When being "shiny, happy, hip" is a bad thing

I'm feeling a little put off today.   I usually keep my mouth shut, but today I'm going to speak. Because the irony is far too great.

If you use blogger you've seen the changes.  I'm still adjusting.

But I did find a nifty little section about where blog traffic comes from and where your audience is, without having to log into Google Analytics.
As I was perusing, I happened upon the little section that told me where people had linked to my blog from in the past week.  A handful came from one site that I'd never seen before, so of course I had to check it out.
This led me to a post from a little over a year ago  entitled "On being shiny, happy, hip".
"How flattering!" I thought...till I read the post. :/
Yes, I just used punctuation to create a face.
It was about NOT reading blogs that make you think destructive thoughts and feel not good enough.  Specifically about mine she said "I stumbled on the blog of this lovely lady, who has had 8 kids and looks better than I ever have. Cue me realizing that this was not a good blog for me to read."

I'm confused...would she have read my blog if I was overweight?  or if I had fewer kids?  or no kids?

The blog goes on to talk about how inferior all of these "perfect" blogs are making women feel.  That they aren't real.  Huh?  Specifically that "blogs are a carefully curated compendium of a person’s life, and things can be made to look as picture the author wishes them to be."
Well, yeah.  (after looking up the definition of compendium...)  Anyone knows that, don't they?  But judging on a 30 second snippet?  Yep, that's fair for sure.

(if you visit that blog, be nice.  This is not a call to stir up hard feelings or defense in my behalf.  AND you're not allowed to visit it until you've read this whole post-especially the things at the very end.)

Can't shake the feeling that maybe if she would have actually read more than whatever post she landed on and seen the nitty gritty that gets posted, maybe she would have felt differently.

Ironically as I looked around her more recent posts...all I found was the shiny, happy, perfect.  Photography, new dresses, hip neighborhood.  Year in review info included style pieces featured on the front page and progess in (wait for it...) running.  Europe trip, photog tips, mom's retreats... What the?  And a cheese tasting board (from whole foods of course).

Not to mention the weight loss challenge, the fashion boards, and the travel section.

You're right.  My life is totally glamorous.
You know, while I'm cleaning up poop from down the legs of my toddler's spica cast (1/2 a box of wipes today and another hour if you were interested.  And a big prayer that I got enough that he won't have skin problems down that leg where I can't reach).

While I'm mopping up 200 oz of laundry detergent.

While I'm digging suction discs out of my 5yr old's nose.

While I'm digging through a hamper trying to help my kid find clean underwear at 6am.

I know, I know-it was our exotic celebrations of our anniversaries in the past.
(that one is written by my husband.  You really should read that if you never have.)

Yeah...'cause that should definitely make you feel inferior after you've just returned from your road trip through Italy.  And your cooking club.  While you're planning your Thailand trip for this fall.

I'm baffled.

Also ironic-this subject actually came up recently in a conversation with Aaron.
Why do people not like me?   This isn't a "poor me!" pity party, I'm genuinely curious!  In high school people thought I was a snob because I was shy.  I was too afraid to step out of my comfort zone and people interpreted that as me snubbing them, when it was my insecurities holding me hostage.  I've made an effort to change that but still find myself fighting it some days.
Is it because I'm an optimist?  I thought looking on the bright side was a good thing?  Is it because I work my freaking hiney off to get back in shape after having babies?  (which wasn't always the case by the way-I learned the hard way.  And it takes sacrificing sleep, free time, and my favorite indulgences, it doesn't just happen.)  Does everyone need to see what I used to look like after 4 kids in 4yrs when I weighed only a few pounds less than I currently do at nearly 9mo pregnant?  I shared the one year of work with very plain post partum belly pictures from last time around.  Guess that wasn't good enough.
Is it because I have a happy marriage?  That takes work too folks-good marriages don't just happen.  Is it because I don't share every time one of my kids tells me they hate me?  Is it because I haven't shared a picture of my stretch marks?  Is it because we are genuinely happy with a date night that consists of Digiorno and Friends reruns?  (or is it just sad that that's actually one of our preferred date nights?)
What is it?  Here I felt like I was being real...

Here's the thing people.  We all have our priorities.  We have control over how we choose to spend our time and what's important to us.
I'm no fashionista, except the few times I've lucked out and worn other people's clothes for a photo shoot.  I don't travel, unless you count a road trip with 8 children to stay in a motel where the decor featured magazine cutouts in dollar store frames and a broken frog statue, or the generosity of parents in blessing my family with a couple of days at Disney.  I don't take fabulous pictures.  Well, except all those finger pics from my phone two weeks ago-I am pretty proud of those and the fact that they drove my husband crazy.
My priorities are being healthy and fit and setting that example for my kids.  Hanging out in the yard with them even though my floor is so dirty that a neighbor stopped by and actually said to me "if you ever need help with anything...anything at all....let me know.  Like, um, if you even want me to come over and sweep your floor..." (yes, she really did, and I still love her.  And I may take her up on that.)  Some days it's on getting a workout in even though I should be doing the ironing that piles up for weeks on end.  Some days it's spending time with my husband, and JUST my husband, even if it means putting my kids to bed an hour earlier.  And sometimes it's blogging even though I should be switching the laundry that's beeping at me.
Our priorities shift throughout our lives depending on so many things.  Some of them will never make sense to anyone but ourselves.

I know I shouldn't let one blog post bug me.  But you know what, it did.  Chalk it up to the pregnancy hormones if you want because I'm sure that's part of it.  When it really all comes down to the nitty gritty, I genuinely don't care what someone who knows nothing of me and has never met me thinks of me and my personal (non-professional, non-money making, few followers) blog that is more of a personal journal for me than anything.  Even if this whole rant makes it sound like I do.  There is too much on my to-do list today to spend anymore time dwelling on someone's thoughts from a year ago.  Although that to-do list does include finishing sewing the drapes for the family room and starting on my baby's blessing gown, which probably puts me right back into making people feel inferior again because I'm sewing.

I'll leave you with two things.
Two things that are worth your time, I promise.  And that I obviously need to hear again today as well.
(and if you have a few minutes, it's worth linking over and reading or watching to the whole thing on both of them, I promise.  In fact if you have time to watch, listening to them speak is the best!)

"There are going to be times in our lives when someone else gets an unexpected blessing or receives some special recognition. May I plead with us not to be hurt—and certainly not to feel envious—when good fortune comes to another person? We are not diminished when someone else is added upon. We are not in a race against each other to see who is the wealthiest or the most talented or the most beautiful or even the most blessed. The race we are really in is the race against sin, and surely envy is one of the most universal of those.
Furthermore, envy is a mistake that just keeps on giving. Obviously we suffer a little when some misfortune befalls us, but envy requires us to suffer all good fortune that befalls everyone we know! What a bright prospect that is—downing another quart of pickle juice every time anyone around you has a happy moment! To say nothing of the chagrin in the end, when we find that God really is both just and merciful, giving to all who stand with Him “all that he hath,”2 as the scripture says. So lesson number one from the Lord’s vineyard: coveting, pouting, or tearing others down does not elevate your standing, nor does demeaning someone else improve your self-image. So be kind, and be grateful that God is kind. It is a happy way to live.               -Jeffrey R Holland, found HERE
 and second,
"This topic of judging others could actually be taught in a two-word sermon. When it comes to hating, gossiping, ignoring, ridiculing, holding grudges, or wanting to cause harm, please apply the following:
Stop it!
It’s that simple. We simply have to stop judging others and replace judgmental thoughts and feelings with a heart full of love for God and His children. God is our Father. We are His children. We are all brothers and sisters. I don’t know exactly how to articulate this point of not judging others with sufficient eloquence, passion, and persuasion to make it stick. I can quote scripture, I can try to expound doctrine, and I will even quote a bumper sticker I recently saw. It was attached to the back of a car whose driver appeared to be a little rough around the edges, but the words on the sticker taught an insightful lesson. It read, “Don’t judge me because I sin differently than you.”"                                          -Dieter F Uchtdorf, found HERE

*ETA: I guess I wasn't completely done with this, or I'm a glutton for punishment.  I had to go and read all the comments on the post.  Interesting.  A lot of "if it's an issue, quit reading it" comments, and a number of "why do you care?" kind of comments too.  I did find a pleasant surprise that while a few others bemoaned me for being "so lucky" to look "like that" after 8 kids, and that my blog was unreadable, there were two that came to my defense and actually read a bit of my blog and pointed out that I posted plenty of not so shiny, happy things.  Much appreciated.

Catey, this is so well said that I don't even know where to begin. But I loved reading what you had to say and the two bits at the end (yes, I read ALL the way to the end as instructed). :) I have found your blog to be real, inspiring, fun and an overall pleasure to read. I find solidarity in who you are as a mom that I know will help me when I am one. Don't change a thing...and I don't believe you will!

Laurie said...

Okay, loved every word, very well written. I had not read the anniversary post written by your husband, it was awesome... and very relatable. I loved the $68 Lucky Charms... I'm sure they were well worth it.

I'm quite sure that you're as real as it gets and I love your shiny happy posts almost as much as your every day mishap ones.

Maybe someday we can get all of our kids together... and go to Hawaii or Disneyland or someplace awesome where all the other shiny happy people hang out.

Tara said...

I don't comment very often, but I love reading your posts in my reader each week.

Your blog appeals to me because it is REAL. It inspires me to see a momma with 8 children who takes care of herself, loves her family, and has a good marriage. That is what I want.

I started following your blog before Sam was born and I have always been impressed by how genuine and honest you are. You tell us about the good, the bad, and everything in between.

My sister and I are relaunching her blog ( and we would love to have a guest post from you! We want to feature real women doing real things and you are as real as they get! Thanks for the inspiration!

Shilo said...

lOh, Catey. I love you!
I'm sorry people can be so mean, especially on the computer.
I just recently went the rounds with a family member over certain things and it hurts like heck to be the one being judged so harshly when you've done NOTHING wrong.
I had the same issues in High School as well, where because I was so shy people thought I was conceited and everything that comes with it. I think I still get that judgement placed on me because I haven't been able to break out of that shell.
I've never been anything but impressed with you. There was a time when I wondered how you kept it all together. Your home was always immaculate (I'd been there maybe 2x's for a planned thing), your kids were always so well behaved in church, you always look amazing...I could go on.
But then there came a day I ran to your house for something and saw that you're just like the rest of us, just trying to make a go of this so called life.
I still think you are amazing and such an inspiration to those of us who 'actually' know you!
Please don't let this get you down!

Becky said...

Since I know the real you I can admit a time or two putting you up on a pedestal but that was before I really knew anything about you. Actually you are AMAZING and someone to be admired and inspired by. Life isn't easy for any of us and if we could just look into each others hearts we'd be shocked at the amount of heartache, disappointment and challenges we'd find in the most "perfect " woman's life. Catey I love how honest you are. I look forward to thr great posts you'll have as you kids start gojng to dances, driving and dating. Thanks for the great talks at the end. Always remember that all of us are just trying to do the best that we know how to do and you're doing fantastic!

Rheanna said...

Love ya Catey! Your blog is my favorite because it makes me often feel like the things that happened here are normal and okay :o) It helps me remember to laugh at all the craziness too---sometimes I'm not so good at that. You're fantastic and it's just sad that she couldn't see that for herself, she's the one missing out!

Heather said...

You were my friend when I was pregnant with my first baby and I watched you be a mom. You're one of my heroes and I'm thankful that I still get to stay in touch with you via this blog. I love that you write about real things. I often think about when I'm having a hard time doing a "motherly duty", that Catey is doing this too! :) One of my mantras I've learned over the years is "If you think someone is perfect, you don't know them well enough." For anyone wanting to feel sorry for someone's happiness think of that quote.

Catie said...

I have to admit that I do admire the heck out of you Catey! And I often think that you do really have your sh*t together to be able to do everything that you do AND be an awesome mama to (soon-to-be) 9 kiddos. But I've also read enough about your life to know that it is NOT easy and I have NEVER thought that you were sugar-coating anything or only showing us the "good stuff." I've known you through some pretty intense stuff.

And you are so right. We all prioritize our lives and decide what's more important and what we want to spend more time on. There is nothign wrong with that.

Is it just me... or was it a little odd to read some of the comments to that other blog regarding the posters' religions... I had NO idea it was a "thing" for atheist women to follow Morman women's blogs for entertainment purposes... wth?

~LL~ said...

Mmmmmm.....Pickle juice! LOL!

You KNOW I love you!

You and your pregnancy-hormone-induced blog.... well, I'm ovulating and this has made me want to blog.

Not only is it envious, but the whole "entitlement" idea haunts many. So many, instead of being happy or inspired by someone, choose to think "Why not me?"

Sometimes the grass IS greener on the other side.... but seldom do people see the work that goes into cultivating that yard.... that I am waxing philosophical, I guess it could be greener because of all the manure that has been dumped......but I digress!

I have *known* you for many kids now....and I feel like we were separated at birth.

You sit on that pedestal, little lady! There is room up here..... I will just move over a bit!

Kelsey said...

Don't worry I was a B.B.A (bitch by association) to some people! hahahahahah Yes, I made that up.
That lady is obviously super insecure and she needs to get a life asap!
Don't even give her a second of your emotions. Haters gunna hate. Yes, I just said that.

Becky said...

You don't know me, but I actually found your blog from that post. Don't even worry about it, the blogger who wrote about it is so insecure that she has to criticize those who have what she wants (in your case, a healthy lifestyle and body).

I absolutely love your blog. It's refreshing to see a mother who find a great balance between her kids, marriage, and herself and is so happy doing it. I hope you don't mind if I keep on reading!

Candice said...

Wow, what a negative person! I generally only read blogs of people I know, but I l LOVE being inspired by my friends and family members that are "shiny, happy, and hip." For me, blogs are a way to keep in touch and a mess-free scrapbook of sorts (since I print mine into books later), but I love reading blogs like yours that are uplifting, motivating, and most-importantly funny! I didn't read much of her blog, but it seems SO hypocrital to me to cut off people's blogs because they're writing nice posts about their lives (with beautiful pictures), when it appears that she's doing the exact same thing! Anyway, enough of my rant. I love your blog, just the way it is.

Jenna said...

It's always interesting to see response posts pop up. I do think you are being a bit defensive. I never said anything negative about your blog, just that it's hard for me as an overweight mom working so hard to lose weight to read the blogs of women who have lost their weight (even if it's me psychologically projecting that they lost it easily, when that probably isn't the case). I only have so many hours in each day you know? And I've chosen to make sure that I stay away from things that cause me anguish. This doesn't mean YOU are doing anything wrong by being yourself or writing your posts or putting yourself out there, it just means that I'm not your target audience.

I have a good life, a really good one. And this year in particular has been/will be rather dreamy (a trip to Thailand like you mentioned). But I post pictures of my stretch mark covered post-partum stomach, blog openly about my weight loss struggle, wrote a detailed post about my post-partum recovery (with record of when I pooped the first time and how it felt), shared my anguish over finding out my son is speech delayed, wrote about how hard school and statistics was for me, bared my soul about new changes in thinking concerning homosexuality and other things related to my religious beliefs (something that was really hard for my family to hear), and many, many other things.

There is no need for us to compete about who is more "real". We can both do it in our own way. And neither of us have to read the other person's blog either. I'm sorry if you felt my post attacked you. That wasn't my intention.

Celeste said...

Hmmm...not sure what to say. I find myself trying to follow the counsel of the last two quotes and at the same time, wanting to defend a friend from hurtful words!!

So instead I will just let you know that I think you're wonderful...always have, always will!

Don't let "ugly words/people" bring you down. You truly are amazing!! :)

Jess B said...

Some people think being snarky makes them smart. And personally, I don't need to know about your postpartum poo. You are a source of inspiration for me and many others. I've "known" you since the August '10 PW boards and my husband knows who Catey is because of all my, "Oh, man! Check out what Catey ran!" or "Check out how AWESOME Sam is doing!" Thank you for sharing yourself.

Karina Macias said...

Catey: You are greater than any snarky comment people can make! We love you and know you are a REAL woman! So proud to be your friend! XOXO

Michaela (aka Mama Michie) said...

Catey, I don't know if I've ever commented on here, but I felt I had to today. We were on the same pregnancy board 4 years ago and I've been a bit of a lurker on here ever since (not in a creepy way I promise!!).

I guess what I love about reading your posts is that you keep it real, you don't glorify the good or the bad... you just seem to write about things the way that they are. I admire you for having 8 (almost 9) kids and still taking care of yourself, and love that you don't have this "better than you" attitude about it either.

Don't change a thing about yourself. You're right, it is all about priorities and you seem to have yours in the right place.

9intheSunshine said...

Hi Catey,
I just want to tell you that I *love* your blog. I am a mom of 7 and interested in running. Many mom/running blogs are moms who have smaller families, and while I admire them, I don't really relate to their lifestyle. You really inspire me, and I love that you share the ups AND downs of your life. So thank you for being real, and please don't let the sour pickle people get to you!

Mel -Tall Mom on the Run said...

GREAT post :) I feel you on both sides.. From someone who tends to be overly honest on my Blog, I find it refreshing to read your Blog.. HUGS!

Martinezster said...

I love that you included the insight at the end. I think sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the good fortunes of others. We all could use a reminder of how great we really have it from time to time. I love reading into the trials and tribulations you share about your life and still seeing you be so darn optimistic. Your fitness levels after 8 children is inspiring and that is what I take from your blog. Reading through your blog is empowering and really puts into perspective how rewarding hard work and determination truly is! So hats off to you for all that you manage to accomplish in any given day!!!

A Scout Ranger Dies in a landmine explosion in Basilan

FORT BONIFACIO, Taguig City--An elite Scout Ranger perished in a landmine explosion in the thickly-forested Abu Sayyaf lair in southern Basilan yesterday (April 11).

The dead soldier was among the 27 elite troopers  belonging to the 13th Scout Ranger Company who were reported as injured in the bomb blast that occurred at 8:00am in Baiwas village, Sumisip town.

His name is withheld by military authorities pending notification of his nearest kin.

Seven of the victims were seriously injured by bomb fragments and shrapnel. The lone fatality expired as he was evacuated by his comrades towards the casualty collection point.

Six of the soldiers remain hospitalized but were declared out of danger except one who is still in critical condition inside a hospital in Zamboanga City.

The soldiers were conducting a recon patrol around Mt. Abong-abong (Hill 850) when one of the soldiers tripped a landmine triggering the series of explosions, hurting most members of the patrol.

Among the injured soldiers are Cpt Joey Magundayao and 1st Lt Jimmie Acar, the Company Commander and Platoon Leader of the said unit.

Both officers are in stable condition and vowed to continue serving in their unit after recuperating from their minor shrapnel wounds.

It can be recalled that 15 Abu Sayyaf bandits were killed in a major battle with Scout Rangers in the same village barely a month ago. The soldiers confiscated several landmines and bomb-making materials from the bandits after seizing the terrorist-training camp.

Colonel Ricardo Visaya, the Commander of the 104th Brigade which has jurisdiction all over Basilan island, has sent troop reinforcements to pursue the remnants of the Abu Sayyaf Group.

Army soldiers receive new housing units

DEFENSE SECRETARY Voltaire Gazmin salutes the colors together with Army Chief Lt Gen. Emmanuel Bautista upon his arrival at the Army headquarters at 1:30pm today, May 14, 2012.

FORT BONIFACIO, Taguig City- The Philippine Army has formally turned over 32 newly-constructed housing units to deserving military personnel inside the Army headquarters here, at 1:30 pm today (Monday), a military official said.

Defense Secretary Voltaire T Gazmin attended the ceremony as the guest of honor and speaker, signifying his strong support to the Army’s projects which are focused on the morale and welfare program for its personnel. Senior military officials led by Army Chief Lt Gen Emmanuel Bautista also graced the occasion that was attended by other military personnel, beneficiaries and their family members.

Major Harold M Cabunoc, the Army Spokesperson, said that the construction of the housing units is under the JUSMAG Replication project of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority .

It is the BCDA's initiative to secure the relocation of JUSMAG housing area occupants whose residential area is taken over by BCDA for possible lease or development.

“The former JUSMAG occupants are prioritized in this replication project, and there are also new applicants who were granted the privilege to avail of these housing facilities inside the camp,” said Cabunoc.

In his short message, BCDA President and CEO Arnel Paciano Cassanova said that the completion of the replication project was his own personal commitment.

"This is our way to recognize the invaluable services rendered by our soldiers for the country. We would like to honor them with a decent housing facility that they can call home," he said.

The 32 completed units are part of the 160 condo-type units of the 10-unit buildings which are constructed a few hundred meters away from the posh residences of Mc Kinley Hill.

Cabunoc said that the remainining 128 units are still undergoing final touches and will be completed by November 2012.

Each housing unit has 3 main bedrooms and a maid's quarters which is comparable to the condo units in nearby areas that can be rented at around P15,000.00-P18,000.00/month.

Army personnel occupying on-base units pay a maintenance fee amounting to Php 400.00 for enlisted personnel and P500.00 for officers. This 'rental fee' could vary depending on the quarter allowances per computed based on the soldier's rank.

Aside from the condo-type housing units, the Army will also turn-over 50 apartment type housing units later this year. With a floor area measuring around 180 sqm., each unit has 4 bedrooms and an attic.

These units are projected as transferring area for the occupants of the Junior Officers Quarters (JOQ) along Arellano Road. Vacated units will be awarded to 50 deserving enlisted personnel of the command.

The new Army housing program

The new Army housing program started sometime in 2005 as part of the Armys' thrust to grant decent housing facilities for its soldiers. To achieve this goal, the Army partnered with Non-Government Organizations and Local Government Units to strengthen its housing initiatives.

Since the inception of the Army Housing Program, a total of 2,144 Army-wide on-base housing units were already granted to personnel, 879 of which are inside Fort Bonifacio in Metro Manila.

On-base housing facilities are constructed right inside the Army bases across the country, but these could not be owned by the soldiers. Those who opt to avail of off-base housing can own the property by availing of housing loans from reputable lending institutions partnered by the Army like the PAG-IBIG fund.

Meanwhile, donors of the off-base units normally shoulder half of the amount due, with the remaining half of the total amount paid by the beneficiaries on a monthly basis.

A partnership with the Gawad-Kalinga Community Development Foundation, Inc. gave birth to the Kalinga sa Kawal Housing Project.

Under this project, lots were initially given to Army personnel. Following the signature mode of Gawad-Kalinga, the soldiers in the spirit of ‘Bayanihan’ will work together in building their houses.

Out of 872 completed housing units, 687 are already turned-over while the remaining 185 are yet to be awarded.

P-Noy housing project

Augmenting the Army housing program is the P-Noy housing project which started in 2011.

A total of 10, 699 housing units were allocated for the personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, out of which 3, 783 are dedicated for the Army wherein 3, 319 were already entitled for officers and enlisted personnel waiting for formal turn-over.

The remaining units are still open for application. These housing units are located outside military bases such as General Trias in Cavite, Calamba in Laguna, Bulacan, and Rizal.

Meanwhile, Cabunoc said that through the continuous support from the government and external donors, the Army will continue to provide shelter to its personnel, enhancing the security and protection of the soldiers' family members.

“Owning houses does not only provide physical security but more importantly an inspiration for the beneficiaries to continue living their dream of giving a good future to their families while serving the country,” said Cabunoc.

Army chief Lt General Emmanuel Bautista said that he will always support the implementation of projects that will benefit the soldiers.

“Granting modest and comfortable housing facilities for our soldiers is our humble way to uplift the living conditions of our soldiers who have faithfully performed their duties, especially those who are helping the people in far-flung communities. It is also part of our attaining our vision of becoming a world-class Army by 2028,” said Bautista.

NOTES (and video): Facing KC Twice in Four Days

What a nice day to be back out on the training field: yesterday's practice turned out to be an indoor workout because the fields were covered in snow. Today: blue skies, sun, and a pleasant 60 degree temps.

The team has a Friday morning practice and then leaves for Kansas City, where they'll play the Wizards twice in four days. Saturday's game is a regular season contest that will be played at their current home, CommunityAmerica Ballpark (6:30 pm MT, official viewing party at SOBO 151.)

The two sides will meet again four days later in a qualifying game for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup: Tuesday, April 13th at Stanley H. Durwood Stadium on the campus of the University of Missouri-Kansas City (8:30 pm MT). Click here for the game preview and additional game notes.

Some other notes:

  • The Rapids acquired forward Quincy Amarikwa from San Jose on Wednesday in exchange for the clubs natural 2nd Round selection in the 2011 SuperDraft.
  • Quincy will take one of the roster spots that opened up when we placed Ross Schunk (knee) and Ciaran O'Brien (hip) on injured reserve. They'll both miss at least the next six games. In the meantime, they won't take up a roster spot.
  • MLS clarified the roster limits today, giving clubs more options to add home-grown talent.
  • Claudio Lopez still hasn't received his visa, so at the moment, he's in a holding pattern. There's still a chance it could be granted before rosters close for the weekend on Friday afternoon. Then it's up to the coaches to decide if when to add him to the roster and/or when they feel he's ready to play.
  • The loan of keeper Steward Ceus to Charlotte was completed. However, since Ian Joyce injured his ankle last week, we called Ceus last week back per the loan agreement. Steward was here all week and is likely to travel for both the Kansas City games.
  • Speaking of Ceus, here had a new look. Before. After.
  • We're also in the process of potentially loaning out Rob Valentino to Tampa Bay Rowdies of the newly-named USSF D-2 Pro League (formerly USL D-1). In order to get him started - similar to what happened with Ceus - he's already in Tampa training with the team.
  • Some may have notice a couple of number changes: Andre Akpan will wear #19 for the year, and Oscar Murillo will wear #6. Amarikwa will use #12. Lopez was wearing #7 during the week, the number Valentino had been using.
  • The club today announced another adidas Alliance Partner, the Downtown Las Vegas Soccer Club. Here's more info.
Below is a short video of Gary Smith talking about facing KC twice in four days...

Share my passion

Follow me on my journey through Motherhood, the Divine world of Raw Organic Eating, Greater Spiritual Awarness and a life that will eventually lead to Self Sufficiency and Complete Contentment.......This is my journey.....

Sunday, 1 January 2012

Welcome 2012 - the year it all happens!

Happy New Year Everybody!
And a happy new year it is!
2012 has arrived and I am so excited to welcome it in.

This is the year we will be finally achieving a dream we initiated 15 years ago. It was that many years ago that Mick and I got engaged on a Gold Coast beach as 20 year old's and decided after a drive through the Sunshine Coast hinterland, that we were going to one day live in the hills on a patch of land and call it ours.

We had often looked back, in hindsight over the last many years and wondered how we could have done things differently to achieve this goal quicker and wished we did, but it has only been recently that I have come to realise that we were just not ready until now.

Our life that has been our journey to this point, has been a learning journey to prepare us for our dream and without experiencing it thus far, our dream would not have been achieved in a complete way.

Both of us have grown in Independence, maturity and most importantly spiritually which has lead us to more than just wanting to buy a parcel of land on the Eastern Coast hinterland to call it ours. We now have real purpose on how to 'live' on that parcel of land and achieve a life of contentment.  We now also have greater financial security, a greater awareness of simplicity and a greater understanding of our life's purpose. Its only during the recent years we have really developed this long term dream into something realistic and sustainable. I now have been introduced to the world of 'unschooling' for our children's needs, I am now involved in an ethical and fun dreadlocking business for future income, We have sufficient financial funds to keep us debt free, We have greater insight in to a completely healthy and sustainable form of eating and have a stronger burning passion to start living this way of life which is getting stronger every day.

I have now come to realise that things always happen for a reason, nothing is a coincident, life is how it is for a purpose and we are exactly where we are suppose to be at this very moment. Everything that happened yesterday has been a lead up to this moment and everything that will happen this moment is a lead up to what is going to happen tomorrow. Timing was just not right until this year for us and so bring it on! 2012 here it is!

I will also look forward to another year of eating a fresh and energising live food diet and so have started the year with a fast to shed my last few months of 'un-enthusiasm'. The past 3 months I have lost a lot of my 'passion' for life due to a number of reasons, hence my eating has not been as high raw and exciting as I would have preferred. But today is the start of a new year and I am looking forward to getting back into a few new raw recipes and simplifying my meals and life as we transition from this life to the start of the rest of our life - back east.

Since June 27, evidence of BB or pellet gun-related vandalism has been reported at more than two dozen individual residences and business in at least seven local communities, including Whitman, East Bridgewater, West Bridgewater, Raynham, Bridgewater, Halifax and Hanson. Whitman police said they have identified a person of interest.

WHITMAN – People have walked to their cars to find their back windshield destroyed. Residents have woken up to the sound of their windows shattering.

Since June 27, the region has been underfire with more than 30 incidents of BB or pellet gun-related vandalism to vehicles, house windows and businesses.

Police are working to put an end to the rash in BB gun shooting, and now they may be a step closer.

Whitman Police Chief Scott Benton said that they have a suspect in the recent BB shootings in Whitman and surrounding communities.

“There is a person of interest,” Benton said.

No arrest had been made as of Wednesday afternoon.

Benton could not comment further about the identity of the suspect as it is currently under investigation he said.

There have been dozens of incidents reported at individual residences, to vehicles and a business in at least seven local communities, including Whitman, East Bridgewater, West Bridgewater, Raynham, Bridgewater, Halifax and Hanson.

In most cases, the shootings have targeted unoccupied cars parked in residential driveways, some occurring overnight and others during the day.

Whitman and East Bridgewater account for the majority of these reports.

Since the incidents began Whitman has received at least 14 reports of BB or pellet gun damage to windows.

Over a five-day period in East Bridgewater, 11 vehicles and homes were targeted with similar hits.

Barbara Jones was one of the East Bridgewater residents whose windows were shot out at her home on Spring Street.

“I was just sitting in my recliner, watching TV, when all of a sudden I heard this pinging sound on the windows,” the East Bridgewater resident said. “I went out and saw the holes in the windows. ... I said, ‘Oh my god, somebody shot my windows!’”

Police found four holes in her front windows and BB pellets strewn not far from her house.

With the strength to shatter windows and and take down small animals from hundreds of yards away, BB guns are surprisingly easy to obtain.

Any person at least 18 years old can purchase a BB gun without a firearm identification card. The BB guns are sold at local stores such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, Wal-Mart and Sports Authority for a cost of $20 to $400, depending on the make, model and type of BB or pellet gun.

“I hope they catch them before they do hurt someone,” Jones said

Over the past ten days the BB gun incidents have slowed down.

Raynham, Bridgewater and East Bridgewater do not have any reported incidents recently.

On July 21, a Whitman Street home was targeted overnight and a vehicle window was reportedly smashed.

“It would be nice if this was all brought to an end,” Benton said.

With reports by Shannon Gallagher.

Learning habits

Reda Sadki Learning strategy

What are the learning habits that we perform on a regular basis to stay current? As professionals, we organize our personal learning habits in different ways that reflect our interests, personalities, and career paths. We rely on a variety of information sources, engage in reading, attend seminars and conferences, or take MOOCs or other online courses. And, of course, we connect with others. The content we seek may be directly related to our work – or conversely we may seek to acquire knowledge outside our immediate realm and field of vision.

Some or if not most of our reading of work-related content takes place outside of work, even though some of us may choose to cordon off our private lives and succeed in doing so at least some of the time.

We use these information sources in different ways, striving to question what we learn, sorting and organizing what we gather.  We recognize the deeply personal nature and diversity of these learning habits. Informal learning is not limited to the context of work. We may mobilize modes of inquiry or specific values to approach a problem in work, drawing on our personal lives, faith or culture, or family contexts.

Each of us organizes such mostly informal, continuous learning in different ways. Making this strategic is not about prescribing best practice, but about recognizing the value of such practices. Our ability to quickly make sense of new knowledge – and to make it a habit – may be more important than the knowledge itself.

Outdoor VS indoor steam electric stations

THE CONTROVERSY over the relative merits of outdoor and indoor generating stations will probably persist for a long time, but for the Houston (Tex.) Lighting & Power Company the question has been resolved definitely in favor of outdoor plants. This decision is based on its own experience in pioneering the development of the outdoor design in the Texas Gulf Coast area.

I have tried this one for the tea party at school of my younger son. It was a fund raising for their educational tour. The idea is that, the parents have to offer cakes for an afternoon tea time and the students (Grade 1) will play as the waiter or waitresses. So grandparents and parents are invited to join the fund raising.

My contribution is this tasty Lemon Pond Cake

For the ingredients:

1/2 cup (4oz.) margarine or butter
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup finely chopped or ground almonds
grated rind of 1 lemon

1/4 cup sgar
juice and rind of 1 lemon

  1. Cream together the margarine and sugar, add the eggs one by one and beat well. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture slowly alternating with the milk. Stir in the nuts and the grated rind. Put into a greased, 6 cups, square or circular cake tin.
  2. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour or until a knife pushed in the center comes out clean.
  3. Remove from oven and while still ho push holes in the top of cake and pour on a syrup of the sugar, lemon juice and rind cooked together until thick. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. Frost with Lemon Frosting.

1 cup confetioners' sugar, sited

1-2 Tbsp. lemon juice

  1. Gradually mix the lemon juice with the sugar, until a thick slightly runny frostin is formed.
  2. Put in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  3. Beat wel and use to frost the cake. It looks attractive if you let it run down the sides.

The recipes are collection of different cooks from different countries including chilians.

BOXTY (an Irish recipe)

From (" A Little Irish Cookbook" by John Murphy) that i got from the airport in Cork while waiting for our flight back to France:

I did'nt try this yet but according to him "Boxty" is a traditional potato dish, celebrated in the rhyme:

Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan,
If you can't make boxty, you'll never get your man.

For the recipe:

8oz/250g/1 cup raw potato
8 oz/250g/1cup mashed potato
8 oz./250g/2cups plain flour
1tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
large knob of butter, melted
about 1/4 pt/125ml./1/2 cup milk

For the procedure:

Grate the raw potaoes into a bowl. Turn out onto a clothe and wring, catching the liquid. This will separate into a clear fluid with starch at the bottom. Pour of the fluid and scrape out the starch and mix with the grated and mashed potatoes. Sieve the dry ingredients and mix in along with the melted butter. Add a little milk if necessary to make a pliable dough. Knead lightly on a floured surface. Divide into flour and form large, flat cakes. Mark each into quarter but do not cut right through, and bake on a griddle or in a heavt pan.

If like, more milk and an egg can be added to make a batter which can be fried in bacon fat like drop scones.

ADAM - a Real-Time Unity Demo Film

Staff Writer By: Unity3D

The Unity Demo Team built Adam with beta versions of Unity 5.4 and our upcoming cinematic sequencer tool.

Adam also utilizes an experimental implementation of real-time area lights and makes extensive use of high fidelity physics simulation tool CaronteFX, which you can get from the Unity Asset Store right now.

To make Adam, the Demo Team developed custom tools and features on top of Unity including volumetric fog, a transparency shader and motion blur to cover specific production needs. We'll make these freely available soon!

Adam runs at 1440p on a GeForce GTX980. Attendees at Unite Europe were able to play with it in real time, and we'll make a playable available soon so everyone can check it out. A short version of Adam was also shown at GDC in March 2016.
