Debt crisis pushes euro lower still
Europe's spreading debt crisis has pushed the euro down to its lowest point against the dollar in more than two years.
Spain's borrowing rates spiked again, pushing the country closer to needing a financial lifeline.
Investors worry that if Spain has to be rescued, the rest of Europe will not be able to afford it.
The yield on Spain's 10-year government bond spiked above 7.5%, a sign that investors are worried about the country's ability to pay its debts.
Experts believe that those rates are unsustainable in the long run. Greece, Ireland and Portugal had to ask for emergency financial support after their borrowing rates rose above 7%.
Traders also sold the euro after Moody's ratings agency lowered its outlook for Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, saying those stronger countries might have to give financial aid to Spain or Italy.
The euro fell to 1.2061 dollars from 1.2125 dollars on Monday. The euro fell as low as 1.2041 dollars earlier, its lowest point against the dollar since June 2010.
The pound fell to 1.5504 dollars from 1.5521 dollars.

A Sangiovese Merlot and Cabernet blend with the emphasis on Sangiovese, aged for 8 months in used wooden barrels. A very pure fruity wine, vivid red cherry and raspberry flavours, soft and generous with a bitter sweet herbal twist, bright and refreshing, long true and very moreish.
Contains Sulphites.
The Dubini family bought Il Palazzone Estate back in 1970 and have since been investing heavily in it to produce supreme Orvieto Classico. Unique amongst white Italian wines for its complex blend of fi ve different varietals, it is not a straightforward wine to make due to the different ripening times of each variety. The Dubinis, however, seem to pull it off with consummate ease! The Dubini Bianco is fundamentaly de-classified Orvieto that is tasted before bottling and deemed to be for youthful consumption. The two top cuvées here are the Terre Vineate and Campo del Guardiano. The vineyards are ploughed to allow every drop of water to penetrate deep into the moist clay soils, a green harvest is carried out, grapes are picked by hand and vinification takes place in the modern winery without any use of wood. These are silky, suave Italian whites that betray an envigorating freshness in their youth but develop great complexity with age.
Umbria is one of the smaller Italian wine making regions, with an annual production a mere third of neighbouring Tuscany. Orvieto is the major DOC for whites, and yet throughout the region a huge variety of red and white wines are produced from a number of different grape varieties.

IB stands for In Bond. Wines that are stored In Bond have not had UK Duty and VAT paid on them.
Most of our wines are available for purchase under bond, as fine wines often need to be laid down in order to allow them to mature. Many clients choose therefore to store them in our bonded warehouse and pay the tax as and when they wish to get the wines delivered. Please note that Wines purchased In Bond can be exported to non-EU countries without the need for Duty and VAT to be paid.
DP stands for duty paid. If you wish to get wines delivered for drinking, the duty and VAT will need to be paid as it leaves its bonded state in the warehouse. The wine is then said to be duty paid.
All taxes must be paid in order for us to be authorised to ship or deliver wine (unless the wine is bonded and being moved to another bonded warehouse or being shipped directly outside of the EU.)
EP stands for En Primeur. These wines are currently held with the Estate and Domaine's we work with and will be shipped in due course.

Dear Secretary Vilsack:
I write on behalf of several New Hampshire school districts to share their concerns regarding the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) proposed nutritional guidelines for school meals.
As you know, in January 2011, USDA published a proposed rule to update the nutrition standards for meals served through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs as part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-296). Implementation of this rule would advance a worthy goal of increasing the availability of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free and low-fat milk in school meals.
Nearly one-third of children in America are overweight or obese. From 1980 to 2008, the prevalence of obesity in the United States more than tripled among children and adolescents. As a mother, I recognize how important it is for children to learn and practice healthy habits, such as eating a balanced diet and exercising. Certainly, it is of great importance that New Hampshire's citizens make healthy lifestyle choices.
While the goal of improving the nutrition and health of American students is laudable, I am concerned that the new federal requirements will place a significant financial burden on local New Hampshire schools. In cold weather climates, such as in the northeast, some fruits and vegetables will not be available year-round. Unable to purchase these products locally, school districts will see an increase in their already-rising food costs. Nationally, the proposed changes to the nutritional guidelines are projected to cost approximately $7 billion over 5 years. Taking into account these estimates, the proposed mandates represent an enormous cost at a time when schools can least afford it.
As the rule-making proceeds, I encourage the Department to ensure that any new federal mandates do not undermine the ability of local school districts to continue serving low-income students who rely heavily on school meal programs. Additionally, as USDA moves forward, it is important to appreciate that local school districts, with input from parents and administrators, are best-positioned to make decisions for local schools - including what's on their lunch menu.
Given the concerns I have heard from New Hampshire school districts, I respectfully request that you reconsider the proposed guidelines on school nutrition. Many state and local school districts have cautioned that the aggressive implementation schedule of the proposed change will lead to unduly burdensome costs. While school meal guidelines should promote high nutritional standards for America's students, we must also avoid the imposition of unfunded federal mandates on states and local communities that are already struggling to stretch their budgets in this difficult economy.
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to your reply.

Although called the 53rd existence, there are actually multiple Undeads known as Joker Undead or simply called the Jokers, much like in a card deck.
If any of them were to win the Battle Fight, it would mark the end of all life on Earth, and the Battle Fight would be reset to begin anew.
Sometimes referred as the Black Joker, he is the true identity of Hajime Aikawa. He technically "wins" the Battle Royale at the end of the series when Giraffa is sealed, but Kenzaki's sacrifice allows Hajime to continue living as a human and need not be sealed, with the Spirit Human keeping him in line. In Missing Ace, he was initially sealed by Blade and remained so in the four-year timeskip. After being unsealed by Leangle to protect Amane from Glaive's assault, Hajime chose to sacrifice himself in order to make Jashin 14 vulnerable for the others to attack, it is unlikely he died however, considering Undead can't be killed. In the series Kenzaki became a Joker to put the Battle Fight at a stalemate, thereby ending it without sealing Hajime. However, this causes both Kenzaki and Hajime to not meet each other again. Since, they will be forced to fight until dead, as they are now rivals.
Joker (Artificial)
Joker reappeared in Kamen Rider Decade in the World of Blade as the final evolution of BOARD CEO Hajime Shijo. Hajime stole the Garren and Leangle Buckles, and used the life forces of Hishigata and Mutsuki to complete the Joker Rouse card, which he used as Chalice to transform himself into the Joker Undead. After assuming the Joker's form, however, he was destroyed by Blade (as a Final Form Ride) and Decade.
Super Hero Taisen
In Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, Joker is one of Dai-Shocker's Great Commanders. He takes on the Gokaiger successfully, but is later seemingly defeated by the combined Rider and Super Sentai forces. He doesn't make many appearences during the war, although when the Gokaigers and Kamen Rider OOO are being attacked by Rider Hunter Silva, he is seen fighting Red1 of Bioman, who is encouraging Gokai Silver to show Silva the power of a real silver. His human identity isn't made clear in the movie.

Bond classic
Related topics
Omega has added more 007 features to its new limited-edition Seamaster, which blends good looks with precision movement
JAMES BOND is back with a new look, but he still sports an Omega Seamaster. The new Seamaster James Bond watch is a professional diver's model in stainless steel. Bond fans will instantly recognise the spiral motif embossed on the dial: the same design that is seen in the opening credits of the films.
To add to the Bond influence, the seconds hand has been crafted to include the numerals 007. This is one of the first Bond watches to be equipped with the technically advanced Co-Axial escapement.
This exclusive Seamaster has more Bond features than previous models and is being made in a limited series of 10,007 pieces.
The James Bond Limited Series is popular among collectors and adopts classic design features such as the distinctive case design, the curved horns and contrasting polished and brushed surfaces, as well as the blue 'Bond' bezel and dial.
In true Bond style, Omega has ensured that the latest Bond watch blends eye-catching looks with a high specification and precision movement. It meets the requirements of a professional diver's watch and each one is made to the rigorous standards that give it a COSC chronometer certificate.
It is water-resistant to a depth of 300 metres and is equipped with a helium escape valve at the 10 o'clock position. This allows any helium that collects inside the watch during a deep dive to escape during decompression, a vital feature when using a diving bell, as helium atoms can penetrate a watch case and could cause it to explode during decompression unless the gas can escape.
Other features that mark this as a professional diver's watch are the use of a screw-down crown and a screw-down case back. The rotating bezel features luminous dots and is unidirectional, a safety feature to be found on all serious divers' watches.
The hands of the Seamaster James Bond are highly visible and are coated with Superluminova, a luminous material. The seconds hand has a red tip so that it can be distinguished easily.
The 41mm diameter stainless steel cases houses a Calibre 2500 automatic movement which provides a 48-hour power reserve. The proprietary Omega Co-Axial technology offers improved long-term reliability and accuracy. Performance is further enhanced by the use of a free-sprung balance that allows the watch to be adjusted more precisely.
The case back features an embossed 007 gun logo and the series number of each watch in the limited edition. The series comes with a brushed and polished stainless steel bracelet and has a safety clasp also engraved with the 007 logo.

If the kids trade items, once the food is at the table, is anyone really going to make a fuss over it?

Huge vapours brood above the clifted shore,
Night o'er the ocean settles, dark and mute,
Save where is heard the repercussive roar
Of drowsy billows, on the rugged foot
Of rocks remote; or still more distant tone
Of seamen, in the anchored bark, that tell
The watch relieved; or one deep voice alone,
Singing the hour, and bidding "strike the bell."
All is black shadow, but the lucid line
Marked by the light surf on the level sand,
Or where afar, the ship-lights faintly shine
Like wandering fairy fires, that oft on land
Mislead the pilgrim; such the dubious ray
That wavering reason lends, in life's long darkling way.

Mr Jeff Wanjala CEO of Wam Fam Clothings
Meet Mr Jeff Wanjala CEO of Wan Fam Clothing.
Africanhighway.com is pleased to have interviewed Mr Jeff Wanjala an urban clothing line entrepreneur with a Slogan : Live in your world, Get dressed by ours! our very own African FUBU.
Africahighway.com: What ignited the spark in you to start a business? How did the idea for your business come about?
Mr Wanjala: I had a friend who used to do good hand painting on t-shirts for me and other clients. I also had a small brother who was good in graffiti. When my friend got an office job and quit his hand painting business I asked him for his brushes and paint. I bought t-shirts and gave my brother to do some work on them. I later took pictures of the t-shirts and posted on Facebook and got thirteen orders and we grew from there
Africahighway.com: Where did your organizations funding/capital come from and how did you go about getting it?
Mr Wanjala: My funding came from savings mostly from other small hustles I used to do. It also came from clients since I started a model where clients pay deposit for their order beforehand thus being able to fund production.
Africahighway.com: How do you go about marketing your business? What has been your most successful form of marketing?
Mr Wanjala: When we started most of our marketing was word of mouth and to me that is one of the best marketing strategies because it comes with trust for your products and business. After that we moved on social media which has become one of our most successful marketing strategies. We also do events which are also doing very well.
Africahighway.com: How did you build a successful customer base?
Mr Wanjala: We do that by first offering unique and quality products. Secondly we do that by treating a customer than just another buyer. We try getting feedback on our brand and we improve based on customer demands and suggestions therefore making them feel more than just another buyer but more of part of the brand.
Africahighway.com: What book has inspired you the most? (OR what is your favorite book?)
Mr Wanjala: Freakonomics is one of my favorite books, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and also Rich Dad Poor dad. But mostly I read people and companies' stories and watch documentaries of big brands that made it and those that failed. I look for knowledge in every stream possible.
Africahighway.com: What has been your most satisfying moment in business?
Mr Wanjala: There was once we released it on Friday evening and on Monday it was sold out. It was really satisfying and successful. That gave me a different look on how the clients viewed our brand.
Africahighway.com: What is your greatest fear, and how do you manage fear?
Mr Wanjala: I really don't focus on fear…but…if I was ever to think about it then it would be fear that the brand will be forgotten one day.Or fear that people would look at my brand and it reminds them of something else rather than what we are selling. I manage that fear but trying to stay unique in terms of product designs, marketing etc. Also trying to get much information from our clients and know where we stand. I also read and learn a lot about brands that are making it and those that have failed because it's as important to know what to do as it is to know what not to do.
Africahighway.com: Do you believe there is some sort of pattern or formula to becoming a successful entrepreneur?
Mr Wanjala: I cannot necessarily call it a pattern but I can say there are few things that make you successful.
Persistence, the will to learn knew things, will to work with others goes a long way. Hard work
is also a big part of it.
Africahighway.com: How has being an entrepreneur affected your family/Social life?
Mr Wanjala: It has definitely shrunk the time I spend on my social life and even when I want to add the social life
in the menu I prefer surrounded with people who will challenge me to be better or grow as more
informed or just generally a better person.
Africahighway.com: What three pieces of advice would you give to college students who want to be entrepreneurs?
Mr Wanjala: Love what you do. In college it's more about just trying to get some cash so you jump from hustle to
hustle. If one doesn't work out you move to the next. The advantage of loving what to do is that even
when the tough gets tougher you still stick in there and try to figure out how to make it better. And if it
works and come out of the hole you come out better and if it doesn't then the experience and knowledge
is priceless.

Want to scare your organization's supervisors into complying with your employment policies? Point out that, under New Jersey law, they can be sued personally for their discriminatory actions. That means one on-the-job misstep can cost managers their homes, savings accounts and other personal assets to satisfy a court judgment.
Federal law doesn't allow such personal liability under Title VII discrimination claims. But state law—the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD)—says job-bias suits can target a supervisor's personal assets.
What's the likelihood that an employee's lawyer would add your supervisors (or you!) to a lawsuit? Very high, since it adds a certain psychological advantage. Plus, if the lawyer thinks your employer may be going out of business or can't pay a large judgment, he has to hedge his bets. In New Jersey, you're the hedge.
The only way to defend personal liability is to avoid lawsuits in the first place. Make sure you and your supervisors understand and comply with the law. Explain personal liability during training. And always document your decision-making processes.
Recent case: Sharon Davis, a black police officer in Newark, frequently complained that her supervisors treated her differently based on her race.
Higher-ranking officers, she said, had accused her of theft and insubordination (charges that were later dismissed). When Davis took a day off during her pregnancy, two officers and a doctor showed up at her door to make sure she was sick. That's when she sued them all under the NJLAD, both personally and for their actions on behalf of the city.
The federal court allowed the suit to go forward, saying supervisors who "aid and abet" an employer's unlawful actions can be liable, as well as anyone who "takes reprisals against another" because that person opposes discriminatory practices under the NJLAD. (Davis v. City of Newark, et al., No. 04-5317, DC NJ, 2006)

«… but our city, at the command of Zeus, and cares of the immortal gods, will never be destroyed, just so generous benefactor, the daughter of a powerful father, Pallas Athena stretched her hands over him …» Solon
Athens — the capital of Greece , is located in the central part of the country and its political, economic and cultural center. The city was founded about 3500 thousand years ago and has experienced its highest flowering about 4-5 centuries BC, when
Athens became the center of the ancient Greece classical culture, which so greatly influenced the development of Western civilization. It is connected with Athens such names as Pericles, Socrates, Plato, Aeschylus, Hippocrates, Aristotle, Sophocles laid the foundations of modern democracy, theater, medicine and art.
Photos of Athens
The Center is located around the Acropolis of Athens (see map of Athens), which together with areas of Monastiraki, Plaka, Sintagma Square is tourist center of Athens. All the monuments are situated on the small distances from each other, which makes it possible to sightseeing the city by foot.
However Athens has a well-developed transport infrastructure. The public transport system of Athens consists of trolleys, buses, trams and metro. To move on to Athens on a private transport is a little problematic, especially in the city center. You can easily get Piraeus (the Athens eternal companion) by using the metro.
In nowadays the population of Athens is more than 3.5 million; it's about a third of the total population of Greece.
Shopping in Athens
In Athens, you can buy any products — from local craft masters to well-known brands with a worldwide reputation. Malls of Athens are located in the areas of Monastiriaki, Syntagma and Omonia square.
Opening hours of shops — usually from 8 to 14 and from 17:30 to 20:30.
Leisure in Athens
In Athens, there is a huge number of clubs, cinemas, discos, sports grounds. Especially Athens leads in the number of activities taking place outdoors. For example, as part of the annual Athens Festival, which lasts all summer, you can enjoy by the leading opera and ballet bodies, orchestras and theater groups from around the world. Performances take place on the stage very well-preserved theater of Herodes in Attica, on the southern slope of the Acropolis.

"Endangered" Salamander Jeopardizes California Wine Regions
April 3, 2000
When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service placed the California tiger salamander on its emergency list of endangered species earlier this year, it struck fear in the hearts of the state's wine-grape growers. The action made it a crime to harm the critter or its habitat.
- Although the agency has yet to identify the precise location or range of the species or specify how the ponds in which it breeds must be preserved, farmers still face up to a year in jail and a $50,000 fine for harming it.
- The species has been found in one of the most promising and fastest-growing wine regions in California -- an area at the northern end of Santa Barbara County.
- The designation means that farmers can't mow or plow -- or convert farms into vineyards.
- In an area that has seen a number of farms convert to vineyards in recent years, growers suspect that many of the conservationists are wealthier urban residents who are trying to preserve the land for aesthetic reasons and using the salamander as an excuse.
"I am enough of a biologist to tell you that a lot of this stuff about the salamanders is junk science," says one vineyard owner. He says the biggest threat to the salamanders is cars, not vineyards.

GLEN Colless joked apprentice Melissa Cox and her mount My Idea must have had a vendetta against him after a lucky escape at Murwillumbah on Thursday.
Colless had just completed a winning double on Henny's Hero, after earlier success on I'm Adamant, when the usually routine return to scale took an unexpected turn, as these pictures taken by horseracingonly.com.au's Graham Potter show.
"We were just about at the winner's stall and I had kicked my irons out when something gave it a fright and it did a U-turn," Colless said.
"Bailing out would have been the best option but I didn't get time and I ended up on my arse."
Colless then had to escape the flying hooves of My Idea, who took fright in a chain reaction and dumped Cox.
"It did run over me, but luckily it just clipped the side of my head and must have got me on the ribs as well," he said. "The ribs are a bit sore and so is my neck, but otherwise I'm fine."
Colless, renowned for being one of the coolest heads in the jockeys room, noted Cox was later suspended over an incident from the same race.
"She cleaned me up at the half mile and got time for it.," he said. "She might have been on a mission!"
Winning trainer Matt Dunn was said to be most amused when it became apparent Colless had escaped serious injury.
Not to be deterred, Colless went on to completed a treble for Dunn, winning the final race on Aronson.
Colless rates Tornado Miss and the Dunn-trained Congo as his best hopes at Doomben today, but also expects Got Unders to run well.
"I rode him into third in the Grafton Guineas and he's a horse I've got a fair bit of time for," he said.

Annie Okies Runway Cafe Restaurant Review: The kitchen crew at this restaurant located at the first floor terminal of the Wiley Post Airport knows how to cook up breakfast and lunch specials just the way customers like them. The menu features a large and fluffy "baked omelet" and combination breakfast platters with fanciful names like "The Biplane Special" or "The B-2 Bomber." Monster scratch-made cinnamon rolls are irresistible, the salads are generous and fresh, and the burgers are juicy and served on homemade buns. We also recommend homespun specials like the meatloaf or the chicken and dumplings. Grab a seat by the window, and watch as planes take off or land, or grab a convenient takeout order if you're on-the-go. With very reasonable prices, this is a great place for the whole family --- they even have toys for the kids.

Light Reflectance
Ceiling systems are a key element of energy conservation. A well designed ceiling with high light reflectance improves space illumination, allowing for fewer light fixtures, a reduced electrical light output, lower maintenance costs and a reduced cooling load.
Daylight and electrical lighting represent the two primary sources of lighting in the workplace. The light reflectance of the ceiling, floor and wall surfaces play the second most important role for overall illumination of the room, directly affecting working comfort and productivity.
Benefits of High Light Reflectance Ceilings
- Light Reflectance ≥ 90% ⇒ 20% cost saving with indirect lighting
- Total building energy savings up to 11%
- 7% savings in cooling system energy
- High light reflectance ceilings contribute to LEED®, BREEAM, HQE, DGNB and Ska credits by improving visual comfort.

Energy Efficiency
CoolZone, at the heart of your energy ambitions..
Saves Carbon - Saves Cost - Improves Comfort
CoolZone incorporates BASF Micronal phase change material into Armstrong's plain metal ceiling tiles. The phase change material encased in the cassette stores and releases large amounts of energy, reducing cooling costs and maintaining a comfortable temperature in which to work, live, learn and play.
Thermal Mass
The thermal mass of the buildings structure absorbs daytime thermal gains. During the night time, the heat stored in the thermal mass of the building is released back to the room. Contact between the air within the room and the buildings thermal mass is needed in order for thermal transfer to occur.
Island ceilings provide an ideal solution in these instances. How? By adding design elements to a space and helping to maintain acoustical and visual comfort.

Relief, Development and Advocacy Seminar at Bishopthorpe
5:19pm 30th April 2012
The Archbishop of York Dr. John Sentamu and Mrs Margaret Sentamu today held a meeting with 52 people based from the Dioceses in the North of England to discuss relief, development and advocacy work.
The Archbishop was joined by the Rt. Revd. Justin Welby and the Rt. Rev Moses Masamba Nthuka of the Mbeere Diocese in Kenya at the seminar organised by the Church Mission Society, the Anglican Alliance and the Archbishop of Canterbury's International Development Officer at Bishopthorpe Palace. Representatives from USPG, Christian Aid, Tearfund and Mothers Union were also present.
The Bishop of Durham spoke on the subject of 'Good News for the Poor – at Home and in the Wider World'. Sally Keeble Director of the Anglican Alliance presented on making the most from Anglican partnership in dioceses across the world. The Rt. Revd Moses, Mrs Lucy Masamba Nthuka and Rev Malcolm Macnaughton, the Chief of Staff for the Archbishop of York, reflected on the nature of partnership links in Kenya.
Every Diocese in the Church of England has one or more links with a partner diocese in another part of the Anglican Communion. These links are expressed through regular communication including exchange visits, schools and parish links as well as providing funding for specific projects. In his talk, the Bishop of Durham stressed how these partnerships can be mutually transformative.
The Dioceses of Carlisle, Newcastle, Blackburn, Chester, Manchester displayed how their parish links had supported work with HIV/AIDS, education, access to healthcare, social action, encouragement and parish training.
The Archbishop said:
"I'm delighted to host this event today with the Anglican Alliance as we look at how our partnership links in the Anglican Communion bring positive changes to our own communities and across the Communion. It is important that we continue the work taking place to tackle poverty in this country and around the world and that we pray for those living in the poorest conditions. We should not forget we have a moral responsibility to help all those in need, no matter where they live".

Radiative Transfer in Coupled Environmental Systems: An Introduction to Forward and Inverse Modeling
Category: E-Book
Knut Stamnes, Jakob J. Stamnes, "Radiative Transfer in Coupled Environmental Systems: An Introduction to Forward and Inverse Modeling"
2015 | ISBN-10: 3527411380 | 368 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This book is dedicated to the formulation and solution of forward and inverse problems related to coupled media, and provides examples of how to solve concrete problems in environmental remote sensing of coupled atmosphere-surface systems.
The authors discuss radiative transfer in coupled media such as the atmosphere-ocean system with Lambertian as well non-Lambertian reflecting surfaces at the lower boundary. The spectral range from the ultraviolet to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum is considered, as are multi-spectral as well as hyperspectral remote sensing, while solutions of the forward problem for unpolarized and polarized radiation are discussed in detail.

Wonder Woman
Day 6 is here and I'm changing the rules! There are two more characters I want to add that, although they are comic heroes, they are not strictly 'Super' heroes. If all goes to plan by Friday I should have all ten characters painted, and starting next week I maybe looking at some bad guys from the comic world too...
Back to today, you may now have noticed a pattern of two DC characters and then two Marvel characters, one male and then one female?
Today's DC Female is Wonder Woman
I must admit, I panted a Wonder Woman a little while ago and I'll also admit I didn't like the painting too much and have been waiting for an opportunity to have another go. I think I got it right this time. Back to Marvel tomorrow for the first of my two 'non-super' heroes.

Look, Look at What I've Bought Now!!!!
OMG! You just have to see the cutest things that I've bought now...
Oh, I'm in Xmas mode and have begun shopping (mainly stocking stuffers for the kids, right now).
Okay, I had "Positive Propaganda" on Artfire super-impose, my son, Brandon's picture onto a monkey's body and add the words "Monkey Boy" (our nickname for him) and it's been made into a key chain. I also purchased a lot of other magnets (mainly for work) from them, too.
Check out the shop and all the great buttons and more!
My other purchase was for myself...BOTH of them! I've been eyeing both of these Amigurumi hedgehogs for weeks now....finally gave in and decided to treat myself! LOL
I purchased them from Sandy who owns "Rosetree Creations". Go and see her other great items!!!
And then I purchased a variety of buttons from an Etsy shop, "Barrel of Monkeys". They have a really good deal going on for purchased sets (you can mix and match).
Can you guess which is for my 19 yr old and which is for my 15 yr old daughter?

Thunderstorms, Cool
Still in my robe
Lazy, tired, introspective, blue
Drinking Decaf Pomegranate Green Tea – Iced
"Enchanted" playing in the background for the MILLIONTH time
Plans for the day: Shower, Treadmill, Weights, Dishes, Laundry, Read…trying not to get too excited about my thrilling life…
I am reading A New Earth. Hopefully as I get further along, I will learn how to stop being such a complaining boob. I am just in a funk lately. It won't last. I sometimes get into these negative nostalgic swamps from which climbing out can be quite daunting. Not sure why it happens. But I really want to focus more on the present and let go of all the past and all which will be. I want to be at peace with who I am, where I am and what I am – right now. And that is why I am reading this book. Apparently it is "changing lives all over the country" according to Oprah. So, we shall see…
You know how they say everyone has at least one of "those who got away". A past guy or gal friend who slipped through their fingers only to be thought upon with sadness and regret later in life. Do you ever wonder if you are one of those to someone in your past? I do. Is that silly? I have to honestly say that even though I have been dumped countless times in my life – I still do not believe even one of them think of me in that way. And that isn't being down on myself, its just knowing them and knowing how their minds work. It is also knowing how I was back then. I was thinner, younger, prettier…but I was also demanding, jealous, possessive and insecure. Not too attractive of a memory I imagine. Especially during my Jack Daniels days. Yuck.
I also have these moments where I sense a smell or a see a tree or hear a sound which reminds me of a time I can barely remember from my childhood. I do not actually recall a significant situation, but really a snapshot or a feeling. Like when it is warm and sunny and the birds are chirping and that weird buzzing noise in the sky is humming through the breeze…it gives me this feeling of soft grass and youth and carefree summers. Not that my childhood was carefree or without its difficulties, but I was able, at that age, to be in the present. All I knew was 'at this moment, it is warm and cozy and there is no school.' I was able to just BE in the now. So, if I could do it at that age…I should be able to do it at this age. I am really going to make that effort. That way, instead of getting depressed that I am no longer lying in that grass having my whole life to look forward to – I can find the peace and joy in the place I am today, this very minute.
"That's just the fear talking
That's just the fear talking
That's just the fear…
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me, fear
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Don't kill you
Like it nearly killed me, fear"
~ Gomez "Hamoa Beach"

Whiney Mud Pit Moment
Okay so, this has been a weird past few days for me. Nothing eventful took place; in fact I have hardly left the house. But I am going through this mental/emotional debacle which is kind of hard to explain. But I will attempt to do so anyway. Confusion, frustration and boredom may come from reading this blog – just so you were warned.
On Friday I was going through an event calendar on the Milwaukee Journal site. As I was flipping through the various plays in the area, an ex boyfriend popped into my mind.
His name is Patrick. He was (well, still is) an actor. He lived in Milwaukee at the time and we dated for a couple of months shortly before I met my husband. We met on one of those internet dating sites (how lame is THAT??!!) and I actually liked him quite a bit. I cannot remember exactly why, but he was busy all of the time. I think he worked for several theatre groups doing lighting, sound and set design stuff in addition to his acting. Regardless, he was busy a lot and our time was always very limited. I do not think he was ever really "in" to us much. I remember the last day I saw him. We went out to my parents' house as did my brother and sister in law. I think we had lunch out there or something. He had to go back to Milwaukee after so I rode home with my brother. As he was behind us and about to turn, I waved and something inside me knew that was the last time I would see him. It was strange and sad.
Sure enough, not long after – a couple days maybe – we talked on the phone and he broke it off. Said he was so busy and wasn't ready for a commitment and all of those things guys say when they are 'just not into you'. I was upset for a while. Getting dumped sucks, as we all know. And the way I was back then – it really stung. I was single for a long time. I broke up with my long term boyfriend when I was 23. And I got married when I was 30. So that is a good 7 years of first dates. And I say first dates because that is primarily all I had. I was SO picky. I was just too lazy to try to make something out of little or nothing. If I didn't feel that spark – you know that spark…they talk about it in the movies usually when the James Blunt music begins to play – I would usually call it off immediately after the first date. So, when I did let a relationship develop, that meant I was genuinely "into" the dude. You see, where relationships were concerned, my intuition was fantastic but ONLY when it came to my own feelings. This highly sensitive intuition of mine sucked ASS when it came to finding guys who wanted me when I wanted them. But yea, I could tell in the first hour whether or not I wanted a relationship with the guy. If not, no second date (usually – I did make some exceptions). If yea, then I would usually fall hard and quick. And I don't think I was very good at hiding it which is probably why all the guys I really liked went running as though they were being chased by some frothy mouthed killer rabbit. RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!! Ugh. Gross. I am STILL embarrassed.
So okay…where was I? Okay okay. So, I was pretty upset for a while, but of course I got over it and lived to tell the tale. LOL. A few months later I met my husband. About a month after being with him, Patrick emailed me. He said he wanted to go out again – to give it another try…or something to that degree. Like I had said before, I really did like the guy. But I was very protective of myself and had that whole 'once bitten' thing going on. Plus, I was with this new guy who clearly liked me a lot and I had no questions about him being "into me". That choice felt much safer. So I explained that to Patrick. He was put off and in a mean kind of way told me to forget all about him and have a nice life. I haven't seen or spoken to him since.
That was about 7 years ago.
So, on Friday when he popped into my head, I decided to Google him. I ended up on his MySpace page and my jaw dropped. He now lives in Hollywood and is becoming successful in his life long dream. He even has an IMDB (like my favorite site ever) page. I was tempted to post his page, but I didn't know if that would be uncool. He looks fantastic and is obviously doing very well. So, this brought up a potpourri of emotions within me. Some less fragrant than desired. Not only did I have feelings of missing him – things about him, like his humor, our commonalities, his wit – but also I had all these "what ifs" floating around my mind. What if I had gotten back together with him? Would it have worked out? Would we both be in California right now living our dreams? Perhaps not. Maybe I would have dragged him down. Maybe he would have cheated on me. Maybe he would have brought me out there only to dump my ass and leave me all alone under a palm tree. What ifs are stupid. I know that. Complete waste of time. But that is me sometimes – Queen of Wasted Times.
My tangled up blues are not only due to him specifically, but also to my own personal disappointments. Many moons ago, I had dreams and passions and life wishes. I have not followed up on any of them. Acting, writing, my documentary ideas, law school, Hawaii….none of them have I pursued. I feel so stale and old and wasteful. I do have a family which I love. A daughter who is the world to me. A husband who would never do anything to hurt me (intentionally lol). A comfortable home. Nice car. Cable. Good food. My darling kitty cats. So, I really shouldn't be complaining should I?? In fact, I feel like a complete ass for doing so. So, throw your tomatoes. I understand. But I feel how I feel.
So, why not get off your fat ass and do something about it Heather? Ugh. DUH. I KNOW!! But I feel stuck. I mean, what can I REALLY do now? Let's be realistic here. I am married with a 3 year old child and an 8 year old step daughter. I do not even have my BA yet (about 4 full time semesters to go). And I am so olddddddddddddddddd. What are my options really? What can I REALLY accomplish at this point?
Okay, yes, I am being a total asshole. Just let me have my whiney mud pit moment would ya??!!
I doubt the guy even remembers me.
(Sorry – had to get one more negative whine in there.)
Tuesday April 15, 2008
So I have actually come to a decision…at least for the meantime…in regards to blogging here and elsewhere. And here is the dealio…
- I will be majorly limiting my time on The Journal Times site (local newspaper site I spoke about previously). I have removed all pictures and will no longer be sharing personal information on that site. I also took down the link to my personal site, which was on my profile there. And I deleted all of my past posts.
- Since TJT is really the only place I do blog other than my personal page, I don't really have any other places to worry about.
- I will continue to blog here on MSN Spaces as I have always done. In this day and age there are a bagillion and one websites out there (not even considering places like MySpace, Facebook, etc…) with a ton of pictures and personal stories. I really feel that it isn't anymore dangerous than going to the park, letting the kids play outside, writing a letter to the editor or sending in a picture for the Sunday Family Section of the newspaper. The reason I made this decision was partly due to the fact that with MSN Spaces, there are only 3 options as far as the privacy of your site. These are the ONLY options – which really suck.
- Only the author of the blog has access. What the heck is the point of that?
- Everyone in the world has access. This is how I have always had it.
- Those on your "Friends/Family" list who have MSN Live IDs can have access. Now, there is no way my people are going to all sign up for MSN Live and log in each time just to view my space. Si, this isn't a good option for me.
So, this is how it is. I am sure there are still many out there who disagree with my choices. But I will do this for the meantime and see how it goes. In all reality, the only place I have really had issues from was TJT or people from there. So, I think becoming a transient stranger on there will be most helpful in any worries I have had.
Charlie and I are planning an upcoming trip in the next few months. Just a short getaway. I initially made hotel reservations directly through the hotel. And for the hell of it I decided to check out www.hotwire.com. I took a chance and booked a room that was $100 bucks a night cheaper than what we were going to be paying. I seriously lucked out and got the same exact hotel!! So I am patting myself on the back for saving us 200 smackaroos!!
I highly recommend trying out that site when you can!! How awesome is THAT??!!
I got some kind of bug up my ass this past weekend and while we were at the mall, I decided to get a couple more holes in my right ear. I did have 2 piercings on the upper part and 3 on the lower lobe. I decided to add 2 more to make it line all the way up my ear. I like it. It does hurt more (not when I got them pierced, but now) than I remember, but only it if I touch it or lay on that side. I felt kinda silly in that Claire's chair in front of the store for all to see – just like I did decades ago as a kid.
Next on list – second tattoo…
I am looking forward to watching a new rental I got from Blockbuster. Wristcutters: A Love Story is an indie flick which caught my attention a while back after my husband mentioned it to me when he saw a trailer. It never came to a theatre around here, so I am glad it came out on DVD quickly. I guess it is basically about this sort of purgatory way station for people who kill themselves. I just think it sounded pretty interesting. I hope they did well with such a fascinating premise. It stars Patrick Fugit from Almost Famous, Tom Waits who is just too cool regardless and Will Arnett from Arrested Development (one of my all time favorite, though short lived shows).
Anyway, I will probably have to wait until this weekend to watch, but I am hoping it is a good one!!
Speaking of Arrested Development…I recently found on IMDB that there MAY be an Arrested Development movie in the works. I worry a movie will not do the show justice. But I will be SOOOO excited to see it!! There really have been very few television shows which have made me laugh as much. There were times I almost peed. So smart, twisted and wicked. I just loved AD.
My kitty, Bob, is doing pretty well. We are continuing with his kidney food and he gets Pepcid every morning. Apparently Feline Kidney Insufficiency causes a lot of acid in the tummy and it makes them not want to eat as much. But he takes the medicine nicely (hidden in a treat of course) and he eats just fine. He will not, however, eat ONLY the kidney food. It has to be mixed (about 50/50) with his Tuna Fancy Feast. The kidney food must taste like shit (or whatever would be palatabty offensive to a cat – since they DO like their asses) because he will not even TRY to eat it alone. I only wish he would gain some weight. He looks SO skinny. This is my big guy who everyone would tell me how fat he was. He was about 15 lbs and is now close to 10. He looks so odd. But his spirits are up as always and he acts just fine. Regular ole Bob – only a wee bit more spoiled these days.
Well, I guess that is it for now. I better be productive and get some things done around this house!!
Talk at ya soon.
Revealing Heather
I have had this inner struggle several times a year since starting my webpage in 2005. It is a struggle I cannot seem to win completely on either side of the argument. I have my little Heather on my left shoulder telling me that to live in fear is futile and against what I strive for. And I have another little Heather on my right saying that what some people tell me is true – I am being irresponsible and reckless with what and how much I reveal online. Right now, the two Heather's are fighting and it is truly a pain in the neck.
I primarily write and/or blog for my personal website (on MSN Spaces). But I also share some of these blogs on my local newspaper's website which has a blogging forum. I have been a member there for a couple years and have gotten to know some of the fellow members over this time. As you can imagine, my personality follows me to whatever site at which my fingers start typing away. So, basically I am pretty much as open there as I am on my personal site. And even when I am not, it doesn't really matter as I have a link to the MSN site anyway.
In the past couple years I have heard many comments from friends, family and fellow bloggers about the content that I share with the all too scary and unpredictable world. I have even been told that I am a bad mother because I post pictures of my children. People also tell me that I lay out too much personal information about myself. And that I make myself a target by sharing that information along with my pictures.
In my defense of these apparently ridiculous actions, I have explained that I do not feel that it is any different from being an Op-Ed writer. Their names are published and addresses can easily be found. Do they take home hazard pay? Or when it comes to picture of the kids, how is this different from bringing them in public where people can see them up close and in person? Or letting them play outside (for older kids obviously)? Or putting their pictures in the Parenting Magazine contests?
Also, the personal information I write about – I do so for, what I think are, very valid reasons. And I have discussed this before, so forgive my repetition. I have heard from numerous people how reading my stories and blogs have helped them realize they are not alone…whether it be in the realm of anxiety or tachycardia or being a stepmother. I have received countless emails from others sharing their similar stories, giving thanks for sharing mine and even just a shout out to a person with shared issues. I love that. When I first was diagnosed with my heart issue, I found it unspeakably comforting to hear from and about others who had the same feelings and symptoms. It helped me realize I wasn't dying (yet anyway) and that I certainly was not the only heart skipping person out there. Being able to do that for someone else is very meaningful to me.
I also divulge what I do for purely selfish reasons. I find it to be extremely cathartic and calming. I do not always have someone to talk to in person or even on the phone. And so I do what I have done for most of my life – I write. Only I am not writing to a particular person – usually – I am writing to the universe in a strange way. Does that make any sense? And because I am not really ashamed of my life, I share more than most people probably would. I am not embarrassed that I have anxiety. I am not feeling guilty because I have smoked pot in my past. I try to live as authentically as possible and believe me, it is not news to me that authenticy makes some people very uncomfortable. But those people don't have to read it. Someone once compared my writing to one of those offbeat cashiers at the grocery store who starts telling you – a complete stranger – about her failing marriage. I am sure we have all experienced those types in our lives. But it is not the same. I am not trapping a person face to face and making them listen to my ramblings. A person has a choice whether or not to read them.
I like to display my pictures because I also love photography. I love to take pictures, look at pictures, edit pictures and share pictures. I am proud of my family and I want to show them off. Just like in the segment of the newspaper on Sundays where people send in photos of their grandchildren – full names printed and all. Just like the people who post pictures of their kids and boyfriends and drinking parties on Myspace. Are they being irresponsible and risky?
So I have this duality going on. I want to be smart and a good mom and certainly not more of a freak show than I already am. But I also want to have my space to share and write and babble and joke around. I want to say how I truly feel and show the latest cute picture of my kids being weirdoes. I do not like the thought of being anonymous like everyone else. When I speak (type) my words I want to be able to stand behind them and let the world know I am not ashamed of what I say. It holds me accountable and I like that.
So…what to do? Who is right? Which Heather should I flick off my shoulder?
Happy Birthday to Meeeeeeeeeee
Good day y'all. Hope you are all having a swell day – celebrating my birthday!! Everyone – have that piece of cake on me!!!
My birthdays are usually very uneventful since my family is small and most of my friends are "computer contact only" lol. But it has been a nice day so far. I woke up to the kids singing to me…well, Kenzie was singing and Cassidy was meowing because today she is a cat apparently. Charlie left me a card with a coupon in it saying I can buy whatever I want for myself. Of course, I am the one who does the bills and worries about the money…so its not like I can go nuts J But I will have to treat myself to something nice. Maybe some new shoes. I brought some yummy Kringle to work. My bosses, Jim and John, gave me a plant for my desk and sang Happy Birthday to me LMAO. That was very nice and unexpected!! And neato Cyndi put such a nice posting on the Journal Times Blog Site wishing me a Happy Bday. Lots of sweet well wishes on there. Thanks all!! Anyway, hopefully the rest of the day will go smoothly and pleasantly.
This weekend is definitely going to be "fat ass weekend". Saturday night we are going to the Corner House with my parents for dinner. Prime rib and lobster – hell yea!! Sunday I am going out to lunch with some blogger friends I have never met…so I will probably do that nervous eating thing. Not to mention the Danish Layer cake that will most certainly somehow show up in the house within the next few days!! On Monday I will be starting a rigorous exercise and diet plan. No, really…I will. Shit…you don't believe me?? Well hell. You'll be sorry once you see me looking like Angelina. Pppthttthth. Yea sure. More like Bea Arthur with a beer belly. (Sorry, Bea).
This blogger's lunch thing has me a little nervous. A bunch of us local blogger gals will be meeting. Some of them have met before…but not me. These things make me anxious big time. New people, new things, leaving the house on my lazy Sunday…man. I am so screwed up, aren't I?? No need to answer that. Besides, I heard you anyway.
I share my birthday with a friend of mine. His name is Jack and I want to give him a shout out – HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK!! Have a glass of wine for me J
Have a great day everyone!! Talk at ya later!!!

WE HAVE ALL COUNTED DOWN to the first day of spring
…when the night and day are of equal length…this recipe brings the light-dark equally inspiring taste of both into one glass. It's served cold over ice- but created hot and then allowed to cool off before drinking- because it is intense and requires the kiss of an ice cube to dilute the mellow drama found in the taste.
MILK CHOCOLATE – 2 (3 ounce bars)
DARK CHOCOLATE- 2 (3 ounce bars)
HEAVY CREAM- 1 1/2 liquid cups
Break the chocolate into small pieces.
Heat the cream to the boiling point, and add the chocolate, whisking until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and cool for several hours until it has the consistency of frosting. Makes about 2 1/2 cups of mix, which can be left out at room temperature for up to three days.
Place 4 ice cubes into a blender with 1/2 cup of the mixture, add 1/4 cup milk. Turn on the blender until it reaches the consistency you desire from slightly chunky to smooth and milk shake like.
For an additional exciting delight, you may choose to add coffee liqueur, dark rum or orange liqueur….or all three as you please.
Comments will be approved before showing up.

My first wedding of the season, held at Osborn Castle also known as "Catrock" in Garrsion, New York, brought a beautiful bride in which a careful and thoughtful hand in planning all the details were part of her enjoyment. When we first met, she said, "I know …I look like Reese Witherspoon".


text: my friend is in an interior design class, and had to make a porfolio of some of the work she has done. after taking some pictures, she realized some lines werent straight, so these are just rough drafts i guess. still, i thought they were cool, and love all the detail in the construction. i have too short of temper to build anything like this.

So, here are mine:
Magic Kingdom
Animal Kingdom (not far behind from Magic Kingdom)
Hollywood Studios (not too far behind from Animal)
Epcot (not far from HS!)
So you can probably tell that I am a big Disney fan and I have the same amount of fun level at each single park!
Magic Kingdom
Epcot: could be first = not far behind Magic Kingdom
Hollywood Studios
Animal Kingdom
The order may change after this year
Magic Kingdom! It's the most magical and immersive
EPOCT is a close second. I like the vibe there. Very fresh and uplifting.
Then Hollywood Studios with Animal Kingdom after.
I adore all the parks.
Magic Kingdom for sure, now that new fantasyland is there im sure that its not even close for me. even though I though I havent been to new fantasyland yet.
Magic Kingdom!
The only on this thread so far to say something other than MK! Mine is DHS!
Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards
Hollywood Studios
Magic Kingdom
Animal Kingdom.
~~But Epcot and Magic Kingdom are basically tied because it switches between them all the time.~~
Magic Kingdom Park.

Hollywood Studios

Hollywood studios
1. Hollywood Studios
2. Magic Kingdom
3. Animal Kingdom
4. Epcot
