By Mike Clark, USA TODAY
Charlie Wilson is on the warpath, an English woman in India goes down the wrong path, and Ginger Rogers takes the path of least resistance.
Charlie Wilson's War
Now 76, director Mike Nichols still rocks, though also credit Aaron Sorkin's script for blueprinting last year's smartest comedy.
Back story: Wilson (Tom Hanks) was the boozily amorous Texas congressman who — aided by socialite Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts), rogue CIA officer Gust Avrakotos (Oscar nominee Philip Seymour Hoffman) and $300 million in Pentagon cash — helped finance the CIA's Afghan operation against the Soviets. The film is fast and funny, with somber undertones; marvel at how Amy Adams owns a minor role.
Extras, extras: Two shorts, including one with the real Wilson and Herring. (When you see her, Roberts' performance seems better than it originally did.) We're told that Wilson was OK with filmmakers making him out to be as debauched as they desired. Now, there's a character.
A Passage to India
An intimate epic about Brit colonialism, from E.M. Forster's classic novel, that isn't (scripter/director/editor David Lean's intentions) totally anti-British. Though you do sometimes want to give these stiff upper lips a pie in their faces.
Back story:Lawrence of Arabia's Lean was off-screen for 14 years when he returned for his swan song about what did or didn't happen in an Indian cave to a British visitor (Judy Davis). Out of 11 nominations, Peggy Ashcroft and the score won Oscars, though I still think male lead Victor Banerjee got hosed when he wasn't nominated.
Extras, extras: Commentary by producer Richard Goodwin, who also is on some crew/supporting cast look-backs (actor Nigel Havers, whose character is a pain in the movie, is thoroughly charming here). Plus a robust Lean is interviewed in 1984.
The Major and the Minor
Billy Wilder's Hollywood directorial debut still has lots going for it, including Robert Benchley's classic line to Ginger Rogers: "Why don't you get out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini?"
Back story: Sick of being propositioned by lechers, Rogers poses as a 12-year-old to manage an affordable train trip back home, setting off a string of misunderstandings when she lands in the compartment of an army major (Ray Milland). Though it was once blasphemous to suggest it, this breezy farce no longer seems disproportionately funnier than its 1955 Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis remake You're Never Too Young (one of their best, with Lewis in the Rogers role). That's Ginger's real-life mother, Lela, in the lovely finale.
Extras, extras: Introduction by Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne.
Also on DVD this week:
Blast of Silence
Filmed for the cost of about two Snickers bars and given a bizarre voice-over narration in the second person, this seductively weird pioneer independent feature is the ultimate in grimy period atmospherics. Director/co-writer Allen Baron plays a Cleveland hit man whose year-end "business" necessitates strolls down New York neighborhoods of the day, which, in a cool DVD extra, are revisited in recent photographs. Oddities abound: The narration was written by future Midnight Cowboy scripter Waldo Salt; Baron's super-sleazy gun dealer is played by Larry Tucker, future co-writer of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice; and the movie was somehow picked up for distribution by Universal-International, then home to Rock Hudson and Sandra Dee. Later, Baron directed lots of TV, including episodes of The Brady Bunch (nothing like using your past work experience for training).
She Done Him Wrong
Mae West says, "Come up sometime and see me" to a 28-year-old named Cary Grant, making his first big impression in his eighth screen appearance. Very famous — and included in 2005's mostly juicy tome 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die— the adaptation of West's stage hit Diamond Lil helped teetering Paramount survive during the Depression. Good tunes, strong chemistry and a fast 66 minutes.
More highlights
•The Savages (* * 1/2, 2007, Fox, R, $28): You can expect Philip Seymour Hoffman and Oscar-nominated Laura Linney to be good in anything, though here they do more for director Tamara Jenkins' Oscar-nominated script than it does for them. The two play persnickety siblings united by the mental deterioration of their father (Philip Bosco), a subject handled more adroitly by last year's splendid Away From Her. Though, in fairness, this movie works a different, more sardonic track.
•Cloverfield (* * 1/2, 2008, Paramount, PG-13, $30): Shrewdly marketed into a $166 million worldwide box office hit, here's one for those who want to see a mysterious behemoth monster eat and stomp young New Yorkers who like to record each other on cellphones, which may explain the $166 million. It isn't the Manhattan Mel Torme sang about, but the cheese is passably edible.
•A Date With Judy (* * 1/2, 1948, Warner, unrated, $20): We'd have a routine '40s Santa Barbara teen comedy if Wallace Beery (in his penultimate movie) weren't dementedly cast as Jane Powell's father; if Carmen Miranda didn't give Beery rumba lessons; if 15-year-old Elizabeth Taylor didn't play Powell's friend/rival; if Xavier Cugat weren't at their country club; if Robert Stack didn't play a heartthrob soda jerk; and if all of them didn't sing It's a Most Unusual Day in a finale where Powell's soprano can't quite drown out Beery.

Serves 3-4
* 300g linguine pasta
* 200g sugar snap peas, trimmed
* 2 tbsp corn or vegetable oil
* 1 tsp black mustard seeds
* 12–15 curry leaves
* 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
* 1 large red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
* 1 large onion, finely chopped
* 1 tsp salt
* ½ tsp sugar
* 1½ tsp red chilli powder
* 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
* 2.5cm piece of ginger, finely chopped
* 1 tbsp kokum or tamarind (optional)
* 60ml coconut milk
* 500g raw king prawns, peeled (if peeling them yourself, you will need to start with approximately 750g)
* a handful of basil leaves
* ½ tsp cracked black pepper
* ½ tsp dried red chilli flakes
* sea salt flakes (optional)
1. Cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water, according to the instructions on the pack. Add the sugar snap peas for the last minute or so of cooking time. Drain and reserve.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan, add the mustard seeds and curry leaves and allow to crackle and pop. Toss in the garlic and chopped red chilli and cook over a fairly high heat for about 30 seconds without letting the garlic brown.
3. Once the garlic has softened, add the onion and sauté over a high heat for five minutes or so until the onions start to change colour.
4. Add the salt, sugar and chilli powder, stir to mix well, then add the tomatoes and cook for another four to five minutes until the moisture is absorbed and mixture starts to turn glossy.
5. Add the ginger, kokum or tamarind, if using, and the coconut milk and mix well. Tip in the prawns and cook over a high heat, stirring frequently, for about three to four minutes until they turn translucent and pink.
6. Toss the pasta and sugar snaps into the prawn mixture. Tear in the basil leaves, stir, and season with pepper and chilli flakes.
7. Check the seasoning; if adding salt, use sea salt flakes.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I am doing a 'dirt' half marathon which is basically up hill for the first half and down hill the second half. This is my first half marathon for nearly 25 years.
I have recently run about 1hr50 for 13.1 whilst running a 15 mile steady run across much hillier ground than the event is over. On this basis I am going to set out to run at 1h50 pace for the first half of the dirt half marathon and something like 1hr35 for the second half.
This is on the 17th November. I am then probably doing the London marathon. My first marathon. There are many training programs on runners world and I am not quite certain what pace marathon to aim for. They are mainly 16 week programs which therefore starts about first week of Jan 2013. My running is still improving from when I started 13 weeks ago so I am uncertain whether to embark on a more ambitious program based on what I think I will run on the day in 5/6 months time from now, or whether I should base it on the dirt half marathon time (albeit off road and probably more hilly), so that's one question I don't know the answer to.
The other question is that after the November 17th half marathon, I have 6 weeks 'to kill' between that and the start of the 16 week London marathon program. What do do with this time? I don't want to 'sit still' and want to push on so that I go fast in the marathon. I did think of trying to do another half around Christmas/New year but there isn't one on - and I can't find a six week program. Any ideas gratefully received!
Just carry on running doing whatever ever millage was at the latter end of the HM programme. You'll still carry on improving.
I'm doing the same HM, fingers crossed for nice weather : )
Find a flatter half marathon around the 16th December and go out at 1:40 pace. See what time you finish in and then you have a better target time for the full marathon.
Ian, thanks for your advice. I am thinking I should have a week relatively easy and then do the 10-12th weeks of the plan again to fit into Tim's suggestion of doing a flat half marathon - which I have located! - and then basing my London marathon plan on that one.
Thanks for your advice too Tim.

EUREKA -- The Eureka Sequoia Garden Club will meet Friday at First Covenant Church in the Carriage House, 2526 J St. The meeting starts at 11 a.m. with the program, and will adjourn at 1:30 p.m. A sack lunch will be held at noon. Refreshments and dessert will be provided; bring your own sandwich.
Just in time for California Native Plant Week, the third week in April, the program will feature Donna Wildearth, owner of Garden Vision Landscape Design, who will discuss the importance of using native plants in your landscape.
Through her experience, Wildearth has developed a recommended list of native plants for landscape use and suggestions for where to obtain them. She has been gardening for 35 years, a professional landscape designer for 14 years and has taught classes in plant identification and landscape design at College of the Redwoods and through the Humboldt State University OLLI program.
Prior to the meeting, from 10 to 11 a.m., there will be two concurrent Floral Design Workshops. The first workshop, for beginners (bring your own materials), will focus on completing lesson No. 4 in the workbook, Line-Mass Design.
The second workshop, for advanced designers, will create "Blossoms-A-Plenty," using Parallel Design. Also at 10 a.m., the Garden Therapy Committee will continue with their project.
At noon, the owners of "Garden Jewels on Harris Street" have been invited to attend the meeting to receive Certificates of Recognition for their use of plant material, design principles and maintenance of their front yards.
The winning front yards include those of Apostolic Faith Church, 272 Harris St.; Professional Office Building, 831 Harris St., including offices of Drs. Mark S. Harris, Thomas F. Vert, Jason F. Wolven and Joanne Marcuz; and Thelma McFarland, 1400 Harris St. These landscapes were selected by club members using a standard judging list and were featured in the Times-Standard on April 10.
Visitors are invited to attend the program and to participate in the flower arranging workshops.
The Eureka Sequoia Garden Club, founded in 1967, is a member of the California Garden Clubs Inc. and the Humboldt District of CGCI. Its goals are to create and promote interest in horticulture, gardening and floral and landscape design; to encourage and engage in civic beautification and the improvement of roadsides; to aid in protecting California's native plants, wildlife and natural beauty; and to promote, and participate in, projects and programs that conserve natural resources.
For more information on the club, its activities and programs, call President Mary Lou Goodwin at 442-1387.

The 2006 Phoenix winner will have a fair shot at another Arizona title on the basis of a qualifying-best pass of 4.029 at 316.08 mph.
Don Schumacher Racing Funny Car driver Tommy Johnson Jr. is in the midst of an incredibly memorable weekend at the CARQUEST Auto Parts NHRA Nationals at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park near Phoenix. On the final day of qualifying for the second of 24 events on the 2014 tour, Johnson was surrounded by a plethora of families associated with Make-A-Wish, and he qualified their namesake Terry Chandler-sponsored car in the No. 2 spot with a stunning pass that delighted all.
The 2006 Phoenix winner will have a fair shot at another Arizona title on the basis of a qualifying-best pass of 4.029 at 316.08 mph. Johnson made the thrilling run in the very last round of qualifying and moved all the way up from the No. 11 position to No. 2, second only to John Force who ran a 3.99 in the Friday evening session.
Johnson, who will race Tony Pedregon in the first round of eliminations on Sunday, began qualifying with an unsatisfying 7.351 but followed up in the second session with a strong and straight 4.095 at just over 308mph. Saturday dawned new, and Johnson blasted to a 4.076 at 308.85 in the early session before improving to the 4.02 that nearly bested his personal record.
"It was a great day. Everybody from Make-A-Wish was so enthused, so excited. The kids seemed really, really happy to be here and see the car run," said Johnson. "There was a little bit of nervousness because I didn't know how they would react to these cars that are so loud and fast. But after that first run, I came back to the pits and every single one of those kids was super excited. It was off the charts. It made me feel good that they all loved it. They thought it was the best thing they'd ever seen, and that was really cool for me to get to share this with them. We'll see what we can do out there tomorrow to keep them smiling."

Here are some things I'd like you to know:
+ We are going on another vacation this year. !!!! To Denver to visit the same dear friends we visited last Spring. After feeling like vacations were a distant memory in that phase of we have two babies under two years old, two vacations feels like we won the lottery. We're bringing the kids and we are so looking forward to a long a weekend away.
+ ALSO I got to have a long girls' weekend in Austin this year. I know. It's crazy. Plus the kids were sick as I was literally driving down the road. Matt called and said both girls just threw up on themselves in their carseats. #cringe Before you think I'm a horrible mom, I offered to turn around three times but my darling husband told me to go on. Thankful for him and my mother in law who helped out all weekend.
+ Matt and I have taken to having (almost) weekly lunch dates at our favorite authentic Mexican food place. He picks me up from work on my lunch hour and off we go. It's so nice having that time, just the two of us to chat. Also the Wednesday special: puerco en salsa verde is ahhhhmazing. I get it every single time.
+ I scratched Run a Half Marathon off my bucket list. It truly was an amazing experience. I wish I would've written about it much sooner when the memories and endorphins were fresh. I crossed the finish line in just under 2 hours and 10 minutes, and I was pleased as punch with that time. My average pace was about 9:40 and I just cannot say what a great experience the entire thing was – from training, to crossing the finish line, to seeing all the runners and supporters, to my sweet family waiting for me at the end. I'm grateful for it all.
+ In keeping with one little word for 2016 I embarked on a new business adventure with Rodan and Fields. I've been intrigued by this company for years and this was the year I took the plunge. First, I love quality of the products, I love how my skin feels, I love helping people feel great about their own skin, and I'm also loving the business side of things. I'm stretching and growing and being challenged in ways that are so new to me. Of course I'd love to share with you if you are at all interested.
How are you? It's been a while.

beauty kit. These are my most essential products
As stated on the packaging, this affordable scrub is made with natural ingredients, sort of similar to the St.Ives's apricot scrub I've used a few years back. Packaged in a white tube with a green flip open cap, the scrub is lasting even if you use twice a week. Said as value for money, you can easily pack it for travelling but remember, not to be hand carried but sashed in the luggage because it comes in a 150ml tube. The other option of course is repacking it a smaller container or bottle if you really need to scrub your face while on the go. This scent free and creamy white textured scrub started me off with high expectation but after using it for the first time on my wet face, I realise that I have to be gentle because its coarse apricot granules are a little harsh for my combination-sensitive skin.
For those who strongly believe in no other except natural and herbal skin care products, you will be pleased with this scrub, but remember, again said, avoid forceful scrubbing. For me, I will still treasure it but whether I buy again is a question mark.LIKE nava-k's facebook page for other lifestyle reviews.

SEA (Guggenheim Shipping ETF) offers an objective long entry on this break above the yellow downtrend line. T1 (14.18) is the sole profit target at this time with a suggested stop below 11.90. It is highly recommended to view the both of the recent shipping stock video posted below if you have not already done so in addition to any other notes that were recently posted regarding diversity & position sizing within the shipping sector, especially if you plan to trade some of the individual stocks covered in those videos in lieu of, or in addition to SEA. More conservative traders & investors that would like exposure to the shipping sector might opt to keep it simple & just stick with SEA, which holds a basket of shipping related stocks and as such, provides for risk mitigation via diversity among various stocks.
SEA (Shipping ETF) Trade Idea
One Comment
rsotc April 19, 2016 12:32 pm at 12:32 pm
A very valid question that I received regarding the low volume in SEA, along with my reply:
Q: Randy,Volume is 100k, sometimes less. Do you personally invest in these things?
A: While it is typically a good idea to shy away from securities that trade such low volume, I don't find that to be the case with most ETFs/ETPs, such as SEA. Despite the low volume, SEA typically trades with a relatively tight 1 – 2 cent spread. It seems that most ETF companies work to minimize the spreads on their more thinly traded ETPs as I would image it benefits them to do so, lest very few would want to trade or invest in those ETPs. Also keep in mind that unlike, say a thinly traded stock in which the "true valuation" can be very subjective & also dependent on a roughly equal offset of buyers & sellers at all times, the value of an ETF is simply the sum of its parts (components) at any given point in time & typically, the components of an ETF is very liquid stocks so the value of the ETF should be easily calculated throughout the trading day, allowing for very small spreads even if the ETF itself is thinly traded. I could be wrong but I believe that the ETF companies either directly or indirectly (via contracting with market makers) arranges for offsetting transactions to eliminate order imbalances & provide for relatively consistent liquidity in their ETFs during normal market conditions, thereby, keeping the spreads tight.
To answer the other part of your question, I would have no problem taking SEA but as stated, my preference has been to gain exposure to & diversity within the shipping sector via a shotgun approach of buying relatively small positions in many individual shipping stocks.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
With three candidates each boasting one primary victory, Florida is partying like it's 2000: another pivotal ballot with presidential implications and the whole nation watching. The winner of next Tuesday's Sunshine State ballot has the clearest path to the Republican nomination. So if you're Newt Gingrich, high off your South Carolina comeback, how do you win with Republicans in a super-state where Mitt Romney's better-organized, better-funded, and (maybe) still ahead? One hail-mary idea is to connect Romney to the state's most famous GOP defector. Rick Tyler, the ex-Gingrich spokesman who now advises Newt's super PAC, Winning Our Future, plans to do just that.
On MSNBC Sunday morning, Tyler "laid out a simple plan for the week ahead: tie Romney to Charlie Crist, the one-time beloved Florida governor who lost both his popularity and chances of serving in the Senate seat when he chose to be the moderate alternative to Tea Partier-turned-senator Marco Rubio," as the Huffington Post summarized it . Tyler went on: "All we have to do is remind people that Mitt Romney is Charlie Crist. If you voted for Charlie Crist, then you should vote for Mitt. If you didn't vote for Charlie Crist, then you should vote for Newt."
On one level, it's a sound red-meat strategy: Romney's ground team in Florida includes a trio of political insiders who worked for Crist's unsuccessful independent Senate campaign in 2010. But while Gingrich might score some quick primary points by associating Romney with a moderate pol, it's likely to screw him in a general election. That's because in the past two years, Charlie Crist has returned from the dead to become one of the state's most popular politicians.
Back during the 2010 tea party revolution, Rubio crushed Crist in the GOP primary for Florida's open seat. Rubio's strategem was to paint Crist as a moderate Republican-in-name-only. In response, Crist fled the party and ran against Rubio in the general election as an independent, only to be crushed by 20 percent. But as they say in Florida, the rules are different here. Two years on, Rubio's ditched his tea party cred to vote regularly as a moderate; he's even cooperated with Sen. Bill Nelson, his senior colleague and a stolid Democrat, on a host of bills.
Crist's fortunes, too, have shifted. Now a high-powered attorney in St. Petersburg, he's sat back while state Republicans have taken a blowtorch to Florida's government...and essentially scorched themselves. His gubernatorial successor, the tea party billionaire Rick Scott, is the least popular governor in America, with a 26 percent approval rating, and the GOP-dominated state Legislature doesn't fare much better.
By contrast, Public Policy Polling found just last month that Crist is again one of the state's darlings, with a 48 percent approval rating—and if he were to become a Democrat and challenge Scott for the governorship, he'd wallop the former health care executive 55 percent to 32. And that's among a polling sample where two-thirds identified themselves as moderate to very conservative. In other words, Crist is pretty popular across the board, and especially so with independents, who are sitting this week's circus out.
The poll merely confirmed what you could already feel in Florida's humid atmosphere, from Pensacola to Big Pine Key: A vote against Crist these days is a vote for Rick Scott, and virtually nobody likes Rick Scott. In fact, no matter who wins the GOP nomination, the Republicans will have a huge problem trying to figure out where to stash Scott at their nominating convention in Tampa this fall. Somewhere behind a potted palm is a safe bet.
Simply put, Winning Our Future's Romney-as-Crist gambit might help Gingrich ever so slightly in a conservative-dominated primary, where voters gave Crist the boot two years ago. But calling Crist the enemy just paints the Republicans as hopelessly out of touch with Florida's general public. Were Newt to squeak through to November, his Sunshine State attacks on Comeback Charlie might leave him out in the rain.

If I Could Meet Anyone...
If I could meet anyone alive to day,
I find that would be something hard to say,
But I think that it might have to be,
One of these possible, remarkable three.
The first would be the Dalai Lama,
So I could get my inner soul, all calma,
The second would be Robert DeNiro,
Because he's always been my acting hero.
But in the end, it might be the third,
Because he's the master of written word.
Yes, somebody I'm sure that I would like,
To spend some time with John Updike.
In the past, I might want to meet,
Churchill, Lincoln, Byron, Keats.
Dickens, Twain, and Shakespeare too,
Caesar, Jesus, to name a few.

This clay model has us guessing about Hyundai's next move.
Elantra Coupe
Hyundai Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine makes Comic-Con debut [w/video]

- Jul 17, 2012
Hyundai showed off its Elantra-based Zombie Survival Machine at this year's Comic-Con. The coupe was penned by none other than Robert Kirkman, the creator of the now-famous The Walking Dead series and features a spike-laden cow-catcher plow up front. Aggressive spiked-tires, armored windows and plenty of lighting also help set this Elantra Coupe apart from the more pedestrian production models. Hyundai partnered up with Kirkman to celebrate the 100th issue of The Walking Dead comic, and the duo

Comic-Con International is right around the corner, and fans of "The Walking Dead" can look forward to seeing something special in San Diego this year. The comic is set to publish its 100th issue and has partnered with Hyundai to mark the occasion. Zombie guru and "The Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman designed a special Hyundai Elantra Coupe just for the show called the Hyundai Zombie Survival Machine. Design Craft went through the trouble of building a real-life representation of Kirkman's
2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe priced from $17,445*
- Jeff Sabatini
- Jun 15, 2012
Remember when Hyundai was a 98-pound weakling? Now it's become a muscle-bound bully, going and picking fights with the likes of Honda. As if the launch of the Elantra Coupe isn't enough of a slap in the face of Honda's two-door Civic, Hyundai's press release announcing pricing calls out Civic repeatedly.
2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe serves up space and style in equal measure
- Jeremy Korzeniewski
- Feb 8, 2012
In addition to the GT hatchback, Hyundai also rolled out a new Coupe version of the C-segment Elantra here at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. The new two-door is clearly meant to take on the likes of the Honda Civic Coupe, and it's got a spec sheet that compares rather favorably with its competitor from Japan.

Hyundai wants its Elantra to dominate the C segment, and that means in all body styles. The just-introduced five-door GT is set to battle the Ford Focus and Subaru Impreza hatchbacks, and this new Elantra Coupe clearly has the two-door Honda Civic in its sights.
2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe caught undisguised ahead of Chicago debut
- Steven J. Ewing

Here it is, ladies and gents – the 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe. The svelte new two-door will make its official debut at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show in just a few weeks, but our intrepid spy photographers managed to catch this completely uncovered prototype on the back of a flatbed truck.

- - Creating 'toughened' skin on amputation (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/411466-creating-toughened-skin-amputation.html)
Creating 'toughened' skin on amputation
I have a fairly recent adopted GSD who has a partial amputated rear leg. It is cut between the hock and the knee. Due to the positioning and condition of the amputation, it is not believed to be medical. The bone is pointed and the skin/tissue fused to the point. While I have been looking at prosthetic options for her, in the mean time I would like to help the skin at that point. Today was the first 'nice' day with snow and she was able to run and play for a fair bit. This has unfortunately caused the skin to bleed. Though high from the ground she does use the partial leg as a launching point and often weight bares on it while in motion. Aside from wrapping it in the short term, does anyone have any experience helping to create a callous or toughing the skin on an amputated leg? I should also mention, we have no idea how old this injury is. It was fully healed when she was picked up as a stray by the shelter. Thank you!
She is one lucky gsd that you adopted her. I can't speak from experience, with an amputation, but I do use emu oil as a skin toughener. I don't know if musher's secret would work, but I would give a try. Actually, I think an old sock - even if it had to be taped would protect the area and she could still use to put her weight on.
just a guess but how about a rubber cup like the thing
that goes on the end of a walking stick but larger or
something of the sort. is there something a human uses
that may fit?

Thank you for the suggestions. These aren't the best pics of the leg, but you can see the expanse we're dealing with. The topicals may be the way to go. A 'cap' type idea would likely require a lot of straps/rigging to hold in place due to the location on the leg and how active she is. She'll spin right on that stump when wrestling. One of the things we discussed with looking at prosthetics. The amount of rigging, to hold and secure it, due to the shortness of her leg, plus the way it's fused at the end and creates a bad weight baring spot. Also will be harsh on her skin till she callouses up, though she at least has fur in the other areas to help. Still considering it, but then there's the cost involved too, and the big 'will she even use it' question. As her leg is almost too short to consider one, we can't surgically alter the 'bad' end as we'd loose even more precious length.
Will try the topicals, as well as bandage for how. Hopefully the skin will start to accept it's 'fate' so to speak!

a cap type idea doesn't cost much to try and a cap stays on the end
of a walking stick.
Google "Well Horse" and see what you think. I used it for bed sores on my Boxer (DM) and I was pretty impressed now I use it on me and keep it on hand.

Recycling a Sweater - Riciclo un Vecchio Maglione
|Posted on August 5, 2016 at 2:45 PM
|comments (0)
I think I've mentioned my fondness for Italian films in past posts. When I can I watch them Sunday nights on the OMNI channel here in Ottawa and have even managed to learn a bit of Italian along the way. I especially like answering my phone with a 'Pronto' instead of 'Hello'. Surprises my friends no end!
I have since discovered a bunch of lovely Italian blogs and websites that I'm following. Currently the site Casa e Trend is one that I've been exploring and that's where I found this cute little DIY for turning a sweater into a jolly whale of a soft toy!
What kid (big or little) wouldn't want to snuggle up with this little fellow? Yes, it's in Italian but the tutorial photographs provided will even allow an all-thumbs gal like me make one.

Earth Day Project - Don't Buy More Clothes
|Posted on April 21, 2016 at 7:20 AM
|comments (0)
I know that I promised a recycling clothes post, but I've decided to rant about used clothing instead!.
A friend of my daughter's, a nurse, spends six months a year volunteering at an AIDS hospital in Africa. Many of the families of AIDS victims (mostly women with kids) are the poorest of the poor in their communities. She helped to set up a local initiative for these women to make fashionable accessories from the little bits of leftover fabric made at a local, traditional, textile manufacturer. The accessories, mostly small bags, are beautifully handmade by the village women using eco-friendly treadle sewing machines (remember those?). These bags are made to be sold at local markets.
However, the influx of tons and tons of used clothing (purses and shoes), from North America and Europe, selling at low prices makes it extremely difficult for these women to sell their products. And what, you ask, is the source of these castoffs? Well, our charity shops, for one. Tons of clothes that are 'recycled' by charity shops are destined for developing countries where they are sold at local markets so cheaply that local clothing makers can't survive. In sending our old mass-produced garments to Africa, we are depriving people there of a viable locally-based livelihood, and at the same also destroying traditional clothing manufacturing.
Do we really need to buy new outfits every season? Is it so important to be in 'style' and toss out perfectly good clothing before heading out to buy more? The irony in all this is that if you are in need of a new coat, sweater, blouse, etc, one of the best places to buy good quality are charity shops in your home town.
If you sew, you can make a second-hand good quality outfit fit better or be more fashion-forward. Or you can repurpose that outfit into something else: the internet is bursting with sites that offer thousands of ways for you to repurpose those castoffs: turn a t-shirt into a bag, jeans into a pillow cover, make pillow covers from old shirts, etc., etc. If you don't sew yourself, hire a local seamstress to do it for you.
Any used clothing that does not end up in the ragtrade or in developing countries, ends up in landfills - another reason to keep clothes buying to a minimum. According to the Triple Pundit website, "Decomposing clothing releases methane, a harmful greenhouse gas and a significant contributor to global warming. There are dyes and chemicals in fabric and other components of clothing and shoes that can leach into the soil, contaminating both surface and groundwater."
You''ll not only be helping to keep used clothing from being dumped abroad but also landfills, but give someone in your hometown a job.
Think about it and then read about the impact your your discarded clothes have on poor countries.
What Happens to Your Used Clothing?
The hidden trade in our second-hand clothes given to charity.
Let's keep clothing out of the landfills.
Recycling Socks - Stick Horses
|Posted on March 31, 2016 at 10:35 AM
|comments (0)
I promised myself a few days away from blogging, workshops, and crafting, but, before I head out into the sunrise, I found this cute (and very eco) way to recycle old woolen socks. Always popular toys with the little ones, stick or hobby horses go way back at least to the 16th century. Earlier versions were carved in wood (and fetch high prices at auctions) but I think the sock ones came about because a mom somewhere came up with the lone sock version for her little Hoppalong.
Anyway, after discovering this charming stable of keppilhevoset (that's stick horse to you and me) on this Finnish knitter blog, Mummo, I decided I could make one for the little guy. Just have to find a suitable sock and I'm all set.
Here's the original Mummo post - no instructions. As I mentioned, Mummo's blog is in Finnish but, if you are interested in making one or two yourself, I found a couple of tutorials for these adorable little stick ponies.
Karen over at Desert Chica has a post of of her sons making one, I guess to show us how easy it would be. Click here for her tutorial.
Another very good tutorial is posted by Heather at the Chickabug blog.
Both have great photos showing how to put this wee neigh sayer together. So start horsing around!
Ikea Idea - Fabric Recycling
|Posted on February 10, 2016 at 3:15 PM

I've been cleaning up my closets and found a heap of clothing I no longer wear - some I even forgot I had! So it's all going to the charity shop tomorrow. Now I know there are hundreds of uses for reusing textiles but just thinking about how much work it would be tires me no end. But I do remember spotting a pretty patchwork quilt on Ikea's Livet Hemma site some time ago and decided that it might give some of you ideas for upcycling your fabric odds and end.
Ikea Patchwork Quilt from Fabric Scraps
If I had this Ikea patchwork quilt, it would certainly brighten up my studio and it seems fairly straightforward to make. All I need is to buy a sewing machine!
Pretty cute, eh? It looks like a great way to recycle fabrics you can cut from old shirts, blouses, skirts or dresses. Ikea does provide how-to instructions but they're in Swedish! I didn't find an English version but I did manage to translate the material required.
For the quilt which consists of 8 columns and 15 rows:
120 - 15 x 15 squares (A) (allow 2 cm for seam allowance)
For the trim binding:
Two pieces fabric, (B) sized 225 x 8 cm (allow 2 cm for seam allowance)
Two pieces fabric, (C) sized 126 x 8 cm (allow 1 cm for seam allowance)
No mention is made of a backing or the actual size of the quilt so I looked around to find better instructions. If you are a novice at quilting, you will find the pictures and reasonably easy-to-follow instructions here and here.
You can find the Swedish instructions here.
Chic Patchwork Pillow
If you find the idea of sewing a quilt a bit daunting or you don't have a lot of fabric for one, why not try making a patchwork pillow cover for practice? I found this lovely one for sale at Anthropologie. It's from Ace and Jig, but you could easily make a similar one.
Hmm ... all this talk about fabric recycling has got me fired up. Note to self: Buy a sewing machine!
Upcycle with Ikea - Transforming old bed linen

Yesterday's post got me thinking that my whole apartment needs an uplift. So - I returned to trawl through Ikea's Livet Hemma blog looking for inspiration that I can use to brighten up my place and, in my search, I spotted this:
I like everything in this room (well, almost!) and will probably copy most of it when I find the time. As I'm fairly conservative when it comes to colours and stuff and all my bed linen is white - pillows, sheets, duvets, I like the idea of adding colour by just dipping parts of a fabric into dye. The pompoms add a fun touch to the room, too, I think.
And that ladder - in the Ikea description, the ladder is supposed to replace a dresser but couldn't possibly in my case. But I'd like to have it for hanging up stuff. I've made ladders in the past and sold. I do believe that I have some leftover 2 x 4s stashed away somewhere in my storage unit.
I found out by reading the Ikea description that what makes this room so stylish and appealing are the different textures used. See - I am learning something.
How to Dip and Dye
Okay, I'm not going to tell you how to dip dye your fabrics. Instead you can head over to Tie Dye Your Summer for a really easy method to dip dyeing your linens. Here are their really easy how-to instructions.
Of course, our lady Martha also has a method for dye dipping. Click here for her how-tos.
Pompom Makery
I know I posted a pompom how-to link somewhere but you can never have enough (links, that is). If you have any unused sweaters lying around, why not unravel one to make your own pompom without dashing off to the yarn barn. Click here for how to find out how to unravel yarn from an old sweater.
As for the pompom, click here for a couple of ways to make your own - small or large. There's a nifty way to make small pompoms using a fork and to make giant pompoms, using 2 cardboard toilet rolls. This link is definitely a keeper.
Ladder Work
If you keen to make your own ladder, here's a link to one that looks easy enough.
Upcycle with Ikea - Cushion Covers into Bags
|Posted on January 18, 2015 at 2:10 PM

And -- she's back! Me, that is. Lots going on at the beginning of the year but I think I'm ready for 2015 now!
I'm a big fan of Ikea's lifestyle blog, Livet Hemma. Not so much for looking to buy anything but because some of the ideas posted by Ikea's resident designers and others are worth taking a second look at. Many of the ideas can be reinterpreted using what you've already got and can recycle.
Here's an idea from guest blogger, Sara Zetterström from over at little miss fix it. She shows you how to upcycle (extra) cushion covers into neat storage bags. And who doesn't need more storage? All you do is add a little fabric loop for hanging up the cushion cover. So simple! Ms. Sara uses Ikea's SANELA cushion covers to make her bags but that's no reason to go out and buy new ones. Why not dig around your linen closet see if you've got any cushion or pillows you don't use and make these?
Since I have at least half a dozen cushion covers lurking in my linen closet - all unused - this is one project I will definitely do. And you don't even need a sewing machine (I don't have one). It would be simple enough to hand stitch. Easy, peasy. I like this!

Shares of Bank of America (BAC) headed south on the stock market today after the nation's second-biggest bank fell short of first-quarter earnings views and announced another mortgage settlement.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based company posted net income of $2.6 billion in the first quarter, or 20 cents a share. That's below the consensus estimate of 23 cents. It's also down from the prior year, when BofA posted EPS of 31 cents, excluding a charge of 28 cents a share due to a rise in the value of debt held by the company.
Adjusted revenue rose slightly to $23.85 billion, just ahead of estimates for $23.5 billion.
Although BofA posted increases in investment banking fees and trading income, results were hurt by lower mortgage banking income.
BofA's stock price fell 3% to 11.87 in early trading Wednesday. That's down from a two-year high of 12.79 established March 19.
The company also said it will pay $500 million so it can be released from claims on mortgage bonds that carry a current principal of $95 billion.
The payment is in connection to class action lawsuits filed in November 2007 which collectively concern 429 residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) issued by subsidiaries of Countrywide Financial.
The $500 million settlement pushed BofA's litigation expense to $881 million during the first quarter, down from $916 million the previous quarter but up from $793 million the prior year.
Despite the disappointing earnings, company officials sounded upbeat about the quarter
"There were many examples of progress this quarter," chief Financial Officer Bruce Thompson said in a statement. "We reduced non-interest expense by nearly $1 billion year-over-year, and credit costs continued to decline."
BofA is the last of the nation's four biggest banks to report quarterly results.
On Monday, Citigroup (C) logged Q1 profit of $1.29 a share, up from $1.11 a year earlier and above analyst forecasts for $1.17. It was the second straight quarter of double-digit EPS growth after four quarters of declining or flat profit.
Citi results were bouyed by its securities trading and investment banking business, which saw revenue rise 31% to $6.98 billion. Excluding adjustments tied to changes in the value of the firm's debt and its trading partners' credit quality, the unit's revenue rose 8%.
Last week, Wells Fargo (WFC) reported earnings of 92 cents a share for its first quarter, up from 75 cents the prior year and 4 cents above estimates. It was the firm's 13th straight quarter of EPS growth. Revenue fell 3% to $22.4 billion.
Also last week, JPMorgan (JPM) posted Q1 earnings of $1.59 a share, up 21% from the previous year and above estimates for $1.39.
JPMorgan's revenue fell 4% to $25.1 billion. That was mainly due to a slowdown in mortgage banking income, which fell 31% from a year earlier.
IBD's Banks-Money Center group has inched higher the last couple of days, though the group is still down 4.5% since hitting a two-year high on March 15.

The U.S. says it has yet to verify the claim, but it also reiterated its stance that North Korea can't be allowed to become a nuclear state. Cornyn Remains Skeptical Of Iranian Nuclear Deal And Sanction Relief By Ryan Poppe • Dec 2, 2013 Ryan E. Poppe / Texas Public Radio Sen. John Cornyn said he still sees "red flags" regarding the deal that was signed this past weekend that allows Iran to continue to enrich uranium fuel. "The problem with the deal -- this six-month deal -- is it doesn't require them to dismantle their enrichment capability and allows them to spirit forward when the deal falls apart to creating a nuclear weapon, which will destabilize the region and threatens our chief allies there," Cornyn said. Cornyn said "red flags" were raised for him when Israel called the deal with Iran a "historic mistake." Using Nuclear Weapons In Current Conflicts 'Morally Outrageous' By The World Affairs Council of San Antonio • Feb 25, 2013 The Cato Institute has never been shy about putting it's opinions into the marketplace. The libertarian think-tank recently endorsed the Hagel nomination as one of cautious pragmatism to the surprise of people who thought they were staunch allies of the Defense Department and big budgets.

Some of my greatest regrets come from trying to do what made other people happy instead of chasing my own happiness. Among those was the missed opportunity to see my oldest son play his tuba on the football field at the OSU Cowboy Stadium in 2005. This was an opportunity I would never have again, but it was taken away from me because of the selfishness and entitlement of other people.
Austen was an excellent student in High School and earned a scholarship playing in the OSU Cowboy Band. Being a single mother of four sons, working in a low paying job so I could have the flexibility to be where my sons needed me, and get them to where they needed to be, making ends meet was often difficult. But, somehow I was able to make it happen. However, once David and I began dating things kind of took a turn that I wasn't real happy about with regard to the entitlement of his children. The parent method of behavior utilized regarding adult plans, was that the children ruled over dad. The problem that was apparent, was that the parents of this ten and five year old felt the children should be making the plans! I'll explain that statement;
Austen invited me to an OSU Cowboy football game, and knowing his mom had a difficult time financially, he came up with a ticket for me so I could go see him in action on the field at half-time. I'd planned for weeks and was very excited for the opportunity. I'd seen him at the homecoming parade but seeing him on the field was something I'd longed to do so badly, and HE wanted his mom too also. David asked if he and the kids could come hang out with me on Saturday at my house and I told him sure, but that evening I was going to go to an OSU game to see Austen play his tuba with the Band. He was adamant that he and the kids would go too as getting a ticket would be easy to do outside the gate. I told him as long as they knew I was going and that was the plan then it would be fine for them to come over.
David, the kids and I, went somewhere the morning of the big game and all hell broke loose on the drive home. His daughter, aged ten, knew the plan to go to the game but had received a phone call from Mom while we were in the car. You could hear the conversation and the ex-wife getting into our business with the child. She asked the child "why would anyone want to go to an OSU football game? You will be so bored. It will be awful. Tell your dad you're not going to go and he doesn't need to go either. That's it, just refuse to go. Pitch a fit until he changes his mind on going, you know he will!" And….that's exactly what happened.
To make matters worse, the little girl started screaming in the car, throwing the temper tantrum ordered by her dysfunctional mother. It was horrible and unwarranted, but this was the manner in which this woman operated and that manner of operation only worsened over the years. It didn't matter that she was setting her own child up for failure in life, it was a selfish act that was all consuming for this woman. The fit worsened the closer we got to my home in Glenpool. Once we arrived, David and I discussed our evening plans. He was attempting to change our plans simply because of the temper tantrums of a child, based on the instructions we had both heard come from her mother. "It is not her fault, mom has made her not want to go now." He said. My response was, "David, the kid is ten, you're the parent and children don't have the right to change the plans made by adults simply because of their own whims and wishes."
Now….that might seem to make sense to other adults, but that's not the way these two parents operated. Mom had so engrained into these little children that dad should do only what the children wish to do, and that the children had been given a directive to make it happen by mom. David, being a puppet on a string to this woman for so many years, acted as if she still had control of the strings. In essence, she did, those string were the domination of her children in doing what she desired with regard to their father.
Keep in mind that Dad was the only parent at home with these children while mommy dearest was out playing with her boyfriend, the same man she claimed months earlier had "forced himself" on her. I should have had clearer vision at the time to see what a crazy situation I had allowed myself to get into. But, love makes you lose your vision and common sense at times.
Seeing I wasn't changing David's mind, and this child's tantrum and fits getting louder and more out of control, I asked them to leave. David didn't want to leave because we were in the middle of a disagreement. But, the daughter didn't want to leave either and said so. I told her they needed to go because I was going to a football game. She said "NO! I don't want to leave. I want to stay here with you." I told her I was going to a football game and again, the child refused to leave and her father didn't make her go. I was between a rock and a hard place with people at my home refusing to leave and me needing WANTING to see my oldest son do something he and I had planned me watching for weeks. It got to the point that I tried for so long to get them to leave without just being rude and insensitive to David's situation with his child, that I ended up not going to the game. Austen and I lost something that day that we will never be able to share again and all because of this woman's selfishness and narcissistic behaviors. How horrible to use a child in that manner. I regret to this day that I didn't leave, telling them there was no alternative, and go to the game. That was a HUGE mistake on my part.
This is a decision I still kick myself over. I missed the opportunity to do something for my own son because of the mother-driven temper tantrum of a ten year old. Yet, I'm the bad guy. In every situation, so MANY situations just like this one which we've endured over the last ten years; I always come out the bad guy. Yet, it's me who has had to miss some things that were so important not only to me, but also to my own children simply because of a crazy, dysfunctional ex-spouse who was selfish and driven to make her ex miserable. Well, she succeeded not only in misery for dad, but also for the new woman that dad was involved with. I was hated, maligned, lied about, had my friends and co-workers called and told horrendous, untruthful things about me, threatened, hit with bogus protective orders saying I was abusive to her children when it was just her abusing the legal justice system to her own means, and even called a "swinger" to my employer and people I worked with, had an acquaintance told at a rodeo that I was a "swinger" right there in front of the children, yet, I'm the bad guy.
I've had people tell me they know just how I feel that they have been through this with their husband's children. However, I'm yet to see their names on legal records showing they had to fight constantly to prove they were not child abusers or horrible human beings. You see, my parents, unlike my husband's ex, taught me to be fair to all people. They taught me that rules apply to everyone, not just everyone else. My parents also taught me to live by the Golden Rule, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
I vividly remember the little boy climbing up into my lap and kissing me. It made me very uncomfortable as he said "I have two daddies and two mommies." I quickly stopped him and told him, "you have ONE mom and ONE dad, I'm not your mom and Mike is not your dad." Why can't all parents do their children a favor and not confuse them by trying to eliminate the parent's role in the children's lives? Why can't they see that children need and DESERVE the freedom to love both sides of their families which may include step-parents? It takes an EXTREMELY SELFISH person to demand loyalty only to one parent, and demands their child be totally against their other parent.
That parent's behavior is classic Parental Alienation. Parental Alienation is abuse, but this type of abuse isn't clearly seen as illegal. How can that be? Judges who are responsible to make decisions about the welfare of children have failed to educate themselves on Parental Alienation. Sharie Tines, Psy.D., fives a great description in "Children with Narcissistic Parental Alienation Syndrome";
Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is the unhealthy coalition between a narcissistic parent and his or her children against the targeted, non-narcissistic, non-abusive parent. The innocent or targeted parent receives hostility and rejection from his or her children in this system. The psychological health of the children is used as arsenal in the narcissist's twisted world.
Parental Alienation Syndrome is a family systems pathologyinvolving the triangulation of children into the abusive, narcissistic parental relationship. In the case of PAS the cross-generational coalition exists between the narcissist and the child or children, and is a covert type of narcissistic abuse. In typical family systems therapy there would most likely be cooperation with the offending parent to break the coalition with the child and stand united with the other parent. With a narcissist this will not happen. Narcissists have limited insight so they will be unwilling or unable to see their unhealthy union, believing it to be occurring because he or she happens to be the superior parent, deserving of loyalty, deeming the innocent parent as "bad." In addition to this, narcissists are unwilling to collaborate on anything; even in therapy. Going to therapy with a narcissistic partner will usually backfire on the targeted partner.
The symptoms of PAS are: (1) The children sit in judgment of the targeted parent's adequacy and competency as a parent. (2) The narcissistic parent covertly encourages, empowers, and rewards the children for this behavior. (3) The narcissistic parent feigns innocence in this process. (4) The children believe they are acting independently (that is, they believe they are not being influenced by the alienating parent.)
The system is created as the alienating parent rewards the children when they say hostile or angry things about the targeted parent by encouraging and displaying "understanding" for the children's negative feelings, when what should really be occurring is the children should be taught to respect the other parent. In essence, the children are gaining acceptance from the narcissistic parent as they complain about the target parent.
For instance, suppose the targeted parent tells the child to do a chore and the child resists as is so often the case with children being told to do something they don't want to do. Now, suppose the child goes to the narcissist and complains about the "mean" other parent. The narcissist will then sympathize with the child, encouraging him or her to feel victimized by the "outrageous" expectations of the targeted parent, and will excuse the child from having to do the chore. Thus, the child is getting sucked into the web of PAS. The targeted parent is outraged, bewildered, hurt, and betrayed. The child has been covertly empowered to disrespect the one parent who is actually trying to develop a decent human being. The narcissist sits back, effortlessly creating the destructive coalition with his or her child.
In essence, the children are empowered to disobey, disrespect, and disregard the non-narcissistic parent. On the surface, the children feel and believe they are benefiting and winning, but in reality they are playing a sordid part in the narcissist's perverse mind games. There are some detrimental effects to the children because of this:
1. Children's sense of value is diminished because they believe the targeted parent is unworthy of being identified with. If the children have any interests or traits similar to the rejected parent then the children will be forced to reject those aspects of themselves as well.
2. A child's character is damaged as he or she is covertly rewarded to be disrespectful, entitled, rude, judgmental, condescending, ungrateful, parentified, and hateful.
3. The children develop atoxic-bond to the alienating parent, as he or she manipulates them into fearing a lack of acceptance from him or her.
Realize that you are dealing with a form of psychological manipulation of your children in which they have been brainwashed to respond toward you in hateful ways because they are being psychologically rewarded by having a pseudo-interpersonal relationship with the other parent, whom the children perceive as more powerful.
Parental Alienation Syndrome is a form of brainwashing. Think of this – members of cults become brainwashed to the point where they will give up everyone they love, all for allegiance to a charismatic and manipulative leader. Some even give up their lives. "
As long as I live I will never forget the day I was doing some legal work from home on my telephone. It was a requirement that I record such calls and as such I'd forgotten to turn off my tape recorder. Later that night I saw the tape recorder was running so I rewound it and what I heard was heartbreaking. "Have you pitched fits today every chance you got? "said the Mom. The daughter responded "Yes mom, just like you and Mike told me to do." Mom replied, "Are you making them as miserable as humanly possible for me?" to which daughter responded "yes mom, I'm doing what you told me to do." The response from mom was exactly what you would expect from a narcissistic, abusive, disrespectful person, "that's my girl, that's my good girl!"
