Retro Lemonade Love

From the time I was a young girl I have always loved pucker your lips lemons! I've been drawn to sour squeeze your butt cheeks candy also! I can't help it! I love it!

My cousin and I would go to my Grandmother's for a holiday dinner and eat all of the lemon wedges she had cut for sweet tea!
We would even sprinkle salt on them and squeeze the tangy wangy juice into our mouths and we were happy!

I love the taste of fresh squeezed lemonade! What is more fun than to purchase a bag of lemons, get out your vintage juice reamer and churn and turn those lemons and watch the juice run down the sides of the dish? Pouring the gift of the gods juice into a vintage retro pitcher,adding sugar, water and ice! Yes ...I said REAL sugar it is the best for that southern style sit on your porch libation!

These retro pitchers were recently listed in my shop! I love the heavy glass of these mid century beauties! You can find them in many patterns and sizes!
I love the vibrant yellow flowers and green stems on this pitcher!

Look at the gorgeous coral and buttercup yellow of this pitcher!
Invite friends over this weekend and try this old fashioned lemonade recipe:

Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed from 8 large lemons (1-1/2 cups)
1/2  cup of sugar, granulated - more or less to taste
5  cups cold well water
1  large lemon, cut into small wedges or thin cartwheel slices
Freshly made Ice cubes. Make fresh ice cubes, as they may pick up freezer odors over a period of time, if not used regularly.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar and 2 cups of cold water; stir briskly to dissolve the sugar. Add the remaining ingredients and stir briskly again.
To make a Honey Flavored Lemonade:
Substitute your favorite "honey" for the granulated sugar. Adjust more or less to taste.
To make a Pink Lemonade:
Add a few drops of grenadine syrup or Grandma's red frosting food coloring

  1. ummmmm.... yum! I love fresh lemonade. my mom used to live in AZ and had a lemon tree. by the time we would get there to visit her, they were the size of oranges! there is NOTHING like the taste of fresh lemonade in the summer!
    thanks for the recipe kelly!

  2. This is beautiful!What a lovely blog:)

  3. Sounds delicious Kelly! Thanks for sharing! And those retro pitchers are so perfect for summer! I can't imagine that it will be too long before someone snatches those beauties up!

  4. I've never made fresh lemonade before so I'm going to have to pucker up and try this recipe. Thanks for sharing. Love your blog :)

  5. Love fresh lemonade!! Also love those cute pitchers!

Conversely, the mandible has a tendency to make lower dentures much less retentive as a result of displacing existence of the tongue and the higher charge of resorption, commonly resulting in considerably resorbed lower ridges.

A Duke of Her Own (Desperate Duchesses #6)

Leopold Dautry, the notorious Duke of Villiers, must wed quickly and nobly --- and his choices, alas, are few. The Duke of Montague's daughter, Eleanor, is exquisitely beautiful and fiercely intelligent. Villiers betroths himself to her without further ado.

After all, no other woman really qualifies. Lisette, the outspoken daughter of the Duke of Gilner, cares nothing for clothing or decorum. She's engaged to another man, and doesn't give a fig for status or title. Half the ton believes Lisette mad --- and Villiers is inclined to agree.

Torn between logic and passion, between intelligence and imagination, Villiers finds himself drawn to the very edge of impropriety. But it is not until he's in a duel to the death, fighting for the reputation of the woman he loves, that Villiers finally realizes that the greatest risk may not be in the dueling field ...

But in the bedroom. And the heart.

book review50

So I started the book thinking: OMG finally a book about Villiers!!! He’s like Batman of the 1700s or something! The previous book showed him being all superhero on the dudes who used the orphans and stuff. I can see a comic book coming out of this:

So after this I start the book. And I stare…. And keep on staring…. And final I ask the big question: where is the true Villiers? This one is a fake!

Yep! It seemed to me like that. Like the character I so far admired disappeared and left this little man behind. Now I will present my arguments and whatnot and eventually reach the conclusion I mentioned above.

First of all we meet Eleanor. She acts like an old lady so I was thinking omg she’s 35 or something poor thing. Guess what? She’s only 22 years old. Oh yeah. So being that old (yes, she’s younger than me – the joy!) she is told that she can’t appear in public without powder and all that crap on her face (God forbids her age would show!!!), she’s considered old already (thank you life!!!), she’s not a virgin anymore (meh) and it’s such a drama (as always) aaaand she’s risking not getting married because heh! Guess what? She’s too old!!! You may start laughing/cursing now. From some points of view I could actually get to like her. I mean I could already see her and Villiers having a good marriage, ten kids and eleven dogs.

Lisette was a piece of work. Mad, a total bitch and annoying like hell and yet Villiers is thinking of marrying her. Are men sadistic? Why do they get attracted to psychopaths? I know it’s not Villiers’ case since he’s just interested in raising his bastards but still… I thought he had better logic than this. Marriage to someone like her will never end up well. I don’t think you can find a more annoying woman than this. Lots of negative feelings are floating towards her from my side…

This is the image I have in mind when imagining her:

And yes Lisette after this book everyone WILL unfriend you on Facebook! J

I thought I liked Villiers better in the previous books. I mean I know we had just a few chapters from his point of view so maybe having a book about him is a bit overwhelming. You’re actually right to think him more of a villain than a hero. Guess that’s why I can’t hate him. Or maybe just a little after this performance of his.

I really have to admit that the book disappointed me. One of the main parts that turned me off about this story was that with Tobias and the rest of the kids. I know I may be an evil person BOOO!!! I hate kids and even though I love animals I didn’t like Oyster that much. Too much drama over a silly dog. How can I live with myself, right? Life does that to you. But heh! In the end I ended up liking the lil’ gremlin (aka Tobias). He could become a good man in the future.

There was a nice turn of events towards the end. The story got better and more enjoyable. I actually ended up loving Eleanor more than Villiers… Yes, yes I know you all hate me now but the dude was strange. In the end he did some cute stuff and turned out to be a puppy of some sort. Bad Villiers!!! Don’t pee on the carpet!!!

Aaaaand didn’t like the epilogue much…. I wanted something more romantic and less big-American-family style. Plus, I repeat, too many children involved kinda ruins the mood in a book. My opinion. I really really needed Super Villiers being all badass and acting like Batman rather than Villiers the Orphan Collector. Meh indeed.

I was expecting something way different from all this. I mean since I thought Villiers is the most interesting character I was sure that A Duke of Her Own will be my favorite in the series but unfortunately it didn’t top Elijah and Jemma’s story. Now I got stuck in the score. It’s either 3 or 3.5. Harsh, I know, but I had high expectations and it broke my heart!!! *cries*

Aaaah guess I’ll give it 3.5 just for old times’ sake.

Top 5 quotes

#5 "I never pee on the floor when irritated," Eleanor told him.
"You can have no idea how pleased I am to hear that," Villiers said.

#4 "You don't mind a dog in your bed, so I assume a bastard or two in the wings of your household will be equally acceptable."

#3 "So why have you disguised yourself as Mr. Ormston?" she asked after a time.
"It is more than a mere disguise. I want to be everything that you wish me to be. If you don't want a duke, then I don't want to be a duke."

#2 "Hello!" she called, waving her hand at him. "Time to rise and shine, Leopold!"
"Yes, Leopold," Eleanor said in a low, mocking voice. "Do start to shine, please. I think I saw the rising, but I definitely missed the shining."

#1 "[...] she'd never take you looking like that."
"Like what?"
"A posy. You look like a blooming posy. Like you don't care for your bag."
"My what?"
"Your potato-finger. Your holy thistle!"

Word Prompt: Thunderstorm

Leaves whip around and show their backsides

Nerves shake and flutter in the winds picking up

Warning us a storm approaches town

Big and bad like the savage gray wolf

Bares sharp yellow fangs and ghoulish howls

It rides near on a sea of black clouds

Trailing the river, on the hunt for fresh meat

We see it coming but we don’t do a thing

Paralyzed by the beast’s electric paws

Grumbling and snarling before rearing its head

Roaring like a banshee on Hallow’s Eve

Raises cain and flails destruction

Pelts fat drops of spit across the ground

Spitting harder and faster with vengeance and hate

A sheet of rain whirls at us at torpedo speed

Erasing the bluebird’s sun, the rabbit’s clear skies

Better batten down the hatches

And find a safe hole to hide.

– Written by Miss A

About 365 Things to Write About

I'm inspired by almost anything and everything creative - nature, architecture, art, words, music...I like to roam along streets, through foreign countries, and within my mind where the world is full of endless possibilities. I dream of being an idealist, but I've experienced too many harsh realities for that wish to ever be true. Therefore, I look for the hope and the good in small nuances, and I express my thoughts and feelings about the world around me on pages and canvases whenever I can.

Lee’s Story. Diary entry ~ June 3rd

Something bizarre happened today. Good bizarre.

Mum told us at dinner last night that a new family has moved in to that massive house down from us. I think she wanted us to know because there’s no one for us to hang out with here and weekends are dull as shit on a dark night. Apparently it’s a Doctor, his wife and daughter who is the same age as Lisa. I think Casey is her name, or was it Cassie? Not sure. Anyways, this morning me and Lise were outside on the back lawn just hanging out. She had her piss awful chart music on, dancing around like a banshee and screaming as usual. I was trying to grab the radio to find a better radio station when I noticed this figure approaching the garden. She had a long grey tshirt on with a face on it and as she came closer I noticed it was of Kurt Kobain. I stared at her, trying to work out if it was Casey/Cassie, but she had her head down so I couldn’t see her face to see how old she looked. I mean of course I WAS her. No one else lives around here for miles.

Anyway, she glanced up very briefly. I wanted to wave her over but when I saw her face I froze. Fucking froze. I went dizzy, my eyes went all fuzzy and my body went like jelly. What the hell? She was absolutely stunning. I was lost for words and could hear Lise saying ‘Who was that?’ as she disappeared down the path towards the woods. I felt myself stand up and go to the gate, stepping out onto the path to get a longer look as she became a speck walking into the woods in the distance.

I stood there for a few seconds just saying WOW over and over. I have GOT to meet this grunge girl!

Themes and Styles~ Grunge and Doc Marten Boots

Casey is a very independent thinker. She loves a variety of music styles and clothes, not liking to be ‘labelled’ as one thing or another. Her style, if it is to be given a name, would be Grunge as this encompasses many different elements and allows people who dress this way a greater amount of freedom and creative expression than, for example, Punk style.

In Chapter one, the first indicator of a teenage ‘Subculture’ or style, is the mention of Casey’s Doc Martens. These large, unfeminine boots really introduce her attitude to life and how she sees herself.

Applying for the Master of Social Work Graduate Program

What Does Social Work Mean to You and What Specific Branch of Social Work are You Particularly Interested in?

Since my childhood, I have been interested in the framework of a given society: how it operates. Through history and sociology classes in high school, I gained a deeper interest in this aspect of sociology. When I entered The Evergreen State College, I also took psychology courses, learned more about the interaction of people in social groups around the world, as well as the inner conflicts that everyone of us encounters, and ways of dealing with them. Later, at Seattle University, I decided to expand my interests beyond psychology and took a class called Social Work: An Introduction to the Ethics and History of Development. I later came to think of this decision as a revolutionary step that turned my attention to what I now am determined to make a calling, and a profession, for a lifetime.

Social work is diverse, since there are many groups of clients with their individual needs, issues, and hardships. Sure, there are basics and principles that any social worker puts into the foundation of their work. However, through what I have already learned about social work, I also realize that as a practical discipline, social work is about the particular and specific experience of working with a certain group of clients. For me, the branch of social work to which I would like to dedicate myself fully is working with the elderly. It may seem surprising, since some may think that the problems that elderly people are facing are rather typical and not so serious compared to what people living with AIDS, or children born with terminal diseases, or people facing cancer are going through. However, I strongly disagree. Issues of the elderly may be typical, and somewhat universal, but it does not in any way lessen their importance, or give objective reasoning to discount their problems.

Being an elderly person in the USA might not be as challenging as it is in Africa, or Kazakhstan, for example. Yes, we do have decent quality medical services and social security programs. Nevertheless, people tend to underrate, or close their eyes to many issues that individuals face when getting older. Elderly persons have to give up their job, which completely changes the lifestyle they have been used to for much of their lives. Feeling neglected, useless, and inactive in community life causes many elderly people to face depression after retirement—not forgetting the numerous health problems and psychological changes that everyone faces when getting old.

It is great if one has a supportive, caring family, friends, and an engrossing hobby with which to occupy oneself to help reevaluate one’s life and find a new purpose. And of course, the financial side of the issue is always not to be neglected. Overall, I believe that the elderly deserve just as much attention in terms of social work practice as any other suppressed and discriminated group does. I would love to work with the elderly as a social work specialist to implement and introduce innovative models and methods of social work with the elderly, based on the psychological and the sociological notions I studied at Seattle University, and plan to study more about, during a graduate program. I have lots of ideas which I am determined to develop in relation to social work with the elderly. For example, I want to each elderly client that I work with to gain a sense of leadership, teaching them to become natural leaders. But most importantly, I have a strong desire to help people that deserve our attention, respect, and care, since they contributed so much to American society, and deserve to be appreciated.

As a People Ops user you should have access to comments but there is a maximum of only one demographic filter (for confidentiality reasons discussed here).

Comments can provide some interesting color and some further insight into specific issues that may be raised by your survey. However, comments should be viewed as secondary to the quantitative results for a number of reasons.

  1. Comments are often from a smaller number of respondents so they may not be representative of everyone. Oftentimes, the point of a survey is to allow each employee an equal say or vote so focusing on comments from a few individuals can defeat this purpose.
  2. Individuals that are unfavorable are more likely to leave a comment (according to our research 7 times more likely to be exact). They also leave longer comments than their favorable counterparts.
  3. People are by their nature sensitive to negative feedback so we will often focus on negative comments and ignore both the survey results and other comments (that may be positive).
  4. Some individuals are by their nature more likely to write comments. For example, in our 2017 New Tech Benchmark Report we found individuals in sales are 20% more likely to comment than engineers. This can result in the same person writing most of the comments across multiple questions.

The best thing to do with comments is leave them until you’ve absorbed your results and then to use comments to understand some more detail. If you have a low score on something check the comments for those that might help you understand and take a good look through the comments provided on impact questions where your scores might be lower.

Comments can also form part of your results conversations where you ask employees about their thoughts but remember they are often personalized so it is best to paraphrase a few that are constructive and in line with the overall results. This can emphasize that it is the overall results that will shape the ongoing conversation and action and that constructive comments are going to get the most voice.

How to prioritize your time when looking at comments:

Reflect on the areas that you have identified as standing out, which comments can help provide the most context for these results? You may choose to align questions with the drivers of most interest or that provide some explanation for the survey results.

Which questions are of most interest to your company?

Within those sections, identify 2-3 comments for each that provide context for the results.

If you're aiming for an overview of the themes being talked about in your comments, never underestimate the power of a simple word cloud.

Sally, My Gentle Giant

So I arrived back in London in the early hours of the English morning. The past month of my life in South Africa has been absolutely amazing and I would not change a single thing that happened.

Aside from my previously posted experiences, obviously the primary reason that I went to the glorious Western Cape of the bush was to attend the Wildlife Film School and learn everything about producing wildlife documentaries, aka The Dream.

edit leaning

The amount that I have learnt and the skills that I have now acquired are more extensive than I ever could have imagined. Having started the course as someone who had never filmed or edited anything, I was the producer, director, scriptwriter, cameraman, narrator, sound mixer and editor of my wildlife documentary.

Like everything, you never realise the amount of work that goes into something until you do it yourself – and now I really understand why it takes professional crews of 50 people an entire year to produce a one-hour documentary; especially when you’re filming something as unpredictable as wildlife!

So here it is…my 3-minute documentary about the beautiful relationship between the matriarchal elephant Sally, and her 20-year bond with the amazing Geoffrey!

Just do me a favour and watch it on your computers, not your phones, with the music turned up high, no earphones – for maximum enjoyment.

I really hope you like it and would really appreciate any feedback that you might have.

President, Committee Members, Members, Wives, Partners, Families and Friends,

There is no greater honour than to serve in the Armed Forces of a nation, especially in times of conflict. That honour extends to the wives, partners and families of those who serve as they wait for the return of their loved ones and provide love and support.

The fifteen years I have had the pleasure of being Patron of this vibrant Association, have just flown. Much has happened and the Association has developed and matured into an effective and compassionate organisation supporting the members and families. But it is more than that as the Association has also developed and maintained strong international links largely created from members serving alongside our colleagues from the United States, Britain and New Zealand.

The success of the ADAA goes to the leadership of Presidents past and present ably supported by each Committee and the enthusiasm of members themselves. It is of great credit to all.

The military is unique in the way veterans establish and maintain very close relationships. These mostly stem from operations on Active Service often in very trying circumstances. It is something we have all experienced and are the better for it as is our great nation. Individually we owe a debt to our loved ones and I stress the importance of caring for wives or partners, family members and friends who have done so much for us over the years. It is equally important to assist colleagues who may be in need especially when they may be too proud to ask.

The threats to our great nation and our Allies continue. The nature of the threats have and will continue to change as the world changes. The ADF and our Allies have been adept at meeting the challenges faced by our respective nations individually and as allies. But nothing replaces the need for highly competent, dedicated and professional service personnel to prosecute operations effectively. Stand tall and proud for all of you are part of that.

As we mature the young and capable replace us. It is important to know when to step down. My time has come. Thank you for the opportunity to be your Patron, it has been an honour.

Warm regards to all,

Major General David Ferguson AM, CSC (R)
Sandstone Point 4511

Watkinsville, Georgia • Geosciences View Profile

Spring Break in the Bahamas, part II

My "mandatory" field trip with GEO370, Sedimentology

Flooded camp
An inch or two of slowly encroaching water where our tents used to be...(Photo credit: Blake Dyer)

Day 4 continued: My team was closest to camp, so we could see the water creeping toward our tents, probably an inch every few seconds. We ran back just as the first few tents were inundated, and we began dragging the tents onto the highest ground possible. In the face of the unrelenting tide, it almost seemed as if the only dry places would be the branches of the few scraggly pine trees, so we started stowing the most important equipment in the trees. When there was only about a basketball court of dry land, the tide finally turned. A couple more inches, and the only dry place for miles would have been the branches of the pine trees.

Days 5 & 6: The next two days of fieldwork were less eventful. We coped with the flies and sunburn by rewriting and singing Beyoncé lyrics and eating too many cliff bars (and, of course, appreciating the natural beauty around us). Toward the end of each day, during the 9th and 10th hours of fieldwork, a certain sort of delirium would start to set in. In my team, this delirium had manifold manifestations: At one point, we established ourselves as the McDoogle clan, giving ourselves names like Rock or Stark (that was me) McDoogle. Our singing would become increasingly guttural, and eventually we would just stop working and run into the ocean to wash off the day’s grime.

Field work

Day 7: On our last day in the tidal flats, we actually went to the inland marsh where my team was originally supposed to work. This desolate landscape was entirely lined by a luxuriant carpet of moss-like bacteria that squished under your feet. Since we had spent the previous three days probing the ground to feel the bedrock, which was still totally mysterious to us, frustration led us to dig a hole. We got close enough to touch it (about five feet down), but the hole kept filling with water and smelled like hundreds of years of decaying organic matter (which was appropriate, since it actually was). We then headed back to the mainland, done with fieldwork, and for the rest of the day we cleaned equipment and rested.

Day 8: On the last day of “learning” we again piled into a van, but this time we were staying on the mainland. The first stop of the morning was a cave where we could see the substrate of the entire island. This substrate is limestone, which dissolves easily in rain water (or any water under-saturated with carbonate), forming huge holes in the bedrock, some of which develop into cave networks where a layer of the limestone is weaker than the layers around it. For lunch, we drove to a cliff made of this limestone, where the limestone was actually about 10 meters of “frozen” sand dunes on top of a 120,000-year-old coral reef, which was pretty cool. Back when sea levels were 100 meters lower, so much limestone was exposed and eroded that huge circular pits formed where 100 meters of limestone are eroded away, so-called “blue holes”. Nowadays these blue holes are full of water, forming what are basically 300-foot-deep swimming pools. We drove around the island until we found one of them, which unbelievably had a wooden dock from which we could jump 20 feet above the water.

Day 9: Our final day was spent returning to Princeton, once again piling into chartered airplanes that took us to Fort Lauderdale, and then a group flight to Newark. I made it back to my room by 11 p.m., sunburn already peeling, but refreshed and ready for the second half of the semester.

Vehicular Fun in the Bahamas

Adventures with Kris – Because we took a vacation and we had lots of fun adventures! Tonight, I’d like to share the vehicular fun. I knew I would most likely be the one driving so I had my daughter look up in advance which side of the road they drive on in the Bahamas. She confirmed they do drive on the left. Guess I’ll figure it out!
When we flew into Nassau, the rental car was just like the cars here in the US. The steering wheel and everything was on the left. I had a momentary wondering if maybe they really do drive on the right side, but I learned really quickly that they do in fact drive on the left! Bahamians do not believe in stop lights – They just do circles everywhere. Roundabout, take the second exit, in half a mile, take the second exit at the roundabout… to drive straight down the road! Then we found a sign that said “Z next 2 miles”… Oh, and the sign with the two cars on it means, “Dangerous curve, no overtaking.” I managed to keep up with where I was despite the lack of understandable signs, and I did great in Nassau driving on the left. Well. Almost.
So we decided to eat lunch, and we followed signs to a steakhouse. The signs pointed down a street that I did not realize was actually a DIVIDED street. I turned on the street, careful to stay to the left, and I looked ahead to realize this was a one-way street – left traffic was on the other side of the median. Oops. I flipped a U and tried again on the other side of the median.
Our plane was delayed and we got to Exuma after the rental car place closed. They sent me an email saying that my name was on the dash of my car, and the key was under the driver’s floor mat. My daughter and I ran all over the parking lot to find the car with my name on it was at the very front. Of course. Excitedly, I opened the driver’s door and pulled up the floor mat. Nothing. Oh no. Please let’s not have another problem today, pretty please. My daughter checked the driver’s floor mat also, because a second set of eyes is always good! Then I walked around, praying we would find the keys. I told her maybe they put them on the passenger side – I opened the passenger door and was relieved to see a little lump under the floor mat. I quickly pulled up the keys and told my daughter I found them. Whew. I’m not sure why they put them on the other side, but they sure did give me quite a scare considering all the problems we’d had up to that point. Then I walked back around the car and hopped in the driver’s seat while my daughter walked around to the passenger side…. except when I went to put the key in the ignition, there was nothing there. No steering wheel, no pedals, no ignition…. It was all on the other side of the car. You’re kidding me!! Apparently, they DID put the keys under the driver’s mat. Now with both of us crawling around the front seats, how did NEITHER of us notice the lack of pedals, steering wheel, etc on the driver’s side? And how did NEITHER of us notice it on the passenger side even after I ducked under the steering wheel to get the keys from under the floor mat and carefully placed the mat back under the pedals?! SERIOUSLY? Am I THAT dense?!
Okay, now let me tell you about this backwards car. The ignition is on the right side, by the door. The gear shift is in the center – you shift gear with your left hand. When you’re driving and you want to turn, the windshield wipers come on. For days, I used windshield wipers as turn signals. I finally got it through my incredibly thick head that the turn signal is on the RIGHT side with the RIGHT hand. Yes, this old dog CAN learn new tricks!
This might also be the time to mention the speed limit signs say 30 mph. The car? It doesn’t show MPH, it only gives KPH. In digital form (not the little circle thing that has both like we do here – no, that would be FAR too easy for someone to figure out how fast they’re going). So while I’m driving, the car says 45 kph, and the sign says 30 mph. NO idea what the conversion is, and I didn’t have international phone service so I couldn’t just look it up. Nope, that would have been too easy, too. So I spent the whole time guesstimating 30 mph and hoping I wouldn’t get stopped for speeding!
I got it figured out though, and we didn’t have any major problems…. except that one time I hit a pothole. And thunk, thunk, thunk…. Ugh. Flat tire. I pulled over, and by the time we got the trunk open, a kind man stopped and said, “I’ll get this for you!” He made quick work of it, and he suggested I avoid the potholes. LOL Yeah, I figured that out. Thanks. I know to avoid potholes, and I was trying – but perception from the wrong side of the car when everything is backwards just isn’t quite the same.
OH, we were trying to go meet our tour guide for the first tour. All I knew was “the port” so we were directed to Berreterre. We drove all the way up there just to find out we were at the WRONG dock. We were supposed to be in George Town. The guys were hilarious as they were looking at us in disbelief and telling us we were TWENTY-TWO MILES from our destination! That is apparently a MASSIVE distance for them. Of course, I was all, “Oh, okay. No problem then, let’s go!” “It’s TWENTY TWO MILES!!” “Okay, thank you!” “Man, you’ve got a LONG WAY to go!”… I was laughing, 22 miles is nothing, but I’m from Texas. 22 miles is over half their island. Yeah, I can see why it was such a big deal!
So we headed over to George Town. Have I mentioned yet that I didn’t have a map? We’d planned to get one at the airport or the car place, but it was all closed when we arrived. Yes, even the airport – we never went through a building. We got off the plane, grabbed our bags from the cart, and walked through a chain-link fence. I was doing the best I could to navigate and was using the photographic memory of a map I’d looked at days before and had NOT intended to try to memorize. It worked for the most part, but…. in town became complicated. I drove into George Town, but we didn’t know where the dock was. Then we saw it! I did a quick U-turn and headed back to the dock. The car behind me blocked the road and put his hands up like, “What are you doing?!” I was careful to stay to the left, I had no idea what his problem was.
That’s the day we met up with Captain CJ and his crew. Captain CJ told us all the pertinent information we needed to know. Like that all the streets going around towns are ONE WAY. There’s not a single sign, you just have to KNOW it’s a one-way street. Seriously!! Well, that’s why the car was acting all weird that I turned around then…. But I learned that lesson and never went backwards in George Town again! We circled around if we needed to go backwards – which is what they all do anyway. Circles everywhere! By the time we left though, I was a pro at Exuma. I’ve driven from the northern point at Berreterre to the southern point beyond Williamstown. And I didn’t go the wrong way in any cities anymore!
The very last day, I stopped at the gas station to fill up the car in George Town. There was a car in front of me so I circled around him and went to the pump on the other side. They don’t have self serve, someone pumps the gas for you. The man who was pumping gas told me I was going the wrong way in the gas station. What? There’s a wrong way in the gas station now too? Yes, you go in and pull out the same direction as traffic. And if you go backwards, they tell you about it because you’re messing up the flow of traffic. Who knew?! Hah, it does make perfect sense though, doesn’t it?
Everyone there is incredibly nice though, and the horns are used for communication. Regularly. You hear “beep beep” from a car telling another car to go ahead, and the other car goes “beep” to say thanks, and then you hear “beep” again from the first car! Lots of beeps – if those guys came to Dallas, they’d be shot! It was strange adjusting to all the honking, but once we realized it was ALL friendly communication, it was really kind of neat. 🙂
Coming back home proved another set of adjustments. Remember how I said the wipers were on the left, and the blinkers were on the right in the car on Exuma? Remember how I said I adjusted and got it down? Now let me tell you about my car here….
My blinker is on the left…. and my gear shift is on the right. Just let that sink in for a little bit.

About Columbia Oaks Apartments

Columbia Oaks Apartments is a 16 unit affordable housing community in Centralia, Missouri. The community is located in the 4th Congressional District of Missouri.

Low Income Housing Tax Credit

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, monthly rent cannot exceed the Tax Credit maximum rent for the area. Households earning less than 60% of the area median income qualify for units with reduced rent. Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore may be set at levels higher than the area's LIHTC limits.

Columbia Oaks Apartments was built in part with financing obtained through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. In addition to providing apartments for low-income households, this property could include some market rate units. Households earning 60% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI) qualify for targeted rental units in LIHTC financed housing. This property may also designate units for renters with even lower incomes, from 60% of AMI down to 30% AMI. It is even possible that all units have been set aside for those with extremely low incomes (as low as 15% of AMI). This means that the same size unit can rent for different amounts based on the income of the renter.

Figuring out income and rent limits for affordable housing can be complex when more than one Federal program is involved. To know for sure if you qualify, you must contact the property directly. The amounts provided here should only be used as a basic guide.

Excellence awards honor faculty, administrators and rectors

Author: Arts and Letters

Thirteen members of the University of Notre Dame faculty were honored with excellence awards at the annual President’s Dinner held this month on campus.

Professor of marketing Michael J. Etzel , a distinguished scholar generally recognized as the “architect” of the current Department of Marketing, was honored with the 2008 Faculty Award. Nominations for the award are submitted by the faculty at large, with a committee of former award winners making the final selection.

“He is a highly recognized and accomplished scholar in consumer behavior, and has provided extensive service to the marketing profession,” the citation reads. Etzel also is a past recipient of the University’s Grenville Clark Award, and has served as chairman of the board of the American Marketing Association.

Vice president and general counsel Carol C. Kaesebier , who “has embodied the Notre Dame spirit throughout her career,” is the recipient of the 2008 Presidential Award, an honor presented to those who have given distinguished service to the University over an extended period of time. Nominations for the award are received from the faculty at large. Kaesebier, who has represented the University and assisted in its growth and development for 20 years, has announced she will retire in fall 2008.

Two faculty members were honored with the Rev. James A. Burns, C.S.C., Graduate School Award for excellence in, and commitment to, graduate education—Notre Dame Chair in Psychology E. Mark Cummings and Mark A. Stadtherr , professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering.

A prolific researcher, Cummings is deemed “a leader in developmental psychology, particularly in the field of family processes and children’s socio-emotional development.” He is revered by graduate students, it was noted, because of his exemplary mentoring and training.

Stadtherr, known worldwide for his research on the development and application of strategies for reliable engineering computing, has made broad-ranging and exemplary contributions to graduate education. In addition, Stadtherr, who also has served as director of graduate studies for the past 12 years, has played a key role in the effort to advance the technical and computing capabilities of his college and the University as a whole.

Other recipients of awards of excellence include:

Rev. Thomas E. Gaughan , C.S.C., the Rev. John “Pop” Farley, C.S.C., Award, honoring distinguished service to student life at the University. Gaughan, who is completing his 16th year as rector of Stanford Hall, is a gifted homilist known for his compassion and love for students. He also is a longtime chaplain of the Notre Dame hockey team.

Joseph W. Thomas , the Rev. Paul J. Foik, C.S.C., Award for exemplary contributions by a librarian. “A role model for his professional work and for his personal commitment to Notre Dame’s ideals and mission,” he currently leads the largest unit within the Kresge Law Library, and is playing a critical role in the Law School building and renovation process.

Thomas L. Nowak , the Grenville Clark Award, honoring volunteer activity and public service that advances the cause of human rights. Nowak, professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and his wife, Marlene, assist refugee families to resettle in South Bend, help those released from prison reintegrate into society through Dismas House, and help the homeless through the Catholic Worker House. Through the Christ Child Society, the couple also has helped clothe many poor children in the city.

Two faculty members are recipients of the Thomas P. Madden Award for outstanding teaching of first-year students. Joseph Buttigieg , the William R. Kenan Jr. Chair in English, “challenges students on their arguments and invites them to think harder and more precisely. His many grateful students recognize him as rigorous, accessible, challenging and sympathetic.” Professor of mathematics Dennis M. Snow is known for "the clarity of his explanations, the rigor of his thought, and the imagination he utilizes in keeping students excited about mathematics. Snow also displays his talents, it was noted, by playing guitar at Masses on campus.

F. Clark Power , professor in the Program of Liberal Studies, the Reinhold Niebuhr Award, honoring a person whose life and writings promote or exemplify social justice. Power “has spent his career in the field of moral and ethical education and development, with a particular emphasis on character development.” He is further described as “a teacher with a passion for justice and making education available to all,” including his students, guests at the Center for the Homeless, and at-risk teens in the local high schools.

Vittorio G. Hsle , Paul G. Kimball Professor of Arts and Letters, the Research Achievement Award. Since joining the faculty nearly 10 years ago, Hsle “has established a superb record of research and scholarship, while devoting considerable time and effort to teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students.” A philosopher by training, he has made significant contributions in the areas of ethics, metaphysics, political philosophy, aesthetics and intellectual history. He is the author of 31 books, 118 papers and more than 100 international presentations. He also has been the subject of two documentaries.

Paul R. Brenner , high-performance computing engineer in the Center for Research Computing, the Rev. William A. Toohey, C.S.C., Award for Social Justice. Brenner, who has committed a part of his life to service since his days as an undergraduate, also has been recognized by the Notre Dame Alumni Association with a number of awards and distinctions for his generous service to organizations including La Casa de Amistad, Reins of Life and the Northern Indiana Center for History.

Rev. Ralph L. Haag , C.S.C., rector of St. Edward’s Hall, the Rev. William A. Toohey, C.S.C., Award for Preaching. Father Haag preaches often in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and in the residence halls, and participates as a homilist for His homilies “consistently offer words that inspire as well as comfort those who listen to them.” Father Haag also devotes considerable energy to working with Hispanic students on campus through Campus Ministry’s Latino student ministry programs.

Why can’t Strategy be Inspiring?

Vitruvius’ three principles of firmitatis utilitatis venustatis, from his semenal work De Architectura, roughly translates as durability (it should be robust), utility (it should be practical and functional) and beauty (it should inspire). Could these three aspects of architecture apply to Strategy?

It’s all about Strategy Execution

If there is one thing missing from so many otherwise great organizations I’ve worked with, it is strategy execution. Many managers understand that a strategy is essential for success over the …

More archaeologists believe to have found a colossal 300-meters-tall pyramid in Romania dating back tens of thousands of years.

Pyramids were a religious trend for ancient civilizations. From Africa to North America, Asia and Europe, these unique structures are spread all across the globe, where various cultures had built them without any apparent connection established between them.

Overall, pyramids share a similar architecture and were envisioned as religious places of extreme importance, be it as a resting place for a great ruler, or a ceremonial center dedicated to the gods.

Although many of these imposing structures have stood the test of time, we only know of those that had been constructed a few hundreds, sometimes thousands of years ago. However, in recent years evidence has been mounting up in regards to antediluvian civilizations which thrived before the last glaciation, or what it has been known as “the great flood”. It happened more than 14,000 years ago according to most researchers, and it appears that these timeworn peoples were also skilled pyramid builders.

Could this prove that long before the first known organized societies there were others at least on the same advancement level as today? And were they also able to transit the planet?

Proof of these forgotten forefathers stand both the Sumerian King List and the Egyptian pharaohs timeline which remind of their rulers up to a time when the gods first descended upon the Earth. The nearest palpable evidence of antediluvian civilizations are the Bosnian pyramids discovered in 2005, constructions dating anywhere between 12,500 to 30,000 years back. While investigations at this site are well underway, it appears that another startling discovery has been made a bit due est into the land of Romania.

An intriguing mound from the Buzau mountains chain measuring about 1,000 meters from sea level has captivated the curiosity of archaeologists after they stumbled across the remnants of what they presume to be another ancient megalithic pyramid.

Tuturdui Pyramid covered in luxurious vegetation

As you can see in the above picture, the mountain has all the traits of a pyramid. It measures 300 meters from the bottom, that’s 150 meters more than the Pyramid of Giza and 80 meters more than the Pyramid of the Sun in Bosnia.

Archaeologists climbing the top of the alleged monument have found remnants of ancient megalithic walls consisting of three layers of overlaid stones glued together using clay, a material which provides extensive protection from pluvial waters and it’s also an excellent choice when binding stones.

Probably the most intriguing aspect of the fortification was the thick reddish-brown layer of material composed of mineral oxides which covered the exterior wall of the pyramid. Based on this plaster covering even the cracks between stones, researchers were able to date the structure using a technique known as radiestezia, which yielded gripping results – the stones appeared to be 22 to 25,000 years of age.

I was expecting the results to be around 12,000 years, considering that some of the Sumerian tablets unearthed on our territory mention about King Luana, an antediluvian semi-god that ruled over this land, said Dan Popovici, one of the researchers. “I was astonished when the radiestezic pendant indicated 25,000 years! Although I cannot be 100% sure of this dating, my intuition says this is the right date in time.”

Material used to date the megalithic structure

On several places on the side of the mountain, archaeologists stumbled across more brickwork belonging to this forgotten civilization. The stones seem to be artificially cut and the straight lines further indicate the possible use of advanced technology, while the inclined design of the wall hints at its former triangular shape. Could this have been indeed a stepped pyramid?

According to several sources, the communist regime that had once subdued Romania specialized in concealing and destroying all traces of the heritage left behind by the ancient Romanian people. According to several authors, in 1980 the secret services operating under the communist regime had searched out the summit of this mountain where they had discovered an altar standing on a flat plateau scarred only by the passing of time.

Image with what used to be the terrace of the pyramid

Two agents allegedly breached through an opening of a portal and were never to be heard again. After collecting all the desired material from atop the pyramid, the communists blew up the altar together with the terrace. The story should be taken with a grain of salt, although evidence of the explosion can be seen upon reaching the peak, while other local accounts vividly remind of this incident from the 80s.

Whatever they had found up there we can only guess, but there’s no denial the Buzau Mountains of Romania are full of reminders of a complex past, such as underground dwellings, cave carvings and petroglyphs in a language believed to predate the Sumerian dialect.

Pre-Sumerian writings found in the area close to the pyramid / on the right side Slavic writings

It’s no wonder that such influences existed in this part of the world. North-Eastern Europe is also called the Old Europe, entitled this way to depict a pre-Indo-European culture from the Neolithic (around 7,000 BC) with a strong cultural background. It is thought they would exchange knowledge with the ancient Greeks. Unquestionable proof of this stands the clay tablets unearthed at Tartaria, Transylvania, which bear inscriptions belonging to the Vinca, a culture with a writing system predating that of the Sumerians.

They were also able to reach all the way to Mesopotamia through a landmass substituting what is now the Black Sea. Thousand of years ago this body of salt water was comprised of a series of freshwater lakes. Circa 5,600 B.C. It formed into the Black Sea after the waters of the Mediterranean breached a sill through the Bosphorus strait, but once again this is just a hypothesis.

With so many ancient riddles that are only now being brought to light, it’s no surprise if after a few more years of archaeological breakthroughs we’ll have to rethink the entire history of humanity. The lack of technological means, or better said the limited access to LIDAR technology pushes hard on the shoulders of any archaeologists who wants to prove that our defined timeline has numerous flaws and requires a serious revision.

However, the years to come promise to dramatically lower the costs of underground scanning equipment and so every aspiring archaeologist may become a professional. Looking forward into the future!

All kids are born artists

One of the songs I’ve always loved is Celine Dion’s Power of the dream.

Deep within each heart
There lies a magic spark
That lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man
The strength of just ” I can “
Has brought together people of all nations

There’s nothing ordinary
In the living of each day
There’s a special part
Every one of us will play

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
As the world gives us its best
To stand apart from all the rest
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Your mind will take you far
The rest is just pure heart
You’ll find your fate is all your own creation
And every boy and girl
As they come into this world
They bring the gift of hope and inspiration

Everytime I listen to this song, I feel each person comes to this world talented, with a special role to play in this world. Problem is, many people never get to realize their talents because their parents/guardians didn’t help them discover and nurture their gifts when they were still young.

‘Geniuses are not born, they are made.’ I’ve heard that statement severally. Recently I was watching TED talks, where the speaker-Sir Ken Robinson-was saying, all kids are born artists. He was talking about how parents push their kids into getting into college to get diplomas and degrees they might never use in their lives. Many parents don’t like it when their kids pick up anything that has to do with arts. So most of the time someone decides to do music, poetry, dance…etc. professionally, they do it behind their parents’ backs.

Personally I’ve met people who have university degrees, but chose to do something different entirely. Most parents only agree to it, when their kids have taken a shot and succeeded, and given that not everyone’s lucky, some of those who fail end up feeling like miserable failures, especially if their parents/guardians were against it from the start.

all kids are born artists

The speaker also mentioned that the value of education is slowly depreciating, saying that when he was young, anyone with a college degree who didn’t have a job failed to have one out of their own volition. Nowadays, many young people are jobless, yet they have all the credentials they could need to secure well-paying jobs; and even those with jobs feel underemployed because the jobs they hold don’t match their credentials. This is attributed to the fact that nowadays bachelor’s degrees aren’t as valuable as they were back then. People with master’s degrees and PhD’s are given first priority when seeking employment.

This same people who suffer day after day because they don’t have jobs, are very talented people. They feel stuck because they don’t realize they could earn a living from using their talents, because the society we live in disparages arts.

When asked what they want to be when they grow up, most of the kids will say, “I want to be a doctor/neurosurgeon/lawyer/teacher/pilot/accountant…etc. Very few say they want to be painters/actresses/musicians/dancers/writers/athletes/poets…you know, careers that have to do with our natural talents. When all’s said and done, many talents end up undiscovered.

Once when I was in high school, a motivational speaker asked, “Do you know where you can find the most talent?” It sounded somewhat rhetorical, so no student cared to answer. “At the cemeteries,” he finished. Confused, we all stared at him, waiting for him to expound. Thankfully he did. “Many people don’t do anything to nurture their talents. If you ask, some will even tell you they don’t have talents. Eventually, they take their undiscovered talents to the graves with them when they die.”

He gave me something new to reflect on. It’s unfortunate that some people spend all their lives, oblivious to the beautiful gifts they possess. As Celine sings, “Every boy and girl, as they come into this world, they bring the gift of hope and inspiration.”  We all have an important role to play in this world. Everyone has the power to dream; and if one can dream it- if they’re determined- they will achieve it.
