Remember when you are approached by the public: Volunteers are supposed to direct all customers back to the staff if they want to see dogs. It is a liability issue to discuss our animals with them, or allow them to pet and interact. There are shifts open for Dog Adoption Ambassadors, if you would like to be trained and scheduled for this team let us know! Otherwise please direct the public to our lobby to schedule meets with dogs they’re interested in. Thank you!

Have you accidentally taken some kennel keys home?  Please bring them to Anna in the Volunteer Manager office!
Kennel Cleaning Protocol: After picking up feces, spray the dirty spot down with Simple Green spray (there should be a bottle every dog room; simple hand spray bottles). Then wipe the simple green off with a damp rag. Toss the dirty rag into the laundry and done! Gloves are also available in all animal room for cleanliness.
[toggle title=”Cat Notes”]Please do not take it upon yourself to move the animals to different kennels. If you notice a kennel open and ready and you have a cat you want to have moved, please ask the staff! They have many processes attached to relocations, please defer to them for these choices.

Remember to post your absences on the Volunteer Board online, and email the volunteer manager at volunteer@whs4pets.org. The Volunteer Central Board is at https://whs4pets.org/get-involved/volunteer/volunteer-central/
If you notice something amiss please notify staff. Do not add or remove signage unless a staff member asks you to.
You all have done such a great job keeping our cats and kittens social and happy during their stay here! We so appreciate your hard work and love to our felines!
Have you accidentally taken some kennel keys home?  Please bring them to Anna in the Volunteer Manager office!

Citizenship, Canucks, Cultural Context, and a Cold

… ahh, alliteration, how I do love thee!

A Cold:

I have one. A nasty, head-squeezing, inner ear-itching, sinus pounding, can’t-sleep-‘cos-every-time-you-lay-down-your-head-explodes, head cold. Yesterday I surrendered and indulged in some cold and flu medication. Pseudoephedrine is a girl’s best friend.

Citizenship, Canucks, and Cultural Context:

On Friday 3rd June I became a Canadian citizen. It’s been a long 7 year journey for myself and Mrs Widdershins. We both got a little teary at the ceremony, (I held it together until O Canada’) then headed off to a swanky restaurant we had a coupon for, (times being what they are) to celebrate.

The Canucks  (Vancouver’s Ice hockey team) are locked in a bruising head-to-head battle with the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup this year. (it’s the Superbowl, Melbourne Cup, Wimbledon, etc, of Ice Hockey) It’s only been this season that I’ve come to understand the game, both on the ice and off.

When I arrived here 7 years ago I had no frame of reference for any of my surroundings. Australia is a Summer Country. I enjoyed playing and watching sports, but of the tennis, cricket, swimming, summery sort. Snow and ice were anathema.

It’s a funny thing this processional from one homeland to another. I didn’t understand the depth of dislocation that would occur. No-one does until they go through it. It’s as if I existed only in the present moment, with no understanding of the past and no expectation of the future, because I had no historical or cultural context to hang any opinions off of.

Who is Wayne Gretzky,  or Henrik and Daniel Sedin?  What is the Canadian Shield? Why does Canada have two official languages? … Just to name a few conundrums. These are things you learn about in school or by osmosis as you live your life, and require the passage of time and experience to fully comprehend.

Now, I’ve acquired an historical and cultural understanding of hockey and can enjoy the game because, apart from anything else, I understand what the hell the commentators are talking about. It also helps to have a decent sized TV screen to see that tiny bit of black vulcanised rubber they all seem to be fighting over!

The same goes for being a citizen. If I’d’ve been able to instantly become a citizen the minute I arrived here, I doubt I would have had an inkling of what it means to call myself Canadian. Now I have a better understating of what it doesn’t mean, and less ignorance of how it happened. Confused? Oh well, that’s us Canadians for you, eh?

These quotes just about cover it.

“Citizenship is a tough occupation which obliges the citizen to make his own informed opinion and stand by it”Martha Gellhorn

“Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote”George Jean Nathan

“I am so excited about Canadians ruling the world” John Diefenbaker (I suspect he might’ve been joking … maybe) Canada’s Prime Minister when the Bill of Rights became law, which led to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which we have today.

  1. clarbojahn says:

    As a child immigrant from Holland I had a traumatic time of it. You mentioned some of the why’s. We were naturalized as American Citizens when I was thirteen. I did however learn about it in history and school. My parents went to night classes and tried against the will of my five siblings and me to keep us speaking Dutch at home. We were ostracized against for our accents and clothes at school so we wanted to be like our peers more so than the average kid. Now since the death of both my parents I miss hearing Dutch and hearing about the customs.

    Congratulations for becoming a Canadian Citizen. I have a sister that lives in Grande Prairie, Alberta and a nephew that lives in Ontario, though it’s never worked out for me to visit.

  2. jannatwrites says:

    Congrats on the citizenship. It sounds like a long process, but what a great reward! I hope you enjoyed the restaurant, too!

  3. spbowers says:

    Congrats on the citizenship!

  4. I well know the dislocation you speak of. My first few years in New Zealand were an adventure, but after a while I got tired of people asking my how recently I’d arrived. I learned to speak rugby, watch cricket, have a barbie, listen to Split Enz, and understand what was being said super-fast. I became a citizen, and a NZ passport-holder, and yet I never stopped feeling foreign. Even after 17 years living there I was asked how recently I’d arrived. I joined the Canadians in Wellington group just to be around others who shared my country of birth, and a context that my adopted country couldn’t understand. Pancakes with maple syrup, pumpkin pie, snow at Christmas, Molson, hockey, Maclean’s…

    I thought it would be straightforward to come back to Canada after being away for nearly 20 years. i was wrong. I had as much difficulty acclimatising to Canada (again) as I had to NZ. Culture is a subtle thing, conveyed by raised eyebrows and tone of voice.

    I suppose this is the season, if any, to learn hockey. I used to follow hockey and was a Canucks fan when I lived in Vancouver in my youth. After many years of being soaked in the downunder sports culture, I’ve gladly walked away from paying attention to the sporting circuses. Except that my daughter has become a puck bunny who’s an avowed Flames fan (as many are here) and in the SCFinals she’s cheering for ABC – Anyone But Canucks!

    • Widdershins says:

      What is it about the Canucks? … Cos we’re on the other side of the Rockies? … I dunno! … what is a little scary, actually a lot scary, is the amount of violence that is directed towards a particular team by the ‘fans’ – as in fanatics … sometimes towards all the teams except the one they’ve decided is ‘theirs’ … It’s only a GAME. Maybe it has to do with the whole Roman Circus thing. I’m sure someone has written a whole thesis on it, somewhere.

  5. Congrats, Ms. New Canadian Citizen! 🙂

    • Widdershins says:

      Thank you Ms Susie Mac. It’s a relief to know that I can cross the Canadian/US border and not feel that some pimply ijit with an inferiority complex has the power to screw up my life completely. Now they can screw it up slightly, just like any other Canadians!!!

She is a well-known Canadian actress born on April 29, 1980 as Sarah Brianne "Bre" Blair in Canada with white ethnicity and a mesmerizing beauty. Blair is best known for her performance in the movie Las Vegas where she appeared as Michael Douglas' character's fiancé. Similarly she has appeared in many movies and TV shows and is highly praised and admired for her acting skills.

Blair was born beautiful with lots of intelligence and down to earth nature. From her early days, she was very good in her studies and also showed interest in other activities held in her school. Though she loved acting, she never thought that she would pursue her career in the industry as an actress. She began her career in the year 1995 with her first major role in the movie The Baby-Sitters Club where she portrayed Stacey McGill.  She then appeared as the character Claire in an episode of Love, Inc. she also has appeared in Shawn vs. the Red Phantom in Psych episode, as Janet on Nip/Truck and in The Shake Up in the The O.C. episode as Carrie Spitz.

In the same way, Blair has appeared in a comedy drama What About Brian where she portrayed Lisa B. Blair also presented herself in an episode of Grey's Anatomy titled "Brave New World" in the year 2008. She then appeared in the fourth season of The Unit from 2008 to 2009 where she portrayed Joss Morgan Grey. In the year 2013, Blair appeared as Michael Douglas' character's fiancé in the movie Las Vegas. Similarly, Blair has appeared in many movies, short movies and tv shows with a prominent role.

She is able to win millions of heart with her acting skills.

Above all, Blair has maintained privacy in her personal life. She has not revealed more about her dating and relationships. It seems as if thirty five year old Blair is too busy in making her career, as she has no time to find her dear boyfriend and get married to him. Blair is not even found having a husband. Despite of all these, Blair is able to achieve success with a wonderful net worth and a great fan following. She is also very popular in social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. She can also be followed in her Instagram account. More about her biography can be abstracted from wiki.

#19 John & Anna (Ziegler) Ochs

John and Anna Ochs arrived at the port of New York on April 22, 1852 on the ‘Oldenburg Gallion Hermine’ with their two young sons, Heinrich, age 4, and Conrad, age 11 months.

Passenger List from the Hermine’s Arrival on 4/22/1852

According to the New York Daily Times from that date, “The full tide of emigration has set in from Hamburg and Bremen.” On April 3, 1852, 1,500 people sailed from Hamburg alone aboard five vessels headed for New York. Before 1855, there was no central immigrant processing center. According to Rhonda R. McLure, “Before Castle Garden opened, though, immigrants were processed on the ships upon which they had arrived. Inspectors would get the passenger lists from the ship’s crew and go through them identifying the individuals” (from the article “Immigrants to Ellis Island Before 1892“). From castlegarden.org: “During this period, deceptive employers and unscrupulous money changers preyed on immigrants as they disembarked and attempted to secure work and lodging. In response, the State of New York’s Board of Emigration Commissioners established…the Emigrant Landing Depot at Castle Garden.” I hope this didn’t happen to the Ochs family!

John Ochs is next found in the 1860 census in Greenfield Township, Wayne County, Michigan (incidentally Henry Ford was born in Greenfield Township a few years later, in 1863). By this time, John was a farmer and married to Wilhelmine Mager, with two young children, John (3) and Mary (1). Heinrich (13) now went by the name Henry, and Conrad was 9. Since John and Wilhelmine’s first child was born in 1857, I presume his first wife Anna died by 1856. John and Wilhelmine had 3 more children: Minnie, Charles, and Louisa. The 1893 Wayne County Land Ownership map shows the 40 acres John owned in Dearborn.

John lived in Dearborn the rest of his life and passed away February 12, 1912 of senile decay. He is buried in Northview Cemetery. His wife Wilhelmine died in 1914.

The distillery’s bold contemporary design signals its fresh approach. (photos courtesy of the brand)

While new bourbon production is thriving across the United States, far from the spirit’s home turf in the Bluegrass State, Rabbit Hole Distillery, founded in 2012, is notable not only for its inventive approaches to the juice but also for the location of its sleek new facility—smack dab in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky. A labor of love from Kaveh Zamanian, a psychologist and wine and spirits fan who made the bold move to chase his dream, Rabbit Hole earned its sobriquet based on his Louisville-native wife’s prediction that he was “taking the family down a rabbit hole” by opening a distillery.

We’ll sidestep the psychological ramifications of ultimately exceeding your wife’s expectations, but Zamanian’s choice to set up shop in bourbon’s birthplace has delivered abundant benefits, among them access to local skill, traditions, suppliers, and hardware that dovetails nicely with his own out-of-the-box ideas on bourbon innovation.

That innovation starts in the bottles, with some unique signature mashbills.

Rabbit Hole’s Heigold bottling

Introduced in 2019, Rabbit Hole’s Heigold Kentucky Straight bourbon (about $70) nudges toward a traditional high-rye bourbon style, but it’s only just a nudge. Hiegold’s mashbill is 70% corn, 5% malted barley, and a hefty 25% malted rye (from Germany). It is also bottled at about four years of barreling (hence qualifying for the straight bourbon label) and slightly over-proof at 47.5% ABV. The malted barley and rare malted rye components amp up the pour’s sweetness and complexity and deliver a toasty creaminess followed by an expected high-rye peppery finish.

Zamanian’s wife, Heather, not only inspired the operation’s name, but also Rabbit Hole’s sherry-finished offering, Dareringer PX (about $80), which gets a kiss of Pedro Ximenez casking in exquisite barrels produced by Spain’s Casknolia Cooperage. While most distilleries would simply decant their core bourbon product for sherry cask finishing, Rabbit Hole developed a separate mashbill for this product of 68% corn, 18% wheat and 14% malted barley. The formula just plain works with the sherry casking finish and delivers some subtle dried cherry sweetness in the bourbon mix.

Rabbit Hole’s Cavehill Kentucky Straight bourbon

The distillery’s Cavehill Kentucky Straight bourbon (about $60) might come across as simply a fine example of four-grain distilling. The mashbill reads 70% corn, 10% malted wheat (and malting wheat is already pretty unique), and 10% malted barley—but instead of rye, the “fourth” grain is an additional 10% hit of honey-malted barley. Honey-malting is a special process that reduces oxygen exposure during the barley’s germination and cooking that increases sweetness while reducing the roasted flavor of the grain source. So, expect some unique fruity decadence reminiscent of baked goods along with a nice high-corn bourbon smack smoothed out by the malted wheat.

Heather and Kaveh, at ease

We caught up with Kaveh Zamanian to not only take a look at the estimable work he’s done, but also talk a little bit about Rabbit Hole’s future:

Wine and Whiskey Globe: Most new bourbon distillers in the U.S. are opening everywhere but Kentucky. Why did you decide to base yourself in the Bluegrass State?

Kaveh Zamanian: To me, Kentucky represents the major leagues, and I wanted to go head-to-head with the established big guys. But, what is isn’t talked about much is Kentucky’s special terroir and seasonality, which is perfect for bourbon production. At one point there were over 2,000 individual distillers here, with a lot of variation in the products. That tradition is inspiring to me as I try to elevate and redefine what Kentucky bourbon can be.

WWG: Rabbit Hole’s mashbills are particularly innovative. Is that development kind of a experimentation process for you?

KZ: Absolutely. Mashbills are dear to my heart and an important part of America’s whiskey tradition. We use almost a kind of culinary/test kitchen process. We started with 5-gallon stills, then progressed to 23-gallon work, inching up to larger scale production. We want to hone and define a product that way and then scale up into full production.

WWG: Your facility has been called an architectural gem, a phrase not often associated with a distillery. What is your visitor experience like?

Part of the stylish tasting areas at Rabbit Hole.

KZ: The building is really something to see, but our question going into the design was “How do we make American manufacturing an exciting and sexy thing to experience again?” Visitors get an immersive, sensory, on-the-line experience of every single aspect of the process, from soup to nuts. There is really no separation between manufacturing and hosting for us.

WWG: What’s does the future hold for Rabbit Hole?

KZ: We have a unique partnership with our distributor, Pernod, who has been instrumental in our steps to achieve both national and international distribution. Last year we were available in about 13 states, but we have recently completed our plan to be in all 50 states. International availability will start next year with the U.K. I’m am very excited about being a part of elevating American whiskey on a global scale.

I recently went to the movies with my wife and kids to watch ‘Aladdin.’  The theater was full of young families eager to snack on popcorn, sit back, and enjoy a fun (and nostalgic) movie.  After picking up a few bags of popcorn, some drinks and our tickets, I shelled out what seemed to be a small fortune (hey, we have 6 kids) and we headed to our seats to watch the movie.  Maybe it was the smell of irresistible movie theater popcorn, looking down at my children kicked-back, smiling and having a good time, or the realization that this trip to the theater cost me more than my first vehicle, but whatever, it was a thought hit me, “The movie business has GOT to be raking-in-the-dough!”

It turns out I was right.

Over $11 billion dollars were spent last year on families ‘going to the movies.’  $11 billion!  That’s like 22 large popcorn tubs at the movie theater, am I right?

Yet, while people were willing to shell-out $11 billion in movie entertainment, I’d be hesitant to give up your day job to enter the ‘movie business’ just yet!  If you don’t believe me, just ask David Cook.

Oh, who is David Cook?  He is the founder of Blockbuster Entertainment.  In 2000, Blockbuster easily sat atop the video rental industry as the ‘top-dog.’  If you or your family wanted to experience a fun and inexpensive Friday evening at home, you would just swing by the local Blockbuster store, rent a movie or two, grab some microwave movie-theater popcorn on your way to the check-out stand, and you were set.  Everyone who was anyone had a ‘Blockbuster card” which seemed almost as prevalent as drivers licenses.  But, by 2010 Blockbuster filed bankruptcy and as of 2018, there was only 1 Blockbuster store left in the United States (located in Bend, Oregon).  That’s right, hero-to-zero in just ten short years!

With the movie industry producing over $11 billion dollars in sales, you might tend to think that it would be difficult to not make some money in the movie rental business… and that is where you are wrong.  You see, despite being the leader in their industry, Blockbuster executives failed to understand the wisdom of Solomon: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven” (Ecc 3:1).

In 2000, just a year after it’s inception, Netflix founder Reed Hastings met with the executives of Blockbuster looking for a merger – some sort of way to join forces.  The merger never happened.  The executives, despite overseeing a well-oiled machine, overlooked the subtle changes in society that were allowing people even greater access to their wishes from the comfort of their own home.  That decision would cost them dearly.

You see, the problem for Blockbuster wasn’t that the culture no longer enjoyed movies.  They did…and still do!

The problem for Blockbuster wasn’t that people no longer were willing to pay for movie entertainment. They are apparently willing to spend about $11 billion a year on them.

The problem for Blockbuster was that society was changing the way they were accessing movies, and the executives for Blockbuster were either largely unaware, or, they thought that those changes wouldn’t or shouldn’t have an impact them.

They were wrong.

So why the dissertation on Blockbuster?  I think we can learn some things from them.  And, if we are not diligent in looking at the future of the Churches of Christ, it can experience the same fate.

Let me begin by saying that I both grew up in the Church of Christ and have a deep appreciation for the purpose, heart and direction of the Restoration Movement. I treasure the attempt at unity that the Churches of Christ are founded on.  There are many things that I value as a part of the Churches of Christ.  But with that being said, we, like the executives of Blockbuster, need to heed the words of Solomon and know that, apart from God, there is a season to every activity under heaven.

Much like the fact that people still enjoy, value and spend money at the movies, we do not need to feel threatened that the message of Christ is no longer valuable to our world.  It is extremely valuable! And, even better than that, people still value it, see its purpose and want to be a part of God’s kingdom work in the world today.  The method, however, is seasonal. Like the wise words of Solomon, our methods will have a season or shelf-life.

There was a time where the methods that the Churches of Christ employed to reach out, share the gospel and bring people to Christ were working.  In fact, during some of the earliest years, the Churches of Christ were among the fastest growing churches in the United States.  But culture and society changed.  And the question is, have we?

Carey Nieuwhof, a Canadian author/ pastor/ speaker, recently posted about church growth.  In his post, he stated, “What happens if you’re oblivious to the culture around you? If you’re indifferent to the culture, it should be no surprise that the culture is indifferent to you.”

One question that we have to ask is, “Is our culture indifferent to us?” Notice that the question isn’t, “Is the culture indifferent to Jesus?”  We don’t have to ask that question just just because there are plenty of churches which are growing. And, before we dismiss their growth too quickly, most of the growing churches in the United States today are bible based, place Jesus first, are committed to growing disciples, etc.  Unfortunately, the Churches of Christ have steadily declined over the last many years.  I won’t go into all the statistics on the decline of the Churches of Christ in this post, but if you would like some information on the decline of Churches of Christ in the United States, check out the following articles: http://www.michaelhanegan.com/blog/the-state-of-the-churches-of-christ-a-case-study;   https://wineskins.org/2019/04/13/churches-of-christ-in-decline-seven-things-we-can-do-to-transition-to-a-better-future/

I believe that we, like Blockbuster, have become indifferent to the world around us.  Maybe even worse, we are completely oblivious to them and to our own decline.  And, like Blockbuster, if we don’t take a closer look to see if our methods are ‘hitting the mark’ with the world around us we will become a relic of the past.

But, here is the good news – it doesn’t have to be that way! You see, Blockbuster had a chance to branch out and grow.  It didn’t mean leaving behind the movie business. It didn’t mean leaving behind everything they had every known. But what it did mean was changing the way they would be in distributing movies. It meant that they would need to learn how the culture was accessing and viewing them.  For Blockbuster, their chance came and went.  They failed to grab it and, therefore, they failed.  For the Churches of Christ, our time is now.

So, how do we do that?  Well, I’m not an ‘expert’ in church growth … but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn last night.

Ok, I didn’t actually sleep in a Holiday Inn last night.  But, after almost 20 years of ministry experience and a couple of gut-checks along the way, I have seen a few areas that we should consider as we look towards the future of the Churches of Christ.

Over the next several weeks I will be posting 5 articles dealing with how we can, in a very practical ways, begin to think and act differently so that we don’t end up like the next Blockbuster  – a valuable item that no one sees as relevant.

I hope you’ll join me on this journey!

Good evening, Vietnam-Asia House Literary Festival May 13th

Asia House has great lineup at its literary festival this month including May 13th’s debate “How much does the Vietnam War still dominate current discourse and writing on Vietnam?” Three writers will debate this issue.

From Asia House:US-Vietnamese author Quan Barry will speak on post-war Vietnam in light of her new book She Weeps Each Time You’re Born. Joining Barry will be Uyen Luu, who has written a bestselling cook book, My Vietnamese Kitchen, which draws on stories from her background and is currently writing her second, and Lucy Cruickshanks, author of The Trader of Saigon, which looks at the war torn country in the 1980s and which was shortlisted for the Guardian Not the Booker Prize.Following the discussion will be a sampling of Vietnamese food – a perfect end to a fascinating night. Please do join us for this exploration of Vietnamese culture.”

Amitav Ghosh

On May 27, as part of the festival,  you can hear Amitav Ghosh at Waterstone’s Picadilly store. “With acclaimed best-sellers Sea of Poppies and River of Smoke, Flood of Fire now completes the Ibis Trilogy by Amitav Ghosh, a finalist for the 2015 Man Booker International Prize. Described as a mesmerising new masterpiece, Flood of Fire takes us once more into the dramatic history of China and British India at the time of the Opium Wars.”

Not part of the Asia House Event, but as long as I’m writing about Asian related literature, Daunt Books Marylebone is featuring one of my favourites, Xin Ran, on June 4th at 7pm.  She will be discussing her new book Buy Me The Sky about China’s one child policy.

From Daunt:With her unparalleled flair for bringing together remarkable stories of modern Chinese lives, Xinran returns with Buy Me the Sky, a collection of accounts of those born in China after the 1979 single-child policy. These children, often revered within their families as “little emperors,” have grown up to embody the hopes and fears of a country changing at dizzying speed.

July favourites

July or more aptly named the birthday month in my household. Mr WSQ has his birthday, Grandma WSQ has her birthday, step mom in law has her birthday, sister in law, my dearly departed Granny and I’m sure I’m missing out on someone else! So I’m sure it’s no surprise when I count birthday cake as one of July’s favourites!

Holiday prep – the one hack you need to know!

Eat beach

What a title. I feel like it needs to be followed by ‘get beach body ready in just 5 mins’. So with that in mind, here’s how to get beach body ready in less than 5 mins! Put on some spf and your choice of beach wear and go have fun! Ta da!

Right back to what I’m really talking about, the pre holiday prep, the packing, washing, sorting, organising, panicking that happens in the weeks and days before you jet off. While I adore holidays, I mean who doesn’t like a change of scenery, preparing for them is not something I can say I enjoy at all. In fact it fills me with dread. Living with anxiety means the weeks leading up to what should be a fun filled time of the year can be torturous. I am someone who has suffered from anxiety for years – this is not a new phenomenon, however post baby, it has reached new heights. What if he runs out of nappies, what if we are out for the day and I can’t heat his food, what if I drop his tin of special formula and it spills everywhere and I’m without, what if, what if, WHAT IF?!! What if nothing. It’s tiring trying to quieten down these thoughts, while simultaneously planning for your trip away. You’re conscious that you want to have everything right, not in a everything has to be perfect sense but you don’t want to upset their routine too, as most little ones are massive fans of routine. Happy baby = happy family.

Favourites – mostly from June

Whenever I hear the word June my internal jukebox kicks into gear and starts playing Smashing Pumpkins 1979, albeit mid song, funny how words can do that.

I digress, June was jam packed full of favourites starting off with an oldie but a goodie.

I’m a sucker for skincare, some might call me an addict, in fact I have called myself an addict,  I am in the midst of a full blown addiction to L’Occitane Shea Cleansing Oil. I spotted this in store one afternoon, but not wanting to be coerced into buying it by an over eager shop assistant I went off and did my own research. Would an oil really do a good job of cleaning off my make up, without causing spots? Was it going to leave a greasy film on my skin? Would it be relagated to the cupboard for all eternity. I’d used Dermalogica Pre Cleanse in the past but the yearly price hikes put me off. The truth is those price hikes have meant that they’ve lost me as a customer, you can get as good quality products for a better price, even taking into account the sometimes larger bottles.

Loccitane Shea Cleansing Oil

May Favourites

I missed April, well technically I didn’t, it was a whirlwind kicked off my celebrating Little A’s big 1. That year went by in a flash, as did the last two months, I mean how is it June? Don’t get me wrong I’m delighted it’s June, with it’s longer days, and no I don’t mean actually being awake longer due to the fact the little one is waking earlier thanks to the brighter mornings, warmer air and the general cheery disposition people have at this time of the year. Summer time is just beginning and the BBQ is fired up!

Baby bits and bobs I couldn’t live without

Wishfulstylequeen and Little A
Baby sling in action!

In my circle of friends we’re in the middle of a baby boom. Within the space of a couple of years, we’ve gone from a group of girls, still thinking we’re in our early twenties to a group of mums with enough little ones to start up our own childcare facility(not a bad idea!)

This group provided me with invaluable knowledge on what to get in preparation for the arrival of Little A. Sometimes the recommendations were overwhelming, how are there so many different brands of breast pump? What do you mean rent one?! But one piece of advice came from everyone. Less is more. You don’t need EVERYTHING in Mothercare before the baby arrives, and if you find you really need that baby swingy rocker thing, you can buy it and get it delivered straight to your door.

One year on here is my list of things I could not live without.

March favourites

You are my favourite wishfulstylequeen

Another month that seemed to whizz past in the blink of an eye. I’ve been busy getting my head around the fact that Little A is turning one this month. In one sense I cannot believe that this day last year I was in labour, thinking he’d arrive any second, oh the naivety, it feels so long ago, like Little A has always been here and in another sense how did my baby turn into a toddler?!

March was a great month, with plenty of bank holidays, and while it was still chillier than a cold room in a butchers, the longer evenings started showing promise of the long awaited summer.

St Patrick’s Day was spent trekking west to Mayo, travelling through some amazing local parades, I felt incredibly proud to be Irish. The sense of community was evident, a wonderful moment to stop and appreciate that togetherness.

Easter weekend involved plenty of chocolate, delicious roast grub and some lovely walks as a small family, and more with the whole gang.

I tried a lot of new things in March but I managed to whittle it down to two favourites, one beauty and one baby. It’s safe to say my beauty pick has soared to the dizzying heights of my hall of fame. Yes it’s THAT good!

Skin saviour – Indeed Labs Hydraluron

My name is Emma and I’m a skincare products addict. There I said it. I’m not ashamed of it. It’s true – like so many women I adore skincare. In fact I get given out to when I pass a pharmacy, as I inherently start heading towards the doors. It doesn’t matter who I’m with I find a reason to go inside, currently you might hear me saying ‘ooh I desperately need to get x, y, z FOR THE BABY!’

I was never a big drinker but I liked a drink.  I wouldn’t say I had a problem with alcohol but I never wanted to have one either.

I was a social drinker at university which is where I really learned how to drink!  I started in the first year on pints of cider and matured into vodka until I fell out with that and never touched it again!  I became a budwieser girl until, in my 20’s, married with a home, I progressed onto wine.  By this point I was in the police which was pretty full on and drinking was part of the culture.  Whether you met in the police bar after work or went out clubbing at the weekend, drinking was central to socialising.  Then drinking became what you did to relax, to wind down after a tough day.  Until, most nights, I was drinking a bottle of wine.  So was everyone else.

I left the police in 2014 and the drinking continued.  I didn’t like it.  I had always wrestled with it.  A couple of Lent abstentions had been alcohol specific.  But I had always gone back to it.  Family gatherings revolved around wine.  Holidays revolved around wine.  One particularly famous one in our household revolved around Bacardi.  There were some hallucinations and hangovers during that three weeks!  But some great photos!

Then I was 40 all of a sudden and the handovers were debilitating.  It was like a game of Russian Roulette.  Some days it would feel like I hadn’t had a drink (I kidded myself), some days I just barely got through on regular doses of nurofen until I could get back to bed.  Those nights I didn’t drink.  Go me!

I never drank more than a bottle of wine.  I hate being out of control and a bottle was a comfortable limit for me.

And I hated myself.  I hated waking up in the morning feeling disappointed with myself.  I hated the argument in my head – to drink or not to drink.  I hated giving in although it was easier to give in and buy the wine.  I hated the hangover and I hated the vicious circle.  I hated wasting time, laying in bed, feeling rotten.

One morning that same self-loathing monologue was playing over in my head as I drove my husband to the railway station.  By the time I got home I had decided I needed to do something and stop wearing myself out with the hatred.  I googled – what I don’t know – and Hello Sunday Morning popped into the search results.  I signed up.  I text hubby and told him.  He signed up.  And that was that.  April 2014.  We haven’t had an alcoholic drink since.

Hello Sunday Morning, or HSM ,isn’t magic.  It isn’t a quick fix or a gimmick.  It didn’t cost any money.  It was just a motivator for us, a support network.  Every Sunday I would get a notification asking me to sign in.  Every Sunday I did.  A time bar would notify me how many weeks I had completed.  Obviously the premise of it being about Sunday Morning is that you get to celebrate the morning that would generally be lost to a hangover.  And I did!  In my vintage job I get to go to boot fairs every Sunday morning, bright and early.  Every Sunday morning I would shout “Hello Sunday Morning” to the sun rise.  Obviously anonymously in my car as I drove along with the windows closed.  Hubby did the same on his early morning long bike ride in the hills around where we live.

And the weeks just flew by.  Well after the first month.  That was tough.  I’m glad we had the site and each other.  But after that it was easy.  We just never thought about it.

Sometimes I would post a blog on the site updating where I was up to.  I often read about other people’s progress.  People’s success is a great motivator as can people’s failures be.  But the site is encouraging and motivating.  If people fall off the wagon and they admit it they are helped back up, if they want to be.  It is a choice.

During that 12 months the site was incredibly important to both of us.  As the 12 months drew to an end people started asking what we would be drinking first?  Were we excited about finally getting a glass of wine?  Could they be with us?  How funny it would be to see us drunk again…

We started wrestling again.  Did we want to drink?  Weren’t we happy like this?  What would be a positive about drinking?  Do we need to drink?

And the happy conclusion was that we are now 4 months into our second HSM.

Ten Good Things About Not Drinking

  1. I don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed when I speak to people wondering if I have wine breath!
  2. No hangovers.  Ever.  If I have a headache it’s because I am dehydrated so I just drink some water and it goes.  I never feel sick unless I am actually ill.  I haven’t been ill since I gave up drinking.
  3. No stress about who will drive!
  4. No waking up thinking oh my goodness what did I say / do / lose???
  5. Having a nice drink with a meal out rather than a glass of wine that you endure which tastes horrid.
  6. My skin has improved tremendously.  As have my wrinkles!
  7. My energy levels are much improved and I don’t long for my bed all day.
  8. Another negative voice / self-loathing monologue out of my head.
  9. Obviously there are positive health implications.
  10. The incredible amount of money we have saved.  Drinking costs more than just the bottle of wine (and my bottle cost £12 by the end as I desperately tried to buy a hang over free day).  There are the snacks and then the crap you eat the next day to try to stave off the hangover.

In those 16 months both of us have changed careers.  I am now a full time vintage dealer, a lot less money than I ever earned in the police.  Hubby is now training to be an accountant.  I have no idea how we would have afforded to carry on drinking now.  But I’m glad that we haven’t afforded to carry on drinking.  I’m glad that for the choice we have made, to stop pouring our money down the drain, that we get to go on holiday still, we get to have days out and we get to spend happy hours together. Without me snapping at the poor bloke because I am tired and hung-over.

Witness from Amnesty International

Oct 6, 2020

Your phone rings. Within seconds, it’s infected with secret spyware that's tracking everything you do. From Mexico to Morocco, some of the most insidious attacks on human rights activists, including the targeting of one of Amnesty’s own team, have been waged using spyware manufactured by NSO Group, a major player in the secretive surveillance industry.  NSO’s Pegasus malware can turn on your phone’s microphone and camera without your knowledge, access your emails and texts, track your keystrokes, and collect data about you.  Amnesty’s Danna Ingleton and a team of Amnesty Tech Investigators race against the clock to expose this spyware and stop it being used against activists.

‘.. imagine the fear of thinking that actually at any moment you could be being recorded. This is a purchased big brother and nobody's batting an eyelash that this is going on.’

Lisa Fruchtman

Born 1948

Lisa Fruchtman is a film and television editor and documentary director with twenty-five film credits. After interning with a documentary film group in the USA, Fruchtman spent a year developing her editing skills at the National Film Board of Canada and then returned to the states, where she began working as an assistant editor for Francis Ford Coppola on The Godfather Part II. Later, as an editor, she worked on two other Coppola films: Apocalypse Now (co-edited with Richard Marks, Gerald B. Greenberg and Walter Murch) and The Godfather Part III (co-edited with Barry Malkin and Walter Murch). Both films were nominated for Best Editing Oscars. Fruchtman (and her co-editors Glenn Farr, Tom Rolf, Stephen A. Rotter and Douglas Stewart) won an Oscar for Philip Kaufman’s The Right Stuff. Her first film with solo editing credit was for Randa Haines’ Children of a Lesser God.

“He [Coppola] surrounds himself with a lot of different kinds of collaborators—not only great artists but also very nuts and bolts people, so it’s kind of like all the different parts of the job are taken up by his team and he’s free to be wildly imaginative because he depends on all of us to execute the vision without actually being told what to do. He never says, “Do this” or “Do that” or “Cut here” or anything ever like that. He’s rarely in the cutting room. He likes to see what you come up with and then screen it separately or in the context of a cut and then give you some vague direction about how it could be better and let you go back and figure it out. And for me, that was a very exciting and creative process. For some people, it might be maddening. For the studio, it was certainly maddening.”
From “The Art of the Edit,” a 2017 interview with Lisa Fruchtman. The link to the full video can be found in the appendix.

Groundhog Insurrection

Dr, Gary, Davis, Clueless, Christians, Groundhog, holiday, snow, winter, Phil                  After this past week of weather catastrophes it seemed a propitious time for a little fun. So let’s start with this odd question— What kind of culture could ever choose a Ground-hog’s emergence from his burrow and turn it into a national event?!? I mean, really!?!

Well…, that would be the United States. No other nation would use free-speech so frivolously. Nonetheless, in the northern hemisphere, it is the dead of winter. It’s dreary. It’s Sno-maggedon. Depressing. SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder, blankets every city, county, and state. It’s a wonder we get through it at all. But we do have our skiing, snow-boarding, winter camping…, and warm fires, and hot chocolate, not to mention hot-tubs in the snow; 12+” more today. AND, Punxsutawney Phil, or Pete, or whoever it is now. Patricia? NAH! Real men would never stand for it.

First celebrated in Morgantown, PA (1841) on Candlemas Day, Groundhog Day was the forecaster of a second bout of winter or the heralding of an early Spring, depending on whether the little rodent saw his shadow. But earlier forms of GhD have been noted in both Germany & Scotland, two countries which definitely need an early Spring.

In my winters, getting out of bed in the dark just seems wrong. The cold, I can take. The snow, I love! But early mornings…, in the dark of winter! Not so much. What does get my warm feet on the cold floor is the thought that, today, I may just make a difference in someone else’s life. Right before the blizzard hit last week I handed a $20 bill to a homeless person. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said, “Thank you. I’m going to go get something to eat, now.

Maybe we can’t change the weather with our actions, but we can most definitely change other things. Might I suggest we start with ourselves— then move on to help others grow. Small acts are sometimes quite significant in the lives of others.

                  What can you do today to improve another person’s life?  Not to feel good about yourself, or for some kind of recognition; simply do something for someone else because it’s the right thing to do.

So venture forth, Punxsutawney Phil, it’s a new day! You work on Spring: We’ll work on today, and tomorrow, and the day after that. Stay calm; and dig out…, again.

Honor God, honor people…, make a difference,

I don't think I can even file for unemployment or can I? I'm continuing to work and attend meetings. It seems like a bad idea for me to be actively checking code into their source control system if I'm not getting paid. It's a startup seeking additional venture capital. I also haven't been reimbursed for flying to their headquarters to work for a few days.

CA unemployment says I'm performing work for someone so ineligible. I'm applying elsewhere, but I have to pay rent and other bills long before I can get a check from someone else. If I quit and start work full time, I think I become ineligible.

    Check your contract, was there any agreement even informal that you may have to wait on funds? If not then they have to pay you. – Kilisi Oct 29 '19 at 21:37

    @Killsi The employment agreement says nothing about delays in payment. – Wilfred Smith Oct 29 '19 at 21:38

    @Killsi I don't think it's that easy. – Wilfred Smith Oct 29 '19 at 21:47
  • It never is, but you need to be direct as in Joes answer, and proactive if the response isn't acceptable. – Kilisi Oct 29 '19 at 21:49

My employer is postponing my FIRST paycheck due to a funding shortfall; what can I do?

Postpone any work for this company until they have paid you for your work and have been reimbursed for your business travel. If you have not been paid within a week, report them to your state's Attorney General. Finally, start looking for a new company to work for. If I were you, I would avoid startups as they are usually not very stable with regards to financials and a normal working environment.

    Your state's Department of Labor would also be a good place to contact if you have not been paid for work performed. – saritonin Oct 31 '19 at 20:25

    "If I were you, I would avoid startups" I think this is going a smidge too far. Startups can be great but you should know what you are getting into. – user111472 Nov 4 '19 at 9:14

I don't think I can even file for unemployment or can I?

You cannot file for or collect unemployment while you are employed.

And in general, you cannot collect unemployment benefits if you quit. But check with your state's unemployment office to see if you can collect unemployment benefits if you quit in your specific circumstances. Do this before you decide to quit. Only your state's office can actually determine your eligibility.

You can ask your employer when you can expect to get paid.

If you don't get a good answer, you can call your local Department of Labor and State Attorney General's office.

Meanwhile, you can try hard to get your next job with a company who can actually pay their employees.

    If they have already missed a pay date, and they have failed to reimburse him as promised for his air travel, and it sounds as though they have, OP should talk to the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency as soon as he/she possibly can, if only to get their advice and give them a heads-up that he may be needing their help in the very near future. State employment commissions in the US have a LOT of power to pull employers into line, and they are in general not the slightest bit shy or hesitant about wielding that power, when they deem it appropriate. – John R.

  • If they are not paying the OP then they are not employed that's basic frustration of contract law 101 – Neuromancer Oct 29 '19 at 22:57
  • I would have thought that contract law is the same in the USA as the UK, I suspect the OP gave the SS office grounds for refusing - the OP still thinks they are employed and said as much – Neuromancer Oct 30 '19 at 20:23

    It's worth pointing out that if you quit your job because you haven't been paid you can collect unemployment benefit in every jurisdiction I've encountered. – DJClayworth Oct 31 '19 at 20:02

    I can confirm what @DJClayworth said, usually this comes down to "constructive dismissal". Not being paid is a very clear and strong reason for constructive dismissal. – Hugo Zink Nov 1 '19 at 12:22

No, the accepted answer is not really correct.

It's not the State Attorney General. It will be quicker if you file directly with the Labor Commissioner's Office of California.

File a claim for unpaid wages with the Labor Commissioner’s Office. https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/HowToFileWageClaim.htm

The advice to stop work is good also.

Also, if they're not paying you and you quit because of that, it's not really quitting, it's them breaching your employment contract. So check on your unemployment eligibility.

But like you said, if you're able to find another full time job right away, unemployment won't kick in. From what I remember, it takes at least one week to start from the time you've stopped working, plus one additional week for you to receive your first paycheck.

  • @JoeStrazzere, That's why I said "from the time you've stopped working". Before the time he stopped working, that's the responsibility of the Labor Department/Agency and the Labor Commissioner’s Office may even advance him the wages he's owed if the company doesn't come through (but I do not know if they'll reimburse him his traveling expenses). – Stephan Branczyk Oct 31 '19 at 21:16
  • Also, "advance" is the wrong word, because even if they can't recover the money from the original company, the Labor agency will take the hit financially, because by law, the agency is ultimately liable for stolen wages if the original employer can't pay. – Stephan Branczyk Oct 31 '19 at 21:26
  • @JoeStrazzere interesting comments but what where the questions? – Solar Mike Nov 3 '19 at 7:37
  • The point about reporting the non-payment is spot on. However, "revoke them access to any resources that are still under your ownership" could be dangerous advice. Absolutely do not hold anything ransom that belongs to your employer, such as code you wrote for them but stored in a private repository - that is legally theirs, even if they did not pay you for it, and keeping it could land you in hot water.Just report them and go job hunting. – sleske Nov 4 '19 at 7:21
  • @sleske, Point taken. – Stephan Branczyk Nov 4 '19 at 7:51
