For today's Vintage Tuesday I thought I'd share the amazing vintage finds I picked up over the weekend at the Old Wig event that happened it Montreal. Me and Victor went to a concert the night before (my favourite band, We Are Wolves) and I was a little hung over and tired from dancing so we were hoping to have a nice relaxing Saturday inside the house until Victor found out about the event Old Wig (the name is nonsense) on Facebook so we decided to bundle up in our winter gear and adventure outside. It's was a 3 day event and we arrived on the last day about 2 hours before closing and didn't have any idea of what it'd be like when we arrived or if there would be anything good left over. We entered the converted bath house building after a short metro ride and we were instantly greeted with the sight of hipsters as far the eye could see. I think me and Victor stuck out like a sore thumbs but he didn't think so because I have and I quote 'weird hair'. lol. Most of the building's area was dedicated to clothing which we weren't interested in but there was a smaller room in the basement that was filled with vintage store owners selling house hold goods, jewelry and other bits and bobs. We had a lot of fun just walking around and I really really wanted to buy a lot of things from glass ware to salt and pepper shakers and there was so many vintages cameras too. Since it was just a last minute random adventure and I was tired I didn't bring my camera which is too bad and I regretted as soon as we got there but below I wanted to share the amazing things we ended up buying.
A cat tea pot that I bought for $20. It was the first item that caught my eye that I knew I just had to have. I ran into these tea pots one night while searching "vintage cat" in Etsy just for fun and found them to be really charming and had them on my list for a future purchase so it was wonderful to find in person instead.
A vintage label maker that embosses plastic tape for $12. This is acutally Victor's 4th year anniversary present, a little early but the perfect gift for him. He has wanted one of these for over a year. One day he just randomly told me he wanted an embosser and I had no idea what he was talking about, he didn't know the name in English so I searched online using keywords he gave him and finally found out that it's called an embosser or label gun and showed him and he confirmed that was it (alhtough in Chile he had a metal one). I never bought him one because he couldn't decide whether he wanted a vintage one or a newer one so running into this one was just perfect. He has already label everything in his room with it and I'm buying him some tape for Christmas so he can label some more….it weird, hahaha.
A Kodak Tourist II camera for $40. This is probably my only semi-regret purchase. I really should have done a quick search in Etsy before buying. This camera usually goes for around that price or cheaper (but Etsy there would be shipping) so it's not a bad deal but it's an easy camera to find and this one isn't in remarkable condition and didn't come with a case or a box or instructions so I could have easy picked this one up anywhere at a later time. It was also the only camera there that I didn't already own a version of so that's why I liked it, plus I only have two other folding cameras. There was to my suprise a lot of cameras however most were Polaroids (and I have two that I love already).
A Polaroid Colorpack Photo Album for $12. This was an amazing find by Victor, in fact I had completely passed by a whole bunch of albums to look at a few mod style purses and didn't even realize it. It's actually for my exact style of Polaroids and in almost brand new condition. It hold 100 instant photos and is this nice dark red leather. I was a bit hesitant to buy because I hang all my Polaroids on my living room wall but I did need a place to store inbetween taking them and scanning them and if I even change my mind about having them on the wall I have the perfect album for them.
A stack of 120 vintage photographs from the 1940's in black and white taken in Montreal for $80. This item was really the one I had to think about for a long time, espically considering the price tag was for as much as all the other items I had already bought. I am so glad I made the decision to buy these though because I think I would have regretted it (my poor bank account though). When the guy quoted me the price he said he normally charges $3 for 1 and then he counted very slowly each one to see how many they were and when he said there was a 100 I thought for sure he'd quote me a price over $150 so it was a really good deal. I even bargined with him to throw in the ones he had on display on the table so I got an extra 20. I am thinking about making these into postcards after scanning them, or another project but you will definetly see more of these beautiful photographs on Vintage Tuesday in the new year.
A fake gold egg purse form the 80's for $35, this is my anniversary present from Victor. When we went to pay for the last few items I noticed at of the corner of my eye an egg shape, but I told myself to go pay and ignore it until afterwards so I wouldn't buy it. My grandmother collected eggs and celebrated Easter in the most amazing way so I always have to look at anything that's an egg no matter what. So after buying the last item I could afford I went to find it and discovered the most amazing egg purse. It really random but I love it and it's lined in velvet and seems like the most perfect fancy diner purse (which I don't any of those) so I asked Victor to buy me for our anniversary and he agreed. I cannot wait to use it, I hope we go on a date soon.
Free items! The lady who sold us the label maker said I could pick out a necklace because it was the last day and the event was almost over so I picked up this super fake looking necklace that literally goes past my waist. I don't even know why but I like it. The pin I found in an old luggage case with all these other pins from the 80s that were so bad they were funny. I wanted to buy one for Ana so I picked out this guy and asked for the price and the owner in a snottiest voice told me "well the minimum price I can sell anything is $10 and if that's all you want to buy I cannot sell it to you so I guess it's a gift"…well thanks mate.
Phone photos:
Next time there is an event like this I will be sure to bring my camera so I can share with you all the amazing items that I find and the really fun atmosphere. It was great seeing all these vintage stores in one place and having conversations with them, me and Victor had a great time. I spent far too much money but the prices were far less than you'd normally see inside a vintage store so it felt like a good time to splurge. We are hoping to pick up maybe some cups next time or an old gaming system for Victor. Found any good vintage items lately?

This is a comment I saw on a news website in which the reality/identity/nature of God was being flippantly addressed in a featured article. Not surprisingly the following comments included a lot of snide, crude, "smart" and bigoted content; as well as the usual arguments trying to "prove" God's non-existence.
I thought the following comment was worth addressing.
First the initial comment, then my reply to it.
Let's take the Boxing Day tsunami, countless children ripped from their mothers arms, god could have stopped it if he wished but decided it was a good thing to let it continue.
I think it is impossible to reconcile this with the idea of a loving god.
That's quite a leap isn't it – projecting a moral determination onto God – that He decided it was a "good thing" merely because He didn't stop it.
You also assume that a loving God SHOULD have stopped it.
But where do you get the idea that God is "loving" and that His love requires Him to wrap every single human being up in cocoon of safety so that nothing bad could ever happen to anyone?
Also, what makes you think that human safety ought to be His number one concern? And that if HE allows anything bad to happen to any human, then He's either not loving or He doesn't exist?
In addition to my original reply, I'd like to add the following:
Why should this particular event (the Tsunami of 2004) be considered as a greater challenge to our understanding and expectations related to God than any other event involving human tragedy?
Clearly the matter of scale makes it stand out, but bringing it down to the individual level, is it any more tragic for a family to lose a loved one in a large scale disaster than "merely" losing them in a smaller domestic accident?
How many (or how few) casualties do there need to be within a single event for God's existence (as a loving God) to be widely questioned? And how relevant are those human expectations that lead someone to raise those questions?
Why is it that so many people can go through their day to day lives giving God no thought at all – but when something bad happens, He springs to their mind, often in a dismissive, accusatory way:
"How could a loving God allow… ?
This is an article my friend Steve recommended.
"Wisdom is crying out to be heard, and is lifting up her voice where we are most likely to be.
This is not the conception we often have of God's wisdom."
This brings to my mind a section of scripture that to me has a lot of overlooked significance. It's a reference I've highlighted several times in the past.
"They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved…" (2 Thess 2)
God is not hiding, or making Himself hard to find. He has made Himself known and continues to make Himself known. We need to be sure that WE want to know Him.
Do we love the truth?
Do we want to love the truth?
Wisdom Cries Out
Proverbs 8:1-5 Does not wisdom cry out, and understanding lift up her voice?
She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, beside the way, where the paths meet.
She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors:
"To you, O men, I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.
Finding God's wisdom is something we all desire. But how to get it, where to find it—these can be challenges. But before we try to figure out a repeatable formula of how to find it, it might be good to take a look at the scriptures above. Wisdom, in fact, isn't as elusive as it seems. It's looking to find us.
We often think that wisdom is buried, like treasure, and we have to seek it that way. Yes, it's more valuable than…

Mankind can be very inventive in the ways he can devise reasons to reject God.
In recent online discussions I came across a person who asked:
"…whether God would tell his invention that he was God, or if he'd keep it a secret… For, people wouldn't necessarily believe him – anyone going around screaming that they are God is dismissed as lying""
The implication is that IF there was God, He'd most likely hide Himself from us because we wouldn't believe His claim of deity anyway.
I really don't understand how anyone could think there was any reasonable substance to that kind of thinking.
Instead of pondering on whether God WOULD tell His creation about His existence, a more reasonable question is HAS He already done so, and if that's the case how?
Some of the way's He's made Himself known, are through:
1) Creation itself.
2) In Person
3) His deeds
4) His word.
5) His Son
6) His Spirit
7) His people
8) Dreams & Visions
He is not hiding.
The important thing to keep in mind is consistency. No genuine revelation of God will contradict any other genuine revelation of God. For example, in the simplest and most basic of terms, nothing GENUINELY revealed through any of the methods listed above will contradict what God has revealed through scripture.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. (Revelation 21: 1-7)
The matter of the new heavens and new earth can be quite overwhelming.
It is God's ultimate intention.
It is the very last revelation God has given to us.
He has not revealed anything beyond the establishment of that new creation.
We can get very caught up with THIS world and OUR lives that we forget that God is moving towards something beyond the here and now. Even the (wrong) perception of "heaven" being our eternal destiny tends to keep our minds fixed on this world, giving the impression that everything will continue on as always: the only difference being a change of residence from earth to heaven as we each reach the end of our earthly life.
The fact is that this world is coming to an end. This world was NEVER intended to be permanent. It was GOOD when God created it but it was never intended to be His BEST.
From the beginning this world had a limited use. It could never go on forever. This can be seen in God's command to "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it…"
Has anyone ever considered what the outcome would be if man had never sinned (and therefore death had not been introduced) and had continued to be fruitful, increasing in number… how long would it have taken for the world to become impossibly crowded?
That makes it clear that the maintenance of this world was never God's intention.
Scripture shows us that God's ultimate goal has always been a new heavens and new earth which will be the home of righteousness. That is the climax of God's revealed plan for His creation.
The current creation ALWAYS had a potential for sin. The new creation will have NO potential for sin. The potential for sin was necessary to ensure that God could obtain a willingly obedient people to adopt into His family. Willingness requires the provision of a genuine choice. Such a choice also presents the possibility of wilful disobedience. That of course was the outcome when Adam and Eve willingly disobeyed God's sole prohibition in eating the forbidden fruit an act that led to condemnation for all men.
Of course God was not taken by surprise. He had foreknown Adam's sin and a plan for man's redemption had been ordained even before the world had been created. This plan is glorious beyond our comprehension. It enabled the salvation of mankind without being dependent upon anything within mankind. Sinful man could do NOTHING to bring himself again into right relationship with a Holy, just and righteous God. But God didn't leave man in that helpless and hopeless situation. While man had no power to save Himself, God was more than able and willing.
It is impossible to adequately describe God's means of saving mankind. Words like glorious, amazing, brilliant and extraordinary are all inadequate. It has incredible breadth and countless facets, all of which turn the focus back on the redeeming creator instead of the redeemed creature.
He has provided a way through which all of mankind has the opportunity to be freed from the sin that has separated us from Him. That way is an expression of God's mercy, His love and His justice. It is not arbitrary and favours no individual above another. Mankind is given both freedom and responsibility, making us accountable for our sin but giving us the opportunity to be freed from it. God's justice demands that sin be punished, and in His mercy He Himself took the punishment for our sin.
All of this is part of God's grand plan. It all fits together. From the initial creation followed by Adam's sin right through to the destruction of this world and the creation of a replacement. Every part of the process has a reason. Everything is leading up to God making His home with a family chosen from among mankind; from all ages and from all nations, tribes and tongues.
And who is chosen to become part of this "grand plan"? Those who have trusted in His Son and His righteousness instead of trusting in themselves and their own self-righteousness; those who through the working of the Holy Spirit have recognised how unworthy they are and have sought and submitted to His mercy; those who rely on Him to forgive their sins and to cleanse them from unrighteousness; those who will receive the gracious gift He has freely given.
No matter how much I have tried I continually fail to glimpse the glory of God's gospel. At times it seems like I've almost grasped part of it – but when I try to put it into words no language seems sufficient to translate that partial glimpse into something tangible. I think all of our attempts to put the indescribable into words will continually fail until we meet Him face to face..
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"
For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.(Rom 11:33-36)
An article I originally posted 5 years ago.
After recommending Jeff Weddle's article yesterday, this is something I wrote addressing a very similar topic.
Again, please follow the link (labelled "view original post") to access the whole article.
(Edited/updated version of an article written 4 years ago for my old blog site.)
Description or Definition? :Terminology's Effect on Theology
I have a particular aversion to non-biblical terminology being used to describe biblical beliefs. I think inevitably that such terminology will begin to DEFINE our beliefs instead of merely describe them.
Take the phrase "Total Depravity".
To the Calvinist this means a total inability to respond to God prior to regeneration. It goes much further than merely describing man's separation from God due to a sinful nature. The Arminian understands the term in a slightly different way, allowing the sinner to believe in God PRIOR to regeneration in response to the Holy Spirit's conviction through the hearing of the gospel.
Personally I prefer to have man's condition described as being: "bound over to disobedience" as per Romans 11. At least with the biblical definition there is a scriptural context revealing the reason for…

Another excellent and perceptive post on Jeff Weddle's blog.
Please follow the link at the end (where it says "view original post") and read the WHOLE article on the anti itch meditation site.
Satan has focused a lot of his deception on the word "grace." Grace is an abused word. It's possible another word carries more theological baggage, but I can't think of what that word would be.
Theology is an attempt to make the simplicity of God's Word, something the faith of a child can grasp, and make it confusing so you feel like you need the Initiated Few.
You know when you're walking into Confusing Theology Land when biblical words start getting adjectives stuck in front of them.
"Will" is an example. "Will" simply means a desire. God's will is what God desires. It's quite simple.
It remained simple until theologians became a thing. Now it's not just "God's will," now it's God's
Decretive Will
Permissive Will
Sovereign Will
Desiderative Will
Directive Will
Perceptive Will

"Clinical trials aren't just for developing new drugs," Professor Simes stresses.
"They can provide evidence for any kind of health care: procedures, regimens of patient care, health systems, even the way surgery is performed."
Establishing the National Health and Medical Resource Centre's Clinical Trials Centre at University of Sydney in 1988, he has helped recruit over 80,000 people to access trials in cancer and other disease areas.
Clinical trials provide the link between scientific research carried out in the laboratory and the use of new treatments and care given to patients.
"There's a perception that clinical trials are expensive. And it's true, they are," Professor Simes says.
"But the cost of not doing them can end up being much greater."
Professor Simes talks about how three trials he has been involved in have achieved this in different ways:
The biggest opportunity for the future of clinical trials, according to Professor Simes, is to embed them further into the healthcare system.
"We still need large trials to identify the best health care at a public health level, as well as smaller trials in patients selected for personalised treatment on the basis of their biological profile."
"Receiving the award was a pleasing, humbling experience. This is a highlight of my career," Professor Simes says, talking about being named the 2016 NSW Outstanding Cancer Researcher of the Year.
He's just as quick to recognise the people around him.
"It's a reflection of all the people I've worked with, a reflection of the people at the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre and Sydney Catalyst, the Australian collaborative cancer groups, and others in Australia and around the world, not only in cancer."
"Without them the work I do would not be possible."
In addition to continuing his life-changing work, 2016-winner Professor Simes hopes the award will help him to be more of an advocate, to help facilitate more improvements in research and across health care.

My personal logo. The Pa-Kua Cross. Doesn't mean I'm holy. I just love Jesus, and the symbol above the cross, in the center of the Pa-Kua, is God's symbol; the Om. I love Him, too.
Now here's my story:
It was a dark and stormy. . .No. Actually, it was a bright, sunshiny Wednesday morning, 8am, when I was born. June 23. And even, though, my brothers and sisters keep telling everyone I was born an allotted number of months after the Roswell, NM alien spaceship crash event, it isn't true that I am 'one of them'. My preference for writing weird and unusual stories does not come from 'out there'. Or. . .maybe it does.
Anyway, I have always loved animals and anything to do with the sky. How that's related, I have no idea but there it is.
My first stories were simply daydreams. Mom, and sometimes Dad, would read to us kids from the myriad books we had around the house. I loved that. My favorites were the Grimm Fairy Tales. I would go to bed each night and daydream stories that would fit in with the one that was just read to me and I would have a wonderful time until I went to sleep. And then, most of the time, I would dream all about that. Needless to say, my imagination got a good workout. Of which I am very pleased because it has stood me in good stead with the stories I am now writing.
Next came school. Since I am Catholic, I attended a Catholic elementary school, St Anne's. I didn't excel in elementary school, even though I knew the lessons the nuns assigned us kids. Mom always made sure my siblings and I got our homework done, and learned as well. So during class, while the nuns had to tutor the kids whose parents didn't see to their learning, I took the opportunity to stare out the windows and daydream about my stories. I loved that time, but I always got in trouble for it because I wasn't paying attention to the teacher. And the teacher would get upset with me for not knowing what question she was asking and therefore not knowing how to answer. I struggled clear through elementary school, 1st grade to 8th, with that. I hadn't yet learned to prioritize.
Things got worse, though, when I was in the 3rd grade. That's when the nuns taught my grade how to use the public library. I thought I was in heaven then.
The nuns had set up a room in the school as a library. The walls were lined with bookcases filled with books. When I stepped into that room, my eyes bugged. I didn't want to waste my time with the card catalog. I didn't need it. I wanted to start with the books right there next to the door and work my way around. Of course, I wasn't allowed to until I learned the card catalog, so I did my best with it. But the moment I was let loose in that room, I proceeded with my plan. They would only let us check out 3 books at a time so that's what I did. It took me only 2 days to read those books and then I was back for more, returning those 3, of course. It took me all year, but I read every book in there.
And discovered science fiction. I fell in love. And started writing my own stories. By then, I had learned to write and so I took every advantage of that knowledge.
This went on for 2-3 years until they quit using that room as a library. It broke my heart when they quit, but I didn't quit writing my stories. Trouble was, I started several stories that I wanted to be novels but I couldn't finish them. I ran into aspects of the stories I didn't understand and so would quit writing. Started another story.
My first stories were about animals, dogs and horses mainly, because I hadn't yet discovered science fiction. But when I did discover it, that became my focus. My favorite scifi was, and still is, 'Against the Fall of Night'. by Arthur C. Clarke. That is the one book I kept checking out until they made me stop. They wanted to give the other kids a chance to read it.
I began writing science fiction stories then, but as usual, I ran into road blocks again. I hadn't yet learned to research, didn't even know I needed to. I always thought all those books I read just came out of those authors' heads. It made me start wondering if I would ever be a good writer.
I slowed down my writing when I got in high school and paid more attention to my teachers. My grades shot up then. But when I graduated, 1966, I got busy with it again. Reason being, I started going to the public library then. And discovered a whole new set of rules for writing.
I started reading how to books about being a writer and learned about doing research. I was a voracious reader of those books. I wanted to be an author, so I read everything I could find about being one. And those books mentioned writing proper sentences and grammar and punctuation so I was very happy I had been an English major in high school. Those were classes I had enjoyed very much.
I was eager to learn how to write well, but I didn't start in to writing stories until after I had read all those how to books. Then all I wrote were short stories.And I finished them. And was thrilled to the gills I could actually finish a story.
But I never tried to get them published. Did not even occur to me to try, even though I had read that in those how to books. Okay. Call me slow in the up-take here, but I wrote my stories for my eyes only. All I wanted to do was get down on paper what was rumbling around in my head, then read it over and over until I had a beautiful wonderland created where I could daydream all I wanted about being there. Loved every moment of it.
But then I had to get a job. Didn't like that part of my life very much, but if I wanted a car to run back and forth to the library quicker than walking, I had to have some way to pay for it. So I got a job with Bell Telephone and did fairly well for myself. I still lived at home so I was all right there. Could still have time to write. Didn't feel the urge to grow up until I transferred my job to a different one in Bell Telephone in another town altogether. From New Castle to Muncie. I was 25 then. Yeah, I was a late bloomer.
I moved out and on my own into a nice, big apartment and had time to write a lot and I did. More short stories, though. But when I met my husband and married, I really had time to write. He didn't want me to work so I quit. He made enough money for us and we never had children. He told me he didn't want any. He was too worried about his time in Vietnam close to where that Agent Orange was used. So we didn't have kids.
And so I decided to write my first complete novel. Science fiction. I titled it 'The Gardens of Gen'. I have since edited and rewritten it and it is now on Amazon's Kindle, titled 'The Lords of Gen'.
It took me 2 years to put that book together. I wrote it in scenes, most of which I dreamt about at night while asleep. But I had fun doing it. And still no thought to publish.
During my marriage, I did get small, part time jobs and one of them was a sports reporter for the Hagerstown local newspaper. It covered all the sports the town schools were into.
I don't like sports, never did. I mean, if every sport in existence were to suddenly disappear, I doubt I would even notice. But I could write, and the fact that that newspaper kept me on for 2 years attested to that. I quit because I found myself in need of a job that paid better than they could.
I was married for only 13 1/2 years. My husband didn't understand my need to write and so we drifted apart. There were other problems, too. It was a mutual severing of our vows so I needed to get a better job. I ended up as a residential counselor for a mental health institute.
My writing slowed down quite a bit there for a while, but I didn't let that last long. I started writing my Zeke and Tam stories. But I could never get them to work out right.
I was trying to write them in the science fiction genre. I had them in spaceships, going here and there to planets I made up. Dealing with people I made up. I enjoyed the dickens out of writing all that, but I could not get them completed. Even after all the research I did. I started feeling like I did back in elementary school.
So I decided to go to college for more learning about writing. And so I did at Indiana University East in Richmond. I didn't graduate. I didn't go to get a degree. I didn't feel I needed to. All I wanted was more instruction on how to be a good writer. I attended off and on for about 6-7 years and ended up accumulating 3 years' worth of college education. I was an English major. Got good grades. Ended up with a 3.75 grade average.
And then I started getting really into writing. And still had no thought in my head to try to publish. Go figure. Lordy. I don't know why I never considered it by this time. It just didn't occur to me.
But then I met a woman at a Star Trek convention who was a publisher of a Star Trek fan magazine and we got to talking. She liked some of my story ideas and asked me to write a short Star Trek story. I did called 'Sarek's Revelation' and she published it. Wow! Did the windows come open in my head then, or what?
So I got the bright idea to try to publish my Gardens of Gen book. My emotional high was way up there. For a while. Until I received rejection after rejection. I couldn't understand why no one wanted to publish my book, but no one did, so I pouted and tucked my book away, deciding I would just write for myself. I know. No gumption, but what can I say? I'm a big baby at times.
But I recently, some 30+ years later, pulled that book back out and read it again. And immediately saw why they didn't want it. I couldn't believe i wrote that badly. So armed with all the writing knowledge I now have, I sat down with that book and edited until I had more red ink in it than black. And then I rewrote it. And decided to forego regular publishing and self publish it myself on Kindle. I had already been doing that with my other books. The book is a whole lot better now. Believe me. Even if I didn't have all this writing knowledge now. Then I went back to my Zeke and Tam books.
The story here goes, I still tried to write them in the science fiction genre. And still could not get them to work. I couldn't figure it out, but then the Harry Potter books started coming out. I didn't pay much attention to all the talk about them until the 3rd one was published. I still didn't read them, though, because I didn't want to be influenced.
I was determined to get my stories done, but I still couldn't by the time the 4th Harry Potter book was out and talk about the 5th one coming soon was in the air. I decided then I would buy the first 4 and see what the fuss was all about. And see if I could discover, through them, what I was doing wrong.
I bought the first 4 books in paperback, took them home and read them within 5 days. And fell in love. For 2 reasons. The first reason was because they are a wonderful story, but the second was because they showed me I should be writing my Zeke and Tam stories in the fantasy genre instead of scifi. I was elated. I immediately dug into my stories again and started over.
My spaceships became the flying cabs.
The front viewing window of the kids' spaceship that traveled all over their ship when they called for it became the living pictures in the palace Diamondorn.
The little Ko people became the gawbies living and working in Diamondorn.
The flying bicycles Zeke and Tam rode became their broomsticks.
Their ray guns became their wands.
And so on.
I made all manner of changes like that but I added so much more. Like the dragons I had wanted in my stories but couldn't figure out any satisfying storyline that would keep them with the kids. And the tiny Harper's dragons, also. I added lorecats and other winged animals I couldn't fit into the scifi version of my stories. And I could use the elves and fairies I wanted, too. I don't know why I wanted them, I just did, but I couldn't get them all to work. I needed to write fantasy instead of scifi but I didn't see that until I read the Harry Potter books.
Now did I copy the Harry Potter format? Of course I did, are you kidding me? Have you seen the success Ms Rowlings has had? And I'm talking besides all the money. I read in a book called 'Muggles and Magic' by George Beahm that JK Rowlings inspired a young boy who suffered severe dyslexia to try harder to learn how to read. And finally succeeded. She also got kids back to reading again instead of forever playing their electronic games.
I want to do that. How can there be any better success than that? Wow! So yes, I copied her format. I made my Ezekiel Mayhill stories fit right into it. And I will continue to do so until I have all 9 books in the series written. (As it stands now, I'm thinking that it may be only 7 books in the series. Outlines are one thing, but actually writing the stories is something else altogether)
That's where I am today. Weird stuff as well as romance. I love romance stories, too. Fantasy love stories as well as the conventional Regency Romance. I'll have all my romance stories listed on my Gold Frame Romance website. All my children's stories will be listed on my Magical Writing website.
I dabble in other things, too, such as health issues, which I'll have on my Healthy Broad website and spiritual stuff on my Living Thunder website when I get them finished. And then there's my Bully Bitch website where I yell at people about all the other things I'm interested in. (Healthy Broad is not quite finished)
I do designs, which I have over in my store at Cafe Press. Stein's Designs. Nice ring to it, huh? I have it finished now, so go check it out. Lots of fancy designs, spiritual designs and more.
That's about it right now. I'll keep you posted on new developments as I get them done. For now, I'm wishing you all well in all your endeavors.
Love and peace,

Humans are curious and delicate beings often unaware of their full potential, and oblivious to the long-term effects of their actions. Our perception shapes the world around us, and it is capable of forming pictures that are appealing, albeit far from a true reflection of reality. Whenever an easy way out seems possible, our mind is tempted to take it. That is how cognitive distortions, the deviations from a rational line of thinking occur. This brings temporary relief, and helps us cope with everyday challenges. One of the consequences, however, is that many people manage to talk themselves out of a healthy lifestyle.
More harm than good
Building healthy habits is a lengthy, demanding process. The first step on a thousand mile journey is making a plan. Do not expect immediate results and note that the payoff comes only later. This realization enables you to avoid losing interest in the endeavor and running out of steam. Furthermore, set realistic targets and do not push the panic button if you fail to hit the mark. Being better off today than you were yesterday is an improvement. However, the progress slope is not always an upward one, and you may have to go through many peaks and valleys.
Another pitfall to avoid is global labeling. It involves the practice of assigning various labels to yourself in order to find excuses for your predicament. A person who does not truly want to exercise may say something like: "I was never a sporty type" or "the season premiere is tonight". Do not impose such limitations on yourself and work on your flaws. A similar thing happens when people go on to predict the outcome of their actions in a negative way. They justify inactivity and passive behavior inducing a self-fulfilling prophecy of personal fizzle.
The big picture
It is high time to put an end to such thoughts and deal with other discouraging notions. See them for what they are, and do not delay the first day of the rest of your life. Focus on key aspects of healthy living and start taking steps promptly. Bear in mind that proper nutrition is the backbone of your efforts, and goes hand in hand with physical activity. Thus, figure out how many calories you should be taking on a daily basis, and identify whole foods that hold essential nutrients. Cook at home and use more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Steer away from junk food, and muse on it only as an occasional treat.
Fill the nutrient gaps with dietary supplements, but ensure that you are opting for trusted manufactures whose label claims match the content of the products. Optimum nutrition gold standard whey is a safe bet as it serves as a perfect energy booster, which gets you through the day with a bang. The renewed vigor provided by a healthy diet will support your project to get back in shape. Bid farewell to hours of sitting with your eyes glued to the screen and days when you cannot seem to do anything. Once you gain a footing and set your plan in motion, it will be much easier to become healthy as a horse.
Take action
Healthy habits are one of those things the benefits of which no one disputes, yet most people fail to embrace. To avoid the same mistake, grasp the true meaning of your actions, whether you are postponing the inevitable, sugarcoating things or beating around the bush. Do not entertain self-defeating thoughts and face the grim realities in order to reclaim control over your life. Sport empowering decisions and hard choices. They will allow you to get out of bed earlier, have a more productive workday, and gain a realistic picture of your life. Celebrate your small victories, and never lose sight of the ultimate goal.

A people's nonviolent and velvet revolution has taken place in the Republic of Armenia; but this is not only a political revolution, but also a revolution of values.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who is on a two-day visit to France, on Friday stated the aforesaid at this talk with members of the Movement of the Enterprises of France (MEDEF), in Paris.
"But overall, this revolution will not have any meaning if we [Armenia] can't achieve economic growth," the Pashinyan stressed, above all. "From the moment I was elected [PM], any businessman, business circle, or company [conducting business in Armenia] is released from the corruption system."
In his words, the signals coming from businesses are now taken into consideration in Armenia.
Pashinyan added that their objective of bringing clarity to relations with several foreign companies conducting business in Armenia is not to ruin these relations, but to make their cooperation more productive.
Also, the PM noted that in the past, government members had not presented the interests of Armenia, but added that the "chair" of the defender of the interests of the country and of the Armenian people is no longer "vacant."

"Having a hip replacement at VSC has changed Austin's life—and his family members' lives, too. As a puppy, he was very sweet, despite the fact he was in constant pain with very limited mobility. His mom recalls him whining or crying out in pain regularly. Following his THR, he has a better quality of life where he can play ball with his siblings and go for long rides in the car to the beach with the family. 'The surgery was definitely a huge step and a long journey but… well worth it,' says Austin's mom, Julienne. These days, Austin seems very happy and can do everything the other dogs can do. 'We continued looking after him and 'spoiling' him even more at home after his surgery,' she says. 'He's definitely our baby.'"

I miss the sound of the sea. Slung in my hammock at the weekend I could look out over the bay and see this:
And hear the waves lapping at the cliff beneath me, and swing gently in the westerly, and bathe in the sunshine – which incidentally feels a lot hotter in Devon than in Warwickshire – I think it's to do with reflections off the clouds and the sea and we gave up trying to figure out if Devon is nearer the sun so if anyone knows, let me know.
But all of this R&R was not without industry – I was knitting a wholly location-appropriate sock:
Well if we're being technical, Falmouth and the Helford river are a few miles down the coast but it counts as close enough as I've sailed around that neck of the woods many times so it's all very familiar! This is the start of the Frenchmans Creek sock by the Tsock Tsarina and is part 2 of the Flock Sock Club this year. You can just make out the start of the gulls and the waves or ropes of La Mouette.
Hopefully if the torrential rain will stop at some point I will be able to show you a picture of the currently almost finished sock – it's very pretty.
In the meantime, and as I have few pretty pictures I shall send you off to another black hole, the newly launched Twist Collective. I may perhaps be said to 'misspeak' (a la Hillary) if I deny that any of these patterns followed me home. It's up to you to guess which ones!

In Washington, D.C.
Emma-Kate Symons
Phone: (202) 813-7561
E-mail: email@example.com
Washington D.C., October 8, 2019—IFC,
a member of the World Bank Group, today issued a new US dollar global benchmark
bond, raising $2 billion to support the private sector in developing countries
– including for women entrepreneurs, infrastructure and climate-smart
business in some of the most challenging markets.
The heavily oversubscribed issuance – the five-year benchmark bond generated
an order book of over $3 billion – highlighted IFC's international leadership
role as the largest development institution focused exclusively on growing
the private sector in emerging markets.
"The robust investor response to IFC's USD global benchmark is a testament
to our triple-A credit rating and standing as a premier global issuer,"
said IFC Vice President & Treasurer John Gandolfo.
"This $2 billion global bond will support our mission of poverty alleviation
and shared prosperity, which are inextricably linked to the Sustainable
Development Goals."
The reoffer yield was 1.436 percent—the equivalent of 8.9 basis points
over the corresponding U.S. Treasury note. Central banks and other official
institutions accounted for 61 percent of the orders, followed by banks
at 33 percent. Approximately 23 percent of orders came from investors in
the Americas.
The proceeds of this issue will be swapped into floating-rate U.S. dollar
funds that will be available for IFC investments in emerging markets.
IFC has issued US dollar-denominated global bonds each year since 2000,
and as a US dollar-based institution, most borrowings are swapped into
variable-rate US dollars.
In addition, IFC complements its public issuance by accessing a variety
of different markets such as Uridashi, private placements and thematic
bonds like green bonds to support climate-smart business; and social bonds
including for on-lending to women-owned enterprises or companies that incorporate
vulnerable populations. IFC also issues local-currency bonds to develop
local capital markets and to fund local-currency investments, and discount
notes in U.S. dollars. All IFC bond issuances are rated triple-A by Standard
& Poor's and Moody's.

The Movers Came...
Monday the 15th the invasion begins, which means I need to have everything set and done no later than the 14th. That's only nine days to square away everything, clean my desk of current projects, set the blog and tweets to handle themselves, and remember how to set the away message on my email.
Getting internet hooked up in Alaska is going to be an interesting challenge. They have metered internet up there. METERED. I haven't had to deal with metered internet since before Netflix was invented. I just don't see this ending well.
And then there's the logistic challenge of packing everything needed for a family of six into the allotted airline luggage. Six people, four weeks between packing and unpacking, four hotels, four states (although our stay in Illinois should be brief), and we can only pack 50 pounds per bag AND must be able to fit all bags and kids and Dog into one car.
So that's going to be fun.
... what are you doing in December? Any fun plans? Tropical vacation? Skiing? Reading books by firelight? I'm celebrating the holidays vicariously, so let me know what you're doing this month!

Other than holiday gift stuff, nothing much. We have a tree and all sorts of decorations though.ReplyDelete
Let's see. Taking vitamin supplements, hoping no one else ends up in the hospital for a while, decorating, finishing off the final gifts, wrapping presents, making part of Christmas dinner, being around a very noisy family, relaxing. That should be my month. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Avoiding the hospital is very important. I hope you can keep that goal!Delete
It's been the year for hospital stays. Half the family has been in at one time or another. Some of us for repeat visits. My daughter was diagnosed with acid reflux this year after three trips in for severe abdominal pain and then went in a fourth time to find out she needed emergency gall bladder surgery. *rolls eyes*. Like we needed any more troubles when it came to meal planning. Still, we have adapted and will continue to do so as needed.Delete
It would be nice to not have anyone in the hospital in the upcoming year. Somehow though, I don't think I'll be getting that wish.
Preparing for Novella release. Finishing a book to go to my agent. And blessedly writing something new!ReplyDelete

The prompt for NaPoWriMo today is to write a "social media style" poem. I had some resistance to this because I have some issues with social media in general…mainly the importance which people have started to give to the smallest details of their daily life. So, I decided to go with a parody of sorts.
Boss is going to be mad…slept through the alarm again
BTW, here's another pic of my breakfast too bad I ran out of rye bread. Guess it'll be wheat
Stuck in traffic now…fender bender ahead! Why can't people focus on the road?
Made it through the morning lecture on tardiness. Would it be wrong to have a martini for lunch?
BTW, here's a pic of my yummy lunch. This place has the best guacamole
Ugh! Boss just called a meeting. Why?!?!?!
Headed out for drinks with the girls. Yay for 5 o'clock
Have you ever seen a bigger margarita??
2 a.m. just getting home awww at least the cat loves me
BTW isn't she cute curled up on my chair?
Shouldn't have skipped dinner…must haz cheezburger
Oh…make the room stop spinning LOL

timmeh replied to zaphodFlirc's topic in General Questions1. Get a harmony remote, configured to use the flirc device provide as part of the XBMC activity 2. Use xbmc with it 3. Switch harmony activities and xbmc idle for a few hours 4. Change activity back to xbmc and you should have the key repeat issue. Also, for the record I bought a recommended Raspberry Pi power supply (5V 2A) and I still get the key repeat issue. No other devices plugged into the Pi. I also had this problem when I used XBMC with a desktop PC.
One Remote press, continued repeating Flirc commands
timmeh replied to zaphodFlirc's topic in General QuestionsYep I'm using a harmony 650 I believe, with the harmony flirc profile. If it's the matter of changing the inter-key delay on the flirc and harmony remote what should teh adjustments be. I've tried pretty much everything I can find on the matter and nothing seems to work. Plus the flirc_util issue makes it doubly hard to resolve.

With its raucous music scene, lush hillsides, celebrity chefs, and hip boutiques, it's no wonder Nashville is America's latest "It City." It's popping up on family vacation bucket lists across the country. I've lived in Nashville for nearly two decades — and, while there's lots of family-friendly fun to be had here, you definitely need to know what you're doing to make the most of Music City. Here are my top tips for an unforgettable Nashville family vacation.
When to Visit
Nashville has a comfortable climate most of the time. Avoid January and February since even a minor snowfall tends to shut down the entire city, and be aware that temperatures and humidity soar here in July and August. Other than that, you're good!
Where to Stay
Need a hotel room? Not a problem. Nashville has become so popular with tourists lately that hotels are popping up everywhere. The most important consideration is which part of town you choose as your home base.
First off, I would definitely recommend that you either drive to Nashville or rent a car once you arrive. Nashville's charms aren't limited to the downtown area — they're sprinkled all over town. In fact, some of the most memorable family activities in the area are an hour or two away from Music City and definitely worth the drive. More on these options later.
Downtown Nashville has plenty of hotel options, but be aware if you stay downtown that when the sun goes down on Lower Broadway (the downtown tourist district's main drag), the area becomes one big party zone. And, while I wouldn't call it unsafe, your children may see and hear some things they've never seen and heard before. Another downside if you have a car is mandatory valet parking at downtown hotels, which costs anywhere from $35-$40 per night.
That said, if you're determined to stay downtown, some of my favorite hotels are located there, including the Omni Nashville and the Westin Nashville. Both are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. And for a real splurge, I recommend the historic Hermitage Hotel.
A more affordable and realistic option for families (particularly if you have a car) is to choose a hotel in one of the neighborhoods close to downtown. The Vanderbilt area is minutes away from downtown and has plenty of well-known chain hotels. Green Hills is another neighborhood that's safe and in the center of things, with several chain hotels you'll recognize. More and more visitors are choosing Nashville's Airbnb homes and apartments. Just be sure and research the neighborhood before you decide on a rental. Nashville is geographically HUGE so you could end up somewhere that's technically in Nashville, but not close to anything.
Finally, Nashville's most epic family-friendly hotel has got to be Gaylord Opryland Resort. Although a good 15-20 minutes away from most Nashville attractions, chances are your kids won't want to leave the resort once you arrive. This ginormous hotel includes three beautiful atriums filled with miles of walkways and lush tropical plants, an indoor river and accompanying boat ride, three luxurious pools, lots of restaurants and shops, and plenty of family activities. It's also in walking distance from shopping mecca Opry Mills and the world-famous Grand Ole Opry, which is a fast-paced musical extravaganza anyone ages 12 and up would enjoy, even if they're not country music fans. Best of all, an indoor/outdoor water park is currently under construction and scheduled to open in late 2018. This hotel is so much fun that we regularly spend family weekends here — and we live just a few minutes away!
What to Do
The number of downtown tourist attractions can be overwhelming and expensive. Fortunately, some of the best places to go downtown are totally free!
The Nashville Library downtown is home to one of the best puppet troupes in the country. You can see free puppet shows here on Friday and Saturday mornings. The library's free Storytime on Tuesdays and Wednesdays is also worth visiting with young children. It includes puppets, singing, juggling, and more. Afterward, your kids will want to spend time playing in the library's huge three-level "reading fort," which has lots of nooks and crannies perfect for curling up with a book.
The Nashville Farmers' Market is another fun, free downtown option. We like to go first to the Bicentennial Capitol Mall's Rivers of Tennessee Fountains, where the kids can splash around to their heart's delight. Fun fact: Each of the 31 fountains represents a Tennessee river. Afterward, we walk to the Farmers' Market right next door, which is filled with produce and arts and crafts, all from Tennessee. The Farmers' Market food court is perfect for an inexpensive meal. You'll find plenty of options here to satisfy everyone's tastes. Park for free either at the Farmers' Market or in one of the many free spaces available around the Bicentennial Mall park.
One downtown attraction worth the cost of admission is the Country Music Hall of Fame. You don't have to be a country music fan to enjoy this highly interactive walk through country music history. When you arrive, head first to the the Taylor Swift Education Center on the museum's third floor for fun children's activities and scavenger hunt guides to the rest of the museum.
For an iconic Nashville photo op, don't miss two of Music City's most famous murals. The "I Believe in Nashville" mural is located at 2706 12th Avenue South. Go for the mural, stay for the shopping in this trendy neighborhood known as the 12th South district — Reese Witherspoon's store, Draper James, is right across the street and high-end denim retailer Imogene + Willie is also nearby. Just a few minutes away at 302 11th Avenue South, you'll find the famous "What Lifts You" angel wings mural. A smaller set of wings is painted beside the larger set so that kids can get in on the action, too.
At Nashville's Adventure Science Center, you'll find tons of cool interactive exhibits that teach kids about dinosaurs, space, gravity, and more, plus an enormous Adventure Tower with a panoramic view of Nashville at the top. While Adventure Science Center is a great option for kids 12 and under, it can be overwhelming for small children. Toddlers and preschoolers will do better at the Discovery Center in nearby Murfreesboro. This interactive children's museum is jam-packed with fun activities and there's plenty here for toddlers and preschoolers as well. It has long been a favorite with my kids and is well worth the drive to get there.
The Nashville Zoo hasn't been around as long as other big city zoos and is still growing. But it's still a great way to spend a few hours with the kids when you're in town, and with 375 species of animals, there's plenty to see here. The new Andean Bears exhibit is very popular and we also love Kangaroo Kickabout, where visitors can hang out with kangaroos and even pet them. The zoo also includes a historic home and farm with tours that are worth making time for. Our favorite part of the zoo, though, is the Soaring Eagle, a seated zipline ride that lifts you high above the city, then gently drops you back down at a breathtaking pace.
Got bikes? Bring them! Nashville has several excellent greenway trails with miles of gorgeous, flat paths perfect for a family bike ride. We especially love the Harpeth River Greenway from Warner Park to Morton Mill, the scenic Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail in Ashland City, and the historic Stones River Greenway in Murfreesboro. All three trails are a great way to see Middle Tennessee's beautiful rivers and lush forest.
Another fun family option is to rent canoes or kayaks and enjoy an easy float down the Harpeth River. This tame river offers lots of opportunities to stop and splash around and it's a favorite summer activity for locals. Try and go on a weekday if you can, since the river gets crowded on weekends — or opt for a float down the less-crowded Buffalo River. You'll have to drive farther to get there, but the scenery is rural and pristine.
Nashville has some fabulous family hiking options. Expect plenty of wildlife sightings at the beautiful Radnor Lake State Park, as well as an aviary that's home to several birds of prey. Opt for a weekday hike at this popular park — the parking lot fills up fast during the weekend. The Warner Parks have miles of wooded trails for hiking, just nine miles from downtown Nashville. Start first at the park's Nature Center for advice on the best trail for your family and loaner backpacks filled with supplies that make hiking more fun for kids. Want to beat the crowds and get some great photos? Try the Hidden Lake Trail and Bluff Ridge Trail, both in different sections of the Harpeth River State Park. Both are scenic, adventurous, and never too crowded. And you'll capture spectacular family photos at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens, which features acres of flower-filled trails, a stately historic mansion, and plenty of outdoor grottos, nooks, and crannies worth exploring. Pick up a scavenger hunt list at the welcome center and make your family walk even more exciting.
Where to Eat
So many restaurants… So little time! Nashville's bustling restaurant scene means you have plenty of options, but some are definitely more kid-friendly than others. For a downhome Southern meal, opt for breakfast, lunch, or dinner at the world-famous Loveless Cafe. The fried chicken, biscuits, and homemade jams are amazing and worth the drive to the outskirts of town. Another authentic Southern option that never disappoints is Arnold's Country Kitchen downtown, a no frills "meat & 3" with savory home-cooked southern food that's worth waiting in line for. (Don't worry, the line moves fast!)
Nashville is known for its hot chicken and the best place to get it is the spot where it was invented: Prince's Hot Chicken Shack. A plate of Prince's hot chicken with french fries is one of my favorite meals anywhere — and for sensitive palates, you can order the mild or plain versions of Prince's chicken and still have a fantastic meal. Hattie B's is another popular hot chicken option if you have picky eaters, since this local chain serves up kid-friendly chicken tenders in addition to the original hot chicken recipe.
Like pizza? We're huge fans of Nicky's Coal Fired Pizza, which serves up sinfully delicious pies with inventive toppings and the best dough I've tasted in all of Music City. I especially love Nicky's "Bianche" pizzas, which eliminate the tomato base, allowing ingredients like roasted mushrooms and braised lamb to really stand out.
Locals are obsessed with the 100-layer donuts at Five Daughters Bakery, which come in flavors like Chocolate Sea Salt and Maple Bacon. These donuts are so delicious, I often get a box for my birthday instead of a birthday cake.
Nashville is also fortunate to have several Jeni's locations, where you'll find the best ice cream you've ever tasted. Flavors change according to season, but you can always order scoops of the popular Brambleberry Crisp and Brown Butter Almond Brittle flavors — both are absolutely amazing!
If you're looking for a big night out, try House of Cards in downtown Nashville. You'll feel like you've stepped straight into a Harry Potter novel in this secretive subterranean restaurant, which celebrates the art of magic and features a multimillion dollar collection of art, antiques and magical artifacts. Dinner includes private shows with roving magicians and a 30-minute magic show in the restaurant's auditorium.
Beyond Nashville
There are so many fun things to do within an hour or two of Nashville. Here are just a few options:
Like caves? You're in luck. Mammoth Cave National Park is less than two hours from Nashville. With 400 miles (and counting) of underground trails, Mammoth Cave is the longest cave system in the world and it's definitely worth a visit. Cumberland Caverns is another less-crowded option, with an equally memorable cave tour. If you have younger children, consider Lost River Cave, which is a little over an hour from Nashville and includes fun tour that's easy on little ones and a boat ride in an underground lake. It's definitely an experience your family won't forget!
History buffs won't want to skip the nearby towns of Franklin and Murfreesboro, where two important Civil War battles took place. Historic Franklin is filled with cool shops, restaurants, and antebellum homes and older kids will enjoy touring Carnton Plantation, the Lotz House, and the Carter House. In Murfreesboro, you'll find the Stones River National Battlefield and ranger-led tours on foot, bicycle, or by car. The Hallowed Ground Lantern Tour of Stones River National Cemetery is an especially moving tour option for older children. Be sure and call ahead for a reservation. Although the tours are free, spots fill up quick.
And for a truly mind-blowing experience and one of my absolute favorite things to do in the area, drive 1.5 hours to the Amish Welcome Center in Ethridge, Tennessee for a wagon tour of some of the town's Amish farms. You'll stop several times to shop for Amish housewares, baked goods, furniture and produce and get a fascinating inside look at how the Amish live and work. It is a truly memorable experience.
You're ready now for a Nashville vacation of a lifetime! Enjoy your visit and don't forget to pick up a pair of cowboy boots while you're here!
