Quiet Waters Goes Metallic
I was doing some stamp room cleaning the other day and rediscovered some miscellaneous odds and ends, including a sampling of the beautiful Prism metallic cardstocks that Our Daily Bread Designs carries and a small piece of glossy card stock that I had inked up with a friend's alcohol inks a while back (thanks Marti!). I thought I'd put the two together and see what I could come up with.
I stamped the image from Quiet Waters, one of the new Our Daily Bread Designs sets, in Jet Black Staz-On onto the alcohol-inked background piece and then cut it down to a circle using Nestabilities. The rest of the layers are done using various Spellbinders dies (Classic Frame and Labels 3 Nesties) on Bronze, Copper, and Champagne metallic card stocks. The Champagne background layer is scored around the perimeter using a Scor-Pal and pierced and dry embossed using Spellbinders Piercabilities. The bronze flourish at the bottom was cut using a Spellbinders Flourish Accent die, and the pearls are from Stampin' Up's Pretties kit.
Here you can see the dry embossed part of the Piercabilities much better, as well as some of the shimmer of the metallic card stock:
This shot shows how shimmery this metallic card stock really is - it's really amazing stuff!
And last, the inside, where I've included the Scripture - Psalm 23:2:
Before I go, I would be remiss if I did not thank Becca Feeken for sharing her beautiful and inspiring creations. I'm always so impressed and amazed with her creative use of the Spellbinders dies, and her style is always so polished, crisp, and rich with detail. Let's consider this my best attempt at a "Becca card" - I just need a really beautiful ribbon treatment to complete my tribute!

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — If there's one thing Lori Rivera wants you to know, it's that people can recover from mental illness.
Another is that mental illness is not especially rare.
Rivera, the PEACE Zone's program coordinator and latest winner of Mental Health America of Indiana's Heros in the Fight award, recited the goals as she strolled through Evansville's quaint and colorful PEACE Zone facility at 410 Mulberry St.
When Rivera became program coordinator a year ago, the PEACE Zone was just an idea and an empty office space. Today, it's an active gathering place for Evansville residents with mental illness, filled with member-created artwork and host of weekly peer support groups, the Evansville Courier & Press reported (http://bit.ly/1eMLhfM).
Through PEACE Zone, Rivera has begun a quiet campaign to educate the Evansville community about mental illness.
"There is a stigma about mental health issues," Rivera said. "A lot of people see it as a weakness. I know people who are terrified to tell their employers. But mental illness is a brain disorder, and the brain is part of the physical body."
Rivera knows this personally. In high school, she was diagnosed with depression. By her junior year of college her doctors determined she had bipolar disorder. After a long and deeply personal battle, Rivera says she has fully recovered from her mental disorder.
"I was very ill at one time," she said. "There's a misconception that people can never recover from mental health issues, but in fact with the right treatment and medication, it is possible to recover."
Rivera is open about her battle with — and recovery from — mental illness in the hope that it will help dispel stigma and misconceptions about mental illness in Evansville. Accomplishing that could make it easier for Evansville residents experiencing mental health issues to come forward and get help, she said.
Because there are many.
According the National Institute on Mental Health, more than 25 percent of Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder. That means more than 30,000 Evansville residents could be experiencing a mental health issue at any given time.
"The most common are anxiety disorders," Rivera said.
A mental disorder disrupts brain function. Treatments vary and are extremely personal in design.
The PEACE Zone is not a clinical program. It stands for Peer Empowerment and Advocacy in Evansville, and its role is comparable to the role Alcohol Anonymous plays for recovering alcoholics, Rivera said.
"When you come here you don't feel so alone," Rivera said. "And it's good to hear others who have gone through the same struggles as you have and to see that they're doing well now and were able to recover. So it gives you a sense of hope, and a sense of community when you come here."
Beth Barchet, PEACE Zone's Director of Programs, started working with the Southwestern Behavioral Health Services to create a peer-recovery center in 2008.
Around that time the attitude toward mental health treatment had changed, she said. Before, agencies simply cared for people with mental disorders. But they began to realize they should instead help people recover.
It took years to find the funding, which eventually came from a grant from the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction.
Once they had the funding and a facility, Barchet hired Rivera then took a step back.
"That was the hardest part," Barchet said. "Because it is peer driven, it had to be what the people wanted it to be, not what I wanted it to be. When we hired Lori we had nothing."
But that was a year ago. Today, besides than support groups and wellness classes, many PEACE Zone activities are centered around art.
Neither Rivera nor Barchet saw that coming.
"It's been found that a lot of individuals who struggle with mental health issues are very creative and artistic," Rivera said. "We have a very artistic group here."
So Rivera keeps the place stocked with art supplies. She imagines that as people come and go over the years, the PEACE Zone's atmosphere will change.
The PEACE Zone is free and open to anyone experiencing a mental health issue.

1967 Pontiac Grand Prix - From Cold Storage To Hot SupercarWritten by on May 1, 2011 Contributors: Mike Pemberton This Rare And Desirable 428 H.O. '67 Hurst Grand Prix Convertible Was Rediscovered In An Unlikely Location
Sometimes opportunities present themselves in the most improbable places. Back in 2007, when retired police officer Mike Pemberton and his wife, Debbie, of Gardnerville, Nevada, began to frequent a restaurant for breakfast at Sharkey's Casino, little did he know that it would lead to this '67 Hurst Grand Prix convertible.
Rediscovery Mike and his wife got to know the casino's general manager, Jerry Lane, who also managed the restaurant and consulted in the casino industry. Jerry had met Cliff Swartz, the son of Rosalie Brewstein, years before via his casino ties. Rosalie was George Hurst's secretary and she had purchased the '67 Grand Prix after the '67 event season. Despite the 428 H.O. breaking and being replaced with a 400, she drove the Pontiac for the next several years and then relegated it to the easy life of a second car, storing it at her New Jersey home. In the late '80s, her son, Cliff, was in need of a vehicle out in Reno, so Mom offered up the Grand Prix. Cliff and Jerry flew to New Jersey and drove the GP back to Nevada.
After enjoying top-down cruising for a few years, Cliff had the dream but not the means to restore the rare Pontiac, so Jerry decided to pick up the gauntlet and buy it. He located a 428 engine and sent it out for rebuilding and had a restoration shop begin on the body. His best intentions were met with lots of bad luck, however. The engine shop was raided and shut down by the DEA-despite an extended court battle, the engine was gone. The body shop stopped working on the Pontiac and stored it outside for over a year with only primer to protect the sheetmetal. Liberation of bolt-on components from midnight auto-parts shoppers only made things worse. Finally, Jerry got it to his daughter's house, where it sat outside for a couple more years, and then into a storage container, where it hibernated for 18 years.
Mike recalls, "When Jerry started describing the car to me I told myself, sure, sure, sure. I'd never heard of a '67 Hurst Grand Prix convertible. I listened intently, however, and the next day he brought in pictures and documentation. Needless to say, I was flabbergasted."
Jerry wanted to restore it but didn't have the cash, so the two briefly discussed forming a partnership. The numbers didn't crunch favorably, so Mike decided to pass on the offer. By May of 2008, however, Jerry was ready to sell the GP outright, so Mike bought it and got to work.
Restoration Norris Autobody in Gardnerville was chosen to do the bodywork. Once at the shop, the front clip was unbolted, the drivetrain removed, and the body was separated from the frame. Chemical stripping and sanding of the shell revealed the rear quarters would have to be replaced, and the floorpans on the driver rear and passenger front would require repair, but the trunk floor was saveable. Since it's a '67 Grand Prix convertible, body parts were not easy to come by, so Mike purchased a parts car for donor metal.
DuPont 615 etching primer was used to protect the bare metal, and intense cutting, welding, and bodywork ensued. Applications of DuPont 2K urethane primer and block-sanding followed until the body was straight. Next came a coat of urethane sealer; then three coats of DuPont G9900 ChromaBase Super Jet Black basecoat were applied and wet-sanded after drying. Three coats of Hurst Gold in ChromaPremier base were sprayed on the sides of the GP; then House of Kolor UMF01Ultra Goldflake was applied over that. Finally, DuPont 72500 Premium Appearance urethane clear was sprayed four times over the whole body. Wet-sanding was performed with a progression of grits from 800 to 2,000, and 3M products were used for polishing.
Since the original 376-horse 428 H.O. engine was lost decades before, Mike searched for a suitable replacement. "I still wanted to use as many correctly coded parts for the engine as possible," he says. He bought a virgin assembled '67 S/R 428 four-bolt-main short-block, date-coded November 1967, from a collector.
Kurt Brooker at Main Machine in Concord, California, disassembled it to check the condition of the 43-plus-year-old parts. He did a very mild cylinder hone and machined the pistons to lower the compression to 9.375:1. He then reassembled the engine with the nodular-iron, 4.00-inch-stroke crank; cast 6.625-inch rods; and the cast pistons. A Milodon oil pump and pickup were installed, and a set of 670 heads were purchased and rebuilt to stock with hardened valve seats added. A 288/302-degree-duration, No. 068 cam directs the 2.11/1.77 valves via stock pushrods and 1.50-ratio rockers to provide 0.414/0.413 lift.
Fuel and air are provided by a Q-jet carb (No. 7027263) and factory cast-iron, dual-plane intake (No. 9786286). Spark is delivered via a Delco points distributor (No. 1111250), stock coil, date-coded Packard wires, and AC 44S plugs. The exhaust flows through factory long-branch H.O. manifolds (No. 9791607 passenger; No. 9779495 driver) to a complete Waldron stock reproduction system. The long-tail Turbo 400 trans was rebuilt by Elsons in Reno, a stock replacement torque converter was installed, and the 3.08 Safe-T-Track rear was serviced.
Once the bodywork was completed; the chassis mated with the body (with the engine, trans, and rear installed); and the fenders, nose, hood and doors installed and aligned, Mike performed the final assembly. He installed the body trim that was restored by Darryll Sharar and the bumpers that were rechromed by ABC Plating in Sparks, Nevada. He and his friend Mike "Smitty" Smith installed the new top, which was provided by Robbins Auto Top Company in Oxnard, California. Smitty helped rebuild and recover the seats and Mike did the rest of the interior.
To restore the wheels, Mike related that anodizing won't work, and neither will powdercoating because of the porosity of the aluminum. So he had Gary Watson of Creations In Chrome in Valencia, California, apply Spectra-chrome gold paint to the centers, and they came out great. The trim rings were restored by ABC Plating.
Mike couldn't get reproduction Goodyear Blue Streak bias-ply tires in the size that he wanted, so he had Diamond Back Classics apply the Blue Streak to a set of 225/70R14 radials. Though the Goodyear lettering is absent, he now has the look of the Blue Streaks with the performance characteristics of more modern radial tires.
After a 28-month restoration, the GP debuted at the POCI Convention in July of 2010 and has garnered considerable attention since. In fact, one of Mike's favorite moments with it came at the 2010 SEMA show. "Getting to see the look on Linda Vaughn's face when she first saw the restoration is something I'll never forget," he recalls. Linda told HPP, "Oh my goodness, I was impressed. Mike did me proud with that car! Many people at the show came over to ask if I had seen it and told me how beautiful it was. I wish I still had one of them!"
Mike has been able to take all the attention his '67 Hurst Grand Prix receives in stride. "I'm just a guy who is lucky enough to have purchased, restored, and can now share this unique Hurst Pontiac," he says. "I hope all who see it remember George Hurst and his contributions to GM iron and the speed and performance industry."
When opportunity knocked, Mike answered, and both Hurst and Pontiac fans can now enjoy the results.
About the Restoration
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The extremely rare 14-inch, 5-on-5 large-bolt-pattern Hurst wheels with gold centers were completely restored.The GP features nearly 30 factory options including: 428 H.O. engine; Turbo 400 trans; A/C; Soft Ray glass; cruise control; Custom Sports steering wheel, tilt wheel; AM/FM radio; Reverb; 8-track; power antenna; power driver seat; reclining passenger seat; headrests; power windows; power vent windows; remote trunk release; cornering lamps; shoulder harnesses; custom seatbelts; deluxe mats; trunk mat; vanity mirror; underhood reel-out light; HD battery; remote rearview mirror; and Safe-Guard speedometer; and the side skirts were deleted.Mike restored the shifter and console, and relates that the shifter is a '67 GTO unit that was modified to fit in the GP.Here is what the GP looked like when it was first removed from the storage container. The upper body rust came from previous outside storage, and the lower quarter-panel rust was more likely from years of use on the East Coast in the '60s, '70s, and '80s.The gold held up surprisingly well over the years-the trim rings not as much. According to Mike, the Hurst wheels wouldn't fit with disc brakes, so 11-inch drums are fitted all around.
The passenger side received similar metalwork, followed by grinding and dressing of the welds, as well as bodywork to ensure straight panels, gaps, and body lines.After final block-sanding, a coat of sealer was applied, followed by three coats of DuPont G9900 ChromaBase Super Jet Black basecoat.While separated from the body, the frame and suspension were sandblasted and refinished in black using SEM 38101 Rust-Shield. The wear items were replaced, and the rebuilt 428 H.O. and Turbo 400 trans were bolted in.At the far end of the frame, the 3.08-geared Safe-T-Track rear was reinstalled, and the reproduction Waldron 2.25-inch-diameter exhaust with resonators was hung. The shocks have since been replaced with correct spiral units. The stamped date code on the frame reads 9-21-66.Once the body was back on the frame, the gold side paint was applied. DuPont cross-referenced 5196L0, which was the code for the original lacquer, and then mixed it in urethane for this application. Mike had the shop use Pontiac Tryol Blue without the metallic added to replicate the Goodyear Blue trim line that separates the gold and black.

Oklahoma City Barons: OKC powers past Abbotsford to clinch playoff berth
The Barons have been one of the American Hockey League's hottest teams the past six weeks. The only area that's been a little subpar has been the power play.
It wasn't subpar Saturday night.
The Barons scored three second-period power play goals in a 7-3 win over Abbotsford to clinch a playoff berth in front of 4,365 fans at the Cox Convention Center.
"It feels great to get in," said Barons coach Todd Nelson. "This year has been a very up and down year, an emotional year. We had so many things going on with the lockout ... We've come a long ways. I'm very proud of the guys. It feels outstanding."
Eight teams make the playoffs. The Barons are in sixth in the Western Conference. But the standings are so tight, Oklahoma City won't know its seeding or its playoff opponent until after the regular season ends on Sunday.
But the Barons are in. And they're as hot as any team in the league.
"It feels good to get that weight off our back and know we're in," said Chris VandeVelde, who scored two goals. "Everything is clicking. We have a lot of momentum going into the playoffs. We're rolling."
Since March 10, Oklahoma City has lost only three games in regulation, going 12-3-3 to charge from 10th place into the playoffs.
Yann Danis has been one of the hottest goaltenders in the league, going 10-2-3 with a 1.77 goals against average and .931 saves percentage since he returned from Edmonton.
Over the past 16 games the Barons have allowed only one power play goal their last 41 times they've been at a man disadvantage, a sizzling 97.6 percent penalty kill clip.
The only thing missing was OKC had scored only three power-play goals its previous 13 games but matched that total in one period in Saturday's playoff-clinching win, including two in the final minutes of the second period.
"You want to definitely have that going," said Jonathan Cheechoo, who also scored two goals. "A lot of times the penalty kill and the power play is what can win or lose you games in the playoffs. It was nice to get a few. We just have to keep that rolling."
Cheechoo scored the first power-play goal midway through the second period to break a 1-1 tie.
With OKC in a five-on-three advantage, Cheechoo scored his second goal with 29 seconds left in the period. C.J. Stretch scored another power play goal with :01 left for a commanding 4-1 lead.
Cheechoo, a 32-year-old veteran who led the NHL in goals seven years ago, signed with the Barons after the NHL lockout ended. OKC needed a scorer after four young Oilers stars returned to Edmonton.
The Barons are 9-0 when Cheechoo scores a goal and are 14-1 when he scores a point.
"We want to ride that lucky (stat) all the way through," Cheechoo said. "I guess I just have to keep up my part and keep scoring."
VandeVelde, who scored back-to-back, game-winning overtime goals last year against San Antonio in a second-round playoff series, scored his fourth and fifth goals of the season.
"Vandy was a big part of our success last year and down the stretch this year," Nelson said. "You like to see a guy who works the trenches hard, and does a good job with the penalty kill get rewarded. Hopefully he's getting hot at the right time."

Fossil fuel economy is far from becoming extinct
Those who believe the world economy can be sustained with a quick switch to renewable energy sources are engaged in pipe dreams. Ditto for those who believe the world is quickly running out of fossil fuels — or for those who actually believed President Obama's State of the Union speech pledge to make America more energy independent. "Pipe dreams" is an apt term because the fossil fuel commodity with the most promising future is moved chiefly by pipeline. It's natural gas. Jim Mulva, chief executive officer of ConocoPhillips, used the term "pipe dreams" in a remarkable speech last week at an energy conference in Houston. He also used the term "hydrocarbon deniers." This is apt in light of the derision of climate change skeptics. They're called "global warming deniers." Mulva isn't out to debunk global warming. In fact, he believes U.S. energy policy should be coordinated with environmental policy, meshing economic realities with the encouragement of cleaner fuels. One economic reality is that world population will rise 35 percent to 9.2 billion by 2050. "It will need more energy, not less, despite higher efficiency and conservation," Mulva said, "And tomorrow's energy must remain affordable." Carbon-based fuels, he said, "must keep carrying the load." But those fuels can be cleaner. Natural gas needs to be increasingly part of an energy mix that includes wind, solar, nuclear, oil and — at least in the short term — coal. Obama made a commitment to nuclear energy as well as opening up offshore tracts for oil and gas exploration. In fact, the administration is delaying the latter well beyond a reasonable standard. Mulva said that of the 2.4 billion acres of mineral properties the federal government holds, only about 3 percent has been leased for energy development. The "hydrocarbon deniers" believe economic growth can continue apace without bringing additional oil and gas to the market. This pipe dream goes against all logic. What the world can do is start using less coal and oil while increasing reliance on natural gas. Ah, but aren't we running out of gas? That question is the stuff of another pipe dream. The planet's "conventional" gas reserves of 6,500 trillion cubic feet, Mulva said, are enough to meet our needs for 60 years at current levels of demand. Unconventional deposits, such as those found in shale formations, increase the reserves to more than 38,000 trillion cubic feet. Is that reserve estimate a pipe dream in itself? We think not. As technologies develop, the estimates may actually prove to be low. Regardless, the fossil fuel economy is far from extinct. It's time to stop denying that fact and fashion policies that would pipe cleaner fuels to consumers rather than Washington piping its dreamy fantasies to the people.

Ding dong the blog is deadPosted: 04/08/2011 Filed under: Uncategorized 8 Comments
Hi foxy mamas and papas (or total fuggers. I have no idea who reads this scrawl),
I've decided to ditch this blog. I dunno, writing about my life for nigh on a decade is leaving me tired and outta puff.
I mean, you've heard it all before, man. I know I have!
Instead, if you wish to find me, I'll be over on RAD MY WORLD where I will mention things I LIKE with irritating winsomeness and vim. Soon, I will add books and otherwise intelligent brain-boxy things rather than STUFF.
Don't worry, while I am a bastion of style, I will never mention anything overtly high-end designer-y, unless it is in some way completely mental and thus attracts my keen interest. I am over blogs salivating over stupidly expensive things, I really am.
Yet, I play my cards right, maybe some sucker will send me a Sky Puppet, no questions asked!
For those who are feelin' kinda sporty, watch me Run! Forest! Run! over on STREAK OF GENIUS.
There, you can sit rivetted for 15 months, as I train for the 2012 New York Marathon! My coach is the splendiferous Julia Jones of Up and Running.
Yes, I'm officially entered, I'm representing a fantastic charity, and dammit if I don't WIN that sucker in a storyline worthy of That's Incredible!
Right now, Streak of Genius is a list of stats and grumbles, but I'll start to put some more razzle dazzle into it all personable-like. You know me.
Catch you on the flipside.

Getting lipPosted: 14/07/2011 Filed under: animal kingdom 1 Comment
Man, the thing about almost-three-year-olds is the constant LIP. After 34 months of relentless vocab building, these pint-sized creeps now have an answer for everything! Naturally, I can only stand back and admire their prowess.
About 10 minutes ago, I totally blew my top when they threw pencils all over the floor and started kicking them around.
Here's some of the pencils. And some crumbs, now that I'm looking up close.
"STOP THAT!" I commanded with admirable authority. "PICK THEM UP NOW!"
They scampered off to the neutral territory that is the replica ball chair (which, three years after its purchase, has only JUST lost its tangy glue-gun odour that sent the occupant on a magic carpet ride if he/she sat in it too long.)
"No, we can't pick them up!" they replied
"YOU'VE GOT ARMS!!!" I pointed out, helpfully.
"Oh no, we don't have arms!" said Saffron, hiding hers behind her back.
"We've got MONSTER LEGS!" retorted Jasper, dangling his four 'monster legs' in some sort of menacingly monstrous manner.
"HMRGH! WHATEVER!" I replied, reaching for my iPhone to capture this touchingly hilarious moment.
"Hahaha. You say 'HMMRGH!'" they sang/taunted.
And, at that point, I retreated to the computer.
An brief but open love letter to SydneyPosted: 08/06/2011 Filed under: Out and about 3 Comments
Far out, I love Sydney.
Yeah yeah, Melbourne and Sydney are apples and oranges, chalk and cheese, Gaga and Hawking. Comparisons are futile.
Even so, you never saw Ken Done draw a pastel-bright Crayola-caddied scrawl of the Westgate Bridge, did you? Or possums fighting and pissing on tourists in Fitzroy Gardens? Or some young black-spectacle-wearing nonchalant bloke in Brunswick sporting a Ned Kelly beard that may or may not be polyester and attached by a string of elastic (that you just PRAY won't get caught in the chain on his fixie)?
No, mofos, YOU NEVER SAW KEN DONE DRAW ANY OF THESE THINGS because, when it comes to scribbly pastel-bright pictures printed on t-shirts, duvet covers, make-up bags, tote bags, bumbags — all rediscovered and worn ironically by a certain brand of douchebag — Sydney wins in the flash stakes HANDS DOWN.
I've was up there twice over the course of a week, first with my mate Loony, where we stayed in a luxury hotel, sang Kajagoogoo songs in a dingy but excellent karaoke booth, and marvelled at the abundance of available taxi cabs. While all of those things were of course enough to drag us from our young families and hot-foot it up to the Harbour City squealing "YIPPY-YI-YO!", the real drawcard was seeing The Cure at the Sydney Opera House. If you want to know more about that phenomenal experience, I reviewed it over here.
Later in the week, Tim, the children and I returned to see Yo Gabba Gabba! (again at the Opera House) and it was, in a word, awesome.
While I have loads to say about all that, I am a bit skinny on time right now. And so, here is one picture that sums up my second trip there with my family.
It is the first in a collection of family tourist trap photos that I CAN'T WAIT to line our walls with! And, that mermaid nuzzling the upper quadrant of my thigh? I had to let her down gently.
Lawd almighty …Posted: 19/05/2011 Filed under: Work 1 Comment
I was in a rotten mood yesterday, as evidenced by that previous blog entry. I feel moderately embarrassed, particularly as I read back over it and realise it doesn't make a great deal of sense. Was my ire up OR WHAT?
Anyhow, I'm at work today and feeling relatively confident that the children have the hang of using a toilet.
They were thrilled to bits when their lovely nanny arrived this morning, clearly thinking THANK GOD SOMEONE WILL LET US OUT OF THE HOUSE, THAT WOMAN AND HER INCESSANT QUESTIONING IS DRIVING US MAD!
"Do you need to do a wee? How about a poo? Are you sure? Really? Are you sure? How about now?"
I have never heard two year olds sound so exasperated.
"NO! I! DON'T!" they growled indignantly.
In other news, Tim and I are starting a small-time Mom and Pop business together. It has absolutely nothing to do with words or technology, our usual bag of tricks.
We will be purveyors of something wonderful and extraordinary. It has a bit to do with textiles and super awesome design. The best thing is, these wonderful and extraordinary things we're producing will make those who purchase them EVEN RADDER THAN THEY COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.
I know almost nothing about the area we are getting into, but I do know what I like, and have consulted an ultra radical person or two on their learned opinions.
Hopefully it doesn't result in wrack and ruin.
I haven't been excited about anything like this for a LONG LONG TIME.
I think it's going to be a GOOD THING. Who said that first? The Fine Young Cannibals, I think.
Oversharing and the hatersPosted: 18/05/2011 Filed under: As seen elsewhere, Feedback, oversharing 10 Comments
Hello friends!
Herein follows a ranty raver!
So. I read this article about parents who over-share with keen interest, especially the comments section.
I'm sure that anyone who reads anything Fairfax publishes online will agree that the vitriol people spew in the comments sections is its own brand of BEASTLY. I often feel sorry for the journalists who venture forth in that forum. If in, oh, a million years or so, someone scoops up some of that bile from the comments section, harvests it in a petrie dish, and grows a new crop of humanoids, I'll be glad that I am long dead and not have to suffer breathing the same air as those motherfuckers, that's for sure.
Anyway, the article, if you can be bothered reading it, basically talks about parents (which seems to be code for MOTHERS, specifically) who bore all and sundry with chat about their genius sproglets, especially on Facebook. There's also a subtext of one-upmanship, bragging, and all manner of other stuff that I've never experienced in my circle of friends-who-happen-to-be-mothers, anyway.
I tend to talk about my kids on Facebook (when I have an activated account, 30% of the time) and figure that those who are disinterested in these tiny triumphs will have me hidden in their feeds.
Really, that's all it requires.
Over on Fairfax, people are droning on about their "facquaintances" (a new term I'd never heard of) that bore and gross them out with tales of kids toileting habits.
First of all, if they're not your mate, maybe they shouldn't be your friend on Facebook? And secondly, for that very same reason, stop being such a two-faced mongrel! If you consider them nothing more than a facquaintance, hide or de-friend them! And thirdly, I agree, PHOTOS of nappy contents are unnecessary, as are lengthy descriptions of any bodily emissions.
On that note:
Currently, I am toilet training the twins. In the spirit of not-oversharing, and maintaining the privacy of my children, I'm not going to regale you with hideous tales. Not in public, but do feel free to email me and I will cut loose in the spirit of a television-wielding rockstar perched upon a windowsill at Chateau Marmont.
Frankly, it feels a bit Bleak Street at the moment, stuck at home amid this intense experience. And it's precisely the time I feel like reaching out and chating to mates online. Or just throwing something out on the 'Book, hoping someone will respond because I haven't spoken to any adults other than my partner for three days being bound HOME and zeroed in to the GODDAMN POTTY, like some type of messed up HOUSE ARREST.
So, in the unlikely event that you are one of those haters that thinks parents are boring and talk (which is somehow constituted as BRAG) about their children RELENTLESSLY, bear in mind that perhaps they are just isolated, lonely, and reaching out for someone to chat back about something/anything.
Isn't that the whole point of Facebook, anyway?
And, with that said, yes, a certain proportion of parents are just dullsome fuckers and most likely were before they had kids. Admittedly, someone as unfathomably fascinating as myself has found it quite difficult to find new mother friends in kiddie-specific circles, but every now and then a kindred spirit comes along and we totally ROCK THAT CRAZY SHIT.
Streak of Genius: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love to RunPosted: 09/05/2011 Filed under: Exercise 2 Comments
Yesterday, I completed my first ever running race, the 4 km Mother's Day Classic, in just 22 minutes and 1 second.
I placed 64th in my age group. If we're talking medals, I reckon 64th place should be presented with a well-chewed gob of Juicy Fruit gum.
64th is THAT FREAKIN' GOOD.
Frankly, I don't know how many 30-39 year old women participated in the race, positively OODLES by my quick headcount of the pack. All up there were 5,374 folks in the race and I finished 773rd. I was also the 361st woman across the line.
As I galloped toward the finish, I was volleying air punches like a Brigadier of Air Punches might. Y'see, I may have very little to back it up, but those close to me know that I am nothing if not A COMPETITIVE LITTLE CREEP.
So anyway, while I have been dabbling in running on and mostly off for about a year, right now I am being coached by the magnificent Julia Jones of Up and Running Online Running Courses.
Julia and I are working on getting me to run a half marathon sometime within the next 12 months, hopefully, and then …
my next goal?
Well, a half marathon's only half, innit?
Go on, dislodge your fingernails from that wailing cliffhanger and tune in to my running blog, STREAK OF GENIUS.
There, you can BEHOLD!
if you live for a world of regret …

A Look At CBO Projections For Medicaid and CHIP
This brief examines the latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projections for federal Medicaid and CHIP spending over the 2014-2024 period. CBO's budget projections, also known as "baseline" projections, reflect CBO's best judgment about how the economy and other factors will affect federal revenues and spending under existing laws. The brief also examines CBO estimates of the coverage effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on Medicaid and CHIP enrollment and spending. Understanding the CBO baseline estimates is important because they are the basis to evaluate the federal cost and coverage implications of proposed federal policy changes.

Public-assistance bills put Oklahoma GOP members in a tough spot
WHEN worlds collide:
The Republicans who control the Legislature have introduced a slew of bills to ensure that people getting public assistance aren't gaming the system. Yet Americans are wary of the perceived Republican indifference to the plight of the truly needy.
Based on anecdotal evidence about "welfare queens" and such, who hasn't been frustrated by stories about the "needy" finding ways to soak benevolent taxpayers? But based on scientific polling, taxpayers aren't so keen to pull the plug on welfare programs. And they don't think Republicans show enough compassion.
An Associated Press roundup of legislation found nearly a dozen bills filed by Republican Oklahoma lawmakers to modify public-assistance programs. These include work requirements, means-testing and denying benefits to people with drug convictions. House Speaker T.W. Shannon, R-Lawton, summed up the mood with his comment that compassion should be defined not by the number of people getting assistance but by the number of people leaving the public dole because they've bettered themselves.
It's hard to disagree with this, but advocates for social programs tend to put all welfare reforms into one mean-spirited basket. They demonize Republicans for proposing them. In this effort they have support from the folks who pay for welfare programs with their tax dollars.
Arthur C. Brooks, president of a free-enterprise think tank, points to polls showing that Republican candidates don't connect to many voters. They're perceived to care only about "the wealthy." In a television interview last Sunday, 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney blamed his defeat in part on a failure to connect with less-prosperous voters.
His opponent made the connection between Romney and "the wealthy" quite clear. This may have been the single most important factor in getting a second term for a president whose disastrous management of the economy has affected the poor disproportionately. Class envy works for The Great Divider. It was the main thing this underqualified candidate had going for him in 2008.
Brooks, writing in The Wall Street Journal, said Republicans hurt themselves when the package of moral values they push doesn't include caring for the most vulnerable. Brooks is hardly sympathetic to liberals, who talk "a big game about helping the bottom half, which will have catastrophic results once the safety net is no longer affordable."
The core argument Republicans need to make is that Barack Obama's Democrats are gradually destroying the safety net with irresponsible policies. This is an intellectual argument that won't easily translate into votes. As long as Obama and company can paint Republicans as uncaring aristocrats, they will suffer at the ballot box. But in some races they also benefit.
Which brings us back to Oklahoma and the public-assistance crackdown. Shannon and other lawmakers hear from voters who feel cheated by a system they pay for but which doesn't benefit them directly. They've seen (or think they've seen) instances of food stamp recipients behaving badly. So bills are filed to crack down on perceived welfare fraud.
Rep. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, is the author of one such bill. It would bar benefits to those with $5,000 or more in "liquid assets." He said he's heard from constituents who "often have to resort to bologna sandwiches for lunch" while welfare recipients who've made poor choices are subsidized by taxpayer dollars. In other words, at the anecdotal level, taxpayers are doing the math. At another level, though, Americans are rejecting what Brooks calls the faulty moral arithmetic of the GOP platform.
Somehow, Republicans must convince voters that the fuzzy math of the Democrats means we'll all be having bologna for lunch and the poor will be worse off than they are now.

Soboulde Group
Rougui, sitting on the far right with her right hand raised , is a producer and seller of traditional soap, and the featured borrower. She is married and the mother of 4 children, 3 of whom are boys. Despite her 62 years of age, she remains a dynamic woman. To make 36 bars of soap, for example, she needs 25 litres of oil, 2 kg of « khémé », a chemical substance, and 125g of flour. The finished product is sold for 125 francs per unit. This new loan will allow Rougui to buy a large quantity of the ingredients she needs to make soap. Her sales will mostly be made in the village, with some soap being sold at the weekly markets of the surrounding villages. The profits will enable her to actively participate in the payment of the family expenses, including the educational expenses of her 11-year-old daughter and her 9-year-old son.
Madame Rougui transformatrice et vendeuse de savon traditionnel est l'emprunteuse vedette (assise à extrême droite avec la main droite levée), elle est mariée, mère de quatre enfants dont trois garçons.
Malgré ses soixante-deux ans elle reste très dynamique, par exemple pour fabriquer trente-six savons il lui faut : vingt-cinq litre d'huile, deux kilogramme de « khémé » substance chimique et cent vingt-cinq gramme de farine.
Le produit fini est venu à cent vingt-cinq francs CFA l'unité. Ce nouveau prêt lui permettra d'acheter en quantité les intrants pour la fabrication de savon. La vente se fera en grande partie dans le village et le reste dans les marchés hebdomadaires des villages environnants.
Les bénéfices lui permettront de participer activement aux charges familiales et à la scolarité de sa fille de onze ans et du garçon de neuf ans.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 2005 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture today announced it will consider written requests for extensions of the time period for raw cane sugar shipments to enter the United States, against the U.S. fiscal year 2005 import tariff-rate quota (TRQ), in response to market disruptions caused by Hurricane Katrina.
Sugar from a qualified supplying country that has a share of the fiscal year 2005 raw sugar TRQ would be permitted to enter U.S. Customs territory no later than Oct. 11, 2005, a maximum extension of 11 days past the previous ending date, Sept. 30, 2005.
This announcement does not change the level of any U.S. sugar import tariff-rate quotas, and will apply only to raw cane sugar (not refined sugar). A request for an extension must be made in writing to Ron Lord, Deputy Director, Import Policies and Programs Division, Foreign Agricultural Service, firstname.lastname@example.com, or fax a request to (202) 720-0876.

I am trying to remove the prefix "Archive by category" in the trail when viewing a category page... same would be for tags (though I am not using that taxonomy so it is not an issue at the moment).
I looked for the term "Archive by category" throughout the whole code of the plugin to adjust the wording (actually I just want to remove it) but could not find it
I tried disabling "Post Hierarchy Display" in the post types settings but nothing happens :(
Can you help me with this? It should not be so difficult once found the line in the code :(
Thanks so much

Iraqi Sunnis Say They Killed Al-Qaida Leader
Today, reports surfaced that the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, had been killed in fighting between Sunni insurgent groups.
The United States did not confirm the reports, and a coalition of insurgent groups claimed al-Masri is alive. But the incident points toward the escalating tensions between al-Qaida in Iraq and other Sunni insurgent groups.
Political scientist Marc Lynch tells Robert Siegel that last October, al-Masri's group fueled those tensions last October by declaring hegemony over the other Sunni insurgent groups.
Lynch, of Williams College, follows Sunni insurgent groups through statements and videos on their Web sites.

Tense Israeli-Hamas cease-fire holding in Gaza

November 22, 2012
An Israeli tank maneuvers at an army deployment area near the Israel-Gaza Strip border on November 22.
Reports suggested a cease-fire agreement between Israel and the Islamist movement Hamas appeared to be holding on November 22.
The break in violence in Gaza and Israel that came into effect overnight ended eight days of fighting between the two sides.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government was "giving the cease-fire a chance" but was prepared for the eventuality that it might collapse.
"We are prepared to act if the calm is violated," Netanyahu warned. "The objectives that we set for the operation have been achieved. I know that there are citizens who expect an even tougher response. We are prepared for that too. We choose when, against whom, and how to act, as we did in this operation. Now we are giving the cease-fire a chance."
Gaza's Hamas prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh, declared the cease-fire a "victory" for that Islamist movement.
"The resistance has changed the rules of the game with the occupation and it has disrupted their security and military calculations," Haniyeh said. "I say to the Palestinian people in Gaza, the West Bank, and everywhere, and to the entire Arab and Islamic world: After this victory, the idea of invading Gaza is over and will never come back, God willing."
The cease-fire agreement was brokered by Egypt and backed by the United States.
It was announced by Egyptian Foreign Minister Muhammad Kamel Amr at a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Cairo on November 21.
Under the deal, Israel agreed to end all hostilities, while the Palestinians agreed to stop rocket attacks against Israel.
Israel would also begin talks on easing restrictions on the movement of people and goods across the Gaza borders.
Some 160 Palestinians, including dozens of children, have been killed since the violence began eight days ago.
An Israeli soldier wounded in an earlier mortar attack died on November 22, bringing to six the number of Israeli casualties.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Many of the items sent to consumers in boxes these days are little more than junk mail. But BBB warns a growing number of spam emails are designed to inflict harm. While it may seem like this topic comes up frequently, unfortunately, scammers find a way to catch users off guard.
Right after the Target store hacking of some 40 million credit and debit cards, BBB issued a warning about emails claiming to be from Target but were disguised as malware designed to steal identity information. The warning was issued in light of all the scam emails on internet right now. The hard part is telling the difference between a legitimate email from a vendor you do subscribe to and one that looks like the vendor but isn't.
Here's a sampling: News reports stated right after Christmas an email was sent claiming to be from the Apple Security Center seeking account verification information. But the email address of the sender was not Apple so clicking on the link may have infected recipient's computer. So how do you know?
Check for misspellings and grammatical errors. Silly mistakes and sloppy copy – for example, an area code that doesn't match an address – often are giveaways that the site is a scam. Messaging like, "Just tell us where to send this $1,100"or "a delivery was cancelled because of problems with the mailing addressed and to please provide a correct address" is another giveaway. Companies typically do not use this type of language.
A recent trend in scam emails are asking users to select a link on a state where they are to send the money or to send the correct address. This link will then lead to a site where a thief will use the information for their own use. It isn't wise to select the links or open attachments in emails you aren't familiar with especially ones you haven't solicited from. When in doubt, check with the company before you respond to any website that asks you to enter personal identifying information.
Bottom line, unless you've done business with the company or are on a mailing list with them – do not click on email links even if they appear to be from legitimate companies. Far too many times these days, it's all just a scam.
Start with a business you can trust. Visit bbb.org.
