When people first think of an iris they envision blooms and the many colors of the rainbow they come in. In fact Iris is known as the Greek goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. Here I would like to be your messenger to open your mind and eye to look beyond the bloom.

Flower Forms of Japanese Iris
The iris family Japanese iris, Iris ensata has the most diverse flower forms of any other iris. This diversity has been achieved under the watchful eye of hybridizers in Japan over several hundred years of selective breeding, working with mutations within a single species.
Secrecy of breeding stock within the different groups in Japan and the regional taste of perfecting what the perfect flower form should be, gave rise to distinct forms. Continue reading Flower Forms of Japanese Iris
Colors, Patterns of Japanese Iris
Japanese iris, Iris ensata besides the varied flower forms has some of the most diverse patterns that blend colors in the iris world. This being said when there are only three colors at this time available to Iris ensata. White or Alba, Red-violet, and Blue-violet, however these violet colors come in a full range of pale pastels to dark almost black in tone. Continue reading Colors, Patterns of Japanese Iris
Growing Japanese Iris
Growing Japanese iris, Iris ensata into magnificent clumps, demands moist acidic soils enriched with compost, and frequent division. Many of the iris family like to be lifted and divided every few years. Iris ensata's growth habit demands to be lifted and divided every three to four years. I personally recommend doing this every two to three years. The crown of Iris ensata has a vertical growth habit instead of horizontal, like most other kinds of iris.

Winter TNNA 2011 Recap
Winter TNNA 2011 Recap in one word: Agog. As in, Michelle spent the entire TNNA weekend with her mouth agog. The closest event to TNNA as far as sheer overwhelmingyness (not a word, but I invented it for this post) is walking onto the Stitches West Marketplace for the first time. I saw lots of old friends, made some new friends and basked in the horn of plenty of knitting designers and authors.
I am so unbelievably lucky to have a good set of friends who held me up all weekend. (Andria is not pictured, but we know where she lives). They patted my back when I'd agog "Was that...." and "Did you see...." and tell me that there was spinach in my teeth or my slip was showing. I can't think of a better group of folks to have in my life.
I also enjoyed talking with all the shop owners (and laughed with them at their cool yarn carrying gear) that stopped by and those that placed orders. I plotzed over all the Qiviut. My wool pig eyes sparkled in the glory that was the artyarns booth.
I drooled as I always do at Sabrina's Anzula booth. Mermaid, mmmmmm.
It was a great weekend and it was difficult to compress everything that happened into one blog post much less into one cohesive event in my brain. It was a good show and I plan on showing again at Columbus this June.

10 Best Tips on How To Take Care a Jordan Horizon Sneaker Shoe
In the event you are similar to most folks, it is likely that you'll wear sneaker shoes sooner or later during your day. When it's working out, at your job or part of a casual trip with friends, sneaker shoes will most likely offer the greatest relaxation. In case you'd like these comfy sneakers to last, you should begin taking appropriate care of those. It does not matter if you're rocking Jordan Horizon Shoes, New Balance Runners or Nike Shoe: all shoes desire to be cared for to ensure their longevity. This informative article offers the ten best ideas to care for your shoes and make them last a lifetime.
Tip #1: Prevention is the best technique for caring for your sneakers.
This may be one of the most important tips offered. Only, know the states of the weather, landscape and/or what you are definitely going to be doing in your sneakers before you pick a pair to wear. Say for instance, if you own a pair of brand new white Jordan Horizon Shoes, it may not be an excellent thought to wear them outside during a thunderstorm. Actually, it is a horrible idea considering you may pick up all sorts of mud and scuff them up. They will most likely get stained and could be ruined entirely. Know the specific situation and states before you select a set of sneakers to wear. This will save you ample time plus energy trying to clean and restore your shoes.
Tip #2: Switch it up. It is alright to have a favorite pair of sneaker shoes.
This doesn't mean you should wear them everywhere or all the time. Attempt and change up the shoes you wear frequently. This will keep them cleaner and prevent wear and tear in the long run. By wearing the same pair of shoes for everything, all the time: they will begin to wear down and eventually snap and fall apart. Do not be frightened to switch up your shoes often.
Tip #3: Have a shoe cleaning brush or toothbrush.
For sneakers, they will most likely be your busy pair of shoes. You'll most likely be running and walking in them. Over time they will get a good build-up of dirt and stains. To keep your shoes clean, grab a brush with some rough bristles or just a toothbrush. Use the brush to get all the deep buried in dirt in your sneakers. You must use warm water or a select shoe cleaning product when applying the brush technique. Frequent cleans with a brush will ensure your sneaker shoes will remain very clean and not fall apart due to dirt particle build up.
Tip #4: Put your shoes away properly while not wearing them.
This tip could be self-explanatory, but it is often overlooked. By putting your shoes away, either in a shoe cabinet, a designated shoe region or even back in the box, it will ensure their security from the countless outside components which could destroy them. These can include, pets, people stepping on them, spills being spilled on them and so on. When you're done wearing your shoes, store them in a safe place so nothing unlucky occurs to them. And anything you do, please don't keep your shoes outside. That is clearly a dreadful spot to put them.
Suggestion #5: Protect your suede.
Suede sneakers are one of the very most stylish sneakers out there. Additionally they can be the toughest to keep clean. To protect your suede, generate assistance from some suede protection merchandise. Ordinarily you have to clean the shoe, let it dry, then use the suede protection and let it dry overnight. This will definitely ensure your suede shoes are protected for about six to eight months from deep stains. You may also utilize a suede cleaner to wash your suede shoes if they can be already filthy. Just be mindful when choosing a product. Some suede guards and cleaners tend to leave behind a thin white film that will stain your shoes forever. A trusted brand is New Balance suede guard.
Tip #6: Keep your shoes smelling fresh.
By wearing shoes constantly and not taking any attention or precautionary measures, your shoes will eventually smell. It is unavoidable that your shoes will give off a terrible scent at some stage due to use. A fantastic trick to keep the odor away is to keep dryer sheets in your shoes when not wearing them. The fabric and scent will settle into your kicks making them smell like clothing that just came out of the dryer. It will also prevent bad odors from happening due to wear. One other great idea would be to put dryer sheets in your shoes when traveling. This will ensure your whole suitcase tote will not smell like a nasty pair of gym shoes.
Tip #7: Taking good care of the insoles.
If dryer sheets do not take the odor from your sneaker shoes, the sweet and fungus from your foot has probably been greatly absorbed by your insoles. The very best option is to take the insoles out of your shoes and treat them. Let them dry and treat them with some deodorizer or perfume spray. A fantastic merchandise that's gotten amazing reviews everywhere is called retaW's sneaker spray. It supposedly works to totally take the smell out of your insoles.
Tip #8: Don't forget about your laces.
Your laces in your sneakers can take a large quantity of dust and dirt, making your shoes seem worn and old. Take a proactive strategy and either clean your laces or get new ones. To clean your laces, you can soak them in a bowl of hot water or even place these in the washing machine. Ensure you put them in a bra bag so they don't come apart. Should you not want to wash your laces, get a new pair. New laces can make your shoes look brand-new again.
Tip #9: Use Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.
Yes, I said Mr. Clean magic erasers to clean the soles of your shoes. They work excellent and many sneaker heads swear by them to keep their kicks fine and clean. They even take some erasers on the go to ensure their kicks stay fresh even when they do not have all their dwelling products. The erasers provide a nice alternative to get stains out as well as get excessive grime off your shoes.
Tip #10: Hand wash your sailcloth.
If you have canvas sneakers, for example Chuck Taylors, cleaning them can be as simple as using cloth shampoo and water. Do not place them in the washing machine. This could cause your shoes to break down and fade the color. If you own canvas, make use of the sink and a material shampoo to wash them by hand.
We wish you enjoyed these ten simple, but powerful suggestions on the best way to look after your sneaker shoes. It matters not if you favor a pair of Jordan horizons, Nike Free Runs or Converse all star high-tops: a clean shoe makes any shoe, a better shoe. Take advantage of these ideas to look after your sneakers and make sure they continue you for the long run.

Look at what Pope Benedict had to say about families during his visit to Croatia:
"[Dear families,] alongside what the Church says, the testimony and commitment of the Christian family – your concrete testimony – is very important, especially when you affirm the inviolability of human life from conception until natural death, the singular and irreplaceable value of the family founded upon matrimony and the need for legislation which supports families in the task of giving birth to children and educating them. Dear families, be courageous! Do not give in to that secularized mentality which proposes living together as a preparation, or even a substitute for marriage! Show by the witness of your lives that it is possible, like Christ, to love without reserve, and do not be afraid to make a commitment to another person! Dear families, rejoice in fatherhood and motherhood! Openness to life is a sign of openness to the future, confidence in the future, just as respect for the natural moral law frees people, rather than demeaning them! The good of the family is also the good of the Church. I would like to repeat something I have said in the past: "the edification of each individual Christian family fits into the context of the larger family of the Church which supports it and carries it with her ... And the Church is reciprocally built up by the family, a 'small domestic church'" (Address of Benedict XVI to the Participants in the Ecclesial Diocesan Convention of Rome, 6 June 2005). Let us pray to the Lord, that families may come more and more to be small churches and that ecclesial communities may take on more and more the quality of a family!"
This line in particular impressed me: "Openness to life is a sign of openness to the future, confidence in the future, just as respect for the natural moral law frees people, rather than demeaning them." I had a delightful trip yesterday afternoon with Chad Cunningham and Dillon Barker to the Mass of Thanksgiving of newly-ordained Fr. Austin Litke, O.P. in his hometown of Henderson, KY. (It was beautiful to see Fr. Richard Cash serving as Master of Ceremonies for this young priest whose vocation, eventually to priesthood in religious life, was nurtured by the older priest.) Our conversation on the way home was particularly rich. This point that openness to life is a sign of hope came up, as did the point of freedom -- liberality in its true sense -- much later in the evening. We must have been on the BXVI wavelength yesterday!
I also want to join in the Pope's prayer that "ecclesial communities may take on more and more the quality of a family" -- particularly the ecclesial community called "Vanderbilt Catholic"! This was another point that came up in our conversation: that members of these ecclesial families will look after each other -- parents and children, children and parents, priests and religious. To put is bluntly, I am not worried about who will look after me when I am old! That is why I have such a family! For example, I was talking to Chad this weekend on a very different matter dealing with Vanderbilt Catholic and said that I have a certain responsibility as "father." I really believe that. And I believe that faithful paternity, including the spiritual kind, is fruitful. It was fun Saturday night to be with Bishop Choby and a gathering of seminarians and prospective seminarians. It was nothing so much as a family cook out!
One final random comment on the Pope's words in this rambling post! While I was driving back from Cullman, AL on Saturday, I was briefly listening to a country music radio station -- these are plentiful in north Alabama! I am not good at remembering exact words or even titles or artists, but this not-particularly new song has lyrics of youthful impatience for love. At first hearing, one might have thought, as I did think, that the song was urging fornication, to put it bluntly, as so many more mainstream songs do. But listening more carefully I realized that what this young man was impatient for was marriage! And marriage as a permanent commitment. You've got to love country music! Maybe the Pope can use it to help teach the world not to "be afraid to make a commitment to another person"!

You are right, Father, to see

do isn't appreciated sometimes.

Had an amazing experience this week at Crest Honda. I Honda vehicles. However, shopping for one hasn't been so easy, especially shopping the used selections. We shopped on Saturday after our awesome sale rep. called to answer my inquiry about a particular can. Brigg Stoll was our sales rep. and he was amazing. Laid back but professional. Friendly, yet truly displayed a love for his dealership and job. We shopped Saturday and left to think about this huge decision. Returned Thursday and Brigg was thrilled for us to be back and eager to test drive the vehicle with us, answer our mound of questions, and make a way for the payments to work out so the van could be ours! At the end of our transaction and the deal was done, it was 1.5 hours after closing. Brigg didn't worry a bit and spent another 30 minutes with us programming my Bluetooth, setting my Navigation up, and moving things from my trade-in. Martin, the used car manager did a great job of giving us a good trade in on our vehicle, because he truly wanted us to be in a car we loved. Brigg wasn't prepared to stop until we got the car of our dreams for our family! Corey Mooney in the finance department was beyond amazing. He was friendly, humble, and understood we had a strict budget. We felt comfortable being honest with our budget and what we could comfortably afford. He suggested the Total Care for our car-not to make a sale...to insure us that we were covered with our van for a long period of time. I can't say enough about Corey and how fun, yet professional he was. I was worried about going to Creat Honda, because I had done all my prior business at another Honda dealership-not anymore. Crest Honda is our new home. They men and women who work there love their job and the service department was so nice, I can't wait to get my oil changed! Thank you Crest Honda, especially to Mr. Brigg Stoll. He will forever be our go to sales rep. for any future purchases. I am thrilled with my new car, how beautifully shines it was, how they stayed open way late without rushing us, and how it was just a comfortable transaction!

The service department could use a tune-up, but the sales team (especially Greg Cole) and products are fantastic. I had a relatively simple service request: replace the front passenger-side tire. I didn't need anything fancy, and I figured the dealership would be a fine choice for this straightforward request. When I brought in the vehicle, my service rep (Corky) annotated the request and asked if there was anything else. To which I replied, "This back tire looks a little flat, could you also take a look at that?" They performed the service and about an hour later I was on my way. About a week and a half after this visit to the service department, I found that my front passenger-side tire was completely flat. After speaking with several different employees (including the one who processed my original request), I deduced that they had replaced the back tire (the WRONG one) after also putting a patch in it. Really? They patched a tire, THEN replaced the same tire? And I paid for both operations? Yes, yes, and yes. I actually had to argue with the service rep and deliver evidence of the flat FRONT tire, but he never admitted to making a mistake. It became clear that Corky had simply botched the original service request and wouldn't own up to it. I finally spoke to the service manager and ultimately convinced him to meet me halfway on the cost of another new tire. Thankfully, after making a fuss, they replaced the tire that actually needed replacing. Sorry, Beaman. I'm still a loyal customer, but your service department needs a lesson in good service.
This is the 6th new car I have purchased from Crest in the past 6 years. This agency has set a higher bar for all others to follow! They continue to impress me more every year I make my purchase. They treat me with respect, dignity, and value my business. You get the impression that you are a member of the family not just a customer. They do not try and sell you something you do not want. They make it very clear up front that they want to earn your business and keep it. To them this is not a one time deal. It is a commitment to a lasting business relationship. They always give me a fair and honest price. I do not have to shop around. Although they are part of a very large conglomerate, they still maintain their "local flavor". The sales manager Rick and my personal salesman Lew are fabulous to work with! They make the buying process unbelievably easy and painless. The finance guy does not try and sell you a bunch of stuff you do not want. I like to get in, get down to business, and get out with a friendly and shake and a thank you. This is what you get from these guys. And on the rare occasion I have had to go back for minor repairs or service, they accommodate all of my needs. If there is a better agency in Tennessee, I sure would like someone to tell me about them. You will love doing business with Crest.
Crest Cadillac went far above my expectations by providing me with an extraordinary leasing experience. I'm a repeat customer, recently retired, and a widow. My late husband loved every Cadillac he ever leased/purchased from Crest Cadillac. I wasn't in the market for new 2015 SRX crossover Cadillac. Unfortunately, I was in a car crash that totaled my beautiful blue 2013 SRX Cadillac. After the crash, I now could purchase any car. I still wanted another SRX Cadillac. It be difficult because we had a huge down payment on the 2013 SRX (traded in two vehicles). I loved driving the SRX but more importantly I love the safety features. All four air bags deployed from the massive impact of the other car slamming into my car. I know the engineering safety features not only saved my life but the lives of the other four passengers in my car which include my daughter and three kids in the back seat. That is why I had to get another SRX because I feel very safe driving it.The wonderful and caring Crest Cadillac staff (especially Murdock Calvin and Edith Thompson) worked a miracle. I'm driving a beautiful 2015 SRX that I love even more than my 2013 SRX. Crest Cadillac took great care of me during a very difficult time in my life. Thanks to Crest Cadillac, I'm driving my dream car!!! AGAIN!!!!
Bought a used Scion that they just received on trade-in and they assured me that they would take out a few dents and do some body work to make it look great. After dealing with other dealership for the last 30 years of car buying I was a bit worried that they would not honor our agreement since I paid for the car already. Dropped it off today for the repairs and got super-great treatment. These folks are better than most. I have spoke with several Beaman employees and I get the impression they all care and they seem confident that their company would do the right thing and take care of us. They did take good care of us and we will buy here again. Al Nixon and Sterling were great before and after the sale and Mike the Sales Manager is amazing. Body Shop(Brian) , Finance (Jennifer), and reception (Joan) are also top notch!
I came in with a busted radiator! You know that's a major and expensive repair. The people at Downtown NIssan couldn't have been nicer or more professional. They were honest and up front about cost. They worked to make sure things covered under warranty were paid for by the warranty company. That saved me quite a bit of money. They took the time to compare parts and didn't try to up sell me on the more expensive part. The waiting area is comfortable with plenty of places to work if you're waiting for service. The cost of a major repair is never pleasant but doing business with Downtown NIssan made the experience a lot less stressful. I'll be a repeat customer for sure.
I would not recommend this business. My husband and I drove from Chattanooga with our baby to test drive a truck at Galaxy. After the test drive, we asked to look at the carfax. The owner said there wasn't a carfax available for that vehicle. Then he admitted it was a rebuilt title. He claims he told us before we drove to Nashville, but he never said a word about it until after we asked to see the carfax.
I took my car in since I was notified of a recall. I wasn't told on the phone when making the appointment how long it would take, but luckily I was able to wait the two hours the technician stated it would take; plus they did not need more than that. They were friendly and professional.
I recently purchased a Infiniti g35 , and I love my car . Charlotte Auto is very reasonable place if your looking into buying your first car to buying a car that you've really wanted at a reasonable price . The staff are friendly also . I promise you want be dissatisfied !!!
I have been there to upgrade my Toyota car. I would say the sales representative is not very professional. He cannot answer many of my questions and let his supervisor to help him finally. Maybe one sales rep cannot represent the company, but small detail means a lot.

Each month, I will be sharing my travel favourites from the previous month. The items featured will be ones I've loved bringing with me on my travels and would highly recommend to other explorers.
Since I was travelling quite a bit the past couple of months, I decided to combine both March and April into one video. Here's what I've been digging over the past two months:
Curious.com is like the Netflix of learning. Not that you don't learn from watching Netflix, but Curious offers over 13,000 video lessons on hundreds of different categories that you can learn at your own time and pace. All lessons are reviewed and curated, so quality is also guaranteed. You can sign up for a 7-day free trial to see if you like Curious. If you do, then pricing is $8.99 USD per month or $60 USD per year.
Curious has offered my readers and viewers (hey that's you) a 20% off discount for signing up. This link will automatically apply the 20% discount. If you do, let me know below what courses you plan on taking!
Bowhurst Classic Pack
Bowhurst crafts bags and apparel for self proclaimed adventurers. Whether it's travelling across the world, exploring the city or racing down the slopes, Bowhurst claims to "stand up to the demands of your adventures." I think they are doing a pretty good job at being both practical and stylish!
The Bowhurst Classic Pack is a great backpack for day excursions. It comes in creme and navy blue and creme and black. This has been my favorite day pack to date because of it's simple design and the fact it can take quite a beating (very important for an adventurer). It's a 20 litre bag with a couple of pockets on the outside that magnetically snap shut as well as a couple of pockets in the inside. It has a padded sleeve in the back that can fit a 15″ laptop and thick padded straps that make carrying it quite comfortable. The only thing that it is lacking is a waist strap. If you are okay without that extra support, then this bag is definitely one to consider.
Go Pro Hero 4 Silver
Meet my new travel buddy…the GoPro Hero 4 Silver. I am so excited to bring this baby on all of my upcoming adventures! I was previously using the GoPro Hero 2 for my underwater videos, but this new and improved GoPro is about to take that footage to a whole other level. Here are awesome features of the GoPro Hero 4 Silver:
Built-in touch display
Captures 1080p60 and 720p120 video with lifelike clarity, plus 12MP photos at a staggering 30 frames per second.
Exceptionally smooth slow-motion playback of all your highlights
12MP Burst photos at a blistering 30 frames per second. Capture single photos, or choose Time Lapse mode to shoot photos automatically at set time intervals from 0.5 to 60 seconds
HiLight Tag feature lets you mark key moments for easy playback, editing and sharing
QuikCapture feature allows you to power on the camera and start recording with the press of a single button.
Waterproof to 131' (40m)
New Night Photo and Night Lapse modes offer customizable exposure settings of up to 30 seconds for single and Time Lapse photos
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
The SuperView GoPro-exclusive video mode captures the world's most immersive wide-angle perspective
Auto Low Light Mode enables you to move between bright and dark environments without having to adjust your camera settings.
New audio system captures clean, high fidelity sound.
Protune feature unlocks the camera's full potential, delivering minimally compressed, cinema-caliber video optimized for professional productions, and advanced manual controls for photos and video.
GoPro 3-Way
The GoPro 3-in-1 mount can be used as a camera grip, extension arm or tripod. It expands to 20" (50.8cm) and collapses to 7.5" (19cm) making it super easy to bring along in your day pack. It's also super light! If you have a GoPro, then I highly recommend purchasing one of these.
Origins Drink Up Intensive Over Night Face Mask
Origins Drink Up Intensive is a luxurious face mask that quench's the skins thirst. For those of you who have flown in an airplane, you know it can get quite dry up there. One of the worse feelings is having your beautiful sun-kissed skin peel away during your flight home. Who wants to be itching themselves non-stop for hours? Not me! This fask mask is incredible at keeping your face hydrated. You can even rub it on other parts of your body too if you wish. It is formulated without any parabens, sulfates and phthalates. It also smells incredible!
Dream Cap
This Dream Cap from CyberDog is the most fun and colourful hat that's I've ever owned. I am absolutely obsessed with it. It's always a good idea to bring a hat with you on your travels, and this has definitely become my go to hat. I mean it has cyber unicorns on it! Does it get any better than that? I think not!!
That's it for my March/April Monthly Travel Favorites! I'll be posting my monthly favorites at the beginning of every month, so be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and head on back to my blog so you don't miss out!

After discussing it with Linzy, I didn't go to today's doctors appointment. We have three a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday), and based on our results from the end of last week the message was that we were going to be making it closer to week 39 than originally thought. So the plan (Linzy suggested/approved I might add) was to only go to the Wednesday and Friday appointments this week.
Originally, I was thinking that just to be safe I would drive in to work on the off chance that something unexpected happened. But then I was running late and with the ice/snow this morning I figured the roads would be a mess. So I decided that if I drove I wouldn't have made it to the office in time for my first meeting, and rode the bus instead.
As it turned out, this appointment the baby passed with flying colors, but Linzy herself had some things that concerned them, and so got sent right over to labor & delivery. Since this was at 3:15pm there were no buses, so I got to take the $60 cab ride from downtown to Lakeville.
Luckily everything checked out just fine after more detailed tests and so we were sent back home to keep baking the baby. Perhaps we'll find out more at the remaining appointments this week. Then again, perhaps not as the doctors can be certainly be what might politely be referred to as 'cagey'. Things would definitely be termed day-to-day at this point though.

I've mentioned my love of Amazon many times, especially for the past few years when we've had Prime. The two day shipping on everything is great and makes all the difference in not wondering when something is finally going to show up. It's also fast enough that even with my impatience, I don't often succumb to the 'I need it now' impulse.
Anyways, one of the things that I like about Amazon with or without prime is their lack of screwing around when it comes to shipping stuff. No multi-day wait for processing, no 'billing information received' by the shipping company but yet no actual shipment, etc. You order it, they send it out. With Prime it's even more dramatic since there is no 'collecting' of orders into one shipment, stuff appears to go out asap.
Unfortunately this weekend that came around to bite me in the ass. We ordered some towel bars and other hardware for one of the extra bathrooms upstairs. After some debate about the color to get, we settled on one. After placing the order I was upstairs and looked at our other bathrooms (which each have different colors) and changed my mind on what color I wanted.
So I went downstairs, told Linzy I was changing the order, only to find out...it was already being prepared for shipping and couldn't be changed. I ordered it, they shipped it. Exactly what I normally want. Except when I don't.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I like any reason to have a few free days off work and spend time with family and friends, but Thanksgiving for some reason has a special place in my heart. Strangely I think it is at least partially because of the association with the start of the holiday season, and the lead up to Christmas (my favorite holiday). But I do enjoy Thanksgiving on its own merits as well.
This year we stayed close to home, which was fortunate since the weather wasn't all that nice on Wednesday. We spent Thursday at my parents house having a good time, watching some football and eating way too much delicious food.
The rest of the weekend was laid back and filled with miscellaneous chores around the house trying to get all the last minute things done for the baby and some shopping. We were able to avoid the crowds for the most part, which I didn't mind at all. On the baby front we had our 37 week ultrasound and things there are going better then they were last week. So the waiting game continues. Week 38 (Friday Dec 3rd) is possibility, and the latest we would go is Week 39 (Friday Dec 10th).

All of the fervor over the backscatter machines they are using at the airports these days seems destined to result in their removal. Certainly enough people seem up in arms about them, and the whole scheme seems rife for perverts, privacy concerns and questions about the effectiveness in the first place.
On my trip to San Jose last month I was selected to go through one for the first time. I did not object and went through the machine, but the whole process actually took much longer then I was expecting. The delay after having gone through until they reviewed my image was significantly longer then it would have taken to go through the metal detector. Especially when they had to do an extra inspection of my arm to look at my watch.
I can only imagine what it will be like as they try to ramp up the number of people going through it, and have people objecting, are doing the extra pat-downs, and generally just having problems. Seems like a disaster for anyone traveling this holiday week.
On the positive side, thus far I haven't grown any strange appendages. On the negative side I also haven't yet developed super powers, so perhaps it takes more then one trip before the XRays take effect.

Well Covered
A few weekends ago I spent some time installing the car seat base into one of our cars. After testing getting the car seat in and out, I ended up leaving the car seat in the car for Linzy to see. She tested it out later and afterwards we decided to just leave it in the car since that's where it will be needed eventually anyways. One less thing to forget to bring to the hospital, was the theory.
That night we had some errands to run and ended up going out to dinner. While getting seated I realized a serious flaw in leaving the car seat in the car: the car seat happened to have a fleece cover over it, that we were testing out to see how it fit. With the cover on, you couldn't see anything in the car seat. And that fully covered seat was left unattended in a parked car.
On the way out, I was explaining our folly to Linzy and joking about how I was expecting to find a horde of people and police surrounding the car concerned about the idiots who had left their baby in the car while going in for a meal. Luckily no one noticed and/or cared (it was a relatively empty restaurant parking lot) and so we were spared trying to explain how our inexperience dealing with car seats didn't mean we were unfit future parents.
While the car seat is still in the car, the covering is now sitting on the seat next to it. So at least we can say we learned our lesson.

Baby's Room
We continue to inch closer to being more-or-less ready for the arrival of the baby. Among the things finished this weekend was the baby's room. Where as a few weeks ago we literally had nothing in the room, it is now painted, filled with furniture and the drawers and closet are bursting with soon-to-be-outgrown clothes.
It's looking like the room may be done none-to-soon as we had a trip to the hospital this weekend to have the baby checked out. Everyone got a clean bill of health, but as the weeks go by it's looking more and more likely that the baby will be joining us early. My money's on Friday, but we'll see.
Finally, some pictures of the baby's room:

Much Improved
I had an appointment this morning so I drove in to work. The trip home was my first in rush hour since they finished the 35/62 crosstown project, and I was impressed by how nice it was. Over the past three years they've obviously been completing it a bit at a time but because of the lane closures and funky rerouting of traffic, traffic was actually worse or at best not any better. But now that everything is done, there were hardly any slowdowns even though I was leaving in prime rush hour. I imagine it will be even better once the HOV/MNPass lane opens up.
Obviously the bus drives on it every day, but I am officially immersed in my DS games at that point so I hadn't noticed the improvement. Interestingly because my normal bus home has shifted a bit later, even if the trip is faster I get home around the same time. Two steps forward, one step back.

Dubious Honor
Last week I got a letter in the mail containing what amounts to a rather dubious honor: gold frequent flier status. That brings with it very few real benefits because in reality it is a pittance compared to how much some people travel, and to me just amounts to a reminder about being away from home too much.
Strangely this year was the first year that I hit 50,000 miles even though I actually flew far less miles then I did last year. While I took more trips this year they were much shorter (four that hit the minimum of 500 miles per flight), and it was only the miles that I carried over from last year that allowed me to squeak past 50k miles for the year (51,977 to be exact).
Anyways, this year I was away on business for a total of 37 nights:
Jan: 5 nights (Boston)
May: 5 nights (San Francisco and Appleton)
June: 3 nights (Appleton)
July: 5 nights (Appleton)
August: 3 nights (Denver)
September: 13 nights (Omaha and India)
October: 3 nights (San Jose)
37 nights is pretty comparable to last year's 36 nights. In 2008 it was only 29 nights, while 2007 was the highest at 44 nights.
The unfortunate part is that the trips continue to be packed into the summer and fall, which is of course the best time to be in Minnesota. Surprisingly few clients in Hawaii have emergencies in February, I guess.
This year the trips were generally shorter then they have been in the past, something I think will probably continue. Over the next year it seems unlikely that I'll be as lucky with nearby clients, but I would expect the overall amount of time away to be similar even if the flights are longer.

I mentioned a few weeks ago about my disappointment when my Shure headphones stopped working, or at least when one half of the headphones stopped working. I forgot to mention last week that I was actually able to repair them. Sort of.
Since they were more-or-less unusable in their current state, I decided to get aggressive with my repair plan, and after searching through my toolbox for a while found a few screwdrivers and miscellaneous tools that were long and thin enough to stick into the ear bud through the sound canal. After messing around for a bit, I managed to pull out a really small foam piece that was wedged in the canal. I assume to protect the speaker.
But after removing the foam the sound was much loud, perhaps it had gotten dirty over time. In fact, removing the foam made the right earbud so much louder that I ended up having to remove the foam from the left earbud as well to make them the same volume again.
Unfortunately the foam was so small I couldn't really clean it or anything, and I ended up losing one of the pieces in the process of trying to clean it. So now I'm just going without the foam and everything seems good. I was quite happy to have the headphones back and operational. We'll see how long they last unprotected by microscopic foam pads.

Change of Plans
This weekend Linzy had a breastfeeding class that I declined to attend, and so my Mom went with her instead. The plan was to finish up the last of the fall yard work on Saturday, pulling out the hostas and trimming some of the bushes that got a little asymmetrical during their first year. That turned out to be not such a good plan.
On Friday night when we were driving home from visiting friends, the snow was just starting. By the time the dog woke me up on Saturday morning to go outside, we already had a bunch of snow on the ground, and it was still coming down. It snowed all day, basically, and we ended up with a bunch of snow.
How much exactly is hard to tell since it was really wet and so tended to pack down pretty tightly. Plus since I cleared the driveway twice (once for Linzy to leave and once to come home) I never really cleared the full amount. On the positive side, my snowblower actually put together two consecutive reasonable performances, saving my back from having to shovel the super heavy snow by hand.
With the snow the weekend ended up pretty laid back. In addition to the previously mentioned dinner at Jason and Tanwi's house with former co-workers, I did miscellaneous chores around the house while Linzy was at class, we watched a movie, and today just mostly relaxed. It was a nice change of pace.

Cover Band
Linzy and I were watching TV tonight and an ad came on for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tour. As the tour dates scrolled by and went on and on, I started to wonder how they were fitting all those dates in the two months until Christmas. Then I started noticing dates showing up twice in multiple cities.
A closer inspection thanks to the DVR confirmed that there are apparently two separate orchestras touring as part of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra winter 2010 tour. That seems kind of strange.
Admittedly they aren't really known as something you go to see a particular virtuoso player, and I can't name a single member of the band. On the other hand I'm not exactly a fan, so perhaps a fan would know people and be disappointed if they ended up with the 'B' squad orchestra.
All of this begs the question of when going to see this stops being going to see 'Trans-Siberian Orchestra' and start becoming going to see a Trans-Siberian Orchestra cover band?

After a really busy September and early October, the last few weekends have been a bit more laid back. We even found time to watch a few movies together, although most of the ones on the list below were entertainment for the elliptical machine.
The Runaways - I knew very little about the Runaways, and after watching the movie I didn't really learn that much more about them. I did, however, learn that Kristin Stewart is a freaky Joan Jett-doppelganger. It was almost disturbing how much she looked and moved like Joan Jett. The story turned out to be pretty boring for a drug and sex filled dramatization of rock-and-roll band's rise and fall. I did get a Joan Jett album afterwards though, so I guess that part of the marketing worked.
Iron Man 2 - Linzy and I watched this. She liked it, I was bored. Some funny parts and cool special effects, and also some really predictable parts where the story just got mired in boringness.
The Losers - Linzy and I watched this the following weekend and both heartily enjoyed it. As far as I can recall, I had never heard of it until Netflix recommended it, but they turned out to be spot on. There was over-the-top violence, humorous dialogue, and telekenetic bullets!
Idiocracy - Recommended to me by a friend years ago when I made a comment about 'someday' having kids, and it just finally made it to the top of the queue. An interesting premise, but the actual movie left quite a bit to be desired.
Godfather 2 - A follow-up to my enjoyment of watching the Godfather last month. So good. I will admit to some boredom during the trip to Cuba part of the movie. Oh, but the end is well done.
Kick-Ass - Linzy and I watched this, and both enjoyed it. I was quite concerned that she wouldn't, but she was able to enjoy the humor in a misfit trying to be a superhero. I really enjoyed the story and fight scenes, though am shocked that Hit Girl's parents let her do the movie. Yikes. I will absolutely see the sequel.
Claymore - An anime series that I had never heard of until Netflix recommended it with four stars. I've watched three episodes so far and am enjoying it. Not perhaps quite as much as I enjoy things like Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex, but on par with many of the other series I've watched over the years.
It Might Get Loud - This is a documentary on the electric guitar featuring Edge from U2, Jimmy Page and Jack White. I intended to watch only the first hour while exercising and then finish it later this week, but instead I found myself watching the whole thing in one sitting. I'm not exactly sure what was so interesting, because they jumped around a lot and only covered random bits of history about the careers as guitarists of all three. But nonetheless I was entertained.
Looking back at this list and the last few months' list, somewhere a Netflix scientist should be getting a fat bonus for his recommendation engine.

The Greatest
This week is the 24th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros, and I saw in an interview the creator of the Super Mario games (and Zelda and a bunch of others, of course) Shigeru Miyamoto said that his favorite Super Mario game was Super Mario World. I couldn't agree more.
I've enjoyed countless hours of Super Mario games, including Bill and I spending hours and hours playing through Super Mario 1 in college, but Super Mario World stands out clearly as my favorite. It is the game that finally made me sell my Sega Genesis (which I had sold my NES for), because it looked so awesome in Nintendo Power. Why, exactly, I was still getting Nintendo Power despite having sold my NES I don't recall, but nonetheless the write-ups and then watching the game play on a demo system sold me on converting back to Nintendo.
Super Mario World took the map and secrets from Super Mario 3 to the next level, added the cape and Yoshi to the mix, and added all sorts of new challenges and platforming goodness. I liked being able to pick my way around the map and being able to tell (or guess) that there was some other exit from a given level, and then spending tons of time trying to figure out where it was.
Because of its length, I've only played through Super Mario World completely twice. But thanks to Nintendo's complete lack of shame about selling me games I already own for new systems, I'm sure that I'll play it again at some point. And there's always the SNES sitting down in the basement that might be begging for a bit of retro gaming.

Undamaged Goods
Last month I ranted about the problems we were having getting a crib delivered undamaged, and the absolute crap packing job that company did. After the second (or third depending on how you count) damaged item came we declared that company dead to us and moved on to another crib.
After about six weeks of waiting for it to be made, it finally arrived a few weeks ago and the difference in packing was night and day. The new crib came in pristine condition thanks to custom styrofoam ends holding each piece perfectly in place, extra pieces ensuring everything stayed exactly where it was, and thin foam wrap around everything as (apparently) triple insurance. In short, it was exactly how you would do things if you actually cared about how things looked when they arrived.
The dresser that was also ordered was similarly carefully packed, even though it is a solid wood monster. Wven then, there were extra cardboard spacers to ensure the corners were protected, and a second wood bottom to protect the bottom of the feet from damage. Just in case, I guess.
We were getting a little nervous as things continued to drag on, since we were originally quoted up to 10 weeks for the Young America/Stanley factory to make them. But now that they are here and came in perfect condition, everyone is happy. And that's very important at this point.

Poor Selection
I've discussed my disdain for the used video games business model before, but in a moment of weakness when we were cleaning out the house before putting it on the market last summer I traded in a pile of old DS games that I had already finished as well as loaned to Brenden. The games needed to go, and because of the time crunch I didn't have the ability to sell them piecemeal over Craigslist.
I didn't buy a game at that time, and so the credit remained at the store unused for over a year. A few weeks ago I was finally bored with Final Fantasy 13's extra missions and had a moment of inspiration on a game that I could buy used: Halo 3. It's old, but was populate enough for there to be many people looking to sell it, and all those kids who live and breathe Halo are quick to move on to the next big thing and the target market for a used game store to prey on.
So one weekend I used credit to pick up a cheap copy of Halo 3. It was reasonably fun and so a few weeks later I had beaten it and was ready for something different. So I traded it back in, making my total cost for the game a little less then $10. Not bad I suppose, although a little pricey for the limited hours I played it. Emboldened by this experience I was hoping to use up some more credit on another game.
I went into the store with half a dozen in mind that would work, and another few that would be last resorts. In what shouldn't have been a surprise to me, none of the games were there. Not the first choices, nor the reserves. Looking through the games that were there, I was disappointed with the atrocious selection, even though I went in prepared for the worst with multiple choices.
I suppose that is what you get when your business model is to buy games that no one wants anymore. But it was still frustrating to see shelf after shelf filled with shovelware and the few games that I might have swallowed hard and gotten priced for more then they cost new from Amazon. And so, all but $10 of my credit from a year ago still sits unused in their computer system.
At this rate in 5 or 6 years I should be free of having to feel guilty when considering just purchasing a game new rather then trying to get it used. Turns out the business model of giving you 20% of the price of the game for trade-in and charging you 80% of the new price to buy another used, pales in comparison to giving you 20% for trade-in and giving you nothing back in return.

Consumer (Up)grade
Almost three months ago I wrote about our wireless router that had been in the process of dying a slow death for months. On Monday Linzy had finally had enough and demanded that I stop making both myself and her suffer with a known-to-be-malfunctioning router.
So today the new router arrived in the mail and after about 15 minutes of work to install and configure the new router the difference is night and day. I knew there would be a difference, but at the same time I was somewhat concerned in the back of my mind that the problem was actually the ~9 year old cable modem sitting right next to the router and I would be spending money on nothing.
But today we proved that it was completely the router at fault. No more having to try to load pages repeatedly every 15-30 minutes and/or reboot the router every few days. I should have bucked up and bought a replacement months ago. Not that I am saying I was wrong and Linzy was right. Not at all.

In One Ear
A little over Three years ago I ended up with a strange sequence of events that ended up with having two brand new midrange headphones: a pair of Bose noise canceling, and Shure SE 210 sound isolating earbuds. I never really used the noise canceling headphones all that much, because the active noise cancellation seemed to give me headaches. The Shures on the other hand were awesome.
I use them all the time, especially once I got a newer ipod that could hold all my music. And not just on those plane flights for work, but also frequently on the bus, especially if someone around me is loud.
Anyways, the Shure headphones were awesome, but all that use took its toll. About six months ago the left heaphone's rubber wrapping started coming off. It didn't seem to affect the operation, so I just kept using them. But then on the flight to India the right earphone stopped working, or was playing sound so soft that you couldn't hear it.
This had happened once before when some junk got in the earphone and was blocking the sound chamber, but either that wasn't the case here or during my attempts to clean it out with makeshift found-on-an-airplane equipment made matters worse. In any case, the right headphone has never worked right since.
It is hard to describe how annoying it is to listen to music or a movie in one ear only. I'm disappointed because even though I got so much use out of the headphones, I was expecting them to last more then three years. And it's hard to justify spending a bunch of money on new headphones when I have plenty of other pairs, including those aforementioned never-used Bose headphones and lots of various earbuds.
But while they all sound better then one ear'd Shure headphones, they don't sound as good as the Shures used to.

California Hockey
While I was in San Jose last week on Wednesday night I went with two co-workers to see the San Jose Sharks play the New Jersey Devils. I am not a huge hockey fan, as evidenced by the fact that the only professional hockey games I've been to all having been either free tickets or with work, but it was fun to see a different stadium.
The HP Pavilion arena was interesting. From the outside it looked like pretty modern and cool with a bunch of soaring metal and glass windows on either end. Inside the walkways and walls/ceilings turned out to mostly be plain, dull concrete.
The stadium is much less steep then the Excel, so our seats were quite a way further from the ice then ideal. But you could actually see pretty well considering we bought the tickets outside the stadium for about what we would have paid for last minute tickets through ticketmaster/stubhub.
The game was good, both teams are struggling this year but the Sharks put things together in this game and won handily. It helped that Martin Brodeur was looking every one of his 38 years and had a terrible game. Since the Sharks were so far ahead, things got a little chippy and the goons came out for a couple fights. That kept things interesting.
One thing that was a bit different at San Jose, other then vast selection of mexican food that was available, was the clothing that everyone was wearing inside the arena. Basically everyone had what was probably their warmest jacket on, and many many people were sporting hats. I was rocking short-sleeves as it happened, just to show off that thick Minnesota blood.
Overall going to the sharks game was fun evening entertainment.
