Elizabethan Consort

The University of St. Joseph in West Hartford hosts an outdoor Shakespeare festival every summer.  Before one of last weekend's performances, the Elizabethan Consort performed.  They are an a cappella quartet.  This singer was particularly expressive.

These days we are connected to electronics all the time.  It seems that we spend the whole day staring at screens.

But now and them I see guys at a school playground playing a simple game of basketball, just like I did many decades ago.

Two Restaurants

Taste of Hartford is going on for two weeks.  Participating restaurants offer an appetizer, entree and dessert for $20.13.  I went to Peppercorns, a restaurant on Main Street.  The dining rooms have a mural of imagined Italian scenes, so I am linking this post to Monday Murals.

About a month ago I posted a photo of the Union League Cafe in New Haven that I took last fall.  Two weeks ago I went back to the restaurant.  While waiting for friends to arrive, I wondered how it would look if I shot through a couple of glasses.  iPhone again.

Really Red

The Spigot is a Prospect Street bar.  It was repainted a month ago.
It was already bright red.  Now it is really bright red.

Saturday, July 27, 2013

The reason I went to the riverfront last Thursday was to view the fireworks and to practice photographing them.  The previously scheduled July 4 fireworks had been postponed because the water levels were dangerously high.

I wanted to catch fireworks cascading over the Hartford skyline, but I was too close to the barges where the fireworks were ignited, so most of the fireworks were too high in the sky.  But, here are a couple of images that turned out OK.  I learned a few things about photographing fireworks that I can use next year.

The Riverfront at Night

Last Friday I showed a sunset over downtown Hartford, with reflections on the Connecticut River.  This is how it looked an hour later, around 9 p.m.  This is also straight out of the camera, without editing.  To see more photographs with reflections, click here for James' blog Weekend Reflections.

Venice VII

Venice was LOADED with tourists.  As a tourist myself, I was not in a
good position to complain about the number of people crowding into San Marco, was I?
But, some places were not as crowded.

And photography was prohibited in some of the most spectacular places.
I must have inadvertently brushed against the shutter button.

At a farmer's market in Farmington, Debby showed off both her winning smile
and her shirts with the "Whoever smiles wins" motto.

Debby is a calligraphic artist who designed the shirts.  They are made from a mix of hemp
for durability and organic cotton for softness.  The more you wash them,
the softer they get.  The letters are stitched, not printed.

Buy them here.  (Nothing in it for me, just giving a plug for a friendly
entrepreneur who has a nice natural product.)

Student Artists in Korčula

Korčula is a very pretty small fortified Croatian town on an island of the same name in the Adriatic Sea.  The interior streets are quite narrow.  I ran across a dozen students taking an art lesson in one of those streets.

The Busway

If political or financial rants bother you, go away and come back tomorrow.

Connecticut is spending $567 million to build a 9.4 mile busway from downtown Hartford to downtown New Britain.  (The feds are paying about 80 percent of the total, but that is us, too.)  That is $60 million per mile for a busway that will have few riders.  Yes, it is providing 4,000 construction jobs, but any public expenditure of $567 million is going to create temporary jobs.  And add to the tax burden.

I need to take some blood pressure pills.

Remember Sue?

Sue is a blogger from greater Hartford who let me show five of her Connecticut photos while I was in Florida last winter.  She has a gardening blog -- Idyll Haven -- focusing on the extensive plantings in her yard in Wethersfield.  One photo I "borrowed" showed her yard after the 23 inch snowstorm in February, which sure looks refreshing after a six day heat wave!  In midsummer Sue's amazing garden looks like this:

The Russian Lady

For 21 years, The Russian Lady was the hottest bar in downtown Hartford.  It was behind the Civic Center where the Hartford Whalers played hockey and the University of Connecticut played basketball.    But, in 1997 the Whalers announced that the franchise was moving to North Carolina and the bar closed.  Its contents were sold off.  The biggest loss was the sale of the 16-foot bronze "Mother Russia" statue that sat atop the building.

Two years ago the bar reopened with a new owner.  Many of the original furnishings were repurchased and installed.  "Mother Russia," however, was in a New York hotel and could not be bought back.  So, the owners of The Russian Lady had a replica made.  Today it watches over the bar's patrons.

Friday, July 19, 2013

Last night I went to the riverfront.  The sun was setting over downtown Hartford and casting reflections of the skyline on the Connecticut River.  This photo is straight from the camera, with no editing.

If you like photos with reflections, please visit James' blog, Weekend Reflections. This post is also linked to Skywatch Friday.

Yesterday I was asked why so many cities have a train station called Union Station.  Google and I looked into that question.  Union Station is one in which many different railroad lines share a single terminal.  You can read about that here.

Union Station

Amtrak trains come through downtown Hartford a dozen times each day.  The train station is a brownstone Richardsonian Romanesque structure from 1889.  At the near end, Hot Tomatoes operates a bar and restaurant.

Zadar is a coastal city in Croatia.

Young boys everywhere love to dive.  I sure did.

Few of them have as nice a setting.

(Yes, Susie, I would have told him to keep his legs together and straight and
point his toes if I were closer and if I spoke Croatian.)

Connecticut Yankee

This distinguished gentleman was patiently sitting in a store waiting for his wife to finish shopping.

"You have a perfect New England face," I told him.  "Please tell me you weren't born in Wisconsin."

"No," he said.  "I am a physician and I was born in Hartford, one of the few still remaining."

I want to be his agent.  There must be a market in Hollywood for classic Connecticut Yankees.

Black and white?  I know, I know.  Usually my photos are in color, but he was sitting next to a boring beige wall.  I asked him to call me next time he was sitting next to a dark blue or red wall and we both had a good laugh.

Monday, July 15, 2013

"Heaven" is the informal name for an out-of-the-way park at the edge of Hartford's downtown.  It is a barren concrete space used by skateboarders (and vagrants).  The City has unfunded plans to spruce it up and install a real skateboarding facility.  Meanwhile, there is a tussle between "legitimate" street artists, who paint authorized murals, and vandals  taggers who spray paint junk.  Currently just about every surface is covered with graffiti.  Expensive downtown offices overlook the park, and the owners of these buildings are not happy with the view.

The City is proposing to permit "art" only on two of the big, formerly blank walls.  In my opinion, it is too late to put the cat back in the bag.  But, I would like to be wrong.

Asylum Avenue Baptist Church

This small Baptist church in the Gothic Revival style was built in 1896.

Yes.  I did wait for the pedestrians to space themselves across the front of the church.
I was a split-second too quick with the shutter button, but a car was about
to enter the scene from the right and I couldn't wait any longer.

A Bicycle Built for Two

Recently I was driving in my neighborhood.  I passed a man on a bicycle with his young child on the trailer bike behind him.  It was one of those cute "can't miss" scenes.  So, I pulled my car over, rolled the window down, and waited for him to pass me.

Instead he turned in the opposite direction, pedaling away from me.  I quickly aimed for the rear view mirror and -- voila! -- here is another photo for James' regular Friday feature, Weekend Reflections.

No Names

A couple of days ago, my camera and I were walking on Albany Avenue in the North End, the heart of Hartford's African American community.  This young woman wanted to know why I was taking pictures, so I told her about my blog.  She let me take her photograph, but she didn't want to give her name.  Nor did the other people who lined up for their portraits while I was taking Ms. No Name's photo.

The Chicken Coop

These days daughter Susie and her husband Wes work in Johannesburg but offset the stresses of corporate-type jobs by enjoying a small farm in the countryside on nights and weekends.  They are accompanied by two dogs, three sheep, numerous guinea fowl and -- at the stables next door -- six horses.

That isn't enough.  Here are her latest iPhone photos.  Last weekend work began on constructing a coop so they can add some chickens and have their own fresh eggs.

Believe me, this is not how Susie lived back in West Hartford, Connecticut.  South Africa is a long ways off, in so many ways.

Red Dress 5K Race for Women

The annual Red Dress 5K Race for Women was yesterday.  It began in Elizabeth Park, wandered throughout my neighborhood in West Hartford, and then ended back in the park.  The race draws attention to heart disease in women.  It is always colorful.

*     *     *     *     *

And . . . Ta Da! . . . today I introduce "Naples and Hartford in Season."  These days I spend more time in Florida and on the road than I do in Connecticut.  For a couple of years I have posted Hartford photos from Florida from October through May.  Increasingly I have been including photos from my travels.  As the header indicates, the two anchors of the blog will be Naples, Florida, and Hartford, Connecticut, so now I can be more above-board about posting from wherever I might be.

Regular viewers do not need to change the link.  I am using the same url I used when this blog was Hartford Daily Photo.  But from now on, the blog will have more freedom to travel around with me.  Please fasten your seat belt and join me on life's adventures!

Rose Arches

Three years ago today, the first post on this blog appeared.  I showed a plot of roses in Elizabeth Park, the wonderful municipal park and garden two blocks from my West Hartford house.  No one looked at it and, of course, no one commented.  That was OK.  I just needed something to do after I retired, which had happened six days earlier.

The blog is still here and these days far more people visit every day than I ever expected.  Isn't that cool!

Thanks for visiting and for letting me know what you think.

Applied Relaxation

VP operates a fine blog in Livorno, Italy, that shows benches from around the world.  And Malyss in Nice, France, has a second fine blog about benches.  This is a bench that I saw on a college campus in Providence, Rhode Island, at the end of May.

Wouldn't you love to have the Rheta Martin Chair of Applied Relaxation named after you?  If your name were Rheta Martin, of course.

Out of the Jurisdiction: Venice V

Last week I wrote that my hotel in Venice was just north of Piazza San Marco and overlooked a canal.

Did I also mention that you can arrive and depart in water taxis?  And that you get into the water taxi -- or a gondola -- by crawling through a window in the sitting room?

Locanda Orseolo.

A building's façade is its principal front.  A façade is also a false front
maintained to hide a less desirable scene behind it.
This one is in West Suffield, Connecticut.

On the first day of each month, City Daily Photo bloggers post photos illustrating a theme.
This month's theme is "façade."  To see other interpretations, click here.

      No worries 🙂 I got it last year but I’ve seen it recently (seems like they brought it back in the same colors plus a few others). I’d say I’ve seen it within the past month or so! Try checking other location or just keep an eye out, I notice H&M does restock popular items every so often!

Lasting Memories April 16- Easter Sunday use bunnies, chicks or eggs

Happy Easter Sunday everyone.  I hope the Easter bunny stopped at your house with some special treats.  I'm trying to cut back on the amount of sugar I'm consuming so I decide to treat myself to some new scrapping supplies this spring instead of indulging in a chocolate bunny.
I picked up the Creative memories power palette folders.  Now that I'm doing more kits I like to keep everything together so I don't have to hunt and search for coordinating papers and embellishments.  Next up is creating my own kits from my stash.
Anyway on to this weeks Challenge which is to create a layout using Bunnies, chicks or eggs.
Also don't forget there is plenty of time for  you to play along with our first two spring challenges as well (use flowers, use the word spring)
Here's my Easter layout from April 2015
I used the March jumpstart sketch from TSR, but added a few twist

Super cute bunny from the march  TSR kit "Echo Park- Celebrate Easter/Spring"
 The lined paper in the kit was the perfect place to add journaling to the layout

 and my title piece is salvage from the paper identification strip.
Hope You enjoyed my inspiration.  Please join us over at lasting memories for our Spring Challenges

My Business Cards are Here!

My order of business cards just arrived! They are very simple with just my blog website, my name, and email address. Why did you get business cards you ask? Well, two reasons. First, I plan on handing these out at the Texas Frightmare Weekend convention this weekend to drum up more traffic to my site. But second, and most importantly, I was tired of missing out on all those free lunches restaurants give away! Now I will have something to put in the bowl and I will have a chance to eat lunch for free now! It's my own little economic stimulus plan!

Dear Hayley, as you might know it's valentines day today, I'm sad a bit that that we weren't together on this special day. Just because it's valenttines day dosn't mean that I love you moar my love for you is already at the highest possible level that one person can feel for another person.(I'ts totally super true)
 But I thought I should give you something on this day just to show that I really care for you and really trying to show that little extra that a person that likes a person does to show that person that it likes that person if you catch my drift.
I spent most of this day making you a vallentins day gift so here's a picture of me holding it so you can see it Im also pretending that I'm standing outside your door, although it's hard since you havn't told me where you live, I hope you tell me that in a not to distant future.
Yours sincerely belovedyloved Baconstrap

I am REALLY wanting to see this movie! It is based on the book "The invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick which an AMAZING story with OUTSTANDING illustrations! I loved the book, and when I heard there was a movie I just couldn't contain my excitement ;) from what I've seen in trailers it looks pretty close to the story line, which is a rare occurrence in movies nowadays. I'm hoping I'll get to see it while it's still in theaters, but if not I'm sure I can get it from redbox or somewhere when it's on DVD. so, let me know in a comments if you've seen the movie (or read the book) and what you thought of it!

“Consciously Eating the Foods You Love”

Homemade lasagna. A hot fudge sundae with extra fudge. A crisp kale salad straight from the garden. There’s probably a list of foods that make you sigh with pleasure, just thinking about them. We are so lucky that we get to enjoy what sustains us. And it’s easy to overeat, especially when we are triggered or upset.

How many times have you gotten upset, impulsively gone to the cupboard thinking “I’ll just have a few chips,” and then found yourself a few minutes later mining for the crumbs having eaten the whole bag? It’s easy to eat a whole pint of ice cream when you feel lonely or angry or misunderstood.

Because we have to eat to live, it can be tricky keeping our needs and our desires in balance. Eating patterns can get tangled up with our emotional needs. Unhealthy eating habits become entrenched. We eat when we are tired, when we are angry, or sad, or excited. You don’t have to be overweight to have “issues” with food; chronic undereating can be just as problematic as chronic overeating.

Bottle feeding on a schedule can conditions a baby to routine gluttony and starvation. You quickly learn to gulp your nourishment and finish everything you’re given because it has to carry you until you don’t know when – certainly past your hungry time. As a newborn I was bottle fed on a schedule and later, my parents, who were children of the Great Depression, taught me to eat everything on my plate and never waste food. Now, even though I have plenty, can eat when I need, and want to eat slowly and less, I both gulp my food and have a hard time not finishing everything in front of me – despite having satisfied my hunger. I have a hard time feeling my fullness and stopping appropriately. And I have a lot of company in this pattern.

Impulsive or unconscious eating is often driven by unconscious or unresolved emotional issues. Even though you may love certain foods or revel in the sensuality of taste, overeating comes from a deeper psychological place. It may be an attempt to soothe yourself or to meet needs for nurturing. It may be unconsciously designed to distract or numb yourself so you don’t feel painful emotions that are coming to the surface.[1]

Feeling sad, victimized, helpless, lonely, angry, even simply tired – all are reasons to fuel up or numb down with food.   In his book, In Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think[2] , Brian Wansink describes an array of fascinating eating studies and gives practical tips for eating more consciously and less. Eating from smaller plates that make food portions look bigger and drinking from tall, thin glasses rather than short wide ones helps us consume less because we believe our minds, not our stomachs. The huge portions that have become standard in the American diet contribute to our growing obesity. The 32 oz Big Gulp – that’s not a gulp, that’s a quart of soda! You’ll do yourself a huge favor if you drink water from your Big Gulp container.

Limiting your portions and keeping scrupulous track of everything you eat is a great way to loose weight (and weight loss programs can help you see what you’re eating and how much.) But what about those moments of unconsciousness when you mow down a pint of ice cream or rip into a bag of chips and finish the whole thing? After the rush subsides, you feel terrible. But just as that initial “I need something,“ impulse fades, so does the “I will never do that again” promise to self.

1. Become more conscious of how and when you eat.

Look at portion size, how fast you eat, how you feel as you eat, and your familial and cultural patterns around food.  Also notice what you were feeling just before you impulsively went to the fridge or pulled in to buy a snack. If this is complicated journal or make a chart about your most likely triggers and the ways you succumb to impulsive or self-destructive eating.

  1. Devise strategies to counteract your eating impulses
  • Prepare healthy food ahead of time and keep good choices visible when those cravings and impulses roar loudly.
  • Put hummus; carrot and celery sticks; soaked raw nuts; ready-to-eat fruit; front and center in your fridge or on your desk. Hummus and nuts have protein and fat that satisfy food cravings; carrots and celery are crunchy and help your mouth and jaw work as you chew them well.
  • Frozen grapes or berries can replace ice cream as a cold, sweet go-to. Eaten one at a time, they are very satisfying and can help you regain consciousness about what you are doing.
  • Avoid eating while distracted
  • Don’t eat in front of the TV, computer, or while doing other things. When eating at a new restaurant with friends, focus on your eating.

It’s easy to overeat /undereat where there are many interesting and unknown food choices and/or social distractions and triggers to keep you unaware of your body’s needs.

  • Pay attention to portion size.
  • Use smaller plates that make food portions look bigger and drink from tall, thin glasses helps us consume less because we believe our minds, not our stomachs. Drink water from your 32 oz. Big Gulp container instead of soda – that’s not a gulp, that’s a quart!
  • At a potluck, decide ahead of time that you will try only three or four dishes on your first “pass”; take small portions and stay focused on chewing and breathing. Enjoy your food. Really feel your hunger level before going for a second round. You can socialize after you eat.
  • Eat slower. Put down your utensil between bites. Chew your food thoroughly – to liquid. Really taste the good food you give yourself. I remember watching my 2-yr old friend eat fresh strawberries. Her face was rapt and completely focused as she took her time to enjoy the gorgeous feeling and delightful taste of those berries. I thought “I want to enjoy my food like that!” and I can.
  • This becomes part of an overall re-training and making conscious how you eat.
  1. Practice in easy situations to gain confidence and awareness for the more challenging ones. Trythese strategies at home, when you are relaxed and centered, so you get used to them for the triggered times.
  2. Be patient with yourself. It probably took years to solidify any destructive eating habits you have and they often run emotionally deep. It will take time to retrain yourself and have it stick. This is a long-term plan to increasingly more conscious about your eating.

Fresh healthy food is a gift you give to your body. Conscious eating practices are also an important part of feeding yourself with love. Bon Appetit!

204- Highs and Lows

February has been a good month for me.  It was my "January" if you month of renewed resolve, focus, and determination.  I wanted nothing more then to bust through the 38 pound loss holding pattern I kept gravitating to, and stopping.  I had an AWESOME challenge buddy- seriously, she was so great.  We did pretty regular e-mail check-ins, and I hope those continue, even though our challenge month together is almost up.

So a little preview to how the month went can be summed up in a few of the experiences I had the past 2 days.  I'll do my regular March 1st update with pictures and such, but until then, you get this:

  • My Citizens of Humanity jeans officially fit me.  I'm THIS close to being able to actually wear them in public.  I haven't been able to fit into them like I do now for 7 years.  7 YEARS!
  • I went wedding dress shopping on Saturday and it didn't suck.  I went one month ago in mid-January and it TOTALLY sucked.
  • My inches have changed significantly since January.
  • Just for fun today, I decided to go old skool and bust out a Jillian Michaels Shred video (level 3) it was not even an issue.  I did all the advanced moves, in fact, for one of the moves in level 3 (one arm cleans) I used my 35# kettlebell.  I used to use (1) 8 pound weight.  I think in the video they were using 5 pound weights?!

  • I did the Crossfit Games Open workout #1 (12.1) yesterday in my living room.  I did not sign up for the Open, but I know TONS of people that did.  Facebook posts with numbers of burpees performed were flooding my page.  I was curious, what would my number be? I discovered that the loft in my living room is a perfect 6" above my reach (which is the standard you must jump to at the end of a burpee for it to count).  The majority of people I know got anywhere from 70-120.  I thought 70 was an attainable goal for me, 10/minute.  Oh, how wrong I was.  55.  55 was my sad, sad number.  Actually, that was the impetus for doing the Shred video, I needed an ego boost.  Thanks Jillian, worked like a charm.
  • New LOW weight- ha, maybe this should be a "high" but its a new low, get it?  I'm now 45 pounds down from where I started 2 years ago.  Take that plateau.
So, what did I do this month to kick my butt in gear in addition to all the stuff I have already make habit?

1) one gallon water/day
2) began eating within 30 min of waking (I was waiting 1- or more hours longer and I guess that puts your body in fat storage mode)
3) Eat every 2-3 hours
4) Increased my protein like MAD (about 1g/pound of weight)
5) No sugar, lean protein, low salt
6) Increased veggies like MAD
7) Increased fish oil and added vitamin/amino acid supplements (AA's preserve muscle when working out a lot, also called Branch Chain Amino Acids)
8) Three days of high protein/veg/natural fat (burn days) followed by one day of refueling with carbs (sweet potatoes) but lower fat.

In reality, many of these things weren't new, I started increasing my water intake in January, aiming for a gallon a day.  By the time February rolled around, getting a gallon down was not hard.  For the past year and a half I have been striving to eat a diet that is high in quality protein, getting my carbohydrates from vegetables, no processed foods, and no sugar.  I was unfaltering in this goal the past 24 days (check out my food/exercise log).  I believe I have made much of this list habit, and plan to continue to stick to the list above as much as possible.  If I go to a restaurant, it will be on a "refuel" day.  I do plan on eating a wider selection of meats- um...haven't had bacon in over 3 weeks!?  Ridiculous.   Must rectify soon.  :)

  1. Congrats on your great Feb! I had a totally lackluster month where I drank roo much wine, ate too much fruit and not enough meat and veggies. We are going on vacation this week but as soon as we get back I'm going to refocus and bust my stall (and get rid of whatever I gain on vacation).

    My burpee number was 57 so I'm right there with you!

  2. You have really made some great changes. Congrats and keep going!

  3. So happy for you! Keep up that routine and you're going to see more fat loss!

Cauliflower – great food for detoxification

Cauliflower because of its specific taste and smell is not very favorite foods, especially among children, but this vegetable has great antioxidant properties that may catch you by surprise. It is very rich in nutrients and a great addition to detox treatments.

cauliflower healthy food

Protects against carcinogens. The main reason why we are doing detoxification is get rid of excess toxic substances that accumulate in the body. Nutrients say that cauliflower super star among vegetables when it comes to nutritional value. Specific components that give the specific smell during cooking proven to protect the lungs and stomach by known carcinogens, and are called glucosinolates.

Rich in fiber. Healthy digestion is the most important part of detoxification. Fortunately, cauliflower food is extremely rich in fiber and therefore in a very natural way to clean the body. If you eat more cauliflower, not only will your bowels work to be more easier for you to lose weight.

Poor carbohydrates. When it comes to detoxification carbs are not your friends, so you should eat more cauliflower because it can seamlessly replace foods rich in carbohydrates such as bread, rice, pasta, and from it you can make the pizza crust without the flour.

Reduces the risk of cancerous diseases. Just like the rest of the family kupusarki vegetables, broccoli and brussels sprouts and cauliflower contain ingredients that help to lower the risk of developing certain cancerous diseases. This component is called sulforaphane and found that not only suppresses cancer cells, but also reduces the possibility of hereditary cancer-causing diseases.

Improves performance of seasonings that encourage detoxification. Studies have shown that turmeric has certain anti-cancer qualities, especially when combined with foods containing a substance called phenethyl isothiocyanate, and it is found in many kupusarkama including the cauliflower. When preparing dishes with cauliflower during the detoxification sure to season with a little turmeric.

The perfect substitute for meat. Almost all detox treatments recommended to give up red meat and sugar, and procesuranih dairy products. Cauliflower can be a great substitute for meat and no problem can transform a favorite comforting food.

Rich in antioxidants. In the first place antioxidants are known to protect the body from free radicals that cause cell damage. These magical chemicals naturally found in fruits and vegetables and the cauliflower is very rich in them. Not only is it rich in vitamins C, K and B6, also contains a lot of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, which is a powerful combination for which you should eat it in such large quantities.

It helps the body to cope with infections. Rights detoxification should help the organism to cope with chronic inflammation, whether caused by lack of sleep, stress or poor nutrition. When it comes to the diet, cauliflower should definitely be on top of your list of detox foods. It is an excellent source of vitamin K, which regulates inflammation. Studies have shown that it helps with heart disease, osteoporosis, diseases which are characterized by inflammation.

Helps to prevent the spread of cancer. That weird component that we mentioned earlier, which is an acronym PEITC has a truly amazing properties, including the power to kill cancer cells. When the researchers treated the cells of cervical cancer this component as many as 75 percent died within the first 24 hours.

Simplifies the process of detoxification. Believe it or not, the whole process of detoxification can be a lot easier with cauliflower and thanks to all the powerful substances it contains. If you give up flour, cauliflower you can make a nice crust pizza, if you stop using dairy products from cauliflower you can prepare creamy sauce with garlic, which can spill pasta, gnocchi or chicken. Also with cauliflower you can prepare delicious creamy soup, stew just a couple of potatoes, carrots and flowers that cauliflower. Pour broth and let boil and all the vegetables are soft. Mash, add a little cooking cream and season to taste.

The tree

There is this one cherry tree in our front yard that grows beautiful blooms. I actually got to pick where to plant it and got to help plant it. It has grown a lot since then. That was a long time ago. In 2008 or 2009, it grew the most blooms I had ever seen! Here are some pictures:

Now this year, it bloomed a lot again! It bloomed even more than last time! Pictures:

Post on Stitches today

Hey everyone,
Today I am thrilled and excited to announce that my article is live today on the Stitches Blog. Here is a preview of the post with a link to the rest of the article. Have a blessed day and may God be glorified in your words and your deeds.

Speak. Praise. Love.

"I've been watching you for months. Sort of testing you. You know, trying to figure out if you really are who you SAY you are," my new friend shared openly. "You really do live for Christ. And it has helped me to wake up from my spiritual slumber." she said smiling.

Her words hung boldly in the air as their truth hit me between the eyes. While I rejoiced in her candid honesty, the words of my friend filled me with quiet trepidation. For while she saw the best in me, I was now keenly aware of my many human frailties.

His Creation

Reading: Psalm 139

Today a friend of mine is waiting expectantly to meet her first born child. Throughout the day, I have stopped often to pray for her and her little one on this special day. As I fequently checked for updates on Facebook to keep informed of my friend's progress, I began to recall when I met each my own children.

It amazes me that my three children, as different as they are from one another, are each part of me and my husband. Truly, God imagined each of them and gave my children special gifts and talents to further His kingdom. And their unique personalities were presented even as God knit them together.

Jack, our oldest and only son, is somewhat reserved. Though he has a wonderful sense of humor and a heart full of compassion, Jack is a bit shy when you first meet him. Change is hard for him and Jack cannot be rushed. His delivery was much the same. For over two hours, I pushed to bring Jack into the world. Clearly, he was in no big hurry to embrace the change before him and our son arrived in his own good time.

Lily, our middle child, is fun-loving and poised. She loves clothes, shoes, and I am pretty sure she bleeds pink glitter. And she has been charming the socks off people since she was lying in the nursery. Even, our obstitrician, better known as Dr Grumpy, couldn't resist Lily's sweet ways. "How long has he been your doctor?" a nurse asked me puzzled. "I have never seen him visit a baby in the nursery, let alone smile." Lily has been spreading her special rays of sunshine ever since.

Our youngest, Sofie, is a complex mix of sweetness and independence. Athletic and active, Sofie does not stop moving until she unwillingly collapses in her bed at night. Her quick delivery says it all when it comes to our Sofie. It took no more than 3 hours for Sofie to make her way into the world. In fact, she came so fast, I almost didn't have time to get an epidural. That's our Sofie in a nutshell. She is fast. She is strong. And she is a force with which to be reckoned.

Three precious blessings from Heaven. Each of them "fearfully and wonderfully made". (Psalm 139: 14 NIV) And while the Lord has made plans for all of their days, I pray they will have eyes to see His love in their lives. I pray my children will embrace life and run after God. I pray they will seek His truth and believe His promises. I pray each of them will be led in the way that is everlasting. From their first day on Earth until the day they meet our Savior face to face, may they know they are His creation.

InCourage Guest Post...Look Up!

Today I am being featured as a guest writer for InCourage, part of the Dayspring website, which is a division of Hallmark. I hope you will read the teaser below and then click the link below and check out the rest of the site. Much love and BE ENCOURAGED today!!

Dinner was served. The kitchen was cleaned. Lullabies had been sung and monsters were now triumphantly vanquished from the closet. At long last, my three children were safely tucked in their beds. The day was done. Yet, despite my weary state, I still had to take my evening run. I was tired and it was later than usual. Still, I resolved to keep my wellness commitment and dutifully laced up my running shoes.

As I stepped out into the cool night air, I looked out and let out a massive sigh. A long day, filled with back to school appointments and demands, had left me emotionally and physically weary. Desperate to recharge, I turned on my I-Pod and set out to leave my responsibilities behind.

At first my steps were laborious and seemed to mercilessly beat the pavement. Meanwhile, my mind began to sift events from the day into categories of victory and defeat. “Lord, did I please you today?” my tired heart beckoned.

Here is the link for the rest of the article. Just copy and paste to read on...

Group Of Men Attack Mother And Baby At Walmart, Don’t Realize Their Mistake Until It’s Too Late

Two Good Samaritans risked their lives to help save a mother and her baby after they were attacked in a Walmart parking lot.

Two suspects approached the woman in the parking lot of a Shawnee, Kansas, Walmart and hit her over the head — prompting a Good Samaritan to step in and try to protect her.

The Good Samaritan was shot multiple times by one of the suspects, and another bystander shot back soon after. One suspect was killed, but the other fled the scene.

The mother was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but she was later upgraded to fair condition. The baby was unharmed.

The suspect who fled, 27-year-old Arthur Wyatt, was arrested and charged with attempted first degree murder, attempted aggravated kidnapping and attempted aggravated robbery.

Wyatt was arrested after police initially detained the wrong person — a young man who matched the description of the suspect. That young man’s mother, Janet Lewis, spoke to WDAF about the incident.

“As I come pulling up, I see them arresting my son. I didn’t make it to park the car because as I seen my son, and the police around my only child, I sped up,” she said. “He was a little pissed off. I’m going to put it out there. He was pissed off.”

The Good Samaritan who was shot — a 33-year-old Iraq War veteran — was rushed to the hospital in serious condition. The suspect who was shot and killed was ultimately identified as 28-year-old John Simmons III.

The story quickly went viral, with many readers praising the brave actions of the two Good Samaritans who stepped in to help.

“Thank you to the Good Samaritans who saved this mother and baby. Thankfully, at least one of them had a gun and was able to stop the killing of and innocent mother and her child,” one reader commented on Mad World News’ Facebook page.

**Got to go to a Daughtry concert to celebrate my birthday with a friend. It was awesome!
**Josh and I celebrated our 10th anniversary.
**I finished the majority of my masters program. I am now just working on clinicals and the other pre -requisites for the PhD program that I will be starting in the fall. I guess I just cannot get enough of school!
**Running kids around to their activities, end of the year school stuff, and trying to spend as much extra time with them.

Flavored Coffee Syrup Recipes

  Heather Bullard Coffee Syrup Recipes-201

First off, let me say these recipes could not be easier. Really. Even if your cooking skills are next to nil, you will have success with these simple and fast syrups. And there’s something so fun about making your own, people think you know fancy tricks in the kitchen.
Which obviously will be our little secret.

  Heather Bullard | Coffee Syrup Recipes-103

For this batch, I made 3 flavors: Cinnamon, Vanilla and Almond.
After they are finished cooking I like to pour them in wide mouth mason jars to let them cool.
You can keep them stored in the jars and use a tablespoon to add them to your drinks. But I prefer to put them in bottles for easy pouring. Here are the bottles I used.

Heather Bullard | Coffee Syrup Recipes-101

A couple notes: I don’t strain the ingredients through a sieve or filter. I simply remove the cinnamon sticks and vanilla bean. But as for the small bits of vanilla seeds…I leave them. And usually the vanilla syrup would be clear, but I make my own homemade vanilla extract and the clear extract is imitation which can taste a bit off to me. But you certainly could if you prefer it clear. Personally I like the dark amber color. I have found a pure, organic almond extract here.

Heather Bullard | Coffee Syrup Recipes-106

With the upcoming holidays, it would be great to bring a set of syrups for the hostess.
Or if you’re planning to entertain, they’re nice to set out for guests. You could add cute labels or hang tags to let them know the assorted flavors. And they look so pretty lined up on a coffee bar!

Heather Bullard | Coffee Syrup Recipes-104

Flavored Coffee Syrup Recipes
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water

  • Cinnamon Syrup: 3 cinnamon sticks
  • Vanilla Syrup: 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds removed. 1 Tbs vanilla extract
  • Almond Syrup: 2 Tbs almond extract
  1. Add sugar and water to a heavy sauce pan.
  2. Bring to a low boil, while stirring occasionally.
  3. Continue cooking 8-12 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Remove from stove and let cool.
  5. Cinnamon Syrup: Add cinnamon sticks to first step.
  6. Vanilla Syrup: Add split bean and seeds to first step. Add extract after boil.
  7. Almond Syrup: Add extract after boil.
These will keep 1-2 weeks on the counter or can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.
For a longer shelf stable syrup you would need to use 2 cups of sugar to 1 cup of water and syrup should be kept in a sterilized jar.

PS. Between posts you can find me on Instagram (heatherbullard) sharing highlights of daily life.

Going to the fair!

We spent a crazy eight day (8-8-8) at the Iowa State Fair. Last I knew it was the largest fair in the world (or at least in the U.S.). There must have been over 100,000 people there on 8-8-8. The weather has been awesome for the fair this year! We parked our car at the State Capitol building and rode the shuttle bus to the fair. It saves us a little gas money not having to drive an extra 10 miles round trip. Plus we like taking the shuttle bus. Round trip it cost our family $5 to ride the bus. We took the baby stroller, and although Camden is old enough to walk for long periods it is nice to take to hold our waters, snacks, etc. Neither Cliff nor I were feeling up to carrying him when he got tired. And boy did he! So did we. The heat was a little more than I had expected.

Snavleys said...

You did good getting out of a fair for only $100. Here it is $10 just to get in the door and I think $8 for the kids so that is $44 just to get in for our family. I hate the fair! I try to keep a good attitude about it for the kids though. Glad you had fun:)

Heather's Moving Castle said...

Heidi~ The fair is a bit overpriced. I doubt we'll get to every year now. I was hot and I don't like big crowds. But the kids sure love it.

GRRRR I went in to put away the dishes I had washed earlier only to see I needed to wash the pot again. I washed it two more times, with a scouring pad. And I see it still needs it again. GRRR. But, I got too tired to do it again tonight. I will have to do it again tomorrow. I was hoping to get to clean some of the other dishes in the sink instead of the same one over and over. I think it's mainly the gas residue from the stove that is sticking to it.

Ortiz – Griffin II: A Lesson In Evolution

The first time Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin met in the center of the Octagon, Ortiz was a fierce wrestler with some of the best ground and pound the sport had ever witnessed, while Griffin was a Reality TV star with a penchant for standing in front of his opponents and slugging it out.

More than three years later, the two walked into the center of the Octagon to face each other for a second time and the results illustrated the progression of the sport and the importance of evolving as a fighter.

The days of a one dimensional fighter being able to excel in Mixed Martial Arts are gone; being a superior striker or grappler or boxer isn’t enough to carry you to the top any more. While having a core skill to rely on and build around is as important as ever, bringing a second set of weapons into the cage is the only way to rise to the top.

If last night’s main event was a gunfight, Tito Ortiz pulled out his trusty, old revolver. The only problem for “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” was that while Forrest Griffin also pulled out a revolver, he followed it up with a second pistol and a handful of ninja stars as well.

Ortiz showed that his still has a solid shot and great ground and pound, taking Griffin down on a couple occasions and working him over with fists and elbows from inside his guard like the Tito Ortiz of old.

The problem was standing. On the feet, the Tito Ortiz of old also returned; a guy who can certainly take a punch, but isn’t going to knock anyone out with his mechanical, rigid boxing. Opponents can still sit on a shot, waiting for that moment when Ortiz is going to go for his patented double leg and not be overly concerned with anything else.

On the other hand, the Griffin who earned a place in the hearts of many by trading punches with Stephan Bonnar could still be seen last night, but it wasn’t just Griffin the Brawler standing opposite Tito Ortiz last night.

It was the evolved Forrest Griffin, the guy who began to emerge following his upset loss to Keith Jardine back at UFC 66. Since that time, Griffin the Brawler tightened up his boxing, made leg kicks an integral part of his attack and developed an extremely underrated jiu jitsu game under the watchful eye of Robert Drysdale.

While the Griffin of old would have been content to throw punches and try to defend the takedown, this evolved Forrest still threw hands, but mixed in kicks that kept Ortiz off balance and ate elbows on the ground until he could execute a surprising sweep to reverse Ortiz and get back to his feet in the second round.

From that point forward, it was all Griffin, as the first light heavyweight winner of The Ultimate Fighter repeatedly landed precision punches to a tired Ortiz on way to what was a 10-8 round on this scribe’s scorecard. The difference was evolution.

For all the talk Ortiz did heading into this fight about his improved boxing and the work he had done with famed trainer Freddie Roach, when the cage door closed, the Tito Ortiz of old was still standing inside the Octagon, old school, Team Punishment flaming fight shorts and all. He had a great wrestling base, a strong double leg takedown and some good ground and pound. That trusty revolver was still on his hip and the one weapon he brought with him into battle. The problem was that while the Forrest Griffin standing across the cage from him looked just like the big-eared, smirking slugger who he met three years earlier, this Griffin was different.

He realized a long time ago that one trusty revolver wasn’t enough, so he went out and got a couple more weapons, and he brought them to the cage last night. Forrest Griffin earned the victory last night because he has evolved as a fighter. It’s time for Tito Ortiz to do the same, or else he’ll continue to fall victim to any guy with a second gun and a handful of ninja stars.

Just so we’re clear: we’re talking about metaphorical ninja stars… not the real ones.

Betting House Has Jeff Bridges as 7/1 Favorite to Play David Petraeus

Jeff Bridges, David Petraeus, Paula Broadwell.

Irish and U.K betting house Paddy Power is offering gambler’s odds of 7/1 that The Big Lebowski star Jeff Bridges will portray the former head of the C.IA David Petraeus in a movie about his affair with Paula Broadwell.

Political roles are nothing new to Bridges who previously played the president in 2000’s The Contender, but Bridges’ has never played a part as controversial as Petraeus. Ed Harris and Tommy Lee Jones are joint second favorites at 8/1.

Other notable names in the list:

Sean Penn 9/1

George Clooney 14/1

Tom Hanks 16/1

Robert De Niro 20/1

Sylvester Stallone 20/1

Liam Neeson 40/1

Morgan Freeman 80/1.

On the other side of the story just who is going to play alleged homewrecker and biographer Paula Broadwell? The current front runner is Million Dollar Baby star Hilary Swank. She is being offered at odds of 5/1 for the role which already sounds like prime Oscar bait, something Swank loves.

The other names on the list for the role of Broadwell are:

Jennifer Connolly 10/1

Charlize Theron 12/1

Julianna Moore 12/1

Julia Roberts 20/1

Nicole Kidman 20/1

Halle Berry 20/1

Sofia Vergara 40/1.

Gamblers can only bet singly on who will play who (i.e you can’t bet on BOTH Jeff Bridges and Hilary Swank taking the leading roles and doubling you odds). The bet applies to “the first movie about the David Petraeus/Paula Broadwell affair scandal to be released in UK/US cinemas”.

The other odds being offered regarding a potential movies are the release dates. The favorites being 2016 or 17 are both 9/2. You can get odds of 20/1 that we see the film in 2013. If there is no movie made by 2017, all bets are void.

Plastic Card Container Number

Credit card container Number is actually a Visa bank card or it is also several that concerns a different sort of plastic card. The most popular US plastic card bin Number is that has sixteen numbers which the truth is will be the major quantities and that happen to be shown on top of the minute card. So, for those who have a Find out credit card or perhaps a Master card, you can be positive that it is bank card container # contains 07 digits.

National Communicate

American Communicate is the exclusion since it is credit cards with a card container Number that comprises of just 20 digits. However, despite the fact that credit card bin Number can be of the size, it it is confirmed in the same way.

How to get the greeting card variety?

Regular bank card container # comprises of half a dozen digits what are prefix variety of each charge card. These six digits are known as the financial institution Recognition Number or Trash can. These six digits have been there to inform the Trash can repository that they represent the circle to which the greeting card connected and also to the lender which has released the greeting card. Container was also referred to as IIN or Issuer Id Quantity along with the latter tends to make complete technique special prefix that recognizes the card sort.

Credit card bin # is from the whole credit card number which in turn features its own framework and thus each the cardboard bin Number and real credit card amount have a very plan of numbering that’s present with the two.

The prefix from the credit card quantity contains the initial digit of the credit card amount revealing the community to which the cardboard connected. It can be profitable to consider how the cardboard trash can # is made up in greater detail. By way of example, if your card sort is American Convey then it’ll have 20 numbers in all to produce up its charge card range. The prefixes employed are twenty five-a number of and twenty five-several.

If the minute card belongs to BankCard, then along the credit card quantity is 16 as well as the prefixes are 560 and 561. Even JCB a credit card has fifteen number plastic card quantities though the prefix (occasionally) is 1800 or 2131. There is also a JCB charge card with 16 digit bank card figures and prefix of 3.

The greeting card bin Number is in fact made up of the 1st half a dozen digits of the credit card quantity. This plastic card rubbish bin Number helps in identifying the issuer with the minute card. In some instances, the greeting card bin Number is the term for an issuer which includes limited the charge card quantities in a manner that when checked will show that how the final digit with the prefix is employed to only verify the initial digits.

With such forms of plastic card trash can Number, it’s not at all very easy to develop plastic card quantities looked after helps in making it easier to document the cardboard amount into a Rubbish bin repository with increased accuracy and reliability.

Top iphone Apps

I thought I'd make a list of the things I'm impressed by on the iphone at the moment. Blackberry and Palm Pre users please look away now. All these things are free, and I heard about them on tech head sites like Wirefresh and Gizmodo.

- Tweetdeck. I'm an unashamed twitterholic and this newly updated widget makes it all so easy. And if you set up an account it syncs with the version on your desktop. .

-Sky News. It makes me grit my teeth to say this but their app works brilliantly. But they should incorporate their bloggers to make it rule utterly.

- NY Times. Their net offering works better on the iphone than it does on the web. Authoritative US journalism delivered to your phone.

- I'm also trying out Zen News which is an original graphic take on the world's headlines. Not convinced by it yet though. .

- TV Guide. The UK TV listings at your fingertips. Very handy when you need to sort your reality viewing.

- The Trainline. Tried this rail timetable tool out while we were walking down in Sussex at the beginning of the week and needed some train times from Haslemere. Simple to use and worked brilliantly...and it's free unlike its competitor, National Rail Enquiries, which was still £4.99 when I checked this morning.

- Currency. Handy little thing for working out how much the bill is in Sterling when you're travelling. Quietly pops onto the net to find out how the pound is doing so it's always up to date.

- Kayak. Its designers say this finds the cheapest flights from wherever you are to wherever you need to go. Looks on a number of sites, including that of Easyjet apparently. And it has an option to book a car and a hotel at the other end. I'm quite impressed but I think I'd still feel happier doing that sort of high cost operation on my PC.

- Rightmove. Watching houseprices rise and fall is my guilty pleasure.

- Speedtest. A bit nerdy this. Basically it's a handy little program which measures the speed of your net connection. It's also available on the web which is handy when lambasting your ISP over low bandwidth.
