"Hamlet On Wye"

"Hamlet on Wye" yet another place i might like to live one day. My daughter has struggles with Biology and told me that Fairy Tales are more real to her than science and can't understand why they need to know all that stuff. I have to agree. Fantasy is far easier to understand. This is not #39 but i took a wee break and thought i might post one more. I might try a WIP. Stay tuned!

  1. I think the cost of real estate would go up very quickly in your whimsical villages since the demand would outweigh the supply:-)
    I would love to see a WIP done by you, Ross.

  2. Thanks Christiane. I would hope all could afford a home here. But then it might get too crowded so would have to make another.
    I have a new one started and took a photo of the beginning stages so will post the various levels. Should be fun. Thanks for stopping by.

It won’t be long before Zara Phillips has kids

TELLY beauty Kirsty Gallacher says it may not be long until her royal pal Zara Phillips follows the Duchess of Cambridge and starts a family.
The presenter has struck up a firm friendship with Zara.
She went on the royal’s raucous hen weekend in Portugal before attending her wedding to former England rugby captain Mike Tindall in Edinburgh last year.
Kirsty became pals with Zara through her hubby, ex-Wasps rugby player Paul Sampson, who is mates with Tindall.
She said: “I know they’re up for it — Zara is wonderful with children and is absolutely fantastic with her brother Peter’s two. She’s such good fun and will be a great mum.

recap on the women looking...

So i am trying to get my math homework finished, and then i have to get my English poster done. OH ELSE i get a ZERO tomorrow. i'll hopefully get it done. i'm not tooooo sure about how well i'm going to do on my math assignment. They always put questions on there, that we never learned in class. THEY ARE SETTING US UP TO FAIL. But i'm not complaining, i mean i like how it gets my brain to work. I feel like it's growing. i am just hoping i can get some help on one or two questions tomorrow. i mean i know i will….. hopefully.

This week i've learned that, it's hard to forget about people. especially when you have donated much of your time to them.

I don't exactly have a printer at home that works... This school year is going to be different. But i will manage.

The weather is warming up. sweater weather. that's always a good sign! :) So running season can start up. cannot wait to shed these pounds. not that it matters. but my self esteem is down. no matter what people say! at least i'm doing something about it. not just whining over it.

I will never go to west ed again. that place is a fucking cult. i kinda can't wait till i'm done school. and i can get out of here. go on a wilderness adventure. and i will be more mature, won't cry over spilt milk when i'm gone this time.

be happy everyone, and do the math... i will be :(

The Location of Development (March 2016) Major project which analyses the location and scale of recent planning permissions for housing in twelve English city-regions. This study was conducted by Bilfinger GVA, and represents a first step towards better understanding the changing spatial relationships between housing, jobs and infrastructure. The overarching report and detailed maps are available, along with detailed reports for the South-West, South-East of England focusing on planning permissions for 19,000 houses in Oxford and Brighton, and on two cities in the North West, Blackburn and Warrington.

The Process for Developing Robust Housing Evidence for Local Development Plans in Wales (January 2016) RTPI Cymru commissioned a research study by the School of Planning and Geography Cardiff University to consider the process for developing robust housing projections for Local Development Plans in Wales. The full report is available here, along with a research briefing.

A manual demographic forcasting WalesA manual of integrated demographic forecasting for local planning in Wales (April 2017) provides local planning authorities with the skills for investigating housing projection data to develop robust Local Development Plans in Wales. It is based on research by the School of Planning and Geography, Cardiff University and extensive training for LPA's.

Urban Form and Sustainability (March 2015) This research briefing provides initial information and evidence on the links between urban form and sustainable outcomes. It looks at sustainability through a spatial perspective, i.e. the location of new housing developments and physical and social infrastructure.

Antiqued, Textured, Gilded Microbead Flora

A bit much for a title huh? Seriously, these will just be called Antiqued, Gilded Flora or Baroque Flora. I'm so much happier creating abstract art. When I have to make things too matchy matchy, like petal size I get uncomfortable. So these are more me...more depth, more complicated. It sounds good anyway! ;o)

Tomorrow is my birthday. Today I'm going to lunch with my Dad and tomorrow I get to have dental work fun is that...getting a crown on your birthday LOL! Have a great week everyone...

Donna Kato big beads

Miss Donna is back to claying again...yay! These may be "back to basics" for her, I think they are almost too delicious for words...! Read about the method Donna used for baking these beads.

Be sure to look around her site. If you have time, you will find some incredible photos from her travels around the world. Cruise around a bit more and see all of the lovely art her hands create. Look for the links on the top left of the page, then wait for the images to load. I promise, it's worth it!

How do you think these compare to the previous post about glass beads? Softer look, but both are alive with color... :o)

Thursday, January 24, 2008

I love lampwork...

I admit it. Yes, I work with polymer, but I regularly get inspiration from glass artists. After seeing German artist Melanie Moertel's lovely beads, I'm thinking she may get a bit of inspiration from polymer. Even if she doesn't, she's got me thinking about adding black back into the florals again :o)

More Microbead Flora

Here are my current favorites using the microbeads. I'm not quite ready to share how I'm doing them as I'm considering an article. Thanks for understanding :o)

Micro Bead Flora

No matter how I try, I can't get away from flowers. I like these, except the center is bugging me. I have some different ones ready to go today that I'll show you next week. I have dropped these on the floor many times to see if the microbeads come loose and so far they haven't. I'm going to add a thin coat of kato liquid anyway, I think...

Coloring Mandalas...

I bought this book last summer thinking it would be fun to color these when I was sitting around in front of the TV. I decided to shade each part, thinking how they would look as skinner blends. I really loved it before I added the black center and the black and yellow rings. But I still like it, I think it was a great color exercise. I've got a book full of 'em so watch for more!

Another Solo Run-Walk

I decided to run/walk outside to enjoy the beautiful morning. I used my Garmin Forerunner for mileage and the Gymboss for interval timining, and went 3.37 miles in 56 minutes, a 16:37 avg. pace. Here I thought I was going faster than my solo run last Friday, but it turns out I averaged about 20 seconds more per mile today! Yikes! Granted, I went about a mile and a half longer today than I did on Friday, and that's worth something! Still, I really want to speed up. Maybe I'll start working in some speedwork.

Ruthie On The Road, Update

It's been an amazing Summer:

I met the man who bought me the motel room and provided me with a good
meal in Nebraska. He was so happy to help that the smile stayed on his
face from the time that we met to the moment that we said goodbye.

I wasn’t always that lucky. One night I fell fast asleep in a gazebo
in the middle of a park with a hotshot of 100% DEET spray in my right

I was also left to spend the night, at one point, in my sleeping bag,
on a concrete sidewalk in the village of Brady, Nebraska. The walkway,
which was lit up, wound up and around a train track. I scrunched down
in my sleeping bag and rested my head on my backpack. Every time the
train chugged by the whistle and the vibrations interrupted my dreams
about “The Children Of The Corn.”

A cat finally joined me at about three a.m. That was the only friend
that I ever found in that town.

But down the line, a preacher and his wife rescued me. I ate dinner
with them in a fog and then closed my eyes in yet another motel bed.
The next day, a young couple picked me up and drove me to their home.
They made arrangements and put me in a room at a Best Western that
featured a king-sized bed, fat towels and a flat screen TV.

The next day they took me to a small town where I had to wait until
one o’clock the next morning before I boarded an Amtrak train. I was
left on my own and opted to stay in the waiting room at the local
police station. Late that night, an officer drove me over to the

When I watched the train pulling in, I thought, “This time I get to
RIDE the train instead of just watching it go by.”

The seats were big and I got two to myself. I sat by the window and
put my backpack on the seat beside me. The vibrations rocked me to
sleep, but the whistle intermittently interrupted my dreams about
“More Children In The Corn.”

The train was filthy and it stunk. When I went downstairs to use the
restroom, a creepy guy stood by the door. I glared at him. When I glared at him he decided to leave me

The bathroom was gross. I’ve seen a cleaner one on a Greyhound bus.

In the morning, I walked back to the dining car and was seated by a
waitress. The coffee tasted like instant, the omelet was thin and the
grits were congealed and cold. The biscuits and the orange juice were
the only saving grace. But their comfort was quickly lost when the
server brought me a bill for twelve-dollars.

I had just enough money left to buy a bed in a mom-and-pop motel that night. So
I left the train and the rest of the ticket to Indiana in a pit stop
town in Iowa. I walked out of the depot and went looking for food, a
bathtub and a bed.

I finally found it and left the next morning. I was still tired. But I
figured that I had miles to go before I would sleep again. To my
surprise, that isn’t what happened.

I ended up on an on ramp outside of yet another small city and stuck
out my thumb.

About twenty-minutes later, two cops pulled up in two separate
cruisers. All for me.

They got me two bottles of water and drove me back to their station. A
big, tall preacher man eventually strode in and offered me a choice.
He said that I could either get a motel room for the rest of the day
and that night or get a meal.

I took the room. I took it not only because I was still tired but also
out of spite. The guy was cranky and made me walk back to the west
side of town to the motel.

When I got there, the manager of the motel bought me dinner. After I
ate, I fell asleep…for hours.

The next day, I walked and walked and walked back across town again. I
was still about a mile from the on ramp when I heard a voice behind me.
I turned around and a lady with a big grin asked me if I needed a ride

I got in her rig and we talked for awhile. And as we shared conversation, she drove and drove and drove.

Finally, the woman bought me a Trailways bus ticket to Indiana. (Her
husband produces infomercials that are broadcast everywhere.) She gave
me $100 and a hug. I got on the bus and she disappeared.

When I got to the bus station in Indianapolis, I found out that I
would have to stay there all night.

I also found out that there is no branch of my bank in either
Indianapolis or the city that I was planning to finally end up at.

(Update will continue soon...)

Neve Daniel to the Rescue!

Yom rishon, 26 Elul 5773.

"An army marches on its stomach." ~ Napoleon Bonaparte

I have had many opportunities to be amazed by my Neve Daniel neighbors -- so it should really be "old news" by now. But I remain in awe of these people.

Here's the story.

We received word that 80-100 young soldiers had spent Shabbat without food Apparently, these soldiers were sent just before Shabbat to replace 40 who had been moved closer to the north. And when the 40 left, the kitchen was entirely dismantled -- and there was no replacement kitchen, nor fuel for preparing food, and also no MREs. ("Meals Ready to Eat" -- manot krav in Hebrew -- is the modern version of the Spam and candy bar "C-ration" culinary delights that soldiers were issued to keep them alive when they were away from the mess hall.) MREs, we were told, are too expensive to use when it's not quite war-time.

My contact got details from the mem-pay (company commander) in charge. The new arrivals did have food Thursday morning, before leaving their regular base. For lunch en route, they received still-frozen schnitzels, due to the fact that they were "jumped" (reassigned) unexpectedly; and there were not enough for everyone. Dinner simply "didn't happen."

It seems that when the new recruits left their base, it was thought the country was heading to battle. According to IDF policy, in war-time, warehouses are opened and everything needed is provided. However, by the time this group arrived at their new mini-base, the country was not heading to battle, but heading to "wait and see."  No battle. No MREs.

To compensate while the army sorted out the logistical difficulties of getting dietary infrastructure set up after the fact for dozens of soldiers, an army vehicle picked up food from the machsom base about ten to fifteen minutes up the road (that was still being manned by boarder guards and police) and delivered food to the mini-base, but not enough for everyone.  They shared.... and some were still hungry. As one of the boys said, "If you were in the back of the line and the bread ran out, you just didn't get."

So a lot of strapping 18- to 23-year-olds sat around through Shabbat, without sufficient calories. Please don't ask me how this happened, how the army could let this happen, why the army didn't find a way to fix it on its own. This is the definition of the famous army term, SNAFU: Situation Normal, All Fouled Up. And even though there will be people who will assume the SNAFU is an "only in Israel" experience, I can tell you from my US army experience, its not. I can tell you many stories of logistics in the US army that simply went awry, due to situations such as this, where a unit arrived ahead of the planning. Certainly it can happen under the stress of impending war.

What is an only-in-Israel experience is what happened in less than an hour in Neve Daniel. Word was put out on the local chat list.

Eighty soldiers have been without food through the entire Shabbat. A driver is coming to Chez Mizrachi to pick up whatever food we can gather. Please help!

It appeared after that post went out that we should have said "without adequate food," in fairness to the army... but that's the problem with the game of "telephone." But this story isn't about how the IDF is made of humans who make normal, human mistakes. It's about my home town.

Neighbors called, came with Shabbat leftovers, sent children with bags and boxes of everything they had available. The atmosphere was festive, very energized, as only a last-minute group mitzvah can be.

In a very short time, the bounty piled up. The Dearly Beloved now has an evil plan for how to cover the Rosh Hashana groceries at Beit Mizrachi.

It was loaded up in the car, and driven off to its destination by another member of the yishuv.

These were leftovers??? This town eats well, baruch Hashem.

The best part of the story is that I live in a wonderful town, filled with loving, caring, helpful people, who will drop everything and rush to aid a fellow Jew at a moment's notice.

As our delivery person said: "It was not [as it turned out] an emergency. Our children had not been put in a situation with NO food for two days. Assessing how hungry and why hungry... I have to leave that to emptier stomachs than mine. What I can tell you is that these guys, half of whom who will not be home for Rosh Hashana, are enormously grateful for the food, the concern and the love shown them this evening by the good folks of this yishuv. I only wish you could have seen the guys pouring out of the caravanim as they heard that food had arrived. So grateful!"

I am grateful, too, Neve Daniel. Thank you for making us proud. Thank you for caring for your soldiers, and for "being there," as we knew you would.

Emulsions - Part 2

English Method (Wet Method)

The acacia solution is place in a mortar and a small quantity of the oil is added. (The amount of oil to be added at one time depends on the quantity of emulsion being prepared). The pestle is rapidly and lightly rotated, dashing the oil into globules, which are prevented from coalescing by the intervention of the emulsifying agent. It is advisably necessary to add an additional portion of the oil at this point, but as emulsification progresses and the nucleus grows, it will also be necessary to add water occasionally to maintain the proper consistency.

Example of Emulsion using English Method

To prepare 120 ml of a 50% emulsion of cod liver oil the following shall be needed:

Oil                                60 ml
Acacia                            15 g
Purified Water, q.s.  __________
            To make           120 ml

Add 15 ml of water to the acacia to make the mucilage and being adding oil in approximately 2 ml portion, increasing the quantity slightly as the emulsion develops.

The English Method is slower and calls for considerable care and skill and recognition of various conditions which should or may develop in the emulsification process. In this method the emulsifying agent is always used in liquid form, as represented by mucilages of acacia, tragacanth, or chondrus, agar solution, egg yolk, etc. This requires, as in the case of acacia, which preferably used, that thick mucilage is prepared. To make satisfactory mucilage of acacia, granular acacia should be mixed in a mortar with an equal quantity of water added all at once, while stirring with the pestle. This will eliminate lumps and produce smooth mucilage in a very short time. It is advisable to dilute the original mucilage slightly by the addition of a little more water. The amount of oil to emulsified, although a smaller quantity may serve the purpose equally well.

When to add water and when to add oil is a question which must be mastered by those who attempt to use the English Method. It may resolve itself into a case of alternating one with the other but the question depends entirely on how much of either is added at a time. If too much water is added and the emulsion additional becomes too thin, it will be impossible to emulsify additional oil. Like, if insufficient water is added, the emulsion becomes too thick and “cracks” because there is not enough aqueous mucilage to cover the globules of the oil present. The emulsion must be kept of such consistency that the pestle makes a characteristic crackling sound as it spins around the mortar. This crackling sound is due to the thick emulsion, or mucilage stretching out between the sides of the mortar and the pestle, and snapping back as it finally breaks away from one or the other. At this stage the emulsion should be smooth and creamy in appearance and show a high uniform gloss throughout. On the other hand when cracking develops, the emulsion loses its uniform gloss and takes on a “pearly” appearance, showing a definite sheen and evidence of free oil globules. Should this occur, it is often possible to save the emulsion by setting it aside for a few minutes, to allow progress of the separation. Much of the air which has likely been beaten into the emulsion separates and the oil and aqueous phases become more pronounced. If water is now added and the mixture triturated, the emulsion will immediately turn normal. If too little water is found to have been added, trituration should be discontinued, the emulsion set aside for a few minutes then more water added and the mixture triturated. But if too much water has been added the emulsion may become so thin that it will be impossible to emulsify any additional oil. In this case a new mucilage may be prepared and the broken emulsion reclaimed by adding it slowly to the new mucilage. When all of the oily mixture has been incorporated, the emulsion may be brought to its final volume by the addition of water, preferably added in small portions.

It is an accepted fact that the smaller the oil globules, the slower the rater of creaming; thus according to Stoke’s Law – if an oil globule is cut in half, the creaming rate is reduced to one-fourth. Consequently, the longer is the trituration given to the emulsion while in its original thick condition; the better is the finished emulsion.

The Continental Method (4-2-1 Method) or (Dry Method)

When a hand homogenizer is not available the Continental Method is preferred over the English Method because it will produce an emulsion more quickly. The Continental Method has a real merit of never failing to produce a good emulsion if the proportions are maintained in forming the nucleus and if the directions are strictly followed. For olive oil, cod liver oil, and castor oil the proportion must be “one-half as much water as oil, and one-half as much acacia as water” or “4 oil, 2 water, 1 acacia”. This produces only the nucleus although all of the oil is emulsified, so additional water should be finally added to dilute the emulsion to the proper strength. The method consists in the following: - the acacia, in fine powder, is added to the oil and mixed intimately (powdered acacia is the only natural gum which produces a good emulsion by the Continental Method when a mortar and pestle are used). The 2 parts of the water is added all at once, while stirring vigorously with the water and the mucilage thus formed envelops the oil globules which result from the active stirring of the mixture. Considerable skill is required in handling the mortar and pestle at this point. Trituration must be fast and must cover the entire surface of the mortar to maintain until the mixture becomes very thick and a “perfect nucleus” is formed. Then additional water may be added as required.

The powdered acacia should not be triturated with the oils longer than just enough to mix the two intimately. If the oil and acacia are allowed to remain contact any appreciable time, the acacia imbibes the oil.  This causes the oil to dissolve poorly when water is added and interferes with emulsification. Using the Continental Method, it is essential that the acacia dissolves very rapidly when water is added to the oil and acacia mixture. The following factors are very important in producing a satisfactory emulsion using Continental Method:

1. Use of a dry mortar
2. Correct proportion of ingredient
3. Measuring oil in a dry graduate
4. Adding all at once two parts of water
5. Rapid and continued trituration

The pestle should be lightly held between the thumb and the first two fingers and it should be rotated entirely by a finger and wrist motion to obtain the speed which is highly essential. The head of the pestle should be forced against the curve of the mortar and not rotated with a purely circular motion in order to produce a shearing action on the oil globules.

In making Continental emulsions of some oils, other than standard cod liver oil or castor oil type, it is a necessity to change the proportions of the ingredients. In case of oil of turpentine the proportion is “3 oil, 2 water and 1 acacia”. For liquid petrolatum the proportion is “2, 2 and 1”.

Addition of Salt, Syrup and other ingredients:

It is a general rule that when salts, syrups (as flavoring) and alcohol (preservative) are to be added to emulsions, they should be dissolved in or diluted with water before adding to the emulsion. Salts ionize in solution and if carelessly added to the emulsion, they will neutralize the charge on the dispersed phase and cause the oil globules to coalesce. If salts are added in concentrated solution, they may break the emulsion by a dehydration process, taking water away from the interface. Syrup added in a concentrated form may cause emulsion to break due to dehydration at the interface.

If an ingredient in an emulsion prescription of formula is soluble in a substance which is to become the inner or dispersed phase, it should be dissolved in that substance first before any attempt is made to make emulsion.

Hand Homogenizer

Hand Homogenizer in small scale production may be used for preparing either O/W or W/O emulsions. In both instances, the technique is the same. The water-soluble ingredient and the oil-soluble ingredients are combined separately, using appropriate technique to obtain a solution in each case. These two phases are shaken together in a bottle or otherwise thoroughly mixed and the rough emulsion which forms is pumped through the homogenizer several times. The hand homogenizer eliminates all failures due to faulty techniques. If unsatisfactory emulsion results the fault usually will be found in the formula employed.

Special Emulsions

1. Transparent Emulsions – known also as Micro-emulsions, are clear, colloidal dispersions of one liquid dispersed in another. The resultant emulsion is clear because the particle size of the dispersed phase is probably in the range of 100 – 600A. Some uncertainty still exists as to the demarcation line between micro-emulsion and clear dispersion brought about by micelle formation (solubilization). Unfortunately, no exact methods are presently available to distinguish solubilized oil from one which can be called micro-emulsions.

According to Osipow there are 3 important aspects of micro-emulsion theory:

(a) The combination of emulsifying agents and their concentration must be such as to produce a metastable negative interfacial tension.
(b) The emulsifier interphase must not be too highly condensed.
(c) The molecules of the oil phase must be able to interpenetrate or associate with the mixed interfacial film constituting the interphase.

One of the chief advantages of micro-emulsions is that they are thermodynamically stable; no emulsifying equipment is needed to produce the emulsion. It is very important that the emulsion formula be designed in such a manner that the micro-emulsion will be formed.

2. Gum-Resin Emulsions – these are prepared from asafetida, ammoniac, etc. which are usually misnamed since they are not true emulsions but suspensions. To prepare them, the materials are crushed and only a small portion of water added at first, just sufficient to make a heavy paste. When this becomes uniform, additional water is gradually added with constant stirring.

3. Seed – Emulsion – This is made by triturating oil seeds such as almond seeds in water. They are examples of emulsions prepared without added emulsifying agents, since all the ingredients necessary for emulsification are in the seeds themselves. Preparation is the same as the gum – resin emulsions.

4. Emulsions of Phenyl Salicylate (Salol) – this type of emulsion may be compounded by dissolving the salol in the oil with the aid of a little heat and then proceeding in the usual manner to make an emulsion.

5. Emulsions of Volatile Oils – an example of emulsions of volatile oils is the Turpentine Oil Emulsion which is made by the Forbes’ Method. This is suitable for oils particularly volatile oils which are capable of being dispersed as minute globules by shaking in a bottle. In another common method of emulsification the volatile oil is mixed with a bland fixed oil, the latter imparting sufficient viscosity to the mixture to allow use of the regular continental method.

Emulsions may be intended for: (1) oral use (2) parenteral use and (3) external use.

Emulsions for Oral Use:
This kind of emulsions should contain ingredients which have been proved by both animal and clinical experience to be safe. There should be adequate testing for the safety of the final product. Legal requirements with respect to stability of the active ingredients and of the final product may require further testing. Most oral emulsions will require one or more flavoring agents to improve the palatability of the product. Flavors should be considered from the standpoint of possible long-term use of the product. In general, the flavor or blend of flavors should be dissolved in the aqueous phase, but there are instances where it might be advantageous to have the flavor in the oil phase, as for instance with very distasteful oils. All oral emulsion products should be in such manner that the product will remain free of the effects of bacteria, molds or yeasts. This is particularly important for emulsions which contain gums and similar organic substances. An extremely efficient preservative in emulsion products is alcohol in 10 – 15% concentration. Other chemical agents useful as preservatives are: benzoic acid (0.2%), parahydroxybenzoates (0.1 -0.2%), sorbic acid (0.2%) and benzalkonium chloride (0.1%).

Antioxidant and buffers may be incorporated into the emulsion product for a specific purpose and should be selected as judiciously as preservative agents.

Emulsions for Parenteral Use:
Oil – in – water (O/W) emulsions develop suitable intravenous preparations for a number of specific clinical uses. By far the most important use made of emulsions is the incorporation of fats and oils with high caloric contents in preparations to be administered intravenously to patients who cannot ingest food and by the other routes. The emulsion must be non-toxic, sterile and pyrogen-free. Some parenteral emulsions are used for diagnostic purposes – example, contrast medium.

Emulsions for External Use:
All external emulsion products, whether for therapeutic or cosmetic use, must be esthetically acceptable. It is very important to consider the texture, aroma, staining characteristics and color, since these may mean the success of failure of the emulsion.

Packaging of Emulsion

There are three considerations for choosing packaging for emulsions.
1. Esthetic quality of the final package
2. Protective effect of the package on the product
3. Utility of the package to the user

It is necessary that packaging materials should be one which will not release a constituent into the emulsion system nor sorb one or more of the ingredients.

Example of Emulsion

Liquid Petrolatum Emulsion, NF

Other Names: Emulsum Petrolati Liquidi; Mineral Oil Emulsion and Liquid Paraffin Emulsion

Mineral Oil                   500 ml
Acacia, v.f.p.                 125 g
Syrup                            100 ml
Vanillin                          40 mg
Alcohol                          60 ml
Purified Water, q.s.     _________
          To make              1000 ml

Mix the mineral oil with the powdered acacia in a dry mortar, add 250 ml of purified water all at once, and emulsify the mixture. Add in divided portions, triturating after each addition, a mixture of syrup, 50 ml of purified water and the vanillin dissolved in the alcohol. Then add sufficient quantity of purified water to make the product measure 1000 ml and mix well.

Uses: Intestinal lubricant and cathartic.

Dose: Usual is 30 ml.

Note: Other methods of emulsification may be used and the quantity of acacia may be reduced or replaced by agar, gelatin, tragacanth or mixtures of any of these provided the resulting emulsion is similar in viscosity and appearance to the emulsion made by the given formula. Vanillin may be replaced by not more than 1% of any other official flavoring substance or mixture of official flavoring substances. 60 ml of sweet orange peel tincture or 2 g of benzoic acid may be used as preservative in place of the alcohol.

It’s More Than Just Communicating

You hear it all the time, right? Communication is key. It’s the most important part of any relationship and without it there’s bound to be trouble. I totally agree, but I think there’s something missing. You don’t just simply need to communicate, you need to communicate the right way.

I used to not communicate at all and that was a problem. If there was something I didn’t like I could brush it off or ignore it. If I thought my opinions and feelings were going to upset someone I would just rather keep them to myself. If I could simply avoid the situation altogether that was probably the best option for everyone. I wasn’t communicating and it caused lots of problems for me that I’ll have to go into in another post. I didn’t realize it at the time, but now it’s easy to see how my lack of communication was an easy short-term solution but unsustainable in the long term.

If you’re not communicating the way you should be to other people in your life (especially the ones you know and love the most) you need to fix it as soon as possible. Open up, speak your mind and when that feeling in your gut tells you that something isn’t right, do something about it. Don’t ignore it — it’s there for a reason. Making this change is worth all of the uncomfortable feelings you’re going to have in the process and then some. It’s not going to happen fast, I’ve been making changes for the past 3-4 years, but you need to start. Now.

Now that I’ve seen some positive changes in how I’m communicating to the different people in my life there’s something that I’ve found to be just as important (if not more important) than the act of communicating itself. The more important thing is *how* you’re communicating your thoughts and feelings.

Just because you’re communicating doesn’t mean you’re doing it the right way. There’s a balance of grace and truth when it comes to communicating and you don’t want to be on one side or the other. You want to have a good balance of both. Yes, you should tell the truth, but if you tell it without any grace you’re going to come off as too harsh or with a sense of not caring. Basically you’ll seem like more of an jerk than someone who actually cares about the other person. The truth is always needed, but taking some time to speak the truth in a way that’s loving and full of grace will go a long way.

Not giving enough truth can be just as bad. This is also known as sugar coating and while it makes the truth easier to communicate, it doesn’t have the intended effect on the person you’re talking to. I used to do this all the time and still find myself wanting to soften up the truth when having a discussion with my friends, family, wife and even strangers. Don’t take the easy way out and not tell the full truth, it’s only going to make things harder in the end.

One last thing, avoid sarcasm at all times when communicating something you feel strongly about. It never helps get your point across and only make the other person feel like they’re being attacked. Skip it and do your best to communicate with some grace and truth.

This will take time to get right and I’m still trying to figure out how I communicate to others in the ways I should. If you take some time to think and don’t just react when you’re in a conversation you’ll be able to get the balance of grace and truth you need. Take a second before you respond, think about how you’re going to communicate and go from there.

Any thoughts or questions, I would love to hear from you. Let me have it and here’s to having better communication!

before we go further bout this sopa...some of u still might ask what is sopa???

sopa is stand for STOP ONLINE PRIVACY ACT (SOPA)

their aim is to block all sharing website that involved with illegal sharing file such movie, music etc.

just like malaysia, previously SKMM blocked some of the sharing website...but this time US government completely shutdown their before this we had been told to changed the dns in order to surf the blocked website from SKMM...but now its useless coz the server it self had been shutdown by US government....

SOPA and PIPA are just distractions from the real deal. They created ACTA while we fight againts SOPA and PIPA.

• ACTA turns Internet companies (ISPs, service providers) into a private copyright police by forcing to take legal responsibility for what their users do online.

• ACTA brings broad and dangerous criminal sanctions in loosely defined way.

• ACTA bypasses democracy and opens the door to a parallel legislative process, which the European MPs should be particularly angry about.

this are the list of sharing website that is being affected by sopa:

MegaUpload - Closed.
FileServe - Closing does not sell premium.
FileJungle - Deleting files. Locked in the U.S.
UploadStation - Locked in the U.S.
FileSonic - The news is arbitrary (under FBI investigation).
VideoBB - Closed! would disappear soon.
Uploaded - Banned U.S. and the FBI went after the owners who are gone.
FilePost - Deleting all material (so will leave executables, pdfs, txts)
Videoz - closed and locked in the countries affiliated with the USA.
4shared - Deleting files with copyright and waits in line at the FBI.
MediaFire - Called to testify in the next 90 days and it will open doors pro FBI
Org torrent - could vanish with everything within 30 days "he is under criminal investigation"
Network Share mIRC - awaiting the decision of the case to continue or terminate Torrent everything.
Koshiki - operating 100% Japan will not join the SOPA / PIPA.
Shienko Box - 100% working china / korea will not join the SOPA / PIPA
ShareX BR - group UOL / BOL / iG say they will join the SOPA / PIPA

the lucky one had been arrested:

megaupload owner total asset loss = usd 30m

just a good news from mediafire!!!!

i love u mediafire!!!!

Election Recounts; Ohio State University Shooter Killed

Democrat Chicanery
If you've been listening to Rush Limbaugh, you know that the Democrats are half insane over their loss in the November 8 elections.  The current strategy is to give Trump an aura of illegitimacy, as if he somehow stole the election, possibly with the help of Russian hackers taking over voting machines in the battleground states.  Election officials in the states targeted for a recount (Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan) state that there is no evidence of any hacking or vote fraud that would justify a costly recount.  In fact, Wisconsin officials have denied Jill Stein's request for a manual recount of votes, and she is preparing to sue over that.  Why this obnoxious leftist (Stein) is so adamant about forcing a recount isn't clear.

Other Democrat chicanery is to pressure Trump to adopt the Democrat agenda, at least in part.  This is all in the (false) spirit of "coming together as a nation," "reaching across the aisle," and curing the ill feelings among Americans.  Let's hope Trump isn't fooled (I doubt that he will be).  The Dims try to make the most of every situation, even after their recent historical loss that has reduced their elected numbers significantly.  So their strategy right now is to mitigate their losses in any way possible.

Ohio State Shootings/Stabbings
Some would-be mass murderer has attacked students at Ohio State University today, ramming some with his car, and slashing others with a knife.  He was soon dispatched by a gun-wielding cop, and is now quite dead.  Fortunately, the assailant was the only fatality. Around 10 injured students have been taken to the hospital.

Why would this lunatic try to kill a lot of innocent students who had done nothing to him?  Good question.  My bet is that he was a Muslim trying to collect his 72 virgins.

Body: Feeling pretty janky. Left hip went backward, by quite a bit. Tested crawls for the first time in ages and they were a no-go for the hip, plus the left wrist (angered on Sunday) was also immediately crank. Deadlifts felt heavy, chins were hard, but I rowed an 88-lb KB like it was light - which felt pretty damn good. Some day I'm climbing a rope, yo! Flexed arm hangs were much harder than they were before my week off (for right elbow).

Since there is definitely going to be a mock TSC in just two months, I decided to put some more focus into that by way of swings; do them on the reg, should help snatches, right? So at home, feeling like I wanted something, ANYthing to do outside, I brought out my KB and did SA swings. Just 100 in sets of 20, keeping it easy. Besides, I had a game of fetch to play. I also logged some dead-hang pulls to round my day up to 50, something I haven't wanted to do since December.

Brain: Good work day, although nervous about the workload coming my way, in the form of several projects that will be due before tax season ends so I'm not sure how I'll squeeze them in. Had much fun at NSS, including some great coworker chats.

Coming home feeling energized was a fresh feeling, something missing for many months now. Logging extra pulls, looking for an outside activity, updating my volume spreadsheet, all of my desire to do any of that has been missing. I actually thought about it quite a bit, and realized that I'm feeling the way I want to feel again. This is the me I want to be. I sure do hope I can keep it this way, because the miserable me was no fun to be.

Body: Fair; cat keeps waking me up but I'm doing okay.

Brain: A great NSS day, although partly because I completely forgot to do a normal Friday task. Met hubs for lunch for the first time in unknown years. A silent house ahead of me for the entire weekend, as he went to Cedar Lake: bliss.

Correction (date of Tolkien's Andrew Lang lecture)

A few posts back, I mentioned the first essay in Hart & Khovacs' TREE OF TALES: TOLKIEN, LITERATURE, AND THEOLOGY --i.e., Rachel Hart's "Tolkien, St. Andrews, and Dragons"-- in the course of which I made reference to

"Tolkien's 1947 St. Andrews lecture which became 'On Fairy-Stories'"

However, the next day in the Comments David said

"Oh, I do hope they didn't say Tolkien gave the lecture in 1947."

In fact, no, she doesn't. That mistake was entirely my own, absent-mindedly typing in the date of the facsimile letter she reproduces, which Tolkien sent to Professor T. Malcolm Knox with a presentation copy of ESSAYS PRESENTED TO CHARLES WILLIAMS on 17 December 1947. Hart gives behind-the-scenes background on the Andrew Lang lecture series, including the date Tolkien delivered his own lecture (Wednesday, 8th March, 1939), the information that JRRT was one of three potential speakers that year (the first two of whom turned St Andrews down*), how much Tolkien's honorarium was (thirty pounds), and the date upon which he was issued the invitation. Since the latter date does not appear in the Scull-Hammond chronology, which merely notes "There seems to be no record of when the invitation to lecture was sent to Tolkien" (Scull-Hammond, THE J.R.R.TOLKIEN COMPANION & GUIDE, Vol. II: READER'S GUIDE, pages 686-687), here's the date for those (like me) who'll pencil it into their copy: 8th October 1938.
It shd go on page 222 of Vol. I: CHRONOLOGY --or, rather, the entry that currently appears on page 211 shd be moved to page 222 instead under this specific date.

*These were Sir Gilbert Murray, who would eventually deliver the next lecture in 1947, the series having fallen into abeyance during the war years, and Lord Hugh Macmillan, who delivered the 1948 lecture.

Cookies For Breakfast

Beware! Advertisers are coming for your soul. Now that you're here it may be too late!

How'd you like my boogieman impression?

OK, calm down. Let me explain:

If you've never noticed (I never do), there are AdSense ads on my blog. When I created the blog, I thought it would be fun to see what Google thought belonged as advertising on my site. There was also the prospect of a paycheck from ad revenue in the event my scribblings became renown. Well, no such luck. I'm yet to earn a dime from the ads.

While they don't take up much space, I've toyed with the idea of pulling the ads and closing my AdSense account. The thought came and went, but I really didn't pay it any mind. That is until yesterday. Yesterday I recieved this email from my partners on the AdSense Team:

We're writing to let you know about the upcoming launch of interest-based advertising, which will require you to review and make any necessary changes to your site's privacy policies. You'll also see some new options on your Account Settings page.

Interest-based advertising will allow advertisers to show ads based on a user's previous interactions with them, such as visits to advertiser website and also to reach users based on their interests (e.g. "sports enthusiast"). To develop interest categories, we will recognize the types of web pages users visit throughout the Google content network. As an example, if they visit a number of sports pages, we will add them to the "sports enthusiast" interest category. To learn more about your associated account settings, please visit the AdSense Help Center at

As a result of this announcement, your privacy policy will now need to reflect the use of interest-based advertising. Please review the information at to ensure that your site's privacy policies are up-to-date, and make any necessary changes by April 8, 2009. Because publisher sites and laws vary across countries, we're unfortunately unable to suggest specific privacy policy language.

For more information about interest-based advertising, you can also visit the Inside AdSense Blog at

We appreciate your participation and look forward to this upcoming enhancement.
The Google AdSense Team
First, I have to stop myself from pointing out the hilarious irony of "interest-based" advertising on THIS site. But it sounds pretty big, doesn't it?

Second, I should note that that little email has created quite a stir on the Inter-tubes. But I digress.

So what does this mean for you, my good reader? It means that the End Times are approaching. It means that Google, through me, is watching your every move. It means that with the one-two punch of Analytics and AdSense, Google will set the Mother of All Cookies in your browser. A monstrous cookie; one with the half-life of a Twinkee; one that follows you everywhere you surf; one that feeds Google's bottomless appetite for the almighty dollar and increased share-holder value. I, for my shame, have wrought this upon your soul and I am sorry. The least you can do now is buy from my line of whey-cewl cycling apparel.

A few tips: if internet-based tracking frightens you, you might want to find a hole or a cave to live in. But if you prefer to keep your suburban lifestyle, you might consider ditching Internet Exploder for Firefox with the AdBlock and NoScript add-ons. You might consider ditching Internet Exploder anyway. Because if, like me, you've realized the futility of maintaining any real privacy on the brave, new, ad-supported, corporate-controlled Interwebs, you might want to consider Firefox with the AdBlock and NoScript add-ons, just to keep a handle on the amount of information you expose.

Whew! I've done my part to keep the Intrabytes safe for democracy by raising a panic about your cyber-existence. I even went the extra mile and recommended a few simple work-arounds. For now I'm going to keep the ads and the reader counters. After all, the ads might make me some money one day, and the counters make really phat graphs. Won't you please buy my jerseys?

Glad to see others are noticing the vile smell coming from under that pretty mask... I've removed all AdSense from sites, and posted the link to get the Almighty Opt-Out Cookie of Invisibility:

AdSense Privacy? - Need a New Ad Provider

Anyone else find it ironic that you have to get one cookie to avoid getting another?

NOTE: If you have your browser set to automatically clear cookies, or do this manually (you should) - set your HOME PAGE to the Google opt out link. You will need to opt out before every browsing session!

Sam Sylar said...

I'll agree that Google is becoming scary. Unfortunately, most folks don't understand browser cookies enough to care. Session tracking is necessary for maintain application state, especially in secure transactions, and cookies are a necessary evil - for now.

Pulling the ads is an empty gesture for a small blog. I'll probably pull them just because they don't do anything for the site, but not in protest.

I hate to say it, but the way Google goes, so goes the Web. There are ways around this, but they are beyond the capability of the average user.

This type of tracking is the way of things now, as companies demand more targeted advertising for the dollar. Better to manage your exposure than to make your surfing difficult.

We Are Deep In the Heart of Texas

Nomadic seasons of farming adventures with nature thrown in to include; a pinch of family, snippets of friends, counting our blessings, paying IT forward, home school, and the spicy things I decide to rant about.

‘Eggshausted’ Thursday

I am out of sorts today. Last night while my daughter and I bonded over watching the last season of Nip/Tuck (our dirty little secret) seems we were visited by the rodent fairy. Okay, I am leery of mice and their zipping metabolism about my house at night. Ever since, we have had the house leveled and re-leveled as it settled; mice have found passage ways into our humble abode. We have been stuffing steel wool in places; I did not know opened our foundation, dry wall, and plumbing to the great “Mousekapade” of 2010 because those buggers zoom like speed skating Olympians on ice.

No sooner than, Lisa headed off to bed; she let out a feminine peal of terror, came running back to the couch and said “Mickey is under the dresser!” LOL

Mickey took up residence in her room. I was not about to wake up hubby since, he gets up at 3:30 to make it to CCAD on time.  We had to hold off Mouse Hunting him down. Though he has a sizeable bounty on his head now -- death or eviction.  I will not be able to sleep well. Then no less than 15 minutes later, Saenz told me when I went to turn out his lights Mickey’s friends were dashing about his room – three of them. (WHICH I seriously doubt 3 Blind Mice are playing in his room, nonetheless Saenz requested the lights stay on for the night.

I woke up after a horrible time trying to sleep (mental images abound in my mind) thinking Mickey and his friends were going to play Knick Knack Patty Whack on my forehead during the night. Thus, I forgot to make coffee for my husband so the apology post earlier. As, I yawn and drink buckets of coffee just to get my chores done; I will be watching for San Patricio Electric to install the electric meter for the cabin since the company was a complete NO SHOW yesterday.

Will Keep Ya’ll Posted,

I am off to figure out where those little furry feet of flurry are finding their way into the house.

Sharon said...

Mice are so cute - in other people's homes. Can you get some live traps and let them off down the rode? I use a spoon sized shredded wheat biscuit in the trap, works like a charm and not as messy as peanut butter. I always wash the trap after each catch - they pee and maybe it's a warning signal?

Lots of luck there!

polly's path said...

Get yourself a cat, gal!!!
Our two cats don't let anything that moves come close to the house, let alone in it.

emajen333 said...

I second Sharon's idea! Trap 'em and free 'em, so they can do their Mickey on Ice shows elsewhere!

Texan said...

Well I am not really a cat person but hey if a cat works then ya get a cat LOL.. I may not be a cat person but I am TOTALLY not a mouse person either LOL...Hope you figure out where they are getting in!

Talitha D'Andrea said...

LOL! I love the comic! We had mice last year in our garage. Somehow my husband managed to get rid of them but won't tell me how. I'm sure I probably don't want to know. I agree with Polly's path- time to get a cat! Good luck with your day *passes over another bucket of coffee* Hope all goes well! :)

Nekkid Chicken said...

Thanks Sharon, We had our initial mouse hunt. No Ma'am, we don't catch and release.

Polly, Saenz is allergic to cats. We found out in January. We gave away our beloved Topsy and Turvy so Saenz could basically breathe.

JEN, The mice are on this chicken's Wanted: DEAD posters. LOL

Hey Texan, We found three holes and plugged them with steel wool. I wish we could have cats. Really I do.

TALI, Takes bucket of coffee and passes iced Coke Zero back.

SAFCEI congratulates fellow anti-nuke campaigners – the International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) – for securing the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize

The Southern African Faith Communities’ Environment Institute (SAFCEI) congratulates the Nobel Peace Prize Committee for awarding the 2017 prize to the International campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN).

SAFCEI calls on the leaders of the World to heed the call of ICAN and implement the abolition of nuclear weapons. There should be no nuclear weapons on this small planet, our only home, particularly with the many possibilities of unstable political leadership.

There is a vast arsenal of nuclear weapons – sufficient to destroy all life on this planet. Nuclear is an enormously powerful force that can be extremely harmful to nature – to all of life.

For our well-being as humans we must live in harmony with this planet and the natural laws of the planet. From our many faith perspectives we are called on to establish justice and seek righteousness, not to rely on the strength of our weapons of war.

Psalm 33, verse 5: The Lord loves righteousness and justice;

the Earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

Versus 16 & 17:  A King is not saved by his great army;

a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.

The war horse is a vain hope for victory,

and by its great might it cannot save.

“As a matter of urgency we call on all nations to decommission all nuclear weapons,” SAFCEI.

A number of faith leaders have been vocal about their opposition to nuclear, these include:

“Nuclear abolition is the democratic wish of the world’s people, and has been our goal almost since the dawn of the atomic age. Together, we have the power to decide whether the nuclear era ends in a bang or worldwide celebration.” – Archbishop Desmond Tutu (b. 1931). Access the full article It’s Time to Rid the World of Nuclear Weapons,  May 22, 2010.

“The existence of nuclear weapons in the world is a grave threat to peace and we need to abolish them.” – Archbishop Joseph Takami (b. 1946) of Nagasaki. Access the full article in the National Catholic Reporter.

Prom: A Night to Remember

On May 14, Valhalla had their forty-second annual prom.

This year’s theme was masquerade and it was a hit among the senior class. The theme allowed for the dance to be classy and simple. The decorations had a formal flair and nothing looked cheesy or cliche.

In the outside area there were different game tables such as blackjack, roulette, and poker, which were popular with the seniors.

The biggest hit of the night was the chocolate fountain. Every person at the dance visited the table full of desserts and assortments to dip inside of the fountain of chocolate majesty. “Chocolate fountain and strawberries became my best friend,” said senior Michelle Nguyen.

Indoors there was a room for dancing with a DJ, lights, and gogo boxes to dance on.

Kevin Smith and Maya Fielding were crowned prom king and queen after a week of nominations and voting by the senior class.

After the night was over, seniors realized how fun and played back prom actually is and how unnecessary it is to stress out about it. “I wish I [hadn’t] spen[t] so much time, money, stress, and effort,” said senior Katie Gatus.

Valhalla’s prom was so nice, even other school’s’ students wished they were there. “I wish I went to Valhalla and could participate,” said Steele Canyon senior Halee Newman after seeing posts from Valhalla’s prom on various social media platforms.

Overall the night was extremely successful and extremely enjoyable. Great job to the senior class officers, admin, finance, and senior class advisor for planning a nice night for the class of 2016.

Headline, February02, 2014

In 2012 fully 500,000 heads were bent over desks for the exams in 65 countries or cities:

The results, published on Dec 3rd, doled out a large helping of humble pie to Europe's former champion. Finland has fallen by 22 points on its 2009 result, with smaller falls  -12 points and 9 in reading and science-

''The golden days are over.'' lamented the Finnbay news website.

When the first programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) tests to focus on  maths   results were published a decade ago. Finland's blue-cross flag fluttered near the top of the rankings.

Its pupil excelled at numeracy, and topped the table in science and reading. Education reformers found the prospect of non-selective, high-achieving and low stress education bewitching.

None of this should have come as a surprise. Finland's maths performance has been tailing since 2006. But it is worsening faster than in other countries with falling scores such as Canada and Denmark.

The Asian  high-fliers   '''!!! Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore!!!''' have consolidated their position  at the top. Much soul-searching is under way in Helsinki.

Leena Krokfors, an academic there, blames declining motivation and a failure of maths teachers and the curriculum to inspire enthusiasm.

Others are beginning to wonder whether the egalitarian nature of Finnish education might be an underlying problem.

Juha Yia-Jaaski,  who runs a technology project to stretch the academically able, worries that a focus on raising the achievement of the majority of pupils shortchanges the cleverest.

The country is   ''kidding itself'', Ms Jaaska says, if it thinks they can catch up at University.

As Finns argue about how to retain their pre-eminence, many other countries in the West still envy it   -as well as the progress of rapid improvers such as Estonia and Poland.

France and Germany, in contrast have flatlined. America's dire showing led Arne Duncan, the education secretary, to decry   ''a picture of educational stagnation'':

With Americans being   ''out-educated''  by the Chinese. Some hope for a motivating shock like that delivered in  1957  by the Soviet Sputnik launch.

Back at the host world, just read and share,  what the ACER report says about Pakistan's ''lifeline province'',   Sindh:

The learning indicators of students in Sindh are even low than their counterparts in Federally Administered Tribal Areas. which shows that its   27.9%   of students can read English sentences and  29.3%  and 37.4% children:

 Are unable to solve: Two-digit subtraction and division questions.

Besides appalling learning levels,  some 29.1%  6-16 years of age children in Sindh are also    out-of-school   including  6.6% dropped out showing a little improvement from last year's  32%  out of school children.

What would the world at large conclude from this survey? Maybe we all have discovered a very very very New Way to Play An Old Song.

The honour, and  the splendour of the Post continues:
With respectful dedication to  '''Apple's Jedi Master''' : Jonathan Ive. See Ya on !WOW! the World Students Society Computers-Internet-Wireless:

''' The World Students Conscience '''

Good Night & God Bless!

Here's a riddle for you:

When does this:

Equal this?

When your husband decides to swap out the old microwave for a new convection oven/microwave and invents this great contraption and says, "Honey, you won't have to lift a thing."
Uh huh.....
I helped get the old one out, but getting the new one in was another story.
I had to hit the tub with bath salts and hot, hot water. He had to call a friend to come and help. A friend with muscles and who is taller than I am. (Which doesn't take much since I am the short wimp of the world!)

But it is in and the new stainless steel looks all shiny and nice.

Finally, I Passed the Big 4-0 Mark!

No, I do not mean 40 years, but 40 days  ... Yup....just 39 working days left. I am sooooOOooo ready!

Traveling Purple Pants

A girl at school arrived in these cute purple pants. Next thing you knew, a boy arrived wearing identical pants. Other boys started to tease him about wearing girlie pants. He was so cool, he just responded with, "Of course they are....they are my sister's and I wore them as a joke!"
The following day, a different boy was wearing the pants. They continued to be passed from one boy to another. The amazing thing is that no matter how big or small the boy was, the pants fit!
Ah hah! An invitation to me for sure.

Different Strokes...

My mother-in-law is visiting and her travel makeup adds up to more than I own! (Okay, I have lots and lots of lipstick tubes because afterall, I do put it on once a day on work days!)
Anyway, I stood there looking at her makeup and thought about how different we all are. I have tried to learn how to wear makeup but it is just a lost art form on me. My mom only wears lipstick and I guess since she was my role model, I didn't learn anything about makeup growing up. I try from time to time but it seems so unnatural to me. My sister doesn't wear makeup either.
Hmmmm, think of the money we have saved over the years. Maybe I should take "my savings" and go buy something special.
And by the way, the Hemp hand lotion is mine.

Mother-Other's Visit

My mother-in-law is visiting for a week. She is so funny. She cracks little remarks that are subtle yet makes one laugh. She said she had never hung clothes on a rack before so Jack handed her the laundry basket and told her to "have at it"! She had a hard time trying to figure out why I do not use my clothes dryer.
(a) I save money by not using the dryer.
(b) I love, love, love the act of hanging clothes out to dry.
(c) Hanging clothes brings back memories from when I was a kid....good memories.
She is also keeping me company in the kitchen as I try to get 600 cookies baked. Yes, you read that correctly. I have 367 done so far and I needed to stop. I'll just work on them some more tomorrow and when I get home from work during the week. (More on that later).

 Here she is working a word puzzle. Jack's sis told her to do one a day, just like her vitamins!

Now, see, she has a smile on her face! I think she enjoyed the process!

IHF: I Hate Fridays. I know, I know... most folks say, "TGIF", but I'm not most folks.
Fridays to me mean nothing more than time for chores. I have to start organizing my time to get everything done in two days. Considering shopping takes us at a minimum of 8 hours, that takes most of one day. So I'll do a load of wash tonight and hang it in front of the fire.
As I walked through the house looking at what needed to be done, I caught a glimpse of this guy hanging out for his/her next meal. Ha! Eat well tonight, spider, because tomorrow you will be escorted outdoors and your web will be sucked into the darkness of my vacuum hose.
The best news is I only have 9 more Fridays in my working career. Hoooo! Hooooo! Then I can spread those chores out across the days of the weeks like blocks in a quilt! I am so ready......

Think Again

You may think that Lucille Ball died years ago. Think again, my friends; she didn't die, she merely came to live inside of me. Every time I mess up in the kitchen, I get flashes of episodes of Lucy in her kitchen. Remember the one where she cooked rice and it just kept swelling and swelling until the rice had a life of its own and took over her kitchen? Well, I've done that with beans, trying to make a "pretty" bean soup. I kept adding different colors of beans until it was artistic enough for me. Those beans soaked up all the water I had in my pan and got to the top of the pan in no time. I must have had four pans on my stove soaking beans in them. When my poor family asked what was for dinner for the next two months, I'd growl and answer, "Bean soup, don't ask again."

Well, Lucy is still with me whenever I get serious in my kitchen. I found this cute little package of what I thought was whole wheat flour in my cupboard. I dumped it into my flour container and mixed it in. Come Sunday, Jack wanted to make waffles but couldn't find our Buckwheat Waffle Mix. Uh huh. It was in my flour. To appease him, I made an apple pie. Well, it had a crust-like top and bottom and it had apples inside but it wouldn't win any awards at the county fair. The flour wouldn't hold together. I had to make a ball and press it into the pie pan. It just wouldn't roll out.

I baked it as if it would work anyway. I mean, how bad could a buckwheat apple waffle pie taste? And to our delight, it tasted just fine. (Thanks, Lucille!) The crust wouldn't hold together, I had to eat mine with a spoon. But it was still good. I'm going to try baking cookies and see what happens to them. I might end up with a lot of ice cream crumbled toppings, but Jack will eat them!

Remodel is Moving Along...

As of last night, we are back in our own bedroom and using our master bathroom again! I am still hauling things back upstairs. This will be a project because I don't even remember where I stashed everything! Then I get some things organized and Jack builds new shelving and I have to move things again. But it's all good. In fact, it is wonderful. The only things missing are towel bars.
I have such a HUGE pile going to the Good Will for others to enjoy! I figure from now on, I have to try very, very hard to live by this motto:
If I bring something into the house, two items have to leave the house.
Once I get things streamlined, I can revisit and revise my motto... maybe one thing in and one thing out...that would be nice. I guess we are never too old to start new habits!
So check this out:

 Jack used a wood called Austrailian Lace Wood. It is redder than I had expected, but he loves it. I'm just delighted that he can build beautiful things like this. The drawers extend completely and glide so smoothly.
He installed some lights under the vanity with a motion sensor so when you walk into the bathroom, the lights go on. They turn off automatically after one minute. This is so he can see where he is going when he gets up in the middle of the night to pee!
I am in love with the pocket door to the closet.
Once the closet is organized, I'll share a photo of that with y'all.
Yes, the guest room is available once again!

A Day Named Named Just For Me

April Fools' Day
Yup, that's my day alright.
I always get fooled and I always end up looking (and sometimes acting) like a fool.
Today was certainly no exception.
Yesterday, the kitchen cook ran out of coffee that she usually has ready for staff members. I went to the store and bought some more for her.
I carried my empty cup in this morning and flipped up the spout to pour a coup of java.
Cook Tami called me over to tell me something and much later, we walked back into the kitchen to find the coffee had continued to pour, and pour, and pour into my cup and out of my cup! All over the counter, down the front and into every HUGE drawer filled with utensils and then onto the floor.
We started laughing so hard, we could hardly clean the mess.
Luckily for me, I had bought the coffee and it wasn't "her" coffee I was wasting!
What a way to start April Fools' Day.
(Well, actually, it started with Jack telling me all about this dream he had about him and Angelina Jolie and how they were intimate. I said, "I'm happy for the two of you." Then he says, "April Fools".
Sure.....leave me with an image of my husband and Angelina to conjur up all day long. That bum!

The Cleric of the Kuchiki Household (Kuchiki-ke no karou; ; ; ) is the chief retainer of the Kuchiki Clan.[1]

He has the appearance of an old man with a heavily wrinkled face and round, earpiece-less glasses. He has swept back white hair and a thick white moustache.

The Clerk was present with Byakuya Kuchiki when he approached Rukia and offered to adopt her into the Kuchiki Clan.

As they left, he told Rukia that they would take their leave and that they were anxiously awaiting her answer.[2] At Byakuya's instruction, he later told Rukia that Byakuya took favour with her because of her resemblance to Hisana Kuchiki and that this was the reason that she was adopted into the Kuchiki Clan.[3]

Roland Sansone

Roland Sansone Boulevard Mall

Roland SansoneRoland Sansone recently enjoyed time at the Boulevard Mall, Las Vegas, participating in the hugely successful Chinese New Year event.

Below is a video from a post on Fox News that explains something that is quite intangible and something that helps make certain developers super successful. Part of growth in this industry is calculated risk and Roland is doing just that.

Roland Sansone has a keen eye for locations that need work and he knows if built out correctly, success is just behind that build. Roland can conceptualize how the new property will affect the lives of those who will be using it and how it will affect the community as a whole.

Bob Massi said of Roland Sansone,”Sometimes when everyone is running one way, you’ll find one person going the other direction.” That’s Roland Sansone. Check out the video.
