Follow-Up Postings:
Love the collection (especially 'Legolas').
Great roots, and in such a short time - for some reason I thought that variegates are little more difficult to root...
Hope to see follow-up photos as they grow bigger.

|Happy New Year Josh,
Nice looking Jades, I have many but none of the variegated type, It always seems like we have everything until someone posts their collection.
Well I see whats on my list for this year.
|Very nice job, Josh. The pictures add so much to your excitement - well done.
There's an old family nursery close by that has a boat load (okay, maybe, six - twelve) mature-ish common(?) var Jades. Guess I better to have another look.
If I remember correctly they could be "Lancaster". Are these easy to identify just by appearance?

|Love that 'Legolas', too....and nice, crunchy soil mix!
|Gorgeous! Lucky duck. Love that variegation.

|New Years Resolution: Find Variegated Jades. Last years was variegated eureka lemon, and check.
|Great job Josh!! Rooting Jades is NO easy task for me( nearly impossible actually ) here in very humid FL...so my hat's off to you! Looking forward to updates for sure!
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 4, 13 at 11:01
|Josh! Extremely remarkable!
I knew you could do it pal! The key was to get them to you as plump and at their peek growth.
I love how the 'Legolas' held on to it's white color without shriveling up. Oh, they look so full and healthy.
Pretty soon I will be cutting some more before I put them out for the spring.
Thank you for sharing with us. I am so excited to see they all made it for a great guy!
You know what I love about these? That all with retain their coloring right through the winter. All the main plants are as birght and vivid as the day I brought them in. Talk about bright plants at a most dismal time of the year. And, they will grow fast for you!

|Mike, maybe in the spring, I could trouble you for a couple of cuttings. I might drive up to see if you if possible.

|Thanks, Rina!
I think these variegates have enough green to make rooting easy.
Attempting to root variegated leaves, particularly mostly white ones, is very difficult.
I stuck a few leaves, as well, and the 'Red Horn Tree' leaf shriveled up within a few days.
The mix was not measured, just eye-balled this time - I took some rain-soaked recycled mix
Christopher, thanks sir! I will surely update with the success or failure of this planting.
Happy New Year, Greg! It's good to see you :-)
Monet, if you can post a picture it would be great.
Mister Tom Termine, thanks! I love a crunchy mix that snaps, crackles, pops, and smells
Colleen, I feel very, very lucky! I don't particularly fancy the typical variegated Jade,
Irrelephant, get you some variegated Jades! :-D
Hey, Nancy, thanks for stopping by! I think we ought to have an "underground root-road"
Mike, none of this would be possible without you, buddy.
Laura, if you do go up to stalk Mike, a bottle of wine will loosen him up ;-)
- Posted by LauraRobichaud 5b Mass. (My Page) on Fri, Jan 4, 13 at 12:07
|Thanks for the tip, Josh. He might find me hiding behind a bench in his greenhouse, perfectly still, holding an orchid in front of my face.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Fri, Jan 4, 13 at 13:36
|Hahaha, if you can find room to hide in Mike's greenhouse, I'll be amazed! :-)
Be careful, though...if he doesn't notice you, you might get watered and fertilized.
- Posted by chaparralgirl Sonoran Desert (CA) (My Page) on Fri, Jan 4, 13 at 13:49
Thanks for the detailed description of your process. I'll have to make use of it myself! :)
And lovely specimens - I love variegates on jades!
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Fri, Jan 4, 13 at 15:09
|Thanks, CG, I'm glad you liked it! :-)
|Hey Josh...LOVE your great idea...might have to work on that :o)
- Posted by bikerdoc5968 6 SE MI (My Page) on Sat, Jan 5, 13 at 13:56
|Josh, in your close-up of your mix, I've circled some brown porous material. What is it? Since you live in CA, I am assuming you probably get your Pumice and Scoria, locally, yes? If not, do you have a source? Thanks
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sat, Jan 5, 13 at 15:23
|Hey, Howard!
You are correct, I buy my materials at a local nursery in Auburn.
The circled material is Scoria, red lava rock. This is an E.B. Stone product
sold in small bags as "volcanic pumice," and comes in white, grey, and red/brown.
It should be available throughout the state. It's one of my favorite ingredients.

|Hi !
Beautiful plants.
Just one question about C.o.'Maruba Nishiki' : do you have a reliable source about the cross C. o. 'Obliqua' X C.o.'Hummel's Sunset' ?
Thank you very much.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Jan 6, 13 at 14:09
|Laurent, thanks!
I do not have a reliable source on the cross information.
It is something that I read in association with this plant when first shown by Ben.
It is "thought to be" a cross between obliqua and 'Hummel's Sunset,' is what I read.
Whenever I receive more thorough information, I will update all my notes and images :-)
Thank you!
- Posted by FrenchSucculents none (My Page) on Sun, Jan 6, 13 at 15:51

|Wonderful weather we're having, and I thought I'd update on the small forest of cuttings. New growth and increased vibrance and color now that Spring is near. I have this container in some partial shade on the back deck.
- Posted by kaktuskris 6 NH (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Feb 17, 13 at 17:42
|Looks great, Josh! Good job. Just love the variegated Jades.
Here is a pic of a cutting of a cutting of Mike's Jade, in a south facing window.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Feb 17, 13 at 19:27
|Thanks, Christopher!
I'll snap a pic of two other variegates from Mike tomorrow. I also have mine in a south window, and they sure do get thirsty with the sun light and the warmth. Nice to see the return of the red margins. This season, I'm going to fertilize more heavily...everyone's cuttings or plants from Mike seem to be growing faster than mine!!! Time to change things up ;-)
- Posted by woodnative 6 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 19, 13 at 13:19
|I missed this post first time around so glad I was able to see it now. They look great!!! Good luck with all of them......you will have a full-size variegated forest in no time!
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 13 at 11:21
|Hey, thanks, Woodnative! I can't wait to get them outdoors full-time :-)
|Very NICE Josh. You make rooting Jades seem so effortless,lol...wish it was that easy for me :o)
Great Job with them, thanks for the update!
|Great job, Josh! Looks beautiful.
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 3, 13 at 15:13
|Josh, how are they looking now with the sun in your area getting hotter and hotter while the temps are still cool?
You are doing a great job buddy!
- Posted by kaktuskris 6 NH (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Mar 3, 13 at 19:33
|So where are those pictures, Josh?
I just took this yesterday of the most common variegated Jade alongside a cutting of a cutting of Mike's Jade for comparison...

- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Mar 4, 13 at 16:57
|Hey, Nancy, Greta, Mike, Christopher, and Linda!
I'm sorry for my delay, and thanks for reminding me Chris to snap some more pics of the other variegates I have. I completely forgot! I have some time this afternoon to take pics, and I'll upload later tonight.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Mar 5, 13 at 10:36
|Good morning!
Another progress pic, and this time I've included two other variegates from Mike - up top, middle and right, are cuttings from Mike's well-traveled mother plant. Top-left, a different variegate entirely, with more yellow and white leaves, as well as some grey-blue coloration. Now that I see the pic in the message, I realize I'll need to take some additional close-up pics.
|Josh, these looks so fresh and gorgeous!
I have one variegated jade that I just potted into gritty mix and it's happily lounging on the southern balcony.
What is that tall one of the far right? I want it! :-)
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Mar 5, 13 at 17:54
|Hey, thank you :-)
The tall one on the right in the round pot is a cutting from Mike's un-named variegated mother Jade - if I recall, he got a piece from a dentist friend several years ago (eh, Mike?). This cutting had a cool curve in the trunk, and I've tried to grow it a bit more "bonsai."
I'd like to see a pic of your re-potted Jade.
- Posted by kaktuskris 6 NH (email@example.com) on Tue, Mar 5, 13 at 19:31
|A nice group shot of some very nice plants, Josh.
So how is the weather your way? Looks nice and green, from the photo. Here we might have another snowstorm heading this way tomorrow, so tired of it.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 21:47
|Hi, Grace!
I think a lot of us are doing the plant shuffle this time of year ;-)
I've been taking plants out every day that I can, and bringing them in at night - today we hit 78F; yet tonight will drop to the upper 30F's. It's a lot of work, but also a great way for the plants to regain some of the vitality lost over the Winter. Be careful not to burn your plants with too much sun too soon, though.
I had a few out on the table yesterday...
|Wowwwww nice beautiful "Legolas" lucky you. :) willing to share a leaf lol
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Mar 26, 13 at 12:43
|Thanks ;-)
I think Glen (gmaculata) is propagating some 'Legolas'...at least I hope he is. I already failed to root a leaf - granted, it was an all-white leaf. I think this one will have a much higher strike rate if started from cutting. Full disclosure: there's a list as long as my arm of folks who've requested pieces of 'Legolas.'
|Yeah I can only imagine an all white leaf being impossible lol
And I sure that lost will grow such a beautiful specimen that I hope I can add to the collection one day any how great progress and g/l
|My mother plant has been cut so many times she needs a rest. I have tried from leaf cuttings and have only gotten one out of about 60 leaves to have any variegated markings. The leaf will want to root out of the tissue that has the chlorophyll and therefor is not likely to pass the variegation to the offspring. It is not a super fast grower but it is not a wimpy plant and has survived my cool damp greenhouse with no problems. To those that I have shared the plant with all I ask is that you only pass along the cuttings that have the traits such as you got it from me. Thanks!
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Mar 26, 13 at 22:40
|You got it, Glen :-)
Any chance we could see a picture of the mother plant?
- Posted by beachplant 9b (email@example.com) on Fri, Mar 29, 13 at 11:34
|Pug, you are so right! They are an impossible plant in the humidity. And they do not seem too fond of a/c either. It's kind of funny that people in Canada have better luck with them.
Ya'll keep me amused you are so passionate about these little guys.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Fri, Mar 29, 13 at 13:23
|Pug sure grows them well, though. And they even bloom for her.
Glad you're amused, though.
- Posted by beachplant 9b (email@example.com) on Sun, Mar 31, 13 at 10:46
|I gave up on them years ago. There is one on the backporch that came in a dish garden and is struggling. I don`t think they are really fond of salt air either. I know a lot of people in the drier parts of Texas grow them.
I`m easily amused what can I say.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Mar 31, 13 at 12:25
|These grow a stone's throw from the ocean in Monterey, California. I remember, I was amazed to see large 'Hummel's Sunsets' growing in front yards.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Mar 31, 13 at 14:37
|Happy Easter! Here's an update on the cuttings. The first of the Maruba Nishiki leaves is sending up a plantlet. We'll see if the traits hold.

|Thanks for the update Josh. I wish I could get my hands on some of those varieties!
Nancy, what kind of jades do you have?
|Love this thread! I fell in love with the Jade plant last Fall. I've used some of the tips I've read on some of y'alls Jade threads, and it has really helped! Great photos though. Really inspiring.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Wed, Apr 3, 13 at 14:06

|Thanks, Jessie, so kind!
We are entering that time of year, however, when the 'Hummel's Sunset' and other pale-leafed Jades get browned margins. I'll be moving them into some partial shade.

|Looking good greenman!
|greenman or anyone, do you use a special ceramic drill on those delicate-looking pots for drainage holes?
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Aug 19, 13 at 18:12
All my pots came with drainage holes, so I'm lucky that I haven't had to do much drilling.
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 19, 13 at 19:13
|Josh...Dang they are all looking so good!
Mine are just starting to get much larger now...It's been a strange growing season to say the least.
I'll be posting the mother plants very soon pal..Should I post them here? They do have something in common..lol
Mine are coloring up very well...It's been cool here at night for a month now, cooler than normal and hot sun by day!+
Have a great night buddy!
|Hello all! I just wanted to say those variegated jades look amazing!
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Aug 19, 13 at 20:48
|Hey, guys!
It's hot and smoky here...wildfires burning throughout northern California. But we're surviving somehow ;-)
My variegates have really gotten sunblasted this Summer, and the birds pecked out two of the 'Maruba Nishiki' plantlets, along with some grit...so I'm bummed about those. Mike, I need to pot these into their own containers, too...I think they'll do much better.
Please post some pics, Mike, I would love to see the parent plants :-)
- Posted by woodnative 6 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 20, 13 at 21:55
|Have they been fertiized Obviously good sun but they could have put out more growth over summer. However, that is only to speed growth. Thanks forcthe updated pic.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Wed, Aug 21, 13 at 1:33
|Very, very little fertilizer...hot roots, too.
Time to re-pot them and treat them to more nutrients.
- Posted by greentoe357 7b Brooklyn NY (My Page) on Sat, Aug 31, 13 at 23:06
|Josh, can we see the side shot or better yet several side shots of that big asymmetrical wavy pot? It looks interesting - almost as gorgeous as the Jades themselves.
Is it an actual planter or originally sold as something else? I am exploring using something funky like a fruit basket or a low/wide vase or a salad mixing bowl as a planter as long as I can drill a hole in whatever material it's made of.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Sep 2, 13 at 10:59
|Good morning!
I'd be glad to get some pics....I'll go out directly.
Yes, this is an actual bonsai pot with feet and two nice drainage holes. Twice now I've used it to propagate Jades, but I think it's too shallow for full Summer sun. This season my plants have gotten cooked! :-)
I've seen some very cool pots created from various ceramic and clay objects, baskets, coffee cups, et cetera. As long as the paint/glaze/material isn't toxic, you're good to go.
Be back shortly...

It's a 'pick-me-up' to see such a nice plants!
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sat, Nov 23, 13 at 15:13
|Thanks for the continued interest! I'm having trouble with my computer lately, but I will update as soon as I can. These Jades are indoors now, and looking good.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sat, Nov 23, 13 at 17:43
|Alright...an indoor update pic.
The plants are still growing, putting on size....and the Maruba Nishiki is even beginning to branch at the top! I couldn't be happier. The leaves that I propagated from the Lancaster variegated have turned out to be regular green Jades, so I will pull them at my first convenience.
|Awsome thanks for the update lucky u g/l with them
Keep us posted
|Oh, looking GREAT!
|Very nice, Josh.
They are visibly bigger, great color and so healthy looking.
Thank you for brightening my day...(even if it's bright enough with some snow we had last night! And it got cold, around 12F, and forecasted only in low 20 for today...it looks like a long winter ahead).

|Hey, everyone! Thank you very much...I'm enjoying these Jades immensely. Now that I've been watering and fertilizing them a little more regularly, they are growing well.
Linda, I received these cuttings from Mike (thanks, Mike!).This way, if Mike ever loses a plant, he'll have a back up here in California :-)
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 23:24
|Good growth this Spring so far!
I'll try to get some good color without the leaves paling and turning brown at the edges. I've kept this pot in partial sun only and haven't left it out to the chilly and dewy nights.
The forest is looking great! Very 'fresh' green, nice variegation, and they look really succulent.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Wed, Apr 9, 14 at 11:17
|Thanks, Rina.
Yes, partial sun until they're fully acclimated, and then protection from the hottest sun of the day after that. Also, I need to fertilize more regularly this season....last season, they really paled out.
|Very nice!
It's exacting that Spring is beginning to show. I miss seeing everyone's jades' updates.
I read somewhere that strong fertilizer and bright sun will reverse variegation and plant will become green again. So if possible, watch carefully to see what effects it has on your plants.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sat, Apr 12, 14 at 13:17
Stush, I'll keep a close eye on the plants. Typically, the sun bleaches out the plants, resulting in mostly yellowy leaves where the variegation is difficult to see. I have seen 'Hummel's Sunset' Jades with very little coloration on a high Nitrogen diet.
|Looking really good Josh...thanks for the update!
Did you have to drill holes on the cool pot or was it already pre-drilled? It ooks great in that pot/container :o)
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sat, Apr 12, 14 at 17:10
|Thanks, Nancy! This bonsai pot came with holes, thankfully :-)
- Posted by littlekirstenjr none (My Page) on Mon, Apr 28, 14 at 15:54
|Hi Josh,
What a great little forest you've got going. I'm planning on whacking my variegated jade in a few days and am preparing to do so (working on putting together a good mix, finding pots for the cuttings, etc.). I just wanted to get this right: when you planted your cuttings, you waiting about a month to water them? Is that right? The cuttings will be pretty large--branch sized.
I'm just trying to make sure I don't kill my variegated gem ;)
Lil K jr
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Apr 28, 14 at 17:02
Yes, it was about that long before I actively watered. There was *some* moisture in the mix when assembled, so that added a buffer - but not so moist that rot would have been a concern. If you use a super porous and loose mix, you can dribble some water around (not on) the cuttings after a week or two...and you can gently remove the cuttings from the mix to check on rooting progress. Again, only if the mix is so loose that you won't damage the newly forming roots.
- Posted by Grantgarden2 5 (email@example.com) on Wed, Oct 1, 14 at 16:27
|Any updates?
|I was trying to find this thread because I was curious how yours were doing, Josh! I couldn't find it - but Grant brought it back. :)
I had posted my cuttings back up there on March 13th of last year. My guys have grown a bit but I think I must've burnt them when they first came to my new house -- because I got these marks on the tips.
I've since put her where she is in the photo where she gets sun later than her original spot. The marks (burns?) haven't gotten any worse, it's adapting nicely and now I am glad I planted them in a pot that was a wee bit too big for them.
What were tiny little cuttings of your have grown HUGE. I love that marked one on the right of the photos with big yellow splotches. Very cool.

|Hello! Thanks for the bump! I just so happen to have taken a few pics in the last week...right after we had the first nice rains of the season. I really need to pot these each separately now, and as always I need to fertilize more.
Grace, I find that the variegates burn very easily. I've always had trouble keeping the white leaves pristine. Anyhow, here are couple pics I took.

|Every time I see these photos I covet 'Legolas'. What a unique beauty!!! I like the one in the back right and back middle too. What are the cultivar names of these two?? Looking good! Nice to compare and see growth and changes over time!
|Oh, WOW! They all look GREAT! I love how the Maruba is keeping it's variegated colors.
I so miss everyone's jades' pics.
Sugi - Yours look fine. Mine got burned.
Not sure if you all remembered but I found a tri-color jade at a nursery last year. It seemed to be doing fine until of late. A few weeks, ago, the leaves were all burned. I guess the sun got brighter? It was in the same spot all season in full sun - about 5 hours in the day.
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Thu, Oct 2, 14 at 19:44
|Woodnative, 'Legolas' is awesome...but such a slow grower, for me at least. The one in the middle-back is an unknown variegated Jade that was purchased from Lancaster garden / nursery - not sure exactly. The one on the right is Maruba Nishiki, a Japanese hybrid variegate.
Camellia, when the sun lowers again in the Fall, it strikes the plants at a different angle and can burn them very easily.
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (email@example.com) on Sat, Oct 4, 14 at 17:38
|Hey Josh...I love the updates! Looking real nice..
I promise I will post the parents to those plants as soon as it's sunny..Sheesh, I am suppose to get warm sunny days and cool nights, not happening this year..It's been cloudy everyday and dark and dismal since last year. I think I live in the wrong area for colors like that. I can't wait to see if they flower too for you.
Good job pal..
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Oct 19, 14 at 13:43
|Thanks, Mike, sorry it took so long to get back....I lost track of this Thread. Still waitin' on you to take those update pics! I bet you're getting great color now that the season's changing. These variegates aren't flowering yet, but one of the cuttings from your variegated mother plant is flowering....along with a few others.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Matthew Morrison try to hide from the paparazzi in London. (March 29, 2011)
anyone arrogant enough to name their child "Apple" has a big enough ego to consider adultery acceptable.
why would she cheat with him? they don't seem like a pair. at all.

There has been much talk at the Cannes Lions advertising festival about the importance of data and analytics, that sort of thing. But it took George Lois, the art director best known for his Esquire cover designs (who is coincidentally the same age as Don Draper would have been) to remind people about what advertising is all about. "Everybody talks about technology, technology, technology, and I talk creativity, crea-fuckin-tivity, crea-fuckin-tivity," Lois told the world's press after his festival appearance on Friday. "You read big articles in Fortune magazine, 25 pages by heads of agencies and you look for the word 'creativity'. It must be there somewhere. Creativity can solve any problem. It's amazing when you talk to young people – 'technology this and this and this' – Jesus Christ, concentrate on creativity." By this time he was on a roll. "Figure out how to do great ideas, that's what it's all about. Technology – go with the flow. Understand how to create big fucking advertising ideas, that's the only way you will be great. Someone else can figure out the fucking technology."

I would love, love, LOVE a set of Enve decals to match the blue in my black/blue SL-R.
What is the colour code that is used on my bike?
As you can see from the image they can make them so maybe do a job lot for Ibis? ($150 seems a bit steep for 6 stickers even for me)

Turkeys were on sale for $4.88 so naturally I bought 6. We ground 2 and smoked 4 plus the wings of the other two birds. I couldn't find an answer to how many would fit on the 22.5 WSM before trying, so hopefully someone can use this as a reference for the size of this smoker if they are thinking of trying something similar.
The birds are between 14 - 15 lbs. We used 4 different rubs and methods as a test smoke for thanksgiving. Shredded everything and vacuum-sealed for sandwiches. Made a smoked gumbo with the carcasses which was bomb too.
That there is a bit of alright. Good looking birds.
Good to know, I have the same Wsm
I will be throwing 3 birds in my smoker for thanksgiving myself. Picked them up last night, will be brining them sunday evening.

People always think that the oriental cheongsam is the patent of women to express the oriental beauty. In fact the men Chinese dress of the qipao design also show the oriental soul to the world. Men cheongsam is not as popular among the world as the women cheongsam, however, there are also lots of men who love Chinese cheongsam dress, they often wear the men cheongsam, even sometimes they make up themselves as women to fit the women cheongsam.
Let's have a look at the early men Chinese cheongsam dress.
Now the men cheongsam design has some improvements.
There is a lady whose husband love cheongsam into crazy. He love the qipao design, the women cheongsam, the men cheongsam, and all the cheongsam elements. He considers that the the oriental cheongsam can be the perfect interpretation of the Chinese beauty. He sometimes makes himself as a oriental beauty to wear his favorite cheongsam.
In his words the beauty with a right oriental cheongsam is the incompared elegant flower in the world.
When a man love oriental cheongsam he wears men cheongsam, but when a man wears both men cheongsam and women cheongsam well, he is the best man in Chinese dress.

Since today was a holiday I got the urge to do something fun and different.
Ended up taking a trail ride!
So even though I nearly threw these photos away, I'll be brave and expose how I looked last year when I went riding on the beach in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and you can compare that to today.
I still have a long way to go, but I am moving in the right direction!
compared to today, riding "Big John" at Dead Broke Farm
Here's a photo of the trail - autumn at its peak!
And for Absolutzero, think I could ride Summer, the miniature horse?
I wouldn't put a pony through that! LOL
I was THRILLED they gave me the biggest, strongest horse to ride today -
Big John is nearly 18 hands tall! (That's 68 to 70 inches tall at the withers -
the front part of the back, where the saddle is located)
Looking forward to continuing this exciting journey!
First - I'm still alive. Went to my doctor yesterday and got stronger cold prescriptions but it's nothing worse, just have to ride it out. Ironic that I feel GREAT after the half marathon, only limitation is a strained ligament in my left foot, otherwise I felt up to running Monday, the day after (I didn't!)
Second - light bulb moment! We can endure a LOT when we know it will end (like going 13 or 26 miles!) but become woosies when we don't know how long something will last (the aforementioned cold, I was actually crying in the exam room, I felt so yucky & helpless). So keep setting those GOALS, people! When you know it will eventually end, you can do pretty much anything!
Now the confession. Since I only wanted medicine and to crawl back into bed, I hemmed and hawed and finally rationalized that since I was not going to cook for dinner (I had already done really well with a reasonable breakfast and tomato soup for lunch, I really had been good ) that maybe a "value meal" would tide me over and after all, I could eat half and reheat the other half later, right? Don't know when medium drinks became over 30 oz, but I know that secret original Classic Coke formula got that name for a reason, right? ANYWAY...I onion rings (sigh) and it HAD to be better than Mickey D's Big Mac Heart Attack meal with the 2 apple pies, don't you agree?
Pop my bubble, why don't you? The scale told the real story -
3(!!!) pounds this morning and worse emotionally, back over an xx0 number!
You don't have to worry about ME cheating again! I have worked TOO LONG & made TOO MUCH progress to go back down THAT road again! So even though I can't get back to my regular exercise schedule, I CAN & WILL do SOMETHING today, resume following my calorie range and chalk this up as a life lesson learned.
November 7, 2010. Goal met.
It was only important for me to finish. I�m still basically a walker, even though I believe I will one day be able to run and enjoy running.
It was a chance for me to dig deep into my character, and keep going beyond cold, discomfort, even pain.
Woke up at 5am (didn�t get enough sleep) and packed all my supplies. Decided to violate rule #1 of race events by wearing something new � a long sleeve tech shirt that would keep you warmer as you sweat. Called my daughter to coordinate where we would meet so I could
give her my keys and she�d serve as my support crew � particularly giving me the camelback water pack halfway through. Race instructions encouraged us to park by 6am for 7am start � I figured I�d be at the back anyway, so no biggie if I were a little later. About a mile and a half from the start location, cars were lined up for parking � parked and walked about a mile to start. That was a good warm-up and loosener. Met a guy who�d run it before, and as we were walking, my daughter pulled up � I gave her my car key with directions on where I�d parked. The guy told her �You have a cool mom.�
I was one of the last ones across the starting mat and was still carrying my bag with my wind pants, gu and the course directions for my daughter. Finally left the bag with volunteers on a corner so she could pick it up and I could focus on moving! What would we do without cell phones?
First person I walked with had trained for the half but suffered a back injury recently picking up her son. We swapped back injury stories, and I was impressed she was committed enough to still participate � walking instead of running. As we hit the first downhill I waved good-bye and started running�slowly. The berm was littered with throw away shirts the elites had ditched. Decided at that point I wouldn�t focus on keeping times, just go out and do my best, enjoy the experience. We continued through town around the capitol building with volunteers clanging cow bells and cheering us on the whole way. Every two miles was a �water stop� - they need to call it something else besides �stop.� As we were going up a certain anticipated hill, I used the techniques we practiced at my Level 2 ChiRunning clinic the weekend before, sidestepping on the diagonal to reduce the effort. That�s when I met Lynne, and we ended up going the majority of the distance together. Passing Peace College, Cameron Village, and heading back out to Hillsborough St we found ourselves in the most lovely autumn landscapes on a cool, sunny day � couldn�t have been much better. As we approached Meredith College I found my daughter and put on the camelback. First gu was chocolate mint � it was like icing, which was fine. This section was flat with minimal uphill, and went past the veterinary school � yes, methane is a reality. Around the corner to the fairgrounds, and the turnaround point for the half. Marathoners continued out to Umstead Park.
Reaching the turnaround point was a mental boost, but it was time for a potty break. Naturally, the door wouldn�t lock. Business done, continued back down the street past NC State University and caught back up with Lynne. Ditched the camelback with my daughter � even that little weight was tiring. About mile 6 my hip started to complain and by mile 9 my feet were squawking as well. Just kept listening to my music, keeping a cadence, and enjoying the scenery and the fact that I was going to be done in less than an hour. With about 3 miles to go, Lynne had to stop for her potty break and I went on alone. I could tell I was favoring my left hip, but kept telling myself to relax and keep moving. Another gu, strawberry flavored, and the knowledge that the final half mile was all downhill helped. I couldn�t run the entire last mile, but made sure I was running as I crossed the mats and got my medal and water from the volunteers. First thing to do afterwards � take a photo with my daughter. Then it was back to the potty and to stretch. Forgot to press my Garmin when I crossed the finish, and couldn�t find my time posted, so figured I�d just wait until I got home to check, but I was under my 4 hour goal for sure. When my daughter went to pick up her car to take me back to mine, I was SO glad I didn�t have to walk that mile back! My body said, �If you�re going to put us through this, we are going to act our age.�
me nearing the finish
Sign: YOU ROCK (me running past in red shirt & camelback, probably mile 7)
coming down to the wire - finish strong
nearing finish line

mission accomplished
Will try to upload more photos later - website not cooperating.
You can see a picture of my medal up close on my Spark Page!
So to answer your questions:
Definitely worth it,
Yes, will do it again,
and NO � don�t try this at home! You have to train if you want to do a distance event!

Tomorrow I will be a changed woman - I will have completed a half marathon.
I'm only aiming to finish. I will probably walk the majority of it. But I am going to DO IT.
And that's what counts.
Appropriately, the event is named after Raleigh's nickname, The City of Oaks.

Fibromyalgia is a medically unexplained syndrome characterized by chronic widespread pain and a heightened and painful response to pressure (allodynia). Other core symptoms are debilitating fatigue, sleep disturbance, and joint stiffness. Some patients may also report difficulty with swallowing, bowel and bladder abnormalities, numbness and tingling (paresthesia) and cognitive dysfunction.
Living with chronic widespread pain can be tough. But the more you learn, the better you will feel. There is hope for people with this kind of pain, which may be diagnosed as a condition called fibromyalgia.
Knowing the facts can put you on the road to better health. The Fibromyalgia Patient Handbook and Tip Pamphlet to the right will give you a place to start. It is also crucial that you see a healthcare professional. Talk about how you feel. He or she can help you understand and manage your pain.

Fibromyalgia (fī'brō-mī-āl'jē-ə) affects more than 6 million people in this country. Most of them are women, but it does occur in men as well.
People with fibromyalgia may experience the following symptoms:
Many people live with pain for years before fibromyalgia is found as the cause. Now, more healthcare providers are aware of the condition. This means that it can be addressed sooner. And there is a growing list of treatments that may help.
Little is known about the cause of this type of pain, but the central nervous system may play a role. There is no cure for fibromyalgia but there are treatments that can help. Many people have found ways to have a good quality of life in spite of fibromyalgia.
You Need a Proper Diagnosis
There are no blood tests or X-rays that can detect fibromyalgia. This makes the condition hard to diagnose. But guidelines from the American College of Rheumatology can help you and your healthcare provider figure out if you have the condition:
Do you have these symptoms? If you do, your healthcare provider should be able to help you find the causes. Your healthcare provider should know the basics about fibromyalgia. But if he or she does not, you may need to speak to a specialist. Fibromyalgia is often treated by rheumatologists, pain specialists or neurologists. These specialists may help you get a diagnosis. They may also provide you with the appropriate management plan.
People of all ages may have this kind of pain, but it is most common in those between 20 and 50. Some people may have both fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis4 or hypertension. Treating the pain of fibromyalgia can impact the management of other disorders. And treating associated conditions can affect the pain of fibromyalgia. It's important that you and your medical team identify and treat all of your chronic conditions.
You Deserve To Feel Better
There are a number of ways you can help control your pain and live better. Not all methods may work for you. Using more than one approach may work best. It's vital for you to take an active role in your care. Taking an active role helps you best manage your condition. Among the steps you can take are:
Exercise: Staying active is key to maintaining health. This may be tough at first. Try taking small steps. Build up to a program that you can do. Walk, bike or swim to help feel better. These activities don't have to be hard. Any movement will help. Becoming more flexible and maintaining flexibility may help reduce pain. You may want to work with a physical therapist. He or she can design a plan that will work for you. Check with your healthcare provider at the start of any exercise program.
Sleep: Getting a good night's sleep is one of the best things you can do. Go to bed and wake up at the same time. Taking naps during the day may interfere with your ability to sleep a full 8 hours at night. If you are having difficulty sleeping at night, try not taking naps during the day. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep. Your healthcare provider can give you other sleep tips. He or she may also talk to you about medications that may help.
Nutrition: Eating well is central to good health. Drinking lots of fluids also helps. Having a balanced diet means eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and healthy proteins. Don't skip breakfast or other meals. Try to avoid snacks with lots of sugar. Instead, eat healthy snacks such as raw fruits, vegetables and high-protein snacks.
Stress-Relief Techniques and Complementary Medicine: Research shows meditation can help. It's also a known stress-reliever. Massage may help as well. It boosts circulation and stimulates nerves. Tai chi, acupuncture and chiropractic treatment also may help relieve symptoms.
Medication: In some cases, your healthcare provider may suggest medication to treat the pain. Medication may also help relieve other symptoms. Medication is one of the tools to help you better manage your symptoms of fibromyalgia. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best plan for you.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes pain, stiffness, and tender spots on the body. It also makes people tire quickly. It involves muscles, ligaments, and tendons, and it is difficult to diagnose because there is no definitive test for fibromyalgia. Muscle and body stiffness are usually worse in the morning and improve as the day goes on. Back, neck, or shoulder pain is common. Many people with fibromyalgia also have trouble sleeping and some have depression or anxiety.
We don't know what causes fibromyalgia, and even the risk factors are not entirely clear. More women than men get fibromyalgia, and it usually develops in adulthood or middle age. A family history of fibromyalgia and a personal history of rheumatoid disease (such as arthritis or lupus) increase your risk. Some people believe that poor sleeping habits, mental or physical trauma, and repetitive activities (such as difficult physical labor or intense sports) increase the risk. Some research suggests a connection between Lyme disease and fibromyalgia, two conditions that are often confused because they have similar symptoms.
Treatment is aimed at controlling fibromyalgia's symptoms, since there is no cure for the condition. The treatments you should have depend on your symptoms. Usually, muscle aches and stiffness are treated with heat, massage, stretching, and exercise. If those non-drug treatments don't do the job, pain medications or steroid injections can be used. Relaxation and stress relief techniques can help reduce aches and pains and also lessen sleep problems, depression, and anxiety. Acupuncture gives some people relief from stiffness and pain. Also, medication can be used to treat sleep problems, depression, and anxiety.
You would likely benefit from seeing a team of health care professionals, including:
Beyond your medical team, there are many self-help groups and other peer organizations that support people living with fibromyalgia. Although fibromyalgia treatment is different for every individual, these groups can be helpful with common-sense tips and advice on how to manage your own care and find what works for you. Good luck!
This information should not be used as a substitute for necessary consultations with a qualified health care professional to meet your individual needs. Always consult a medically trained professional with questions and concerns you have regarding your medical condition.

Grey's Anatomy Hopes to Recapture the Magicby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Over the second half of last season, Grey's Anatomy went from being the TV pal with whom every get-together feels like a giddy first date, to something more along the lines of a house guest who constantly gets on your nerves.
That's the assessment of the Contra Costa Times, and while it may seem a hit harsh, there's no doubt that many fans grew frustrated in Season 3.
The same with the cast members, who squabbled over the Isaiah Washington situation off screen, while on screen, a dark cloud hung over SGH.
Death, destruction and personal devastation reigned.
And oh, those creative missteps: Best pals George O'Malley (T.R. Knight) and Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) making booty calls? Ugh.
By the time the season of discontent was over, two key cast members were gone �" Washington and Kate Walsh, whose spin-off series, Private Practice, debuts tonight.
Gone, too, was much of the good will the show had built up.
As Grey's Anatomy returns for its fourth season tomorrow on ABC, its vital signs are strong, but still we wonder: Can this show get back to being the funny, frothy, intoxicating guilty pleasure it once was?
"I came back to this season sort of mandating that we have a lot of fun," she told TV writers this summer. "I felt like Season 3 was a dark season. It just is. I mean, Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) mom dies. George's dad dies. Meredith's stepmother dies. It was a bloodbath. But I want to get back to us enjoying it and having fun."
Still, Shonda Rhimes by no means cops to creative mismanagement.
While she admits the behind-the-scenes drama of last season was difficult, she stands by the direction of the show's storytelling: "It felt like the journey these characters needed to take" - and even the George and Izzie plotline.
"I understand it," she says of negative reaction to the unexpected couple. "I think, when Meredith and Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Alex (Justin Chambers) find out, they are going to have some pretty vitriolic reactions as well. I think that's part of what makes it interesting. The characters are flawed. They are really human.
And I'm not necessarily saying that George and Izzie are the love story of the century. People make mistakes. And perhaps this is a mistake. Perhaps it isn't. But I think it's an interesting thing to explore - that a best friend is your soul mate."She has a point.
That Grey's Antomy has adventurously embraced personal flaws and mistakes is one of the traits that makes it so intriguing. How many shows, after all, have a put-upon title character who inspires so much love-her, hate-her buzz? But it's a tough act to consistently pull off.
If plot developments become too outrageous and/or annoying, it becomes much easier for us not to care. How much longer, for example, will fans put up with the George-Izzie melodrama? And more importantly, how many more Meredith and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) breakups can we take?
The cast departures also are cause for concern. Washington's complex genius Dr. Burke was a fascinating character and proved to be the perfect yin to Ms. Yang. As for Walsh's Addison Montgomery, she arrived on the scene as a bit player who you wanted to detest.
But she deepened into a strong, classy, engaging woman, a welcome respite from the intern drama queens. Both were key components.
Maybe Chyler Leigh, who joins the Seattle Grace gang as Meredith's half-sister, Lexie, will make us forget Burke and /or Addison. Maybe not.
Either way, it will be interesting to see if Greys Anatomy can recapture the magic. When the show is at its best, it delicately blends sober drama and real emotion with unpredictable twists and breezy humor.
It's a potent brew that keeps us captivated and gets us talking.
"I take really seriously what the fans say. I kind of love that so many people feel this strongly about the show," Rhimes says. "What that means to me is that they are watching it and that they care about it and that they feel as emotionally connected to the characters as I do."
On an unrelated note, it is ironic that Isaiah Washington ended up in a show (Bionic Woman) pitted directly against Rhimes' new series, Private Practice. Washington isn't in tonight's pilot �" he will appear in five upcoming episodes �" but it will be interesting to see his return to television.
On Private Practice, Addison heads to L.A. to leave her McNightmares behind.
- The good news? Wednesday's premiere improves considerably on last May's back door pilot / preview episode.
- The bad news? It remains to be seen if this cast of all-stars (including Taye Diggs, Tim Daly, Amy Brenneman) can gel into an appealing ensemble.
Only one Grey's Anatomy character appears in this week's episode �" the chief (James Pickens Jr.), who reluctantly accepts Addison's resignation and watches her bolt Seattle. You can discuss the episode in our sister site's forum.

Kathy you SERIOULY ROCK. Well said.
I truly think GA will recapture the Magic this season. From what Shonda has been telling everyone about things being more FUN and the cast is having such a goodtime and glad to be back at work ...so it seems that everything is back on track! I think even though Shonda felt that the "dark and twisty" season three had to happen...I think Shonda also realizes that it is very important to bring the FUN back into this season because it not only brought the characters down (along with the other stuff that went on) it brought the viewers/fans down as well! And because GA is such a Hit show and is talked about so much anyway....I think after the last half of season 3 left everybody wanting so bad to get back to the way it use to be..(like season 1 and 2) . I have NEVER been this way over a tv show before and I know it is just tv...but, I was and am so into this show and its characters! I was so depressed after season 3! So, I know that I am ready for things to change in a good way too! I think that everybody is SO excited about the season to start back and finally see what we have missed not only during the summer months but the last half of season 3. We want our characters to be funny and happy again...yeah there will be drama..but thats ok. Just keep it light and fun and it seems as if that is what is happening according to PD and others have said in their interviews.! So, with all of that said, I for ONE am so excited for Season 4 to start so everybody can start talking about GA again in a good way!
No matter what happens I will still watch and love the show... Grey's Anatomy is like being married..through the good and the bad I will always watch.
I am so looking forward to this season, i hope shonda is serious when she says it will be more lighthearted than last season, dont get me wron, i loved season 3. i dont know what is wrong with people who say they hated it. sure it was all dark and twisty so what, its still greys so its still amazing
I totally agree! I loved season 3. All of these critics do not know what they are talking about! I love O'mizzie and MerDer! I have faith that Shonda knows what she is doing. I am definately looking forward to season 4.
Season 3 had its problems, but it had great moments too and for me, George and Izzie becoming a couple was the highlight of the season. I thought their love scene was sweet, beautiful and tender and so did the people I watched the scene with.
Same old tired sh*t by the critics, they all sound exactly the same. Not everyone hated last season. I meet a lot of people offline who loved the dark twist of season 3. And why did they post that 2-months old interview Shonda did about Gizzie? Old news much. I love how they always make it seem like ervyone hates them while, from what I am seeing on the Net and from all the people offline who I know love them, it seems more like 50-50 to me. Them not liking the couple does not mean noone does, but maybe they feel if they repeat it enough, Shonda will believe it and drop the couple. This is getting so tiresome and predictable.

Suzanne Says:
Yet another drug related shooting in this city. I want to move; however, my property value has dropped $60,000 due to a boarded up drug house on my street. We bought our house as a new construction 14 years ago. This is not right that the law abiding citizens of this city suffer because of the plethora of drug crimes that continue to prevail. Do these criminals ever get a consequence for their bad behavior?

Vladimir Zhirinovsky & the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia: Two Steps Backward for Democracy?
by Sascha Schilbach
Even from the auditorium's back row the leader and founder of Russia's Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR)—Vladimir Volfovitch Zhirinovsky—looked menacing. Sweating through his pink shirt half an hour late, Zhirinovsky took the stage in a flurry of bodyguards and uneven applause. Notebook ready and pen poised, I settled into my seat in the back corner of Vladivostok's main theatre.
My summer in Vladivostok was punctuated by an unusual event: Vladimir V. Zhirinovsky's visit. Hot on the campaign trail for the Russian presidency, Zhirinovsky's Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) placards and billboards had blanketed the town for the bulk of the summer. I learned of Zhirinovsky's visit to Vladivostok from LDPR's political advertisements, giant billboards depicting a pensive Zhirinovsky in a blue pinstripe suit seated against a background of blue drapes while clenching his fist below the emblazoned "ЛДПР."
I decided to attend the LDPR event in order to bolster my understanding of Russian politics and to gauge the level of local Russians' discontent with the direction of their country. At the time, opposition parties to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's United Russia party were jockeying for recognition and support from the Russian people in the run up to the Russian presidential election in March 2012. According to LDPR's website and political pamphlets, Zhirinovsky sounded more like a saint than a politician, more a panacea for Russia's social and economic ills than its malaise. Was this the election cycle in which Russia's political elite would answer to the demands of ordinary Russians?
The ultra-nationalist Zhirinovsky, a longtime figure in Russian politics, opened the event with a nod toward democratic principles: "Questions," he barked, "should be given to LDPR volunteers who will hand them to me. Please send your questions and concerns for me forward." Almost immediately a flutter of papers, the clicks of pens and murmurs from the audience answered Zhirinovsky's call for questions. As the woman to my left retrieved a notebook from her purse to begin scribbling down her questions, the man to my right passed a stack of handwritten notes and photocopies of newspaper clippings to a young LDPR volunteer standing in the aisle. The questions and comments for all politicians are rarely succinct. While the audience scribbled, Zhirinovsky's volunteers, mostly youth sporting plain white t-shirts with "LDPR" in block letters, roamed through the hall collecting more questions from the audience.
Leaning into the microphone, Zhirinovsky highlighted the "mountain of problems" that faced the Primorski Krai region. He began by describing the geopolitical situation in stark terms. Suggesting that Vladivostok was going the way of the Soviet Union and the region was "disappearing to China," Zhirinovsky promised that Vladivostok—under the LDPR—would return to its past glory. He spoke of a "boom in Vladivostok that would attract young people and provide for the pensioners," after decrying the region's dwindling population and the emigration of younger educated Russians to European Russia and abroad. With Asia's move to the center of the international system, Vladivostok would soon become a cosmopolitan center of politics, business and Russian power in East Asia. Echoing a headline in the party's newspaper handed out earlier that day, he urged the "equal protection for Russians everywhere" and launched a tirade on those who seek work in Russia without first speaking Russian.
Next Zhirinovsky struck down Russia's geopolitical competitors. He railed against America, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU) by stating that "the EU was far worse than the Soviet Union" and that "NATO was only a puppet of American interests." Bringing his disjointed speech back to Russia's domestic problems, Zhirinovsky mentioned pertinent issues: the economy and decentralizing political power in Russia. While Zhirinovsky's made clear his disgust at the widening wealth gap between the Russian elite and other Russians, he did not elucidate his plans to alleviate the country's economic problems. He also forgot to explain how exactly he, as President, would strengthen the political power of Russia's regional governments, an important matter to Russia's eastern regions. An hour of Zhirinovsky's brow wiping and political ballyhoo convinced me that the outward appearance of a Russian democratic political system—a system linking its citizens' demands to an action on behalf of the government—mattered far more than that system's efficacy.
A young LDPR supporter decked out in the party's garb now paraded the audience's questions, gathered earlier by LDPR volunteers, to Zhirinovsky. Looking like he was about to carve the Thanksgiving turkey for the hungry masses seated below him, the leader of LDPR began to read the questions aloud. (Note: I tallied every question answered by Zhirinovsky under the issue area that the question fit best. The table is below.) The questions covered a range of domestic issues, from healthcare, education and immigration to the armed forces, the low living standard and corruption. Possibly to allay his audience's suspicions that the questions he held were not just talking points his aides brainstormed, Zhirinovsky chuckled at a few questions and joked that poor penmanship prevented him from answering a few more; I remained dubious.
While the rambling speech preceding the question session was awkward, the question session itself showcased classic Zhirinovsky: a charismatic, engaging, and dynamic politician. He told his audience of older citizens not to despair of the turbulence of the 1990s by noting that Russia's first step into a free market economy was not a fair start. He noted that the West's idolization of capitalism had also caused severe problems that would take years to remedy. Zhirinovsky took advantage of the American government's announcement to cut its space programs—Russia stepped up its funding for space programs—as proof of Russia's power on the world stage.
In outlining the competition between Putin's United Russia and LDPR for the Russian Presidency, Zhirinovsky's rhetoric turned hostile. He described Putin's All-Russia Popular Front—a recent effort by Putin to combine political parties under one umbrella party—as "a lying political monopoly," and told the audience that "[the All-Russia Popular Front] cannot lie to [Russians] anymore." Russians "can't fall into the ditch of the Front: if you want to dream honestly then vote for the LDPR. If you're satisfied," Zhirinovsky said solemnly, "vote for the Front." The event ended with Zhirinovsky reminding the audience that LDPR was giving away small amounts of money for those families desperately in need. I walked out of the theatre with a bag of LDPR pamphlets but declined any money.
After Putin announced his candidacy for the Russian Presidency, my pages of notes on the LDPR meeting seemed worthless. But even if the LDPR remain a minority party, it would be a mistake to discount Zhirinovsky's role in Russia's political machine. However, the LDPR does not act to balance the United Russia party; Zhirinovsky playing the role of Russia's crazy nationalist uncle only benefits the status quo. By advocating for an ambiguous redrafting of the country's political and economic framework, Zhirinovsky alienates many citizens who believe 'change' and 'stability' to be mutually exclusive. After all, the idea that Putin's regime ended Russia's oligarchs' drive to take control of the Kremlin a decade ago, a move that enhanced the perception of stability but in reality did little to end oligarchies, is still widely held. The perceived risk associated with political pluralism reinforces United Russia's grip on politics by pitting Putin's marginally more stable Kremlin against a Kremlin helmed by an opposition candidate, a Zhirinovsky-type who campaigns on the elusive policies of 'change.' In Russia, it is clear that the illusion of democracy—as portrayed with campaign billboards, in crowds of youthful supporters and by politicians' grand designs—erodes any concrete steps toward a society committed to liberalism.

My previous article "What Is The Alimony Recapture Rule?" discussed the three-year alimony tax trap known as the recapture rule.
This rule forces the alimony payer to report as income the alimony payments he previously deducted, which means the payee spouse is entitled to reduce from income the alimony payments previously received.
So how do you avoid the recapture rule and the subsequent tax nightmare? Discuss these five tips with your attorney and your CPA:

Throughout the many years of my illness I have read memoirs written by people suffering with all types of mental illness. These stories of men and women who face similar — and sometimes not so similar — challenges helped me to feel that I was not as alone in my struggle. When I have spent long periods of time isolated, the books became my friends. The crack I heard when I opened the spine for the first time, inhaling the scent of freshly printed ink, feeling the grain of the paper between my fingers was a ritual that served to calm me.

"When sexy becomes annoying!"Girl in Gold Boots is a 1969 crime/drama film about the seedy underworld of Go-Go dancing, directed by Ted V. Mikels, who also directed The Astro-Zombies. It could easily be described as "the PG version of Showgirls (itself a variation of All About Eve)," with absolutely everything that implies.Michele, a young woman who works at a dead-end job at a diner in the middle of nowhere, meets an obviously untrustworthy man named Buz who tries to convince her to go with him to Los Angeles. He claims to have connections that can land her a job as a Go-Go dancer where his sister works. While Michele initially distrusts him, a spat with her abusive alcholic father leads her to take Buz up on his offer of a roadtrip. The two head to L.A., eventually picking up a hitchhiker named Critter, who also writes songs and plays on his guitar in his spare time. While Michele initially shows attraction to Buz, she rapidly develops feelings for Critter, causing friction between the violent Buz and the peaceful Critter. Once in Los Angeles, the trio arrive at a Go-Go club called the Haunted House where Buz's sister Joan is the leading act. Joan initially takes Michele in as a protege, while her beau/boss Leo brings Critter on as a janitor and Buz on as a drug dealer. After Michele begins to steal Joan's spotlight and becomes a greater and greater attraction, the glittery world of the Go-Go club takes its toll on the lead characters.Nearly half of the songs in this music-laden movie, including the title song, were written by singer-songwriter and sound engineer Chris Howard, who appears as himself and is backed by a band called "The Third World" in the credits (not to be confused with the famous reggae band Third World). One scene features bongo player Preston Epps, who had achieved some fame a decade earlier with his 1959 pop hit, "Bongo Rock." In fact, Epps is listed in the opening credits as "that Bongo Rock man." Another notable band member at the club in L.A. is Donald "Duck" Dunn, later of The Blues Brothers, on bass guitar.The Girl in Gold Boots was featured as a Season 10 episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Thanks to the more lenient approach of the network to the show's movie selections in the final season, it was one of the few Sci-Fi era episodes to not feature any elements of science fiction, fantasy, or horror.Apparent skips in the print used in the television program led to some amusing continuity problems, including a scene in a diner in which Buz suddenly appears in his seat next to Michele and Critter as if he teleports in during their conversation. One DVD release (from MMI Image Entertainment, using a print from Geneni Film Distributing Company), shows the scene without the "teleport" skip but has its own continuity breaks, suggesting two different prints from the original film were used.

There are a lot of ways to be a dad…
But there's an amazing difference
in those dads who choose
to follow God's lead.
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
and He delights in his way. Psalm 37:23 NKJV
"When I see you doing
what only a good man does,
it makes me want to bless you."
—Courageous The Movie
I want you to know how thankful I am
to have a dad like you.
Your guidance, encouragement, and love
have made such a difference in my life.
You stand out in this world,
because Jesus stands out in you.
With Love on Father's Day
