Setup Cannot Copy File Error When Installing Windows Xp

The reverse being true for XP. Perhaps it was wrong.

One day just turned it on one last time before I would RMA it and what do you know, it works fine. You may also... I turn the computer on, and press F2 to enter the BIOS Settings. Next I took out my new HDD and put it in another machine, Installed XP with No Problem. http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/installing-windows-xp-cant-copy-certain-files.153348/

i had this problem a few days ago with a number of my computers. Do you have another Windows XP CD you could try? I was a little confused because Memtest86 pretty much just takes off when you start your computer (and, as he states on his website, will run indefinitely).

So I decide to take the hard-drive out of the computer and put it in my computer (totally different computer). If this fails then as mentioned above time for new RAM. The drive itself can be internally dirty on the reading lens. I had to hit esc to continue installing.

I found by taking the cd to another PC in the network(one that could read the cd's)and made a copy of the original MS cd and retried the install it worked Flag Permalink This was helpful (0) Collapse - It could be a bad hard disk also. but right now the install process with windows xp32 works fine but I got recently 8gb additional ram memory installed so I will try later to change the installation to xp64Click Please register or login.

PostHeaderIcon Kelsey Grammer & Damon Wayans Spotted in Portland

CELEB-U-WATCH: Kelsey Grammer and Damon Wayans were spotted having not one, but two meals together at Mother's Bistro in downtown Portland.

According to owner/chef Lisa Schroeder's Facebook page it was the second meal the men shared together at Mother's in as many days.

Damon was in town for an appearance at the Helium Comedy Club, but I doubt that Kelsey was his opening act. Taking a hint from Lisa's post I believe that Kelsey is in town to shoot an episode of The Librarians currently filming in Portland.

Nelson added 5.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists, both in the top 20 of the PacWest conference. Nelson was also named to the CoSIDA Academic All-Region team this season.

Sheikh ranked ninth in the PacWest in scoring at 15.1 points per game and 14th with 3.0 assists per game.

Bruschetta with Herbed Goat Cheese and Sweet Balsamic Syrup

So, what do you think of the new Calamity Kate's Kitchen? I am still in the process of organizing all of the recipes. Through this organization, I have found some wholes in my recipe collection. The main dish, sides, appetizers and breakfast categories are low on recipes compared to the desserts and cupcakes. So while I will still share cupcakes and desserts, I am going to try to add more main dish, appetizer, sides and breakfast recipes. So... on to my favorite appetizer that Dad and I ate for lunch on Wednesday and Aunt Nancy, Uncle Stewart and I ate for dinner the last night of my vacation!

Italian bruschetta (pronounced “brusketta”) is the perfect summer food. It brings together the best of summer tomatoes and fresh and fragrant basil. I love eating bruschetta all year long, but it isn't nearly as delicious as the fresh summer bruschetta.  I have already made bruschetta 3 times since the second week in May!

I have a hard time finding foods that Dad and I will both eat, if you remember my parents and brother are Pescetarian, and don't eat any meat or cheese or butter, my favorite things! So while I have been taking care of my dad since his fall and surgery, we have been eating out most of the time. However, eating out every lunch and dinner gets old fast, so I made dad a lunch that both of us could eat. Dad is not as strict with his diet as mom and josh are, so he ate the herbed goat cheese. It was delicious and we gobbled up all of the bruschetta, except for one piece,  that we saved for mom.

I served the bruschetta with tiny red, gold and purple potatoes roasted with olive oil and rock salt! All said, I would have loved a piece of grilled chicken with my lunch but it was delicious and we could both eat together. According to my dad, you must make the cooked down balsamic syrup... it makes the dish!! Enjoy

Bruschetta with Herbed Goat Cheese and Sweet Balsamic Syrup
a Calamity Kate Original but some recipe help came from Simply Recipes
serve 2-3 for lunch and 4-5 for appetizers

4 on the vine, ripe tomatoes
1 clove garlic, minced fine
2 teaspoons basil, finely chopped
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon of pepper

1 french baguette
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon oil

Herbed Goat Cheese
2-3 tablespoons room temperature goat cheese
1 pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
2 teaspoons fresh basil, finely chopped

In a large mixing bowl, add in 1/2 of the fresh basil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, the minced garlic, and salt and pepper. Chop up the tomatoes, I like more of a peasant style bruchetta, so chop up the tomatoes both fine and chunky and add into the mixing bowl with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Mix the tomato mixture together with salt and pepper to taste and set it aside for 20 minutes. Stir often to allow the flavor to meld.

Preheat oven to 450˚F.
Slice the baguette on a diagonal about 1/2 inch thick slices.
Mix together in a small bowl the olive oil and butter. Coat one side of each slice with olive oil and butter mixture using a pastry brush. Place on a cooking sheet covered in foil or parchment paper, butter/oil side down. You will want to toast them in the top rack in your oven, so you may need to do these in batches depending on the size of your oven. Once the oven has reached 450°F, place a tray of bread slices in the oven on the top rack. Toast for 5-6 minutes, until the bread just begins to turn golden brown.
If you wish to toast the bread in a stove-top, pour the olive oil, butter mixture into a large non-stick frying pan. Keeping the heat at medium (setting 4-6) coat the  with the butter/olive oil mixture on the larger side of each slice of bread. Cook until toasty and golden.

Herbed Goat Cheese
In a small bowl, mix together goat cheese, salt, basil and the optional garlic. Set aside, stirring often.

Using a small thick bottomed sauce pan, pour in the cup of balsamic vinegar. Set the heat to low (settings 1-3) and let it cook down. You want the balsamic vinegar become a thick syrup, so keep  an eye on it making sure it doesn't burn. 5-10 minutes.

Serving Bruschetta

Once the bread has cooled enough to handle, spread the herbed goat cheese onto the buttered side of the bread. Once all of the bread has a nice thick layer of goat cheese, place it on a large platter. Ladle the tomato mixture, with some of the juices onto the bread in a messy but delicious manner. I use a ladle to put the tomatoes on the bread and then pour some of the tomato juice over the bruschetta. Sprinkle on the finely chopped basil and serve.  I pour the balsamic syrup into a small pitcher and pour it over the bruchetta at the table. If you want, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top. Yum!

  1. WOW!!! Your Bruschetta is a hundred times better than mine.

    Goat cheese - YUM!

    Balsamic Vinegar - DOUBLE YUM.

    Butter - TRIPLE YUM.

    You know how to live, eat well, Kate.

    Gourmet Recipe!

    Glad your dad tried it and liked it.

Summer Updates

If I were to give you all of our summer happenings from the beginning you would be here all day or just quit reading after the 10th paragraph so I'll kept it kind of brief. Plus hopefully some of you follow me at my other blog to stay a little more updated.

Basically this summer has been busy and fun from May to now. It seemed like we were gone visiting family and had family visiting all throughout May and June. Then in July we had Sara, Collin and Addie staying with us for 2 weeks. We had a blast having them here by the way!

Some people would say that's got to be crazy and sometimes it is, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I just love my family and all the commotion and have been glad we've got to see everyone at one point or another this summer. Also my best friend from high school came home from her mission at the end of April and moved to Provo so I've got to spend a lot of time with her. I've missed her and Sara SO much!

For updates on the girls; Mia is talking just as much as ever and even though she still has a little sass sometimes she's quite often my sweet, little helper. She LOVES to help me with just about anything I'm doing. I've also started to notice how friendly and not shy she is unlike me. Often times when we go to the park or someplace she'll just go find some kid around her age and start playing with them and by the end everyone around is her friend. She'd always rather be playing off with some little friend then me or Eric.

 Livy is pretty social too but more from a distance or if I'm holding her. She'll give just about anyone a cheesy smile but when they go to lift her up she freaks out. Plus she loves following all Mia and her friends around acting like she's part of the group. Livy is still not walking. She's making small strides to getting there but still highly prefers crawling. I guess I can't complain.

Oh and I can't forget the biggest update which is our new dog. For those of you who know me, you know I never wanted a pet. It was a battle Eric and I were constantly facing since we got married. One day I let it slip out to Eric that even though I still didn't personally want a dog it wouldn't be that bad having one as I always made it out to be. Since every time before that moment I refused to even slightly consider it, this statement seemed to light the spark and low and behold about 2 months later we came home with a 7 week old Beagle. We named her Missy. Even now I wouldn't call myself a dog lover, but having a dog has certainly changed my perspective on pets. Mia loves Missy and it's helped her get outside and active a lot more this summer by herself.

Life has been very good to our little family. We're still loving our neighborhood and our house. It's been fun to see all the pretty flowers blooming around our yard all spring and summer and to watch our garden grow. This year was definitely a learning year for that but it looks like we will get a little food from it.

Happy summer!

Second-gen Moto Z Play, Moto E4 offer improvements for power and enter-level users

Motorola has recently released two new phones to appeal to both power users and entry-level customers: the second-generation Moto Z Play and Moto E4, respectively.

Introduced last year, the original Moto Z Play was released alongside the flagship Moto Z Force last year and served as a half-step back from that top-of-the-line phone. This second-generation phone, while still not as powerful as the Z Force, comes with minor improvements in many areas, providing a premium experience.

Like the original Moto Z Play, the new version features a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED 1080p screen, but, with the dimensions 76.2 mm x 156.2 mm x 5.99 mm and weighing 145 g, it is 0.2 mm smaller in width and length, 1 mm thinner and 20 g lighter than last year’s model. As one would expect, the display is bright and vivid, and video playback is smooth and the sound is clear.

It also runs on the newer, slightly faster 2.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 octa-core CPU, with a 506 Adreno GPU. It comes with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage – which is expandable up to 2 TB with a microSD card. The phone uses a 3,000 mAh battery, promising up to 30 hours of mixed use. (The original phone uses a 3,510 mAh one which may explain why the new phone is thinner.)

Like with most Moto phones, the interface is very clean. Running on Android 7.1.1 (Nougat), the Moto Z Play uses an almost vanilla implementation of the OS, so its not bogged down by the manufacturer’s apps – other than the long-standing Moto Actions, which allows you to do things, such as twist your wrist while holding the phone to activate the camera’s quick capture or chop twice to turn the phone into a flashlight. The phone also uses its own Moto Voice, in addition to Google’s virtual assistant.

The second-generation Moto Z Play also offers improvements with its cameras. It uses larger 1.4-micrometre pixels in its 12-MP dual autofocus main camera and 5-MP front-facing camera. There is also a professional mode with manual control to allows the more photographically inclined to take sharper pictures with a realistic colours. Video also looks quite smooth and the sound is decent – if a little airy at times.

The real appeal of the Moto Z line are the mods. Sold as accessories, you can buy a variety of mods that attach onto the back of the phone with magnets that enhance the phone’s capabilities. Back when the phones first launched last year, Moto released a battery pack, sound speaker, vehicle dock, a camera mod with a 10x optical zoom and a projector that allowed you to display your photos and videos on a wall.

Along with the release of the 2017 Moto Z Play, the Lenovo-owned company announced the JBL SoundBoost 2, a Moto GamePad mod and a Moto Turbopower Pack – a 3,490 mAh battery that offers an extra day of battery life. (A 360-degree camera mod is also now listed on Motorola’s website but I did not get a chance to see that one.)

The 152 mm x 73 mm x 14.5 mm JBL SoundBoost 2 is 1.5 mm thicker than its predecessor but, at 135 g, it weighs 10 g less. It has two 3 W speakers and comes with a kickstand, so you can prop the phone up on your desk to listen to music or watch movies. The sound is on par with most small external stereo speakers. It comes with its own 1,000 mAh battery which offers roughly 10 hours of use before it would draw power from the phone to work.

The Moto GamePad mod basically turns the phone into a hand-held game console. I tested a demo model and, while a little bulky (226 mm x 75.9 mm x 24.4 mm), it worked quite well. It has two toggles and the layout is similar to that of a PlayStation controller – although it has the A,B,X,Y buttons instead of the shapes. In the demo, I played a driving game but I imagine the functionality would differ from game to game.

Both the mods and phones are backwards compatible so any of the mods work with any of the Moto Z phones. But you can only use one mod at a time and, of course, you have to buy them. The JBL SoundBoost 2 and Moto TurboPower Pack are available at Freedom Mobile and Bell stores, while the Moto 360 Camera Mod and Moto GamePad Mod are coming to Canada later this summer.

As for the phone itself, you can buy the second-generation Moto Z Play through Freedom Mobile, Bell, BellMTS and SaskTel. Freedom Mobile offers the best price for the phone without a contract at $680, while you can get it free at any of the providers on certain two-year plans.

On the other hand, if you just want a decent Android phone to update Facebook, watch YouTube and take pictures of your friends after they passed out in the bar, you might prefer to just pick up the Moto E4.

A more economically friendly phone, you can currently buy it from Freedom Mobile for $200 – or for free with a $10-a-month MyTab Boost plan. It’s also available at Walmart and some other retailers.

The Moto E4 has 2 GB of RAM and runs on a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 (MSM8917) processor with a clockspeed of 1.4 Ghz, which is nothing special nowadays but will get the job done.

The 144.7 mm x 72.3 mm x 9.3 mm phone features a 5-inch 720p screen and weighs 150 g. So not full HD but the image quality is fine.

And the interface is basically the same as the Moto Z Play. It also uses Android 7.1.1 and has a scaled-back look so it’s easy to navigate through apps.

As for the cameras, they’re nothing phenomenal. It has a 8 MP main camera and 5 MP front-facing one. They take decent photos, provided there’s good lighting conditions.

Overall, the phone works slightly better than you’d expect a budget phone to work. The big drawback is storage. The Moto E4 only has 16 GB and has no slot for a memory card so you can’t expand it.

But still, at $200, it’s a steal.

Thank You and Birthday Card

I can't believe September is almost over and I haven't posted in 3 weeks. What can I say, it's been busy, busy. I do however have a couple of cards to show you.

This was a thank you card I made for a friend who had placed a Close To My Heart Order. I really like the colors and that I used Liquid Glass on the ribbon to give it that shine.

Birthday Card I made for my dear friend Sherry Nodine.

What Have I Been Up To?

Hello my friends! I know it's been a couple of weeks and it has certainly been a busy couple of weeks. I off today and back on again, but I did want to share what I have managed to squeeze in while I had a little time.

This is a card I made for a good friend of mine that I work with. I used the swing card and gift card die from My Creative Times to create this card. The butterfly die I got for my birthday from The Frantic Stamper.

 I made this birthday card for my Boss, who by the way loves owls.  I used the Artbooking Cricut cartridge for the owl and branch. I used liquid glass on the branch to give it that shine and of course googly eyes. I also used a card edge punch to make that edge on my card. The card base is from a box of premade cards I bought at my recent Scrappies crop.

That's all I have to show for now, I'm still working hard at staying on top of things, but this working thing really gets in the way of my fun work.

Until next time BIG HUGS to you all!

2017 - The Year We NEVER Want to Repeat

As we come to the end of 2017, we are more than eager to shake off the dust from the year and move forward.  2017 was the worst year of our lives and one that we truly NEVER want to repeat.  Our year end updates are usually positive with lots of wonderful things to report, which is the norm for most people's yearly updates.  Who wants to report the bad stuff?  It's always better to report the good.  Just as in social media, we fall into the trap of trying to always report the good times and often put forth an embellished representation of ourselves or our lives.  As I started thinking about our year end report and how to make our nightmare of a year look happy and good, I decided to make it real and share with you the good, the bad, and the ugly.  As horrid as the year was, God remained faithful and good, so we find joy and encouragement in that.

The beginning of 2017 found us earnestly praying for God's leading and direction to take our whole family on a family missions trip for the first time.  It was a huge step of faith for us as it was a huge financial undertaking. There were concerns about the safety there with some unrest that had been going on. Then there were lots of concerns with Josh and his Autism and whether or not he would be able to handle the unknowns of new places, smells, language, routines, foods, and people not to mention the eleven hour flight one way when he had never flown before.  On top of that, puberty hit hard for Josh starting this Spring causing mood destabilization with his Bipolar.

The brightest and happiest part of our year was the time our family was able to spend together serving God in our favorite country in the Middle Eastern area.  We were amazed by the generosity of family and friends and our church who financially and prayerfully supported our family on this trip making it possible for us to go and helped confirm God's will for us to go on this trip.  The fellowship we had with our brothers and sisters in the Lord over there was so wonderful and encouraging to all.  It was so wonderful to introduce our boys to them and see our love for these dear friends be shared by our boys.  When things got difficult the rest of the year, I often found myself going back to the memories made during this trip and praising God for such a wonderful opportunity and for light in the midst of so many sorrows.

Upon our return from that trip in May, things quickly fell apart.  I returned to work only to severely injure my back lifting a patient which led to intense physical therapy and monthly visits with an orthopedic doctor as I worked to strengthen the area around the herniated, bulging, and torn L4-L5 disc. By the end of the month, we had to hospitalize Josh to help get his mood stabilized.

Things continued to be intense with Josh even after he returned home, and by July, we had to re-hospitalize him.  From that point on, his treatment team started encouraging us to consider residential treatment.  Our home health aide services for Josh fell apart forcing us to have to take turns leaving work early to care for Josh after school. No matter how hard we tried to avoid residential, that's where God led us.  Thankfully, He used a few moms and one dad to really encourage us in the decision and give us hope.  The process of getting Josh into a residential program was very difficult and took over a month to complete.  Upon admission at the beginning of November, things fell apart with the facility backing out on their word to allow Josh to use his natural supplements and essential oils which help to keep him as stable as possible.  We had to make the decision to leave Josh there for his safety even if it meant allowing his mood stability to possibly worsen without those natural supports.  We then began looking for a new facility for Josh who would allow for the use of his natural supports to keep his continuity of care that has been supported by his four treating doctors.

In the middle of November, I ended up in the ER with severe abdominal pain and found out I needed to have a large polyp removed from my uterus as soon as possible.  Surgery was scheduled for the next week on Wednesday, November 23.  It was a simple outpatient surgery, and I was discharged that afternoon and given permission by the surgeon to travel to my parents' house that evening for Thanksgiving.

By that evening, I started to feel very strange but couldn't figure out what was wrong.  That led to a very scary next 24+ hours for my family as I was unresponsive following a grand mal seizure.  For more details on that whole event, read my blog post about the ordeal.  After a two day stay in the ICU and three days total in the hospital, I was released in time for us to return home from our Thanksgiving trip to my parents' house.

Upon arrival home, many appointments with specialists were made and more tests were done to check into the state of my health.  In less than a week after our arrival home, Josh was able to be transferred to a new residential treatment facility where he was able to resume the use of his natural supplements and essential oils.

Also in December, I suddenly got taken out of physical therapy and discharged by my orthopedic and listed as "permanently disabled" with lifting/weight restrictions and permanent light duty classification due to my back injury in May.  After consulting with a lawyer, I am working on getting an appointment with a physiatrist to be able to resume physical therapy and work my way up to a higher lifting weight ability which will continue to be covered by workman's comp.

Just this past week, I was cleared by the cardiologist regarding the heart complications I was experiencing since my hospitalization in November.  There was concern about permanent damage to my heart from my dangerously low sodium levels that caused the near-death experience in the first place.  However, the symptoms were not from the damage but instead a complication from the de-conditioning from being so sick in the ICU and the Neurocardiogenic Syncope I have had since college that had been under control until my hospitalization.  The cardiologist believes I will make a full recovery and that it will just take time for me to return to "normal."  My blood tests this past week also showed that everything has returned to normal limits, which occurred much faster than expected, and we are grateful.  The only outstanding concern is related to a new brain lesion found when a CT Scan was done while I was unresponsive.  I have followed up with my neurologist about it who wants more MRIs done, but we are not in a hurry to follow up on those tests for now.

Meanwhile, during these crazy months, there's Tim and David, who are just trying to survive and cope with all of the drama.  Tim has has his own various battles to fight including trying to keep up with his work at the office especially when needing to miss work due to Josh's or my needs.  Despite a difficult and interrupted work schedule, he had his best year yet in growing his business.  We are grateful for God's goodness in that!  Tim has also had to juggle for this past month his own daily responsibilities while picking up many of my own responsibilities since I have been too weak to do much and have spent a lot of my time resting on the couch or in bed.  We have been grateful for our church family and other friends who have helped us greatly in providing meals during this difficult time.

We have thanked the Lord so many times for David this year.  His early years struggling with failure to thrive, his immune disorder, and subsequent illnesses and antibody transfusions have helped make him the resilient eleven year old kid that he is today not to mention the hardships of being a brother to someone with Autism and other mental health struggles.  David took each thing in stride with very little complaints, yet we know how much he is struggling inside and how he fights to bottle it up.  Seeing him struggle with depression and anxiety symptoms was difficult, and we increased our efforts to help him work through his struggles.  On top of that, he began middle school this year as a sixth grader and experienced insane amounts of school work that even overwhelmed me as his mother.  He has had to struggle through a hard school year this Fall while dealing with so much drama in his household, and he remains resilient!  We see evidence of his faith growing.  Struggles aside, we have also seen David continue to blossom in his Taekwondo abilities, and David moved up into a full sized violin.  Being faithful to our promise, we purchased him his very own full sized violin, and we all enjoy listening to him play.  David had the privilege of playing very last minute (less than a week before the concert) in his school band in the Spring and also performed a violin solo during the concert.  In December, he had the privilege of playing his violin in the Concert Band (made up of 8th-12th grade instrumentalists from his school and another local Christian school) even though he is not in Band at school.  He was given a little more notice this time but still had one month less to prepare than the rest of the students and didn't have the twice weekly rehearsals like they had.  We love seeing David shine and use his abilities from God to bless others.

Josh is now thirteen years old, and he is doing well at the new residential treatment facility and has been there now for almost one month.  We are seeing signs of God at work in his heart and his life.  He is thriving in the highly structured environment that the facility provides and is enjoying being able to be back at his special school he had to leave when he got transferred to the first residential treatment center.  We pray that this time away will be a growing experience for him and will help him to be more stable and able to function at home and in the community to help him thrive.  He remains an animal-lover, and his cat and guinea pigs continue to be one of his greatest loves.  We look forward to when we can have him living at home with us again hopefully sometime in 2018.

My back injury has made me rethink my line of work and my future as a nurse.  I have began to look once again at options for becoming a midwife and have increased the number of clients I have as a doula.  I don't know what God has for me, but I am seeking His will and walking through the open doors He provides.  I am also trying to figure out how to increase my business of wellness coaching and essential oil education to be able to better serve my clients and grow my client base to help people live more natural and healthy lives.

Tim will be taking on more responsibilities at his office this coming year as his dad starts to turn over parts of the company to Tim.  He is excited about the increased responsibilities and the challenges to grow himself and his company that they present.

As I close, I don't want to leave you thinking that 2017 was all doom and gloom for the Russell family.  As difficult and trying as it was, God has wondrously carried us through.  He never failed us.  While we don't understand what He is trying to accomplish in the many things He has ordained for us to go through, we know that He is working all of these things out for our good and His glory.  His sovereignty over our lives is a comfort to us, and the circumstances has helped us to grow our faith and dependence on Him.  I leave with you Scriptures about God's sovereignty over our lives.  May they be a comfort to you as they have been to us, and may you see God's good work in your life as you enter 2018.

1 Chronicles 29:11-12 (NIV)  "Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all."

Job 42:2 (NIV)  "I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted."

Psalm 135:6 (NIV) "The Lord does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths."

Psalm 18:30 (ESV) "This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him."
We enjoyed the time we were able to have as a whole family this Christmas Eve when Josh was allowed to come with us to celebrate Christmas with the Russell side of the family for a few hours.

Sharing in the Sufferings of Christ at Christmas

Sufferings of Christ at Christmas? Yes, you read that right!  We all get caught up in the joy of Christmas, that most of us--me included--don't tend to think about the suffering and sorrow that occurred on that first Christmas.  This Christmas is a different story for our family, and while the sorrow and suffering has been difficult, it has provided a whole new and refreshing perspective on Christmas for us.

If you have ever lost a loved one and had to go through Christmas without that special someone or struggled with a significant physical ailment or care for a family member with special needs, you too may be able to relate with the sufferings of Christ during Christmas as well.  If you don't fall into any of those categories, it would be healthy for you to contemplate some of these thoughts I'd like to share with you.

Let's set aside the excitement and joy that comes naturally at the thought of Christ's birth because a Savior was born to us giving us the hope of eternal life.  Instead, let's think about what God Himself experienced that first Christmas!  Think about it:  Jesus--God in flesh--gave up the comforts of heaven, the presence and fellowship with His triune Godhead to  physically dwell with humanity on this earth.  He left His exalted throne in heaven to lie in a lowly feeding trough.  His first breath on earth brought him the smells of animals and hay.  He knowingly laid aside the right to be worshipped as God to be rejected by the people He created and came to save.  He came to this earth knowing He had to suffer and die because He was the only rescuer of our souls.  Leaving heaven, a place where there are no tears, pain, or disease, He came to this earth to experience sorrow, heartbreak, physical and emotional pain, and sicknesses just like any other human being.  God the Father sacrified His own Son, and that sacrifice began that first Christmas.  There had to be heartache and sorrow for Mary as she held her precious baby in her arms knowing the prophecies of the prophets and what Gabriel told her.  Instead of the joy of your precious baby, there was a shadow of the suffering her baby would experience on her behalf. Eight days after giving birth to her baby, she was reminded of that with the prediction of Simeon in the temple.  Are you starting to get the picture?

Paul in Philippians 3:10 says, "I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings..." We are getting a new perspective in the fellowship of his sufferings this year.

Our family knows suffering, and this year has been full of it -- more on that in my next blog post.  If you heard about our significant trial over Thanksgiving, you know that suffering has been very recent and that it continues as I continue to undergo tests and see specialists as we try to figure out how to get me back to health.  Having missed Thanksgiving, I wanted Christmas, which is also my favorite holiday of the year, to be extra special.  However, no matter how much I prayed and tried to feel better and made plans for Christmas, all of our usual traditions and special family times were missed or fell short of usual expectations because some days, I could barely get off the couch or out of bed.  As I type this, I am viewing our 1/3 of the way decorated Christmas tree that I so desperately wanted to see finished, and it's Christmas Eve!  Christmas shopping? -- still not finished.  We got the essentials done for our Christmas get together with Tim's family today at least.  I finished that on Friday, and we got the remaining few gifts for our sons in the mail yesterday.
Our 1/3 decorated Christmas tree

Christmas day is a special time to be together as a family, and here, as we prepare for tomorrow, we have our oldest living at a residential treatment facility due to issues with puberty conflicting with his Autism and Bipolar, and our youngest is spending the night at his grandparents' house so that Tim and I can go up and visit with our oldest for two hours on Christmas.  We are grateful that he was allowed to join us for the Russell Christmas get together for eight hours today! That was a blessing!  Christmas is not feeling like Christmas.  I don't even get to enjoy participating in all of the usual festivities because being up and around causes shortness of breath and chest pain and fatigue.  Joy and excitement and motivation to celebrate? - that's a bit lacking this year!
Our only family picture from today

We have been reading through Paul Tripp's Advent devotional called Come Let Us Adore Him that a sweet friend gifted to us. It has been a blessing and encouragement to us in more ways than one. Paul Tripp brings out the sorrow and suffering of that first Christmas which really resonated with me and encouraged me that I can still experience Christmas and even experience it in a deeper way than I ever have before. Paul says, "The Christmas story reminds us that hopelessness is the only door to true and eternal hope...It's true that hope isn't a thing; it's a person, and his name is Immanuel. Celebrate hope this Christmas" (Tripp, p. 93).

I heard someone say just tonight that you can't experience true joy until you've experienced true suffering.  That is so true.  Despite our current suffering, we do have joy that this is all temporary and that we have a sure hope of eternity with God all because Christ was willing to come to this earth to suffer as a baby and grow up only to die for our sins.  Because of His suffering that started that first Christmas, we can look forward to no more suffering for all of eternity.  His suffering brought us hope!  As we suffer, we cling to that hope, and joy bubbles up as a result.  Because of His birth, God can turn our mourning into dancing lights; He can wipe away our tears; He can be our God of all comfort; and we can enjoy His peace that surpasses all understanding.

This Christmas, we find comfort in our sorrow, we are knowing Christ in a deeper way in His sufferings, and we still can celebrate the hope of what His birth means to us. It may not be a "Merry Christmas," but it remains a HOPE-filled Christmas!

We wish each of you a Blessed and Hope-filled Christmas!

Coming Back from the Brink of Death

On Wednesday, November 22, 2017, I had to have an urgent, simple, outpatient surgery.  I was discharged that afternoon and cleared by the surgeon to travel up to my parents' house as originally planned for our Thanksgiving holiday.  Little did I know that our holiday plans would drastically change within a matter of hours.  As we began our 2.5 hour journey by car, I was in pain and nauseated--something my doctor said would be a possibility and had instructed me to take Toradol for pain and Zofran for nausea.  Because I wanted to make the car ride as comfortable as possible and given my current symptoms, I chose to take 1 Toradol and 1 Zofran.  Instead of getting better as the journey continued, I got worse.  By the time I arrived to my parents' house, I was feeling terrible.  It was all I could do to sit on the couch and be still.  As the night wore on, I began to feel like my head was in a fog.  I knew something was wrong but didn't have enough cognition left to figure it out.  Twice, I asked my husband what was wrong with me which befuddled him, and he just reminded me I was tired from having surgery that day.  Shortly after that, I lost all conscious awareness and memory.  My husband claims I mumbled responses to a few more of his questions to communicate basic needs, but I have no recollection of any of these discussions.

Tim carried me downstairs to our awaiting bedroom and put me to bed.  At 1 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 23, I screamed a "bone-chilling, blood-curdling cry" that will forever be etched into Tim's memory and made him jump out of bed and turn on the light.  He found me in a full Grand mal seizure.  Tim managed to lower me to the floor to prevent me from falling out of bed and put me on my side as I foamed at the mouth with blood running out the side of my mouth thanks to my biting my tongue.  The seizure lasted about 90 seconds according to Tim.  Because I am the one who makes the medical decisions in the house, Tim decided to wait for me to wake up to ask me what we should do.  I never woke up.  By 3:00 a.m., I had vomited all over myself.  After the second vomiting episode, Tim was really starting to get concerned, but was too afraid to leave me to go up 2 floors to awake the rest of the household.  Just before 6, David awoke, and sensing something wasn't right went downstairs to find Tim and me.  Tim hurried David to wake up my parents to let them know we needed to go to the hospital.  That started a flurry of activity as preparations were made for my dad to drive Tim and me to the hospital 20 minutes away in Scranton.  After another vomiting episode in the car, we arrived at the hospital where the real urgency quickly became evident to all.

I was whisked off to Trauma 1 and pounced on by many specialists.  I was unconscious and unresponsive.  However, I had a lot of meaningless movements that showed agitation and inhibited medical care making medical intervention difficult.  I was injected with Versed, a sedative, to assist the staff in getting blood drawn and an IV line in.  I was given a rating of a 7 in the Glasgow Coma Scale which falls in the severe brain damage category.  My pupils were not dilating or responding, I had no signs of cognition, and I had severely abnormal flexion of extremities to give you a small glimpse of how bad it looked.

Due to my depressed mental status and agitation, the decision was made to intubate me and put me on a ventilator.  I was also further sedated in order for a CT scan of my brain to be done to check for a brain bleed (thankfully, the CT scan showed no brain bleed).  My preliminary blood tests came back with the most alarming result showing my Sodium level to be 121 which is dangerously low!  My EKG also showed some issues going on with my heart which isn't a surprise with low sodium, and I was placed on a heart monitor.  At that point, the doctors were thinking it was too late and that I wasn't going to make it, but they made every effort to get me as stable as possible.  The parish nurse was called in to say a final prayer over me.  The doctors began to treat some other electrolytes out of whack and get me hydrated.  Tim said at one point, I had 4 usable IV sites in my arms and had 3 IV sites being used at the same time to get meds and IV solutions into me.  I also had an Nasogastric tube (NGT) down which they were using to get electrolyte tablets into my stomach.  Once I was stable, they transferred me to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit).
My ventilator

I had a foley catheter inserted into my bladder to keep my bladder draining, and thankfully, the thermometer gage on it alerted the staff to a quickly elevating body temperature.  They discovered I had aspiration pneumonia from aspirating on my vomit, so they quickly responded with IV antibiotics.  Tylenol was given via NGT and a fan was brought in to get my temperature down.

As the hours went by, and I remained alive, and my sodium levels started to increase, the thinking turned to maybe I will survive, but will I be permanently brain damaged or will I ever wake up or will I remain in this vegetative state?  I also continued to be very agitated and was allegedly pretty persistent in trying to pull out all of the many tubes and wires going into me.  While I was intubated and breathing on a ventilator, I had to be restrained in order to keep me from pulling the breathing tube out.  Tim claims that didn't stop me from trying to slide my body down so that I could try to reach the tube with my tied up hands anyway.  Who knew I could be such a fighter when unresponsive??? As the day wore on, I passed a spontaneous breathing trial and was maintaining proper oxygen levels, so I was weaned from the vent and extubated and placed on an oxygen mask.

Breathing on my own but with an oxygen mask

In the evening, my parents brought David to see me.  He sweetly sat by my bed and held my limp, unresponsive hand while I continued to lie there with oxygen going in via nasal cannula by that point.  As the sun went down, I got more and more agitated, so David couldn't stay at my side any longer.  He was such a trooper through the whole, scary ordeal.  [He won't talk about how he is feeling after going through all of that which concerns us.  We pray he will open up when he is ready.]
Overnight Thursday into Friday, I was taken off of oxygen completely
Note: David wanted to help calm me down while he was with me and did my hair.  Do you like my hair dew?
Holding steady

I finally had to be sedated again to keep me calm, and Tim entered another sleepless night waiting at my bedside praying that I would wake up.  Sometime early Friday morning, I woke up for the first time.  I was very groggy and pretty confused.  I was shocked to learn that I was in the hospital then succumbed to sleep once more.  Later that morning, I woke up again to relearn I was in the hospital, discover that I was in a hospital in Scranton (for a while, I couldn't figure out how I had even got up there since I didn't remember the drive up to my parents' house Wednesday night at first), and then I felt panicked when I learned I was in the ICU!  I was also disheartened to learn that I had completely missed Thanksgiving!  It took a few more periods of sleep and being awake before I learned the whole story of how I got there.
Sleeping peacefully after having become responsive once again

By the afternoon, I was allowed to get out of bed for the first time.  It set off the heart alarm making staff come running, but it felt so good to get up.  A physical therapist and occupational therapist later came by to help me walk a little bit for the first time.  I learned a new meaning of baby steps!  I had a visit from one of my aunts and then my parents and sister and David.  I am sure David was so happy to see me awake, and it was so good to give him a hug and truly hold his hand.

My second walk was with my handsome date as my escort

I was so much better come late that evening, the doctor decided to move me from the ICU to the main floor.  Ironically, I ended up being moved to their pediatric unit.  It was very weird for me, a pediatric nurse, to be a patient in a pediatric unit!  I continued to set off the heart alarm each time I got up, but at least then, only one person came running.

Enjoying our visit with David

On Saturday, I was feeling stronger and enjoyed a visit from David, my parents, sister, and brother.  We were then given the good news that I could go home that evening if my last blood test results came back fine and after I had a brain MRI to follow up on the findings of the CT Scan.  [Back in 2011, I was diagnosed with a brain lesion.  Cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, and a parasite were all ruled out, but the four neurologists I did see couldn't figure out what it was.  The decision was made to repeat the MRI yearly and follow up with the neurologist I chose to be my treating neurologist.  After two subsequent yearly MRIs showed no changes, the decision was made to repeat the MRI every few years.  My last MRI was in 2013.  The CT scan revealed another lesion and changes to the previous lesion, and the MRI in the hospital that day ended up showing definitive changes.  I follow up with my neurologist this coming Wednesday to find out her thoughts on the changes and to discuss any long term damage to my brain that may have occurred from the dangerously low sodium levels.]

At 9:30 on Saturday evening, I was discharged following the completion of the MRI.  I arrived back at my parents' house by 10:00 to get settled into bed for the night.  The next morning, we woke up, packed up the car, and left to head back home swinging by the Lancaster area to pick up Josh for a home visit from his residential center he had been at for the month.  Once we were home, I got settled on the couch so I could enjoy seeing my family together and be able to interact with them as I was able.  It was a happy day despite the fact that I was tired and weak.
Settled at home and happy to spend time with Josh

So many people have asked what happened since all of this had been so sudden and unexpected, so I thought blogging about it would be helpful to give a thorough recounting and perhaps save me or Tim from having to rehash it several times a day.  There is still so much more to the continuing story, but perhaps that will be for more blog posts to come.  We are very much still trying to process all that has happened and figure out what God is trying to teach us.  We remain confident that God will work all of this out for our good and His glory and are praising Him for the miracles He worked in my life the two days when I walked on the brink of death unknown to me in my unresponsive state.  One other thing we are confident of is that God's not finished with me on earth yet!  I still have work to do!

Gully cams -- a self portrait

Leaving with high hope, an unintentional self portrait.

Self portraits are inevitable when your controller's dip switches are set to shoot around the clock.

(It doesn't happen when the camera is set to take night photos -- unless you work at night.)

So, unless you sneak away or creep up to your camera trap there's a good chance it will take your picture.

I regard my own self portraits as collateral damage and usually delete them, but this one of Craig retreating from set 301 almost has painterly qualities.

As he walked away the camera took a sequence of 14 pictures, and this one just stood out.

One Missed Call

Ok, so I want to make an original horror movie. Here is my idea: there is group of kids and a certain song plays on their Ipod's right before they die (I'm thinking "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey). Wouldn't that be great? The answer is no, it would suck. As R. Lee Ermy would say, "(the movie) could suck a golf ball through a garden hose". And do you know why? It's not because I think it's slightly ridiculous that ghosts would chose to haunt electronic equipment. It's not because I think a very loose story line being held together by something you can buy at Circuit City is a miserable basis for a movie. It is because it's been done. Now I am not usually one to advocate The Ring, which I felt to be good on suspense but lacking in character development and a solidly conceptual story line, but it was a decent movie. However, I now condemn it for giving uncreative copy-cats a reason to exist.

These people have gone ahead and made One Missed Call. It has a fairly simple plot. College students get phone calls from their dead friends in which they hear their own deaths. I know…creative isn't it?

But I couldn't bring myself to write it off just yet, so I got my popcorn, found a chair in the movie theatre, and sat back to enjoy. I did however manage to write it off after 5 minutes. This supposed thriller couldn't scare a child. I've been more terrified by lint.

The movie starts off with the death of a random teenage girl, so I knew it was going to be interesting. She was talking on her cell phone about seeing hallucinations. She thought she saw something in the pool so naturally, as opposed to glancing over at it, she walked over, knelt down right next to the water, and was dragged in by a mysterious hand. After a couple of seconds a red hard candy floated to the top and her phone dials one of her friends by itself.

The friend is at a party when she gets the call. It is a voice mail which plays a strange ring tone which isn't hers. Of course, when my phone makes a strange sound, I immediately think "haunted cell phone." The message is dated three days from then and she hears her voice as she dies. Naturally three days from then she finds herself all alone on a high platform over train tracks, she starts to see dead people and then a figure walks up behind her and shoves her off the high platform and she dies as the friend she was on the phone with is running to her. As her friend, Beth (Shannyn Sossamon), stands looking at her dead body, she notices her phone is dialing another friend.

Well, Beth goes to the police, who think she's crazy. All but one that is, Jack (Edward Burns), who's sister died in much the same way, with the same red candy coming out of her mouth as the past two girls who we actually watched die. They put two and two together and figure out that his sister and her friend worked together and they figure they must find the source of the phone call chain to end it.

Meanwhile her friends and brother continue to die, all of them get calls from the previous one and all see the same dead people, bugs, and hooded figure before they die. One of them even goes so far as to be on a TV show where a priest exercises her cell phone but she still dies.

The cop and Beth eventually trace the phone calls back to a woman who's daughter was being kept in a hospital which burned down. Her other daughter had died of asthma and when the hospital burned down her mothers body disappeared. The super-sleuths, one of which, Beth, is a psychology student and determines that the mother of these girls had a mental disorder (Munchausen Syndrome) where the mother would hurt her children to get attention.

Unfortunately, the clock starts ticking when Beth gets the fatal voice mail, and they only have one day left to figure it out. They track down the living daughter, who hasn't spoken since her mother died, and try to talk to her, but she wont speak, so naturally they head straight to the source, and go to the burned hospital. Beth starts to get attacked by the visions of dead people and tries to escape by crawling into a vent where she finds the burned corpse of the dead mother with a phone in her hand. A phone which is still on. She breaks it and feels better, but the clock on her death is down to a few minutes. She starts to feel better but then the corpse comes to life and tackles her in the vent. She is afraid she is about to die, but she survives the time of death which we see go by on the phone, then the corpse falls over.

Upon further review, they figure out that the corpse was trying to protect her, but from what? They go back to the little girl and check her teddy bear which she always holds on to (and the source of the strange sound everyone hears on the voice mail) and finds a baby camera. It has a video on it of her sister hurting her, giving her candy, and their mom catching her and locking her in the room. She has an asthma attack and dies trying to call her mom on her cell phone, hence the ambiguous theme.

Beth and Jack go back to her house and are just hanging out when there is a knock on the door. Jack goes and looks through the peep-hole and is stabbed in the eye and dies. The door shoots open and the hooded figure tries to kill Beth. But her mom pops out from behind her and chokes her until she disappears, then the movie ends.

There is also another sub-plot of Beth's mom abusing her and her dad killing himself, but it doesn't matter at all and it is just added to the movie for the sake of having a sub-plot. Other than that all of the major characters, save two, are killed off or disappear, so there isn't any real character development. The movie just ends up being a poorly scripted, unoriginal, and hollow horror movie which would have been better off simply not being made.

What Every Freshman Girl Needs To Know

Freshman year in college. The time of finding yourself, mistakes, trial and error, getting lit, and more. Most importantly, this will probably be the best year of your college career because you’re so young and get to be the fresh girl on campus finding your way in this new step of life.

Using all the hashtags on Twitter and getting your Instagram followers up from those in your class is your biggest concern of the summer next to making friends, wondering how you’re going to decorate your room, and trying to convince your parents you need a wardrobe makeover because you don’t want to “look” like a freshman.

When actuality, those are the least of your worries coming into your first year in college, but no need to freak out because this is what every freshman girl needs to know before stepping on the yard!

From an upcoming senior to the incoming freshman, I’m here to guide you so you’re one step ahead of the game.

BET Awards nicki minaj flirting flirt blow kiss

Don’t over pack.

Your dorm room is going to be a lot smaller than your room at home and you’re going to more than likely have to share a space. You don’t want your room to be cluttered plus you want to be nice to your roommate and take up all the space but make yourself comfortable because this is your new home.

Don’t let your parents influence your major.

Major in something that you would love to do and you’ll want to do for the rest of your life. Sometimes your parents want to live through you and want you to chase money but remember, this is your life to live and you’ll have to wake up and go to work at your job, not them.

3656911Pay attention to orientation.

You need all the information that the orientation leaders are feeding you so take it all in and jot down notes if you have to.  They are there to prepare you for a successful first year so make sure you pay attention.

regina-george-mean-girlsAvoid the “Freshman 15”.

Honestly, it’s hard to not gain weight during your first year because you have to eat straight off of your meal plan but try to make healthier choices.  Eat light lunches and save the heavy eating for dinner, stay away from sweets and overeating, and try to workout a couple days a week.

635979785840880051-1815048023_tvd-college-gif-1439331558Join organizations.

Joining clubs in high school may seem lame, but in college, this is a different ball game. Joining organizations gives you a chance to meet new people and get some insight on things you’re interested in. Whether it’s related to your major or just a hobby, be a part of something because it’s a great feeling!

Remember you came to college to earn a degree. Make sure you go to class, study, attend seminars, and everything else you need to succeed. All of these new experiences can be overwhelming so don’t forget to “begin with the ending in mind” and keep your goals and education as your first priority.

Since mommy and daddy can’t save you in a heartbeat anymore, you have to learn to take care of yourself. Be sure to choose your friends wisely and make sure you’re always on your P’s and Q’s when it comes to going out. Go with your gut instincts when comes to going out to parties or being in unfamiliar places.

In college, you’re going to be poor. If you’re good at slaying edges, doing nails, photography, or even DIY projects, make that known. People in your dorm and even upperclassmen are always looking for people on campus to help them rather than outsourcing. Advertise your talents and make money!

Now that you’re entering college,  this is the first step into “adulting”. Instead of shopping for tons of new shorts and crop tops to party in, buy some pencil skirts, button down shirts, and flats for business attire. One way to spot freshmen from other classes is by the choice of dress to class.  Leave the clubwear and party clothes for after class hours and just dress like you’re ready to be in front of adults and learn. You can still keep your style, but don’t dress too revealing, some professors will send you home.

Finding love in college is possible, but it’s not as easy as it seems.  If you thought high school guys all played games and were messy, well welcome to that on steroids. Guys are going to be coming after you simply because you’re a freshman. Use your woman intuition to figure out if it’s real or not, be smart.

Of course, the list can go on and on but these are just some that you may not have known, and the rest you will learn along the way. Good luck in your freshman year of college! These will be the best years of your life so have as many experiences as you can but be safe and remember the advice we’ve given you.

Keeping It Simple (Silly) | Charlotte, NC Artistic Portrait Photographers

I finally got the opportunity to do a photo shoot with Tracey K, here after many failed attempts due to colds, work, exhaustion and the like – on both our parts.

My opinion? It was well worth the wait.

We had a great time, lots of laughter and the result was a great bunch of artistic beauty shots, close-ups of Tracey’s big brown eyes and face and a few candid laughter-filled moments caught on digital ‘film’. Here are just a few.

Technical info: This photo shoot was done outside in my yard as the sun was setting. No artificial light used – except for my porch light for a couple of the shadowed close-ups of her face… All natural lighting and nothing but a simple Nikon D40. Post-processed through Lightroom/Photoshop
Location: Charlotte, NC
