Greenhouse Bloom 14 . . .

How about some of you in Canada and across the pond. Comments can be made at the end of this page . . . it is easy and I would like to know how you enjoy the blog. If it not against your nature, please identify yourself.
A left click on your mouse will give you a larger picture.
It just did not seem proper to stop on Greenhouse Bloom 13! Maybe I should have skipped 13 altogether. Also, I wanted to show you our Chinese Fringe Tree which is just off our patio in the back yard. We planted this tree shortly after moving here in 1993 so I would guess that it was planted in about 1995 so that would make it about 15 years old. The Fringe Tree is unlike other flowering trees with which I am familiar, it leafs out and then flowers. Most trees flower then leaf out. These flowers are very dainty and fragrant. If you put some on your arm it is like what I imagine several butterflies landing on your arm would feel like. Here is the Chinese Fringe Tree.
One of the cultivars always catching my eye in the greenhouse is Don Lovell's "SELWYN", named for Selwyn Rash of Ellsworth, IA. The reason I listed it this way is that I am not sure if Don has registered it yet or not. Maybe he will leave a comment at the bottom of this blog telling us. It is a beauty and I have been spreading its pollen. On top of the beauty, it is also dormant. Here is "SELWYN."

A noteworthy late blooming seedling is No. 8192 (Country Jazz X Wonder Of It All). WOIA was the pollen parent, CJ was the pod parent. I like the the eye and the way it is etched, and the petal edge which has a very fine line to match the eye plus a very fine white edge, much like its pod parent but much stronger color. A very striking flower. Below is 8192.

I am estimating that it is going to be about 3 weeks before the 8000 seedlings in the field start blooming. If this weather does not warm up (today in the 50s) it may be a month. I think the seedling bloom is what keeps me going.

Attend a daylily function near you (or even far). The friends you make will last a lifetime where a daylily only lasts a day. If you are headed south on I-24 or I-75 to the National Convention, we are only about 20 minutes off the interstate. Please stop and visit with us.

Life is very, very Good.

I thought I would do something a little different today. I am pretty proud of our 2010 introduction, H. 'Robert W. Carr', named in honor of my late friend Dr. Bob Carr. In September 2007, Bob called me from the hospital and asked if I would send him some seedling pictures to view since he had not been able to see bloom that spring. I did, and he returned two and asked, “If either of these make the cut, would you name it for me?” Of course, I said yes. Ironically, it has the same parents as Bob’s H. ‘Wonder Of It All’.

I am going to show you several seedlings, all with one thing in common, one of the parents is H. 'Robert W. Carr'. Please enjoy.

H. 'Robert W. Carr'

 No. 9064 (Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis X Robert W. Carr)

No. 9065 (Lone Wolf X Robert W. Carr)

No. 9049 (Serenity Bay X Robert W. Carr)

No. 9057 (Robert W. Carr X Some Sweet Day)

No. 9046 (Robert W. Carr X Some Sweet Day)

You can see the diversity having one common parent and crossing it with a different parent.

As I looked around the greenhouse this morning I was shocked at the number of white cross tags indicating pods. I had thought to myself the other day that I should stop this nonsense but then the next day there would be an entirely new bloom that I just had to use. However, I have given myself until the 30th of April and then I will stop! We shall see how this works. Is this another New Year's resolution in April?

Life is very, very good.

Greenhouse Bloom 12 . . .

This post will be a little different. Instead of featuring daylilies, I will show some other bloom in the greenhouse. Every year Jean starts annuals for planting in her perennial gardens. She uses the annuals for instant and length of bloom. This year she planted 12 trays of marigold 'Janie' for lots of edging color. I think these were planted around March 1. This year's crop is the best she has ever had because the spider mites did not get into them as usual. I began spraying as soon as potted plants were taken into the greenhouse in December and continued for several weeks after. This eliminated the spider mite, thrips, fungus gnats, etc. problems that I normally have. Please see Jean's marigolds below.

Another thing she usually starts are Zinneas. This years crop is the best ever. Started around March 1, you can see that they are straight and tall, unlike a lot of years where they have gotten stringy and bent over. She will plant these out in one of the raised beds and use for cut flowers. She grows a myriad of other perennials along with the annuals.

I would be remiss if I did not include one daylily seedling. Below is seedling No 9048, a cross of H. 'Crazy Ivan' (top left) Grace-Smith 2005 as the pollen parent and H. 'Elisa Dallas' (bottom left) Trimmer 2004 as the pod parent. I refer to 9048 as "Pansy Eye" because that is what it looks like. The eye color is actually more like Crazy Ivan than what it shows here.

Seedling No. 9048 (Elisa Dallas X Crazy Ivan)

I had no idea what a blog was until I heard Nikki Schmith's talk at the 2010 Mid-Winter Symposium in Nashville, TN. After watching, I thought , "I can do that." And I did. It does get a little frustrating at times when you want to format something and it does not want to cooperate, but just wait a minute and sneak up on it when it is not looking and figure some way around the problem. Blogs are free, they do not cost to maintain on some computer stuck back in Russia or China somewhere, it is on your computer. The space does not cost you anything (which I have a hard time understanding) and the domain name doesn't cost anything. If you are interested, the one I use is www.blogspot.com . . . give it a try, you may enjoy it.

Greenhouse Bloom 11 . . .

A greenhouse makes setting pods on daylilies much easier than outside because you can somewhat control the environment. Most greenhouses that I know growing daylilies have some sort of heating . . . ours is by a 150,000 btu natural gas heater. Only very few greenhouses that I know have some method of cooling . . . if they do, it is usually water cooled . . . I doubt that many could afford regular air conditioning. Our greenhouse is just a basic one . . . as I said, we do have heat, but the only cooling we have is by exhaust fans. Still, the heat at times in bright sunlight will reach 100° or higher. I have heard in the past that setting seed under 60° or over 90° is almost impossible. I still don't hybridize until the heat level reaches 60° but many days that I have hybridized the heat has reached the 100°+ level and I have still gotten good seed set. Go figure! Another advantage to a greenhouse is that I can get an early start on my hybridizing, most of the time finishing before bloom starts outside when I need to be taking care of things and evaluating seedlings outside. Below is a picture of the greenhouse taken this morning 04/18/10 and I would guess that I am just past peak bloom.

The first thing your eyes are drawn to is the beauty of the bloom. However, this is not the most important factor. In the enlargement below you can see all of the cross tags indicating pod set. Now go back and look at a blow up of the greenhouse image and look for the cross tags.

I admire those of you who hybridize UFs (yes, I did say that). As you saw in an earlier blog, I do have a few UFs in the greenhouse. I would estimate that I have made 25 crosses thus far and have not set one pod . . . and this on a plant in the hybridizer's description said, "Pod and pollen fertile." You must really have to persevere to get your seeds.

The cross tags that you see in the picture above are the bread tags that are sold by Gary Schaben and in my opinion are the best way to go. If you use an Industrial Sharpie, they can be used over and over by just soaking them in a Clorox/water mixture to clean. I have no monetary interest in the tags.

Bloom will soon be starting in the south and we will be able to follow it to the north . . . how great is that?

Daylilies bring friend together.

Greenhouse Bloom 10 . . .

If you enjoy or not enjoy my blog, you can leave a comment at the end. It is very easy.

Remember, a left mouse clock will show a larger image.

About five years ago, I was speaking to the Northern California Daylily Society when a lady came up and introduced herself as Marilyn Morss Johnson, the twin sister of Mort Morss. When meeting her, I knew they had to be twins, because she was just as nice as Mort. Well, I have been fortunate enough to be able to grow the flower H. 'Marilyn Morss Johnson' this year in the greenhouse and see it bloom and use it's pollen. It has an eye pattern that I am hoping will carry through to some of the seeds that I am making. Mort has to be very proud of this introduction. The image is shared by David and Mort.
Here is an enlargement of the eye pattern.

Our 2010 introduction of H. 'Rober W. Carr' is blooming and looks much like it does outside. The majority of the time, a greenhouse flower will not be as good as one grown outside. It shows it's delicate pink coloration along with the yellow bubbly edge with a yellow throat to match the edge. It does carry the sculpting gene and shows up in many of it's seedlings. A very pretty flower to honor my friend Dr. Bob Carr.

One of the seedlings from H. 'Robert W. Carr' is seedling No. 9046 which has H. 'Some Sweet Day' as the pollen parent and is shown to the left. The seedling has a patterned eye and shows a lot of blue/gray in it, and is being used extensively in our breeding this spring. If you look closely, it has a triple edge, one of them repeating the eye color. Size is about 6" Here is No. 9046.

Another seedling blooming is No. 9058 (Judy Farquar X Belle Cook). I have shown these parents in earlier blogs. The color is very bright and shows a large patterned eye that encompases most of the flower. A double edge highlights this flower. Here is 9058.

When the group visited last weekend, I caught a lot of flack for one flower that was blooming. It was H. Free Wheelin' introduced by Pat Stamile. Most of you know I am a bagel person so why the UF? Well, I had been drinking wine one night and someone said, "Let's make a trade." I said, "Sure." I didn't pay much attention to it but you can imagine my fear of visitors when I saw this flower bloom. Here it is. I have no idea on earth what to do with it!

Yesterday, I bit the bullet and purchased a 42" tiller for the back of our Kubota garden tractor that we mow the yard with. I finally got tired of the rough tilling that the John Deere does. If this works well for me, then I plan to purchase a front end loader for the Kubota, then sell the John Deere. A front end loader is a must that really saves on my back. If this happens, I will be sad to see it go because I have had some type of John Deere lawn or garden tractor since 1968. They used to be the best tractor made, now they are all made in China!

Greenhouse Bloom 9 . . .

Remember, left click on an image for a larger view.

The greenhouse is probably at peak right now if it is possible to determine that. Two of the cultivars blooming are from my friend, Bill Waldrop of Kennesaw Mountain Daylilies in Marietta, GA. The first has been a favorite of mine the last couple years that I have grown it, H. 'Kennesaw Mountain Hayride' 27" SEv. It could be a little taller, but when you look at that magnificent flower, height is the last thing you think of. I am using Bill's image because I could not find mine on my computer.

Bill's second flower to bloom was H. 'Emerald Lace' another 27" tall cultivar. The green edge is what sets this flower off from all others. Bill believes this flower will produce magnificent green edged kids, which is what I am using it for. This is my image and you can see it is missing the pollen.

One of the seedlings to bloom, No. 0753, is a cross of H. 'Mandalay Bay Music' (top left) (Jeff Salter) X H. 'Wonders Never Cease' (bottom left) (Bob Carr). As you can see, it has that "bagel" form that I prefer, along with great substance. The color is nice and clear. About a 5½ flower. Image is shown below. I like the bold yellow throat which ends in a green heart. A little sculpting is evident which increases in hot weather.

I keep thinking that I will stop my hybridizing in the greenhouse because I already have more seeds that I will be able to plant, however, when I walk in in the morning, I see something and think, I need to put such and such on that and WOW will it make nice kids. Oh well, it is better to have too many than not enough like last year.

Life is very, very good.

Visitors & Greenhouse Bloom 8 . . .

Remember, for a larger picture, left click on the image.

 The Tennessee Valley Daylily Society met on Saturday, April 10 with our featured speakers, Herbie and Gale Phelps of Kentucky. They presented an overview of their hybridizing program which all agreed was outstanding. After the meeting, we had visitors to view the bloom in the greenhouse.
Among those visiting were (L to R) Herbie and Gale Phelps, Kentucky; Linda and Sam Hassler, Crossville, TN; and Karen and Steve Newman, Delano, TN. I would guess that in another week the greenhouse will be at peak bloom. I believe I already have enough pods set to supply my seed needs for a couple years . . . at least. Unlike last year, seed set has been rather easy this year.

One of the outstanding seedlings to bloom today is a cross of H. 'Mandalay Bay Music' (Salter 2001 - left bottom) X H. 'Some Sweet Day' (Stamile 2006 - left upper). The resulting seedling, No. 9060 is shown below (large image).

Although it does not show a lot in this picture, there is a lot of blue in the eye and edge. A real stunner!

There have been several seedlings to bloom from a cross of H. 'Awesome Bob' X H. 'Larry Allen Miller'. Images of these two can be found on earlier blogs. Here are some that I think are pretty good.
Seedling No. 8167
Seedling No. 8176

Seedling No. 8163

 Seedling No. 8170
It is amazing the variety you can get from one set of parents. You can also see that you do not have to have the latest and greatest to get some amazing flowers.

I wanted to add one more image taken at the Iowa Pollen Dabber's meeting in Marshalltown, IA on March 26 and 27, 2010. This is the largest group that ever attended this meeting. I think there were around 45 people. As you can see, the daylily brings friends together. Photo by Kyle Billadeau.

Visitor & Greenhouse Bloom 7 . . .

Today was a glorious day! We received about ¾" of rain this morning. It seems as though we have had a lot of rain this spring, but the weather men (and ladies) say we are about 6" behind. Doesn't seem possible. I will have to wait 4 or 5 days before I can till in the garden again. After the rain this morning, I took the above picture of the Red Bud tree in the front of our house. I believe it is now about 15 years old as we planted it early on when we moved here.

Another special treat today was a visit from Bill Waldrop of Kinnesaw Mountain Daylilies in Marietta, GA. We had a great time talking daylilies and time got away from us so we decided to continue our conversation over lunch. Jean took this picture of Bill and me.

I am guessing that by next week I will be at peak bloom in the greenhouse. One of the seedlings that Bill spotted today was Seedling No. 9080, a cross of H. 'Fringe Benefit (no image) as the pod parent and our H. 'Horny Devil' (left) as the pollen Parent. No. 9080 is shown below.

One of the named varieties that caught Bill's eye was H. 'Bluegrass Memories' a 2008 introduction by Ted Preuss of Mississippi. This is a picture taken in the greenhouse this morning which does not show the true blue color of the eye. (I apologize to Ted for the incorrect name when I first put this on the blog. The above is correct).

Another day that would not have been possible if it were not for the friendships formed through daylilies

Life is very, very good.

Israeli occupation security services abducted in January 520 Palestinians in West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, including 92 children, 15 women and three girls.

Palestine Prisoners’ Centre said in a report issued on Friday that 18 of the Palestinians abducted in January are from Gaza, including six fishermen abducted while fishing off the Gaza coast.

Riyadh al-Ashqar, a researcher in the centre, said that the youngest Palestinian abducted in January was Said Sukkar, 11 years old.

He also said that this number included three children abducted while they were wounded and named them as Ahmed Zagzoug, 14, Mohamed al-Hajj, 15, and Ahmed Shalaldeh, 16.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation abducted 15 women and three girls and three sisters. The youngest girl was Sara Shamasneh, 14 years old.

There are currently about 6,500 Palestinians inside Israeli jails, including 350 children, 57 women and girls, 400 patients and more than 400 others under administrative detention.

I'm convinced Kristen is the biggest evil genius of all time.

And, at least Brady isn't as gullible as Ethan? He could still beat him in a game of wits.

Chad is really p*ssing me off. Can someone throw him in a secret room? Please??

Did I mention Kristen's awesome? ;)

Overall I'm finding the show MUCH more enjoyable than it was under MarDar or Higley. The cast interacts with one another much better, their are far fewer missed opportunities (besides the whole Kristen's dead thing, still annoyed about that one), and it's not an EJ-Sami-Rafe day every single freaking day of the week. IMHO, this is as good as Days has been since 2006/early 2007.

Wood and Beams - Day 21

The wood got delivered yesterday and support beams installed. Better than nothing.

Waterproofing inspection now passed, basement slab passed, and garage slab scheduled for April 2nd...   Apparently they need to installed an "Engineered slab" and that takes longer to prepare.

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

Fwd: Ready to Inspect - Day 19... Still stalled.

Day 19 started out looking good.  I stopped over on my way to work and took a bunch of photos.   The waterproofing looked good and both inspections (waterproofing and slab) were scheduled for today.

Got home from work.  Checked the permit logs, and more bad news.

Starting to get a little nervous...

Tuesday, March 27, 2012

Day 16 - footers and basement walls

I have been out of town all week, but our Sales Rep sent these to me on day 16.

Footers are finally in and walls poured.

Tomorrow will be day 19 and the waterproofing/slab inspections are scheduled. Hopefully all goes well. Obviously I will check it out first thing in the morning. I hate being away when progress is going on finally.

Saturday, March 17, 2012

Waiting for Footers... Still. Day 8

I was out of town all week, so I couldn't follow the progress, which was probably good -- because there wasn't any.  I guess technically there was a little progress.  They prepped for the footers and laid a bunch of gravel.

...and then they ran into permit trouble.   Short version of the story is that a year ago they filed similar plans on our lot but the buyer backed out.   The RH tried to just file a permit extension and plan amendment (to avoid some of the permit costs I'm assuming).   At our Pre-Con meeting I brought this up and was assured the permit was good to go.   I knew it wasn't, but I am trying to bite my tongue on some things and not micro-manage the professionals (honestly, I'm trying, and this is hard for me).  Turns out I was right.

Some of the county's comments on the permit history are funny.
3.12.12 This plan change is rather extensive, changing all sheets. This will be processed as a major plan change. The fee for a major plan change is half of the previously paid fee. We will let you know how much that is when it is ready to pick up. I need revised truss engineering and a revised energy analysis in duplicate to go with these plans.
3.16.12 Apparently the home is supposed to have brick all around but the plans call for brick front only. Submit revised revisions. Called Mellanie
3.16.12 Revised plans showing additional brick; total plan change
In the end it cost them $550 anyway, and a week of progress.  PM called me Friday morning and told me the whole deal and said they are on schedule to pour on Monday if they get the permit Friday (they did).    Secretly I'm sort of happy though.   One, it proved I am on top of  this build and they know I am going to check and catch every little thing -- and two, I would have been out of town during framing which really bugged me, but now I will be home.

I should clarify that I do like and trust our PM so far, and don't really blame him for this one.  Technically permits are his responsibility, but RH has people that handle permits and that make sure they are filed properly, and they dropped the ball on this one.    You have to wonder how it is worth it though.   The labor to fix this mess has to be a lot more than the $500 they were trying to save.

Does anybody know what those square's are in the basement floor?  My guess on the small ones in the middle are Support Poles and the Sump Pump pit, but I'm not sure what the other one under the morning room is for.   Seems about the same size as the the sump pit.

This is why they install Sump Pumps... Day 2

I stopped by today to see if they finished digging yet (20% left maybe...) and there is definitely some ground water.  It rained about 1" the day before they dug (day 0), but nothing overnight.

This will all get picked up by the drainage under the foundation and pumped out by the sump pump, but this convinced me to get a inline 2nd pump and battery backup.    Interesting how the half of the hole near the driveway is very dry though.

See the trace amount yesterday (lower left corner)
Today there was a bunch more

...And They're Off... Day 1

Well,   rain delayed them a day, but today the heavy equipment was out digging basically on schedule.   Honestly it was a little less exciting than I had expected.

Our PM had called me this morning with a heads up, so I stopped by after work to take some quick photos.   He mentioned that they determined the slope of our yard was going to be 6%, which he said was almost flat but still enough to drain.  This was one thing I hadn't thought of --  some yards apparently need a much more severe slope to properly drain.

And the digging has begun
Construction Driveway
Side view of our corner lot with the neighbor in the background
Closeup of "Our Hole"
I snapped a photo of the next door neighbor (no bricks yet) and the across street neighbor (courtland that just got bricked)

One last thing to mention.   PM said framing will begin 3 weeks from yesterday -- which is perfect.  I will be out of town most of the next 3 weeks and it would kill me to miss the walls and roof going up.

You oughta know

Photo courtesy of Equinox / Chef Todd Gray

The great state of Alaska has given DC more to talk about than Sarah Palin. October Marks Alaska Wild Salmon Month in DC, and chefs and restaurants are helping Trout Unlimited promote and protect Alaska's Bristol Bay, in an effort to spotlight the Bay's wild salmon and the risks they face from the proposed Pebble mine, the world’s largest open-pit gold and copper mine. The proposed Pebble mine threatens to pollute the pristine habitat of this iconic watershed which produces the world’s largest sockeye salmon run.

As part of Alaska Wild Salmon Month, a number of prominent D.C.-area restaurants will feature Bristol Bay salmon on their menus throughout October. Wild sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay, Alaska, are one of the tastiest, most plentiful and yet threatened fish on the planet. Tens of millions of ruby-red sockeye salmon return from the Pacific Ocean to their natal rivers in the wilds of Southwest Alaska each summer, to the same place where mining companies are planning to build one of the world’s largest open-pit gold and copper mines.

During the week of Oct. 19-23, Trout Unlimited will host several Bristol Bay wild salmon events in Washington, D.C. to celebrate Alaska Wild Salmon Month, including the Red Gold Screening and Panel Discussion on October, 22, 2009, from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the National Geographic Society (1145 17th Street NW, Washington, D.C., 20036).

Participating restaurants include:

Blue Ridge Restaurant
Bon Appetit Management Co. cafes & restaurants
Coppi's Organic Restaurant
Equinox Restaurant
Granville Moore's
Harry's Tap Room
Hook Restaurant
Kaz Sushi Bistro
Poste Moderne Brasserie
Provence Cafe and Market (Bridgeport, WV)
Redwood Restaurant and Bar
Rock Creek Mazza
Singapore Bistro

Religion vs. Christianity

I feel like I may make some people angry with this post, so we'll see how it goes..

I often tell people that I hate religion and almost every time, people retort "Ha, yeah right Ashley. You're probably the most religious person I know". I try not to let that get to me, because I know they see religion differently than I do. But really, I hate that response.

To be part of a religion means that you believe or follow a particular system of faith. A system is "a set of procedures according to which something is done". It's more about the procedures. Sort of like a check list of sorts.

  • Am I going to church?
  • Am I involved in the church?
  • Am I a "good person"?
  • Do I help people?
  • Do I know church songs?
  • Do I dress appropriately?
  • Do I believe in a god?
It's like if we answer "yes" to all of those things, then we're good to go. I think that this is the start to lazy Christianity. I'm not saying that none of those things are good. In fact, they are all good and I would hope that Christ followers can answer "yes" to most, if not all, of those. But we don't end there. There is more.

The God that I believe in isn't a god made from humans, dependent on us, needing anything from us. In every other religion, it seems to be about humans trying to connect with God. Humans making sacrifices, humans being "good", humans trying to make a god love them. In Christianity, it's the other way around. It's about God trying to connect with humans. It's about God making the ultimate sacrifice. It's about God sending His son to die for them so that they may be saved. It's about a God who loves people and trying to bring them back.

To go beyond that, many people get caught into a trap. Here are some common mistakes about religion, specifically Christianity:
  1. It's inherited
    1. John 3:3-6
    2. Just because you grew up in the church or your parents are Christians doesn't mean you are
    3. It's not about who you are or where you're from.
  2. It's just a belief
    1. Easy to say you believe in something because that doesn't require much change or action
    2. Actions need to match words, or words don't mean much.
    3. James 2:14-16
    4. 2 Corinthians 5:17
  3. It's just an action
    1. You're not a Christian just because you don't drink, smoke, swear, etc.
    2. It's not just about doing
      1. It's about believing and doing
    3. John 3:16--belief of Jesus must be there
  4. It's about perfection
    1. There seems to be a myth that once you're a Christian, you have to be perfect.
    2. If we could be perfect, there would be not reason for Jesus.
    3. Romans 5:8
In essence, Christianity isn't about us. It's not about what we can do or what we have done or where we came from or anything like that. It's all about Jesus. It's about Him dying for us and loving us.

"We are not religious people who have it all together, rather we are people who are desperately loved by Jesus and were radically transformed by Him."

You see the greatest lie every told is that the Christian life is boring. It’s meant only for old people who want to try to get into Heaven or for the whack job who doesn’t have the mental fortitude to muddle through their difficulties. If that’s what Christianity is I wonder what Bible I’ve been reading…I must have some how got the unrated version where men and women live passionately, fight zealously, and die without regrets (recognizing they will never die). Or maybe we’ve just been blinded for so long we’d rather settle for lies than grasp the Truth. (Found on:

(Last updated July 26, 2017 -  Part 1Part 2 and Part 3)

Welcome! This post for young readers is about how the first Ruby Rose picture book was created.

First, author Rob Sanders started with a character.

He tried lots of characters and wrote lots of stories, looking for one "who was fresh and new, who had an endearing personality, and who possessed a unique character trait." He finally got inspired when he spent a week at the beach with his sister and her family. He saw how his great-niece Madi loved to dance (read the full story in this interview with Rob Sanders), and he was inspired to develop the character who would become Ruby Rose.

The author's great-niece, Madi.

Next, Rob wrote the story.

After polishing his story, Rob sent it to his agent. He and the agent polished the story even more. When the story was ready, they sent it off to HarperCollins. The editor loved it! There were just a few changes that had to be made, but meanwhile...

The publisher looked for an illustrator.

The publisher "auditioned" illustrators and ended up choosing Debbie Ridpath Ohi. Here is one of the pieces that Debbie sent (through her agent) for the audition after reading Rob's story:

Debbie was THRILLED when she found out that she had been chosen for the project!

Next, Debbie read through the manuscript many times.

Before starting any sketches, Debbie read Rob's story over and over again. She asked the editor and art director about the format and number of pages:

Notice that the title has changed from this draft, as well as the teacher's name.

Debbie took more notes, and she started to see how the text could be split up into different pages in the picture book that she would illustrate:

Observant readers may notice that the date on the printout above is a YEAR after the previous (!). That's because Debbie had other book projects she had to finish before starting work on Ruby Rose. She was grateful that HarperCollins was willing to wait.

Next, it was time to start sketching!

Continued in Part 2.

The Displays - Ain't Gonna Put Us Down

The Displays – Ain't Gonna Put Us Down

Highly versed in the school of classic Detroit rock and the city's latter-day garage glory, bassist/singer Andrew Hecker, with drummer Josh Cohen (and help on-record from Sights guitarist/singer Eddie Baranek and the board skills of Jim Diamond) has formed a fast, high-flying parcel of hard-hitting swinging grit, wavy guitar hooks delivered in that golden gut-punch-feedback style with insuppressibly swing-able rhythms and a surprisingly soulful, confident gravely howl coming from Hecker's 16-year-old frame.

The scope is ambitious, drawing as much from mid-60's spilled-out-spastic garage to 70's blues to 90's classic rock revival; the whirled rollickin swagger never slows down, complimented with Baranek's characteristic devastating solos. A commendable debut full-length -

Frank McCourt-$131,000,000.00 Not enough says his wife!!

Photo Jaime McCourt

The ex-wife of former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt claims her $131 million divorce settlement is not enough. Not nearly enough.

A judge in Los Angeles County Superior Court will hear closing arguments today in the divorce dispute.

Last year, McCourt agreed to a divorce settlement giving her $131 million plus a tax indemnity and splitting her residential real estate with her husband.

While McCourt believed she was receiving half of the assets she shared with her husband, only two weeks later, the Dodgers were sold for $2.15 billion to a group that included former Los Angeles Lakers player Magic Johnson. It was the most paid ever for a professional sports team.

“I was surprised I could have made such a huge mistake,” she said in her court testimony last week. Her attorneys have argued she was short-changed about $770 million.

In her legal complaint to quash the divorce settlement, she accuses her ex-husband of fraud, failure to make required disclosures, perjury, undue influence, and breach of fiduciary duty, among other actions.

Neither of the McCourts could be reached for comment. Their attorneys did not respond to requests for comment.

The McCourts met at Georgetown University and were married on Nov. 3, 1979. Frank McCourt is president of McCourt Group, a commercial real estate development firm.

They have been residents of California since 2004, when the couple acquired the Dodgers and its related assets, which were the McCourts’ principal assets. Their assets included “the entities owning the Los Angeles Dodgers, Dodgers Stadium and its vast parking lots, the television rights to Dodger baseball games, and approximately 276 acres of real estate in the area of Dodger Stadium.”

“Before the separation, Jamie played a significant role in the Dodger organization, but not in significant financial dealings,” according to her court complaint to withdraw the divorce settlement.

Jamie was once president and CEO of the baseball team.

On the other hand, her ex-husband “controlled and had access to the complex financial information required to evaluate the Dodger assets,” Jamie’s complaint states.

According to her complaint, in 2004 he told her the market value of the Dodger assets could be as much as $2 billion.

In Oct. 2009, Jamie filed divorce papers. The marriage was dissolved a year later. In June 2011, the Dodgers filed for bankruptcy protection. The team later emerged from bankruptcy after the sale last year to Guggenheim Baseball Management.

After the divorce ensued, Frank denied his earlier statements that the Dodgers could be worth $2 billion. Instead, he said their “assets had a current value less than $300 million…” according to her complaint.

Before Jamie agreed to the settlement, she believed, “based on what Frank represented,” that the net value of their assets, including the Dodger assets, was “in the range of $300 million.”

Frank McCourt’s attorneys have argued that his ex-wife failed to do her due diligence, the Associated Press reported. One of his attorneys said Frank paid more than $460 million in state and federal taxes related to the sale of the Dodgers.

Jamie’s complaint states that as “designated control person” for the Dodgers, he “fired” her, and “from that point forward, he completely excluded her from every aspect of management…”

My life is very monotonous...

Thus, I have to sleep with my pinky dolly every night. Too bad, I can't even hug her to sleep as she is not big enough to be hugged. I can't sleep with her being placed too close to me too because, I may squashed her!

Eew... I cannot imagine a life without her!

At least when my life is monotonous, I have a friend, an imaginary friend.

Update again, soon, alright - I've literally ran out of idea on what to blog because I haven't been doing anything special or crazy or interesting, hence, nothing much to share too.

Yes, no make-up tutorials or pictures or even cravings about Tsubasa too.

Hey, this is what monotonous life is all about, okay?!

I so feel like wanting to go to Seapark eat a plate of their infamous nasi lemak also cannot. Need to keep fit and no transport to go there.

So, nights!

An unexpected visit from Trite planiceps

While I work away at my Big Painting I periodically take a swig of water.
Luckily one day last week I noticed this handsome jumping spider sitting on the rim of my glass in time. He was regarding me intently with his wonderful jet-black eyes. Perhaps he thought some other colour would have been better instead of the one I'd chosen for my illustrated 'O'.

After a good explore around my water bottle and paint-tubes, he obviously decided the opportunities for prey were low, and headed off to investigate the curtains.

Later when the PR photographer came to do the shots for the newspaper article (just thought I'd slip that in there), she was unaware of my earlier visitor. I didn't mention it. I know not everyone enjoys spiders as much as I do.

This is how I finished the 'O'. Do you like it? There's a Godwit trapped in there, and some kelp decorating the side. I hope the gold frame is not too OTT.

  1. "I know not everyone enjoys spiders as much as I do."
    No! Neither do I! :O
    Two hairy legs are bad enough!
    Four hairy legs sounds queer!
    Six hairy legs? Oh my God!
    Eight hairy legs - I fear!

  2. Looks splendid! But then anything with a Godwit in it.... I notice that it's a fairy tale. It has to be if the sun's always shining. A couple of years ago I'd have thought it could have been set in Hawkes Bay. That was then. This is now and a new reality has set in.

    The photographer has captured your smile rather well I thought.

    On the subject of spiders and drinks I'm always careful with my bedside glass of water in the middle of the night after once discovering a dead creature in it.

  3. The "O" is super Katherine - as if from an illuminated Anglo Saxon manuscript but with a modern twist. Who's that young lady smiling into the camera? Spiderwoman?

  4. Bernard and GB - sorry to give you the heebie-geebies! Cute poem Bernard.
    GB, I had forgotten about your glass episode. This post may have been too close for comfort! Sorry!

    GB and YP - Thank you. Yes, I was hoping to get the fairy story idea over. Actually it's a true-ish* story with my own embellishments, both literally and metaphorically.

    * as true as any story can be from our colonial past, and told from one 'side'.

    1. Made up on the spot! :)

    2. No, really!? Aren't you clever!

  5. Love the "O" and I agree with YP about the photo.

  6. PS. I'd be afraid that your jumping spider would jump on me from the curtains!! UGH !

  7. Thanks Helsie. And thanks for being brave enough for even reading this post!

  8. the spider's giving me the heebie-geebies but the illustration is simply divine! Very pretty indeed.

  9. A "handsome" spider with "wonderful" jet black eyes? Please don't try and kiss it, it's not a frog. I admire people who can see beauty in all living things but for me its a spider and my primordal flight and fight instincts work overtime when I see them - usually with a negative outcomes for the spider. Spiders did get rehabilitated in my mind after I had read the story 'Charlottes Web' to a class of children, in fact for a while I positively felt positive towards them - but it didn't last long - spiders are well.... spiders.

  10. Sorry Fox and Alden. I guess my attempts at spider-human public relations didn't work with you two either.

    The story of Gilbert Mair and the Godwits is probably going to be the most popular in the exhibition, I think.

  11. do you go and welcome the Godwits? We have a small group of Godwit watches up here in Omaha.

Warehouse Storage Space – How Much Do You Need?

Warehouse storage space: how much space you will need to occupy is one of the main considerations when approaching storage facilities to support your storage and distribution requirements. While the storage company is likely to support you in this, it helps to have a rough idea before you go ahead.

When considering the warehouse storage, you will first need to consider what it is you are storing and how it will be packed. Will you be storing individual boxes or cartons, or will your goods arrive on pallets, and be stored as they are? You need to consider how many pallets you will need to have space for, how high they can be safely stacked and the size of the pallets in question. While a standard pallet is 48” by 40”, not all pallets conform to these measurements. When identifying the warehouse storage solutions that best benefits you, it is important to know the maximum number of pallets or cartons you will need space for, as well as having an idea how often you will need to utilise that amount of space. However, space requirement is not just about numbers. You also need to consider the type of goods that are going to be stored. Do any of the good require specialist storage? Will any of your pallets contain goods that cannot be stacked? These are questions that the facility will need answers to before space can be provided and an agreement reached.

At Depot Dash Ltd, we provide complete flexibility in warehouse storage space. We can cater for long-term, short-term and seasonal storage needs. We also recognise that your space and storage requirements can change over time, sometimes with little warning. To see what we can offer you in this respect, visit http://depotdash.com/.

An online hub for Female Entrepreneurs

Design a Life + Business you love with Amy Mackenzie

Hi Boss Babes.

So you want to know who is the girl behind designing her life? What’s her story, how did she become a life coach for female entrepreneurs + why?

Well lady love, grab yourself a cuppa + let’s sit on the corner of awesome + bombdiggity for awhile…

{Oh and by the way, I’m Amy, the founder of Designing her Life}.

Designing my own Life

As most things, it begins with a story.

A story of a girl who had to learn the hard way.

I had always believed I was meant for more, questioning everything + letting my imagination run wild, however as I grew up, I started to believe I had really bad luck + that even though I thought I was a good person, life was always going to be really hard for me.

From a very intense, religious childhood until age 10 to the complete opposite through my teenage years with one parent a compulsive gambler and the other an alcoholic, it is easy to see where this way of thinking began. Flash forward through years of struggle + dramatic experiences to having a car accident at age 19 + developing chronic pain syndrome (basically my central nervous system tells my brain that im in pain 24 hours a day, 7 days a week + has for the last 9 years).

I thought I had proved this way of thinking correct. I continued this thinking for almost another 5 years, struggling with severe depression + anxiety.

The pain and suffering consumed me + the life I had once dreamt of + worked so hard to create was well + truly gone. I couldn’t understand why + every day I lost a little more of myself until one day I gave up.

But life had other plans for me. Waking up in a hospital bed still alive, was the turning point for me. I stopped looking externally and for the first time looked inwards.

I let go of the life I thought I was supposed to have + decided to create an even better one. I stopped blaming others + my circumstances + owned the part that I played in my own life. I realised that I couldn’t control everything that happens to me but I could control how I reacted to it + how much I let it impact my choices + experiences. I made a choice to stop trying to control the pain + started trying to love myself just as I was.

That belief that I was here for a purpose was reignited + I started my journey of self love, soul searching and dream chasing. I started to read self development + inspirational books, surround myself with people who believed in + supported me. I began working out + nourishing my body. I saw therapists + healers to help me do the internal work.

I took back my power, in a way that only us as individuals can, with every step taken my life started to change, I did the emotional, physical, mental + spiritual work + continue to.

Designing her Life

So how did I go from doing the work to becoming an entrepreneur?

My journey into becoming a life coach + starting my own business was more of a ‘following the breadcrumbs’ kind of thing, wanting to help people + make a difference in the world. Using my own experiences to create change.

After years of working for other people (I had my first job when I was just turning 13 at a nut shop), trying a huge range of occupations including retail manager, beauty therapist + gym receptionist, I still felt that there was something more meaningful for me to be doing with my life. A way to make sense of my past + success for my future.

Designing her life began as an inspirational outlet on social media on July 1st 2014, a space to share quotes, stories + inspire others along the way. Quite quickly I decided to turn it into a blog too + enrolled in Bright-eyed Blog-hearted, which lead me down the path of building a website + starting to imagine what could be possible.

And so in 2015 I decided to take the leap + study to become a life coach with Beautiful You Coaching Academy + start my own business. Fast forward to now, 2017 + I am blessed to have coached + mentored countless inspired entrepreneurs + girl bosses from all around the world + have a growing business that feels more on purpose then I ever have before.

Why Female Entrepreneurs?

As I was beginning my own journey of entrepreneurship + connecting with so many likeminded, passionate women who were also creating their own business or dreaming of bringing a passion project to life, I started to notice a few similarities + was feeling called to really help these women achieve their dreams.

I realised that those of us who are stepping up, answering the call for more + wanting to create change in the world, are also the ones who are shining a light on our own self development too.

All of a sudden our fears feel bigger, self doubt gets louder, our confidence can waiver + before you know what’s happened, you’ve been derailed from your dreams + are struggling to move forwards.

I also noticed that there were a lot of coaches + resources out there for the more practical side of business but not so much the emotional side. This is what excited me + felt really right for me as a coach. Having been through it myself + continuing to go through it as I build my own business, I saw an opportunity to support other girl bosses, change makers + women in biz through the emotional journey of being an entrepreneur. With the big vision that, in turn together we are creating a world of strong, confident, self loving women whose own work is creating change.

In other words my coaching + business is based on helping other women in business, fulfill their purpose, having a flow on effect on how women are able to show up in the world.

Oh and why women?

Because I truly believe in the power of women. The force of a woman determined to rise. The beauty of when the feminine + masculine collide.

“There is no force equal to a woman determined to rise.”

– W.E.B Dubois

A few Amy must knows

Deliverance in the Kali Yuga

 The Kalki Avatar

The most diverse traditions agree that the best support for concentration and the best means to obtain Deliverance at the end of the Kali-Yuga is the invocation of a revealed divine Name, one that is destined by the Revelation itself for japa. Consequently, when I speak of 'concentration on the Real', I am thinking of japa.

- Frithjof Schuon, A Sufi Master

In the Kaliyuga the path of devotion prescribed by Narada is best ... According to Narada the devotee should sing the name and glories of God.

- Sri Ramakrishna, A Hindu Master

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, only the Naam, the Name of the Lord, shall be of any real use to you.

- Sri Guru Granth Sahib

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

- The Book of Joel 2:31-32

That which is obtained by meditation in the age of Krita, by sacrifice in the age of Treta, by devotion in the age of Dwapara, is obtained in the Kali age by celebrating Keshava (Vishnu). The repetition of His Name, Oh Maitreya, is for faults the equivalent of fire for metals. Water suffices to put out fire, the sunrise to disperse the darkness - in the Kali age the repetition of the Name of Hari (Vishnu) suffices to destroy all errors.

- Vishnu-Dharma-Uttara

In the present age, which belongs to the fourth half-millennium after Buddha, what we have to do is to repent of our transgressions, cultivate the virtues and the Name of Buddha. Is it not said that to think of the Buddha Amitabha and to pronounce His Name purifies us of all transgressions committed by us in all our lives during eighty thousand million kalpas? The faithful one (the initiated) must utter without interruption the Name of Buddha with one sole thought, leaving no room in his mind for anything else, and he is then sure to be re-born in the presence of Buddha.

-Tao-Ch'o, a Chinese Master

Because beings endowed with sensible faculties meet many obstacles in their road, and the world in which they live is full of subtle temptations: because (in the 'present age' or 'latter days', and above all as the end of this epoch is approached) their thoughts are too perplexed, their intelligence too clumsy and their minds too distraught . . . Taking pity on them, Buddha counsels them to concentrate on the recitation of His Name, for when it is practised without interruption the faithful one is certain to be re-born in the Land of Amida

- Shan-Tao, a Chinese Master

Tutorial – BDD and Dependency Injection in .Net (1)

This tutorial focuses on Behaviour Driven Development, Dependency Injection and application design in general. The primary technologies being used will be SpecFlow and MS Test. While we are targeting the .Net platform the content is applicable to most object oriented languages.

A Brief Introduction to Behaviour Driven Development

Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) is an ‘outside in’ or ‘top down’ development approach. Development starts from the user interface downwards as opposed to starting with the database design.  When there is no user interface (as in the beginning of this tutorial) we work from the highest level possible.

BDD encourages thin slices of work. Where we break features down into very small ‘end-to-end’ pieces of work. This work is expressed in the form of examples. This is known as specification by example and we will see this in the tutorial.

In SpecFlow speak, each example is known as a scenario. We need to implement a number of scenarios before the feature is considered complete. We will flesh out the design as we implement each scenario.

The following diagram from The RSpec Book shows the BDD cycle:

BDD Cycle

As depicted, there are two levels of testing – high level system or integration tests and lower level unit testing. The high level tests often drive a user interface and may be referred to as automated acceptance tests.

Not only will we be following the BDD cycle, but we will only implement the code we need to make the existing tests pass – and no more. We will be very strict with this. This may seem tedious to some however this approach is good to practice. You can always fall back to this approach should you become stuck when writing production code.

Interestingly TDD was always meant to have multiple levels of testing. In Extreme Programming Explained, Kent Beck and Cynthia Andres have the following to say about architects: “Architects on an XP team look for and execute large-scale refactorings, write system-level tests that stress the architecture, and implement stories”. This is similar to what we are trying to achieve in BDD. In fact Dan North introduced the term BDD to help him explain TDD to developers. This is why I say that BDD is TDD done properly.

These days it is common to hear teams say they are doing “TDD but not BDD”. By this they sometimes mean that they are writing system tests and unit tets, but they are not using a “BDD testing framework” like Cucumber or FitNesse. There is nothing wrong with this approach. Sometimes “we do TDD but not BDD’ means that the team members are not writing system level integration tests. This is better than no tests at all, however it is not true TDD and they are missing a trick.

A Brief Introduction to Dependency Injection

James Shaw does a great job of explaining Dependency Injection (DI). He points out that “Dependency Injection means giving an object its instance variables”. The instance variables are typically reference types which provide a layer of abstraction. We can give an object it’s instance variables through a number of different ways namely constructor injection, property injection, method injection.

There are many reasons for using Dependency Injection. The most obvious reason is that it makes the code more testable. It makes it easy to use mock objects in place of the real dependencies during testing. Testability is not the only reason, when done properly code which uses dependency injection tends to support the SOLID design principles, most notably the Single responsibility principle and Open/closed principle. This will be shown in the tutorial.

Dependency Injection is a simple concept, the confusion seems arise when Dependency Injection containers enter the discussion. For this reason I will not use DI Containers for the first few parts of this tutorial. All I will say is that DI Containers may help when composing objects, however they are not required to implement the dependency injection pattern.
