Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9, Chappie and Elysium, wants to save the Alien franchise from itself. And, going by what we've heard of his planned approach to Alien 5, he could well pull the xenomorph out of its festering cocoon and make it the cinematic terror it once was.
We've already seen the amazing concept art he's commissioned, and heard his plan to ignore the travesties that were Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection in favour of bringing back an aged Ellen Ripley and Corporal Hicks from Aliens. Now Hicks himself, actor Michael Biehn, has dropped another fan-pleasing tidbit – Blomkamp wants to resurrect Newt, the resourceful girl who manages to survive among xenomorph on LV-426.
Related: Six Reasons Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5 Could be Chest-Burstingly Excellent
Speaking to Icons of Fright, Biehn explained the thinking behind the story outline:
They're planning on bringing me and Newt back and at this point Newt will be around twenty-seven years old. I know that every actress in Hollywood is going to want to play this one, it's really a passing of the torch between Sigourney and this younger actress who would play Newt. It would keep the franchise alive and the studios would make money, because that's what the bottom line is now: money.
Casting would be an interesting one – even the most hardcore of fans would struggle to make a strong argument on bringing back Newt's original actress Carrie Henn, who never really acted again after 1986's Aliens.
However, all this conjecture may be for nothing, as Biehn confirms that the sequel idea has been put on ice indefinitely in order for studio 20th Century Fox to focus on (at least) another Prometheus sequel, named Alien: Covenant:
The basic idea is acting like Alien 3 and 4 never existed, so if you go on Neill Blomkamp's site, everyone can see all of the artwork for that. I know Ridley Scott is doing his movie first and is going to be the executive producer on this one, so I'm really looking forward to that. I know that Ridley's focus is on the second Prometheus and I'm sure that he and Fox both don't want that and Neill's movie to come out right next to each other, because they're kind of two different worlds, with Aliens taking place thousands of years later, which is how they explained it all to me, but at the same time, they want to give them a similar feel. I know they're putting the brakes on Neill's movie just for a little while, but I really think that it would be embarrassing to Ridley and Fox and Sigourney if they just didn't make the movie.
The original Prometheus was flawed, but interesting enough to deserve a sequel. But it only takes a cursory glance at sci-fi websites and forums to know that all anyone really wants to see is the return of Ripley and Hicks. Hollywood is mostly known for burying great ideas (mostly), but this is a potential cash-cow it would be crazy to overlook. [Icons of Fright]

"There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but boys, it is all hell"
oachambers on Nov. 7, 2007
The above quote is from William Tecumseh Sherman (February 8, 1820 – February 14, 1891)
Born Tecumseh Sherman, he was an American soldier, businessman, educator, and author. He served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War (1861–65), having received recognition for his outstanding command of military strategy and criticism for the harshness of the "scorched earth" policies that he implemented in conducting total war against the Confederate States. Military historian Basil Liddell Hart famously declared that Sherman was "the first modern general"

- Nisqually State Park Predesign
Nisqually State Park Predesign
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is taking steps to more fully develop Nisqually State Park. The planning phase includes a "predesign" report that considers several development alternatives with the primary focus on initial phases of development. The report must be submitted to the Office of Financial Management in 2019 before funding by the Legislature.
The foundation for the overall project was established when the original vision was described in the park master plan (2010). The plan states how Nisqually State Park is wonderfully positioned to provide outdoor recreation and environmental education to meet the demands of visitors from an expanding regional, statewide, national and even international population. The master plan has already resulted in the development of a modest parking lot, informational kiosk, and vault toilet in 2016.
The predesign report analyzes various alternatives for the construction of a new entrance where State Route 7 intersects the park, a 50-unit campground, a trail & overlook at the Mashel River, and access to the Nisqually River. It considers options for storm water management, stewardship of natural resources, installation of utilities, and placement of a new welcome center and maintenance facility. Finally, the predesign report addresses how to best align future phases of development with the current project.
Developing Alternatives
State Parks met with the Nisqually Tribe on June 20, 2019, and with park neighbors and stakeholders on June 25th to share design alternatives and seek input on development of a park entrance, a campground, an overlook of the Mashel River, and managed access to the Nisqually River. State Parks is considering the input we received, as well as public safety, natural and cultural resource protection, project costs, and park maintenance and operations issues as we develop a preliminary recommendation. Please review the documents below, and feel free to send us comments, questions, or suggestions using the "Provide Comment" link near the bottom of the page.
In the documents below you will find: A PowerPoint presentation that shows background information and design alternatives, a wetland reconnaissance map, a list of proposed campground amenities, and a description of the various options being considered for managed access to the Nisqually River.
Update on the preferred alternatives
State Parks met with park neighbors and stakeholders on November 13, 2019 to review design alternatives and seek input on the preferred alternative. Below you will find a PowerPoint presentation outlining the three alternatives that were considered, along with the preferred alternative. Also below are comments that were received at the meeting. Please submit additional comments by November 30, 2019.

One of my favorite memories is the snack my mom fixed me when I came home from school. It was just enough food, love and thoughtfulness to get me through the homework (or after school sport) crunch before dinner. I can still taste the homemade cinnamon applesauce I dug into as my little feet dangled from the kitchen table chair–a fitting thrown to share my elementary adventures of the day.
Here are some healthy snack ideas to munch on and share while you listen to your own little (or older) trooper's woes and adventures.
Frozen Yogurt Pops: mix plain greek yogurt with chopped fresh fruit, place in a paper cup or popsicle mold with a popsicle stick, cover it, toss it in the freezer for 3 hours (or until frozen) and take it out for snack time. Add in vanilla, raw cacao or cinnamon.
Hummus and Veggie Sticks: yes, kids will eat hummus especially if you tout its yumminess. Serve it with your kids favorite veggie like carrots, celery or red bell peppers. Play Bonus: use the hummus as the center of a flower and the veggies as the stems and petals.
Guacamole and Veggie Sticks: Serve it with your kids favorite veggies, but watch the spiciness, unless, of course, your kiddos like spice. Play Bonus: use the guacamole as a monster face and the veggies for eyes, nose and mouth.
Awesome Sauce: mix almond/cashew/sunflower seed butter with plain (no sugar added) applause and cinnamon. You can add a couple of whole nuts for extra fun crunch.
Nuttin' But Fruit: grab your kids favorite fruit and serve it with some nuts or nut butter a la apple with almond butter. Play Bonus: use the almond butter as the center of a flower and the veggies as the stems and petals.
Ants on a Log: An oldie, but a goodie… put almond or sunflower seed butter on celery and line it with a few raisins or currents.
Baked Apple Nutty Goodness: serve it with a little almond or coconut butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Just got back from Columbus, Ohio and have a report for you all on Origins 2018 today. I'll begin, where everything ended which was with Darcy at the Monte Cook Games booth. This was about ten minutes before the Dealer hall closed, and Darcy, still going strong, and pitched me on Invisible Sun, and provided a preview of the new Kickstarter game by Monte Cook & Co. She mentioned it had arrived and was very likely to be actually available at GenCon, and didn't balk when I asked about the price, which was a really good sign. While being one of the most expensive games around, the boxed set, of course, is AAA quality, with simply gorgeous production values… and will only be available in a limited edition, so if you want to order one, or two… the good time is now.
Monte Cook Games
This year, there were more and better games available than ever before. It seems like we have entered a second Golden Age for Roleplaying games as well as board games and I'll be providing some overviews and information on a few of these gems as well as providing reports on gaming and games being played at the show, So buckle in, and buckle up, it's time for your whirlwind tour of Origins 2018!
Saturday June 16th, 2018
We arrived on Saturday Morning about 9:30 AM to a very modest line. We had not preregistered at all, and I wanted to see how well the show was going. There is usually always a rush during Saturday morning as the people only available for the weekend register, and buy badges, however our wait in line was a brisk twenty minutes, and we were badged within twenty-five. First stop, a Tour of the Dealer hall, and here are a few photos from our first visit. Click on any of the pictures to embiggen.
WOTC's Avalon Hill brought an M5a1 Stuart Tank for the Axis & Allies gaming areas at the show….
D&D Monster Mash – This was the hottest ticket at the show on Saturday Night, with people three deep around the table fighting for the chance to play in a round… The premise, you are a D&D monster in the dungeon, chock full of other monsters. Good Luck! Lots of gruesome death and mayhem with this game…
Random Tabletop Wargaming
The Walking Dead Minis Game
There were lots of Train Games at Origins 2018 as well!
…More Origins goodness to come!

Apologies to those who've watched me disappear from this blog. I won't list all my excuses here, but I'm glad to be able to say, with some bitter-sweetness, that I've restarted the series that proceed The Red Forest. It's lacking a title, but I began it in November for NaNoWriMo and reached about 51k words, which, coincidentally, is the approximate word count I've reached so far in Parallax. That project has been in hiatus since summer of '11.
Here's to a new year, yes? I hope to at least complete one of those novels I'm working on, because I have a third story that's been lulling around in my mind for the past two months. I must admit, new story ideas don't come to me extremely often, but when they do, I let it simmer in my mind for a while. Sort of like a test for strength, if you will. Am I the only one who makes "deals" and "conditions" with themselves? I told myself I won't begin this new story until I finish at least one of my novels-in-progress.
The new story? It seems, at the moment, to be in the SF/F genre, parallel or alternate universes and such… multi-dimensional, that sort of thing. And all that inspired me was a four minute cut scene from a video game preview. From that video, a cascade of ideas and characters assaulted me, and it's stood the test of time because I'm still thinking about it. But I must complete the first draft of one current novel first!
Otherwise, life's been busy and I don't get half as much free time as I'd like to write (or paint). I have a part-time job, I have two consistent commissions for a website and illustrations for a friend's writing project, and I'm also homeschooling my kindergartner as well as doing all the other things a mother and wife does. Feeling very unproductive as of now! But I apologize, I said I wouldn't explain [all of my] excuses. I've been reading a lot too, there were some winners and losers in my reading list, but the good certainly outweigh the bad. My past reading list is here, and I successfully completed my goal of reading at least forty books in 2011!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holidays. Anyone make some New Year's writing, or otherwise creative, resolutions for 2012? I have an inkling it will be a most interesting year.

We took off on the boat today and headed to Jost Van Dyke. We have a newbie with us, first time our of the USA. And several other friends. It's a beautiful day, flat water, all around perfect day.
We were sitting at the bar at Soggy Dollar and someone approached us and asked "are you the couple that does the St Thomas blog thats from WV?" Why yes we are. :-). They read the blog regularly and recognized us from our pics. That's so cool! Thanks for reading the blog :-)
The good the bad and the details. We are moving to St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. We will try to keep a rambling record for anyone that ever dreamed of giving it all up and moving to the Islands to learn from or just laugh at.

I meant to post this yesterday. We ran the boat over to water island and had lunch at Heidi's Honeymoon Grill. Then walked down to Joes Beach Bar for a beverage. It was a great afternoon. Followed by steaks on the grill, sitting out on the patio under the stars. Can't beat that.

Local Boater Option Card
Now Deb and I have used this program for some time, and we usually have visiting friends, that are lawful US Citizens get there card as well. The abridged version of how it works is you get the highly secure hand written card with yet another number for the Government to assign to you, when you call in to customs they plug it in and it gives them all the data on your passport etc. The difference is you can do this on the phone within twenty four hours of returning from a foreign port on a private vessel and most days this is good enough to get you back in the county legally. Mind you that in addition to my passport and drivers license I also hold a Merchant Mariners Document (captains license), a TWIC card this is a Transportation Workers Identification Card, both of these required an FBI background check and the highly secure handwritten local boaters option card.
The process used to be fairly simple, but with all things having to do with homeland security, simple simply doesn't make sense, nor does it generate money from the Federal Budget. What you used to do to get your card was to walk into the customs office either on St Thomas or St John, ask for a local boaters option card. If they were in the mood or weren't to busy clearing in a Ferry from the BVI they would fill out the form, look at your Id's and if you were real lucky they would give you the highly secure hand written local boaters card. Most days they would take the paperwork, tell you that they couldn't process it until tomorrow afternoon and tell you to come back then to pick it up. Sometimes you would come back the next day and the person that processed it would be off and no one would know were the highly secure card was, so you would come back the next day. Well alas no more, now there is a web page, https://svrs.cbp.dhs.gov/ at this Web Page you have to pre enter all the information for your card, then you have to pick an appointment time, at your local customs office.
The reason I am writing all this is we have a friend in from the states that doesn't have a local boaters card, we were going to try to get her one yesterday when she got here, but alas the next available "appointment" is the day she leaves on the 31st. So I guess it's back to customs for us. I will not be surprised if the local customs office keeps this five to seven day window for "appointments" to discourage people from actually coming in and making them fill out the highly secure hand written cards. I will give them the benefit of the doubt it might just be the holiday weekend, but that seems like a lame excuse as they are open 365 days a year.

Back on the rock
Made it back safely to St. Thomas. It was a long day and US Air almost made me miss a connection in Charlotte, but I ran through the airport (thank goodness it's not too big) and made it. Whew.
The island is back to a pretty green after all the rain and the cisterns are full so that is a major plus. We really needed it. Probably got more than needed but isn't that how it usually goes.

Back to de Islands
Had a successful but exhausting trip back to WV to work on our house. Got a lot done and found a wonderful tenant. They seem to really love our house so I feel really good about renting to them. I spent the whole trip working, no fun stuff, only one night out with friends and there were so many people there I didn't get to visit with everyone. But I still had a great trip, glad I went to check on things.
Jay didn't do a very good job keeping up with the blog while I was away so shame on him :-)

I wish this was my view today but I'm still in WV working my booty off at our house. I hope to be done by tomorrow so I can have a little fun Saturday night and Sunday before heading back home.
I've heard it's still raining in St. Thomas so I haven't missed much there. I got flood warning emails this morning from weather.com for Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands so I hope it stops soon or it could be a real mess. The weather in WV is supposed to get better starting today thru the weekend. I sure hope so. I was hoping to get out on the river some but it doesn't look like that's going to happen with the river condition and my list at the house growing vs shrinking
But I found this pic of my favorite place and it always puts a smile on my face. As Kenny would say: oh I wish I was there tonight, on Jost Van Dyke ....

Rainy greetings from WV
Well I had to make a trip to WV to deal with our rental property. I thought I was going to be able to post a nice pretty pic of the river and green grass. Yeah right. It hasn't stopped raining since I arrived. It was raining when I left St. Thomas, raining with lightening in Charlotte, and raining when I arrived in Charleston. I guess I brought the rain with me. Sorry guys. The rain has made the river brown and yucky but the level looks ok so that's good.
It's also freezing, so between the weather and working on the rental, it hasn't been a fun trip so far. But it is great to see friends and family, so that makes it all worth it. :-)
Monday, May 16, 2011
Lots of rain
It's pretty much been raining for a solid week now. Just about every day since last Tuesday has been overcast, sprinkling, or full on rain. It's good for the island, it needed it. But not good for friends visiting. But at least they had the right attitude. They understood the need and just adjusted their plan. Bars, drinking and naps vs beach and boats lol. You never know what the weather is going to do in the VI so you have to just go with the flow, remember where you are, enjoy the view and relax. That's exactly what Jay and I did all weekend :-)

TGIF! What a week. We've been busy busy busy. But it was a lot of fun. Between Carnival, forum friends and friends from WV we've been running like crazy. Sorry about the lack of posts. We just totally forgot. Ever since we got on Facebook all our attention got directed there instead of here like it used to be. I'll go through all the pics and try to do a week in review post this weekend, while we are staying home and doing absolutely nothing! Need rest :-)

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there! We love you even if we don't say it enough. :-)
We're headed back out on the boat today, going over to St. John. Going to try to make it a little bit lower key day, good luck with that lol We had a great time over on Jost Van Dyke yesterday, but we always do so no shocker there.
So all the mothers, enjoy your day, try to relax, let someone else wait on you for a change. :-)

We won't be making that event since we came over to St. John for a Cinco de Mayo party at a friends house and spent the night.

Artist and sculptor Wick Ahrens is known for creating whales out of basswood in a naturalistic style. His studio/gallery in Weston, VT is called Whales in Vermont - playful name as Vermont is landlocked... but that is part of the joke I imagine. His work is in corporate collections, galleries, public spaces and occasionally for sale. Smaller (32") pieces are sometimes in the New England tradition of weathervane icons [like those -ed.] and others go up in size to 54" or commissioned 18 foot x 1000lb works.

A new report on global corruption has been used by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to assess countries' level of risk for timber illegality. The FSC used Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) to determine whether countries are at high or low risk of trafficking in illegal timber. The CPI uses citizens' perception of corruption in their country's public sector, and is widely respected as a key indicator of corruption.
In Europe, Hungary and Croatia both moved into the high risk category, meaning that companies must carry out further verification measures to ensure that timber from these countries has been harvested legally.
The CPI 2016 covers perceptions of public sector corruption in 176 countries. The countries at the top of the list share characteristics of open government, press freedom, civil liberties and independent judicial systems. Countries at the bottom of the index are characterised by widespread impunity for corruption, poor governance and weak institutions.

'Charlie Wilson's War' actress Julia Roberts has confessed to converting to a lesbian for socialite Paris Hilton.
An insider has reported that Roberts, 40, gushed repeatedly,"She's young, she's blonde, and I can imagine her naked".
Hilton, 27, is reported to be apalled. "Ew, that is like, disgusting! She's probably more than three times my age!"
A close friend isn't so sure that Paris has revealed her true feelings or not. "I don't know, Paris has been keeping everything in her bra, lately. It's hard to tell."
Neither party has confessed as to if the two have considered going the next step or not.

SAN FRANCISCO – FBI agents found him in the science fiction section of a small branch of the San Francisco public library, chatting online.
The man known as Dread Pirate Roberts – 29-year-old Ross William Ulbricht – was on his personal laptop Tuesday afternoon, authorities said, talking about the vast black market bazaar that is believed to have brokered more than $1 billion in transactions for illegal drugs and services.
When a half-dozen FBI agents burst into the library in a quiet, blue-collar neighborhood, they abruptly ended Ulbricht's conversation with a cooperating witness, pinned the Austin native to a floor-to-ceiling window and then took him off to jail, law enforcement and library spokeswomen said.
Ulbricht was later charged in criminal complaints in federal courts in New York and Maryland. He's accused of making millions of dollars operating the secret Silk Road website and of a failed murder-for-hire scheme, all while living anonymously with two roommates whom he paid $1,000 to rent a room in a modest neighborhood.
Federal authorities shut down the website.
Ulbricht has not entered pleas to any of his charges. His federal public defender in San Francisco declined to comment Wednesday. Ulbricht is due back in San Francisco federal court Friday morning to discuss bail and his transfer to New York, where the bulk of the charges have been filed.
He is charged in New York with being the mastermind of Silk Road, where users could browse anonymously through nearly 13,000 listings under categories like "Cannabis," "Psychedelics" and "Stimulants."
Ulbricht also is charged in Maryland with ordering first the torture, and then the murder, of an employee from an undercover agent. He feared the employee would expose his alias as Dread Pirate Roberts, a fictional character. Court records say he wired the agent $80,000 after he was shown staged photos of the employee's faked torture.
His arrest culminated a two-year-investigation that painstakingly followed a small trail of computer crumbs Ulbricht carelessly left for the FBI to find, according to court documents.
Ulbricht first came to the attention of federal agents in 2011 when they figured out he was "altoid," someone who they say was marketing Silk Road on other drug-related websites the FBI was watching. In October 2011, "altoid" posted an advertisement for a computer expert with experience in Bitcoin, an electronic currency, and gave an email address.

The Photograph
Over my thirty-some years of life I remember often coming back to family albums of my mom and dad's trips to Israel, Cairo, Canada, NYC and the many places they have lived or visited. My dad had a Minolta 35mm camera - the same camera I started my photography education. He had a basic understanding of the settings and took simple, but beautiful snapshots of my parents' lives in the 70s and 80s.
I have gone over these photos of my parents hundreds of times over my lifetime and they are what gave me a thirst for travel, new places, new stories and experiences. They gave me identity - told me where I came from and what came before me - put me in my place in this great world. I love these photos and what they show of my life and my history, some before I was even born. Now most of us keep images tucked away in iPhones and computer files. And while I treasure these digital files as well, they are not satisfyingly tactile as the eternal printed image.
These are the photographs of the snapshots in my parents' albums; ones I've looked at too many times to count. I began photographing these photos to see them again and give them new life.
What legacy will your family photos leave?
Treasure the images of your past.

Basil Fawlty, BBC, Dining experience, Fawlty Towers, Manuel, Mayflower Theatre, OvationRestaurant, Southampton, Sybil
I haven't laughed so much since …
It was a dining experience with a difference. The food was exemplary. There was a choice, of course – take it or leave it. Unlike the entertainment; the Ovation restaurant at Southampton's Mayflower Theatre had been taken over by Basil Fawlty, his wife Sybil, and the waiter, Manuel, from Fawlty Towers. You couldn't leave it.
Luckily we arrived before the allotted time and were shown to our seat, unlike the couple who didn't quite make it. Basil announced to the restaurant that these people must be the most fashionable in Southampton, as they insist on arriving 'fashionably late'. That set the tone for the rest of the evening. Every joke and punchline from the BBC's 12 original episodes (Two series, 1975 and 1979) was replayed in context of the evening.
Between bouts of laughter, we had our elbows pushed off the table by Basil, and our chairs pushed in every time Manuel went past. Bread rolls were served Fawlty-style, from the end of the table and lobbed in the general direction of a diner. Nobody was safe. One lady diner, in urgent need of the 'facilities' tried to make her way, discretely, to the loo, only to be grabbed by Basil and marched back to her seat and told that it was not a fire evacuation.
Basil the Rat (iz no a rat, iz a hamster!) played his part, and we didn't mention the war, but we did mention The Germans.
All in all, an evening of side-splitting laughter and tears. The voices and mannerisms of the actors were a perfect match for the originals (John Cleese, Prunella Scales and Andrew Sachs), and the delivery and ad-libs were perfect for the evening.
I must thank 'my little piranha fish' for booking our places.

After almost one week of holiday (6 days, 5 night actually), i have finally made it back to my hometown, Jogja (Indonesia). I took an AirAsia flight this morning from LCCT, Kuala Lumpur at 7 AM in the morning on flight number AK 1324. I was picked up by the driver at 4 AM in the morning and then we drove to the airport. I was quite surprised that even in 4 AM, there were some people who still eating in Alor Street (the famous place to experienced a lot of Chinnesee food in Malaysia).
The destination to the airport was quick, since it's early in the morning. When i arrived, we go directly to the check in counter and put our luggages and head on to the waiting room, waiting for departure. They provided free Internet service, so you can take your time browsing, checking emails, or post updates to social media sites.
Around 6:20 AM, we were called to board the plane, but the plane departed at around 7:15 AM due to some problem with the fuel system. Anyway, it was a smooth flight. No major bumps on landing and while on the air. We arrived in Jogja around 9:30 AM and quickly moved to the immigration area because the place is very small and so crowded with lots of other people lining up waiting for their turns.
Anyway, it's good to be home again.

It's Thursday. You know what that means? I leave for vacatioooooooon tomorrow. Not just me, me AND my husband. Time to officially celebrate turning 30, celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary and celebrate a full week of unplugging and relaxing. My goal is to not get on my computer the entire week and to not workout the entire week. It's time to calm TF down and let my brain shut off for a while. And time to make out with my husband a lot.
But before I leave, I'm trying some new workouts! Today I'm going to try out the Versa Climber class at Transform through Class Pass and I'm pretty damn scared for it. It's a 30 minute workout of complete cardio and I can't remember the last time I did cardio for 30 minutes straight. Maybe back in my college days when I use to do the stair climber for 2 hours at a time. Gross. We will see…
Soooooo I think I'm in vacation mode because I'm having trouble concentrating right now and creating a full sentences. So I'll just leave you with the recipe instead! This recipe is a delicious treat and it's super freaking easy to make! Instead of listening to my normal BS, just go back this recipe. It's a good time!
Peppermint Patty Chia Pudding Parfaits

- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 heaping tablespoon almond butter (or other nut or seed butter)
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 6-8 mint leaves
For the parfait
- 10 ounces almond milk greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons cacao nibs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- Blend all ingredients for the chia pudding, except for the chia seeds, in a blender until combine. Strain through a sieve to remove any excess mint leaves. Place the blended mixture into a resealable large jar then add chia seeds. Seal jar and shake extremely well.*
- Place in refrigerator overnight or for at least 3+ hours.
- The next morning, whisk together greek yogurt and honey.

Recipe Notes
*I find that if I shake the chia seeds very well, put them in the fridge for 20-30 minutes then shake once more, this keeps the chia seeds from congealing.

For many years, we have had two cats – brother and sister (though they look nothing alike!)
That's Spike on the left. Mittens is on the right.
They not only look different – they also have quite different dispositions.
When there's food involved, Mittens will come and rub up against me. She'll show the bare minimum of affection, based on immediate felt need. Once she's fed, she pretty much keeps her distance – always a bit skittish, and never wanting to be picked up and held. She's not hostile – just not warm and cuddly.
No-one would conclude that at-ease trust is her strong suit.
Mittens is as pretty as all get out, with lovely soft fur – and I wish she'd just relax and enjoy our company more. We care for her, but can't really express it very directly, because she's more into a paws-length relationship.
Until she needs her daily bread. Then we're….useful, I guess.
Spike, on the other hand, is our lover. Just look at that face! When I'm on the deck trying to read, he'll hop up into my lap for some extended petting time. Spike purrs freely. He likes to be brushed. He initiates contact. He doesn't mind being picked up and held.
He just wants to be friends.
Two cats, same family, same master who cares for them both.
There's a lesson here. I am far too much like Mittens in my disposition toward God.
I think Spike has it right.

Nurses announce support of proposed tax changes that have doctors fuming
NationalPost.com – News/Politics
September 6, 2017. Brian Platt
In a blow to the political efforts of doctors to halt proposed tax changes that will hit their income, the Canadian Nurses Association has come out in favour of the government's plan.
A statement posted Tuesday evening by the CNA, which represents about 139,000 registered nurses, said it supports the government's "aim to achieve federal tax policy that treats all sources of income similarly and equitably, based on the principles of social justice."
The CNA is also encouraging its members to write to their local MP about the changes, mirroring a campaign by doctors to do the same in opposition to the proposal.
"CNA supports the proposed changes to the federal tax code which reasonably strengthen the rules on increasingly-popular but potentially unfair tax advantages for incorporated high income earners," the statement says.
Unlike doctors, most registered nurses are salaried and unlikely to get much in the way of tax benefits from incorporating (though some nurses are self-employed). Doctors, by contrast, are considered independent contractors and get their income through fees regulated by provincial governments.
Barb Shellian, CNA's president, said in an interview that registered nurses aren't trying to provoke a confrontation with doctors, but have studied the government's proposal and broadly support its aims.
"We don't see this as a foundational change for a large number of people in the healthcare system," she said.
"Nurses have told us that they believe people should pay their fair share, and the principle of paying people well for what they do is always the foundation. If you have advanced education, you're in a job where you need a lot of skills and knowledge, you should be paid well for that. But you should also be taxed fairly for that, because income is income."
Finance Minister Bill Morneau has proposed sweeping reforms to the way private corporations are taxed, with the stated goal of reducing tax avoidance by the wealthy. A wide range of small business groups and professional associations who are worried about the effect of the proposal have joined efforts to oppose the government.
Speaking before a Liberal caucus retreat in Kelowna, B.C., Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emphasized the government has no plans on backing down.
"I want to be clear: People who make $50,000 a year should not pay higher taxes than people who make $250,000," he said. "We're always open to better ways to fix that problem, but we are going to fix that problem."
Around two-thirds of Canadian doctors are incorporated, often at the encouragement of provincial governments as a concession on fee negotiations.
There are extensive guides for doctors on how they can save tens of thousands of dollars through incorporating. As one example, doctors can name family members as shareholders and then split their income through the corporation to drop the doctor's income into a lower tax bracket.
The proposed changes, announced on July 18 for a 75-day consultation period, would include requiring all family members named as shareholders to pass a "reasonableness test" to ensure they are legitimately earning the dividends, rather than simply getting them for tax reasons. It would also eliminate the income tax advantage of holding a passive investment portfolio inside a corporation to get a lower tax rate, and then withdrawing it later.
As doctors have pushed back against the proposed changes, they have argued it will negatively impact the health system.
"The federally proposed changes will affect how we've been investing in our medical corporations and — ultimately — could set the stage for a national crisis in primary care," wrote Shawn Whatley, the Ontario Medical Association president, in an Aug. 2 newspaper column. "Cuts to doctors mean cuts to patient care. It may take months, or even years, but patients will feel the cuts inevitably, and I'm certain they'll be painful."
The CNA's statement rebuts that position, arguing the changes are good in the long-term for the medical system.
"Should the proposed changes pass, provincial and territorial governments should see an increase in revenues which can be invested in strengthening our publicly-funded health services, which in themselves employ thousands of salaried, highly-skilled professionals who pay their fair share of personal income taxes."
The consultation period on the government's proposal runs until Oct. 2.

Electronic bingo approved; aimed at boosting Vikings stadium funding
Audio: MPR's Tim Nelson discusses electronic bingo and Vikings stadium funding
The Minnesota Gambling Control board gave the green light to electronic bingo in Minnesota Monday, adding to the expanded charitable gambling slated to pay for the state's share of the $1 billion Vikings stadium.
The "linked bingo" games allow gamblers at different locations to play together, increasing the size of jackpots.
E-bingo comes months after the Legislature approved of the first electronic pulltab gambling machines, which are now in about 200 locations. So far pulltab revenue has fallen far short of initial projections.
Backers claim the addition of linked e-bingo, with jackpots as high as $75,000, will help boost interest for the games, both among charities that sponsor them and among players.
The board approved the game as an addition to an existing electronic pulltab device, offered by St. Paul-based Etab Manufacturing.
The game is called "Piggies from Heaven", and its expected to be available at a handful of Twin Cities locations--including the Running Aces horse track in Anoka County--later this week.
Distributors are hoping for a statewide rollout starting April 1.

July 13, 2015 — Describing themselves as "two over-caffeinated Jesuits in formation," Louie Hotop, SJ, and Br. Matt Wooters, SJ, hosted their own podcast, "In Other News," while studying at Saint Louis University. They nicknamed each other Brother Matt and Captain Louie, and their quirky and charismatic personalities drew an impressive pool of listeners on the airwaves of campus radio station KSLU and the music and audio website SoundCloud.
From comic segments that included interviewing "Gandalf" on metaphors for human life to William Wallace on the Scottish Referendum, they never failed to make their listeners laugh. But they also discussed serious topics and contemplative questions about spiritual life and thought, interviewing well-known Catholic thinkers and writers.
They asked Fr. James Martin, SJ, about how he maintains a vibrant spiritual life in the increasingly digital age and his advice for those wanting to enter religious life. They spoke to Fr. Greg Boyle, SJ, about his ministry to former gang members, Homeboy Industries, and creating kinship and compassion. They interviewed Sr. Simone Campbell on faith in politics, women's issues and the importance of hope.
For the final episode of their second season, they interviewed Krista Tippett, host of the popular podcast "On Being," which explores what it means to be human and where spirituality and life intersect. With optimism and faith in their generation's commitment to community, communion and service, they discussed the disillusionment present in journalism today.
In her interview, Tippett said, "I very much value that biblical teaching to develop 'eyes to see and ears to hear.' And if you do that, if you look for and listen for what is true and beautiful and good, it's so abundant. The dark side is true as well, but we don't have to let it have the last word."
Hotop and Br. Wooters reflect this in their podcast, bringing lightness and laughter into a news system dominated by tragedy and disillusionment. In fact, they see their vocation as "sharing our laughter and our joy as a means of sharing our faith."
All episodes of the podcast are available for streaming on SoundCloud.

Tackling blood stem cell heterogeneity
Distinct populations of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that preferentially generate specific types of blood cells can be identified based on abundance of a single surface protein, according to a study published online on April 26 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
The concept that HSCs, which give rise to all types of blood cells, are heterogeneous is not new, but distinguishing distinct types of HSCs from one another has proven challenging. Hiromitsu Nakauchi and colleagues set out to find a way to identify and study different HSC populations.
The team found that HSC populations expressing high, medium, and low amounts of the surface protein CD150 exhibited different propensities to generate specific blood cell types. And some of those expressing the highest levels of CD150 exhibited an unusually 'latent' or 'delayed' ability to generate new blood cells.
By refining our understanding of the complexity of HSCs, these findings may be useful in studies aimed at determining which HSC populations are affected in particular blood cell diseases.

Our Ingredients
There are whole ingredients, there are fresh ingredients, and there are whole, fresh, all-natural, Fair Trade ingredients. We hope you can guess which ones we like. We also like to know everything about them, from their first days as a little spice shoot to the people that planted them in the first place. That's why we visit the origin of the spices in each Third Street blend every year, just to cozy up to the farmers, their environments and the living standards of each location. (And yes, it is absolutely awful to travel to all these exotic places, smell buckets and buckets of fresh nutmeg and cardamom, and form new friendships the world over.)
Before our spices travel across land and ocean from places like India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Egypt and Trinidad, we make sure that the people we do business with are people that our customers would do business with, and that they're well taken care of. But finding the best sources for our ingredients is just part of the fun of being in the spice business. Here's a few more of our favorite things:
Cinnamon, a tree bark, is traditionally used to boost circulation and breathing, increase awareness, reduce fatigue and even as an aphrodisiac.
Black Pepper, another circulation booster, is also a good pal for boosting the metabolism, countering the chills and keeping the nerves in a balanced, healthy state. Attila the Hun – that darling – demanded pepper as ransom during the siege of Rome in AD 408.
Ginger, a steady stimulant for the circulatory and immune systems, has been used to treat such disparate conditions as impotence and motion sickness.
Nutmeg was used by ancient Arab physicians to treat kidney and lymph troubles. It's also been used for centuries to ease sciatic pain (that's the biggest nerve in your body, heading all the way from your lower back to your feet) and promote digestion.
Clove is a dentist's best buddy when it comes to natural pain relief and general antiseptic needs. Or it was, until they realized we preferred to be knocked out entirely. Like pepper and ginger, clove is also used to increase the potency of herbal blends.
Cardamom, a natural mood elevator, is a popular favorite in both Indian and Chinese herbal healing traditions to benefit the lungs, kidneys and heart.
Star Anise is credited with a variety of properties within traditional Asian herbalism systems. Among them are applications as a cough remedy, a breath freshener, and even soothing relief for hernias.
Fennel had a star role in the royal herb gardens of medieval France and Germany, and is still widely used to treat laryngitis, as well as kidney and ocular complaints. (That's your eyeballs. But don't go sticking chai in your eyeballs.)
