Our Minnie Bean

Sept 11, 2002 - Dec 13, 2010
protective minnie

I know this may seem strange to those of you that have never had a pet before. But I need to say something about our sweet sweet dog that was a very important part of our family. I can't seem to get over that she is gone.

About 2 weeks ago, she was acting very sick. I took her to the vet and discovered she had a virus and her lungs were inflamed. They also took blood samples and sent them off to a pathologist for testing because her lymph nodes were swollen. After bringing her home she was still not doing well. We couldn't get her to keep her food down. Later in the week I received a phone call from the same vet saying she tested positive for Lymphoma. I was shocked! I thought for sure her Lymph nodes were swollen due to her being sick. They can do chemo on dogs, however, the side affects are the same for a dog as they are for a human and they say about 50% of the dogs die from infection after chemo then they do from the cancer itself. The fact that Minnie hadn't kept food down for a whole week was really starting to worry us. We took her to the vet again and he gave us a paste to give to her 4 times a day hoping she would at least keep that down over the weekend and we could work from there. If she couldn't keep it down, he said we would need to have another kind of conversation. We knew what he meant. Minnie couldn't keep it down. By Sunday she wasn't even keeping water down. She had lost so much weight. She started hiding behind our big chair in our living room and would make wimper noises when we pet her. Tim and I made the decision to put an end to her pain. We had her put down on Monday. We both bawled in the vets office saying our last goodbyes to her, and for about a straight hour afterwards. It was the hardest, worst day of my life. It will take some real getting use to her not being here. She was our first baby, our shadow, our greeter, our protector, our companion, and most of all our best friend.

A few great memories we had with our Minnie Bean:

Minnie would claw her way up the slide to be with us. Tim helped her back down.

She's singing me a song. We could even get her to sound like she was saying I love you.

Probably one of my most favorite pictures of Minnie. She was so stressed about protecting Aubri from the splashes after Aubs would throw a rock in the water. I thought it was so sweet.

She's in her protective element here too. She had a thing about the water.

Birthday Girl!

Our Aubriana turned 3 on "movember 27!" Thats what she tells everyone when they ask how old she is with her 3 fingers out. She was so excited for her birthday this year!!! We asked her what she wanted for her birthday and she told us a pink cake! Lets just say I haven't been too great in the kitchen lately... so don't judge me on this cake. It was a disaster in my eyes, but Aubri LOVED it! It was pink and what kid doesn't like cupcakes?!

Birthday Girl

her new favorite toys! big girl with lip gloss
Tim bought her a ginormous Jesse doll, cause thats what she wanted and bullseye and woody too. I opted for the lip gloss. The first thing she did when she opened it was put it on her eyelashes. Tim and I screamed, "no! It goes on your lips!" Like she'll ever be in need of mascara, the lucky girl. Anyway, we think the lip gloss will last her another week and be gone. She loves to apply it that much.

taking a sipping break
For her birthday we invited her friend Adam, aka "Madam" as she calls him, to go with us to McDonalds for a happy meal and some fun on the play place. Its too flippin cold here to do anything else! They both had a blast and a bonus, they both got party favors out of the deal. :)

A little bit later in the afternoon we met our friends, the Mickelson family, to go sledding at a park. The picture above is about as much fun as Aubri had sledding. We just had knitted gloves for her, so her hands got cold real fast.

It's like she weighs 200 lbs or something... haha!
I don't know why the above picture cracks me up everytime I look at it. It's like my daughter weighs 200 lbs and the hill was super steep or something??! I look ridiculously weak! Thanks Hubs for taking that picture.

Here's me and Aubs "trying" to sled down the hill. Our sled was a piece of crap (pardon my french)! We ended up just going sideways, but I was determined to act like it was fun for Aubri's sake. :)

Here's a few tid bits about our sweet girl:

-Her favorite color is pink
-She loves watching Toy Story 1, 2, & 3 (no particular order)
-She loves to play with her baby brother
-She likes to sneak up on us first thing in the morning. If we wake her up, she's in a foul mood.
-Mickey mouse playhouse has to be on during breakfast
-Her favorite song is twinkle twinkle little star (she sings it to Timmy when he cries)
-She thinks story time at the Library is the bomb diggity
-She loves to play dress up and build castles out of anything she can find
-She can spot a slide a mile away and play on it for hours if I'd let her
-She has a strong personality but a really big heart
-She can make friends with any kid
-She's beautiful inside and out

Thank you to all our family who called and sang to her on her birthday. It made her day all the more special!

Share the knowledge!

Legacy: Homecoming

Erin Chambers

Sora Tyrus is a Genii and the daughter of Tyrus. According to Cowen, she is a skilled fighter and expert marksman.

She had known Teyla Emmagan all her life, however despite this friendship, held Teyla responsible for her father's death when Teyla was forced to leave Tyrus behind on a mission to a Wraith Hive ship. (SGA: "Underground")

She was also a member of Commander Acastus Kolya's strike force during the raid on Atlantis. It is here that she shows a level of compassion for the soldiers Kolya killed recklessly in the Stargate Operations. She claimed that they could have been overpowered opposed to killed straight off. Her reason for such a statement was that she wanted the "Atlanteans" to be co-operative. She later showed distressed concern when Kolya threatened Major John Sheppard with physical harm. While occupying Atlantis, she battled Teyla Emmagan in a knife fight in the Jumper bay, using her father's knife. Teyla eventually managed to disarm Sora of the knife. At this point Sora asked for the feud to be ended once and for all, implying Teyla to kill her; instead Teyla threw the knife to the ground, severing the feud and showing an end to the conflict. Sora's change of heart enabled her to assist a wounded Dr. Carson Beckett to safety. She was then taken prisoner, Dr. Elizabeth Weir optimistically stating that perhaps she could be used in trade with the Genii in the future in order to patch up relations between the two cultures. (SGA: "The Storm", "The Eye")

After encountering Kolya again, McKay asked him if he wanted Sora back. Kolya tells McKay that Sora knew what she was getting herself into, more then most of the men in the strike force and the Genii don't negotiate with terrorists. (SGA: "The Brotherhood")

She was held for three months before eventually being released some point after the assault on Sergeant Bates. During this time, Sora overheard the guards talking about several things, including Teyla's Wraithkin abilities. (SGA: "The Lost")

When Atlantis returns to the Pegasus Galaxy after six months of being absent, Sora, who has been promoted to the rank of Captain, informs Ladon Radim and Ambrus Tol. Sora is disgruntled when Ladon refuses to engage with the Lanteans and tells him that there has to be a reckoning with Atlantis at some point. However, Ladon refuses, not wanting to antagonize Atlantis yet and threatens to dismiss Sora from his service if she doesn't heed his wishes. Knowing if she is fired she will only have her looks and military training to fall back on, neither of which will do her any good with her temperament, Sora reluctantly concedes to Ladon's wishes, but he doesn't entirely trust her though he tells her that their salvage missions will continue. Ladon also orders Sora to avoid the Lanteans completely if she ends up on the same planet as them and to let go of her grudge towards Teyla Emmagan. While Ladon considers sending someone he trusts to keep an eye on her, he realizes she will see through it and it won't work.

Days later, Sora leads a relief mission to Wland where Doctors Jennifer Keller and Carson Beckett are helping the locals after a devastating Wraith attack. Upon hearing of the Genii's arrival, Beckett sends Keller to get help from Atlantis, being cautious about the Genii's appearance. Upon seeing Beckett, Sora demands to know where his team is and has her men search the compound for anyone else and Beckett's supplies. Sora then decides to take Beckett's supplies and Beckett with them when they leave in defiance of Ladon's orders as she sees them useful. Shortly afterwards, Lt. Colonel John Sheppard arrives with Doctor Rodney McKay and a team of Marines and they demand of Sora the release of Beckett and the supplies. Sora refuses to listen, intending to take Beckett and hiding behind some crates so no one can get a clear shot at her. Instead, Sora demands that they call Teyla there and she'll trade Beckett for Teyla and if they refuse, she'll kill Beckett. As the stand-off heats up, Sora makes the mistake of emerging into the open to threaten Beckett and Ronon Dex stuns her with his blaster, having intended to kill her initially but having changed his mind as she was too close to Beckett. However, Tass is able to snag Beckett before he can get away and a few of Sora's men are left in too good of cover to get to. One of her men offers a new deal that the Atlantis team takes: the Genii will let Beckett go and the team will allow the Genii to take the supplies. While the two sides depart each other peacefully, Ronon regrets not killing Sora when he had the chance.

After returning to her homeworld, Sora turns the supplies over to Colonel Faber, but he reports her actions. A furious Ladon has Sora arrested and stripped of her rank. Though Sora got supplies the Genii needed, Ladon returns them all to Atlantis as he is unwilling to antagonize them at that moment and informs them that Sora will stand trial. Sheppard is surprised that Ladon didn't kill Sora for her actions but Teyla believes he couldn't due to the large amount of influence her father had possessed. Ladon later assures Beckett that Sora has been dismissed from the Genii Army for her rogue actions. (SGA: "Legacy: Homecoming", "The Lost")

Despite Ladon's assurances, Sora is not dismissed from the military due to the political influence of her lover Colonel Faber. Instead, Ladon puts her in charge of the Genii's efforts on Sateda to get any valuable Ancient artifacts they can find from the Satedan City Museum. Both Ronon and Sheppard suspect that Sora was given this post to get her out of the way by sticking her somewhere where she could do something useful but not cause any trouble.

While exploring the museum, Doctors Radek Zelenka and William Lynn encounter Genii forces working for Sora while Ronon and Teyla spot her in the Genii's nearby camp, causing the expedition members to stop their efforts to get all of the titanium needed to build a mechanical iris for the Atlantis Stargate. Upon being confronted by Ronon, Ushan Cai admits that the Genii have effectively controlled Sateda for the better part of six months though Sora has only recently begun digging through the museum. Cai appeals to the expedition to throw Sora and the other Genii off of Sateda, but Sheppard is unwilling to spare the military manpower before agreeing to diplomatic efforts after learning of a possible ZPM in the museum.

After learning of the expedition's presence on Sateda, Ladon orders Sora and her men to remain in their camp, much to her frustration as she is impatient to get the Ancient artifacts in the museum. Sora is further incensed to learn that Ladon intends to negotiate with the Satedans and the expedition for the artifacts. During the negotiations, Sora is visibly angry, badly hiding it and tries to convince Cai to give the Genii what they want and not to trust the Atlantis expedition, citing the destruction the expedition has caused since their arrival in the Pegasus Galaxy. However, Cai refuses to listen to Sora, trusting the expedition far more than the Genii as the expedition came to trade for what they wanted instead of showing up with guns and demanding it.

Sora later heads to a Genii observation post, secretly trailed by Teyla and Corporal Kneeland after Teyla recognizes that Sora is too dangerous to be left unobserved. Unknown to Sora, Ladon has grown tired of the fact that she is too much of a loose canon to be trusted and has set up a trap to kill her with Faber's recent engagement removing any protection Sora had from him. Explosives laid by the Genii cause the post to collapse, apparently rubble giving way and drop Sora into a basement layered with more explosives designed to go off and kill her when she falls in. However, Sora manages to hang onto a beam and is found by Teyla and Kneeland who witnessed the collapse of the observation post. Kneeland spots the explosives in the cellar and the three realize what has really happened with Sora reluctantly allowing Teyla and Kneeland to rescue her. While Sora initially thinks the Atlantis expedition tried to kill her, Teyla is able to convince Sora that it was Ladon, not the expedition. Teyla suggests that they play it off as an unfortunate building collapse and Sora get her revenge on Ladon by surviving to continue to be a thorn in his foot. Seeing the wisdom in Teyla's words and more angry at Ladon than Teyla, Sora agrees and is helped back to camp by Kneeland.

Upon their return, Teyla announces to everybody Sora's "unfortunate accident" and has her checked out by an Atlantis medic to prevent "misunderstandings". While Sora starts to object, she realizes the point of Teyla's actions and agrees and is escorted to a medic by Kneeland and Ladon's aid Ambrus Tol. Realizing what Ladon tried to do, Sheppard confronts Ladon over Sora's attempted murder and points out that it looks bad that Ladon tried to kill the officer that was running a secret operation before she got caught. Sheppard leverages the attempt on Sora's life to force Ladon to make a deal with the Satedans to trade fairly for what the Genii want, promising to not look too closely into what Ladon might have to hide by assassinating Sora in exchange. (SGA: "Allegiance")

Behind the scenesEdit

  • During filming of "The Siege, Part 2", Sora was traded for a Genii nuclear weapon. The scene was cut due to time constraints, however, so Sora's status is unknown.
  • Although unlikely to be canon, Erin Chambers commented in an interview that she formed a little backstory for her character - Sora. The backstory includes that Sora is 20 years old and that her mother died when she was young; the reason for her close relationship with her father is because of this. Her weakness lies in that she is too emotional. This is definitely seen when confronting Kolya's ethics and when she ends the feud with Teyla. Chambers even claims this is why she lost her fight with Teyla.[1]

Watch This Amazing Nike Air Yeezy Restoration

Sneakers can be collector's items, but at the end of the day they are meant to be worn, even if they are worth a lot of money. That was definitely the case for this particular pair of "Blink" Nike Air Yeezys. Literally worn into the ground, the 2009 Kanye West release was in unwearable condition with crumbled midsoles, separated outsoles, and dirt everywhere. Even though they looked like they were headed to a trash can, Youtuber and sneaker restorer RetroSnickers was able to breathe new life into them. The restoration process included a full cleaning, midsole swap, paint, and removing yellowing from the glow-in-the-dark outsoles.

Simply Greek

First Coast Technical College School of Culinary Arts
Published Thursday, February 14, 2008

I find it intriguing and mysterious how people throughout the world have come up with the food we eat.

A great example is how on earth anyone could have eaten an olive off an olive tree and decided that this "fruit" could somehow be edible.

Next time you are in the vicinity of an olive tree you can try this yourself. Just reach up and pull off an olive, it does not matter if it is ripe or not, and take a little taste.

You may find it to be one of the nastiest things you have ever put in your mouth.

And yet somehow this little fruit and the oil it gives has become the staple of not only Greece but the entire Mediterranean.

The foods Greeks dream of are not elaborate and complicated, but based on humble, delicious regional produce seasonal fruits and vegetables, grains, fruity olive oil, home cured olives, beans and other legumes, local cheeses, yogurt, fish and meat.

Today I give you just one of my favorite recipes from my travels to Greece.

But if you join me on Feb. 21, you'll leave with a full stomach, recipes for all the dishes and a better appreciation for Greek cuisine.

Call 829-1045 to reserve your space in the kitchen today.

Chef Kevin Gallagher, a retired Navy captain with 27 years of service, is a recent honors graduate of First Coast Technical College's School of Culinary Arts. He is the recipient of multiple medals in culinary competitions, including silver and bronze medals at American Culinary Federation student team events and gold and silver medals at SkillsUSA competitions. (www.fcti.org )

Tomato, kalamata and goat cheese tart

5 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

6 medium tomatoes or large Roma's, cored, halved crosswise, seeded

2 garlic cloves, thinly slivered

2 tbsp. minced fresh thyme, divided

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

1 cup grated whole-milk mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup soft goat cheese (4 ounces)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup whipping cream

1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved

2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil, brushing with one tablespoon oil. Place tomato halves, cut side up, on baking sheet. Sprinkle garlic and one tablespoon of thyme over tomatoes, then drizzle remaining 1/4 cup oil over. Season lightly with salt and fresh ground pepper. Bake until tomatoes begin to shrink and are slightly dehydrated but still soft, about 2 hours. Cool tomatoes on the baking sheet. (Can be prepared one day ahead by storing in single layer in covered container in refrigerator.)

Roll out pastry on lightly floured board to fit 13 inch square.

Transfer pastry to 9 inch diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Press pastry firmly onto bottom and sides of pan. Trim overhang to inch. Fold overhand in and press, pushing crust inch above sides of pan. Pierce crust all over with fork, chill 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Line pastry with foil then fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake crust until edges are golden, piercing with fork if crust bubbles, about 12 minutes longer. Cool crust 10 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 degrees F.

Using a fork, mash mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, and remaining one tablespoon thyme in mixing bowl. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper. Add eggs and cream, stirring until mixture is well blended. Spread cheese filling evenly in crust. Arrange tomato halves on top of filling, cut side up. Place olives between tomatoes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over top.

Bake until filling is puffed and set, about 35 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Push up pan bottom, releasing sides. Serve warm.

Former opposition exile chosen as prime minister by Iraqi Governing Council

Associated Press Writer
Published Saturday, May 29, 2004

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The Iraqi Governing Council chose a longtime anti-Saddam Hussein exile to become prime minister of Iraq's interim government, making the surprise announcement Friday despite U.N. concerns over his ties to the United States and the CIA.

The selection of Iyad Allawi -- a Shiite Muslim council member who headed an exile group made up of former Saddam military officers -- was an assertion of influence by the U.S.-picked body.

After apparent initial hesitation, the United States endorsed the choice to head the government due to take power on June 30.

A senior Bush administration official in Baghdad, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed Allawi will become prime minister, and the White House praised Allawi as "a fine and capable leader."

U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who has been leading discussions on forming the government, also all but endorsed Allawi. Brahimi "is perfectly comfortable with how the process is proceeding so far," a statement by his office said.

The United Nations acknowledged the timing of the council's announcement was a surprise, but said Brahimi would work with Allawi on the makeup of the government, due to be announced in the coming days.

Allawi had been "high on (Brahimi's) list" of possible premiers," spokesman Fred Eckhard said at U.N. headquarters in New York. The announcement "is not how we expected it to happen ... but the Iraqis seem to agree on this candidate."

Still to be chosen for the new government are a president, two vice presidents and 26 Cabinet members. The president, a largely symbolic post, is to be a Sunni, and the vice presidents are expected to be a Kurd and a Shiite.

Allawi has maintained a low profile here and is believed to have only a limited power base in Iraq.

But council members wanted a prime minister with a strong background in security to deal with the persistent violence that will be the most compelling challenge for the new government.

Allawi's Iraqi National Accord party included many army officers who defected during Saddam's rule, and a relative serves as Iraq's minister of defense.

He is also a member of the majority Shiite community, whose leaders had insisted that one of their own take the most powerful government post.

The choice was a rejection of Brahimi's initial preference for a weak government of nonpolitical figures to take power June 30 and prepare for national elections by Jan. 31.

This is Bullshit.

"Ugly" Betty? I Think Not.

Normally, I don't notice this sort of thing. My threshold/definition range for beauty is exceedingly wide; for instance, I think Paris Hilton is in fact pretty and sexy. Sue me. I also think Sandra Bernhard is attractive - in the right pose, the right light, when genuinely smiling - sometimes, at any rate.

Point being: this show is being praised for acknowledging inner beauty, sticking it to the hollow, skin-deep aesthetic of the fashion world blah blah blah. Bullshit. This show is a horror. I am truly frightened for the mass psyche of America if:

is what is considered ugly these days. You fools, you dicks, you complete and utter cocks. Ever seen Not Another Teen Movie? Fine, you haven't. There's a scene where the so-called ugly nerd takes off her glasses, shakes loose her hair and is magically a hottie. The joke was that she was just as hot beforehand.

Braces or not, that girl is fine as hell. You all know it. Why, then, are the reviewers tacitly complicit with the creators of this hunter-destroyer psychological attack? Please advise, preferably before I skin my knuckles in pointless inchoate rage.

Note to Self on Emergency Survival.

The bleach was for a trick I picked up in China. In remote areas there you can’t get bottled water. Even the locals stick to tea, which they boil for 15 minutes. After a while, I got tired of brushing my teeth with tea, and I learned that two drops of bleach in a liter of water makes it potable. If you put a slice of lemon or lime in it, it doesn’t taste like a city pool. Now when I travel in developing countries, I always pack a vial of bleach. (This also works for bathing—one teaspoon in a gallon of water.) - from a 2005 article by Richard Rhodes, on how he coped in New Orleans during Katrina.

Good to know.

Future Hi going on hiatus.

Paul Hughes has been posting on issues of transhumanism, technology, spirituality and plain old humanism for the past five years and doing a damn good job of it too. Paul Hughes has news for you -- he is mad as hell and he's not going to take it anymore.
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you people? Starvation, war, overcrowding, obesity, blinding idiocy, zero-sum capitalism, zero-sum everything -- just die already and make room for some other non-asshole species.

Okay, I'm being facetious. On a more serious note, it's been a delight to absorb his optimism and his concisely intelligent writings on ... well, on just about everything I give a crap about online. Now, he seems to be undergoing a metamorphosis of opinion, tragic for the likes of me*, but the right decision for him. To quote Hannibal Tabu, "Seek solutions."

Peter Watts has, for some reason, been fictionalizing his bloggage* of his ongoing US tour. As dark as you'd expect.

Even better, however, is that ...

Nissan will be trying out inter-vehicle messaging system come October 1st.

Japanese carmaker Nissan has announced plans to test an "intelligent transportation system" that sends wireless messages to passing cars. The company said on Friday that it plans to include 10,000 drivers in a 30-month experiment.

Messages will be beamed optically from roadside beacons to passing cars in the trial. Information received by an onboard computer will then be used to alert a driver to potential danger from an approaching vehicle or inform them of traffic congestion ahead, Nissan said in a statement.

The system also includes "dynamic route finder" which informs drivers of the quickest route to their destination using data collected from other vehicles. Drivers will be able to synchronise their cellphone with a car's navigation system in order to relay information about their journey to a central command system.

No, No, NO. And you were doing so well too; stop with the central command systems already!

Late to the Party (or Funeral as the Case may Be)

9/11 - Five Years Later

SEPTEMBER 11 is a date forever etched in our minds. The terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001 inaugurated a new era of uncertainty, fear, and hatred. For some influential sections in the West, these attacks have reaffirmed a belief in an inevitable "clash of civilisations'. Such a binary view of the world coupled with an opportunism has led to the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and more recently Israel's brazen assault on Lebanon. After decades of unprecedented peace, the mindless bombings in Madrid and London have introduced a new and gruesome dimension to European life. Given the political and economic preponderance of the West, the impact of these events is felt worldwide. Thus, at home, the terrible bombings of Mumbai's trains are now viewed as a part of this global menace.

Despite the disbelief of its citizens and feigned innocence of its leaders, America's international record has been far from simon-pure. It is in response to such duplicity that alert minds have reminded us of another 9/11. On the same date, in 1973, the democratically elected President of Chile, Salvador Allende, was overthrown in a coup that was aided and abetted by the American Government. With Allende dead, Chile rapidly descended into a long era of darkness under the right-wing Augusto Pinochet.

It's all been said. And better too. Go.
The Restaurant at the End of the Future - or the End of Chicago at any rate.

Perhaps Cantu's greatest innovation at Moto is a modified Canon i560 inkjet printer (which he calls the "food replicator" in homage to Star Trek) that prints flavoured images onto edible paper. The print cartridges are filled with food-based "inks", including juiced carrots, tomatoes and purple potatoes, and the paper tray contains sheets of soybean and potato starch. The printouts are flavoured by dipping them in a powder of dehydrated soy sauce, squash, sugar, vegetables or sour cream, and then they are frozen, baked or fried.

The most common printed dish at Moto is the menu ...

Let's hope nobody gets food-poisoning/cancer and spoils it for the rest of us.

DIY Survival Gear Mods - Securing Shotgun Shells in a Holder

The last thing you want to do is lose your shotgun shells from their holder. Those extra rounds are important and you don’t want to risk accidentally losing them. If they don’t fit snugly in their holder, there’s a chance they may fall out and not be there when they are needed. There is a simple and low cost solution to this problem.

While elastic butt cuffs don’t normally experience this problem, the hard plastic shell carriers that are often used on collapsible gun stocks may create a problem if you want to make sure your extra shotgun shells are secure. The plastic cases on your shotgun shells when combined with a plastic shotshell holder can be a slippery situation.

All you need to solve this problem is a package of Velcro fasteners. A small package of these fasteners cost approximately a dollar and will help solve the problem of keeping your shells secured in the shotshell holder on your shotgun.

The package comes with two different types of fasteners. The loop kind and the fuzzy kind in small squares that don’t require you to do any further modifications. They've got sticky stuff on the backside and all you need for this gear mod are the fuzzy patches.

Just strip the plastic backing off the fuzzy patches and attach them directly to the inside of the individual shotshell holders. Your shells are still easy to get out and will remain snug in the holder. This is an inexpensive and simple gear mod for your shotshell holder.

Got DIY gear mods?

Staying above the water line!

Great tip - Thanks! Great way to use up scraps of that material.

My shells weren't as secure as I thought they should be. I was looking for a quick and easy fix...stuck some fuzzy patches in the holder and now my shells are lot more secure in their holder.

Thanks anon.

So why Stay?

What keeps us here in lieu of the headache, hassle and bureaucratic hell?

It's home - the short answer. Nowhere else has felt this much like home. In fact, the entire concept of "home" comes into question, I believe, when a person has grown up in one place and yet finds the feeling of well being in another place altogether. Almost like a calling or longing. Very deep.

Medium length answer: Gorgeous, sea-side sunsets, summer dresses and sandals in October, an un-bridled sense of freedom, subsidized education, not being afraid of walking through the park with my son after dark, subsidized agricultural and dairy goods, not having to be terrified of letting my son out of my sight on the playground or in public.

The long answer shortened: To loosely borrow from David Horovitz's A Little Too Close To God, The Thrills and Panic of A Life in Israel , being alive at a time when Israel actually is in a state of statehood, impinges a sense of obligation regarding dwelling here. And no, I'm not religious. That's the more philosophical, not hugely in-depth but could lead to a lengthy discussion answer.

Progress and Argh!!

Before I was told to rest my hand I spent some time working on Chocolate Humbug Bag from Northern Pine Designs.

Chocolate Humbug Bag from Northern Pine Designs (WIP)

Chocolate Humbug Bag from Northern Pine Designs (WIP)

I think it is looking really pretty. To be honest, though, the instructions are a little confusing. Which is why I have to pull out this beautiful Jessica stitch:

A Jessica Stitch

A Jessica Stitch

I’m one row too low. Instead of ripping it out right now and restitching it, I’m going to do the diagonal line of stitches that mark the edge of this section. Then I will work up from them. But my heart will break when I have to rip out that lovely stitch. 🙁

    Beautiful stitching! Your tension is perfect.

  2. Denise says:

    Love the colors in this piece that you are working on I look thru your blog and you are a very crafty and talented person.
    Not sure how to add you to my blog so that everytime you post that I will get it.
    Happy Stitching

  3. Giovanna says:

    Oh, what a shame 🙁 I’m sure you’ll have another one in the right place before you know it, and it will be just as beautiful.

  4. Erica says:

    Oh that hurts, doesn’t it? I hate it when that happens. On the up-side, at least you get to make something so beautiful twice….???? Maybe?

    Linda’s instructions aren’t always clear – I struggle with them and I’ve stitched lots of her patterns and done lots of canvaswork. If you get stuck, let me know and I’ll try and help!

  5. Lorna says:

    Wow it is looking really good. I think my heart would break too if I had to pull out that beautiful stitch. I think I would struggle to get one as nice as that looks. I love the colours as purple is my favourite colour.

  6. Anny P says:

    I hope you’re feeling better soon – it’s rotten when you have to rest up, I know. Beautiful stitching though – does it really have to go?

  7. Susan says:

    Sorry to read that you have to unstitch that Rhodes stitch, it is beautiful. I love the hearts.

  8. SoCal Debbie says:

    Ooohhh… Fancy stitching! I’ll just stick to my simple old X’s for now!

Pillow/Cushion Cover

When I start a new project I sometimes have to buy the "right" fabric for it. This can at times mean, buying it over a couple of fortnightly pays. This can take awhile as well at a quilting shop mixing and matching colours and patterns on the fabrics.

Pat is happy to just sit on a chair and let me do my "thing", which is nice as I know I don't have to rush and maybe regret one of my choices.

This is the cushion/pillow cover I want to make. When I saw it in a Quilter's Companion magazine I fell in love with it on sight.

Sewing technique is needle turn and I so love this style of hand sewing. I'm not going to rush this project, so if it takes me a few months, that is okay. Wanting to enjoy the whole idea of making and showing off this beautiful pillow/cushion when finished.

First trip to Hettie's Patch I bought my ivory background fabric, templates and any other notions I needed. The ivory fabric is on the left in the photo below. Its got a tiny swirl printed on the fabric, not sure if you can see it all that well in the photo.

Last pay I bought the fabric for the diamonds and flowers. Due to me being such a forgetful person and having a complete change of colours, I photo copied the picture and then fussy cut each piece. They were then pinned to the corresponding fabric, no reason for me to forget the placements of the colours now.

The bird fabric is Moda "Park Avenue" and a couple of the other fabrics are American Civil War reproductions. I bought a bit extra of them as the left over fabric can go in my "Gone With The Wind" quilt.

Fabric and pattern are in a clear bag, hanging off a coat hanger, ready for me to start.

That is going to be a beautiful pillow cover!! Love all the fabrics you selected for it.

Lovely choice of fabrics, Lucky! That pillow is very pretty. I also love needleturn! :)

Hemp Inc (OTCMKTS:HEMP) Finalizes Master Distribution Deal With Carolina Canna Distributors, LLC

Hemp Inc (OTCMKTS:HEMP) reported that they have finalized a master distribution deal with Carolina Canna Distributors, LLC. It is a subsidiary firm of Carolina Hemp Company based in Asheville, NC. The deal is to exclusively sell Hemp’s product line of hemp-based cosmeceutical such as candles, skin treatment oils, shampoos, conditioners and many others.

The details

Under the terms of the finalized deal, Hemp appointed and granted the distribution firm with the non-assignable and exclusive right to sell its products in North Carolina. Also, Carolina Canna Distributors will have non-exclusive right to sell product line anywhere else in the U.S. and on global platform. Bruce Perlowin, the CEO said that they are delighted to have Carolina Canna on board. It will help to increase the visibility of products in more than 400 outlets in North Carolina.

The objective

The objective of deal is to offer the wide range of premium quality Hemp product line in to the mainstream market and generate awareness for hemp. Educating the American citizens and creating awareness on hemp and its benefits. It will mark the advancement of the industrial hemp movement. There is a need to create awareness surrounding the hemp crop, as it is very unique and its every part has utility that creates market value. The demand and supply are stimulated.

The development

As per Hemp’s recently launched video update on Product Sales, the CEO is shipping three pallets of company’s cosmeceutical product line to North Carolina. It will mark the debut of the innovative hemp-based products. The Distribution deal with Carolina Canna may be expanded with more products as Hemp extends its product portfolio to include CBD product line in the future.

Hemp Inc (OTCMKTS:HEMP) enjoyed a fine gain of 5.77% in the last trading session but the bulls would still like to see the final closing of the day a bit closer to the day high. The volume of 19 million was slightly lower than the daily average of 21 million, keeping some questions open regarding the actual strength of the bulls at this point of time. The major support around $0.0250 has turned into a very strong resistance level after the breakdown, as shown on the chart attached and as long the price trades below that, the entire control remains in the bearish grip.

21 Day Fix Extreme Results

21 Day Fix Extreme Results

I totally fail at this remembering to write thing! I can’t believe it’s been six weeks since my last post. A lot has been happening!

We went to a wonderful wedding in San Antonio at the end of October, and then spent a week in San Diego for my husband’s conference. It was lovely working from the hotel and then exploring the city in the afternoon! I also really enjoyed getting to see my sister some.

It seems like life has taken over since getting back to Seattle: I’ve been cooking and cleaning a lot, we’ve been hosting and going to parties and gatherings every week, and there doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day. One thing I’ve been making sure to make time for every day is exercise.

I’m Amy and I love workout DVDs!

Haha, I felt like I had to confess that. About a year ago, I got hooked onto at home workout DVDs – specifically Beachbody ones. While I know that there are many amazing forms of exercise (running, swimming, hiking, going to the gym, to name a few), I just don’t make regular time for it if it’s not at home. I’ve had gym memberships and yoga passes and I just think to myself, “I have to go all the way to the gym!” And then I don’t go. Even if it’s 10 minutes away!

So, I’ve found something that works for myself: DVDs at home. I made a nice space in our basement that I can work out with my laptop set up and have plenty of space for burpees, pushups, planks and jumping! I’ve completed Insanity and 21 Day Fix. I’m about three days out from finishing 21 Day Fix Extreme.

What is the 21 Day Fix?

I’d say that it’s halfway between the intensity of Insanity and 21 Day Fix. It’s 30 minutes a day and trainer Autumn Calabrese shows you how to do each move and for how long. The only equipment you need are shown in the photo below.
21 Day Fix Extreme | Stone House Rock
I’ve been using a 3-pound, 5-pound and 8-pound set of a weights and a resistance band with 15-pounds of resistance. (The resistance band is amazing! An easy way to bring some equipment with you if you are traveling and need to workout from your hotel room.)

I find that the workouts are quite fun, challenging and keep me engaged the entire time. Each day you are doing something different like Plyo, Yoga, Pilates, or Cardio. It’s tough that you go 21 days with exercise EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. But the yoga and pilates feel like “working rests.” 21 Day Fix Extreme | Stone House Rock
I know I’m not quite done with the 21 Day Fix Extreme, but I really want to tell you about my results! Between the 21 Day Fix and the 21 Day Fix Extreme, I’ve lost a total of 10 pounds and toned up an insane amount! I had to start eating more food than I had planned on because my body was burning so many calories and I reached the place I wanted to be. I’m starting to see some wonderful muscle definition in my abs, arms and legs. I cannot wait till I have an excuse to wear a dress and heels again. 🙂

Along with these workout DVDs, I’m a part of various challenge and motivation groups throughout the year. These happen over Facebook and we simply post in the group with our activity for the day and help motivate each other to be healthy! If you’re ever interested in joining one of these motivation groups, please let me know! The more the merrier.

“It is a meeting point between old game design and new, with every other moment punctuated with some of the most thrilling level and boss design to grace the genre. As improbable as it may sound, this game made by one guy not only stands up to the classics, it is every bit as good as Gunstar Heroes and Contra.”

Sunday, May 9, 2010 twin cities

Guess who's featured in the upcoming twin cities guide? Yuppers, StormSister Spatique.

I would just like to say a big THANK YOU to Anna Blessing (info below) for finding StormSister Spatique.
She first came in about 8 months ago on a weekend when my trusty side-kick Meeg was working, and asked to take photos of the store.
Meeg gave me a call and explained what was going on. I promptly told Meeg to get her info and that she could not take pictures that day, that I would contact her after the weekend.
After doing a bit of research over the weekend, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that StormSister Spatique was being considered for this eclectic publication.

Preorder your book today. Available in our storefront June 1st.

Some info on the guides:

Not to get all gushy, but here at the guides, we have loving feelings for one-of-a-kind, worth going out of the way to visit, independently owned local businesses. though it’s a uniquely american sentiment to think bigger is better, we believe smaller is special—and we’ve dedicated an entire series of city guides to this premise.

the guides focus on cities both big and obvious (nyc and paris) and small and not-so-obvious (kansas city and portland). you could say we’re an equal opportunity publisher with 24 cities in our back pocket and counting.

because we believe that a guide needs to come along with you–and not languish on your coffee table looking all pretty and pristine–an guide fits perfectly into a handbag, a glove compartment box or your empty hand. and instead of having it indiscriminately feature everything but your kitchen sink, we put our colored glasses on and carefully choose 85 or so unique, authentic, scrumdilicious local businesses that range from eye popping and brand spankin’ new to deeply patinaed and way off the beaten path, funky and unexpected to chic and shiny.

the first guide was published in portland, oregon in late 2003. kaie wellman the creator of the series, was at the time an art director / graphic designer with a bad attitude. to abolish the attitude, she thought about what career change might make her happy, so she took a solo road trip to san francisco to visit the gift fair for inspiration. after spending 30 minutes at the fair, she was not inspired. so with two days left in town, and looking for a new career path, she hit the streets—not to take up the oldest profession, but to explore the city neighborhood by neighborhood.

while peering in, poking around, sniffing the air and devouring the delicious—it occurred to her that the bad attitude and the mantle of grumpiness had disappeared and in its place was some serious happiness, all because of a little local eating and shopping therapy. a series was born.

by late 2004 there were guides for three cities: portland, seattle and los angeles all researched, written and photographed by delusional multi-tasker kaie. by 2005 reality set in and kaie realized that helping hands were needed, and the gang was born. anna h. blessing fresh out of medill school of journalism with a “can do” attitude that is quite often found in the under 30 sect, signed on to author the chicago book (and Twin Cities). jon hart a closet cello player and owner of the world famous, jon’s awesome business (nobody knows what he does really), insisted that he author the paris book and jan faust dane, wordsmith and unknown to her before she began authoring these guides, spectacular photographer of food, authored the first state guide: rhode island because it really is the size of a large city.
