Former NBA Star Dennis Johnson Dies
Dennis Johnson, the star NBA guard who was part of three championships and teamed with Larry Bird on one of the great postseason plays, died Thursday, collapsing after his developmental team's practice. He was 52.
Johnson, coach of the Austin Toros, was unconscious and in cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived at Austin Convention Center, said Warren Hassinger, spokesman for Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate him for 23 minutes before he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead, Hassinger added. Mayra Freeman, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office, said there will be an autopsy.
The Toros postponed home games Friday and Saturday nights, the NBA Development League said.
"He was one of the most underrated players in the history of the game, in my opinion, and one of the greatest Celtic acquisitions of all time," said former Boston teammate Danny Ainge, now the Celtics' executive director of basketball operations.
"D.J. was a free spirit and a fun personality who loved to laugh and play the game. We had spoken at length just the other night about basketball and his excitement about coaching the Austin Toros. "
Johnson played Toros player Jamar Smith in a game of 1-on-1 after practice and everything seemed normal, player Anthony Fuqua said.
"He was being Coach Johnson out there talking trash, playing basketball, dribbling around and shooting," Fuqua said. "Everything seemed fine. We're all in shock."
Toros spokeswoman Perri Travillion said she was talking with Johnson on the sidewalk outside the building when he collapsed. Johnson was joking about getting a parking ticket.
"We were laughing," she said. "He just collapsed."
Travillion said she called 911 and that Johnson never regained consciousness. She said Johnson did not appear to have overexerted himself at practice and didn't complain of any discomfort before he collapsed.
Johnson, a five-time All-Star and one of the top defensive guards, was part of the last Boston dynasty. He spent 14 seasons in the league and retired after the 1989-90 season. He played on title teams with the Celtics in 1984 and 1986 and with the Seattle SuperSonics in 1979, when he was the NBA finals MVP.
"Whether he was leading his teams to NBA championships or teaching young men the meaning of professionalism, Dennis Johnson's contributions to the game went far beyond the basketball court," NBA commissioner David Stern said. "Dennis was a man of extraordinary character with a tremendous passion for the game."
Johnson was a favorite teammate of Bird's, and the two were part of one of the most memorable plays in Celtics history.
During the fifth game of the 1987 Eastern Conference finals against Detroit, Bird stole Isiah Thomas' inbounds pass under Boston's basket and fed Johnson, who drove in for the winning layup. Boston won the series in seven games but lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals.
"Dennis was a great player, one of the best teammates I ever had, and a wonderful person," said Bird, now president of the Indiana Pacers. "My thoughts and condolences are with his family at this difficult time."
Bill Laimbeer, the center on that Pistons team, remembered Johnson as a "great player on a great ballclub."
"He played with passion and grit," Laimbeer said. "It was fun to play games like that. You always enjoyed it. It made for not only great games, but great entertainment."
In the 1984 finals, Johnson guarded Magic Johnson effectively in the last four games. In 1985, he hit a last-second jumper against Los Angeles that won the fourth game. In 1986, he was part of a team that featured four Hall of Famers _ Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish and Bill Walton.
"He was truly one of the good guys to play in the NBA, and he was a great teammate who was fun to be around," McHale said.
Johnson had a reputaion for delivering in big games.
"I hate to lose," he once said. "I accept it when it comes, but I still hate it. That's the way I am."
He averaged 14.1 points and 5.0 assists for his career. When he retired, he was the 11th player in NBA history to total 15,000 points and 5,000 assists.
"Dennis was a great player for the Sonics. He helped us win a championship and was the MVP of the finals," said former Seattle coach Lenny Wilkens, now the Sonics' vice chairman. "But more importantly, he was a tremendous person. He seemed to be enjoying coaching in Austin, and was in great spirits. He's left us way too soon."
Johnson made one all-NBA first team and one second team. Six times he made the all-defensive first team, including five consecutive seasons (1979-83).
"As far as a person, he was a great competitor," Sonics teammate Jack Sikma said. "He wouldn't let things pass. He would cause some friction if he felt strongly about something, but with our team that was a good thing."
Johnson was born Sept. 18, 1954, in Compton, Calif. He played at Pepperdine and was drafted by Seattle in 1976. Johnson was traded to Phoenix in 1980 and Boston in 1983.
He also was the Los Angeles Clippers' interim coach at the end of the 2002-03 season, going 8-16.
He is survived by his wife, Donna, sons Dwayne and Daniel, and a daughter, Denise.

This story just in from ABC 7 News WJLA:
A man was arrested for assault after throwing a sandwich at another man Sunday night, police said.
According to the Fairfax City Police Department, 32-year-old Jonathan M. Magnes was transported to an Adult Detention Center and charged with assault and battery, driving under the influence of alcohol, and refusal of a blood and breath test.
Magnes threw a sandwich at a 50-year-old man at Firenza Pizza on 10160 Fairfax Boulevard in Fairfax, Virginia. Magnes left the area after the incident and was followed by the man, police said.
Police said Magnes was later released and the victim was not injured.
Several items here. First, what a waste of a perfectly good sandwich! If you're going to go out to buy a sandwich, why throw it at someone?
Next, I like that ABC-7 titles the picture "Police lights with handcuffs (ABC7 file photo)" on its website. Why not just show a picture of a sandwich?
Finally, I'm not sure that I can take Firenza Pizza seriously. I believe that the first car I ever drove was my parents' Oldsmobile Firenza. Near the end of its life, the car really struggled to make it up hills. This was a problem in Pittsburgh where hills are unavoidable. I regularly drove on the Parkway East from the Edgewood Swissvale exit toward Monroeville. Despite putting the pedal all the way on the floor, the car struggled to get over 35 miles per hour. The other drivers did not appreciate this. Maybe Magnes also had bad experiences with a Firenza, and this explains why he threw his sandwich at someone!
Fairfax Patch also has information about this story.

Root Rot in Hydrangeas
Root rot problems in hydrangeas are reason for worry as pathogens can cause severe damage to your plant. Identify the different types of fungi that attack hydrangeas, symptoms, the severity of potential damage and disease management for successful growth of healthy plants. Keeping your hydrangea vigorous through proper maintenance is key to resisting root-rot infection.
Preventive Care
Hydrangeas suffer from diseases most often when in decline, stressed or improperly cared for. Follow appropriate care requirements to raise strong plants capable of fighting off infection. Grow hydrangeas in morning sun and shaded afternoons; morning sun helps dry remaining moisture on plants, like dew, which is a breeding ground for fungi that cause root rot. Plant in well-drained soil, high in organic content, according to the Clemson University Extension. Avoid dry climates and drought conditions as well as high temperatures that may injure hydrangea plants.
Phytophthora Root Rot
This type of root rot is caused by the fungus called Phytophthora nicotiana. Phytophthora root rot is most common among container hydrangeas, but may affect any hydrangea plant. Fungi survive in soil and plant parts and grow in excessively wet or dry sites. Symptoms include quick onset of wilting and the yellowing of all parts of hydrangea foliage, stunted growth and early leaf drop. The base of the stem may become a brown color due to the rotting of the root system, according to the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.
Mushroom Root Rot
Mushroom root rot of hydrangeas is caused by the fungi Armillaria mellea or A. tabescens. These fungal pathogens are soil-borne and aggressively attack hydrangea roots, particularly during extremely dry periods, according to the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. This fungi invades through wounds but may also simply attack root systems. Symptoms include wilting of shoots, plant death, the presence of white fungus under the soil surface as well as black fungal bodies that grow on roots and beneath bark. Within the drip zone and on roots, up to 100 honey-hued mushrooms develop in the end of the autumn season after significant rainfall.
Cultural Control
For phytophthora root rot, natural control includes keeping plants in separate containers so plants receive appropriate water amounts; overwatering and underwatering may enhance potential for disease growth. Choose disease-free plants and soil and sanitize containers before use. Prevent standing water with well-drained soil and containers; cover nursery beds using black plastic as well as gravel, according to the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. For mushroom root rot, choose sites untouched by this rot and adhere to special watering during summer drought. Provide established hydrangeas with deep watering in intervals of four to seven days during dry spells.
Chemical Control
For mushroom root rot, do not attempt to use chemical control methods as there is no fungicidal control treatment for this type of root rot in hydrangeas; remove and destroy the plant. For phytophthora root rot, use a fungicide treatment plan as a preventive method. Use a fungicide with one of the active ingredients: fosetyl-Al, propamocarb or thiophanate-methyl + etridiazole. These fungicides are used to spray or drench plants during transplant. Follow label directions, as some may need a one-time application while others may need repeat monthly applications, according to the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.

Another Tesla catches fire after 'significant accident' in Mexico (video)
Through a concrete wall and into a large treeIt's a sad fact for all automakers that some people will have accidents with your vehicles. Sometimes it's a total fluke, sometimes people do stupid things with their cars and get themselves in trouble. It's not newsworthy anymore with most vehicles, but because electric cars are still a new thing to the mainstream and Tesla is under a spectacular amount of scrutiny, we're still at the point where every severe accident - especially if there's a photogenic fire - gets dissected by the media.
The latest one took place on Oct. 18 near Merida, Mexico. Here's the video of the burning remains of the Tesla:The impacts seem to have been quite severe. If you look closely, you'll see that the rear wheel that is visible is actually at a weird angle. About the event, Tesla wrote:
We were able to contact the driver quickly and are pleased that he is safe. This was a significant accident where the car was traveling at such a high speed that it smashed through a concrete wall and then hit a large tree, yet the driver walked away from the car with no permanent injury.
Walking off going through a concrete wall and landing into a large tree. Not bad! That's a more stringent test than anything the NHTSA would do...
Speaking of the NHTSA: "The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found no evidence that a Model S fire on a Washington state highway this month resulted from defects or violations of U.S. safety standards. In that Oct. 1 incident, the car struck metal debris that pierced its lithium-ion battery pack, according to state officials and Tesla."
I won't repeat everything I've written about how frequent car fires are with gasoline cars, you can read it all here, and read Elon Musk's explanation of the first fire. At some point EV fires will stop being newsworthy just like gasoline car fires aren't anymore, but I suppose we haven't reached that point so it's a good time to educate people on this.
If you are worried about the safety of the Model S, here's some evidence that it's one of the safest vehicles on the road:
-"I'm living proof the Model S is the safest car ever made!"
-Tesla Model S gets 5-star safety rating in every category in NHTSA crash tests
-Tesla Model S gets highest safety score of any car ever tested by NHTSA (5.4 stars)

China's Bank Plans Make Markets Nervous
This Thursday (June 17), Motley Fool published a special guest column I wrote on Chinese banks' big capital-raising plans this summer, and why some investors are wary. The original post can be found here.
The World's Largest IPO, and What It Means for China
by Patrick Chovanec
Chinese bank stocks took a tumble early last week, with nearly a dozen hitting 13-month lows on the domestic A-share market. They rallied back later in the week, on news of strong Chinese exports, but not before calling into serious question the viability of the planned listing of Agricultural Bank of China, still scheduled for mid-July. The size and importance of the AgBank offering — billed at $23 billion, which would set a new record as the world's largest IPO — not to mention the long lineup of other Chinese banks hoping to raise additional capital in its wake, make it worth getting to the bottom of what's really going on here.
Chinese jitters
To some extent, last week's plunge in bank stocks is part of a broader case of jitters that have driven the Shanghai market down more than 20% this year, as investors worry the eurozone crisis and government measures to rein in lending and property speculation will dampen China's fast-paced economic growth. But it's also just beginning to dawn on investors just how many Chinese banks are going to be coming to market looking for capital this summer.
Chinese banks have already announced plans to raise at least 300 billion yuan ($44 billion) over the next few months by selling both stocks and bonds. In addition to ABC, the last of China's "big four" state banks to list, the other three — Bank of China (BOC), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), and Construction Bank of China (CCB) — are set to raise tens of millions in secondary share offerings. The Bank of Communications (BoCom), China's fifth largest bank, hopes to raise 33 billion yuan ($4.8 billion) in a rights issue later this month, after paring back its initial plans this week by 20%. At least a half dozen other midsize banks are also actively planning to raise capital following the ABC listing. Even if you're bullish on China's banking sector, you have to wonder whether the market has the appetite to buy all these stocks in one go.
Less-than-bullish appetite
Some investors aren't feeling very bullish. They wonder why Chinese banks seem so eager to raise funds in such a lackluster market, and they suspect that the banks are desperate to shore up their balance sheets against a mountain of bad debt that has yet to be disclosed. Last year, at the government's encouragement, state-owned Chinese banks engaged in an unprecedented lending boom to help stimulate the economy. By year's end, they lent 10 trillion yuan ($1.5 trillion) — more than double the previous year — expanding the country's entire loan portfolio by a third. Some analysts warned that, with so much money being lent out so quickly, many of the loans could eventually go bad. During previous bouts of state-directed lending by Chinese banks, non-performing loan (NPL) ratios topped 20%.
Ironically, at the same time Chinese banks were making all these new — and potentially risky — loans, they were reporting record low NPL ratios. This happened in part because the denominator, total loans outstanding, had exploded, and in part because of more lenient loss recognition guidelines from encouraging regulators. In any event, these figures gave a seriously flawed impression of banks' future risks. Chinese banks bragged that their loan loss reserves totaled 150% or more of NPLs. But with recognized NPLs so low, those allowances covered only a paltry portion of new loans being made that year. ICBC, for instance, increased its bad debt reserve by 9.5 billion yuan, while its loan portfolio grew by 1.2 trillion yuan — a provision rate of just 0.8%, barely half the bank's existing NPL ratio of 1.54%.
Troubled loans
This time last year, Chinese regulators actively pooh-poohed concerns that banks were not making adequate provisions for bad debt, arguing that since most of the loans were going to government-sponsored projects, they were virtually certain to be paid back. Now the very loans they once touted as "safe" have become regulators' worst headache. Worried that provincial and local governments lack the wherewithal to stand behind the guarantees they issued, China's Ministry of Finance has revoked those guarantees, leaving the loans they backed in limbo. Preliminary studies estimate that such troubled loans account for 40% of total lending by Chinese banks both last year and this year.
Faced with the prospect of big holes in their balance sheets, Chinese banks are now being encouraged by regulators to raise more capital — but to do it with smiles on their faces. Given China's 10%-plus rate of GDP growth this year, officials are painting the moves as purely a "precautionary" measure.
Some bullish investors argue that China's state-owned banks are a good buy, regardless of their true financial condition, because the government would bail them out if they ran into trouble. That reasoning ignores two critical points.
First, Chinese banks were originally sold to global investors not only on their limited downside, but an upside story as well: that they were being reformed into commercially viable, profit-driven enterprises. Their reversion, last year, into mere conduits for government stimulus spending calls that upside story into question. Today, Chinese banks earn hefty profits on the guaranteed spread in regulated interest rates. But as China moves toward a more convertible currency, those protections can't last forever.
Second, when Chinese banks were last bailed out, the government was the only shareholder. A similar recapitalization in the future would almost certainly mean stock market investors would face dilution. China's big state banks may be too big to fail, but their private shareholders may not be so invulnerable.
Hua Qiao permalinkJune 23, 2010 1:50 pm
Nice job. While the commercialized banks have improved in many areas, I don't think there has been an appreciable amount of improvement in analytic discipline. Cash flow lending is still a foreign concept. As long as debt to cap ratio is less than 80 or 75%, project approved! Of course, debt to equity ratios don't pay back loans and if the equity is based on inflated asset values or even worse, falsified asset values, well the lender's only option is the game of extend and pretend (and hope they can service the interest).
To change the risk culture of a bank, you need endorsement from the top of the house. You would have to centralize the risk and credit approval function in order to ensure consistency. You would have to stand up to the powerful regional fiefdoms (branches) who are run like their own little banks.
But if everybody knows the CEO is a party placeholder for a few years, then he will be gone. So, nothing will change. Legacy policy banks are just like other SOEs, they are highly socialized organizations with millions of connections and relationships. Highly complex political dynamics impede real change. HR departments are the most powerful.
Even if a CEO wanted to change the risk culture, he would find himself competing against a lot of dumb banks with gobs of liquidity. His desire for prudence, structure and diversification (smaller deal chunks) would curtail volume and leave his company behind in the league tables. His management team would be the laughing stock of the industry. Tough problem.

As Seen In Plastics Technology
Space: Where 3D Printing Innovates?
It's called the "Final Frontier" but maybe space is actually a closer to a present-day trendsetter. What does that mean?
Additive Manufacturing: Materials for 'Real-World' Parts
Developments in materials have helped pave the way for processors to make 'real world' parts from what is collectively known as 3D printing. Here's a comprehensive review of the materials available.
Lots of Recent Acquisitions In Resins and Additives
A number of major businesses have changed hands recently.
Arkema Buys Oxford Performance Materials
WEB EXCLUSIVE As part of its strategy to expand in engineering polymers, Arkema of France (U.S. office in Philadelphia) has acquired Oxford Performance Materials, Enfield, Conn.
Extreme Plastics New Contenders Push Limits Of Heat and Chemical Resistance
The top of the thermoplastic performance pyramid is growing more crowded and more finely differentiated due to heightened demand for lighter, tougher alternatives to metals, ceramics, and thermosets.
Demand Surge Tightens PEEK Supply
The pace at which polyketone materials are replacing metals shows no sign of abating. Indeed, PEEK's potential in fuel cells, plus accelerated applications development in existing markets, suggest that supply tightness could persist through 2003, when more new PEEK capacity is expected to bring relief.

Well, today is the second installment of our CRAZY FOR CHRISTMAS feature from REVERSE CONFETTI. Today, we are all about those little gifties that are perfect for a quick neighbor, teacher, mailman, boss, hairdresser, etc. that are easy to duplicate and make multiples of.
REVERSE CONFETTI Confetti Cuts dies. Here's what I did...
The jar wraps were easy enough with a couple of 2x12" strips to go around each jar, followed by some ribbon layered on top. I started digging through my dies (literally digging...y'all don't want to KNOW my storage system sitch!), and came upon a few that worked great!
Here's a pic of what I pulled, and you can follow along below to see what sets they came from and what went where!
Once I cut all my pieces, it was time to put them together and hopefully make some Santa magic! The VINTAGE ORNAMENT became a perfect beard once I embossed it with a swirly Cuttlebug folder. The circle from the FLOWERS FOR MOM Confetti cuts was just the right size for a face and his rosy cheeks are put on with a Q-tip and my blush from my make-up bag! I hand cut the oval-ish nose and added a little blush to it as well.
His eyes and mouth are just simply from a regular hole punch. The mouth got tucked under the snip off of the WHEAT Confetti Cuts (who knew?), which I cut and turned upside down for a mustache, and his eyes have a little white gel pen dot for detail.
Finally, I added his cute Santa hat using the PARTY HAT Confetti Cuts and before I added the puffball for the top, I was sure to give his hat a little fold-down to make it look very Kris Kringle-y!!
Diamond Stickles were added to the puffball cutout, the fur, and his beard for sparkle and the tag was stamped in BRICK ink with the TINSEL 'N TRIM stamp set and tied on with lots of fun green and white twine from my stash...any cute Christmas sentiment would be cute here.
Ok, literally these both took me about an hour and a half total, which includes the digging for dies, and picking out paper from my scraps, but with the exception of the trip to Kroger for the kisses!!
pssst...Little Blue House 'Fetti Fans girls, we just *may* have to make one of these in my December Tags 'n Treats class!

I LOVE Soho Rep!
Tonight, Micheline Auger's Donkey Punchmakes the rare leap from indie, Off-Off Broadway theater to Off-Broadway theater. Previews begin at Soho Playhouse, the venerable space that launched many playwrights careers (think Albee, Shepard). In this instance, Ivy Theatre, a company dedicated to untold stories and unheard voices, remounts its production of Auger's audacious, moving play.
Written and directed by women (Auger and director Audrey Alford), Donkey Punch (the piece was formerly known as The Feminism of a Soft Merlot or How the Donkey Got Punched) explores feminism and women's sexuality with the deftness of French filmmaker Catherine Breillat mixed with a true American sentiment. The play follows two friends at a crossroads in each's life.
From the press release: In Donkey Punch, uninhibited Kareena delves into monogamy while her uptight best friend, Sam, starts dating a pornographer. In this fast-paced world of sex, shifting relationships…

Congratulations to Warren Bodow, whose play DEELMAYKER has won third place in the 3rd Annual McKinney Repertory Theatre's New Play Competition. It will receive a reading tonight at 7:30pm in McKinney, Texas, just outside of Dallas. I have worked as Warren's dramaturg to develop the comedy for the past two years. Previously, it received readings in New York City and Tucson, Arizona, before being chosen for this national award.
DEELMAYKER, the main character's email address, features the loveable Bernie Harris, a successful 65-year-old media broker who wants to keep on truckin' but is challenged by a client base that is shrinking and a business environment that is pushing him to the sidelines. As he struggles to win the trust of a much younger client, and with problems in his marriage, Bernie strives to make the perfect deal, and learns if he has what it takes to face the new realities of a world growing young.

SCINTILLE / SPARKS by Laura Sicignano
Author reading & discussion "Meet the Author" / Lettura e discussione con l'autrice

SCINTILLE / SPARKS a play by Laura Sicignano, translation by Maggie Rose, with thanks to Anna Jardine
New York, 25 March 1911, 4.40 pm: in fifteen minutes workers at the T.S.C. (Triangle Shirtwaist Company) , a blouse factory, will be finishing their shift. There are almost six hundred people, mostly young women immigrants from Italy and Eastern Europe, many Jewish girls, all exploited and underpaid.
A spark, just one spark and suddenly the factory skyscraper is up in flames. In the building there is no fire alarm. Since all doors are locked and the goods lift has broken down due to overweight, there is little chance of escape.
In 18 minutes 146 people died, mostly young women.
The T.S.C. owners were let off, even if they had failed to respect basic security measures.
The episode became one of the historical events related to International Women's Day.
Many other stories are connected with the March 8th celebrations, but there is no other event in women's history that so significantly underlines this turning point.
At the same time the story is hardly remembered.
SCINTILLE \SPARKS is about current, important issues: health and safety measures at work, discrimination of migrants in the USA, the first examples of Trade Union Organizations, the memory of women who made History , the hopes of migrants from every age and from all over the world, women's liberation.
A Note from Curator Dina Del Monte: In the narrative theatre, the fundamental point of stage language is the body and voice of the actor. Because of this, the performer is able to evoke visions that capture and involve the imagination of the spectator. Still little known outside the European context, the narrative theatre is one of the most interesting artistic movements and one of the most vital to world of contemporary Italian theatre. Because of this, the Italian Cultural Institute wishes to bring to New York a selection of works that will be shown in their original version with English subtitles. They are brought directly from their authors – who are often the main interpreters. The wealth and the cleanliness of the utilized language also make these three meetings a particularly interesting opportunity to practice and improve the awareness of our language.
Laura Sicignano Graduated in Theatre History at the University in Milano and is a freelance journalist for specialized magazines related to theatre. She collaborated with the Theatre Agency QP. She has been production's assistant for Santagata and Morganti, Elio De Capitani Teatro dell'Elfo; Federico Tiezzi – Magazzini; Tonino Conte Teatro della Tosse. She has been working for many years at Teatro Stabile in Genova, in the areas of Marketing, Public Relations and Cultural Activities.

Everyone loved my grandmother. She was one of those people that made each individual feel special. It was her gift.
A few years ago, as she became less mobile and the need for more caregiving paraphernalia increased, my mom decided to clean out the hall closet for the much needed storage.
Almost everything in the closet was in individual boxes. The first box my mom pulled out was a new blouse with the tags still on it. Next was a beautiful bathrobe – tags still attached. The next box included a gorgeous set of linens still in the package… and so it went.
Because Grams had the gift of making everyone feel special, everyone always wanted to do things for her or give her the types of gifts she would never splurge on for herself as a child of The Great Depression.
That entire closet was filled with gifts given to Grams that she treasured, but never gave herself permission to use. They were to be kept safely in their original packages tucked away in the closet.
As my mom continued excavating the treasure trove she came upon a particularly promising box. After inspecting its contents, she took it into the other room where my step-father Gary was watching TV.
"Gary, I have good news and I have bad news," she said.
He answered, "Oh yeah?"
"I just found a 2 pound box of chocolate."
Gary, sweet tooth engaged, answered as he moved toward the box, "That's fantastic!"
Before he could grab it, Mom went on, "The bad news is that it expired in 1979".
A few years after the Ancient Chocolate Excavation, my mom was getting ready to move and began going through the items in the attic. She came across a series of porcelain tea cups her godmother had given her over the years. Knowing my affection for things reminiscent of the Victorian time period, she decided give them to me.
Those teacups are some of my dearest treasures, a few of them now being over 50 years old. So, what do I do with the antique heirlooms? Drink out of them of course!
Why am I confessing my family's storage stories? To encourage you to treat every day as a special occasion!
- Use the good china on pizza night.
- Put those beautiful silver candle holders to use on a Tuesday.
- Wear your favorite antique jewelry to work on a Friday.
Living a Savvy Life is about creating a strong financial foundation, while enjoying the journey. So celebrate every day by putting your treasures into use.
For more ideas on how to enjoy the journey, send an email to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll send you the article: 7 Treasures To Use Over 7 Days.

Let's be honest: one of life's greatest pleasures is to listen to music while we bath. Of course, for this, we have to use the smartphone. However, this common practice that we usually perform on a daily basis can be very damaging to our mobile device.
Let's see why …
When you take a bath with hot water it generates steam to which the phone is exposed. When this steam returns to its original state it turns back into the water and quickly attaches to the charging station, to the 3.5 Jack connector (headphone jack) and to the microphone.
This water vapor condenses in these ports and for sure you can imagine what happens when you expose metallic components to water, right? If not, here we explain: water makes its way into the internal circuits of the mobile creating rust and short circuits that deteriorate the operation of the cell until it is completely useless.
But all is not lost, because for this to happen, the phone must have been exposed to steam for long periods of time and repeatedly. A single bathroom is not enough to damage your phone, but several followed, yes.
And if you are thinking: my phone has IP68 certification (against water and dust), let us tell you that with that you will only prolong for a short period the life of the device since it only protects it in an extreme situation where it is affected for these elements, such as a rain or falling in a pool approximately 1.5 meters deep. If your device does not have this certification, of course, it is much more dangerous to be damaged if you use it while you shower.
In conclusion, listening to music with your phone while you bathe is not a good idea because as you know, electronics and water do not get carried away.

Zigbee Baseband Signal Generation Software
The Zigbee Baseband Signal Generation software is a free-of-charge, PC based tool, which allows you to easily edit the PPDU packet for the 2.4 GHz OQPSK Zigbee baseband waveform. It outputs the Zigbee baseband waveform data into a csv file that can be loaded by a Keysight 33500B/33600A dual channel waveform generator.
The Zigbee Baseband Signal Generation software offers you two ways of editing the baseband waveform:
• Manually edit the PPDU packet data
• Read from a pre-defined PPDU.txt file
Once you finish the editing, click on the button {Export I/Q Baseband Data to Zigbee.csv File}, the software will automatically name the csv file as Zigbee.csv, and archive it at the same location where the executable Zigbee Baseband Signal Generation is located.
With the Zigbee Baseband Signal Generation program, you can download the 2.4 GHz Zigbee OQPSK baseband waveform data into a Keysight 33522B 2-channel waveform generator and generate the Zigbee baseband signals. Furthermore, you can input the Zigbee baseband signals into the Keysight N9310A RF signal generator to generate the real-world Zigbee signals.

Of course Mercury in Pisces can also be about understanding our own feelings and why we feel as we do about things. Pisces is a sign all about emotions, be they the thing which prompts us to feel and thus teaches us through what we learn about through 'feeling it' ... or that which prompts us to run away from something or someone - or even our feelings, despite the fact that we know the choice is to face those feelings or pay the price for not having done so.
People talk about the 'deliciousness' of emotional threats under Scorpio, Scorpio being a sign about interactive emotional tussles and struggles, be they in the bedroom, the boardroom, with the bank or on the battlefield. With Scorpio, that drive to get what you want from something or some situation spurs us on and gets us to tolerate risk ... sometimes to our own detriment, yes. But we tolerate it anyway.
But with Pisces, no one talks about any deliciousness, as Pisces (and 12th house matters in your personal chart) are where we have no one to look to but our Self - and in the emotional realm, that means being left to deal with our own emotions, which whether those emotions are elation or grief isn't our favorite human way to live. It is educational and informative? Do we learn a lot about ourselves? Absolutely. But do we enjoy learning it?
That probably depends on how you feel about having been put in a position to learn those lessons - which is merely another way of saying the lesson itself is about feeling.
As a symbol, Mercury is about sorting, finding, assembling, organizing, deciding, interpreting, understanding, communicating the designing. We think of these 'Mercury processes' as defining, as clarifying, as all those things which assist us in the comprehending of life and the operating of our life in this daily lifestyle world. So to have this mercurial energy put into a Pisces realm means putting Mercury's mental orientation (mental faculties being the means through which Mercury functions are initiated) into an emotional mode which isn't as crispy clear as it would be if it wasn't as emotional. Or which excels through the expressing of emotionality, whether in a conversation or in the forming of, or creating of something expressive of emotions and emotionality.
Mercury in Pisces can mean a focus on things which are emotional, which promote or provoke our feelings - or on the whole subject of emotions, plus and minus, as a whole. And because that emotionality (or the subject of emotions) tends to cause other things to stop until those emotions are either enjoyed, worked through or tended to, Mercury is said to be less 'efficient' in Pisces than at other times. It's not that Mercury in Pisces can't be artistic and wonderful - it's just that those moments tend to sidetrack us from what we otherwise might want to be doing, which as a whole speaks to our tendency as human beings to prioritize accomplishment over feelings, and perhaps our human need to do just that, lest we not accomplish or take care of what needs to get done.
Part of Pisces' formidable reputation in fact has to do with just this: the fact that we know ... how as humans we understand on some instinctual level that though we are, from birth to death, emotional beings under every circumstance.
Without those emotions (or properly functional emotions) life is nothing but the stuff of nightmares.
And yet, those feelings can so easily overwhelm us.
We know this is the nature of mortality, this helplessness which at moments leads us into and then leaves us at the mercy of our most unbridled nature. So we fall 'helplessly' into love and we spiral haplessly into despair.
And when that happens - when anything Piscean overwhelms us, we have to have faith that we'll come through it all intact. We think our way through these times by having faith - which in essence is our mental Mercury model operating in an egoless modality.
Pisces demands a lack of ego. That which we tackle under Pisces benefits us only when we employ it in a manner which initially benefits many, or which is 'in tune with' accepted and established human experience. Any planet in Pisces (or your natal 12th house) is going to function this way and 'pick up on' this sort of notion - which means that whenever Mercury transits Pisces, the whole of our world shifts, or is made to shift (though things which arise at that time) into a mode where we either recognize the importance of broad-based, feeling thinking and proceed on that basis, or when we face situations which in 'raising the stakes' get us to stop thinking in such temporal and ego-driven ("how I prefer to think of it") sorts of terms.
Mercury will enter Pisces on March 13th at 3:53 in the morning (UT/+0) - one day before Saturn, astrology's symbol of time, responsibility, facts, achievement, commitment and consequences goes into retrograde at 4 Sagittarius. This being Mercury entering Pisces in metaphysical square to Saturn's position, some sort of 'conflict' is being cited (in general, if not in specific) - which may turn out very productively ,as this is a combination known for 'holding the line' and discipline. With the Mercury side of this in feeling Pisces, there may be an 'emotional penalty' for something, making this a time which could be filled with regret, but which holds equal promise (providing there's sufficient Saturn reality in the mix) and which may also become one where apologies get made as someone comes to realize something is wrong, missing - or maybe just not working out the way they thought it would.
With both of these emblems being in mutable signs (signs which learn as they go) this is a good time for discussions, especially discussions which are by their nature 'touchy' and which will benefit from a 'laying out the facts' providing there is no condemnation or finger-pointing as part of the process. High rhetoric and dramatic statements can be made providing they're merely an expression of how we feel (or how we don't like feeling) but accusations and 'blame-laying' should be avoided in any situation where we really want to make headway or accomplish anything, as poking (Pisces) feelings under this sort of influence will result in defensive stonewalling (some of it quite fierce) more often than we'd like it to - which would be a Mercury in Pisces tender-versus-tenderized ego issue, don't you know...!
The height (or greatest intensity) of this Mercury-Saturn square happens as Mercury conjuncts Saturn on Sunday, March 15th. And as Mercury won't be out of Saturn's range (the five degree orb of aspect) to Saturn until Thursday, March 19th, considering Saturn's March 14th station (which formally extends through the 16th and for some will be felt beyond that) these middle weeks of March are likely to be 'a moment' to be sure - with many of us carrying ideas into or forward from this time as the means or motivation through which we will operate pretty much for the balance of the month.
(Or at least until Mercury moves on into Aries as of March 31st, that is.)
And it's also probably worth noting - for the record, if nothing else - that as Mercury and Saturn come into full and exact square, that will mean Mercury is at 4 Pisces ... the position of fixed and royal star Fomalhaut.
But in this instance? If Mercury just wandered into Pisces (which it does on a yearly basis) and conjuncted Fomalhaut, we would be talking about the 'purity' or integrity of our thinking, our ideas and whatever we're telling others - and ourselves (don't forget that part!). But here we have Mercury transiting Pisces on a "mundane" or global basis ... (and yes, whoever decided on 'mundane' as an astrological term pertaining to daily life was either seriously into understatement or not thinking about Pisces at the time). On the universal level, Mercury conjunct Fomalhaut is all about how our thoughts, our plans and our positions measure up with those of society, history, and general humanity. So wherever we're out of sync with any of those 'measures' we will experience negatives or negativity - and wherever we're in sync, we'll feel hopeful and like we're headed in the right direction.
Or at least a better direction.
And if we aren't in sync, well ... we may not like having to change our mind or change how we're acting or who we're associating with or what our aims or attitudes are, but perhaps we see we should. That's where Fomalhaut comes in. Fomalhaut is that hidden 'quirk' in our brain, in our soul, in our times which guarantees that which isn't whole, that which is corrupted or corruptive, that which isn't true or good ... Fomalhaut comes into our life as that which we do unconsciously, or in how we aren't received by others or by our world which causes us to see or experience that downfall, that comeuppance, that failure or feeling of loss which is really about having not done the right thing, trading honest opportunity for some fantasy which wasn't ever going to pan out, maybe not because it couldn't be ... but in the end because despite all that we have done, even we knew that it wouldn't be.
Or even perhaps shouldn't be.
Then there's a little plot-thickening additive guaranteed to make this all a little more interesting (and for some, considering Mercury's position in Pisces, somewhat more dramatic) called Juno direct. And while this isn't necessarily the guarantee that we'll all be in for an astrological soap opera, that Juno is going direct at 3 Leo puts its station in trine to that of Saturn and inconjunct to Mercury does inject some inconvenience into the mix.
Some of that we will experience as that 'touchiness' mentioned above: Juno operates as a 'managing' force and once Mercury gets into early Pisces degrees just the shifting into 'emotional mode' is going to catch a few off us off-guard. Or for you something may happen which causes you to throw up your hands and say 'why me?' ... or 'why now?' ... or 'could something just not go right today?'
(Yes, we all have those seriously annoying moments, days and times in life - and some of them are probably associated with Mercury/Saturn squares, since combinations of our great ideas with life's realities doesn't always end up in glee.)
To be more exact here, during the period when Mercury is between 1 and 5 Pisces it will be in an inconjunct to Juno, pointing to making things work and (of course, as part of that) encountering that which doesn't work ... even that which because of what we say or do in the moment gets worse or better as we encounter the 'adjusting' energy of the inconjunct. That period of time begins late on March 13th and ends during the latter part of March 15th (in the UT/+0 zone), embracing the whole of the 14th when Saturn goes retrograde - another sign of 'pulling in' or 'putting the brakes on' something, whether that's about truly pulling back or ending (i.e., stopping, limiting) your willingness or ability to not do something.
Despite that, this isn't necessarily an end to anything. In going direct at 3 Leo Juno warns us not to go too far, but warns with equal ... maybe even greater fervor that it is our ability to connect to others and the being accepted by them for who we are and what we have to give and gift life - and our Self - with the ability to do which ultimately spells success ... that in our individual life, and that of the society or world around us. All sides of all conversations will be tested now - as much for their willingness to listen and hear as anything else. Saturn being in the equations of both objects which are "making their move" on this date speaks to the fact that nothing is 'over and done' unless we prevent it from evolving - in real time or in our minds as necessary. There will no doubt be some attempts to narrow discussions and block out anything "inconvenient" (read: emotionally inconvenient) during these weeks, and some such efforts may be successful - at least in the short run.
Yet where we find Saturn ... whenever we find Saturn in an astrological 'equation' we also know that growth is not in the moment, but over time - and how when we see Saturn as part something which does get narrowed beyond full usefulness there is some sort of (ego driven) fear which will ultimately be set aside or grown through.
It just takes time ... which with Mercury transiting Pisces may not be our favorite piece of news, but which we will like as not deal with and manage - if for no other reason than with a solar eclipse closing in and Juno's turn to direct at 3 Leo we are closing in a better glimpse of a truer image of Self.
And that image is probably not entirely consistent with where we are in life right now ... which as Mercury moves through Pisces we will probably find worth thinking about because for whatever reason we find ourselves at a place where we know we will feel better simply for the doing so.


text: Baby G's birth goes down in history as the first local birth I have ever missed! I got the message around 9am that after 42 weeks of waiting, Kayla was in labor. Knowing I was only about 10 minutes away, I started gathering my things and preparing for the next message, which would inevitably be, "It's time for you to come." As I was chatting with Kayla's doula, Jessica Moore, I received a message that Kayla's water had broken. With this being her 4th baby and her being 42 weeks I assumed she was progressing very quickly. I jumped in my car and took off! Not 5 minutes down the road I get the message, "She's here!" WOW! Not only did I miss the birth by about 3 minutes, so did her doula, and almost her husband. Baby G may have wanted to stay in until 42 weeks, but once she decided it was time, she wasn't playing around! Turns out Kayla delivered her 9 lb daughter on her hands and knees on the floor of her bedroom with the tub sitting by waiting to be filled. Her birth was fast, but absolutely perfect. Gorgeous, healthy, and very happy baby and mommy. Thankfully I arrived with plenty of time to see each of her 3 siblings meet her for the first time, and many excited family members that stopped by to celebrate with them. It was a truly joyful and exciting birth!

Why Church Membership? The importance of community in an individualistic and online world
Why should I join a church? Is there really a difference between joining a church and attending regularly? I can now go to church "online" and watch a famous preacher on my TV - isn't that just as good as joining a local church? In our day, where both technology, individualism, and a consumer approach to religion are rampant, these are all questions that come up and need ...Keep Reading
