TIMES TRIBUNE (CORBIN, Ky.)
By Ronnie Ellis / CNHI News Service
Most of the details won't become public until a federal judge rules on a revised guilty plea, but Monday the Executive Branch Ethics Committee approved the largest settlement in its history with former Republican Commissioner of Agriculture Richie Farmer.
Those details will be released, according to the commission's executive director, John Steffen, if the federal court approves Farmer's revised plea of guilty and a deal worked out among his attorney, federal and state prosecutors, and the ethics commission. A hearing on the revised plea is scheduled for Friday in federal court.
But Steffen said the settlement is the largest ever reached by the commission.
"Both in the number of counts and the amount of the penalty, it will be the largest we've seen at this agency — which is appropriate because it is by far the worst misconduct by a public servant that we've seen," Steffen said.
The commission also approved a settlement with Farmer's sister, Rhonda Monroe, who was charged with three ethics code violations for assisting Farmer in misreporting expenses on campaign finance reports. Because that settlement was not tied to any other investigation by other agencies, the commission released its details.
Farmer, 44, was charged with using campaign contributions for personal use. Monroe at the time worked for the Registry of Election Finance, which monitors campaign finance.
Steffen said Monroe "admitted to all three violations and has agreed to pay a $6,000 penalty for her actions and she's already lost her job, of course, as well."
Last Thursday, Farmer's attorney, Guthrie True, announced that Farmer had reached a settlement involving all the charges against him by federal and state prosecutors as well as the ethics commission. According to True's press release, Farmer has agreed to pay a fine or fines of $120,500 and will plead guilty to two of five federal counts and to one state count.
True said Farmer is expected to be sentenced to between 21 and 27 months on the federal charges. Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway later said the state is asking that Farmer be sentenced to one year on the state charge but has agreed to allow Farmer to serve the one-year sentence concurrently with his federal time.
At the time, Conway also said Monroe will be sentenced to a one-year sentence which will be probated over two years — and thus won't spend time in prison.
The Ethics Commission settlement — if the federal court approves Farmer's revised plea and deal — resolves 42 counts of ethics violations against Farmer, the most ever lodged against a Kentucky public official.
This week is likely to bring to a close the celebrated public career of a basketball hero who was once considered a potential candidate for governor.
Farmer was an iconic high school basketball player at Clay County and a beloved University of Kentucky player who rode his athletic fame into election as Kentucky commissioner of agriculture and then a place on the 2011 Republican gubernatorial ticket with David Williams.
Williams and Farmer lost the 2011 election to Democratic Gov. Steve Besehar and Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson. A few months after the campaign, his successor as agriculture commissioner, Republican James Comer, asked for an audit of the department during Farmer's administration.
Democratic Auditor Adam Edelen's scathing report indicated Farmer hired friends and girlfriends who performed little real work; used department funds and staff for personal use; and the improper use of grant funds.
Farmer was subsequently indicted by federal prosecutors on four counts of misappropriating funds and one of soliciting property in exchange for government grants. Each count carried a possible sentence of 10 years and a $250,000 fine and prosecutors also sought $450,000 in restitution. A federal trial date of Oct. 22 had been set for Farmer.
Steffen said Monday his staff of one part-time investigator and one attorney had been investigating Farmer's administration of the Agriculture Department since the fall of 2011 and later assisted the Conway's and the FBI's investigations.
Farmer played in three high school state championship games, winning one and scoring 51 points in another. He went on to become a member of a beloved University of Kentucky team — dubbed the "Unforgettables" for leading UK out of an NCAA imposed probation and losing to Duke in over time in the 1992 NCAA East Regional finals, considered by many to be the greatest college game ever played.
Shortly after that game, Farmer's jersey — along with three teammates' — was hung from the rafters of Rupp Arena.
Steffen said Monday what Farmer did as an elected official doesn't take away from his earlier athletic accomplishments but should nonetheless serve as a reminder to others.
"I just see what he did as a public servant," Steffen said. "I know what he did was wrong, and it's something we need to try to eliminate in state government."

There are quite a few reviews for this recipe on this site already. However I felt inclined to put a review in since this particular listing of the recipe said there aren't any reviews and I'd hate to see anyone miss out on this wonderful, easy, and so kid friendly recipe. I measure, my kids mix and the best part is their getting to get all their fingers in there and smush them around in the dough. Then when it's time to bake them they once again get to literally dig their hands into it when they roll the dough into balls and roll them in the sugar. Then the very best part is when the cookies come out of the oven and they get to take all the kisses I made them unwrap (and not eat) and they get to push them down in the center of each cookie. They both feel like they are solely responsible for the wonderful treats they helped create! So if you are looking for a quick, easy, no-fool, recipe that you can let the entire family participate in making not just eating this one is one of the best!!!
These cookies are fantastic! When I finished mixing the batter I thought, what...no baking soda, baking powder or salt......NO FLOUR? But let me tell ya the ease of this recipe is notig cmpared to the great taste! I flattened mine out with a sugared bottom glass and bam! Awesome cookies. Oh, I also added 1 cup od dark chocolate chips. One thing you have to watch for is over baking. If you wait for them to turn golden brown, they are burnt on the bottom. They are a very light blonde almost when done. OH YUM!
Okay I had to try these because there was such a discrepancy between people's opinions. I thought they were great. Not a traditional cookie texture almost a cross between a peanut butter cookie and a peanut butter ball. DON'T overcook, the sugar is browning on the bottom and they are best when just barely done!

Centre ville de Beaulieu s/D – sketch
I haven't done urban sketching for quite some time. Since we have arrived here at our farm, Coin Perdu, I have mainly been doing plein air painting in the countryside or food sketches, which go with my foodblog, Myfrenchkitchen. I also mainly work on watercolor blocks, because I use a lot of water and pigment which mix directly on the paper and with a sketchbook, I have to wait quite a while before I can turn the page to do a new sketch. With the watercolor block I just ear off the paper, set it aside to dry and start a new sketch. Later I bind the sketches together. Funny thing is, people are more interested in buying the quick sketches than completed paintings, so in that sense a block works much better ( except for me, because being the total useless business person I am, I just give them away for free, thinking I can't possibly charge money for a sketch? Well, as long as it brings that person joy, then it is OK. But…somewhere I have to draw the line though…)
So, I will get back to making my own proper sketchbooks with Arches HP paper. I have also ordered a few new sketchbooks.
The sketch below was done this morning (on Arches watercolor block, HP) in the company of friends at the market, which I found quite distracting, not being used to sketching with all that buzz around me anymore. The old buildings in France are wonky by default and below my faulty perspective makes it even worse…but for the most part, I am quite happy with this sketch after such a long dry spell.

Dipladenia flowers in aquarelle.
We have a humid summer this year…hot and humid which isn't normal for us. One can clearly see the effect on us humans. Our energy gets sapped by the humidity and many a day I , who adores heat, feel like a limp fish on these mucky days. The Mediterranean plants even more so. These Dipladenias enjoy heat and dry summers , so too they struggle with the heavy humidity. With not their usual abundance of flowers, they still bloom and show off beautifully, quite different from me, who struggled to stay focused on my sketching with no blooming and showing off in sight.

My favorite perfumes in aquarelle.
When life trips me, I head to the perfume shelves. To indulge and forget for a while about the hardships of life. And I never leave without a tiny bottle of perfume. That is my biggest sin in life and I will gladly carry my punishment one day, should there be. I use a spritz of perfume every day everywhere…to town and to the opera, to do the washing to weed the garden, after my shower and before I drop my head on my pillow.
there is a secret to good spritzing. Do you remember the way Malan and Mamy used to dab their eau de cologne behind the ears, on the wrists…well, those were the old days. The French way to do it, is to spray a cloud of perfume in front of you in the air and then walk through it. No harsh , overwhelming, nose itching smells, but rather a gentle caress on the skin, interacting gently with the oils of the skin to bring forth the subtle underlying notes of the perfume.
..l'eau d'Issey by Issey Miake – light and soft for summer..
..Intense, by Dolce & Ganbbana- for those times I feel passionate and ..intense….
..baiser volé by Cartier – reminds me of Arabian nights…
..Coco by Chanel -my favorite perfume which always make me feel elegant , and brings out my French side!
So, come on ladies, spritz your perfume, time is too short not to!

Six apples and a sucrine in aquarelle.
In summer we don't eat apples. We munch on peaches and nectarines. Except the horses. They have their apples throughout the year. An apple is one of the most delicious subjects to draw and paint. For the experts it is a challenge to capture its real beauty and succulent appearance and for the beginner it is easy enough to start off with and be inspired to keep going.
…six apples…

Just for some lazy fun, I splashed some greens for a sucrine salad…using blues and yellows, purple and payes gray for darker shadows. Salad is always difficult to draw and paint, so many lines and squigles…definitely not a favorute subkect of mine. The greens are a great challenge though!

Espelette chillies in charcoal and sanguine.
Without planning it, these experiments have turned into a series. As it is raining constantly outside, I have to dine my subjects inside. I started off with clementines(see post here) and today I grabbed the bunch of dried Espelette chillies hanging next to the stove.
…Espelette chillies in charcoal and sanguine, 50x 65cm…
I started off in light vine charcoal, rubbed over slightly with my hand to erase most of the lines and then went in with the sanguine.

Radishes in charcoal and watercolor
Continuing my experimentation with large formats, different mediums and free strokes. Still sticking with charcoal, which is an unforgiving medium, but exactly that fact gives me the freedom to "play" freely. You can"t start over every time you make a mistake; so you are forced to work with the mistakes, which can either lead to great discoveries, or total mess ups – not to be seen as a bad thing. I also prefer working with the dark charcoal, and one can see in the images below the really dark black it gives. I don't use fixatives.. I have the impression it doesn't work in any case..
…radishes in charcoal, watercolor and watercolor pencils, 42x60cm..
I chose radishes, cut off most of the leaves to expose mostly the stems, thew them out on the table and chose a composition with only a few radishes.
..the start – in charcoal lines and watercolor washes, using lot of water and allowing it to run…
After finishing, I stood back and the watercolor looked too washed out against the dark charcoal, so I added watercolor pencil, washed it to blend and give darker color, and here and there I left some pencil marks to echo the charcoal lines.
…radishes – close up 1..
Far from being a perfect piece and it won't end up in an exhibition, this was another good exercise in getting rid of "fear".

Clementines in charcoal.
Thankfully there is always an end to yesterday. And to whining. Once I got tired of my own whining about this not working and that not good enough(see the previous post), I had the clarity to see that the only way to change what I don't like in my art, is to work at it.
..Clementines in charcoal on paper, 43X60cm..
So here is what I went for:
- I worked only charcoal and white conté sticks.
- Large format. I will go bigger still, bit for the time being 43x60cm is plenty.
- I put the drawing on my easel and work with the whole arm and not the wrist, standing back often to get distance.
- No details.
- Large and free strokes.
- No erasing.
- No planning ahead, trusting impulse.
- Still worked from life..whatever is around, but no photos.
- No direct copying, put marks and lines as I felt and wanted, whether it is correct or not.
- Stopped early enough, while I still had the urge to continue.
I enjoyed this process todayeven though it still has my typical mark making, I feel happy about it. Will continue experimenting.
The paper is bending on the easel as I didn't add a big enough support behind it, so the colour and focus are not perfect all over the paper.
Some close ups below to see the marks and smudges.
Close up 1
Some of the close-ups actuall make for nice pieces on their own..so the piece of work can be torn or cut into sections and reworked..maybe collaged as part of another work…?

Stay tuned for loads of work in the next few weeks..and if you feel like joining in..please do so.

A rough sketch of some painting tools.
I dug this sketch out of the bin. It ended there along with many others I'm lately not happy with. I feel in an awful slump and nothing seems to work..everything is either too "pretty", or too perfect or it is just plain bad art. I struggle to find that exciting stroke, or that exciting subject, or even the right medium. I work on small tiny papers and do small tiny challenges. I am in need of freedom and uninhibited expression. I know what I want and what I don't want..or do I?
I wonder if art can go through menopause…in which case, that is where I would say my art is right now. Going through menopause. I hope it passes soon.
the first one is just pencil contour lines and then of course I didn't like it and thought colour and pen would make it look better…
…just to realize it doesn't look better, nor worse.

So. The solution is probably just to carry on and maybe consider not throwing out the awful ones. They should stay with us strive for better, or different, ot both.

Three feathers in pen and aquarelle.
With this first post on Africantapestry, I wish you all a great year!
Yesterday I gave my art students some feathers to draw. They are beginners in drawing and I was highly impressed by the result. This afternoon I thought I should do a sketch of the same feathers. My geese and chickens aren't shedding feathers at the moment and I dug into the chicken coop to find some decent ones..well, with some imagination they could come close to decent…But it actually made for an interesting challenge. We always think of a feather being perfect and pretty and soft..these were torn and scruffy and quite dirty and they smelled like chicken..

September 26: Three chickens.
It is very very hot and humid. Everybody is moving around like limp fish. The horses are in permanent rest under the apple tree, the cats don't lift an eyebrow when I walk past the them and even the chickens lay motionless in the shade of the hibiscus bush. I was busy, or trying to be. I took down washing, hung the next basket full, every time walking past the chickens. When they didn't move when by the third pass, I thought they might just keep that pose for another 30 minutes. Et voilà, indeed they did, or almost. This was fun.

September 24 & 25: Houses in the hills en plein air.
When I drive on the narrow country roads, I love staring at all the country houses…their gardens, their latest activity, the latest changes, their potagers (vegetable gardens). Life is never quiet and static at a country home. Sometimes the houses are nestled on top of the grass hills, entouré (surrounded) by trees for shade and coolness during hot summers. Sometimes they are sunken deep in the valleys and their presence is betrayed only by their roofs or a trail of smoke in winter. How I love the country side!
..the house on the hill..

The opainting below was done earlier today and I spent only about 20-25 minutes on it before I packed up. Today is very humid and hot and the clouds are moving in and pretty soon the thunder will be rolling. I worked almost carelessly, tired and not really wanting to put in the effort. But it is actually starting to grow on me and is not as bad as I initially thought. Maybe I should do more 15 minute plein air paintings.

Two plein air paintings for these two days. With the wonderful weather we are having this week, it would be shameful not to paint out.

oil on linen, 33×46 cm
With the past rains we had, the fields have exploded into greens and wildflowers, especially wild pink heather. It is not for nothing that fall is called second spring. There are also beautiful patches of lilac crocus all over. Of course, everybody is out hunting for mushrooms and a couple was doing just that while I painted "Pink heather". The tree next to the little "cabane" is an old oak and home to the ever popular bolet, or cèpe and the hunting couple was all around the tree, all around the cabane, to and fro, while Madame lifted the bottom seam of her dress to carry their treasure. Fortunately I was far enough to avoid seeing the detail.

September 20 & 21: Garden urns.
I believe in drawing as a basis for all mediums of art. Whether doing aquarelle or oil painting, statues of abstraction..it all comes down to understanding an object/subject and nothing else than good old drawing can get one to that point. Not forgetting doing it on large format. Just my personal opinion. I don't draw enough. There was a time when I was much better at drawing than I am now. Doing life model drawing saw to that. I have to get back to live drawing sessions with a model. Perfect for drawing skills.

rotring Tikky graphic pen on drawing paper, 21×29.7cm
I actually enjoy doing urns, bowls, jugs…they are a good mixture of simple shapes put together in a complex way…ellipses, round shapes, triangles, rectangles, value shapes, light shapes, depth.. good practice for seeing shapes rather than lines, even though I do like line work.
Charcoal on drawing paper, 29.7×42 cm
Aargh…so many booboos in these 2 drawings, but it is OK. At least I didn't 'feather' my drawings into correctness, like I see so often and I find it terrible. Rather a sure, continuously wrong line than a hesitantly feathered correct "line". Once again, only my personal opinion.

September 19: Lipstick seduction.
I don't wear make-up, except for the occasional mascara. But lipstick, now that I love, so much so that I have quite a few. Some shiny ones, some with real stay-power(so they say), some reds, corals and some neutrals, some fun ones..
"Seduction often begins with taste. There is no kiss like the first kiss with lipstick.." said John Baxter in his book, The most beautiful walk in the world. I can't really say if this holds true, since I'm on the giving side of the lipstick kiss, but I can admit that I do feel quite a bit seductive when wearing a touch of lipstick. Unfortunately, it only lasts 10 minutes or so before I've licked every bit of seduction from my lips and I'm back to Cinderella form. I know women who daub their gloss in the morning and by lunchtime their lips are still a voluptuous rosy invitation. Selfishly, they don't reveal their secret.
Optimistically, I carry some lip color in my bag for those retouch moments, which never happen. My bag lipstick is still as new as the day I bought it, probably about 2 years ago. In addition, I even have an antique little purse mirror from my mother, which finally serves no other purpose than sentiment and adding weight to my bag.
In the end, all is OK actually, because 10 minutes a day is still more than nothing.

Pen and watercolor on watercolor block, 23X31cm
With my apple-picking-excursion for this sketch, I once again realized the importance of having a sense of humor. I may have few outstanding qualities, but I have an extraordinary sense of humor and it is the one thing in which I have unshakable faith. It has saved me many a time. It has pulled me up when nothing else or no one else could. I know that however bad things may be today, tomorrow or the day after I will find the humor in it. So I always hang on, sometimes by a very thin thread, until that sense of humor kicks in. Like this afternoon. In heavy pouring rain, I slipped on the slopes, got almost fried by the electric fence and couldn't reach the apples, so I had to shake the branches, which brought down a shower of apples and extra rains, most of them finding my head. The horses got highly excited by this downpour of apples and pushed my tiny frame discourteously out of the way with their extra large behinds. I grabbed my apples and scrambled out of their way, waving my arms and fingers at them, or maybe it was to keep my balance…who knows.
While trying to find the bumps on my head in front of the mirror and instead only finding apple drenched horse saliva, I wished I could be on the beach in the sun somewhere, elegantly sipping something colourful I don't know the name of.
But here I am, at least with a sketch for this day.
Tomorrow I will laugh about it.

September 17: Corn on the cob.
I have lost a week's posting of sketches which I'll catch up on later. For now, I am back on track with today's sketch of corn on the cob from the potager, on which the horses feast every day. Up until a few days ago, they were still sweet and juicy and wonderful on the barbeque, but seeing them with dry husks, is a clear sign that summer is moving on.

September 7: Favorite Oxfords.
I tend to be very boring when it comes to choosing daily outfits. I have only a few favorite outfits in which I feel comfortable, so comfortable that I tend to wear only those. One such a comfy piece of clothing, is this pair of Oxfords, my favorite winter shoes. I wear them with long skirts, with rolled up pants, with jeans, with woolen slacks..they go with everything and they walk everywhere. But don't make the mistake thinking that I don't love shoes..oh, I do, I do! It is a bit like art supplies..I want to have it all, thinking I'll do better art, but in the end, only the basics can do the job. With shoes the same. I want them all, thinking I'll look prettier, but in the end, only a few succeed in not making me walk around with a tortured expression on my face..back to basics.

September 6: Four wheels
Since we moved a two years or so ago, I got stuck quite a few times in the winter's mud and snow and slid into ditches and depended on farmers and their trusting tractors. Given that I hate a telephone and rarely have one on me, it takes forever to get out of my predicaments. So we said goodbye to our trusted old friend last year (Goodbye to an old friend )and mon cheri got me new four wheels. I am since then a happy country woman! I already got out of ditches, I wheelie in the snow with flair, and I make small change of our slippery winter road uphill…all without the help of Mr Farmer and his tractor!
Mon cheri of course thinks it is his four wheels! Oh well, I kindly allow him to think so…after all, he is mon chéri!

September 5: Le vieux poulailler(old hen house)
The chickens have been moved to their new chateau and soon the old chicken coop will be demolished, not without a morsel of sadness, though..
..le vieux poulailler..
oil on linen, 33x46cm
I first painted in the tufts of hay that stuck out all over, which I actually found so cute! After adding those first strokes of tuft and standing back, it look like I borrowed some stars from Van Goch starry night and added it to my poulailler. No go. So, with patience unknown to me, I scraped off the tufts with the palette knife and touched up again with fresh paint. It is once again an art lesson: not everything we find pretty in reality will necessarily make a good painting.

September 4: Spilled coffee
Some days are just stubborn. Such a day was today. In spite of all my best intentions, no art attempts worked today. I did charcoal drawings, small and large. I painted in oil. I splashed in watercolor, ink, tried graphite..and they all turned out…well, terrible. If I had to do an exam today, I would probably have handed in a blank paper and walked out.
..Spilled coffee..
watercolor and pen in sketchbook, (15,5x25CM)
Apart from all the failed art efforts, I opened the fridge in frustration this afternoon for something cool to drink and an enamel bowl fell out and hit me above the eye. I've been stung by a horsefly and the huge bulge on my arm burns like crazy! My coffee spilled all over my working table. That's when I decided I've had it. The spilled coffee would be my sketch for 4 September, a perfect memory of how life sometimes refuses to work with you. Maybe I haven't been listening all day and life was, or still is, trying to tell me something? Or maybe this is just very normal in ordinary daily life.

September 3: Une rose trémière(Hollyhocks)
Time for the hollyhocks to bloom. An olde world flower that reminds me of Maman and her friends. They all had hollyhocks in their gardens, growing through the cracks in old pavements, pushing through gravel, leaning against old walls. They still do push up through all the cracks and walls, all over the French countryside, turning their bright pink and soft white blooms to greet the warm September rays.
..une rose trémière..
Pen and watercolor on watercolor paper, HP, 23x30cm

September art 2: Sous l'arbre.
Under the tree, the apple tree stand an old wagon that we inherited with the farm. Sometimes it serves as a table when we have many guests, sometimes it serves as a support for cutting wood and sometimes it serves as a ladder for our young faul, Dumêla, so she can reach the higher apples.
..Sous l'arbre..

September art – 1(the last artichoke)
With all this beauty in September, shouldn't I be out there..sketching and painting? Of course. And that is the plan.
Today delivered this artichoke. The last one which were left to flower. The others have already gone completely dry, but that reminds me too much of endings, which I don't want yet, so let's stick with the flowery one.
..The last artichoke..
Watercolour and pen on watercolor block, HP, 18X26 cm.
If I can keep it up..my self discipline I mean, I'll produce a painting and sketch every day for this September, starting today. Even though it is still summer, there are already trees in the forest which are turning slightly yellow and the all greens with the touches of yellow are quite spectacular. The ferns in the forest are also turning into magnificent yellows, while they are still beautiful strong plants, not wilted or dead. The fields have been cut for hay and are pushing the last stretch of greens,which turn them into patches of greens and beiges, with the cattle still grazing…beautiful views.
à demain(until tomorrow)

Police will charge Roderick Marshall, 23, of Compton with multiple counts of residential burglary after he broke into an apartment at 609 Prospect Avenue and fled the scene Thursday morning, confirmed Police Chief Joe Payne.
Marshall was found hiding on the roof of an Orange Grove home.
Around 7:15 a.m., received a call from workers at 609 Prospect Avenue, who said they had chased a male from a tented/fumigated apartment building at that address.
The witnesses allegedly followed the suspect into the apartments between Charter Oak and Magnolia west of Orange Grove, according to Payne.
With the help of a police helicopter and canine units, officers and detectives at the scene established a perimeter and located the suspect hiding on a roof at 639 Orange Grove around 9:45 a.m. Thursday.
Marshall was taken into custody without incident and all stolen property was recovered. He is being charged with multiple counts of residential burglary and detectives are looking into possible robbery charges as well, Payne wrote to Patch in an email.
Payne said a female suspect allegedly involved in the burglary was also taken into custody Thursday.

This is a question I have pondered for quite a many years. Why? Well because no matter how many times I end up in a long term committed relationship, within a year something is always missing for me. I start to feel weighted, I start feeling alone. I look at my life and see that I am doing as much as I would be doing if I were living alone, but now I have to deal with another adult being in the house. That presence of another person just drives me bonkers – this goes for room mates, visitors and a partner. I just don't like being around the same adult every single day. I enjoy having my space, my freedom to just sit in my house without anyone being around.
Take my kid free weekends. If I have been with someone for about a year, I start to wish they had somewhere else to be. I want them out of the home so that I can spend two solid days in complete utter silence. No other person's energy, words or presence to agitate me. I enjoy my alone time, but see I enjoy my alone time much deeper than just needing more time to me. Get a hobby, some will say. Get out of the house, go have fun. You deserve me time, some will say. I do that. It doesn't help anything. I slowly start to feel suffocated by the existence of another adult in my world.
The funny thing is? I never feel that way about my children. Although I do know I need that break I get every other weekend from my handful son's, I never feel suffocated or as if they are too much to have around all of the time. I also feel that same way with my oldest, and only daughter, she is a joy to be around all of the time and even on her rough days, I don't wish she wasn't around. The presence of my children simply calms me, soothes me, makes me feel happy. There has yet to be another adult in this world that I can handle sharing my life with beyond one year. That's just a fact.
Going into relationships or even upon meeting someone at first; I am honest in that I say I am a free spirit, I like change. I am that type of person who usually has a different new-to-me vehicle every year if possible. I also have moved a lot since losing my first home, prior to that home ownership, I moved at least once a year for various reasons. I remember when I signed the papers to my home and moved in, I started to question why did I even buy a home? I was a single Mom of one back then and knew I didn't do well with being in the same place for too long. It's just who I am and maybe has to to do with me needing more alone time to learn why I am that way. I enjoy analyzing myself and learning why I do the things I do. I then work on making it better, but I can't make it better when I am feeling constantly drained of all happy energy.
I think the ultimate point I am trying to make here is that sometimes, some people are simply meant to be alone. I don't mean forever. I am sure that each of us may have a special person out there, but I honestly enjoy being alone. I don't mind it one bit. It gets lonely, sure. But what I am realizing, as I gain more female friendships, is that being alone isn't all that rough. I would rather live alone than live with someone. I just don't like sharing my world for long term.
Being in the same house with another adult is just too much for me. It brings on this feeling as if I am having the life choked out of me. The other odd fact I have found is that when I am a single Mom, living alone with three kids, I am better with finances than when I reside with another adult who has another income coming into the home. Go figure that one out? I haven't figured it out.
I think time is necessary for me to truly come to a determination of what's going on. I have spoken to a counselor and well he is pretty much in agreeance that due to me having a special needs child, it is going to be vitally important I have a partner {if I have one} that can fit into that. My middle child is going to require a lot of my attention and energy for the rest of my life. I need to be fully aware that I HAVE TO BE AT THE BEST OF ME in order to raise all three children, but specifically my special needs child. That is okay with me. I love my three children to the center of the Earth and back, I will always be their rock and love them unconditionally. Sadly, I just can't ever feel that way for long term about another adult. I love people and I care for them but I am simply better off doing things alone. The rhythm gets messed up with another adult in the house, it really does and then I get off balanced which them makes the kids act amuck and then my life just spirals downward.
I refuse to do this. I need to rise above. I need to stop worrying about others and realize what is ultimately best for ME. For what is best for ME will be best for my KIDS and while change is always difficult, if it's a positive change and I remind myself I JUST DO BETTER LIVING ALONE, then things will look up eventually. I don't feel like I am broken, but maybe I do still have some things to work on with myself, and need time alone, living alone to work through them. I am okay with that, every day is about building on yourself …. and I can't let my fear of hurting someone's feelings keep me from being the best I can be and doing what I need to do to keep the best of me.
Many won't understand, honestly most never do. But I believe that's because most people I know don't live life to ensure they are meeting their deepest inner happiness OR they were blessed to have met their perfect soul mate and couldn't imagine life without them. I haven't been there yet. I thought it was so, but again, after a year, it never sticks. And that says I need to work on me again, but first I need to place myself in a positive parenting position to ensure all of my hard work as a parent is going to continue to pay off. I have to be honest though, this time around, I am witnessing that a comfort zone has been approached and so I am seeing the person I am with in a whole new light, while I've tried to explain it to him, he doesn't fully see where I am coming from. I do feel it's not a 100% my issue, I think that I am me from day one and sometimes the people I meet end up being a far off version of who they portrayed themselves to be and since we moved in together at about six months of dating, this happened quicker than later.
I think most people need to follow that two year rule, 1 year to get to know each other and a 2nd year to figure out if that real version of the person works for your world. I don't ever take enough time to remember that rule …. but I can't live in sadness, anger and fear because I don't want to hurt anyone, don't want to be judged. I don't mean judged by outsiders, either, I mean by family members. I have yet to live an adult life they seem to support EVER, except for a couple super close family members. I have to let go that I am not the person they want me to be and if they truly love me then being here, supporting me and my kids would be in the best interest of things. I can't change others and others can't change me – let's learn to love and accept people for their honesty and commitment to being 100% whole inside and happy, whether you "approve" or not.

Inside Collection (Course): Best Practices in Online Teaching
Summary: This module provides some advice about managing grades and exams in an online environment. This module is part of the Best Practices in Online Teaching Course created by Penn State University World Campus as a guide for faculty who are new to teaching in an online environment.
Tallent-Runnels, et al. (2006) suggests that "managing student assignments, providing feedback to students, and assessing students' learning are all key factors in any course, whether face-to-face or online." The research findings summarized in their review have shown that online instructors could have more options in teaching, learning, and assessment through various online learning technologies.
The differences between face-to-face and distance education context "require a refocus and repurposing of classroom-developed assessment and evaluation" (Garrison & Anderson, 2003, p.93).

The magazine commissioned artist Jon Sibal to combine all the rumors it has collected into a speculative vision of what the look of a 2015 SRT Barracuda might be.
Instead of making a retro-modern version of the beloved, iconic Barracuda shape, it looks like the artist chose to imagine a far different approach for the speculated Pony Car. The original's long hood and short deck are replaced by a short hood and short deck. The split grille tries to evoke earlier 'Cudas, but we think it might actually be more appropriate as a Pontiac than a Plymouth (err..SRT, you know what we mean).
C/D says its sources point to a 2015 SRT Barracuda replacing the current Challenger, but with a smaller vehicle that's more of a sports car than muscle car. Engine choices could be as varied as a turbocharged Targershark inline-four, a 3.6-liter V6 and one of two Hemis: either the 5.7 or 6.4-liter.
Overall size is expected to be closer to the Ford Mustang than the Charger, with a weight loss of as much as 300 pounds.
Check out the complete renderings at over at C/D and let us know in Comments what you think of them.

Goodell hears Pryor's appeal over suspension
0 Reply | 558 ViewsOn 09/16/2011 05:11 AM in NCAA Football
Pryor wasn't present at the appeal and no ruling was immediately given.
The former Ohio State star has reversed his original position and appealed the suspension he was handed by the NFL before the Raiders even picked him in the supplemental draft.
Pryor, who signed a four-year contract with Oakland, had said during his pro workout day last month that he would not appeal any penalty handed down by NFL for the memorabilia scandal that eventually led to the resignation of Buckeyes head coach Jim Tressel.
The quarterback left Ohio State rather than serve a five-game suspension given by the NCAA.
The NFL, in a move that received much attention, applied that penalty in an effort to discourage players from leaving college under similar circumstances as Pryor's.
Pryor practiced with the Raiders in Alameda, California, on Thursday and was unable to attend the appeal hearing.

For the third consecutive game, linebacker Nick Kwiatkowski from Bethel Park, Pa., led West Virginia University in tackles with nine as the Mountaineers defeated Georgia State, 41-7, Saturday afternoon.
Kwiatkowski is a converted safety who grew into linebacker size and who has developed into a special player.
"He is only a redshirt sophomore and is as healthy as he has ever been," said coach Dana Holgorsen. "He is a smart guy and is allowing himself to be coached. There is a mental aspect to the game of football that you have to be able to understand, and right now he understands it."
But it is more than just that.
"He has worked his body into phenomenal shape," Holgorsen added.
There are almost no complaints coming from anywhere about him.
Ask defensive coordinator and linebacker coach Keith Patterson.
"He is one of those guys who does everything you ask him to do, and he doesn't deviate from it," Patterson said. "I've been very pleased with his approach every single day. What you see from him on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday is what you are going to see on Saturday."
Because of that, he is fully prepared each game and plays maybe just a step faster than those around him.
"It's his confidence. He understands the system. When you play with confidence, you play fast. Last year he didn't have the reps to go out there and feel 100 percent confident. This year he does."
• Three players were not dressed for the Georgia State game. Backup cornerback KJ Dillon was out with a knee. Linebacker Doug Rigg was kept out as precaution after suffering a concussion the previous week, and tight end Garrett Hope was out with an unannounced injury.
To fill in for Hope as a backup tight end, Russell Haughton-James was moved from backup right guard to tight end.
• The 23rd induction ceremonies were held for the WVU Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday. Inducted were Dale Blaney (men's basketball), Olivia Bradley (women's basketball), Linda Burdette-Good (gymnastics), Dr. Ed Etzel (rifle), Dean Morrison (wrestling), Paul Popovich (men's basketball/baseball) and Tom Woodeshick (football).
• Five players started for the first time for WVU – Mario Alford, Ronald Carswell, Ford Childress, Daryl Worley and Kevin White. … Childress' 359 passing yards were a record for a freshman quarterback at WVU, breaking the mark of 257 set on Nov. 24, 2000, by Scott McBrien in a loss to Pitt.

Whether you're attending a friend's barbecue or traveling to a destination for fireworks this 4th of July, be mindful of the speed limit, designate a non-drinking driver and always buckle up, the California Highway Patrol says.
The CHP will be holding a Maximum Enforcement Period starting Tuesday, July 3, at 6 p.m. until Wednesday, July 4, 11:59 p.m. to monitor motorists who are a potential threat to themselves and others.
"When celebrating Independence Day, the CHP wants you to be safe," said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow in a statement. "When driving, be sure to leave plenty of time to get to your destination. Most importantly, before heading out, insist everyone in the vehicle is wearing a seat belt and children are secure in safety seats."
On July 4th last year, 34 people were killed in traffic collisions in California, compared to 23 people who died in 2010.
"It is alarming to know that more than 80 percent of the people who were killed in vehicle collisions over the Independence Day holiday last year may have survived had they taken the time to buckle up," added Commissioner Farrow.
Last year, over the Independence Day weekend, CHP officers made 1,562 arrests for driving under the influence.
The CHP reminds motorists to designate a non-drinking driver before they celebrate to ensure everyone's safety while on the road.

Four years after Enron's collapse, nearly 1 in 10 workers still invest most of their retirement savings in their company's stock plan.
"In the aftermath of Enron, it's shocking that so many workers are still investing most of their retirement funds in company stock," said Brian Bruce, adjunct professor of finance at SMU's Cox School for Business."Diversification is key. It's not just about company stock. It's about not putting too much of your financial capital in any asset."
The Employee Benefit Research Institute says older workers had the highest percentage of their investments in their company's stock. Bruce explains that there are a variety of factors for why some workers still take these risks, including company stock discounts, familiarity with the investment, and limited options for investing. At SMU, Bruce teaches an MBA portfolio class where students manage investment decisions on $3 million of SMU endowment.
SMU Law Professor Alan Bromberg, an expert on security fraud and shareholder lawsuits, says the courts need to recognize it's a natural tendency for workers to invest heavily in their company stock. Such investors do so, he says, because they see direct benefits from their labors showing up in the company stock price.
"We're in a period of less protection for defrauded investors," says Bromberg. "Congress has done a considerable amount to discourage shareholder lawsuits. I'm not surprised that many workers still invest heavily in their company stock plans. They want to invest in a company that they know and trust. But when defrauded by that company, they deserve more protections, more remedies."
To reach Bruce or Bromberg, call SMU Office of News & Communications at 214-768-7654; see more experts at www.enronexperts.com.

Update: We've heard conflicting word on auto focus. According to Photography Review's preview, the camera doesn't have auto focus in video mode, but according to the Olympus press release, as Super Marxio pointed out in comments, there is auto focus during recording. Perhaps Photography Review was looking at a non-final version of the camera. We do know that the camera does auto focus using contrast detection, like a regular compact camera, and while that's the same method used by the GH1, DP Review claims it's slightly inferior -- though they did state they were working with a 0.9 firmware.

A tall, slender, darkly handsome man sat alone at the head of a long, polished table, his fingers clasped together under his chin. He was thinking, behind the faint half smile on his face that betrayed nothing.
In order to truly rule Zhentil Keep—not just lord it over the council—it would be necessary to break the power of the richest and most inf luential city merchants. Not to mention the hired wizards working for them.
The nobles he had already conquered, or could destroy at will. He just needed them to refrain from mustering arms against him and banding together while he dealt with the merchants.
The waylords. The sixteen men who could sway or cow all the other merchants and shopkeepers of the keep. Sixteen citizens who could quietly bring armies into the city without having to fight past the city walls or disembark at the docks. They threatened the rule of anyone who sat on a throne in Zhentil Keep by their very existence. So they must die, and soon.

MANKATO — Gordon Herbst grew up near Minneopa State Park. He also helped grow Minneopa State Park.
The acreage just south of Mankato was a lifetime passion for the idiosyncratic lifelong bachelor, who died Monday at age 82.
"He's just synonymous with it. I don't think there was anything that happened at Minneopa State Park that Gordon wasn't involved with in some way," said former Friends of Minneopa State Park President Jeff Brand.
Herbst's love for the park and its signature waterfall, the largest in southern Minnesota, was manifested in the books he wrote on the park's history.
Friends and acquaintances said the studious Herbst was a wellspring of information on the park and its fascinating minutia — if one could coax the cryptic chronicler to share his tales.
"He was kind of a secretive guy, definitely a different kind of person," Friends of Minneopa member Brand Frentz said.
Frentz said Herbst would display a quirky little smile when he didn't want to get too far into answering a question about his past.
"He'd just say, 'Well, wouldn't you like to know that?'"
A man of eclectic interests ( "He knew a lot about a lot," Brand said), Herbst's life included a career with a pathology firm and a passion for horticulture that netted him certification as a Master Gardener.
Several years ago, Herbst oversaw a gathering of more than 100 volunteers, who separated seeds from park plants as part of a restoration project to help return the grounds to a thriving area of natural prairie plant life.
The gathered seeds were then re-sown by hand in specified areas, thereby speeding up nature's natural process.
"We're trying to bring (the park) back to what it used to be," Herbst said at the time.
In 2012, as Herbst joined others to watch the razing of the park's aged falls bridge to make way for a new one, he shared a personal anecdote with The Free Press.
The park-area resident recalled the long-ago image of a man who delivered coal to Mankato homes and businesses.
When the coalman's work day was done, he'd come to the falls to clean up under its cascade.
"This is where he'd come to strip off a certain amount of his clothes," Herbst said in his typical fashion, sharing just enough of the tale to keep it tantalizing.
Said Frentz, "He'd hint at something but not tell you anything."
Brand said Herbst's quirkiness also came into play when Friends of Minneopa held meetings in a local restaurant.
Others would order food and drink, but Herbst never did.
"He'd say, 'I don't eat anything I don't make myself.'"
Frentz said Herbst's zeal for Minneopa State Park was demonstrated thusly a few years ago:
When it came time for Friends members to fill out their yearly volunteer work-hours forms for the state Department of Natural Resources, Herbst penciled in about 400 hours.
"He beat all of us put together," Frentz said.

My husband and I wanted to take a spur of the moment quick getaway and this was perfect for us. The house was clean and comfortable and has everything needed to enjoy some piece and quiet for a wonderful relaxing weekend. The owners were so pleasant to work with! Thank you so much for being so accommodating with such short notice! We would definitely come again!
We all had a wonderful time at this house. We had 15 people, 8 adults and 7 kids. The kids age ranged from 20 to 13. The sleeping arrangement was terrific with 4 boys in the bunk room and 3 girls in the twin bedroom. The adults enjoyed the king bed rooms too. We all enjoyed cooking our meals in the large 3 rd floor combined kitchen and great room. Being so close to the beach was super for morning walks and getting out early for a beach day. The pool and hot tub were great for the kids to hangout and play. Since I was in charge of getting the house for this family vacation I was worried things wouldn't workout for everyone, but it did, it worked out perfectly. Thanks too for your timely correspondence and help.

Buffalo Sabres play-by-play man Rick Jeanneret confirmed this afternoon that he plans to return to the TV and radio booth next season.
The 70-year-old Hockey Hall of Famer added he won't know how many games he will work until the National Hockey League schedule comes out.
"I'll do most of them," said Jeanneret in a brief telephone interview. "I won't know how many I will do until I see the schedule."
Jeanneret worked 44 of the 48 games this past season, missing the first four games because of an illness. He added he has a year left on his contract.
There has been some recent speculation about Jeanneret's future, which could have impacted whether the Sabres would have separate radio and television announcing teams on WGR and MSG, respectively.
Greg Ried, the vice president and general manager of WGR and other Entercom stations in the market, had previously told me that he would only be interested in having a different announce team if Jeanneret stopped doing the games and even then it would depend on who would replace him. That is no longer a concern.
"Since Rick said he is coming back, our plan is to have him back on the radio," said Ried this afternoon.

International travel usually ranges from $8,000 to $30,000, depending on the number of horses. Yet, some owners do whatever is wanted and needed to get the horse to the race.
During the recession, prices for Thoroughbreds took a devastating fall, with many predicting that top horse values would never recover to their 2005-2007 highs. But prices have now recovered some lost ground.
A look at the early favorites to watch in the Kentucky Derby this year, with CNBC's Brian Shactman.
CNBC's Brian Shactman is at the home of Saturday's Kentucky Derby, where Brown-Forman has cooked up a mint julep with a $1,000 price tag. Tim Laird, Brown-Forman's "Chief Entertaining Officer" makes one for Brian and explains what makes it so expensive.
This is the eighth year the grand-a-piece drinks are being offered at the Derby by bourbon maker Woodford Reserve.
The truth is that huge money is everywhere at the Derby: from the $8,000 per ticket new luxury area called the "Mansion," to the $500 hats and $1,000 mint julep.

CNBC's Darren Rovell reports I'll Have Another will not run in the Belmont Stakes, knocking the thoroughbred out of contention for the Triple Crown.
I'll Have Another comes into the Belmont with as little fanfare as we've seen in recent horses that have won both the Derby and the Preakness. But this is a horse that the horse racing industry has to get behind.
William Mack, Mack-Cali Realty non-executive chairman, weighs in on an I'll Have Another Belmont Stakes win; the outlook on housing; and how global uncertainty is stalling the U.S. economic recovery, with Byron Wien, Blackstone Advisory Partners vice chairman.

On Aug. 31, 2010 Pacific University celebrated the opening of its second building (HPC2) at our Hillsboro Campus. The expansion was highlighted at the "Health & Education District Showcase" that day. The newly formed district is comprised of Pacific University, the City of Hillsboro, Tuality Healthcare, the Virginia Garcia Memorial Center and Portland Community College.
The new 59,800-square-foot building joins Creighton Hall, which was built in 2006. Several graduate health programs are now housed in our second building. Watch the new building take shape in a time-lapse video of its construction.
Creighton Hall
The Washington County healthcare community officially expanded Aug. 17, 2006 when Pacific University formally dedicated its new Campus in Hillsboro, Oregon. Since its founding in 1849, Pacific University has been an educational leader in Washington County and the Pacific Northwest. Now, after 160 years in Forest Grove, Pacific has opened the doors to a new venture.
At the dedication of the first building Aug. 17, 2006 speakers included Pacific University's 16th President Dr. Phillip Creighton and Board of Trustee Chairman Tim Schauermann. Additional speakers included U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith, U.S. Congressman David Wu and Hillsboro Mayor Tom Hughes. Pacific's partners in the project, Tuality Healthcare President/CEO Dick Stenson and Gil Munoz, executive director of Virginia Garcia Center -- also spoke. More than 300 people were in attendance for the ceremonies.
The Pacific University Hillsboro Campus is located on a 1/2 -acre site on the Tuality Healthcare Hillsboro campus anchored by the Tuality Community Hospital. The campus is located, along the south side of Washington Street and the MAX light rail midway between S.E. 7th and 9th Avenues.
Pacific University, Tuality Healthcare and Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center working together, that's now the gold standard for collaboration.
