Politicians making a mockery of my faith
Politicians making a mockery of my faith
Politicians making a mockery of my faith
Call me a cradle-to-grave Catholic, but I am astonished, bewildered, flabbergasted, perplexed, even PO'd with some Catholic politicians making a mockery of my faith.
Former congressional Speaker of the House Democrat Nancy Pelosi (a Catholic supposedly) of far left liberal northern California, recently got the Margaret Sanger award from Planned Parenthood. Need I mention PP is an abortion mill? Need I mention Sanger, the infamous eugenist, has no moral qualms about abortions. Need I mention the Catholic Church is dead set "against" abortions?
Pelosi (while accepting the wolf in sheep's clothing award) said pro-lifers were dumb. That, of course, includes Catholics. Then she follows up with sending a rosary to be blessed by Pope Francis through Obama during his visit to the Vatican. No Nancy, Pope Francis is not a liberal as some liberal media tried to make him out to be on same-sex marriage -- and abortion.
Before going any further, let me say there are many Protestant denominations I greatly admire who are just as adamant about pro-life and traditional marriage as my chosen church. The evangelical movement is alive and well and playing a significant role in trying to put the brakes on an out-of-control secular culture. Evangelicals are working hard to restore Christianity in this country as we have known it since the American Revolution, while liberals (even Dem politicians) are working like crazy to do just the opposite.
The Nancy Pelosis of my church have got to go. Calling herself a Catholic is hypocrisy, and church leadership has got to do more about it.
Sad to say, there are a whole bunch of Catholic Pelosi clones in our government. There's Vice President Joe Biden, who had high praise for China's one-child-mass abortions policy. There's Secretary of State John Kerry, who supports abortion and would not support the Defense of Marriage Act no more than does Obama. Sens. Dick Durbin, Pat Leahy, Joe Biden and deceased Ted Kennedy were on the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2005 when Catholic John Roberts was up for nomination to the Supreme Court. And, would you believe those four CINOs (Catholics in name only) screamed and hollered not to accept Roberts for fear "Catholic" Roberts would overturn Roe vs. Wade that legalized abortion. Go figure.
Ironically, had the aforementioned group succeeded in nixing Robert's nomination, this country would be better off for it. Roberts became another liberal as he schemed to find an excuse to make Obamacare constitutional by calling it a tax. Obamacare, thanks to Roberts, takes away the religious rights of those not wanting to pay for birth control, or worst of all abortions. The 70-some lawsuits against Obamacare being unconstitutional on religious grounds could have been avoided had Roberts voted with his conservative colleagues instead of the liberals, which included another CINO on the court by the name of Sotomayor.
All Christian pro-lifers and traditional marriage advocates should be up in arms about all the liberal politicians standing this country on its head culturally. If killing the unborn, and marriage of any kind imaginable, isn't destroying our culture, I don't know what is. Need I say which political party is destroying our great culture of the past -- and sadly it's with the help of too many that claim to be Catholic.
I would be remiss not to mention CINO Sebelius, former governor of Kansas and former friend of late-term abortionist George Killer Tiller. Our retired U.S. Secretary of Health and Inhuman Services Sebelius, with the help of Barack Obama, has decimated the First Amendment of our Constitution. Why in the world would a person claiming to be Catholic force other Catholics (or other religious groups) to support birth control -- and abortions -- through Obamacare?
What can our government of today give us that possibly could be more important than life and family? Three million babies a year lose their lives and never will experience family.

City Hiring Bus Drivers and Mechanics
Monday, February 3, 2014
(Detroit, MI) -- Just two weeks after Mayor Mike Duggan hired Dan Dirks as the city's new chief of transportation, that department is taking steps to improve bus service in Detroit. Detroit Department of Transportation bus service has been much maligned over the past few years for not having enough drivers, or working buses. So it was announced late Friday that the city will be hiring both mechanics and bus drivers. Those interested in these positions can go to the city's website to apply.

"Blue Clutch"
Samantha Hahn is a NY-based illustrator who combines digital illustration with photography, ink and watercolour to produce the most feminine eye candy going. Despite these featured pieces being promotional work for a line of handbags and jewellery, they work beautifully as stand-alone artwork, especially on particularly girlie days. Who would have guessed that a blue clutch could work as an outdoor still life? Or that real jewellery could turn into candy? All we know is that we better start searching birds' nests for earrings. Or, if all birds' nests looked like Hahn's, we'd go for the nest over the earrings.

I read all of the answers to why my compressor on my cental A/C unit would not start but you may have forgot an important one. Be sure and check the big yellow or main power wire over to and connected to the compressor. If it is corroded or burned and has arched and the brass spade connector is disconnected or melted you will have no power to the compressor. Cut wire back to the good part, put new spade connector on and reattach same to the compressor and A/C should now work and blow cold air. I had an honest A/C man find my problem yesterday and he fixed it, checked everything out and only charged me $50.00. I was so happy to find an HONEST A/C man I gave him a $75.00 Tip. He was there over an hour! |

Help, My central A/C Luxair unit for which the motor was replaced about 2 years ago 3/4 hp (i think), makes a loud sound and the handy man that came to look at it said the motor is shot because the bearings are shot! Is there a quick fix for it or an interim fix. He said he would charge $350 to fix it. Thanks Sari, asap in Palm Springs area!... its hot! |
- Posted by davidandkasie (My Page) on Mon, Apr 24, 06 at 12:50
for the bearings to have gone so quickly, the motor must not have been installed and oiled properly. no one can tell you for sure without physically being there and checking it. call a HVAC repair center and have them send someone to check it. BTW, start a new thread, not bring back one that is almost a year old on a whole different subject. |

World 19 News and Update!
December 14, 2009 in World 019 News
Greetings w19ers! It's getting close to the end of the year, and fun things like holiday time with the family and attack breaks are coming up around the corner! Things have been a little bit on the quiet side in the w19 community, but we should have a nice update for this week. On with it then.
Blog Banner Contest Winner Announced!
In spite of my begging, only one of you lazy louts have submitted a blog banner. So our dear Mark-CFC wins the prize (see his banner featured above)! Boo on you w19 for not giving Mark any healthy competition!
Maps (Sorry kids I'm going to do Power Rankings every other week):
This Week's Interview
This week we have an interview with Graand, diplomat of ORIGIN, the recently formed tribe in the NW area of w19.
Q: Hi Graand. Coming from the eastern half of w19, I have to admit I don't really know who you are. So introduce yourself to everyone =)
A: Well, my name is Graham, I am 42, married with teenage children and live in Australia, I love all strategic based games (whether it be online or not) and I have been playing this game for around 2.5 years now starting in W5 and have played most worlds.
Q: Have you played or are you playing any other worlds? How would you compare them to w19?
A: W19 is my main world as I gave up most of the others as my online times reduced and I did join w42 but am thinking of leaving, as I only play there because of some friends from W11 and 14 are in the same tribe. W19 is clearly my dominant World ever and will continue to be until I am rimmed and once that happens…I will start again, lol.
Q: How did you get into a leadership role in your tribe?
A: I have been everything in a tribe from S***kicker to Duke and once I display the skills I have gathered over my time here, it is clear I know what I'm doing regarding tribe structure and day to day runnings.
Q: Tell us the scoop on Origins…why have you and the other members of Origins split from OFA/AFO?
A: Well sadly enough our true leader returned to claim his rightful place in the tribe (OFA) and there were a few there that didn't want it that way….so ORIGIN was formed, which is actually (mostly) the Original members that helped form OFA.
Q: Did you leave on friendly terms?
A: Some have asked "why" but most understand the change and we are still talking to this day. People realize it is just a game and that individual choice should be made without ill feelings, resentment or persecution.
Q: With this split, the map in the NW quadrant of the world looks a bit messy. What are your thoughts on this?
A: LOL, sorry but it was reasonably messy anyway, just all a nice shade of blue/light blue, funny thing about this game is activity….telling who is actually still playing the game and who is not, depends on the way an account is sat (sorry for the off topic).
Q: Are you retaining OFA relations with ARSE, or are you separating Origins diplomatically as well?
A: One thing I would like to say is, ORIGIN will NOT have any family "connections", we aim to be a tribe of 40 actives and feel we will be so soon, any diplomacy with this "new" tribe will be strictly of our choosing. Any allies (or enemies) of OFA – AFO, will not necessarily be ours.
Q: Was the formation of Origins a planned move or a more spur-of-the-moment decision?
A: Definitely a spur of the moment thing, as we hoped for a calm solution to our internal problems, but alas….didn't come.
Q: What is your favorite aspect of TW? Least favorite?
A: Favorite aspect: is definitely the people I have met (and get to meet) as without them, it would just be a ps3 game and (of course) I love the strategic side of the game.
Least fav: is the childish behavior some people have towards others, because they didn't get their own way, or had a bad day at school/work etc… solution: don't come online and give someone S*** ring your ex and give them grief instead, or your boss, even the prime minister?
Q: Any other comments in general?
A: I would love to see this game go "to the next level" and get some serious "fighting" animation going, would enhance the game incredibly if you could see your troops fighting rather than waiting for the time to count down (to an attack) and then open a report? I would also like to say thank you for you allowing me to express myself to the TW community.
Question of the Week
Last week's question: What is your worst noobish screwup?
Featured Answer:
"I was once asked to sit an account on some long forgotten world, when a friend who had started late was nobling his first village on the rim. He had 3 nobles and he'd already lowered the loyalty of the village enough that the 3 would take it on the next run, but he couldn't be online to send them. Now, he asked me to do it, which I was happy to do, and to time his nuke in front of it as he thought the guy was gonna get support from his tribe.When the time came, I sent the nobles out, and then waiting the 30 mins or so to send the nuke. I was a bit worried as my connection is dodgy at the best of times and there was a chance I'd lag out completely when sending the nuke, but to my great delight the nuke slotted itself within 50ms of the first noble, making the whole thing about 300ms long. It was at this stage that I noticed my horrible horrible mistake.The entire noble train may have been 300ms long, it may have been effectively unsnipable from a newb-on-the-rim point of view, but I was never going to take the village, as I had managed to send the noble train not as an unstoppable attack, but as support."
Ouch. Nice noobiness =)
This Week's Question: What is your favorite unit and why?
PLEASE send me some answers people!!
We have a new contest in the w19 community: Christmas Pics! Go make something pretty!
And on a final note, let's all show Mr. Pam Nam, Drattuts himself a little love…he's gone over a week on PnP without being banned! =o

Washington vs. Oregon: Who's more uptight?
Legal pot, same-sex marriage, creativity, artistic excellence. It's all part of being Left Coasters, "loose" in the way we view life, government and politics. So say two University of Maryland psychologists in a paper titled, "Tightness-looseness across the 50 united states", and published by the National Academy of Sciences. (You can find it here.)
Things like naked bicycle parades, hempfests, gay mayors and micro-brewery entrepreneurs also figure into defining who's loose and who's stuck in a tightness mire of conformity and distrust. By the way, Washington is (very slightly) tighter than Oregon, which is tighter than California. (Though Jerry Brown is still the man!)
Using a lot of very solid numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau and other federal agencies, as well as peer-reviewed publications of fellow scholars, study authors Jesse R. Harrington and Michele J. Gelfand characterize the Left Coast and Northeast as "loose", and the old Confederacy and its border states as "tight". They find Utah, with its huge Mormon base, "looser" than states like Ohio and Pennsylvania; and the Dakotas more "loose" than the Carolinas. Mother Nature, say the authors, factors into these distinctions.
According to Harrington and Gelfand, "Tight states experience greater ecological vulnerabilities than loose states" — as in a propensity for floods, tornadoes and disease. These nasty conditions produce a population that is conscientious, cautious, controlled, focused on prevention and extremely fond of order. Contrast that, say the authors, with looser, less disaster-prone states that can afford less constrained behavior and greater flexibility in private and public life.
The Civil War is 150 years in the past, but the authors suggest that former slave states, threatened by the loss of their "way of life," are still "tight" when it comes to law enforcement, military enlistments and dependence on military bases. Washington has a larger military presence than Oregon and California, proportionally; a reason, perhaps, that it is slightly tighter than those other Left Coast states. Tight states enjoy greater social stability and lower rates of drug and alcohol use. But they also exhibit more gender inequality, greater rates of incarceration and less innovation and creativity.
Studies of "tight vs. loose" are not new, but they focused primarily at the nation level. The United States is really, as the study's title suggests, a bunch of (sometimes) united states. The authors quantify the differences, and they are stark. Mississippi, the tightest state, gets a 78.86 score on the "tightness chart." California, at the opposite end of the scale, earns a 27.37. (Washington is 31.06; Oregon 30.07).
Oh yes, I thought you would never ask — tightness scores do correlate to how we vote. The 15 "loosest states" all voted for President Obama in 2012 — except for Alaska. All but one (Virginia) of the 15 "tightest states" went for Mitt Romney.
There you go.

It's a long read, but Albion's Seed by David Hackett Fischer can give a lot of insight about regional attitudes in the US.
Posted Mon, Jun 2, 10:20 a.m.
The study seems to have some merit. It would be interesting to know the assumptions, data collection techniques, and analysis methodology.
I do know of one incredibly "tight" subject in the greater Seattle area. If someone is talking about gun safety, there is no need to wait for a thoughtful reaction if you invite that person to learn it first hand with a firearm in hand.
Posted Mon, Jun 2, 10:37 a.m.
The hyperlink in my story sends you to supplemental information; for those wanting the full text of the piece the proper link is:
The authors didn't look at gun safety, maybe too obvious for them or perhaps the data was not sufficient.
riverworld, I think you will find the research methods, etc. either in the full text or the supplements.
Posted Tue, Jun 3, 2:17 p.m.
I'm having a hard time making this "tight" versus "loose" classification system explain why "...former slave states, threatened by the loss of their 'way of life,' are still 'tight' when it comes to law enforcement..." yet "loose" states like those on the "left coast" accept an almost crippling level of regulation and taxation. I'd love to find out how the authors square that with their theory.
Posted Wed, Jun 4, 8:10 p.m.
What are the demographics? The more young, the looser, the more old, the tighter, it seems to me.
Of course, California doesn't have a "tight" eastern side like Oregon and Washington.

Known for | Starting Duncan Yo-Yos |
Donald F. Duncan, Sr. (June 6, 1892 - May 15, 1971) was an American entrepreneur and inventor who is most commonly associated with yo-yos; the commercial success they enjoyed during the 20th century in the United States, and subsequently throughout the world, was due largely to his marketing efforts.
Donald Duncan was the founder of Duncan yo-yos and is often miscredited with invention of the yo-yo (see History of the yo-yo for its origins). He did not invent the yo-yo, nor did Duncan ever hold a patent on the toy, although the name Yo-yo was a trademark of his company until 1965. Claims that Duncan developed the string loop that makes a yo-yo sleep are also false as this was developed by Pedro Flores prior to the creation of the Duncan Yo-yo Company.
In spite of these appropriations, Duncan's marketing tactics are responsible for the widespread popularity of the yo-yo which began in the 1930s. He hired and managed a team of yo-yo demonstrators (most of whom were Filipino immigrants) and toured them at corner stores across the country, regularly holding local yo-yo contests as well as teaching tricks.
In 1965, during an intellectual property case, a federal court of appeals ruled in favor of the Royal Tops Company, asserting that the term Yo-yo, had become a part of common speech. This ruling is now widely considered a miscarriage of justice, and if considered as a valid precedent, would imperil similarly successful trademarks, such as BAND-AID, Q-tips and Kleenex.
Among the other companies he founded are the Good Humor frozen treats franchise and a parking meter company which dominates that industry to this day. Most notable among Duncan's invention credits is the concept of the premium incentive marketing tactic wherein one collects proofs of purchase (i.e. boxtops or UPC barcodes) and redeems them for rewards, such as small toys or discount coupons. Donald's wife died in a car crash just like him.
Duncan's birthday, June 6th, has been immortalized in the United States as National Yo-Yo Day.

Why oh why???? I totally agree with a previous poster who reviewed this as pears and B.O.
Which is really so very sad. Because without that awful b.o. background, it would be the first fruity fragrance that I could see myself wearing and loving! The fruits are just so light and airy, almost ethereal! Which is strange to me! I am so used to heavy, headache inducing sugary fruity fragrances!
Most end up smelling like another BBW or VS scent to me.
This one was different! I LOVED the fruit in this! If only it was alone and without whatever scary note some AG fragrances seem to have!
I actually detected this odd B.O. note in Songes and that Ce Soir Jamis one. Which is terrible, because I adore both of those otherwise! Thankfully my Quel Amour did not have this note. What on earth IS it?
I could never wear these fragrances because of it!
So sad.......

To me, this smells like pears dripping in pear syrup. It was way to sweet for me, and I had to take it back. If you can deal with the sweetness it seems like it would be an uplifting fragrance.
Pears and body odor. The only reason I rated it a 2 and not a 1 was b/c the pear note was lovely (when I could smell it underneath the b.o., that is).
I really really love this scent. There's only a few fragrances that smell that great on my skin. Unfortunately it does not have lasting power-but almost all fragrances have no lasting power on me so I'm not surprised.
This is such a pretty fragrance! It opens up very peach/pear like on me. The sales associate told me it has pear in it though I thought I read on here that it is peach. Anyway, it smells very fresh and fruity. Then it stays just sweet and floral. Now after wearing it for about 5-6 hours, it has started to smell more vanilla like on me combined with the floral. I am having no problem with it fading too quickly. I quite like it and hope to own a full bottle soon.

Very beautiful scent; a combo of apple and pear. It actually smells like an expensive version of Victoria Secret Secret Crush to me. The main problem is that it has absolutely no staying power on me!
This is the best of the Goutal line. Very fleeting, though. It is light, fresh pear scent. Wonderful for a casual date or daytime summer wear. Lasts about 1 hour before it begins to fade...the EDT and EDP are identical both in wear and scent. Not just for the very young....smells great on women over 40 as well!

So torn about Annick Goutal's Petite Cherie, a soft, breezy pear without foody, cloying sweetness. Unfortunately, it dries down into an unrecognizable, plain floral on my skin. I love the freshness, but the poor lasting power hardly justifies the price.
This really didn't work for me, it had great lasting power which would have been good if I hadn't smelled like over ripe pears poached in alcohol with an undertone of burn't caramel.
Its amazing how much difference body chemistry makes to the way this fragrances smell, this one is not for me!
This takes my breath away. What can I say? It smells like elation, an irrational irresistability. It smells like spring for painters and poets, yet it's so girly and ecstatic that it remains fresh and very youthful. Though this shimmering fruity-floral does not contain pear, it smells a bit like it does. The balance of flowers and freshness and fruits is precicely gorgeous from first sharp bite to the last soft wave of drydown. For me this fragrance represents a sort of mania and freedom, in a pure spray of light yet intoxicating charm. Annick Goutal's website has a description that I find very good..."woman-child" is exactly how I think of it too...Cons: the bottle is something of a shrinking violet, and the natural ingredients mean you have to use it in 6 months before it turns...but that will just make you spritz it all the more, and would that we all did!

S-Adenosyl Methionine
Highest Concentration of Active S,S Form
Jarrow Formulas® pharmaceutical grade, stabilized SAM-e 400 provides a full 400mg SAM-e (net yield). SAM-e is manufactured under low temperature and low humidity and is enteric-coated to ensure a biologically active product.
Contains More of the Active S,S Form
Found in all living cells, SAM-e is a metabolite of methionine (an essential amino acid). SAM-e is a chiral molecule and consists of two forms: (S,S) SAM-e and (R,S) SAM-e. The biologically active form is the (S,S) structure, while the (R,S) structure is biologically inactive. Jarrow Formulas SAM-e is made naturally by microbiological fermentation and then specially processed without solvents to preserve 68-80% (S,S) SAM-e, the highest active level available.
SAM-e has been clinically shown to have the following benefits:*
Joint Strength: SAM-e supports the production of healthy connective tissue through transulfuration. In this process, critical components of connective tissue, including glucosamine and the chondroitin sulfates, are sulfated by SAM-e metabolites*
Brain Metabolism: SAM-e methylation reactions are involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as L-DOPA, dopamine and related hormones, serotonin, epinephrine and phosphatidylcholine (a component of lecithin).*
Longevity: Methylation of DNA appears to be important in the suppression of errors in DNA replication. Demethylation of DNA is considered a contributor to the aging process.* Proper methylation through substances such as SAM-e positively influences longevity.*
Liver: SAM-e metabolism supports the synthesis of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione-dependent enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase), which are substances important for liver function.*

Illuminati Elements In Linkin Park Clip Video (Iridescent)
13 Comments
wow, i haven't watch the video nor listen to their song. gotta watch it then. nowadays, almost every video and song got this element of illuminati. somehow for the video, we cannot blame the singer 'cos they are directed by the director to do such how in the video. and somehow for the song, we should just think positive 'cos they might even have no intention to include the element. but different from those singers who, yes, follow the illuminati. in my thoughts, i guess i'm interested to this illuminati not because of i'm worshiping the Satan but it's because of it is art :D
P/S: Sorry long comment. it's just my opinion though. you don't have to be agree with me. hee
;) Yeah! It looks nice right? This clip was so cool because i can see Chester and Mike there! But, the director, the idiot one ruin it! I think this clip will also look nice without any Illuminati element.. :((
ReplyHmmps. Sebenarnya ni bukan salah director semata-mata, LP sudah jadi ejen illuminati, sama ada diorang sedar atau tidak.
Ndamau lah cakap panjang, bijaklah di dalam memilih hiburan. Kadang nasyid pun banyak silapnya, so better dengar alunan ayat-ayat Al-Quran. Pesanan buat diri sendiri. Semoga istiqomah saudaraku...:)
so sad to hear the fact, i think without become an illuminati artist they still the best band hiks..... ;(
Replyah.. semoga saja cuma editornya yg gila.. :@
q ngefans bnget sm LP :((
jangan buat penggemar kecewea... :((
Dude, have you even watched the movie? They basically related it to the concept of their music video. The blinded people represents the Decepticons - a group of rebellious robots in Transformers. From the name itself "Decepticons" - it means deception. They are blinded by their leaders: Megatron and those before him. I think Mike is representing Jesus instead of Lucifer. If you are reading the Bible, God sent his only son to be one of us, humans. Basically, as humans, we are blinded because we make sinful acts. Meaning our decisions are not profound. Jesus on the other hand has the knowledge of God - That's why Mike's other eye is not blinded. Jesus is half blinded though because he has become a human when coming down from Heaven. The snakes on the table symbolizes those who betrayed or doubted Jesus. That actually is what the song is about. Some people, when lost in desperation, will betray or lose faith, but there's this line in the chorus saying: "Let it go". Meaning, we have to let go of all our doubts and bad intention so we can go back to God and be worthy to serve him.
That is the message of the song. Before you judge Linkin Park, look at every possibility. Do not just look at the cover of a book, because that won't tell you what it contains. Read the whole book and open your mind. I think that those who believe that LP are members of illuminati (If there such thing), are like the blind people in the video.

Matt Cutts gives us Google's official position on SEO (search engine optimisation).
We came across this post on Search Engine Journal answering with a video to the question "does Google consider SEO to be spam"?
For sure we would love to know the opinion of Google on our profession, so we jumped on the link. Here is the video.
If video does not display correctly, please click here : YouTube |
Main points to be highlighted from this video:
Matt Cutts says SEO is beneficial to search engines because it actually helps them find the right pages and the best results for a query.
He of course is referring to white hat SEO and specifically, to on-page SEO practices that will provide a better experience for a user of a website (speed, ergonomic site navigation, keyword optimisation to improve understanding of a topic, etc.).
He doesn't actually talk much about off-page optimisation and goes straight to the topic of black-hat SEO, the extreme opposite of white-hat by citing the usual examples of keyword stuffing, cloaking, etc.
So, in the end, we feel it is a mild set of statements but still, it goes to show the importance for any person seeking SEO services to be explained by their SEO expert, what techniques are being implemented and for what purposes.
Transparency is a must when you seek a professional search engine optimisation services firm.

Junior's Room
November 19, 2013 - Author: Amy - 32 CommentsI'm kind of slowly sort of coming up with a comprehensive plan for Junior's room.
Oh – because we bought a paint sprayer! I went to the grocery store and got home and D had the office totally painted. It. was. awesome.
Sidenote: At the grocery store I got fixins for delicious tacos. And I put the shells in the toaster oven to make them warm and crispy, then turned around to ask D if he wanted onions, and then the shells caught on fire. And D had to save the day.
Then later, when Junior was taking his bath, he put his little hands on his hips and goes:
"I have a question for you."
Me: What is your question?
Him: I a police man.
Me: Hello, officer.
Him: You in trouble.
Me: For what?!
Him: You start a fire!
Back to his room. I'm going with a manly man's theme and it's got a bit of a cabin-y feel to it, so I made some animal silhouettes.
Just find a free printable. They're everywhere. (I got mine here, here, here, and here.)
Cut it out and trace with a Sharpie.
Fill in with black acrylic paint.
Then make several more because they are just so darn cute!
I got the set of cork boards at Walmart for like $5, and they have sticky strips on the back for hanging.
Now all that's left to do is wait for Mr. Husband to paint Junior's room so I can hang these babies up!

I've tried two windmill palms now and lost them both to spear rot. I drive around Vancouver and see some that are taller then some homes. It makes my mouth water. I'm 20 min north of Vancouver at an elevation of around 500 ft. Do I need to make tents for them to keep the rain from rotting out the center till they get bigger? We sometimes get a cold east wind in the winter. More mulch around the base? Is it something I have to worry about when they get taller? Any words of wisdom? Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you're sure it's a condition called spear rot than maybe there is actually information available online or elsewhere about how to deal with that specifically - maybe the same source where you got that term, or (if web pages) maybe a linked page. |
Hi, I had the same problem before but not sure whether it was the same reason as yours. Mine was because the earwicks and other bugs were nesting in the spear (space around it) causing it to rot. I lost two palms before I found this out. What I did and worked for me was to spray the spear with an insecticide, after that it took several months before the plant recovered. Now it's growing beautifully. |
No I guess I don't know for sure if it was spear rot. The spear turned brown and came out without any effort. I do know there were earwicks in there so maybe that was the problem. |
A lost spear is almost certainly the result of frost damage in winter. Bugs don't cause things to rot; they are just looking for a place to hide and may be drawm to the smell and moist environment of something rotting. Large, established plants usually don't have this problem because they are acclimatized enough to know when to slow down and harden off for winter (yes, hardier palms do this in their own way to some degree). Smaller and newly planted plants are less well acclimatized and may tend to continue growing into the winter leaving them more vulnerable to frost damage. This can be further aggravated by the practice of fertilizing them in the late summer and fall, which is tempting to do but leads to a lot of new growth that is susceptible to damage. Established large palms usually aren't cared for that way. Anyways a rotted spear doesn't necessarily mean a dead palm. If there is any chance of damage you can give it a light tug in the spring and see if it pulls out readily. It is best to detect the rot as early as possible in the life of the palm. Then you can spray copper fungicide into the center of the crown and a new growing spear will soon emerge. A new growing spear may emerge if you don't do anything but the copper fungicide application almost seems to work like magic on most hardy and marginally hardy palms. |
Is there a hardier palm for SW Wash other then a windmill palm? I'll try to figure a way to protect them in the winter for a few seasons till they get bigger. |
Windmill palm is the proven hardy one here. It even reseeds in some plantings. Other kinds of palms are experimental. Individual specimens becoming hardier with age wouldn't be an example of them acclimating - plants don't do that. The climate parameters of the plant are fixed. The site has to suit the plant or it doesn't thrive. The plant does not change to match the site. Probably like many other plants windmill palms become more hardy with age, regardless of where they are planted. |
I may have chosen the wrong word but I was referring to the ability of the plant to know when to start and stop growing as it figures out the local seasons over a period of a couple years. |
The plant doesn't figure out anything. Timing of growth is regulated by the environment. No difference between the first year and the third except for variations in weather. Day length, temperature...if the plant is prompted to grow or shut down by the occurrence of whatever regulates the growth of that species, it will start or stop growing - regardless of how long the plant has been on the site (except for any changes within the plant resulting from maturity, like those that don't make as much vegetative growth each year when they begin flowering and fruiting). That is how you can force plants to do things at the wrong time by manipulating their environments. |
Plants are very intelligent beings. I'm sure they know far more than we do. In fact they even have their own names for themselves. |
I'll have to start asking them what those are. |
LOL I think it would more interesting to know what they call us. |

I have a windmill palm. Very wet yard. It's doing very well. Lots of bugs too but the birds eat a lot of them. Noticed lots of earwigs -- do birds eat earwigs? There's a large birdbath right by the palm. If birds find earwigs delicious I don't have too much to worry about. |
(as far as google tells me) plants DO have internal clocks. the timing of these clocks with external events affect survival. so its possible that your particular windmill palms are just "off" the local envirnoment. the ones that are surviving have better timing. |

Wow, I've never heard the term "earwicks"! Now it's twice in one thread. I agree that earwigs will not cause a plant crown to rot. They would "nest" in there if there is an accumulation of organic matter such as fallen needles, blown leaves, etc. but its not the earwigs that are the potential cause of the problem. The organic matter in the crown which holds moisture could potentially lead to rot, and that could be a problem, although the plant's hardiness may be the main issue as others have noted. BTW, To say that timing of growth is regulated by the environment, as if a plant's genetics and changing response to the environment in non-existent is wrong in its oversimplicity. Plant growth is always an interaction between the plant's nature (it's genetics) and the environment (weather, soil, water, etc.) I think we all know this but play semantics - and that just ain't helpful. |
Here's an article stating that plants do in fact have an "internal clock". |
Here is a link that might be useful: an article stating that plants do in fact have an
Windmill palms got beat up in Stanwood-Camano this year. I had two ~one gallon size ones go all brown, probably dead on Camano. One more of a five gallon size came through okay except the growing point burned; not sure it has gotten over that yet. This week I was told it got down to 5 degrees F. last winter in Stanwood. So that's why the sheared Laurustinus hedges in town turned all brown! Then I saw the sign on the windmill palms at the Shoreline CostCo said "hardy to 10 degrees" or "10F". |

Yeah it was a nasty one this winter for the Windmills, I lost one of my three-footers, even though it was established for over a year. Marysville got down to 7deg, but it wasn't just the one low temp, it was extended periods really low, combined with our usual nasty cold & wet January. Same with phormiums, I see tons of dead ones this spring in the outlying (z 8a) areas where they usually do fine. - Tom |
Actually, it only takes a few hours below a plant's minimum to damage it. Lingering cold becomes significant when it results in deep penetration of the soil and freezing of the roots. That's why plants from southerly regions (such as various palms) with minimum temperatures low enough for them to seem possible here don't persist. Lots of plants will tolerate a couple cold nights followed by substantial warming immediately after. That and the fact that many locations here, even some on/near salt water get colder than may be expected. The Montlake weather station near the UW has gotten to 10F in the past, Sea-Tac airport to 0F. Of course, this kind of does cold not happen very often - resulting in announcements that various tender plants are hardy. Hardy until it gets down to 10F, 7F, 5F or 0F again. Last time it was similarly cold was in 1990. |
I'm one of the Vancouver folks with a large palm. I have another, smaller one that was small when I planted it in 1994; it is the only survivor of five like it. I think it needs to be transplanted, as it now gets very little sun and is growing slowly. The large one was field-grown and bought from a plant store in the summer of 1995. I wrapped it in burlap during cold spells for its first two winters and left it alone afterwards. It took four years for it to reestablish its root system, after which it began to look like a palm again. Its leaves began to yellow while I was away working in the States, but upon my return I took to feeding it two or three times a year with triple-20 solution and it now it thrives. The tops of the fronds are now almost as high as the one-story house it is planted in front of. Keeping the plant healthy via maintenance of micronutrients seems to be important, and that's easy enough with modern triple-20 products. I swear by a local product called Plant-Prod. |
If you keep putting on the 20-20-20 including that 20 of phosphorus you will probably generate a phosphorus toxicity at some point. |

I've never wanted to rub my cock on a washboard as much as I do right now.
She's gorgeous and has a fantastic sense of humor. I have never seen a movie that she wasn't great in . . . so, ya know, fish, blow me. LOL
OMG OMG!!!! Quick retraction!!! I was thinking Kate BECKINSALE. Fuck. So, sorry fish, can't blow me after all. (I'm a chick anyway.)

I dont give a shit if her eyes are friggin rainbow colours, anyone who finds that stick hot needs help. As for leopard lady… she has some SERIOUS hip work happning there!!
I don't think people's heads should be bigger than their bodies.
That's all.
This chick is ultra fit and very hot. And if you don't admit it your either jealous or gay (or maybe both).
Kate should have just gone topless. Then this story would be "Pics of some 12 year old boy that resembles Kate Bosworth"
This girl looks good, its only the old ugly bastards that complain about young beautiful women….
Two words: Not Hot.
Why is that young German boy wearing a bikini?
Good question #91. And people wonder why I'm a pedo.

The final evaluation report for WhyDev's Peer Coaching Pilot Program has been published and is publicly available. You can download and read the report here.
A snapshot of the Pilot Program and results:
- 312 aid workers from around the world participated and were matched with a peer coach.
- The average peer coach is a female expat aid worker, aged 26-35 years-old, has a postgraduate Masters degree and less than 5 years of work experience in international development.
- 73 participants responded to the evaluation survey.
- Overall, 43% of respondents were satisfied with the pilot program and 28% indicated that they were unsatisfied.
- When asked what the ONE significant thing they got out of the peer coaching sessions, respondents indicated a range of benefits from validation, reflexive practice and clarification to having a 'new colleague', expectation management and feeling less stressed and isolated.
June 14, 2013
Brendan Rigby was invited to be on the Guardian's Development Professional Network panel to discuss getting ahead in a development career. You can find a summary of the panelists' thoughts here, and below are Brendan's main reflections:
"Expect a volatile career trajectory: Speaking for the next generation of aid and development workers, I think this will be something we have to come to terms with. There are very few linear career paths in aid and development, particularly in such a fast-changing global economy. We have to hustle, fight and keep searching for those opportunities. This is going to put increasing pressure on us when we settle down, marry, start a family, and so on. How are our partners and families going to fit into this volatile career path? It is a tough one that even I am dealing with, as my partner works in Beijing with an international development agency and we've had to spend a lot of time apart as I pursue opportunities elsewhere.
Don't dismiss internships: I think internships are a necessary evil, and a rite of passage that many must go through. It is a good way to get experience with an organisation that you want to work for in the future. And, sometimes, paid work may come from your performance if funding permits.
Avoid getting stuck in admin roles: I always advise people to get technical. That is, get a technical expertise – education, economics, health, law, finance, and so on. Become that expert. Do your time outside of the aid world, in the public and private sectors. That experience will count for much. Then, try to move into the sector you want to work in, even if the role is not the one you want. It's important to build that sector expertise and experience as that is what recruiters I think are looking for generally. And, just network like crazy! You never know where opportunities will come from. You may have to apply for more than 50 jobs, but it will come.
Peer relationship can be just as valuable as mentorships (often difficult to arrange). WhyDev has developed a peer-to-peer coaching programme to level the playing field and take a different approach to mentoring."

Weh Yeoh and WhyDev's peer coaching initiative were recently featured in the Phnom Penh Post.
Every one has bad days in the office, but when you're based hundreds of miles from the nearest big town and thousands of miles from friends and family, how do you share your troubles and let off steam?
The creators of whydev, an internet resource for aid and development staff, believe their new online peer coaching initiative will help tackle high burn-out rates among workers based abroad – staff who are often faced with the challenges of remote locations, high-stress situations and unfamiliar cultures.
Weh Yeoh, the co-founder of whydev, says he first realised the potential of peer coaching when he was working in a remote part of China last year.
"It was very isolating, and I was frustrated that I had no one to bounce my ideas off," he says.
"I made my own network when I set up the whydev website as a discussion forum, and now the idea is to create a short cut for other people who are in my situation.
"We want to do the hard work for them by putting them in touch with people who can relate to what they're going through."

Absurd Person Singular. The Denver Center Theatre Company should be applauded for selecting Absurd Person Singular, Alan Ayckbourn's dark comedy, as one of its Christmas offerings. Ayckbourn's trademark is intensely clever, laugh-out-loud farce capering over the surface of a sad and penetrating cynicism, and it's the perfect antidote to the wash of theatrical sentimentality we always encounter this season. This is the story of three couples and three consecutive Christmas cocktail parties, held between 1972 and 1974. Always keen to set himself technical challenges, Ayckbourn has situated the action not in the living rooms where the parties should be taking place, but in the three kitchens. The first belongs to Sidney and Jane Hopcroft, who is so obsessed with cleaning that she's incapable of thinking about her guests. Sidney is a small-time tradesman with ambitions to climb in the world, and he's invited the people he feels will be useful to him: banker Ronald Brewster-Wright and his snobbish and terminally bored wife, Marion, and bohemian architect Geoffrey, whose spouse is hyper-neurotic Eva. Jane eventually locks herself out in the rain; Ronald hints that his bank may be willing to finance Sidney, and Geoffrey makes it clear that the architectural projects he takes on are far more important and creative than the grubby little shopping center Sidney is contemplating. But how the mighty fall! In slow motion and through two more acts. By the end, Sidney is in the ascendant; he's literally calling the tune to which the others must dance. The insanely farcical moments play best in this production, because that's where director Sabin Epstein appears to have put his attention. But there's really no point in picking a terrific play like this if you can't come up with a clear and precise comic vision for it.

Fully Committed. In the bowels of one of the hautest of New York's haute cuisine restaurants, would-be actor Sam mans the phones. All may be elegance, soft-spoken service, expensive food and flattering lighting above, but here in the basement there's grubbiness and clutter, drab green walls and constantly ringing phones. This is the kind of restaurant where Diane Sawyer jostles renowned architect Philip Johnson for a table, supermodel Naomi Campbell demands a vegan meal for herself and her entourage, the Zagats drop by for a bite. The phones ring and ring. Sam calms angry clients, soothes bullies, juggles reservations, considers bribes, rapidly dispatches the out-of-town yokels who don't realize reservations must be made months in advance, and deals with loving calls from his own father, who wants to know if he can come home for Christmas. One actor — Steven Burge — plays every character, a feat that requires an excellent memory and split-second timing as well as presence and versatility. Fortunately, Burge has all of these. Fully Committed not only allows the little guy a victory over the powerful, but it's a pitch-perfect evocation of the New York scene and the peculiar and specific neuroses of its wealthy restaurant clientele. It's also clever, light and warm-hearted — all in all, a very satisfying evening. Presented by the Aurora Fox through December 20, 9900 East Colfax Avenue, Aurora, 303-739-1970, www.aurorafox.org. Reviewed November 19.
Girls Only. The trouble with Girls Only, a two-woman evening of conversation, skits, singing, improvisation and audience participation, is that it's so relentlessly nice. Creator-performers Barbara Gehring and Linda Klein have worked together for many years; at some point, they read their early diaries to each other and were transfixed by the similarities and differences they found in them, as well as the insights they gained into their own psyches and the travails of puberty. This theater piece was developed from that material — but not all of that material. "I purposely don't read every diary entry in the show, because it turns out I was kind of mean, and I don't want to be mean," Klein told an interviewer. But mean is funny, and when you cut it out entirely, what do you have to joke about? Girly pink bedrooms, purses, bras, skinny models in glossy magazines. Every time they tell a story with the tiniest bite to it, Gehring and Klein — both talented and appealing stage performers — move instantly to reassure us that they don't mean it. At one point Klein relates an interesting tale about how she came to possess the badly taxidermied body of an electrocuted squirrel as a child; the minute she's completed this funny, freaky moment in an otherwise highly predictable evening, she gives a pouty, don't-get-me-wrong grin and sweetly caresses the squirrel's head. There's enough good material here for a tight, funny, one-hour-long show, but this one stretches on and on, as if Klein and Gehring had been determined to throw every single joke and piece of shtick that occurred to them in the script.

Singin' in the Rain. The 1952 movie starring Donald O'Connor, Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds became a play thirty years later. It's the story of a glamorous Hollywood couple, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont, and what happens to them during the transition from silent movies to the talkies: Don comes through pretty well, but Lina's voice is a harsh, squeaking disaster that threatens to sink the studio. Enter Kathy Selden, who wants to be a serious stage actress. Don falls for her — much to Lina's chagrin — and persuades her to lend her warm, smooth speaking and singing tones to the cause: Dubbing, newly invented, saves the film. There's much to recommend in this production of Singin' in the Rain: a fine orchestra; some terrific performances; the clever pieces of fake silent film; the company's usual exuberance; the choreography of Scott Beyette and Alicia Dunfee, who also play Don and Kathy; and the rain scene: Thunder sounds, the audience members nearest the stage hastily don company-provided slickers, and water jets, cascades and falls from the ceiling, soaking the wildly tapping Beyette, puddling on the stage and conveying an intense sense of freedom, shock and exhilaration.

Hi - I have a pine rocking chair that I would like to be able to put out on my porch. What product would I buy to waterproof it so this indoor chair can become an outdoor chair. Thanks for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are no finish products of which I know that will do that long term. Pine is such a soft wood and expands/contracts so much that paint is about the only finish that will last any time at all. But paint on pine furniture eventually cracks and lets in weather. Stripping and repainting is the only sure cure. That may have to be done every year or two. |
