Nintendo 64...I love Mario Kart!!
What fun fact, talent or superpower of yours should guys know about?
I love to bake! I am big on yummy desserts and making breakfast. My favorite thing to do for a guy is make him yummy breakfast.

Then with some turkey/apple sausage and scramble eggs! :)
What's the most memorable pick up line you've ever heard?
"I'm sorry...I know this is awkward but I really have to tell you this..I think you are really beautiful." I just think it takes a confident guy to come up to a girl randomly to say that to me.
What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
Took a road trip across country with my girlfriend. Such a last minute trip...not knowing where to go but realize we had everywhere we wanted to go in the US...had the most random adventures and never felt more free in my life. I love spontaneous outings.
What's the most unusual place you've ever hooked up? How'd it go?
At a casting studio. My boyfriend was waiting for an audition and we sneak into a casting room studio and had a little fun to break his nerves.
What's in your purse or pocket right now?
Breath mints. You always have to have a fresh breath!
What do you feel most comfortable wearing?
Booty shorts, a big t-shirt and my glasses.
Would you rather have boring sex all the time or an amazing romp once a year?
There is no such thing as boring sex!! Well not with me :)
If you could do a shot of Jose Cuervo with anyone -- dead or alive -- who would it be?
Ryan Gosling..I would love to get him drunk ;)

No not to late and it is so cute!!
Awesome prompts and love the layouts! Sorry I missed it Vicki!
Ok - I couldn't seem to read and follow the instructions worth a darn... I had to Undo so many times.... or I just mis-read them and had to re-do things.... LOL! My night did not go as planned.... juggling things while at the speed scrap and then the kids didn't go to bed as planned, but I got it done.
Great job Vicki - although it was so hard not to add more elements to the layout....Once I read through all the instructions I had to go find new photos :-)
Oh Vicki - your instructions were great.... it was not you... I just couldn't get it together :-) LOL! But it turned out.....
I won't even tell you how many times I re-did the circles... first I only had 3, then I had to get it so the photos were smaller than the circles - this took multiple corrections, then I saw someone else's layout and I thought I totally missed the boat... I for some reason thought it was 4 shapes at the top of the page :-) But, by that time I had hit Ctrl+z so many times that I thought oh well, it will be a different lo than everyone's..... they were still evenly spaced.....
It was fun!
I plan on trying this, but I can not figure out how to do the cut outs evenly.
Did you give out tips during the scrap Vicki? If so, can you share? LOL
I know how to do cutouts, just not how to get them done evenly on the page.
I use PSE 11.
Make sure you have the grid marks turned on (in the view t on tab on the menu bar) - very helpful in placing evenly.
I used my marquee tool to make the circles (or squares) I wanted to use. After the first one, make sure you have "add to the selection" chosen for you marquee tool. Then when you have them finished, if you go back to the "new selection" you should be able to move them to where you want on the page.
Next you invert your selection. (Right click, select invert.)
Now all you have to do is add a layer mask & you should have holes in your paper.
Hope I didn't overstep my bounds. :)
Super Ann....thanks for your help!
I will give it a try this evening!

Physiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in helping people regain function after surgery, a stroke, or an injury. They may also help people with issues such as controlling pain or regaining strength.
A physiatrist often leads a team of health professionals that may include physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and social workers, all of whom work together to improve a person's recovery. Physiatrists can further specialize in pain management or spinal cord injury.

By Taryn AsherFox 2 News ReporterSOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) -- Married 25 years, voting in the election is a tradition for Billy and Rosieta Brandy of Beverly Hills, but this year they were in for their own close call.On Monday, they were casting their ballots early at the Southfield Township hall when all of a sudden Billy collapsed."His hands (were) cold and they were turning green, and I tried to arouse him, calling him, 'Billy, Billy,' and he wouldn't move," said his wife.Her beloved Billy wasn't breathing and his heart stopped. Rosieta was frantic. She says her husband was dead."I just said, 'God, please, not now. Like I'm not ready now,' and it seemed like as soon as I said that, this man that was next to him took him and put him on the floor and started doing the CPR. It was like angel... heard me."A man who happens to be a registered nurse was standing right beside them. Ty Houston immediately started CPR."After about three to four minutes, he started breathing. He regained a pulse and he basically woke up and asked whether or not he had finished voting."By that time, emergency crews arrived and Houston remembered the unexpected conversation the couple had as Billy questioned whether he was able to vote for his candidate -- President Barack Obama."He let her know that basically it was a concern to him. Number one that she knew that he loved her... and two, that he finished what he came there to do, which was to vote."The answer was yes. Rosieta turned in their ballots right before Billy lost consciousness.Billy was taken to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak where he underwent several tests, but they didn't reveal what caused his heart to stop. Meanwhile, the couple wanted to thank the man who helped it to start beating again.Houston says something drew him to that township hall. He never intended to vote early that day."He said I was a hero, but really I'm not. That was all God's intervention."You could call Billy a die-hard voter. He survived throat cancer and now this. He says nothing will stop him from exercising his civic duty."I'm a voter every year as long as I live," he told us.Billy, who was just released Wednesday from the hospital, says he was too nervous to watch the election returns. He didn't find out until his daughter told him, and when he found out President Barack Obama was re-elected, he was overjoyed.

Board considers standards for private dog parks
If you're a dog owner in Henrico County, there's only one public place in which your dog is legally permitted to run "at large" (free from your control) – Dorey Dog Park in Varina.
But a request from a county homeowners' association could eventually lead to more private options for dog owners.
The Henrico Board of Supervisors may consider adopting standards that permit private dog parks to be constructed in the county. The Wyndham Foundation has requested permission to establish such a park, following a survey of Wyndham homeowners that found widespread interest.
During a work session Sept. 25, supervisors discussed the merits and faults of private dog parks and what the standards for such parks might entail.
Current county code prohibits dogs from running at large except on homeowners' private property or at the Dorey Dog Park, which opened last October.
County planning officials suggested that if the board were to adopt guidelines for private dog parks, they should require that such parks:
• be at least one acre in size;
• include fencing at least five feet in height;
• include 400-foot setbacks on all sides to the nearest dwelling or structure;
• include a minimum of 15 parking spots per fenced acre;
• be open only from dawn to dusk;
• forbid commercial boarding and breeding operations on site.
Tuckahoe District Supervisor Pat O'Bannon said she saw the merit in such private parks as a way to provide exercise for dogs and a chance for owners to interact and make friends – particularly at apartment complexes – but wondered if those complexes would be able to meet the setback standards. Henrico principal planner Ben Blankenship said that his office could design separate standards for such complexes if the board desired.
The county likely would require approval of a conditional or provisional use permit for any private dog parks, Blankenship said, to permit enforcement of applicable standards.
Planners intend to meet with the Wyndham Foundation and return to present an update to the board within two months.

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

A juggler, driving to his next performance, is stopped by the police. "What are those machetes doing in your car?" asks the cop.
"I juggle them in my act."
"Oh, yeah?" says the doubtful cop. "Let's see you do it." The juggler gets out and starts tossing and catching the knives.
Another man driving by slows down to watch."Wow" says the passerby. "I'm glad I quit drinking. Look at the test they're giving now!"

FO: Striped Stashbuster Socks
While I finished knitting the Ivy League Vest last weekend, it still has a million ends to weave in. I hope to finish it up this weekend so you'll see pictures next week of the blocked version. In the meantime, remember how I was bemoaning the lack of easy, mindless, on-the-go projects? The real reason I never have fast, easy projects around is that since said projects are fast and easy, they fly off the needles!
Pattern: 64-stitch stockinette sock with K2P2 rib
Yarn: Froehlich Special Blauband (sadly discontinued several years ago)
Needles: US 1 1/2
I've had two skeins of this sock yarn stewing in stash for a few years! I decided that I really shouldn't dig into my nice sock yarn stash for a plain stockinette project so I paired these two together, for better or worse. I'm quite satisfied with the result! Initially, I followed Meg Swansen's "jogless join" method (tutorial from sockknitters.com here) to keep the join clean. You can see the unimpressive results below.
It's not bad but I felt sure I could do better by carrying the unused yarn up the seam the way one might in a color work project.
For my taste, that's much better! There's a bit of a jog but at least no bulky seam of loose stitches from the k2togs. I couldn't find a good tutorial for carrying the yarn up the seam – does anyone out there have one? If not, I'll post one sometime soon.
47 comments so far
Wow! Your method is significantly less joggy than the supposed jogless-join! I'd definitely be interested in a tutorial if you're so inclined to create one! I also LOVE matchy/mis-matchy socks! So cute!
Looks great! 50g of each? I'm contemplating doing something similar with some yarn I have lying around.
those are so. freaking. cute!!!! i can't wait to see your tutorial for the carrying, 'cause i want to make these after seeing yours. i just got some black and red sparkly kraemer sock yarn and i was thinking of how freaking lovely it would be in stripes…
These look great, I'll chime in on wanting to see a tutorial, too.
Those are awesome! The contrasting toes and heels make such a difference – one looks "blue with brown stripes" and the other, "brown with blue stripes"! For sure carrying the yarn up the seam came out better than the "jogless" method…
Those are so cute! I love the reverse color scheme – really awesome looking.
I love those colors together. And would love to see a tutorial about how you carried the yarn up the seam.
I also love those socks… those narrow mixed bands of colors look marvelous!
Very pretty socks! I like the skinny stripes and solid parts.
I love these! Love, love, love them. These are so cool!
They are great! Please do a tutorial – your stripes look so much better.
great colour combo:)
those are absolutely adorable!!!! i have to make a pair! (my next mindless stockinette pair will be striped!)
please post the tutorial – I have yet to find a "clean" way to do the jogless jog – yours looks great!
these are way too cute! i love stripy socks! please give us a tute; i totally suck at stripes.
Huh. You would think the "jogless join" would have worked better, no? The socks look lovely–I really like the color combo you chose, complete with the alternating toes!
Beautiful knitting, perfect colors—love 'em!!
Nice socks and nice colour.
You can get a nicer strip if you knit the first stitch dubble with both colors when you switch colors. The color you don't want to see you just pull tight when you knit the stich in the next round.
groetjes Ineke
P.S love your weblog.
you should definitely post some sort of tutorial. i have yet to find a good way to do a jogless join with stripes. this looks awesome!
L-O-V-E the socks! they look great – the joggless join is not one I've tried, yet, thanks for the inspriation!
I'll echo all the praises for these socks. They're fantastic! Isn't it great when something so simple works out so well?
I don't actually understand what you did with the stripes, but it certainly works better than the "jogless join". Tutorial, please!
Congrats on fishing up the vest! The socks look great, what a wonderful combination of colors! And yes, working the yarn up the seem worked great. You did such a wonderful job on it, I would love to see a tutorial. Thanks!
There is an article on circular knitting tips in the latest "Knit 'N Style," including tips on managing the jog in colorwork, including more than one option. I haven't tried any of them, yet…
Lisa Kay
I am knitting some striped Noro socks and have tried several jog-management methods. I didn't really like any of them and just let the jogs be. I do hope you'll share your method because it looks perfect!
I have yet to master the jogless jog. These socks make me want to perfect the technique though, I heart them.
Your way is much better!
What a treat to find your blog! I am a knitter and runner and mother also, living in Melbourne and working as a maths teacher at a private girls' school. Love what you have on here – only wish my blog looked as good. I will have to keep working on it to get it up to scratch. Because it is summer here, with temperatures around 25 – 35 degrees celsius, I'm not getting much knitting done – mostly sewing, but I have been logging up to 10 km runs! Hoping to run a marathon this year, after completing the Melbourne Half last year. Great fun! Nice to come across your blog. Cheers!
I am passing on the "You Make My Day" award to you because, well, you do. I love your blog, and I really enjoy the items you knit. Thanks!
I've never quite understood the jogless method, but I don't even see the jog on your second sock! I've got some stash yarn that's begging for this same treatment.
I love those two colors paired together!
The colour pairing is definitely "for better" — great socks.
Love these. I really want some stripy socks–and that is the least joggy jog I've seen yet.
i love the socks!
I think those socks are the bomb diggity. :)
They really are fabulous.
What a great way of using up the stash – love the opposite toes and heels :)
Blue and brown is such a great combo–and I love that they're opposites. Even in the foot part, it seems as if one color dominates. Funny how our eyes trick us. I'm not sure I know what you mean by carrying the color up the seam–curious to see it more clearly, since the result is so wonderful!
They look great! Your method is much better looking than the so-called 'jogless' one and I'd be really interested to hear how you did it as I'm about to embark on my first major FairIsle circular project. Btw, I'm a runner too (marathons mostly now, with knitting too!!!).
I just love these more and more each time I look at them. Dunno why, but I have a crush on your socks.
Those are some fabulous looking socks. Great pairing of colors.
What a great way to use up sock yarn, they turned out great!
Love the socks. Love how the match but don't. So cute.
Your socks are gorgeous. I love the color combination & you did a great job in carrying up the yarn – perfect.
do you have instructions yet?

You might not be familiar with the term 'Z-Movie,' but if you grew up in the 90's, chances are you've seen one. They're the beyond-low-budget monstrosities that teased you from the walls of the mom-and-pop video store. Usually, the films themselves could never live up to the pictures on the videotape boxes (because this was way before your fancy 'Digital Video Discs' and 'Blu-Rays') but occasionally you'd find something truly unique. 'WEIRDO FLICKS' will clue you into some movies which 'unique' doesn't even begin to describe...
'Furious' - 1984, Directed by Tim Everitt
80's martial arts films are already pretty strange as is (even the big budget ones.) Some of this weirdness probably stems from certain cultural things that get lost in translation, but there is also a surreal quality to a lot of these movies, especially the ones that deal with the supernatural.
So, when you start getting into low budget territory, it should go without saying that things get VERY strange. 'Furious' is a prime example of this. Nothing seems 'right' throughout the entire hour-and-twenty-minutes. Scenes cut away for no reason, many of the actors show no emotion whatsoever, things are left unexplained, and this is on top of a script that is already mind-boggling.
From what I can tell (and please, don't quote me on this, it is a very incomprehensible film) a woman is killed while on a quest for some kind of powerful box. She is killed by what appear to be Mongols, who then pay a visit to her brother and invite him to meet with their master.
Their master then tells the brother that he must continue his sister's quest. It is unclear if the master is a bad guy, or a good guy. It is also unclear why the brother goes along with this plan, as these people have just MURDERED HIS SISTER.
Oh yeah, and he also runs a martial arts school for children. This will be important later.
So, he continues the 'quest,' even though the master says a bunch of jumbled things and messes with him a few times. He has to battle several of the Mongols along the way (a few show up directly after he leaves the master's building) and it becomes increasingly unclear as to who is good and who is bad. The Mongols might be working for the master, or they might be working for another master, who knows.
Also, the film constantly jumps between the 'big city' where the master's giant office building is, and a small hut up in the mountains. There is no clear feeling of 'you are here' and the distance traveled is not elaborated on.
Some battles happen, and the brother (whose name is Simon, I guess) wins them all. Then, a statue tells him that his master might not be a good guy. It is unclear if he ignores this, or takes it to heart, because his actions are all over the place after this.
That's about all the plot summary I can give you...you'll have to make sense of it yourself. I will say that at one point Simon sends his kids (9-15) to fight for him and attack some security guards. And a woman's laughing head comes out of a box. Really, that's all it should take to make you watch this glorious mess of a film.

The ending of my marriage happened at the most inopportune time.
Alex was almost 3 when we got his diagnosis of Autism. His speech was delayed, he had stopped talking and mimicking the things we did months earlier. I remember the car ride that he stopped singing his part of a two word song we had created together. I'd sing the words 'baby boy' as a eight word song. He'd reply back with 'Da Da' as an eight word reply. That particular car ride, I sang it to him and he just looked out the window. I tried again and no response. At some point, he had partially slipped away. With no warning, he had lost something we might never be able to get back.
He also flapped his hands more and stood mostly on his tip toes. There was lack of eye contact. When he moved through the apartment it seemed like people were more obstacle than something to interact with. He would ignore you and crawl over you without acknowledging your presence. He didn't play with toys, he just shook them occasionally or ignored them altogether..
At the same time, the marriage had mostly unraveled and there was not much left that we could do to keep it afloat. We decided that it was over but we were going to focus on doing the best we could for our son.
I still give a lot of credit to my ex-wife. She did a number of things to get Alex services he needed. Getting him on the waiting list for in home therapy with Beyond Boundaries of Autism, cutting back to working part time to devote time to coordinating his schedule and doing 'floor time' (using play as a way to teach sharing, communication and personal interactions). All of these things needed to be done.
She did all this because I had sort of become a wreck. Also, it may have partially been her coping mechanism to the whole situation. I felt particularly useless. The intense feeling of failure was overwhelming and I had a hard time just keeping myself going. I couldn't keep a relationship going with my then wife; who could communicate, and now I was going to be spending time alone with my child, who could barely communicate? How was I going to make this work? Was I going to let my son down? I knew that I couldn't. I had sworn to him, when he was born, that I was going to not be the Dad who barely participated in his life. How was I going to connect with him? So many questions and so few places to find answers.
You may be saying, "Holy crap! This is kind of a downer post."
As I continue with these posts about the adventures of a single parent of an Autistic son, keep these things in mind:
- My ex-wife is now my best friend and 'support group'
- I pulled my life together and enjoy my time with Alex
- While my son's speech is still delayed, he has made improvements communicating
- I learned that I'm not alone
Perhaps you or someone you know has a child on the Autism spectrum. These posts are for you. You are not alone! There are people who understand and want to help you and your child. The journey won't be easy but I guarantee you, it will be interesting.

Declining numbers of farmers and ranchers and the increasing age of those who remain in the business are fueling the call to bring in and train young farmers and ranchers.
That has resulted in the development of programs to facilitate and promote arrangements between retiring and aspiring young farmers. But even with such programs, including government-backed loans to new farmers, this is problematic because the competition from expanding farms for land can be fierce.
"Finding opportunities for new players amid the consolidation into much larger but fewer farms driven by recent profitability, new technology and risk protection policies is challenging," says John Dhuyvetter, area Extension livestock specialist at North Dakota State University's North Central Research Extension Center near Minot. "The reality is that getting started is as difficult as ever, with the exception of the next generation of families currently established with large, successful operations."
With soaring land prices, the high cost of equipment and breeding stock, and escalating operating costs, startup operations will have a limited opportunity to own high-capital-cost assets. When ownership isn't possible, leasing will be more likely. Leasing agricultural land is common, and for most farmers and ranchers, the majority of acreage they operate is leased. However, most cattle assets traditionally are owned or lender-financed.
Leasing cattle may be an option. Leasing allows a rancher to gain a herd of stock cows and generate income when investing and borrowing to buy cows may not be feasible or desired. A cow owner who leases cows to someone else eliminates the responsibility for caring for the herd while retaining an income-earning asset.
"With high-cost breeding stock and larger herd sizes, interest in leasing cows is being explored," Dhuyvetter says. "The cattle industry is smaller than in the past and smaller than it probably should be. Widespread drought has been a major driver of this trend, coupled with higher feed prices and profitability in the farming sector. Older existing ranchers may be less inclined to rebuild or expand, creating opportunities for young ranchers as forage conditions improve."
Historically, most cow leases were on a share basis. Financial experts recommend an equitable split of calves that is in proportion to contributed costs. For example, the owner contributes cow ownership costs (interest on investment, normal death loss, depreciation) and the operator provides all the operating costs (feed, yardage, care and health). A budgeting spreadsheet is available through the NDSU Extension Service athttp://www.ag.ndsu.edu/livestockeconomics/Budgets. This spreadsheet can help document costs and calculate contributions.
More recently, cow owners seem to be using cash cow leases. Under these leases, the operator agrees to pay the owner an annual cash payment per cow for a set period (usually one to three years). The operator is expected to provide all care and inputs, and he or she earns the calves produced to market them in a way that returns the best profit possible.
"The possibilities for a win-win situation exist," Dhuyvetter says. "The young rancher gets started in the business using someone else's cows while conserving his borrowing ability for other needs. Provided costs can be controlled and the income of cattle great enough, sufficient revenue is generated to leave a return to his labor and management. The retiring or absentee cow owner earns a retirement income, continues to have some involvement and creates alternatives to phaseout."
However, such leases can turn into a lose-lose situation because of factors such as improper cow management, poor production, high death loss, excessive costs and low market prices, he warns. Other problems can include inequitable leases in which the operator or owner feels unfairly treated.
"Communication of expectations is critical," Dhuyvetter says. "For the most part, the devil is in the details, and to be successful, the lease should address cow care, animal identification, death loss, culling, replacement, marketing, etc., in addition to terms and rates."
While a cow lease may be whatever two parties agree on and will be unique to a particular situation, here are some suggestions for developing a successful lease agreement:

It is about inspiring our generation, providing something of substance and culture and above all doing it with integrity and as a united family, a close knit community.The above information is from the RVCA website.

I like Kiehl's products, body wash with shampoo & conditioner seems like it will be efficient.

I need help finding a moisturizer, without sunscreen, for my teen son, 14 years old. He has normal to dry skin with an occasional breakout. Mostly a few blackheads in the T zone area.
He does a good job of washing his face. Uses deep pore cleanser and cross training sunscreen.
I just ordered him lip balm and eye cream (dark circles hereditary).
Please help me decide on a moisturizer for him that won't be too strong or too heavy. I'm hoping that he will add moisturizing into his routine in am and pm. I have tried with other products I have but he complains about the smells. I assume this is because those products are more for women?? Maybe a men's product, smell wouldn't bother him??
Thank you, I appreciate you taking time to help me with this ;) Nov 2, 2013
but it leaves me feeling very clean...I really like it... Apr 16, 2014

I wonder if my children will remember me as constant motion. Not a specific task, like cleaning their rooms while we talk about their day, or how I make dinner when we discuss their homework, or the laundry that I'm constantly walking up and down with from room to laundry and back. No, more like a blur of my historic self, a gusian filter placed over the presence of me in their memories.
Like my own mother is to me in my childhood; Always moving: a presence, a tickle monster, a card player, a disciplinarian. She is a blur of the eighties, a wisp of the nineties.

When I first started blogging in 2003, there were only a handful of blogs compared to today. We didn't understand the implications of over-sharing your journal on the Internet, we didn't fully grasp the complexity of the media. In fact, one day in 2004 when my daughter was about three months old, I wrote a post about her peeing on me and said something about us having just had our first mother-daughter standoff. Someone commented that I needed to find better material than just steeling Dooc'es posts. I didn't even know who Dooce was at the time (that was my... Read more

You giggle as I kiss your cheeks. I hold your hands as you turn your face left to right, giving me full access to the large, luscious cheeks, round and red. You laugh as you spit and shove off my kisses. I pretend to look sad and then hold your arms and start the process over. You are giggling as you pretend to stop me. I win at the kisses, landing on your cheeks as you laugh. You tell me I'll never give you another kiss again. I chuckle. "Do you remember the Love You Forever book?" I ask. You shake your head no.

I remember the roads to my Grandmother's house. We called her "Bamma" to distinguish her from my maternal Grandmother, who would later be know simply as G'ma, and hold an even more important role in my life. As a young child, growing up in the suburbs of Houston, we would make the six hour trek to my Bamma's house, just north of Austin. I remember the terrain changing to a hilly roll.. I remember the van's AC unit working with an easier hum as we drew closer to my Bamma's house. I remember my dad going over some of the rolls of the road and yelling... Read more

Tonight I checked on your sister but not you. It's not that I didn't want to; It's that I didn't realize how much the door jams would swell in the heat and rub against the door when I tried to open one. So as I squeezed in to your sister's room with a loud "thhhhhhuuuummmmmpppppppppbbbbbb" and heard her squirm in her bunk, I knew my chances of waking you up were even greater. Also, your dad checked on you both just moments earlier because he is not as afraid to wake you both. I, however, remember countless nights of your flopping about in my belly... Read more

I recount my day in exaggerated details. Suddenly when I tell my sister about that meeting I had, I say the words I *should* have said at the time. She laughs.

"You walk very fast." I hear the words at the same time a wet nose bumps my calves. I turn to find an older woman walking on the trail next to me.

Usually I'm way ahead of everyone but you walk as quickly as I do."
We enjoy a nice chat as I pace along side her. I explain that I used to run but now walk because of my bad knees. She confesses she used to run... Read more

Conner told me that his grandma (my mother) told him about God. He asked me who Jesus was. When he said "Earma told me all about God" I just started laughing and said, "Oh, she did, did she?" and I asked him what she'd said but he instead asked me who Jesus was. I only told him that he was a guy that lived roughly 2,000 years ago (not quite as long ago as dinosaurs) and he preached about being good and generous to the the poor. That seemed to satisfy him so I let the subject drop.
Yesterday was her last day babysitting him so I'm not going to bring it up. If she had started this last year, we would have had a problem. Gee mother, thanks!

I've seen some pretty strange drink combinations. Mixology can sometimes go from genius to insane in a nano-second.
But people have decided that the liquid marriage of cola and red wine is a good idea.
It's apparently a thing. They call it kalimotxo.
Kalimotxo (pronounced cal-ee-MO-cho) is literally equal parts cola and red wine. The cheaper the better (the wine that is, although at this point I'm not sure it matters when it comes to soda).
I've had some bad wine in my lifetime, but I've never thought to myself, "You know what would make this taste better....Pepsi!"
It's also supposedly a Basque-country classic.
Good for them...as far as I'm concerned it can stay there.

Dear Lauri,
I dreamed I was in an old creepy house or apartment. The rooms are connected by doors. Someone is after me. As I run through a door it leads I to an old bedroom. I hide under the bed and shut my eyes tight. I hear a man enter the room and I wake up. – Cindy 31, Chicago, IL
Lauri: The old house represents an old part of your life. It has a creepy feel to it because it is probably an issue that is disturbing to you. You are running from someone because this is likely an issue you are avoiding dealing with. The bedroom you run into is a big clue, it not only means this is something you wish to put to rest but might also be connected to an old intimate issue or relationship. Closing your eyes suggests you are not willing or wanting to face the reality or are trying to turn a blind eye towards it. You wake when you hear a man enter the room. That man is probably your assertive male energy, the part of you that needs to enter the picture, the part of you that needs to "man up" and be rational and assertive rather than emotional. This will likely help you to deal with the issue once and for all.
Cindy replies: I am dealing with some issues where some people from my past are re- entering my life; family members. I haven't spoken with them since I was a teen. What you're saying seems to make sense. Thinking about it, the bedroom almost reminds me of an old apartment I lived in when I was little. I'm hoping to get past these issues. I got it about being rational rather than emotional. This makes sense. Thank you.

The Brewers enter the All-Star break with a record of 38-56. Only the
hapless Marlins have a worse winning percentage in the National League.
Obviously the injuries have played the main role in keeping the team in
last place. But no one will feel sorry for Ron Roenicke and the Brewer
players. It's a win now mentality in most of pro sports. Very few teams
take a long term view like Houston is doing this year...knowing they
were going to be bad....in order to get good a few years down the road.
Milwaukee has had some high points in this dismal first half. The two biggest ones will be at Citi Field in New York for tomorrows nights All-Star game. Jean Segura and Carlos Gomez are well deserving of their All-Star slots. Segura is leading the National League in hits at the break with 121. Gomez should at least be in the discussion for MVP. The Brewers have been rewarded for the perserverance with Gomez who looked lost as recently as two years ago. And the blossoming of Segura means even fans who didnt like the Zach Greinke trade at the time have to admit now it was the right move.
The bullpen has been pretty good for the most part but we'll see if they decide to make some deals before the trade deadline which is the end of this month. I would imagine some teams in the pennant race could covet some of the pieces that the Brewers have.
Home run Derby tonight and the All-Star game tomorrow.
Brewer prospect Jimmy Nelson pitched a scoreless inning in the Futures Game which was played last night at Citi Field. The US beat the World 4-2.

This set contains 14 coins in proof quality, protectively encased in three clear plastic lenses and newly designed packaging. The 2013-dated quarters, half-dollar and dime are struck in 90 percent silver, generally referred to as "coin silver." The silver in these coins can be seen by viewing the edge of the coin in the lens.
United States Mint proof coins feature sharp relief and a mirror-like background. Their frosted, sculpted foregrounds give them a special cameo effect. Proof blanks are specially treated, polished and cleaned to ensure high quality strikes. The blanks are then fed into presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck at least twice to ensure sharp relief. The coins are then packaged in a protective lens to showcase and maintain their exceptional finish.
- The 2013 edition of the United States Mint Silver Proof Set features:
- The fourth annual release of five quarters in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program;
- The seventh annual release of four coins from the Presidential $1 Coin Program;
- One Native American $1 Coin, Kennedy half-dollar, Roosevelt dime, Jefferson nickel and Lincoln penny.
Each coin in the quarter series features a common obverse (heads side) with the 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, restored to bring out subtle details and the beauty of the original model. Inscriptions are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and QUARTER DOLLAR.
The 2013 reverses (tails sides) of these coins honor the sites below with the following designs:
- White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire:
- This design depicts Mt. Chocorua, the easternmost peak of the Sandwich Range, framed by birch trees. It is an iconic view of the White Mountain National Forest system lands. Inscriptions are WHITE MOUNTAIN, NEW HAMPSHIRE, 2013 and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
- Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial in Ohio:
- This design features the statue of Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry with the Peace Memorial located in the distance. The memorial is one of the tallest of its kind in the U.S. Inscriptions are PERRY'S VICTORY, OHIO, 2013 and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
- Great Basin National Park in Nevada:
- This design features the beauty and unique qualities of a single Bristlecone Pine tree and shows the rocky glacial moraines where the trees grow. These trees grow at higher elevation in the park and are some of the world's oldest. The park contains numerous Bristlecone Pine groves with trees older than 4,000 years. Inscriptions are GREAT BASIN, NEVADA, 2013 and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
- Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Maryland:
- The design represents the site during the "Defenders Day" celebration, considered the centerpiece annual event held at Fort McHenry. The fireworks symbolize the "rocket's red glare," linking the fort to its historic past. Inscriptions are FORT McHENRY, MARYLAND, 2013 and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
- Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota:
- This design was inspired by photos of men who are adding the final details to Thomas Jefferson's face. Mount Rushmore was featured on three 1991 Mount Rushmore Golden Anniversary Commemorative Coins and on the 2006 South Dakota quarter issued under the 50 State Quarters® Program. This new design is distinctly different and offers a unique and educational perspective on how Mount Rushmore was created and sculpted. Inscriptions are MOUNT RUSHMORE, SOUTH DAKOTA, 2013 and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
Each coin in the Presidential $1 Coin Program has a common reverse (tails side) design featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. These 2013 coins feature large, dramatic artwork, as well as edge-incused inscriptions of the year of minting or issuance, E PLURIBUS UNUM and the mint mark. IN GOD WE TRUST appears on the face of the coin.
The 2013 obverses (heads sides) of these coins honor these Presidents:
- William McKinley:
- This design features an image of William McKinley with the inscriptions WILLIAM MCKINLEY, IN GOD WE TRUST, 25th PRESIDENT and 1897 - 1901.
- Theodore Roosevelt:
- This design features an image of Theodore Roosevelt with the inscriptions THEODORE ROOSEVELT, IN GOD WE TRUST, 26th PRESIDENT and 1901 - 1909.
- William Howard Taft:

- Woodrow Wilson:
- This design features an image of Woodrow Wilson with the inscriptions WOODROW WILSON, IN GOD WE TRUST, 28th PRESIDENT and 1913 - 1921.
The obverse (heads side) design of the Native American $1 Coin retains the central figure of the "Sacagawea" design first produced in 2000 with the inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. The 2013 Native American reverse design is entitled Delaware Treaty (1778). The reverse (tails side) design features a turkey, howling wolf, and turtle (all symbols of the clans of the Delaware Tribe), and a ring of 13 stars to represent the Colonies.
There are no design changes to the half-dollar, dime, nickel and penny.
The United States Mint launched the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program in 2010. The 12-year initiative includes 56 quarters featuring reverse designs depicting some of our most cherished national parks and other national sites. The United States Mint will issue five new quarter designs per year, with one final design in 2021. The fourth year of the program, 2013, features the fourth group of five quarters in the series.
The United States Mint launched the Presidential $1 Coin Program in 2007. The 10-year initiative includes dollar coins featuring obverse designs honoring our Nation's Presidents in the order in which they served in office. The seventh year of the program, 2013, features the seventh set of four $1 coins in the series.
In 2009, the United States Mint began minting and issuing $1 coins featuring designs celebrating the important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans to the history and development of the United States. During the years of the program that correspond with the Presidential $1 Coin Program, Native American $1 Coins will be issued, to the maximum extent practicable, in the chronological order in which the Native Americans depicted lived or the events recognized occurred.

While meningitis has reached an all-time low in the United States, an op-ed in this week's Annals of Internal Medicine highlights cases of a deadly meningitis strain among men who have sex with men.
Cities including New York, Toronto, and San Francisco have launched public awareness campaigns to promote vaccination, but the authors also call on physicians to assess the risk to their patients and discuss the strain.
Since August 2010, 22 cases have been reported in New York City among men who have sex with men. More than half of those were already HIV positive. Seven men died. In fact, in New York City last year, men who have sex with men were 50 times more likely than the general population to be infected with the virus, according to city health officials.
Meningitis can be spread by close contact such as kissing or sharing cigarettes. Early symptoms of infection can include flu-like symptoms, sepsis and rash. Death is common within 24 hours of first exhibiting symptoms.
And the disease isn't limited to New York. Four cases have also been reported in Los Angeles since December, officials said.
Public health officials are already sounding the alarm. In New York City, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene recommends that all men who have sex with men be vaccinated against the deadly virus, as it can be spread via intimate contact. In New York state, insurers are mandated to cover the vaccine.
Since last October, the department has vaccinated more than 11,000 people and no new cases have been reported since February.
With upcoming Gay Pride festivities slated for the end of the month, health departments in other cities are advising those traveling to New York for the events be vaccinated. It's not the first time events have been targeted, as mass gatherings have been associated with outbreaks in the past. In fact, all those making pilgrimages to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, for the annual Hajj are also required to be vaccinated.
