or am I losing my mind
hello artritis
Log in the fireplace,
Enjoying a good author
While petting my dog
Horse who won in Yorkshire
Last year how come
To be a beef in my menu this year
crumbling deadwood in composting leaves,
retirement brings a life of ease
Short term the school.
Long term the house of love.
A career until retirement.
My world.
sitting on green grass
watching a large black ant climb up my leg
sipping red wine from a plastic cup
Fox in the henhouse
retirement nesteggs eyed,
bond market shakeup...
I lost my job two years ago today
Unemployment ran out sometime in May
Saving cans you know
Still play the Lotto
My little retirement plan, per se
Eh, pal what are your chances of winning?
Ah, you could have banked all this saving
for an early retirement...
to cherish that sentiment!
When you're completely broke, start cringing!
old Smeaton's Tower
spends its retirement dreaming
recalling its youth
no light in its eyes
glares at the young usurper
on Eddystone reef

Dinosaur snuffs noisey,

back to extinction...i mean retirement for now..!
Protected from the past,
insulated in a box
made of star-dust,
closed where it
points to the earth
but open toward the
vacuum of the sky,
why does he
bring the old world back
when he creates his dreams?
Strolling around town
At prohibited time
Ignoring the church bell sounds
While I see people hurrying
Down the sidewalk
On their way to work
Think maybe I'll find
Pen and paper
And have a coffee somewhere
Or maybe not
Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Tall Grass
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: August/2014
Some folks
Beverly Hills -
Beverly Hills,
for me -
I prefer
the open
Tall Grass
grows -
Oh death, death, death
When will you feast be over?
When will you be gratified?
When will get exhausted?
when will all your energy be used up?
When will you excuse yourself?
When will your own spell come to you?
When will your heart be content?
For all of us are anxious for you retirement
getting old
sitting on my rocker
waiting for mail
a package
from Amazon
with my first fast elder walker with seat
they say that this fast elder walker with seat
could last
up to ten years to the day
I do pray
that this walker
is not my last
and that it and I
don't go too fast
I've outlived
the winter's
and depressing rains
in a human zoo
I can live
my retirement too
without pension and
the wheelchair
doesn't frighten
I can live
uncared and unknown
survive broken home
the numbness of the
the pain in the
and inflation too
Follow the money
maybe somewhere
far, far away
hidden, divided
follow the money
lips that can't speak
eyes that will not see
ears that have forgotten
how it came to be
retirement can be long
time to pad the nest
living the lifestyle
must have the best
take it all
who will tell
spend it wisely
at the mall in hell
P aranoia permeates, etching itself into your fractured face,
A cacophony of constant pressure; life remains a stressful race,
N othing to hope for, no positives like promotion in the workplace,
I nability to love, relationships lift anchor and set sail without chase,
C hildren crushing dreams under mortgages; age grows with disgrace
Here's a thought I had today
(And really, it's inspired):
It's possible to be exhausted
When you are retired.
For if, in your retirement,
Some interests you've acquired,
You may be far too busy
For the sleep that you've required.
So if a work cessation is
A goal that you've desired,
Accept the fact that you will be
Both "re" and "re"-less tired.
Oft times, as we near trail's end,
We discover that we've used up our days,
Just chasing wind through the trees.
Exploring our "what ifs" of life trend,
Always glinting hinder as if through a haze,
Thoughts that time seemed to freeze.
Only then, with lesser days to spend,
Is psyche surrendered to much malaise,
On finding trees gone and wind a breeze.
I maybe bored
To the extent of googling
How to use the toilet bowl properly
Amazingly, there is a detailed answer
How dare U-tube gives so much information
An informal education, yet
Informative to the layman's need and curiosity!
Hmmm, I maybe bored
A retirement aftermath (in my case)
The unstructured time available
Has turned me into a jack of all trades!
He never made retirement—
palmed sallow watch.
Years bled bloodless,
stooped obliquely
in steel mills.
Mother said
he was tired—
so tired
as he drank
last days in liquid slurs.
The mill closed
after his death—
now both rustle bones,
remember russet dreams
of molten metals
faint as old billboards
whispering what once was
but never was
in rust-washed wind.
The Senile Chemistry Professor
By Elton Camp
On retirement old Doc did belong
But he stayed at the job too long
Although his students it did amuse
When ionic and covalent he'd confuse
Carbon in organics is never found
To them had a very strange sound
The dean didn't know what to say
But the problem resolved one day
Doc took a drink and was no more
What he thought H20 was H2SO4
In modus fasciculumque Brady pus.
Rogationes, confractum egemus.
Minara excommunica
Ripa nostra, sus amica,
Sic superbum precum, pape beatus.
The National Poet Of Slovenia In A Language People Understand moves in mysterious ways. Just ignore him.
The retirement age for SSB
Is fast approaching seventy
And age past which - we should retire
Leaving little time - 'til we expire
We'll take pills to medicate
Which will keep us somewhat healthy
And are over priced - as merchandise
But make others - very wealthy
Our fixed incomes won't keep up
With run away inflation
So we'll sit at home - we'll eat like birds
And live in caged - anticipation
Retirement Plan
Dr. James E. Martin
©February, 2013
Now that I've reached a ripe old age,
I sit on the porch and sip sweet tea.
Some may question the wisdom in this,
My response is simply, "It works for me!"
Jealousy is undoubtedly fostered in some,
For that matter anger may surely arise.
I simply continue in my well designed plan
And know that many my life they despise.
LOVE crystal blue seas,
with snow covered sands,
dreaming of this place.>
Grass skirts, necklaces,
pig roasts and coconut drinks.
Soaking up the rays,
hanging 10 and snorkeling,
a FUN place to retire at.>
I'm sitting around the fire.
Speak of island legends,
take with me words of wisdom,
and POETRY of this land.>
Fun and frolic contest
cory long
Today was a day of miracles,
Struggles that are reconciled,
A place to call home again,
God's beautiful blessings,
Friendship, the liason with understanding,
A reprimand of the supernatural,
Difficult passages for a senior,
A restored normal kingdom,
Beautiful rapport with retirement,
Days and nights of blessings,
God's guidance and thankfulness.

I know that 21 is young,
But inside,
I feel so old.
I've always had to be the adult.
I've never felt my age.
My friends,
Have no problems cutting loose.
They tell me to relax.
I envy their ability to go with the flow.
But too much is at steak for me.
They pay for courses they don't like,
Trial by error.
While I'm,
Planning for retirement.
I know I'm only 21
But age is just a number.
Kind eyes peer
out of pages
gentle features
of grace replace
calculated poses
touched by
the sun-The sun
color --into his
cheeks and face
hints of roses.
And yes
I believe
my eyes as they
No doubt-
Obviously we have
met here before..
Yet unscathed
by this world
We come back
There could be more
like us
So we are here
to watch and wait
My life is meadow of wildflowers
a grace to breath into the hours.
Breezes blow calmly upon faces
that fill me with their ardent graces.
My old Chevy runs absolutely great
but for a tire I may need to wait.
Education will never be over
and retirement is not for this rover.
The sun's rays are too bright
and shift over the ocean caves.
Aqua-green they rise in the light
home ashore go the foamy waves.
True Story
My hubby's aunt was ninety three
Spry and full of energy
Lost her man of sixty years
Remembered all the joy and tears
Retirement living she could thank
For meeting up with new beau Frank
Her new mate was ninety five
"Hey, she said I'm still alive!'
Lil and Frank have set the stage
Love can flourish at any age
Hand in hand they share their love
Until the call from up above..
Great idea here
Let's open a Haiku Shoppe
They go great with beer
Easy to find I'm told
They hide under nibs of pens
Don't let them get old
To make a great stew
Take a limerick or two
Mix well with Haiku
If all has gone well
And your mix has turned out right
You're ready to sell
One more thing to do
We must put them on a bun -
Sit and have a few
Written by John Posey
two old men
with retirement's eyes
exchange dreams
on a bench,
growing tendrils of old age…
as cosmos grows dim
they recline
like curled sleeves wrinkling,
on phonograph's needling tunes
crossing young regions

No longer at work
now in retirement
having worked since school
many a task I was sent
Began apprenticeship with electrics
blew a fuse I'm colour blind
then work in sweetie store
before redundancy not too kind
Worked in many a warehouse
looking after many a stock
from food to clothes
kept busy no time to talk
Made redundant again last year
decided to take a rest
believe it's well earned
after giving my very best
Green bark a prism creates,
Feel the pull of earth, you must.
Rotates, a slime of endless hates,
Can hold me not, this world's crust.
Friendship's ties, isolation Deflates,
Succumbs, my spaceship, to bitter rust.
Mist, my soul forever permeates,
Lift-off, booms the rocket's thrust.
My spirit when light returns, elates,
Swamps swell, swallowed hope's swirling dust.
Trapped, I am, until student from fate
Arrives to learn; Cloud City or bust.
Shakespeare's pen surrendered to retirement,
Elizabeth Barrette Browning a constant motivation,
Robert Barette Browning, love's companion,
The mysteries of God's universe,
Discovered by humanity,
Honourable companions of the past,
A memory of contemporary excellence,
Companions of the present,
Defined traditionally,
God's nature encompassing us daily,
Blossoming through the seasons,
A writer's paradise.

During most of life's years
time has a grip upon mankind
in our working years clock bound
looking for freedom in our mind
Then when one comes to retire
from one's working years on earth
you feel like a bird set free
making you think returning to birth
So now not having any clock control
freed from it's alarming hold
so today living free from time
where yesterday set in its mould
Enjoy now today being free
for its whats meant to be
keep your eyes on the East
be prepared to see the Mark of the Beast
world peace, don't believe what you see
all hell break loose
persecution of the Christian and Jew
God or Satan
whose possession are you
Stock Market is through
corporations took advantage of you
retirement money is a thing of the past
republicans mad
leaders steady stacking their cash
voters know they've been had
end is coming
be prepared for the blast

When Christmas come in June
In the heat of the summer
And two moons shine at noon
In the heavens and yonder
When the cock crows at midnight
And birds croon at twilight
When with harmattan comes sleet
And white bears thrive in the heat
When the sea produces water fresh
And the Inferno freezes over
When the reveille sounds for retirement
And in war no one dies on the battlement
When all these happens, it is true
That's when I'll stop loving you.

Life Is What You Make It Contest
Tim Smith
As the mind of humanity's flesh
Simply wants all of the world's cash
As bills smell in congress they pass
Laws resembling methane gas
Poof, aloof, savings gone in a flash
Of cash stash, my soul is free at last
Our retirement savings of cash stashes
Like bad memories as congress passes
Their bills smelling like methane gases
Like moles complain of smelling mo__ lasses
As the politics of fresh air clashes
`Tis smoke, my bloke; use miracle glasses
Silent tears as friends hug restricted bodies,
Lingering awkward silences for moments long gone.
A hugs breath on his cheek as friends leave him alone,
Lingering smoke and whiskey shades tints the mind.
A parting quip and a crystal tear shivers in the air,
The gesture wave of failing friendship walks unsteady.
A lonely discomfort nips the soul, a hugs breath,
Clutching a card stained with friends pain,
He leaves for home and retirements reign.

On Retirement
Retiring or retirement
An innovation to graduation
Whether it be retirement or graduation
There'll be definitely another actions coming.
Retirement is seeking another endeavor
Why the thought you are in a junction
If we go on the negative of retiring
Then turn passiveness the next time.
So, if you are really tired
Then leap another through
Of tiring or resting
Therefore, you are not in a crossroad
But between active rather than passive!
My Heart Is in Retirement
I Gave it Too Much Pain
The Hurt Has Made it Old
And it Refuses to Love Again
If My Heart Can't Be Persuaded
To Give Love Another Try
Then I May as Well Give up
And Tell You this Is Goodbye
Heart and Mind Are Different
And Do Not Always Agree
They Leave Me in Confusion
But the Heart Does Hold the Key
So I Don't Know What to Do
But I Have to Make this Stop
My Mind Says I Do Need Love
But My Heart Says I Do Not

SAPD offers residents the opportunity to participate in a special community involvement program named Cellular On Patrol (COP). The purpose of the COP Program is to prepare residents to be the "eyes and ears" of the police and to promote closer cooperation between residents and city agencies that exist to serve them.
Determine which SAPD Substation serves the area where you live. Click here to view a MAP showing substation boundaries. Then follow these steps:
One year after graduation you may attend a Refresher Class, if you wish. COP graduates may also volunteer to participate in "Map Patrols" in their substation area.
14th - NORTH 1800 - 2200
2nd - NORTH 1800 - 2200
Saturday Classes are from 8 am till 12 noon (or 9 am to 1 pm), when two dates are listed. When one Saturday date is listed, the class lasts all day (one meeting instead of two). Weekday Classes are from 6 pm till 10 pm.
Classes at North (only) are one session, 4 hours long.
Refresher classes are one session only. Contact your substation COP Coordinator for application forms, class times, etc. You can also download COP Application Forms (PDF format), fill them out, and send to your substation.

This image says it all. A friend sent it to me after a humbling week of tennis play. I find it both inspiring and consoling, and I plan to use it to my advantage!
Serena Can Sing Too!
Serena's talents extend way beyond the tennis court.
I love this video of her singing Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend.
A New Tennis Chapter
Hitting with Craig Sandvig in the early morning hours may leave me looking like a drowned rat, but I feel like a million bucks when the last of the tennis balls have been picked up, dropped into their baskets, and the next group of eager students file onto the courts. This feeling comes from being pushed beyond my comfort zone and being successful enough that the task doesn't drain my confidence. It's a fine balance to strike and one that Craig accomplishes remarkably well on my behalf.
This summer, I want to work on being "a terror at the net," as Craig likes to say, instead of being terrorized by it. This will take time and convincing as I tame my fear of being hit in the eye…or worse yet on the head…or heaven forbid my teeth! As we set out to take my game to the next level, another goal is to think about shot selection and strategy, which requires a heady dose of brain cells before making the first split-step. "You want me to think and hit at the same time?" I whisper to myself. Luckily, at 7:30 am, Craig and I are the only two people on the courts, which is the perfect set-up to carry out his instructions: Go for every shot and make as many mistakes as you need to get there.
The only downside to all this newfound energy and confidence is that it makes me want to shop. Wimbledon started this week and that means the player's new kits are out and for sale! This morning I logged onto tennis-warehouse.com only to find disappointment at the end of my scroll. No Wimbledon kits! Not Maria's from Nike, or Ana's from adidas. Clearly I must have overlooked them, and so I call the 800 number. A friendly voice on the other end answers the phone, directs me to a couple of web pages, goes silent, and puts me on hold. Minutes later he's back on the line, apologizing for not offering the kits and unable to explain exactly why. "I'm just as confused as you are. We should've had them by now," he says. At tennisexpress.com it's the same story, same thing on the Nike and adidas sites. What gives?
If I could, this is what I'd buy to celebrate the beginning of what I hope will be more tennis in my life.
Bag of Tricks
I've always wondered what the pros carry in their bags. Here's my answer.
Ever since Fabi took over my red and black Babolat bag, I've been in the market for a new one. I like this one, pictured below, because it doubles as a summer tote.
World Cup Fever!
Everyone I know has World Cup fever.
Maybe it's the company of Latins I've been keeping of late.
But whatever the case, while Danny buys out Target in search of a lone, elusive Lionel Messi sticker for the kids to add to their World Cup albums, I can't help but wonder…Will anyone pay attention to Wimbledon once it begins next week?
My First Broken String
There's always a first time for everything in tennis, and just a few weeks ago I broke a string on my Babolat minutes into a lesson. Fortunately I was in good company, and knew the perfect place to take it to be fixed in a hurry. While I was at it, the kids and I couldn't help but select new, coral-hued grips for our racquets at Tennis Machines Sales & Service, just minutes from downtown Clayton. Thanks, Terry and Kyle!
5 Goals for Summer Tennis 2014
1. Plan my work week around tennis practice, not the other way around.
2. Resolve to be courageous at the net. No more backing up to the baseline, even when the hard-hitters are opposite me.
3. Stay focused on the court regardless of how many things are on my off-court to-do list.
3. Give Stella McCartney for adidas another chance. Her first line for the brand was only so-so, and the fit didn't… well…fit. This summer the British designer has introduced pretty separates in eye-catching hues. I can't resist giving her the benefit of the doubt.
4. Play more games! Nothing beats the real thing.
5. Blog more often!
Fed Cup in St. Louis
The Fed Cup, otherwise known as the World Cup of (women's) international competition, was held at Chaifetz Arena on SLU's campus this past weekend, and gave tennis fans like me a wouldn't-miss-it-for-the-world opportunity to see the game just minutes from home.
Attending a Fed Cup match is a different experience then, say, going to a Grand Slam or Masters 1000 event. The typical niceties associated with tennis conduct aren't always on display. It's more about rooting for your team and making noise! Fed Cup, and Davis Cup for the men, gives tennis aficionados the chance to support their favorite players not as individuals but as a team, which is what makes it so exciting and special to be among the crowd.
I caught Saturday's singles action with friends and fellow tennis junkies, Sydney and Andreas (pictured below). Danny joined us after the Blues win!
On Sunday, we took the kids to the finals, which featured:
two singles matches, including a win for Sloane, and a doubles match. The doubles match paired two formidable teams against one another: Sloane Stevens/Madison Keys and Caroline Garcia/Virginie Razzano. It was a nail-bitter, with the two teams at two wins a piece.
Unfortunately, after a thrilling comeback by Stevens and Keys, the French snuffed out a win in the second set.
Here are some clips of the doubles final.
The Frontenac Pro Doubles Classic
There's a lot of tennis action taking place in St. Louis in the next couple of weeks, and you won't want to miss any of it. Thankfully the events are on separate weekends.
I've already posted about the Fed Cup next weekend–April 19 and 20–at the Chavitz Arena, and this week's auxiliary events at Dwight Davis celebrating the arrival of the U.S. team players, including Sloan Stevens.
The following Saturday, on April 26, the Frontenac Pro Doubles Classic returns with all the best regional players competing for the top prize, and bragging rights. I missed it last year so I'll be there for sure this year. Proceeds from the event will help support the Triple A Youth Foundation, which supports young players wanting to further their tennis instruction.

Mancini signs new City dealComment on this story
London - Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has agreed a new five-year contract with the Premier League champions, the club announced on Monday.
"Manchester City is a fantastic football club, from the owner, chairman, board and the executive team, through to the players, staff and fans," said Italian Mancini.
"I am very much looking forward to the challenges and excitement ahead."
Mancini replaced Mark Hughes in December 2009 and led City to FA Cup success in 2011 before last season's title triumph when they lifted their first top-flight crown since 1968. – Reuters

It's been a while since we posted news on our local Queen Anne Helpline. The annual Gala held every October was missed due to my short leave-of-absence from Queen Anne View. However, thanks to Queen Anne residents and businesses, the Helpline raised a record $144,000 at the event, exceeding its goal of $120,000. A big thank you to Queen Anne residents and businesses who attended!
In other happy Helpline news, our local Upper Queen Anne Safeway nominated the Helpline for a $1,000 grant from Hunger Is – a program where the Safeway managers nominate a local charity and customers contribute during a month-long fundraiser. The funds from the grant will go to the Helpline's Weekend Food for Kids program that serves 5 schools in both Magnolia and on Queen Anne. Thank you to our local Safeway and customers!
Now, on to the cold weather that's moved into our area… it's a sure sign of winter and the holiday season. There are several ways you can help our neighbors in need via the Helpline's program:
Thanksgiving Groceries for Seniors:
The Helpline is partnering with All Saints Church to collect and deliver Thanksgiving groceries to seniors. Senior housing managers, churches, and other agencies identify low-income seniors who have no access to a Thanksgiving meal, and the Helpline has a goal of providing 100 bags of Thanksgiving food.
To reach this goal, the Helpline will purchase perishable items for the program, and is asking for donations of non-perishable items – any and all donations are welcome. If you'd like to help, fill a bag with food from the list below and call the Helpline at 206-282-1540 to arrange to drop off:
• Can of vegetables (corn, green beans, etc.)
• Package of mashed potatoes
• Package of stuffing/dressing
• Can of cranberry sauce
• Can/jar of gravy
• Box of instant oatmeal
• Package of cookies
• Shelf-stable milk
• Cans of individual serving juice
If you'd like to help with the perishable items, like Thanksgiving turkey breast, rolls, butter, etc., you can donate Safeway gift cards or cash to the Helpline. Contact the Helpline at 206-282-1540.
Queen Anne Helpline Tree Lot – Volunteers!
It's already that time of year! The Helpline is seeking volunteers for the annual Christmas Tree Lot. You can sign up to be a volunteer cashier at the Tree Lot on the Helpline's web site.
Other ways to help:
Finally, a reminder that you can donate coats, clothes, blankets, and toiletries to the Helpline. With the cold weather upon us, take a look in your closet and if you have coats or warm clothes that need a new home, give the Helpline a call to set up a drop-off time. If you travel a lot and have unopened hotel soaps and toiletries taking up space in your bathroom cabinet, they're perfect for the Helpline too.
You can also donate to the Helpline when you shop at Amazon.com via AmazonSmile . All you have to do is make your Amazon purchases via this link, and Amazon donates .5% of the purchase price to the Helpline.
If you'd like to donate your time, check out the volunteer opportunities on the web site.
Regardless of whether you donate money, time, or household items, it's all for a good cause. Help out the Helpline this year!

Mammoth, 'very strange-looking' dinosaur skull found in Canada
21 February 2014 [13:27] -
This Pachyrhinosaurus can go to the head of its class.
It's not often, after all, that you can see and touch a skull that's about the size of a Smart Car, about 70 million years old and looks like a mutant blend of a triceratops and giant parrot.
University of Calgary paleontologist Darla Zelenitsky first made the mammoth find in Alberta's Badlands, then revealed it to the world Thursday.
"It almost looks like some sort of mythical beast," Zelenitsky said. "Because it is so big and (mature), it makes for a very strange-looking individual."
This isn't the first Pachyrhinosaurus discovery -- that came in the mid-20th century -- and there have been other notable such finds since then in Canada's Alberta province and Alaska.
But what makes this one unique is how well preserved the skull is (75% to 80% complete, which is remarkable for a dinosaur), the fact it's from an older Pachyrhinosaurus (therefore more can be learned from it than a younger version), and, of course, its immense size.
Not that Zelenitsky's team knew all that when they spotted a bumpy rock in mid-October while exploring exposed southern Alberta's Drumheller -- a town that calls itself the Dinosaur Capital of the World for a reason, given the outcrops that make it a paleontologists' dream.
A little digging led to more digging and, after about three days, the realization that they'd found a gigantic dinosaur skull. It took several more months (and the removal of 5 tons of rock) to unearth it in three pieces and show it off to the world. Still, a lot of work needs to be done to peel away remaining surrounding rock and examine the skull in more detail, not to mention see it in full.
"It was really exciting because, when we started, there really wasn't much there," Zelenitsky, an associate professor in the University of Calgary's geoscience department, said. "Then, the skull was not really ending it was so big."
Even with more to peel back, Zelenitsky already calls this skull one of the biggest, if not the biggest, of any Pachyrhinosaurus ever discovered. Given its distinct nature, she and fellow paleontologists will be trying to determine if it is part of its own species or just a big version of an existing one. (There are three known species of Pachyrhinosaurus as is.)
Even if it's part of previously discovered Pachyrhinosaurus species, there's no doubt this skull is quite a sight.
The herbivore's beak at the front of its snout was likely used to crop vegetation. Behind that are rows of teeth that finished off whatever greens made it into the mouth.
Then there's what Zelenitsky describes as a "huge, almost platter-shape structure" and the dinosaur's frill. Instead of pointed horns like a triceratops, Pachyrhinosaurs have masses of bones atop their heads likely used in head-butting rituals to compete for mates or perhaps for combat.
The entire skull is about 2 to 2.5 meters (6.5 to 8 feet) long; the entire animal is only 6 meters, meaning this Pachyrhinosaur (as well as its kin) was very top heavy.
"These animals had huge skulls relative to their bodies," said Zelenitsky.

- Genre: Role-Playing First-Person
- Release Date: Mar 20, 2006
- ESRB: Mature
Easy experience
Before you leave the Imperial Sewers when you meet back up with the king and company, follow them to where they stop in a dead end room. Walk in slowly behind them until you hear the guards say "They are behind us". Then, quickly run to the room they just came from to fight. Continue fighting as long as you wish to train. If you need more health, Magika, potions, etc. or repair hammers, go to the central area. You will see a little stump of a pole. Jump on it, then jump onto the little ledge and walk to the little area. Go back in the corner by the door you entered and use the "Duplicate items" code to make potions or hammers. If you need to repair your items, crouch in the corner until the guard kills all the assassins in the area, then repair. The assassins will never run out. You may do this as many times as desired. When you are done training talk to the king and finish the sewers area. You will then be able to level up according to how much you trained.

I don't mean to say I have learnt nothing from experience . I have, however, never been taught .
At Art College I hid my copy of the newly published interiors magazine under my table and whilst lusting after the beautiful and interesting rooms and other spaces I saw , wanting to be either an interior designer or at the very least a painter of images to place in such lovely spaces as those I was enjoying in the magazine . Meanwhile , I tried to please my personal tutor by making installations and performance pieces that money could not buy and could definitely not be accommodated anywhere other than in a gallery.
I graduated from an art college in 1986 .I had studied fine art for four long years. What I learnt there and was actively taught, was that impermanence was the goal of the artist. . I was encouraged ,or perhaps ,indoctrinated would be a better word, to believe that only pieces that could not be purchased by the bourgeoisie were worth making.
On graduating I had no idea what I was going to do as I had no longer got the access to the technology or manual assistance that I had at art school .... I studied interior design and ceramics but they did not satisfy all that much although I enjoyed both.
I studied interior design and ceramics after my fine art course , and although I enjoyed decorating and designing for their potential to explore my eclectic taste for folk art, ethnography,religion, poetry and everything in between , ultimately I was a (so called) fine artist and I needed a medium through which I could express my experience of being alive .
Did I say , I am shy ? Yes shy of my poetic nature , of my deep love of all sentient beings shit like that ,you know the kind of thing .. I was an EMO ,I think that means ,emotionally overwhelmed, if not, it does now as far as I'm concerned.so I taught myself HOW TO PAINT
I am in fact a SELF taught painter.
I started with Rubens . And I started with How Rubens started his paintings ie. under-drawing in red ochre/burnt sienna.
(I drew really well so that bit I had mastered) .
I got a studio and set to work .(see pic left)
I started from the heart (mine) and with the heart above on the left of the studio.. the canvas behind me in the centre is a hand copied lace mantilla and a heart . I was in mourning for lost love . and I was starting as I meant to continue , that is to say , from real emotional experience .


text: There are many reasons why I love to perform. One of the biggest reasons is the feeling that I get after the performance is done; the feeling of accomplishment and exhilaration! I always get nervous and a little shaky before I perform, so after I am done I feel like I've just climbed a mountain! Another reason I love to perform is meeting and talking with the audience. I play for a lot of community outreach concerts at elementary schools and nursing homes, and connecting with people young and old through music is truly a beautiful thing. By planning concerts with fun music and interactive parts, the kids learn little things throughout the concert, such as the different string instrument names, how to feel the music in different time signatures, and the neat and unique sounds we can make. Even the older folks at the nursing homes gain a bit of extra knowledge about music! And to me, that is what performing is all about; giving back to the audience and showing them how amazing and moving music can be. Performing is a key part to becoming a better musician. Even though not every performance is going to be perfect, each one helps gain more practice and experience, as well as demonstrating your art to people from all over your community, and in the end, giving the performer something to accomplish and be proud of.

|I'm thiking of getting rid of my over-the-range micro/exhaust putting my it on the countertop next to the frig. It would be out of the way and doesn't really show in that area. I have lots of counterspace and don't use that area for anything other than the toaster. I hardly use the micro for anything except reheating.
I would like to install a nice range hood with a quiet exhaust fan and tile backsplash. Would this be a bad idea for resale? I wonder if buyers might be put off by the micro on the countertop.
Follow-Up Postings:
|I'd rather see a "real" range hood and MW on a counter than an OTR MW...especially if you have plenty of counterspace & an used portion on top of that! OTR MWs are a definite negative for me! Will it be vented outside? That's another plus for resale.
But, when do you plan to sell? In the next couple of years? If so, maybe resale is a consideration. If not, then just do what works best for you & your family, not some potential buyer in the future who you don't know & don't know what they will like then. Besides, you only need one buyer, not dozens, to be happy with it!
Oh, and the tiled backsplash will be another positive for resale.
|No, the buyers might be pleased with having a real range hood. Also, when you're showing the house you can remove the MW off the counter to not call attention to it. If you're not planning to sell in the near future, get what you want.
|Good points. It is vented to outside. I want to put in an "in-line" exhaust to make it quiet. I don't know how that is done but posted a question about it.
- Posted by tracie.erin (My Page) on Fri, Feb 26, 10 at 13:39
|Ditto. I definitely prefer a nice hood, if you have the counterspace to spare for the MW. If I were buying a house with an OTR MW I would be ripping it out move in day.

|My home was built with an over the range exhaust and microwave. For me that height is not an issue, but my Mom is short and would not be able to use that. Since she often visits me, I put a large microwave on the counter next to my fridge...it is just one cabinet underneath so is a good fit and I also have plenty of other counter space. It is actually handy to have 2 microwaves, especially when entertaining. On a daily basis, I end up using the one on the counter.

|I too would prefer a range hood to an OTR microwave. Some range hoods are so attractive and the OTR micros aren't, IMO.
(To answer the topic question, our MW is a drawer under a counter.)
|Ours is around the corner in the walk in pantry. We literally only use it to reheat coffee and melt butter, and for the very rare leftovers that don't get taken to work.
I agree that a hood is preferable. But that assumes that putting a MW on your counter won't take up half your counter space. I've seen kitchens where over the range is the only sensible thing to do.

|My micro wave is in my walk-in pantry...OUT OF SIGHT. I use it only like yourself to reheat...popcorn. I hated having it on my counter and rather a nice hood fan over the range.
Good luck
|oops! I never told you where mine is! I have a MW Drawer that's under the counter. However, we use our MW quite a bit...heating leftovers, cooking frozen veggies, popcorn, etc. so it had to be convenient.
Based on...
"...It would be out of the way and doesn't really show in that area...."
I think your idea will work for you.

|I dislike microwaves so much, mine was banished to the walk-in pantry, never to return!
So you guessed right - my vote would be for range hood w/o a microwave.
|When I renovated my kitchen I installed an expensive OTR MW. Within a couple of months I hated it so much I took it out and replaced it with a proper hood. I sold the OTR MW on Craig's List for a good price, since it was barely used, but I still took a loss on it. But SOO worth it! The hood is a huge improvement in exhaust function. And I don't like the looks of any microwave. I love how my hood looks. I agree with the others that a nice hood will help resale not hinder it. I bought an inexpensive countertop MW and have it on a shelf in my pantry, and since I am not a frequent MW user, it's perfect there.
Make sure to post on the Appliances forum when you are shopping for your hood, so that people can give you feedback and suggetions.
|With so many people going in the direction of putting decorative hoods over the range instead of Microwaves, when it comes time to sell and there's a Microwave over the range, buyers may say, "That's so early 2000!"
I hated the look of the microwave over the range, so we took out the OTR microwave and opted for a small countertop MW for reheating coffee.

|I wish I had more room "not" to put micro over range but I do not. However, I have a Velos that I love, whenever anyone walks in my kitchen they say "cool microwave" and open it (must be kept clean at all times). I'm going to redo kitchen but the way it is setup with a stainless slide in range with stainless tiles on the wall leading to the velos…well, it does look pretty good.
In my new kitchen I'm having six inch spice cabinets on both sides of micro and a cabinet above with decorative curved wood over glass to do a mock hood look. A girls gotta do with what she has to work with sometimes. I lusted after a real range hood for a long time but am happy with the new design.
|I put ours in our island. I had many people tell me that it was not the best choice, but I am so happy we did it. We use it all the time and I don't mind. I would go with the nice range hood.
|I'm not a fan of a microwave over the range. I know in some kitchens it's unavoidable, but if it's possible to avoid it, I'd rather see the microwave just about anywhere else.
I can't recommend where our microwave is, we have ours built in over our fridge. I like it, it works for us, there was open space there and no other really good place to have it- but my friend who is 5'2" came over and couldn't reach it. If we were to resell, we'd just take the microwave out and fill in the wall in that area.

|Mine is in the corner on the countertop next to the range. I got one with a stainless steel front and painted sides and top of the microwave to match my upper cabinets/backsplash.
- Posted by cooksnsews (My Page) on Fri, Feb 26, 10 at 23:33
|My microwave is on a shelf above my countertop. I wanted it off the counter when I renovated, since prep space is limited in my kitchen. If you have to sacrifice cabinets to get the thing off the counter, I'd sacrifice anywhere else but over the range.
If you plan to sell your house to one of us GWers, most would prefer a real vent. However, in your market, the general population may or may not notice. Here where I live, OTR microwaves are featured in lots of otherwise high end builds and renos, although I'd never have one.
So, who are you designing for? Yourself? or some hypothetical future buyer?
|I threw my microwave out over 10 years ago and never looked back. Our small oven works for leftovers. We have a small SS pan with lip for melting butter. We have a double boiler to melt chocolate. Popcorn gets popped in a heavy pan. I never re heat coffee because our coffee maker drips the coffee into a carafe thermos where it stays hot. I would never think of cooking vegetables in a microwave, I prefer using our SS steaming pot or sauteing veggies in our SS or cast iron pan.
Microwaves are controversial http://www.mercola.com/article/microwave/hazards.htm

|Mine is on a shelf under my upper cabinets. I love it there. It is right at eye level, not taking up counter space and best of all, allowing me to have a great range hood. :)
|I have a small microwave that is used daily. We keep it on the counter, in the corner of the "L" where it is easily accessed from either dierction. It is the same color as the backsplash (white) so it sort of fades into the background visually.
|My personal opinion is that Kristine_2009 & CooksNSews have the "ideal" location...on a shelf under the upper cabinets. That puts it at a good height to add/remove food safely (i.e., no reaching up to get into it or having to lean over and lift up...just reach straight in). It's also off the counter so it doesn't take up counterspace...and most people cannot afford to lose counterspace.
If you and your family are short, the "ideal" might be lower (like on the countertop); taller and the "ideal" is probably still the shelf under the cabinets or in an oven stack over a single oven.
However, the countertop is a good compromise if you don't have a shelf to put it on.
- Posted by kitchenobsessed (My Page) on Sat, Feb 27, 10 at 22:25
|If my breakfast nook were larger, I would have the MW on a cart or shelf there maybe along with a toaster. Most items in our MW go directly from there to the table, so it would save steps. YMMV, since your may use your MW differently.
I am too short to use a micro-hood safely. When it comes time to sell, I would just stash the micro away when the house is being shown.
|Thanks! I think I'm going with the nice hood with quiet exhaust, interesting backsplash and put the MW over in the corner where it belongs :-)
|We have an OTR microwave and I can't stand it. I have discovered the microwave drawer and it will be going in the island when our reno is done!
rrs, I think you'll be happy with your decision!

|We are in the process of making changes to bring a back porch into the kitchen. So far, we've moved the fridge where it will go, and put the M/W and convection oven where they will go on either side of it atop base cabs....which are presently just sitting there. This height is very handy but I do need some place to set hot pots as they come out of the convection oven.
Presently we do not have a stove at all, just a 2-burner hotplate, since I threw OUT the stove...don't ask why...and will wait patiently until I can install a 24" Berta range before deciding how to finally secure the two countertop ovens. My hubby likes to share cooking chores, like he cooks every other night, so I must keep his preferences in mind...sigh.....and put up with his abuse of my nicer pots. I have on occasion HIDDEN some pots, but not much room to hide anything these days.
I had a OTR MW (GE Spacesaver) in the house destroyed by Katrina. While it did not get any storm surge, the salt spray totally destroyed all the electrical stuff in the house. I did not like it there to begin with.
If you do not have a suitable out-of-the-way counter to set your MW on, then modify a cabinet just below counter height for it. Or put it on a lower shelf of a m/w cart. I suppose the new m/w drawers are the cat's meow now, but not for me due to no cabinets in my kitchen where they could be located.
|Have always had an OTR and, while I like the look of a hood, I am somewhat surprised by the strong reaction against them. In a small kitchen, space is at such a premium that I can't think of another place to put it without giving up something that I find more important. In my case the hood would be a decorative enhancement almost hidden behind the fridge & tall pantry and I'd be giving up good functional counter or drawer space. Can it really be such a MAJOR resale factor?
- Posted by jterrilynn (My Page) on Sun, Feb 28, 10 at 17:38
|gwentm...I'm with you, some of us do not have counterspace or cabinet space to give up. I think if the rest of the kitchen is done tastefully and you use quality items it will not be that much of a factor on resale.People will know they can always take micro out and add a hood.
|We put in a fancy wood hood that matched our cabinets above our stove. Our microwave has a built-in look. We had a shelf made for it with cabinets below and above it. We bought a GE profile counter top ss microwave and bought a matching trim piece to give it the built in look. People love what we did with it instead of putting it over the range. Type in my user name on this forum and you can see some pics that I think will show it.
|Ours is in a reach-in pantry. We have a galley kitchen and it has reach-in pantries on either end of the range side. It used to sit on the counter but I wanted it either out of sight, or below countertop level, as I was doing away with all upper cabinets except for the over-fridge cabinet. We thought about the micro drawers, and just a regular micro under the counter, but in the end just put it on a shelf in the pantry. We added an outlet in there, and it has worked out great for us.
- Posted by donnakay2009 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 28, 10 at 23:26
|We ended up with an OTR, vented properly to the outside, and we're happy with it. But, I made sure that in the future, I'd put in a hood instead and put the MW somewhere else. Ours was a moderately-priced remodel, and given space issues we had, this was the best solution for us. But someday, someday, someday!! A nice hood, with a more hidden MW will be the choice.
- Posted by swspitfire (My Page) on Mon, Mar 1, 10 at 10:01
|I am going to have an OTR because of space issues. Not my favorite choice but I hope it will be ok.
It is a Panasonic with 420CFM and it will be located on an outside wall so vented directly out, no bends. This was the best CFM model I could find. (Appliance store lady also said it was quiet- always a relative statement!)
Demo starts TODAY so maybe I will be able to try it in the next 4-5 weeks.....
|Our microwave is going in an open space below a deep - 20 inches - upper cabinet next to our fridge. Here's a picture without the microwave in place yet:
In a 24-inch cabinet, about 20-inches deep the selections of microwaves are somewhat limeted, but there are choices. A wider cabinet would give you lots of choices.

Pat's StoryThis recipe on food52.com- Lara writes-
You'll love the microwavable version of this recipe, which makes a small batch of super crisp chips in about 2 minutes. These chips are great with a sprinkle of sea salt, but even better with the homemade "Baked Potato" seasoning mix, makes these chips taste like Tato Skins. You can use Russet potatoes , sweet potatoes, yams and lotus root.
3 medium
or large russet potatoes
non stick vegetable oil spray not olive oil spray
sea salt
1/4 c
powdered buttermilk
1 tsp
sea salt
1/2 tsp
dry ground mustard
1 Tbsp
finely chopped chives
1 Tbsp
crispy fried bacon, finely chopped
black pepper to taste
Directions Step-By-Step
1The key to the perfect crispy chip is the mandolin. you need to get the potatoes really, really thin with a porcelain slicer or mandolin(always use the guard) Set it at 1.3 mm.
Place the slices in a large bowl.
Cover with very cold water, swish and then drain.
2Place the slices in a single layer on a towel, and then gently roll them up to lightly dry them. Keep the slices rolled up in the towel as you cook off batches to keep them from oxidizing and turning black.
3Spray the slices with the oil and place in a single layer on a microwave salt plate spray again lightly( can be made on a bacon microwave dish).
Cook on full power for about 1-2 minutes, depending on how many chips fir on the plate.
4You'll likely need to do this in many small batches. Be careful as the plate will be hot. Toss the crisp chips into a large bowl and sprinkle with salt or potato seasoning. These will only keep a day or two- who am I kidding they will be gone in 5 minutes! LOL

Vapor Mass Flow Meter
Vortex meters are often used for vapor flows. The formula m= (MW*P*V)/(RT) allows for the direct calculation of mass of a gas stream with constant composition from volume flow, pressure and temperature measurements.
m = mass
MW = Molecular Weight of gas
n= number of moles of gas
P = Pressure
V= Volume
T = Temperature
r = "universal" gas constant, which is a function of the units for P, V, and T.
Until recently calculating gas mass flow required multiple sensors however there are now two manufacturers (Krohne http://www.krohne.com/OPTISWIRL_4070C_Vortex_Durchflussmessgeraet_en.11250.0.html and Honeywell http://hpsweb.honeywell.com/Cultures/en-US/Products/Instrumentation/flow/VersaFlowVortex/default.htm ) who have integrated pressure and temperature compensated vortex meters so you can calculate mass flow for vapours/gases with a single meter. Several other manufacturers also have this calculation capability but require an external pressure signal to be connected to the vortex meter.
The preferred way to measure steam flow is in kg/hr and fortunately, because the composition of steam does not change, the calculation of steam flow with a temperature and pressure compensated vortex flow meter is relatively straightforward.
I cannot understand why these companies do not aggressively market this unique ability to measure vapor mass flow but hopefully this post at least raise the awareness for you should you have need to make this measurement.

The iconic "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" returns to ABC with a special two-hour Thanksgiving-themed episode, with actress, author, activist and entrepreneur Jenny McCarthy guest starring as team leader. The Watson Family episode will premiere MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26 (9:01-10:00 & 10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network, immediately following the "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars" Performance Finale. The remaining three special episodes will air on the following three Mondays, December 3, December 10 and December 17. Get a sneak peek below!
Daniel and Mandy Watson are not only the proud adoptive parents of three adorable, fun-loving kids with boundless energy, they're also inspiring examples of how people can make a difference in the lives of so many others. Having both been raised by single mothers, the Watsons work tirelessly to transform the lives of low-income, single mother families through housing and by providing the tools to succeed in life... all while their own home falls apart around them. Four years ago, they left their jobs and created the Restoration House, a non-profit organization that provides single mothers with housing at a local apartment complex, as well as the tools needed (mentoring, advocacy) to be confident, self-sufficient and productive members of their community. This passionate young couple fight hard for their dream of 'restoring' the lives of single mothers and their children in Knoxville, Tennessee, where over 5,000 single-mother families live below the poverty line. Their mantra, "It Takes a Village," has helped many single mothers and their children transition to successful lives, both financially and personally. But their own home is in such bad shape that it threatens to take them away from their non-profit and imperils their dreams of expanding the program to help even more single moms.
The Watsons decided to forgo having biological children and adopted Atley (6) and Ava (5) as newborns from single mothers in the Knoxville area, as well as baby Silas (1) from Ethiopia. Both Ava and Silas were at-risk adoptions, as Ava tested cocaine positive when she was born, and Silas was found abandoned in the bushes at two days old, suffering from neonatal tetanus and on the verge of death. Now all three children are healthy and playful, brimming with joy and mischief. Daniel works tirelessly at the Restoration House as Executive Director, but also works a second job at night as a web developer to pay the bills. Even though Mandy is now staying at home to take care of Silas, she spends countless hours helping the mothers in the program.
The "EM:HE" design team has just seven days to build a new Restoration House that's larger, with additional living quarters where they can house two single mother families at a time while those families go through the Restoration House program. The episode features a visit to the "Wipeout" set and an appearance by UFC Champion fighter Jon "Bones" Jones. The Watson family has been whisked away on a dream vacation to Sarasota, Florida while special guest team leader Jenny McCarthy and the "EM: HE" team of designers -- Paul DiMeo, Tracy Hutson, John Littlefield and Jillian Harris -- along with Grace Construction and community volunteers, build the structure.

College credit for Wal-Mart work: Should doing a job count toward degrees?
Wal-Mart and other companies are giving their employees college credit for skills they've learned on the job. The extra credit is the boost many workers need to finish stalled degrees.
Shauna Marlette/Yankton Press & Dakotan/AP
Hundreds of thousands of Wal-Mart employees now have an extra reason to consider pursuing a college degree. Through a partnership with the online American Public University (APU), they can qualify for free college credits that are awarded for the knowledge and skills they've gained in certain job categories. By 2012, 70 percent of the giant company's US staff will be in jobs that are eligible for free credits.
The partnership is emblematic of changes in the college landscape. Many adults are going back to school to upgrade their career prospects – a move that could be essential for today's difficult job market. In addition, President Obama has said that by 2020, the United States should lead the world in the rate of college degrees earned.
It is against this backdrop that demand is growing for more credits for learning accomplished outside the classroom – in the military, the workplace, or even volunteer activities.
Rather than simply requiring traditional "seat time,... everyone is looking [for how to] get more people through higher-ed programs faster and in a more flexible way," says Richard Kazis, senior vice president of Jobs for the Future, a research and policy organization in Boston.
But is working in a job, say, as a cashier really worthy of college credit?
If a student can show how the experience translates into knowledge and skills that others might learn in a college class, then yes, higher-education experts say.

At Halouba, these cures run the gamut from the mundane to the esoteric. Need legal help? Burn an "Alleged Court Case" candle. Pining for a lover? That's as easy to deal with as splashing a bit of perfume behind the ears, or spraying an aerosol designed to attract a sweet honey. For those who are more than occasional dabblers, there are decorated libation bottles for favorite spirits, plaster statues, vodou flags, tin plates and bowls for offerings of food or incense, and herbal concoctions for healing baths. Hidden in the back is a vodou temple where Papa Paul holds court during ceremonies and the occasional card reading.
Choose your herbs carefullyNot all herbs are alike. In fact, different herbs will have significantly different effects on your mind and emotions. So when creating your own herbal incense, it's crucial to know how different herbs will affect you differently. The function of the incense should have a key impact on which herbs you choose. Do you want to give your mood a boost? Are you preparing for a romantic candlelight dinner? Will you be performing a religious ceremony? By first determining the function of the herbal incense, you'll be better prepared to choose the right herbs. Besides doing research to create a blend of herbs, you should also do some experimentation.

$688.62 On Highlighters, Crayons And Binders? Really?
The National Retail Federation says that the average back-to-school costs for American families will be $688.62 this year. At first, I thought that was way too high and hyped up. My daughters, eight and 10, do have a long list. My third grader -- I'm looking at her list right now -- has 23 items on her list, which includes glue sticks, Post-It notes, crayons and then more unusual items like Ziploc Bags and personal headphones to wear when she works on a computer. Still, $688? But then I realized that the NRF is including all families, from those who have one child to families like the Duggars (you know, 19 Kids and Counting) who surely raise the average considerably.
However, back to school shopping, with this survey, also includes electronics and clothes, and suddenly it becomes pretty easy to imagine racking up $688.62 on a credit or debit card. That's a lot of money. And if you're a rookie, you could probably use some tips. Maybe these tips won't save you a ton of money, but they will help keep you on track.
So, here's the syllabus for School Supplies 101:
- Create a budget. If you don't have $688 to spend on school supplies, then decide on a realistic budget by reviewing how much was spent on last year's credit card statement. You may even catch some places you overspent last year, helping you make some budget cuts.
- Make a list. Or use the list provided by the teacher. Many supplies differ between schools, grades and teachers. Best wait until you know exactly what they'll need, and save yourself the return trip or shipping.
- Consider a mobile wallet. As mobile wallets gain in popularity, some retailers may have coupons, mobile promotions, or loyalty cards. A mobile wallet is an easy way to keep all those savings organized by retailer all in one place. Many stores now accept coupons on a smartphone screen, rather than having to print out and sort through a purse stuffed with papers.
- Avoid the stores all together. Check websites like Wal-Mart.com, Staples.com and Amazon.com and tackle those list items. You're less likely to get distracted by "huge" discounts on store end caps on an item that wasn't on your list anyway. Kids can still customize their selections by sitting with you and choosing highlighter colors and folder designs. Find an retailer with a no-hassle or free return policy and you could get the kids' clothes shopping done pretty easily, as well.
- Get some points, cash back, miles… something! It's a big shopping weekend, make the most of it. Check to see if any of your current credit cards are running a points promotion. If you need a card that will help you float the cost of the back-to-school bill, Slate from Chase is offering, at the time of writing, 15 months of 0% interest on purchases and balance transfers with no fee. Does the family travel during the holidays? Put the shopping charges on a new account in the first three months with Gold Delta SkyMiles from American Express and you'll get 30,000 bonus miles. If cash back is what you want, Chase Freedom Visa is offering a pretty great deal of $100 cash back after $500 in purchases in the first three months, 0% APR for 15 months, and 1%-5% cash back in various categories. Always check for the most current information on credit card deals here.
But in the end, unless anyone can explain to me how to successfully grow a money tree in my back yard, I don't think anyone can really help us shop for any better than we already do. Shopping for school can be a hoot, or it can be a drag, and it's certainly expensive, but the one thing it isn't, is rocket science. We can only hope that in supporting our kids by buying them glue sticks and helping them with their homework that one day they may grow up to be a rocket scientist.
