Southwest Airlines has started repairs on the lap joints of five Boeing 737s after finding minor subsurface cracking on the aircraft.
The repairs stem from a decompression event on a 737-300 Classic on 1 April, which forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing in Yuma, Arizona.
In the aftermath, the FAA issued an airworthiness directive requiring inspections of certain Classic 737s at every 500 cycles.
Boeing has provided repair instructions to Southwest for the five aircraft, which includes the removal and replacement of an 18in section of the lap joint, with a completion time of 8-16 hours.
Pending FAA approvals, Southwest anticipates returning four of the five aircraft to service on 9 April, with one aircraft remaining in previously scheduled maintenance.
Southwest has no repair update for the aircraft involved in the incident at this time, but N632SW has been released from the onsite investigation by the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
Southwest states that Boeing asked operators of 737 Classics with line numbers 2553 and 3132 inclusive, which were delivered between 1993 and the end of the Classic's production run in 2000, with above 30,000 cycles to inspect certain lap joints.
"Although Southwest does operate a small number of 737-500 aircraft, the FAA's Airworthiness Directive focuses on a particular set of 737-500 airplanes which are not included in the Southwest fleet," the carrier states.
Continental has previously told ATI its 32 737-500s are newer models with less than 25,000 cycles.

Photography Exhibition
Twyn Yr Odyn photographer Roy Carr has spent the last year developing a documentary project on sheep farming, taking an interest in the Cynon Valley where he has worked with three farms.
He has charted key events in the farming year: lambing, shearing, hay making, 'dipping', selling and winter grazing, capturing the interaction between people and their animals as he tells the story of a farming year.
There is an intimacy about his photographs which comes from the relationship he developed with the people working the land, providing an insight into their work.
Roy explained that this posed challenges:
"I come from a landscape background. I spent hours carefully composing an image and waiting for the light. It was a slow, meditative process as I tried to communicate my connection to, and passion for the outdoors. People hardly ever featured in these photographs.
Here people are central. I wanted to capture them and their way of life, so I had to look for them and get to know them. My people skills were important as I was making photographs in their homes and they could ask me to leave.
I moved from a very slow, deliberate approach to being much more spontaneous, responding to the action in front of me. Still, the patience I had learned in landscape photography proved useful as I waited for people or animals to come into a space which had the potential to create an interesting image.
I relished the idea of creating a body of photographs and the project has gone in different directions as it progressed. In part this is because I started from a position of ignorance. As I learned about what the farmers did and how they did it, there new possibilities."
This project features in an exhibition at the Cynon Valley Museum in Aberdare (open Tuesday to Saturday 10am until 4pm) running from 15th June until 14th July. He will also be displaying some of his landscapes.
Roy will be giving a walk-through talk about the exhibition at 2pm on each of the Saturdays that the exhibition is on. The Cynon Valley Museum is on Depot Road (next to Tesco), Aberdare, CF44 8DL, telephone 01685 886729. He can be contacted at roycarr6 @gmail.com

Weekend in NYC: Day Three
I'm so glad you're all enjoying my little NYC recap!
Sunday morning Beren and I got up early, took advantage of the free breakfast at the hotel (I had a banana and my Jenny Craig cereal bar) and took a leisurely stroll down Lexington Ave. This part of town houses an abundance of Indian restaurants and even at that time of day the air was heavy with the scent of curry. Yummy!
Since Beren loves the Hard Rock Cafe and collects glasses from each location we visit, we decided to zip on over to Times Square and get that task out of the way. Unfortunately, since we arrived before noon he was not able to enjoy a beer inside his glass before purchasing it. Damn! We forget that some cities have that silly no-booze-for-breakfast-on-Sunday rule, never thought NYC would be one of them! Oh, well, we packed up our empty glass and away we went.
By this time we were getting kinda hungry and I heard pizza calling my name. So, off to Little Italy we went! There was a 30 minute wait for Lombardi's so we explored the area a bit until our name was called. Oh. My. God. The pizza was just as good as I remembered from our last visit!
My brother arrived just in time to help finish off the pie, perfect timing and no leftovers to carry around the city! Two slices of this deliciousness, worth every bit of walking needed to work it off!
Since it was now after noon and Beren was hankering for a beer, we took a nice long walk to McSorley's, a pub he'd read about. Apparently we hit the after-church crowd because this place was packed already! We each had two small pints and off we went.
We arrived back in Long Island with just enough time to change clothes and freshen up before the highlight of the day - dinner with the infamous Allan of Almost Gastric Bypass! We met Allan and his lovely wife Sue at his favorite Italian restaurant, Mio Posto. Joining us was another lovely blogger friend, Jacquie from Can't Wait to Lose It with the Band and her husband Steve. Allan had promised us a "real" Italian feast and he delivered! I am amazed at the willpower I exhibited by turning down the bread basket and the pasta, and we won't even discuss the dessert! Take a peek at his blog if you want to see pics but suffice it to say it was a heavenly meal! The company was great, food to die for, an all-around perfect evening. Thanks, Allan!
One quick nightcap at the local Ale House before climbing into bed, tired and content. Steps logged: 15,033 which is equivalent to about 7.11 miles.
One more day in NYC to share! Have a Beauty-Full Day,

We used to have strange alcohol restrictions here in the UK. Those went out the window though with the introduction of 24h drinking.ReplyDelete
The "after-church crowd" made me giggle. I have a vision of people sitting in church, worshipping their god with devotion, while simultaneously checking their watches and licking their lips. Perhaps one or two even took a hip flask to get them through the sermon :p
Glad you had a great trip to NYC :)
This is too cool! You are meeting all my favourite poeple! Sounds like a great trip, glad you are having funReplyDelete
Words can not express how much fun I had with you guys. Thanks so much for coming. We will do it again very soon...ReplyDelete
Looks like you had a great time getting together and sharing words in person versus the net. That pizza, looks so good. It aint looking like a good Chicago slice, but still it looks good!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Allan! Let us know when you're coming to Florida for a visit. ;)ReplyDelete
Thank you, Lesley!ReplyDelete
Mark, lol, wouldn't church be much more pleasant under those conditions? ;) Hey, Jesus drank wine, right?ReplyDelete
Patrick, I've never had a really good Chicago style pizza, you know a place? ;)ReplyDelete

Build Systems to Grow Smart
What are business systems? Simply put, they are tools, protocols, or workflows that allow your business to operate without your direct involvement.
In the case of Mike's passive income anatomy course (pages 177–78), students automatically receive access to the files after making a purchase. They also receive an email confirmation, which serves as a receipt and reminds them where they can go to start studying. If the students didn't get access automatically, Mike would have to manually send each one a message whenever he received an order—an inefficient process for everyone involved.
You might not be able to build a completely automated business, and you might not want to—if you're doing client work, for example, you'll still need to spend time with clients. The point is that the more systems you build, the less time you'll spend doing the same tasks over and over. Also, if you choose to grow the business at some point, systems will be key in allowing you to serve more customers.

It's a penis, alright. A great big walloping penis. I love Shunga prints, especially the ones done by the "masters". All those elaborate patterns, and amongst all the detail....oh my! Why is that octopus having it's way with that young lady, & more too the point, why does she appear to be enjoying it (not shown)? Well, when it came to Pillow Books, the Japanese were not shy, & they were hundreds of years ahead of their time (The Joy of Sex seems pretty tame by comparison). Gotta love those tightly curled toes. OH!
i like how you noticed the toes!
You cracked me up with the do not tweet this! I love the importance placed on the genitals. Everyone was well endowed.
i can see by your name that you are a person of high rank and i can only murmur 谢谢.
yes, and... so they liked to think.
ROFLOL! Yes, it's a penis by gum and every guy has one. Unfortunately between the male ego (my pi-pi is bigger than your pi-pi) and our societies hypocrisy, it's a right fine mess.
tee hee. and as what's'r name's always said, and so it goes. linda ellerbee.
hi, and thanks so much for stopping by. i spend all too much time thinking my own thoughts about this stuff, so please tell me yours. i thrive on the exchange!

I firmly believe that cultivating a healthy, harmonious, flourishing spirit "ecosystem" is more or less the same as cultivating a biological one. It requires certain things in order to thrive. Energy and "elements", predators, prey, and decomposers are all important parts of the whole system. In a small, semi-closed, newish ecosystem (like an apartment), the magician has to supply most of those things, at least in the beginning.
In a biological ecosystem, energy enters primarily in the form of sunlight, and that's one way it enters a spiritual ecosystem too. However, most of the "spiritual" energy in an apartment is generated by the people (biologically). Music/sound is another GREAT way to add energy, as are fire, light and etc. While I don't really understand the exact way it works, there's clearly some relationship between the "energy" that spirits need and actual "physics class" energy. Anyone who's noticed how fast batteries drain or tea goes cold in the presence of active evocation knows that.
The "materia" that a spiritual ecosystem needs are by far the most confusing for me. I don't really understand why spirits want physical food, but it's clear they do. In my experience, it's the "caloric" aspect of food offerings spirits really crave. Fat, sugar, alcohol...maybe spirits are just really into the citric acid cycle? (It's been a LONG time since biochem, so sorry if that wasn't right) In my experience, while different spirits have their favorites, you can't really go wrong with an offering of grain covered in oil and honey. No wonder IHOPs are always haunted! ;)
There are lots of kinds of spirits, and I think a "good" spirit ecology has all of them:
- "Shining Ones", radiating energy in from the cosmos. I think other people would mostly call these Big-G Gods, angels, saints, and celestials.
- "Wandering Ones", who circulate the energy, stirring it, creating currents and eddies, "cross pollinating" things. These are the (non-solar, non-saturnine) planetary spirits, egregores, little-g gods, fairies, elementals, djinn that kind of stuff.
- "Rooted Spirits" like ancestors and land spirits help to hold everything together the way the ground-cover plants prevent erosion. People (both human and other personality/ego-having spirits) are a kind of rooted spirit, and we play an important role, tending, creating, curating and moving things around.
- "Hungry Spirits", like ghosts and shadows and demons. These guys have a bad rep, but they keep things circulating, and keep egregoric spirits (including people!) from getting too "puffed up". Like anything else, it's not ok to let them get out of balance.
- Death Spirits, cool and cold and clear and sharp, cut strings. I mostly work with Ereshkigal, who tells me that, before she was the Queen of the Dead, she was Flint, the first knife.
- Finally, the Cthonic spirits, who make their home within the earth, in the moist dark places, are the decomposers. Baphomet is GREAT for this. I get the feeling that's really his whole schtick; he completes the cycle of life. I also work with a giant black crocodile named Marathustra. PM me, and I'll tell you a bunch of stuff about him that I don't want to share with strangers. These recycle all the "goo" and spiritual waste. I'm not sure what other people call it. Mushroom spirits are also good at this.
Now, there are also specific roles you need in an artificial spirit ecosystem (artificial systems can eventually "naturalize", but it takes a years and years. Possibly generations.) The most important ones I can think of right now are:
- The Producer. This is probably you. Because artificial spirt ecologies are VERY spirit dense compared to "normal" places, the system isn't anywhere near being energy self-sufficient. Someone/something has to consistently add energy. The easiest way to do that is with regular offerings of light, sound, food, and attention.
- The Distributor. You probably aren't going to make offerings to each spirit by name. If you can do that, there aren't enough spirits! :) (Disclaimer: Many people, including most of my teachers, strongly disagree with this sentence. Lots of people like their home to be clean and zen-like in its spiritual simplicity. YMMV) You need to charge a spirit to take your offerings and distribute them to each individual spirit, giving to each what it needs/wants/likes. I use "The Wet Egg" for this. Other great choices are any god whose mythology includes the phrase "knows the name of every god" like Hermes, Isis, or Old One-Eye (whose name I will not speak. He knows what he did.)
- "The Doorman". This is a spirit to keep regulate who comes in and out. Not a "Guardian", but just a spirit who knows who is coming and who is going. Threshold gods. Master Doorkeep.
- "The Bouncer". Someone who can run off anyone who needs to get gone. Dragons and warriors.

This piece originally ran on Righteous Anger.
I walked by my bookcase today and picked up Susan Faludi's Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women. It was written in the days of Bush the Father and Reagan. It was a big influence on me at the time. I remember how Bill Clinton was elected after that, and we were told it would be all better. You remember, "Don't stop thinkin' about tomorrow…"
Then, we had Clinton signing into law "welfare reform" and making his wife look like a fool on the grand public stage. Go, Democrats, y'all.
I think I finally came to the realization that the Democrats would never be an answer to the problems faced by the poor, minorities or women when Clinton was in office. Before that, I had focused my hatred on the Republicans and Bush's wars. But how was Clinton better? In fact, he had a more negative impact on my life than Bush ever did.
At the time Clinton climbed into bed with the right-wing to paint the poor as unworthy, I was enrolled fulltime at University of Arizona and my husband was working the same fulltime job he's held since he was 15. Our daughter was about five, so childcare was very important. My education would be our way out of poverty, but Clinton and both political parties wouldn't have it. As soon as Arizona had the excuse of "welfare reform", they ended childcare subsidies for poor students. Apparently, the so-called Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 had this effect on many Americans, because it had never been allowed before. We were living on less than $12,000 a year. There was no way in hell we could afford childcare for me to go to school. So, I had to quit. It would be another ten years before I finally got my degree, and it came at great expense. U of A had penalized me for quitting in the middle of a semester, so I had to go to an over-priced technical school. That left huge, huge student loan debt that we're still drowning under today. Thanks, Bill.

RICHMOND, Va. � A half-dozen congressmen from the Carolinas and Virginia are urging Interior Secretary Sally Jewel to use "extreme caution" when considering any proposals for oil and gas exploration in Atlantic waters.
The letter is intended to counter appeals from Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and the governors from North Carolina and South Carolina. They support exploration of energy resources on the Outer Continental Shelf. Virginia's two congressmen embraced the same policy last week.
The six congressmen, however, wrote that the U.S. should pursue an energy policy that supports alternative energy sources and one that does not pose a threat to the environment.
The congressmen are Virginia's Robert C. "Bobby" Scott, Jim Moran and Gerald E. Connolly; South Carolina's James E. Clyburn; and North Carolina's David Price and Melvin L. Watt.

Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale claimed he could yet return to Tottenham Hotspur at some stage in the future after admitting the club will "always have a place in my heart".
The Wales international joined Madrid for a reported world-record fee of £85m in the summer of 2013 and enjoyed a stellar first season, winning the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, scoring decisively in both finals.
But despite settling into life in La Liga, Bale has made the stunning revelation that he could yet return to Tottenham given his special relationship with the club.
"The fans have been unbelievable with me," Bale said. "They've supported me through the bad times and believed in me and I'll never forget the great European nights at White Hart Lane. They were amazing.
"Tottenham will always have a place in my heart. I hope the fans still love me even though I've moved on. I hope they understand that obviously Real Madrid is a massive, massive club and that they respect my decision.
"From the moment Real Madrid put the offer in it was obviously difficult. [Tottenham] was somewhere I felt so comfortable and so happy - it was difficult to leave but when Real Madrid come in it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"I love all the Tottenham fans and hopefully one day, you never know, I could be back."
The news will come as a shock to many Spurs fans, who after seeing Bale join the club he idolised as a youngster had all but given up hope of seeing the 25-year-old return to north London.
Bale's impressive start to life at Real has been in stark contrast to the injury-ravaged start to his Spurs career, which saw him feature in 24 successive league matches without being on the winning side.
"In a way I probably was a little bit too soft," he added. "It's kind of surreal when you first come to Tottenham and you're there with all the big players.
"I moved there when I was 17 and when Harry came in I started to really grow up. I think he definitely helped me mature as a person and a player by giving me a kick up the arse now and again!
"I think every player needs it sometimes, especially when you're younger – you need to be put in your place and shown you need to work hard and he definitely did that. From that day I tried not to go down and not to play with my hair too much!"

The 2016 edition of NFPA 11 Standard for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion Foam is now available. Here are 8 important changes that are worth noting.
#1) Manufacturers are now required to publish acceptable ranges of density (or specific gravity), pH, refractive index, and viscosity for the foam concentrates that they produce. These values are intended to be used by laboratories to establish pass/fail criteria for annual quality testing. Because this information has not been consistently available in the past, laboratories have been required to make assumptions about the appropriate tolerances. To further support the measurement of foam quality, new definitions for "film formation" and "spreading coefficient" were also added.
#2) The suction inlet in an atmospheric concentrate storage tank must be located a minimum of 25.4 mm (1 in.) above the bottom of the tank. This creates a settling basin to reduce the risk of sediment entering the system. The volume of foam concentrate located below the inlet is not considered to be usable and cannot be counted as part of the minimum foam supply.
#3) The system piping section has been reorganized to clearly indicate separate requirements for foam concentrate and foam solution. The options for foam solution piping materials have been expanded to permit non-galvanized pipe, while ensuring compatibility of the pipe material with the foam solution.
#4) The allowance to provide seal-only protection for outdoor covered (internal) floating roof tanks has been extended to certain composite floating roofs that have been deemed to provide similar performance to metallic roofs. The specific roof features are considered adequate to resist burn through and/or submergence of the roof, in the event of a fire.
#5) Chapter 8 has been expanded to identify key components of system plans, including new details for hydraulic calculations and water supply graph sheets. The list of information to be included, as appropriate, has increased from 13 items to 33.
#6) Valves and hose connections must be installed to facilitate testing of proportioning equipment. Although certain acceptance and maintenance tests are required by Chapters 11 and 12, the standard did not previously include an installation requirement to provide a means of conducting these tests.
#7) The requirements for acceptance testing now include a water supply test and an operational test of control valves. A sample Material and Test Certificate was also added to Annex A to provide a means of documenting the acceptance test results.
#8) Descriptions of new foam proportioning test methods that do not require the discharge of foam concentrate were added to Annex D. Chapter 12 already supported alternative test methods, but specific test descriptions or procedures were not provided.

Police officers have a duty to protect the public. However, there have been multiple instances that have come to light recently when a police officer harms members of the public while in the purported overall pursuit of maintaining order. While police officers deserve our respect, if an officer acts in a negligent or reckless manner while on patrol, and that negligence or recklessness results in injuries to members of the public, the victims may be able to sue for money damages.
In September 2011, the Occupy Wall Street Movement was in its infancy. Protestors took to the streets for a variety of social justice issues, the most common issue being income inequality.
Six protestors have since sued New York City, alleging that the City improperly handled the protests. They claim that they were unnecessarily attacked by police officers with pepper spray. The former protesters claim that they were standing peacefully in the street when a police officer used pepper spray against them for no apparent reason. This episode was captured on video and this alleged police brutality propelled the movement into the international spotlight.
The officer's police union argued that he acted out of concern for public safety and that his actions actually prevented further injuries. He has not been charged with any crime, but was found to have violated police department polices. He was docked ten vacation days, as a result.
Now, the City has agreed to pay these six protestors a total of $332,500. Each protestor will receive between $52,500 and $60,000 for the pain and suffering they experienced at the hands of city police officers.
According to the lawyers who represented the six protestors, Mark Taylor and Aymen Aboushi, the lawsuit was not simply about collecting money damages. They hope that the lawsuits will raise increased public awareness about police brutality and will pressure the New York Police Department to change some of their policies.
According to CBS News, this is not the first lawsuit filed by former Occupy Wall Street protesters. The city has reached other settlements regarding wrongful arrests of protesters. Furthermore, the owners of Zuccotti Park, where many of the protests were based, settled with claimants who alleged that a private book collection was destroyed when the park was cleared in November 2011.
If you or a loved one has suffered injuries because of the negligence or recklessness of another, please call 617-787-3700 now to speak with one of our expert Massachusetts personal injury lawyers or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Journey called Life
|Image Source
I travel on this journey called life,
A journey I started alone.
I began with nothing in my hand,
And I'm sure in the end nothing I'll hold.
Each day holds something special,
The best gift I've is today.
I wonder what is in store for me today,
Will I achieve something great in life?
What is it that'll make my life special?
Will I be able to handle it all alone?
Will I be strong to face the challenges today will hold?
Can I face it all with no one to hold my hand?
Like the grains of sand falling through my hand,
Time flies and I wonder what I've done today!
Though a lot of things around, nothing I hold.
For I'm not sure where it is going to lead me in life.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't alone,
Wish there was a someone special.
Everything seems ordinary, nothing special,
As routine walks through pulling along my hand.
I feel maybe I was better off alone!
Did I make every moment count today?
Or did I just waste the precious moments of life?
Will routine through this journey, my hand hold?
There are things I've to let go and not hold,
I've to make my life count, make it special.
Today may be the last day of my life,
I don't have all the time in my hand.
It is I who has to make the best of today,
For I walk alone.
But when I look around, I realize I'm not always alone,
There are memories that I can make and hopes and dream I can hold!
I may fall, crawl, run or fly today,
But in my own way I'll make it special.
The keys of my fate may not be in my hand,
But I'll be the best I can for it is my life.
Though my life's difficult, I'll find strength to face it alone,
A helping hand I'll offer, perhaps there'll be one which I can hold.
I'll make this journey special, beginning today!

I travel on this journey called life,
A journey I started alone.
I began with nothing in my hand,
And I'm sure in the end nothing I'll hold.
🙂 Very simply put, but a true fact. We can live in today, even make the routine special if need be. Leave memories that everyone will remember once we leave with nothing in our hand.
Life is, in a very profound sense, a solitary journey. We are all alone the most of the time. We are alone with our own problems. We are all souls picking our way through a complicated, deceptive, treacherous world. A world of lie and deceit, injustice and cruelty. Even those closest to us are foreigners. No man really understands us and few care. Only God knows, understands, and can help us. We each have our own unique set of abilities and inabilities, strengths and weaknesses, our own set of life circumstances. Each of us has been dealt a hand of cards. We must each play the hand we have been dealt. We must each look to our own needs, our own good. We can trust no one else to seek our own good. We all make our own choices, choose our own paths. We react, we respond, we act, we do. We make our judgments, we decide, we choose. We develop attitudes, outlooks, values, habits and kinds of conduct that will come to characterize our lives. We choose our friends, we choose our ways. And, in turn, life gives us back the consequences of those choices that we have made, those ways we have chosen.

I want to remember these days. In our cozy nook on a seemingly quiet street. It's not always so quiet. When I found you existed in our small bathroom and I immediately thanked Jesus a thousand times. The way a bad day is still beautiful because you give me hope. The hot summer days we took our dogs for a walk, then sat in the backyard, my belly bare and daddy in his boxers, hose in between our feet blasting on mist to cool down. I want to remember the way you kick when your daddy prays, when I sing a song to the Father, and when our favorite Pastor preaches at church. The times we aren't sure how we'll make it, but we always do. Standing in front of the mirror, breaking down to tears over everything and nothing. Your daddies arms are the hero and wrap me in from behind, reminding me that everything is well. You are weaving in my womb, and so all is well. And I want to remember to always ask Father, to never let us despise these days of small beginnings. One day we'll look back and laugh at these days, cry for these days back. Oh sweet love, these are the days I want to always remember. The beginnings of you.
Preparing a Place
It's been a while. A year ago a few spiritual leaders had given me almost the same word, at different times, in different states. That I am strong. I have a voice. I shouldn't be afraid to say the words in my heart. But I had hurt in my heart from the unfulfilled. Maybe I had been walking that out. Maybe I had been trying to release the things I thought should be mine in my time and maybe I'd been trying to do it in my own power.
I don't know what changed in my heart. I don't know if it was the pastor in the old church that asked me to trust Jesus, just for a year, or the never ending forgiveness and love in my husbands eyes. I don't know if it was a mix of it all. But somewhere in between, I learned to exhale the dirt and inhale His promise. Hang on to things that matter and let go of things that don't. Things that we worry too much about and things that we neglect. So I've been throwing things away. Clutter, clothes, useless feelings, things I've let make home in my mind for too long. I've been reading Ecclesiastes. I've been breathing in fresh air and exhaling all of the smoke. Been saying words out loud instead of stuffing them deep into a journal.
And the Lord had been preparing my heart all along for what's here and what's to come.
We've been painting a crib and changing table that was given to us for our baby boy. I'm keen on making sure my love doesn't miss any spots so it's perfect for him. Preparing a perfect safe haven for when he arrives.
He's growing and forming and with each passing day his body becomes stronger. He has no idea of what's to come in a few short months. That his peaceful life in his mama's womb is just the beginning. It's taken some time, but soon he will be ready to venture out into a bigger world. And the dark, safe place he knows right now will be incomparable to the vibrant colors and love and adventure awaiting him. I've been preparing a place.
I've come to know the Father in these ways. The way He prepares us for new things ahead, makes us a little bit stronger day by day for what's ahead. As we are living life, unaware of all the ways He is perfectly preparing our future for us. I've come to know the Father's love deeper as I fall more in love with this little lamb whose face I have yet to see. When his kicks grow stronger and I'm filled with excitement, I imagine God's same excitement when He watches us grow and overcome. Because we will be all the more ready for what is to come next.
I told my husband at the end of 2015 I felt it in my spirit that the Lord was preparing us for change. For things to end so greater things could come to life. At first I became anxious and wanted it all to happen right then, but God needed to prepare us. Grow us and heal us to launch us into what's to come. It's not all unfolded yet but I see it coming to life. And I used to feel afraid to leave what's safe and familiar but I'm not so scared anymore. He's preparing a place in the distance and allowing us to grow stronger in the meantime.
Dreams will come true. New life in all aspects will be born. Our faith will be stronger than it has been in the past. Day by day. It's Heaven and it's now. He's preparing a place.
The Kind Of Man That I Am
" Even if I never believed in Heaven. No matter the circumstances, I would fight for you. I would honor my vows, I would love you still you, because that's the kind of man that I am. "
You're the good kind of man, the one who can confess unshakeable love over your easily shaken wife. You're the steadfast man. The one who is foundation, even through the storm.
And when the past sweeps in like a tidal wave, you are the lighthouse, calling me back to shore.
And when I confess all of my shame, eyes to the floor in the midst of my broken, your soft gaze assures me that, "we're not all that different." It seems as though no matter what I have done, you are ready to love me through it.
You're the man that cleans up the mess your tornado of a wife leaves behind. When life gets messy and busy and loud, you are sure to never leave me behind.
And even when I had been so unloveable, that morning I got home from work you had flowers and chocolate and a card waiting. It was Sweetest Day, and I had forgotten. But you knew. I smiled and forgot why I was mad.
Remember our first year, we lived in a 36 foot long motor home with our dog, thinking we were going to travel this land, but your wife's ever changing mind realized closet space just wasn't big enough. So within a month God provided a beautiful home in the country owned by Jesus loving people. And I still believe it was so God could really meet us there, could pull me out of the pit. He changed so much out there in the country. I asked Him to go away but He wouldn't ever go too far. Remember how we wanted to sell that motor home, thinking it would take awhile, but it was sold right away? And I spent some money and took up scrap booking. You let me get a kitten that first year and we learned love is a fight.
Year two came by the ocean. It was hard and we both cried. Year two came and you learned the well of my soul. I thought this would be the end of it, but you loved me more for it. You learned I'm dramatic and I'm always thinking more than I'm saying and that I long to be a mamma. I learned that you're willing to go the extra mile and unafraid to say the words that are hard to find and the love you give is a reflection of Jesus. And we spent some money on a real nice camera, 'cause I was gonna get serious about that photography stuff. You let me get a fish that second year, our cat ate him soon after, and we learned love is sweet.
We hit year three in salty air. It's true we weren't sure if we would make it at times. Well, you knew we'd make it but it seemed like sometimes I'd made up my mind. Many times I wouldn't say a thing but you knew by then the well of my soul overflowed. I wouldn't say a thing so you would wait for me, to find courage. And you were always gentle. Many times I would run my mouth but you knew by now that I was just trying to get under skin. So you pull me in. Love me more. Even after how many times I've slammed the door, you pull me in. I crashed the car and you smashed your phone. I'm hard to love but you come easy. We're still unpacking all of the luggage I forgot to mention I'd bring. But you don't mind, you say 'take your time.' We've cried a lot but laughed more. And I spent more money and took up crocheting. Oh, and bath bombs. So there's an unfinished scrap book, a really dusty camera in the closet somewhere, and an unfinished scarf waiting in the corner. You laugh when I mention a new hobby but you go along with it anyway. You let me get a puppy this third year, and we learned that Jesus is the core of love. You already had known that, but you walked with me through the valley to get to that truth, anyways.
You never give up on me. Always pushing me. Standing like a rock when I throw the hard truth of my faults in your face. And when I think that God couldn't be this good of a God, that someone like me doesn't deserve someone as good as you, you continue to show me real Jesus love. You continue to draw me in closer and deeper to His love. That the past is rotten manna. And today is so much better.
Thank you for being you. For worshiping our Father so unashamed. Never changing for anyone, even when they treat you bad. You are sincerely the most genuine, non-judgemental, kind-hearted human I have ever met. Thank you for showing me our Fathers love everyday. Thank you for living out exactly who you proclaim to be. For showing me that we can live life chasing Jesus while being exactly who we are, despite what the "norm" is said to be, despite the looks we receive. Thank you for sticking it out with me. For being my anchor. I love you. And the kind of man that you are.
When He Calls You Sweetness
In the golden hour I remember to trust You. The busy of the day retires. Families walk hand in hand to their homes. The beating sun sinks low. It reflects the hues of gold, and I know. Let go. Of heavy traffic that made me late. Irritation that rolled off of tongue. The trouble I seem to get myself into. The way I can't seem to keep myself out. Of this world. The way this world tuned out who I am. And I Am. He reminds me, in the golden hour. Of who I am. Created to be. He calls me by name, Sweetness. Singing Love over me. Singing hope into me. The way my bones begin to breathe again. Because dust falls and gold reflects and grace is like a gift too expensive to accept. Gold lingers and there's no roof to this mercy. There's no roof so the rain pours in over me. Washes clean the skin that felt so dirty from the day. From the nights before. From every moment I've lost myself and forgotten who I am. Heaven touches earth and sky paints gold like honey. Then Jesus. I think of the cross and all that I have laid upon it. I think of His hands, how hard I have hit into them. I think of His eyes and I just can't look into them. Not after this. Not again. And how much more can the Father take from me? How much more burden can the Father carry for me? He leads me to the garden of my heart and He sits with me at the table. Tells me the story about love that is strong enough. Mercy that is deep enough. Heaven that is sweet enough. He says, oh darling you are sweet enough. And for a moment I remember me. The real me. The one He sees. For a moment heart breaks and love fills and time stands still. And it's almost too much to bear. Almost too much to believe that someone did this all for me.
In the golden hour you recognize who you are. The day begins to fade. Grace pours out and mercy flows in. And I'm standing in His love, more than overwhelmed, on the receiving end.
Unfulfilled Desires & The Morning Light
Sunday my heart hurt as I walked into August with unfulfilled desires that I thought God said were coming true now. As I stood there in church during worship, I remembered what I thought I heard and my chest felt heavy with the unfulfilled. With the desires in heart that I've been clinging to. And I remembered the way July has just sucked. Both my husbands uncle and grandma passed away in a span of 3 weeks. Along with a gloom over my heart and no fulfilled desires and the way marriage can sometimes feel like a burden more than the blessing. Dishes pile in sink and I love you's are forgotten. Like the heat wave it brought, July lit the fire of testing over our life.
My natural reaction is to clench fists, harden heart, put up walls. But I don't want to be the woman who only holds on to praise in the good times. In the times that everything is fulfilled. I don't want to be the woman who only releases clenched fists when I can see the road ahead.
We stood in church on Sunday, and though I remembered what I thought I lacked, though for a moment I allowed myself to feel the lie of being deeply alone in this, I closed my eyes and heard His gospel. Eyes closed with unclenched fists, He invaded broken heart and He took the pieces and held them close. He saw who I really was on Sunday, passed fake smiles and clammy hands in fear that they might see what I'm really feeling. Passed the wall and the bitterness and the way I lost my temper the night before. The way I couldn't comfort the sad eyes of my husband for a moment.
I close my eyes and the gospel sings and wraps me close. Reminds me that I don't have to be the clenched fist woman when the testing arises. When July brings heat and death and the unfulfilled. Gospel sings and Father comforts and Jesus brings the joy that is mine. So like a thief I quickly consume it all. Hurting heart that slowly mends in gospel.
I write down desires and plans with Father and I trust Him with hope in heart. And today my devotions said to take it slow, as if He knows. He knows. So we take it slow, say a prayer, walk our dogs down the quiet road. We laugh because love is sweet like He said it would be. Like He promised it could be. Fulfilled. And death doesn't sting in the morning. Memory is good in the morning. I swear we ran into every elderly man in town this morning. Conversation like we are old friends. It's August and it's slow and we remember who we are. We believe in who we are. In the One who slowed down life, at least for this morning.
Birds sing, flowers bloom, coffee brews, pups snooze. We begin again. All is well in the land of milk and honey this morning.
Favorite Books From the Last Year
I love to read. It's not something I've had to grow into, I've always loved to read. I remember in the first grade our teacher held up a sign and asked us to read it. As my 7 year old peers were still sounding it out, I belted "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!". The rest of the class chimed in halfway through, but I sat with pride knowing that this was my "thing". Words. Books. Reading. Sounding out made up words.
But anyway. People have been asking me for book suggestions. So here are some books that have stuck with me within the last year.
"So Long, Insecurity. you've been a bad friend to us." Beth Moore
I LOVE THIS BOOK. I LOVE BETH MOORE. This was the first book I ever read by her, and let me tell you.. Every word she writes is gold. I was reading this book while going through a tough time spiritually, emotionally and physically. I will forever recommend this book to every woman I know. And man. I don't care who you are. Read this book. But be prepared to dig deep, emotionally. Be even more prepared for a huge spiritual breakthrough. She has you take steps of facing and confronting current/past junk that you might not even know is there. She walks with you step by step through the process of TRUE freedom. If you are only interested in getting one book off my list, stop right here. Read no further. This is your book.
"Wild Goose Chase" Mark Batterson
This book makes you want to go out and get stuff done. He takes you on a journey with the Holy Spirit, and bringing the adventurer out from within you. It's about trusting the Holy Spirit without an agenda.
"The Pioneer Woman. Black Heels to Tractor Wheels." Ree Drummond
This book is just straight up funny. My mother-in-law gifted me this book and I read it in 4 days and literally laughed the whole way through. The author writes about her hilarious relationship with her husband, from single-hood to having babies. If you like romantic-comedies then read this book. If you are also looking for a good cookbook LOOK HERS UP. YUM.
"Love Does" Bob Goff
SO FUN. If I could pick two author friends it would definitely be Bob Goff and Beth Moore. This dude rides a skateboard to work everyday! Pretty much if you want to be inspired to JUST DO, this is the book for you. It is funny and makes you want to give all of your stuff away and hop on a plane to some place and LOVE on others.
"Captivating" John & Stasi Eldredge
This book was mailed to me from a friend, and I'm so thankful I have friends who speak my love language. The authors are husband and wife, and go through the fall of Adam and Eve to a woman's heart. Together they touch base on what we need as women to thrive and what men need to thrive, as well. They give you a refreshing perspective of the war waged over our feminine soul and how we can declare victory over it. I like this book because it not only gives a woman's point of view, but also from a man's.
"The Antelope In The Living Room" Melanie Shankle
This. Book. Is. Hilarious. I want to be this authors best friend for ever. If you like funny people and laughing with (at) other women's marriage stories and their cray cray husbands weird antics, read this. She not only gives the humorous side of marriage, but also gets a little serious in how we grow and work together as a couple. Love her.
"Wilderness Skills For Women" Marian Jordan
If you like the wilderness, and if you've ever been through a "wilderness season", grab this. I like this book because it literally gave me insight on a morning I needed it the most. The author writes about unfulfilled desires and what we can do with them. And I know we all can use a little help with that. (Don't mind the chewed edges of this book, our new puppy is really rude.)
"Speak" Nish Weiseth
I love hearing peoples life stories. I love the way one tells of their journey and how they got to where they are. What made this person who they are. I love someone who can be vulnerable, raw and unafraid to do so. The author encourages us to SPEAK from an unmasked heart, because that is where we can really reach out to others hearts.
"Multiply" Francis Chan
As Christians it is our job to disciple. This book is meaty and good for those who are seeking deeper knowledge and taking steps to start.
Undaunted by Christine Caine
God Loves Ugly by Christa Black Gifford
Jesus Is_ by Judah Smith
"Nobody's Cuter Than You" Melanie Shankle
//You can grab any of these at Amazon.com//
Where Shore Meets the Sea
I hold on to things. I'm by no means a hoarder, but I definitely still have "Babs", the stuffed-dog I got when I was two. (And I definitely still sleep with her, my husband has accepted this.) I hold on to memories and love and pain all the same. Like stepping away from relationships. All of those years I held knuckle-white tight. And learning to be independent and who I am as this person God created. If we let them, people will shape us into a shadow of ourselves, and when they leave we can't recognize our own reflections. Sometimes we have moments where we have to choose whether to remain stuck in the waiting for change to hopefully come or we have to take the leap to reach change now.
I get lost in my own mind sometimes and relive moments with my grandma, I still have her number saved in my phone as if I could call her whenever I want to. I get lost in her memory and her goodness and her love for Jesus. I wish she could see me loving Him, too, the way she always prayed I would. I remember the night she made her way to Heaven and I wasn't sure how any of us would continue to live. How would we make it without her? But tomorrow came and we had to choose to move with it. I'm so thankful I finally chose to move with it.
We walked down the beach tonight and there was a young boy with his mother, and I think of my child. I think of the way his memory used to be shut away, too painful, always taunting by the enemy. And I think of the way God has redeemed it, so beautiful, so thankful I can talk about it. He would be big enough to run alone and play in the ocean and laugh and talk with me about who knows what. It hurts for a moment but I think of Heaven immediately and the setting sun behind us. And I smile. I'm full of joy in heart at the thought. How much greater is it all on his side of Heaven?
And a year ago I couldn't face this. The pain of growth and releasing of hands and moving forward. But sometimes God works in our time, when it comes to matters of the heart. He doesn't rush our wounds to heal and He doesn't push us when we aren't ready. Because He knows it's not easy being us. He came down on earth as one of us. He knows life can be ugly and burdens can be heavy and this bed seems far too safe compared to the world outside of our window. He knows people die and fathers leave and relationships end. He knows results come back a devastatingly positive and the rain seems never-ending. And so he doesn't push us, but encourages us, that yes, the pain in your heart may be overwhelming some days but there is a sunset over the ocean painted just for you that he doesn't want you to miss. Just a sunset over the ocean that can help our feet to move forward, even if it's just one small step at a time.
And what's on the other side of moving forward has been so worth getting out of bed. So worth the releasing of hands. So worth all-in trusting Jesus. So I will leave my pains right here, where the shore meets the sea. I will let it wash away with each wave. Because although there is pain, God is still good, the sunset is still so beautiful, and Heaven is surely worth it all.
It's Okay to Stay
I thought by now maybe we'd be somewhere new. Somewhere broke down on the side of the road in the motor home we bought three years ago that's now probably been sold a time or two since we sold it last fall. I've spent time wondering maybe if I didn't miss some turns then maybe we'd be somewhere far from here by now. But we're still here, in our hometown.
Sometimes you're called away but sometimes you're called to stay. Just stay. And when you're gone from everything, all that you know, in a new town and new faces, new street signs and stop lights, it takes all that you have to be brave. Brave to step on the new sidewalk outside of your new house. Brave to re-memorize where the closest Tim Horton's is on the corner (you pray to God there's a Tim Horton's). Brave to say hello to new faces. To start over again. And that's always viewed as honorable. You've made it, right? Getting out of your hometown. But sometimes you're asked to stay. Stay planted in the familiar. You don't have to use that old GPS in the center counsel because you've drove down Michigan Avenue a million times or two since you were a kid. Seeing a familiar face every time you go to the store and it all feels like home. A different memory at every red light floods your mind as your car comes to a stop. When did it become such a bad thing to say you've lived here all your life? When did it get written in the rules that we have to leave in order to really have lived? Sometimes life's missed when we're so busy saving up for the next bus ticket out.
Yes, it can be brave to leave, to start over where nobody knows your name, but it also takes courage when we are asked to stay. Invest love and life right where your roots are planted. In the familiar. In the faces who already know you. What you have done in your past and the mistakes you have made. It's brave to to pick up and start again, right where you are.
Sometimes we're asked to pack up our things and invest in a new place. But sometimes we're asked to just stay.
Fear is a Liar
When was a time you felt most scared? What was it over? How much did you allow that fear to dictate your life? Did you triumph over it or are you still allowing fear to whisper lies to you in the dark?
Fear is a liar, and if we accept these lies we remain chained to it. I won't forget the way these lies slowly crept into my mind. The fear of being honest about who I am and the path I have walked took over my life so much that I shut off and shut down. I believed that there was no way I could be honest about how I felt or that I could be my true self, because fear told me it was absolutely impossible. Fear told me that everything I've ever done in my past was too ugly, and too unforgivable, that no one would understand. Fear took away my self-worth. Fear took away my potential. Fear took away my voice. The enemy oppressed me with so much fear because he feared who I was created to be. His mission was to paralyze me in this fear, and I believed him when he said, "This is it. This is all God has for you." A life of a shell of myself and that God could never use me because of my past. I believed fear when it said that I could not overcome. I believed fear when it said that healing is too hard, and that a life lived out for The Lord was not possible for me. I was listening to fears loud voice so much that it tuned out The Lords still, small voice telling me I am. I can. I will. Fear began to scream louder in my face the more God spoke gently to my heart. When fear told me I'm not worth fighting for, Yahweh said I'm worth dying for. When fear told me I can't trust in God, El Roi said with Him I can move mountains. When fear told me I won't overcome, El Shaddai said I will be victorious.
Fear is a liar and the enemy fights the worst fight to keep us there. When we are so captivated in fear then it's hard for God to use us. When we eat the lies fear feeds us then everything God has for us is tainted. I challenge you right now, today, to take a fear in your life and call it out. Like a bully that's been taunting you, stand up for yourself and push it back. You will see that it's not as tough as it appears to be when you just take the first step. There is victory and light that comes from breaking the chain of fear and leaving it in the dark. God promises that we are, we can and we will.
Handing Over the Keys to the Cellars of Our Souls
Every one of us walking on this earth have a few cobwebs in the corners of our souls. Maybe your mom once told you not to have any cookies before dinner but they were so enticing that you ate one anyway when she left the room. A cobweb forms. Maybe you told a "white lie" to your best friend because it feels easier than facing the truth. Another cobweb forms.
But maybe you have a cellar in the basement of your soul. It's dead bolted and has a million and one locks just to ensure that no one gets in. Maybe it's been there for so long that the cobwebs have become so thick. It's even formed mildew so not even you want to touch it. The enemy guards that cellar with his strongest forces. He wants to make sure no light shines through. He wants that cellar in your soul to remain hopeless. Impossible to open. And he wants to continue to torment you with it.
He wants you to believe that if anyone knew what was locked inside then they would abandoned you. That they would disown you and be disgusted with you. He wants you to believe that you are the only one who has done what you've done or what has been done to you. That no one can relate, understand or help. Let me tell you that that is a lie from the deepest, fieriest pit of hell. Whatever has happened to you in this life, whatever is chained inside your cellar, there are over 7 billion people in this world, you are not the only one. It's impossible. God says there is nothing new under the sun. Although it feels like it, you aren't the first and you won't be the last.
God didn't create our bodies for cellars in our souls. We are not capable of keeping them there long enough without going crazy. Without forming some kind of destructive behavior. What is that one thing you're holding on to that hinders you from reading your bible more? What is it that stops you from growing deeper in your faith? You may veer off course a little bit, and for some of us a lot a bit. You may have junk in your cellar that no one could have ever imagined. But God knows. No matter how well you believe you've fooled everyone else, God knows. He sees your cellar. Down to your deepest wound, and He mourns for you.
You may believe that nobody else in this world could ever know how you feel or how much your cellar has made you suffer, but God knows. And He wants to brush away the cobwebs. He wants you to hand over the lock and key and allow Him to free you. You might be thinking, "Well He's God, why doesn't He just take it from me and do it Himself?" He's a gentle God. He's a patient God. He's a God who gave us free will to choose to remain under the weight of the enemy's thumb or choose to bring it all to His feet and say, "Okay, Lord. I can't carry this on my own anymore. I need a Savior. I need you to carry this for me." And He will. And He already has when He had His only Son drink the cup of our sins and taste the bitterness of all the filth we have ever done. His son Jesus, the Savior of you and I, who carried it all and was nailed on the cross so we could be free to willingly choose to hand over the keys of our cellars to God, and let it all go.
Enough is enough, have you had enough? Are you ready to hand over the keys?
When you call on me, when you pray to Me, I'll listen. When you come looking for Me you'll find me. When you want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed. I'll turn things around for you. I'll bring you home again, you can count on it.
Jeremiah 29

Two-thirds of the world can't pass this financial literacy test. Can you? You don't need a calculator, just 3-5 minutes of time.
Risk Diversification: Suppose you have some money to invest. Is it safer to put your money into one business, piece of real estate or investment or to put your money into multiple businesses or investments?
a)One business, piece of real estate or investment
b)Multiple businesses, pieces of real estate or investments
Inflation: Suppose over the next 10 years, the cost of things you buy including housing, food, taxes and health care and all others double. If your income also doubles, will you be able to buy less than you can buy today, the same as you can buy today, or more than you can buy today?
b)The same
Mathematics: Suppose you need to borrow $100 for one year. Which is the lower amount to pay back: $105 or $100 plus 3% interest?
b)$100 plus 3% interest
Compound Interest: Suppose you put money into a bank and the bank agreed to pay 3% interest per year to your account. Will the bank add more money to your account in the second year than the first year, or will it add the same amount of money for both years?
a)The same
Compound Interest II: Now suppose you have $100 to invest in a (very aggressive) bank who will pay you 5% interest per year. How much money will you have in your account in 5 years if you do not remove any of the principal or earned interest from the account?
a)Exactly $125
b)More than $125
c)Less than $125
Pretty simple, right. The answer is b for all. We're sure our regular DWM blog readers got them all right.
Across the world, however, the 150,000 people who took the test didn't do so well. Two-thirds of them answered at least 2 of the 5 questions incorrectly. The survey pointed out some key findings. Norway has the greatest share of financially literate people worldwide. Canada, the UK, the Netherlands and Germany also finished in the top 10. The U.S. didn't.
In the Emerging Market countries, like China, India, Brazil and Russia, the young people, ages 15 to 35 were the most financially literate. Apparently the kids in Shanghai "knocked the cover off the ball" (just like George Springer of the Astros).
So, what's the takeaway? Financial literacy for Americans could use improvement. In addition, as we pointed out in our blog two weeks ago highlighting Nobel Prize winner Richard Thaler, people, even if they are financially literate, can make systematically irrational decisions. This means you may need a financial coach and advocate. That's what we are for our DWM clients. Whether it's professional investment management, financial decisions and planning, income tax planning, insurance and estate planning matters, we provide our financial literacy, rational analysis and proactive solutions and suggestions. It's our expertise and our passion. At DWM, this is how we hit home runs!

A onestop shop for you at the rly station
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd (IRCTC) is planning to set up one-stop food stores in railway stations across India by June this year.
And here's the best part. Bangalore will be the first city to have such a facility. "Passengers have to go stall-hopping for colas, snacks and books. We are trying to integrate stalls scattered across stations into six to seven large format stores where passengers can buy everything under one roof," IRCTC chief regional manager (South Western Zone) S Gagarin said on the sidelines of the CII 9th annual tourism summit. IRCTC is also trying to rope in KFC and McDonald's for standalone outlets at the stations.
With 85 percent of IRCTC's revenue coming from the food segment, Gagarin expects the kitty to grow with the plan. IRCTC is also planning to roll out fast food joints across nine stations in Karnataka —Bangalore City, Shimoga, Hassan, Bellary, Dharwad.

Author Colin Koenig announces the release of his second book, "Major Wager: The Pure Round of Golf Jack Challenged Tiger To" is now available through Amazon.com.
Bridgeport, CT, USA -- It's 1997 and golf legend Jack Nicklaus watched the riveting new star, Tiger Woods, destroy the competition at the Masters. When Woods declares his goal is to beat Nicklaus' 18 major golf titles, that gets Nicklaus wondering. Does the kid have what it takes?
What if Jack Nicklaus challenged Tiger Woods to a totally private round of golf? Just the two of them?
Following this exciting premise, author Colin Koenig crafted together a fictional match between golf's greats that carries an 18-hole round of golf through an entire book. Major Wager (The Pure Round of Golf Jack challenged Tiger To) is that tale, and is now available through Amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/Major-Wager-Round-Challenged-Tiger/dp/1518748562/182-6638860-8750045).
Nicklaus wants to play the round at Augusta National, home of The Masters. But can he arrange it? What about keeping a low profile? Would they not use their caddies, and even carry their own golf clubs? And not tell their families? It would be just them----two men meeting to play a round of golf...but it turns into so much more.
With witty dialogue and vivid imagery, Koenig creates a round of golf that will never be forgotten. Taking into account the age difference and the character of each man, he brings their personalities to life on the course. With human touches: "Tiger took off his cap, which was drenched with sweat. He wanted a new one," and inside glimpses into their minds: "(Jack) was beginning to feel a bit nervous about what he was going to propose to Tiger, and the fear of rejection was something Jack Nicklaus was unaccustomed to." The book reads like a Sports Illustrated story.
The story answers questions every golf enthusiast has probably asked:
• What would happen if the two pros golfed one-on-one?
• What would they talk about?
• What's going on inside their heads as they play?
• Stripped of their entourage and away from the public intrusion of the cameras, can these legends of golf play a round like two normal guys?
A long-time sports enthusiast, Koenig reveals what he thinks the answers to those questions are in a fast-paced narrative that will keep readers turning pages. It's definitely a match that would have made history, had anyone known about it. One reviewer, Grady Harp, a Top 100 Amazon Reviewer, said this about the book. "Colin supplies a jet-propelled adventure on a golf course that reads so well that it vies with any mystery or thriller on the shelf."
Major Wager: The Pure Round of Golf Jack Challenged Tiger To (ISBN 978-1518748561, 2015, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. Paperback $9.75, 140 pages. Kindle $6.50. Available on Amazon.)

Today is a very special day. One of my mom's very best and oldest friends has a milestone birthday to celebrate! My sister and I have known this spectacular woman for as long as we can remember. She is one of the biggest fans of this blog endeavor of mine. She is probably the first to read my latest recipe, always asking my mom, "Have you seen Colby's post today?!" The continued support means the world. So, I would like to give her a birthday surprise and dedicate this one to her! 🙂
I know my mom and the rest of their lady group will be dining together this evening, so I thought I would try a recipe that I know she would love even though I can't be there to make it for all of them. If you've been following this blog at all, you know I'm an avid salmon eater, and so is Patricia! In the past I have always cooked salmon on the grill or in the oven, but I saw a recipe in Women's Health Magazine that peaked my interest: poached salmon in olive oil. And let me tell you, it is definitely worthy of a birthday dinner. Quick, healthy, affordable, and with an air of fancy.
You'll need:
- Water
- Salt
- 6 oz. salmon fillet (per person). I got mine for $6 at Whole Foods because yes, we are nomming on a budget.
- 1 lemon
- 1 garlic clove
- Bottle of extra-virgin olive oil. The cheapest you can get is probably $8 but the rich flavor is worth it.
In a large bowl, whisk together a cup of water and 1/8 cup salt per fillet. Add fillet and soak for 4 minutes. Remove and pat dry.
In a large skillet, squeeze half a lemon's worth of juice. Mince and add garlic clove (you can add as much garlic as you are prone to enjoying; for me that means a whole clove). Fill the skillet with enough olive oil to cover the fillet. Try and use good-quality oil for the poaching, as the fish will pick up some of it's flavor. Heat on medium until a food thermometer reads about 125 degrees. I do not possess such an instrument, so I kept the oil at a robust simmer and didn't let it get close to boiling (which is 212 degrees). Add the fillet and cook until internal temperature reaches 115 to 145 degrees. I maintained the aggressive simmer, and did so for 12 minutes exactly.
Remove fillet to a wire rack to drain for a few minutes. I again do not have this kitchen accessory, so I simply kept the fish on a perforated spatula over a plate so the oil could drip down (#cookinghacks). Serve with a lemon wedge and some greens (or any side of your choosing!). I went with sauteed spinach and tomatoes, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
Look at the pretty golden skin! Apparently this is because the "deep poach", unlike frying, does not allow the liquid to get near boiling.
Frankly, I was nervous to cut the fish open and see if it had actually cooked. But look! Proof that it is a perfectly medium-rare and flaky fish.
Patricia, I hope you enjoy your day and get to celebrate with lots of laughter and love! Feel free to try this new salmon recipe, and let me know how you like it!
