OMG these are amazing! AND a chance to win!
Well I think I am REALLY glad I knit the girl some warm and fuzzy's! OMG she is now IN the snow! LOL And taking time to enjoy her life! Looks beautiful...the girl and the surroundings!
Beautiful crisp Fall day in Mountain View! Vernon and I got dressed and took the G-boy out for a much needed walk outside, we have all been too cooped up! And G-boy is crabby!
You know what? I love WGB! he just took off with G-boy! When we got back from out walk WGB decided to take the G-Boy to the Exploratorium!
It has to be very hard for him! First off WGB does not talk or deal well about death... And the person being mourned by my kids is my Ex. It has been filling up our living space...but we are ok with that...it is just hard! I just love how much he loves and respects me. He anticipates needs and just takes off with G-boy as he said for ADVENTURE!!!The kid has been cooped up so much he needs to see and experience something joyful! They are off to the Exploratorium in SF.
Then Vernon and Desi took off...WTF? So now I am alone for awhile...reflecting...
November is mine field of emotional land mines for me and now it has gotten even worse! First off, my ex died on the 15th, his autopsy was performed on the 18th which was our first date anniversary. Then he was cremated on his birthday the 22nd and today would have been our wedding anniversary...it is all just too much. I am glad we are not doing the spreading of his ashes in November...its all just too much!
WGB bouncing literally around the bed trying to get me up and me on the bottom photo with the dirty look! LMAO....two different kind of morning people for sure! It makes me grateful that we are different an yet balance eachother...although first thing in the morning is a little much for me.
My kids were talking about how their dad died and I was journaling, when my daughter saw this she thought it was perfect...She wants a copy of it...
Today was another rough day, my daughter insisted on seeing the car and getting anything that was in it. She had a melt down. The car was bad.
Then the poor kid had anxiety attacks ALL the way home for 3 hours. I am exhausted and drained.
This was back in 84 or 85 at Knotts Berry Farm.
This has had to be one of the worst days of my life.I am drained, tired and exhausted. Now for my kids, let the healing begin.
We were lucky I found Holiday Inn Express - Jackson California to stay in, I explained what we were coming there for, and they allowed us in our rooms early to try to gather our stregth for having to view my ex-husband. They were VERY kind to us. It was clean, and smelled good, no cigarette smells in the rooms. Large enough disabled room for my daughter and bathtub that was safe for her. My daughter and g-boy in one room down the end of the hall so she could have access to outside for her smoking and me a couple of doors down, where my son and his girl would stay with me as well. We were able to reflect and meet up with my son before going to the Mortuary.
This was THE most horrific thing I have ever had to force myself to do in my entire life, and if you knew what I have lived through, that is really saying something. I never expected to have to walk my kids through the process of dealing with a parents death. Nor dealing with my ex-husbands death. His family has refused to view the body with the kids, and anyone who knows me knows how I will go to the ends of the earth for my kids and stand by them in thick and thin...and this is part of my responsiblity as a parent to them. Some may not understand why I am doing this, but they don't know my heart.
We had about an hour and half of just dealing with the business of death...the arrangements before we could view the body, and it was looming over us, my daughter broke at one point...her anger comes out when she is overwhelmed.
Once we were there my daughter started crying and telling me she couldn't do it without me, that it was the last time we would be together as a family...how to you break your childs heart by reminding them you haven't been a family in over 13 years .... I put on my big girl panties and went in with my kids. I really was not prepared to view him. I thought I would be there for my kids to go in...and a rush of emotions hit me right in the chest when I walked in.
My daughter had insisted that her 8 year old son be able to view him the whole time, and finally she agreed SHE would see him first and then decide. My son's girlfriend stayed with him in the front of the mortuary where there was a beautiful room with a fire going. My daughter was so upset when she saw her father that she couldn't make the decision and asked me, I made the decision to spare him of having nightmares the rest of his life. AND I will stand on that decision for as long as I live.
So many conflicting emotions. He looked so far removed from the man I loved, really the boy I fell in love with...I was very young...we were 15...what do you know when you are 15? Anyway, he looked like the choices he had made and it broke my heart. My son, brought clothes for the undertaker to put him in, he was dressed, cleaned up and the man took care to wrap a gauze bandage on the worst part, my daughter brought her favorite bandana and he placed it over his head, covering the injury. He had his leather jacket on and his cane and leather hat were on his chest. One hand was out because my kids wanted to hold his hand.
My heart broke. On many levels. He really didn't treat me very well while we were married and we were married for 20 years, together for 24. And only while being able to see the past of the whole life can it break your heart that he was never able to make better choices. The potential he had was so great, but instead he ended up like this...
All of his bad choices laying directly in front of me...his death the direct result of a decision to go out to a bar, drink, sing and then get in his car to drive home and speed on a mountain road while he was drunk, and not turn with the road. Honestly, I just thank the universe that he didn't hurt anyone else in his car crash...that we don't have to deal with another family grieving and being angry with him. He knew better...he is responsible for this outcome...and I am angry he made that choice...that he is putting my children and I through this...and the reprocussions of the hard days coming our way.
The disappointment and anger I still have of his family. His mother and closest sister refused to see him with us. That just brings up so much anger in me. The woman who bore him, abused him, tormented him, dangled a promise of I will love you IF, refused to see him ... The sister that went through hell and back like they were thick as thieves refused to see him. There I stood with my children...in an empty room...saying the final good-bye and struggling to forgive it all for the last time in person. I am rendered without words to convey the contempt I feel for his family that got between us while we were together and fought me every step of the journey. NEVER there for the hard...
I was proud of my son's girlfriend. She was there, she stood by my son and his family. She walked in after our time with my son, and said goodbye. She is a keeper. She is a person who has substance and I adore her more now.
After all of that we went to Mel's diner and finally ate something...we were all drained and emotional...and needed food...and some laughs. Passing down to the next generation the nose and spoon trick! And I really lusted after that Betty!
30 minutes and the Girl and G-boy will be here...
If you have a little extra, please consider. Thank you for any contribution, no matter how small, it is huge to us. We love you all. http://www.gofundme.com/5c8qqkVery warmly yours, Desiree
This is from my daughter...
My friend Gina Bee sent me her heart! The bigger one is going in a shadow box for a vampire theme!!!Bonus was the delish skull pin and heart ring!!!!
This morning I am just grateful for my best friend that happens to be my boyfriend. I woke up crying and upset...and he pointed out it is not just because I am upset for my children...but that I was probably grieving too... He is trying to put himself in my place with his ex-wife and what it would feel like with his two kids...I am just so heartbroken for my kids and what they have to go through this next coming week...I think it just finally hit me today and I can't seem to turn off the tears. I am so lucky to have WGB, he knows what my kids are going through, losing his mom and the conflicted feelings that brings up. He doesn't do well talking or dealing with death and he has been VERY supportive and loving...I know this is bringing up a lot of issues for him as we feel our way through this.... He told me that he can see it is bringing up a lot of emotions in me...having to relive some things I may not have wanted to visit ever again...along with the good. Another reason why I love him...he get's me.
I know that some of my friends are really protective of me, but be kind about how you react because my kids are really raw right now. Before I could get to work this morning my beautiful niece Naomi contacted me and had the hard task of telling me that my ex-husband had passed away. The car went off the road, 360 roll over, and we are pretty sure he died of head injuries from the crash.He was in a car accident. For all we know right now it could have been a deer jumped in his path and he went off the road. He had moved in with his mom up in the sierra's, and I have spent all day trying to set things up easier for my kids to deal with. Everyone in Pioneer, Jackson and Amador County, the CHP, mortuaries and where the car is currently impounded are all very kind, and helpful people. I am currently trying to find a way to get my daughter back out to California from Texas for the 3rd time this year...I don't have the money to bring her out. So I am working on that... My son is moving today...It has been very stressful for all us...keep us in your prayers...I don't know HOW to feel...but I am worried about my kids and trying to make the transition as easy as I can for them. It has been an extremely hard day. I was with him for 24 years and we were married 20 when I divorced him...those that know our story know how hard this must be for me...I never wanted bad to happen to him ever. I wanted him happy but I no longer wanted to be in a relationship with him. Right now my focus is solely on my kids getting through this...but as I told my daughter, this is how it is supposed to be, children lose their parents...it is harder to lose a child... It is too early for them to be losing their parents but it is the natural order of life...
I am extremely worried about my kids...so send good thoughts and healing white light to them...the hardest part is when we go to the mortuary for them to view their dad's body and say good-bye. Send me strength, because even though they are not my little babies like they were in the back of my Torino here, they will forever be my babies...and my responsibility in this world...this is the hardest thing we have ever faced as a family together...but at least we are together. I just wish we could wake up and have the world be different.
I am SO excited! The boy is moving IN with the girl! AND I see some grand babies in my future! Just sayin! I am loving this! ♥ EEEEEP! I love that he is brave enough to move forward in love finally! I REALLY like this girl! I see my grand babies in her eyes! And of course I probably just scared the crap out of her if she reads this! LOL
I joined up for a swap and I just have to do SIX...but now I am trying to figure out WHAT to make! Eye like this idea!
Throw Back Thursday...1985...at Loch Lomond family picnic...I think I was 94 pounds! With the craptastic mouse AND you could still see the writing! Man...that was AGES ago...and loving my Dr. Pepper!

I had decided to buy a cheap new TV today, I found one for $199 it was 29" and LCD. My boyfriend and I rode over to Best Buy, and we looked at many TV's...I was talked into a 32" LED model...for $299...and then he surprised me by buying it for me!!!! SQUEEEEEEEL So then I was able to buy the Apple TV that I have been wanting! WHOOT Feeling spoiled! Wow! It is HD as well AND I can see the dark screens when they get darker!!! AND I can watch my Netfix and so enjoying that!!! On a big screen! Whooo hoooie!
Had to clean that area...and dust and vacuum...but hey I have a cool TV...And SuperNatural is playing! :) With Hell Hounds! LOVE this!!!
Then my son texts me...he is getting me the new iPhone 5!!!!! For my birthday! Whooo hooo! So he is ordering it tomorrow! I might even get it this week! I am so excited!!!! MORE memory! All my apps and photos will fit!!!! WOOT!
I am such a lucky geek girl!
Things don't matter people do...but I am enjoying these items!
It has been an up and down struggle. April I had a set back with plantar fasciitis it has prevented me to have good walking days. But I am doing at leat 4000 steps, just not getting the 8000 or 10000 I was.
I started seeing a holistic doctor...and I am starting to get some good results! I am gluten free and no nightshades, which is no peppers, potatos, tomato, egg plant, he doesn't want me eating tofu or soy either...
It has been a steap learning curve and I am still having some issues getting enough calories in, with food I can tolerate. But I have lost 10 pounds.
Today was a better day, 6737 steps. Under calories. Feet hurt but I am ok.
The inflammation in my body is getting less and less. I just have to remember to drink MORE water! I am doing a Red Dot 30 day challenge at work, not to eat extra sugar or baked goods while at work. The baked goods is easy since I am gluten free...but no soda or candy or anything like that...Monday is Day 16 and it is HARD! But I have been doing good.
Trying to make all the change a life change not just temporary. And I am glad to see some movement down. The thing that upset me was Saturday I was up 2 pounds...today I lost some...so I am going to stick to weighing myself every Tues...and not every day where it goes up an down! It makes me crazy!
Grateful my boyfriend has also bought a new fitbit for himself and he is seeing how much calories he normally eats and he is adjusting. The hardest part for him is the realizaton that he cannot continue to eat crap...and drink soda all day long and expect to lose weight! Today we went to Olive Garden, I had the Apricot Chicken and it is reasonable. He had the Mixed Grill and was surprised it was 838 calories! But he didn't have the bread, and he had water with me...and lunch served as dinner and lunch for us...I had have of my serving so will have the rest of mine for lunch or dinner tomorrow.
He has been working out on the Wii...and I am hopeful I won't be sabatoged by him this time! :)
A new way to spend my birthday! with Santa!
Stephen begged that we go...so we did! :)

Some times life hands you a reflection of yourself that is hard to take...I guess maybe it is all just growing pains...On the other side I will be a different person.
Today I am spending my time doing laundry. Moving my shoes and vanity table out of my bedroom to make room for the clothes racks I have in the spare bedroom. Next week WGBs daughter comes home for a couple of weeks. The bedroom has two of my clothes racks. I am trying to get down to one.
Clean up the bed...fresh laundry and bath towels.
So off to hang up more clothes!
"Leaving is not enough. You must stay gone. Train your heart like a dog. Change the locks even on the house he's never visited. You lucky, lucky girl. You have an apartment just your size. A bathtub full of tea. A heart the size of Arizona, but not nearly so arid. Don't wish away your cracked past, your crooked toes, your problems are papier mache puppets you made or bought because the vendor at the market was so compelling you just had to have them. You had to have him. And you did. And now you pull down the bridge between your houses, you make him call before he visits, you take a lover for granted, you take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic. Make the first bottle you consume in this place a relic. Place it on whatever altar you fashion with a knife and five cranberries. Don't lose too much weight. Stupid girls are always trying to disappear as revenge. And you are not stupid. You loved a man with more hands than a parade of beggars, and here you stand. Heart like a four-poster bed. Heart like a canvas. Heart leaking something so strong they can smell it in the street."— Frida Kahlo
The last few years have been SO hard. I have felt like I have been losing myself, finding myself, worrying about my health, worrying about work, worrying about retirement, worrying if I am a good person or not, concerned I fucked it all up beyond repair. Struggled in living with the person I love, his kids, my kids, animals. Wondered what the hell it is I am going to leave behind...
All the struggles lead me to more compassion and more gratitude. Maybe with the chronic pain I have learned not to judge others in pain, just because they don't appear to be sick or hurting. Maybe I have learned that chronic pain can erode your spirtitual and emotional health, it can erode your relationships because people expect you can do various things that you are really not capible of doing at the moment...things that seem so easy.
The chronic pain has caused me to stop writing here...I stopped being real...I stopped being honest with myself, trying to just get through the day. Struggles we all have them, one way or another. I think my body has just had enough, I know my heart has. It was time to make some changes...think about things differently.
The last few years of death of my grandmother, my friends, WGBs stroke, eroded my health. And the state of my studio shows the decline of my mental health as well, the sadness that encapsulated me in clutter...over the top mess and making me frozen. Its time to clean up everything and get back into balance. For weeks I wake up with really bad heartburn and go to bed with really bad heartburn...so much so it sometimes scares me in the middle of the night. Like last night laying there trying to calm my mind to calm my acid stomach...worry will kill you.
When I read the quotes from Frida I remember the chronic pain she endured and how she made a beautiful life dispite the pain, and when she had emotional pain and relationship break downs, she ate life like it was a huge pomegrante juicy and ripe!
Finding hope. First getting the information about the book Stop the Thyroid Madness writen for patients...and finding that I am NOT the only one struggling so much with my treatment. I kept telling my doctor that ALL of my issues but my back pain ARE related to the under treatment of my thyroid! Now I feel like I have proof of that and can start to get healthier and enjoy my life again! Get all of my symptoms under control. Oh it will be nice to live without swelling in my leg!
On June 22nd I dared to believe I could change it. I started to see a homiopathic energy chiropracter. The first visit was more on the homiopath side, with natural medications to try to get me to be more balanced. I know that people say, hoo-do, but I am feeling better!
On June 29th I woke up with even my skin on my left leg hurting, espeically along my ankle, where ever anything touched me I had shooting pains. I brought him in all my latest blood tests. When Dr. M was doing the assessment he hurt me on my right leg just by touching me. The interesting thing was my left arm was less sensitive than my right arm. My arms were not responding at all to the reflex hammer. My hands were in a lot of pain, especially my thumbs. Wednesday my IBS came back wth a vengence. My sciatic pain was reaching the top again.
It was SO uncomfortable for me to lay on the chiropractic table. He checked the sciatic pain in my right leg, and I was shorter on my right side like I thought I had been. We talked a lot about adjusting my neck, I have not let ANYONE touch my neck since my favortie chiropractor ever moved from the area. I relaxed and let him adjust my left side of my neck. It cracked so loud it scared me. INSTANTLY I had an emotional response, but more amazing INSTANTLY my skin on my right leg stopped hurting. All together the pain was gone! He could touch my leg and not pain! He said "Intersting response!" You think? I think it is magic!
He rechecked my reflexs and they were now normal in my arms! I could finally feel both side the same! No difference! The only strange thing was that under my right elbow and right knee I expereinced some tenderness that night until I saw him next.
On July 2nd We talked about the tenderness in my elbow and knee. He assessed me again and adjusted my elbow and my wrist. He then adjusted the right side of my neck and the amount of loud sounds and pent up emotions came flooding out! I had to take a moment! The left side was not as dramatic as the right side of neck but I just was so stunned by all of the emotions flooding out of me. He also adjusted my left jaw. So much relief though.
The next step was he wants me to go gluten free and no nightshades! I didn't know what nightshades were, they are tomatos, eggplant, pepers, potato. He wants me off of Wheat, Barley, Rye or Oats. No soy or tofu. And wants me to cut back on sugar.
This is the interesting thing to me as he was talking about inflammation in my body, I was keying in to a book I bought in 2010 "The idiots guide to the Infammation Diet", I told him that my intuition had been leading me here, and he said I REALLY need to follow my intution, that my energy is really good and strong and that I am just not trusting myself. He said that sometimes patients can have what they call a leaky gut, and that gluten free eating can help in healing that. Plus with all the things I have been trying to do to lose weight over the last two years only to gain more! So frustrating to me...and started to make me feel hopeless.
So for now I can eat Fresh fruit and veggies, quinoa, beans, rice, corn. This has been a HUGE learning curve and I have not been experiencing hunger like I would before. I am not thrilled with eating...so not having a great experience with food right now. Everything is making the switch including my taste buds. My mouth tastes terrible, my tongue feels thick. I am still taking the suppliments he suggested and I don't know if that is what is causing my mouth to taste so bad... all changes.
The trick to this new way of eating is all in the planning...which I have never been good at. But in order to succeed I am going to have to be better at having foods I CAN eat on hand. The other thing is how WGB always wants to go out to lunch...my stats have gotten higher doing this bad habit and I really just want to go home for lunch where I can control what I eat more...its all a learning curve.
July 13th he adjusted my neck again, and then he used a tool to adjust my lower back and some spots between my shoulders. He then had me stand up and he adjusted my back holding me weird. And then adjusted my right leg that I have the sciatic pain on...
I was able to tell him yesterday that I lost 1.5 pounds, this morning I weighed myself and I had lost another 1.5 pounds so that is FIVE pounds in a week! So happy to see movement DOWN...since the last week in April when I started the plantar fascitis and not being able to walk like I was, I had gained 24 pounds! So hard... To me this 5 pounds is such a huge win!!! I am loving it! It is making it easier to stick to the gluten free to see results, finally positive results!
He added a couple of more suppliment treatments yesterday and I picked one up at whole foods. I bought some gluten free food and so far hate everything. I think I will stick to rice, quinoa and eat fresh fruit and veggies! I was REALLY hurting looking at all the pasta and things I can't have...but I am trying to make the best of it. I tried the gluten free pasta, won't be going there anytime soon. And it is REALLY hard not having the nightshades! I love my bellpeppers and tomatos not to mention a good potato chip! So I got some sweet potato things including chips.
Maybe doing all of this I will get balance back in my life...
The fact that you're struggling doesn't make you a burden. It doesn't make you unlovable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn't make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. Everyone struggles. Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, we aren't always easy to be around — and that's okay. No one is easy to be around one hundred percent of the time. Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren't all of who you are and they certainly don't discount your worth as a human being. The truth is that you can be struggling and still be loved. You can be difficult and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness. ~ Daniell Koepke.
It is a lesson in gratitude. When my life is getting me really down, and I am weighted with the problems of the world and life is getting tough, I look forward to every six months, MARS. Mountain Artists Retreat Sleepover. The first time I went, I felt a bit like a stranger that didn't belong...but that quickly faded with kindred spirits.
It is an experience of 20-25 women who are artists. We come together and take the pressure of the world off of our shoulders for a weekend. And the weekend blurs by! This Spring MARS I drove up by myself to Grass Valley area, with my iPod with all my favorite music playing, and enjoying some time by myself to think. My body has been randomly swelling again, and I am just not feeling good, but I did not let that stop me from BEING in the moment - enjoying these women!
I realize we won't always be all together, that in an instant life can change, so this weekend is one of renewal and gratitude to be able to enjoy and love eachother and laugh until we need depends! Share our dreams.
Each year my girlfriend Lindsay who has awesome blogs by the way, www.lindsayostrom.blogspot.com and www.scribblesbylinzi.blogspot.com, she coordinates PenPals, last year there were like 43 of us this year 97!!! And we are having some fun!
You are just required to send something to your PenPal, and only once...most do more. Some over acheivers try to do everyone in the group. I won't be one of those since I work full time. I just can't. But I am having fun and feeling good every time I go to the mailbox! Great mail vs bills!
The power of GOOD bombing, Lindsay came up with the idea of bombing someone with a health issue, personal reason, or because they have had a shitty week...I nominated my daughter Desi and she got bombed with what she called "Pretty Mail"
WOW Danny Gregory posted in Every Day Matters (a sketch group I belong to on FB) and I was SO blown away to find out it was Gil Zamora!!!! He was San Jose PD's sketch artist, and I worked with him a lot from 94 (when he wasn't very good, just starting out and being mentored) through 2011!! Where he was amazing! He even did a few sketches for co-workers before they retired, where I was in one back in 2000. It was just SO moving to watch these! I grew to love him over the years, he had a great spirit...and was so talented! What a gift to the women he touched doing this project!
Dove Campaign to see what is SO powerful!
His daughter is moving to South Korea on Feb 1st, so I booked another photo shoot. Alex told me she is getting me a canvas print! WHOOT!

I didn't sleep much last night...maybe a couple of hours. So I am feeling raw anyway. But I found out this morning that my friend Gary Leinweber passed away at 6:30 am...
I am grateful he is not in pain anymore. But I am going to miss knowing he was in the world.
So, I am sitting here, listening to the rain...and remembering some fun times at work. He was always inspirational, he went after his passion and changed his life up. Always made me believe it was possible that I could do it too!
I will always remember his laugh...and when his wife Jeri started to quilt, and how we would talk about the love of quilting. AND when he would share with me when her quilts were in shows!
I haven't had a family photo with my kids since they were little! I was so excited that we were able to get them and have them taken at Shoreline Park, and the Rengstorff House. I used to party in that house when I was a kid, and before it was fixed back up to its beauty...this place has powerful meaning to me.
I have been wanting to do this so here some are! Desi and G-boy are out for a visit so I pounced!
I really love how they turned out!
Link to Photographer!
Man...what an emotional day! I got an email from my 3rd cousin from Ancestry.com! Come to find out I knew her as a kid! She sent me a photo of my grandmother who raised me...and I broke out in tears! I had never seen a photo of her when she was young. In this photo it is 1940 on the Russian River, with her family, goofing on each other. She is the one in the middle.
It freaked me out because I can REALLY see myself in her. Its hard to believe she was 35 in this photo! It TOTALLY is eerie to me...because while I knew her she was always wrinkly and old looking...I have never seen her this young...and wow! Just Wow! And the fact that I do look like her...crazy good realizations.
This just made me so emotional all day. SO many questions came up. Again, I miss her so much, she passed when I was 19 and I sure wish I could have asked MORE things about life... For instance WHY was this the first photo I have ever seen that shows her young? For what I know about her life, only a couple of years later, 1942, she lost he 18 month old son AND the love of her life, her 2nd husband (my grandfather) from TB, WHILE she was pregnant with my mother. I think this was pivotal and I think that she never fully recovered from this.
My cousin Dee wrote me this:
"The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don't wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope." - Barack Obama
One thing I have figured out this time, is that the twice a year art retreat I go on with my art sisters, has the power to transform my crankiness from life kicking my butt into joy and happiness again. MARS Mountain Artist Retreat Sleepover...occurs in Spring and Fall...6 months apart. There is usually 20 of us and ALL personalities!
The most important part of being a part of this extradinary group of women artists is that our unique voices in our art, are shared, appreciated, and taught. We are handing eachother our talents, our love, our acceptance, our willingness to be vulnerable and real. To talk about our lives with eyes that are not judgemental or seeringly uncomfortable. Even if all of us don't always get along and there are bumps and mini bruises of ego...it is a true experience of love and acceptance.
This time many of us had heavy things happening in our lives...but the time together was that of laughter and love. A coming together over meals...laughs...stories...sharing...and being ourselves.
We ARE a tribe. We are all different but ALL alike. We are strong women, with voices in our art. Various political views. Various life experiences. Various places in life. ALL healing time for wounded souls beat up out there in the real world where some times we are all misunderstood.

Seriously ths is what I need!!!!
It comes with a remote. You can turn it on in an emergency without getting up! Here's the link:
You know some times when you have so much turbulance, change, and lots of moments of being uncomfortable, it just may be time to make a huge life change...I am in that spot right now...wondering what benefits me as a human being and what does not.It may be time to let go...Letting go is hard isn't it!
What a fascinating story...I love the thought of Paris, and this is just so intriguing! I would love to have some of those items they found in the apartment. Check out the link.
What kept her away even after the war? Was she running away from someone or something other than the Nazis? For all those decades, her rent on the elegant apartment in a flourishing city had been faithfully paid, but it was left it to freeze in time. It all sounds like the perfect mystery.

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is set to visit New Zealand - and doesn't know what to expect.
"This may sound really horrible, but is it a lot like Australia?" she asked Woman's Day.
Longoria is coming to New Zealand for the first time to help launch a shopping network.
As a self-described TV-shopping addict, she said: "It's the perfect match and I'm very excited to be travelling over there."
Longoria enjoys curling up on the couch in her pyjamas, with a TV remote in one hand and her phone in the other, according to Woman's Day.
"I buy a lot of things from the shopping network," she said.
"I'm always up at night and I'm the one buying all those appliances. It's all over my kitchen."
Love and sports also made the magazine, with Woman's Day interviewing Olympic medallists Mahe Drysdale and Juliette Haigh.
The couple have been together for over five years after meeting in 2001 through Auckland's West End Rowing Club.
Drysdale said that their relationship was "very close," but also "competitive".
"We're always in the same competitions trying to do the same thing. So to see Juls win an Olympic bronze medal certainly made me more determined. I had to make sure I at least got a medal as well."
"My coach always tells Mahe he has to do the dishes if we beat him at anything,'' Haigh said.
Sitting in the grandstand at Eton Dorney, Haigh said she couldn't watch Drysdale fight for first place.
She buried her head in her hands and cried as soon as the competition began, Woman's Day reported.
"I've never had that kind of reaction before. I was completely overwhelmed and I never imagined I would have cried," she said.
"I know how much Mahe's been through and I wanted it so badly for him that I couldn't actually watch it happen."
When the race ended, Haigh looked up and discovered Drysdale had won gold.
In Women's Weekly, Ali Williams and Casey Green reveal they are expecting.
"I was stoked,'' Williams said. "I don't know if you're every perfectly ready, but we can handle it now. It's another challenge in your life.''
Twelve-week pregnant Green, who is convinced she is having a boy, said the first trimester was "really difficult".
"If I wasn't sleeping, I was sick. I was pretty much bedridden. But my friends keep telling me they were good signs.
''And at 10 weeks the vomiting eased up so I'm a happy girl now. I've got energy and I'm not being sick every five minutes," she said.
Jennifer Aniston may not be pregnant yet, but according to New Idea, she is getting ready for kids - and divorce.
Aniston reportedly insisted she have sole custody of her and Justin Theroux's future children if they divorce.
"Jen knows that Justine will be a great father, but she wants to have control over the future of the child is case anything does go wrong with the marriage," a friend told New Idea.
The agreement would reportedly give Theroux generous visitation rights.
He was initially reluctant, but eventually accept the prenup, which is also said to give him $1 million for each year of marriage.

Some strains of the H7N9 bird flu in China are becoming resistant to the only antiviral drugs doctors have left to treat the infection, a new study suggests.
The study, which examined the viruses in a single person infected with H7N9, found that a portion of the H7N9 viruses lurking inside the person were resistant to the antiviral drugsoseltamivir (marketed as Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). About 35 percent of the viruses were resistant to these drugs, while 65 percent were sensitive, the researchers said.
(MORE: Deadly Virus Makes Muslin Hajj Unsafe)
Treating such "mixed populations" of flu viruses within a single patient can be problematic — giving the patient oseltamivir or zanamivir may increase resistance to those drugs.
"You quickly provide an environment where those resistant viruses grow," said study researcher Dr. Richard Webby, a bird-flu expert at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
However, when a person is sick with H7N9 bird flu, doctors often don't have time to test the infection for resistance before beginning treatment, Webby said. Instead, they quickly begin treatment with oseltamivir or zanamivir.
"Even though we know that these viruses may become resistant to [the drugs], essentially, it's the only option," Webby said. H7N9 viruses are already resistant to a different class of antiviral drugs, called M2 ion channel blockers.
H7N9 resistance to antiviral drugs could become more of a problem if the virus develops the ability to spread from person to person, Webby said. So far, there have been no reports of sustained human-to-human transmission of H7N9.
H7N9 emerged in China in February, and so far, has infected 132 people, including 43 who have died. [See New Bird Flu Virus: 6 Things You Should Know].
Because the new study tested just one patient, it's unclear how widespread H7N9 antiviral resistance is. Another recent study published in the journal the Lancet found that two out of 14 patients with H7N9 had infections that were resistant to oseltamivir and zanamivir.
The new study also found that a test widely used to detect antiviral resistance does not work in patients who have "mixed" infections. The test — which assesses the activity of a particular viral enzyme — can come back negative (no antiviral resistance), even though a portion of the viruses infecting a person are in fact drug resistant.
To overcome this, researchers should always use a gene-based test (which looks at the genetic sequence of the virus) when trying to determine whether a person is infected with drug-resistant H7N9, the researchers said.
The study is published in the July/August issue of the journal mBio.

Case | HBS Case Collection | October 2010 (Revised May 2012)
by Stephen P. Kaufman and Laura Winig
Following the 2010 Gulf of Mexico explosion and oil spill on the Deepwater Horizon, public attention focused on BP's safety record, practices, and management culture as the primary cause of the disaster. Drawing on public sources this case traces the circumstances surrounding the accident, including not only the role of BP, but also of the two principle sub-contractors hired to actually do the drilling and capping of the oil well (Transocean Ltd and Halliburton Energy Services). The case examines BP's safety record and prior accidents at a refinery in Houston in 2005 and along a pipeline in Alaska in 2006, and describes managerial changes imposed by the Board of Directors and safety programs instituted by Tony Hayward, the new CEO installed in 2007.

With the advent of the internet and technology, there has been a significant transformation in the way businesses used to market their products and services. Nowadays, the people frequently use the internet to search for the best offers before availing them.

What a website can do for your business can never be achieved by investing hundreds of thousands on advertising and promotions.

A well-designed website showcasing all the products and services helps you to build a great customer base and to generate higher revenue.

Comments about Ortlieb Office Bag - Large:
I am a huge fan of Ortlieb panniers, having been introduced to them on European cycle tours. They come as standard equipment with most bike rentals. And no wonder: they are high quality, durable, supremely usable bags with tremendous capacity. It seems no matter how much you stuff into them, they can take more, and keep everything dry and organized. But they are expensive, and so, it took me quite some time to get together the money to buy one myself to use on my own commuter bike.When I had finally saved up my $200+, I went to my local bicycle store to buy myself an Ortlieb Bike Packer Classics. But the store also sold the Office Bag, and I thought, hey, maybe that's better for me, since I carry a lot of documents back and forth from my office. Big mistake. Unlike the Packer Classic, this bag is very poorly designed. If the Office Bag is even slightly over-filled, the bag will not close, and you have to leave it open to the elements, which here in Toronto means rain and snow. It is impossible to position the bag securely on your rear bike rack without your heel hitting it as you pedal. If you move the bag well to the rears of your rack so your heel can clear the bag, the bag becomes unbalanced. Then one and sometime both of the clamps that hold the bag to the rack come undone - a very dangerous situation if you commute in heavy traffic as I do. The clamps that hold the bag to the rack have also come undone on me when I go over bumps in the road. I'm not talking off road or huge potholes here, just the kind of good bump one experiences regularly on city roads.In one instance, I went over a bump in an intersection and the bag fell right off. I had to screech to a halt and tear back to get my bag as the light turned red. Just so you don't think I'm mechanically inept and just haven't set the bag up properly, I went back to my local bike shop -- the commuting specialists[@] in Toronto, a very reputable shop -- and told them the problems I was having with the bag. They adjusted the bike and the rack for me, but there was no improvement.I'm a cyclist with over 35 years experience with commuter bikes, off-road bikes, and road bikes. I take cycling vacations every year. I've tried out a lot of gear over the years and this product is the worst; a very expensive mistake that can make your bike ride unsafe.Don't buy this bag. Go for the Ortlieb Bike Packer Classic, which is truly a great bag that will last a lifetime.

Very Solid
By Jack the Economist
from Baton Rouge, LA
About Me Textbook Carrying Student
Having been using this bag for two and a half months, I would say I couldn't be happier. Yes it's pricey, but it definitely seems like a product that I could still be using six years from now. The hooks that connect it to the bike rack are a little weird looking when carrying it around campus, but it's a small price to pay.

This is a very nice bag. It easily fits by Lenovo T61, mounts quickly and securely to my bike, and seems very rugged (haven't owned it long enough to testify as to long-term durability).
Almost Perfect
By Riprap
from Denver, CO
If you are looking for a bombproof, year round bag for commuting, but this! I have used it for a couple months now and it is secure, dry, and durable. The cost is a little high but, well worth it. I carry a laptop in a sleeve, a lunch, and a change of clothes, and everything fits though it is a little tight. You will not be dissapointed.

Great Bag
By Jiblet
from Seattle, WA
The top-end of commuter bags. Perfect for a change of clothes, bike stuff (pump, lock, etc.) a laptop and 1 or 2 files. Completely waterproof and durable; easy to mount/dismount. The reflectors are excellent. I actually have two - the one I use everyday and a second one I carry twice a week to ferry clothing back and fourth to work.Only one small complaint: The handle securing system is such that it allows the carrying handles to flop around. Maybe it's just me, but I can't get the handle webbing straps to stay inside the plastic carrying handle thingy. No big deal, doesn't detract from the bags performance, just a very small annoyance.Buy it if you want a worry-free bag that will last 10 years. Buy a cordura/nylon bag if you're ok with buying a new bag every couple of years.

This is the bag
By Dylan in NJ
from Central New Jersey
About Me Commuter
This bag is the perfect solution for the office bike commute. It is sturdy and dry, and it holds a computer, a couple of inches of files, rain gear, lunch, flip-flops, and more. The mounting system is pure genius. It pops right on and comes right off with one hand, yet it is very secure while riding, even when loaded. The dry opening is easy to use and kept my stuff dry in a downpour. The initial setup was a tad frustrating because the instructions were poor and parts of the actual mounting system were different from the directions.

<3 ~ Fell in Love ~ <3
By MrZhuKeeper
from El Monte, CA
About Me Student
I love its design. All I have to do is lift the bag up and move right and it's off the rack -- so less attention needed. It's unlike the Arkel commuter bag [...] where you have to spend ~5-10 seconds hooking and unhooking it -- and that hook constantly pokes my butt which is annoying. Another thing is I give thanks to their heavenly interior design. No backpacks that I've used can compare to the interior design of this thing. If you are an office worker/student buy this. Another awesome feature is that it is waterproof. It's waterproof on the outside, and looks waterproof from the inside too.

Great size, easy attachment system
By Greg in Montana
from Montana
I've been using this bag for commuting to work with for about a month now. I have to carry a laptop back and forth every day, and I have no concerns carrying it in this bag. I use a neoprene sleeve to put the laptop in inside the bag, and it protects it well. The waterproof nature of the Office Bag allows me to ride in the rain if I so choose. The mounting system is great, it's very secure on the rack of my bike, as well as being very easy to clip on and remove. It's a little expensive, but worth not having to worry about rain and your bag falling off.

I did a lot of research and determined that it was the only pannier/bag that I needed for my commute.What I like:It holds a 17" laptop (just needs a 17" laptop sleeve - NOT the Ortleib sleeve which is only 15" - incase has one that works well for me) and a change of clothes (and shoes!) and a small jacket, so I can ride to work, work out at the gym and ride home. Despite all of the stuff, the papers that get stored in the organizer pockets don't look like they took a tumble in my backpack like they used to.I've been pleasantly surprised how easy it is to mount and re-mount on the rack (I just have a standard-issue Topeak Explorer) and that the strap that comes with it makes it pretty comfy to carry off-rack.The thing is also pretty sturdy and appears to be pretty water resistant with the roll closure (although admittedly there's not much rain here so I haven't tested it yet).What I don't like:It cost a lot for a single bag (fortunately, riding with just one bag seems to work just fine balance-wise).It takes a little time to figure out how things should fit (Do I put them in pockets? How do I use the spacer? Will this fit at all?)Once things are in the bag, finding something in a full bag is difficult.After some use, the silver covering gets less shiny in the places where the top rolls...but this is pretty minor.
Super Waterproof Bomber Bag!

About Me Commuter, Student
I bought this bag on recommendation of a bike commuter buddy. I am entirely impressed at the overall ruggedness and waterproofness of this bag. I showed the bag to my commuter buddy who has the older model and he said "Wow that one looks a lot more durable than mine!" The interior has two organizer pockets that fit an assortment of school/office supplies such as calculators, pens, etc. It is large enough for me to carry several 1" binders and two textbooks plus rain gear and a tool kit. The attachment system is second to none. After it locks into place it is not going anywhere. I have hit potholes and rode off curbs and the bag didn't even rattle. I live in Humboldt county where it rains constantly and this bag has been irreplaceable for getting what I need to school without it getting soaked. The price is a little high but if it gets my stuff to school without getting wet I'll pay the higher price. The only problems with this bag is that you cannot remove the organizer pocket and that the shoulder strap is kinda uncomfortable but those are only minor.

Practical Welding Today®May/June 2012 |

May 25, 2012
The push for lighter, corrosion-resistant components has brought aluminum to the forefront of the minds of traditional steel fabricators. Those that approach the material the same as steel often run into weld quality issues that can prove costly. But those who are committed to putting together a topnotch, aluminum-friendly system before striking an arc—from equipment and setup to material preparation and welder education—are better equipped to find success afterward.
May 25, 2012
The goal when welding any material is to change its microstructure as little as possible and to preserve its mechanical and chemical properties. To achieve this you must be able to determine its weldability, control the heat input, and prevent rapid cooling.
May 25, 2012
Implementing robotics can prove to be beneficial, but you can't expect to achieve your desired productivity results if you don't know how products flow to and from that cell. In other words, simply throwing a robot onto the shop floor is not the answer. Before you make the commitment to robotics, it's important to analyze your process flow and adopt methods that will help reduce waste from the manual process.

Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $45.99

Vintage Annalee Dolls Santa Reindeer 1965. The Annalee Doll company has an interesting history. The creator of Annalee Dolls was Barbara Annalee Davis. Ms Davis first started creating dolls in the 1930's, in 1941 she met her husband and they opened Thorndike's Eggs and Auto Parts. In 1950 the egg and auto part business failed and Ms Davis started to make dolls again, the company was a success and in 1955 the company was incorporated into Annalee Dolls. The company continued under Ms Davis until 1992 when she gave her two sons equal shares of the company. Her sons continued to run the company until the later part of the 1990s, when the market for collectibles began to fall, many companies began to outsource their operations. Annalee was one of these companies, by 2001 all Annalee dolls were outsourced. In 2002 Ms Davis passed away and in 2008, after a string of lawsuits between the two sons of Annalee Thorndike over ownership of the company, Annalee Dolls was acquired by David Pelletier, Bob Watson, and the Imagine Company of Hong Kong.
The reindeer is from 1965, he is wears a Santa Claus hat, is about 8 1/2" tall, he has his original seam tag attached dated 1965 and is in excellent condition.

I like vkaryl's idea of a new look for the forum. I've seen people react to changes in physical space (a more professional office, for example) by improving their own appearance and behavior. Forums can be the same way - a clean, professional look will emphasize the new expectations for decorum.

Flip Mino High Definition Camcorder - 2nd Generation
Date: 21/06/12, updated on 28/05/13 (39 review reads)
Advantages: Good quality picture, nice functionalities
Disadvantages: Quite a simple device
After I carelessly lost my rather expensive camera whilst going on holiday abroad (after moments of panic I gave up searching in my empty camera case and gave it up for a lost cause), I decided that I really needed something small and portable to take, that did not cost as much as a full, good digital camera, so as to not have a repeat of the incident. I am not, have never been and in all honesty will probably never be the most careful of people, and so I was looking for some kind of camera or camcorder that was good quality but not overly expensive. Obviously, I would still be pretty upset if I lost it, but not nearly as much as I would be if I lost a big bulky SLR.
I was looking for a small, pocket sized camcorder that:
a) Didn't cost a fortune.
b) Could take decent video clips.
and c) Was light and portable so that I could pretty much carry it in my pocket and film or take pictures of my everyday moments.
Of course, I wasn't expecting too much from a product I was only intending to use as something portable, something to take on holiday with, but the Flip Mino HD 2nd Generation did not disappoint. In fact, I found that instead of using it only on holidays etc., I was actually integrating the smart little device into my everyday life, almost considering every good moment not being captured by my camcorder a good moment wasted.
So first of all, why did I choose the Flip Mino HD Camcorder 2nd Generation, even though this may not have been the most advanced model of its range? To my understanding, more generations of this range are already out. Well, because it had received quite good reviews and I had a friend who lent me hers, which she had bought earlier. for a trial run and it seemed like a handy device to have- without the controls being to complicated to figure out.
Another important factor was, definitely, price. Luckily for me, a few months ago when I bought it, it was quite cheap considering its brand and product- dipping at around £80 on Amazon, which I thought was a complete and utter bargain, considering that we are talking about a product which has a £179.99 Recommended Retail Price. Right now, unfortunately, you cannot buy it at such a low price, on Amazon at least; right now it is on sale at £129.95 which is not a remarkably low price, but not a tremendously high one either. I would say that the Flip Mino range is in the middle of the pocket camcorder price range, and since they function quite well, I think that it is more than good value for money
It is very small and portable- it can be easily slipped into your pocket. Sure, it is not as thin as an iPod Touch, though it is thin enough to be thought of as a hi tech gadget, and it is thin enough to easily fit in your hand and in your pocket as well. Also, it would not actually be all too pleasing to receive such a thin product, because it would look less sturdy and hard wearing. It seems to be made of a sturdy material and I do not expect it to break down anytime soon. It has a sleek and smooth outer casing in the calm classic colour of silver (there are, of course, different colours, but I decided on the silver); this gives the pocket camcorder the effect of being sleek and sophisticated, however, just a little warning that dust and dirt show up better on it.
As for functionality, this works quite well- the picture quality is more than good enough for me. It has very simple controls which is good for when you are in a rush. The most important button- the big red record and stop button- is right in the middle and it is impossible not to be able to function that at least. You press it, it starts, press it again, it stops. The other buttons (which are touch screen, so you don't even need to press down that hard on them) are also very easy to figure out. A child could use it- in fact, I should take this opportunity to recommend this product to people of all age categories, especially for people who have trouble keeping up with technology, because it is just so simple to use.
120 minutes of recording (which is how much recording time came with my Flip Mino HD) is more than enough to record large snapshots of whatever you want. However, don't expect to be able to record documentaries for hours and hours without stopping. Of course, you can just load the videos onto your computer with your handy USB connector that comes with it, and then continue shooting. It is very practical for taking out and about, but if you are on holiday without a computer to load your videos on, you will not be able to capture that much video footage. However, for me, it is more than enough.
However, there are some things that could be improved about this product (maybe these have been improved in the later generations, I do not know), though these are not major, and anyway, as I said near the beginning of my review, I do not expect too much from a small, relatively cheap device such as this. Instead of saying that every cloud has a silver lining, I would say... every silver lining has a cloud (does that even make sense?!). Some of these disadvantages are:
* Even though the picture quality is HD and quite clear, it is not quite as good as using a high range digital camera or camcorder, but you get what you pay for. It works OK with fast sports, but you can get a few blurry moments.
* If you, like me, don't have such a steady hand, the video quality can turn out to be quite blurred. Also, it does not zoom far enough to capture far away scenes in good detail.
All in all, I think that this is a good pocket camcorder for general use, good value for money and so I would highly recommend it. It functions well, the picture quality is good. I would give it 5 stars overall. It may be a simple product relatively speaking, but that is what I was looking for, and therefore it works for me. If you want a complicated 0.0001mm thin gadget (OK, so that was an exaggeration) with a built in GPS then I would suggest for you to look elsewhere. So all in all I give this 5 out of 5 stars.
Summary: Highly recommended if you are looking for something for simple usage!

KLINGON TOS costume
Hello, can you update the KLINGON character about the skin? The goal is to propose another kind of skin, a human skin about the KLINGON TOS character!!!
Link: KOR in 2267 |
Moved from STO Discussion
Since this thread is about a costume option, I have moved it to a more appropriate feedback forum.
Considering we have the TOS uniform, it makes sense. Though wasn't the disease that cause Klingons to lose their ridges cured centuries ago?

First Appearance | 12w17a Snapshot (April 26, 2012) |
Data Values | Hex: 182
==Book and Quill== |
[view] •
The Book and Quill is an item that can be obtained in survival. It can also be crafted by the player. It was added into the game in the April 26th Snapshot (12w17a). These books can contain up to 50 pages, with 13 lines on each page. A player may write whatever they desire in this book! An out-of-game editor can be used to increase the length of books and create colored text. Once signed, it cannot be edited again.
How To Use
To use a book you must first craft one (see crafting below). Once you have a book and quill, select the item in your Player's hand and right click (for PC, use item for other systems). This will bring up the book editor screen. The player may then type the desired contents into the page, up to the thirteen lines. To go to another page click the forward arrow, while the back arrow goes to the previous page. The page does not have to contain text to proceed to the next page. When the player has finished editing, click done to close the book, or if the book should be finished editing for good, click "Sign" to permanently close the book for reading only. Once signed a book glows like an Enchanted Book.
It can be used as instructions to players in Multi-player mode by creating copies of a signed book that cannot be edited. This is handy when put in chests or dispensers at the spawn of a server for new players to access. Alternatively Signs are used in the same fashion. In addition players can make stories out of them and make book stores or libraries for role playing servers. Another use of the book is to be used as a "to do list." This is done by writing tasks into the book and clicking "Done" instead of "Sign" which will let the player endlessly edit the book an infinite number of times, thus allowing for the list to be updated constantly. This is more handy than the traditional sign "to do list" because it is portable. There are many other uses as well, depending on the gamer's creativity.

- The Book and Quill is not in Xbox 360 Edition
- Writing on the last page saves all pages between regardless of whether or not they are blank
- Deleting the text on the last page(s) will leave blank pages saved, however, when closing and opening the book with "Done," the book will no longer have those trailing blank pages saved.
