How I love thee, let me count the ways

Today I would like to spot light my husband.
Hehe, I still love saying the word husband.
~Now before I get started let me start by saying just because your husband is the knight in shining armor and he may make theses points look like nothing, I am very happy with my husband and he makes me smile everyday.~
Chris has really stepped up'd to the husband plate the last couple of days. here are a few examples of why I am falling in love all over again.
  • Chris surprised me at work on valentines day with a teddy bear, balloon, candy and even a card...awwww how sweet.
  • He is way more involved with this pregnancy. Alanna was his 1st and even though he was excited, Chris and I were not in the best place in our relationship and it was rocky for a while. This time around we are a happily married couple and really enjoying our family.
  • Saturday night I lost my phone in Chris' brothers car. His brother lives about an hour and a half away..Chris drove all the way out there to get my phone with NO complaints.
  • Friday my car started to overheat on the way home from work. A family friend came to look at it Sunday, all the auto parts stores were closed..I was advised NOT to drive my car..(the thermostat was shot), Chris drove me way out of his way to take me to work and then went to work himself...NO complaints...he also picked me up way earlier than he would have gotten off of work himself, again no complaint
  • The same family friend fixed my car Monday night however he was late coming over..Chris started to go online to see how to become Mr mechanic fix it in about 5 minutes, when said family friend showed up and saved the day.

These are just some of the things, my hubby has done, to make my days seem brighter. I am not a needy woman, the smallest things in life make me happy. Thanks honey, I Love You.

  1. It's the little things that count the most! What a guy!

  2. Sounds like you've got yourself a great guy there!!

  3. Awwww what a great hubby!!!

UPDATED 06/06/12 – 4:11 p.m.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago Police and the Independent Police Review Authority are investigating, after an officer used a stun gun on a pregnant woman, after she tore up a parking ticket during an argument with police in the Roseland neighborhood.

Police confirmed there was an incident at 103rd Street and Michigan Avenue, in the parking lot of a Walgreens, around 8:25 p.m. Tuesday. They said two adults were arrested, and police used a stun gun on a woman during the incident.

But the woman, 30-year-old Tiffany Rent, said police had no cause to use a stun gun on her, and that police were verbally abusive after shocking her.

LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports

At eight months pregnant, Rent said she was still in pain as she left South Misdemeanor Court, behind the Area South police headquarters, at 727 E. 111th St.

Her sister, Sharita Rent, said Tiffany was trying to console her young daughter when she pulled into the handicapped space in the Walgreens parking lot, but that police pounced the minute she pulled in.

“She pulled up in a handicapped space. The police came behind her, and she said they blocked her in. She asked them, were they writing her a ticket, and they told her yes,” Sharita Rent said. “She tried to explain to them what happened, as far as her little getting out of the car, and her trying to calm her down and console her, and the guy gave her a ticket for $200. She ripped the ticket up, tore it in half, and threw it on the ground.”

CBS 2’s Jim Williams reports Tiffany Rent admitted a police officer gave her a ticket for parking in the handicapped spot, and she tore it up, but she insisted that what came next was not justified.

“I got scared, and closed the door. I didn’t hit him. I didn’t mean to harm him, or anything. He Tasered me through the window,” she said.

She was taken to Roseland Hospital, where she claims other officers mocked her.

“They were laughing. They said … I know she’s pregnant. Then one of the other officers said I deserve it. Another officer said, ‘Go get Jesse Jackson,’” she said. “They were all laughing, like it was so funny.”

The police report alleges Rent cursed the officer and threw the shredded ticket in his face, then tried to drive off, despite the officer’s warning that she not move.

Police Supt. Garry McCarthy would only say the incident is being investigated, but did describe why an officer – theoretically – might have used a stun gun.

“First of all, you can’t always tell if somebody’s pregnant. You want to use it where you’re overcoming an assault, or preventing escape,” he said.

He added, “That policy has been in effect for quite some time. Whether or not the policy has been adhered to is going to be examined separately from the investigation into the use of force.”

Tiffany Rent was ticketed for illegally parking in a handicapped spot and charged with misdemeanor resisting arrest and simple assault. Also arrested was Joseph Hobbs, Rent’s boyfriend and the father of the child, who scuffled with officers. He was also charged with resisting arrest and simple assault.

Rent was taken to Roseland Community Hospital, and it appeared that the baby was unharmed, police told the Tribune. But Rent has lost three babies in the past, her family told the Chicago Tribune.

Rent’s mother said she can’t believe her daughter deserved to be stunned.

“She’s a nice, caring, giving person. Yeah, she’s real sweet. She’s real sweet. That’s what I don’t understand why they would do that to her,” Tonie Rent said.

McCarthy said the Independent Police Review Authority is investigating Rent’s complaint of excessive force. As part of that investigation, the IPRA is looking at surveillance video from the Walgreen’s parking lot.

License Suspensions

California Child Support License Suspensions
Scales of Justice

License Suspensions

If the County believes you are behind on your child support obligation, they will initiate a suspension of any state-issued license that you MAY have.

Most cases involve driver’s licenses; however, your business or occupational license can also be suspended. For instance, we have seen cases involving contractor’s licenses, cosmetology licenses, security guard licenses; and even the licenses of doctors and lawyers.

If the County is taking action to suspend your license or if your license is already suspended, you need to take action right away.

Under California law, the Court is required to take your financial circumstances into account. If your case is properly presented to the Court, there is no reason that you should not be able to keep (or regain) your license.

In one of our cases, the client worked as an independent truck driver, earning less than $27,000 per year. The County suspended his driver’s license, saying he was behind on his child support, and would not even consider releasing his license unless he first came up with $6,000 – – just as a down-payment; plus the County wanted more than $500/month toward back child support.

In presenting his case to the Court, we detailed the client’s particular financial circumstances. This included the fact that the client was supporting two young children. We also impressed upon the Court that without a driver’s license, the client would obviously no longer be able to work as a truck driver; and this would then likely lead to his current family ending-up on some form of government assistance.

At the hearing, the Court ordered that the client’s driver’s license be returned to him. The license was released without the requirement of any down-payment. The client was only required to pay $250/month (instead of $500/month that the County was requesting) toward the back child support.

If you are in danger of losing your license (or if you have already lost your license), you should take action immediately.

If you believe that you may be entitled to legal relief, you may set up a consultation by emailing us or calling (310) 479-2441.

5 Travel Blogs you need to follow right away!

Travel blogging has now become a career for many nomads out there. They are the one who survive on travelling, and breathe in and out on different countries and continents. They are the one who are on road all the year round. I know they make me jealous as well. But there are many of them currently to keep a track of them. So here are the 5 best travel blogs who would give you an insight of the world through your screens. Check out this 5 travel blogs and start following them right away.

1.The Blonde Abroad

Kiersten’s site focuses on the intersection of fashion and travel. She gives tips and advice for women on what wear, pack, and see while overseas and focuses more on higher-end, comfort travel than I do. Her blog is one of the best for female travellers.

2.Hey Nadine

This popular YouTube channel by Nadine Sykora documents her experiences as she travels around the world. Nadine’s zany, nerdy take on travel makes her videos entertaining to watch! She’s funny, smart, and a bit awkward, but her film-making style really puts you there in the destination with her. There’s a reason she’s one of the biggest travel channels on YouTube!

3. Skift

This is my go-to resource for all travel-related news and industry information. It breaks stories and provides detailed analysis on the latest trends in travel, on both the business and consumer sides of the industry. If you love travel as much as I do and think listening to what CEO’s have to say about revenue and consumer tastes is fun, this is the only website that’s worth reading.

4. Nomadic Matt

Started in 2006, Nomadic Matt is a website you would land upon while you are on road. He lists down the cheap ways to travel and how to travel with $50 a day.

5. Migrationology

Mark blogs about food, especially Asian food. He’s a food guru when it comes to all things Southeast Asian and has detailed information on where to eat and what to order throughout the region. But more than that, he tells the story of the place and its culture through the food he’s eating. It’s not just about what dishes to order — it’s about how food has shaped culture and vice versa.

Low Cholesteral Diet

Were you looking for information on a Low Cholesterol Diet? Low cholesteral diet is a common misspelling of low cholesterol diet.
When healthcare providers recommend a low cholesterol diet, they are talking about a diet that includes plenty of plant-based products (such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes) and limited amounts of animal-based products and certain fats (such as saturated fats and trans fats).
In most cases, a diet for healthy cholesterol provides at least three to five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. These foods are low in saturated fat and total fat, and have no cholesterol. Breads, cereals, rice, pasta, and other grains, as well as dry beans and peas, are generally high in starch and fiber, and low in saturated fat and calories. They also have no dietary cholesterol, except for some bakery breads and sweet bread products made with high-fat, high-cholesterol milk, butter, and eggs. Like fruits and vegetables, naturally low-fat, low-cholesterol breads and other foods in this group are also good choices as part of a healthy diet.
(Click Low Cholesterol Diet for more detail about the elements of a low cholesterol diet, as well as its potential health benefits. You can also click on any of the links in the box to the right for more specific information.)

Raise HDL

Weight Loss

Being overweight or obese (see BMI Calculator) is often associated with high triglycerides and low HDL. Frequently, weight loss alone can significantly raise HDL levels. Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight through diet and regular exercise is important in managing low HDL levels.

Quitting Smoking

Smoking cigarettes lowers HDL levels. Cigarette smoking is also a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. A recent study suggests that passive smoking ("secondhand smoke") also decreases HDL. Quitting smoking can increase HDL and lower the risk for heart disease.

Does Alcohol Affect HDL?

Moderate alcohol intake can improve HDL levels, but it does not lower LDL cholesterol. Research studies have shown that HDL can be raised, on average, by 4.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) with moderate alcohol consumption.
(Click Alcohol and High Cholesterol for more information.)

Medications That Can Raise HDL

For someone whose levels are low, the first recommended treatment for increasing HDL is lifestyle changes. By making such changes, many people are able to have their HDL raised to a "normal" level without the use of medications.
Some cholesterol medications used to lower LDL can also increase HDL. Studies using statins have reported a modest 5 to 10 percent increase in HDL levels. Nicotinic acid has been shown to increase HDL levels by 15 to 35 percent. Fibrates have been shown to raise it by 10 to 15 percent.
Estrogen tends to increase HDL as well. This is one reason why it is thought that premenopausal women are protected from heart disease. In fact, in studies where women took estrogen, HDL was raised by up to 10 percent. However, estrogen is currently not a recommended treatment for improving HDL because of the increased risk of developing certain diseases and conditions (see Hormone Replacement Therapy for more information).

VLDL Cholesterol

What Is the Purpose of VLDL Cholesterol?

VLDL cholesterol is produced in the liver in response to a high-carbohydrate meal. The liver converts the extra carbohydrates into fat (triglycerides) and puts them into VLDLs to be transported to fat cells and muscle within the body. The liver also puts some cholesterol into the VLDL. A VLDL particle is rather large, carrying a lot of triglycerides relative to the amount of cholesterol.
Once a VLDL particle delivers its triglycerides to fat cells or muscle, it is called an intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL). This IDL can return to the liver with its cholesterol so that the liver can repackage it to use it later or simply get rid of it. But in most cases, the IDLs remain in the blood and go through another transformation where they lose most of their remaining triglycerides. At this point, the IDLs are almost all cholesterol and are now known as LDLs. About three-quarters of total cholesterol in the blood is contained within LDL particles.

Causes of Elevated VLDL Cholesterol Levels

Several conditions are known to increase VLDL cholesterol, including:
Alcohol and birth control pills can also increase VLDL cholesterol levels.

What Are the Effects of Too Much VLDL?

High levels of VLDL are thought to play a role in atherosclerosis, which is narrowing and hardening of the arteries.

Reducing VLDL Cholesterol

Research studies have shown that VLDL cholesterol can be lowered through:

Baby goes to Prom!

The baby Skippy just before he picks up his date.
I have had mixed feelings about all of these "lasts."
The last football game, the last regional choir
concert, the last wrestling match, now the last
Prom. In one way it is a relief to have "nearly"
raised five amazing sons! On the other hand, I
think we will have to get really involved in the
grandkids life, because ours will be boring!

Skippy and his date Leesha Inman. The traditional
flower pin on.

Classic Prom Pose #1

Classic Prom Pose #2 I insisted on a couple of the
"classic" shots - it is just where it's at! Also, the
boys appreciate that we have taken all dance
pictures in the very same location for all of these
years and all of the many dances.

Wrestling Banquet

The Mom's got together and made shadow boxes
for each of our boys. They have their medals in them,
their varsity letter, pictures and of course their
cruise card!

Skippy got a great award! The "Card Table"
Award. He made this custom table so they could
play cards on the bus. He passed it down to
Cody Bell for next year after signing it. He also
received the "Team Captain" award for being a
great leader on the team. In four years of wrestling,
he never missed a practice.

Cole Butler and the Kenneth and Roy Owens helped
cook the great dinner along with Mark Butler, and

Salt Lake City & Conference

We had the opportunity to go to General Conference this past weekend. We had a wonderful time! Originally we were going to drive up on Thursday and home on Sunday. As it turned out Chris was able to borrow the company's new plane and we flew to Salt Lake. We knew that Gary and Darlene and Garrett Perkins were also going up so we invited them to ride along. It only took 2 1/2 hours to fly, compared to 10 to drive - what a great trade off! We were able to attend the solemn assembly on Saturday morning in the conference center. It was a magnificent meeting and we felt very fortunate to attend that historic event. It was great seeing Kenny and Leslie and being able to visit - here is a picture story of the weekend!

The pilot and co-pilot ready for take-off!

Skippy wanted to actually get on the horse.

We didn't think they would appreciate that.

The group eating at PF Changs compliments
of Gary Perkins - thanks Gary!

Leslie gave us a little recital in preparation for her
big Junior recital this weekend. She is amazing!

We celebrated Kenny's birthday while we were there.
He said the outift might be a little small :)

We fulfilled Kenny's dream of going to this
authentic Spanish cuisine restaurant for his birthday.
The next picture shows the pretty food!

On our way into the conference center. We snagged a
total stranger to take the picture for us.

Kenny was a bit mad because you aren't supposed
to take pictures in the conference center - we figured
it was over - it wouldn't matter too much.

Boredom at Olive Garden waiting for a table

Ready for the short trip home. Notice the red

This is the Start of Vlogging

More requests are coming from our clients to have video. Some are even expecting video as part of their campaigns. While we have a fantastic video team, I was a bit shaky to understanding the marketing side of video, particularly optimizing YouTube channels.  We’ve used YouTube to upload videos in the past to fuel campaigns and web content, but making a channel a success is unknown territory right now.

After “doing research” and learning content styles (yes, that translates to watching a ton of videos) from the top channels on YouTube I feel much better.  While some have a serious cinematic background with viral videos already in tow, others have built a brand around consistent uploads and daily content.

capture the moment and start vlogging

The blog has been a love and guilty pleasure for years, it won’t stop. Vlogging feels like the right next step.  Way to many times I’ve been stuck wanting to share parts of conversations or advice I’ve given to clients.  While that turns into a great title or subject, it can’t be written quite like capturing the moment.  Being a Dad now, Jeanette and I also thought this would be a great way to improve catching moments as Melia grows up.

Enjoy.  Let me know what you think, please subscribe and I’ll take any advice you have about vlogging.

Book review: The Peripheral, by William Gibson

posted: May 21, 2017

tl;dr: A technically astute futuristic thriller with much to say about where humanity may be headed...

William Gibson is not interested in technology for its own sake, but more so in how people use it and incorporate it into their lives, and ultimately in what impact it has on humankind. In The Peripheral Gibson does describe many fascinating, seemingly plausible, future devices and systems, based on advances in nanotechnology, drones, 3-D printing, pharmaceuticals, telepresence, implants, prosthetics, artificial intelligence, gaming, cloud computing, bioengineering, remote controls, and high-speed broadband. He uses these advances in technology to construct a thriller of a plot line involving time travel that holds the reader’s interest throughout. However what this reader will remember most about The Peripheral are the conjectures Gibson makes about future society.

In the social realm, Gibson projects various trends that are already underway: income inequality and the resulting bifurcation of society; the death of rural America where few opportunities exist for the residents (mainly illegal drug manufacturing, military service, Wal-Mart, and hustling); the technology-enabled surveillance state; and a political ruling class which is distancing itself further from the masses and which operates in service to (and partnership with) wealthy oligarchical families. In the future as portrayed in The Peripheral the world is ruled by kleptocrats who control all levels of government: basically, the model of Putin’s Russia gets adopted worldwide (n.b. The Peripheral was published in 2014, two years before the 2016 U.S. presidential election). Add to these social trends some geological and biological trends including climate change and loss of biodiversity, and it might appear that Gibson’s vision of the future is entirely bleak.

Yet science and technology continue to advance, sometimes in frivolous ways, but also in ways that minimize or eliminate the problems facing mankind, especially given the creative ways that people use technology. Gibson describes many technological marvels in The Peripheral including a form of time travel that involves information flow. At the same time that some people are time traveling, plenty of others are suffering. As Gibson famously said, “the future is already here - it’s just not very evenly distributed”. It is this dichotomy that preoccupies Gibson, and that might indeed be the key determining factor as to whether mankind survives long-term.

The science in The Peripheral seems more plausible than most science fiction. Time travel happens not by moving atoms (objects) across time but by sending information; it is effectively communication rather than transportation, which in general is much easier. I never liked the Star Trek “Beam me up, Scotty” version of travel, because figuring out the exact state of all the atoms that comprise an object, then transferring that state information and the atoms, and then reassembling all the atoms at the destination seems unfathomably complex and probably impossible because of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. In The Peripheral time travel creates a multiplicity of universes (timelines or continua), with input from the future changing the path of the present such that it branches and is no longer on the continuum that produced that future state because the present state is now different. This makes much more sense that the “Back to the Future” version of time travel, wherein physical objects in the future fade away as the past events which produced them start to become uncertain; this violates the laws of physics, specifically the conservation of mass-energy, as matter cannot just disappear. So kudos to Gibson for envisioning some more believable science.

The Peripheral proceeds at a break-neck pace from page one. Gibson throws the reader right into the action without any preliminaries, meaning that the reader will immediately have to start assembling the pieces into some sort of coherent whole. Later, as more context is revealed, it becomes clearer what was happening at the beginning and what the primary storyline actually is. Eventually, it all does make sense. I certainly won’t spoil the ending except to say that, thanks to the forking of time that occurs as a result of time travel, there are many possible futures based on today’s present state.

Convention Swaps

Each year, Stampin’ Up! holds a convention for all its demonstrators and this year it was in Melbourne. Much of the fun of going to convention is to be able to swap cards with other demonstrators…these are the cards I made for swaps this year.

I really loved the butterfly card so I made it in 2 different colour combinations- purples and orange/rust. The other card is one of my first attempts at the vintage look.

WOW, how time flies!!!

I can't believe I have forgotten about my blog!!! With facebook out there now, people just post what they are doing. But, with a blog you can tell a story and design your site however you want to. Facebook just seems so impersonal...that's why I'm going back to blogging.

As you can see we now have two beautiful girls, Claire (2 1/2 years) and Avery (6mo). They've been such a joy and we don't know what we would do without them! Jeff is about a year into PA school now and he's doing great. His hard work and studying are paying off with his straight A's!

I still teach 9th grade English and I'm now the Varsity Cheer Coach. It can be stressful but it's fun.

I hope you all out there are doing well and we will keep you posted!!! Love you all!!!

Weekend Slice!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Blessed Yule, Merry Merry!

Anyway you slice it, the warmth and joy in your heart that this time of year brings is a great feeling to have. Here's hoping all of you have had some wonderful quality time with your family, friends and community.

I've got a great sale going on here at the gallery! Everything in the gallery is 20% off for this weekend only. Over 30 artists are represented in the gallery. All the artists at Studio C are known to me either locally, regionally or by way of my friends' or my own travels.

We have local landscape art cards, JR Gilstrap prints and the memorial 18 month calendar(2009-2010), leather gift tags, natural goat milk soaps, naturally scented soy based candles, stained glass mobiles, wind chimes, a gorgeous stained glass window, antique bottle ornaments, fused glass earrings & window hangings, slumped glass candle screens, hand blown glass ornaments, and vases, bead bracelets, necklaces and earrings, pottery, poetry, books, music, pastels, imported hand-batiqued t-shirts, star flowers, archival photo prints, fresh-roasted, freshly ground fair-trade gourmet coffee beans and chocolate, Father Christmas dolls, accent pillows, incense(Nag Champa), sweet grass braids, watercolors, landscape prints on canvas, and…more!

Your patronage supports an array of artisans and artists and of course the dreamer who believes that an ArtSpace in the middle of nowhere is a great idea. That dreamer just happens to be an artist too. Thus, I'm building my model on an artisan/artist-first framework. What I'm building here, with the help of so many talented individuals is an oasis for the imagination. Can you think of a finer reason to choose to shop here? By shopping here you are making a stand for beauty, innovation, independence, freedom and creativity! You are actively engaged in community and economic development here in Union County New Mexico. Studio C is where creativity grows. Come on in and feel it yourself.

I'll be stoking my own creative fires in January. Studio C will be open by appointment only for the first 4 weeks of 2009. We are taking a winter break. That will give me a chance to work on some ideas I've had percolating for months now but haven't been able to attend to. It all feeds into the ongoing plans for creating a thriving business here in Des Moines, New Mexico, the place my husband Tim Keller and I have adopted as our home. We've been here over nine and a half years. Each new day is an affirmation of the rightness of our move.

Speaking of Tim, his gorgeous framed archival prints are currently hanging in the gallery. This would be a great weekend to come visit the gallery and take one home with you!

My friend Nancy the nurse stopped in on Tuesday and asked me how Tim & I ended up in Des Moines. She heard the whole story and the telling reminded me of the faith in dreams that brought us to this beautiful landscape. It comes as no surprise to me that so many of the people who live here are blessed with a deep respect for the land and its beauty. Nancy is a relative new-comer too and has been very successful in helping to bring a school-based health center to our town. There is so much opportunity here. It is great fun to be part of a new blooming that is happening in the area.

As you can imagine, part of the bloom involves the arts. The Raton Arts & Humanities Council is one of two local arts councils in our area. Drive 38 miles west of Des Moines to get to Raton, New Mexico, at the crossing of I-25 and highways 64/87. It is a small town of just over 6500 people. There is a bustling arts community which is striving to bring arts-based economic development to our area. They are currently engaged in application for Arts & Cultural District designation for the downtown area. Gaining this status will be a big step towards increased visibility on the arts map. I invite you to visit their gallery in Raton: The Old Pass Gallery. Then come on east to visit me here. I will be here all weekend after which I'll be happy to open by appointment during my winter break.

One last bit of news... I am expanding our regular hours! When we open on January 29th our regular hours will be Thursday-Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Sunday's noon - 4:p.m. I'm always open by appointment if you are coming through town Monday through Wednesday.

I plan on keeping my blog updated weekly during my break so keep watching for news and cool links to follow... use your browser's back button to return to the post. I'll keep you updated with what I'm up to. Don't forget that I'd love to hear from you! Please leave a comment.

Blessings & Beauty,

Wintertime Income for Landscape Contractors

Landscaping is a job with many benefits. 2 of the biggest benefits are making a lot of money during the summer months and being able to work outdoors. Although there is a lot of money to be made during the summer, for many landscapers the money virtually stops flowing during the winter months. This means landscape contractors have to find other ways of making money. Here are some ideas for winter time income for landscape contractors.
There are a few different ways landscape contractors can make money during the offseason. One of the best ways is by installing Christmas lights for people. This can be done for both residents and businesses. It actually fits right in with a landscaping business because the landscape contractor can use the same work crews and already has a large client base to market to.
Believe it or not, installing Christmas lights is very profitable. There are a lot of people who love to have their home or business decorated for the holidays but they dont have the time, the will or the skill needed to do it well. These are people who are more than willing to pay to have their Christmas lights installed for them. They Ãre also people who hire a landscaper to get their lawn done. And thats why installing Christmas lights is the perfect add-on service for landscapers.
Landscape contractors do need to begin to market and plan their Christmas light installation service early in the summer. They should start with the existing clients that they have. For example, a landscape contractor could have a basic brochure printed and pass it out to every customer. With the brochure could be a coupon for a percentage off for existing clients who sign-up to have their Christmas lights installed before September 15th.
Not only should the marketing be done early, everything involved with the Christmas light installation business should be done as soon as possible This includes retaining or even hiring employees and ordering materials such as Christmas lights and decorations. Most Christmas light distributors raise their prices as the holidays get closer. So landscape contractors can save themselves a lot of money by ordering their lights and materials early.
Landscaping and installing Christmas lights really do fit together very well. They are both jobs that involve outdoor work yet they need to be done at different times of the year. Most importantly, many of the same people who hire landscapers are also interested in hiring someone to install their Christmas lights. So, any landscape contractors that decide to install Christmas lights will find that the transition is very smooth as well as profitable.
There are many benefits to being a landscape contractor. However, there is a major drawback too. That drawback is the fact that during the winter months there is usually no work to be done and most companies are forced to lay of most of their employees. Thats why the perfect business for landscape contractors is installing Christmas lights. Landscape contractors just have to make sure they start planning the business in the early on and that all the plans are done by late September. Then the landscaper can begin to install lights sometime around Halloween. This will allow the landscape contractor to make a lot of money during the winter time.

Hi my name is Kim and I am a recovering bigot and ignorant sole…once was the day I agreed abortion was a woman choice…sole choice…once was ...

Sunday, October 25, 2009

being me...

U look tired…u have changed so much…u just do not seem yourself…comments that have frequented conversations lately…it is amazing to me that people have such a problem with empathy and/or understanding…I understand people not knowing what to say to a point… or how to react to me or my family…but Down Syndrome is not a disease you catch…it is not something to fear…I am tired…and I am not myself…I am tired because I have an infant child…that thinks she needs to talk in the middle of the night…I am tired because I am worried about her breathing, temperature, and just overall health…I am tired because I am carrying extra weight…I am tired because I have a daycare that keeps me on my feet all day…and I am tired because I also have a vivacious 4 year old…like any other mother…that has children…I am not myself…gone are the days… of that cannot happen to me…10 short months ago…my world changed…probably for the better…but it changed…who loves change…especially when you did not ask for it or want that change…I am not myself because I thought that I could handle anything…I am not myself because I have had to become more aware of my surroundings…who I let in to my world… I am not so eager to meet new people or keep in touch with old friends…that cannot help in my world…I realize this sounds selfish…but I have to be…I am a mother first…and a friend second…this may change as my role in this world changes…but for now I am not myself…I am searching for me…when you have a diagnosis of this magnitude…that you cannot change or fix…it humbles your entire being…I will live with a person born with Down Syndrome that I created for the rest of my life…I am frustrated that I will never fully understand what Maddox will feel and endure…I am different and I have changed…but I am better, stronger, and more clear then I have ever been…it is amazing when you are challenged this much…how stupid things no longer matter…but again I think this would be the case if I had given birth to a “normal” child…

  1. I can really relate to this post. For a while it seemed like everyone in my life was watching me to see how I was "holding up"... "You're not yourself"... I know I'm not. I will never be that self again. I am in love with someone that the world will never see through my eyes.. how can that not change me forever?

    It is nice to know, though, that I am not alone in this new space.

  2. I remember very well when Gabe turned 10 months old. It was February 2006, and winter seemed to be gripping the city, and I was just coming down from the anxiety that escalated to no end from his heart surgery that took place the October before.

    When I found my footing, I realized how deeply tired I was. And I don't have other children, nor do I run a large daycare. (Only recently, I take care of a 20 month old boy.) I'm still fairly tired out, too. Gabe turns five in April.

    I just wanted to say that please make sure to take good care of YOU. Yes, you are a MOM first. Any good friend would recognize that...but it is important that you make time for yourself.♥

I never get tired of reading the happy ending of Joseph’s story beginning in Genesis 44. I love stories with a happy ending. This one is the best. Not only does Joseph’s early childhood dreams come true as he rules not Just over 07 happilyEgypt, but in effect, over the whole known world. He saves his whole family, as well as much of the world, from the famine and he is reunited with his family. That’s the best part! His brothers plotted his murder and sold him as a slave. He had every reason to, and justification, to strike back in vengeance and “get even” or “ahead.” But that would not have constituted a happy ending at all.

But instead, he tested their repentance. He recognized that they were indeed sorry for their deed, and had changed because now they would not desert their little brother Benjamin. Joseph wept with joy and fell upon them! That means he hugged and kissed them all! But the real happy ending is Joseph’s recognition of God’s hand in it all!

In his complete forgiveness of them, Joseph says, “But don’t be upset and don’t be angry with yourselves.” This was because Joseph was not angry with them. He goes on in Genesis 45:5, “And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.” Once our sins have been confessed and forgiven we need not look back at them with remorse and regret as we often do. I will toss and turn sometimes over my past, sometimes as recent as yesterday, but that is not from God. I often “get distressed and angry with myself” over failures in my walk with the Lord, but He doesn’t want me to do that anymore than Joseph wanted his brothers to. The purpose of all that suffering Joseph went through was to “preserve life.” Please notice that! I don’t think Joseph is more gracious than the Lord, Himself, do you? So with the past forgiven and the relationships restored, indeed there is a sense in which we can say “And they lived happily ever after!” We too can have that ending tagged on to our lives as well. John 3:15 says, “Everyone who believes in Him will have everlasting life.” Doesn’t that sound like “and they lived happily ever after?”

Horse and Buggy Ride to Dinner in Davos Switzerland

Navigating Skiing in Davos-Klosters with Kids

When many people hear the name Davos, the first thing they think of is the World Economic Forum, while Klosters evokes thoughts of Prince Charles and his annual ski trip. That’s all I knew before last week …

The full story is that Davos Klosters is a multi-faceted mountain resort (one of the oldest in Switzerland) in the heart of the Swiss Alps with 700+ km of hiking trails in the summer and 300+ km of ski slopes in the winter. We spent a weekend here this month and got a first-hand look at all it has to offer for my Skiing in Europe with Kids’ series.

Snow - Falling Slowly

We've seen snow in nearly all its forms this winter - as tiny pellets, as freezing rain, slow and stately, whipping horizontal on the wings of a blizzard, even accompanied by thunder and lightning. Last week's banks of fluff turned to stone under a cold rain, then were blessed with a softer coat last night.

I am reminded of this passage from Cormac McCarthy's The Crossing: "The snow in the pass was half way to the horse's belly and the horse trod down the drifts in high elegance and swung its smoking muzzle over the white and crystal reefs..."

Did you see Cormac McCarthy at the Oscars on Sunday? They cut to a shot of him and his young son as the Coens were accepting the Best Adapted Screenplay award for their version of his book No Country for Old Men. That was my second favorite moment of the night.

My first was, of course, the entire Once narrative arc - First, the tension as the other best song nominees did their fancy stuff; Amy Adams's verbal gymnastics and Kristin Chenoweth's smiling soprano made their Swartz/Menken songs seem hard to beat. Then the satisfying sweetness of Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard's duet, followed by the swoop of my stomach (perhaps a bit of what Colin Farrell and John Travolta felt when they slipped on that same slick spot onstage) as Travolta pulled the envelope out of his pocket. And Yes! Such real, un-Hollywood beauty and energy as the two take the stage. Tempered with a little disappointment, Irglova's stolen thank you moment. And a surprise ending - Jon Stewart heroically steals it back! And we get to hear her lovely heartfelt speech.

I believe this may explain why none of the other songs from "Once" (I thought the driving "When Your Mind's Made Up" and the anguished "Leave" to be compositions as strong as the delicate song that won) were nominated. Only songs that are written for the film in which they appear can be considered for nomination.
My third favorite moment of the night? A 1954 clip of Bette Davis, looking like a pixie alien in her little sparkly hat(!) as she hands the Best Actor award to Marlon Brando for On the Waterfront.

Sadly, I missed the Oscars, but I listen to that soundtrack every day. It's so wonderful - I'm thrilled to hear that they won! (I know, it's true. I live under a rock.)

To me the best moment of the Oscars was when Diablo Cody won for Best Original Screenplay. What a thrill for all struggling writers. I finally saw "Juno" Sunday night, and I watched and listened with the mind of a writer. "Don't preach," I heard between the lines; "don't worry about a political point of view. Just tell the story." I'm trying to learn those lessons.

from "An Excuse For Not Returning the Visit of a Friend"

by Mei-Yao Ch'en
translated by Kenneth Rexroth

...They hang on my clothes
And follow my every step.
I can't get any farther
Than the door. I am afraid
I will never make it to your house.

from Songs of Love, Moon, & Wind: Poems from the Chinese, published by New Directions

This is my Spring Break this week. No complaints, really, but no escape either, except for tomorrow when Randy will take the girls for a couple of hours in the morning so I can run and get the Easter surprises.

Alice Lowe Guest Curates a SHUDDERsome List

Since Alice Lowe’s directorial debut, Prevenge, first debuted as the curtain opener for Critic’s Week at the Venice Film Festival, it went on to screen at many a key festival around the world including Toronto, Dinard, Sitges and London. Now, ahead of the film’s February 10th, 2017 release, Kaleidoscope are currently taking the film, and Lowe, on a 16 venue preview Q&A tour.

With Prevenge all set to release in a couple of week’s time, Lowe took a moment to curate a list of her top horror films you can catch on AMC’s streaming service SHUDDER.

Alice Lowe

An appealingly unique curiosity.  I was sold as soon as I knew Bowie was intended for the lead role. The message is ambiguous: either Robert Powell is a sparkly Messiah, or a con man. And the imagery is somewhere between “Bergerac” and Godspell. It’s based on Rasputin apparently. But I see it as more of a spangly twisted Mary Poppins. It’s a strange paean to the death of the ’70s. Or the death of patterned jumpsuits anyway. Part of a film trend for psychokinesis, some great period features in this film, including psycho-humming, an evil Chinese chequer board, and binocular-view screen effects. My favourite bit is the haunted kitchen floor stain.

The Lair Of The White Worm

hugh grantI’m a die-hard Ken Russell fan, so I couldn’t not pick this. His imagery is nothing if not memorable. When Amanda Donohoe steps out from behind a tree in a white tricorn hat and shoulder pads, it’s like I’ve died and gone to cobra heaven. She’s a high camp Countess Dracula by way of Joan Collins. So unusual to have a woman in the predator role, and the film certainly doesn’t shy away from certain of her more surprising… attributes. This film gets a bad rap, but it’s clear that everyone’s having a lot of fun in it. I love Ken’s trademark psychedelia in the extended flashbacks and dream sequences. And there’s more imagination and flare in this than any of your standard horror fare. Some of it is entirely tongue in cheek (Capaldi’s bagpipes). But it fits in perfectly for me with the canon of British pagan/folk horror such as Wicker Man, American Werewolf, Blood on Satan’s Claw and Quatermass. It should also be noted for the birth of Hugh Grant’s iconic hairdo. A hairdo so pervasive that even Peter Capaldi has it.

Dearest Sister

Set in Lao, a ghostly horror, but one that is refreshingly unflinching in the brutality of its (mainly female) characters. To my Western sensibilities it invoked fairytale. Whether it’s psycho Cinderella or the twisted Ugly Sisters I’m unsure (the leads are undeniably stunning though!). It’s a psychological tale, claustrophobic and increasingly tense, as a young woman is sent to be the live-in maid to her cousin who is losing her sight. Regardless of the uneasy eerie moments, big themes are bubbling under the surface. Female rivalry, greed, jealousy, the corruption of money, consumerism, and the tensions in Lao between rural poverty and rich Western tourism. I loved that none of the characters are ‘nice’. They’re creatures of need and want, ready to take whatever opportunity for improving their own circumstance. As a viewer, your allegiances constantly hover and shift, the morality of the tale slipping out of your grasp with every twist and turn, just like Ana’s eyesight. So well done.

Probably my first Cronenberg film (seen on TV as a kid), and it’s gripping and brilliant. Again, psychic powers. I suppose a trope in horror because of its cinematic cheapness: all you have to do is film someone staring hard at someone else. But Scanners goes the whole hog, and Dick Smith’s effects are literally mind-blowing. Patrick McGoohan is masterfully Obi-Wan-like. And Michael Ironside is Jack-Nicholson-level mesmerising and demonic. On repeat viewing, what jumps out for me is the brilliant sound design. Which I guess is an essential part of the cinematic ESP arsenal. I think there’s something very satisfying about psychic powers. It must be every nerd’s fantasy that the reason you don’t fit in with the other muggles is your special powers. Which means people shouldn’t cross you as you might destroy them with your mind. Even if your body is puny. Cathartic viewing!

American Werewolf in London

A stone cold classic. If you haven’t seen it, you’re in for a treat. But one that you don’t deserve, because, why the hell haven’t you seen it? It’s a very useful example of a successful mix of horror and comedy, and as such often toted around by me in meetings! The transformation effects are definitive. The comedy so louchely brilliant. The pub scene sticks in the mind as iconic and still profoundly relevant for anyone currently taking a mini break in the British countryside. And a dead best friend character? It shouldn’t work but it does. Agutter is divine. She lives near me. I don’t stalk her. Honest. And the ending. They manage to get pathos in there and suddenly the whole thing feels more heavyweight than you ever expected. Just a brilliant, brilliant film. One of my all-time favourites.

American Psycho

American Psycho

Such a perfectly executed film, unusual in being better than the book in my humble opinion, and more and more seemingly prescient as time passes. You get the sense that Hannibal, Dexter and Wolf of Wall Street, maybe even Mad Men, owe a debt to this film, which renders a psycho cinematically palatable, nay, delectable. A film that casts horror as ice cold and illuminated rather than traditional blood red and darkness. There’s a scene in Prevenge which, without realising it, is a homage to American Psycho, (it was more consciously influenced by The Apprentice if I’m honest… But plenty of stuff linking The Apprentice with Ellis’ novel.) A brilliant satire on the reptilian attitudes of our consumerist capitalist corporate society. Terrifying. But also an awesome comedy. Huey Lewis. Genesis. The business card scene. The scariest thing? It all feels like NOW.

Best Line: ‘Is that Donald Trump’s car?’

Let The Right One In

I knew this would be up my street as soon as it was trailed. It has to be one of my favourite films of the last few years, and again, a classic. It has its own pace, atmosphere and memorably idiosyncratic scenes. I felt like I was still in a snow town when I came out of the cinema. Soft, yet biting. Like a marshmallow with fangs. It’s a love story that thrives on contrasts. A young boy meets an ancient vampire. Very simple. Somehow fairytale and naïve. But brutal and dark. A bittersweet romance. Hansel and Gretel with vampires. When I think back to it, it has the same alien charm as the Man Who Fell To Earth or E.T. : Outsider reveals true self to lonely individual, lonely individual protects outsider from persecution from society. It’s a nice story! After all! In fact the girl is a saviour…

Special mentions go to Demons and The Stendhal Syndrome because it was so hard to choose!

Peter O'Toole (1932–2013)

The truth is that, like many of the major stars, O’Toole was not altogether of this world, being at once indisputably present, yet with a mind dreaming of elsewhere. He seemed happiest when granted the freedom to transport himself, through drama and drink alike, out of what Tennyson called “our bourne of Time and Place.” Now he has crossed the bar.
