Here are Some Product Reviews
5 out of 5
For all its great attributes, it is a COLOSSAL MESS to use. It is like slathering yourself in mud. In first applying it I felt terrified about the results as it goes on extremely dark and with big streaks everywhere, but it turns out you really don't have to worry about those. And don't think you can slop this on and then go about your business for the day. It is called Overnight for a good reason. You can't do anything else except put on some old jimmies and go to bed until the process is however.8/11/2012

Very natural looking tan. from Toronto, ON Verified Purchaser The tan I got was very close to my natural color of a tan. Doesn't have the usual self-tanner scent - smells like almonds. I apply it every other day to maintain the color. Stains hands a lot even if you wash them immediately after and will stain your bedding as well (but washes away without a trace on white sheets). Palms of your hands return to normal color by the afternoon the next day. One bottle lasts for approximately 2-3 weeks with every other day application on a petite body. Review posted 6/16/2012.

This is my all time favorite self tanner by MALGRIFFIN from BRANTFORD, ON This is the first self tanner I have ever tried. I've been using it for about 3 years now and I've tried quite a few others including st tropez, fake bake and others and this is by far my favorite and everything else I have tried was just a huge let down compared to this. For me this is the longest lasting one, basically fool proof to apply it's so easy and does not streak. This is the only one I've found that will 5 out of 5 great self tanner! from Shenandoah junction, WV Verified Purchaser love the almond scent, non streaking and the color is a beautiful brown, not orange like some other self tanners I have tried in the past. Review posted 7/10/2011.

Very believable color - without streaks or funny smell! from Glastonbury, CT Verified Purchaser This is the best self tanner I ever used. The color looks totally natural - brown, not the orange look I've had from virtually every other tanner. The brown color guide helps a lot, so there is not streaking whatsoever. My best advice would be to keep washing your hands frequently as you apply the tanner. The first time I used it, I didn't wash my hands until the end and it took me literally ten minutes to get all the rubbed in color off my hands. I also needed to use a pumice. But the good news is my palms had no hint of color on them in the morning, so the pumice idea is actually great. Review posted 6/25/2012.

Pixie eats breakfast and supper of home-prepared vegetarian meals including Vegepet supplement and Vegeyeast. The basic recipes are like the ones from your site: a whole grain such as millet, brown rice or barley combined with a protein that is also usually a whole grain (quinoa, lentil or soy flour).
I add extras like green beans (which she helps herself to in the garden in summer anyway) or a smoothie with rice milk, broccoli and carrots, and a fat which is canola oil or nut butter. Pixie has weighed exactly 51# her whole adult life, which is perfect for her size and for keeping her sound. As you can see, she is very athletic! Her vet says she's in fantastic condition.

"Thanks for the great service we receive from you, the beers always turn up pretty quick!y"
Liane from Auckland, Jul 2012
View More
B.Effect Mojo Pin Belgian Ale (500ml Bottle)
A clean Belgian style malt bill, balanced with NZ Golding & Pacifica Hops this beer is made to display the interaction between the Red Wine Yeast and the American Ale yeast which are pitched together. Starting sweet, but with a mellow bitterness the yeast flavours and esters do the subtle talking. This beer was made to bring change.
Tasting Notes
Belgian Ale
Belgian-style ales seldom fit neatly into classic beer styles, but this category represents those "session" ales (in Belgium this means under 7% abv!) that do not fit other categories. Colour ranges from golden to deep amber, with the occasional example coming in darker. Body tends to be light to medium, with a wide range of hop and malt levels. Yeastiness and acidity may also be present.

How Do I Protect My Hardwood Flooring?
Hardwood flooring is attractive and a genuine investment for your home. However, one of the disadvantages to wood floors is that, if care is not taken, they can easily be scratched and damaged. Here are some tips for protecting your floors from potential damage:
- Be careful to not drag your feet while walking on the flooring
- Keep the floor free from grit and dirt, particularly sand
- Lift furniture rather than pushing it across the floor
Additionally, it is important to have your floor professionally treated in order to protect it from damage. To discuss your needs with the Arlington hardwood floor cleaners of WOW Total Cleaning, please contact us today by calling 817-239-9441.

Sharks not a blessing to Georgia shrimp fleet
Men like Johnnie Ray Bennett and Ben McDowell do not have to read a federal marine biologist's study to tell them sharks are thriving in the Atlantic Ocean. These Brunswick shrimp boat captains routinely see the evidence nowadays just about every time they pull in their trawl nets. After returning from a shrimping run Wednesday to the City Market docks, Bennett stood aboard the Flying Cloud and put his fist through one of many gaping holes in the net that hung from the rigging.,,, Marine biologists see the growing shark population as a sign of a healthy ocean ecosystem, and some folks would just rather not think about sharks in our waters at all. But for shrimpers these days, sharks are a downright nuisance. Shrimpers are spending as much time sewing patches in nets as they are dragging nets for shrimp. Click here to read the story 09:10

L.S. Heatherly's portrayal of Natural Selection completes Darwin's! Heatherly's Vision of Natural Selection of Culture(theory-thesis) redefines Literature, Human Sciences, Social Sciences, Philosophy, Developmental Psychology: REVEALS pristine Human Nature, Spirit, Being and Reality--our Development, Evolution, Well-being, and Sustainability within Earth's Ecosystem-Habitats.

Exiting Earth! Come In, Earth! Come In!
One Giant Step Toward Colonizing Space?
No, Just Looking for Feats Outside of Earth-life (outside of Biosphere):
Our Brother's Keeper? Or Physics and Technology's Sweep
Away from Earth-Life's evolved, conscious love!
"Contact, contact, contact!" [with Earth-life] -- Henry David Thoreau
Embrace Earth's life! This includes Us! -- L. S Heatherly
Technology -- the knack of so arranging the [artificial] world
that we don't have to experience it [the natural world].
-- Max Frisch
Technology -- the accelerating creation of an artificial world that
crowds out Earth-life's natural world and our engagement in Her lifeworld!
Earth created Life herself! She experienced the miracle of Life's conception herself! Life did not have to be transplanted from anywhere--
especially not from the unreachable, known universe!
Impregnated by sunlight reaching her carbon and water at the right time and spot!
A spark of life! Transforming just another life-less planet into the unfolding miracles of consciousness and love!
-- L.S. Heatherly
"Life is all there is, let it flower!" -- John Ruskin and Lewis Mumford
(quoted in The Last Human Spring)
"One just might laugh oneself to death at the space station's implied boast, by action, to Mother Earth:
"Look, Mom, what we did! True; they don't really see Mother Earth's life and evolved love!"
-- L.S. Heatherly
"Some scientists (one on PBS) boast that we don't have to worry about Humans
becoming extinct: We will have self-replicating machines to carry on for us!"
We now create abuses of human life; as science claims it can make
better use of it. We spend much of it creating cyberneticized machines, toys and
robots, hoping they will out-live mortal humans.
We are "cool"; and indifferently
watch as their employments artfully destroy pieces of Earth-life and Her humanity, in the name of the supremecy of the individual(ism) and branches of egoism-empire-sci-technic-commercial-materialistic delusions of grandeur --condescending to Earth's Life, Spirit and Soul. We worship at the entertaining alters of sci-technic arrogant usurpations of power-- from Earth-life's ecosystems and her masses of humanity.
-- L.S. Heatherly
"Life is an offensive [on Earth], directed against the repetitious mechanism of the universe."
-- Alfred North Whitehead
"The best defense is an offense; and Earth-life started her's fully with two main forms:
(a) individual and species reproduction and (b) natural selection of physical, mental,
social, spiritual and cultural attributes interacting with mutation, and (c) with
physical climate, ecological and sociocultural climatic attributes."
-- L.S. Heatherly
"From its first spark, Life went on to conquer one planet, removing it from,
setting it apart from, the life-less known universe, from the unreachable universe.
Earth, through its evolved miracles, especially its self-conscious loving species, is
is a trillion times more phenomenal, meaningful and precious than the known,
unreachable, lifeless universe as we can experience it. More astounding still, educated,
city-fied humankind can no longer, really, reach this wondrous, planet, jeweled with
life and love! They are, now, stranded in civilization as castaways from their
home of yester-time(s) and yester-being(s).
-- L.S. Heatherly
"When Earth-life evolved to social mammalian life, to conscious and self-conscious
primates( human and nonhuman); Earth attained to a sharp, brilliant, wonderful
quantitative difference, as well as a definitional difference, from all known planets.
A trillion times more precious, it should no longer be called a planet primarily. That is
derogatory, disrespectful and insulting to her as home and creater of her many infinitely
most prescious,species of life. She should not be called, merely, or firstly planet Earth.
A planet first in time only; because millions of years ago, she slowly tranformed into
a precious ecophere, biophere, Lifesphere.
We need a debate or stuggle of terms to arrive at a name for our Earth other than a term
denoting her secondary lifeless areas and elements. Yours truly used the term, Earthlifeworld,
some dozens of times in the major work, The Last Human Spring.
Planet, Earth-life, would also be more worthy a name for such preciousness. Surely,
human scientists, social scientists and life scientists that hold the Earth precious enough,
along with lay people, could bring about this failure of science to make a precious distinction
between Earth and many 1000s of known planets. This misnomer is a major factor in our
long abuse and toxicification of Earth's life and of Her humanity.
We can only do big challenging things if we have the heart to feel they must be done.
We are loosing contact with the Living Earth.
Will our last call be:
Come in, Earth! Come in!
All human species live through the inspiriations and relationships of the Living
Earth encradling us. Mother Earth has produced-- has created through Earth-life's
evolution-- millions of species of life, many thousands of sentient and conscious
species, and a fair number of self-conscious, social and loving species.
Post Modern, high-tech civilization has not and cannot create any conscious species
capable of ecological interaction and balance. Especially out of science's arrogant,
creative abilities are the sentient, conscious and self-conscious, social, loving species
seen in the gorilla, orangatan, chimp, bonobo and several human species of the past
and our own Homo sapiens.
The last is the species we innately, ecologically, sustainably belong to; but, from which
we are making our exit -- into an artificial, electronic, cybernetic, digital, robotic, virtual
creature. One marked by decline in naturally, ecologic, evolved senses, as well
as, by arrogance, delusions of granduer and ingratitude to Mother Earth (Gaia),
the only eco-sustainable life-creative system on Earth, or anywhere in the reachable
Unknowingly blind, we are, with escapist excitement, bidding Mother Earth, her human
nature, spirit, being, self-consciousness and natural, human love, farewell. We are
opening our minds and hearts, terminally to artificial, alien, anti-Earth(ecosphere),
and anti-human addictions. Therein, we entice our species along an artificial
pathway, leading toward human decimation/extinction.

I can't believe we're half way through 2017 already, it literally feels like yesterday I was writing my New Years resolutions post! Although the past six months has mainly consisted of A Levels, Ive managed to pack in lots of films, TV series, YouTube and travel and I'm here to tell you about all my new favourites I've discovered since January…
I know people are sick of reboots of old classics, but I wasn't even alive when Pamela Anderson and The Hoff were strutting their stuff down a Miami Beach, so for me, 'Baywatch 2017' was my first time watching the lifeguards in action and it didn't disappoint. The humour was just my style (mainly the jokes made about Zac Efron's character, Matt Brody) and I laughed the whole way through. So it might not have impressed everyone but its one of my faves of the year so far!
Another film thats made it to my half year favourites is 'Going In Style' starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Kane and Alan Arkin. It follows three pensioners attempting to gain enough money to retire and has comedy, action and very clever details in it's plot. If you liked 'Last Vegas' you'll love this!
Although its hard to watch Will Ferrel as anyone but Buddy the Elf, 'The House' is one of my favourite films of 2017 so far. If you haven't seen it, the basic plot is two parents trying to raise funds for their daughter to go to college who turn to a very unusual money-making scheme. Its full of over-the-top comedy and action and I'd definitely watch it again!
TV Shows
'The Halcyon' is BY FAR the best thing I've watched this year. Its a period drama set in WWII London and explores class, race sexuality, female leads and had me waiting for Monday EVERY week. Every single plot and relationship within the series was well thought out and got me genuinely emotional, so much so that it took 'Orange is the New Black' s number one spot on my list of all time favourite shows, and thats a big deal because I LIVE for OITNB. Sadly, it was cancelled after one season, but theres still eight hours of heart wrenching material out there that I'll be watching on repeat until I get over it.
I couldn't write this post without mentioning 'Girlboss'. I feel like every blogger to ever exist has heard of it, but just incase you haven't, its based on a true story and follows Sophia Aramuso on her journey to becoming a self-employed business woman and founder of clothing company 'Nasty Gal'. I watched this just after I came home from a trip to San Fransisco so the whole series gave me serious holiday blues as some of the sets were places I'd actually visited. Plus, the episodes were only 30 minutes each so I didn't need long to binge watch the whole thing! Again, it was cancelled after one season (I really know how to pick 'em) but the one series that was made was AMAZING!
Another TV show I LOVED in the first half of this year was 'Riverdale'. It gave me a lot of 'Pretty Little Liars' vibes but one series was packed with more answers than the whole 7 series of PLL! It was very unpredictable and, unlike the last two shows I mentioned, is coming back for a second season! Theres only 13 episodes so theres time to catch up before it comes back later this year!
Tara from 'Tar Mar' is 100% my favourite YouTuber so far this year! She lives in New York and makes videos all about NYC lifestyle, so anytime you need a dose of the big apple you can count on her! I also absolutely adore her blog and Instagram, her minimalistic style of photography is gorgeous and you can really see how much effort goes into everything she does!
The next channel I've been loving this year is 'Negative Feedback' which focuses (no pun intended) on film photography. The videos are very info-heavy but are VERY aesthetically pleasing to watch even if you're not interested in the ins and outs of cameras. One of my biggest loves is photography so I like seeing the whole process from shooting to the final images in the videos and they all have a really chill vibe thats easy to watch.
One of my favourite YouTubers of all time is Louise Pentland and I absolutely LOVE her weekly vlogs. I tend to save them for midweek when I need a bit of a pick me up and half an hour of escapism and they never fail to put me in a good mood. Louise recently announced that she's pregnant with her second child so the weekly vlogs are starting to include her pregnancy which is SO exciting for her as well as all her viewers! I'm sure SprinkleofChatter vlogs will continue to be some of my favourites for a long time.
One of the first ever YouTuber's I started watching back in 2012, before Zalfie was even a thing, was Alfie Deyes from Pointlessblog. I've always loved his vlogs but for the last couple of months I've been watching them every single day and I'll never get bored of them. I'm especially loving watching he and Zoe move into their new house and seeing the day to day progress they're making with it through his vlogs. Alfie's always so upbeat and positive so his vlogs really help me when I'm feeling unmotivated and give me something to look forward to everyday!
As I mentioned earlier, 'The Halcyon' has taken the top spot as my all time favourite TV series and in February on a family trip to London I managed to squeeze in a spontaneous visit to the building used for the exterior of the hotel! It was so surreal actually standing where a show I'd become so invested in was filmed and I don't think anything that happens this year will match up to the excitement I felt when I turned the corner and saw the building!
You may have seen my post about my birthday trip to New York earlier this year where I mentioned I went to see 'Kinky Boots' on Broadway and I can confirm that four months after coming home, I'm STILL singing the soundtrack everyday! It was honestly one of the best live performances I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing and I can't recommend it enough. I think I'll probably end up going to see it on the West End too because I just loooove it.
Although every experience during my America trip was special, Alcatraz was a stand out memory for me and is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. I love learning about anything to do with crime/prisons so Alcatraz had always been somewhere I'd dreamt of going and I was finally able to get there this year. I learned and experienced so much during my time on 'The Rock' and even got to meet a former guard! I couldn't not include this bucket list experience in my half year favourites!
So, thats all for my favourites so far this year, I really hope you enjoyed this post as its a bit different from what I've been writing so far. There'll also be a video going up on my channel all about my half year favourites if you'd like to watch. Leave a comment letting me know what some of your half year favourites are! Megan x

During February Micropore Technologies participated in a Market Visit to India led by NEPIC (the North East Process Industry Cluster) and supported by DIT, to further develop relationships established during a 2016 trade mission.
For Micropore the trip provided some useful connections from start to finish with a first order for a piece of scaled-up equipment in India being placed by an established client in Hyderabad during a meeting on the way out; to expressions of interests from a number of members of the KDPMA (Karnataka Drug and Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association) in Bangalore, including an agreement to work together with a specialist dermatological products supplier. There was also a first contact with Tata Chemicals in Pune and tangible interest being shown by a number of businesses following the ICC conference in Mumbai.
Overall Micropore are encouraged by the interest being shown generally by Indian businesses in their unique technology. "We'll be enthusiastically following up all of the contacts made during this trip and are eagerly looking forward to participating in a reciprocal trade visit being planned for June 2017, where we will get the chance to renew relationships with some of the contacts made and develop our relationships further" says Dai Hayward.

Manchester United 4 - Aston Villa 1: Rooney brace gives David Moyes a much needed boost
WAYNE ROONEY scored twice as Manchester United came from behind to secure a vital victory for boss David Moyes.
The hosts fell behind in 13th the minute after Ashley Westwood curled home a beautiful free-kick.
United levelled the score seven minutes later when Rooney headed home after getting on the end of a Shinji Kagawa cross.
The England striker then put the Red Devils in front from the penalty spot right on the just before half-time.

Villa had chances to draw level after half-time but wasted them and they were soon punished when Juan Mata netted his first goal for the club to put the game beyond Villa's reach.
Javier Hernandez netted United's fourth in the dying moments after good work on the left wing from Adnan Januzaj.
Angry fans went through with their protest and flew a banner over Old Trafford saying "Wrong One - Moyes Out" but the banner was met with boos.
United's victory leaves them two points behind Tottenham and 4 points behind fifth placed Everton.

Johnny Depp is set to play The Invisible Man in a new Universal Pictures movie. Depp has reportedly signed up to star in the sci-fi thriller – which has been adapted from H.G. Wells' 1897 novel – as scientist Griffin who discovers a formula that means he cannot be seen by other people but results in him going insane. The 52-year-old actor's character – who famously wears a wide-brimmed hat – eventually can only be seen by others by wrapping himself in bandages.
In the book, Griffin arrives in an English village and takes up lodgings at a local inn, only venturing out at night, but he eventually runs out of money to pay his board and is suspected of committing a burglary and ordered to leave. Griffin flees and coerces a tramp called Thomas Marvel to become his assistant, but the pair fall out and Marvel reports him to the police, which sparks a manhunt for the invisible man.

A powder is the basic cosmetics that most women have. How to wear the correct makeup also depends on how you apply face powder. Always use a special face powder sponge to flatten the powder. Avoid using fingers or hands when applying powder, because the powder will not be evenly distributed. Meanwhile, you may want to buy the Hollywood Mirror if you wish to have a professional makeup mirror.
Use a thin powder so you do not look too white. In addition to applying the powder to all parts of the face, apply the powder on the neck so that your skin tone more visible evenly.
Image Eyebrow from Outside to
We have to admit that most women tend to have a habit of drawing eyebrows from the inside out. In fact, how to draw the right eyebrows is to start from the outside and then into the. Because the eyebrows require a firm definition at the edges, so it would be better if you draw eyebrows from the inside out.
Choose an eyebrow shape that matches your face. Good eyebrows should not be too thick, because the eyebrows are too thick will look similar to caterpillars or seaweed. In the market, there are eyebrow pencil products with a variety of color choices. If you want to use an eyebrow pencil to appear casual every day, you should choose a dark brown eyebrow pencil which will look more natural.

The garden was going to wait this year while I train for a 7-day stage mountain bike race, but I couldn't bare the thought of not having certain vegetables I grew to depend on each season. This year more than ever, with the high prices of produce, several plants just had to be planted. You saw the 453-onion patch in an earlier post. Today, I planted 72 broccoli plants, mounded up the sweet potato rows for 50 slips coming in a couple weeks, and dug the potato trench for the Red Norland seed potato Donna's neighbors Andre and Diane so kindly shared. Donna and I will split them in the fall. The spinach is coming up and the kale over-wintered and is coming back. I love spring... I wish I was retired!
Retired. Living simply and frugally. Eating healthy, home-grown, local organic food. Avoiding GMOs, processed, packaged, and shipped foods to be more kind to mother earth. Gardening is my passion.

Onion and Broccoli Planting Time
The onion folks sent me WAY too many onions this year. They normally include extras to replace the spindly plants, but this year they doubled my order of 240 plants. What was to be no garden this year is turning out to be bigger than ever. 453 onion plants went in, 28 broccoli plants, and another 40 broccoli plants are waiting in the wings. Spinach, kale, peas and parsley seeds were planted too. So much for not much of a garden!

I'm The writer, photographer and travel lover behind this lifestyle blog.
Here we celebrate the beauty of balance in everyday life! And the journey of making ourselves uncomfortable.
First off thank you so much for being here! While this is a personal blog and I only suggest items I actually use (plus love!), if you click a link I may receive compensation. This simple thing helps me keep my site ad free.
20 April, 2017
April 20, 2017
It always takes me a bit to get on board with the newest trend. And I'm not quite sure why. I'm sure some of it is being skeptical of the new "it thing." I've never been one to immediately run out to Sephora for the latest limited edition release and I think it took a solid two years for me to finally hopBu to be quite honest the one trend that just didn't even make any sense to me – facial oils. I have combo skin… why on earth would I put m o r e oil on it?
But after my first successful beauty oil, Caudalíe's Detox oil is a dreamy mix of exfoliator and oil, I found myself hooked. A complete bandwagoner. Who was unwilling to pay the steep price of serums, I found facial oils helped boost my skincare in ways most moisturizers couldn't.
It's true you really should know this no matter what you are adding to your skincare, but I find it especially so with facial oils. While facial oils can drastically improve evenness and clarity, it can also exasperate conditions as well. You don't want to invest in an oil that ultimately makes you regret trying out the latest and greatest area of skincare.
If you are struggling to figure out your skin type I would suggest starting with this guide to at the very least get you noticing what's best.
I say this for two reasons. One – for your own health! I have some odd allergies to certain products (lavender oil always seems to make my skin more fussy) and that can be extremely frustrating even though it's 'organic.' And two, for the wealth of your bank account! I've started to notice lots of companies offering up fluff products with unrealistic promises disguised as 'high quality game changers.'
Not everything is created equal.
Tea tree oils will be perfect for skin types needing help with clarity and tone, whereas Rose Hip oil can aid more mature, drier skin with clarity and more moisture. And while squalene can intrigue you – it certainly isn't worth the $50 price tag that's often associated with it.
To start out you need to define what you want –
more moisture?
less oil?
even skin tone?
All of these are valid concerns (and some of my own) that can actually be addressed with different beauty oils.
For those looking for more moisture and a bit more skin loving I would say my all time favorite – Pai Rosehip Bioregenerate Oil is a great answer. It's been featured more times than I can count on abp, as it's an amazing serum like oil that helps your skin reap the benefits that often pricier products can't deliver. (A big selling point for me is it also really helps out even out skin tone!) And while it may seem contradictory to rely on an oil to resolve oil build up I've found Herbivore's Lapis oil to be such a lovely answer for my often oily skin. Their balancing oil has surprised me at it's ability to to keep me moisturized without an oily slick is most likely due to
Beauty oils aren't near as intimidating as peels and exfoliators, but they can super confusing and a bit odd to wrap your head around. Though I've found doing your research and being patient are the keys to finding one that works for you.
Do you have a beauty oil you are dedicate to? Or one you can't stop dreaming about?

The negative information was that i'm a reasonably severe late-phase about-pronator. This means that Though I land effectively, once my foot hits the ground, my foot/arch collapses inward causing knee and Achilles tendon discomfort.

Devoid of resting your knees in opposition to the wall, hold your knees in the bent posture for two seconds after which you can return to your starting situation. Repeat the procedure, but this time go your knees at a 30 degree angle to the correct. The movement ought to originate from the ankles and never by rotating your toes or twisting your hips. Repeat a third time transferring your knees at a thirty degree angle towards the remaining. As soon as you're at ease with this standard knee pointer training, development to performing the workout on just one leg. Finally, phase even further from the wall and equilibrium on 1 leg.

A drawstring closure secures the shoe, and that is a distinct departure through the Velcro closures on just about every other FiveFinger shoe.

Landing on the heel results in needless braking on just about every stride. Essentially the most productive runners land around the mid-foot and preserve their strides sleek and fluid. Landing to the forefoot also permits your arches to act as purely natural shock absorbers.

I'm continuing my love affair with Linnie Blooms canvas shapes, and this time I am playing with a "long canvas blank". It is a layer of cotton batting between a blank cotton canvas and a printed cotton layer on the back, size 12"x5".
Just like the other smaller Linnie Blooms shapes that I've played with before, I love the way this texture absorbs any medium I throw at it. Today---acrylic paint! I used some Scotch blue painters tape and created a chevron pattern. I did not measure---just laid down the tape in what looked like straight chevrons to my eyes. I like the way it looked when I aligned them off center. Make sure you push down hard to adhere the tape to the blank so that you don't get any seepage.
I spread the acrylic paint directly on the canvas with a foam brush using a light gray and canary yellow. As you can see, there is no need to be neat about it!
To create the jar, I traced a clip art jar shape onto some velum paper and cut it out. I inked the edges and then highlighted the thread and reflection lines with some Rock Candy Stickles. I attached the jar to the canvas by sewing on a few stitches (can't have any adhesive showing)! It's difficult to see in the photo but there are wire stems wrapped with twine that I hot glued to the back of the felt flowers--they run down into the jar so the flowers don't look like they are just free-floating.
Yes, those are Linnie Blooms leaf shapes in between my felt flowers (a Sizzix die). I swiped some Distress Stain on those leaves to add a splash of color. Then, I plucked some random buttons from my stash and slid a few seed beads onto the threads as I attached the felt flowers to the canvas.
Lastly, I printed the sentiment on some cute pink/khaki gingham paper. I dried the ink with a heat gun to make sure it was really dry before painting a layer of Modge Podge over it to add some texture.
I loved this project SO much, that I've decided that this was the first in a series of seasonal blanks. Coming soon---fall! I better hurry, it's already September!

Our violent introduction to the insectoid Clatadatha race; and the establishment of a number of tragic firsts.
By Dr. Priemark Bandii Berus- UFP Historical Section
The Soyus class cruiser USS Moscow [Mokba] (NCC-18756) was dispatched to the Proxima Arcanus sector, to provide support for Federation colonists in the local Guardhouse System (so named because of the systems role in the early Earth-Romulan wars in the 22nd Century). The colonies are located on the second and third planets of the system, orbiting around a class 3 yellow star, in a system of eleven planets in total. The two larger colonies are located on Guardhouse II, with its lush semi-tropical environment and altogether beautiful local geography. For this reason, after over thirty years of prosperous existence, there are nearly one million inhabitants between the two growing ocean side colonies.
There is also a smaller colony located on he third planet out from the central star, Guardhouse III. Barely on the cusp between a class M and class L planet, the smaller colony population was no doubt a powerful testament to the difficult conditions there, for barely 100,000 colonists and their families inhabited the planet.
Approximately four hours out from Guardhouse III at a cruising warp speed of 6.2, the Moscow [Mokba] received a distress call from the Malingala colony on Guardhouse III. Apparently, they were under an intense assault by a substantial force of small, unidentified craft and that some ground troops had materialized in the colonys central square. Immediately thereafter, the signal was either blocked or terminated.
The Moscow [Mokba] immediately went to warp 9.15 and arrived at Guardhouse III in under 25 minutes. While viscous fighting was still in progress, it sensor showed that the colonists were terribly out-matched against the attackers fast and lethal spacecraft. The small ships the attackers were flying were fast and they had tremendously impressive handling characteristics. Their powerful weapons seemed to be particle beam devices with a tremendous punch. Further, each ship had a fairly sophisticated self contained shield system with excellent dispersal characteristics. This was in addition to the inertial dampening field and the structural integrity systems such vehicles would have to possess. We could not determine the vehicle power source due to its incredibly effective engine shielding.
These dark ominous little ships were firing very effective particle beam weapons that we could not apply our recently installed dampening technologies due to the problems with locking on to such quick and maneuverable to get enough of the dampening field on them to have any substantive effect. Amazingly, the Moscows sensors indicated that the output of the attackers beam weapons was nearly equivalent to the megawatts produced by a class T2Da multi-modality phaser compliment.
The Moscows captain launched three class 15 shuttles, all armed with twin phaser banks. Further he called out the ships delta flyer shuttle (type NX-21). After regrouping, all four craft ran on heading to the planets surface to provide some air support for the colonist now under siege.
The 15s engaged the enemy almost immediately, damaging several enemy ships without disabling any of them. However, in less than a quarter of an hour, all three 15s were down and their pilots killed. The 21 managed to persevere for nearly an hour before being ambushed by several of the attackers ships firing a relentless barrage of energy bursts. Although she did manage to completely evaporate three attacking ships, this barrage vaporized the 21 in midair.
At this, the captain of the Moscow became frantic and elected to send down a good number of our best trained ground troops-basically teenaged boys with lots of brawn and pretty good brains. Further, he ordered the transport of several ground based automated phaser weapon for additional AA support.
However, these unknown attackers were waiting for this move on the Moscows part and as the starship dropped it shields, dozens of the small ships de-cloaked and converged on the ship like a hive of angry bees, firing wildly and striking the unshielded Moscow in numerous critical systems. The crew of the Moscow responded almost immediately with volleys of photon torpedoes and phaser fire, but it was already too late.
As a handful of lifeboats launched from the mortally wounded Moscow, the ship started to break apart after absorbing an incredible degree of enemy weapon hits. Suddenly, the saucer section blew away from the engineering hull, the frontal section spinning wildly out of control like a medallion tossed into space. The engineering hull, minus the warp nacelles, started falling backwards and downward towards the planets surface. The edges of the damaged ship start to glow lightly orange as the engineering section entered the thin atmosphere of Guardhouse III.
The saucer section continued spiraling away from the explosion, still spinning wildly out of control, with one or two additional lifeboats managing to get away from the very damaged starship command section Suddenly the saucer section decomposes in the flash of a powerful explosion, tearing it apart at the seams and into a million pieces of so much space debris.
Meanwhile, the engineering hull is careening down towards the planets surface, tumbling clumsily as it flies through the dark blue skies of Guardhouse III. The ship leaves a white contrail in the frigid atmosphere with a smoky gray tail following just behind that. The hulk of the engineering section is awash in flames and explosions as it marks its way to its final demise. It clearly appeared to observers on the ground that the burning wreck would pass right over the colony and crash the Moscow into the mountains just Northwest of the main city.
But ground observers had no idea that the beginnings of an matter/antimatter containment breach began when the ship was first blown in half. The countdown was on as the engineering hull with the warp core contained within nearing its flash point. Just as the Moscows remains passed over the embattled colony, about 15 kilometers over the main city, the Moscows warp core finally breached and a tremendous explosion resulted, as always. The core breach had a force equivalent to the force of about 50 megatons of trinitrotoluene.
The colony, its inhabitants, its defenders and its attackers were all decimated in the blast. Then the radioactive fallout that followed the event manages to spread around the entire planet in about 72 hours. This account was assembled from recovered EMF messages and a probe launched by the Moscow just prior to its demise, as well as the eyewitness accounts of 83 Moscow survivors and a few hundred survivors on the planets surface (people who resided away from the main city).
This incident, as we learned later, was out introduction and first contact with the Clatadatha species, an insectoid exoskeletal based intelligent life form, called "chiggers" by their opponents as we all learned later. This incident represents the first and only time to date that a warp core breach has resulted in significant Federation citizen deaths, especially in their own area of habitation.
[NOTE: The Clatadatha conflict lasted less than three months without the loss of a single additional starship. In fact, throughout the rest of the conflict there were only fourteen additional Federation casualties and this was all in ground troops that stormed the Clatadatha home world at Mendaxx IV, in the Echo Urianai system.
Like most intelligent insectoid based life forms, the Clatadatha are an extremely xenophobic and paranoid race, preferring to remain entirely apart from the Quadrants other life forms, including other insectoid life forms. They are, however, especially weary of humanoid life forms, including humans. In fact, the Clatadatha leaders maintain a very powerful propaganda mechanism in their social order and there is a frightening degree of anti-humanoid content in the governments message to the masses. From all observations, it appears that the whole of Clatadatha society accept this as a fact and are extremely uncomfortable, often almost to the point of illness, in the presence of humanoid aliens.
For this reason, the Echo Urianai system is marked off limits on all official navigation maps, in addition to the numerous marker buoys placed around the edge of the entire binary star system and its 16 planets, 4 overrun with Clatadatha colonies.
Despite the enormous casualties suffered at Guardhouse III, the Federation has managed to keep this entire conflict under secure status with less than 0.003% of Star Fleet personnel even allowed basic access to the information described herein.

Building A "Republic of Letters" Beyond Anglocentrism: A Conversation with Alex Gil
Digital Scholars is pleased to welcome Alex Gil for its final meeting of the semester. Gil joins us via videoconference from Columbia University, where he is Digital Scholarship Coordinator for the Butler Humanities and History Division of the University Libraries (with affiliate status in the Department of English and Comparative Literature, and in the Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures). Informed by his specializations in twentieth-century Caribbean literature and textual studies, Gil's own postcolonialist fantasies have spawned large-scale projects that attempt to re/discover the multilingual and multinational scope of DH work, including the Global Outlook:Digital Humanities (GO:DH) initiative, and "Around DH in 80 Days," launched in 2014 to "address[] the challenge of multi-directional and reciprocal visibility in an asymmetric field."
"Around DH …" began as a Scalar-based, crowd-sourced mapping project, and ultimately featured hundreds of submissions from scholars around the globe. These and other of Gil's projects simultaneously stem from and support three goals: (1) building digital platforms that support "minimal" editions of literary texts; (2) fostering open-source platforms to support postcolonial translation and pedagogy; and (3) making pathways for digital humanists to contend with a diverse intellectual kósmos.
Participants are invited to read the following in advance of our meeting:
- Gil, Alex. "The (Digital) Library of Babel" 06 June 2014 Keynote Address at DH Summer Institute, Victoria, B.C.
- Triad of "Thought Pieces" in Minimal Computing: Alex Gil, "The User, the Learner and the Machines We Make" 21 May 2015; Jentery Sayers, "Minimal Definitions" 02 October 2016; and Anne B. McGrail, "Open Source in Open Access Environments" 17 February 2017
- Argamon, Shlomo, et al. "Vive la Différence! Text Mining Gender Difference in French Literature." Digital Humanities Quarterly 3.2 (2009).
and to browse the following projects:
For additional context or related conversations, participants are also invited to read:
- McPherson, Tara. "Why Are the Digital Humanities So White? or Thinking the Histories of Race and Computation." Chapter 9 in Gold, ed., Debates in the Digital Humanities (2013 online edition)
- Gallon, Kim. "Making a Case for the Black Digital Humanities." Chapter 4 in the Gold and Klein, eds., Debates in the Digital Humanities (2016 online edition)
All are welcome! We hope you can join us,

The technology and treatment options for consumers of dental care have greatly improved over the last 20 years. The new dentistry now provides you with the opportunity of maintaining your natural teeth throughout your life. One of the ways this is accomplished is by referral to a dental specialist to treat specific dental problems.
When dentists refer you to a specialist, your understanding of the problem and decision for treatment is vital in determining a specialized dental plan. The plan for your dental health and your general dentist's overall goals often depend on these specialized resources.
When you are referred to a dental specialist, he or she becomes a part of your dental team. Although your specialist will give you information about the reasons for the referral and the treatment, there are also some active steps you can take to increase your participation in the dentistry treatment and healing process.
A query of dental specialists indicates that there are some questions that they would like you to ask to enhance the treatment outcomes they seek as a result of your dental plan. Answers to the following questions will often augment the information provided by your general dentist and enable you to clarify any further questions you may have about the specialized treatment you are receiving.
These four questions will help you gain insight into the disease process that led to the need for dental care treatment and the prevention and self-care measures you can incorporate into your life to avoid future problems. With this information, you can also work with your general dentist and the dental team to maintain your dental health plan.
Specialized dental care for your dental needs is one of the ways the new dentistry has brought innovations in diagnosis and treatment to benefit consumers.

Q. What is endodontics?
A. Endodontics is the area of dentistry that specifically deals with what is called the pulp within a tooth.
Q. What is dental pulp?
A. The dental pulp is a soft tissue comprised of tiny arteries, veins, nerves and lymph vessels for the tooth.
Q. Where does the term root canal come from?
A. The tooth is comprised of three basic components. The first component is the crown/enamel, which is seen by the naked eye.
The next level of the tooth is dentin, which is under the enamel and the "housing" for the dental pulp. The final component is the dental pulp and is the core of the tooth. This bulk of the dental pulp is in the center of the tooth or the pulp chamber, and is connected to the Mandibular Canal through the root canals. The root canals are like veins for the dental pulp.
Q. What does the procedure root canal mean?
A. Root canal has become a term for a procedure involving the dental pulp. When the dental pulp has been exposed and damaged, it must be treated professionally and this process is usually referred to as getting a root canal.
Q. What does a root canal procedure entail?
A. Once the dental pulp has been infected, it must be removed from both the pulp chamber and the root canals. Once it has been removed, the pulp chamber and root canals are thoroughly cleaned and enlarged. Based on the level of infection, the dentists may choose to clean the area more than once. After the area is free of infection, the dentist will fill the root canals and pulp chamber with a filling that will prevent any bacteria from entering the area. Finally, the dentist will place a crown over the tooth to restore it to its original shape.
Q. What causes dental pulp to become damaged or infected?
A. Normally, when a deep cavity occurs, it exposes the dental pulp to the bacteria inside the mouth. When exposed to this bacteria, the dental pulp can become infected and thus cause the inside of the tooth to be infected.
Q. What can happen if infected dental pulp is not treated?
A. Overtime, the infected pulp will die. At the same time, pus from the infection will develop at the base of the tooth and cause an abscess to form. If this occurs, it is not uncommon for the abscess to cause the bone holding the tooth to deteriorate. If this deterioration becomes too severe, the tooth will fall out.
Q. What role does the computer play in the dental care industry?
A. In the future, patient records may be kept on computer disks, including visual images captured on intraoral cameras. A computerized workstation beside the patient's chair will give the dentist the ability to view the patient's history from disk.
Also, the dentist might use a voice-recognition system to ask the computer to assist in finding that data, or create a "before and after" image so the patient can preview the result of dental work before it is done.

"Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized."
~ Allan Armitage
As if you need me to tell you that gardening's good for you, good for us!
Couple of weeks ago, my friend Annie and I built a little garden for her granddaughter Lola. Annie lives in the San Fernando Valley. It took us two days! We joked about marketing our "business" as Slow Grannies Gardening!
It was heavenly!
Who knew that gardening is therapeutic? Everyone! For a long time.
6 Unexpected Health Benefits of Gardening lists many of the wonderful ways:
- Stress-relief and self-esteem
- Heart health and stroke risk
- Hand strength and dexterity
- Brain health and Alzheimer's risk
Researchers found daily gardening to represent the single biggest risk reduction for dementia, reducing incidence by 36%. Another study estimated the risk reduction at 47%! Why does gardening make such a difference? Alzheimer's is a mysterious disease, and the factors influencing its incidence and progression remain poorly understood. However gardening involves so many of our critical functions, including strength, endurance, dexterity, learning, problem solving, and sensory awareness, that its benefits are likely to represent a synthesis of various aspects.
- Immune regulation *
- Depression and mental health
Plenty of your friends and neighbors have probably mentioned what a "lift" they get from a morning's sweat amongst the lettuces and radishes. To add professional legitimacy to anecdotal claims, the growing field of "horticultural therapy" is giving proven results for patients with depression and other mental illnesses. The benefits appear to spring from a combination of physical activity, awareness of natural surroundings, cognitive stimulation and the satisfaction of the work. To build the therapeutic properties of your own garden, aim for a combination of food-producing, scented, and flowering plants to nourish all the senses. Add a comfortable seat so you can continue to bask in the garden while you rest from your labors. Letting your body get a little hot and sweaty might also have hidden benefits: as devotees of hot baths and saunas can attest, elevated body temperatures are also correlated with increased feelings of well-being. Don't forget to drink plenty of water and know your limits.
Read the whole article; it's truly delightful!
Petal Power: Why Is Gardening So Good For Our Mental Health? in Psychology Today explains the science behind the benefits:
- Looking after plants gives us a sense of responsibility.
- Gardening allows us all to be nurturers.
- Gardening keeps us connected to other living things.
It doesn't matter if we are seven or seventy, male, female or transgender, gardening underlines that we are all nurturers. Horticulture is a great equalizer: plants don't give a fig who is tending them and for those with mental health problems to be able to contribute to such a transformative activity can help boost self-esteem.
- Gardening helps us relax and let go.
- Working in nature releases happy hormones.
- Being amongst plants and flowers reminds us to live in the present moment.
- Gardening reminds us of the cycle of life, and thus come to terms with that most universal of anxieties: death.
- Some aspects of gardening allow us to vent anger and aggression…
- …whilst others allow us to feel in control.
- Last but not least, gardening is easy.
Read this one too! It's worth it.
Why Gardening Makes You Happy and Cures Depression explains the two gardening "highs":
Getting down and dirty is the best 'upper' – Serotonin
Getting your hands dirty in the garden can increase your serotonin levels – contact with soil and a specific soil bacteria, Mycobacterium vaccae, triggers the release of serotonin in our brain according to research. Serotonin is a happy chemical, a natural anti-depressant and strengthens the immune system. Lack of serotonin in the brain causes depression.
Harvest 'High' – Dopamine
Another interesting bit of research relates to the release of dopamine in the brain when we harvest products from the garden. The researchers hypothesise that this response evolved over nearly 200,000 years of hunter gathering, that when food was found (gathered or hunted) a flush of dopamine released in the reward centre of brain triggered a state of bliss or mild euphoria. The dopamine release can be triggered by sight (seeing a fruit or berry) and smell as well as by the action of actually plucking the fruit.
Strengthening the Case for Organic ~ Glyphosate residues deplete your Serotonin and Dopamine levels
Of course, for all of the above to work effectively and maintain those happy levels of serotonin and dopamine, there's another prerequisite according to another interesting bit of research I found. It appears it will all work much better with organic soil and crops that haven't been contaminated with Roundup or Glyphosate-based herbicides. This proviso also extends to what you eat, so ideally you'll avoid consuming non-organic foods that have been grown in farmland using glyphosates.
*If you're wondering about the whole dirt, microbes, immune system thing, Dirt has a microbiome, and it may double as an antidepressant offers a thorough, understandable explanation:
There's now pretty good evidence to draw at least an outline of a conclusion: Breathing in, playing in, and digging in dirt may be good for your health. Our modern, sterilized life in sealed-off office buildings and homes are likely not. Researchers have already found clear evidence that childhood exposure to outdoor microbes is linked to a more robust immune system; for example, Bavarian farm children who spent time in family animal stables and drank farm milk had drastically lower rates of asthma and allergies throughout their lives than their neighbors who did not.
The writing here in Vegetable Gardening as Therapy is fun and funny; the information is reliable and useful:
*Gardening Gets Us Out of Our Heads.
*Gardening is Exercise.
*"Nature Calms Us."
That doesn't happen in nature. You're rendered … decisionless. When's the last time you went on a walk in the forest or a field and decided it needed a little rearranging. Maybe a row of Billy bookcases. It isn't an option so you don't even think about it. In nature you completely give up control. And the need to control things is what causes a LOT of stress. Giving up that control is incredibly calming.
Of course in vegetable gardening you're constantly trying to control everything from bugs to blight but that ruins my point so let's ignore that.
*Gardening is Nurturing.
I've shared my gardening opinions and advice here before, as I write to figure out this little blog:
Stop! Smell this Rose! (includes a resource list which is still relevant, perhaps useful)
I Moved a Garden … and More Unsolicited Gardening Advice
Annie & I included a garden "tee-pee" for peas and beans to climb. It's another great way to "grow up," especially in smallish spaces. Three easy samples here:
How to Make A Bamboo Tepee in a Minute
Kids Gardening: Build a Bean Teepee
How To Make An Easy DIY Bean Teepee
And a final nod to the butterflies. Plant Milkweed! If you only plant one plant, plant Milkweed! The Monarchs will thank you!
Project Milkweed and the Xerces Society's new Managing Monarchs in the West are a great place to start.

One of our foreign correspondents looks at Cold War.
A Far Flung Correspondent takes a look at the Paul Newman classic The Hustler.
Justice Singleton held an event about her father at this year's Cannes.
Two more premieres from Cannes - new films from Marco Bellochio & Arnaud Desplechin.
Since he started as film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times in 1967, and began covering movies locally and at international film festivals, Roger Ebert has met and interviewed countless movie idols, artists and unknowns -- some of them even before they became famous. There's hardly a major figure in the history of movies, from the last part of the 20th century into the 21st, that he hasn't encountered.
I met Dalton Trumbo only once, five years ago, but he made an impression I've not forgotten. The meeting was for lunch, long and leisurely, on the occasion of the opening of his film, "Johnny Got His Gun." Trumbo had directed the film at the age of 66, from a novel he wrote when he was 33. In the lifetime between those two ages he had been the highest-paid writer in Hollywood, had spent 10 months in prison and had won an Academy Award under a false name.
He sat at a table in the Playboy Club and smoked one cigaret after another. There was a white wine on the list he rather liked, and he ordered two bottles so the second would also be chilled. He wore a luxuriant white moustache and an expensively tailored suit, and his voice was cultured beneath the cigaret rasp. There was a word for him, and after 10 minutes it occurred to me: Trumbo was courtly.
He was not going to be hurried into an interview, as if this were only business. The occasion was lunch, and the occasion would be observed. He would have the eggs benedict. He would recall previous visits to Chicago, he would inquire what movies I'd liked recently, he would regard our Playboy bunny with grave attention.
"I feel a bit shy," he confessed, after she had leaned forward in her brief costume to fill his wineglass. "I've never been in one of these places before. You know, I was born in Colorado, and I remember the first self-starting automobile that drove into town. And I flew here today on a 747. That's too damned much for one lifetime."
And that was leaving out all the things that had happened in between. When his father grew ill, the family moved to California, and Trumbo worked for eight years in a bakery, working all night and then trying to keep his eyes open the next day at UCLA. After several false starts, he'd gotten a $75-a-week job in one of the screenplay factories all the studios maintained in the 1930s. Most of the writers sank; some swam. By the 1940s, after movies like "Kitty Foyle" and "30 Seconds Over Tokyo," Trumbo was earning $75,600 a script. He liked to write all night, with his typewriter on a board across the bathtub.
By the war's end, Trumbo and Ben Hecht were the two best-known screenwriters in America. But then the McCarthy era began, and the House Un-American Activities Committee initiated its witch-hunt for Communists in the film industry. Trumbo, who had once been a member of the Communist Party, refused to answer the committee's questions on the constitutional grounds that his answers were none of its business. He was courageous and witty, and before long he was unemployed, and the best-known member of the Hollywood Ten.
After a prison sentence for contempt, Trumbo went into exile and turned out dozens of scripts under pseudonyms: "I wrote under Irish names, Jewish names, whatever they needed." His price per screenplay fell to $3,000, and he was kept very busy, because at that price he was a bargain. In 1956 he wrote a script called "The Brave Ones" under the name of Robert Rich, and in 1957 "Rich" won an Oscar for it. No one walked up to the podium to claim the award, but in a way it foretold the end of the blacklist.
"You know. I've still never picked up that Oscar," Trumbo said. "It weighs 18 pounds, and it doesn't pack flat, and you're in a lot of trouble if you have to leave town in a hurry." He lit another cigaret, "Besides," he said, "it doesn't have my name on it."
Otto Preminger brought Trumbo out of exile in 1960, to write the screenplay for "Exodus." Trumbo chuckled at the memory. "The book weighed 14 pounds and had 390 characters, and Otto needed a screenplay in three weeks. We started on Dec. 16. I remember Christmas Eve, Otto impatiently watching my family unwrap gifts. I believe he had to restrain himself front opening the gifts for them, to speed along the process, you know."
Then came the screenplays for "Spartacus," "Hawaii," and one of Trumbo's favorites, "Lonely are the Brave"" in which Kirk Douglas played a modern American cowboy holding out against progress. Opinion on Trumbo was divided. He was accused of morals that were too obvious, of preaching, of scripts with tough skins and soft centers. His best scenes, one critic charged, were not in his movies but before HUAC.
There were good reviews, though, for "Additional Dialogue," his collected correspondence, published in 1970. And the next year there was finally his film version of "Johnny Got His Gun," the classic antiwar novel he'd written in 1939. It had a horrifying premise: That a soldier who'd lost his arms and legs and half his face in World War I could survive for years in a hospital with a mind still fully capable of thought.
Dalton Trumbo died of a heart attack Friday in Los Angeles. He was 70 years old. When I heard the news I remembered one of the last things he'd said during our lunch. His movie had won three awards at Cannes, and he'd admitted he was proud of that: "I finally had to direct the damned thing myself," he said, "because I was old enough to have been there, to remember what it was like. I'm older than everybody. I'm even older than Preminger." He poured himself another glass of wine. "I wanted the movie to be good," he said, "because the novel is obviously the best thing I've ever done. Maybe the one good thing I've done."

I quite often feel like writing a post when I am no where near a computer. This might be because I am so very good at avoiding doing what is expected of me when things are expected of me: I procrastinate like no bodys business. In fact I am so good at procrastinating that I have developed a way of fooling myself into believing I am procrastinating while getting stuff done. Everyone who is reading this and NOT waiting on me to finish their website/determine accommodation in the USA/post that letter/tell them about my new job will believe my every word.
And now I have determined that I can type out a post via my iPhone and post to my blog while no where near my 'computer' (see what I did there?) I shall decide upon another, more convoluted reason not to blog.
Which is nuts because it is something I like doing.
But I find it hard since I lost my angry. Remember back when i worked for the learning curve? Eating curries and being furious all the time? It wasglorious blog-fodder. Now I am not angry anymore: well not _all_ the time: I got pretty damn furious with a "third party provider" the other day but had to store the bile away because no one seems to realise how he is Ripping Us Off with his ignorance.
But it passed with only a few extra fractures due to braxisms.
Mostly these days I am either happy or sad - the drunkywunky post was unusual and it was a little of column a masking column b.
And another thing: I started nanowrimo this year a whole month earlier and included november as well and managed to write less than any previous year despite having an actual storyline, plot and pretty decent character development.
I am unclear as to the point I am trying to make. Are you?

Belle (aka the Walking Disaster) came home the other night and it was pretty obvious that she had something in her eye besides an eyeball. This is not the first time it's happened, for not only is she too stupid to come in out of the rain, she's also too stupid to close here eyes when there's all kinds of crap getting them as she runs through fields of seeding rye grass and all other manner of sharp, pointy flora (which we seem to have more than our four share of).
She wasn't making a big deal about it, but I've learned not to be fooled by her (don't forget this is a dog that failed to mention her leg was shattered and her hip socket broken). I think that one of the reason's she gets so injured so often is that she has such a high threshold of pain. Anyway, I had a quick look and decided that whatever it was, it would probably just come out in a tear-drop, leaving me with four scientists and a submarine in my living room*.
By the following morning her eye seemed to have swollen quite a bit, so I took a closer look and saw what at first appeared to be an eyelash, but later proved something else entirely. The picture on the right was all I could see, and it really did look like an eyelash at first, but when I looked closer I discovered that it not only didn't come from the eyelid like all the other eyelashes, but it seemed to have something connected to that disappeared out of sight beneath the lower eyelid. No matter how hard I tried it just wouldn't budge, plus I didn't have enough hands to hold her steady, keep her eye open and grab the object at the same time. The was nothing else to do but panic, which I've gotten quite good at since Belle entered my life.
I called the Vet and told them that I'd like to pay for one of their kid's education, so they told me to come on in. Here's where it gets interesting. I was worried about looking silly because I couldn't get it out by myself, but in the end, each of the things I mentioned in the previous paragraph required a separate person, meaning it took three to finally get it out. And while it didn't go so far as having the Vet standing on the table with his foot on her head, two hands straining at the object gripped with a pair of pliers and a pop like a champagne cork when it finally came out…it was pretty darned close.
In the end, it took me holding her firmly and calming her, the Vet holding her eye open while squeezing the object forward, and a vet tech easing it out with a pair of pliers. So what could possibly take this much effort just to get out of her eye?
May I present…"the object".
No Belle post is complete without a picture of the Walking Disaster, so here's the one that goes with the story, this is after we got home.
* Fot those who didn't get the reference.
