- Serve as a deterrent to the general populace
- Serve as a personal deterrent to individuals already in prison who might otherwise commit future crimes
- Punish the guilty (retribution or vengeance for the crime victim)
- Rehabilitate the criminal
- Protect the rest of the population (all of whom are without doubt angelic law abiding citizens) from the criminals
The effectiveness of a punishment does not rely on severity. The effectiveness relies on surety and immediacy. Consider the infamous red light camera for a minute. The way the red light camera system is supposed to work is pretty simple. If you run a red light a photo of your car (and license plate) is taken and a few weeks later you (the owner of the car) receive a bill for some significant amount of money from your local government. To avoid having to pay this, don't run the light. You'd think this would eliminate the problem of people running the red light, but it doesn't eliminate it entirely. People still run the light, and they do so because this behavior produces an immediate reward – they don't have to wait in traffic. I note that the punishment is not immediate, but it is sure and as a result the number of people running the red light in question is drastically reduced. Now then, in the case of violent crime punishable by death, the punishment is a very long way from being immediate. A prisoner can sit on death row for well over ten years before finally being executed. It isn't sure, either. Criminals who commit premeditated violent crime never believe that they'll be caught much less put to death. I wouldn't believe that the thought of punishment enters into the minds of spontaneous perpetrators either.
As I stated at the start of this little exertion in literary excellence, I support the death penalty. I subscribe to the idea that there are people in this world who do not deserve to live their life to a stately conclusion somewhere in their August years. In order to get the death deserving SOB from the county lock up to the firing squad in a relatively short time with an accurate guilty verdict will require a change in our legal system, and I'm fully aware that this is an understatement.
If the alleged perpetrator is found guilty at court and sentenced to death, rather than going through the usual appeal and stalling for time process that everyone endures today, just take the SOB out back and shoot him. Okay, frustration got the better of me there.
What is needed is a special panel of five judges whose job it is to:
- Ascertain that there is absolutely no possibility for an erroneous verdict.
- Make certain that the condemned is fit for execution. Executing minors, mentally ill people or the mentally retarded is not allowed.
If our five judges cannot unanimously declare that these conditions cannot be met, the sentence is changed from death by execution to life in prison without parole.
Should the panel of five change the sentence to life in prison, the various appeals in our cumbersome system can slowly fall into place as usual, and in 30 years or so the criminal will know for sure whether or not he'll spend the rest of his life in the poky. Alternately, if the condemned is still scheduled to become a useful part of the local landfill, the entire appeal process gets put on a fast track, meaning that other cases and supposedly oh-so-important business of the court can take a back seat until the fate of this prisoner is resolved. The goal here is to eliminate the lingering stay on death row as well as providing some sense of immediacy.
While I, personally, and in my own infinite wisdom believe this system would work better than the one we have, I don't believe for a second that any of these changes will ever come to pass or that, if the system were changed, violent crime would be reduced, which is supposedly one of the primary goals of criminal punishment. To reduce crime the system must provide immediate consequences every time the crime is committed.
Ask Officer Friendly how many criminals he has actually caught red-handed (excluding drunks) and the answer will most often be none. This is due to a phenomenon commonly referred to as the halo effect. The potential criminal sees Officer Friendly and adjusts his or her behavior so as to avoid arrest and subsequent detention by the State – immediately and absolutely. Ask Officer Friendly how much crime he has prevented, and the real answer is that he doesn't know, but we hope quite a bit. Were I to guess, I'd suspect that the officers presence has prevented a lot of crime, but no one will ever know for sure. The problem with this is obvious: the police can't be everywhere at once.
The real resolution here is to arm the citizens and encourage self-defense, but for reasons that have never been clear to me the mere thought of most people carrying a pistol causes widespread panic. An armed population does provide an effective deterrent to crime, as evidenced by crime statistics in any State that has permitted the carrying of a concealed weapon where such activity had previously been prohibited. Likewise the act of self-defense has often been criticized by law enforcement officers as "taking the law into your own hands", although just what is wrong with that idea escapes me. I would suppose that I'm out of step with main stream society.
Returning to the two fictional women I created in Part 1 who are from opposite ends of the socioeconomic spectrum as well as antipodal positions in the aesthetic gamut, until the justice system is able to treat them as equals in all respects, the death penalty is off the table. No more death penalty cases for the prosecutor. Moreover, I see both of these incidents as clear cut cases of self-defense (I know, it's easy for me because I made the whole thing up – it's my fiction, and I'm sticking to it) and I also believe that the amount of force used is an appropriate response to the attack. The police may not see it that way, but until they do the battered victims are pretty much hosed.
Although the playing field will never be completely level nor will the people in the justice system ever be completely, perfectly impartial (they are all people, and perfection eludes us) the law enforcement and justice system will have to improve, drastically and significantly, before the death penalty can be used as a punishment. When the death penalty is used, make certain that the reasoning for using it is clear to everyone concerned: We have here a person who is extremely dangerous to society and who we feel is beyond redemption. Take the SOB out and shoot him.
In the case of my "attractive white female dressed like a Sunday school teacher" victim, who we'll call Sarah Spider, our local homicide detective discovered that Sarah had completed three courses in self-defense shooting and practiced regularly with her revolver at a local range, that she had taken out an extra life insurance policy of one million dollars on her late husband (SOB One) and that she bought the Glaser safety slugs one week before the shooting. The jury found her not guilty because they just didn't believe someone who looked like her could murder her own husband.
In the case of my "poor twenty something minority with coarse features dressed in ragged sweats and sporting a few tattoos and piercings" victim, who we'll call Millie Margarita, our local homicide detective discovered that her husband (SOB Two) had a violent temper and a drinking problem. SOB Two bragged that he would get rid of Millie some day soon and marry his chick on the side. Meantime, Millie served him as his once a week ATM and general punching bag. The prosecutor and Millie's court appointed attorney convinced Millie that a plea bargain for first degree manslaughter was a good deal. Millie is doing 10 to 20 in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.

|You can see these lilacs here
on my Flowers board
So it is with a major amount of surprise that I realized this morning that I have 800 followers on Pinterest. While I know that may be a small potatoes number to many of you, for me it's huge! My Pinterest board activity far outpaces any of my other social media outlet activity, so I thought it might be fun to get a little background on all those Voie de Vie followers:
|This awesome riot of color
can be viewed here
New York
Washington, D.C.
Los Angeles
|These pretty in pink peonies can be
seen on my Flowers board here
While my audience is far and away from the United States, the next four countries who pin from my boards:
United Kingdom
The five boards with the most amount of followers (highest to lowest):
|I love the color play in this
arrangement, which you can see here
Fashion Weeks/Events Around the World
I Tought I Saw A Puddy Kat
And, along the sides, you'll see the five all-time most pinned images from my boards. It's no coincidence that four of them are flowers! Although, I must say that in the last thirty days my Fiber Fanatic board has been getting a fair amount of repins.
I had no idea when I created a flowers board that it would become my most popular board - I only knew I love flowers and wanted to share their inspiration with others. Go figure.
Of course, the board I want everyone to follow - my original designs board, is still in its quest to gain further traction. That's alright, I am patient.
|And last, but certainly not least, this
lovely living space can be seen here
on my Interiors board. In the past
I've blogged about its popularity.
Pinterest has been a very good thing for me - not only in terms of sharing my inspirations and a way to visually show a good portion of my making, but it has also contributed to design sales (although I am less interested in this direct connection). It's nice that Ravely now tracks sales referrals for shopkeepers.
I thank everyone who follows my boards, and I hope I continue to be a visual inspiration to each of you.

About a year or so ago I read Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon. It was very instrumental in my creative adventures because it helped me see that I don't have to be an artistic genius just to try different art forms.
I don't have to be Picasso to paint.
I don't have to be Nabokov to write.
I don't have to be anyone but me to do anything creative.
Many good points are made in the book. I was especially glad to see the one that stated "don't wait until you know who you are to get started." Shwew. Because I just don't really know who I am artistically, hence these adventures in creativity to find out.
Some interesting advice and exercises are also provided in the book. For example, keeping a swipe file, learning more about artists you admire, and using a calendar to plan work. I've kinda started a swipe file and learning more about artists I really like, and I have to say both have helped with finding inspiration and ideas.
I was recently thinking about reading through the book again when I happened to see that the The Steal Like an Artist Journal is available for pre-order. I looked through it on Amazon and I am really excited about this journal. It kinda reminds me of the Wreck This Journal series, but with a more creative slant to it. My copy is pre-ordered, and I submitted my request for a free, limited-edition pen for pre-ordering. 🙂
Have any books inspired you? If so, please share with a comment on this post. I'd love to hear about it, and I know others would, too.

Coming in with Number 9 in our Top 20 Countdown of the 2015 Fandom Season is one hell of a mini series spotlighting on everyone's favorite Vampire Queen. Coming in with Number 9 in our Top 20 Countdown is Adventure Time, the "Stakes" mini series.
One word to think about the Stakes mini-series on Adventure Time is absolutely phenomenal. This mini-series is spotlighted on everyone's favorite Vampire Queen, Marceline. This is not your typical Adventure Time episode that you would ever imagine, this is where the real shit takes place for Adventure Time in 2015, besides the whole comet thing.
Everything we see in this mini-series is all Marceline. We got to know about Marceline's past. Everything like who's her mother? How did she became a vampire? What made Marceline into the person that the fans know today? It's like every question that the fans want to know about Marceline, this episode will answer their call.Everything we see in this mini-series is all Marceline. We got to know about Marceline's past. Everything like who's her mother? How did she became a vampire? What made Marceline into the person that the fans know today? It's like every question that the fans want to know about Marceline, this episode will answer their call.
And that Bubbline though. Yep, this mini series also had some Marceline/Bubblegum action and interaction ever since the part in the first episode of the mini-series when Marceline told Bubblegum to get rid of her vampire abilities. And when I heard and saw what she said, I question myself, Marceline lived for almost 1000 years because of her vampire abilities, if she wants out of the vampire business, won't she die? Well, after the whole "anti-vampire" stuff come and gone, she still lives. She still lives.
Of course, it ain't Adventure Time without Finn and Jake, because it's their show. But this mini-series is all about Marceline, so Finn and Jake have been pushed into the back of the bus. Heck, in the episode, "May I Come In?", Finn is used as bait to lure The Hierophant to his death and talk about that pose he did. And of course, bringing back Jake's fear of vampires.
Of course, got to talk about Marceline's backstory beginning with the events of the episode, "Everything Stays". We finally got to see what Marceline's mom looks like, and...she's a person of color. So I'm guessing Marceline is a person of color, too. Of course, Marceline's mother is voiced by none other than former Adventure Time staffer and now creator of Steven Universe, Rebecca Sugar. Heck, she even wrote the song for this mini-series. Of course, fans lost their minds when that scene was surfaced during San Diego Comic Con earlier this year.
We also got how Marceline became a vampire in the first place when she fought against the Vampire King, which will talk in the later part of this post. But the action in that backstory is absolutely amazing to watch, adding suspense to the mix along with some dialogue. Of course, the fight between her and the Vampire King ended when the Vampire Queen bit Marceline in the neck.
And of course, during one of the flashbacks in "Everything Stays", we transition back to her and Ice King when he filmed a video, which is the same video that Finn and Jake witnessed in "Holly Jolly Secrets". Of course, after the video, Simon (or Ice King) told Marceline that they need to be apart because the crown is already messing him up. Like it's already hurtful enough that know about Marcy and Simon's backstory...why must you hurt us!
Also to talk about is the dream sequences throughout the episodes. And of course, the only ones I can talk about is in the episode of "Take Her Back" when we see both Simon and Betty cooking some food and then expecting Marceline in front of their house. And of course, this...
Yep, this is the closest we get for a kiss between Bubblegum and Marceline. And man, Marceline in that dream sequence looks like she aged a bit.
Of course, there's the antagonists, the five Vampires. The Fool, The Empress, The Hierophant, The Moon, and the Vampire King. Of course, four out of the five got killed off by Marceline and the gang.
The Fool got killed by Marceline...that easily...he's the Yamcha of the group if you don't get the reference. The Empress got killed off by Bubblegum via gun. The Hierophant got killed off by...himself because he broke one important rule when wanting Finn's blood, invite them in. Finn and Jake almost the kill on The Moon but no effect when she was asleep during the day, so Peppermint Butler got the kill when she attacked what was Bubblegum's castle when saving Marceline from death. Then came the Vampire King, not killed off but in the episode, "Checkmate", thought he was calmed and collected, but he facing against Marceline, he's becoming a tad insane because he wants Marceline to fight him. So much that he stripped down to his underwear...dude's that obsessed when trying to make a deal with her. But of course, dude tapped out and want to do the same thing that Marceline did in the beginning of this mini-series. It worked, but thanks to a simple screw up, a dark cloud appears.
And it looked like Marceline is not joining in the fight against the Dark Cloud as Finn, Jake, Bubblegum, and the rest of the Land of Ooo fighting against the Dark Cloud till Ice King comes in to Marceline's side and finally snap some sense into her and that's why she came into the fight and finally took down the Dark Cloud, which not only saved the Land of Ooo, but got her vampire abilities back. And that's where everything turned back to normal, the Land of Ooo is safe, Marceline got her abilities back, and Bubblegum got her kingdom back after the citizens of the Candy Kingdom overthrew the King of Ooo.
So why did this mini-series got the Number 9 spot? Where do I begin with this mini-series? I got to say, this mini-series is by far the best I ever saw in Adventure Time history. This mini-series is all about Marceline, the whole entire mini-series from beginning to end is spotlighted on Marceline. And man, this mini-series is one huge pile of character development when it comes to Marceline. Still hoping on how Bubbline came to be, I mean the ship is canon as of last year but can't show it due to the show being popular that it aired in countries where that type of stuff is illegal. All and all, I say this mini-series is the best for Adventure Time and of course, for 2015. Would've been in the Top 5, maybe in the Top 3 if it weren't for other shows clinging on to that list. Speaking of that, stay tuned tomorrow for our Number 8 spot of our Top 20 Countdown as a battle has already taken place as we head back to the Anime World. So until then, stay tuned.

What's happening at the US border
Mother and daughter speak for the first time since being separated
Cindy Madrid on Thursday spoke to her 6-year-old daughter, Alisson, for the first time since they were separated after crossing the border, according to a spokesperson with Southwest Key Programs shelters, which is housing the girl.
Madrid is in a detention facility in Texas, and hadn't seen or talked to her daughter, although she heard her daughter's voice in an anguished voice recording released by investigative news nonprofit ProPublica. In the audio recording, other separated children sob desperately.
Jeff Eller, spokesperson for Southwest Key Programs, said Alisson was assigned a case manager and got to speak to her aunt. She began the reunification process, he said.
"We are continuing to provide this child with excellent care and are advocating for safe reunification on her behalf, as well as continued communication with her mother and aunt," Eller said.
A source told CNN that Madrid has another call with her daughter scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

She's working to reunite migrant children with their parents
Melissa Lopez helps reunite separated immigrant children with their parents, and she's been busy.
Lawyers have sent her organization several requests from distraught parents searching for their children after crossing the border through El Paso.
"They will send us a list and say, 'please check,' " said Lopez, who serves as the executive director of Diocesan Migrant and Refugee Services in El Paso, Texas.
So far, they have reconnected between 20 to 30 families over the phone. As facilities reach capacity, children are increasingly being sent to other parts of the country, away from where their parents are detained, Lopez said. There's no easy system to match family members, she said, and phone calls are a crucial, immediate way to reconnect.
"The government provides absolutely no tools to these families to try and reunite them. They separate them and make no sort of effort or feel any sort of responsibility about making sure either party knows where the other is," Lopez said. "It definitely is challenging."
The Office of Refugee Resettlement provides parents with a hotline to call for details on a separated child, and says it will work across agencies to schedule regular phone communication.
"They (parents) have to hope that somebody reaches out to follow up. It's a really inhumane system," Lopez said.
ICE says family reunification is up to the parents
Parents decide if they'll get deported with or without their children, Henry Lucero, a field office director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told a roundtable of lawmakers in Weslaco, Texas.
Lucero said a parent in ICE custody is asked if they want to be repatriated with or without their children.
ICE says "a majority" of parents are opting to be deported without their child so the children can go through the immigration system, he said.
If the parent decides to have their child back, the consulate of their origin country will work with ICE to reunite the parents and children while they are still in the United States.
Ryan Patrick, US attorney for Southern District of Texas, said prosecutions for illegal entry are up 266% since the "zero-tolerance" policy went into effect.
Children in Border Protection custody will be reunited with families, official says
Customs and Border Protection expects all unaccompanied children in its custody to be reunited with their parents Friday, an administration official said.
"CBP expects that all unaccompanied children in their custody who were separated from adults who were being prosecuted will have been reunited with their families," the official said Friday.
An important note: These would be children separated mostly within the last 72 hours who were never transferred out of CBP custody when President Trump's executive order came down this week.
Some context: These children are not the 2,300 to 3,000 children in the custody of Department of Health and Human Services.
The official goes on to say some children, who were separated for reasons other than the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy, will not be reunited with their families. Generally, the official explains, these are cases where "the familial relationship cannot be confirmed, or believe the adult is a threat to the safety of the child, or the adult is a criminal undocumented immigrant."
Federal agencies hold meetings at the White House to discuss how to interpret Trump's order
Officials with the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection and the Justice Department met at the White House Thursday night and Friday to discuss how to interpret President Trump's executive order, according to White House officials.
The agencies and the White House are not yet on the same page about how the order and the "zero-tolerance" policy align in terms of who is referred for prosecution. The President himself hasn't participated in all of the sessions, the officials said.
What Trump's order does
The executive order asks that families be housed together "where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources." Trump's seeks more authority to detain families together until the end of their immigration proceedings.
What it doesn't do
So far, the administration has not provided details on how it plans to unite the at least 2,300 children separated from their families. The executive order does not address the uniting of families already separated -- and existing policies place the onus on parents to find their children in Department of Health and Human Services custody and seek to reunite with them.
Senior GOP aide: "I'm not sure what the plan is" on reuniting migrant children with parents
A senior Republican congressional aide confirmed the confusion over President Trump's executive order is shared by members of Congress, including its leadership.
When asked whether the administration had a plan for reuniting children separated at the border with their parents, the aide said, "I'm not sure what the plan is there."
The executive order the President signed kept in place the "zero-tolerance" prosecution policy that resulted in families caught crossing illegally at the border being separated because the adults are charged with a crime, but it said that the administration would aim to keep families together during that process going forward.
But that left a number of questions unanswered, not the least of which was what would happen to the more than 2,300 children now in government shelters all over the country who had been separated from their parents since the policy went into effect in April and whether those families would be reunited.
Florida senator heckled after touring shelter for migrant children
Several people interrupted Republican Sen. Marco Rubio as he addressed reporters on Friday after touring a temporary shelter for unaccompanied migrant children in Florida.
The people, who were not seen on camera, called the Florida lawmaker an opportunist in both English and Spanish.
One person said in Spanish: "You're an opportunist. You have the same vision as the President. They see us like animals."
Rubio told reporters that he was not allowed to speak to the children in the Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children, but that workers were doing the best given the circumstances.
He also said he believes families should be detained together, although he doesn't think the United States has the capacity to allow that and doesn't want to incentivize others to take what he called a "dangerous journey."
Reuniting separated migrant families will take about a month, attorney says
Eileen Blessinger, a pro bono attorney for immigrants, said that it will take about a month to reunite children who have been separated from their parents at the border.
Her understanding is that there is no process yet and they are still trying to figure out a procedure for the reunification of families. Blessinger says she was told by a senior US Immigration and Customs Enforcement official that it might take a month for that reunification to happen.
She says she's working with several parents who claim they have not spoken to their children in weeks, including:
- One woman said she came with her three children and a niece and has not yet been in contact with any of them since they arrived June 7. One of her children has special needs and no one has been told of about her daughters needs or asked her about them.
- A father has made eight requests to talk to his children and locate them but has not been successful, Blessinger said.
- Out of the eleven men she has spoken with, Blessinger says only two have been in contact with their families.
This senator just toured a detention facility. This is what she saw.
California Sen. Kamala Harris just toured a detention facility in San Diego, and said her "heart is broken."
Harris, speaking to a crowd outside the Otay Mesa Detention Center, said she sat down and talked to migrant mothers who were separated from their children. The mothers, she said, "think that they are alone."
"These mothers have given testimony, if you will, have given the stories, have shared their stories ... of a human rights abuse being committed by the United States government," the Democratic lawmaker said Friday.
"And we are so much better than this and what we have got to do is fight against this. This contrary to all the principles that we hold dear and that give us a sense of who we are when we are proud to be Americans. But we have no reason to be proud of this."
Harris, a career prosecutor, blasted the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" policy and the President's executive order.
She said there is no doubt these mothers are being held in prisons, not detention facilities. Harris said they are being held in cells. She said they are paid $1 dollar a day for work, and must pay for phones calls, which cost 85 cents a minute.
"A society will be judged on based how it treats its children and the least among us," Harris said. "We will be judged harshly for this."
She urged demonstrators to stand up, march and fight for the thousands of migrant children.
"The government should be in the business of keeping families together, not tearing them apart," Harris said.

It was a great week end at the Johnny Appleseed Festival in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We had two absolutely gorgeous days with highs in the 70's and a slight breeze to keep away all the yellow jackets!
The food was phenomenal from apple dumplings to corn fritters...with everything in between. All the crafts were exceptional and built using the tools of the 1770's. Canons, fife and drum participants, cloggers, dulcimer players and bagpipers were around every bend in the old road.
And, of course, there was storytelling. I had full crowds for my shows and loved sharing my homespun tales. The highlight is always Johnny Appleseed, aka, my friend, Scott Mertz!
By the end of the week end, my shoes were covered with dust and straw was still clinging to the back of my old dress, but oh, Indiana in the Autumn is like no other place!

Inter Mission: Silver Screen Inspiration For Our Valentines Day MissionBy Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Inter Mission: Silver Screen Inspiration For Our Valentines Day MissionBy Amy Krouse Rosenthal
This week: MISSION Amy K.R. has a guest-blogger: Rebecca Kavanagh.
How are your grand plans coming along? Have you ordered the flock of doves? Do you think you've got enough helium for all those balloons? Are you dotting the i's and crossing the t's on that love poem? Shhhhhhh" don't spoil the surprise. But do make it happen -- soon -- so we can share details with the universe on Friday.
Need a nudge? Take a break and listen to this week's music choices, which come from two '80s flicks that shaped the way a generation thinks about grand gestures.
Elevator Music is from Ferris Bueller's Day Off -- a comedy, yes, but a love story to its very core. It's hard to believe that Ferris would have gone to such great lengths were he not trying to impress the beautiful Sloane. Don't you imagine that if she had stayed in class, Ferris and Cameron would have ended up on the couch playing Atari?
YouTube - Wayne Newton- Danke Schoen(2)
Elevating Music will flash you back to Lloyd Dobler, rocking the sweatpants and boombox-serenading Diane Court in Say Anything." This is what your girlfriend wants. Just do it.
OK. Stop chair dancing and get busy to planning your own happily ever after. We'll see you back here on Friday for everyone's applause-worthy results.

I've been experimenting with servlet filter, along the same lines as my experimentation with aspects. Aspects are quite an interesting topic, however for the request instrumention task it seems that filters are much more suitable. Realising your approach is wrong and pivoting is, I feel, an important skill to learn in software development.
Recently I have been experimenting with aspect oriented programming, and the ease with which you can handle cross-cutting concerns. It's an extremely powerful tool, allowing you to insert pointcuts throughout your code, and inject bytecode around code without polluting your source code. AspectJ provides a great deal of flexibility in the methods through which you can instrument your code.
My team has recently been working on a new Spring Boot application. One of the many best practice requirements—see non-functional requirements—is that we separate our read and write layers when utilising RDBMS (such as MySQL). As a newbie to this particular problem in Java, it seems that the easiest way is to use the official replication driver provided by the com.mysql package.
Well, it seems that way anyway. Unfortunately both my residential broadband and mobile connections lack ipv6 connectivity, so I'm relying on the Qualys SSL Test and various other on-line tools to assure me of the ipv6 compatibility. http/2 was easy to test; firefox developer tools tells you which protocol was used for each downloaded asset. Please let me know if I have gotten something obviously wrong!

Gorgeous house! I actually prefer the more "wild" yard to the manicured version, but that's just me. I agree the bathroom sink is fabulous; I hope it stays there forever! Thanks for sharing, Nita!

I don't know if the wild looking lawn would go over well in our town, but I love the way it looks! Lots of amazing details in that house! Thanks for sharing, Nita, and have a great day!

Hi Nita! Thanks for sharing that fun house with us. I hope that the new owners put more period furniture in it...all the modern stuff just looks out of place to me. The new owners have my permission to mix in a FEW modern things. Lots of cute nooks and crannies in this charming home. I love the yard of the month with the pumpkins and your new alabaster lamp and circular frame too.

I love the house itself and I agree about the mantel. Maybe a thick dark rough wood?
Thanks for the Sunday Open House!

Nice house. I love the wood on the ceiling. I want wood floors just like that! I think the light fixture in the dinning room has been replaced and looks cool, well until you said it could be a bag, lol.

I can understand why this house sold so fast because it has loads of character. I'm not fond of the modern décor but the former owners did a great job of fixing it up.
I loved the old landscape because it looked natural but not messy. It worked because it was a good balance of plants appropriate to the Oklahoma location used in a relaxed design to blend with the cottage style of the house.
A friend I often debate whether a garden such as this helps to sell a house. She says it does, I say no because it's too personal. Your post proves me right; most people want a blank slate.
I love your neighborhood! Thanks for the tour.

I love the look of the home's interior. I laugh when I saw the nook off the kitchen with the 'industrial' sink. I have one just like it in the basement of this house (I moved in almost a year ago and it is similar age and style). It is the laundry sink and is located right next to the washer and dryer. I cannot even imagine putting any of my laundry into it. Clean out some paint brushes? Yes. In fact, our home inspector suggested the best thing would be to take a sledge hammer to it to make it easier to remove as they are extremely heavy due to their size!
The 'bag' light fixture is indeed a new one. I've seen them scattered throughout some of the trendy home décor stores up here in Toronto, Canada. I think they could be huge dust collectors but perhaps since they're made from cloth, the designers are expecting us to add them to our weekly laundry. lol
I wish I could live more simply too. I know we all could do it but it's just that matter of letting go of 'things'. I've already done a lot of that downsizing to this home which is a quarter the size of my last one. I still have some unpacked boxes in my basement *blushing*, that will need to unpacked. If they contain 'must keeps', I guess I'll be doing some more 'editing' of what I've brought or, shall we say 'simplifying'? lol
Thanks for sharing this home in your neighborhood. You were indeed meant to be living there with your mom in the house you found.
I'm so glad I stumbled onto your blog a few weeks ago.

It sounds like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) (BIT:NOK1V) (HEL:NOK1V) will be cleared by European Union regulators to complete their deal. That's according to anonymous sources cited by Foo Yun Chee of Reuters.
Microsoft to receive "unconditional" approval
Microsoft offered $7.3 billion to buy most of Nokia's devices division. That deal was revealed in September and comes with a 10-year licensing deal which allows Microsoft to license some of Nokia's patents. It also shows just how serious Microsoft is beginning to get about devices as it battles Samsung and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)
Sources told Reuters that the European Commission will likely approve the deal without putting any conditions on it. The competition watchdog for the EU set a deadline of Dec. 4 for regulators with the agency to hand down their decision.
Regulators in several other countries, including Israel, India, Turkey and Russia have already agreed to allow Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)'s purchase to go through. Also this week and Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) (BIT:NOK1V) (HEL:NOK1V) voted in favor of the deal.
Microsoft moves into Nokia's headquarters
Also this week, there were reports that Microsoft was preparing to move into Nokia's headquarters in Finland. A representative from Nokia confirmed it with Bloomberg yesterday. This means Microsoft will have a major presence in Finland as Nokia's other businesses—infrastructure, mapping and licensing—move out of the headquarters in Espoo.
Although most consider the deal between Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nokia to be basically done, workers in China are protesting it in an effort to stop it. They're on strike after complaining that they were forced to sign new contracts which were not as strong because of Microsoft's purchase of the devices division. At least 59 workers have apparently lost their jobs because they didn't go to work, but that just turned up the heat on the situation even more.

The Panasonic SDR-S7 is one of the cutest-looking gadgets we've seen in a while. It looks exactly like a normal handheld camcorder, only half the size.
But don't let its size deceive you. Hidden inside this thing is a shed load of cool technology. And that's why it's ideal for home users who need a competent-yet-compact camcorder.
It doesn't shoot in HD, but then, for a camera of this size, what do you expect? It records straight to SD memory card in standard definition. And the quality of the recorders are very good, considering.
At £250, it's also pretty modestly priced. So if you're looking for a compact camcorder to record your summer holiday, read our full review of the Panasonic SDR-S7.

| 7.3°C Dublin
FOOTBALLER El-Hadji Diouf was arrested and Premier League defender Anton Ferdinand questioned by police after a brawl in a nightclub.
The trouble left a 33-year-old man in hospital with injuries to his head and neck following the fight at The Circle Club in Manchester in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Diouf, a former player with Bolton, Liverpool and Rangers, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of violent disorder.
Five other men were also arrested and all have been bailed until May 23, pending further police inquiries.
Ferdinand, the brother of Manchester United and England star Rio, was questioned under caution by officers yesterday.
Diouf and Ferdinand were team-mates when both played for Sunderland.
Diouf, 31, originally form Senegal, is now with Doncaster Rovers, who were relegated from the npower Championship on Saturday.
Ferdinand, 27, currently plays for QPR, who are fighting against relegation from the Barclays Premier League.
Police are investigating whether a bottle was used in the fighting.
The Circle Club, a members-only bar, has in the past attracted professional footballers from both Manchester United and City, actors from Coronation Street and reality stars from Big Brother.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "A fight had taken place and a 33-year-old man was injured.
"He was taken to hospital for treatment to injuries to the side of his head and to the side of his neck, and he remains in a serious but stable condition.
"Six men were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder, five of whom have been bailed until May 23 pending further police inquiries.
"Another man has assisted the investigation, which is ongoing."
No-one at the Circle Club could be contacted for comment.

Sony Respond To Kesha's Contract Termination Request
Sony have issued an official response to the growing calls for Kesha to be released from her contract.
The pop star is embroiled in a legal battle with the company to be released from her deal with Sony subsidiary Kemosabe.
Kesha has accused Kemosabe producer Lukas Gottwald, aka. Dr Luke, of sexual assault and refuses to work with him, but a judge ruled she cannot produce music outside of that contract.
Fans have started crowdfunding to raise the required funds to buy her out of the contract, and Taylor Swift also donated $250,000 (£180,000) to Kesha's cause.
Unfortunately, despite all the support, Sony claim they cannot terminate the deal as the contract is with Dr Luke and not Sony directly, The Independent reports.
Sony released the following statement via their attorney to The New York Times:
Sony has made it possible for Kesha to record without any connection, involvement or interaction with Luke whatsoever, but Sony is not in a position to terminate the contractual relationship between Luke and Kesha.
Sony is doing everything it can to support the artist in these circumstances, but is legally unable to terminate the contract to which it is not a party.
Sadly, it appears this dispute is a long way from being resolved.

A sunny day and warm greetings welcomed military connected families and community members alike to D49's 3rd Annual Military Family Appreciation Day.
Some visitors to the April 27 event stopped to let their kids take a turn in the bounce house, or grab a snow cone from the Kona Ice truck set up in the front courtyard of Sand Creek High School.
Inside SCHS local businesses and vendors spread out in the commons and gym offering information on their products or educational opportunities.
"We just registered and went to orientation for my five-year-old," said CW2 Jacob Burleson. Burleson wandered through the crowd with his young son, visiting the display staffed by a team from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
"I don't see many folks do this, so this is nice to see," Burleson shared. "It helps my wife out and gives the kids something to do. Hopefully she can meet someone here friends wise and just be able to link up with them."
The event began with an opening ceremony featuring the National Anthem, presentation of colors and Service Branch recognition by the SCHS JrROTC. At midday, visitors paused for a brief service to recognize two D49 alumni who were killed in action while serving in the U.S. military.
"We want our visitors to know, our military community to know, that we are here to support them," said Melissa Dashner, D49's military student transition consultant.
Military appreciation day followed a Purple Up Day earlier in the week which invited D49 staff, students and families to wear purple to show their support for military connected students. Paired with the event for families at SCHS, Dashner believes D49 is sharing a clear message.
"This lets all the other community know that we're banding together for our military community and we're here for them for anything they need," Dashner said.

Working within the boundaries of your home landscaping doesn't need to be limiting or hindering to your design choices and considerations. So this spring consider utilizing all the space, whether a large acre plot or a small home garden space, there are many ways to make the most of a limited area. Here we'll look at a few new design options to accentuate your homes outdoor decor.
1. Water Features & Koi Ponds
One of the best looking ways to enhance an outdoor space is through a water feature variety. Various natural stone waterfalls that recycle water, or a Koi pond with live fish variety, can truly bring a natural feel right to your home landscaping, no matter where you live.
2. Enhanced Landscape Lighting
Another way to showcase certain portions of your landscaping is with a variety of landscape lighting options. For example, if you have a flower bed or a water feature, it is a nice touch to enhance that space with lighting and spotlighting to continue enjoying its look even when the sun goes down.
3. Working With A Local Expert
Not just every landscaper has the expertise or licensing to create a water feature which utilizes the local water table and piping. This is not a project for anyone but the most seasoned professionals so be sure to do some research into the sort of landscaping company you are considering working with.

Nothing is more amusing than having a liberal "columnist" comment on the state of the conservative movement. It seems as though Politico's Roger Simon is one such liberal who feels it is his duty to trash conservatism on a regular basis.
Speaking with MSNBC's Craig Melvin on March 14, Simon commented that CPAC is "the militant wing of the Republican Party." Simon, who criticizes conservatives on a regular basis believes that the majority of speakers at CPAC are "on the extremes of American politics." [See video after jump. MP3 audio here.]
Those that Simon considers "extreme" include Mitt Romney, Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and Marco Rubio (R-Fl.). Simon's attack on CPAC and Marco Rubio continued with him claiming that:
He didn't have the courage to talk about immigration to a group that is not pro-immigration in the least. And that's one of the troubles that the Republican Party faces. Its militant wing doesn't want to reach out and make the tent bigger, which seems to doom the Republican Party as a national party.
Most conservatives would object to the term "anti-immigrant," pointing out that they oppose illegal immigration and support those to come to America legally. Of course, Simon would never make that distinction.
Sadly, Simon is no stranger to controversy. Just this week, Simon blamed the GOP for the cancellation of White House tours. He also notoriously claimed that being racist helps in Republican primaries.
Simon's comments on CPAC are fairly tame compared to his past comments but add to a long list of eye-rolling attacks by the liberal Politico columnist.
See relevant transcript below.
News Nation w/ Tamron Hall
March 14, 2013
2:52 p.m. EDT
CRAIG MELVIN: As we mentioned earlier, the annual conservative action conference is underway right now just outside D.C. At CPAC, conservative stars like Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Sarah Palin are the headliners of the three-day event. Florida former Congressman Allen West got the confab started this morning by stirring up the Republican base.
ALLEN WEST: This conference, this audience, these values, all jealously guard conservative identity from liberal wolves in sheep's clothing.
MELVIN: Noticeably absent from the event, Governors Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell. Political columnist Roger Simon writes about the snub saying, quote, GOP wants crazy after all these years. Roger joins me now. Roger good to see you sir. Let's take a look at the list at some of the star speakers who were invited. Mitt Romney, Wayne LaPierre, Donald Trump. When you look at the list there, what strikes you about those names?
ROGER SIMON: What strikes me about those names is that for the most part, they're on the extremes of American politics. CPAC has been described as the militant wing of the Republican Party. And that's true. The question is, is this what the Republican Party really needs? Is this the time for more militant wing? Is this what American citizens are asking for? Or are they asking for just the opposite?
MELVIN: Marco Rubio got one of the prime spots today. He talked a lot about small government. He talked a lot about conservative principles as well. He even made a number of water jokes. One thing he did not talk about though is immigration. Even though it's been one of the biggest issues that he's working on right now. What can we make of that omission?
SIMON: We can make of that omission is that he is going to trim his sales, depending on what group he speaks to. He didn't have the courage to talk about immigration to a group that is not pro-immigration in the least. And that's one of the troubles that the Republican Party faces. Its militant wing doesn't want to reach out and make the tent bigger, which seems to doom the Republican party as a national party. And that's why some Republicans look at CPAC and say, this is just crazy. This is exactly the opposite of what we need.
MELVIN: One of the highlights every year at CPAC of course is the presidential straw poll. That's going to happen Saturday at 5:00 despite the fact that we are still several years away of course from a presidential race. At this point any idea who a front-runner for the CPAC crowd might be?
SIMON: I would guess Rand Paul. I think this is going to be Rand Paul's convention. CPAC has a lot of college kids wandering around it in various stages of sobriety. And like all straw polls, it is fixed in the sense that candidates buy tickets and give them to kids to vote. It is the same way at the Aimes Straw Poll in Iowa. College kids love Rand Paul. Rand Paul gave a speech a few minutes ago to CPAC saying the trouble with the republican party is too many people who are stale and moss covered. Those are pretty much fighting words. They would indicate that he at least thinks the Republican Party should turn to a fresh face like him.
MELVIN: Roger Simon, Politico. Good to see you, thank you.

Keeley Neutrino - Funky, Tripped-Out Envelope Filter and Auto Wah
Keeley Neutrino - Funky, Tripped-Out Envelope Filter and Auto Wah
The Keeley Neutrino Envelope Filter and Auto-Wah! This funky, tripped-out circuit is something Robert Keeley has wanted to do for over a decade. Reviews so far have been stellar. Each opto-coupler is tuned to perfection; every Keeley Neutrino is like finding a magical vintage unit with that perfect tone.
The Keeley Neutrino gives you all the classic, funk, auto-wah sounds and that Jerry-In-A-Box sound. We have used the classic opto-coupler design for a rich and warm depth to the effect. Envelope filter sound is an effect triggered by your pick attack or strength. The harder you pick, the harder it "wahs"! Sounds bubble up from a deep rounded warmth to a shinning brilliance. Solo notes are individually expressive based on how hard you play. Create incredible vowel sounds… Can you say "Let's get it on"?!? Chord-work "stabs" sound right out of the disco dictionary, play that funky music white boy!
The Neutrino Envelope Filter has a simple set of controls so you explore a wealth of tones with ease.
There is a Gain control to set the input level to an appropriate strength so that you can trigger the effect with any type of pickups or instrument level. This control is critical. Pick an open string on your guitar and adjust this control until you hear the wah sound rise and fall. Set just right it sounds like a wah pedal rocking back and forth as you play a note.
The peak control is how "sharp" or "warm" the effect is. You can think of this a way to make your wah sounds really mellow or really "quaky"!
The Filter Selector lets you choose between 3 types of filters to carve out different tones and timbers.
The Range Switch adjusts what frequencies are being stressed HI or LO. Easily find your voicing.
A side-mounted Direction Switch allows you to control which direction the wah sound goes. Wah up, wah down!
The Neutrino Envelope Filter is designed to work with bass guitar and keyboards as well. Simply adjust the Gain to get it to trigger the way you want. Then, adjust the Peak control to set how much it "wahs".
Use a Keeley Compressor after your Neutrino to create a wall of lushly filtered tones that really stand out. Then, even with the more delicate sounds of the BandPass or HighPass settings you will be able to improvise with stunning clarity.

The original movie Endrendrum Punnagai was released on 20th December 2013 in Tamil Language. Yesterday it was released after dubbing the dialogues in hindi.
Chirunavvula Chirujallu Movie Review
Jiiva, the lead in the film was named Amar when he was born to famous film producer R. B. Choudry. He started his career in film industry as an child artist in his father's film in 1996. He made his debut as a lead actor in film industry in 2003 with a romantic film Aasai Aasaiyai. He is playing Goutham Sridhar in the film Chirunavvula Chirujallu.
Female lead Trisha is playing the role of Priya in the film. She is a model turned actress who works in South Indian Film Industry mainly. She had made her dubut to the south indian film industry with a supporting role in film Jodi, released in 1999 but got her first break to act as lead in a film was through Mounam Pesiyadhe released in 2002. Since then she had never looked back. She, being an animal lover, she has baan Goodwill Ambassador of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
Vinay Rai is playing Sri in the film. He was originally a ramp model from Bangalore. He made his debut in 2007 from Jeeva's Unnale Unnale where he played a role of Karthik for which he was nominated for Best Debut Actor in Vijay Awards.
Storyline :
The film starts from the time when Goutham was a child. He developed a great hate for women after being told that women are all bad and kinda selfish by his father. He met Sri and Baby after shifting to Chennai and the trio became inseparable friends.
After a big leap of 15 years, the trio is shown running an ad company. They get a contract to shoot an advertisement and were asked to take Priya (Trisha) as assistant with an international model in it. During shooting she fell for Goutham. Priya met an accident and Goutham rushed her to hospital. After sometime two of the trio get marrieed inspite of the promise of not getting married.
Then Gotham and Priya move to Switzerland for ad shoot and fall for each other. After coming back, Goutham introduces Priya to to his friend as an stranger met during flight. Hurt by the Goutham's behavior she left him. When Goutham reach home, he founds his father ill and rush him to the hospital where Sri and Baby come to meet and then comes Priya. Goutham apologises to Priya and they get engaged in front of his dad in the hospital itself and this is the happy end to the romantic film.
The major plus point of the film is its theme which covers friendship, romance and father-son bond. The narration done by the writer-director is also a positive sign. Jiiva and Trisha had done a great job along with a great direction by the director so that viewers can connect themselves to the story. The only major drawback to the film is its predictable story.

The new Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK is a gaming laptop with impressive performance, which promises increased reliability at a fair price. Dell recently updated the Insiron 7000 series with a bolder design, more features to aid user experience, while keeping true to their mantra of providing high quality, affordable products.
The Inspiron 7000 series is a great option for buyers in need of a quality notebook that emphasizes on hardware specs and pure performance, rather than on design and portability. I think the new series will make a great desktop replacement unit, a decent gaming laptop or even serve as a college or work laptop (if you don't mind carrying 5.7 pounds of Dell around).
This is such a versatile notebook because of the way compromises have been thought out: it's heavy, partly because of the extra parts and features, think dedicated video card, dual fan system, massive battery pack and partly because the budget was likely diverted to those aforementioned parts. The casing and chassis are made of a nice plastic, but plastic nonetheless. It doesn't feel cheap, but it's not exactly magnesium alloy or aluminium quality either.
So, hardware-wise the Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK has a 6th generation Intel Core i5-6300HQ processor. It's a quad core CPU (four cores, four threads) with 6 megabytes of cache which promises great performance with less power consumption. Essentially this means better output while enjoying a longer battery life. Looking at this new processor's specs, we can safely say it's well suited for mid to high end gaming. I expect it to obtain a benchmark score in excess of just under 6000 points.
It also comes with a single channel 8 gigabytes of system memory, which is user upgradeable to 16 gigabytes. Again, this figure is enough for most games, most applications and most demanding programs (like Photoshop, Illustrator, etc).
The Dell i7559-763BLK has a storage space of 256 gigabytes and uses a high speed Solid State Drive to store and serve files. This is great news for both gamers and everyday users, since the whole system will perform way more smoothly, without freezes, lags or delays when opening, streaming or downloading large files.

The real jewel of this laptop is its video card: a high performance, dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M, with 640 cores and 4 gigabytes of GDDR5 system memory available. Combining the power of the freshly launched processor with this video card, you will be able to play most of the 2015 games on high and even ultra settings, such as Fifa 15/16, GTA V, Metal Gear Solid V. However, more demanding games like Far Cry 4 or The Witcher 3 may require some graphics to be turned to medium in order to preserve playable frame rates.
Dell's media capabilities are impressive enough, so even if no external monitor or 5.1 sound system is available, it will outperform many of its similarly priced competitors. The Inspiron's 15.6 inches screen features a brightly lit Full HD display with IPS technology. Pixel density is great, making games, movies, photos and webpages look sharp and vivid. Audio technology is provided by MaxxAudio, making the laptop's stereo speakers and integrated sub-woofer perform well at high volume settings.
The Inspiron's design is a bit more bold this time around. They've decided to build a beast under an elegantly aggressive casing. It's built out of plastic, but features two very discrete red outlines (one on the trackpad and one on the lid where the logo sits) giving it a very distinct "don't be fooled by the outside" feel to it, which I love. It also features a backlit keyboard, very useful when using it in dimly lit rooms and has a dual fan system. Both fans work in tandem to dissipate heat from the CPU and GPU to help cool down the laptop and the area where you'd rest your palms. This is very important in a laptop with a high performance video card to prevent system overheating, making the Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK a very efficient gaming laptop.

Considering the hardware equipment we just mentioned, you'd expect the Dell to have a laughable battery life. It doesn't. It's great actually, at a cost. The massive 75 Whr battery pack will keep this surprising machine running for 10 straight hours when used moderately. Obviously, the more strenuous the activities, the less time before the battery will run out. But, for a laptop with a high speed CPU, dedicated GPU and two cooling fans, ten hours is more than you will ever need. The cost I've mentioned is weight. This battery weighs down the whole system by a bunch, adding up to almost 5.7 pounds, thus rendering it quite unsuited for travelling around with it. You will move with it around the house or the office with ease, but take it along on a trip in a shoulder bag and you'll likely end up with an aching back.
Other nice features include: three USB ports, Ethernet LAN, 802.11ac wireless technology, HDMI output with 4K resolution support and a spill resistant keyboard.
