Bass are picking up! Anglers are catching bass between 3-5 pounds. The bass are in top water early in the morning, and then move 30-40 ft down by the afternoon. Plastics, and bluegill type lures are working best. Try fishing near the islands or inside coves.
We are starting to see more striper come in! Anglers are catching striper between 4-6 pounds. Cut bait, and flies are recommended for catching striper. Once we start stocking trout it is best to use lures that replicate trout.
Anglers are catching many catfish between 5-12 pounds! Stink bait, cut bait and night crawlers work best for catfish. Try fishing near the dams and inside coves. Richard Holmes of Beaumont caught a 9.57 pound catfish and an 11.13 pound catfish! He was fishing with nightcrawlers inside a cove.
Anglers are catching many panfish on night crawlers, mealworms. Panfish have been seen by the dams, and inside coves.

got this for $20CAD at Sephora@Yorkdale. It really made my eyeshadow stay!!! Only slight crease after 8 hours. Usually my shadow disappears from my oily lids by mid day. Thanks everyone for recommendation. I apply it quite close to my lashes, my eyes gets a bit itchy but its worth it ^_^.
Unbelievable. I haven't been able to wear eye shadow in years because it would end up in my eyelid crease within a matter of hours (or less, during the summer). Its been 5 hours and my e/s still looks like it did when I put it on. Great price for what it accomplishes and how little you need of it. I do agree with other MUAers that it would be nice to be able to see how much is in there. Will def. re-purchase.
This product ia AMAZING!!!! I am in love from the first application. It goes very sheer, but stays whole day!!! Definetely will re-purchase.
My new HG! I had been in love with MAC Untitled Paint as an eyeshadow base. I liked how the MAC paint covered up all of the blood vessels on my eyelids and lasts forever, but I didn't like how it looks a bit makeup-ey and sometimes made my eye skin look crepey. The UD Primer Potion goes on invisibly and makes your lid feel sort of moist and powdery at the same time. When I apply e/s over it it appears almost as if I applied it wet. The stickiness goes away and the shadow lasts just as long as w/ the MAC paint. The Primer Potion also also makes it look like the eyeshadow sinks into your skin instead of sitting on top of it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I just got PP and I can't believe the difference it has made! I have oily skin and my e/s would crease and virtually disappear within a couple of hours. I used PP for the first time and 12 hours later my e/s looked like it did when I put it on...and I had been traipsing around in the hot Florida sun. I would recommend this product to anyone!
I cannot live without this product!!!! I have very oily lids and my e/s disappears after 2-3 hrs and makes a crease. After using this product...i can wear my e/s ALL DAY WITHOUT CREASING....this product is amazing!
I love this stuff! It never occured to me to get a primer for my eyeshadow, but I started noticing that my eyeshadows never lasted a full day on my lids. So when I heard everyone recommending this, I went out and bought it and I haven't looked back. It's so easy to use and it really makes my eyeshadow stay.
WAHOOOO! this stuff ROCKS! i love it...i have greasy lids even in winter, and my shadow usually lasts for an hour or two without creasing, but it always fades before noon, even using a slew of other primers. through recommendation of a friend, i decided to give this one a shot, even though none that i've used have made much of a difference. THIS IS IT! it's ten pm, and my eyeshadow will still be there when the dh gets home. TRY IT OUT! LOVE IT!
I've been trying this for a few days and I'd say it's a pretty good product for my super oily lids. It's not as miraculous as some people may say, but for the first time I'm able to use cream eyeshadows without them creasing and disappearing after 2 minutes. As for power shadows, they have an increased staying power and I don't really need to touch up for a large part of the day. Good!
Great product!! I only took off 1 lippie for 2 reasons, 1) I've never tried another type of primer so I can't say its the absolute best, and 2) the bottle is cute, but you really can't tell how much is in there!! The price is reasonable and it does a great job of making eyeshadow last throughout the day.I used to have the crease and shine problem but not anymore!! This could be because I switched eyeshadows, but I'm thinking its more of the primer!!

I unfortunately had to cut down an old Pecan Tree. I am giving the wood away to a friend who can mill wood. I kept a small amount though, only chips of the inside (no bark) for BEER!
I plan to treat it exactly like I do oak (sans any toasting). I normally peel the bark off then split the logs into staves (no bigger then a carboy mouth), then using a chop saw slice it into coin like pieces about 1/2 inch thick. I then soak them two weeks in boiled then sulfited water, then drain and repeat 3 times every two weeks or so, then i rinse the wood with boiled unsulfited water and allow them to dry in my oven (off / 120f). Then I usually toast them to 2 different levels (light/medium) in the oven.
I would love any ideas or experiences with pecan wood or any flavor thoughts maybe a "Pecan Rauchbier or Swartz, etc..."
First I plan to oak a Biere de Garde split batch with A: 4 oz pecan/B: 6oz pecan / C: 4oz Med Oak. This is a recipe I normally make with 4oz of oak should be fun to compare with the pecan. I will add it 3 weeks in (or after fermentation has stopped). And Leave it for 2 weeks at ale temp and CC at 34f for 2 weeks then rack off the wood into kegs.
I have to say that cutting down trees, splitting wood and using a chop saw are all dangerous and should only be attempted by one with trained professional experience, right!
Cheers and beers!!!! jacob

Feb 27, 2013Dear Catastrophe Waitress has to be the most experimental Belle Sebastian record. From the lyrics to the instrumentation to even the vocals, everything seems tinkered with in a way. All In All, I enjoyed this record, but it will never top "If You're Feeling Sinister"… Full Review »
Jul 22, 2011Probably my favorite album of theirs after Sinister, believe it or not. "If She Wants Me," "I'm a Cuckoo," and the hilarious "Step Into My Office, Baby" are all pop gems with no shortage of great melodies or hilariously ironic lyrics.… Full Review »
Oct 15, 2010An absolute gem of an album without any weaknesses. A pop album of the very highest quality and perhaps the moment when Belle and Sebastian finally delivered and came of age. I can't recommend it highly enough. The production by Trevor Horn has to be recognised as playing a big part in turning a good pop group into a great one with this album.… Full Review »

I'm pretty disappointed in the current Arms rotation, according to Celestalon it should be keep CS on CD, keep Ms on CD fill with whirlwind, which in an of itself is boring, and even with the later addition of Rend its still pretty boring, that however isn't my main concern; my main concerns are Rage management the raw number of empty GCDs and the Headlong Rush. MS costs 30 rage, WW costs 30 rage, CS costs 10 and Rend cost 10 as well. Our only source of Rage generation is white swings, which for arms generate 30 rage per swing and 60 Rage if they crit. As white swing crits are largely out of your control this means that to not cap out on rage and thus waste it, we need to either need to be particularly attentive of when our next white swing is going to happen or For the most part this means we will want to keep rage between 30 and 40 at all times, that's a very tight operating band, and pretty much make Glyph of Unending rage mandatory. I was under the impression that Glyphs where meant to other options, not illusions of choice.
Baseline 2 handed weapons have a swing speed of 3.6 seconds. Each swing gives 30 rage so to calculate Rage Per Second (RPS) generated it's;
RPS = 30 / 3.6Working Crit into the RPS gen relatively simple since each crit doubles the rage gen, we can model this as multiplying the whole thing by 1 plus crit rate as a decimal (so 10% crit would be 0.1);
RPS = (30 / 3.6) x (1 + crit)Haste also plays a part as it lowers the swing timer and it does this in the traditional way of base time divided by 1 plus Haste as a decimal;
RPS = (30 / ( 3.6 / (1 + Haste))) x (1 +Crit)
If I've done my maths right that means that baseline an arms warriors hould be producing 8.33 Rage per Second. and we can see that Rage will scale Linearly with Crit and Haste. if you have 100% crit you'll generate 100% more rage than you would if you had 0% crit,Haste is much the same but the two stats multiply the effectiveness of each other so if you had 100% crit and 100% haste you would generate 400% of the rage you would at 0% of both.
Now calculating Rage expenditure is a little bit more complicated to workout. I'm going make some assumptions because; generally Arms follows a 4 GCD cycle of MS>WW>WW>WW, so the average RPS expenditure is going to be 30 rage per GCD, or 20 rage per second, which means with no crit/haste we can use an ability ever 3.6s. if we factor in that Arms will use CS 3 times a minute, this would be a saving of 1 RPS, and if we assume that we Rend every 15 seconds its a further saving of 1.3 rps. Storm bolt on CD is another 1 rps saved, IV on cd 0.666. so the minimum RPS in we'd need so far to be GCD locked is 16,that's almost twice what we generate, so nearly half of our GCDs (47%) will be empty.
The New tier 3 Talents all serve to close the gap between how much we need and how much we spend. TfB adds 1RPS for every target with have Rend on, so on AoE particularly strong, but single target is marginal (though with sufficient Haste Crit could be enough). Sudden Death is unreliable, though should average out to a saving of 30 rage every 10 white swings, as such it should be 0.83 RPS, though it will scale upwards with haste. Slam has the most potential to help fill GCDs but frankly it's not enough. if we assume our rotation becomes MS>Slam>X>slam, where X is CS, Rend, Storm Bolt, IV, or WW or Ravager we're still 0.5rps from producing enough Rage. Of course this is a completely fixed rotation(so managing rage is a non-issue) and makes our tier 2, 3, 4, and 7 talents mandatory Choices. And this is rather a DPS loss, you wouldn't delay a CS by up to 6 seconds, and you wouldn't want to rend that often, you probably want to use Storm bolt inside a CS if possible and it usually isn't a good idea to use IV on CD. And this rotation really begs the question; what is the point of letting Slam stack to 2,. it worked much better when it stacked only once.
Moving on Headlong Rush sounds great, I was really happy when they announced it. Granted the name is a bit bleh, I'd have preferred something like"Quick to Anger" but whatever. As we increase haste it lowers the GCD and this has the effect that it actually increase the amount of Rage that you need to perform the rotation, the the point that until you hit the 1 second GCD cap Haste is actually a net loss in RPS; whilst you generate a Higher RPS through more through white swings, you will now have even more empty GCDs. Unless you maintain certain ratio of Crit to haste, all haste does is increase your white swing damage and insert more empty GCDs between your abilities. Much like Prot pallies, where haste is a direct DPS increase, it doesn't actually lead to less empty GCDs, it just means the rotation happens quicker, which is fine if you only get an empty GCD every 15s or so and have a proc to help fill it (Grand Crusader). When every other GCD is empty, it's not quite so great and this is where prot pallies have a second advantage, almost all of their rotational abilities also have their CDs reduced by haste as well, unfortunately the poor arms warrior whose relying on things like storm bolt, or IV, or CS, or rend whose CDs aren't reduced by haste to fill those GCDs means that he gets proportionally less low cost GCDs per time period as he increases haste.
For example at 0% haste you have 40 GCDs a minute, 10 of which are probably spent on MS, 3(and a bit) on rend, 3 on CS, 2 on IV and 2 stormbolt, leaving 20 GCDs to fill with Whirlwind. At 50% haste we now have 60 GCDs a minute, 15 of which go on MS, 3(and a bit) on rend, 3 on CS, 2 on IV and 2 stormbolt, leaving 35 GCDs to fill with Whirlwind.
This is graph of roughly how much Crit we need to sustain to be GCD locked as we increase in haste. Notice how it's only once we past the 1 second GCD cap that we start to actually not rely on Crit near as much;
The reason this works well for Protection Warriors and Paladins (both Ret and Prot) is that Those specs use their GCDs to build up resources, Arms uses it's GCDs to spend resources, and that's where the issue comes from. Prot, Prot, and Ret's fillers either don't have a cost or the cost is negligible (CS isn't limited by the mana cost). For those Specs it's the order of the GCDs that matter. With the Rework of Sudden Death, Arms is now about dumping as much rage in a CS as possible, that doesn't really play well with the fact that we have to keep ourselves to such a tight rage band; More than 40 risks capping out, less than 30 risks stalling out, and with so many Empty GCDs and such high costs on our Fillers we really are punished for using the mat the wrong time.
It's also worthy of note that unlike Live prot pallies, where haste falls in value once you hit the 50% 1 second GCD threshold, Arms's value for haste sky rockets as you now are actually able to start filling more GCDs.

Two men robbed the Subway restaurant at 3960 N. Brookfield Road at gunpoint early Monday, according to city of Brookfield police.
A man wearing a black hood and a black bandanna came into the store and ordered the lone employee on duty to the back of the store just before 6:30 a.m., according to the police report.
"All (the employee) could see was eyes and a gun," Brookfield Police Capt. Jim Adlam said.
Once in the back of the store, Adlam said, the man ordered the employee to lie on the floor and then let a second man - also cloaked in a black hood and bandanna - into the store through a back door.
The two men took cash and fled.
"We have no vehicle information and no direction of travel," Adlam said.
At first blush, Monday's armed robbery sounds similar to an armed robbery reported May 28 at the Subway location at 21250 W. Capitol Drive in Brookfield.
In that case, an armed man wearing a hood and sunglasses ordered an employee into a walk-in cooler at gunpoint.
However, Adlam said, the suspect in the May 28 robbery is a white male, and the suspects from Monday's robbery are both black males.
The two robberies occurred at different times of the day, he noted.
"We're going to be working with other agencies that may have similar hold-ups," Adlam said.

Fans of wrestling nationwide will have the pay-per-view pleasure tonight of watching Lockdown 2013, the latest crafted conflict from TNA Wrestling (and no, we looked it up, it actually stands for Total Non-stop Action). One of the big moments will be the tag-team title match, which will feature the preening Christopher Daniels and his partner, Kazarian, as they take on two other brawny, bellowing tandems.
At some point Daniels, a 43-year-old native of Kalamazoo, Mich., will likely strike a pose that he picked up in the Marvel Universe or in baneful Gotham City — that's because the Lex Luthor look-a-like is a devoted fan of comics who has even entered the ring dressed as Magneto, the Marvel's mutant master of magnetism. What are the ties that bind comics to wrestling? We asked the black-hat ringmaster to pin it all down for us.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Wrestlers seem to have a lot in common with comic book characters — they fly through the air, they make a lot of fans and enemies, the whole thing with tights. Do you think comics were a compass that pointed you toward your destiny? READ FULL STORY

It isn't often that a very successful hedge fund manager with a winning strategy closes up shop, but that is exactly what this week's Great Investor guest did in 1995. It's equally unusual to get back in the business more than a decade later with a dramatically altered strategy. Joel Greenblatt of the Gotham Funds will explain his big change in portfolio strategy, from a very concentrated approach to broad diversification.

Tocqueville Fund's Robert Kleinschmidt prides himself on being an independent thinker. In his exclusive interview with WEALTHTRACK he does not disappoint. While the rest of Wall Street has been expecting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates he says they won't, and while most investors run from troubled stocks he finds gems among them. His deep value approach has generally worked. Under his stewardship, the 4-star rated Tocqueville Fund has delivered market and category beating returns.

How would you rate the overall state of moral values in this country today? That's the question the Gallup organization asks Americans every year. This year's answers were not atypical. Only 2% of Americans surveyed rated our moral values as excellent – 42% said they were poor – and 74% felt that values were getting worse, not better. How does this translate to the business world? We'll discuss the state of corporate morality. Financial historian Richard Sylla and award-winning financial editor Paul Steiger discuss how companies have become fixated on short-term stock prices to the exclusion of broader, long-term goals.

I Hugged Bob Goff at Jail
Now and then, I read a book that snakes in and changes the fabric of my heart. After that, I tell everyone (EVERYONE) to read it. Sometimes I'm inspired to conduct impromptu readings full of social awkwardness.
I'm a big book bosser. If you talk to me for more than 15 minutes (I'm allergic to small talk and prefer to get straight down to business,) I will end up asking, "Have you read ________? Because you need to."
I don't even say, "You might want to." I say "need," as in, I'm your high school English teacher or your supervisor at work or RoboCop.
I love being changed by a book, and when it happens for me, I'm sure it will also happen to you.
That's how it was with Love Does, by Bob Goff.
I'd heard about it for a while, and I read Donald Miller's A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, where he talks a lot about Bob. But when it first came out and I saw all the hype, I was reluctant. I'm afflicted with a strange rebellion which causes me to lose interest or feign indifference when something becomes a big trend. (Exhibits A-D: The Purpose Driven Life, The Shack, The Hunger Games, technology.) Also, I made a wrong and stupid assumption that Love Does was a fluffy, feel-good book.
Um, wrong.
It's relatable, funny, engaging, and easily applied to a personal experience. It's also packed with meaty, chew-all-day truth.
I devoured it in that unique, "I can't stop reading/I want to slow down because I don't want it to end" sort of way. Then I bossed Cory to read it, adding, "You need to read this with the jailbirds."
Note: I call guys in jail "jailbirds". Don't be offended. The alternative is "inmates", which makes them sound too much like criminals (it's complicated).
Long story longer, Cory read the book, and took it into the jail, where he gathered up a group of men with the following pre-qualifications: 1) You have to be a reader and 2) You have to be ready to discuss.
And then all Heaven broke loose. The guys talked. Some got emotional. One shared the following epiphany, "The Devil is a tricky bastard."
I mean, I can't argue with that.
Since Bob famously printed his cell phone number in the back of the book, we decided to call and invite him to the book club. Alas, the mailbox was full. So Cory, being all kinds of social media savvy (no) "tweeted out a post" to Bob. But, you know, Bob is a busy guy with a fairly robust schedule and that was the end of that.
A couple months later, I tweeted a picture of Cory and the Love Does book club.
5 minutes later, BOB GOFF RETWEETED ME.
This is basically a miracle. So since we were already standing at a parted sea, we doubled down and invited him to visit the jail - #bobgoffgoestojail.
And since he's Bob Goff, he immediately responded, "Let's do it! Email me!"
At this point, I RAN upstairs to call Cory, only to see that I'd missed roughly 28 calls from him after he discovered Bob had sent him the exact same tweet...TWO MONTHS EARLIER.
Hey, Cory. Hey. When you "tweet out" a personal invitation to a celebrity, you might want to check your account to see if they "tweeted you out" back.
Bob was coming to the jail.
Love Does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And then a couple weeks later he wasn't coming to the jail, and Love Doesn't. (We got lots of mileage around here with that one, even though we secretly totally understood and it was an honor to just be nominated.)
Taking a page from my playbook, Cory did not relent. He offered back an "open invitation" and all the 'birds wrote Bob letters telling him how God was using his book to show them, some for the first time ever, what the love of God and following Jesus really looks like.
Finding it all irresistible or perhaps just finding a break in his schedule, LOVE DID.
From there, Bob and I both drove (separately, dang it) to Chicago for the Storyline conference, where he shared a picture of his time at the jail. You know I cried.
Do you think we can ever get our faces off ourselves enough to really love the people around us? Do we believe God wants us to actually do right things for the people around us, not just read our Bibles and mind our own bee's wax?
God reveals Himself through other people. Through us.
This is the miracle of the manger.
Jesus came and grew and spent his free time eating with crooks and whores and murderers and thieves. He palled around with the poor - finding commonality with them because he was one of them. He chose to give what He had. He refused to store up earthly treasure, understanding it was all just rust and ash. He loved people. And he RoboCopped us to do the same. That's our J.O.B., to love the people around us as much as we love ourselves.
God is God and I am not. And even though I occasionally find myself thinking, "What would Bob do?", he isn't God, either.
But God's love fuels Bob's life. It caused him to hop in a rental car and drive hundreds of miles to spend 45 minutes hugging criminals and promising them the kingdom of Heaven belongs to them.
I want to live inside that heartbeat.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and it's my job and yours to make sure we're loving others as much as we're loving ourselves. We're slinking towards the Most Trickyful Time of the Year, when it's so easy to get wrapped up in the hype that we risk missing the entire point.
Most of the guys in the photo above will be spending their holidays eating a single tray of crap food and sleeping as much as possible so they can forget about the life they're stuck in. Yes, they're in the grip of justice, but isn't that a terrifying thought? What would our holidays look like if justice wrote our script?
Let's love more.
Let's love bigger and rowdier.
Let's extend foolish grace and walk in the grace we were given.
Happy Thanksgiving, favorite homies.

Becoming: The Unfolding of You
Now and then, an opportunity comes along that I don't even need to think twice about. I read the details, feeling my heart beat faster. In two seconds flat, I'm emailing back, "I'm IN!"
This is one of those times.
My beautiful friend, Jeanne Oliver, invited me to be part of a brand new, **FREE** course she's offering this January called Becoming: The Unfolding of You.
As Jeanne says,
This January join 20 women for an 8 week study all about finding your true identity in Christ. Each week you will hear unfolding stories from the women in this study. We will be sharing truths about who the Lord says we are and our personal journeys to accepting those truths.
We will also have fun creative videos that follow the study where the women will share one of their gifts. Think guitar playing, bread making, painting, entertaining and more. You know I can't have a course without sharing how the Lord uses our creativity! My hope is that the study will give you fresh eyes for the Lord and yourself. When we know who we are in Christ it changes everything and opens our paths and gifts in incredible new ways.
Some of us are carrying around "truths" about ourselves that are flat out lies and it time to lay them down
Melanie Everhart Edie Wadsworth Emily Wierenga Amanda Purvis Vanessa Hunt Karianne Woods Shannan Martin Stephanie Ackerman Courtney Walsh Jen Wagner Sarah Martin Mary Krause Paige Knudsen Laura McCollough Stephanie Holden Sheila Atchley Jennifer Rizzo Tiffini Kilgore Lissa Whitlock Mindy Lacefield Jeanne OliverJeanne is a creative, soulful woman who listens to the Lord. Her obedience and kindness have stopped me in my tracks more than once, even in just the past year. She has loved my family well and supported me in wonderful ways.
{You might recall our Creativity Takes Courage video chat we did last year? You can still watch, if you'd like to! Warning: We are hilarious. At least to ourselves.}
I'm so honored to partner with her again - along with the talented ladies pictured above - as we all journey into the heart of who God created us to be. We'll each be sharing our hearts, on camera, with you. We'll also be talking about the ways God has made every one of us (that means you!) uniquely creative. Jeanne is a wildly successful fine artist, but this course is truly for everyone, and if you don't believe that? Remember I'm part of it. :) Jeanne has already opened my eyes to the ways I really am creative, and I'm pumped to explore that even more.
I can't think of a better time of year to settle in and mine God's heart for the truth about Shannan Martin. (And I can't wait for you to see the little video I'm putting together for the course!)
Will you join me?
Directions to register:
To join this free study you just need to be registered at jeanneoliver.ning.com (registering is free).
Once you are on the site you will find this study, free videos (business and art), my Creativity Takes Courage series and new online courses along the left hand side of the page.
You will find all of our courses/videos under the COURSES heading.

2) Go to the bottom of the course and click "view all" to find Becoming | The Unfolding of You
4) Click on Becoming | The Unfolding of You
3) Click the +join button on the upper right hand side
4) All of the details are on the page and you are all set for the study to begin on January 6, 2015
This study will be open and honest, real, Bible based and a bit of creativity too. Join us January 6, 2015 for this free online study!

Family Pictures & Why Marriage Is A Miracle
The main thing I want to call your attention to in this photo: Ruby appears to be a teenager.
The second thing is: We are ALL rocking at least partially-thrifted outfits!
I never want to go too matchy-matchy for family pics. It always looks contrived and if you're not careful, people start to blur together into one giant blob of khakis and denim.
This was my inspiration photo. I loved the casual, colorful vibe and their mix of prints.
In usual Shannan fashion, I didn't give it much thought until two days before, at which point I realized Calvin and Ruby were both in dire wardrobe straits. They have plenty of stuff, just not anything that would really work together for the common good. I wanted to find a flannel or plaid shirt for Calvin, with something floral for Rubes. There was a time when I would have run to Target or Old Navy. No more! So I did the next best thing and crossed my fingers for a hot streak of luck.
Lo, an angel appeared at my door the very next day with two garbage bags full of clothes for Calvin, all of which appeared to be next-to-new, including this shirt. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then I hit up a new Goodwill in a neighboring town and scored dusty pink Gap cords for Ruby, along with this *perfect* shirt, which still had the original tags attached.
{Cory's sweater came from my fave consignment store in town a few months ago, Silas is rocking hand-me-downs from his brother, and I'm wearing old Target jeans, a sweater I've had for 7 years, and a gray tank from my trip to the thrift store during Camp Create.}
All of this required minimal cash, next-to-no time, and Cory took exactly two photos. Boom. Don't over-think it.
Speaking of not over-thinking it...
We hauled the tripod over to the woods on a windy day. Voila.
This is so us. It makes me laugh.
And honestly, we KNEW this was happening. This was actually planned, people.
My niece is wearing a beautiful dress, Ruby is in tie-dye, Silas is dressed for Summer, Calvin for Fall. I'm wearing my mom's cardigan because I was chilly, along with a ponytail.
THIS IS US TRYING. Ish.
And this is Cory's family - of collected, coordinated, pre-scheduled fame.
Both families are equally rad. Both are full of good, caring people.
But these pics might hint at some underlying familial modes of operation that don't entirely align.
Cory and I grew up in shockingly similar families with values and traditions that were almost universally the same. His parents and mine get along like old mates. We're all fairly roll-with-the-punches people And still, given all of that, there are deep differences and subtle shifts in structure and ideals and tendencies that amount to these two very different photos.
This is why marriage is a miracle!
Two people come together knowing only what they know, and they somehow take some of this, a bit of that, and cut a brand new path, together. They raise their kids with old traditions and new philosophies and mash-up hybrids of everything that matters.
And then their kids grow up and do the same.
(Am I the only one humming Circle of Life right now? Because it feels positively croon-worthy up in here.)
Generation after generation, there are slow shifts and turns that measure in single degrees. Things begin to look different, but take a closer look. I don't think my little family operates profoundly differently than the families from generations before us.
Does this strike you as amazing as it does to me?
Or is it just my Earl Gray-and-Midol cocktail talking???
My family is basically a hydroponic tomato.
(So is yours.)
A gradual morphing of what always was.
Grown differently, but basically the same.
And to that, I give a rowdy, rebel-rousing, "Viva!"
Happy Monday, Beefsteaks.

This is How God Speaks
We're all in a time of uncertainty, aren't we? No matter what's going on in our world, there are unanswered questions and niggling feelings of internal wonkiness. We want what we don't want, we don't want what we do want. It's all a bit of a mess, and we've grown accustomed to the yank and shove of working out our faith, making it something that belongs to us, something that's all of us - fully in and through us.
Our words still ringing in my ears, I grabbed our kids' devotional book this morning and because 1) I'm not a morning person and 2) God is God and I am not, I read yesterday's page. By "accident".
So this is completely for me, but it's also for you. It's for the ladies who shared lunch with me and all the ones who came before. It's for those of you I may not share a chip basket with this side of eternity. (Sidenote: Jesus, keep the salsa coming!) We are in this together. We've been grafted into community with one another for a purpose.
So grab my hand, let's say what's true.
Follow Me. No matter where I lead you, just follow Me. Don't worry about how everything will turn out. Just trust Me, and I'll show you the way.Is that just what you needed, or is it just me?
Think of your life as an adventure, with Me as your Guide and Companion. Don't worry about where our path will lead tomorrow - just live in the adventure of today. Keep your mind on staying close to Me.
If our path takes us to the bottom of a steep cliff, don't be afraid. Just hold tightly to My hand, and take a deep breath. I'll help you climb all the way up to the top. And when we come to a peaceful resting place, stop there a while and rest with me.
The devotional ended with this, my very favorite Bible verse. Because of course it did.
"For I am confident that I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living." Psalm: 27:13-14
Happy Thursday, Homies.
Thanks for being my people.
*I only feel slightly too-bossy in saying you need this kids devotional in your casa. Even if you don't have kids, because sometimes we need God's word as plain and simple and profound as it was always meant to be.

Why Contentment Isn't Enough
Back when you asked me all your burnings questions, one of you asked, "If someone dropped $40k in your lap right this minute--what would you do with it? Can you justify going on vacation or do you easily talk yourself out of it because you could better spend that money feeding the hungry/housing the homeless, etc?"
Now THAT is a question.
In the 2 months since then, Cory and I have had 20 at least conversations about it. It's a fun one to ponder and I highly recommend it the next time your husband is relaxing on the couch with his nose in a book. :)
We've been all over the map. Family Vacation. Giving to missionaries. New camera lens (Cory). All of the throw pillows in all of the stores (Shannan). I daydreamed about replacing our towels and buying a good set of pans (the things that seem necessary after 15 years of marriage, but never seem to actually happen.) We'd like to finish the basement, and we tell ourselves we "need" to. (Another post for another day.) There's the despairing fact of our two troubled mini vans. And the looming threat of braces. And still, after all this time and all we've learned, there remains the pulsing instinct to "put it in savings".
Every time it came up, when the daydreams had thinned into the air around us and all that was left was the truth, we came back to this: We would pay off our house and immediately buy another one.
We'd buy something small and grubby, in our neighborhood. We'd doctor it up and figure out how to become landlords. And that's what we'd be. Against all logic, Dave Ramsey be danged.
If you'd asked that question two years ago, or even one, our answer would have been different.
But you can only sit around the table so many times with beautiful, broken people and watch the world close in on them before it starts to kill you a little. And isn't that the point of life? Aren't we suppose to lose ourselves?
We're in a season where God is making good on His promise to bring us a new community, and it's a community of brokenness and deep need. Patterns keep emerging, a never-ending rabbit trail, the curling loop of infinity.
It's the broken child who becomes the angry man who commits a crime who does the time who puts ink to all his pain who won't be hired who can't find a home who works for minimum wage who owes the system who doesn't see his kids who has no car who signs over his soul to a slumlord who is bled dry by greed who walks to work in the cold with a flame at his lips who wants to quit, wants to save, wants to dig out, wants to start fresh, wants to know God, wants to feel loved, wants to lock eyes with another human, wants to convince me his gang is full of "good people", wants to change, wants to move, wants to leave, wants to quit, wants to try try try. But can't.
Those blue eyes, they're so kind and he will never get out from under the system. Do we really want him to? Do we care?
We tell him to change, to prove it when he has, but would we even listen? Will his change ever look like enough to you and me?
Not when half his teeth are missing and "F**k the world" is scrawled across his forearm while our eight-year old sits with her bowl of soup, just two chairs down. Not when bed sheets covers his windows and he gets jittery when he needs a smoke. Not when he pays through the nose for a crap-hole because no one else will trust a felon. Not when nothing about him shows us he's moving up.
That's what we want. We want everyone to move up, to meet us where we are, but we keep climbing while they crawl and we know they'll never catch us. We kind of like it that way.
Do you want the secret to contentment? Break bread with someone who has nothing then watch their backs get smaller and disappear as they walk home on ice-covered streets wearing thin, zip-up hoodies. I dare you to go to bed that night and think about what you need. You'll fight sleep as you look around your cute, cozy bedroom. You'll swear you'd rip the fixtures from the ceiling and sell the duvet if you had to. Your cheeks will flame in the dark while you pretend your closet doesn't hold 12 pairs of shoes.
I've been so wrong, so long. This death is hard. It's painful.
People like to tell me it's okay to have nice things, or that it's wrong or prideful to get caught up in having less. I understand it. I feel some of those things, too. I don't think we're called to be monks or make our shoes from cardboard.
It makes us uncomfortable to consider choosing a life of lower means. We want our stuff so badly. I want it. I like it and I love it. It makes me happy, brings me joy, gives me something on which to hang a bit of my worth. My stuff defines me.
His does, too.
If I had this riddle all worked out I probably wouldn't be tapping these keys. We're learning to be more content, but I still have miles to go. All I have to do is look to the South, look to the North, and I'm schooled. It's in my face, and I still resist it every day. I find it impossible to reconcile the woman I am and the woman I'm meant to be.
It's not much, but here's what I know for sure about contentment: If you want more of it, stop only hanging around people who have as much as or more than you. Spend time with friends who tell you that every pay-day, they go to Goodwill and buy a dish or a pan or a sweater because a few months ago, they were evicted again, lost everything, and had to start over from scratch.
Here's one more thing: If you do this, you will never be truly content. Your wanting might mellow a bit, but it'll be replaced with the hot burn of injustice at point-blank range and you'll begin to believe it is your job to right some wrong things. You'll find it impossible to watch humans around you - humans you love - suffer.
The truth is, if $40,000 dollars fell into my lap, we'd take these kids of ours on a simple vacation. As sure as I'm sitting here, we'd make an unnecessary trip to Target and eat somewhere nice without that fluttery feeling in our gut. And then we'd find that little cottage and believe that it could change something for someone.
I guess I'm some kind of a holy roller this morning. I'm here running the aisles because I'm tired of sitting still. I'm spitting into the mic, crashing the cymbal, begging you to believe we were given this job, to find these people and love them straight to the cross. Let's not be content with contentment. Let's believe it's our high honor to give a rip.
We can support them in meaningful ways and love them to the feet of Jesus. From there, the rest of the work is His. We can do this, friends. We can do the job we were given - a tangible job, nothing theoretical or hypothetical about it. We can actually do actual things for His kingdom here on earth. Today.
We can decide to never be the same again.

Thrift Fix - 1.0
For the past year, various blog friends have harped (ever so nicely) on me to hop aboard the Stitch Fix bandwagon. A few made a great case, saying this is a needed service for women who don't have time to shop or don't trust themselves to put together an outfit that they'll feel great in.
While lots of people I love use Stitch Fix, it was never the right fit for me (ha), primarily because I don't buy retail very often. I'm a big believer in buying secondhand. It's the best value and it works against the popular norm of cranking out more "stuff" when this world has plenty. Plus, it requires a little more creativity and patience, both of which I could always exercise more.
So, welcome to Thrift Fix!
Every now and then, I host a sale of secondhand outfits I've put together with much love and affection, JUST FOR YOU. (You can read about the first sale, similar but not entirely the same, right here.)
I'm committed to buying ONLY things that I would wear. In fact, I feel some level of visceral pain that I can't keep all of this for moi. If I'm buying it, I love it. And I try to pair things up in a really FPFG sort of way, but remember that these are pieces you can mix-and-match however you'd like. They would also work well with things you already have!
Boss Notes
If you're interested in an outfit, leave me a comment with the outfit number (the number is directly BELOW the photo) along with your PayPal address. I will randomly choose a winner for each outfit and send you an invoice.
Shipping is only available to the Continental US.
Sadly, there are no returns. I do my best to accurately provide size information, making notes when items look larger or bigger than their actual size. If your outfit doesn't work, you can feel free to comb back through the comments and find someone else who might want it!
Comments will be open until tomorrow, at noon ET. (Saturday the 15th)
Outfit 1
heathered blue 3/4, scoop neck T - Old Navy, size XS
citron/light grey striped sweater - Old Navy, size XS
plaid scarf
Outfit 2
hunter gingham button-down - Gap, size XS
black turtleneck sweater with "leather" elbow patches - Max Studio, size XS
Outfit 3
navy flowered button-down - Banana Republic, size S
varsity cardigan - Forever 21, size S
Outfit 4
striped "dress" (it's short, so I'd definitely wear with leggings or skinnies, a thin belt and boots!) - Rue 21, size M (runs small, so would def be more of a S)
pinstriped button-down with ruffled front - American Eagle, size 4
(blurry! sorry!)
Outfit 5
grey long sleeved "Live Free" T-shirt - Old Navy, size S
leopard cardigan - Old Navy, size S
plaid scarf
Outfit 6
long, sage green sweater with pocket - Banana Republic, size S (runs a bit larger, more like M)
polka-dot thermal - Belle du Jour, size M
knit scarf
Outfit 7
knit sweater dress - size M (Think leggings and boots again!)
**Note** I discovered a tiny hole in the armpit when I was taking the photo. Should be an easy fix, but this is sold as-is!
Outfit 8
sheer, black flowered long-sleeve T - Free People, size S (runs big)
knit tank with swingy hem - Pink Rose, size M
(My friend Alison paired a tank over a LS t-shirt last week and I immediately vowed to do the same. Looked so cute!)
Outfit 9
blue pin-striped button-down with ruffle placket - Eddie Bauer, size M
grey polka-dot T - JCP, size L
*Note: This T has a loose, slightly-cropped cut.
Outfit 10
navy blue courduroy blazer - H&M, size 10 (runs small)
cobalt woven tank - Ann Taylor Loft, size M
Outfit 11
flannel - Club Room, size L
flowered thermal - Mossimo, size L
(Flannels are HUGE right now and this monochromatic pairing is a great way to break into mixing patterns.) :)
Outfit 12
loose, comfy-knit grey T - Whisper, no size (looks like a Large, but could work for a Med, too. I have a similar shirt and wear it ALL THE TIME. Looks cute with leggings (it has a longer hem in back) or skinnies!)
navy blue scarf - (this thing is huge, like the scarves I wear! you can twist it up a million different ways.)
Outfit 13
Xhileration dress, NEW WITH TAGS! - size XL
thin, studded wrap bracelet
(People. This dress is so killer. I wish it could be mine. Black tights and black booties!!!)
Outfit 14
white, comfy-knit shirt - Old Navy, size XL
black/gray gingham scarf
(Same notes as gray T above. This is the sort of thing I live in. Would probably need a cami or tank underneath.)
Outfit 15
blue pin-striped button-down with ruffle placket - Old Navy, size XXL
burnt orange velvet blazer - Talbots, size 16
*This is one of my all-time favorite thrift finds. I have a velvet blazer that I wear ALL the time. It's so polished but also looks great with a junky T underneath. The color in this photo is way off. Sorry. It's a much more mellow, burnt orange. And the blazer appears to be brand new!
Thrifty Luv 4-Ever,

State AG forms commission to combat human trafficking
At a press conference Thursday, Delaney said an estimated 200,000 American children, some as young as 11 years old, are recruited each year by pimps who force them into prostitution.
A federal report found the majority of domestic victims enslaved in the sex industry are runaway and homeless youth.
Nationally, 450,000 children run away from home each year. One of every three teens on the street will be lured toward prostitution within 48 hours of leaving home, state and federal officials say, meaning at least 150,000 children are lured into prostitution each year.
Delaney noted the problem exists in New Hampshire, where state residents pay the pimps every weekend while the children are exploited.
He said one problem is the victims are sometimes treated like criminals by the system when they really need to be treated as the victims they are.
Delaney hopes the new commission will help standardize the treatment of trafficking victims.
The attorney general wants to use the commission to build a network of New Hampshire agencies and organizations to work collaboratively against human trafficking in the state.
The task force members include representatives from state, federal and local agencies; social service providers; law enforcement; attorneys and victim advocates.
New Hampshire was among the first states to make human trafficking a crime in 2009, but to date there has not been a unified effort, Delaney said. He said part of the commission's work will be to develop better training for law enforcement and other emergency personnel on how to recognize the victims of human trafficking.
"The Commission to Combat Human Trafficking hopes to continue to fight human trafficking in New Hampshire by identifying victims of human trafficking and creating pathways to connect them to services, by developing protocols on the handling of these cases, by providing multidisciplinary trainings throughout the state and by strengthening our state law," he said.
Delaney's announcement coincides with the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Attorneys for the petitioners who filed a complaint against the use of the term REDSKINS for the Washington pro football team filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the US Supreme Court on Monday of this week.In 1992, Suzan Harjo led seven Native Americans in petitioning the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ("TTAB") to cancel six trademark registrations used by the Washington Redskins and owned by Pro-Football, Inc. The TTAB granted the petition, and the owner appealed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, which overturned the cancellation on two grounds. The District Court found that the TTAB lacked substantial evidence to find disparagement, and that the petition was barred by laches – an equitable legal theory which prohibits a party from waiting so long to file a claim that it becomes unfair to the other party. The Redskins had registered their marks as early as 1967 – when the youngest of the complainants was one year old. The complainants then appealed this decision to the DC Court of Appeals.The Court of Appeals upheld the District Court's holding that laches was a valid defense in a disparagement case. It vacated the District Court's application of laches to one of the complainants, however, and remanded the case for further consideration on that issue only. It retained jurisdiction over the rest of the case (including the question of whether the TTAB's decision had been supported by substantial evidence), pending the District Court's resolution of the laches issue.The Native Americans claimed that laches should not apply to a disparagement claim at all, because the law specifies that such a claim can be brought "at any time". The Court rejected this, noting that other language in the same statute specifically permits equitable defenses, and laches is such a defense. The Court then considered the applicability of laches to the case at hand. Because the defense depends on the laxity of the plaintiff in pursuing his rights – which can not effectively be pursued until the plaintiff has reached the age of majority – the Court found that the defense could not be applied against the one plaintiff who had been a minor until recently, and therefore that the plaintiff had not slept on his rights.The Court acknowledged the assertion by the owner that this finding would leave trademarks disparaging a group with a constantly expanding population "perpetually at risk": The fact that Pro-Football may never have security in its trademark registrations stems from Congress's decision not to set a statute of limitations and instead to authorize petitions for cancellation based on disparagement "at any time".The case was remanded to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for further proceedings. In July 2008, that court found that the doctrine of laches was still applicable to the particular plaintiffs in this case, because the youngest plaintiff had turned 18 eight years before the case was filed.The Writ of Certiorari will concern the question of whether a disparagement claim is barred by laches or if it may be brought at any time. A response to the Writ is due by October 16, 2009. Of the approximately five thousand cases a year for which review by the US Supreme Court is sought, fewer than 5 % are granted Certiorari. If the case is denied Cert, the decision below will stand, and the REDSKINS trademark will not be impacted.

Since the early 2000's I have trusted James W. Pravel, of Pravel Intellectual Property Law, PC, at Alexandria, Virginia 22314, to manage my clients' TM and patent applications and registrations with the USPTO.
Along these something more than ten years I have realized with satisfaction that Mr. Pravel has given attentive care and alertness to all my files. We have had together some difficult cases that, I must say, were finally conducted along satisfying paths thanks to his sheer personal interest in solving the obstacles, often raised by unexpected sources.
Other of Mr. Pravel's qualities that I have in high regard is the sober honesty with which he uses to discuss my opinions when necessary.

a resident of Portola Valley: Ladera

The Stanford expansion will be a traffic nightmare on the Alpine Road corridor. Worse than the morning and evening plugged up roads. Add to that the construction trucks and labor that will add to the usual mess, and time to pass Stanford from Ladera in the morning and evening will mount. Even the new Santa Cruz - Sand Hill - Junipero Serra interchange is gridlocked most evenings around 6 PM.
Stanford needs its own Freeway Interchange on 280 with overpasses into the campus when a major road is crossed.
