Spring Renewal Part 1: The Detox Begins

Bite JuiceSo I had a grand idea. A juice detox! We had a turrible (just turrible!) winter here in Chicago, I wanted to break out of hibernation and into a Spring Awakening! I also need to focus to propel my personal goals forward, I’m interested in taking my nutrition to the next level…so-why not? I started yesterday-a Sunday. I thought it would be not too tough, serene even. I wanted to incorporate specially selected strengthening and renewing yoga poses for the full experience. I mean, I knew I would be working off of fewer calories so I didn’t want to overdo it.

I woke up with the best intentions-I really did. I started with my Groupon purchased green juice from Peeled, a juice bar here in Chicago. It has kale, spinach cucumber and other goodies that I enjoy in solid form.  Now, I was pleased because I hate pulp and these are pulp free. The taste of the green juice or Green Lantern was alright. Just more salad-y that I am used to at 8 am. I wanted to do some yoga and meditation but my son woke up, so there went that opportunity.

I did however, have an opportunity to set an intention for the day. It was ” Focus on the blessings of the day, remain in the present.” And I did remain in the present.  My mind wandered throughout the day..thinking about..potato chips, barbecue and the like.  Stuff that I haven’t been craving at all before today, now became the object of my desire, presently but it dissipated.  Did I always think about food like this? Did I always mindlessly run and get a snack (healthy or not)? Hmmm..

Before I left out for the day, I journaled 3 things that I am grateful for and my feelings after my first drink. My feelings were journaled in one word. “Apprehensive.” but I noted that I was looking forward to mental clarity.

I went through my day, drank a lemonade concoction, a red drink called “Maroon 5” and another Green Lantern and finished up with the last two drinks of the day “Maroon 5” and Cashew Milk (I liked it because it is sweet!).  I’m not going to lie. I had moments that my skin was tingling and I felt energized. Then I had a few headaches-not sure if it was from the detox or dealing with my son throwing up his breakfast right after church (he’s fine by the way!) I did try to prep for the detox by eating a vegetarian diet and drinking as much water as possible.

Side note: I would also like to note that while my son was throwing up, a woman came by out of nowhere (we left church early (don’t judge me) so no one was outside yet) saw him throwing up and offered baby wipes, tissue and minty gum (brand new pack) to help his stomach!  I was so grateful to her in that moment. So, I did have a little reminder of how to be grateful in the present.

I will say that so far, this detox has me thinking a little differently about food and how I actually think about it. So that’s cool. Did I achieve the mental clarity right out the gate? Kale nawl. But I have two more wonderful days of juicing to go and I am no longer apprehensive but proud that I made it through the first day. Stay tuned for Day 2.

Fitness Adventures: 6 Reasons Why Pole Fitness Is Awesome

Pole Fitness

I am a part of a wonderful Facebook group called The Fit Girlz Clique. If you don’t know about it, go  to Facebook and getchu some! It is a wonderful community of women who encourage and motivate either through pictures, words or both.  The page always has great challenges and fitness events that are always changing and seem fun.  For my first event with this group, I decided to join a Pole Fitness class.  It was held at 8 am on a Saturday at Good Gyrrl Studios in the Bridgeport Arts Center on the South Side of Chicago.  The instructor, Coach Robin of Alpha To Omega Wholistic Therapeutic Services is fantastic and I want to tell you why this pole fitness class was awesome.

1. This class was located in the Bridgeport Arts Center which is a huge warehouse/loft style building on the South Side of Chicago near US Cellular Field/The Cell/Comiskey Park. It mostly houses artist lofts, but also hosts another gym and a poetry lounge to name a few.  The outside has a really nice courtyard area with a mosaic lined walkway and a big silver horse which goes along with the courtyard. I’m not gonna lie, me and a few others got a little turned around finding the actual studio but when we got there, we found the Good Gyrrl Studio to be cute, not too girly and sensually decorated with leopard print, velvet covered seats and four poles in the middle of the room for the pole fitness class.  I also saw some hula hoops and weights so I am sure that other interesting courses are taught there and since a few of us (yes, me too) forgot our mats, there were several mats available for our use.

2. Some of us were a little late, but once we got there, we found Coach Robin ready to go. She got us warmed up, was detailed and informative in her instruction and made the workout accessible for everyone. On another note, girlfriend has some serious pole skills. I was in awe and quite impressed. i learned quite a bit in that one class, such as the use of a product called “tack” that you can rub on your hands and in my case, on my inner thighs to keep from slipping on the pole.

3. I love a challenge which is why I chose this class.  The challenge of pole fitness is first a test of your body weight strength. We worked our core, upper body, inner thighs..outer thighs..every.thing. No weights, only using the pole for support. We learned a few basic spins, one was called The Cradle, as well as how to a Handstand. This workout was fun and no joke!

4. The ladies that participated in this class were wonderful, open minded and even though I had never met any of them before, were some of the friendliest women I have ever met.  We all had varying levels of fitness ability, but we all were there to exercise and experience something new.  Because of the different things taught in this class, some people found some new found ability, others found flexibility and we all caught a little sexy cuz, well, frankly we all were to begin with.

5. I loved the music!  I am a huge Prince friend and one of the warmup songs was “Sexy Dancer”. From the first few bars of that song, I was all in for the rest of the class.  We also took a musical interlude break when Sugar Hill Gangs Apache (Jump On It) came on.  If you know that song, you know the dance that Will and Carlton from the “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” did. Yes we did it. And it was glorious.

6. The pole is your friend.  If you take a class like this, you must remember that. It is there to support you and help you do fun, amazing spins that you did not think you could do. And don’t think that because you are not your ideal weight that this is out of reach for you.  If you want to do it, go for it.  You might find something that you didn’t know was there.

There you have it. Despite some light inner thigh chafing and some soreness the next day, I am totally and completely in love with Pole Fitness and will enthusiastically do this again.

Feel fitty!

Awareness: Youth & Poverty in Toronto

Twenty years ago, Child Poverty was declared as a goal to be eliminated.  While much has been said, not much has been done.  Child poverty is more prevalent today than it ever has been.

In Canada, 50% of children still live in poverty; and food banks – a temporary measure – still thrives to help keep families fed.

Homelessness has become a major issue with youth.  Toronto proposed an action plan to deal with this proble;, but again, priorities shift (government to cut investing in youth and business not giving youth a fair deal).  The statistics from several social service agencies still bear it’s urgency:

  • girls are younger than boys when homeless,

  • there is an increase of drug abuse with over ½ of both boys and girls addicted (to deal with their problems).

  • Prostitution is a way for girls to survive, and

  • Theft is the major crime for boys.

Aside from this, at-risk youth in general is a major concern.  With an unemployment rate of 20% among youth, it is not surprising anger has risen as a venting opportunity leading to more than double the number of youth gangs in the past 10 years.  The government is trying desperately to catch up and save these individuals by implement a few different programs.

What are some of the recurring problems that still make it an issue?

  • Are young people blocked from achieving goals?

  • Are they are deprived of opportunities employment and education needs?

  • Do they tend to be profiled in the media and other institutions in a negative light?

  • This conditioning can lower opportunities.

There are some possible factors that influence these issues:

  • Youth are struggling with their own personal identity on who they want to become to fully express themselves,

  • Young people are caught between two worlds (child and adulthood) as they start accepting responsibility,

  • they are often at odds as to how and who they should be in society as it is often portrayed in media in many misleading and confusing ways, and

  • Youth are often poor.

Poverty is the major contributor to these issues.

Yet, as we see the politically conservative mindset flood us with a wave of slash and burn opportunities working against young people, (after all, we are in a recession), the poverty reduction strategy by various levels of governments appear to forget about their moral and ethical commitments (for which they were elected) and put this on the back burner.

Sadly, this doesn’t bring us one step closer to resolving the terrible situations youth have to face today.

Can we realistically expect any substantial change to really take place?

Will you share a thought ...

"Saturday" - Rebecca Black ft Dave Days [YouTube Official Video + Lyrics]

Zumic Staff

by Zumic Staff

Published December 08, 2013

Rebecca Black has returned with the sequel to 2011's viral abomination "Friday." Filled with tongue-in-cheek references to "Friday," "Saturday" is pretty much the same thing, except not done quite as poorly. Black is joined this time by fellow viral video sensation Dave Days for some fun-loving and innocuous weekend celebration.

The most notable thing about this video, aside from the possibility that we'll have suffer through five more day-of-the-week-songs, is that fact that it isn't as abysmally bad as "Friday," thereby losing some of its so-bad-it's-funny factor. Don't worry, though. There are still plenty of cringes to be had. Watch the video above and see if you can wrap your head around the Chaucer-esque poetry in the lyrics below.

Rebecca Black "Saturday" lyrics:

[Intro: Rebecca Black]
Oh my god, I love this song
This is my jam
Where is my peanut butter?

2 PM, getting out of my bed
Trying to get Friday out of my head
It's all so hazy
Got a little too crazy
You know I'd do it all again

[Pre-Chorus: Rebecca Black]
Call everyone you know
Turn up the radio
Cause this is our song
We can do no wrong
Are you ready, are you ready to go?

[Chorus: Rebecca Black]
This Saturday we're gonna party all night
One we will remember the rest of our lives
This Saturday we're gonna do it bigger than we ever have before
I don't want this Saturday to end [x3]

[Interlude: Rebecca Black & (Dave Days)]
Hey, come over
(Alright, alright, I'll be right over. I just gotta find my pants.)

Rolling up, I'm on the scene
Want you here right next to me
Yeah, cause this is our night
Ain't got no deadlines
There's nowhere else I'd rather be

[Bridge: Rebecca Black]
Yesterday was Friday, today is Saturday
We're gonna live like there's no tomorrow
Wouldn't have it any other way

Date Night (2nd Visit)

Grand Lake Theater

(Previously reviewed)
This is my third visit to the Grand Lake this year, giving another opportunity to photograph some parts of the theater that I hadn't yet been able to see, or had previously overlooked.  For starters, there's the large sign on the rooftop, here seen from the rear.

Some decorative work (below) just above the front entrance.

They just finished repainting the underside of the marquee; here you can see it before they've yet replaced all the lightbulbs.

The theater's ovular foyer is marvelous, with light beaming in from the street, second-story balconies looking down, giant urns recessed into the wall, and gilded molding everywhere.

Fliers sit to one side, in what looks to be an older coming attraction display case.  The shot below is the decorative work just above the case.

Looking down at the lobby from one of the second floor windows.

Below are doors similar to those through which the previous shot was taken.

The theater has four auditoriums.  On my two previous visits I photographed the main auditorium and the Moorish auditorium.  Tonight I was in the upper auditorium, created by building a screen at the edge of the balcony, cutting the upper level off from the lower level.

I recommend taking advantage of the upper echelons of the stadium seating, otherwise you'll be craning your neck.

I often compare theater seats to those at the Grand Lake.  Here's a shot up close.  Can you feel the comfort?  I've been surprised thus far in my project at the variety of seats available today, and how often they are uncomfortable.  I'd be curious to know how idiosyncratic levels of seating comfort are, given a person's weight, width, height, etc.

Several different styles of light fixtures decorate the theater.  Below is one from the highest level of the auditorium.

Golden molding leaves no corner neglected.

A false balcony above the emergency exit is the perfect place for a hero to direct traffic during our time of need.

The seating availability in the mezzanine lounge has once again changed, with the plush chairs now entirely absent.

On the ground floor, an atmospheric stained glass window decorates the corner just before you turn down the hall for auditoriums three and four.

Sex and the City 2

(Previously reviewed)

Robin Hood (Trailer 2)

Never content to tease us with teasers, to leave us curious, studios usually bombard us with a fully revelatory trailer just a few months in advance of the film's opening.  If the villain had been hidden, they are now exposed.  If the movie's plot and eventual resolution had been in doubt, all is made clear.  Any of the top billed actors not fortunate enough to speak dialog or even appear in the first trailer are now given their due (i.e. Cate Blanchett, William Hurt, Max von Sydow, Mark Strong, and Oscar Isaac).  Is it not enough to have Russell Crowe emerge screaming from the water?  Russell Crowe, swords, bows and arrows.  We're a simple people.  We don't need plot, and especially not a plot we've already seen.  Remember when Tombstone and Wyatt Earp were released within a year of each other?  Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp was, despite his cold line "wives die", the warmer of the two portrayals.  When the ladies fall for him, I could see why.  But when Kurt Russell's Wyatt Earp shouts, "And I'm bringing Hell with me!", you know he means business.  He's so mad, he's going to kill everyone twice, and he might even shoot the screenwriter for even thinking up bad guys.  Robin Hood is a bit like that.  Costner's Robin Hood was a good bedfellow to Maid Marion, but Crowe's the man you want in a scrape. 165 cuts, but they come too fast to count in some places.  This trailer makes me want to revisit the first, and increase it to four stars.

Iron Man 2 (Trailer 2)

(Previously reviewed)

Date Night

(Previously reviewed)
My parents were in town, so we went to see Date Night (a sure winner with the folks), making it the first movie this year that I've seen twice.  A few notes.

In what appears to be a gaff, the bad guys never identify what has been stolen; they merely call it "property".  It is Steve Carell who first names it as a "flash drive".

I love the moment when, having outrun their pursuers, Tina Fey looks at her hyperventilating husband and says he needs to do more cardio, to which he replies, "I'm not out of shape, I'm scared."

I work as a developer of databases, and one of my chief concerns of late has been to update an existing system so that it isn't so slow for my clients.  Thus I took great delight when Tina Fey, hurriedly accessing a computer, sees the spinning cursor and shouts in exasperation, "rainbow wheel!"

Cast: Pam Grier, Yaphet Kotto, Godfrey Cambridge, Thalmus Rasulala, Eartha Kitt, Jim Backus, Scatman Crothers, Ted Lange, Carl Weathers

BluRay released: June 9th, 2015
Approximate running times: 90 minutes

Rating: R
Sound: DTS-HD Mono English
Subtitles: N/A
BluRay Release: Olive Films
Region Coding: Region A
Retail Price: $29.95

Synopsis: A photojournalist named Friday Foster puts her life in danger when she takes photos of an attempted assassination on a prominent African-American figure named Blake Tarr. With the help of her private detective friend will she be able to expose those behind the assassination attempt or will they silence her forever?

Friday Foster was directed by Arthur Marks whose other notable films include, Bonnie’s Kid’s, The Roommates, Detroit 9000 and Bucktown. The score for Friday Foster was composed by Luchi De Jesus whose other standout scores include, Slaughter, Detroit 9000 and Black Belt Jones. The film Friday Foster was adapted from a comic strip of the same name that was created by writer Jim Lawrence and artist Jorje Longeron.

The film’s narrative is simple, to the point and easy to follow. All of the characters are well defined. And the film features several delirious lines of dialog, most notably a dialog exchange between Friday and a pimp named Fancy Dexter. He wants her to join his stable of women and part of his pitch is that he offers his ladies a health coverage. Besides humor that is provided by the aforementioned dialog, another area where this film where thus film excels are its car chases which see Friday driving in a milk truck and a hearse.

When it comes to the cast this film is not lacking in recognizable faces as it is a virtual who’s, who from the Blaxploitation genre. The cast includes Yaphet Kotto (Bone) in the role of the detective that helps Friday uncover the truth, Scatman Crothers (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) in the role of Friday’s boss, Ted Lange (‘Love Boat’) in the role of Fancy Dexter, Carl Weathers (Rocky) in the role of one of the hitmen, Eartha Kitt (‘Batman’) and Jim Backus (‘Gilligan’s Island’).

Though this film is clearly a star vehicle for its leading lady Pam Grier (Coffy, Foxy Brown), the role she portrays goes against the type of role that she has since become synonymous with. Instead of the tough chick with a mean streak who can take care of herself, This time around she plays a more passive character that at times resembles the Hollywood stereotype damsel in distress character. In fact she takes advantage of this chance to play against type and she turns in another mesmerizing performance that elevates everyone around and the story at hand.

The BluRay:

Friday Foster comes on a 25 GB single layer (21.1 GB) BluRay. The film is presented in a 1080 progressive widescreen. Where Olive Films two other Pam Grier films had already had worldwide Blu-Ray debut. This is not the case with Friday Foster which via this release makes its worldwide Blu-Ray debut. And this is yet another marked improvement upon previous home video releases for this film. Colors look more vibrant, contrast and black levels look consistently strong and details look sharp, with a marked improvement in clarity during darker scenes. Also there are no issues with DNR or compression.

This film comes with one audio option, a DTS-HD mono mix in English. There are no issues with background noise or distortion. Dialog comes through clearly and everything sounds balanced. Range the more ambient aspects of the soundtrack are well represented and the film’s score sounds robust.

This release comes with no extra content.

Overall another solid audio / video presentation from Olive Films.

Note: Olive Films are also releasing this film on DVD.

AP and Telangana compete to put up a Super Budget!

Telangana government is planning to put up a whopping 1.4 Lakh Crore budget for 2016-17. CM KCR reportedly insisted the officials to ensure the next budget hits a figure that AP can not match. Telangana budget will be pegging planned expenditure at 62000 Crore while non-plan expenditure will be between 78000-80000 Crore.

In fact AP reported higher GDSP than Telangana but the Chief Minister is keen on making Telangana economy to appear bigger than AP for political reasons. AP is likely to come up with a 1.3 Lakh budget as indicated by finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu last week.

Irrespective of the volume of budgets they put up, both the states are lagging in reaching even half of the budgetary targets they put up. They should better concentrate on effective financial management.

Recent 131st Bomb Wing News

Congratulations are in order to the new 131st Bomb Wing executive officer Capt. Catherine Germain. When asked about her thoughts on her new role and the total force process she states "In the last couple of weeks as the executive officer, I've met many folks from both the 131st and 509th and have been very impressed with the professionalism and motivation of everyone. I believe the TFI here at Whiteman is incorporating the best of both the guard and active duty worlds into the most effective and efficient force."

P.S.- I apologize for my absence since the final flight. Things will be updated much more frequently now.

Remember, help spread the word on this blog, site, and youtube!

Portland, OR, USA

Regular Session and Academic Track proposals due

A reminder to all FOSS4G attendees – the proposal submission deadline for both the Academic Track and Regular Sessions is next Tuesday, April 15th. For the Regular Sessions, we strongly recommend reviewing our advice for successful proposals before submitting.

The community voting on the Regular Sessions will directly follow the deadline, April 18th to 28th.

Travel Grant Announcement

We realize that traveling to and attending a conference can be expensive, and that not everyone who uses or develops open source software has provided funding to pay their way or the means to pay for it themselves. To make sure that as many deserving people as possible can attend FOSS4G, we’re creating a travel grant program with funds to cover registration and travel costs. Watch for details coming soon.

One additional reminder: Early Bird Registration is open!

Important Conference Dates

See the full calendar for more details.

  • April 15th: Academic Paper/Presentation Proposals Due
  • June 15th: Early bird registration ends
  • Sept 8th-9th: Workshops

  • Sept 13th: Code Sprint

See you in Portland,

FOSS4G PDX Local Organizing Committee

About FOSS4G

Put on by OSGeo, the annual FOSS4G conference is the premiere global gathering for people working with and creating open source geospatial software. It brings together developers, users, decision makers, and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation for six days of workshops, presentations, discussions, and cooperation. From this melting pot of great spatial ideas and industry flow numerous successful geospatial products, standards and protocols.

FOSS4G has been held all over the world and draws attendees from over 40 countries. Nottingham, England hosted the conference in 2013. In 2014, Portland, Oregon, USA will host FOSS4G’s tenth year.

About OSGeo

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation was founded in 2006 to support and build the highest-quality open source geospatial software. The foundation’s goal is to encourage the use and collaborative development of community-led projects, data development and education. Many projects live under the OSGeo umbrella, including FOSS4G.

About PDX OSGeo – Portland Area and Oregon OSGeo Chapter

The PDX-OSGeo chapter of OSGeo has been meeting, discussing and promoting the use of open source geospatial technology since 2009. Chapter members often organize or present on open source software at regional geospatial conferences. PDX is the airport code and like the PDX airport, the group has a wide catchment area.

International Investment Law - Sources, rights and obligations

Thomas Roe and Professor Matthew Happold wrote the chapter titled: 'The Energy Charter Treaty'.

Transnational investment involves a variety of actors (States, public and private legal entities, and natural persons) whose relationships are governed by rules and legal instruments belonging to different legal systems. This book provides a systematic study of the sources of rights and obligations in the field of transnational investment, and their coordination and interaction.

It focuses primarily on the network of over 3,000 Bilateral Investment Treaties, international investment contracts, customary international law, the main multilateral treaties, national legislation, … read more international case law and general principles of law.

The book, firmly based on State practice, arbitral awards and national decisions, is indispensable to fully appraise the nature and content of the claims of private investors as well as to identify the law applicable in investment arbitration.

How Come Do Mormons Wear White Under Garments?

Mormons wear the garments after they have completed their temple endowments which is a covenant they make with God via a ceremony performed in the Mormon temple. The garments are a reminder of their covenant with God, and they also promote modesty. The garments cover the top part of your legs and they have short sleeves. They are expected to wear the garments under their regular clothing, the idea is that if their clothing covers the entire garment, the outfit is modest enough for them to be wearing.

Need Help Starting T-Shirt Cloathing Line?
Okay I'M A 19 Year Old Kid With Some Great Ideals For T-Shirts. The Problem Is I Have No Clue Where To Start... I'M Not Much Of An Artist And Not Sure Where To Go For Someone Design The Shirts. Also, Should I Think Of Copywrite For The Sayings I Have Came Up With??? Please Any Help Would Be Awesome

i would start small at first. maybe pick one design that you would like and take that idea to a local screen printing shop. i would have them put some art work with your saying and see if people that you know will buy them. you may have to have a dozen or so shirts made. there are also some sites online that will produce your shirt ideas and post them for sale on their website. the first idea is what i would do to start, you will have to talk to a lawyer about protecting your ideas and an accountant about the best type of business to classify yourself as for tax and liability purposes. the t shirt market is cut throat and in my experience people are bound to try to steal your work. another option is to give who ever does your art work a free shirt or shirts and take the full idea to the printer. you may also find a starting artist who may do the design for free just for expanding their portfolio, maybe post on craigslist to search for help in the art work area. hope this gives you some starting ideas.

2014 Official Olympic Outfits for Team USA are Embarrassing

The 2014 Winter Olympics take place in Sochi, Russia next month, with the Opening Ceremonies happening two weeks from today.

Unfortunately for our athletes, they’ll be presented to the world wearing an outfit one would expect to see at an ugly sweater party.

Don’t believe me?

2014 US Olympics outfit

Come on. What the hell is that?

Designer Ralph Lauren even had them for sale on his website, with the entire purchase price ($595?!??!) going to the U.S. Olympic Committee. Somehow, they all sold out, and they are no longer available to the public.

The good thing about the outfit is that it was 100% made in the U.S.A. The wool was harvested in Oregon, spun in Pennsylvania, dyed in North Carolina, and assembled in California. (This is all in contrast to Lauren’s use of Chinese factories to make the Team USA gear in 2012.)

The bad thing is…everything else. I don’t know what’s worse, that we are appearing to a global audience in wool sweatpants, the terrible boots, or…that frickin sweater.

This is what Team USA looked like at the last Winter Games:

2010 Olympics Team USA Opening Ceremony
Getty Images Sport

It just looks more nicely put together.

This year, we look a little sloppy. It’s as if a preppy girl and a hipster guy got together, and this is what they came up with. Just not good. What would be so terrible about dark blue pants, a white sweater (add some navy blue stripes if you want), and a red belt or hat or something? What? Too classy??

Lucky for us this isn’t the Fashion Olympics!

What do you think of the 2014 Opening Ceremonies outfit? Tell us in the comment section below!

Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles Shares First Photo of Newborn Son Magnus

Jennifer Nettles Baby Boy

Sunday was the first Mother’s Day for Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles. She celebrated the holiday with another big first — she debuted her son Magnus Hamilton Miller, born Dec. 6, 2012.

Fans had been wondering when Nettles would reveal an image of her pride and joy. Now that she has, we can finally gawk and “ooh” and “ahh” with reckless abandon. The songstress tweeted an intimate photo of herself with her little guy, who is clearly the love of her life.

“So much love and joy on my first Mother’s Day!” she wrote. “A very Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mamas! #MothersDay.”

Judging from the smile on her face, motherhood is certainly agreeing with Nettles, and she is in love with her new role. She has taken some time off from the band to just be a mom and enjoy those critical and formative first few months with her little man.

“He’s super, super sweet,” Nettles reveals to People. “We made a deal before he was born. I said, ‘Look, you can cook as long as you want, as long as you come out and latch like it’s your job and have a sweet demeanor.’ He kept his part of the bargain!”

Magnus’ dad is Nettles’ husband Justin Miller. He is the first child for both parents.

Political Satire

Wet diaper 9.90SEK
Carema is a company that's been in the news quite often lately. They are best known as the company that mistreats elderly to save money. On of the things they've done is to save money on adult diapers. The personal have gotten orders to change them as long between as possible, and even to weigh the diapers to see if they can get any fuller before they change it. Leaving the elderly in diapers full of faeces and urine is not the worst thing they've done, but it is something we all can relate to. No one want to go around in wet, stinky, dirty, corrosive pants.

The artist Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin is known for her provocative art, and perhaps most of all for her "ecce homo" art where she shows Jesus as a member of the LGBT community. Now she's created a photo montage based on the Carema scandal and Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt.

"Looking at the picture should feel just as disgusting as it feels for the elderly to be in their own shit. The piss diaper became a symbol of mismanagement in healthcare, Carema-diaper. You should really take this seriously", says Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin.

Aaron's Hyper IgM Journey

Friday, May 11, 2012

Boredom setting in

Things around here are really starting to get boring.  The few activities that we have found to be safe for Aaron are getting old both to Aaron and his parents.  We need to get creative and think of some new things.  We did enjoy ice cream in the park Thursday evening.  We sat in the shade and did not let Aaron touch anything.  He sat on my lap and we had strawberry ice cream with M&Ms.  Aaron did not like the M&Ms, so I got his.  The park was nice with no people around which made it more comfortable for us.

A week ago one of our BMT friends took their son home to Florida.  Next week four more of our BMT friends are going home.  Most of the kids that were transplanted around the time of Aaron have gone home or are going home very soon.  We are trying to focus on the positive and not be discouraged, but we so badly want to go home.

Aaron had two checkups this week.  His skin GVH is getting worse again.  His skin is the worst it has been since we left the hospital.  The doctors are still lowering the steroids and hoping it will not get worse.  Otherwise, we will have to go back up on the steroids.  Going up on the steroids means being here longer and more complications for Aaron.  His liver numbers are getting worse as well.  His kidneys remain about the same.  Hopefully, things will be better next week.

  1. Doubling up on the prayers for Aaron...actually all of you...missing you too and looking forward when you can return home...hugs

5-year-old missing in Fayetteville

November 11, 2009 8:59:15 PM PST
Fayetteville police think foul play may be behind the disappearance of a 5-year-old girl.Police issued an Amber Alert for Shaniya Davis on Tuesday.

The little girl is missing from her home on Sleepy Hollow Drive off Murchison Road in Fayetteville.

Click here for pictures of the search and more pictures of Shaniya

Crime scene technicians worked well past dark Wednesday night collecting evidence inside the mobile home where Davis disappeared.

Earlier in the day investigators were back at the mobile home park after a soiled child's blanket believed to be the little girl's was discovered in a trash can outside neighbor Andrea Moore's home.

"You know just this whole time I was thinking to myself oh my God, at least they could tell me that this baby is not in my trash can," she said. "Once they came and got it, I realized there was no child in that trash can."

Moore says officers told her they found feces on the blanket, on the railing and porch of the child's home.

Police say Moore is not a suspect.

Police were called to the little girl's home just before 7 a.m. Tuesday. The girl's mother, Antwanette Davis, told investigators she put her daughter on the couch around 5:30 a.m. and noticed her missing an hour or so later.

"From the information we gained during the night, something went wrong," said Fayetteville Police spokesperson Theresa Chance.

Police say they aren't buying that story.

"There is definitely something that's not right about that situation foul play is suspected," Chance said.

Investigators suspect the 5-year-old was taken out of the home sometime late Monday night, but aren't saying why or by whom.

"We are searching for her and hoping she is still alive, but we don't know at this point," Chance said.

Police searched the area Tuesday around the mobile home on the ground and in air. They used dogs to scour the neighborhood and were also checking all vehicles leaving the area.

"Everybody is just wondering what happened to her, so am I because I have a 5-year-old as well," neighbor Gail Lindsay said. "So I know I would be losing my mind right now."

Authorities took the child's mother, her boyfriend and her sister in for questioning. They say there has been domestic and custody issues in the past.

They also said this was not their first call to the home this year. Narcotics agents raided the mobile home in July and found drugs. There have been reports of domestic problems as well.

"There have been some custody shifts back and forth," Chance said. "The child has stayed with different family. There has just been some things that in the mix in recent history as well as DSS has been involved with the family before."

Late Tuesday, police said the little girl's father flew into town to assist with the investigation.

Police said there are several registered sex offenders who live in the neighborhood, and were checking them out, but they cautioned there was no initial evidence that they were involved in the girl's apparent abduction.

Police still aren't saying if any relatives are suspects, they say it remains a confusing and disturbing case.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Fayetteville Police at (910) 433-1856.

Mountain residents campaign for road safety

April 30, 2008 12:00:00 AM PDT
With the weather warming up, more and more people are heading up to mountain recreation areas. However, some of those mountain roads can be treacherous."There is actual physical pain in my heart and it hurts. The pain is so incredible you cannot even begin to imagine what it is like when you loose your family," said Dena Wissore.

Click in the Eyewitness News story window above to watch Rob McMillan's report.

For mountain residents Dena Wissore and her son Wayne September 22, 2007, is a day that they will never forget. It is a day that changed their lives forever.

"I remember leaving in the morning and waking up in the hospital," explains Wayne Riley.

Wayne says he was on Highway 330 when he lost control of his vehicle in the rain and slammed into a guard rail.

An oncoming truck that they say was going way to fast crashed into them crushing the car. Wayne's wife, Suzanne, his sister, Tamara and his 15-month-old son Ziek all died in the accident. Only Wayne survived.

"Accidents are accidents and I understand that. Just a little care and foresight, defensive driving, just always be prepared. When you know you are going around a blind corner you know that something could be coming up ahead," said Wissmore.

That is the reason behind the "Safe Mountain Roads" campaign. Caltrans and the CHP are reminding people to slow down.

"We have had so many fatalities on this mountain in the last year. We've loss children and we've loss families. It is one of those things that tugs very hard at our hearts. People need to be aware to slow down," said Cheryl Nagy from the Running Springs Chamber of Commerce.

Meantime Dena and her son only have memories of their loved ones. It is an accident that they say could of been prevented, but a split second decision now leaves a life time of pain.

"The people left behind are tortured. To loose children is the worst thing that you can ever imagine," said Wissmore.

The goal of the "Safe Mountain Roads" campaign is a simple one, just slow down.

Man's fortune gone with the wind

July 22, 2008 12:00:00 AM PDT
A 70-year-old man watched his money blow away when he walked out of a South Bay Bank branch in Torrance, but he got most of it back, thanks to some honest people.Ludwig Geier was walking out of the South Bay Bank in Torrance on Monday, holding an envelope with over $1,000 in cash.

"It fell down right here. And the wind took it up right away. It took it, like, out of the envelope ... all the bills it took out of the envelope," said Ludwig. "And they all went up in the air, you know."

The money went across the street, under cars, and into shrubs.

"Twenty dollar bills, fifties and hundreds ... I had a few you know," said Ludwig.

Nearly a dozen people grabbed the money and handed it back to Ludwig. When all the cash was returned, he was only missing $180.

"Well, I'm sure grateful to all of those people. I thank them a hell of a lot, you know," said Ludwig.

"It's nice that he retrieved the majority of his money and we're all having fun at the same time," said Jill Fatal, South Bay Bank.

"It makes you believe in people, you know. It's really, really uplifting," said Ludwig.

Ludwig says the reason he took the money out was because he was going on vacation to Las Vegas.

Rigid School Dress Code Leads to Suspension of Dozens in Indiana

dress code/ABC News

When 13-year-old Elijah Bell came home from school on his second day of eighth grade he gave his mother the pink warning slip he'd gotten for violating the school's dress code.

His outfit? Pants and a button-up, collared shirt. His violation? The shirt was plaid.

His 7-year-old sister Kayvonne Ferguson also got a pink slip the same day. Her offense was wearing houndstooth patterned pants.

The children's mother, Jacqueline Bell, is one of dozens of parents up in arms about the new dress code at Indiana's Richmond Community Schools, a public school district. The new rules are so draconian, some say, that more than 150 high school students -- about 10 percent of the student body -- were suspended the second day of class alone. Dozens more were suspended in the following days, some more than once.

Bell said she was shocked that her children were sent to school in what she considered respectable clothes only to find out that most everything in their wardrobe was now forbidden.

"It's good enough to wear to church, but you can't wear it to school," she told ABCNews.com. "It amazes me."

Richmond Community Schools Superintendent Allen Bourff told ABCNews.com that the new dress code was enforced steadfastly after a revision last year produced very little change in students' behavior with respect to their clothing.

"The changes were made because of the distractions in the classroom that the teachers had to deal with," he said.

Much of what's contained in the dress code is typical -- no profanity or clothes that expose breasts or behinds. But it's the new changes that sparked the ire of parents and students alike.

Among the banned articles of clothing are: logos, emblems and graphics; prints, such as flowers, stripes and plaids; shorts, skirts and dresses that are shorter than the children's middle fingers when their arms are at their sides; shirts that end above the waist or below the thigh, and anything but plain polo or crewneck shirts.

Clothes can also not be too baggy or overly tight.

Bourff said the problem wasn't those innocuous prints, such as stripes and flowers, but shirts that bore large graphics, sometimes with messages hidden underneath.

"We don't want students out of the classroom. That's not the point," he said. "We just don't want to have any issue with print at all. There are too many ... issues of trying to determine what's acceptable and what's not."

Online Petitions From Parents Upset About Dress Code

Bourff said he stands by the district's decision and noted that the number of suspensions has come down every day.

The Palladium-Item, Richmond's newspaper, reported that at least one student was suspended after wearing a plain, crew neck shirt because it exposed her collarbone.

Bell said it is frustrating that the school is so focused on clothes and feels bad not only for the parents but for the teachers who must spend the day inspecting their students for banned items.

Petitions on both sides of the argument have sprung up online. The petition against the new dress code bears 1,447 online signatures. Another in support of the dress code and/or school uniform has 54.

Most of the signers supporting the school district's dress code actually favored uniforms, but some were adamant that the dress code wasn't that hard to follow.

"I am all for the dress code," one poster, signed Sara Tyre, wrote. "I have six kids in school. I found clothes for them all that follow the code, and being on a tight income, then anyone should be able to."

Bourff said uniforms absolutely "would have been simpler."

But after numerous conferences and student surveys in the last year, "the message was very loud and clear," he said. "We don't want uniforms."

At this point, Bell said, she'd prefer a uniform, noting that she'd only have to buy one for now and wash it each night without anyone knowing the difference.

Bourff, now in his sixth year as superintendent, noted that the strict dress code does allow for some freedoms that uniforms don't. Students are allowed to pick the colors of their clothes, he said, and are allowed to wear clothing with logos advertising Richmond schools sports or activities.

New Dress Code Creates Financial Hardship for Some Parents

Bell said she was surprised to learn of the changes, especially because there had been a rewrite of the dress code in the second half of last year. That change, she said, simply barred T-shirts and clothing with logos with the exception of university or college.

That knocked out her daughter Kayvonne's penchant for Hannah Montana gear and Elijah's "Star Wars" shirts, but still left plenty of options in her closets. Those options are now gone, including anything with college logos.

Her children would often wear clothing they got for free or discount, T-shirts from her older children's colleges or shirts from the sporting store The Finish Line where one of her sons works. All are now out. Even plain khakis, she said, can be banned even for the simple logo tag on the back.

Bell, a divorced, single mother of seven children -- the oldest five are all in college -- said she simply cannot afford to buy brand new clothing for her two youngest children on her salary as a part-time employee at a community college.

Knowing her mother's desperation, Bell said one of her older daughters sent her part of a scholarship check for new clothes, money Bell will repay her daughter later this semester.

Bourff said the district understands some parents may have a hard time paying for an entire new wardrobe to accommodate the new dress code. Anyone in need of assistance, he said, was welcome to contact school principals who are authorized to give out new clothing that met the guidelines or direct parents to community resources.

The school district also expects a donation from the United Way to start a "clothes closet" where students can trade used items, he said.

Bell, who said she has worked very hard to make sure her children's education was not affected by their low-income status, said that instead of going over homework and last-minute school topics in the morning, she's checking her children's outfits so they don't get suspended.

"It's so in the way of everything," she said. "This is interfering with the education process."

Time for T

Of course, it goes without saying that my favorite T word is "Troy"

But after that it becomes less clear.

But one T word I do NOT like is "Time"

Now, owning an herb business, I hear more than my fair share of Time/Thyme jokes.  And I even make a few myself. But although I love Thyme, Time leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.

It makes my hair grey, (what little I have left that is)  gives me wrinkles and creaky joints, and contrary to popular belief, it does NOT heal all ills.

It teases, taunts and torments, then slips away and hides.  I can never find time.  And that is because Time flies, and I do not.

So, Time has been flying along, and it is already time to reveal the logo for the next round, round 14.

But before I do, I just want to explain it a bit, and I confess, I can do it better if I don't focus on T words, so please forgive me in advance.

Now this will be a longer intro than usual, please be patient with me.

The upcoming round is 14, so I wanted to do something that represented the number 14.

Numbers are funny things, because they mean lots of different things to lots of different people.  But the number 14 has some fun symbolism associated with it.

November 22, 1963, Dallas, Texas, United States
John F. Kennedy, Assassinated
Some of you will remember this day of infamy.  Some of you had not been born yet, but most likely will have learned of this horrific incident in History class.  This year marks the 50th anniversary and I can remember the day as though it were yesterday.  I was home from high school sick in bed when my mother rushed in and told me to "Get up! President Kennedy's been assassinated!"  Even though we're Canadians, we both knew the significance and possible ramifications it could have on our own country, let alone on the United States of America.  There is no point in going into the details of the event or the consequences since we're all aware of them.  Suffice to say that we should remember him and his family and what he did for his country and beyond.
Some of JFK's famous quotes:

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty."
"Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind."
"Let us not seek the Republican or the Democratic answer, but the right answer.  Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past.  Let us accept our own responsibility for the future."
"Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air.  We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."
November 11th is called "Remembrance Day" in Canada and "Veterans Day" in the USA.  Perhaps November 22nd should be called something other than the day Kennedy died.  Your thoughts?
It just might behoove the current leaders of the world's nations to stop and remember not only John F. Kennedy's assassination, but also to recall his perceptive and discerning wisdom.  Remembrance Day (Canada) and Veterans Day (USA) was November 11th when we stopped to remember our fallen warriors.  Perhaps November 23rd should be called something other than the day Kennedy died.Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

Introduction of R

The R of Rotterdam where I was born. I learned Reading in the Remote colony of Indonesia. I Remember the Revelation of new worlds created by my books. I loved " Rupert the Bear" and Read the books about him when I was ill. I was almost sorry that I Recovered .
After a couple of peaceful years the war broke out. We lost everything and went to a concentration camp. In August '45 we could leave the camp and go to Surabaya. We were Rescued by the British and taken to Singapore. From Singapore we were Removed to Europe and Repatriated to Rotterdam, which lay in Ruins. We felt no Resentment and the Rotterdammers started to Rebuild the City.
On Remembrance Day we Remind the free world that Resistance to a barbarian Regime is always Required.
There were 70,000 brave Germans and Austrians, who  fled their country to Britain in order to fight alongside the British against the Nazis. They were called the "Friendly Enemy Aliens".

This building is called "The White House ", and was left undamaged, when the city was bombed by Nazi Germany.

Q - like Quotes

Now that we arrived at the letter Q, I thought "Quotes" would be the right word. At least it starts with a "Q".

But what is the meaning of a quote ?

I googled and here is the explanation :

According to the free Dictionary a quote is :

1. To repeat or copy the words of (another), usually with acknowledgment of the source.
2. To cite or refer to for illustration or proof.
3. To repeat a brief passage or excerpt from: The saxophonist quoted a Duke Ellington melody in his solo.
4. To state (a price) for securities, goods, or services.

And if you need quotes to show how intelligent you are then go to the Quote Garden choose what you want and pretend that it is from you !

I choose "Quotations" : I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself. ~Marlene Dietrich  Gattina

Saturday and Sunday!

It will be Monday before we get this posted, and it feels like forever since I have had a chance to post…won’t repeat what Donna said about our day in Dayton on Friday, but it was absolutely fabulous….Meeting Ernie and being on the receiving end of his generosity and love of history was just a great experience…..I wish he and Karen well as they continue being the keepers of the “Wright House”. Thanks again….Saturday morning we headed to the Dayton Library….didn’t know if it would be productive or not, and to be honest I was really pretty discouraged about not finding any documentation of the boys’ journey to Santa Fe…well, I was on my last roll of microfilm when I screeched to Donna, “There are our boys!” Well, in the excitement of the moment, I moved the film really quickly, and I had to look for them….It was beyond words what a blessing it was to find the picture and then subsequent articles…Since I had a date for their time in Dayton, I looked at the other two papers and found other articles and another picture….It told where the boys stayed in Dayton, and the Local History Librarian was so helpful….I am sorry that I don’t have her name—but forgive me because I am typing this at the laundry and it is 11:00…anyway, she was very helpful in showing us how to access the library’s online archives…there is a post card of the hotel….Well, needless to say we were pretty pumped to travel on…..Away we flew over the hills of eastern Ohio—through picturesque---stopping in a couple of beautiful old towns---Zanesville and Cambridge---didn’t get any pictures to speak of in Cambridge because it was a monsoon while we were there….we did give a copy of the book to the local police….Sgt. Hill said he would give it to the local library for us….Yes, we braved the rain to stop and give the book….Wheeling, WV was the next place---although we didn’t see a comet there, like the boys—we did see a beautiful rainbow! J After stopping for a bite to eat, we started looking for a place to stay, and ended the day in Morgantown, WV….. It was a super fabulous day…..Thank you Lord for all of the blessings!
Sunday we had a late start, but headed for Frederick, MD…we had several scenic stops along the way….our first big stop was in Cumberland, MD….we toured the canal district and where Gen. George Washington had his headquarters near there right before the French and Indian War….This was a great area…we are both in love with all of the old homes and buildings….we traveled on and saw some very interesting geology, so we stopped and crossed the interstate at a run during a small break in traffic to get a better picture….we were also able to find small pieces of shale that had broken off of the outcrop…little did we know that there was an amazing pass through the mountain just ahead…so we stopped again…..there was a great bridge over the interstate just for Donna….I don’t think she liked it anymore than the suspension bridge we crossed in Wheeling on Saturday…But the view was worth it….There were many different layers of rock that even I could see and tell where the lifts and differences were….eventually we made it to Antietam National Park… is such a beautiful place to have been the home of the deadliest day of fighting in the Civil War….We spent several hours there…..but one afternoon is not enough time…just when I thought we might be locked in the cemetery….we made it to our car and headed on to Frederick…..and no, I haven’t learned that the little lines mean “curvy and slow”….but it was a nice view….But I do think if I tell Donna to “look” one more time, she might scream….because I usually say this just after I have asked her to look up something on the map or a travel guide…..Oh, well….it usually is worth looking at….. Okay, I am pretty giddy…the laundry is finished and it is a quarter to midnight…hopefully we will find our way back to the hotel…. Did the guy say right right left….or left left right???? I guess if you are reading this all is well….

This is Donna. Just going to add a few comments.
Melody did get excited and zipped past her spot on the microfiche. The good part is, she didn’t try to break this one like the one in New Mexico!
The suspension bridge and, not mentioned before lookout tower at Antietam, were great…..if you’re looking at them from the ground!
We try not to eat at chain restaurants, but we did eat at Bob Evans. That was o.k. because neither of us had eaten there before. NOW it is a chain restaurant. Right?
When driving through really heavy rain, we have decided that part of our journey has been a voyage.
