Into The Wild - CSI #20
I put together a layout this weekend based on
Challenge #20
at Color, Stories, Inspiration and used the
May Sketch
at C'est Magnifique as inspiration for the layout. This layout is a departure from my normal style - it is very cute and 'scenic', which is totally not my norm - but I'm really happy with how it turned out. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that the picture was taken in my backyard a couple of weeks ago - with the length of that grass, one would think it was an untended field somewhere (the grass has been cut since this picture and looks much tamer now....;).
I used an older Prima collection for the patterned papers for this layout - I used two papers with the same
pattern, but in different colours, from the
collection. I cut the centre out of the red sheet with my craft knife and distressed the inside and outside edges of the paper. I splattered the green (base) page with craft paint in
Light Antique White
and also added some larger
paint drops
. I used 3D foam adhesive to attach the red patterned paper on top of the base page.
I altered the sketch slightly and used a fence instead of a birdcage - I also switched the positioning of this large design element and moved it to the left side (rather than having it come down from the top of the page). I "white-washed" the fence using the same paint that I used for the splatters on the base page. I cut the fence and some of the grass sections using my silhouette; however, the longer grass section on top of the photo was cut by hand. I
staggered the heights
of the three sections of grass and layered one section in behind the fence so only a few blades would peek through the fence boards.
I used the CSI Co-ordinates as the embellishments for my layout. The journalling ticket, banner elements,
are all from the "Word Art" and "Spots" pages of the co-ordinates. I used the white paint to 'ink' the edges of all the embellishment pieces. I used baker's twine to tie the journalling ticket '
on the fence
' and as the string for the banner and added faux
to the banner pennants using a memory marker.
For the title, I used a piece of the fence (which I had cut down to the size I wanted) and turned it horizontal. I printed the title on white cardstock and cut it as a double-ended pennant and attached it to the white-washed fence board with 3D foam adhesive. I also added baker's twine to this embellishment and a small brad to make it look like a hanging sign.
That's it for today - thanks so much for visiting my blog!

I Love You More - Updated
I finally got a new layout done! It has been weeks since I have scrapped or even felt like scrapping - I totally lost my scrappy mojo for a while dealing with the flu that went through our house! I decided to take advantage of our long weekend and play along with a few challenges - the
Once Upon a Sketch
May Sketch, the
Scrap for Help
May Challenge,
The Color Room Scrap That! May Special Edition Palette
, and the
Scrap it with a Song
May 17 Challenge! I also used my Scrap That! May Kit for this layout - I just love the gorgeous Prima "Nature Garden" papers!
I flipped the sketch 180 degrees for my layout. I did lots of layering for this layout using Prima's "Nature Garden" collection papers - I also added in a doily and two old envelopes. The envelopes are for the Scrap for Help challenge - but I love how they fit in with the postcard motif in the papers. I used a Martha Stewart deep edge punch for the punched strip along the right side of the layering. All the papers are tool distressed and I used Distress Ink in
Antique Linen
on the edges of the papers. *
I had originally left off the banner and then decided that the Layout needed that extra element and added it in -- I'm glad I did too! Here is a close-up of the banner.*
I used a Dusty Attic Skeleton Clock, which I embellished with Prima flowers and Prima wooden ticket. I painted the clock with gesso, let it dry and then inked it with Distress Ink in
Vintage Photo
. I wasn't happy with the clock so I then inked it with Distress
Embossing Ink
and used Distress Embossing Powder in
Old Paper
on it.
The journalling theme at OUAS was "Mom" - so I decided to focus on my feelings about motherhood. The lyrics from "In My Life" perfectly describe how it feels when you become a mother - the feelings you had about every other relationship/thing in your life pale in comparison to what you feel for your child. I printed the journalling on my printer and cut it into strips and inked it with Distress Ink in
Antique Linen
. I used Prima Alphabet stickers for the title. Here is a close-up of my journalling/title:

Baby Mine - The Paper Mixing Bowl Challenge #3
I have a really quick post tonight of my layout for Challenge #3 - Mom's Apple Pie at
The Paper Mixing Bowl
challenge blog. I was under the weather for much of April so, not only is my layout for the May 1st challenge late, but it isn't "finished" to my satisfaction. I feel like there is "something" missing and just might have to tweak it a bit... ;)
Anyhow, I scrapped an early photo of my son - I think he is about 6 weeks old in this photo - and have called the layout "Baby Mine".
Here is the Recipe Card for this month's challenge at The Paper Mixing Bowl:
For my layout I turned the sketch 90 degrees to the right. I used a Webster's Pages die-cut paper as the base page and stitched around the edge of the page on my sewing machine. I used
paper to create the
background in the centre of the die-cut page. I used white
(gesso) to "distress" the woven kraft paper and on the
for the photo (frame by Imaginarium Designs). I added some vellum behind the lattice-work portion of the frame.
I created
handmade flowers
using my Donna Salazar
Rose Creations
die and some red and green cardstock and floral stamens. I also dry-brushed liquid pearls in
White Opal
onto the petals and leaves of the flowers.
I added my journalling on a tag that I printed on my computer - the lyrics are from the song "Baby Mine" from the Disney movie
. I layered the journalling tag on a couple of small doilies that I inked with ColorBox fluid chalk ink in
Moss Green
. I created the trinket using an empty charm to which I added a small version of the layout's main photo and then coated the charm photo with glossy accents.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog today!

Crane accidents are one possible cause of severe injury to construction workers. Those injured in a crane accident may have significant injuries which prevent them from maintaining steady employment and which require medical attention.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a crane accident while on the job, you are likely entitled to pursue benefits to address your medical bills and a portion of wages lost due to the injury. Contact a Des Moines workers' compensation attorney of LaMarca Law Group, P.C., at 877-327-2600 to discuss the details of your claim with a qualified member of our legal team.
Causes of Crane Accidents
Crane accidents pose a serious injury concern on construction sites, with many crane accidents presenting potentially fatal risks to construction workers' health. Common causes of crane accidents include:
- Power line contact
- Errors during assembly or dismantling
- Boom buckling
- Rigging failure
- Crane upset or overturn
Those injured in a crane accident may be rendered unable to work. Fortunately, an experienced legal professional can help individuals who become injured at work to receive benefits which may help them through this difficult time.

Hello again, from a rainy Perthshire. Yes, you've guessed it, the lovely warm, sunny weather didn't last very long! We've had rain for 4 days now, and I mean solid UN-relentless rain. Never mind, it has to stop sometime doesn't it? LOL!!
It is time to reveal another sketch on the Let's scrap sketch blogspot
I decided to use some photographs of Freya for this one, when I looked at the flower scroll in the middle of the sketch. It is good to do girlie layouts when scrolls and flowers are on the sketch.
These photos show her playing with shredded paper, and obviously loving it!
This is a wee close up of the journaling down the side. Words which I think summed up her expression well. - Joy - Bliss - The Best of Times
Here is the flower scroll down the middle of the layout. I ripped some tissue paper and attached it to replicate the paper she was playing in.
This is the embellishments at the top of the page. I used this wooden scroll and some of the flowers from Craft Box which is a new monthly subscription club
where you get the most wonderful box full of delicious embellishments straight to your door.
It is such fun opening up the box to see what is inside!! Why don't you have a look at their website, I'm sure you will be tempted!
Materials used
Paper Papers - Bo Bunny, Little Miss
Resin frame, green flowers, lower wooden scroll - Prima
Journal Words - K & Co
Large wooden scroll and peach flower - Craft Box
Ribbon and Title Work - from stash

NicAA: Brooding ruby pour with a full nose of wonderfully balanced clove, cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg, tied with warm brown sugar and whole, juicy pumpkin. 9/10
NicTM: Lightly carbonated, dry in a mulled wine-esque way, with spices just as balanced as the nose suggests. Little orange zest hint in the finish. Opens up as it warms, and warms as it opens up. 9/10
NicP: Whilst this is a big flavored brew, the pumpkin is tasty, provides a little sweetness, and not overwhelmed. 5p
NicO: On those almost wintery, crisp nights, when you grab that favorite blanket and snuggle up with that fluffy cat…pair it with this. Being British, I also want to drink this on the 5th of November whilst setting off fireworks in my back yard next to a big bonfire. Outstanding. 92/100
AlexAA: A dense amber that pours out a thick cinnamon aroma laced with traces of cardamom and pumpkin giving textured layers of scent. 8/10
AlexTM: Really let this complex Imperial warm and you'll release the cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom into the chocolate undertones, and cover up the heaping amount of sweet pumpkin. 9/10
AlexP: The pumpkin is sliced thickly and seasoned VERY well into generous helpings of roasty toasty meat. 5P
AlexO: So savory that I want to pack it into a pipe and smoke it while wearing a jaunty cap and elbow patches. 90/100

How I Successfuly Organized My Very Own Money Loans For Bad Credit
A brilliant enterprise concept can't be executed properly with out sufficient start up financing. Getting free grant cash comes with phrases and circumstances of being utilized for the aim it was awarded.

Debt is one thing owed and credit is something given, normally in the type of money. A better price is a results of low credit score records which will increase the risk of non compensation. The speed and worth of interests range from one loaning firm to a different, although there are native and worldwide legal guidelines which regulate the frequency of these loaning elements. Generally, the lenders related to brokers give value to credit score rating, and it seems logical too. It also focuses on current and future occasions that may affect how money is used.

The charges of curiosity charged are barely larger however can be lowered with the help of on-line research. And when the time involves repay your Online Money Loan they'll debit the money that you borrowed from them – plus fees and interest – from the same bank account.
When consideration is at all times a loan, you've gotten two types of loans to choose from. Payday loans have been one in every of google's more expensive advert-phrase searches," nick bourke, who directs pew's small-dollar loans undertaking, stated. I'm doing it in installments when i can. But i do pay tithes to my church, when i've the cash for it, which is barely a greenback. You can hear the joy in mueller's voice when he talks about elevating chickens, and perhaps some nerves, too, thanks to that large mortgage.

I found myself without Money Loans For Bad Credit whereas touring and ended up in tulieres parc in paris close to the louvre feeding the birds…in winter. Pension advances allow you to borrow money out of your pension without taking a loan. The loan amount could range from lender to lender, relying in your wants and budget. We give out loan ranging from $5, 000.00 to most $5,000, 000.00 to individuals in want of economic help, which have a spotty credit or in need of cash to pay bills, to speculate on enterprise and so on. The sad factor is if they had come to me when the primary loan was due with a real excuse, i might have been more sympathetic and deferred fee or, if at all possible taking into account my own monetary state on the time, waived compensation altogether. Individuals could forbid providing you with any assistance regarding money when you need it badly. This quantity that a borrower might practically anticipate to grasp from the sale of the property in the occasion that the loan defaults and the actual-property must be offered in few months.

At about the halfway point of Silent House (2012, directed by Chris Kentis and Laura Lau), I turned to my companion and said something to the effect of, "What the hell are they going back in there for?" As a general rule of thumb, if I say anything at all while a film is unspooling before me, that's usually a bad sign. I sit through most movies, even bad ones, as silent as the grave. In this case, I wasn't having a bad time at all, so when this happened here, it was kind of a surprise. I mean, they were doing so well up to that point. I was digging it. And then the wheels really flew off. It's hard enough to stay in the moment with a horror movie. Don't give the audience an excuse to check out, guys, because they may not check back in even if, as in Silent House, the movie manages to cover its tracks in the end.
Silent House is kind of a gimmick movie, filmed, as it is, in a single long take. I'm sure there are some subtle pieces of digital editing here and there, along with black screens that give the directors the chance to give themselves some coverage, but the illusion is what counts and this film give a convincing illusion that there are no cuts. Regardless, it unfolds in real time. Theoretically, this should intensify the experience of the movie while subtracting a certain level of artifice. Given that this is an old dark house movie, it's not a bad tactic. Horror movies rise and fall on the willing suspension of disbelief and anything that aids that process is all to the good. For the first forty minutes of the movie, the whole thing works as advertised. Our heroine, Sarah, follows her uncle and her father into their vacation home where all three of them have been rehabbing the property for sale. Sarah begins to hear stirrings elsewhere in the house, stirrings her father and uncle don't hear. Her uncle heads off into town. Sarah begins poking around and her father vanishes. The house doesn't have electricity, so she's on her own in the dark. She eventually finds her father, who has been beaten over the head. He's still alive, but unconscious. Persons unseen torment her, and thwart her attempts to get out of the house. When she finally gets out, she happens across her uncle, and they return to the house. Let me reiterate. They return to the house. It doesn't occur to them to drive down the road to pick up cel phone reception or drive to the police station. They head back into the house, where Sarah knows there are unseen malefactors. Stupid.
But let's back up a bit. There are three items in this part of the movie that hint at something going on under the surface. The first is a visit from their neighbor, Sophia, who claims to have played with Sarah as a child, but who Sarah doesn't remember. The second is the mysterious Polaroids scattered around the house that the menfolk keep trying to keep from Sarah. The third is the mysterious little girl Sarah sees as she's fleeing the house. It's a fleeting vision, but once she sees it, the movie turns into a mindfuck rather than an old dark house movie. Rather than unseen external enemies, the real horror here is a classic case of the "return of the repressed." I've probably given away too much of the movie at this point, but to hell with it.
As a technical exercise, I do kind of admire the film. I'd admire it more if Russian Ark didn't exist or if this had been done on film rather than on the limitless canvas of digital. I think the single-take horror movie has possibilities, given that it's a genre that depends more than most on its point of view for its effects. And, to give it its full due, Elizabeth Olsen is superb in the lead. Martha Marcy May Marlene wasn't a fluke, and as a character study, Silent House acts as a kind of lowbrow companion piece to that film. I have no qualms with the actual filmmaking itself. Directors Chris Kentis and Laura Lau seem to thrive within the limitations they set for themselves (their last film was the equally narrow Open Water).
But, man, I hate the screenplay. I hate the way it cheats to maneuver the audience, because it makes the effort expended on its gimmick completely moot. We see Elizabeth Olsen in almost every foot of film and yet the film constructs situations where she CAN'T be on screen, because she's acting in areas of the house that are very much off screen. This commits the same kind of self-immolation as the end of High Tension, which has a similarly unreliable point of view, and it feels like as much of a sham.
Nota bene: This is a remake of a Uraguayan movie of the same title (the Spanish is "La Casa Muda"). I haven't seen the original.

In light of my comments on the covenanters embarrassing the modern Reformed…
I have no problem with people critically evaluating miracle traditions. But in our fear of Rome and Charismania, we must be careful not to do so in a way that completely surrenders the Faith to David Hume. Hume would have made mincemeat of a recent thread discussing this.
NeoPuritan: God doesn't work extraordinarily like that any more.
David Hume: I agree, but I will raise you one: Do you really believe God doesn't work in such extraordinary manners?
NP: Yes.
Hume: Further, would you not agree also that a miracle is an irregular occurrence (earlier in my career I said "violation," but that was too strong a term) in nature?
NP: Yes.
Hume: What constitutes an "irregular" occurrence?
NP: Something outside of God's normal providence?
Hume: What constitutes "normal?"
NP: Something outside the laws of nature.
Hume: And we shouldn't believe God works that way?
NP: Correct.
Hume: What about Jesus's Resurrection?


text: Cape Finisterre, the westernmost point of land in Galicia, was for centuries thought to be the end of the world, hence its name, which comes from the Latin finis terrae, or end of the earth. (Geographers later discovered that a cape in Portugal is actually the westernmost part of the Iberian peninsula.) Cape Finisterre is also Kilometer 0 of the Camino de Santiago, where pilgrims, after they have visited the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, come to finish the hike and also where some of them burn their clothes or leave their boots behind. The above image was taken on a calm day, but this remote, unforgiving coast can kick up some fearsome weather. Many ships have come to grief here, which is why the route around the cape is known as the Costa da Morte in Gallego, or the Coastline of Death. Photo ©Mike Randolph

That is fantastic news! My birthday is July 8th and I've always been partial to it. What an honor it would be to share it with your daughter!
What wonderful news girl!! I will be earnestly praying for you and Colson, and that his lungs are developed so you can meet your sweet baby boy.
I love the Reese gallery (#20! that is just great)and all of her pictures - they are such a tribute to her and I know she is just thrilled to be looking out for her baby brother that will be in your arms soon!
Love you girl - always praying!!
My birthday is also July 8th - that would be awesome. I would love to share it with Colson. God's Blessings to you and yours. You are in my daily prayers.
Oh wow... three weeks will fly by! So happy for you. Reese's name gallery is so sweet, as it always is! :)
My birthday is also July 8th and a great time of the year for a child's birthday 'cause you can have cake, homemade ice cream and watermelon!!! ( or at least that's what I always had as a little kid) !!
Praying for you and Colson....safe delivery and healthy baby!
Three weeks?!?!?!? That is so hard to believe! I still remember reading your post saying you were pregnant with Colson!!! Praying blessings for you, Katie-girl!
Love all the pictures!
Wow - three weeks. It will be here so fast. I am so happy for you and your family. I will be praying for good results on your test so you can meet Colson sooner.
That's great news! What an amazing and understanding doctor you have!!! I would want to do the EXACT same thing!! Can't wait to see pictures of the new sweetie...hope it's on 7/8/10!!!!
So exciting!! I totally understand the need for peace of mind...at some point that outweighs the cost of taking them a little early! We did the same thing with callyn- we lost tatum at 36...my doctor and i decided early on that we wouldn't go a day past 37. We opted not to do the amnio- we knew regardless of the results we just wanted her here (on the outside) and safe. Wouldn't change a thing...the countdown is on! Still praying!
That is such exciting news. I can't wait to hear how the amnio goes? I will be very interested in the details. Oh, Katie... Three weeks and it's time! Whoa, I just still can't believe the wonderful news. That's so great. Colson already has such a bundle of people praying for him. That has to be so comforting. Xoxo.
She is beautiful. I love all the name pictures you post up, you must have the most incredible collection of them!
I'm thinking about your amnio, fingers crossed for matured lungs.
Beautiful!!! And what great news! Wow, how did it happen so quickly? Oh, I can't wait to see his sweet face!! And I also can't wait...just a few more weeks and I can FINALLY make Reese's name for her gallery! Don't you know I have been waiting for this summer to come so I could complete it!! :) Have a happy weekend dear!!
Man proposes, God disposes................................................................
What a blessing to know you will be holding Colson sooner than later!
The light painting of Reece's name is gorgeous. Her name is gorgeous. SHE is gorgeous!
I read your blog my daily and I am truly inspired by your strength. I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child but you handle everything with such grace, heart and truly give glory to God. You are amazing inspiration as a mother!!!!
Love and prayers,
I am so excited for you. Have you had an amnio before? I sure hope his lungs are mature. When I had the amnio done at 34.5 weeks Avins lungs where mature and we where able to start the induction that night. We where all surprised that they where mature but so thankful!
Your family is for sure in our thoughts . . PS . . if I ever have a boy . . can I name him Colson . . I am loving loving loving the name!
Thanks for the comment and to answer your question, he knows me well and I do get chocolate for many occasions!
Three weeks! How exciting! =)
A week or so ago while at Michael's I was drawn to a paper pack called "Reese". If I would have had a camera I would have taken a picture to share. I almost bought the paper pack to send to you.
Hello, I found your blog via Bless Our Nest. You have a beautiful family! I am happy for you and I will continue to pray God's blessings and peace over your delivery in the next couple of weeks.
How exciting that you will be meeting Colson so soon!!! I can hardly believe we will be meeting our little guy on Monday if not sooner!!! This pregnancy has seemed like such a journey it's hard to imagine it is finally going to come to completion!! I'm sure you are feeling similarly.
Love the pictures for Reese's gallery!
So excited for you, Katie! I will definitely keep you in my prayers in the coming days. I can't wait to see that cute baby of yours. :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'm glad that it reminded you of Reese's garden. God Bless you, sweet lady!
Never get tired of seeing that sweet girls name!! :) and can't wait to see that sweet boy of yours soon!!! :)
These are beautiful! I love the ones next to the lake. Reese was a beautiful little girl and she has a beautiful mommy. Your strength inspires me Katie, praying for you upon the arrival of sweet Colson!! our neighbors back in TN, their little boy's name is Colson and he is pretty darn cute!! Such a beautiful tribute to Reese!
Gosh, I bet you are excited!! I had my son by c-section at 37 weeks, and didn't even have an amnio! Colson will be fine. Be ready on July 8th, I bet that will be the day!
Oh, and I had a boy at 35 weeks, no amnio either, and he was fine.
I'll be praying for you either way-that he be healthy and make it safely into your arms. Hugs, Holly
I'm always praying for you as well....
Reese, and Colson, And Z too, are all so blessed to have you for a Mama.
I'll be praying for Colson and you.
Be blessed. Be at peace. Amen.
So close! It'll be such a blessing for you to meet him on the outside.
Z and his Hog ... that is something else!
And Reese ... what a beautiful baby. Her little lips and nose and soft little self ... you want to scoop her up and hold her.

|Me at retreat!
Our yearly retreat is quickly approaching, and, as usual, I'm eagerly anticipating the reveal of another new mystery that weekend. I've lost track of the number of mystery quilts I've designed for our annual retreat in Tomball, Tx, but one of the first was Friends and Fellows. I love that name – it just has a lovely cadence and the alliteration makes it roll off the tongue well. Friends and Fellows. It's a name that originates in a partial block within the quilt and that embodies the camaraderie we find at a quilt retreat.
|Jami C. at retreat.
|Milica N. at retreat.
|Nancy Feve
|Lynn Makrin
|Jami C.
I've sometimes resorted to having my quilty friends and forum members help me name a pattern. My good friend Ms. Pat (Life in the Scrapatch) thought up the name for Windsong. I immediately knew the name was right. In this case, the name actually adds to the romance and fluidity of this design.
Tonight I'm challenged with naming my new mystery design. For now I'm calling it "Frolic," because I like what that says about my design intentions, and because a good "Frolicking" friend of mine is on my mind tonight. I realize that I really must settle on a name before dawn tomorrow. So, for now, for the next few hours anyway, this one shall be "Frolic." What does that say to you about the pattern?

I am so happy to see that the Republicans were not rewarded for their bad behavior and blatant lies. The election results are a repudiation of their obstructionist actions of the past two years.
Now it�s time for them to roll up their sleeves, be willing to compromise, and get back to their job of legislating according to the will of the people and for the good of the country.

Here is a charming short documentary film about one of the best-known artists from the Inland Northwest, and how his relationship with native peoples shaped his work.
Clyfford Still is usually remembered as a pioneer in the abstract expressionist movement in painting. Today there is an entire museum in Denver dedicated to displaying his work. However, before he was a nationally famous painter, he was a local figure. Still graduated from Spokane University in 1933, and eventually became an art professor at Washington State University. Still participated in the Nespelum Art Colony (documented in this fine book), which brought painters from around the region to Nespelum, Washington on the Colville Reservation. This film shows how Still's early experiences on the reservation influenced his later work.

Devin Anderson
Emergency Vehicle Operator
EMSStat / NRHS
Norman, Oklahoma
EMSStat's Crimestopper EVO of the Year
Devin joined EMSStat in August of 2015 in the role of EVO as part of the Moore expansion. He is currently in Paramedic school and will graduate this spring.
Devin personifies hard work and dedication. Devin was hired as EMSSTAT expanded into Moore and in that push to hire high quality EMT's/Paramedics, we definitely found what the department was looking for.
Devin will frequently accept last minute requests to fill open shifts and he will do so without hesitation or complaint. Devin frequently cancels personal plans and rearranges his schedule to meet the department's staffing needs. He does so out of a deep sense of duty and responsibility.
In his short time at EMSSTAT, Devin has garnered the respect of his peers and has even earned a spot on the EMSSTAT Disaster Medical Response Team (DMRT). EMSSTAT's DMRT is one of only two such teams in the state. This is an all-hazards team tasked with responding to disaster and mass casualty events anywhere in the state of Oklahoma for up to two week deployments. Devin has quickly become a dedicated and important member of the team. Devin strives, always, to provide support and solidarity to his crew mates.
Devin makes extremely valuable contributions to NRHS/EMSStat each day and demonstrate the ICARE behaviors very well.

comfortable–adjective: 1. providing physical ease and relaxation 2. affording or enjoying contentment and security
A few weeks ago, Elijah's cross country coach approached us as we were waiting for practice to be over. I assumed he was going to tell us something about the upcoming meet, but the words that came out his his mouth were, "How has Elijah been these last few weeks?" My mind scrambled to find an answer because I was honesty getting a little nervous about how this conversation was going to go, so my response was simple…he had been sick. His coach knew that, but it was more than just Elijah being sick. He shared that Elijah was doing well this season, but not as well as he had hoped. He had expected to see some growth since is his second season of cross country, and it just wasn't there.
Ouch. His words stung a little. But yet, isn't that what the truth does?
As the conversation continued, Ray worded it perfectly. It's not that Elijah isn't enjoying cross country because he loves it (seriously, he didn't get the running genes from me)… he is just comfortable. You see, Elijah has been running long enough to know when it hurts and gets uncomfortable. So, he knows how hard to push himself before his body crosses the line from comfortable to uncomfortable.
The following week, we spoke with Elijah about what his coach said. Honestly, I was unsure if it was a good idea because there were tears…but again, sometimes the truth stings a little doesn't it? We just asked him if he thought he was running his best race. Could he honestly say he was doing his best? The answer was no. It wasn't an easy conversation to have because we don't ever want any of our kids to think that we aren't proud of them. Elijah could run a 50 minute mile, and we would still be proud of him…but, we know that he is capable of doing better. And, his coach knows Elijah well enough to know he is capable of so much more too. I don't think I have ever seen a coach so passionate about the sport and genuinely wanting each child to succeed and run their best race.
Well, that next week, he ran his best race of the season. Actually, it was his best race ever. He pushed himself harder and realized it really was possible; that he was capable of feeling uncomfortable for a bit.
That night I went back into Elijah's room to put him to bed, and as I was going to turn the light switch off, I noticed he had decorated his wall. He put up all of the race bibs that he has saved, one of his favorite quotes, and the last meets time with his name circled with "BEAT IT!!" written next to it. He made a little inspiration wall so every time he turned on and off his lights he would see things that mattered to him…a goal that was on the other side of his comfort zone.
The following week, he actually didn't get to run in the meet because his knees had been bothering him during the warm up. After so much anticipation and excitement, he just had to watch. Again, there were tears because he not only wanted to run, but he felt like he was letting his team down.
Fast forward to this past Thursday. The cross country team had their League Championship meet…2.5 miles. I get tired just thinking of running that long. Anyway, after two weeks of seeing the inspiration on his wall it was time to run again. I was wrong, the previous race was not his best race–this one was. Elijah came in at 18:43 which was 25 seconds faster than his coach had predicted.
But wait, there's more. (Sounds a little like an informercial right?) On the same card that the coach writes his predictions for the kids, he writes their times from the previous year. Last year, Elijah ran the same race in 21:03…if you struggle in math like I do, that means that he beat his time by 2 minutes and 20 seconds!! He felt SO stinking good at the end and seeing the smile on his face was amazing. If it felt good for us, I can only imagine what it felt like for him…
Sometimes, we are so comfortable in our life, that we don't allow ourselves to ever go beyond it…Can I encourage you (with the help of my sweet son) to push yourself a little harder this week. No one likes to feel uncomfortable. But, it is in those times where we feel the most uncomfortable that we tend to experience the most growth! So, step outside of your comfort zone because you might surprise yourself!

PHILADELPHIA - Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on the final night of the Democrat National Convention:
"Time and again, Hillary Clinton's dishonesty and cronyism have proved she is the wrong person to lead our country as president. The American people have had enough of the corruption, the deceit, and the stonewalling which have been the hallmarks of her entire career. After decades of lying to the public, politically-motivated flip flops, a family foundation that took millions from foreign governments while she was Secretary of State, and repeated and blatant lies over her reckless mishandling of classified information, the only sure thing about Hillary Clinton is that she puts her own political interests above the rest of us. Tonight's speech was merely a litany of platitudes which dodged a serious discussion of our slumping economy and our diminished standing in the world under President Obama, topics which should be well-known to her after spending years in his cabinet. Hillary Clinton is the ultimate Washington insider at a time when Americans are eager to break with eight years of a Democrat status quo, and there's no doubt her longtime pattern of shady conduct and double standards will continue if she is elected president.
"Americans can no longer afford a system which takes care of the well-connected at the expense of everyone else, and a Clinton presidency only means a third term of President Obama's failed policies, just with more corruption and secrecy. Now is the time to break from a left-wing agenda which has shrank paychecks, left America more ripe for terrorist attacks, and reduced our freedoms. With Donald Trump and Mike Pence, Americans can look forward to being prosperous at home, respected abroad, and having their voices heard once again."

Ever since the election of Pope Francis, I've been eagerly waiting to hear who would be named as the Vatican Secretary of State, a position in the church that manages the internal workings of the Vatican, the appointment of new bishops, and the church's diplomatic relations. In my previous post as president of the International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS-Pax Romana), I had the chance to meet and work with many of the rumored candidates.
Today, I am overjoyed to hear the strong rumors that Pope Francis will name Pietro Parolin, someone who I consider to be one of the best men to work in the Vatican as the Secretary of State. I had the chance to work with the Italian Archbishop Pietro Parolin for several years on the coordination committee to plan the Forum of Catholic Inspired NGOs and was honored to be invited to attend his episcopal ordination by Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter's before he was sent to serve as the Vatican Ambassador (nuncio) to Venezuela, an important and very difficult post....

The Washoe County Social Services Department, Nevada, wants to (a) murder a baby, (b) impose additional psychological distress on a mentally challenged woman, (c) interfere with a court-approved adult guardianship, and (d) defy the American right to the pursuit of happiness by obstructing all opportunity for providing a child to an adoptive couple. They want a judge to force a 32-year-old woman to have an abortion against her wishes.
What would you call someone who claims that woman ought to have the right to decide about her own body parts without the government telling her what to do, and then turns around and tries to get a judge to order an abortion? I would call her a REPROBATE!
Prenatal protocol for high-risk pregnancies is being followed, and there is a waiting list of couples who want to adopt. Social Services has its panties in a wad because the baby was exposed to anti-epileptic medication. They have absolutely no proof that the baby has been harmed—only suspicions. They are wasting resources and causing problems where no problem that they are qualified to solve even existed.
Whoever the person was that decided to stick her nose into this family's private business ought to have her nose cut off. That appendage is only a tiny fraction of the body parts she wants to remove from the baby.

Aiden Announces Final Album Release
William from Aiden has announced the release of the band's new and final album in 2014, via a long Facebook post directly addressing the band's fans.
As Aiden will be releasing the album on their own, they are funding the project by selling some of the band's memorabilia.
"Would you, the fans, help fund an Aiden record?" William asks. "Would you be interested in different packages of limited and one of a kind items from the bands career? Magazine? Guitars? Handwritten lyrics? Old microphones? Just a thought."
Check out the entire post after the jump.
How are you all? I must apologize here on the outset, it's been a long time since I've addressed you directly. Sometimes we lose ourselves in the hazy fog covered forest, whilet speeding on the train of life. I have been reading your messages and compliments and pleas for new music and tour dates, it feels incredible that you are still out there, still listening, still believing in our little band from Seattle. What a journey it's been. Ten years have passed since we first rocked that little pizza joint in downtown Seattle, and from the mole hill up the mountain we went. I know Aiden hasn't been very active in the last year and a half or so, we have been taking a much needed break after a whirlwind career of travel, art and deconstruction. Although, when I say "Break", I really mean, we just haven't written any Aiden material. In fact, I have been thinking about how we are going to move forward towards a new path, the end path, the road to closure for a band I have cherished and loved and adored for a third of my life.
I have been keeping myself quite busy in the absence of Aiden recently. I started releasing William Control records on my own and have spent a better portion of the last year out on the road in support of them. Every City I travel to, every night I sit and speak to some of you, I get asked, when is Aiden going to return? The answer is: Next year. I have been writing a little here and there for the new album and I am quite certain we are going to release it ourselves. I have been collecting memorabilia from our career to sell to help fund the album. Would you, the fans, help fund an Aiden record? Would you be interested in different packages of limited and one of a kind items from the bands career? Magazines? guitars? handwritten lyrics? old microphones? Just a thought. Think about it.
Let me keep this short and sweet, I am usually at risk of a discourse that runs away from me like gazelles being chased by cheetahs. I merely wanted to say hello and tell you that I have not forgotten about you. Nor do I wish for the time we spend apart to be so vast. It wont be long now until we are all stepping on each others faces and singing every word to the Last Sunrise.
One last thing… I know that some of you haven't received T shirts that Nick was sending out, if you've had an issue, email him directly…. firstname.lastname@example.com and he will sort you out. We also have a new merch distribution system for the merch so these issues shouldn't happen going forward.
There is a new limited edition shirt up for sale and only 50 will be made. Go get one before they are gone!!http://aiden.bigcartel.com/.
All my love

The human voice… even in today's world of E-Mail, text messaging, and other electronic means of contact, it's still the primary means of communications.
Many of your customers' first exposure to your business will be an initial phone call. Thus, it is important you make a good impression by having a professional, well-delivered voice at the other end of the line. This first impression could make or break your sale.
Don't leave your voice production needs up to your secretary or receptionist who is recording using a speakerphone with lots of background noise! Instead, choose a highly-trained, professional voice to greet your callers.
I can create professional voice recordings for your business (or home), and at affordable rates. Unlike many companies who compromise the audio quality of your recorded product by compressing it before sending it to you, I will deliver your final product in 44.1kHz WAV format. You can then convert it to any format of your choosing. This is suitable for loading into newer, HD-Voice enabled telephone systems and achieving the full possible quality.

Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is an intriguing guy...[he] asks great questions and answers others with style, flair, reason and wit. On the blogroll he goes. Make him a part of your regular blogospheric reading. I certainly will.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Common Sense Junction: Misha @ Anti-Idiotarian never ceases to amaze me. He keeps finding other good blogs. I went over to A.I. this morning for my daily Misha fix and he had found this guy named Morgan Freeberg in Fair Oaks, California, that has a blog, House of Eratosthenes. Freeberg says its "The Blog That Nobody Reads" but it may now become the blog that everybody reads.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
The Heat Is On: From House of Eratosthenes comes yet another enlightening piece on liberals. All I can say is "Dayum, does this guy have libs pegged or what?" Excellent work, Morgan. Here's to ya!
Jaded Haven: Good God, Morgan, you cover a topic from front to back with a screwy thoroughness I find mind boggling. I'm in awe of your thought proccesses, my friend, you're an exceptional talent. You start by throwing in the kitchen sink, tie in someone's syphilitic uncle, bend around a rip tide of brilliance and bring it all home in a neat, diamond dripping package of an exceptionally readable moment of damn fine wordsmithing. I love reading you.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
Pajamas Media: Over at The House of Eratosthenes ("The blog nobody reads"), Morgan Freeberg is taking a candid look at one of America's most indulgent habits.
Philmon: When Morgan meanders, stick with him - he's got a point and it'll be worth it in the end. He's not a hit-and-run snarky quip kind of guy. The pieces all fall into place like tumblers in a lock and bang! He's opened a cognative door for you.
Rightlinx: Morgan at House of Eratosthenes is one of the best writers out there. I read him nearly every day because he manages to provide an interesting perspective, even though I don't always agree.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
The one True Believer with decent beliefs, who had a shot, dropped out…I got the news as I was affixing postage stamps to my voter registration form.
WONDERFUL system we have. Makes me feel so…well…enfranchised.
All my life, I have always selected from out of the available candidates, and chosen the one, from among them, that best reflected my beliefs and whose slate of pledged actions upon inauguration most closely matched what I wanted to see done.
Now, here, we have a situation where none of the listed candidates have much of an idea about what they would do. I'm tellin' ya, something is going on here. I'm not that old. I remember when that was what it was all about. But we've become so obsessed with full heads o'hair, sparkly smiles, twinkling eyes, charisma-charisma-charisma, the gift of jibber-jabber and making people feel good…what the hell do I know about any of these people? I mean, really?
Well, here's an interesting idea that I'm pondering for February 5th…pondering seriously…
That's the sum of it. If you can't bring yourself to vote for the offerings in your primary, or if the eventual nominee is somebody you can't stomach, don't sit out, and don't vote for the Democrat. Write in Fred Thompson's name.
By doing so, you send a message that can't be mistaken or spun. It is a message that says:
"I am a Republican who wanted to vote for a conservative GOP candidate, but wasn't able to do so. I can't vote for a Democrat, but I can't vote for any of the Republicans, either. So I'm writing in the name of the candidate I wish I could have voted for, because he is the kind of candidate I could support."
They have to learn that if they want conservative votes, they have to nominate candidates conservatives would want to vote for.
Now, a preposition is something you shouldn't ever end a sentence with. But aside from that, the idea makes good sense.
I was very excited about Fred because I was supportive of his ideas. His ideas…and I fully believe, my candidate was pitched out of this perverted fustercluck of a process not because the country is hostile to his ideas, but because the country has become hostile to the idea of choosing a candidate on the basis of ideas. Hair. Smiles. Magic lilt in the voice. Race. Gender. He Lights Up The Room When He Walks Into It. Oooh, look at that tie!
And once a President is sworn in, what inspires a nationwide panic that "we've got to get rid of this administration?" Uh…pretty much the same sort of crap we demand from candidates who want that job in the first place, right? Emotional instability. "Fire in the belly." Hostility directed at exactly the right undesirable people. Whooping. Hollering. YEEEEAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!! And the lying…don't forget the lying.
The guy who actually got the job says Saddam Hussein poses an eminent threat…it gets re-worded as an "imminent threat" so people can call him a liar…and on the basis of that threadbare definition of lying, why, we just won't tolerate that. But any one of the candidates seeking to succeed him, from either party, can tell big fat whoppers all day long and we just eat it up.
I guess I should add that to me, McCain is near or at the bottom of the rung as far as I'm concerned in the Republican Field. This is mostly because of his buying in to the AGW fraud and his support of
amnesty, no, really, amnesty for illegal aliens. And of course to a lesser degree, McCain-Feingold anti-free speech. At least he likes Justice Roberts and is a proponent of fighting Islamism. And I think he supports the second amendment with no "but"'s.
He has criticized Bush's Iraq strategy without getting ugly about it and he supports the general mission.
That all being said a vote for Thompson isn't excactly going to take my vote away from someone else that I have strong feelings one way or another about. It'll either take one away from … let's face it, McCain or Romney — that's who I'm left with after Rudy pulls out … and I really don't care that much.
In the end, Thompson will release his delegates to whomever he thinks can win the general election. I suspect that will be McCain as they are reportedly friends.
So you're right, a vote for Thompson in the primaries is not a bad idea. I suspect, though, that there aren't enough of us who would do it to even show up as a blip on the radar. Not saying don't do it. Just saying don't get your hopes up too much.
On the other hand, a McCain/Thompson ticket might not be TOO bad, considering the choices.- philmon | 01/30/2008 @ 10:59
[…] House of Eratosthenes I was very excited about Fred because I was supportive of his ideas. His ideas…and I fully believe, my candidate was pitched out of this perverted fustercluck of a process not because the country is hostile to his ideas, but because the country has become hostile to the idea of choosing a candidate on the basis of ideas.

[…]- Daily Pundit » On Getting What We Deserve - Good and Hard | 01/30/2008 @ 17:07
If there is a just and loving God, He will make Thompson VP for whomever gets the GOP nod. Especially McCain who's in his late hundreds and may not make it to a second term. That would make Thompson a shoe in for the Big Chair. My state is solidly blue from end to end, top to bottom. If everyone I know in the state wrote in Thompson's name he'd still be %0.000000000043 of the total.- Duffy | 01/31/2008 @ 12:00

Mastered from the original master tapes with Mobile Fidelity's one-step UltraDisc process
Deluxe audiophile pressing on SuperVinyl compound at RTI!
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble's Texas Flood announces the arrival of a truly special talent — namely, the last major blues guitarist to emerge with a voice all his own, an immediately distinctive style, and a soulfulness you feel inside the depths of your existence.
The album was a phenomenal success, climbing into the Top 40 and spending more than a half-a-year on the charts, which was practically unheard of for a blues recording. The record plays like a dynamite club show, filled with crowd-pleasing originals and covers, all performed with unbridled enthusiasm. Texas Flood was certified gold on August 13, 1990, and certified platinum on January 22, 1992.
Not for nothing is Vaughan frequently mentioned in the same breath as his closest musical cousin, Jimi Hendrix, and ranked the 12th Greatest Guitarist in history by Rolling Stone. And not for nothing is this UltraDisc Edition from Mobile Fidelity the closest you will ever come to hearing Vaughan perform in Antone's, circa 1982. The lavish packaging and beautiful presentation of Mobile Fidelity's Texas Flood UD1S pressing befit its extremely select status. Housed in a deluxe box, this UD1S version contains special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendor of the recording. No expense has been spared. Aurally and visually, this reissue exists a curatorial artifact meant to be preserved, poured over, touched, and examined. It is made for discerning listeners that prize sound quality and creativity, and who desire to fully immerse themselves in the art — and everything involved with the album, from the images to the textures.
Born of hot, sweaty bars and years of woodshedding in front of demanding crowds, Texas Flood is rooted in Austin's rich musical heritage — as well as Vaughan's tenure in Paul Ray & the Cobras, recipient of the "Best Band" award in the city's first-ever music poll. After getting his feet underneath him, Vaughan formed Triple Threat, the ensemble that morphed into Double Trouble, with which he'd perform with for the remainder of his career. Having evolved from a quintet to a trio, extra demands were placed on Vaughan's role and playing — requirements he was more than comfortable to accommodate.
The evidence is scattered throughout Texas Flood, which single-handedly resuscitated a long-dormant genre. The record pays homage to influences (Hendrix, Albert King, Larry Davis) and ripples with a freshness that joins contemporary Texas blues and muscular rock at the hip. Vaughan's playing prizes emotion and pace, whether he's lighting it up on the jumpy "Love Struck Baby" or bursting with enthusiasm on the sparks-shooting "Pride and Joy."
The trio proves equally mesmerizing on slow numbers, with covers of Howlin' Wolf's "Tell Me" and Davis' " Texas Flood" weeping with longing. And as if to insure his name is etched in history, Vaughan takes a jazzy stroll with the instrumental tribute "Lenny," covering all the bases in less than 40 minutes. On par with anything recorded by Eric Clapton, Paul Butterfield, John Mayall, Johnny Winter, and the like, Texas Flood remains legion.

This rebuke should be a clear reminder to PM Modi that his questionable conduct as Chief Minister Gujarat when over 1000 Muslims were killed in religious riots and human rights violations in Indian-occupied Kashmir are well known to the world. Not only that Sri Lanka had blamed India for providing support to Tamil separatist during a long and bloody civil war that ended with support from Pakistan.
The first para of the BRICS official communique says the countries will strive for among many other things to be inclusive. How can India take the position of isolation of a neighbor and at the same time agree to a policy of inclusiveness? The communique also states adherence to UN principles and respect for the international law. How can India claim to be an adherent to UN charter when it publicly announces support for separatists in violation of the sovereignty of a neighboring country as well as ignore UN resolutions on Kashmir? How can India claim to be an adherent of International Law when it tries to unilaterally violate Indus Water Treaty brokered by World Bank? In the same para, it promises that peaceful resolution of disputes should be sought. That in a way is reprimand of unprovoked surgical strike claimed by India in a neighboring country.
The reference to terrorism outline that many countries have experienced it including India. This recognizes that all countries of the region are affected by it because of ongoing war on terror and is not a particular concern of any one country. India, China, Pakistan and Russia all have dealt with terrorist attacks that aim to destabilize these countries and undermine their progress.
The communique recognizes the importance of regional integration. Pakistan has been the key partner of China and Russia to achieve this objective by implementing the CPEC, joining SCO and CASA 1000. Pakistan's invitation to Iran, Afghanistan, and CIS countries to join CPEC initiative is an indication of our desire to connect rather than pursue Indian objective of isolating neighbors.
The communique addresses the Syrian and Palestinian crisis and seeks to resolve it through UN resolution. This in a way is an indirect acceptance of Kashmir conflict which has been on the UN agenda for over 70 years.
To fight poverty, ignorance, illiteracy and unemployment a better approach would be to create regional platforms for cooperation. India should strengthen SAARC rather than try to experiment with new formulations, motivated by hate, in order to seek isolation of one country.
The BRICS communique is a gift to Pakistan. Our diplomats should print the communique and take it to our partner countries to highlight the work done by Pakistan that conforms with the communique to ensure regional, peace, security and balance of power.

A Berry Berry Pineapple ShakeBerries, Cold Drink, Drink, Snack
Hi Matirulis,
Shakes are something spectacular. I mean just think about it for a moment, what can be better than mixing all your favorite fruits together with some yogurt and ice and drink it on a hot sunny day? Well, I can think of a few things that are better than that. But, it is amazing the creations you can come up with and how things taste when you combine such different and similar flavors. A few weeks ago I had bought some frozen strawberries, blueberries, and coconut. The coconut I tried to use in a very failed attempt to make coconut brownies that I spared you from hearing about, but I still had the berries and some fresh pineapple.
You do not need to follow any specific recipe for a fresh fruit shake. All you need is a blender, some yogurt or water (if you want it 'healthier'), and ice. You might or might not want to add any sugar. "A" says that fruits already have so much natural sugar that there is no need to add any more. I like to add a pinch to bring out the flavors even more.
So what did we do?
We added a little yogurt that we had, it was about 1 tbsp. We would have added more but we just did not have so instead we added the leftover pineapple juice. We added about 8 strawberries, a handful of blueberries, and the pineapple. The you blend it and drink!
It is a healthy snack that can be put together in no time.
Even better, you can make your own 'healthy' mixed drinks if you want to have this at night by adding some rum or vodka to the mixture if you are in a party mood.
Hope you are having as beautiful and sunny days as we are!
Domestic Goddesses make PavlovasBerries, Dessert, Gluten-free
Hi Franneroo!
First of all I have to tell you that I love "Just beet it", it made me laugh really hard when I read it!! hahahaha I love beets! Actually up until REALLY recently, I used to hate them, something about them was off for me. But, is it just me, or do beet kind of taste like corn? At any rate, they are yummy and I cannot wait to try them out.
So this week, a lot of things happened in terms of cooking. First of all, we had a potluck to go to, for which I had promised to bring a dessert, preferably a pie… Of course, the best pies are always the ones that come straight out of the oven. But, no luck for this Tuesday night, for a 6:30pm potluck dinner. So I had 2 choices:
- Buy a ready-made pie (… there goes the credibility of my cooking abilities… since last potluck, I brought one of my EPIC fails to the table)
- Whip up something quickly that would delight…(seems like the only choice)
I mean seriously, who has time to make an intricate dessert, right after work, in the middle of the week? No one. Thus was born… Berry Pavlova
- 30cm (12 in) Meringue disk (enough smaller meringues to fill the space of the disc)
- 300ml (1 cup) whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups blue berries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/3 cup white chocolate curls (medium piece of white chocolate)
- Set meringue in the middle of a nice serving dish. { If it is for a buffet situation, I prefer to break up the meringues to make serving easier. }
- In a large bowl, whip the cream, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and 7 crushed raspberries, until it has turned into the light fluffy, cloudy whipped cream we all know and love. (The reason for the raspberries, is that they lend the cream a subtle pink color that is irresistible.)
- Spread the cream over the meringue. { The beauty of the pavlova is that you can make it as dainty or rustic as you like. It always looks delicious. }
- Sprinkle the berries all over the whipped cream. { In reality they are piled on, but doesn't sound as appetizing. }
- Grate (on widest grating side) the white chocolate directly on to the berries. { You will damage the delicate, beautiful curls if you do it in another dish first and then transfer them onto the cake. }
DONE! Domestic Goddess status achieved! You have created an irresistible dessert, it took you 10 minutes to put together, and you had extra time to powder your nose!
(Note: You could substitute the whipped cream for Coolwhip, and have a heavenly guilt-free dessert. Unfortunately, we do not have such things in the UK.)
This recipe can be altered a million and one ways, please share your thoughts if you have a favorite!

As I continue to listen to new music on a regular basis, I continue to be impressed that more established artists are still able to come up with good music. I wonder how & what inspires an artist to keep pushing themselves to come up with new & different ideas. But I guess when music is your life, it is that life itself that continues to motivate and inspire. With that said, the three artists that appear in this playlist have all been around for a minute. I'm very vocal about the fact that I'm not a huge country music fan, but there are some artists, like Miranda Lambert, that impress me with their candor and down to earth lyrics. She's a real girl who expresses herself in a very unique and off the cuff manner. I appreciate that about her. And that's why I continue to support her and her music. I felt like Platinum was a little heavy on songs, but there were some good ones on there and these four selections are my faves.
Oh Interpol, you bring me such fond memories of my time in NYC. This is a NYC band through & through. The swagger, the attitude, and the edgy bounce of their music is ALL New York. And I absolutely love it! I don't know what it is about this band, but ever since I first discovered them while I was living in NYC, they've held a special place in my heart. I'm so happy that they're still making music together. As long as they do, I'll keep listening! This band continues to be 'all the rage' in my home. Here are my favorites from El Pintor.
And speaking of attitude, Lenny Kravitz's new album, Strut, is just smothered in it. Yeah!! That's why I like it, I guess. The first song on this playlist "I'm a Believer" was the theme song to NBA on TNT. Not a stretch to figure out why I dig this song!! 😉 The other three songs encapsulate the grit & rawness that I've come to known & appreciate about Lenny's music. Keep it up, sir. I like it!

Demystifying Ladakh's Magnetic Hill–Illusion or Reality?
Situated at a distance of 30 km from Leh city on the famous Leh-Kargil Highway is a small expanse of road that breaks the phenomenon of gravity. The reason is due to the magnetic hill that draws stationary vehicles upwards. Well-known as the "Magnetic Hill", today it has turned into a major tourist attraction for all those who plan a Leh Ladakh road trip and is an ideal pit-stop for exhausted riders moving on the highway.
How To Reach Magnetic Hill?
By Air:
If you are planning a Leh Ladakh Trip, the closest airbase is Leh International Airport and is well connected with major airports in India. The distance from the airport to the Magnetic Hill is about 32 km. From the airport you can easily hire a taxi to reach the Ladakh Magnetic Hill positioned on the Leh-Kargil-Baltic National Highway.
By Train:
The nearest railhead is Jammu Tawi Railway Station at a distance of about 700 km from Leh Ladakh province. Jammu Tawi is well-connected with Delhi and other major cities in India through railways. You can hire a taxi or car to cover the remaining distance by road.
By Road:
If you are making a Leh Ladakh Tour from Delhi, Manali-Leh Highway is one of the easiest and the most convenient route to reach Leh. There are quite a number of state transport buses and private buses regularly plying from Himachal Pradesh to Leh Ladakh. A majority of the travelers also prefer to travel Manali to Leh Ladakh Bike Trip.
Note: As the hill is located in the barren region which is 30 km far from Leh, don't think of finding food stalls & hotels in the region. If at all you are that fortunate, you may come across some homestays. Hence, store enough snacks in your vehicle before you proceed towards the Magnetic Hill in Ladakh.
The best time to book Leh Ladakh Bike Tour Packages and visit the Magnetic Hill is from the months of July to September. During these months, the roads are clear as well as the time and weather is just perfect to discover Ladakh and its innate beauty.
Location of Magnetic Hill in Ladakh
Nestled at an altitude of 14,000 feet above sea level, Magnetic Hill is situated on the Leh-Kargil-Baltic National Highway in the Trans-Himalayan province. Fascinatingly, the Indus River flows to the east of Magnetic Hill and makes the environment a picturesque frame.
Sanctified with incredible natural beauty and enigmatic magnetic feature, the Magnetic Hill in Ladakh is where travelers halt by to experience the eccentric, gravity-defying occurrence. A yellow box noticeable on the magnetic road, few meters away from the Magnetic Hill specifies that the vehicle must be parked in neutral gear. It is from this point that the vehicle begins to move at a speed on the brink of 20 kmph.
Well, the question arises. Is the magnetism indeed this intense at Magnetic Hill in Ladakh? Or it is just a astounding illusion? Let's check at both the possibilities!
The Mystery of the Magnetic Hill & Road in Ladakh
We live in a strange world, so thus there are number of theories backing this extraordinary wonder of nature. All of them put forward a different logic and are supported by good reasoning, excluding superstitions like 'the magnetic road is a straightaway to heaven'. Let's understand what each of these beliefs and theories have to highlight.
The Superstition –
According to local superstitions amongst the Ladakhi villagers, there is a belief that there once was a road that led people to heaven. Those who truly deserved were drawn to the path straightaway while those who were not worthy of could never make it there.
The Magnetic Force Theory –
This is known as a sensible theory, which is also the most prevalent worldwide. It states that there is a strong magnetic force originating from the hill that attracts (pull) vehicles that are in its range.
The eccentric occurrence on the Leh-Kargil highway has been time and again experienced and affirmed by travelers globally. In point of fact, the infamous hill has instigated aircrafts of Indian Air Force to change their route in the past to evade magnetic intervention on them.
The Optical Illusion Theory–
Another extensively accepted theory suggest that the hill is no cradle of magnetic force, rather it's merely an optical illusion that forms the downslope of the road leading to the Magnetic Hill look like an upslope. Thus, when you perceive the vehicle going uphill, it is in reality going downhill.
Among the two main suggestive theories – one of magnetic force in the hill and the optical illusion theory – there is no definite theory till date. But, there is surely something mysterious regarding the magnetic hill in Ladakh! So reason no further; book best Leh Ladakh Tour Packages and find it for yourself.

lol…the U.S.A's Specialty is fast food…I just read that in my geography book lol weird…Hmm But WHat I like is Uh…Hm…Acutally…what I like here is from Italy…Hmm okay…lets see uh… Idk…
What's for dinner? every countries specialty
I loooooooove pokkii (Psst…it's "pow-ki", not "pok-ee")
It's a Japanese snack food that I practically live on!
Strawberry, banana, and coconut are my top three faves
Here's a wikipedia entry on pokkii
Well this is America, but I am obsessed with Japanese food. Anytiem we go out to eat I always want to go to our Japanese restuarant. It's soo good. And they really give you enough to eat on for three days. They prepare it right in front of you and it's really cool.
Where I live we have a Japanese fast food restaurant…it's got the best Teriyaki I've ever eaten. Period.
Chinese and Japanese and SUSHI!
I had dinner in a pub the other day, and afterwards thought that it was probably quite a traditional English food.
A giant yorkshire pudding with roast beef, mash potatoes and gravy inside. With a pint of bitter to go with it (served from a hand pump, live beer).
That sounds absolutly delicious
If I ever visit England, the first thing I'm going to do is EAT
Mmm…teriyaki is niiiiiiice…
What you need to do is to find a nice old fashioned pub with a few "real ales" or "cask ales" on sale, and when you have a meal ask for one of the beers served by a hand pump. They set a nice pub meal off nicely.
Now I'm hungry. Hmm… We could put some recipes here every now and then, what do you people think?
I want some yellow rice…mmmI'm hungry now! look what yall did! -.-
Excellent idea, I love to cook, maybe I could transcribe a few of my recipies
Dreamer - Come to think of it, we have a few old fashioned pubs aroun here, maybe I'll see if any of them have cask ale
Sounds like a good idea, I know a few nice ones.
It's well worth trying to find some. What you need to do is look out for the hand pumps. They look like this.
This will be pumped up and down a few times to pump up a pint.
(If you're interested…the reason you need a handpump is because the beer isn't pressurized, there is a lot less carbon dioxide. This is because instead of it being added artificially it's created by the yeast in a secondary fermantation, while the yeast is in the barrel. The yeast isn't killed off, so when you drink it it has living yeast in it.
There is a lot less carbon dioxide in it, so if you put it on a table you won't see bubbles rising, but it's not flat, if you shake it you will see a few little bubbles.)
Ah yes, I've seen those pumps before, on television and in movies but never in a bar
"Pa amb tomàquet"
Pa amb tomàquet (bread with tomato) is a typical preparation of Catalan cuisine that consists of bread -optionally toasted- with tomato rubbed over and seasoned with olive oil and salt. Sometimes garlic is rubbed on the bread before rubbing in the tomato.
It is served accompanied with any sorts of sausages (cured botifarras, xoriço, fuet, etc.), ham, cheeses, anchovies or other marinated fish, or grilled vegetables like escalivada.
The original base used to be made with toasted slices of pa de pagès (peasants' bread), a typical round piece of wheat bread of a fair size (from 1/2 kg to 5 kg, from some 20 cm to 50 cm in diameter).
The origin of this dish is disputed as tomato is relatively new to Catalan cuisine (it came from America only after the XV century). Widely regarded as the epitome of Catalan cuisine and identity, some sources claim it is actually a relatively recent (mid to late XIX century) invention of Southern-Spain immigrants to Catalonia.
The dish is similar to the Italian bruschetta.
[From Wikipedia]
kjøttkak å potet!! nuff said, lol
Hmmm, does potet mean potatoes? I hope so because I love potatoes
It does, and kjøttkak means meat cakes, something in-between meat balls and hamburgers, in brown sauce. It is usually served with lingonberry jam and flat bread
/me gets hungry!
powerbeyond, i wonder if we are from the same part of norway?
Oh, I could go on about Israeli food all day…
Israeli food has been influenced a lot by Europe and other countries because Israel is a immigrant state and also, a lot of Europeans fleeing from the Nazis came to Israel at the end of WWII.
What I consider to be a classic Israeli food definitley has European origins: Breaded Chicken Shnitzel with couse-couse. Variations of this include shnitzel with pttitim; a type of pasta made up of small grains much like rice, or farfalleh; similar to pttitim but with a more porridge-like texture to it.
I can think of no better meal, and this dish in paticular excites me - it is a personal favourite and is very special to me.
Another well-known dish is Fallouwach - a thin, multi-layered pancake of dough, usually served with a sauce of pulped tomatoes.
These two are more like fast food than the others, but I think they deserve a mention:
Falafel - small balls made of chickpeas
Shawarma - Shavings of meat served in a pitta bread with salad. It's popular throughout the Middle East.
Finally I have to mention a food that is not an Israeli dish but the obvious favourite of every Jewish grandmother - chicken soup! Usually loaded with dill and served with either kneidlach or noodles, this makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
These are my own opinions on what I think are some of most predominant foods in Israel, even though some of them certainly arent unique to the place. I haven't mentioned a national dish bcause I'm not sure what it is. I've used my own spelling, and "ch" is pronounced as in "Chaim".
By the way, my brother says that if Israel has a national food, it is Hummus, which I completely forgot about. The chick pea paste is extremely popular both at day-to-day meals and at special occasions.
Avacado with hot mustard and a healthy dash of nutritional yeast on toasted sprouted wheat slice with soy sauce. also really great with something crunchy!
-Alligator. Elevator. Flatulation. name that sitcom!

Woman Taking Selfie At Zoo Learns The Hard Way That Jaguars Aren't Photo Props ~ Apologizes To Zoo
A woman visiting a zoo this past weekend decided she absolutely had to have a photo of one of its beautiful jaguars. The unnamed female jaguar resides at the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park in Litchfield Park, Arizona. What this woman wanted though, was a selfie with the gorgeous animal.
