Some like it hot – especially the 20,000 people making their way to the town of Espelette in the Pyrénées-Orientales today. This weekend the town is hosting the fête au piment.
This celebration of the variety of chilli pepper that is cultivated locally is now in its 47th year. Since its inception in 1968, the festival has become more and more popular – and is now one of the biggest in the region.
Espelette pepper is deep red in colour and has a mild, smoky flavour. It is usually sold in powdered form and is more reminiscent of paprika than of, say, piri piri. The condiment has become a staple of the local Basque diet and is generally used as a replacement for black pepper on dining tables in the area.
As you might expect, there will be plenty of opportunities to taste piment d'Espelette during the course of the celebrations this weekend.
Locals have been preparing for the event for over a month. They began drying the local chilli peppers in September by stringing them together into festoons and leaving them outside to dry on balconies, gates and gutters.
"Locals began drying the peppers in September by stringing them together into festoons and leaving them outside"
As ever, the town will also crown if not Miss Piment, then certainly Madame Piment. 70-year-old Nicole Larroque will collect her prize on Sunday. Her family moved to the town back in the 1600s – at around the same time that the chilli pepper was introduced to the area from Mexico.
If you want to spice up your life, you know where to be today.

The Sadness Of Flo Rida: Part 2
To see part 1 of this analysis, bravely click here.
Where we last left Flo, he was a broken man, pushed to the edge of his limits by heartbreak and addiction, both to the "jump" and "the club." Our own instincts told us to reach out and to lend him a hand in his struggles, but the only person that could help Mr. Rida was himself. All we can do is watch, and hope. On the wings of glory, will Flo soar like a mythic phoenix? Or will he become a shadow of himself, destined to have Tila Tequila feature on his songs, all the while attempting an experimental rock album.
Club Can't Handle Me
"…Stuntin go wild can't handle this plan
Life of the club, arrogant like yeah!
Top like money, all the girls just melt…"
As we can see, Flo returns to the place he finds most familiar, and most comforting. He claims to be "arrogant" but we all know the truth: he is only hurting like yeah. Many times, after a harsh break-up, men will attempt to hook up with as many girls as possible, in order to rebound from the loss. Here, Flo refuses to pick one girl to be the object of his affection. They melt around him. They crave his illusion of stability, and can't get past their lust and greed enough to see that he is a broken man.
"…Fall out 'cause that's the business…"
Except it isn't really the fault of the business. It's you. You can't blame your demons on the game, Flo. He searches desperately for the reason behind his torment and has chosen his profession, like a soldier who blames the war for his stress and emotional problems. The rap world is a battlefield, and sadly, Flo Rida is on the losing side.
"…Scream out I'm in the building (hey)…"
As we mentioned in the previous article, he craves attention. However, he usually uses his money and God-given talent to get it. Now, he's reduced to yelling in a probably crowded, loud club that he's there. On the surface, he just wants to be noticed, but, if you look deeper, he just wants to be loved.
"…They watchin,' I know this…"
Do they really see YOU, though? They know Flo, the mega star, but what about Flo, the man? We all have needs, but how long will he ignore them?
"…The club can't even handle me right now.
Hey, Still feelin' myself, I'm like outta control.
Can't stop now, more shots, lets go.
Ten more rounds, can I get a KO…"
The club, as we know it, has gone from being a locale to something more intangible. It represents all of Flo's flaws and misconceptions about humanity. It controls him, guiding him like a devil on his shoulder. The part of his brain not yet taken by this delusion? It begs for release. It begs for a KO.
"…I am ladies man,
Come be my lady and
We can ball, so, ahhh…"
Ball so what, Flo? We know your troubled past with women. Can you not even bring yourself to speak of what might possibly happen when she finds the real you, the sobbing child, hiding underneath your sunglasses and chains?
Turn Around (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
"…Pop that, drop that
It's yo birthday
Top that, got that
Work for this stage
Stop that, lock that
Work it in place…"
Once again, Mr. Rida falls into objectifying women as objects that he can order around. She knows that it's not her real birthday, and that it's her who controls the flow of income. She can dance if she wants to. She has choices. But Flo is a celebrity and she feels compelled to indulge his misplaced urges. It's mutually destructive and can only lead to a meltdown.
Oh Oh"
A shallow lifestyle will only result in shallow lyrics. But should we be so quick to judge? The use of "mmm" and "oh oh" suggest that Flo is experiencing pleasure. But that would mean…
Perhaps our worries are unnecessary. Perhaps, in the arms of a woman who doesn't care, Flo is truly at peace. He doesn't want a white picket fence, and a dog and two kids. He just wants the women and the fame. Maybe we're wrong to judge him for that. Not everyone follows the stereotypical American dream.
Who Dat Girl
"She aint no rockstar, but she got groupies
She aint no actress, but she make movies
And when she strut that thing around
Everybody be breakin' they neck like
Who dat girl? Who dat girl? Who dat girl?
It's all becoming clear now. He's helping these girls. They live lives dedicated to the momentary pleasure that they derive from men's attention. They're made happy by Flo Rida's attentiveness. If only for a second, they're Flo Rida's woman. The use of a double negative "aint no" indicates that Flo actually thinks highly of these girls. He masks it in slang grammar, but he wants the women to feel good. They are "rockstars" and "actresses," at least in his eyes. There is a certain special feeling to be gotten from that. It takes a long time for our normal minds to accept it, but Flo's idea of happiness might not match up with ours.
Good Feeling
"I'll be the president one day…"
I'm sure you will be one day, Flo. I'm sure you will…
In the end, after psycho-analyzing the lyrics of Flo Rida, I discovered that the pain he was feeling, well, wasn't really pain at all. Because Flo Rida is not something that we can just dissect, like a very catchy, pop-rap frog on a table. He's something much more.
When it all comes down to it, Flo Rida is the club.
He's transcended the boundaries of normal man. He has become an idea, a metaphor for the way that fame and popularity can transform you. Perhaps he'll live forever. We can only wait to see. Until then, we can watch and consider ourselves forever curious, and, well, enlightened.

Top 3 Amazing X-Men #1 Spoilers: Where Is Nightcrawler, Who Are The Amazing X-Men & More? (All-New Marvel Now In Review)
I'm a pretty huge Nightcrawler fan from back in the day.
It seems that the new All-New Marvel Now ongoing series by writer Jason Aaron and artist Ed McGuinness opens with the Quest For Nightcrawler. The book shows promise.
It looks like Jason Aaron read this old chestnut (see right). 😉
Glad to see some of the olde 1980's mini-series' themes and concepts are being expounded on in 2013.
SPOILERS follow for Amazing X-Men #1. Please tread carefully.
(3) Where Is Nightcrawler? Did He Really Die?
Nightcrawler did in fact die. The book opens up on the plan of existence Nightcrawler currently is on. In my years of not reading Marvel Comics, I understand it was revealed that red-hued mutant-demon Azazel and blue-hued mutant-terrorist Mystique were Nightcrawler's parents. So, it looks like this opening arc will focus on Nightcrawler's daddy issues.
(2) Who Are the Amazing X-Men?
Looks like Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters has a blue Bampf problem. And a new X-Men team is formed to combat the little tykes! 😉
(1) What's Next?
It looks like we get an attack of Azazel's red bampfs with Nightcrawlers blue bampfs and all heck breaks loose! That culminates with two or more of the Amazing X-Men being transported to the ethereal plane Nightcrawler and Azazel are doing battle in!
Will Nightcrawler return the land of the living? I guess this arc will answer that question.
Thanks for reading. All feedback welcome. 🙂

I think when I pictured coming back to work everything would be on a smooth schedule.
I'd wake up refreshed, after Brooklyn slept through the night, in her crib, in her own room. I'd say bye to her and she'd give me a big smile and I'd head to work, excited to get a little me time again. I'd come home, excited to see her, play with her, read her a book before putting her to bed then having a little me time to eat dinner and relax before bed.
Monday I started work again. To say I was (am) a big ball of emotions is an understatement.
For one, I'm exhausted. Long story short, we determined a few weeks ago that Brooklyn has silent reflux. She started to refuse to eat – basically she would eat an ounce or two then scream bloody murder for an hour. It became alarming when it happened with every bottle, and worse when the ounces she was eating started to dwindle day by day. 5+ weeks of trial and error – doctor visits (including one amazing doctor at Children's hospital), medications, tears, and a lot of patience (i.e. keeping her elevated 30 minutes post eating and when sleeping, feeding her slowly and burping her lots), and we're in a better place (still not 100% but MUCH better). Anyway, because of this, she's still eating much smaller amounts more frequently – I'm talking practically newborn state again. I'm thankful that this is something she will grow out of and blessed that while it may be a tough few months, overall she's healthy.
Anyway, she's actually sleeping in our room, in our bed. She "goes" to sleep (on me/in my arms) around 8, up to eat again around 10:30, asleep around 11, up again at 2, asleep around 3, up again at 5 and sometimes back asleep, sometimes not. Meaning I'm averaging truthfully, about 5 hours of broken sleep a night.
So right now…this is a new day in the life…
2:00am – Brooklyn stirs. Quickly pick her up before she goes into full on screaming mode. Feed her 4 ounces. (This is usually the largest feed she'll take since she's half asleep. During the day we're still only getting 2-3 ounces in her at a time.)
2:40am – Lay Brooklyn back down after finishing bottle, burping her, holding her upright for at least 20 minutes.
3:00am – Finally drift back off to sleep.
4:30am – Stirring. Not sure if it's the medications or just the immaturity still of her digestive system but she writhes quite a bit in her sleep. Always wakes me up.
5:00am – Scream fest begins. Feed her another 2 ounces. Try to settle her but she just isn't settling.
5:45am – She finally drifts off. I contemplate sleeping another 20 minutes or just getting up. Try to lay down but all I can think about is work so I get up and shower.
6:00-7:20am – Shower, dry hair, get dressed, get Brooklyn's medications out, wash and fill bottles for my MIL who is taking care of her most afternoons once the Husband goes to work until we start a few days of daycare in June. Lay out clothes for her. Throw laundry in. Throw dishes in dishwasher. Drink coffee…x2
7:30am – Leave for train station. Cry en route. Strange mix of emotions – on one hand I love my job and it feels good to work again. But there's this inner struggle – I feel guilty for wanting to work. I feed sad for missing out on moments with Brooklyn. And really, I just plain miss her. I'm so overwhelmed with emotions and exhaustion that I wish I could just drive to a secluded island by myself.
7:50am – Train to the city.
8:40am – Starbucks en route to my office. Try to order a grande blonde roast, only twice it came out as a Blondey roast. Barista laughs at me and asks if I want a venti instead.
8:50am – Sit down at my desk..with my venti.
9:00-4:00ish – Work, work, work. Go into the bathroom and cry twice (hey I expected more!) Connect with other new moms at work and get confirmation that the first month is really hard and that's normal. Check in with my MIL a few times, ask for pictures. Hear all the new drama, get a crap ton of new work, and try to ease back in. There are moments where it just feels really good to be working again.
4:25pm – Train home. My manager leaves by 4 and comes in later than me so as long as I can, I plan on being efficient enough (I skip lunch anyway) to leave at the same time too.
5:15pm – Walk in the door and immediately grab my girl. Slightly heartbroken she doesn't seem more excited but I know 5pm starts her fussy time and at least I get a smile. (Also, I'm not sure what I'm expecting from a 14 week old, ha.)
5:30pm – Changed out of my work outfit, took Bentley outside and get updates from my MIL before she leaves.
5:45pm – Attempt to feed her, get only 2 ounces in and then she refuses more.
6:10pm – It's beautiful out so decide to take her on a quick stroller walk around the neighborhood for some fresh air. Chat with (at?) her the whole time – people must think I'm a nuts.
6:40pm – Come home, change her diaper and "read" a book (read to her while she laughs at me / looks around), tell her about my day.
7:15pm – Give her medication and draw a bath. She's in clingy mode so carry her around while doing all of this.
7:30pm – Tubby time! Sing her the tubby time song ("tubby time, tubbbby tubby tubby tubby time, time to wash all the yuckies away, it's the best part of the daaay" (Don't ask.) She truly loves tubby time and it actually is my favorite part of the day.
7:50pm – Get her in a clean diaper, put her in her jammies and settle her a bit. Carry her in one arm while eating pasta salad (my dinner) with one hand standing at the counter while Bentley begs at my feet.
8:15pm – She's hungry. This girl goes from 0-60. Warm a bottle while she starts to pant and panic.
8:35pm – Got 3.5 ounces in, not too bad. Burp burp burp. Sway sway sway.
8:50pm – Rock her / keep her upright.
9:00pm – Lay her in the rock-n-play (since it's more upright) and run around like a chicken with my head cut off. Pick out work outfit. Take out contacts. Go to the bathroom. Chug an emergen-c (fighting a cold). Brush teeth. Bring bottles up for nighttime feeds. Set up bedroom – nightlight, sound machine/fan. Give Bentley water/food.
9:12pm – She's awake…
9:15pm – Walking around while carrying her, trying to resettle her.
9:30pm – Husband gets home from work. He's had a really long day – court in the morning then a 9 hour shift.
10:00pm- Head to bed, with Brooklyn. Get about 1.5 ounces in her before calling it quits.
10:28pm – Last time I look at my phone before falling asleep…hoping for at least a 4 hour stretch. (Spoiler, I got about 3.5 hours)
Even though I'm exhausted, overwhelmed by emotions, sick (thanks Husband for this awful head cold), and life is just so different now…I love it. I really do. I mean I don't love all parts of it of course, but I love this little girl, I love our new expanded family, I love shaking up what was once our routine (we thought we were "busy" before…we sure watched a lot of tv) and I love how special everything feels now. I have learned pretty quickly that each phase/hard time/new normal with a baby passes quickly. The good ones and the bad. So as much as I'm a type A, need a schedule and routine and to do lists type, I think for a while I'm ok with just enjoying this roller-coaster of a time period.

Dilled Corn and Potato Salad. It's Weekend Herb Blogging time again, and as of this revised post, Kalyn of Kalyn's Kitchen is hosting the event. I gave myself a second challenge, to use mostly pantry ingredients. Costco deals seem to multiply in my pantry, in multipacks. What goes in, must come out as well, and it's best to have some tasty methods ready. The Dilled Corn and Potato salad used Green Giant Niblet corn and Paradise Valley Creamy Mash Potatoes (dehydrated) from my pantry. I paired the salad with more from the pantry, my mother's Salmon Cakes (with a kick) using tinned Kirkland Atlantic Salmon, other ingredients like Old Bay spice were in the cupboard as well. I also had some fresh dill on hand, my favorite herb. The more research I do, the more I see that dill seems to be very popular herb in Northern European countries. The recipes for tonight's dinner are:
Dilled Corn and Potato Salad
1 packet Paradise Valley Creamy Mash Potatoes*
2 cups water
1 cup whole milk
1 can, drained, Green Giant Niblets corn
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup Kewpie mayonnaise
Boil two cups of water and pour into a bowl containing the packet of dehydrated potatoes. Stir as you pour, and follow by stirring in 1 cup whole milk until well-blended. Refrigerate to cool down. When lukewarm, add corn, dill and mayonnaise and mix in. Cover, and chill to cool completely.
This dish goes well with seafood. Can also be served warm as a base for fish to be draped over. As a breakfast treat, you can also add a little flour and extra dill to the left overs and make potato pancakes, topped with a dollop of sour cream.
*The 4.8 oz packet says it makes 6 - 2/3 cup servings
Salmon Cakes
2 7-oz cans boneless & skinless salmon
1 egg
1 teaspoon Old Bay spice
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Olive Oil for frying
Break up salmon in a medium bowl, add egg and mix in. Add spice and garlic, mixing thoroughly, then add breadcrumbs. The mixture is rather crumbly, to hold it together better another egg may be added, but my family prefers more salmon and less filler. Pan fry on both sides in olive oil. Makes 8 small cakes.
This is my mother's recipe except for the Old Bay spice, which I think adds a nice kick to the taste. I discovered and fell in love with Old Bay when I lived in the metro DC area where Maryland and Virginia folk alike used this spice liberally with seafood.

Yeah!! I can leave a comment. Glad it is working. Both of these sound good. I first made salmon cakes with canned salmon when I started South Beach and I was surprised how much I like them. I didn't put Old Bay in mind, but love the idea of that. I see you're continuing your long-term relationship with dill. Good to know you're not the fickle type.

Everything She Touched..., the fifth album by Scott Herren under his Prefuse moniker, is comprised of discrete tracks sequenced disjunctively. Which begs the question: Why the hell would Herren think that this is a remotely good idea? If one accomplishment was to be singled out from Herren's first two albums—Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives and One Word Extinguisher, still his best work—it is the deftness with which diverse slabs of glitch-peppered instrumental hip-hop were weaved together fluidly. To completely eliminate those transitions from his aesthetic, thereby discarding any cohesion or thematic consistency, is to do away with one of the most inspired touchstones of Prefuse 73's music.
Perhaps the reason behind this quixotic decision was to present himself with a new challenge—to try and string together increasingly disparate tracks. But then, as with his last album, Preparations, Everything She Touched… is desperately in need of an editor, or at least someone unafraid of deleting inchoate compositions. The first seven tracks, "Periodic Measurements of Infrequent Smiles" to "Sexual Fantasy Scale," all clock in at a minute or less, with no apparent logical sequence. A more patient listener might strain to internalise this section, but it's difficult to fathom it not being an invariably fruitless effort.
The album isn't entirely innocuous, though. Of the 29 selections, nine are in the two-to-five minute range, resembling actual, belabored songs, the majority of which fall in line with Prefuse's most venerable work. "Regato"'s breezy acoustic guitar, spectral sighs and slight digital dissonance is reminiscent of Herren's material as Savath & Savalas—forming the nearest imaginable equivalent to laptop Tropicália. "Simple Loop Choir" speaks for itself, except that the loop slowly dissolves, like a William Basinski piece in fast forward. And "Preparation's Kids Choir" would have fit right in on One Word Extinguisher, its cultivated microskronk flashing hard drive-thru beats and assorted computerised noises.
Ultimately, though, the songs are brief gusts of wind amid the frequent nausea of recycled airplane oxygen. If Herren is to try and further fracture his music again, here's hoping for some fresh air.

Like I have been saying all season long, I am so late with everything this year. I figured if you are having a year that has been anything like mine then you would appreciate an update on what is still going on for the holidays here in San Diego. I also, sprinkled in a few pictures of our Christmas decor. I hope you enjoy!
Grabbing a Starbucks and cruising around town to see lights are always a must for us. The best part about this holiday tradition is that it requires zero planning. Our favorite stops in our area are Candy Cane Lane in Poway (12612 Stoutwood St., Poway, CA 92064) and Christams Card Lane in Rancho Penasquitos (9106 Ellingham St, San Diego, CA 92129). If you are closer to the downtown area and looking for light viewing with a bit more involved, The Hotel Del Coronado (1500 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA 92118) does a whole display called DELights and it is pretty spectacular! In the north county coastal city of Encinitas, the San Diego Botanic Gardens (230 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas, CA 92024) have been completely transformed into a winter wonderland. It is a really fun time of year to visit the gardens but they are gorgeous year round as well.
Another favorite thing of mine to do during the holiday season is take in a play or two. My all time favorite for the family is How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park. This play is always very whimsical and done so well with a mixed cast of adults and kids. I mean, these kids are downright impressive. Side note: Kids under the age of three are only allowed to attend the 11 AM performances. We also love eating at the Prado in Balboa Park. The food is delicious, there is a great view and it is just a quick stroll over to the theater after. Tickets are still available for showtimes this week but they are a bit scarce so I would jump on it if I were you.
On friday we went to the Cygnet Theater to see A Christmas Carol and it was phenomenal. The cast was limited and they all played a bunch of parts which was incredibly impressive and seamless. If you have not seen this show here I highly recommend it.
If you are looking to fill an entire day The San Diego Zoo, Sea World and Legoland all do spectacular jobs on their Christmas decor and fun holiday spirit throughout the parks. They will definitely be busy this week, but what isn't busy around this time?
If you are still itching for a bit more Christmas fun once the day has actually come and gone, the Port of San Diego Holiday Bowl Parade is on December 27th at 10 AM. It is a nice event to bridge your holiday season between Christmas and New Year's Eve. It is full of marching bands, floats and has the largest installment of balloons in the nation.
I hope your day is as beautiful as you are!

About the Project
The planning division is working on the Central Kingston Growth Strategy – a policy and regulatory framework to guide infill and intensification in the central area of the city.
The study area for the strategy includes the lands within central Kingston designated residential in the Official Plan, except for those located within the North King's Town Secondary Plan and the Kingston Provincial Campus Secondary Plan:
The regulatory framework recommended by the Central Kingston Growth Strategy will be incorporated into the second draft of the new City-wide Zoning Bylaw, expected to be released in late 2019.
Some residential areas of central Kingston have experienced a significant amount of pressure for infill development over the years that has resulted in the construction of additions and the demolition of existing buildings for the construction of larger scale residential rebuilds and intensification through the conversion of a single-unit dwelling into a dwelling having two or more units. Such developments have raised public concern regarding their impact on the built form and character of the affected neighbourhoods.
Project phases
The project consists of three phases which will result in a set of final recommendations:
- Discovery: This includes an existing conditions analysis and developing an understanding of community preferences within the study area.
- Vision (options and recommendations): The second phase includes the preparation of draft urban design guidelines and 3D visualizations, an identification of potential intensification areas and the preparation of a draft servicing and infrastructure plan.
- Policy directions: This phase includes the preparation of draft Official Plan policy recommendations, draft zoning recommendations, and finalization of the urban design guidelines and the servicing and infrastructure plan.
Decision-making timeline
At the Jan.10, 2017 meeting, council directed staff to report back on Jan. 24 on how best to word an Interim Control Bylaw prohibiting any new development of, or alterations to, one-family dwellings, two-family dwellings, row dwellings, group dwellings, semi-detached dwellings and multiple family dwellings within the Sydenham, Portsmouth and Williamsville electoral districts.
The Information Report prepared by staff for the Jan. 24, 2017 council meeting detailed:
- the purpose of an interim control bylaw
- the land-use planning concerns and other issues identified by council and residents, a summary of previous studies conducted in relation to similar issues
- the existing Official Plan policies and proposed revisions in response to concerns heard through the 5-year Official Plan Update
- the existing zoning bylaws, the new City-wide Zoning Bylaw Update, the Near Campus Neighbourhoods Study
- a summary of legal considerations related to the passage of an Interim Control Bylaw
- a draft Interim Control Bylaw as directed by council
At its Jan. 24, 2017 meeting, council directed staff to undertake a land-use study of the City's existing policies and regulations on residential intensification within the same area and make recommendations addressing development and/or conversion pressures to guide the future of these areas. Council also asked that a public meeting be held to receive feedback from residents on the draft Interim Control Bylaw and other policy changes and report back to council with options/recommendations in April.
On Mar. 1, 2017, a public meeting was held to receive feedback on the draft Interim Control Bylaw.
On May 2, 2017, a Recommendation Report was provided to council that offered:
- a summary of the existing policy and regulatory framework
- the land-use planning concerns and other issues identified through the public consultation process on the draft Interim Control Bylaw
- the merits and limitations and risks of implementing an Interim Control Bylaw in the three electoral districts
- an alternative approach that included a number of short-term and long-term recommendations, including undertaking the Central Kingston Growth Strategy, to respond to the complexity of land use and other issues identified through the public consultation process
Council endorsed the staff recommendations at its May 2, 2017 meeting.
The terms of reference for the Central Kingston Growth Strategy were approved by council at its Aug. 8, 2017 meeting.
On December 5, 2017, Council approved the recommendations of Report Number 18-004 to award the contract for the Central Kingston Growth Strategy to a team of consultants led by WSP Canada Group Limited.

Our Lord's Eucharistic presence was and is His first sign of MERCY and LOVE.
Dear readers, below is a copied email that we received today from the Poor Clare Colettine's, Wales, UK. They have been part of our group of religious intercessors since we have been online… Please feel free to write them and get on their daily mailing list. They have beautiful reflections each day that will build your courage as a Catholic Christian. God bless!
The Casket of Saint Colette
Dear Little Hearts,
In response to the tears and pain of many mothers and those desiring to be mothers, we are inspired by the Holy Spirit to begin this new simple initiative. This casket will be placed upon the altar every Saturday at St. Colette's celebration and the praying of the (St. Colette) chaplet. This casket is for the names of unborn life that was lost through miscarriage, and for children who died in their early years. The names will not be read out in public, but will be placed in the casket for the community to pray over… the casket will be placed next to the relic veil of Saint Colette. If you have any names that you would like to send us, please do so, we are here for you.
Lovingly all your sisters
Prayer after loss of a Child
My Darling child, you have gone to Heaven to be eternally happy, and are now in the company of the Holy Innocents there. It was a thing hard for me to understand when you were taken from my arms, for parting with you has caused me grief that few can know. Yet in all my grief I am happy very happy for you, because I know the joy that is yours. Your joy is now my joy too, because I feel I had a part in bringing it to you. Now that you are in Heaven, I realize that you are mine in a truer sense than you could ever be on earth. I cannot lose you through sin. While parting with you was hard, I would not wish you back, because I know that you are happier than I could ever make you here with me. Help me, as you now can with your intercession, that I may be completely faithful to all my duties here on earth and merit to receive you again in eternal joys where there will be no more sorrow or parting from those we love. Amen
Prayers of a Mother
You are still my baby and will surely regard the prayers of your Mother who bore you. So darling, with confidence I speak to you. Intercede for me to obtain the favor that I here ask as a Mother through her child who stands before the throne of God. But, if what I ask is not according to the wisdom and loving designs of Almighty God for me and others, then ask Him to grant what is best according to His good pleasure and to give me the wisdom and faith to conform my will to HIS. AMEN
Poor Clare Colettines TMD

This devotion goes back to the Middle Ages but has gained new popularity following the Church-approved Marian apparitions in Kibeho, Rwanda in the 1980s. In her apparitions, Our Lady of Kibeho recommended that people pray the Chaplet (or Rosary) of the Seven Sorrows to obtain the favor of repentance.

Tommy Toy - Chinatown restaurateur dies at 72
Tommy Toy, the gracious and savvy San Francisco restaurateur who welcomed movie stars, statesmen and everyday folk with equal charm and hospitality, died Monday at a local hospital of complications from pneumonia. He was 72.
Mr. Toy - whose loyal patrons included Sen. Dianne Feinstein and former congressman and state Senate leader John Burton, filmmakers Francis Ford Coppola and Clint Eastwood and generations of San Franciscans out for a special evening - opened the elegant Tommy Toy's Cuisine Chinoise on Montgomery Street in 1985.
Mr. Toy began as a busboy in 1960 at the famous Imperial Palace on Grant Avenue and worked his way up to become manager and co-owner before closing it to open Tommy Toy's.
"Tommy was more than just a restaurateur, he was one of the characters of the city," said former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, a longtime friend and patron. "That was evidenced by how often his name appeared in Herb Caen's column."
Brown attended countless dinners, political fundraisers and parties at Mr. Toy's restaurants. Not only was the food superb, said Brown, recalling Mr. Toy's signature minced squab, Peking duck and the seafood bisque in a coconut shell, but "the presentation was spectacular, as artistic as any you could ever witness."
Mr. Toy, Brown added, was a charmer who catered to his customers and "was equally interested in what happened outside the restaurant, in what people were doing. He'd show up at political events, weddings, funerals, always resplendent, wearing a tuxedo or whatever."
Mr. Toy, said Wilkes Bashford, his haberdasher, "was a very outgoing person who made sure that everybody was fussed over, whether you were famous or not. Another piece of San Francisco history is gone."
Born in Guangchou, China, in 1935, Mr. Toy came to San Francisco by himself in 1957, speaking no English. Living with family friends, he attended Galileo High School and worked as a dishwasher. That's what he was doing at an inexpensive Grant Avenue restaurant called the On On when owner Joe Yuey and his partners turned the place into the fashionable Imperial Palace, the first Chinatown restaurant with a doorman.
After one of Yuey's partners, John Yu, died in 1966, the genial Mr. Toy was promoted from waiter to manager. Yu's son, Alon, joined the business and he and Mr. Toy became friends and partners for four decades.
"Tommy was a people person who introduced himself to every table, asked people where they were from. It was not superficial," Yu said. "His philosophy was you have to care of people, that there are good restaurants all over the city, but what sets you apart is how you recognize and treat people. He always told the staff to treat everyone like a VIP."
The Imperial Palace became a magnet for celebrities after Mr. Toy struck up a friendship in the 1960s with Columbia Pictures movie publicist Peter Bobela. It was Bobela, Yu recalled, who brought in Steve McQueen and held the cast party for the film "Bullitt" there. After that, word spread about the classy Chinatown restaurant with the good food and ingratiating host.
Over the years, scores of famous people found their way to the old Imperial Palace and Tommy Toy's - like Trader Vic's, a hangout for the city's well-heeled - and their visits were duly noted in the gossip and society columns.
"Actor Jason Robards showed up in the rain at Tommy Toy's restaurant," Herb Caen wrote in 1987, "croaking, 'Kirk sent me' (that would be Kirk Douglas), and was immediately given a warm welcome, infusions of hot food and a cold check."
Everyone from Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra to Mick Jagger, Mikhail Gorbachev, Walter Cronkite, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward dined at Mr. Toy's establishment, where their color pictures line the wall.
Burton was shocked to hear his old friend had died. He held many fundraisers and birthday parties in the Gold Room at Tommy Toy's, the opulent decor of which Mr. Toy, who had studied design at San Francisco City College, modeled on a Chinese empress' 19th century sitting room.
"Tommy was just a good guy, a wonderful guy who was a lot of fun," said Burton.
Feinstein goes back 30 years with Mr. Toy.
"He had a real gift for creating interesting dishes, serving them in an interesting way and exhibiting a spectacular personality," the senator said through an aide. "I was sorry to learn of this. He will be missed."
Mr. Toy is survived by his wife, Veronica, a son, Darrick, and a grandson, all of San Francisco. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Despite all the hype about hybrids, there are a number of cars that obtain great gas mileage without being a hybrid. These cars are not expensive to drive, and the owner does not have to worry about future repairs to the hybrid parts of the car. Here are some great examples.
Mazda 2
This sedan seats six adult passengers and has the handling to hug any turn. Designed with the sporty look of all Mazda cars, this version starts at a MSRP of $17,740. The Mazda 2 comes with an automatic transmission, runs on 87-octane fuel and gets about 40 mpg on the highway and 33 mpg in the city. The car comes with a 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder engine that generates 155 hp, which provides plenty of power when needed. The Mazda comes in a four door sedan or a hatchback model. If you want more info on this type of car Overland Park Mazda would be a pretty good resource to check out.
Hyundai Elantra
This is a smaller sedan by Hyundai. The Elantra features one of the most comfortable cabins in this class and includes easy to reach controls. The car comes with a 1.8 liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 145 hp with the standard manual transmission. Gas mileage is 27 in the city and 37 on the highway. This car with seat six, but the back seat lacks headroom for tall persons. The front seat, however, is quite comfortable for tall persons. This model also features the largest trunk in this class. The Elantra starts at an MSRP of $18,010.
Honda Civic
The Honda Civic has been redesigned for 2014 with a new interior and starts at an MSRP of $19,180. While this has been a popular car, customers felt the interior of the Civic was old and cramped. This is no longer true. Even a tall person will be comfortable in the back. However, to add room to the interior, the trunk or hatchback space has been reduced, the one drawback to this car. The Civic comes with a standard six speed automatic with a 1.8 liter 4-cylinder engine that puts out 143 hp. In the city this car achieves 30 mpg and on the highway achieves 39 mpg.
Ford Fiesta
The Ford Fiesta is Ford's entry in the small sedan class. This car is known for its quiet and stable ride along with its stylish interior. The Fiesta also has one of the most powerful engines in this class with a 2.0 Liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 160 hp. Priced with an MRSP of $17,635, this sedan still achieves 26 mpg in the city and 36 on this highway. The sedan comes with a manual transmission with an automatic an available option on the car.
Chevy Cruze
The Chevy Cruze is GM's entry into the small sedan market. This is a well-built car with one of the largest engines offered in this class. The 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine produces 138 HP makes the Cruze feel powerful. A small 1.8 liter version is also available. The Cruze had a two-tone interior that makes this lower end car look plush. Listed with an MRSP of $18,345 this sedan rates a five out of five on the government's safety tests. The Cruze comes with a manual transmission as standard and obtains 25 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.
All in all, there are some great, economical choices available in the non-hybrid car market.

Does vaginal seeding boost health?
Should Caesarean-section babies be smeared with a sample of their mothers vaginal fluids as soon as they are born?
"Vaginal seeding" is not mainstream medicine, but it is growing in popularity.
The idea is to give these newborns something they missed when they emerged into the world - the good bacteria that live in their mothers vagina.
A swab is taken of mums vaginal fluid, which is then rubbed on to her childs skin and mouth.
The hope is this microbial gift will boost their childs long-term health - particularly by reducing their risk of immune disorders.
It is a crucial time.
We might have been sterile in the womb, but in our first few moments of life an invisible bond is being established between baby and bacteria.
Its a relationship that will last a lifetime, and the first contact is as important as a first date.
"The first time a babys own immune system has to respond are to those first few bacteria," says Prof Peter Brocklehurst, from the University of Birmingham.
"That we believe is important for, in some way, setting the babys immune system."
There is a noticeable difference between the microbiomes - the collection of bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea - of babies born vaginally and by Caesarean section.
It lasts for about the first year of life.
A baby born vaginally is first exposed and colonised by microbes from their mothers vagina and gut.
But for Caesarean-section babies, the first exposure "if theyre lucky", says Prof Brocklehurst, comes from the very different organisms on their mothers skin.
He is running the Baby Biome Study to see if these different microbial colonists on Caesarean-section babies explain why they have higher rates of diseases such as asthma and allergies later in life.

Yep, it does sound funny to think 'spring break' when many of us still have snow on the ground!ReplyDelete
Yum, the ham sounds good. Haven't had ham in a while.
Oh, now that would be heaven for me and my hubs. A ham-tasting party. :)ReplyDelete
Love Smithfield! It's a great place!ReplyDelete

Toyota Auris Touring Sports details released
The first full hybrid C-segment estate car has been unveiled by Toyota, with CO2 emissions of just 86g/km.
Using compact lithium-ion battery technology the hybrid version of the Auris Touring Sports suffers no luggage capacity penalty in hybrid guise when compared to its conventionally-powered siblings.
The British-built load-lugger is 285mm longer than the hatchback on which it's based, but shares the same wheelbase and chassis dimensions. The extra length, which is all behind the rear wheels, gives a 530-litre boot capacity with the rear seats and luggage cover in place. Up to 1,658 litres is available with the 60/40-split rear seats folded flat.
Boosting practicality in the luggage area are a one-touch 'Easy-Flat' folding rear seat system, a dual-level boot floor and a two-way tonneau cover on all but the most basic model, plus a roller-type luggage net, shopping bag hooks, aluminium roof rails and a 12-volt power socket.
The load sill is set 10cm lower than in the hatchback, enabling easier loading and unloading whether the cargo is food shopping or furniture.
Full specifications are yet to be released, but some models will be available with a 'Skyview' panoramic glass roof panel measuring around 155cm by 96cm, which should flood the cabin with light.
The engine selection has been confirmed as the same seen in the hatchback, with 1.33- and 1.6-litre petrols, a 1.4-litre diesel and the full hybrid system that Toyota has made a staple of many of its car ranges.
The ultra-low emissions system pushes out 134bhp and propels the car to 62mph in 10.9 seconds, but is capable of well in excess of 60mpg in ideal conditions.
Fleet buyers will also like the diesel, with its key 109g/km emissions figure, while the 1.33 and 1.6 petrols record 127g/km and 139g/km respectively.
Prices will be confirmed closer to the Touring Sports' arrival in showrooms later in the year.

Rep. Joseph McNamara used fighting words – as did Mayor Allan Fung and Rep. Joseph Solomon Jr. – while helping to kick off the 54th annual Gaspee Days celebration Saturday at the gazebo in Pawtuxet Park.
All three characterized the Boston Tea Party of Dec. 16, 1773, as nothing more than vandalism, with the first act of defiance to the British crown being the burning of the schooner Gaspee on June 10, 1772.
They played to a friendly crowd, which cheered McNamara's account of how in pursuit of the colonial vessel Hannah – whose captain knew the local waters and of the shoal at Namquid Point – the Gaspee was lured on an ebb tide into the shallows where it ran aground. When word reached colonists, they set out in long boats and set the Gaspee ablaze.
"They did all of this without killing anyone," McNamara told the band that looked to be more colonial than citizens of the 21st century. Before him were the Pawtuxet Rangers in their bright red jackets and dozens of children wearing bonnets, skirts, ruffled shirts, hats and shirts that by today's measure would be considered drab, even scruffy. Students of Wyman and St. Peter Schools, they would be playing the roles of teachers, a judge, grave diggers, shop owners, a thief and homeowners during the village walking tour that followed the ceremony.
Looking at the students and Gaspee Days Committee president Ryan Giviens, McNamara said, "this is the future of the Gaspee Days Committee … go spread the truth across the country."
Fung and Solomon joined in heaping ridicule on Bostonians for laying claim for igniting the American Revolution when the first blow for freedom was really the burning of the Gaspee. They extolled how the Rangers have kept the residents of Pawtuxet safe and free from attack – on both sides of the river – all these years.
How could history have been so misconstrued?
"Look where those books were written – Boston," McNamara said to a round of laughs and at least one angry shout. Then he offered some practical advice before the students took their posts at homes throughout the village and tours assembled.
"Use sun screen and stay hydrated," he said.
The Gaspee celebration continues this Memorial Day weekend with the Arts & Crafts Festival. The Symphony in the Park concert followed by fireworks is Saturday, June 1. The Gaspee Days 5K Foot Race is the morning of Saturday, June 8, with the parade stepping off at 10 a.m. The celebration comes to a close the following day, June 9, with Sunday in the Park and the burning of a Gaspee replica.
these patriots would be cheering on the establishment if dey were arounds in the 1770

Drum, Drum, Drum! Hear that sound? That's the patriots coming to Yorktown, so you'd better surrender or prepare to die in a bloody way and wished you had surrendered. I am going to tell you guys about the Battle of Yorktown and how it helped the patriots win independence. The battle of Yorktown was one of the most important battles that had happened and made the war end.
The End of the War
George Washington the navy general found out from a spy that was spying on the British and said that the British were camping outside of Yorktown. George thought he could surround Yorktown. Now imagine how many men were needed to surround Yorktown. The french had decided to join forces with the patriots so they could help each other if the British wanted to spill blood. Now, why would the French help the patriots fight when it was not their war. The general of the french army was Lafayette and he planned how to surround Yorktown before they would leave. Think about how hard and how tired most of the french and patriot's were walking to Yorktown. The patriots did it to make sure the British did not leave. The patriots' barriers were on the south side and the french barriers were on the east and west side. Many troops were needed to make those barriers and also on the ships too. The french ships had to take out four British and a fort on the other island. Imagine all those troops that had died on those ships during the surprise attack. When the british found out that they were stuck in Yorktown the British had no choice but to surrender. Imagine how scared the British were when they saw the french and patriot's coming to surround them. The patriots had finally made the British surrender to them with the help of the french army.
The surrender
When the British had surrendered they had no choice but to tell king George about their surrender. How would you feel if you were king George? The British were so mad about losing to the patriots. Even the parliament was mad too. The British troops that were in Yorktown had to leave because it was not their town anymore it was the patriots' and french town. Imagine how many British soldiers were so mad that they had to surrender if you were one of them how would you feel if you were one of them? When the fighting was over all the patriot's were in joy about all the men that had risked their lives for their own colony. Now if you were a patriot and you made the British surrender to you how would you feel and how would you tell your family and friends? Most patriot troops did not have any training about war most of those soldiers were farmers or teenagers fighting in the war while the British had more experience about war than the colonies. Imagine all the wars that the British were in and how many wars did the colonies have. The parliament was so mad they thought they had one of the most brutal armies that no one has ever seen
After the war
Once the British surrendered that was the way how the patriots won for independence for the colonies.Imagine how the thirteen colonies felt when the patriots came back and told everyone what had happened. The king of England was so mad that his own army surrendered to the patriots. The parliament was mad also they thought they had the most brutal and dangerous armies. Now if you were the king and the parliament how would you feel if your army lost the war? The patriots had more soldiers than the British that were in Yorktown. Now if you were one of those patriots at a barrier how would you feel if they surrendered to you. The war was over after the surrender at Yorktown that gave all the colonies independence.
Now since I told you how important this war was at the end of the war the patriots joined the french army and together they made the British surrender to them both also when the British surrendered that was the biggest moment in history. Last but not least after the war the patriots and colonies all celebrated the win against the British that ended the revolutionary war.

Study Suggests 70-90 Per Cent Of Cancer Is Caused By Environmental Factors
Research has suggested that cancer is largely caused by environmental factors, not as a result of 'lack of luck' as previously thought.
A study published in January of this year had suggested that chance mutation was responsible for roughly two thirds of cancers, but new evidence has implied the complete opposite.
The latest research published by the Journal of Nature argues that cancers caused by 'luck' make up only about 10-30 per cent of the total suffered.
Stony Brook Cancer Centre in New York conducted the latest investigation and one of the lead doctors told the BBC that it is wrong to use luck as support of poor lifestyle choices.
Dr Yusuf Hannun said:
External factors play a big role, and people cannot hide behind bad luck.
They can't smoke and say it's bad luck if they have cancer.
It is like a revolver, intrinsic risk is one bullet.
And if playing Russian roulette, then maybe one in six will get cancer – that's the intrinsic bad luck.
Now, what a smoker does is add two or three more bullets to that revolver. And now, they pull the trigger."
There is still an element of luck as not every smoker gets cancer, but they have stacked the odds against them.
From a public health point of view, we want to remove as many bullets as possible from the chamber."
The never ending stream of conflicting studies as to what does and doesn't cause cancer will likely continue for years to come, so if you are concerned then try to be as healthy as you can, and if you have any specific worries contact a doctor.
