10 Fixes For A Bad Hair Day
I love the summer heat, but even my naturally straight, relatively easy-to-deal-with hair has trouble on a humid day. Especially now that I get it colored so often. Plus, who has the time to deal with whatever craziness is happening on your head in the morning? I'm too busy changing my outfit 15 times and looking for a complete pair of shoes. (Where was my other red Converse this morning when I needed it?) Here are all of the things I use when things just aren't going my way (like today).
Tip for those who let their hair air dry: When I get out of the shower, I wear a beanie around my apartment while I wait for my hair to dry. It's less frizzy and poufy this way.

Life at the Governor's Mansion: First Kids Make their Beds, Everyone Pitches In
After eight months as first family, Governor Brian Sandoval, his wife Kathleen, and their three children have settled into their new home at the governor's mansion in Carson City.

'Wild Thing' Becomes Part of the Family
We adopted our wild horse, Bandit, from the prison in Carson City when he was two and a half years old. He's seven now, and the farrier who trims his feet lets him stand quietly, untied. We call it the 'spa treatment.'
Bandit got his name at the prison, along with four months of training from [...]

Hank starts reflecting on an arrest he made earlier in his career regarding a man who committed murder claiming self-defense against monsters. With the man's death sentence rapidly approaching and the knowledge he's recently gathered from Nick, Hank begins to wonder if there was more truth to the man's seemingly absurd story then he once thought. Back at the spice shop, Monroe finds himself involved in a situation he never saw coming.

@umbra21 - I would have to know that the person had a lot of experience with nutrition and psychology before I would want them to be my counselor. Otherwise you might as well just find a good friend to help you out.
There is just so much information about weight loss available everywhere it seems like a waste of money to pay someone to tell you about it.
And there are Over-eaters Anonymous meetings that you can go to if you're really interesting in getting into the emotion aspects of food. Or you could just go to a regular counselor.
They might not have as many weight loss recipes at their fingertips, but at least they are likely to be a professional.

Despite the May gloom that overtook Montauk during Memorial Day weekend, revelers at Solé East and Navy Beach clinked glasses in celebration of the launch of Ben Watts's new wine, the aptly title WattsUp Rosé. The crisp pink-hued wine that hails from Rioja, Spain is a collaboration between the Rosé-enthusiast photographer and new venture Wine Awesomeness, a thoroughly modern wine club that started out of Charleston, SC, with a creative view on choosing a good grape and a philanthropic soul.

I woke up Sunday morning realizing that this next week ahead of us is packed to the gills. The lists are long, time is short, and transitions are tricky, so I am trying to start the week as organized as possible. Reading your thoughts from that last post on quilting really got me in the mood to start (or better, finish) a couple of quilts I've been working on and thinking about, buuuuut unfortunately those types of projects will have to wait until the end of these next few crazy days. Why is it we're most motivated to start a new project when there's really no time I ask?? My pinterest board of things I'd like to make runneth over...
In the meantime, I have been wanting to share my new way of storing my yarn. One of the trickiest parts of having/keeping/using my yarn stash is that I find myself pulling out every skein and ball just to find a particular color I'm looking for. Not to mention that it was an Anthropolgie shopping bag that I was pulling them out of. Pretty enough bag, true, but not really something I'm interested in leaving out in my family room. I stole this idea from February issue of Living Etc and so far its working out beautifully. I found the large glass vase at, you guessed it, IKEA. (And there's a larger size too, so yarn hoarders take note!). The vase is exactly the shape I wanted, slightly wider at the top, but a clean shape. It's great because I can see every color in my stash, grab it, and use it without scattering balls of yarn all over the coffee table (which I will be the first to admit I don't always pick up right away).
Plus I don't mind looking at it.
And I will be looking at it longingly this week.
xo, Blair

SEVEN Days Until the MFT November Release!
All of these new products will be available for purchase on November 12th @ 10 PM Eastern.
I'm starting off this countdown with another gorgeous set from Lisa Johnson Designs - LJD Vintage Frames.
I started with a card base in Smooth White Card Stock and then cut out the Chevron Cover-Up Die-namics and layered it over the top of the card base. I love the embossed look it gives the background; it's a beautiful way to dress up plain card stock.
I cut out the LJD Vintage Frame Die-namics and then stamped the frame in Berrylicious Ink and then the sentiment inside is stamped in Steel Grey Ink. I popped it up over a couple Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics and then added the Layered Vine Border Die-namics in Gumdrop Green Card Stock. The little flowers are the scalloped center of the Hybrid Camellia Flower Die-namics, which I accented with a pink pearl. The layout is CTS #52 from CAS(E) this Sketch.
Be sure to stop by the MFT Blog for a complete list of designers playing along in today's Teaser AND find out how you can win some MFT goodies!

Character actor and meme muse Steve Buscemi will sit in the director's chair once again. But rather than tackling episodes of shows like 30 Rock and Nurse Jackie, as he has in the past, Mr. Buscemi is heading to the Roseland Ballroom.
Digital Spy reports that Mr. Buscemi has agreed to direct the live stream of a Vampire Weekend concert taking place there on April 28. Apparently, Vampire Weekend's bassist recently discovered Mr. Buscemi is actually a distant cousin.
And with that, all of Brooklyn fell silent in awe.

Serious interest in buying Poland's Lotos Group has come only from Russian companies, making the sale of the government-owned refiner politically problematic before this autumn's parliamentary election.
Unofficially, the Russian companies who submitted bids for Lotos before the treasury ministry's deadline at the end of last month include TNK BP, GazpromNeft and Rosneft, according to Poland's Parkiet newspaper.
Russian companies have long been interested in Lotos, the country's second largest refiner – which owns a modern refinery in northern Poland as well as a chain of petrol stations and some oil production on the Baltic Sea – as a way of gaining a foothold in the Polish market.

In 2011, Anna Stohr and Juliane Wurm came to the U.S. to prepare for the Boulder World Cup. Part of their training included time with Lynn Hill. While the two young women are at the top of their sport, they realize they still have a lot to learn from Hill, who was the first person to free the Nose in Yosemite (which is considered to be one of the most impressive climbing feats in the twentieth century). Hill introduces Stohr and Wurm to crack climbing in Utah. As they head up Castleton Tower, this short film by Stephanie Brockhaus documents how Hill shares her wisdom and experience with these two young women

What would you do?
Posted 18 May 2009 - 04:40 PM
I tend to agree with Puzuma. Most commercial fields don't allow climbing in trees to play paintball for liability reasons. If tree climbing was prohibited, then the player broke field policy and safety rules, his shots upon opponents would not count, and he would have been ejected from the field. His bonus-balling would be further justification for ejection. Your retribution may have made you feel better, but despite the fact that he had broken the rules in shooting you from a tree, and bonus-balled you, if you broke the rules in returm and he fell from the tree, you could be liable for any injuries he suffered. While you were not responsible for him being in the tree, your actions could be directly responsible for him falling from the tree.

Fremont County farmers should be harvesting a huge crop of apples right now, but a late freeze damaged the crop.
On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture declared Fremont County a natural disaster area. The freeze occurred between April 30 and May 3.
Also included in the disaster declaration: Chaffee, Custer, El Paso, Park, Pueblo, Teller and Saguache counties.
The disaster designation makes farmers eligible to apply for aid from the Farm Service Agency.

Customer Ratings:
ALL PROS/NO CONS: Best moisture I've ever found (that didn't also leave a crisco oil slick on my face). So gentle & no fragrance for my very sensitive skin. Like to sometimes leave this on all night when I'm very dry. Works great as eye cream at night! Less redness and no flakes on my skin now.
I had this for two years before I used it. I don't like removing a thick mask from my face so I procrastinated. Prompted by a great sale, I thought I would try it and see what happened. My face and hands tend to flake and after one use my hands cleared up for the first time in 10 years. It's a light, elegant formula but moisturizing and soothing. I love it. One of the best products she makes. Can leave on overnight. Have never had any irritation and I have sensitive skin. Fantastic!
Love this product at night. When you are too tired, or flat do not want to go through all the necessary evening routine, slap this on. Wash, cleanse and apply this mask to your face and head to bed. Its an amazing break for the skin and provides a beautiful combo of antioxidants and moisture. After about 5 min of skin time, you are free to sleep on your face. The prduct does not transfer, and is moisturizing and refreshing. I have oily skin and still find this necessary.
I received 2 sample packs of this with my order. It is AMAZING for dry skin, and even more amazing for dry, peeling, flaky patches on my nose and cheeks. Will order full-size.
Whether I leave it on 10 minutes or overnight it takes away the flaky look my skin gets because of dryness and rosacea and does indeed calm and soothe the redness. Love! Finally purchasing full size!
I have been using the Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer as an eye cream for a few months and love it! I received the mask as a sample and have to say, I think the mask "sinks in" better and leaves my under eyes even softer. When I am done with the recovery moisturizer, I will buy this one as my new "eye cream".
This is a fantastic moisturizer for my very dry skin with rosacia. It's better than the Skin Recovery Moisturizer and a much better value - twice the size for almost the same price. Alas, something in it makes my skin tingle and get red, or, actually, redder. So I'll buy the Skin Recovery Moisturizer from now on.
I don't use this as a mask -- I just leave it on. Benzoyl peroxide leaves the skin around my mouth flaky, and no regular moisturizer could solve that hot problem. This works.
I have used this product for some years as an occasional overnight deep moisturizing treatment - usually during a cold Canadian winter (I keep it on all night) and found it worked wonders. However, I recently had a Fractora procedure which left my skin very dry and dehydrated. The doctor advised me to use a very emollient cream for the first few days to help with the dryness. I used my Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask every night for a week and my skin healed up beautifully.
My skin is flaking like crazy after using retinol/tretinoin. This mask is AMAZING to apply to those areas both day and night. It keeps them away the whole day - no need to be reapplying moisturizers all day long like I had to at work before I bought this Mask.
Amazing!!!!!! I have, or had , I must say veeeeryyyy dry skin , for years I tried many creams, masks, oils, hoping one of them worked . NONE of them ever did.
Thank GOD!!! This product works !!! I'm extremely happy.
I recommend anyone with very dry skin to purchase this hydrating treatment mask. You wont regret it .
I've had eczema with very sensitive skin all my life (currently 57), with my eyelids being the MOST sensitive spot, so I'm VERY cautious about trying anything new in this area. When I began reacting to my former eye cream, I tried the regular Skin Recovery moisturizer, which works GREAT and didn't irritate! But once in awhile I need something even richer, and this fits the bill. The best part is, I can now use eyeshadows that were somewhat irritating; as a color/eyeshadow freak, that's amazing!
I've become dependent upon this, using it 2x daily as a moisturizer. Used sparingly, it absorbs quickly & leaves my comb. skin feeling contently hydrated w/o looking or feeling greasy. Tried to reorder @ mid May when running low but it was out of stock. Every drop of my last tube is now gone (even cut the end off to scrape out every last bit).
I have fallen in love with this product as my skin has gotten drier. My skin is very sensitive/reactive/rosacean/dry/flaky. There are times when I use this every day and I have never broken out from it. It completely stops the flakes and peeling, and keeps my skin from feeling rough. I love that it's unscented, unlike so many skincare brands. Can use it near my eyes for crow's feet with no problem. When I use it before bedtime, I wake up with glowing skin. Can't say enough good things about it!
I ordered a few samples of this miracle face mask and was shocked with how well they worked. I have dry skin that, unfortunately, I had over-exfoliated. My face had been slightly red, irritated, and flaking. That is, until I put on this wonder mask. I left the mask on overnight, since I badly need it, and woke up to find soft, non-flaky, well-moisturized skin for the first time in months. I can't wait for this item to come back in stock, since I'm hoping to buy up a several bottles!
This mask feels amaaaazing! It soaks right in and feels wonderful for dry skin. I use it as a moisturizer on very dry days as well.
At 40 I've had forehead dryness for 2 years I could not control. I tried exfoliation and many moisturizers and oils. After leaving this on my forehead it made a huge difference. The first night I did this it left it just slightly pink in a.m. (didn't feel irritated though), so you may not want to leave it on overnight if your skin is very sensitive or not very dry. However, I've used it 4x since with no reaction. Please don't discontinue.
Mask is excellent and smells nice . Hydrates and improves skin. A little tricky to rinse off,but a great product.
I've Googled "best eye cream" dozens of times trying to find something that works. As i get older, the skin around my eyes looks drier and drier and nothing seems to help. How much have I spent?!
After just one night of sleeping with this mask slathered around my eyes they looked markedly better. I'm now using it day and night as a moisturizer for the eye area and once a week as an all-over mask. No breakouts, no irritation, just baby-butt-soft skin and a more plump, moist eye area.
I have only used this once as I think I may have applied a little too much of the weekly resurfacing treatmet and after a few days I found the area that didnt need it so much was dry and flaky, and after one night this really hydrated my skin even after only leaving it for 20 minutes - think I need one more use of this and my skin should be back to normal until the weather changes once again! Thanks Paula once again for an amazing product
I love this mask and let me tell you why! I have very fair, prone to burning skin. I use high SPF on my face and body but when we went to the beach in California on vacation I still burned. I used this on my face and shoulders every night in the shower. Now I rinsed because I can't stand that "greasy" feeling. But it did the trick, I didn't peel or have that tight feeling! It helped the red go away faster and hopefully helped minimize some of the damage that the sun did! Thank you Paula!
Oh my gosh! This feels fabulous straight out of the bottle and dusts any other mask I've tried! I use it after the resist intense wrinkle repair retinol serum as the retinol does irritate my skin. It helps even out my skin tone and soothes! Absolutely love it! I am up in the dry, cold north and this potentially could be too much come summer, but then I plan on changing up my serum to the ultra light anyway. Awesome product I will be keeping around for irritation flare ups and dry skin!
I ordered the small sample size and am amazed that I have had 4 uses from it and probably have 1 application left. This lotion is amazing. I have very dry skin and am prone to breakouts. I get flaky skin around my nose and have redness in my cheeks. I have been using this mask 2x a week and sleeping with it on. It makes my skin feel like satin. It doesn't smell, it's not greasy, and it doesn't make me break out. Even my children have noticed that Mommy's skin is softer! Thanks Paula!!
I have normal skin with some dry areas. I can't use this mask every day or leave it on over night but I use it as a weekly treatment for 15 minutes when my skin seems overly dry or just dull from a week's worth of abuse from my makeup. My skin is instantly glowing and feels so soft. This doesn't cause me to break out at all. Wonderful product!
I purchased the moisturizer to help my skin that was becoming drier as I aged but I did not expect it to help a patch of dry, flaky skin under my eye that had been resistant to other products. Two doctors could not help & I was ready to see my dermatologist when I noticed about a week after using the mask that the flaky patch was just about gone! This is a keeper because I like the overall way my face looks & the dry patch is gone!
What makes this product unique?Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask contains an outstanding combination of rich plant oils, essential fatty acids, and lipids that dry skin needs to repair and replenish itself. Plant- and vitamin-based antioxidants soothe and reduce inflammation that worsens signs of aging. The creamy, emollient-packed formula feels wonderfully moist on the skin. It works to instantly restore radiance and banish signs of dryness. Skin Recovery Mask has such a creamy, silky texture it can also be used as a moisturizer around the eye area and on the neck.
This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free.
Who is this product for?Skin Recovery Mask is recommended for those with normal to very dry skin but can be used by anyone who needs an intense moisturizer on the face, neck, or chest.

For best results, how often do I need to use Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask?
What is the difference between Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask and Paula's moisturizers for normal to very dry skin? Couldn't I just use Skin Recovery Replenishing Moisturizer as a moisturizing mask?

Take a tour of our headquarters in Newcastle upon Tyne. The short film includes some images of the building in operation in 1920 as a Telegraph Office and its condition in 1997 when acquired by redbox.
The building which is now our Headquarters in Newcastle upon Tyne was purpose built as a Post Office in 1876. It is remarkable that the majority of the building with its two superimposed giant orders – Roman Doric for the porch, and Corinthian above – remains largely unaltered from the original plans to the present day. The first floor space which is now the main design studio of redboxdesign group was originally the Telegraph Office and a contemporary description of the operations in the new building states:
"The work is done quickly and surely; rapid energy is concentrated on distinct and well-practised duties; hurry for the time is everywhere, but there is complete quiet and an entire absence of confusion"
With the addition of a good dose of flair, it would be nice to think that the same description could apply to the current work in hand in the new premises.
The complex remained in use as the main Post Office in the city until 1993 when day to day business was transferred elsewhere. At the height of its use there were over 2,000 people employed with the Telegraph Office alone employing 370 staff handling over 30,000 telegrams a day – more than one per second on average.
Following complete closure in 1993 the building went into rapid decline until bought by redbox in 1997 and subsequently revitalised between 1998 and 2000. Whilst the new development secured the future of this beautiful building into the 21c it is interesting to note that in many ways what has actually been achieved is not really a new use for an old building but in many ways simply a continuum of technology activities from the past, albeit with a significant system upgrade. Whilst the main design studio makes extensive use of leading edge technology associated with information transfer this in many ways simply replicates what was happening in the building 125 years previous when, without doubt, the use of telegraphy would have been perceived as much cutting edge as today's world wide web.
It is rather comforting to think that the new development has simply facilitated a reincarnation of the original purpose of the building.

Hey Mom, I'm Moving To Kingston!
An American in Jamaica
Submitted by April D. Thompson
So it didn't quite go down like the title suggests. In fact, I didn't even tell my mother I was moving to Jamaica until after I actually arrived. Not that I don't love her, but she, like many others, just wouldn't understand. I'm a firm believer that it's always better to ask for forgiveness than permission and I'd rather have her just deal with what I did than spend weeks giving me a million reasons why I shouldn't go.
So why Jamaica?
For a while, I neglected the Caribbean. In my mind, it was nothing more than a bunch of islands with crystal blue water and white sand beaches. Once you've been to one, you've been to them all (so I thought). So after numerous trips to Puerto Rico for work, Christmas in the Bahamas and a visit to the Dominican Republic, I gave the Caribbean a break.
It wasn't until I received an invitation to a good friend's wedding that the Caribbean was back on my radar and this time my sights were set on Jamaica.
I brought my mother along for the 5 day wedding events held at the RIU in beautiful Ocho Rios. Outside of the ride from Sangster airport to the resort, I felt like I had been transported from Jamaica to some other destination. Yes, there was the beach and crystal blue water, but it just felt sterile. It was so crazy to see the hordes of visitors dressed head to toe in green, gold and black, but complaining about the accents, turning up their noses at the already very limited Jamaican food on the buffet among many other complaints and proud to not set foot outside of the resort walls until their transfer to the airport.
On the third night, I finally broke free and took a 15 minute ride to a beach party recommended by a new Jamaican friend I met through Couchsurfing.org. I hung out on the beach, ate the best fried chicken with rice and peas ever and enjoyed the vibes. The DJ was doing his thing and despite the numerous requests from guys vying to be my "Winston" or offers for me to take hit of their spliff, I had an amazing time and didn't want to go back to the confines of the resort.
The next morning, I awoke my mother and dragged her down to the center of Ochi for breakfast: Ackee and salt fish, boiled banana, dumpling and yam. Instead of heading back to the RIU, I asked the driver to take us around for a bit. I rode around and walked Ochi, drove up to Fern Gully and neighboring communities and talked to anyone who didn't think I was crazy.
In just those short hours, something just clicked. I don't really know how to explain it. I'm not sure if it was the friendly smiles and conversation, continuously being called empress, queen and princess or maybe I was just delirious from a lack of blood from the mosquitoes feasting on my poor little legs. Whatever it was, something about Jamaica was different. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, so a few short months later, I came back to do Jamaica my way.
I dragged along one of the homies and we crashed at a friend's guest house for the duration of our stay. No room service or wrist bands, but probably one of the best trips I've ever had. We rented a car and drove along the north coast sampling a bit more of what Ochi, Mobay and Negril had to offer. Over the next 18 months, I continued to return, again and again for quick trips and even a 3 week stint.
This time, I'm happy to be here a little longer. For the next three months (maybe longer), I will call Jamaica home; Kingston to be exact. I moved into a quaint apartment a short walk from the busy Half Way Tree transportation depot and look forward to my new life. So far, so good. Christmas went off without a hitch and I look forward to checking out all of the events I typically miss on my shorter trips to the island, like Jazz and Blues, Maroon Festival and so much more. I'm dying to explore the south coast and head east to Port Antonio to explore the more of the other treasures of my new (albeit temporary) island home. I can't wait to really dig into the live music scene… and then there's the food ….*Homer Simpson drool*….So much to do, so little time.
I'm incredibly grateful for all of the posts and stories on Jamaica My Way and Chronicles of a Shipwreck in Jamaica for confirming that for one, I'm not crazy and two, that I can really make this all work with a little thought and planning. I just had to.
If you are in Jamaica and want to link up, let me know. I would love to connect with the JMW crew because it is truly the people I've met in Jamaica that have made this little island one of my favorite places on earth!
Cheers to the next adventure!

Thanks for that CDA! I'm sure our paths will cross in the near future! And yes, I know she cares and I appreciate her concern. She's doing what moms do.

April, I just "met" you, but you sound like my kind of girl!
I pulled a similar stunt on my mom when I decided to move to Europe. I didn't actually travel there without telling her, I just showed her the plane ticket I had bought. To say she wasn't happy is an understatement. She ranted and raved, but she got over it. And this Christmas she gave me one of the best compliments she's ever given me. She said, I love you because you're my daughter, but I admire you as a person because you have the balls of ten men. LOL It's perhaps the nicest thing she's ever said to me. Your mom will be fine and no matter what you do she'll always have your back. I guarantee it. It's just a mom thing.
I really wish I was in Jamaica now. Your post inspired a wicked bout of homesickness for the island in me. It's freakin' cold, wet and icy as heck here in Norway. I hope when next I'm there we can link up. You seem like a whole lot of fun!

So true, JC. I've always had wanderlust. Personal struggles in the past few years resulted in me not travelling as much as I would have liked, but running into amazing, trailblazing black female travellers like Oneika and April gave me the kick I needed to get back on the bandwagon. My home loving, security seeking mom have never been able to understand my wandering ways (sometimes I feel a little bad for her, that God should bless her with a wild woman of a daughter like me), but I love her for loving me anyway.

Congrats, April! Glad you're settling in well and that you've had a chance to link up with Kristi. I'll keep checking on both of you via your blogs and who knows…maybe I'll even make it down there to hang with you both in person!

LOL I was in the tribe offline, meaning I'm a black female frequent traveller. I've just never thought to document my escapades online like the others.
I joined the online tribe by pure coincidence. I came upon Nicole's (of Nicole is the new black) blog which led me to Oneika which led me to April which led me to a whole host of other black female travel bloggers. It's been awesome! All this time, jetting off here jetting off there, I thought I was alone! So happy to find out that I'm not! I love that black women (Jamaican women) are spreading their wings far beyond their comfort zone because having travelled (though I've only been to 15 countries) has enriched my life so much. The internet is an amazing tool to bring us all together! I'm loving it.
The ladies also inspired me to stop slacking about and actually POST something on my own blog! Travelling and film making are my two greatest passions, and blogging is a great way to share these passions with the world. And it can be darn therapeutic too! LOL Check it out if you like by clicking on my name.
It's great to "met" you. What's your story? Do you have a blog?
Like or Dislike: 2 0
Oh right! Sorry about that … LOL For some reason I thought the blog owner was named Kristi (is that you, only posting as JC?).
Anyway, its great that you're into film making as well. I've been longing to connect with film makers with ties to the island for a long time.
The Norwegian Film Council is offering 500 000 euros in production funding to developing countries so my production company wants to take advantage of this opportunity. Our latest project is one that we've been developing for some time. Hopefully now we'll get the money to make the film. I'm optimistic that we will.
I'll chronicle my journey to come up with a shootable script on my blog so if this is of interest follow me for updates.

Wow, sounds exactly like my mom too. Minus the balls of 10 men comment. LOL She doesn't get it but loves me just the same. The even shared my post this morning on her Facebook page.
It is amazing how the love for travel, or Jamaicaor whatever commonality can bring total strangers together! The universe is awesome like that!
@Shelly — Go ahead and get that blog updated
@Nailah — Haven't officially met JC yet, but it feels like we have from the tribe and the blog. Can't wait to finally connect in person, hopefully in Jamaica!

Great! Follow my blog then as that would be the easiest way for me to keep you up to date on how its coming along. But keep in mind it's not really a "Dudus" script . Though the scandal surrounding his arrest and extradition will factor into the main story arc, it's not his story.
I don't want to make a film that glorifies drug lords or violence, enough of those type of films have come out of Jamaica already. I want to make a Jamaican love story, with the exploration of universal themes that affect the individual, the average Jamaican just trying to live their lives the best way they can. Love, betrayal, trying to make it against all odds, forgiveness … I'm hoping to make a film that will have some cross over appeal.
It's a long shot, but I'm even writing one of the lead roles with my idol and dream man Idris Elba in mind. Hey, he did Legacy which was a super low budget film by a first time director so there's a chance he'll say yes! I remain optimistic, God help me!

WOW! I just got back from Jamaica about a month ago, after suddenly deciding to go. I had dreamed of visiting for most of my life but I kept telling myself it would probably be"just another island in the sun". I had an epiphany there, a sudden awareness, of joy, freedom, connectedness, simplicity…Im planning to go back very soon and like you, rent an apt. for atleast 2 or 3 months, get to know what life would be like spending long periods of time there, and hopefully, move there and open a business. You ve definetely given me inspiration and a vote of confidence with your story, maybe we can link up next time i go? I would love to meet you and share our love for Jamaica:) Stay Blessed!

I am very excited to be participating in the series: 28 Days of Play, hosted by Rachel Cedar of YouPlus2Parenting. Rachel is asking the intriguing and maybe even uncomfortable question: Do you play with your children?
Please join me today over at Rachel's to read what I have been too reluctant to have ever shared with a parenting group.
You can also link to the series through an article about 28 Days of Play on the NBC/Today Show Website. While you are there, check out some of the other amazing writers who will be joining in 28 Days of Play. And check out Rachel's parenting coaching from the heart.
To read Dana's beautiful Day 1 essay, click here.
I would also love to hear from you. Do you play with your children?
§ 4 Responses to Play
The nature of playing with my children has changed now that they are 11 and 13. Play now consists of showing a REAL interest in their friends, interests, and games, even trying my hand at some of the video games (that make my 48 year old eyes dizzy). We still play board games at times. I think the most important thing is to remind them to keep playing. As their school and after-school responsibilities change, it's getting harder for them to play creatively in real (non-virtual) space.

by Dean Lawrence R. Velvel by Dean Lawrence R. Velvel
There is an aspect of the killing of Zarqawi about which I have read no comment whatever, although the bare facts have been reported, if sometimes conflictingly. The absence of any comment, it seems to me, speaks volumes about what the country has become.
Zarqawi, as all know, was not the only one killed when two 500-pound bombs were dropped on the safe house. Two other men were killed there, two women were also, and though the military spokesman at first denied it (read lied about it), so was a small child who is now said to have been five or six years old. There have been some Iraqi reports that one of the women and the child, a girl, were Zarqawi's wife and daughter. There have been other reports that they may have been former tenants or something. Who knows who they were at this point? All we can know with relative certainty now is that there were two women and a small girl, as well as Zarqawi, and two other men, one of whom was his spiritual adviser, whom we tracked to the house.
Whether the third man was an Al Qaeda operative, and whether the two women were operatives or bystanders (regardless of whether one was Zarqawi's wife), are unknown to the American public. One thing we can be certain of, though, is that the five or six year old child was not an Al Qaeda operative. She, at least, was beyond dispute an innocent.
Now, at the somewhat superficial level, this raises the obvious question. Why did we bomb the house, thereby insuring the death of all inside? (We used bombs so powerful that they created huge craters, which the military promptly had filled in by bulldozers, no doubt to hide the power of the explosives that were used. Anyone who has ever seen bomb craters, though, as I did in North Viet Nam, can just imagine what the whole deal must have looked like (not to mention the pictures that have been shown).) Why didn't we surround it, attack it, rush it, etc., instead of blowing it to smithereens with two 500-pound bombs, with the certainty of killing all inside.
Now, speaking frankly, given the limited information currently in my possession, I want to concede up front that, had it been me making the decision, instead of it being made by the officers who actually were on the ground and by other officers who were back at various headquarters monitoring the situation by video and either radio or telephone, I probably would have made the same decision. So one claims no superior morality here, even if one decision rather than another would have been superior morality, which can be questioned in light of the desirability of insuring Zarqawi's death. But the fact that one might have made the same, apparently time-pressured decision, does not mean that the questions will go away.
So why did we bomb the house instead of forcing entry? Well, a couple of reasons apparently have been given by Caldwell, who is apparently something of a liar — or, at minimum, is willing to make ex cathedra statements to the press even when he has no idea what the truth is — and by that ignorant murderous jerk, Rumsfeld. The reasons include a claimed fear that Zarqawi might again get away — he is claimed to have had a 360 degree possibility of retreat from the house — and an unwillingness to risk American lives against what could turn out to be a heavily defended target. And I'll add yet another reason. Maybe those inside would all, or mostly, have been killed in a heavy firefight anyway (although this certainly is not as likely as that they would all be killed in the explosions of two 500-pound bombs).
These claimed or imaginable reasons raise other questions, however. Were there American and/or Iraqi troops surrounding the house, thus making an escape by Zarqawi unlikely at least during daylight? Bystanders speak of what would seem to be lots of commandos rappelling down from helicopters early-on, while sometimes other reports seem to indicate that only a few Americans were on the scene initially though many more arrived one or two hours later. How many Iraqi troops were there and when did they get there? This is unclear. And what did we know about who was in the house, and did we care who was in it?
The military hasn't said whether we knew who was in it, and no doubt it will refuse to say so, claiming this would compromise its intelligence sources and methods — such claims, and secrecy, are, after all, the policy about everything in this Administration. But it seems to me that we very likely knew who was in it, or could have known if we had wanted to know. The military knew where Zarqawi was not just because it tracked his spiritual adviser, but also because it, or the Jordanian intelligence service with which it was working, had "turned" someone who was close to Zarqawi. (Given the 25 million dollar reward, this guy was not exactly Claus von Stauffenberg.) In fact, the informant conceivably was in the one out of three GMC trucks which villagers saw drive up to the safe house prior to the attack, with the one then driving away. But whether the informant was in the truck which drove away or was elsewhere, if he was personally close enough to Zarqawi to know exactly where he was in all of Iraq, it seems pretty reasonable to think it likely that he also knew who else was in the safe house with Zarqawi. Did he tell our military who was there? Did he lie about it to make a bombing more likely and possibly increase the chance of obtaining 25 million bucks? Did our military ask him who else was there? Did our military care who else was there?
If you ask for my guess, it's dollars to doughnuts that our military didn't care who else was in the house. Special Forces had been trying to track down Zarqawi for months, he had narrowly escaped them a few times, they were frustrated about all this, he was responsible for killing hundreds, maybe thousands, of people, they didn't want him to have any chance of escape, they didn't want Americans to die in the process of trying to capture or kill him. Put it all together and it seems likely that they didn't give a damn who else was in the house and would have bombed it, and rationalized the bombing of it, even if someone had told them there were five kids in there. Would they have drawn the line at ten kids? At twenty? At fifty? Who knows? Is it mere fortuity rather than mindset that caused five villagers, including some small kids, to be killed by an American grenade in a raid on a nearby village shortly afterwards? That has caused the killings of thousands of civilians, including kids, in bombing raids and by American shelling? That created Haditha — just as we had My Lai and Tiger Force in Nam, mass murder in Korea, and wholesale slaughter in the Philippines?
Now, as said, the question of why we bombed the house is, in terms of the immediate event, pretty superficial, not hard to answer. And, as I conceded, I would probably have given the same order had it been me giving orders instead of the guys who actually did so. But the deeper question raised by all this is: what kind of country have we now become? — or perhaps, in light of our history, going back to slaughters of Indians, what kind of country have we long been? We did slaughter Indian women and children on many occasions, for which I know of no excuse. We did slaughter Filipinos — ditto. We engaged in mass terror bombings of Germany and Japan, but at least one can say, and I personally believe, that in WWII we faced an evil so terrible, one which the civilian populations had put into power and/or in which they were complicit, that the bombing was desirable as an object lesion to those countries never again to attempt war and conquest — a lesson we administered but did not learn. There was no excuse for our slaughter of civilians in Korea nor for our wholesale killings of them in Nam. And one is truly hard pressed to understand any good reason for the massive killing of civilians — old people, women, children — that we have perpetrated in Iraq. To us, wholly immorally, and even more so to the moral degenerates at the top of our government, all these people are simply collateral damage, like the little girl in the safe house, who may or may not have been Zarqawi's daughter.
The fact that the death of that little girl has evoked no comment whatever in the American mass media (at least not so far as I know) speaks to what this country has become. It also brings home another point. In this era of modern war, where more civilians are killed than military personnel (as occurred in World War II), it is morally crucial to have unassailable reasons to go to war, as in World War II. Otherwise, we are inevitably condemning thousands of innocents to death. Such inevitable condemnation is the morally degenerate decision that was made by Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz and their ilk. Any argument that they thought it would be a short war is no excuse. Such argument is merely stupid because it is both common and commonly wrong.
One last point inherent in killing the little girl who may or may not have been Zarqawi's daughter. It is about the question of courage. I suppose one has to expect that a country whose moral reasoning is as screwed up as ours would get the question of courage all wrong too. Bill Maher lost his TV show for saying that the suicides who flew planes into the Twin Towers on 9/11 had courage. They had, after all, gone to their certain deaths. By any reasonable standard, Maher was right (notwithstanding 100 virgins and all that stuff). But it didn't fit what Americans wanted to think, so Americans insisted that they be called cowards. But our troops in Iraq are called courageous. I generally agree with calling our troops courageous, since they run horrid risks. But is it in fact courage when we avoid risk by calling down bombs — from planes piloted by men who themselves run no risk — to destroy a house and its occupants, rather than run the risk to men on the ground of attacking the house on foot? It is smart to call down bombs, from the standpoint of protecting our troops. I would have done it myself. But is it courage? Especially is it courage if we know there are, or suspect there could be, innocent adults or even children inside? Maybe this is thought to be courage by cowardly moral degenerates like Bush and Cheney, who ran from war during Nam yet now blithely send other people's families off to war, though not their own. But it is hard to believe it would be considered courage on any objective basis, or by men who in other wars have won medals by such heroism as charging machine gun nests or jumping on hand grenades to protect their buddies.

The apartment was very clean inside. I had an updated unit. Quiet building other than the children outside in Read Morethe parking lot. I like the location. Maintenance team was great. Rent was affordable. Only mishap is the air conditioning unit was in a bad place hard to cool down during the very hot summer days and no pool. I felt very safe as a single woman that lived alone. I would live there again but I moved out of state.

Asiatique has successfully combined two of the most popular shopping experiences in the city: a night bazaar and a mall. Ten minutes downriver from Saphan Taksin BTS station this once-bustling international trade port has been transformed, with over 1,500 boutiques and 40 restaurants housed under a huge replica warehouse complex. Open from 17:00, spending an evening here is no problem: you'll have good fun browsing the boutiques, picking up gifts or something for yourself; you are guaranteed to find something you would like to eat and if this isn't enough entertainment, shows are performed nightly: Calypso ladyboy cabaret and soon, a classic Thai puppets performance.
The easiest and fastest way to get there is via boat. Take the BTS to Saphan Taksin and jump on the free shuttle at the end of the pier. It only takes ten minutes, and the boat runs until 23:00. Taxis are not recommended as the traffic can be terrible in this area. From the boat you step off onto a long boardwalk which runs for 300 metres that looks romantic once the sun has set. Wide streets run between each warehouse and Asiatique provides retro props for photo opportunities: a reproduction tram car, anchors and a push cart. The decor does feel a little overdone on occasion and not quite in keeping with the designers' plans to evoke nostalgia for the 1900s but it's so well planned, clean and spacious that the lack of history doesn't really matter.
Once you enter the hangars, you appreciate the design even more; this is probably the only market in Bangkok where you can find a stall by looking at a map. Asiatique is split into four categories to help you find what you are looking for without too much hassle.
The Chareonkrung District is where you will find the majority of the small boutiques (over 1,000 in four warehouses) selling souvenirs, handicrafts, jewellery, and clothing. The little storefronts are attractive, the displays are interesting and there is a wide range on offer too, from fashionable Thai brands to affordable stores selling merchandise similar to those on offer in places like Chatuchak and MBK.
The focus at Asiatique is more on cutting-edge fashion and gadgets in the Factory District, including an Apple store. Upscale dining selection can be found in the Waterfront District, with smart Italian, Thai and seafood restaurants. The Town Square district has bars and outdoor space for events. Some independent cafes are dotted around selling strong drinks and decently priced Thai food. Asiatique also has branches of KFC, Pizza Company, Au Bon Pain and MK. As well as all this food and shopping, the two biggest entertainment draws are the Thai puppets by Joe Louis Theatre and Calypso Cabaret, one of Bangkok's celebrated ladyboy shows. Both these shows have been attracting large audiences for years, and Asiatique is the perfect new surrounding for them, offering so much more than just a performance.
The selection of shops is interesting, with a good range of unusual brands rather than row upon row of tourist trinkets. This bazaar is busy but isn't overrun by tourists; crowds of locals enjoy coming here too. Asiatique is definitely worth dedicating an evening to.
Opening Hours: 17:00-midnight
Location: Chareonkrung Soi 74-76

This week's Tuesday Treasury winner is Jennifer from Snackaby for her treasury "In The Pink".
This post and selection of the winner this week are courtesy of last week's winner – Elaine from RedorGrayArt.  Here is why Elaine chose the winning collection:
This was a wonderful collection using two colors that look beautiful but are often not seen together. The treasury was created in a way that used  "white space" in each square which is pleasing to the eye, and is the very best way to really feature each item. I was impressed at the variety of choices and how there was "something for everyone" especially moms for Mothers Day, but also items that would be wonderful for children and guys as well. By having this variety it brings a wider variety of shoppers to see the Treasury ultimately leading to more traffic in the shops!
From Jennifer's shop, I selected this reusable, dishwasher-safe, eco-friendly, sandwich and snack bag set.  I chose this particular design for a number of reasons, I love cats and think that this print is so festive and fun … also I like that it is bright which makes it easy to find ..especially in MY schoolteacher tote!! This is also a style that could work for either gender and all ages …such a wonderful idea!!
Runner Up
This weeks runners up goes to Curly Monkey for "Shake it Baby" in honor of her sweet newborn … and having a moment to create this gentle collection!

Birds by name
As the last egg is laid, the female starts to incubate. She sits very tightly, and her brown plumage blends her perfectly to the background. She rarely leaves the nest apart from short breaks to feed and stretch her legs.
About 28 days later the eggs hatch together. This takes about 24 hours. The ducklings stay in the nest for at least 10 hours while they dry and get used to using their legs. Then, usually in the early morning, the female leads them to water.
Bad weather may delay this exodus, but the sooner the ducklings get to water to feed, the better their chances of survival. The nest is abandoned, although if it is close to the feeding area, the family may continue to use it for brooding and roosting.
If the nest is some way from water, this first journey can be the most perilous time in a ducklings life. Where a nest is high up (up a tree or on a balcony) the birds must first jump to the ground. Being very light and covered in down they usually come to no harm during the fall.
If the landing area is very hard and there is cause for concern, placing something soft like straw or a blanket underneath will cushion the fall. Next they will have a long and potentially hazardous walk before they can reach water.
Young ducklings can feed themselves as soon as they reach water, but must learn what is edible. They depend on their mother for warmth for a few days. She broods them regularly, particularly at night, as they easily chill in cold weather.
The down of the ducklings is not naturally waterproof. They get the waterproofing for their down from their mother. She also protects her ducklings from attacks by other mallards. Ducks do not tolerate stray ducklings close to their own brood, and females kill small strange young they encounter. Ducklings take 50-60 days to fledge (fly) and become independent. They are able to breed when they are a year old.

We have all experienced, at some point in our lives, the possibility of being able to shape the clay. We retain in our memory, the first experiences in performing such primitive techniques such as ball or roller.
Like our ancestors, who for more than 10,000 years, made parts for utility use, these experiences seem to have a place in our genes …
Due to the aesthetic sense, the works have won beauty and rigor in the decoration. One can not speak, these early creations on the subject of art. That is, with all the human and spiritual force that an object may contain (and this perspective is in the eye of whom see), we can, yes, talking in a religious sense of worship or that it will take strong action in rituals and religious ceremonies later .
Yet it is inevitable to recall the clay-stained hands, the smell "sue generis, the work sometimes crudely conceived, gesture, imagination. It is something that accompanied us on our collective individuality.
The discovery of pottery techniques, forms of conduct with their hands to heaven and hell, life and death, a flower or a human figure, is now so ubiquitous as in millennia past.
Pottery is a living art of difficult techniques, experimentation and risk the adventure. It is a passion full of mysteries and constant discoveries. A maze that leads to the inevitable fire.
The art of pottery in my opinion has two states indis-sociable (?). Thought while modeling, which is the most direct result of our action, drying and cooking; are the result of the passage to life, through the fire. The decoration works in ceramic body as a rich robe, sometimes florid, landscape, human or allegorical motifs. For nearly 10 years, I discovered ceramics and she felt an inevitable passion, I can guarantee that forever changed my vision to see and feel the world. Feel every gesture, every shape, transparency, texture, color, approached me more alchemy of men.

Answer #1Henderson from Toyo Automotive Services Inc, January 24, 2013, 07:29Technician
That particular car has at least three solenoids in the transmission that controls shifting. When there is a problem with the transmission the check engine light comes on giving your an area to start diagnosis. The code will point you in the correct direction but is not a diagnosis in and of itself. The car needs to come to a certified shop like Toyo Automotive for a proper diagnosis. Also the gear shift has a solenoid that allows the car to shift out of park when the brake pedal is depressed. I'm at four solenoids.
