December makes me feel like Christmas record people. Oh, you don't know them?
You know…these people:
The smiley ones with big teeth and shiny lipstick and perfectly tilted heads. That girl up there? She's saying, "I'm so full of Christmas cheer, I can't feel my legs!" There's a snowy pine behind her, she's singin' carols, and sister is happy. December, of course, has its regular dose of daily frustration and stress and exhaustion. It's just that there're so many twinkly lights to sort of daze and distract me, so I smile. Because smiling's my favorite.
Speaking of records, my first order of random enjoying business…
An early Christmas present–early because I had 99 cent Goodwill Christmas records that couldn't go to waste, so a new record player for the kids' room it is. It has since found a safer, higher place to spin.
And Hark! (hell yeah, I just said Hark) I found Christmas prenatal vitamins:
It also should be noted that if Honey, I Shrunk the Kids could really happen, I'd be first in line to be shrunk, and I'd spend December in this Village Inn. Dude, there are fifty shades of good stuff happening up in that Inn, and I only wish I was small enough to fit in the door and see what's going on.
So, where were we?
I pushed my cart past a giant crate of real fir wreaths today at Costco. Not to over-persononify, but I kid you not, the fir scent climbed out of the crate, chased me and my cart and tackled me for a hug–so hard that I had to spin my cart around, return to the crate and bury my head in it. People stared, but I am not ashamed. That stuff is to be enjoyed.
So we do. Enjoying…
New Goodwill Treasures
Little Shoppers
Growin' Kid
I saw him yesterday, in 4D, and I love him all the more. He has chubby cheeks and a Lainey-like forehead. And he flips so much, it takes my breath away. My explanation on in-utero baby movement to Brett the other day: "Picture a raccoon. Inside your body. And he's goin' all crazy. That is happening right now. Inside me."
My Kid Standing out in Ballet
…the undies give her away
The Beginning of Impromptu Holiday Adventures
Like night trips to IHOP for hot cocoa and pancakes.
The come-to-Jesus, slap-your-face-and-get-with-it phone call to Heidi yesterday:
Heidi: "Hello?"
Me: "This is bullshit. It's December 4th, and we haven't had one crazy holiday outing. I expect you, in green tights and reindeer antlers, knocking on my door soon."
Heidi: "I know, I know. We're going to change that. Promise."
Needless to say, there are festivities to come. They will involve a white van and possibly commence in heist fashion. I may or may not be wearing this when we pull away. (Hey Heidi, can you rig your horn to beep Jingle Bells?)
Nella Begging for Walks
She brings us her boots. "Boots? Walk? Please?" And a flash of a smile that would warm the Grinch's heart. Saying no is very hard indeed.
North Pole Prep
…the making of which induces record lady smiles for me. I can't feel my legs.
Blurry Lights
…along with in-focus ones, colored ones, clear ones, flashing ones, red ones, green ones and all the in-between ones.
And I feel this should end with some deep-voice radio announcer rattling off disclaimers in super speedy auction manner. Because that's a lot of cheer, a little bit of swearing and yes, a Hark! But it's December. So there you be.
Happy Camper Studio is back with a newly renovated storefront that offers clothing and homegoods, hand-dyed and designed by a Southern Arizona family living in the Sonoran Desert. As Happy Camper Studio puts it, "we are the "Official Outfitters of Daydreams and Adventures" for children of ALL ages and we don't do fussy!" My girls' mermaid dresses are the second round of Happy Camper Studio products we've owned, and one of Lainey's favorite things to wear–super comfortable, authentic mermaid wear (the scales!), and the real selling factor…they twirl!
I love the simple, sweet Christmas dress Happy Camper Studio offers and the affordable price ($25, but use code 1STCAMPER for $5 off your Christmas or mermaid dress order).
Check out the Happy Camper Studio blog as well!
Cup 'o Cheer, Friends. Cup 'o Cheer.

"Although I'd promised myself I wouldn't get another dog, I heard about a very overweight Spaniel that was in need of a good home and I couldn't bear to leave him to suffer, so I arranged to adopt him immediately," his new owner Rose Welsh said.
"When Jack arrived at our house he could barely walk, couldn't lie down comfortably and was constantly panting -- we were worried he wouldn't make it through the night. We entered Jack into Pet Fit Club as we wanted to raise awareness of the seriousness of this issue: owners may think they are showering their pets with love by giving them treats and extra food, but in reality they are slowly killing them with kindness."
Jack after
Finishing weight: 31.2 lbs
Total weight lost: 14 lbs (31 percent)
Waist decrease: 7.9 inches
Jack after
"It's wonderful that we were able to give him this second chance; he may be eight years old now but for me his real life only started in January this year," his owner said. "I just want him to live as long and happy a life as possible. Winning the competition is fantastic, but the real prize is returning Jack full health, and that he's able to act like a proper dog now. And if Jack's story helps to prevent other pets from suffering as he did, then that's even better.
"My advice to anyone with a pet that's on the porky side is to go to your vet, and don't delay. They won't judge you, and can give you professional advice about a healthy target weight, how much to feed them, exercise, so that your pet can lose weight quickly and safely. Having regular monitoring and opportunities to ask questions was invaluable."
Fifi before
Fifi is an 8-year-old cat who knows how to be quick when it comes to stealing food.
Starting weight: 20.5 lbs
Percent overweight: 107 percent
Ideal weight: 9.9 lbs
Fifi before
Fifi was found nearly starved to death as a kitten before being taken in by her current owner. Her difficult start in life left her with a tendency to gorge herself at any opportunity.
Although her owner Monica put her on a diet, she discovered that Fifi had charmed an elderly neighbor into giving her food, milk and treats every day, as well as stealing food from the other neighborhood cats.
Fifi after
Finishing weight: 16.1 lbs
Total weight lost: 4.4 lbs (22 percent)
Waist decrease: 8.3 inches
"Fifi used to just plonk herself in one place and pretty much stay there, but now I regularly see her exploring the garden, skulking in the bushes and trying to stalk things. It's definitely enabled her to indulge in more cat-like behavior and she is a bit more independent and feisty," her owner said.
Molly before
Molly is a Rottweiler who loves snacking on leftovers.
Starting weight: 144.6 lbs
Percent overweight: 65 percent
Ideal weight: 88.2 lbs
Molly before
"Her weight has probably been an issue for a while but we didn't realize how serious it was until she had problems with her back legs and she couldn't stand up properly," owner Wayne Houlston said.
Molly after
Finishing weight: 107.6 pounds
Total weight lost: 37 pounds (26 percent)
Waist decrease: 7.1 inches
Molly after
Owner Wayne said: "Molly has done brilliantly. She is a lot more energetic and can now keep up with the grandchildren. She is a lot happier and everyone remarks how well she is doing.
"My advice to other owners in a similar situation with an overweight pet is to speak to your vet to get their advice. I was in denial about how big Molly was. You've got to be strict with yourself. By giving them less food you feel as though you're neglecting your animal, but when you see the results it's a big boost."
Merlin before
Merlin the border collie had a penchant for biscuits.
Starting weight: 93 lbs
Percent overweight: 111 percent
Ideal weight: 40.1 lbs
Merlin after
Finishing weight: 68.5 lbs
Total weight lost: 24.6 lbs (26 percent)
Waist decrease: 7.9 inches
Merlin after
"Pet Fit Club has been a great experience and Merlin has loved it," Merlin's owner said. "The hard part has been trying to stop Merlin pinching my other dog's food and stopping the treats. Merlin being happy and healthy is all that matters, so I'm really grateful that he was picked to take part in competition."
Maverick before
Maverick was the biggest cat PDSA doctors in Edinburgh, Scotland had ever seen.
Starting weight: 22.5 lbs
Percent overweight: 85 percent
Ideal weight: 12.1 lbs
Maverick before
When Maverick's family took him in, he was already an overweight stray. But, two years later, he's gotten even bigger.
"Maverick's extra weight is really affecting his well-being," owner Dee said. "He has trouble breathing and spends most of his time sleeping. I was really shocked when the vet said he is the biggest cat he'd ever seen. We really want Maverick to get back to a healthier weight, as we want the best for him and feel sorry for the poor wee man. He is such a wonderful pet and does get treated like a baby and we would be lost without him."
Maverick after
Finishing weight: 19.8 lbs
Total weight lost: 2.7 lbs (12 percent)
Waist decreased : 4.3 inches
"Maverick seems a lot happier now, although he doesn't like the reduced portions he gets! My hope is that he continues to go down the right track and lose weight so he's more healthy in the long term," his owner Dee said.
Deco before
Three-year-old Deco likes to follow around the grandkids and scoop up whatever food they drop.
Starting weight: 97.7 lbs
Percent overweight: 27 percent
Ideal weight: 77.2 lbs
Deco before
Deco is "incredibly greedy," and will eat anything he can get his paws on. He once stole and ate 36 buns that his owner's grandchildren had just baked, but oddly enough, he managed to leave all the paper cases lined up on the floor. His owners are very careful not to leave food out at all, and they've also politely asked the neighbors not to throw treats over the fence for him.
Deco after
Finishing weight: 80 lbs
Total weight lost: 17.6 lbs (18 percent)
Waist decrease: 7.1 inches
Deco after
Deco's owners said they want to continue to lose weight and Deco is on track to reach his target weight. The dog is rather young, so they hope they can give him a long -- and healthy -- life.
He still begs for treats, however.
Billy before
Billy is a Cocker spaniel with a passion for food, food and more food.
Starting weight: 51.6 lbs
Percent overweight: 34 percent
Ideal weight: 38.6 lbs
Billy before
The 6-year-old pooch loves vegetables -- but only when they are covered with gravy. His owners cut down on portions, walked him three times a day, but he still didn't lose weight and was having a hard time going up the stairs.
Billy after
Finishing weight: 36.6 lbs
Total weight lost: 15.2 lbs (29 percent)
Waist decrease: 5.9 inches
Billy after
"Billy runs around now without getting out of breath and is generally happier in everything he does," his owner said. "He definitely has a new spring in his step and I think he actually smiles."
Alfie before
Alfie has a sweet tooth and loves custard cremes.
Starting weight: 115.7 lbs
Percent overweight: 22 percent
Ideal weight: 94.8 lbs
Alfie after
Finishing weight: 113.8 lbs
Total weight lost: 2 lbs (2 percent)
Waist decrease: 0.8 inches
"Alfie is a lot healthier now and much more active," his owner explained. "He's built up a lot of muscle. The vets tell me that muscle weighs more than fat and that's the reason why, although he's lost weight, he's struggled to lose more. He's not limping anymore and he's not in as much pain."
Billie before
Billie, a black and white tom cat, always had a big and unhealthy appetite.
Starting weight: 19.2 lbs
Percent overweight: 93 percent
Ideal weight: 9.9 lbs
Billie before
"Billie is a lovely old gentleman who would eat all the time if I let him," owner Vilma Warren said. "His favorite meal is white fish, but even when he's just had his meal he still looks for more and it has been hard to deny him especially since we lost Bobby who had been his companion for 11 years. I'm sure he will enjoy life and maybe the great outdoors far more when he has lost a few excess pounds."
Billie after
Finishing weight: 14.8 lbs
Total weight lost: 4.4 lbs (23 percent)
Waist decrease: 5.5 inches
Billie after
"Billie is a lot more active since he's lost weight, and loves to chase his ball," his owner said. "It's almost like he's a kitten again, and in fact he loves to play with the two kittens next door and it's wonderful to see him enjoying himself."
Bobby before
Bobby is a Mini Lop rabbit whose double chin made it hard for her to groom herself.
Starting weight: 5.3 lbs
Percent overweight: 49 percent
Ideal weight: 3.5 lbs
Bobby before
"When I noticed (she couldn't groom herself) I asked my vet about it, and she said that Bobby could do with losing a few pounds," his owner Becky Magson said. "I'm already quite careful with her food, making sure she has plenty of hay and very rarely giving her sugary treats like carrots, although I suspect she pinches some of her companion Huey's food when I'm not looking."
Bobby after
Finishing weight: 3.7 lbs
Total weight lost: 1.5 lbs (29 percent)
Waist decrease: 2.4 inches
Bobby after
"It's clear that Bobby is so much happier now - she even does binkies now, which I never saw her do before," Becky said. (Non-rabbit owners, bunny binky videos abound on YouTube. Warning: They're adorable.) "She can also groom herself properly and is much more alert. Her relationship with my other rabbit, Lucy, has blossomed and they have become great playmates, and this has also had the added benefit of increasing Bobby's activity levels," her owner explained.
Casper before
Casper was rescued when she was a flea-infested, underweight kitten in a home overrun by cats. Since then, she's always been hungry no matter what she eats.
Starting weight: 19 lbs
Percent overweight: 91 percent
Ideal weight: 9.9 lbs
Casper before
Casper lives with fellow feline Cracker, who is the perfect weight for his size, and a super-trim Jack Russell terrier called Timmy, meaning there is always lots of food around for a greedy cat to steal. Christine has now resorted to feeding Cracker on top of the freezer, as Casper is too fat to jump up and steal the food from there. But he still steals the dog biscuits if he gets the opportunity.
Casper after
Finishing weight: 15.3 lbs
Total weight lost: 3.6 lbs (19 percent)
Waist decrease: 5.1 lbs
"Casper is so much more active now -- he runs and jumps, and he loves to play and chase our other cat which he never did before. He's definitely much happier and will hopefully live to a grand old age now. He can also groom himself properly now, as he struggled before," his owner said.
Dexter before
Dexter started to gain flab after he got neutered.
Starting weight: 48.2 lbs
Percent overweight: 90 percent
Ideal weight: 26.5 lbs
Dexter after
Finishing weight: 44.3 lbs
Total weight lost: 3.9 lbs (8 percent)
Waist decrease: 4.3 inches
"I have enjoyed taking part in the competition and although Dexter's not lost a huge amount of weight, he seems like a totally different dog. He's got a much higher exercise tolerance than he did before and that's great when we're going on walks," his owner said.
Max before
Max is a 2-year-old Labrador whose owners admit they gave him too many treats.
Starting weight: 118.6 lbs
Percent overweight: 58 percent
Ideal weight: 75 lbs
Max before
Max always got extra portions and treats, but really let himself go after he was neutered. He's also known to sulk for days if he doesn't get his favorite treat.
Max after
Finishing weight: 95.3 lbs
Total weight lost: 23.3 lbs (20 percent)
Waist decrease: 5.9 inches
Max after
"He loves long walks with me along the beach now, whereas before he'd only last about ten minutes before getting tired -- now he runs out in front," his owner said.
"Max took to the diet really well; he never really got many treats anyway so we just had to adjust his portion sizes. We didn't realize how much we were over-feeding him before, but with advice from the vet it was really easy to get this right. We'll be continuing with the diet and the regular weight checks until he gets to his perfect weight."
Mini Moo before
Mini Moo is a morbidly obese cat.
Starting weight: 21.4 lbs
Percent overweight: 94 percent
Ideal weight: 11 lbs
Mini Moo before
Mini Moo's owner got sick and had a hard time taking care of the cat.
"Moo's weight problems started when I was diagnosed with lupus, an immune system illness, a few years ago," the owner said. "The illness means I need to rest and while Moo is fantastic company, lying on the sofa with me and giving me cuddles, unfortunately it has led to her gaining an enormous amount of weight. I have two other cats that are a healthy shape, but Moo's size has got out of control."
Mini Moo after
Finishing weight: 18 lbs
Total weight lost: 3.4 lbs (16 percent)
Waist decreased: 5.1 inches
Mini Moo after
"Mini Moo is so much happier now, she loves going out in the garden now and is a lot more active, plus she's more feisty," her owner said. "It has been a bit of a battle of wills as she steals food at any opportunity and she continues to beg, but I've changed my mindset now and I give her alternative treats like catnip, or playtime, as I never want her to get that big again."
Romeo before
Romeo is a 4-year-old Labrador who loves to snack.
Starting weight: 130 pounds
Percent overweight: 47 percent
Ideal weight: 88.2 pounds
Romeo before
Romeo was guilty of eating his daily portion of dog food, plus scraps and treats -- and leftovers, when he was given them.
Romeo after
Finishing weight: 112.9 lbs
Total weight lost: 17.1 lbs (13 percent)
Waist decrease: 4.3 inches
Romeo after
"Romeo was already having two walks a day before we started the Pet Fit Club diet and now he enjoys the walks so much he actually has spurts of energy where he seems to want to run!" owner Lorette said. "He accepted the diet as he has always accepted any food and that's with great relish. But he misses his treats and is never far away when meals are put on the table. I must admit to feeling a little guilty that I can't give him anything even though I know resisting those big brown eyes is in Romeo's best interest."
"I intend to continue with the diet to help Romeo achieve his goal. We enjoy going for walks and it's our special time together. I know some owners think it's a chore but playing fetch and walking briskly is good for him and it keeps me fit too. I can see he is slimmer and his back and waist are more defined and I'm so proud of him. More than that, I know he is a fantastic dog with a super personality and I want him to be happy and healthy and enjoy the longest life possible."
Skippy before
Springer Spaniel Skippy was guilty of begging for scraps and snacking on Sunday Roast.
Starting weight: 70.1 pounds
Percentage overweight: 45 percent
Ideal weight: 48.5 pounds
Skippy before
"He's one of the family and we just want to do the best for him. The weight has crept on gradually over time but for the good of his health he needs to slim down," owner Marilyn Smith said.
Skippy after
Finishing weight: 58.8 pounds
Total weight lost: 11.24 (16 percent)
Waist decrease: 5.12 inches
Skipper after
Skippy's owner Marilyn said: "In the beginning he didn't want to eat the diet food and we had to persuade him to tuck in, but in the last three months he's been fine. I've really enjoyed it and I'm very pleased with what Skippy's achieved and the amount of weight he's lost. As a result, he's a lot brighter and a lot fitter and he runs around a lot more than he did before. He's so much more alert."

Time for the Mad Sosh's Lineup Card Party to Wind Down
I was going to bite my tongue and just post my photos from Sunday's Fan Fest and ensuing disappointing game. I was going to refrain from ranting and just see how things worked out for a little while longer, really I was. And then, this evening. Yuck!!! …only, I didn't say yuck.
< rant >
Yes, Ervin Santana gave up five runs, four of them solo homeruns. Yes, the team was facing David Price. But five runs should not be an insurmountable deficit, especially with these bats in the lineup. The offense needs to find their swings, find their chemistry and start producing and, although it's only April, they need to do it quickly before we fall too much farther in the hole. But one thing that would seriously help is a having a set lineup.
Look, I love Mike Scioscia and am absolutely not part of the crowd calling for his head, but the another day, another lineup thing has got to stop. 15 different lineups in the first 17 games is Lewis Carroll levels of ridiculous without any of Lewis Carroll's awesomeness to me…hence my rusty attempts at cartooning. (Be kind. This is the first time I've put pencil to drawing pad with any greater cartooning intent than amusing my niece and nephew in years. *nervous giggle*)
Think about it, 15 lineups and none of them have worked? How do we really know that? I mean, did they really not work, or did they just not work that day? Because expecting to be able to assess a lineup accurately after just one game is kind of like going speed dating and expecting a marriage proposal from someone by the end of the evening. And if all Scioscia is trying to do is find a lineup that produces, why didn't he stick with any of the lineups he used in games the Angels won? Clearly I'm not a baseball manager, but does this make sense to anyone?
We have pitchers with radically different styles and, apparently, way more depth than is good for us. I understand this. So if Scioscia can't come up with just one lineup to stick with – and I do get that – than how about one lineup for fly ball pitchers and one lineup for ground ball pitchers or something like that? Restricting the crazy lineup roulette to two or three in some sort of regular rotation would surely be an improvement.
Again, I have no delusions of grandeur that I am some sort of baseball managing genius but certain things just seem obvious, especially after a few games. Albert Pujols should not be DHing, at least not this year, next year or any year so long as keeps making those outrageous defensive plays. Good God damn, that man can move. Young guys like Howie Kendrick, Erick Aybar and Peter Bourjos, who have a set position they aren't experimenting with or trying out for should not sit out a game to "rest" unless there are legitimate reasons they need to rest and by that I mean illness and injuries. And they should have a static position in the lineup to go with their regular playtime. Howie was hitting! He was hitting a ton. Then he sat out a day and now he's not hitting anymore. Yes, he should do his best to maintain his own rhythm but shouldn't the lineup support him in this endeavor?
Also, Mark Trumbo needs to be in the lineup as often as possible, and Kendrys Morales needs to be in it more often than not. And leave Torii Hunter in right. Yes, I realize that doesn't leave a whole lot of wiggle room. Scioscia is left with flopping Trumbo, Maicer Izturis and Alberto Callaspo at third; Trumbo and Vernon Wells in left; and Kendrys and Bobby Abreu at DH, because let's be honest here, neither of them should be playing anywhere on the field right now. But he doesn't need a whole lot of wiggle room with only two or three lineups on a regular schedule, now does he?
</ rant >
Am I sure the Angels will turn it around eventually? Absolutely. Am I sure it will happen in enough time to matter? Not completely, no. Especially not with the rate at which Texas is tearing through the opposition. I'm not giving up by any means – Hello, it's April! – but something needs to change and fast…seriously guys. Don't make me turn this blog around and start cartooning again. 😉
And, while we're at it, Torii and Vernon (Because, yes, of course the Angels read this blog. Why do you ask? ;)), quit messing with Peter Bourjos' walk. I don't know for certain that that is what's messing with his swing, but something sure is so you might as well cool it just in case.
Okay. Now </ rant >

Those of you who've spent time in Caribbean or "true" Mexican restaurants will be familiar with fried plantains. For the rest of you, this is a treat you simply cannot miss. Eaten as an appetizer, dessert or snack, they're fantastic! If you can't get plantains (they look like giant, dark green bananas), use regular bananas that still have some green on the skins. Do NOT use fully ripe bananas, or you'll end up with batter-coated sugar goo -- tasty, but hard to eat.
2 plantains (or 4 half-ripe bananas)
½ c. all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tbsp. cornstarch
¼ c. granulated sugar
½ tsp. kosher salt
½ c. cool water
Powdered sugar and cinnamon for dusting
Preheat oil in deep fryer to 375° F.
Peel the plantains and slice on a diagonal into 1-inch thick slices.
Sift together dry ingredients in medium bowl. Gradually add water, whisking constantly, until batter coats the back of a spoon. (NOTE: you may not need all the water. Add GRADUALLY)
Dip slices in batter, coating thoroughly. Using tongs, move slices from batter to oil, shaking off excess batter thoroughly. Fry, turning often, 2-4 minutes or until golden brown.
Place on racks over paper towels to drain and dust immediately with cinnamon and sugar.

Spring has crept up to the foothills of the Himalayas and, in Islamabad, Pakistan's purpose-built capital, the air is full of the scent of roses and the yelling of birds.
Yet, even in this most stately of South Asian cities, it is impossible to escape the realities of an unstable nation that has yet to figure out how to meet some of the basic needs of its 200 million or so citizens.
Islamabad long ago adjusted to attacks by Islamist militants by setting up roadblocks and turning its government buildings, five-star hotels, villas and diplomatic enclaves into modern-day fortresses, wrapped in razor wire and blast barriers and monitored by a multitude of security cameras and armed guards.
But the more recent blot on the life of the city is much more mundane: It comprises long lines of angry and frustrated motorists, parked along the edge of Islamabad's tree-lined avenues, waiting for hours to refuel their vehicles.
For "long" — read huge. Some of these lines stretch well over a mile. Drivers say it sometimes takes four hours to reach the gas station.
A Cheaper, Cleaner Alternative
The problem is caused by a major shortage of CNG, or compressed natural gas. Pakistan has millions of cars equipped to run on CNG, more — say officials — than anywhere else in the world.
These vehicles include the small and battered yellow Suzuki taxi driven by Abdul Majid. Majid's taxi is about midway in a line for a distant gas station; he says he's already been waiting for an hour and a half.
He is so bored and fed up with spending half his life in a queue that he's talking about giving up the taxi trade altogether and finding something else. He might be forced to. He says his meager daily take-home pay of about $10 has dropped by half. Like many cars here, his taxi actually can also run on gasoline — but that's three times more expensive and would eliminate his tiny profit margin. Thus, the huge lines.
With a family of six to feed, Majid says he's struggling: "For [the past] three days, I have no bread at home."
Pakistan's government started encouraging people to use CNG about 10 years ago. It wanted to cut the country's hefty bill for imported oil and use Pakistan's domestic gas reserves instead. CNG has the added benefit of being cleaner and cheaper than regular gasoline. At first, the plan was a huge success.
Then, the problems began.
A Solar Solution For The People
As industry and the public competed for energy amid massive and unrelenting power outages, demand for natural gas soared. A court ruled CNG retailers were making excessive profits and ordered a cap on prices, causing hundreds of CNG suppliers to close down. Separatist insurgents in Pakistan's Baluchistan province — where a lot of the gas comes from — regularly bombed the pipelines. CNG began to look like a bad idea.
When adversity strikes in Pakistan — as it does, regularly — someone usually fights back.
Enter Aslam Azad.
Five years back, Azad began what became a kind of personal mission to find an answer to Pakistan's CNG crisis.
He spent some $500,000 of his own money on creating a car powered by the sun. The prototype looks like a golf cart with solar panels on the roof, hood and sides.
But looks aren't important right now, says Azad; the snazzy design will come later.
Azad is managing director of a company that specializes in heating and cooling systems and has won some lucrative contracts over the years. But he says building the solar car is not about profit: "This is because my people needs me," he explained, as he drove this correspondent slowly through Islamabad in his solar-powered buggy.
"I'm pretty sure this is what we are looking for," he continued. "This will solve the problems of people, and the lines, and the financial crisis."
The car is powered by solar and kinetic energy (the engine becomes a generator when it's coasting). At present, it can run for about 50 miles a day before recharging, but Azad is planning to replace the current battery-run system with technology that will increase its range by up to five times.
Many other pioneers around the world are also working on solar-powered vehicles, often hybrids, but Azad says his car has the advantage of being unusually inexpensive — just a couple of thousand dollars.
He's confident Pakistan's government will grant him a manufacturing license in the coming months, and that Pakistan's angry and frustrated motorists will leap at the chance to get out of line, and buy his car: "I am pretty sure this will succeed. I have no doubt. I just have no doubt."
Cabbie Ahktar Farooq says he can't afford a solar car; all the same, he eagerly hopes for its introduction, in the hope that other people can.
After spending four hours in one of those giant lines, Farooq has given up hope. The gas station's about to close; he is heading home. It's always like this, he says. "Sometimes we get it [the CNG] and sometimes we don't get it and we just go home, with empty hands."
Pakistan is a country where no matter what kind of problem arises, someone is dreaming up a fix. For example, Pakistani drivers often have to waste hours every day lining up for fuel before they can even get their cars on the road. And now one driver and entrepreneur is trying to tackle this problem by reaching for the skies.
NPR's Philip Reeves sent us this postcard from the capital, Islamabad.
PHILIP REEVES, BYLINE: Spring in Islamabad should be a happy time of year. The roses are in full bloom. The birds are in full song. So why are so many people here so angry?
ABDUL MAJID: (Foreign language spoken)
REEVES: Islamabad is a modern city, purpose-built in the '60s as the nation's capital. The center has a lot of wide, straight roads.
I'm driving along a big avenue and there's a huge line of parked vehicles and a lot of angry looking people. This is a common sight in Pakistan these days. These people are lining up for hours to fill up their cars. I've been measuring this line while driving along, and it's way over a mile to the gas station.
REEVES: These drivers are waiting to fill up with CNG, compressed natural gas. Pakistan has more cars powered by CNG than anywhere else in the world.
Abdul Majid drives a cab. He spends half his working day waiting in line.
MAJID: (Through translator) I have been here for two hours and the gas station is still two kilometers away.
REEVES: He has to do this almost every day, he says. He's losing so much driving time that his daily income of about 10 bucks is down by half.
REEVES: Pakistan's government started encouraging everyone to use CNG about 10 years ago. It wanted to cut its bill for imported oil and use domestic gas reserves instead. CNG is also cleaner and cheaper than regular gasoline. The plan was a huge success, at first. Then the problems started. Demand for natural gas soared. Hundreds of CNG stations closed after the courts put a cap on prices. And separatists in Balochistan Province, where a lot of the gas comes from, regularly bomb the pipelines. Now there's a severe shortage.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: (Foreign language spoken)
REEVES: Enter Aslam Azad. Five years back, Azad embarked on a personal mission to find an answer to Pakistan's fuel crisis. He spent $500,000 of his own money and countless evenings designing a car powered by the sun. It looks like a golf cart with solar panels on the roof, hood and sides. But looks aren't important right now, says Azad. The snazzy design will come later.
It's very simple, just two pedals...
ASLAM AZAD: Yeah,
REEVES: ...the break and accelerator.
AZAD: Yeah. Yeah, accelerator and drive. You see, here's the drive, the reverse and neutral. That's it.
REEVES: It's the world's simplest car.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Very nice, we like.
AZAD: Thank you.
REEVES: We go for a spin. Azad heads a big company that specializes in heating and cooling systems and has made a lot of money. That's not why he created his solar car, he says.
AZAD: No, no. It's I did not did this for money basically. This is because my people needs me. I'm pretty sure this is what we are looking for. And this will solve the problem of people and the lines and the financial crisis.
REEVES: The car has a battery powered by solar and kinetic energy. The engine becomes a generator when it's coasting. It can do about 50 miles a day. But Azad says he hopes soon to boost its range greatly.
Others around the world are also pioneering solar-powered cars, often hybrids. Azad says his will be unusually cheap - just a couple of thousand dollars. He's certain that once he gets a manufacturing license, Pakistanis will snap it up.
AZAD: I have no doubt. I just have no doubt.
REEVES: Back in the giant line for CNG, taxi driver Akhtar Farooq has given up hope. The gas station is still hundreds of yards away and now it's about to close.
AKHTAR FAROOQ: (Through translator) It depends on luck. Sometimes we get it. And sometimes we don't get it and we just go home with empty hands.
REEVES: For Farooq, Pakistan's solar car can't come soon enough.

1For the director. Do not destroy.* A miktam of David, when Saul sent people to watch his house and kill him.a
2Rescue me from my enemies, my God;
lift me out of reach of my foes.
3Deliver me from evildoers;
from the bloodthirsty save me.
4They have set an ambush for my life;
the powerful conspire against me.
For no offense or misdeed of mine, LORD,
5for no fault they hurry to take up arms.
Come near and see my plight!
6You, LORD God of hosts, are the God of Israel!
Awake! Punish all the nations.
Have no mercy on these worthless traitors.
7Each evening they return,
growling like dogs, prowling the city.b
8Their mouths pour out insult;
sharp words are on their lips.
They say: "Who is there to hear?"*
9But you, LORD, laugh at them;
you deride all the nations.c
10My strength, for you I watch;
you, God, are my fortress,
11my loving God.
May God go before me,
and show me my fallen foes.
12Slay them not, God,
lest they deceive my people.
Shake them by your power;
Lord, our shield, bring them down.
13For the sinful words of their mouths and lips
let them be caught in their pride.
For the lies they have told under oathd
14destroy them in anger,
destroy till they are no more.
Then people will know God rules over Jacob,
yes, even to the ends of the earth.e
15Each evening they return,
growling like dogs, prowling the city.
16They roam about as scavengers;
if they are not filled, they howl.
17But I shall sing of your strength,
extol your mercy at dawn,
For you are my fortress,
my refuge in time of trouble.
18My strength, your praise I will sing;
you, God, are my fortress, my loving God.
* [Psalm 59] A lament in two parts (Ps 59:2–9, 11b–17), each ending in a refrain (Ps 59:10, 18). Both parts alternate prayer for vindication (Ps 59:2–3, 4b–5, 11b–14) with vivid depictions of the psalmist's enemies (Ps 59:4–5a, 7–8, 15–16). The near curse in Ps 59:12–13 is not a crude desire for revenge but a wish that God's just rule over human affairs be recognized now.
* [59:1] Do not destroy: probably the title of the melody to which the Psalm was to be sung.
* [59:8] Who is there to hear?: a sample of the enemies' godless reflection. The answer is that God hears their blasphemies.
a. [59:1] 1 Sm 19:11.
c. [59:9] Ps 2:4; 37:13; Wis 4:18.

Blush nails
Women hands, in particular blush nails, require special care, as they are always visible. At the first contact, the person pays attention to this part of the body. If there is no manicure, the girl will expose herself in a negative light. The skin of the whole body, and especially the skin of the hands, is very often exposed to the environment. Winds, frosts and even the sun have a detrimental effect on it. At home, your skin is also far from safe, its condition is constantly affected by soap, powders, detergents and eventually ordinary water. And if you do not protect your skin in time, then in the near future it will become dry and wrinkled.
In order to bring your skin in order, you should observe the necessary care for your hands and blush nails and then, even in old age, your skin will be several years younger.

The Potter's Vessel.* 1This word came to Jeremiah from the LORD: 2Arise and go down to the potter's house; there you will hear my word. 3I went down to the potter's house and there he was, working at the wheel. 4Whenever the vessel of clay he was making turned out badly in his hand, he tried again, making another vessel of whatever sort he pleased.a 5Then the word of the LORD came to me: 6Can I not do to you, house of Israel, as this potter has done?—oracle of the LORD. Indeed, like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.b 7c At one moment I may decree concerning a nation or kingdom that I will uproot and tear down and destroy it; 8but if that nation against whom I have decreed turns from its evil, then I will have a change of heart regarding the evil which I have decreed.d 9At another moment, I may decree concerning a nation or kingdom that I will build up and plant it; 10but if that nation does what is evil in my eyes, refusing to obey my voice, then I will have a change of heart regarding the good with which I planned to bless it.e
11And now, tell this to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus says the LORD: Look, I am fashioning evil against you and making a plan. Return, all of you, from your evil way; reform your ways and your deeds.f 12But they will say, "No use! We will follow our own devices; each one of us will behave according to the stubbornness of our evil hearts!"g
13Therefore thus says the LORD:
Ask among the nations—
who has ever heard the like?
Truly horrible things
virgin Israel has done!h
14Does the snow of Lebanon*
desert the rocky heights?
Do the gushing waters dry up
that flow fresh down the mountains?
15Yet my people have forgotten me:
they offer incense in vain.
They stumble off their paths,
the ways of old,
Traveling on bypaths,
not the beaten track.i
16Their land shall be made a waste,
an object of endless hissing:*
All passersby will be horrified,
shaking their heads.j
17Like the east wind, I will scatter them
before their enemies;
I will show them my back, not my face,
in their day of disaster.k
Another Prayer for Vengeance. 18"Come," they said, "let us devise a plot against Jeremiah, for instruction will not perish from the priests, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophets. Come, let us destroy him by his own tongue. Let us pay careful attention to his every word."l
19Pay attention to me, O LORD,
and listen to what my adversaries say.
20Must good be repaid with evil
that they should dig a pit to take my life?
Remember that I stood before you
to speak on their behalf,
to turn your wrath away from them.m
21So now, give their children* to famine,n
deliver them to the power of the sword.
Let their wives be childless and widows;
let their husbands die of pestilence,
their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.
22May cries be heard from their homes,
when suddenly you send plunderers against them.
For they have dug a pit to capture me,
they have hidden snares for my feet;
23But you, LORD, know
all their planning for my death.
Do not forgive their crime,
and their sin do not blot out from your sight!
Let them stumble before you,
in the time of your anger act against them.o
* [18:1–12] The lesson of the potter is that God has the power to destroy or restore, changing his plans accordingly as these nations disobey him or fulfill his will. Cf. Jon 3:10.
* [18:14] Lebanon: here apparently including Mount Hermon, whose snow-capped peak can be seen from parts of Palestine all year round. The prophet contrasts the certainties of nature with Israel's unnatural desertion of the Lord for idols (v. 15).
* [18:16] Hissing: in some ancient Near Eastern cultures hissing was not only a sign of derision but a magical means of keeping demons away; people hissed in order to ward off danger, like whistling in a cemetery.
* [18:21] Give their children: often an extended family is meant, to be rewarded or punished as a unit.
d. [18:8] Jer 26:3; Is 55:7; Ez 18:21, 27; Jon 3:10.
f. [18:11] Jer 7:3; 25:5; 35:15.
j. [18:16] Jer 19:8; Lv 26:32; 1 Kgs 9:8.

After being rocked by the Great Recession, local builder and one-time industry powerhouse Bruce Williams Homes is experiencing a sales turnaround.
Sales at Williams Homes grew by 100 percent last year compared with 2011, the result of an uptick in both new home sales and renovations. In Lakewood Ranch alone, the company built 24 custom homes last year -- more than double the amount of 2011.
Williams Homes' properties ranged in price from $250,000 to $2 million, with the average house hovering around $550,000, the company noted. Additionally, renovations grew by about 50 percent.
"We were one of the first to go down in the crash, and now we are one of the first to come out," said Britt Williams, president of Bruce Williams Homes, which was formed by his father and a partner more than 40 years ago. "We're starting to see that with existing homes and new construction."
Williams Homes is the latest in a series of local builders, including Neal Communities, Medallion Home and London Bay, to report a resurgence of sales for the first time since the 2007 crash.
But for Williams Homes, the growth was especially gratifying and professionally vital. Though its payroll once topped all other local homebuilders, Williams Homes has had to whittle its full-time staff from 107 during the mid-2000s boom to just nine today.
"We used to be the biggest local builder," Williams said. "Now, we just want to be the best."
The company this month also was named the exclusive builder for remaining homes in the Winding River community, in east Manatee County. Winding River debuted in 2005, but the 107-acre community off Upper Manatee River Road, today has just 14 completed homes.
Williams Homes will develop the remaining 48 sites, with houses ranging from 2,600 square feet to 5,000 square feet. Prices will start in the low $400,000s. The first model there is scheduled to open in August, the company said.
Williams Homes' sales again growing

Over half of Scotland's population lives within a short distance of the River Clyde, from its humble beginnings in South Lanarkshire where it is created by two streams the Patrail Water and the Daer Water, the two streams meet at Watermeetings where the River Clyde starts.
It's not long before it reaches picturesque Lanark and its famous waterfalls. It eventually finds its way to Glasgow who's citizens in the 18th century narrowed and deepened and ultimately industrialised the river making it one of the most famous shipbuilding rivers in the world, Glasgow did indeed make the Clyde and of course the Clyde made Glasgow, at its peak the Clyde shipyards built a fifth of the worlds ships.
During the 2nd world war Winston Churchill said that "Liverpool and Glasgow were the lungs in which the country breathed through". Ship building along with heavy industry is all but dead on the Clyde, the majority of our industrial heritage was swept away in the 70s and 80s leaving few traces of the rivers famous past.
Leaving Glasgow, the Clyde broadens as you pass the towns of Dumbarton, Port Glasgow and Greenock, who all played a part in making the Clyde famous through shipbuilding.
At the Tail of the Bank the river broadens once more and becomes the firth with its many sea lochs coastal towns and villages.

CERA reaches the community beyond Grinnell College to actively engage local public school children and learners of all ages in studying all facets of prairie life. Tours are provided each year for Grinnell alumni, visiting scholars, prospective students and faculty, K-12 students in local schools, conservation organizations, and the general public. The lab facility also conducts field-based workshops open to the public.
You will need free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF files on this site.
Trail Map
Trail signage is in place to guide you along trails through savanna, forest, and prairie habitats.
Driving Directions
Take Interstate-80 west from Grinnell to Exit 173.
Go north on Hwy 224 and take the first gravel road on the right (S 12th Ave. E).
Follow it east about 1.5 miles to the main entrance of CERA.
Watch for our main entrance sign.
The objectives of the following regulations are to prevent disturbance of research and conservation projects and to preserve the area's aesthetic qualities and natural condition:
- Motorized vehicles are allowed only on the roads shown on the map. Please park in the designated areas.
- Bicycles may be used on roads and mowed firebreaks, but not on the woodland trails. Horses are prohibited.
- We encourage you to hike the marked trails or mowed firebreaks. You may leave the trails, but please do not enter the experimental areas (F and G on trail map). Do not disturb any equipment, flags, stakes, or markers; they may be part of an ongoing study.
- Removal of anything is prohibited. Please do not pick flowers or disturb plants, fungi, or animals. Fishing and hunting are prohibited.
- Do not leave any trash.
For Community Explorers
Public programs will be listed on the CERA Calendar. We will also plan special events during Parents' Weekend and Alumni Weekend.
For Educators
CERA is an exciting place to learn about science!
If you don't believe us, just ask a student who has already visited CERA. Below you will read about two of these visits.
North Mahaska Elementary School Science Field Day
The 5th grade class visited CERA in mid-October for a day filled with opportunities to hone mapping and orientation skills, learn about prairies, savannas, and even a few edible and "scratch-n-sniff" plants, figure out what kinds of information a weather station collects, and explore the art of fishing (catch-n-release style) and microscopic pond life. A huge thanks to Mr. Van Hulzen and Mrs. Boots (North Mahaska 5th grade teachers), parent chaperones, the bus driver, and our field technician for making this a fun learning experience at CERA! Let's do it again next year!
Prairie Insect Diversity and Study
Grinnell's Davis Elementary School fourth graders visited CERA again this fall to use microscopes to examine prairie insects that they collected in the field. They also completed a second year of counting and monitoring populations of six butterfly species. The goal of the trip was to enhance the students' current science unit, butterflies and insects, with hands-on outdoor activities. Over a dozen Grinnell College faculty, staff, and student volunteers assisted with the activities. Visit the Center for Prairie Studies website (outreach page) for more details.
Scheduling a Tour
We are very happy to provide tours of CERA for staff, faculty, and students in tutorials and classes from all disciplines on campus. We ask that you contact Larissa Mottl to schedule a guided tour at least two weeks in advance. A typical walking tour to observe and discuss the habitats, restoration work, and experiments at CERA and its lab facility will last 1-1.5 hours. For a tour focusing on a specific topic of interest to your class, please send your class syllabus and discuss your interests with the CERA Manager or CERA Director in advance.
Classes must provide their own transportation to CERA. Plan on a 20-minute drive from Grinnell to CERA taking Hwy 6.
Trail maps and CERA brochures will be distributed to the group at CERA or you may request that they be sent to you in advance of the trip. Alternatively, download a trail map.
Visit the Center for Prairie Studies website for outreach and special projects. If you are interested in visiting other natural areas near Grinnell, their 2004 (Third Edition) publication Guide to Prairie Sites Near Grinnell, Iowa is available (PDF).
Volunteer Information
There are many ways you can contribute to CERA. As a volunteer you can learn more about natural history, natural resource management and restoration, and environmental education. Volunteer opportunities include seed collecting, seed cleaning, brush clearing, prescribed burning, photodocumentation, biological data entry, assisting with elementary school field trips, leading interpretative tours and wildflower walks, monitoring of field research projects, and other special projects.
View our Volunteer Opportunities Brochure (285KB) for more details, or contact the CERA Manager to receive email notifications of upcoming opportunities.
Prescribed Burns
The majority of prescribed burns are conducted in the spring (late-March through early May) and fall (November-December). We have one set of small experimental prairie plots that receive a summer burn treatment in late August. We plan prescribed burns for experimental prairie plots each year in the spring and fall and each fall for our forest plots. Prescribed burns in other areas are determined year to year based primarily upon management and restoration needs. Fire is used to control invasive species, prevent establishment of woody species in grassland areas, alter the dominance of certain vegetation types, prepare an area for seeding, or to research the effects of fire on a myriad of physical and biological characteristics of prairie, savanna, and forest ecosystems.
We cannot schedule prescribed burns more than a few days in advance because they depend on weather conditions. Consequently, it is often difficult to find help beyond our core group of faculty and staff. We rely heavily on a pool of volunteers who we can contact via email or phone a day or two in advance of a burn. A final "it's a go" email or phone call is made to volunteers the day of or within a few hours of the start time for the burn.
More information on prescribed burns is in the following documents. If you are interested in helping, contact the CERA Manager.

- Burn Training Presentation (This presentation was split into two files to make the file sizes more manageable.)

Christian Louboutin Size Chart:
Maintenance Notice
1.When wearing new shoes for the first time, it is always a good idea to choose an outing where you will not be in them for longer than a few hours. Even the most expensive shoes will need a few wearers to begin to conform your specific foot dimensions.
2.New Louboutin should be painted with shoe polish before you wear it to protect new shoes and spray with water mist. The above two steps are concerned to the age of the shoes. Buy new shoes, if you rub shoe polish on before you wear, the shoes will keep looking new for a long time.
3.Allow yourself the time to stretch them out and to make them more comfortable. When you first start breaking in a pair of heels you will need to limit the time you are in them, the first week starting at 15minutes and extending to 45minutes. After the first week, I would remove the socks and just wear them barefoot.
4. The best thing about a nice pair of superior dress shoes is that, with the proper upkeep and maintenance, they will last well past the time that less expensive brands have given out.
5. Maintaining comfort can be done a few ways. You simply rub the stick on sensitive areas on your feet that are prone to blisters/sores ie: heels, toes, sides of your feet. This product is also nice and small which makes carrying it around all day or night a breeze. When choosing the heels, think about your height limits and how high you are willing to go. When are the shoes going to be worn and are you able to maintain a high heel through a longer period of time while the shoes are being worn? High heels are some of the most popular choices for women seeking a new pair of trendy shoes to complete the shoe collection this summer. The popular and strappy look of the sandals is one of the most popular ways that woman can step up an outfit, with strappy shoes that can reach mid calf and even up the knee.

Out of the Void Poster by Bebops
I am constantly astonished and entranced by the myriad forms of life on this planet. To quote one of my very favorite authors, Annie Dillard, in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, "the creator has pizzazz".
I hope to display a variety of animal images on this blog to delight us all. I have created many products featuring wildlife and pets for my Zazzle stores, Bebop's Place and Bebop's Weddings, using my original photographs and designs. I am also constantly amazed at the gorgeous animal products available from the rest of the Zazzle community. I am hoping others will enjoy this blog and even be moved to purchase some of these lovely items for gifts or just for the pleasure of having such beauty around.

GiC, I tip my hat to you sir! Great choice. All day! I suspect my Romanian girlfriend thinks I might have a crush on him. We went to Barnes and Noble and I thumbed thru a coupla' books about him. I was seven years old when he passed. My mamma cried and cried, but so did the whole state of Kentucky where we lived. So so sad.
Ever pentacostal I talk to essentially see 90% of secular music evil and they listen all to "christian"music with their stupifying hypnotic rhythms!! its good to see everyone listens to such a diverse range of music. Also just curious does anyone listen to christian music?
Ironically, the Bad Brains have also got a lot of playtime on my iPod.
The Hunt, by Niyaz
Love these guys and gal! Azam Ali reminds me of a Persian Celine Dion...
Subdivisions, by Rush
Right now, I admit, I'm listening to a blast from the past:The Humpty Dance. And No Nose Job.
NO need to insult Azam like that!
Alright stop what you're doin' cuz I'm about the ruin the image and the style that you're used to....
I can't listen to music while I'm working. I have to be doing something like typing or reading on then net or driving a car. I was a music man you see, and I like listen intently to music, especially those who make thier music with complicated rhythms and unusual keys, like Rush, or E Muzeki.
