden of our own.
Now this is a work in process. First, we only could afford so much this year. Also, lots of these tiny plants are going to be huge in years to come, so we didn't want to over plant. And finally, we only had enough man power to get to this stage this year. Next year we have other projects in mind, so that will be fun.
I mentioned in the backpacking post that the light looked so beautiful the other morning, I decided to grab my camera and take a few photos. I hope you enjoy.
1. Our path and moss. One day the moss will fill in. So pretty!
2. Our stone lantern is set up on a hill in the yard.
3. Our dry river winds around and ends near the bench under the trees.
Behind the stones do you notice the bamboo? It is small now, but growing!
Buddha finds enlightenment under our maple trees.
1. Day lilies are so nice in the garden. Even the green grassy leaves add a nice touch.
2. Our pots have exploded with color. E says they are his favorite potted plants yet, and I've been planting pots for six years.
I tease E and say our veggie garden is on steroids. In reality, we just have a really really sunny spot. What is my best tip for growing veggies? LOTS of sunshine.
This year we planted 3 Sweet 100s tomato plants. They are awesome. Each is huge, and I wouldn't be surprised if each plant produces 200 grape tomatoes. And just like the name states, they are so sweet!

I received a complimentary product in exchange for my honest review.
What's the big deal? Why is it so important to recycle? What if I were to tell you that wrapping paper and shopping bags alone make up four million tons of trash every year is the US?
As a child I remember my grandmother on Christmas morning harping on us about ripping the wrapping paper. She would make us carefully open our gifts so she could save the paper for the next year. We used to roll our eyes and think it was just her frugal, Depression Era thinking. But you know what? She was on to something. We waste so many resources just for shiny wrapping paper. I am guilty of this, too. I'm a sucker for shiny things and love pretty wrapping paper.
I was given the opportunity to review eco-friendly wrapping paper from Wrappily I am excited to tell you about it.
The wrapping paper that I received was in sheets instead of a roll. Instead of feeling like wrapping paper you're probably used to, it feels almost like the comics section of the newspaper.
Each sheet of paper is reversible. There is an edge on them with the company logo that needs to be trimmed off or folded over if that is something that bothers you.
This is the reverse side of the green paper which you could color in to make it uniquely your own.
My favorite pattern is this peppermint pattern.
In addition to having attractive, sustainable wrapping paper, Wrappily is:
• Printed in the U.S. at local newspaper presses
• 100% recyclable and compostable
• Based on scaleable sustainability
• Crowdsourced and community-minded
• Great patterns by independent graphic designers
• Reversible, versatile, and fun!
If you feel that little pang of guilt every time you rip open a gift or buy rolls and rolls of wrapping paper and are interested in a more sustainable solution, check out Wrappily.

Occupy Lapland + Its Best Friends
Today is a national holiday: it's Finland's 99th birthday. Sun rises at 10.30 am, stays up three hours 15 minutes and goes back down at 1.45 pm. If we're lucky, everything will be pink for a while before the blue hour.
Finland will celebrate it's 100 years of independence next year. That's cool, but I try not to get too nostalgic – things were worse in the past, and I think it's ok now to keep the eye on future and concentrate on making it a good one.
However, this is a good day to be thankful for everything I've gotten from the state. I'd be nothing without our best ever libraries and book mobiles that delivered books next to my house in 1990's. Books made me. Also, there aren't words enough to tell how happy I'm about being able to educate myself not only one, but two times through our university system. That's a lot for a working class girl not only in my case, but also statistically. Education usually still run in families, or then it doesn't.
This is a great country to be. I don't think we always understand it as well as the rest of the world. Maybe underestimation and negative feedback that we constantly give to ourselves are just our national characteristics and a way to communicate. Maybe it keeps someone trying. Maybe this all is to change soon. Go figure. However, during the past year there has been one place of many good news in Finland, and that's of course Lapland and it's amazing success with tourism. Tourists have made this Europe's dark corner international and vivid, and we're totally enjoying it!
So, next year will be a big celebration and we wanted to contribute. We tried to think of what are the things that make us intrigued by this country. The answer was obvious: Lapland and the very special boarders that it has in west. We couldn't think of any other place where you can this easily travel in between three countries. It's wonderful opportunity to acknowledge how stupidly man-made all the boundaries are.
People in the northernmost corners of Norway, Finland and Sweden don't share the same language, but they share similar living conditions, which, I think, connect us more that language.
Therefore we decided not only to occupy Lapland, but the whole Arctic Region of the Nordic Countries next year. That's our contribution to SuomiFinland100-campaign that's theme is "together". We wish to discover as many corners as we can, and we'd like to invite you to occupy the area with us. Let's make this the place to be in 2017, so it can function as an example how things should be handled between countries.
Will you join us?

By far the best use of 3D touch I've ever seen
What an amazing concept!"
We've seen cool technology, but this is in that category of insanely great. I've never seen such a quantum leap in taking a complex technology and making it so simple you just start to giggle with sheer unadulterated joy."
this will save me hours of editing!
I can see this as being a standard part of every filming device
I've checked out Velapp and it seems like a very necessary tech of today. Especially for travellers and tourists who seem to accumulate tons of visual data none of which is viewable
Meet the team
Described by Apple gurus as "an amazing piece of technology", Velapp is the brainchild of Founder and CEO David de Min. Originally a video production professional, the idea came to him after a holiday touring the Himalayas on a vintage motorbike. Looking at the 300 hours of footage he'd shot made David wish that you could edit AS you shoot… and Velapp was born. This app is the first in a new generation of revolutionary products that David is planning to release.

Monday Mantra: Embrace your Inner Leader/
Be a leader, not a follower.
This has always been my dad's mantra; he would teach me this constantly growing up--I can even hear his ocean-deep Sylvester-Stallone-like voice telling me this right now. He taught me not give into the pressures of wanting to fit in, and to embrace my individuality to its fullest. It's easy to give in to the pressures of society, especially for younger girls, wanting to fit in at the cost of their own unique spirit. Do what is best for you; chase your dreams, entertain your own thoughts, question everything, learn, but most importantly, know what is best for you. The mark of a leader is to be able to awaken one's inner passions and pursue them. And I depart with one of my favorite movie quotes, "I am a peacock, you gotta let me fly!" (you get bonus points if you know where it's from!).
Embrace your inner leader:
1. Trust your abilities- "can't" is not an option. Trust yourself and believe that you are capable of achieving anything you put your mind to.
2. Take initiative- make a move! Why leave for tomorrow what you can do for today? Use your inner drive and passion to go for what you want!
3. Working with others- collaborating with others, being a team player, enlightening others and letting yourself be enlightened by others is a great quality of a leader.
4. Stay true to your moral compass- know what is right and wrong; listen to your gut instinct and keep your integrity high.
5. Treat everyone with respect- "no one is below you, and no one is above you", my grandpa used to tell me this at all times. We are all equal, and treating everyone with respect should be our top priority; remember, Karma sees everything.
6. Give the best you can each day- and nothing less.

Album of the week
Perhaps the funniest few seconds of "Serious Business," the new recording by Chicago's cutting-edge Spektral Quartet, is the entry of Franz Joseph Haydn's well-mannered String Quartet No. 2 (Opus 33) on the heels of David Reminick's decidedly ill-mannered "The Ancestral Mousetrap" (2014), in which the instrumentalists play and sing (sometimes in four-part harmony) an absurdist-macabre text by Russell Edson.
But, then, Haydn did subtitle his quartet "The Joke" (a reference to the several tongue-in-cheeky endings in the Presto finale), and everything about the Sono Luminus package (the CD comes with an audio DVD) is an intentional nudge in the listener's ribs — not so much laugh-out-loud funny as wickedly-droll funny.
The big piece on the disc, Chicago composer Chris Fischer-Lochhead's "Hack" (2015) is a suite in 22 sections — some as tiny as 9 or 10 seconds — made up of transcriptions of lines once uttered by 16 famed comedians ranging from Lenny Bruce to Robin Williams. Fischer-Lochhead's rude scrunches, swoops and sputters are cheerfully anarchic stuff; so is Sky Macklay's "Many Many Cadences" (2014), a twitchy mass of tonal cadences jammed atop one another. The performances and recording could hardly be better, and the cover art is a hoot.

American workers spend more time in the office, at the factory, or on the farm than anyone else anywhere in the world. Americans also produce more per person over a year than anyone else.
American workers spend more time in the office, at the factory, or on the farm than anyone else anywhere in the world. Americans also produce more per person over a year than anyone else.
That may be why the notion of cutting back on the use of oil goes over with most Americans like the proverbial ton of lead. While its true that the United States consumes about 400 million gallons of gasoline every day, a good percentage of that fuel is used to ferry people back and forth to work. According to the federal government's Energy Information Administration, 400 million gallons translates out to about 20 million barrels of oil every day.
So whenever the question of 'cutting back' on oil usage comes up, it almost seems un-American. That's because Americans are great competitors when it comes to work. In fact, the International Laborers Organization say that while workers from the various regions around the globe have the potential to create more wealth, they are held back by a lack of investment in training, equipment and technology.
It's true that our highways are clogged with too many gas-guzzling mini -tanks. On the other hand, it is also true that America is the work-engine of the world. Putting a crimp into our ability to produce is tantamount to directly affecting the economy of the world.
That's why politicians who compare Americans to the rest of the world fail to make their point. All other things aren't equal. Higher and higher prices of oil is dangerous for producers if it leads America to find alternative energy supplies. It's hard to imagine why a nation of 300 million people can't find ingenious ways to replace Middle-eastern oil with reasonably priced alternatives.
Did you know that on average, Americans work 350 hours per year than Europeans. That extra time adds up to nine more weeks of labor. So, Americans have a right to grumble out loud at the gas pump and to raise their voices in anger at staggering heating fuel bills and rising prices in food and other necessities.
Neither can it be said that Americans over-indulge themselves when it comes to recreation. Europeans, for example, have made a tradeoff between hours worked and quality of life. On the other hand, Americans have chosen to increase productivity for more stuff. To pay for it, of course, we work more.
Americans do celebrate 10 public holidays. Still, many companies don't honor all national holidays and U.S. firms are the stingiest in the developed world when it comes to vacations. By contrast, national law in France guarantees workers 11 public holidays, a minimum of five weeks paid vacation, and a 35-hour work week.
What's more aggravating is that work is a serious family matter. The rise of the two-income family means that collectively, Americans are putting more time on the clock. More dual-earner families means more working mothers. As total family hours at work continue to increase, there is less time available at home.
High gas prices affect us in other ways. A longer commute, for example, doesn't necessarily constitute additional hours worked. Rather, it's time spent just to hold a job. Now, not only are we being asked to spend more time to keep a job, but to pay an extra cost for the privilege as well.
Politicians who tell us to change the way we live and conserve more might more sense if they also created ways where people could work fewer hours, travel shorter distances, and have more time to spend at home.
Meanwhile, there are 21.4 billion barrels of oil reserves in the United States. Until alternative forms of energy are introduced, the combination of short supply, high demand, and plain old greed have combined to at least temporarily outweigh the arguments for conservation.
Like it or not, it's time to drill.

And really, we don't know what Paul Simon meant when he sang about the "sounds of silence" because life on Snob Hill is usually peaceful and relatively quiet, but never silent.
People speak about the chirping of birds as the harbinger of spring (but honestly, don't birds sing year round?) (on the other hand, tulips announce themselves with color rather than sound) (though maybe, like dog whistles, our ears don't hear them)).
We know summer by the sound of the lawn mower and leaf blower operated by our imposing neighbor Mr. Vonk across the street. Mr. Vonk lets us know when the grass is dry enough to be cut (at least twice a week or more, it seems), when our leaves have invaded his expansive personal air space, and when all weeds need whacking. We look forward to the day when, like one of those hurdy-gurdy one-man-bands, Mr. Vonk will don all his mechanized equipment and mow and blow and whack simultaneously. If this occurs, we promise to provide some proof, like one of those herky jerky films of Sasquatch (apparently only the palsied camera-challenged are eligible for an audience with Pope Gigantopithecus) .
We know that autumn is upon us by the sound of acorns falling on the plastic (call it "composite material" all you want, but it's still plastic) carport that our neighbors attached to their house like a piece of mismatched Lego. To gank a phrase from an old commercial, we wish they would "leggo that Lego." Such a structure is unbecoming of Snob Hill.
As autumn approaches, we lie in bed, especially in the morning, and listen as the accords begin to drop – propelled at first slowly, prompted by slight winds, and then building into a crescendo as the temperatures cool and they are stripped by gusts from the North. It is as if the Mother Oak finally decides the time has come for her acorn children to go out a play…permanently. And try to not to get under foot!
All of this is leads us to our current feelings of good riddance toward our gardens, especially the vegetable garden. Sadly, our mantra, as we stand before them, surrounded by the plunk of freedom-seeking, plummeting acorns, the steroidal whine of Mr. Vonk's leaf disturber, and the obnoxious natterings of the amateur announcer from the nearby stadium that describes the silly scurryings of third-tier college athletes, is simply, "Just die already."
We have been known to be autumnally melancholic, morose even, as we contemplate the gathering gloom, the abbreviation of daylight (and increasing Vitamin D deficiency) and the inexorable slide into winter. We are reputed to be Fall People, fixated on the strip search and confiscation of the other three seasons of flora. This year, all of that flailing has been replaced with an overwhelming "Oh, Get on with it!"
In the spring, we began with such high hopes. We moved what seemed like a ton of pavers from the back yard to the front of the yard as we lined our new vegetable garden. We hired Rototiller Man (an archaeological descendant to Piltdown Man?) to break the earth and outdo Mr. Vonk's landscaping motor madness, at least for an hour and a half. Then we furtively pored through seed catalogs like plant porn addicts, amended soil, fertilized, cold composted, and visited nurseries and Home Depot's garden center.
We were inspired by a passage from Gary Paulsen's Clabbered Dirt, Sweet Grass, describing some uncles during planting season:
Pick up the dirt and smile and say:
"Drop a seed in this drop a goddam seed in this, and you won't make the edge of field before it's up to your knee tripping you."
Pick up the soil and taste it, taste a piece of it and smell it and throw it down and smile and say, "Clabbered dirt, sweet grass," even though dirt doesn't clabber and sour, but sill, still there is a thing to taste there that tells things.
Oh, such was our springtime Pollyanna hopes for the garden. Now, these several months later, we have devolved. We began like Big Edie in Grey Gardens when she said, "I love the smell [of Grey Gardens]. I thrive on it. It makes me feel good."
Now we are like Little Edie when she said, "I can't stand being in this house. In the first place, it makes me terribly nervous. I'm scared to death of doors, locks, people roaming around in the background, under the trees, in the bushes, I'm absolutely terrified." (Is it no wonder that The Grey Gardens: The Musical CD had sold approximately 30,000 copies as of November 2007?)
So we are terrified of our gardens. We could list the many reasons why we have allowed them to fall into their current state of disrepair, but, really, are minor foot surgery and two months in a "cam boot," poorly staked tomato plants, two gusty, bamboo-trellis-destroying rain storms, preparations to send our youngest child off to college, general professional obligations, aggressive avoidance of OODW, Lady Macbeth Syndrome (Out Out Damnned Weed), and the threat of West Nile really enough to offset and properly explain our failures as stewards of the soil? We think not.
Our gardens are FUBAR. If you don't know this military acronym for utter failure please Google it. Propriety prevents us from such potty mouthings at present. Best now to metaphorically plow them under. Learn from our mistakes – apply a dab of disambiguation. And spend the winter listening to the wailing soundtrack of Mr. Vonk's snow blower. And preparing to do it all again next spring.
Such is the nature of gardening.

After hearing what he called "horrible" stories of pets being left chained outside during Hurricane Irma, state Rep. Bobby Olszewski has filed a bill that would make that against the law in Florida, requiring owners to do all they can to get shelter for their animal companions.
House Bill 907 would kick in anytime an emergency evacuation is ordered, requiring pet owners to take their pets with them or find safe and secure places for the pets.
State Sen. Victor Torres, an Orlando Democrat, intends to introduce a companion bill in the Senate.
"Unfortunately during Hurricane Irma there were horrible accounts of people leaving their pets unattended outside with some even tied to a tree to fend for themselves without shelter during the hurricane," Olszewski, a Winter Garden Republican, said in a news release. "This law will penalize individuals who do not secure shelter for their domestic companion animals in addition to allowing law enforcement to secure and shelter these pets when the Governor has issued an evacuation order during a declared state of emergency."
Violators would be subject to civil fines.
The bill defines the distinction between pets – "domestic companion animals" – and service animals or livestock. The bill would not apply to livestock.

In my never ending quest to build the perfect versatile wardrobe - particularly for travel - I love little hacks like today's "dress." The first time I wore it, my friend Maegan commented, "Cute dress!" and I pulled the waistband of the skirt out with excitement and said, "IT'S TWO PIECES!"
Yes, this two piece set is a modern wonder. I imagine I'll pack this for my summer excursions and wear the top with white pants and wedges, then the next day the skirt with a white silk tank. At night, I'll put the two together for the perfect dinner dress and wonder if people can smell the fact that I've worn the same two pieces for three days in a row. Easy, breezy, travel Febreze (the Gain smell makes it feel like you actually did laundry).
Speaking of travel and walking in general, these JustFab flats are my latest favorite find. They're just dainty enough that it feels like you're wearing a dressy sandal, but comfortable for walking. For some reason the pathetic excuse for a heel still makes me feel like I'm wearing heels, so that's a win in my book.
Top, JustFab (exact).
Bottom, JustFab (exact).
Heels, c/o JustFab (exact in several colors).
Necklace, local boutique Fringe.
This post is not sponsored by JustFab but might as well be, since I'm a walking model for them right now. I am a Brand Ambassador, though, just for some full transparency stuff so the FTC doesn't come for my very fashionable bones.

Samuel G. Mustari, who covers Northern Colorado for the Greeley Tribune, provides his insight into this matchup with CU:
Bears key to this game
1. QB Jacob Knipp: UNC's leader on and off the field and specifically the face of the program needs to move the chains. His protection isn't expected to be great, but if he can get rid of the ball in a hurry on short passes, the Bears' offense has a chance to succeed, especially with receivers Alex Wesley, Ellis Onic II and Hakeem Deggs.
2. RB Trae Riek: Arguably the best back in the Big Sky Conference. Great in the open field and has the ability to break tackles through the line and into the second tier of defenders.
3. SS Stone Kane: Technically, the leader in the defensive backfield that wasn't very good a year ago. Kane needs to be huge in run support.
Who they're talking about
CU players the Bears have talked most about this week:
1. Obviously, CU back Phillip Lindsay has to be limited to less than 100 yards rushing. UNC can't afford to let him run loose.
2. The combo of QB Steven Montez, whom UNC coach Earnest Collins Jr., calls "big and fast with a strong arm," and wideouts Shay Fields and Bryce Bobo, who could cause the Bears troubles if they get 1-on-1 coverage.
Key statistic for Northern Colorado
Turnovers and big plays. UNC needs both. A big defensive turnover could sway the momentum. A long completion or even a big run back by Onic or Deggs could keep the game close and give the Bears at least a chance to possibly win. Big plays can lessen CU's depth.
Northern Colorado can win this game if …
It's going to take a fast start. The Bears need to move the chains early to gain confidence. Knipp's ability as a QB could make a big difference. He hasn't played a full game in two seasons due to injury, and he's champing at the bit to show up big in Boulder, which is 15 minutes from his home in Arvada. Defensively, the Bears need to get on and off the field. Long CU drives could wear UNC's defense down. Of course, all of this is a lot easier said than done.

20 Life Lessons I Learned From My Father
There's no cookie-cutter father figure, nor is there a parent handbook. Our parents raise each one of us in a completely different way.
Ask anyone what their fathers have taught them, and the answers will range widely, from nothing at all to universal golden nuggets of wisdom.
If we are lucky we scored a homerun in the love department and we got a dad who knows what they are doing. I feel lucky and blessed to have a father who not only taught me right from wrong but also loves me for my unique self.
No matter what your relationship (or lack thereof) with your father is like, if he's still in your life you probably learned a few things from him. As we go through life we can learn a lot about ourselves through the reflection of our family members. As I grow older, my father has become one of my best friends. I'm thankful for the life advice he has passed down.
He has taught me 20 invaluable lessons about life, love and the pursuit of happiness.
1. Love people for who they are, not who you think they should or could be.
2. If your dog doesn't like someone you probably shouldn't either.
3. Practice is the only way to get better.
4. It is okay to change your mind.
5. Your struggles will only make your stronger.
6. Things don't happen overnight; give it time.
7. Marriage can last when you focus on what's working rather than what's not.
8. Sometimes listening is the best thing you can do for another person.
9. Don't take anything personally; it's not about you.
10. Gossip wastes time and energy.
11. You are loved.
12. Don't assume anything.
13. Don't burn bridges.
14. Everything is connected... everything.
15. You have unique gifts. Honor them.
16. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
17. Treat your mother well.
18. Trust yourself.
19. Sometimes the wrong choice will bring you to the right place.
20. Love is the only answer, always. Tell the people you care about that you love them often. You never know how much time you have.

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Patricia Reitz
Oh boy do I have a decadent breakfast recipe to share with you today. How do Cinnamon Roll Pancakes sound?? Yes, I know... way too good, right? Right!! That's why I only make them when we have guests in the house.
The pancake batter is pretty straight forward, but you can use your favorite boxed pancake mix if you like. The cinnamon filling and the creamy drizzle should be made before you start frying your pancakes. I put each of them in a sturdy zip-top bag. When I'm ready to use each, I snip a tiny hole in the corner of the bag. If the cinnamon filling starts to separate before you use it, squish it around in the bag for a minute. Likewise, if the cream drizzle starts to firm up too much before you use it, squish it around in the bag for a minute.
Prepare the cinnamon filling and creamy drizzle before you start. Keep the bags sealed for now, but snip a small hole in the corner of each when needed.
Each batch of pancakes should start with a clean skillet.
When you start seeing bubbles in the pancake batter, pipe the cinnamon filling in a swirl pattern, being careful not to pipe it too close to the edge of the pancakes.
Get too close to the edge and this will happen. No worries, it'll still taste good.
Flip the pancakes over when the bottoms look like this.
Ooooo.... so cool.
Are you ready for a bite? Wait... we need to add the creamy drizzle.
Okay, there you go. You're welcome.

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Creamy Glaze:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder, sifted
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon canola oil
To make the cinnamon filling:
Combine ingredients and place in a heavy zip-top bag; set aside until needed
To make the creamy drizzle:
Gently melt butte rand whisk in cream cheese until smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
Place in a heavy zip-top bag; set aside until needed.
To make the pancake batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
Add milk, egg, and oil; whisk just until combined (don't over whisk - a few lumps in the batter are okay).
To make the pancakes:
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick spray. Scoop 1/3 cup batter per pancake into hot skillet (each pancake will be about 4-inches in diameter).
Reduce heat to low.
Snip a tiny hole in the corner of the bag containing the cinnamon filling. When the pancake begins to form bubbles, squeeze cinnamon filling in a swirl pattern starting in the center, being careful not to get the filling too close to the edges of the pancake; cook 2-3 minutes, or until it's time to flip the pancakes over.
Cook on second side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Wipe pan clean between batches. Serve with creamy drizzle.

Owner & President
Born and raised in Florida, Keith Mahan began his landscaping career as a teenager working on the maintenance crew at a local golf course each summer. After graduating from Barron Collier High School, the golf course superintendent brought him onboard full time to help build a golf course in Atlanta, Georgia. He got a taste of the irrigation part of the landscape industry and was hooked instantly.
Mahan joined Crawford Landscaping in 2009 as the Operations Manager of the Irrigation Division. In 2013, he also assumed the role of Operations Manager of Construction before being named Vice President of Crawford Landscaping in 2014.
"I love the people I work with," says Mahan. "I personally strive to be the best and I want to be on the best team. I love the work environment here at Crawford Landscaping and I truly believe this is the best company in town."
Mahan says the biggest thing that sets Crawford Landscaping apart from the competition, is that they are the only full service landscaping company. "From start to stop, we can design it, install it, and maintain it. A lot of companies have to subcontract work out, but we don't."
Mahan likes to spend his free time with his wife and two teenage children, fishing, boating and golfing.

A subject I can never quite put to bed, 'Alice in Wonderland' has once again provided inspiration for my latest illustration and print in my Fairytales & Fables series.
It didn't ease my fascination to recently visit the 'Wonderland' exhibit in Melbourne's ACMI centre.
To see so many iterations of Lewis Carroll's famous story, along with original artworks, manuscripts and various animation stills, was a treat beyond all others!
(Scroll down further for a few images from the exhibition.)
With a brain abuzz with Wonderland magic, and feeling inspired by a particular chapter in 'Through the Looking Glass' - 'The Garden of Live Flowers' - I decided to portray Alice in a garden bed surrounded by oversized, talking blooms.
'How is it you can all talk so nicely?' Alice said, hoping to get it into a better temper by a compliment. 'I've been in many gardens before, but none of the flowers could talk.'
'Put your hand down, and feel the ground,' said the Tiger-lily. 'Then you'll know why.
Alice did so. 'It's very hard,' she said, 'but I don't see what that has to do with it.'
'In most gardens,' the Tiger-lily said, 'they make the beds too soft — so that the flowers are always asleep.'
This sounded a very good reason, and Alice was quite pleased to know it. 'I never thought of that before!' she said.'
– Lewis Carroll.
Of course in this version we see Alice in all of her sartorial splendour with a little nod to the extraordinary impact she has had on the fashion and beauty industries via an imagined Diptyque scent Wonderland which would, of course, be used as a vase in its namesake habitat.
(As I, myself, do with my own empty vessels at home.)
I hope you like this latest 'Alice' illustration.

Perchance to Dream by Lisa Mantchev
Genre: Contemporary/Fantasy
Release Date: 5/25/2010
Add to Goodreads
Other books in series: Eyes Like Stars
About the Book: Bertie and company are traveling from the Theatre in order to save the pirate Nate from the sea goddess who kidnapped him. Bertie is a mistress of tales and can write the company's story, but her words don't always work out the way she plans and the journey takes many unexpected twists. Ariel travels with Bertie and occupies her days, while Nate takes up her dreams at night. Will Bertie be able to save Nate and the company? And who will Bertie's heart choose?
GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: I absolutely loved the first book in this series, Eyes Like Stars, so I couldn't wait to read this one.
Perchance to Dream brings the return of the characters that made Eyes Like Stars so wonderful-Bertie, Ariel, Nate and the fairies are all there, and there's an addition of some new characters that add to the story. Lisa Mantchev's beautiful writing is there and she again weaves a magical story. I was worried with Nate being kidnapped we wouldn't see him much, but I was happily surprised that Nate appeared more than I thought he would (and I totally call dibs on Nate-love him-I'm Team Nate for sure!) There's an addition of a Cirque du Soleil inspired circus that Bertie and company travel with and I wish we could have spent more time with them-they were my favorite part!
I didn't really like that this whole book took place outside of the Theatre-I found myself confused at parts because I was unfamiliar with the setting. The company's travels jumped around a lot too, which wasn't always easy to follow. There's some background, but this one picks up right at the end of the first book without a lot of recap, so it would probably be helpful to re-read Eyes Like Stars before reading this one. There were also a few characters that were thrown in and not given as much development as I would have liked (one a very important character for Bertie and her story). Sadly, I guess I just felt somewhat lost during the first half of the book.
There's also a lot of set-up for book three and this is very much a place holder before the big finale of book three. I do think Ms. Mantchev is a talented author and she writes some very funny scenes that had me laughing out loud! This one just did not live up to the hype I had build up for it. I'm hoping Bertie and company return to the Theatre where I think they truly shine and I hope they have the big fantastic ending they deserve. (And go Team Nate!)

I agree. I liked it but it was too frentic in places.ReplyDelete
I'm reading this one now! I'm about halfway through, but so far, I actually like it better than Eyes Like Stars. And yay Nate! Lol. :)ReplyDelete
It's like being inside a spinning top but I liked that it was a departure from ELS. Really wish there was more info on the parentage stuff but I suspect that will come in the third. Great review.ReplyDelete

Guys please answer meReplyDelete
on this one! I don't have enough money to buy "perchance to dream" but I read an "alternate ending" and
it said that the one-and-only Nate was
Bertie's dad, please tell me it was only the Internet lying!!!!
Hey Anon-ReplyDelete
Ugh-that'd be a terrible storyline! Not to worry-Nate is still Nate, not Bertie's Dad. There is a father in the book, but it's not Nate.

Playing blog catch-up finally, so you'll see a bunch of posts that happened pre-Jack. Avery's birthday was three days before my due date, so we had a tiny little party for her a few weeks before her actual birthday just in case I was in the hospital then. She requested a Fancy Nancy party, to which I happily obliged because it required minimal work seeing as we had almost everything on hand already. We layed out dress-up clothes for the girls to wear if they didn't come already dressed, I bought some feather boas and tiaras for the girls, and decorated simply. Four of her closest friends attended, we had lunch and cupcakes and presents, and this is hands-down my favorite party because it was simple and stress-free.
|Flannery and Molly
|Analise and Selah
|All the girls, minus Eleanor, who frequently refuses to pose for pictures
|making flower wands
|I had to capture this: Avery asked to pray before the meal, and it was such a sweet, simple prayer
|ladies that lunch
|Eleanor was determined to grab a cupcake quickly

Zayn Alexander is a New York-based actor and director of Lebanese origin.
Alexander was born and raised in a small town outside of Beirut, Lebanon. He attended college at the American University of Beirut. Though, initially, Alexander hoped to earn a degree in Fine Arts to pursue a career in Theatre and Film, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.
After graduating college, Alexander moved to New York City to pursue a Master of Arts degree in Psychology at Columbia University, where he completed the two-year program. While in New York, Alexander seized the opportunity to pursue his initial passion of performing, enrolling in a Master Acting Class at Penny Templeton Studio and joining The Complete Theatre Company (TCTC). During this time, Alexander booked the lead role in the film "The Defector" directed by Lit Kilpatrick. The film went on to become the official selection at the 2012 Big Apple Film Festival and the 2013 Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival. Another performance highlight was the lead role in the Educational Theatre of New York's (ETNY) spring production of "Socrates on Trial." ETNY's productions are frequently featured in notable press, including the New York Times as they serve to be an educational theatrical platform to New York City schools. Soon after, Alexander enrolled at the recognized T. Schreiber Studio and the Atlantic Acting School to continue his acting training.
Since this time, Alexander has booked a myriad of film and theater roles including the lead in "Jannah," which was filmed between New York City and Istanbul, Turkey. "Jannah" was directed by Matias Maumus, a filmmaker whose work has screened at the Boğaziçi Film Festival in Istanbul and other notable venues. The film went on to be featured on infobae.com, an online Argentinean live TV channel and other notable Argentinean press. Other films worth mentioning include: "The Circle," which was selected to screen at the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival in the Short Film Corner, and "Guarded," which was selected to screen at the 2015 New Filmmakers NY Summer Screening Series and the 2015 Los Angeles International Short Film Festival. Additional theatre highlights include the lead in the Between the Seas' production of "Could You Please Look Into the Camera?" Between the Seas is the first and only festival in North America focusing on contemporary Mediterranean performing artists that runs annually in New York City.
Alexander was recently cast in the short film "Like Salt" directed by Darine Hotait. Hotait's films have screened at top festivals such as HBO's Outfest. "Like Salt" wrapped its production in the summer of 2017 in New York City. The film opened the 10th Marfa Film Festival, and was an official selection at the 13th Cinetopia Film Festival and the 15th Fear No Film at Utah Arts Festival. "Like Salt" had its international premiere at the Festival Des Cinemas Arabes (Institut Du Monde Arabe) in July of 2018 at the Arab World Institute in Paris, France.
Alexander was also recently cast in a supporting role in the short film "Aleppo" starring Laetitia Eido, star of the NETFLIX show "FAUDA". The film wrapped its production in May of 2018 and is scheduled for release in 2019.
In August of 2017, Alexander starred in and directed the acclaimed short film "Abroad". "Abroad" is an intimate foreign drama that explores the life of an immigrant couple and the potential collapse of their American dream. The film made its world premiere at the 2018 Santa Barbara International Film Festival in competition to a sold-out crowd. SBIFF is a long-respected staple of the international film circuit and is an Oscar-qualifying showcase for American independent cinema alongside many of the best films from every corner of the globe. The film generated enough buzz to draw the attention of The Beach Reporter. "Abroad" made its New York Premiere at the 2018 SOHO International Film Festival in June 2018. The film played in competition and picked up a nomination for "Best Showcase Short Film". Following its New York premiere, "Abroad" was invited by The Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP) to screen as part of IFP's "Made in NY Media Center" new short film screening series. IFP is the nation's oldest and largest not-for-profit advocacy organization for independent filmmakers.
In August of 2018, "Abroad" made its Australian premiere at the the 2018 St. George Bank Lebanese Film Festival August 16 - September 1 in Sydney, Australia. The film premiered on August 26, 2018. Ziad Doueiri's Oscar Nominated film "The Insult" inaugurated the festival in its 7th edition.
In September of 2018, "Abroad" made its MENA (Middle East and North Africa) premiere at the 13th Lebanese Film Festival at Beirut Souks CINEMACITY. Nadine Labaki's Cannes Jury Prize Winner "Capharnaüm" inaugurated the festival in its 13th edition.
In October of 2018, Alexander directed and starred in the film "Manara". In association with Premiere Film, "Manara" made its world premiere at the 76th Venice Film Festival (Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica della Biennale di Venezia) in the Giornate degli Autori section (Venice Days) at the Villa degli Autori at the Venice Lido on September 4, 2019. The film was initially presented during the 5th edition of "Laguna Sud, The Cinema outside the Palace" (Laguna Sud - Il Cinema fuori dal Palazzo) where it took home the "Laguna Sud Award". Laguna Sud was conceived and directed by Andrea Segre (founder of Zalab) and Giorgio Gosetti (artistic director of Venice Days). The jury, composed of director Paola Randi, director of photography Valerio Azzali and writer Francesco Targhetta awarded Manara the top prize.
In addition to his background in Psychology, Alexander also carries a Master of Science degree in Public Relations and Integrated Marketing from New York University.
Zayn is repped by John Shea, Talent Agent/Head of the Agency at Frontier Booking International.

"I Love" Sunday's v.81
Hello Dreamers!
I hope this Sunday finds you very well.
** October Daily has definitely started! For which I am super stoked. I've shared some pictures on my IG account and I shared a video yesterday on my YouTube channel of my first week's flip through. I got a completely new album, which is discussed in the video, and I love it SO MUCH MORE!
** My mini pocket letter from Eny came in and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! She is super sweet and I love everything that she sent me!
** Wednesday I shared with you all a look at my first ever flip book inspired by Sam of Halloween Happy.
** My kit came in from Serena Bee and I am super stoked! I bought her stamp set from last year because I just couldn't resist. The first thing that I did? Use the stamps in my planner. I'll share a picture of this on my IG tomorrow!
** This week is the last week of my Introduction to Human Services class (it was only an 8 week class). For this I am thankful because while I like the subject matter, the teacher left something to be desired and everything was crammed into a short period of time. Tuesday was my last day in class, which is where we presented our power points about our service learning projects and Thursday was the actual last day, where we just stayed home and took our last test. I think I would have liked the class more if we had more time and a different teacher.
** Lee had 24 hour duty Wednesday but has been off since Thursday at 0900.... and doesn't go back to work until Tuesday morning. That's a lot of time off. Haha. We went out and he bought a new video game that he has been obsessed with and played non-stop.
** Since I didn't have class Thursday (just tests), Lee and I decided to go to Red Lobster because his mother sent us a $25 gift card for no reason. It was very sweet of her and the food was amazing! It was nice to have a mini date night together!
** Hurricane Matthew hit North Carolina early yesterday morning and it has been one hell of an adventure. Our city wasn't quite prepared for the flooding that would happen, but that is mostly just because of the flooding from last week's storm. There were a LOT of rescues that day (around 700) and FEMA from NYPD and FDNY, NJ, OH, and Charlotte, NC came to help out, which makes my heart happy. I don't know if there were many (or any) casualties here in Fayetteville, but it is going to take us a while to recover. There are still a lot of areas that are flooded, schools are still shut down, and now we're having water problems. Fayetteville, being the military town that it is, will persevere.
The photo on the left is the two houses across the street as it started flooding. By the time it was all said and done the flooding had reached our driveway, but we got lucky that we didn't have any damage. The house on the right of that picture had sand bags in front of their garage door and the water over ran the sand bags. They didn't appear to have much damage (we went around the neighborhood today to see the damage and there wasn't much to people's homes).
The picture on the right was where the road was washed away right down the road from me. My nephew took that photo right after it happened because they heard it fall apart. It's a main road in our neighborhood so it's going to be interesting to see how this affects us in the long run. The guard rail and part of the road is now gone. The picture below is what it looked like from a better angle.
** We had my classmate Jakki and her husband over for dinner last night because they had no water and no power. We had a blast because we decided to crack open my new Cards Against Humanity box that I just bought from Target. It was hysterical and I can't wait to do it again. It was kind of hard to get all of us in the picture... that's part of Lee's face at the bottom. It's a weird photo, but I definitely kind of like it. My friend's husband always makes funny faces in pictures as you can see below.
.: Little Loves :.

What are you loving from this past week?


text: Useful for the students in my anatomy class and others: I have a board on Pinterest where I'm collecting images I find helpful for the study of anatomy. There's even some out-of-the-box stuff with Mermaid and other fantastical creature anatomy! I keep adding new things and also have other boards that may be of interest including figure drawing references, Art Deco, and hairdos... if that's your thing. :-)
