Palin for ‘Time Person of the Year’

Former Romney supporter K-Lo, makes the argument; Read the full article.

Some highlights of the editorial, below.

But Time shouldn’t diss the not insignificant portion of the country that voted for Republican John McCain. And, specifically, they shouldn’t ignore the people who were energized by the addition of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to his ticket. She offered something new on the right, something new from a woman and something new for Republicans. Mind you, Palin was far from the first pro-life conservative woman to appear in the Republican party — there are plenty of them in the House of Representatives. (With the defeat of Elizabeth Dole in North Carolina, though, there are no pro-life women in the Senate.)
Whatever you thought of her, it seemed everyone in the country had an opinion of Palin — at the very start, throughout, and after the Republicans’ failed national campaign. And like Obama, all you had to do was look at her to see that she offered something different on a national ticket. In neither case did I think that novelty alone was a sufficient qualification for executive office, but the sheer innovative force of each was blindingly obvious, and the first things you noticed.
Here at National Review’s post-election cruise, a group gathered for a weeklong post-mortem on the high seas has Palin on the brain. Palin’s not on ship, but neither her absence nor the McCain loss has dampened enthusiasm for her here.
Like the “change” from the Obama campaign slogan embraced by so many, Palin offered something different. For some it was an anti-Washington feel. Many consider her a refreshing citizen-politician in the old mold, one that Thomas Jefferson would be proud to meet. Does that make her just like Obama? I do wonder what the campaign would have been like had they both been at the helm: He wouldn’t have had a monopoly on change, and she would have had her own staff and freedom to follow her instincts, and perhaps better advice than she was given as she ran for vice president.

We’ll never know what could have been in a straight-on Obama vs. Palin contest. But what we do know is this: Palin, like Obama, energized people. And she did it in a heckuva lot less time than he had to do it, only coming onto the national scene and the GOP ticket Labor Day weekend. It’s still a free country. Media outlets still can do as they please (save for those who choose to hand over their editorial direction to one party or another). But Time would make a mistake if it ignored the Palin phenom this year just because the ticket didn’t win in the end.

Obama would be wise to agree.

K-Lo, I could not agree more.

Tbone said...

Palin for Time Person of the Year. Yes. I agree. I still believe that Sarah is a gamechanger for Republicans. The liberals are afraid of her.

Mountain Mama said...

K-Lo admitted that suggesting Palin for Per-Daughter of the Year is an exercise in futility: "Time" is too liberal to dare selecting anyone besides The One. Besides (yawn....), who cares what "Time" does? With-it libs read "Newsweek."

How 'bout "The National Review" create a "Change Agent of the Year Award" themselves? It's creative! It's cool! (It's chemistry!)

Anyway, K-Lo was right: Obama led a tightly organized campaign; Palin barely had a chance to show her talents----and she still wowed everyone, even her opponents.
I say "Palin for Change Agent," natch!

Now, let's please send Gov. Palin all the books we know she needs to review (read, study, alluvtheabove). ONLY up to $12,000 worth/year, of course....

redandblack said...

Proposed Sarah Palin career plan -

1. Work really hard as governor. Find common ground with Alaska Democrats, but maintain convictions. Get things done.

2. Maintain appropriate national voice, particularly on energy and fiscal conservatism, but also on all issues - including foreign policy.

3. Write an upbeat biographical and issues related book. This gives Sarah and her family well-earned financial security and maintains national exposure.

4. Run for reelection as governor in 2010 with a postive campaign; win overwhelmingly (see #1 above.)

5. Evaluate national landscape for 2012, but in all likelihood, do not seek national office.

Assuming Obama reelection in 2012 -
6. After two great terms as governor, run for Senate - against Begich probably - in 2014. This move shows guts, since Begich is a pretty good guy. Run a positive campaign.

7. In the Senate, immediately begin the fine-tuning of foreign policy viewpoint, which should have been honed over the preceeding years in speeches, the book, etc.

8. Run for Presdident in 2016 and win.

In the event of a Republican victory for President in 2012 -

6A. Same as 6. above.

7A. Join administration at an appropriate point, perhaps first as Energy Secretary, later as Ambassador to Russia or Iraq.

8A. Seek to succeed as President, presumably in 2020, at a still pretty young 56.

Key point - 2012 is one cycle too soon.

Tbone said...

Hi redandblack: Sarah has been working hard as Governor and finding common ground with Democrats. She will i believe now worry about governing Alaska. Sarah had to conduct those round of interviews and defend herself to be nationaly viable. If Palin wins reelection for Governor in 2010 then she could decide to run in 2012 depending on Obama's popularity. In 2012 Palin will have been Governor for 6 years. If she verses herself on national and international affairs she should be ready by than. this country elected Obama who was just a senator for 2 years. He spent 2 years running for President. The next 2 years Sarah should just worry about Alaska.
Hi mountain mama: I like your idea for Palin for Change Agent. I believe that Sarah can be a Republican Conservative Reformer when given the chance. Sarah is getting labeled by the MSM as just a social conservative. She has got change that.

Mountain Mama said...

Well, Obama is already behaving as though he's been inaugurated! Read this, from Mike Evans's "Report of the Jerusalem Prayer Team:"
Tragically, I have learned from a high-level diplomat in Jerusalem that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President George W. Bush will attempt to succeed at what President Bill Clinton failed during his last days in office: the division of Jerusalem.

The U.S. plan offered by Clinton would have given the Palestinians 97 percent of the West Bank (either 96 percent of the West Bank and 1 percent from Israel proper or 94 percent from the West Bank and 3 percent from Israel proper), and full control of the Gaza Strip, with a land-link between the two; Israel would have withdrawn from 63 settlements as a result. In exchange for the three percent annexation of the West Bank, Israel would increase the size of the Gaza territory by roughly a third. Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem would become the capital of the new state, and refugees would have the right of return to the Palestinian state, and would receive reparations from a $30 billion international fund collected to compensate them. The Palestinians would maintain control over their holy places....

Ever more revealing information surfaces daily regarding the advisors and possible Cabinet members with which President-elect Obama will surround himself. It becomes more obvious why the poor elderly Jewish people in Israel are concerned about the future of their nation.

The question in the minds of many elderly Jews in Israel is: Will Barack continue efforts to divide Jerusalem and turn Judea and Samaria over to the PLO?

The worst terrorist attack in American history happened after a U.S. president attempted to divide Jerusalem, and his successor took office.

Front Page Magazine’s John Perazzo’s research offers some interesting insight on what the future may hold in his article “Obama’s Road to Damascus”:

“History will record that Barack Obama’s first act of diplomacy as America’s president-elect took place two days after his election victory, when he dispatched his senior foreign-policy adviser, Robert Malley, to meet with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad—to outline for them the forthcoming administration’s Mideast policy vis-à-vis those nations. An aide to Malley reports, ‘The tenor of the messages was that the Obama administration would take into greater account Egyptian and Syrian interests’ than has President Bush. The Bush administration, it should be noted, has rightly recognized Syria to be not only a chief supporter of the al Qaeda insurgency in Iraq, but also the headquarters of the terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the longtime sponsor of Hamas—the terrorist army whose founding charter is irrevocably committed to the annihilation of Israel. Yet unlike President Bush, Obama and Malley have called for Israel to engage in peace negotiations with Syria.

“A Harvard-trained lawyer and Rhodes Scholar, Robert Malley is no newcomer to the Obama team. In 2007, Obama selected him as a foreign policy adviser to his campaign. At the time, Malley was (and still is today) the Middle East and North Africa Program Director for the International Crisis Group (ICG), which receives funding from the Open Society Institute of George Soros (who, incidentally, serves on the ICG Executive Committee)....

“Robert Malley was raised in France. His lineage is noteworthy.
His father, Simon Malley (1923-2006), was a key figure in the Egyptian Communist Party. A passionate hater of Israel, the elder Malley was a close friend and confidante of the late PLO terrorist Yasser Arafat; an inveterate critic of ‘Western imperialism’; a supporter of various revolutionary ‘liberation movements,’ particularly the Palestinian cause; a beneficiary of Soviet funding; and a supporter of the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. According to American Thinker news editor Ed Lasky, Simon Malley ‘participated in the wave of anti-imperialist and nationalist ideology that was sweeping the Third World [and] … wrote thousands of words in support of struggle against Western nations.’

“In a July 2001 op-ed which Malley penned for the New York Times, he alleged that Israeli—not Palestinian—inflexibility had caused the previous year’s Camp David peace talks (brokered by Bill Clinton) to fall apart. This was one of several controversial articles Malley has written—some he co-authored with Hussein Agha, a former adviser to Arafat—blaming Israel and exonerating Arafat (the most prolific Jew-killer since Adolph Hitler) for the failure of the peace process.

“Malley’s identification of Israel as the cause of the Camp David impasse has been widely embraced by Palestinian and Arab activists around the world, by Holocaust deniers like Norman Finkelstein, and by anti-Israel publications such as Counterpunch. It should be noted that Malley’s account of the Camp David negotiations is entirely inconsistent with the recollections of the key figures who participated in those talks—specifically, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, then-U.S. President Bill Clinton, and then-U.S. Ambassador Dennis Ross (Clinton’s Middle East envoy).

“Malley also has written numerous op-eds urging the U.S. to disengage from Israel to some degree, and recommending that America reach out to negotiate with its traditional Arab enemies such as Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah (a creature of Iran dedicated to the extermination of the Jews and death to America), and Muqtada al-Sadr (the Shiite terrorist leader in Iraq).

“In addition, Malley has advised nations around the world to establish relationships with, and to send financial aid to, the Hamas-led Palestinian government in Gaza. In Malley’s calculus, the electoral victory that swept Hamas into power in January 2006 was a manifestation of legitimate Palestinian ‘anger at years of humiliation and loss of self-respect because of Israeli settlement expansion, Arafat’s imprisonment, Israel’s incursions, [and] Western lecturing …’

“Moreover, Malley contends that it is both unreasonable and unrealistic for Israel or Western nations to demand that Syria sever its ties with Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or Iran. Rather, he suggests that if Israel were to return the Golan Heights (which it captured in the 1967 Six Day War, and again in the 1973 Yom Kippur War—two conflicts sparked by Arab aggression which sought so permanently wipe the Jewish state off the face of the earth) to Syrian control, Damascus would be inclined to pursue peace with Israel.

“Malley has criticized the U.S. for allegedly remaining “on the sidelines” and being a “no-show” in the overall effort to bring peace to the nations of the Middle East. Exhorting the Bush administration to change its policy of refusing to engage diplomatically with terrorists and their sponsoring states, Malley wrote in July 2006: “Today the U.S. does not talk to Iran, Syria, Hamas, the elected Palestinian government or Hezbollah…. The result has been a policy with all the appeal of a moral principle and all the effectiveness of a tired harangue.

“This inclination to negotiate with any and all enemies of the U.S. and Israel—an impulse which Malley has outlined clearly and consistently—has had a powerful influence on Barack Obama.

“It is notable that six months ago the Obama campaign and Malley hastily severed ties with one another after the Times of London reported that Malley had been meeting privately with Hamas leaders on a regular basis—something Obama had publicly pledged never to do. At the time, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt minimized the significance of this monumentally embarrassing revelation, saying: “Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.

“But indeed, within hours after Obama’s election victory, Malley was back as a key player in the president-elect’s team of advisors—on his way to Syria. Mr. Obama, meanwhile, received a most friendly communication from Hamas, congratulating him on his ‘historic victory.’”

I tell ya, it's horror after horror..... What a great "beginning of change!"

Jan said...

No wonder Biden said we'd be attacked quickly. Scary stuff.

Adam Brickley, aka "ElephantMan" said...

Good Idea...they'll probably give it to Obama, but I think she could definitely be one of the "finalists" who get big articles in that issue.

Damian G. said...

Well, traditionally, whoever wins the Presidency gets Person of the Year, but given that both Obama AND Sarah's candidacies were historic, perhaps they can both get it.

After all, Bill and Melinda Gates and Bono shared it in 2005, and Bill Clinton and Ken Starr shared it in 1998 - why not the first biracial President and the first Republican woman VP nominee in 2008?

manajordan said...

She will probably be a finalist for person of the year. I would imagine she would make Barbara Walters 10 most fascinating people also.
I think it is fun and interesting to see all the ideas and speculation about what Governor Palin will do next. Having learned about her this past year I think one thing is clear. Whatever she does will be a matter of prayer and thoughtfulness. Her political life is fascinating to examine. She has risen to every challenge, and learned from every defeat. Again and again she faced doubters and she still comes out on top. It will be the same here. She is in God's hands, actually in His arms. It is sure going to be awesome to watch her and maybe even take some part in grass roots efforts and such.

mountain mama and laurence,
on another thread you were discussing religion in the government of the good old USA.

May I please show you how times have changed? This is the address that FDR (the Great Liberal to whom Obama is being compared) gave to the nation on D-Day, June 6, 1944:

""My Fellow Americans:

Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.

And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:

Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.

They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.

They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest -- until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.

For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and goodwill among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.

Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.

And for us at home -- fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas, whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them -- help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.

Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.

Give us strength, too -- strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.

And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.

And, O Lord, give us faith. Give us faith in Thee; faith in our sons; faith in each other; faith in our united crusade. Let not the keeness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment -- let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.

With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace -- a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.

Thy will be done, Almighty God.

Franklin D. Roosevelt - June 6, 1944""

The simple question is whether this sounds more like the words of President Elect Obama or of Governor Sarah Palin?

Your comments on this thread are excellent. I agree that Sarah should be the Time Newmaker of the Year, but she will not be chosen.

knowitall said...

mountain mama,
this article from newsbusters confirms your news about Mr. Malley.

Damian said...

There ya go, Scott.

Mountain Mama said...

Finally had a chance to read that Newsbusters article. Well, no wonder my Jewish friends freaked out about this guy! Obama is scary-sneaky, isn't he?

Meanwhile, looks like some firm in London is offering Gov. Palin $7 million to write a memoir of her life and the campaign. That should be just a fantastic read!

And I still am watching McCain, to be sure he didn't purposely let Gov. Palin twist in the wind about those untrue accusations, just so HE could gain a position----even an important, though freelance one----in Obama's administration. I sure hope McCain's character wouldn't allow him to do such a horrible thing....

knowitall said...

mountain mama,
that news about Malley was a good pickup.
And to think, the tape the LA Times has never came out and yet the Jewish people still voted for Obama/Biden.

I think that Sen McCain learned survival in 5 years in prison camp. In the end, you do what ever you have to to survive.
That was the film, "seven beauties".
Would he sell out Sarah? You betcha.

PALINATOR!!!! said...

Hi all,
Regarding Israel, God does not need the US to defend Israel, the US needs to defend Israel in order to remain prosperous, it is just that simple, the greatest news is that God plus one on the earth is always a majority, and His will is always done, at this point, Israel may be the safest place to be for non-Jews and non-Christians which is probably why so many of them seek to "take" the promised land. JEHOVAH-SHALOM is also JEHOVAH-SABAOTH

M. Minnesota said...

I would be pleasantly suprised if World Magazine would name Gov. Palin as "Daniel of the Year".

(I saw the following on Hannity and Colmes I WOULD URGE EVERYONE to go see the website It is a Documentary filmed on Nov. 4th interviewing Obama supporters and finding out what they knew about both Presidential Tickets,Leaders in the Senate and House of Representatives. The Documentary clip spends a LOT OF TIME on the Junk People ate up about Gov. Palin. It is posted on You Tube under the same name. Please People, go see it!

Mountain Mama said...

Good granny, M Minnesota.... that video is such a sad commentary on our uninformed and biased (with the help of the biased MSM) electorate!
How on earth can Republicans hope to turn that around in 2 - 4 years, especially if Obambi gets rid of conservative talk radio?

Scott said...

"""""""""Meanwhile, looks like some firm in London is offering Gov. Palin $7 million to write a memoir of her life and the campaign. That should be just a fantastic read!"""""""

did you see the article on how there are already people nit picking about whether or not she should be allowed to keep any money from that deal? supposedly there is a law in alaska that forbids profiting from a "second job" if you're in state office. Whether or not that would be considered an extra job is up in the air. I don't know how far it would get or if anyone would contest her making that money.. but i wouldn't be surprised.

Mountain Mama said...

Hmm..... I suppose it would be legal for Gov. Palin to write the book, reap the publicity rewards, and donate all proceeds (so she herself didn't "profit") to various charities----or maybe also some PAC's?
The other 4 candidates (Obama, McCain, Biden, and Hillary) have written, and profited from, something like 14 or 17 books between them! (Fact: Obama wouldn't be known much if it hadn't been for his first bestseller....)
It only SEEMS as though Gov. Palin has been thwarted on nearly all sides. Thankfully, I believe the Lord is supportive of her, and has a plan for her future! (Just not sure in what arena.....)

Scott said...

God plus one is an army but what if "we" are the "one".

techno said...

I know lately that I have sounded like a right-wing whack job so to rein in those thoughts let me state 10 things that I think are true about Obama: 1) that he is a 'natural born' American citizen and thus eligible to be President; Obama was born in Hawaii-end of story; 2) that Obama is a Christian currently and not a Muslim-he spent 20 years in Wright's 'Christian church-you can't have it both ways; 3)that he is a not a terrorist or that he does not favors terrorism as a means of getting what you want; 4)he is qualified to be President-he is 35+ and if the voters feel he is qualified he is; 5)Obama's political acumen rivals that of Bill Clinton-as an underdog he beat Hillary Clinton and as the favorite he beat John McCain-2 political veterans; 6)Obama is smart enought to surround himself with high-IQ egghead types to make sure the government runs as efficiently as possible; 7)Obama loves his wife and children; 8)that he will use Joe Biden as a liaison and conduit between the WH and Congress to get his agenda passed; 9)Obama knows that the American people know that the MSM is still in the tank for him and despite this knowledge, the majority believe in acquiescing to his leadership, making him unstoppable, and he knows that; 10) Obama knows that he is NOT the Messiah or the anti-Christ. He still smokes, gets tired, and has to rely on advisors for guidance.

Mountain Mama said...

Me, too, Techno----I've sounded pretty upset about Obama, too.
Look---I do pray that he succeeds, and for the right, moral reasons. Our nation needs a terrifically skilled leader now, and if he IS The/That One to do the job, great!

(But I do worry that he can be sneaky and has just whacko associations. But those are what we can pray about, right?)

Jordan Roy-Byrne: Don’t Let the Perfect Be the Enemy of the Good

Recently, we have seen gold make a downward turn. Jordan Roy-Byrne predicted this turn, and put a hedge on his gold positions. He thinks we should be looking for a bounce soon. If October doesn’t turn to be a bad month it will be a good sign that we will start to move up again. If the market takes more time to digest these losses, it could be anywhere from a month to a few months before we start to move back up again.

Jordan is on the bullish side, and thinks this is just a correction. For the most part, once this technical damage passes he thinks this is a great buying opportunity. In the minors we are not quite at a 30% correction yet, and now is a better time to buy gold than it was a few weeks or months ago when people were worried about the correction.

Buying and holding is the way you will make a large amount of money- not trading in or out. He makes buy decisions by putting a 20% mental stop on his position. So if you are putting a 5% to work and use a 20% mental stop, then you can only lose 1% of your portfolio. He gets into investments that have a big upside potential and a low downside risk.

Gold is already oversold and if we go down further, it will be oversold that much more- so now is the time you really want to step in and buy. The likely worst case scenario is that it might go down a bit for a few months before the trend reverts back to bullish. When you take the hedge and start to see significant profits, you should take them right away because a lot of that can disappear in one day.

Talking Points from this Week’s Episode:

• Silver has been performing better than gold, but it may go down even more.
• Prior to January- for the past 5 years we’ve had 4 or 5 days down for each day up.
• The 40 month average for gold is at 1,236 and we are a good distance above that.
• Looking at GDX, it’s probably going to be down 30% which is normal.

Double Vision?

Hey Everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a little while, I have been so very busy with so many projects!! I am hoping to share some of that stuff with you, but we can discuss that on a later date! On to the news at hand!!

Today we have a challenge over at The Burtonesque Dolls! The other dolls and I have made projects using twin images! Everyone did things a little differently, and I am no exception! I decided to forget about color, forget about different mediums, and well, forget about a project! What I decided to do was to make a drawing that incorporated one of the heart digis from my Strange Skin digi collections! Check it!

I wanted to do something a little strange and just a touch...for lack of a better word.....fetish-ness....is that even a word?! Hahaha! Anyway, I really kinda like the way the girls turned out, and I am kind of thinking of making a set of digis based off of them.  What do you think?!  Here is a closer look at just the girls:

If you like the heart that I used, and you would like to use it yourself, you can go over to www.strangeskin.com and get one of your own! If you haven't been the the Dolls blog to check out all the other girls projects, visit http://theburtonesquedolls.blogspot.com/

I hope you guys enjoyed my take on the whole twin challenge, and I hope you come back again soon to see what kind of trouble I've gotten myself into! Have an awesome day everyone, and Happy Crafting! <3

Celebrating A Little Nightmare Before Halloween!

Hello All!! So hopefully you have been visiting me and the other Burtonesque Dolls to see the new releases from Simply Betty Stamps.  If you haven’t been, what have you been doing instead?! What’s more important than this!? Goodness!! hehe

Today I would like to help welcome to the stamping world Ellanore!!!

Now she doesn’t usually dress up like Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas, but this occasion was special! Along with the release of these stamps, we needed to do a challenge today.  The challenge was to take Ellanore and dress her up like one of Burtons leading ladies.  I chose Sally, cause well, Sally is great!!

I used this really great, super skinny ball point pen and drew in the stitches and patterns all over her.  I also used the pen to draw the Jack in the background.

I colored her in with colored pencils.  I never use colored pencils, but I think that they worked out pretty well for this project!!

Who’s your favorite Burton leading lady? Maybe next time you have a project you need to make, you can Burton-ize it too!

Make sure to check out http://theburtonesquedolls.blogspot.com/ to see all the other Dolls projects, and make sure you go and buy these stamps at Simply Betty Stamps on Friday!!

Hope you all have a wonderful day today and happy crafting!

Belladonna is here!

So, it’s day number two of the Simply Betty Stamps preview for the new Burton Weenies!! You met JackJack yesterday, so now it’s time for you to meet Belladonna! Give her a wave!

For my project I knew I needed to put feathers around her, because her hair reminds me so much of these cool feathers that I have.

I decided to paint her with gouache in shades of magenta and purple. (That’s the same magenta I usually dye my hair! teehee!) I then took a green tin box that has been waiting to be glammed up, and I attached the feathers and Belladonna.

I have been storing these feathers in a boring plastic bag, but thanks to Belladonna, I now have a cool tin box to keep ‘em in!!

I hope that you guys are in love with her, and will come back again tomorrow to see what other weenies we have in store!

Make sure you take a look at all the other Dolls projects at http://theburtonesquedolls.blogspot.com/

Have a great day guys and happy crafting!!

Welcome to the world, Burton Weenies!

Hi everyone! I am excited to tell you all about the new line coming out from Simply Betty Stamps called The Burton Weenie! Myself and the other Burtonesque Dolls will be putting up a new project every day this week to preview Betty’s newest characters. The first character we are introducing you to is JackJack! Say Hello!!

My first project with him is a simple little card that used a close up cropped version of the original image. I painted him in using gouache.

His hair has varying shades of brown and some streaks of purple in there, cause he’s a cool dude! His sweatshirt is painted in blues and purples, and his clippies are red with some Stickles on top.

The rest of the card has Stickles on random parts of the paper to make the bubble design stick out a little more. I wrote the sentiment out by hand, cut out a little red heart, and covered it in Stickles and Glossy Accents.

Who doesn’t love a pretty boy?! Hehehehe If you love JackJack, you will love all the other Burton Weenies too!! Wanna buy ‘em? Well you are in luck, because they will be available on www.simplybettystamps.com on Friday!!

Make sure you go check out http://theburtonesquedolls.blogspot.com/ to see all the projects the other lovely dolls made with JackJack, and definitely come back every day this week to see all the other weenies!

Thanks for checking this out, have an awesome day, and happy crafting!

Skull Appreciation Day Blog Hop!

Welcome scallywags! It’s hop day! Woo-Hoo!! If you are following the hop, you should have just visited Cyndi’s Blog (http://scrappychickcyndi.blogspot.com/) and have been seeing all the cool projects that everyone has been doing for Skull Appreciation Day! I am very excited to be not only participating in the hop, but I, along with Jorge (my bf and co-founder of Strange Skin) are sponsoring it too!! If you haven’t heard of us, our website is www.strangeskin.com!

We will be giving away two free digis to 3 fabulous crafters! How do you win these digis you ask? It’s simple! All you have to do is leave a comment here on my blog! That’s it! How easy was that?! The winners will be chosen at random and will be announced right back here on my blog! Make sure you check back to see if you have won! So two free Strange Skin digis of your choice for leaving one comment, what a great deal! hehehe

Alright, On to the Skull Appreciation Day business!! I decided that I wanted to do something totally different. I love working with all kinds of materials and for this project I chose to work with fabric, yarn, and thread! I also figured it would be great to drive myself completely crazy and make 3 projects instead of one, so here they are!!

First on the list is my 3D crocheted skull necklace! This tiny skull was made using crochet threads in cream, black, and red. I made the little skull first and I didn’t know what to do with him. After a while of wracking my brain I thought it would be a lot of fun to take this little guy and be able to wear him around! The red heart and black ring finish off the necklace and give it a little more pizzazz, don’t you think?! :0) I love throwing hearts and skulls together (who doesn’t?!) The whole necklace is hand made with thread and was a lot of fun to make! I’m thinking of selling them on my Etsy.com store, what do you guys think?

The second project I made was a crocheted oven mitt. I love to cook, and my kitchen could use a little more spooky flair, so that’s when I came up with the idea of making this! I crocheted it out of black yarn and made the skulls and hearts out of thread. It’s nice and soft, and I kind of want to just make another one and use them as giant mittens in the winter! hahaha

Last but not least, I made an apron to go with my faboo oven mitt. I used a sheer and white on white striped fabric to make it, added some satin bias tape and finished it off with another crocheted skull in the corner. Aprons are getting so popular lately that it seemed appropriate! I’m also thinking of selling a different version of this apron on my Etsy.com store. Again, your opinion is important to me, so let me know what’s on your mind!!

I love using skulls on pretty much anything, so I am so happy that I got to participate in this Hop! next on the list to visit is Prissy and her blog can be found here http://prissy-blingthis.blogspot.com/

Black Lives Matter Organizer Jasmine Richards Convicted of 'Attempted Lynching'
The charge stems from an August incident where Richards and other Pasadena, California, activists tried to remove a Black woman from police custody.

We couldn't make up that headline. Black Lives Matter Pasadena founder Jasmine Richards was found guilty of a felony on Wednesday (June 1). As Mic reports that Richards was charged under a California law that—until last summer when legislators amended it to omit the racially-charged word—defined lynching as "the taking by means of a riot of any person from the lawful custody of any peace officer."

The charges stem from an August 2015 incident when Richards led a march highlighting Pasadena police officers' 2012 killing of Kendrec McDade. When Richards and other activists saw police arresting a Black woman at a nearby restaurant, they surrounded her and tried to remove her from their custody. Activist and New York Daily News journalist Shaun King shared a video of that incident in his own article about Richards' charges.

This isn't the first time the law has been used to prosecute an activist. In January, Maile Hampton was charged under the same statute for attempting to free a fellow protestor from police custody. The Sacramento Bee reports that prosecutors dropped the charge in April.

"A law that was enacted for the purposes of defending Black people against hangings and torture is now being used against Black people who are fighting for the lives of Black people who are killed by the police," Richards' attorney, Nana Gyamfi, told Mic. Gyamfi also said that no Black people served on the jury that convicted Richards.

Many activists shared similar criticism and bewilderment after Wednesday's decision.

"California’s lynching law was put on the books in 1933, to prevent mobs from forcibly taking people from police custody for vigilante justice," reads a statement on Black Lives Matter's website. "The perverse nature of this case is stark both because of the law’s tragic name but more importantly because police, who have long exercised poor and deadly judgment in cases impacting Black communities, cannot be trusted to make lawful arrests or to guarantee arrestees will make it home alive. Given that, removing a Black person from police custody can be a life-saving action."

"Jasmine Richards, in effect, is the first political prisoner of the Black Lives Matter Movement," King wrote in his article. "Everything about her needless prosecution is about proving who is in control and who runs the system. It is about power and privilege. It is about shaming and stopping her work."

Richards will be sentenced on June 7 and could face up to four years in county jail.

This is true for Twitter as well as Facebook.

I think half the business of Fiverr is selling social media shortcuts.

I'd be curious to see trends in price fluctuations. Was it more expensive when few people knew this was going on? Can you get better "quality" people and bots for more money? (Not all in Egypt, etc.)

It was more expensive at the beginning, yes.

No one has specialized on quality yet, but that might be coming soon.

This actually sounds pretty reasonable. I went through their pricing pages. If that's true, they've been able to quantify something valuable--despite the puerile nature of the deal. I'd pay $75 just for the exposure of some of my fun pages (not for monetary gain).

Ten More Top Spotify Tips!

After Part I and Part II, here are ten more new Spotify tips to help you get to most out of the service!

1. Backing up Your Music

The first rule on Spotify is: you don’t really need to backup anything. All your playlists are stored as links to Spotify’s library in the cloud. It’s these playlist links that are important, rather than the actual cached and encrypted music files Spotify stores on your hard disk. But if you did want to make a backup of your playlist links, either:

  • Drag and drop each playlist to a desktop folder (creating a shortcut link to the playlist’s Spotify URL), or
  • Use Ctrl-A to select a bunch of songs, drag-and-drop to a Word doc (creating web links to the songs) then save the doc.

The key thing here is that every song/album/playlist on Spotify has a unique (and permanent) URL, so any bookmark or web address manager can double-up as a Spotify playlist and backup manager. My favorite for some time has been delicious.

Drag-and-drop playlists from Spotify into a desktop folder

2. Favorite Artists

Spotify doesn’t have a Favorites tab, so create a playlist called “Favorite Artists” then add one song from each artist or band you like or want to check out. You then have a sortable list of your favorites, with one-click access to the artist’s tracks and albums on Spotify (just click the artist’s name in the playlist).

A playlist of favorites, with one track per band

3. Spotify Radio USA

Spotify’s radio feature is currently disabled in the US. No big loss really, as it’s not that great in its current form. What is great though are the many community sites developed to make up for Spotify’s limited radio and recommendation engine. Sites like spotibot.com and spotiseek.com generate custom playlists for you based on an artist’s name. Taking it to the next level, truShuffle will generate suggestions for you on-the-fly, auto-filling a playlist with recommended songs while you listen.

An on-the-fly, auto-generated playlist from truShuffle

4. Watching Music Videos from Spotify

For now at least Spotify is just about the music. But once you have a playlist in Spotify, sites like Utubify can translate it into a YouTube playlist and let you “watch your playlist in motion.” See also From DJ to VJ: Spotify and YouTube for other similar services.

5. Listening to a Random Song

Can’t decide what to listen to? Try randomsong.se, a simple webapp that gives you a link to a random song on Spotify. Note that this isn’t entirely random, as it’s slightly weighted towards more popular songs. Also check out Soundofus.com and their “song of the day.”

6. Using Google’s Android Search Widget with Spotify

If you use Spotify Mobile on Android, your Spotify playlists are searchable items from the Google search widget. You can add a widget that has only Spotify (see pic below) for a quick and easy way to search your personal collection. Note this doesn’t search Spotify’s vast catalog, just tracks in your playlists. Clicking a search result opens Spotify and starts playing the song (although there seems to be a bug in playing local music this way).

Spotify Mobile widgets for Android

7. Advanced Search on Mobile

Advanced search syntax has been available on desktop Spotify from the beginning, but now you can use it on Spotify Mobile too. Search for things like year:2011, label:”Alfa Matrix” or genre:jazz. Note that the tag names are case-sensitive: year:1981 will work but Year:1981 won’t. See this page for more details.

8. Adding a Graphic Equalizer to Spotify

Since Spotify runs as an application on your desktop, 3rd-party developers can create some pretty clever add-ons to run alongside it. EQUALIFY is one such add-on, a free Windows app that integrates a fully-featured graphic equalizer into Spotify. With 10 bands and its own pre-amp, now you can boost that bass and tweak those audio filters to your heart’s content!

Equalify in action

9. Listen to Top-Rated New Albums

Spotimy is a Spotify music manager and new-music aggregator, enabling you to manage your tunes and find new music. The interface may be a bit basic, but there’s so many cool features in Spotimy it’s well worth signing up for. The top-rated area is a bit like Metacritic’s music review section, but with Spotify links. Each album page contains a whole heap of useful information and links, including a handy “Click flag to play” area so that you can be sure you have the right Spotify link for your country.

Spotimy's New Album page - one of the site's many MANY features!

10. Show Your Spotify Songs in Windows Live Messenger

If you use Windows Live Messenger, you can set it to display your currently playing track in Spotify as a personal message. In Messenger, just go to Options > Personal then tick “Show Song Information from Windows Media Player as a Personal Message.” This works not only for Windows Media Player, but also Spotify and iTunes too. And if Skype is your text messenger of choice, try Spotify2Skype instead.

Woodland theme bird wreath moss cobble designs

Woodland theme bird wreath moss designs: I was down with a surgery for xmas..,anyway just to get my thought away I made this idea I was planning in my head for a long time.It's on the woodland theme I have been playing around with for the next year designs. The woodland theme bird wreath has a bird's nest on it on a handmade wreath.I found the faux moss and found they go well with the theme and used them to create a very unique wreath.I was thinking it can adorn right next to that mirror in your foyer (sure to get many compliments on it) or reside next to you bedside wall or even the bathroom.I find it reflects peace,love maybe the ideal wreath to adorn a newly weds house! I tied a bow in the end to it,you can take if off if needed and add another to match the rooms decor.

Just when I have bouquet to photograph New England gives me the gloomiest day to photograph it! I guess I need to figure out a way to get some great lights in my house :-)

Decorative Cigar Box #6

One of these days, I really will get back to doing some cards :)

BUT...for are stuck with altered cigar least until after I teach the class in a couple of weeks...been practicing ya know?!

Below is another box using the Recollections Union Square Plaza stack.  I still need to bling the top out a little, but not sure what I want to do.  It's a wedding gift for a friend in Alabama (Roll Tide! - or something like that - I think she said she's doing her bedroom in the red and black color combination), so I am thinking about adding a blinged out initial of her new last name in the upper left corner area.  I also need to remember to sign the bottom.

I did decide to bling out the top with her new initial and some blingy parts leftover from another blingie thingie I used on another box :)

And yes....I've already started another friends want to do an!

  1. Very nice, as usual! I think the new initial would be a nice touch. Rose

  2. Amazing beautiful! My favorite one so far. Stunning!

  3. You are the Queen of altered cigar boxes Angie! This one is as gorgeous as all of the rest! I think the initial would be perfect. Can't wait until you teach us on the 14th.

  4. All of your boxes are so beautiful! I'm with Paula- I think the initial would be perfect for the top!! Can't wait till the 14th!!!

  5. I second or third the idea of the inital. This box is beautiful

  6. How did you attach the legs to the box?

Tribute to the Agatha Christie Blog Tourers

The purpose of this post is to thank those who took part in contributing to the Agatha Christie week blog tour. An event like that is only as good as the people who contribute and I was very pleased with such generous support.

I've created a "wall wisher" (using a lovely new tool I discovered last week) where you can not only see all the sites but contribute your messages - no log in required. Click on "post a sticky" to be taken to the wall itself (this makes it much easier to see all entries on the wall) or here is the link. (If you use IE6, there'll be a problem - sorry)

All the participants
13 September: Overkill
14 September: Reactions to Reading
15 September: Elizabeth at Miss Lemon Mysteries
16 September: Just A (Reading) Fool
17 September: Margot at Joyfully Retired
18 September: Crime Scraps
19 September: A library is a hospital for the mind...
19 September: Random Jottings of a Book and Opera Lover
20 September: Confessions of a Mystery Novelist
21 September: BooksPlease
22 September: Agatha Christie Quiz - here on MiP
23 September: ACRC Carnival #9

Margot Kinberg said...

What a lovely idea, Kerrie! Thank you : ). I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the tour.

Nigel James said...

There are so many Agatha Christie fan clubs online. Reminds me of the many Cigars online clubs that have sprung up. These are forums for people to discuss fine cigars. Given the fact that there are so many fine cigars, there is really a lot to discuss about.

Uriah Robinson said...

Thanks Kerrie for hosting this event and inspiring me to visit the Agatha sites.
Hopefully I will have a couple of more posts about my travels over the next few weeks.

Kerrie said...

Margot & Norman - the tour was great fun! Did you try leaving a sticky note on the wall?

Margot Kinberg said...

Hi, Kerrie,
I did click on a couple of places on the wall, but, although I got to the different blogs (thanks for that!), I couldn't leave a sticky. Still, this is a great idea!

Review: The Inventor (Fantasies of New Europa #1) by Morgan Karpiel

Synopsis (Goodreads):
For the Countess of Caithmore, a life of wealth has led to misery. Abandoned by her husband and widely accused of being nothing more than a porcelain doll without passion or intelligence, she has ventured into dangerous territory and commissioned the help of the most famous inventor in New Europa for a scandalous project.
In the depths of his laboratory, she will submit herself to a custom-built machine that will determine the extent of her coldness once and for all. The answer she craves carries a hidden risk, however, and the man whose invention has proven her ability to feel passion may not accept the role of lover-by-proxy for long.
My Thoughts: Well, hello, sexy steampunk!  I was intrigued enough by the synopsis on one of the other books in this series to pick up book 1 and give it a try.  Boy, am I glad I did.  Because sexy, steam powered pleasure machines are AWESOME!

I loved what Morgan Karpiel has created here.  The world is as steampunky as one would wish.  The characters were wonderful - sad, resigned, willing to try to break free of the confines of society in Leda's case and one hell of a sexy inventor in Ian.  I'm not ashamed to admit that I find strong, brilliant men who only want to dabble with their machines sexy.  I'm sure this has somehow led to my fascination with mad scientists.  But only if said mad scientist has good hair.  None of that crazy, just-stuck-my-finger-in-a-light-socket look for me, please.

Fabulously sexy with a hint of intrigue, I'll be picking up the others in the series very, very soon.

The Ice Series Book Blitz @maryms1980

Title: The Ice Series
Author: Mary Smith
Genre: Sports Romance (Hockey)
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

This Boxed Set Includes.

Melting Away The Ice: Sara Smith, a hard working lawyer, thought she found her true love. Unfortunately, that was a huge mistake. Now she goes home at night and avoids people. Until one day her best friend forces her to go to a hockey game. Lucas Sharp, the Captain of the Chicago Eagles, has focused on one thing, winning the Cup. It was not until a meet and greet after the game that he saw Sara. After finally going on a few dates Lucas knows that she is hiding something, but Sara won't talk about it. Will Lucas be able to melt away the ice on her heart and still win the Cup? Or will Sara keep her true-self frozen away from finding happiness.

Breaking the Ice: Rachel Silver is independent and likes it that way. It hardly bothers her that she hasn’t even had a relationship in over a year. Her goals are firmly set on her career. That was until her love of hockey, and her best friend, crossed paths with Max Crawford. Even though Max Crawford has had a wild side, there was something about Rachel when he saw her for the first time. Maybe it was her smart mouth, or her sexy lips? Nonetheless, he wanted her. Finally, Max is able to start a relationship with her, but will her stubborn attitude be the downfall of their relationship? Or could Max break the ice that hold her firm?

Shattering the Ice: Charity Drake has only known heartache, until she had her son, Ethan. Now, everything revolves around him, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Marc Kane, the goalie for the Chicago Eagles, has dated a few girls, but wants that one true love, and he thinks he found it. The problem is, Charity isn’t sure she’s ready. Through ups and downs, and Ethan’s love, Marc and Charity try to figure out if their shattered past can be put together?

Thawing the Ice: All the characters that you loved in The Ice Series are back for a final look into their lives. Their love of hockey, family, and friends have tied them all together and now it's all changing. This is the final chapter of the Chicago Eagles Players and the ones that they love.

Best Selling Author, Mary Smith, has been coming up with stories her whole life. She has written A HOCKEY TUTOR, THE ICE SERIES, as well as co-authored with Lindsay Paige THE PENALTY KILL TRILOGY and OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN SERIES. When not busy writing or rooting for the Chicago Blackhawks you can find her with her nose stuck in her Kindle.

Hi Friends,
I wanted to tell you one thing that now i can feel the arrival of   upcoming so many festivals in the air. I really love this feeling and phase. Evenings are bit cozy now. Markets are flooded with lighting, gifts, dhanush vaan(arrow and bow), talwaar (sword), masks of Rama, ravana and hanumaan ji and lots of other things. Next three months are for total enjoyment. Dassehra, Diwali, Karwa chaouth and so many wedding functions are on the row. I am so excited. Now everyday i will feel like doing shopping for endless things. list is too long to mention.
I like bright colors in everything weather it is a dish or clothes or home linen or accessories, means anything.  It is one of the reason for my love towards festival seasons which brings lots of color of lights, sweets, cloths, gifts and many more things. I am in love with the bright color dishes served in colorful or crystal clear serving bowls, i simply love them. I know here pictures of rice are disappointing  but actually they were looking fabulous while i served them with Soya chaap paneer masala(recipe coming soon). So friends here i am posting Carrot rice with blends well with the any side dish from Raita to any daal, Sabzi. Carrot gives a crunchy munchy taste in between soft texture of rice. I feel there is no need to add any spice as carrot will give you amazing flavor. I like it that way only. So use follow your imagination and taste. Here is the recipe.

Boiled Rice - 1 & 1/2 cup
Caroot - 1 cup (chopped in small cubes)
Oil- 1 tbsp

Gather your ingredients

Take 1 tbsp oil in a pan

Sending this to event, Bon Vivant #8 - Rice Recipes

Modi meets BJP general secretaries, keeps party on radar

New Delhi: Prime minister Narendra Modi busy dealing with the demands of government in his new office has not forgotten the fact that it was the party that is the engine behind the grand electoral victory which ensured that the BJP got a simple a majority of its own in the Lok Sabha, crossing the half-way mark of 274 and reaching 282, and he wants to ensure that the BJP is in the loop as it were.

Modi feels that the party cannot be ignored and that he would have to pay enough attention to the organisation. It is usually the case that when a party is in power, the focus of the leadership, especially of the prime minister, is on government. The party feels left behind.

As a matter of fact, after the historic victory on May 16, the BJP office is literally wearing a deserted look, with Gujarat Bhavan where Modi was staying, party president Rajnath Singh’s house and the RSS headquarters in Jhandewalan became the hub of activity. After the formation of cabinet, almost all of the senior party leaders have been inducted into the government.

He had a meeting with the BJP general secretaries, excluding those like Anant Kumar, Dharmender Pradhan and Thawarchand Gehlot who had been inducted into the council of ministers, on Friday forenoon which lasted for nearly two hours. Party president Rajnath Singh was present at the meeting. He will visit the party headquarters at 11 Ashok Road on Sunday. The security personnel were doing the rigorous check with the help of sniffer dogs of the premises of the party headquarters.

The meeting has been described as “group discussion” where “Modiji” did not speak and the others were not mere listeners. Modi is apparently keen on maintaining close relations between party and government. The perception is that during the Vajpayee regime from 1998 to 2004, party workers felt that they were ignored. Modi is keen that this should not happen this time round.

The prime minister is keenly aware that the party should be part of the new set up and that ways have to be found to make the party worker a stakeholder in the power system. Suggestions were made as to how this could be done, one of them being that every week a minister should sit in the party office, meet the workers and listen to their grievances.

Modi is not taking the electoral victory for granted and he knows that he has to look to the next election and the party must be battle-worthy at all times. One of the issues discussed, though informally, was that of the forthcoming assembly elections in states like Maharashtra and Haryana.

The party has to soon find a president as Rajnath Singh is now in government as home minister, and it is quite probable that Modi would want to keep a firm grip on the party organisation.

Maine Holiday

Over Memorial Day Weekend I was on the coast of Maine for the holiday weekend. Even the cold temps and torrential rains on Saturday didn't dampen our fun.

We rented a killer house in Yarmouth through AIRBNB. If you don't know about this sight then you need to sign up - stat!

A few photos of the house

We ate at a fab spot in Portland that seemed to be a hot spot with the locals - BAR LOLA.

On our way south to Boston we made a stop at one of my "Maine musts" SNUG HARBOR FARM,

Photos: New York Van Line, Airbnb, Maine Today, Woodbury and Morse, Portland Monthly and Snug Harbor Farm

  1. Fun! The farm and that greenhouse would have kept me busy for hours..so pretty! Hope you had fun and hope all is well!

  2. The apparent acres of topiaries in mossed terracotta are extraordinary, but that arrangement of duckweed and water hyacinths is so unusual and exotic, love it all.

  3. Looks like a great weekend!! Gorgeous place.

  4. I love the topiaries and the gardens! This looks like a great getaway!

Elica Hood Fans

One of my pet peeves is ugly hood fans. They are such a large element in a kitchen and if not handled properly can distract from the design of the kitchen, especially more so in contemporary kitchen design, as I am tending to not use overhead cabinets. The cooktop and back wall then becomes the focal point. So when I saw these innovative new designs from Elica I was pleasantly surprised. They are designed to look like a beautiful pendant handing over the cooktop and include ventilation, filters, lighting and controls.  They are now distributed in Canada and the USA.The fan in the middle row right is stainless-steel Platinum and packs advanced technology into a sleek lampshade diameter that works with any 24" - 36" cooktop and costs $1,600.00.

  1. These fans are fantastic. This is a coincidence I just saw them in an Italian Architectural Digest early this morning. Love this find !

  2. Thanks for your comments on my blog Patricia :)

    My problem with upper kitchen cabinets has been that they never go to the ceiling!

    A friend of the family renovated her kitchen when I was growing up, and she didn't use uppers...I was about ten, but thought it was so cool!

    I like the way the British design hood fans and readiators.

  3. Cara Patricia,

    I find most hoods overdimensioned. Take up too much space, you knock your head and, as you rightly put it, they distract from the overall kitchen design. The Italians are unparallell, secondo me, both design and technology. Bacione, Ingrid

  4. Thank you! These are innovative hood concepts. The problem with hoods, besides being bulky, some call for a clearance of 32" (+ or -), at 21" deep, which ends up being an awkward height for tall customers! Right in the nose height.

    Hoods placed at taller clearances then become a problem for shorter people who cannot reach the vent switch and lights. Remote controls for a hood at a higher clearance is ideal.

  5. Even worse are the faux hood fans with the greasy gross filters and no real exhaust! These ones though are drop dead gorgeous!

  6. Patricia,
    You are always on top of things.
    I have seen the Greta lamp (like a table lamp with shade) on a magazine but I was not aware they were available here.
    Fantastic, I am ready to buy one, the only doubt is: since I believe they don't really work well (CFM) for a semi-professional stove would they work well enough with a regular stove cooking "fish" or "fries" or "veal milanese"?
    If you have any feed-back I would love to know more.
    Great post again!

  7. Some fantastic contemporary designs!!! Great post

  8. is this for real?! it's about time someone reinvented the hood! thanks for the post! i will file this in my memory bank for our next home renovation (already thinking of the next whilst this one is ongoing...) sigh!

  9. Just love these hoods, it's such a smart idea!!

  10. I have an eye for detail,too and has been wondering about an alternative for such eye sore... and it's about time for this sleeker and beautiful design.Those bulky ugly hood fans really has to go.Thanks for keeping us updated and excited!>>Helen

Music is still good, damn it!

It is true!
Music has never been bad, it has always been a matter of opinion. A certain genre of music has never been 'the worst genre ever', it's just what a selection of people thought about it. If you say music sucks nowadays, then how come you still listen to it? You know music is not bad, it depends on what you like!

With that, i keep discovering hidden gems, everywhere i go. I review them, describe my feelings and visions when i listen to it. I give you these gems, these visions, right here. Hope you enjoy, and keep in mind;

They are all my personal opinions. They are not based on facts.

6 opmerkingen:

  1. yar, at times i get into certain music that no one i personally know likes as well. it doesn't mean it's better or worse to me. but, if i do find something that perticularly annoys someone it is then that much better

  2. I always like the music that no one else likes, or wants to like (so it seems lately). For example, I LOVE Just A Souvenir, and loads of people thought it sucked for whatever reason. But that's the thing... It DOES NOT suck... they personally think it sucks. I personally think it's lovely... People too often speak in facts that they can't underbuild properly.

  3. i thought 'just a souvenir' sucked bad with the exception of Delta-V. for me the best SP album will always be 'music is one rotted note'

  4. Music Is Rotted One Note is absolutely excellent yeah.

A Little Christmas

November 22, 2016

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house!  I love to start decorating before Thanksgiving and take my time doing it.  I usually do a room a night and by December I get to just sit back and enjoy it.  The kids love to help now which is so much fun.  I love the tree with just white lights but we'll start adding in colored lights and ornaments on December first with the kids.

The kids also each have a tree in their rooms that they got to decorate last week any way they want.  And by tree I mean an entire Christmas section.  They literally sorted through our entire Christmas stash and claimed almost everything for themselves.  It's so cute!  I told them I may have to borrow a few things or the downstairs will be pretty empty this year ;)

What about you, do you decorate before Thanksgiving or wait until later December?  Growing up we had a live tree that we picked out the second week of December and immediately came home and trimmed with white lights and ornaments.  There was no theme as it was entirely sentimental ornaments from my parents childhood and things my siblings and I made.  It's still like that now which is pretty cool.  What's your decorating tradition?

Pin ThisShare on Tumblr

  1. Pretty fireplace! We host Thanksgiving so I don't start decorating for Christmas until Friday, but I can't wait! I put up two trees - one live and one artificial. We usually get the live one the second week in December. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and have fun decorating!

  2. This made me laugh! Love that your children have their own trees. Our main tree is in our living room in the picture window of course, but I finally convinced my husband two years ago for a second tree in our family room for all the gingerbread and cupcake ornaments. This year my almost 6 yr old daughter asked for a tree for her room and naturally little brother asked too. So now, a 4 ft tree in each of their rooms. Our trees have no theme; I was given an ornament each Christmas growing up and we have continued the tradition with our children. No shortage of ornaments here! Happy Happy Christmas!

Thanks for joining the conversation!
