Keep your powder dry!! info
Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERYONE IN THE U. S.
needs to know....
Something happened... H.R. 1388 was passed yesterday, behind
our backs. You may want to read about it. It wasn't mentioned
on the news... just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom
of the CNN screen.
Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas
Refugees to the USA. This is the news that didn't make the
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the
expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the
Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza.
The "presidential determination", which allows hundr eds of
thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in
the United States, was signed on January 27 and appeared in
the Federal Register on February 4.?Few on Capitol Hill, or in
the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket
replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who
have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic
Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of
January 2006.
Let's review...itemized list of some of Barack Obama's most
recent actions since his inaugurationHis first call to any
head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of
Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.
His first one-on-one television interview with any news
organization was with Al Arabia television.
His first executive order was to fund/facilitate abortion(s)
not just here within the U. S., but within the world, using U.
S. tax payer funds.
He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of
detainees halted.
He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.
He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS
Cole and the "terror attack" on 9/11.
Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of
Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at
American taxpayer expense.
These important, and insightful, issues are being "lost" in
the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages.

Get your facts straight info
You keep your powder dry please:
With all due respect: This is plain BS and even repeated, still remains plain BS (that same message has been distributed through the net a thousand times by now but that does not make it any more right and just shows that people are easily manipulated into brainlessly repeating BS on the slightest incident):
Passed by the House of Representatives with a 321-105 margin (and not behind anybodys back), HR 1388 is the "Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act", dubbed the "GIVE" act and none of what you are alerting about (probably just repeated the BS msg w/o double checking?):
The purpose of the GIVE act is to "To reauthorize and reform the national service laws", specifically the National and Community Service Act of 1990.
HR 1388 reads (in its central parts):
You could argue that the mandatory service for youth is unconstitutional (how can something voluntary be mandatory, and this would be a valid discussion), but thats a bout all to be said against it.
Now, it seems you mix that up with Presidential Determination No. 2009-15, which does relate to refugees in Gaza, but says nothing at all about any Palistinians being brought to the US (though it indeed authorizes spending of 20 Million to help refugees in need there):
15M(ay): Noooobody! ...expects the Spanish Revolution!:
Update SEP 2011: Now reached US, called "Occupy Wall Street" and they claim they invented it. Thanks for learning from Spain!

No it's BS. There are no plans to immigrate mass numbers of Palastinens to the US. The bill is an aid package.

Let' see "$20,000,000.00 divided by 200,000 refugees equals $100.00. They must be going to fly first class.

Because FOX says it it does not have to be true... Read my detailed comparison to the same wording of the Bush and the Obama determination above, it cannot be made clearer to ppl that know to read...
I did not hear you cry "ALERT!!!" in 2007???
|May 2nd, 2009
The idea that anyone would believe that 20million dollars would deliver, "hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in
the United States", seemed pretty funny to me.
About 15 years ago I went to Saudi Arabia on a business trip. The round trip Business class airfare was $8,000.00, Los Angeles to Riyadh.

It raised a chuckle here I have to say.
Non-political comment here.

What bugs me is how so many people can go around saying stuff that ain't true, expecting that somehow the truth will pop out of no where.
But then, I confess I have made similar mistakes. I have forwarded stuff without verifying, and then end up with egg in the face when it turns out I should have.

This course introduces Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, using a project-based approach that introduces video editors to all the skills necessary to cut their own program. Using a short commercial project as an example, author Abba Shapiro walks viewers through a complete and logical workflow that begins with importing media, creating a basic rough edit, and then refining the cut with music and sound effects, transitions, visual effects, and titles. The course also includes troubleshooting advice, such as reconnecting offline media and using the History panel to undo multiple actions.
So we know how to bring clips into our Timeline, we know how to move them around and extend them, but how do I remove a clip? And there's a couple of ways to do that, and you get different results depending on the type of edit you do. So, the first thing we want to do is, say, remove this Bulb clip, and I can select it, and if I want to delete that clip-- it's called a lift edit in the technical jargon. But I just want to remove it, so I want to delete the clip. It's as simple as pressing the Delete key on a Mac, or the Backspace key on a Windows machine.
And if I press that key, the clip is now gone, and it leaves an empty space, and this empty space is called a gap. And there are times you may want to leave an empty space, and there are times you may want to also close that empty space or close that gap, and that's a slightly different type of edit. So let's go ahead and hit undo-- that's Command+Z on a Mac and Ctrl+Z on Windows--and instead of doing a Delete or Backspace, I'm going to hold down a Modifier key.
First, I'll select the clip that I want to remove, and now I'll press Option+Delete. And what you see is that not only is the clip removed, but the space is closed. That's also called a Ripple Delete, and some people also refer to that as an extract edit. If you're a clicker and you have your hand on your mouse, go ahead and just right-click on any clip, and you can see you have the choice to Cut, which removes the clip. Let me undo that. Or I can right-click and choose Ripple Delete, and again, I have the same effect.
Now, what about if I have a gap already because I didn't know how to do this earlier or maybe I moved a clip, and I just want to close that space? Well, think of that empty space also as a clip, and I can simply right-click on that empty space and choose Ripple Delete and close that gap, and I'm good to go. So removing a clip from your Timeline is pretty easy. I can do them one at a time, or if I wanted to remove an entire chunk, I can just lasso them and hit Delete and they're all gone.
Now remember, if you do this by mistake, you can always undo and bring them back. So deleting clips in your Timeline, very simple, whether you like to use a mouse or a keyboard shortcut, your choice, but it's fast, and it's efficient. Just remember, there's two types: a Delete that leaves the space, and a Ripple Delete that closes it.

Product description
This volume of The Grand Scribe's Records includes the second segment of Han-dynasty memoirs and deals primarily with men who lived and served under Emperor Wu (r. 141--87 B.C.). The lead chapter presents a parallel biography of two ancient physicians, Pien Ch'ueh and Ts'ang Kung, providing a transition between the founding of the Han dynasty and its heyday under Wu. The account of Liu P'i is framed by the great rebellion he led in 154 B.C. and the remaining chapters trace the careers of court favourites, depict the tribulations of an ill-fated general, discuss the Han's greatest enemy, the Hsiung-nu, and provide accounts of two great generals who fought them. The final memoir is structured around memorials by two strategists who attempted to lead Emperor Wu into negotiations with the Hsiung-nu, a policy that Ssu-ma Ch'ien himself supported.

Oxford Metal Shingle
Benefits of an American Metal Roof
High Strength, Low Weight
Oxford Metal Shingle takes advantage of aluminum's great strength at a fraction of the weight of others roofs. It is installed over most old roofs without a tear-off, and it's tough enough to be hail-resistant and walkable.
Classic, Simple, and Longer Lasting
Oxford Metal Shingles' low profile emulates the classic, simple look of architectural shingle, and low profile shingles of the early 1900's but with long-lasting beauty and efficiency that no other material can match.
Produced from heavy .024″ thick aluminum, these fully interlocking 12″ X 60″ panels install quickly and form a dependable weather barrier. They are completely rust-resistant, providing clear superiority over similar steel roofing systems.
The baked-on Kynar/Hylar finish is available in several colors and provides low-gloss beauty and durability as well as fading and chalking resistance that leads the industry. Oxford Metal Roofing Shingle is designed with precise engineering to bring the proven worry-free benefits to today's homeowners.
Oxford Metal Shingles are coated with HI-R heat reflective paint, which helps to create a cooler, more energy-efficient home due to the special reflective pigments embedded in the finish. The complex chemical structure of these pigments reflects away the infrared portion of the sun's rays most responsible for heat buildup. So, while maintaining color consistency and fade protection, HI-R Heat Barrier Technology provides all the advantages of greater reflectance, without sacrificing color choices.
Oxford Metal Shingle is available as a Snow Country Roof.

Sep 22, 2010 - by Steve Gerweck
Two of the best women's wrestlers in the world compete on Oct. 2 in

+ ALISSA FLASH (c) vs. MERCEDES MARTINEZ +
Recently, Pro Wrestling Illustrated ranked the top 50 women's wrestlers in the entire world including the WWE and TNA. Ranking in at #3 was Mercedes Martinez; at #4 was Alissa Flash. At RCW's Battlelines IV, in the main event, these two athletes compete for the top prize in River City Wrestling — the RCW Championship. Alissa Flash, of TNA and Shimmer fame, makes a title defense against "The Latina Sensation" Mercedes Martinez, also of Shimmer fame. In August, Flash defeated the chauvinistic Joey "Super Shot" Spector to capture the championship. Spector had a rematch clause, but his girlfriend Martinez took the rematch in September by force. In that contest, outside interference led to the match getting thrown out. RCW promoter Brandon Oliver ruled that no one will be allowed at ringside and there will be no interference. This is an opportunity for San Antonio wrestling fans to see two of the top female athletes in the world compete for the RCW Championship!

I am now writing this post almost a week and a half after we returned from our holiday to Lanzarote and almost a week after I wrote our first post. Our tans have definitely started to fade already, but our memories haven't and I have loved going back over these photos and having another look. I wish we still back in our little villa, enjoying the sunshine with my little family.
Here is Part Two of our holiday to Lanzarote in photos and another little video... (I just love making these videos so much!)
Sister cuddles. On the third night of our holiday we went to a beautiful marina called Puerto Calero- if you are visiting Lanzarote I highly recommend a visit as it was so lovely to walk around and look at the boats.
Everywhere we went the girls got given these sticky, horrible lollies, usually AFTER they had already consumed an ice cream for pudding as well. We couldn't say no as they would look forward to them every meal but they definitely weren't as exciting for myself and Mr E who were worried about their teeth!
Look at my happy girly, she was all smiles all holiday.
Little freckle nose playing the 'minion game' on Daddy's phone- she was obsessed with playing it with him all holiday.
Puerto Calero harbour.
I love this photo of my girls- after all what is there not to love about golden light sunshine and sisters holding hands?
I'm a lucky lady to have these three to call my family.
Oh golden light sunshine you will always be my favourite. My Grandpa was looking at my blog the other day and he said 'why do you always take these hazy photos?' I think it might only be me whose a fan of these beauties! ;)
Love, love, love, love this photo of myself and this beauty. Mr E is getting better at the photo taking, as long as I set up the settings beforehand for him!
I think I might like this one even more. Does anyone else talk about owning a yacht when they walk round a marina or is it just us?! Puerto Calero was beautiful and definitely worth having a walk around, it was only about fifteen minutes drive from where we were staying.
Villa Ventura had a private pool and it was amazing to see how happy the girls were swimming around each day- Mads is a complete and utter water baby.
Two little crocs in the water- they look so similar in this photo I think.
I love the little bit of tummy poking out on this photo- this girl has got class! They lived in their Konfidence jackets as they do every holiday, they give us such peace of mind when being near water.
Both of the girls have got so much more confident going in the pool over the course of this holiday, I guess that's one of the benefits of having a private pool in your villa.
Cool dudes. Evening light. Yippee.
It was lovely to go for a walk in the evening, it stayed so hot even up until when the sun went down 8ish- the main promenade was wide enough that meant they could walk along without me worrying they were going to run into the road.
I am so proud of these two- love their Little Bird outfits too, Mads loves that blue playsuit, she is on an anti pink stage and so loves anything blue.
I am not quite sure why she was jumping in this photo!
I'm a big succulent fan (is there such a thing as a succulent fan?!) so I loved all these cacti on someone's front steps.
The girls loved the fact that the tide came in overnight and made big water pools, it meant they could splash and play to their hearts content. I love the beach but who else finds with children that the sand just gets absolutely everywhere?
Happy Splashing.
Serious sandcastle building.
Sitting on Daddy's lap to eat her ice cream. You never know what to expect from restaurants on holiday but we can definitely recommend the areas of the Puerto del Carmen old town harbour and Puerto Calero, where we found a fabulous selection of tapas, fish and meat dishes. Plus they all had plain pasta and pizza for the girls which means it's always a winner in my eyes. ;)
Our last evening out and the last lolly of the holiday!
I love their happy smiles in this one.
Here is the second little film I made of our time in Lanzarote...
Overall it was a fantastic holiday, full of memories, happy times and laughter. Indeed if I had to sum it up in one word I would say smiles, of course you don't go on holiday to have a bad time, but I don't know what it was but it was just relaxed and laid back from start to finish. Sometimes going on holiday can mean the occasional grumpy day as routines change and the inevitable later bedtimes make for over tired children, but the girls were so well behaved from start to finish. We got into a routine of them both having a long afternoon siesta which meant that we could keep them up until around 8.30/9pm, therefore we actually managed to get out and have dinners out rather than just staying in our villa.
We went on lots of villa holidays before the girls were born, but this is the first time we have done one with them. It's hard to say which is my favourite- I love the luxury of a hotel stay, the fact that your room gets cleaned and you have your pick of nice food, but there is definitely something more relaxed about being in a villa. We could come and go as we pleased, weren't held to timings and the best bit for us was having the private pool area, which meant the girls could sit inside for a bit of shade and have a little watch of the television, but we didn't have to go in with them as we could sit less than a metre away in the sunshine.
As for Lanzarote, having been a few times in my childhood and teens, plus once in my early 20's, I admit to having a few tiny worries before I went away, mainly around it being quite commercialised and British- but in actual fact we couldn't have asked for a better location. The villa was in a quiet area but with the action not too far away. We were a stones throw away from the beach and there were really fantastic playgrounds dotted all around us, which were great fun for the girls. The whole resort was spotless, the people were friendly and we wouldn't hesitate in going back there again- there really was so much for us to do.
Looking back on these photos makes me get a little teary. I am just so, so incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to experience things like this with my little family, but more than that I am just so grateful to have these three in my life. I must have said to my husband 'we are so lucky' at least three times a day. Because we are. We have those two beautiful little girls, whose faces were full of smiles all week just at being able to have their Mummy and Daddy all to themselves. Day to day life is hectic, busy and at times I am the first to admit I am not always completely present- we work hard, the girls go to nursery, or there's cleaning to be done, jobs to be doing or meals to be made. I relished the opportunity to switch off and spend a week with my girls, away from the stresses and mundanity of day to day life, and I know they did as well.
Thanks for the memories Lanzarote!

Yes you read that right. My four year old still has a nap most days. It's hard to write that without sounding smug, but indeed I am really lucky in that both my girls love a good snooze. I remember before I became a parent the one thing that everyone used to say to me was things like 'Sleep while you can' and 'Welcome to sleepness nights for the next eighteen years.' Mads was born and it was just a blur of sleep deprivation, it completely hit me lie a ton of bricks. I remember some nights literally slapping myself around the face while I was feeding her trying to keep myself from falling asleep- I was so scared that I would suffocate her or drop her off the bed because I was that exhausted.
Of course when both of them were tiny we had the real sleepless nights, but looking back they never seem as bad as they did when you were living through them at the time. LL was definitely the worse of the two, but I wonder whether it was because I wasn't as strict with our night time routine because I was worried about disturbing Mads. I do remember them going through stages where we had to let both of them grizzle in order to learn how to settle themselves, but for the most part from the time they were six months and in their own rooms they were pretty much sleeping through.
I have always been really strict when it comes to their sleep and nap routine and I am not ashamed to admit it. When I say strict, I am not standing there at the door with them screaming to be let out or anything far fetched like that, but I have always put them down for naps at the same time and I made sure that both of them napped at the same time so I got a tiny bit of peace or time to work in the midst of a busy day of parenting. When they were both smaller and even now still, I will leave whatever we are doing to come home for them to sleep- over the years I have missed out on full days out with friends, but unless we are doing something really exciting I would rather keep to their routine.
For as long as I can remember both of them have gone down to sleep at 1.30pm (or 2.15pm if it's a nursery day) and have slept until at least 4.00pm. Over the years Mads nap has got shorter but at four years old she still has one at least a few times a week. I remember all my friends children stopping napping much earlier and them saying 'Katie she needs to drop it soon, she can't still be napping when she goes to school.' But I know my daughter and although all the research says that children don't need a nap past two, (I think) Mads thrives on a bit of chill out time. Even if she doesn't nap, she will lie in her room and have 'quiet time' where she reads or plays with her toys. LL still sleeps until 4pm and every day I have to wake her.
They both sleep twelve hours at night and it's very rare they are up in the night, in fact it is only ever if they are sick, even when they are poorly they seem to sleep more. They have been sharing a room for the last couple of months now and I must admit I was really worried that they were going to become worse at sleeping, but so far it seems ok. Of course it's not all been plain sailing, we now put them down to bed at 7pm and some nights they chatter and cause havoc for up to two hours, usually about an hour, and we have to go up there most nights to tell them to be quiet. But they never ever get out of bed and as long as they eventually fall asleep and they don't get up we don't mind what they get up to. They adore sharing a room and it's actually quite sweet to hear them laughing upstairs together.
Sleep and a good night time routine is just a really big thing for our family, we are pretty relaxed and laid back in a lot of ways and as the children have got older we definitely break the rules every now and again and let Mads have a sleepover in our bed, or let them go to bed much later. But for the most part we know that our children get grumpy if they don't sleep. Grumpy chlidren equals grumpy parents, so it's just best for all of us if we sleep well. Therefore when I was approached by Slumberdown to see if I wanted to be one of their sleep ambassadors for the year, I was really honoured. Slumberdown is a company that believes a good night sleep is something that every family deserves- and that's something I couldn't agree more with.
Over the next year I will be working alongside two other amazing parent bloggers, Lucy and Tara, we will be road testing the latest Slumberdown products, taking part in family sleep challenges, and above all representing and having fun with this fab brand. The other day I got a big parcel in the post and in it were some amazingly comfy pillows for the whole family- I told Slumberdown about how I had been getting a bad back since the girls were born and how I really didn't find my existing pillows very comfy at all- they came to my rescue and now my head couldn't be happier when I go to the land of nod! You can follow Slumberdown on facebook and twitter, and do stay tuned to see how we get on over the next year.
I know I have been so lucky with the girls sleep up till this point, my Mum always tells me that they will pay me back big time when they are teenagers and are wanting to stay out tlll all hours of the morning. But in the meantime, if they want to sleep in until 7.30am (when was that ever considered a lie in before?!) then that's perfectly fine by me!

My motherhood journey seems to be broken down into stages. There's those big stages- the newborn days, the baby days, the toddler days and the days before school, the big milestone days that get ticked off one by one. First smile... check. First tooth... check. First time in a big girl bed... check. First time on a play date without Mummy... check. Every stage that passes and every milestone reached, however great, I seem to mourn. I mourned the day LL stopped wearing babygrows, I mourned the day Mads no longer called me Mama but Mummy and I mourn them getting older on a regular basis. I am an emotional sap and I find the slightest thing about my children can set me off. But at the same time I find myself saying 'This is the best it's ever been.'
And it's true, for every stage that passes that feels so utterly bittersweet, there's actually a better stage ahead. The newborn days, they are oh so delicious, with those soft baby heads and endless hours breastfeeding, snuggling and marvelling at this little person you created. There's those teeny tiny onesies, washed over and over again, the night feeds where although you are exhausted you feel like it's just you and your baby against the world. But as much as I love to look back on them with fondness (and remember the hardness at times), each stage that we get to really is the best of all the moments that have been before it. That's the beauty of watching these girls grow up.
So what is motherhood like right now with an 'almost four and a half year old' and a 'turned two a couple of months ago year old?' Well of course, yet again, it's the best it's ever been. These days being a Mum means going from moments of utter frustration to just absolute proudness and love in a few moments. Sometimes I feel like the days are never ending- hour upon hour of constant questions, grumpy children or just the daily humdrum of life. Life can be tedious at times, of course it can, routines and structures set in place, eating the same thing every week, going to the same soft play and playing the same games over and over. Sometimes I go to bed in the evening and feel so incredibly guilty- I feel guilty for not giving them my full attention, not fully participating in the same boring game of making plastic pizza with olives and tomato, of not being completely present. Or I will feel guilty for losing my patience too easily, for shouting over something that didn't really need to be shouted over.
But for the most part, motherhood just feels good to me. Of course it's always felt good, it's a blessing and for the most part I've been lucky to have it pretty easy all things considered. But this stage we are at right now? It's fun. Mads is on the brink of going to school and I know life will change dramatically then, but for the next few months I have her all to myself bar the days she's at nursery. She's like a sponge, she wants to learn, she wants to understand about the world she lives in and above all she is just the most funny little character. She's a joker, she is never serious and she always has a smile. Yet she is incredibly sensitive, affectionate and loves to be near you. At times that can become a little stifling, she is constantly asking questions, wanting to play, but she's also pretty easy. She knows the consequences of her actions at four, she knows how to behave. You can tell her to do something and she will do it most of the time. Of course the odd meltdown can still occur, but for the most part she is such a well behaved little girl.
And then there's LL. My baby. Who actually really isn't a baby anymore. In the last couple of weeks all traces of baby have gone. Instead we have a little girl, a happy, cheerful little girl whose character develops on a daily basis- we are loving to get to know her properly and find out who she is and who she is going to become. Her speech has exploded and we love her feisty little personality. She's more stroppy than her big sister, who often gives in to her for an easy life. She has the occasional serious temper tantrum, of course we are well in the 'terrible twos', but I have the benefit of experience this time round. It doesn't phase me. Yes that person just had to step over my wailing, screaming child who has just thrown herself on the floor of Tescos because I wouldn't let her hold a pack of frozen chips. (true story) Do I care? It doesn't phase me in slightest. The second time around you know that you haven't given birth to a wannabe sociopath just because of a few tantrums. You know it's just a stage and that she will grow out of it soon enough, hindsight is a powerful tool in this motherhood journey.
Both my girls are so much fun to be around. I think it's even better because they compliment each other so well. They are learning to play with each other properly, rather than simply co-existing and being sat there playing next to each other with separate toys. Sharing a bedroom together has made them even closer and I hear them at night chattering away, of course a lot of time LL doesn't make a huge amount of sense, but judging by the giggles, it's non stop fun. And quite simply it's fun for me too. I am the lucky one who gets to take part in these adventures. To experience their imaginations and the way they are with each other. To experience the cuddles, the kisses and the happy smiles. I get to experience the days where I cannot wait for them to get to bed- where I breathe a sigh of relief that they are away from me so I can get some peace, only to go upstairs and see them fast asleep, their bodies contorted into funny positions because they have obviously been getting up to mischief and I get to feel that emotion of pure love that comes with watching my sleeping babies. All parents must get that feeling when they check on them at night- that feeling 'These little people are mine', the way the love just rushes through you and you want to wake them up.
I have no doubt that there will be more stages in the future. Harder stages, stages where it all goes a bit difficult, I remember in the early days my Mum used to ring me to check in and say 'How's it been today?' because Mads was going through a stage of having tantrums and LL was teething and grumpy. I had days where I would pace the living room just waiting for Mr E's key to turn in the lock. But those days rarely happen anymore, sure I have bad days where I say to my husband 'Please let me go and have a bath for an hour just to have a break' but they are few and far between. Parenting is tough, those stages will come back, periods where Mads drives me mad, where she tests the boundaries again, or where LL repeats them all just a couple of years behind.
But motherhood right now? It feels good. It's always good but it feels really good.
'This is the best it's ever been.'

Of course when you are on holiday you end up taking more photos than you do when you are just going about your day to day life. On our recent trip to Lanzarote my big camera came out with us every evening and I loved taking photos of my girls. I took so many of them together over the course of the week but for my Siblings post this month I wanted to focus on one evening as the remainder of the photos are for another post, plus I like to have a series of shots and a sort of story behind them.
I am definitely not exaggerating when I say that my daughters make me feel so proud every day, of course they do, they are my children and I love them- all parents are proud of their offspring. Yes they also drive me mad constantly and sometimes parenting is incredibly tough, but of course they make me proud- that's a given. But the thing that is guaranteed to make me feel the proudest is the way they are with each other.
Mads and LL have such an amazing bond and it really is just such a wonderful thing to witness. My Mum, who sees them a couple of times a week said to me the other day that the bond they had was really something quite special. Of course they argue, mainly over the usual things like sharing toys or the iPad more than anything else, but to be honest they don't even really argue all that much. They are the best of friends and their bond is really quite intense. Sometimes in day to day life I don't really stop to appreciate it but then I will look back over photos or videos that I have made and it is just obvious how much they love each other.
I am so incredibly proud of that.
On holiday they seemed to get even closer, I actually think it's more the fact that every day LL is becoming more and more communicative and it's enabled them to really start to play properly with each other. They have imaginative play more than ever, making up stories and running around the house pretending to be police officers, or a head chef and a sous chef. The dynamics between them are funny, LL really is like Mads shadow, she follows her everywhere and you can tell the way she looks up to her by the look of admiration in her eyes. But then Mads is the more affectionate of the two, she always wants to cuddle her and play with her ears which is her source of comfort. And LL definitely is the boss although she is the youngest, poor Mads often gives in to her demands for an easy life. LL definitely rules the roost.
These photos were taken on the first night of our holiday, when we went to the local harbour for dinner. Again although they are really similar, their differences are obvious to me in these shots. Mads is such a tom boy, she is happiest in shorts and t-shirts, whereas at the moment LL seems to be living up to the girly stereotype of loving what she calls her 'pretties'- basically a selection of plastic jewels plus also she is obessed with shoes.
As they ran round the harbour hand in hand they got many smiles from people sitting in the outdoor areas of restaurants eating their dinner, with a few kind people commenting on how lovely they were. As a mother I don't know anything more lovely when you are out and about than someone complimenting your children on their behaviour- these kind of comments stick in my mind even from years ago but generally it doesn't happen enough and it's so nice when people take the time to do so. Again I was struck by just how proud I was of them. They have their moments, one day it could be one that has made me frustrated and the next day it could be the other, and I can definitely see glimpses into the future of how having two headstrong, feisty little ladies is going to be a handful at times, but I really hope that they remain the best of friends.
I put this quote on my instagram the other day and I think it totally sums up my two girls...
'Sister to Sister we will always be, a couple of nuts off the family tree.' - Author Unknown
I can only hope that my two little crazy nuts have this bond for the rest of their lives.
No girls, this isn't what Mummy wants for photos on her blog. ;)
It wasn't until I looked closely at this photo that I noticed they were holding hands.
This month I am sending you over to have a look at Lucy's beautiful blog- head over to see what her little twosome have been getting up to.

Foursquare: Lively Drama Spiked With Risky Questions
Like the incendiary domestic melodrama of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? framed in a Pinter-esque narrative mindfuck and spiked with piercing questions of race, class, and gender, John G. Young's The Reception is a fresh and uncompromising account of emotional self- immolation and romantic flux. And it has a happy ending to boot.
Essentially a tale of two couples (give or take a gormless suitor and mock spouse or two), The Reception focuses on Martin (Wayne Lamont Sims), a nonproducing, psychically numb, gay African American painter who's sequestered himself in the upstate New York farmhouse of well-off white dipso depressive Jeannette (Pamela Holden Stewart). He absorbs her drunken abuse in exchange for the companionship and remote digs, and successfully ignores his own unhappiness until Jeannette's estranged daughter, Sierra (Margaret Burkwit), and her new, also black husband, Andrew (the phenomenally versatile Darien Sills-Evan), turn up unexpectedly. Like Martin and Jeannette's relationshipto all appearances a comfortable marriage with no more than the average potential for ugly collapseSierra and Andrew's entanglement is not quite what it seems, and the foursome's hidden longings and simmering resentments spew to the surface posthaste.
Young's previous effort, Parallel Sons, is already a decade old, and it's tempting to believe he spent the intervening years crafting the jarringly complex (but never cheaply illogical) story twists that make this follow-up so lively and demanding. But what really sets The Reception apartin addition to Derek Wiesehahn's admirably innovative DV compositions are the risky social themes and bracing tenderness that underlie its plot formalities.

The worst thing about it: the official bought it. Here's the clip of the play, sponsored by soccer:

Tag : technology-2
Tag : technology-2
So after reading scores of 'drop-everything-and-just-travel' blog posts you've finally done it. You booked that trip. First off, congrats my friend- a wise choice indeed. Now comes the small matter of staying connected. Whether for business or pleasure, the importance of this cannot be underestimated.
Sure, many of you are probably sitting there scoffing 'Well I don't give a shit about Hotmail and facebook when I'm travelling. I do it to unplug and escape my normal life". Good for you I say. But the thought of being unconnected for just a matter of minutes is, for some, deeply distressing. Alarming, but true. So here are five small words of advice if you fall into that latter category.
One: Google Voice
Often, there will be incurred costs for receiving data on your phone, sometimes even if you haven't answered. Avoid this by signing up for Google Voice– a service which diverts incoming calls/data and notifies you of all missed calls, texts and new voicemail by e-mail. It's genius. Users can respond to messages for free (the reply will be sent as a text) and even arrange to have voicemail transcribed by Google!
Two: Get all the Apps
There are loads of them out there. Some of them are free, some you have to pay a small fee for. Viber is a fantastic way of communicating at no cost with other iPhone and Android users, as is Rebtel for making affordable international calling. But the real winner here is the now world-renowned Whatsapp. This service allows users of iPhones, Androids, BB and Nokia to send messages as data to anywhere in the world for absolutely nothing. 250 million are already using it. Get involved.
Three: Buy a local sim
Providing your phone is unlocked, this option may be the most feasible. Often, the cost of calling home from foreign sims is just as much, if not less than using your regular number at a standard roaming cost. They cost next to nothing, and some countries even give them away for free at the airport- with free credit! Well worth the money as you'll no doubt need to keep in touch with fellow travellers met along the way too.
Four: International Sim Cards
If you're not smartphone savvy and would rather just keep things incredibly simple, then international sim cards may well be for you. It is essentially just one sim card that is coded to work in any given country, and can be recharged online as you go, though rates are slightly higher than alternative options.
Five: Skype
It may not have escaped your notice that so far the small matter of internet connectivity has been entirely ignored. Well, that's because these days it's hardly an issue, online phone cards are easy to use and wi-fi is readily available in hotels and cafés almost anywhere in the world, and out in the sticks too if you have a laptop and the right external device. Skype, is still first choice when it comes to video-calling; free, crystal clear quality (most of the time) and super easy to use, you generally can't go wrong. It also offers excellent premium services for long-term travellers such as 'Skype Out' and 'Skype In', which allow users to make and receive calls to and from any landline in the world for $30 a year.
There are hundreds of gadgets, apps and superb offers out there for the connectivity-conscious traveller, but remember that there are also just as many bogus or outdated schemes that will quickly eat up your money. So whichever option grabs you, research it carefully first!

Smartphone technology has more or less taken over the world by this point, and there's a decent chance that anyone reading this article has one or is considering taking the plunge. For travelers, the decision to do so can be alternately easier or harder, depending on what company and model they choose, what their destination is, and how much data they really plan to use. How do you wade through all of the necessary steps and get the coverage you want while paying as little as possible?
The first step is, of course, acquiring a smartphone. With so many to choose from, this decision can be somewhat daunting. What are you looking for in your phone? If you plan to be doing a lot of traveling, it needs to work on the GSM network. You can also check if your phone is sold "unlocked," meaning it can access other networks than its default one. If it isn't, you can get the access code to unlock it yourself from your provider. Some of most popular options for world travelers are Blackberrys, iPhones, the Samsung Galaxy S, and the LG Optimus. However, there are countless other options, and you would do well to research them beforehand to make sure you're happy with your decision. You can find cheap mobile phones at dial a phone and similar sites, which not only provide a range of descriptive and comparative information about smartphones, but also offer purchasing plans that can help cash-strapped backpackers afford these useful but expensive gadgets.
Once you arrive in your destination, you need to buy a local SIM card, which is an inexpensive chip that fits under the battery of most phones. This allows you to load up on credit for calls and messages. You'll also probably want to purchase a data bundle of some sort, which could be as small as 50 MB or up to several GB of browsing, messaging, using maps, and accessing other network data on the local 3G network. 3G is available in a pretty good chunk of the world, and offers you unparalleled convenience for reasonable prices. When possible, though, it's better to save your data and use wifi at your hotel or guesthouse, cafes, and the free public networks that many progressive cities offer. You'll never know when you'll find yourself running low on data credit when you need it most. SIM cards are so cheap that you may find it an economical choice to buy a new one in each country you visit. You'll have to keep learning new numbers for yourself, but that's a small price to pay to have a functional phone making inexpensive calls.
Smartphones are a great choice for backpackers because of their portability. If bringing a laptop isn't necessary, or you're traveling with a partner and can limit yourself to just one, mobiles provide you with all of the convenience (and more, if you get 3G) at a small fraction of the size and weight. If you already own one it's a no-brainer, and if you don't yet it can be a great investment. Move forward with the technology; you won't regret it.

The arch, to insulate or not?
Hey guys, sorry if this has been covered before, I did search for an answer but couldn't find one.
Is it necessary to insulate the entry/vent arch area? For appearances, I would like to leave some or as much of the brick work of the arch exposed, as I reckon it looks quite good. It's amazing how much you hone your skills constructing one of these things. Sort of makes me want to make another, now knowing everything I do!
Anyway, enough rambling. Any thoughts or suggestions are always appreciated.
Thanks, Nic.
Re: The arch, to insulate or not?
I dont think its necessary. I did just because I wasnt comfortable having my decorative brick next to the flue. As far a heat retention its pretty much escaping at that point.
Re: The arch, to insulate or not?
I was studying your build pictures again, (they really are great and will be my model) and I think I have everything fairly clear except for your base. It looks like you have a course under your floor. Is that what the FB board looks like?
I have my Heatstop 50 on the way, firebrick ready to pick up and I would like to have my floor well insulated as I anticipate a little bread making, perhaps more that pizza.
Re: The arch, to insulate or not?
Mark, I used 4 inches of the board. It raised my hearth to an acceptable level while keeping the counter and barbeque lower.
Re: The arch, to insulate or not?
Thanks for the reply. Your oven must stay hot quite a while. How many blanket layers?
I know some of this stuff is expensive, but you only one chance to build the damn thing and I don't want any regrets. Is there anything you would do differently this time around?
Re: The arch, to insulate or not?
Mark, I can cook in it on the third day after the fire. I'm using it this weekend and I will document the temps for the record (I did a few of them before but it's hard to find the post). I bought 2 one inch blankets so I covered it twice and some places more then that. I then added 3-4 inches of vermiculite on top of that.
What would I have done differently - I would have cut ALL the bricks in such a way that I would have used no mortar (other then the tie in of the vent/dome). It doesn't matter squat - it just would have been a cool thing to do (hind site being 20/20 and my muscles are no longer sore)
Re: The arch, to insulate or not?
Les, don't say that, I just might do it, although I assume you would have to mortar the first chain, or band it or the whole thing would collapse from the thrust of the dome. Brunelleschi used steel "railroad track" built into the lower vertical chains to support his dome in Florence. From reading your posts I would guess you would love the book, Brunelleschi's Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented Architecture. I just looked it up on Amazon, 10 bucks, one of my favorite books of all time. His dome is the largest in the world, has no buttressing and used no center, (wooden form) or any form at all. If you're going to read the book I won't tell how he did it, but it's very simple and ingenious.
I was considering building a miniature "Duomo of Florence" but mine will not be 140' in diameter.
Re: The arch, to insulate or not?
Re: The arch, to insulate or not?
Thank you. Your plans put me over the top. I will build.
I must say with the input of you and Les I have decided on the final form of my oven. The dome will be built formless and mortarless and have 4 equal entry arches. Palladio will have nothing on me....

Trying something new and different.
Just like a majority of people, I'm giving this a shot, why not. I would like to start a relationship if I meet the right girl. A little bit about myself... I'm pretty laid back and willing to do almost anything, as long as it's somewhat sane. I love camping, hiking, kayaking, and almost anything done outdoors. I'm somewhat of a handyman and love to work on things, I'm good at working on cars and doing random fixer-uppers around the house. I also love grilling for both family and friends. I've been described by my friends as having a "somewhat" sarcastic sense of humor, granted my humor is sometimes dry, but I try! FYI. I do work for the government as do most folks in the DC area and some would consider me to be a work-coholic, although, I'm definitely able to find a good balance between the two.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports
Football, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

Love all the places where I can just hang out and have a beer. I have to say...DC offers a wide variety of those options. Coffee shops too.
Playing volleyball. AMC TV series Walking Dead. NFL. CNN and ESPN. Love the fall weather and definitely my favorite season.
I like going out, especially when the weather is nice. Being able to enjoy the outdoors, either playing sports or walking around DC.
Washington Post...love it, almost like an addiction.

Just fed up with this game. I bought a copy for me and a friend who are old bf2 vets. I was playing the demo for xbox 360 and we both liked it. After playing the pc version its clear that EA is determined to run all their franchises into the ground. Ive never played a game that made me want to grab the nearest thing and throw it through a wall. No game has ever made me this mad.
I dont understand why it takes a whole clip to destroy somebody. This is the number 1 thing that I hate. My friend stopped playing it because of the same crap in battlefield 2. I just dont grasp why I can go up to someone and put a whole clip into them and somehow they just survive. I shouldnt have to stab them or pull out a handgun to finish the kill. If I come up to somebody and put them in my sights it should be over period. I believe its the same reason why battlefield bad company 1 failed and the reason why people will stop playing this over time.
This game holds so much promise. Its terrible that the small things that are wrong with this game really add up to hinder the experience.
I was having the a conversation with some other people who bought it at my work and they agreed. The PC version seems to be a real mess.
5 years ago#2
Learn to aim.
I'm dead serious. 2 bursts should kill someone. If it doesn't, you're doing it wrong. Then again, I come from CS. If you couldn't aim in CS, it would also take a full clip to kill someone.

Why must you post about it? Uninstall it and move on.

I was honestly expecting a complaint about not being able to get into a game because of the arsed up servers.
Yeah, it takes a lot to bring someone down. The enemies never seem to have problems with it, though... >_>
And BF2's guns weren't weak, it's just that the hitreg was monumentally horrible. When bullets decided to reg, they killed quick. This game has good reg, but weak bullets (except for the pistols).
You might want to try hardcore since people go down faster there.

I do somewhat agree, they should change it back to BF2 stats, 4-5 bullets most of the time but the average is like 7 in this game.
