Dreams of Hidden Rooms

As some of my longtime readers know, one of my more subtle special interests is dream interpretation. It's really not too far a jump from their to one of my bigger interests, psychology. I don't do the reading for omens type of, but more along the lines of deeper understanding of what my dreams represent about what I am feeling behind the scenes, so to speak.

Last night I had a dream that I lived in a house that was a mish mash of houses that I have lived in, and others I haven't.  I had to go up to the attic for some reason, and that is when I discovered that there were several homeless people living up there. I was shocked. There was only one small room, and some old dilapidated furniture.  It was sparsely furnished, and cold.  At one point, I decided to sit down, and try to talk to some of the people living there. I attempted to sit on a loveseat, but there were holes in it, and the springs were sticking out. One of the people told me it was due to a rat infestation, but that they had recently gone. I was still a little afraid to sit anywhere, because I was afraid that a rat would come out, and bite me. I began to get acquainted with some of the people living there. There were two ladies, a little boy, and a coupe older women. I was heartbroken about the little boy, but the others insisted that he was better there than at home. I wanted him to come with me, but he was not ready. In fact, none of them were ready. I kept coming, and going as I tried to decide how to handle the situation. It was one that most others wouldn't understand, and I knew I had to find my own way to deal with it. Most people wanted me to just toss them all out by force, but I knew I couldn't. I knew they'd all come out of there in their own time, and I would be able to gently persuade them to come down safely. I began visiting them, and getting to know all the people that lived there. I was able to get a couple of them talked down, and to dinner.

One time while I was up there as I was cleaning, and exploring I noticed some sort of passageway, or something. Somehow, I went from being in the attic to this hallway that seemed long, and mysterious. As I crept down a black, and white checkered hall I came upon a room, and went inside. It was what looked to be a living room lavishly decorated with furnishings from another time. Bucket type of leather seats, and shag carpet. A console TV glowed from a corner of this dim lit room. I felt suddenly like I was intruding on another time. Kind of like it was haunted, and I was an unwelcome guest.

I ran back out of the room, and went further down the hall, which now looked like a regular hallway in an older Victorian style home. I came upon room after room all beautifully decorated, and fully furnished. The closets were full of clothes that matched the era the room was decorated for. It was as if each room was abandoned minutes ago, yet I knew it had to have been empty for years. Towards the end of the hall it was darker, and the walls looked less cared for. I creaked open a door to the last room, but I was overcome by fear of what lurked inside. I ran away, and back into the part of my home I was accustomed to.

Later on, I returned with my husband, and some other people.I wanted to show them the hidden rooms that I had found. I warned them that it felt haunted, but they assured me that it was not. When we entered the room where the TV was on I explained to them that this was one room that would prove that it was haunted. They told me that was impossible. The owners of this part of the house had gone away decades ago, but I insisted they had to still be around somehow, because the TV was on. When we entered the room the TV wasn't on this time. We went into each room which seemed to have in it something that I can remember from my life growing up, such as a chair from my grandparent's house, or a telephone from my aunt's. When we came to the end of the hall where I was too afraid to go before I suddenly didn't feel so afraid with others with me. We went into the room, and it was another corridor to yet more of this seemingly never-ending house.

There was someone with me who knew all about the previous owners, and what each room was for. He explained that one room, for example was for the lady of the house to can in. It was a big room filled with porcelain tubs, and shelves. A big porcelain pressure cooker that was the best in it's time sat on one side of the room.

The kitchen was expansive, and had a whole room for food. Every box, and kitchen appliance was left in it's place as it was years ago. I didn't want to disturb any of the vintage food. It all looked so perfect lined up on the shelves. Everyone else wanted to start throwing all the old food away, but I didn't want them to. I knew that I wanted to eventually move into this place, but I wasn't ready to just yet, and I wasn't sure it felt right to throw things that felt so valuable to me away.

This was all that I remembered.

After looking up some dream symbols, and thinking about it all day I think I have deciphered some meaning out this very vivid dream. I think the homeless people in the attic was telling me about some of my fears, and hidden memories. There are a lot of aspects of my past that I feel are negative, and that I probably spend a lot of time trying to cover up, and make up for, but now am beginning to accept as okay. The rats (negative judgements, and fears) were gone, but the damage was still very evident. I began trusting my own instinct, and found that things worked out. That is when I found the hidden rooms, which signifies finding new roles, and discovering new strengths. The fact that it was one that was abandoned also adds to the fact that I am doing this in a way of  leaving the past behind. The first time when I was by myself I felt afraid, and somewhat limited, but when I came back with others I felt more confident. I was able to go into all the rooms, which opened up even more rooms. By leaving things behind that no longer support me, and instead moving forward with those who do I found even more potential. Not only was I able to discover new territory, but it was rich, and full of potential. Each room contained within it the finest quality of furnishings available.

I think this dream was spot on with so many things that have been happening in my life. I am always afraid to stand up for myself in some personal situations, but lately I have been. As a result, I have grown as a person, and found the vast pool of potential that was inside me all along when I focus on the people who support me vs. those who judge me.

Links to the old web pages of KKE

The international sites of KKE gradually move to a new page format. You can find the previous versions of the already upgraded pages (with all their content) following these links:

PAME’s Demonstrations: Optimism for the people can only be found in the development of class struggle

The demonstrations organized by the All-workers Militant Front (PAME) on November 9th in Athens, Thessaloniki and many other cities of the country sent a message of resistance and counter-attack to the government and the bosses.

Trade-unions, trade federations and Labor Centers, stepping up to the call to organize demonstrations, reaffirmed that they are prepared to take up action against the new wave of anti-people offensive that the government is launching in a number of fronts catering to the interests of the capital.

It is a struggle developed daily in the workplaces where the working class fights for signing Collective Contracts, against the loss of job posts and working rights, against state and boss terrorism; in the mobilizations against the banks and the state that are foreclosing, evicting and putting the people’s belongings in auction.

These demonstrations where a milestone in this activity, pushing forward to continue and intensify this effort, in preparation of a strike that will respond to the new attack the government is ready to unleash against the collective action and organization of the workers, particularly aiming against the right to organize strikes.

Nikos Mavrokefalos, member of the Executive Secretariat of PAME, taking the podium of the demonstration in Syntagma Square, condemned the anti-people politics of the SYRIZA-ANEL government and made reference to important spots of struggle and resistance that are developing in sectors and workplaces, such as: The mobilizations of the hospitals’ medical doctors against the dismantling of the public health-care system and against the intensification of the working conditions that lead the staff to exhaustion. The struggles of the steelworkers in the Shipping Repair Zone, that led to the signing of a local Collective Contract. The strikes of the National Telecommunication Organization (OTE), the mobilizations in the Constructions sector for the Collective Treaties. The mobilizations in the factories of “Elais” and “Lever”, in the Press sector for job posts and for working rights. The initiatives of trade-unions and People’s Committees against the foreclosures and evictions, against auctions of the people’s belongings. He added “We are obliged to strengthen every spot of resistance and unite these struggles towards a general confrontation with the bosses as a class. Against their people in the trade-union movement, against their political parties”.

Mavrokefalos emphasized that PAME fights for the signing of Collective Contracts. “We organize the struggle for the Collective Contracts in all sectors, in every business. We build upon the initiative of 530 trade-unions that a year ago presented an elaborate proposal of demands and struggles” he noted.

Dimitris Koutsoumbas, GS of the CC of KKE, from PAME’s demonstration in Syntagma Square, highlighted the following:

“Economic crisis and capitalist development have a common denominator: the crushing of people’s and workers’ rights. We find no optimism in the speeches of Mr. Tsipras or Mr. Mitsotakis regarding the fair development. Optimism for our people can only be found in the development of the class struggle, in the quick regrouping of the working class movement, in the Social Alliance, in the struggle in all fronts and in the all-around strengthening of the KKE”._

Back in the spotlight, or stuck in the wings? Blair re-enters the stage

Post (an extended) interval; re-enter Tony Blair stage left. The stage is frenzied, chaotic and noisy. A ‘Vote Leave’ banner hangs dishevelled above, and a silhouette of Brussels burning haunts the backdrop. Blair moves centre stage. A bright, heavenly beam hits him. Quiet descends around. A cool blue wash is cast over the stage, and order is restored. End scene.

This might be how Tony Blair hoped, or even imagined how, his return to British politics would look. The reality is a much messier situation. The days of New Labour’s slick PR machine are gone. So far Blair’s reintroduction has only added another flicker to the pre-existing Brexit furore.

To recap, former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, in an extensive interview with the New Statesman, announced that he wanted to return to British politics. Not necessarily in a leadership position, or in elected office, but to offer his voice as an elder statesman in public discourse.

In this interview he warned that Brexit “can be stopped if the British people decide that, having seen what it means, the pain gain cost-benefit analysis doesn’t stack up”. Though not calling for a second referendum, he hinted heavily that it is a credible possibility.

Shortly after this, the man who Blair replaced as Prime Minister, John Major backed his former rival’s assertion. Shortly after, a former Lib Dem leader, Paddy Ashdown, dangled the very real chance of BrexitRef ‘mark 2’ (in some form or the other).

So does the return of the class of 97 provide a glimmer of hope for the many businesses, who would preferably role-back the clock to before June 2016, sidestepping the impeding uncertainty of the next two years? Don’t bet on it.

Many view ‘establishment’ figures like John Major and especially Tony Blair as having heightened Euroscepticism and fuelled the desire to ‘kick the system’, which boiled over on 23rd June.

Such interventions could further the anger towards the political class; adding to the view that there is a group of out of touch professional politcrats, running the system as their own, financed by big business and bigger banks.

The bigger issue for Blair is that his legacy is tarnished by Iraq; his re-intervention may seem like a career move, rather than a genuine call for public service.

For businesses to secure the best outcome from Brexit, engaging in discussions, and lending a rational voice to the process is the most sensible way to avoid an unsavoury Brexit for business. Harking back to the way things were in the ‘swinging 90’s’ is a tantalising prospect for some, but a venture with a slim chance of success. Voices ‘from the past’ therefore do little to help business. The challenge for ‘remainers’ is finding a new narrative which can go with the times, and aid the prospects of business.

Round 4 – Doonbeg – Ryder Cup Singles Matches

Compared to the day before the weather for the second round at Doonbeg was fantastic.  Partly cloudy, some sunshine and light winds.  No rain.  No rain suits or rain gloves necessary.

Day 2 of the Ryder Cup was for the 8 singles matches.  The results of each match are shown below, but overall the winners were Team Miller over Team Palmer for bragging rights when they are at their cottages next summer.

In the evening an excellent dinner was also had in the little village of Doonbeg.  Some video and picture highlights from the round showing the beautiful weather and the stunning clubhouse at Trump International Resort Ireland at Doonbeg.

I Am a Double Reactionary

Whenever I listen to enthusiasts for the free market, or when I walk past a block of hideous corporate offices, or when I listen to bullish corporate types, I feel like waving the red flag and letting off a smoke-bomb in a board room.

But whenever I listen to Marxists and quasi-Marxists, I feel like shouting: "YOU go and start a business and pay proper wages and share all your profits if you think it's such a brilliant idea! What's stopping you or anyone else from doing that? And how did building a socialist society work out whenever anyone actually tried it?".

Will the Muslim Brotherhood Win in Egypt?

Many foreign policy experts believe that the radical organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood will gain great influence with a change of government in Egypt.

This secretive group has had many Western observers uneasy for years. The Brotherhood was founded in 1928 in Egypt, with the goal of spreading Islamic sharia law worldwide and uniting all Muslim nations into one Islamic super-state.

Before Osama bin Laden formed al Qaeda, he belonged to the Muslim Brotherhood. So did his top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri and 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

The terror group Hamas also identifies itself as the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestinian branch.

Why is there such a draw to the Brotherhood? the group's official motto may tell the story. It reads:

Allah is our objective.
The prophet is our leader.
Qur'an is our law.
Jihad is our way.
Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.

The Brotherhood was eventually banned in Egypt, but for the past several decades has worked behind the scenes to the point where it's now considered the most influential Islamist organization in the world, with chapters in more than 100 countries.

The group's immediate goal is an Islamic state in Egypt and an end to that country's peace treaty with Israel.

What is the danger if the United States and other nations do not understand what the Muslim Brotherhood is all about?

Walid Shoebat, who was once a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, has authored many books about Islam and the Middle East, including his most recent, God's War on Terror: Islam, Prophecy, and the Bible.

Shoebat was born in Bethlehem to a Palestinian family and was once a PLO terrorist. Now, as a Christian, he works tireless to educate people about the realities of the radical Islamic agenda.

Shoebat will appear on The 700 Club, Monday, Feb. 14, to talk about the Muslim Brotherhood, recent events in Egypt, and how the upheaval will affect Christians living in the region. Check your local listings for show times, or check after 10 a.m. ET, Feb. 14.

I have kept the same sourdough starter alive for over two months now. It's a rye starter based on Nigella Lawson's recipe in How to be a Domestic Goddess. By based on, I mean I started by loosely following her directions, and now I quite often make what ever kind of bread I feel like from it. Sometimes rye, sometimes oaty bread, sometimes pizza. Well you get the idea.

For those of you who don't know, sourdough, from how I understand it, makes yeast out of air. You mix up flour and water in the correct quantities and leave it loosely covered for most of a week. After a few days it starts to bubble. Once it's made, you can keep it in the fridge and use it to make bread. The night before you want to bake a loaf, bring out the starter and mix some of it with more flour and water and set aside. This is called sponge. Then you feed the starter with more flour and water, leave it out for a few hours (to 'eat' the food) then put it back in the fridge again.

I have no idea how long starter can live. But, to celebrate two months of sourdough, I bought my starter its very own jar (as seen here). And for all you technical fiends, yes, I know how it really works, I just wanted to over simplify things a little for easy reading. Really, when you get down to the bare basics, it's pretty much works how I said.

Eminent Domain: Know Your Target Audience

Knowing Your Target Audience is Marketing's Eminent Domain

Suffice it to say that such a thing as brand loyalty has become rare and it is the job of a good marketer to understand what makes the mind of the consumer tick. The advent of new technology within our global culture has created a faster than light mentality toward information. From an advertising and PR standpoint, the main concern is that the customer be sent the correct information, at the correct time and in the correct format.

There must be an understanding of the customer and their needs.  It is most important to understand the target audience. Essentially a marketing strategy is built around the core values, vision and objectives of the organization. In development of market strategy, one becomes aware that in order to have product, price, promotion or placement, the organization must have done its research on the market and the consumer need for its service. Without an understanding the targeted audience, the organization cannot market at all. It is important to work the product, its price, distribution and promotion around the needs of the people and of course, from there, work to persuade segments of the segment into wanting the product.

What many business people starting out really do not understand about marketing and understanding the average consumer is that more that likely the target is open to finding information about your product or service. It may be they are unaware the need is not satisfied yet but until the need is defined, they will not be receptive. They just need a little push in the right direction. Still it is your job and the purpose of the marketing strategy to define who should be looking for you.

Knowing your target audience is also eminent in developing your website. The variables that define your target audience also shape your site and how the search engines will guide potential clients to your virtual door.

Ask yourself these questions to help you better understand who your business is working for; your target audience:

1.    Who does your product appeal to, and what are their general characteristics?

  • Start out broad. General attributes to consider are your target audience’s age, sex, location, income level, and marital status.

2.    What is their motivation for buying your product or services

  • In short, what is your customer’s pain? Why do they so badly need you? The point is your product adds some sort of value to their lives. Figure out what that value is.
  • Is your product something they need or something they want? Does having your product elevate their social status somehow? Does it make them feel better about themselves? Or is it something that merely entertains them?

3.    How does your target audience shop? To best market to your ideal customer, you need to figure out their purchasing habits.
Do they tend to make impulse purchases, or are they more rational, logical consumers?

  • Where do they shop? Online or in person?
  • Are they loyal to particular brands or are they always susceptible to jump ship?

4.    Where does your target audience congregate? In order to communicate with your target audience, you need to first know where they are.

  • By knowing exactly where your target audience is, you can focus your marketing efforts into those areas so that you have a better chance of capturing their attention.
    If your target audience is the teenage group, figure out which social networks and other websites they frequent most. Which type of physical establishments do they hang out in? Which TV and radio stations do they tune into? Which magazines do they read?

Next, Turning Your Friends and Family Into A Focus Group!

Recipe: 3 Cheese Mushroom Bake | Jess & Josh Cook

Recipe: 3 Cheese Mushroom Bake | Jess & Josh Cook

It’s the week before payday so we’re living off leftovers and doing mostly veggie meals to keep spending to a minimum before I get paid tomorrow and blow it all over the bank holiday weekend.

We managed to get 4 meals out of this pasta bake (2 dinners and 2 lunches) so I thought I’d share the recipe with y’all so you can give it a go if you’re saving or if you just want a super easy mid-week recipe.

Three Cheese Mushroom Pasta Bake

What You’ll Need

  • 400g pasta, any shape, we used Penne
  • 1 red onion
  • 100g button mushrooms
  • 100g chestnut mushrooms
  • 2 rashers of bacon (optional)
  • 60ml marsala wine
  • 150g butter
  • 150g plain flour
  • 500ml vegetable stock
  • 3 tablespoon parsley
  • 100g cheddar cheese
  • 100g Parmesan
  • 1 mozzarella ball
  • 1/2 tin sweetcorn
  • salt & pepper
  • olive oil

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C, fill a kettle with boiling water and once boiled get a pan on with your pasta, a pinch of salt and part boil for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, blitz the onion in a food processor and chop your mushrooms however you prefer. Slice the bacon into little chunks if using.
  3. Heat some oil in a frying pan and cook the mushrooms for a couple of minutes. Then add the onion, bacon and a shake of salt and pepper and cook until the onion is soft.
  4. Add the wine and reduce.
  5. Then add the stock, butter, flour and parsley. Stir well and cook until around 3/4 of the liquid has reduced.
  6. Add the cheddar and mix until it starts to melt.
  7. Add the pasta and coat in the mixture.
  8. Mix in the sweetcorn.
  9. Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish and top with Parmesan and mozzarella.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes or until all the cheese has melted and turned golden.

You can then have it for lunch the next day like I did…

Uptown Cheapskate- Color Me Disappointed

IMG_0003_resizedWhen I started this blog, I promised to share my fashion hunting experiences- both good and bad. So… this is a cautionary tale, to be juxtaposed with my glowing review of Clothes Mentor. Out of curiosity from hearing their ads on local radio, I wandered into an  Uptown Cheapskate in the Charlotte area (I’ll be kind and not identify which one). The staffers greeted me warmly and shared that they were only open to buy at the moment, but that I was welcome to have a look around. I perused the aisles for only moment, before discovering an armful of clearly faux designer handbags. Fake Coach purses abounded and the clothing looked a little worse for wear. My boyfriend was with me as well, and reported that he found a $15 Polo shirt, that was covered in stains.

It’s possible that this location will improve as their business is open for purchasing as well as buying, but after that initial trip- I will definitely be saving my shopping trips for other venues.

If you have a story of your own positive or negative experience with a Uptown Cheapskate location, I’d love to hear them! Maybe I’ve judged them too harshly…and if you’re looking for a cheap knock-off, this might be your place!

Here is what their website promises that you will find at their stores. (With prices this low, perhaps they just can’t compete):

Crazy Prices on the Brands You Crave http://uptowncheapskate.com/

•   Tops and Tees from $4.99
•   Colored Skinnies from $12.99
•   Denim for all  from $7.99
•   Dresses and Skirts from $9.99
•   Flats and Boots from $6.99
•   Hoodies and Jackets from $8.99
•   Bags and Totes from $12.99
•   Scarves and Hats from $3.99

One thought on “Uptown Cheapskate- Color Me Disappointed

  1. I HATE the store now. I bought a few Louis Vuitton bags only to later find them ALL to be fake. I never thought to check them because I assumed they were real because that’s what the store prides its self on. Never again. The store is a joke.

There She Blows Again: Maxine Waters Claims 700 Billion People Will Lose Healthcare [VIDEO]

Maxine Waters seems to be a bit math challenged these days… along with being absolutely bonkers. She went on MSNBC and claimed that under the Republican healthcare bill that 700 billion would lose their insurance. Nice trick… except the entire population of the US is approximately 325 million. In fact, the population of the planet is about 7.3 billion. Oops! Talk about overstating a lie to begin with.

She nuts you know. Right?

Mad Max made this outrageous claim while discussing the impact of healthcare changes on the state of Kentucky. I think the good Senator Rand Paul might have a word or two to share with Maxine on this topic. After he gets her a straight jacket and some really good meds. Chris Hayes of course was shilling for the left asking Waters how Republicans can cut costs and increase coverage. She said that’s a lie. Let me tell you something… it’s not. But not done the way the Republicans are currently doing it. If we repeal all of Obamacare and hand it over to the free market, costs will go down dramatically and coverage will increase once again. But then again, I’m not demented and math challenged like Waters is.

..scroll down for crazy biatshiite video..

From The American Mirror:

According to Maxine Waters, 700,000,000,000 people will be harmed if Senate Republicans repeal and replace Obamacare.

During a Wednesday evening appearance on MSNBC, the California congresswoman made the wild claim while referencing what she believes will be the impact on Kentucky.

Chris Hayes asked Waters about how the White House can claim that the bill can cut costs and increase coverage and Waters replied, “Well, that’s just not true.

“Take, for example, the state of Kentucky. Almost one-third of those people in that state are covered by Medicaid, and so they’re talking about eliminating 700 billion,” she said, looking off camera, seemingly seeking confirmation, “in, uh, Trumpcare bill.”

She concluded, “And so that’s no way that they can say that they’ll do more coverage than Obamacare, and so I don’t really know what they’re talking about.”

This moonbat leads the so-called Resistance. She lies like a trooper, doesn’t she? The Congressional Budget Office claims 22 million people — not 700 billion — will lose health care coverage if Obamacare is repealed, CNBC reports. Waters doesn’t know what she’s talking about… nothing new there. And she knows she is dramatically lying. Again, nothing new.

Maxine Waters has said a lot of crazy things over the last few months. The sad part is she has a lot of millennials following her sad ass. I can’t figure out why, except they are desperate and her’s is the loudest screech out there. I sincerely hope they take Ted Cruz’s advice and repeal Obamacare first. The President promoted that idea finally yesterday. If they do, I can’t wait to see Mad Max come unglued. Always a crazy good time with Maxine Waters.

WWE Desperately Needs Competition

Just imaging 1990’s WCW and picture Stunning Steven Austin not having a viable alternative to WCW.

Now imagine 1980’s wrestling and all of the major stars, like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Randy Savage, and Nick Bockwinkle, all in the same company with no alternative, and I didn’t even mention the up-and-coming stars like Jerry Lawler, Magnam TA, Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Lex Luger, Roddy Piper, the Von Erichs,Curt Henning (Mr. Perfect), and Ric Rude.

Many wrestlers, especially in the second list, would’ve gotten lost in the shuffle, and many others would’ve never gotten their careers to the peak that it did.

The 1980’s had WWF; NWA, and their individual territories; and the AWA as the places for wrestlers to go as alternatives to their current situation. If someone like Lex Luger would’ve failed in the AWA, he could’ve went to NWA Mid-Atlantic and thrive.

Now, let’s examine today’s state of wrestling in the United States:

It’s pretty much the WWE, and that’s it.

Sure there’s TNA and ROH, but neither garner close to the amount of money and viewership as the WWE, and is perceived as a step-down if a wrestler, from the WWE, ends up in one of those two promotions.

If Steve Austin failed in today’s WWE, he would’ve likely ended up in one of the independent indie promotions, his career would never skyrocket to superstardom, even if his gimmick had a tremendous change that changed the game in TNA or ROH, he would’ve likely been brought back to the WWE, and got lost in the shuffle.

That’s exactly what’s happening to wrestlers in today’s WWE.

A viable alternative wouldn’t guarantee Cody Rhodes, Sheamus, Cesaro, Wade Barrett, and Alberto Del Rio success, but different writers- with a different vision- could at least have a chance to reinvent themselves.

A viable alternative could also prevent wrestlers from the need to go to Japan to get themselves a following, like a Kenny Omega.

Then let’s examine NXT:

It has a roster consisting of viable names like Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe, Nakamura, and so on.

Just these slew of names alone combined with names like Kurt Angle and Adam Pearce (from ROH) plus the Hardy brothers could potentially be a roster deep enough to jump start a company to compete with the WWE from a talent standpoint. It’s just lacking a star from the WWE to give it credibility, such as a Randy Orton (whom also has had some misuse over the past few years).

The average professional sport (NFL, NBA or MLB) doesn’t have a true competitor, but what it does have is nearly thirty or more teams for players to bounce from, if they’re feeling misused or paid enough, so why can’t wrestlers have that same luxury.

Competition is a great thing. It forces each other to produce better products for their fans to watch. The WWE desperately needs it, due to it’s stale state, as well as individual wrestlers that are getting lost in the shuffle.

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 6th — today from VDH: “Intervention in Syria Is a Very Bad Idea.”

Here’s an excerpt on the Victor Davis Hanson article headlined above:

President Obama’s on-and-off-again planned American attack on Syria is nothing new. Besides its five declared wars, America has a habit of intervening all over the world.

Even apart from clandestine CIA operations, and even after the unhappy end of the Vietnam War, we have attacked lots of countries and non-state militias. The roll call of recent American military interventions is quite astounding: Cambodia, Iran, Libya, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Liberia, Iraq, Haiti, Somalia, the former Yugoslavia, Zaire, and Afghanistan.

Even the notion of past American isolationism is a myth: In the four years between 1912 and 1916 alone, the U.S. sent troops into Cuba, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti. And those busy years of intervention were not novel: Since our nation’s infancy, the U.S. military has been constantly engaged. In another four-year period, between 1812 and 1816, America fought the British, the French, the Spanish, and the North Africans.

The why and the how of moving to 5.4/5.5

Comments are closed.

Very well presented talk about the things to consider when upgrading, rather than only enumerating what is new in the named versions.
I've seen "what's new?" presentations for both 5.4 and 5.5 before, but they weren't as practical as this one!

Your Horror Guide | 2018

Horror had one incredible ride in 2017, with films like SplitGet Outand the remake of IT – all proving that audiences want smart, engaging stories out of the genre. Let’s see what scares 2018 has in store for us. We may even see some familiar faces along the way.

Insidious: The Last Key

January 5

My Review: ‘Insidious: The Last Key’ Delivers The Scares But Not A Worthy Finale

Once again going back in time, the latest entry to the successful franchise follows a younger Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye), whose home is overcome with a demonic spirit.

February 2

The story behind one of America’s most haunted houses, the Winchester Mystery House, is finally coming to the big screen. Starring Helen Mirren as Sarah Winchester, the woman who believed herself to be cursed by the spirits of those killed by her husbands guns. So convinced, she continuously built a maze of a home for nearly 40 years to please the ghosts haunting her.

The Cloverfield Paradox

February 4

My Review: ‘The Cloverfield Paradox’, A Familiar Sci-Fi Adventure

Like the previous Cloverfield films, this one was shrouded in total mystery. Originally poised for an October 2017 premiere, the film was said to take place aboard a space station that finds itself within the Clover-universe. Starring Elizabeth Debicki, David Oyelowo and Chris O’Dowd, the movie ended up dropping its trailer during Super Bowl Sunday, announcing its release on Netflix, instead of theatrically released like the previous two. Netflix then released the film immediately following the game.

Rumors began to swirl in the last couple of weeks that this was going to be streamed on Netflix. Also rumored is that a possible completed 4th film, will also be released as Netflix original later on.

The Strangers: Prey at Night

March 9

The long awaited sequel to 2008’s The Strangers is finally arriving. Martin Henderson, Christina Hendricks, Bailee Madison and Lewis Pullman star as a family who finds themselves lost while taking a road trip. Staying in a trailer park for the night, they come face-to-face with the menacing masked killers from the first film.

A Quiet Place

April 6

Directed by and starring John Krasinski, this mysterious supernatural horror finds a family living in total silence – fearing something might hurt them if they make their presence known. The film also costars Krasinski’s real-life wife Emily Blunt.

The New Mutants

April 13

The X-Men universe dives into the horror genre with this film about five young mutants, held in a secret facility and discovering their powers. Starring Anya Taylor-Joy (Split), Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things) and Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones).

Truth or Dare

April 27

Another Blumhouse Production slated for release in 2018, this film follows a college student who, after a game of Truth or Dare, finds herself plagued with a supernatural presence. Starring Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale and Teen Wolf‘s Tyler Posey.

May 18

The controversial fictional character will be brought to theaters starring Joey King and The Affair‘s Julia Goldani Telles.

June 8

Toni Collette stars in this ultra-creepy looking horror film that had an incredible response at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. She stars as a woman dealing with the recent death of her mother, feeling that a dark presence may have been left behind.

The First Purge

July 4

Originally subtitled “The Island”, this newest installment will continue the story as a prequel to the successful franchise. It will focus on how The Purge came to be and what led to such a horrific event being legalized.

The Nun

July 13

The fifth installment in the successful Conjuring franchise will bring to life the story of that terrifying nun featured in The Conjuring 2, and briefly mentioned in Annabelle: CreationSet in Romania during 1952, a mysterious death of a nun finds Father Burke traveling to Rome to investigate. Taissa Farmiga joins big sister Vera Farmiga (Lorraine Warren) in the series, portraying Sister Irene.

August 24

Starring former Castle star Stana Katic, this film follows a fresh-out-of-rehab cop who takes the night shift at a city morgue. Soon discovering a violent entity has possessed one of the deceased.

The Little Stranger

August 31

Domhnall Gleeson portrays Dr. Faraday, a respected doctor in 1947. When taking care of a patient at Hundreds Hall, he becomes acquainted with the woman’s grown children (Will Poulter and Ruth Wilson). Both convinced they are being haunted by something sinister.

The House with a Clock in its Walls

September 21

Director Eli Roth brings to life this gothic horror novel with stars Cate Blanchett, Jack Black and Kyle MacLachlan. The story tells the tale of witches and warlocks and their dark plan to bring about the end the world.

October 19

Blumhouse Productions is currently working on a reboot of the popular horror franchise, Halloween. The film will take place after the second film from 1981, ignoring the sequels, and remakes, that followed. Fans were happy to hear that Jamie Lee Curtis will return as Laurie Strode to battle Michael Meyers once again.

Screen Shot 2017-09-15 at 1.44.32 PM.png

Patient Zero

Original Release Date: February 17, 2017

Matt Smith stars in this zombie-outbreak film as mankind’s only hope for a cure. After being bitten, he does not change, but can instead communicate with the infected and sets out to find patient zero.

The films release has been rescheduled, although a new date has not yet been announced.

  1. Some of your answers surprised me. You didn’t specify if school was K-12 or college? They may differ? Mark and I both like Ice Cream as your favorite sandwich, and though I don’t eat cereal for breakfast often, you did chose my favorite. Josh, I think these are good questions for reunion because we’re all different as adults than we were as children. We reserve the right to question the author at a future time. You should ask Susan Mosey if she knows the famous Amish ice-breaker questions as some of yours would be useless to them.
    BTW – Mark wants to know when you are going to take over the bear hunt for the next generation to learn?

Never give up!

26 Jul

One of the most important lessons to be learned from George Mueller’s prayer life is how to respond when prayer requests are not quickly answered. For the thousands of Mueller’s prayer requests God answered quickly, there were thousands which He delayed in answering. As one reads through Mueller’s narratives it is striking how often God made George wait for an answer. How did Mueller respond when God delayed? Through prayer. If God is slow in answering prayer, do not give up. Rather, pray more often.

Mueller writes, “One or the other might suppose that all my prayers have been thus promptly answered. No, not all of them. Sometimes I have had to wait weeks, months or years, sometimes many years . . . During the first six weeks of the year 1866 I heard of the conversion of six person for whom I had been praying a long time. For one I had been praying between two and three years. For another between three and four years; for another above seven years, for the fourth above ten years, for the fifth above fifteen years, and for the sixth above twenty years. In one instance my faith has been tried even more than this. In November 1844,I began to pray for the conversion of five individuals. I prayed every day without one single intermission, whether in sick or in health, on the land or on the sea, and whatever the pressure of my engagements may be… two remain unconverted . . . But I hope in God, I pray on, and I look yet for the answer.” (Steer, p.266,267)

On one of Muellers many missionary tours, a man who was greatly discouraged came up to him for counsel. This man had six sons for whom he had been praying many years. His sons, in spite of all his prayers showed no interest in God or their souls. He wanted George to tell him what to do. Mueller simply replied, “Continue to pray for your sons, and expect and answer to your prayers, and you will have to praise God.” (Brooks, p.73)

When Mueller desired to increase the number of orphans from three hundred to one thousand, he began to pray for God’s help in the matter. He kept on praying day after day for eleven years until God answered his prayer.

When Mueller was opening a new home and needed more helpers for the orphan homes he sought the Lord in prayer. Yet when the home was about to open, he did not have enough applicants to fill the position. How did Mueller respond? By thanking God for previous answered prayers, and deciding not to pray just once a day for this
matter, but to pray three times a day for helpers. He did this daily for four months, and was pleased to see God answer his prayers in an incredible way.” (Brooks,p.50)

Mueller sums up his attitude by simply saying, “When once I am persuaded that a thing is right and for the glory of God, I go on praying until the answer comes. George Mueller never gives up.” (Steer, p.310)

Mueller was persistent in prayer for several reasons.

First, he truly believed that God did answer prayer. God’s slowness did not shake Mueller’s faith. Before Mueller opened his first orphan house he prayed daily for fourteen months and three weeks. “Never during all that time had I the least doubt that I should have all that is needed.” (Brooks, p.46)

Many of us have a difficult time continuing in prayer because in our heart of hearts we aren’t sure whether God is really listening to our prayers. We must feed our faith with the promises of God. When we become discouraged we must remind ourselves that Jesus himself tells us, “What man is there among you, when his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone. Or if he shall ask for a fish, he will not give him a snake will he. If you then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him.” (Mat.7:9-11)

Mueller was confident in this promise and because of that he did not doubt the Father’s goodness. “For through grace my mind is so fully assured of the faithfulness of the Lord, that in the midst of the greatest need, I am able to go about my other work. Indeed, if God did not give me this [this confidence in the faithfulness of God] . . . I should scarcely be able to work at all.” (Miller, p.57)

Second, he believed that God had good reasons for being slow to answer certain
prayers. Mueller could actually rejoice when prayers were not immediately answered because of his complete trust in the wise purposes of God. When God did not immediately answer his prayers, George took it as a sign of His love, because by doing so, God was strengthening Mueller’s faith. “Truly it is worth being poor and
greatly tried in faith for the sake of having day by day such precious proofs of the loving interest which our kind Father takes in everything that concerns us. And how should our Father do otherwise. He that has given us the greatest possible proof of His love which He could have done, in giving His own Son, surely will He with Him freely give us all things.” (Brooks, 25,26)

Mueller taught that God would often wait to answer prayer in order to strengthen the believer’s faith. When a believer’s prayer are not answered quickly, rather than trying to take the matter into one’s own hands, they should continually look to God for help and wait upon Him for His deliverance. This does not mean that the Christian should do nothing. Mueller believed that a do-nothing attitude was a “counterfeit of faith.” (Steer, p.331) Instead the believer should persistently cry out to God and act in obedience to the Scriptures.

Third, Mueller kept praying even when he wasn’t seeing ‘results’ because he believed that God delighted in His people’s earnest prayers. The parable of the widow and the unjust judge gave Mueller great encouragement to continually bring His concerns before His gracious God. God wants His people to pray persistently.

Fourthly, Mueller was persistent in prayer because he longed for the glory of God above all else. “His glory was my chief aim . . . i.e that it might be seen that it is not a vain thing to trust in the living God.” (Brooks, p.15) He puts it simply, “The glory of God should always be before the children of God, in what they desire at His hands . . .” (Pierson, p.456) The Christian’s patience under trial can bring glory and honor to God. Mueller wasn’t primarily concerned about Mueller, therefore he was content in all circumstances.

He had the attitude of the apostle Paul who said, “Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in all circumstances.” Why could Paul say this? Because Paul was not living for Paul – Paul’s life was hidden with Christ, and therefore it did not matter what his life circumstances were like so long as God was glorified. One of the primary reasons many of us have difficulties being persistent in prayer is that we pray with selfish motives, “You ask and you do not receive because you ask with the wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.” (James

A person who is primarily motivated by the glory of God will not become overly discouraged when his prayer requests are not immediately answered, instead he will rest in the promise of Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

We must follow Mueller’s example and continue in prayer even when it is most difficult. “Therefore beloved brethren and sisters, go on waiting upon God, go on praying, only be sure you ask for things which are according to the mind of God . . .” (Steer, p.257)Never give up!

08:46 AM - 03/27/2017

The topic: How often are you happy a weekend is over?

I am this morning. It was a very unnerving time here at the cat house.

We were watching the movie "Hacksaw Ridge" Friday night. It had some pretty graphic parts, pretty noisy. I took off the headphones and walked to the other side of the house. DaNiece was just laying there. Odd.

Then she got up and stumbled when she tried to walk. NO!!! Not DaNiece!

My mind started racing. When her brother, Richie was diagnosed with thyroid, the vet said sometimes there are problems with the heart. And that's what killed him. Since then, I watch her often. Watch her breathing. Compare it to the other cats. So far, it's not been noticeable. I think sometime in the past year or so, she lost her hearing. So, like deaf cats do, she has a tendency to get loud.

I picked her up and felt her back paw pads. Warm. I massaged between the toes. She flexed. Okay, my first scare was that she'd thrown a blood clot. Because she still had movement in her legs and my playing with them didn't seem to bother her, I ruled that out.

I figured maybe she'd had a back spasm. For a while now, I'll see her walking and her back end just kind of drops. Then she readjusts and walks as usual. I thought maybe it was just really bothering her. Brian had heard the commotion and came running into the hallway. He carried her back into the tv room and laid back on the loveseat, cuddling her. She wanted down.

I told him to hold her so I could trim her claws. Maybe she was getting caught.

Well, it didn't help. I think she was having mini seizures.

My mind went back over the day's activities. I'd applied Advantage to the cats earlier. The same stuff I've been using for years. I got as much of that off of her as I could. Not that I considered it was the cause, but it's not going to hurt to remove it.

I stayed on the sofa most of the night. She was nervous, spending a lot of time walking from place to place. Laying on the floor. Because she was vocal during the seizures, I wanted to be able to check on her right away. I finally fell asleep around four in the morning. I'd checked for her location and she was in the garage on a runner. Not stretched out, but kind of meatloafed. I figured she'd be okay. I went to bed. Still dressed, I just put a blanket over me.

Saturday, she slept a lot. She ate as usual and things seemed to be back to normal. She slept outside on the big pillow under the kitchen window. Until Saturday evening. Then it started again. She didn't have violent seizures, they lasted less than a minute. I could hold her and comfort her until she relaxed.

She wanted down and I let her. I found her in the laundry room, trying to go out the door. I opened it. I let her out. She walked out, sat for a few minutes, then climbed up onto the big pillow. There was a cloud cover so I wasn't concerned with the temperature. If she was most comfy there, she could stay there. I closed the back door and opened the sliding  door into the living room, enough for her to come in if she wanted.

I checked on her through the night. At 3:30, when she was still asleep on the pillow, I went to bed. Fell asleep.

Yesterday morning, she wasn't on the pillow. She had come inside and was eating. She went into the bedroom and climbed onto the bed. I fed her a jar of baby food. She ate the entire thing, a spoonful at a time. She was a hungry girl. She slept. She ate. She pottied.

We kept checking on her.

Last night, the magic time came. Would she seize again tonight?  Time would tell.

I had left the sliding door open, in case she wanted out. She did. But it was cooler last night. She came back inside and went to bed.

Since I hadn't done much of the paperwork I'd planned on doing this weekend, I started working. It kept my mind busy. I had gotten far enough around nine to quit. She was on the bed. Her activity level had dropped from the previous two nights. She was resting. When we finally went to bed at ten, she was still there. She had a good night, no seizures.

So, I think she'll be okay.

When I saw my first kitty seizure, it was Rusty. I rushed him to the vet, but the vet said there really wasn't much he could do since he hadn't had another. Over the next few months, I did find the trigger for his seizures, it was a staccato sound. So, we proofed the house as much as possible to keep it from happening (a spoon in a plastic glass, the wind blowing the vertical, vinyl blinds, a slipped drill).

There was nothing like that Friday night. Maybe it was the Advantage. Which I will never put on her again, just in case. I just don't know.

I do know that I'll be watching her even more closely now.

DaNiece and her remaining siblings, yesterday morning in bed. Sammy behind the pillow and Opie above her. That's little DaNiece relaxed and stretched out. (Clicking on a picture will take you to a bigger photo in my family album; clicking on that picture will open a larger photo.)

DaNiece on the pillow under the kitchen window yesterday.

I slept last night. Woke up more than I normally do, always looking for her on the bed. And she was there.

Glad to hear she is better…they always worry us when they are not feeling well because they cannot tell us what is wrong…

On Words: Apology

It’s actually one of the hardest parts of being human. Acknowledging the fact that you could be wrong, and that your actions hurt another person. Or that you are right, but you still hurt another person. Ultimately, the question is, what does a descent person do in these situations? The answer is, apologize.

Now what exactly is an apology? Is it an admission that your actions were wrong? Is it an admission that your actions caused another person pain? Is it an admission that you went outside the social contract and did something that was pretty nasty? Is it an admission that you were thoughtless, and uncaring? Is it an acknowledgement that how you made someone else feel is more important than being right?

Maybe yes to all, maybe no. An apology can be simply the result of the fact that you, on your own, reviewed your behavior and found it wanting in some way. It is the mindful way of looking at your life to acknowledge that you are not perfect, and though even if you meant no harm, there was harm involved. That even if you had the right to lash out at another human being, was it really worth it in the end? Was it worth it to you to cause the hurt and the harm? Did you really get your point across, or did you just make yourself out to be an unfeeling, rather self-involved person?

(And yes that is the Late Lubavitcher Rebbe Schneerson. And no I am not religious, and definitely not a chasid, but this thought is a good one.)

An interesting religious point is that under Jewish law, a person is obliged to accept an apology. For the apology is not about you, but about the individual recognizing that they did wrong. It is their reaching out for forgiveness, to fix their soul. In fact, if you are loathe to forgive them, but they try to apologize three times, then you are obligated to accept, as their continued attempts at atonement proves that they are truly sorry. However, without a doubt, you could assume that in some cases that would still be too much of a burden to bear. For all hurts are not equal.

Say if someone belittles you in public, but later comes to regret what they did, and they apologize. Then by all means accept the apology. Of course, it is also Jewish law that under these circumstances, a person who insults another in public has to make their apology public as well. They are to be held up to derision in much the same way that they caused the hurt they created. In other words, the apology must carry the same weight as the insult as far as public admonishment.

But in truth, if you apologize in public then that would also cause the public to think better of the perpetrator, because they acknowledged their own wrong doing. So in some sense, this is a win for both parties. The aggrieved is made to feel better, as their hurt is acknowledged, and the perpetrator, while acknowledging their own wrongdoing, is proving to the public that they are able to uphold the order of society, and that they should not be considered charem, or outside the community.

To prove to those you live amongst that you are able to live a fruitful, productive, and positive life, that you are able to add to the society in which you live, is an important part of the human story. While we never really like to talk about it, there are rights and wrongs for behavior that have nothing to do with law and punishment, but have everything to do with how a society functions for the betterment of all involved. The kinder the people withwhom your sphere, the better lifestyle for all those concerned.

On the other hand, what if someone murdered a loved one? Are you required under law to accept the apology? Here is the interesting Jewish answer: only the one harmed can accept an apology. Hence, technically, you can never be forgiven for murder, because the murdered person cannot speak from the grave. It is an old tradition that yes, family can forgive if they want to. But it is by no means a requirement to accept such apology even if given three times. To murder is the most heinous of crimes, and a crime that is not easily forgiven, if ever. Understand, Christian law on forgiveness is different, as is Islamic law.

Also, it is important to remember that under Jewish law, in order to atone (seek forgiveness, or apologize) for crimes against society then you must accept society’s punishment. God cannot absolve you of wrongdoings to your fellow human being, only the community can absolve you. When you read about Jews fasting on Yom Kippur, hoping for atonement, that is so that they are forgiven for their sins against God. The day has nothing to do with any hurt you have caused toward another person, even if many persons take that opportunity to apologize for any harm caused to another.

The truth of the matter is that to apologize is an important part of being able to think outside yourself. To be able to say that there is something more important than being right is to acknowledge that even if your facts are correct, your mission as a human being is ultimately to make this world a better place, reduce hurt, harm and mean spiritedness. A goal for leading a good life is simply to do what is right, and sometimes that means you need to apologize, even if you are not wrong.

Design Wall Monday – Jan. 12, 2015

DSCN4051  I did actually get the flying geese sections sewn together for the center of the quilt yesterday afternoon so here’s where my Moda Challenge quilt is at the moment.  All the pieces are on the design wall so I just need to start sewing all those blocks in to the long horizontal rows.

Since I sewed a bit longer than planned, I did not get the sewing room tidied up so I could lay out the wedding quilt to get it layered.  That’s on the agenda next before finishing this challenge quilt since I still have a month or two before the challenge has to be done.

Once I quit sewing I did make great progress on my CF Feather Weight KAL sweater.  I should be able to knock out that final sleeve – only about 40 rows of sleeve cap to go.

Poem to my Stepdad

Losing a loved one is never easy

This was my contribution to my stepfather’s obituary…

You took me in your arms from the gentle age of 2
Sugar is what you always asked for, giving the same in return
At 5 you made the promise permanent, “I will always love you”
Crumbs require a lot of attention, we would soon learn

We had our share of ups and downs
My teenage years were rough to say the least
It was a time of many frowns
You never stopped caring, even when I acted like a beast

“Gimme some sugar,” you would say to me
“Okaaaay,” was my reluctant reply
With a kiss on the cheek you were pleased as could be
You’d plant a huge one on mine in the blink of an eye

We may not have always agreed
Or seen eye to eye, but you were there
Whenever I was in need

You were many things to many people
A husband, a father, a brother, a friend
The impact you made is something remarkable
To this little girl, you were simply a my dad

Kimberly a.k.a. “Crumb Cakes”
