Archives: August 2011
It has been a never ending round of packing and unpacking suitcases this month (latest being the one we packed few days ago in case we had to rush downstairs when Irene struck)...all is getting back to normal now (sort of!)
Kat was actually sad to get out of the rental car (aka our mobile home) because she felt that it had been her home for the last 2 weeks (I dont blame her with all the snacking we did on the road, it did seem like Moms kitchen!) On the other hand, Kit was sad as the end of the road trip meant a stop to endless snacking (anytime, anything!) and the uninterrupted Backyardigan after Backyardigan episodes she watched on the iPad (courtesy Kat who had the brains to download these before we left).
Call me weird (its actually trendy to be weird now!) but I will miss the constant running around and the checking in and out from so many hotels en route. However, the most I will miss is the bonding time Kit Kat had over this holiday; both with us and between themselves...cherished times!
One such display of sisterly love was when Kit Kat were floating on the tube (attached to our boat) at Lake Tahoe. Sunny sky, warm water and peace and quiet in the air the only sounds we could hear were from Papa driving (so fast!) and all of us shouting in excitement.
After several rounds of duo floating together, Kit wanted to do one turn on her own (more so, because Kat had one!) Papa and I agreed and Kit had a ball!! Beaming from ear to ear, she held on to the tube with all her strength and at some point, Papa got so excited that in the flow of it all, he suddenly accelerated Kit caught on well but the other second, she lost her balance and fell into the 1000 ft (at some parts 1500ft I believe) deep lake.
Of course, Kit Kat had their life jackets on all the time but still the sight of a tiny Kit in the vast expanse of water was chilling. We reversed the boat right away and would have got there in a few seconds BUT Kat was already in the water going to save her little Kit! There was a look of extreme alarm on Kits face when she fell but I could not miss her joy on seeing Kat swim up to her. Our expert swimmer made it to Kit before us in the boat and swam back with Kit. Since then, Kat has been the official lifeguard for Kit (rewarded with hugs and wet kisses from Kit much to Kats eww!)
Moments like this and I am truly convinced that no matter how much the sisters fight, there IS a special bond between them most days, I am almost positive that given a chance, they could pull each others hair, teeth, clothes, books and everything apart!!
Of course, the minute Kat touches the piano for her practice, Kit will magically appear from somewhere and this will be the beginning of a heated argument dominated with I want to practice my piano from both sides. In the end (always), Kit can be seen sitting (with a victorious grin) on the piano stool playing some music and singing something totally impromptu...(after all, how much MacDonald can one practice?)
So, this is what happened last week
After much fighting when Kat had resigned to the rocking chair with her Taylor Swift Speak Now lyrics and piano music, Kit first walks up to her I want that book even before she finishes the sentence, she tries to snatch it from Kat, who has now become an expert at dodging Kit (its a survival trick!) quickly hides it behind her.
Kat: If you are not going to play the piano, I will
Kit, realising she is not going to get the book OR the piano if she does not decide fast, decides to go straight back to the piano (without wasting any more time split second decisions here!)
I am in the kitchen right next to the living room where the piano is and I am desperately wishing all this fighting away...in vain. Its the typical Please Stop Please let me finish this last thing situation of course my dinner is not ready yet so this is not helping at all! To make matters worse I told Kats teacher to come early today which has taken away 30 mins from my cooking time what a true martyr!
I silently peep from the kitchen and see Kat singing her Taylor Swift lyrics softly (if shes too loud, Kit will think it to be more interesting and will immediately do something to end Kats fun!) and Kit is busy working on her left hand (her most recent piano homework).
I go back to the kitchen before I can be spotted and loaded with complaints.
All of a sudden...I hear music being played by two hands. At first I think Kit Kat have made truce and are playing together but then when I walk out of the kitchen, I see that Kit has placed her play Casio keyboard on the piano and is playing her right hand on it and is slowly but surely playing her left hand on the actual piano I am speechless...this is a huge achievement for her. Anyone who has played piano will know the significance of playing with two hands for the first time. It is a totally different feeling and it takes time to get used to the feel of it of course, after that you learn to appreciate the sounds more when you play with the left hand as an accompaniment. To see Kit playing this naturally, figuring it all on her own is GREAT WORK. As soon as she finished (all this was MacDonald by the way), I point this out to Kat (who has been watching anyway) and she then tells Kit to play without Casio but on the piano itself and Kit DOES IT! She's got the hang of playing with both hands!!
Fights forgotten, Kit Kat share a hug and when Kat says Im so proud of you to Kit, you can literally see stars in Kits eyes. Kats praise surpasses everyone elses. Such is their love hate relationship...

Hernani Branco served as men's soccer coach for 15 years, inducted to Stonehill Athletics Hall of Fame
OBITUARY (includes arrangements)
BROCKTON ENTERPRISE: "Ex-Stonehill College soccer coach Branco was one of a kind"
EASTON, Mass. (December 9, 2013) – The Stonehill College community is saddened by the sudden passing of Hernani "Ernie" Branco a member of the Athletics Hall of Fame and former men's soccer coach at the College.
"The entire Stonehill community is deeply saddened by the sudden death of Ernie Branco," said Paula Sullivan, Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation at the College, who worked with Branco both as a fellow coach and athletic director. "He was a wonderful human being who loved life and was an extremely positive and fun loving individual who had a tremendous impact on the lives of so many of our alumni, particularly former men's soccer players. My sincere condolences go out to his wife, Jennifer, and their three beautiful children, but also to our many former student-athletes and athletic staff members whose lives he touched."
Branco, who died from injuries sustained in a single car automobile accident in his hometown of Norton, Mass., on Sunday, served as head men's soccer coach at Stonehill for 15 years from 1984 through 1998 and was inducted into the College's Athletics Hall of Fame in 2004. He led the Skyhawks to a 151-118-25 (.556) record over his tenure with four Northeast-10 Conference Championships.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Ernie's family and countless friends," said Jim Reddish, '96, men's soccer coach at Stonehill, who was a four-year student-athlete at the College for Branco. "More important than the records at Stonehill, Ernie was beloved by many as a mentor and a friend. He was one of the most charismatic individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. It meant the world to me when he told me how happy he was that I was the coach at Stonehill now. His compliments and well wishes were so genuine, and he was still recommending players for me last month."
Branco's 1985 squad posted a 14-6-1 record overall, including a 7-0-0 clip in the then Northeast-8 to capture the first Conference Championship in program history. That team was led by recent Hall of Fame inductee, Rich Scafati, '88, who would earn NE-8 Player of the Year honors, while Dan Quinn, '90, was named Rookie of the Year and Branco collected Coach of the Year honors. Stonehill went on to win both the Northeast-10 regular season and tournament championships in 1990, posting a 13-5-2 overall mark and 7-1-1 clip in the NE-10 before defeating arch-rival Bentley University, 2-1, for its first tournament title in program history. Fellow Stonehill Hall of Famer Andy McMahon, '92, who would become the program's first All-American, was named the Conference's Player of the Year, while Jason Hammond was Rookie of the Year. Stonehill won a second-straight NE-10 Tournament crown in 1991 with a 3-2 win over Bentley and finished the year with a 15-5-1 overall record, including a 6-3-0 Conference mark.
Branco's 1990 squad won both the Northeast-10 regular season and tournament championships.
Branco coached a total of 27 All-Northeast-10 performers over his career at Stonehill. He recruited three NE-10 Rookies of the Year and had two NE-10 Players of the Year as well as McMahon, an All-American. His teams finished under .500 in Conference play just three times over his 15 seasons, qualifying for the Conference tournament 11 years.
"Ernie's passion, loyalty, honesty, and his humor were captivating," continued Reddish. "He made us run, but he made us laugh. Other times, we feared him as he yelled from the sideline, but the next minute he was our biggest fan and best friend. He pushed us to the limit to make us better and we gave our best in return for him. In the end, we all knew he meant well and wanted the best for all of us, had our backs at all times and truly loved us. We lost a one-of-a-kind special friend, but he, without a doubt, will be remembered by all of us."
Branco is survived by his wife, Jennifer, daughters, Tiffany and Morgan, and son, Jordan, as well as his mother, Maria, brother, Paul, and sister, Elizabeth. In addition to his time at Stonehill, Branco was a retired educator in the Brockton school system, coaching soccer at Brockton High School, where all three of his children attended. He was inducted into the New England Soccer Hall of Fame in 2005 and served as the U.S.S.F. National Referee Emeritus and New England Revolution liason to Major League Soccer. Branco was also actively involved in Norton Youth Soccer, directing a Norton Youth Soccer Clinic with his son.

In deciding no matter whether you are going to use travertine floor tiles for your flooring, it is best that you know the pros and cons before you commence to set up them. We are the quantity a single seller of travertine and marble goods in the states of Florida, Texas and Louisiana. We order flooring for two rooms the website instructions for functioning out how much flooring to order was spot on, we had plenty to complete to job but very little waste. I can not advocate a tile that appears close to travertine as product lines are changing all the time.
And as you select travertine tiles for your house, you have to pick furniture pieces that will go properly with your tiles. Travertine is especially sensitive to acidic substances and alkalines such as lemon, wine, juice, and coffee, so keep away from acidic cleaners and be especially wary of getting these materials about travertine. Travertine stone has a all-natural veining that types very unique a single-of-a-kind patterns. Sealer need to be added to travertine floors in order to maintain it from absorbing as well much moisture through the organic holes and crevices in the material.
Very high-good quality travertine tiles in very desirable colors and with handful of imperfections can be $20-$25 a square foot just for the tiles, and specialty tiles like mosaics (generally utilised as accents in a design) can be $four-$30 a square foot. Lots of issues in the bathroom matter of course, like the furnishings and the lighting, the ventilation and the walls and ceiling. It will expense much more for a tilesetter to install larger stone than porcelain-it requires a higher skill level to install stone.
It is with that in thoughts then, that we can see why limestone flooring is a considerably far better lengthy term investment as part of a project and why it adds higher worth to a home. OK. I know it seems like there is a lot to do and know about cleaning travertine, but if you think about it most of the Do's and Don'ts are items you already do and don't do! Possibly the traffic will result in the travertine to put on quicker, but it could be a lovely appear since of the patina that comes from use. Such a lovely travertine interiors that can add a customized touch to your property decor.
Even though travertine tiles are stunning to look at and as sturdy as marble, it is critical to remember that the stone is porous. If you are constructing a travertine patio , marble patio , marble pool deck or searching for options for pool coping , you have come to the appropriate place. This stone floor and wall tile range is supplied in two thicknesses, 10mm & 12mm which tends to make them appropriate for domestic and light industrial use.

Under the 'Jobs' option, a user can view the status of jobs that have been scheduled, are currently running or have been completed. These jobs were created under the 'Data Protection' option in the 'Configure' drawer.
A Job can be defined and started in two primary ways:
- Interactively- When you access the 'Take backup' icon located on the Volume Group page under 'Configure', it starts the Job immediately. See details of how to schedule an interactive backup in Configure → Data Protection → Volume Groups.
- Scheduled- When you take one or more of Snapshot, Cloud Snapshot and Cloud Clone based on a schedule defined through a Data Protection policy, the Job is started as per the policy attached. See Policies for details on how to create a policy.
The Jobs page displays three tabs in this view: 'Scheduled Jobs', 'Running Jobs' and 'Completed Jobs'. 'Scheduled Jobs' lists jobs scheduled to run in the future, 'Running Jobs' enumerates those currently in progress and 'Completed Jobs' lists the ones that have completed. Both types of jobs, scheduled and interactive are listed in these views.

Boing Boing points the way to the fabulous faux jingle by Carl Willat called "The TJ's Song," set to the wistful tune of Antonio Carlos Jobim's classic "Waters of March," and extolling TJ's highs and lows like "the peanut butter made of sunflower seeds," "10 kinds of soy milk that all taste the same," and "the apple juice that's as addictive as crack":
The whole song is catchy, but the part that moves me is the line about "your favorite stuff they don't have anymore." As any TJ's shopper knows, the high you get from scoring a pound of walnut pieces for $4.29 is inevitably accompanied by the agony of watching a favorite product disappear (how I miss you, soy and chorizo taquitos and butternut squash ravioli). The pain of losing a food you've grown to love is so acute that it fuels a board at the Trader Joe's fan site and an epic Chowhound thread.
No, TJ's fans, the frozen chicken masala and the mandarin orange sauce will not be back. But on rare occasions, if you can figure out the major manufacturer that makes any of Trader Joe's private-label goods, you can find a reasonable facsimile of gone-but-not-forgotten foods.
As to why Trader Joe's sheds products so often, the official Trader Joe's site says that some products are seasonal, others have to go to make way for new products, and still others are discontinued because TJ's can't get a good price from manufacturers.

Bonjour, mes belles! Hello and welcome to another fun (and blonder) installment of 5 Things That Are Making My Week. Here's this week's Top 5, starting off big with a whole new look for moi!
- My blonde hair! Of course, the biggest cosmetic change of my entire life. I've always wondered how I'd look as a blonde, and I LOVE it! I think I might have been an inner blonde all along, so this is very fun right now for me, and I feel pretty! It still feels so different, but it's really given me a new lease on life, as well as an added boost of confidence.
- My shell & circle drop earrings: I received these earrings as part of a gift set years ago. Recently, I've been wearing them almost every day (I tend to repeat accessories a lot), and the slight shimmer and hint of seaside beauty feels very feminine and delicate. It makes me think of mermaids and beach vacations.
- Sweet Kale Superfood Salad: I was first introduced to this delicious salad by Nick's mom, and it's become a dinner staple for me at home. Everything is prepped, chopped, and fresh, and it's so tasty and healthy! It's got kale, broccoli, brussels sprouts, pumpkin seeds, a delicious dressing – in short, yum.
- Homemade Lavender Linen Spray: A simple mix in a small spray bottle, (1-2 tbsp rubbing alcohol, 10 drops lavender essential oil, and then water to fill), lightly spritzed all over the sheets, pillow and blanket just before getting into bed. It's great for freshening up the linens, and the lavender scent is a beautiful natural relaxing scent to help with sleep.
- NYX Stick Blush: I have the Tulip shade, a nice natural pink. The blush leaves a rosy glow on my cheeks that not only lasts all day, but that I can also have control over the placement. For lazy makeup days, I just dab a bit on my lips and I'm set 🙂
I hope you enjoy these little bullet points. It's been a fun, fresh week, and I've got a fun, fresh new look! I'll keep finding out if blondes have more fun, but it's looking like they might 🙂
What's making your summer sweet? New foods, a new look? I can't wait to hear what it is for you!

The Post sent a 20-year-old intern into various bars and bodegas, mostly in the East Village and Lower East Side, and discovered that -- OMG! -- many places served him a drink... even though his New Jersey license showed that he is underage.
Per the story:
He got served at an astonishing 17 of 30 establishments -- 57 percent -- despite the stores and gin joints facing fines up to $10,000 and the loss of their state liquor licenses.
Many of the spots, selected randomly from among 132 places with underage State Liquor Authority violations from May 1, 2009 to May 1, 2010, never bothered to ask the college sophomore for his ID -- a valid New Jersey driver's license showing his birthday, Aug. 29, 1989.
At Kate's Joint, at 58 Ave. B, a female bartender asked for his ID, looked at the license briefly and poured the intern a Blue Moon draft, waving at the owner herself, Kate, as she sat at the bar, which had two signs cautioning that drinking was not legal for those under 21.
Her only question: "Would you like some orange wedges with that?"
A male bartender at Cosmic Cantina, at 99 Third Avenue, looked over the license before selling the intern a bottle of Dos Equis for $5. He then said, "This is for you," and poured a free shot of tequila. When the intern walked out, the bartender encouraged him to take the open but untouched beer with him.
A few things about this story:
--Why would anyone order Blue Moon? It tastes like moldy water.
--Did he accept the orange slices?
--I like the bar at Kate's.
--Cosmic Cantina's last day is today... they didn't renew their lease.

Monday's Postcard: Thailand
This is a postcard of the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market outside of Bangkok. I went there with my stepmother in the spring of 1994 and it was just a riot of colors and smells and sounds.

IGP extends deadline to validate automated tint permit, firearms licence
Police Commission opens recruitment portal April 1
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Solomon Arase has directed that the deadline for the validation of automated vehicle tint permits and firearms licences be extended to May 31st 2016, as the initial closing date expired last week, with many Nigerians yet to register.
Meanwhile as part of efforts to commence the process of recruiting 10,000 policemen as promised by President Muhammadu Buhari last year, the Police Service Commission (PSC) has opened the portal where interested candidates can begin applying for intake into the force free of charge from the 1st April 2015.
A statement on the validation of permits by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) Olabisi Kolawole issued yesterday in Abuja said the order for the extension "has become imperative to enable members of the public seamlessly key into the electronic platform initiative of the Nigeria Police Force Central Information System (NCIS)."
Recall that in January at the launch of the Nigeria Police Force Central Information System (NCIS) when he gave the directive for the revalidation of tint permit, fire arms licences and Character Certificates, Arase justified the new directive by saying the analogue system has a questionable integrity, as it can be easily forged.
He said: "It has been practically difficult to engage best international practices to vet firearms applicants, monitor the extent of compliance of licensees with extant firearms laws, and address the challenge of fire arms proliferation.
"All these gaps impact negatively on the ability of the Nigeria Police to effectively attain its core mandate of preventing and detecting crimes, and protecting the lives and property of the citizens…"I am to clarify that there will be a three months window for the revalidation of the Fire arms License and the Tinted Permit.
Consequently, with effect from March 18, 2016, the current Fire arms License and Tinted Permit will become invalid and holder may be liable to arrest and prosecution."
Kolawole said the new order by the IGP has been communicated to all command commissioners of Police to facilitate compliance and "ensure that nobody is exploited and extorted on account of revalidating tinted permit, firearms licence, and
police character certificate, as revalidation is free of charge.
He also warned that those who are yet to complete their automated licence process should not be subjected to unnecessary harassment and embarrassment by policemen in their respective commands."
The Assistant Director Press and Public Affairs of the PSC said Ikechukwu Ani in a statement yesterday said the unveiled portal for the recruitment exercise was opened on Tuesday 22nd March 2015, but would be fully operational and accessible by the members of the public from April 1, 2016.
Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari, at the opening of the National Security summit in August last year approved the recruitment of 10,000 additional Police Officers as one more incentive to curtailing unemployment, youth empowerment as well as addressing the obvious personnel deficit in the force.

Here are some websites I find useful, informative, or just plain enjoyable. If your searching the web for pet advice, these are some good places to start.
ASPCA Pet Care – Great online resource for pet owners, tonnes of useful information.
VCA Pet Health Information – If you're going to look up medical information online, be sure you are getting it from a trusted source. You can trust this one.
American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) – If you are a cat person, this is a must check out website. Resources for cat owners, also a good way to find a cat friendly vet if you're on the look out for a new vet.
Also, if you're a cat person, you should also check out Winn Feline Foundation – just trust me. Check them out.
Dr. Sophia Yin – This is a wonderful resource for pet behaviour issues, and low stress handling. Sadly, the veterinary community lost a true gem in Dr. Yin in 2014. However, the amazing work she has done carries on with all the wonderful information she has made available through her website.
Ohio State University's Indoor Pet Initiative – Lots of useful resources for providing the best quality of life for our indoor pets.
Cornell University's Partners in Animal Health – some nice resources for pet owners, especially if you have a cat you need to give a pill to! Very detailed instructional video to be found here.
Pets & Parasites – Do you have a pet? Then you should probably educate yourself on the parasites they may be at risk for. Seriously. It's gross, but it's important. There's more out there than just fleas!
House Rabbit Society – Do you have a pet rabbit? This is a must check out resource.
Worms & Germs Blog – this is a great blog, that I mention in this post. Very informative, and interesting if you're into these kinds of thing. Also has some great resources.
Do you like to learn with a fun visual? Cone of Shame is a series done by Dr. Andy Roark , who is quite funny and very informative. I definitely hugely recommend that you check him out!
Diary of a Real-Life Veterinarian – exactly as the title suggests, this is a blog by a veterinarian. Lots of very informative posts about a wide range of topics.

Time and time again, I've had friends come to me asking, "will he propose?" It's usually accompanied with tears, ice-cream and the constant slamming of cupboards and/or doors.
Yes, it is indeed terribly frustrating. How do you know when a man is on the road to wedded bliss…or when he's simply taking you for a ride? Put down the spoon and dry your eyes. I'm here to give you the answer.
1. He's gradually increased his level of commitment to you.
This can entail a lot of different things. For instance, when you first started dating, he'd freak out if you left your toothbrush at his place. Now you've got a week's worth of work clothes in his closet. That's a good sign.
If there has been constant progress within your relationship, there's no need to assume it'll stop. You've been hitting the next steps together. Why won't a proposal be another one?
However, if your relationship seems to be stagnant, that may be cause for concern. If you've been dating for three years and he still acts weird when you sleep over, it's unlikely you'll be heading down the aisle anytime soon. Will he propose? Doubtful.
2. He refers to you as "us."
This clearly shows his state of mind when it comes to the relationship. It shows that he sees the world with you by his side and that he's already relinquished some of his independence.
For example, his mom invites him to visit over Christmas. He replies, "I'll let you know what we're doing that day. He doesn't answer only for himself realizing that the two of you will be together.
3. He talks about the future and you're in it!
If he says things like, "oh man, we should totally take a Mediterranean cruise next year," you can be guaranteed that is a great sign. Men don't usually like to discuss the future if they're unsure as to whether or not you'll be in it! They'll avoid the topic completely rather than have you start asking questions about where the relationship is going.
4. He's mentioned marriage – even if only in passing.
A man who's afraid of commitment or who can't see a future commitment with you won't say things like, "when we get married…" or "I've always wanted a beach wedding." It just won't happen.
A man who's not afraid to bring up the subject probably won't be afraid to pop the question. Will he propose? Probably.
5. He doesn't freak out when you mention marriage.
Granted, any man will start to get annoyed if you're constantly talking about when you get married, (It is just not a good strategy, ladies!) but the occasional word drop won't send him into a tailspin. If he answers your questions, contributes to the discussion (no matter how brief) and doesn't pee himself, you've got nothing to worry about!
What It All Boils Down To…
While none of above can guarantee you've got an engagement ring in your future, it can give you clues as to whether or not you're waiting your time. Don't fool yourself if you know he's not the marrying kind. I have seen woman after woman try to get a self-professed commitment phobe to propose. It is a complete waste of time and energy. Why would you want to convince a man to marry you? I just don't get it.
If you've read the above and he's passed the "test" with flying colours, give him some room to breathe! Don't push him into proposing or torture yourself by constantly asking, "will he propose?"
It's been my personal experience that men want a proposal to be a complete and utter surprise. He can't surprise you if you're bringing it up every day! Just be your wonderful self and he simply won't be able to resist.

Gosford Park
My sweetie had yesterday off. We watched Gosford Park for the fourth time. I really enjoy the movie and yet, even after so many viewings, I still have a hard time remembering who all the people are and how they relate to one another. Maybe that's why it's a film that can sustain repeated viewings. That and it's an English mystery - one of my favorite genres.
I've still been quilting on Space 4 Rent and actually have an entire block done - I've been skipping around a lot, not just focusing in on one area. I haven't been doing much sewing - one block a day, tho that does add up in the end.
I managed to pry myself out of the house yesterday to help my friend decide on a binding for her New York Beauty quilt and I'm leaving soon for lunch and quilting bee. Two days in a row of socializing - how about that. Sky is really overcast and the heat is on in the apartment, but I bet it's not all that cold outside. Yesterday I wore a sweater and I sure didn't need it.

P.S. excuse typos, can't actually see the printing on the screen as yet..LOL

I am loving these houses, I can't wait for the weekend to try it myself. I also can't wait to see Space for Rent! How much longer are you going to make us wait!!!! LOL!

Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workforce is crucial to Africa's innovative capacity and global competitiveness. Yet women are still vastly underrepresented in STEM jobs and among STEM degree holders.
This leaves an untapped opportunity to expand STEM employment in the Africa, even as there is wide agreement that more must be done to improve its competitiveness.
In a #SheAppsAfrica Pan-African campaign for year 2017/2018, the pioneering Miss.Africa Digital program has joined the workforce once again by mobilizing the third Round of Miss.Africa Seed Funding for Tech initiatives throughout Africa.
Miss.Africa Digital program being the first Pan-African program for women in technology, has focused all its efforts in targeting female youth audiences, to increase their personal involvement in early technology use and adoption with a view to improving their digital self-awareness and empowerment, and overall self-esteem. Part of this is achieved through the annual Miss.Africa seed fund grant.
Having seen high level of success in the past consecutive years, the Miss.Africa Seed Fund, will again avail a sum of Seven Thousand United States Dollars (USD 7000), in grants to support women and girls in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields to launch or expand their own initiatives that will increase digital opportunities in IT related training, jobs and leadership roles.
The 2016/17 winner of the Five Thousand United States Dollars (5000USD) grand prize was awarded to Abocoders, a Nigeria based initiative. Bahir Dar University STEM Center, Ethiopia and Ubongo Game Lab, Zambia both received a sum of One Thousand United States Dollars (1,000 USD) for the second seed fund category.
Hundreds of Women have so far benefited from the Miss.Africa seed funding. The program expects the number to increase by the end of the year when the 2016/17 cohort graduate.

Moving SCOM 2012 from (Eval) to (Retail)
I ran into an issue where I noticed the installed version of SCOM 2012 said it was an evaluation edition. This post will show how to move the SCOM 2012 install from evaluation to retail.
This can be accomplished through the following steps.
- First to find out how much time is left on the evaluation version open the Operations Manager Shell and run the following command:
Get-SCOMManagementGroup | ft skuforlicense, Version, timeofexpiration -a
- Open the Operations Manager PowerShell
Type in the following command: Set-SCOMLicense –ProductId <your product id: XXXXX-XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX>.
Click "Y"
***Note*** I put this error in here in case you experience this. Make sure your account has rights to the registry. If you still receive the error there is a workaround below.
- A work around for this would be to Open the Windows PowerShell Command and run the following command:
Import-Module OperationsManager
Set-SCOMLicense –ProductID XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
The command will only take a few seconds to complete.
Finally restart the following services:
System Center Management
System Center Management Configuration
System Center Data Access Service
- Now open SCOM 2012 go to help and about. You should now see Retail.

Towards the end of the summer, I was in desperate need of a mental break. Work was a bit crazy for me, especially since I was tackling on new responsibilities without the #bosslady. Not as if it I hadn't done the work before, it's just the fact that I was juggling so many projects at the same time, all of which had tight deadlines. All I remember from the month of September was going to bed thinking about work, and waking up thinking about work.
Apparently, I wasn't the only one feeling a bit overwhelmed – my best friend had just started a new position as a nurse, so she found herself going crazy too. What to do when you're just about to explode? We pulled an all-nighter, driving out of Los Angeles, passing through Vegas (both of us were mind blown about what lied beyond the strip) and found ourselves at Zion National Park in Utah. Both my bestie and I were running on zero sleep, so you can just imagine how tortuous it was driving that blacked-out highway.
After being on the road for six hours, bestie and I, finally, arrived at Zion National Park – a place that I've been wanting to check-off of my bucket list. The first thing we did was head-up to The Narrows, a pretty easy hike for people with tired eyes. The Narrows requires you to tread through the Virgin River, which is about 16-miles in length. Bestie and I did the typical 2-3 hour hike, which I believe is 3-4 miles to and back, starting from the Temple of Sinawava. The time that we were there, the water was only up to our knees, which I've heard can go up to your waist line if you proceed deeper into the hike. During this hike, I found myself laughing a lot, and that's probably because I kept being sucked into the sand. Not only was I laughing to myself, but the strangers around me couldn't help but crack up at the fact that I couldn't pull myself out!
The following day, bestie and I, originally, had planned to check-out Angel's Landing, which was noted to be an extremely strenuous hike. But due to the fact that bestie was bit fearful of how difficult the hike appeared, we decided to head over to Observation Point instead, which was noted to be just a strenuous hike. Oh boy, was I SOOOO glad that we did not end up doing Angel's Landing because Observation Point kicked-my-fucking-ass! Literally, not within 5-minutes of the hike, I was already out-of-breath. From that moment on, I knew I was going to have a rough time. Not only was I was dealing with being #hangry, I was nearly this close in knocking the next person out, who would tell me again, "You're almost there!" Cursing at mother nature, I grew extremely silent as bestie and I made our way up the mountain – when that happens, you know it's best to leave me alone. As we approach closer to Observation Point, all that feeling of frustration vanished – mother nature turned out to be beautifully, breath-taking…
Want to hear the most funniest part of all this? After returning back from Observation Point, bestie and I had strongly believed the hike was altogether a 16-mile trail, to and back. The hike that bestie and I both agreed would be our first and last time to ever do, turned out to be only an 8-mile hike, to and back! Like, what the hell…
Aside from all of that, if you ever decide to visit Zion National Park, be sure to check-out Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort. Bestie and I "glamped" out there, since it was the only available space near the park, which I had, later, discovered why – who the hell "glamps" in 30-degree weather?! The difference between camping and "glamping" is that there's electricity (and if you're lucky, there's a flushable toilet and showers next to your already-made tent). The resort gives you the option to either camp, glamp or rent a well-heated cabin on the facility. They also provide you an itinerary of the day-to-day activities available, from rock climbing to star gazing. If bestie and I had more time, we would have taken full advantage of the place.
Check-out some of the highlights below:
After our weekend getaway, I definitely felt rejuvenated to push out the last of our client's launch. All I needed was a bit of the grand outdoors to help me re-focus my energy. Aside from that, I was, especially, excited because it was literally just one-month before I take-off on my Europe trip! Stay tune to read all about it next week 🙂

Her name was called and the crowd went wild. This is the scene, as we heard it described, when Kelsie won herself a free senior session with Radiant Photography!
We gave away a couple of sessions to help out the high school group at a local church and Kelsie… who had actually already scheduled a session with us prior to winning… was the lucky one!
Her mom, who was already prepared to shell out the cash for her previously scheduled upcoming session, might technically be the winner in this scenario!
Which is probably the reason why she was the one to be heard screaming above all the rest when Kelsie's name was called. They seriously described a very funny scene about when they won and it makes me laugh a second time as I recall the story!
The scene around her actual senior session was not much less chaotic than when she won the session! The reason being… it's Christmas card season in photography land and everyone was out and about capturing the memories of their 3 year olds screaming -because they know they'll miss it when the kid turns 16- all the while Kelsie's attempting to keep a straight face while the little kids around her are being hilarious.
It's not exactly the way you imagine your top model-esque senior session to be! It was CRAZY!
The lame thing is that the reason Kelsie chose the Mesa Arts Center for her location is because none of her friends have theirs done there and she wanted to be different… but as soon as we arrived there, we were sad to find that we weren't being as unique as we thought because apparently everyone else had the same idea!
We were able to reassure Kelsie that she was in fact unique because she was definitely the only one being photographed who was over 4 ft tall and who wasn't wearing a red and green velvet dress with giant bows in her hair (because she was the only over the age of 7).
We were further encouraged when we found that majority of the actual locations we chose for shooting around the area were completely different than what everyone else was using…
(inside the parking garage)
(inside the elevator)
…not to mention, we continued shooting at least an hour after everyone else had run out of light and gone home.
With our handy dandy Canon 5D Mark II camera bodies that provide quite the low light luxury, and add to that my little lighting bug I have (whom I also call "Scottie")… running out of sunlight isn't really an issue for us.
So don't worry Kelsie, despite the fact that other people chose your same location, your pictures are definitely still unique! I guarantee you there wasn't a family who left there that day who ended up with pictures like these!
You were an excellent model and we had a blast laughing with you at all the cute little kids around us that day!
Thanks for making our job so easy!! We couldn't be happier to have a winner who was as excited about it as you (and your mom) were! Your excitement about our photos totally made our day… our week actually.
Thanks for being such a huge fan (as well as a great stalker on Radiant's Facebook page) and for calling us to help you remember this great time in your life! Happy graduation!
Click to see the rest of Kelsie's winning senior session!

Special thanks to Minnesota CLE for the invitation to create a web-based CLE content series related to environmental issues for business and real estate lawyers. The goal of the webcast series is to provide a range of informative programming starting with a primer on basic environmental law issues that may be present in the typical business and real estate practice setting. The webcasts delve into more specialized aspects of the environmental law practice including real estate due diligence, issues arising in the business transactions and responding to federal and state enforcement actions.
The first webcast session, which is entitled "Environmental Law Basics," is designed to provide business and real estate lawyer with an overview of environmental law issues that arise in a typical practice. This session discusses federal and state laws, environmental permits and regulations and how these laws affect business and apply in the transactional setting.
The second session focusses on environmental issues that arise in business and real estate transactions. The webcast, entitled: "Environmental Due Diligence in Business and Real Estate Transactions," reviews the use of Phase I Environmental Site Assessments to assess property conditions, follow-up Phase II testing and the availability of liability assurances to facilitate real estate transactions.
The third session, entitled "Environmental Due Diligence – Focus — Soil Vapor Intrusion," provides an in depth examination of the currently evolving complex topic of managing soil vapor intrusion into structures. Federal and state health and environmental agencies and standard due diligence practice require soil vapor assessments when vapor encroachment conditions are present. When testing reveals elevated levels of vapors, the installation of building mitigation systems may be required.
Finally, the fourth webcast relates to enforcement of environmental laws and regulations and is entitled: "Complying With Environmental Laws in the Era of Trump." This webcast reviews federal and state environmental enforcement trends, responding to inspections and alleged violation letters, negotiation and resolution of cases where violations are cited and the use of audits and Environmental Management Systems to prevent violations from occurring.
In my practice as an environmental attorney I often work closely with environmental consultants. When planning the webcasts I thought it would be helpful for viewers to get a technical perspective on environmental issues. Dana Wagner, an experienced consultant with Terracon, and I have collaborated on preparation of materials and presentation of the webcast sessions. We are grateful that each session has over 100 viewers. We appreciate the support and interest of attorneys. We were excited to learn that Minnesota CLE has announced the webcast sessions continue to be available under their "On Demand" CLE option. To view these webcasts, please visit: https://www.minncle.org/OnDemands.aspx
As noted above thus far we have prepared and presented four webcast presentations on topics of interest to the real estate and business attorneys. Links to the Powerpoint presentations for these sessions are found at:
Business and Real Estate Attorneys – Environmental Law Basics
Business and Real Estate Attorneys – Environmental Due Diligence in Business and RE Transactions
Business and Real Estate Attorneys – Environmental Due Diligence – Focus – Soil Vapor Intrusion –
Business and Real Estate Attorneys – Complying with Environmental Laws In The Era of Trump
Once again, we are grateful for the opportunity to present these Minnesota CLE webcast sessions as well as the positive response and interaction we have received from viewers. Plans are underway for the next sessions in this webcast series. Please let us know if there are topics or issues you would like to see us cover in future sessions. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Minnesota CLE and preparing expanded offerings.
Attorney Joseph Maternowski is often asked by in house counsel and other practicing attorneys to assist with the representation of clients in business and real estate transactions, on issues arising in real estate transactions, responding to Agency requests, defending enforcement actions and developing audit and compliance programs. Mr. Maternowski is also frequently asked to present on topics related to environmental compliance and ways to minimize environmental liability.
Furthermore, please see the disclaimer at the bottom of this page that relates to limitations on this blog and to legal advice. Finally, for additional information please contact:

Ten of Swords (reversed): Arsenal Reborn
Posted on September 17th, by batmandela in Barclays Premier League, FFP, Opinion, Tarot. 2 comments
It's like Arsenal, as a snake-entity, has shed its old skin: Pat Rice gone, money-grabbers gone, an attitude of zero-tolerance towards disloyalists, and a group of players remaining that look coolly desperate to convince. It's a privilege to witness, this rebirth.
The Sting In The Tale
Posted on September 11th, by batmandela in Barclays Premier League, General, Opinion. 2 comments
The Arsenal fairy tale du jour is that Ian Wright, Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp AND Robin van Persie all opened their Arsenal league goal-scoring accounts against Southampton…

Your Whole Life has been a Lie
Did you know there are eleventy hundred things you are doing wrong every day? I didn't until I started reading all the articles telling me so. I'm 45 years old and I thought I'd been getting along pretty good. But I'm starting to question how I made it this far in life, because every time I turn on the TV or look at the inter-webz, I see another ad or article exclaiming how I'm doing something wrong. If you've been living a sheltered life and don't believe me, then you are obviously doing it wrong. Haha, JK. No really, type it in the Google and see. It's really a wonder that humans haven't gone into extinction like the dinosaurs, who were obviously doing it wrong.
Did you know that you are doing one of the most basic human functions wrong? That's right, kids; you're pooping wrong. All this time, you thought all you had to do was pull down your pants, maybe grab the latest People or Sports Illustrated, and sit on the commode to drop your deuce? Wrong. Apparently, our anatomy doesn't fit well with the bum on the seat and floor full of feet method. In order to poop correctly, your feet need to be perched on a little footstool to aid in evacuation. Personally, this hasn't been an issue for me, because girls don't poop, but guys, you may want to start grabbing a stool (no pun intended) instead of that Hustler mag.
And ladies, you are not exempt from this conversation. It appears you've been washing your lady parts wrong, too. Even though I own one, I don't even think I'm qualified to give advice on this subject. Why just the other day, I stopped over in a public restroom and wasn't sure if the smell I was experiencing was me or the results of a sour mop. Luckily, my good friend Lo-Lo, confirmed it was an issue in her stall, which was two doors away, so I'm pretty sure it was the mop and we aren't in dereliction of duty in our garden tending duties.
You remember when your mom told you to cover your mouth when you're coughing or sneezing? Well, you're doing that wrong, too. You thought you were being polite, but you forgot about all the people who have to come into contact with all the shit you've touched with your germy ass hands after you've coughed all over them. You are supposed to cough and sneeze into your elbow. Because nobody touches your elbow. Unless you're a woman, and then maybe some old, creepy dude touches your elbow, but damn him and his obvious boundary issues. He deserves to get the flu.
Did you know you weren't supposed to stick Q-tips in your ear? This is a company that has spent their entire advertising budget for the last 40 years on cleaning the earwax out of your ears. But it seems using these innocuous little cotton tipped sticks to clean out your ears is a huge no-no. Does anyone buy Q-tips for another reason? I will never feel complete after a shower again unless I can stick this little thing in my ear. FAKE NEWS! SAD!
Another thing you're doing wrong is not using your Mickey D's lid as a coaster. Who knew? I just can't even. I'm so clumsy, I need that extra barrier to prevent spills on unsuspecting electrical like equipment. I mean what, in 2017, do you want to protect? Your 1950's era desk valued at $25.00 or the $2K company Dell? I think people want me to use that scrap paper as a coaster and leave the lid intact. But I can't even wash my vagina or poop correctly, so what do I know?
And if that weren't enough to blow your mind, you're also eating cereal wrong.
The world as I knew it before 6:39 p.m. today has ceased to exist. I'm retreating to my bed with a foil-covered pillow hoping I awake to a world where I can stick a Q-tip in my ear and eat my cereal in a nonjudgmental way.
Down the Rabbit Hole: There's a pill for that
If you've spent any amount of time in front of a TV recently, then you can't help to see one hundred and fifty nine commercials about prescription drugs. Usually, they start off with a moderately attractive person who has some medical condition that is hindering their enjoyment of every day life. Then the ad will claim to be able to fix that medical condition with their special concoction. This immediately results in the moderately attractive person's frown turning upside down. It's magic!
Then while you watch moderately attractive person once again enjoying life with other moderately attractive people while they frolic by a lake with a picnic basket, a slightly generic, but nonetheless annoying voice, starts talking about all the things that could go wrong while taking this magical concoction. You know, things like anal leakage, heart arrhythmia, involuntary muscle movements, cancer, coma, and/or death.
Whoa…back the truck up! I've got my choice between psoriasis or cancer? IBS or increased liver enzymes? Depression or death by suicide? Um, hello? I don't know about you, but I'm imagining people in white lab coats conducting experiments and then conversing amongst themselves:
Stan: Well, Fred, we found a cure for erectile dysfunction, but it's going to make hair grow out of your eyeballs and result in uncontrollable farting.
Fred: Excellent, Stan! That's some fine work you've done there. Let's name it Xizirqibja! Everyone will love it! We'll be rich and sipping Mai Tais in the Virgin Islands in no time at all. Insert evil laugh.
Never mind the fact that poor dude taking Xizirqibja will never find anyone to actually have sex with him because of his hairy eyeballs and incessant flatulence. What the hell are these people thinking? And do they get a bonus for every X, Q, Z, and J they use in the drug name?
First off, I'm not putting anything into my mouth that I cannot pronounce that doesn't follow standard grammatical procedures. Secondly, I'm not going to trade off on a non-fatal condition with another thing that is just as much as an ass pain as the thing I'm suffering from to begin with. Tell me one person who's willing to take a pill to cure a slightly annoying, albeit unsightly, yet non-fatal, skin condition with something that might result in cancer, which can KILL YOU. Really, just name that one person and provide me with their contact information. So I can slap some common sense back into them.
Since our lawmakers aren't doing anything to rein these dipshits in, it's your job as the consumer to say enough with this shit. Stop buying into this crap and take a stand. Demand something better for your money. Don't settle for some run of the mill crap while paying big bucks to live a mediocre life. The money isn't in the cure; it's in the keeping you alive just long enough to where you'll need more of their special concoctions. After they give you hairy eyeballs to cure your ED, they'll come up with something to fix hairy eyeballs. But it'll give you incontinence, which amazingly they'll have another pill that can fix that.
Big Pharma isn't into cures. They're into dollars. And while you're dealing with your hairy eyeballs and leaky anuses, their CEO's are in the Caribbean dining on lobster while butlers bring them fruity cocktails to sip on.
Think about that the next time you feel compelled to ask your doctor for that fad drug you saw during a commercial break while watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
If it weren't already apparent, I am a woman. I support and encourage other women. This isn't a competition; there is enough room for us all to be successful. I have been looking forward to International Women's Day for over a month now. When I first heard about the strike, I was all in. I was going to call in sick and take a stand. But after some consideration, I realized that in my current work situation, I would just be screwing another woman who didn't have the choice to stay at home.
So instead, I proudly showed up to work wearing red. I excitedly looked around at my 95% female workplace hoping to see a sea of red. I saw ONE other woman. I asked her if she wore red on purpose, to which she responded no. I was sort of crushed. But I explained to her the meaning of red today, and she was fully on board and glad that it just so happened she wore red. And that made me smile.
What doesn't make me smile is hearing other women express that they don't believe inequality exists. I have a hard time believing that a woman living in 2017 has never experienced a situation that would lead them to realize that women are treated differently in our society. Are they saying they've never experienced discrimination in the work place? They've never been paid less money for equal work? That they've never experienced sexual harassment? That they've never been dismissed for concerns that are important to them? They've never been called crazy or hysterical for reacting to a situation? That they've never been dissuaded from pursuing something because they "are a girl"? That they've never had a domestic violence case dismissed because it was just a "misunderstanding"?
Nope. Not buying it. Just because you haven't personally experienced any of those things, does not mean that another woman hasn't. I've experienced some of those things. I know women who have experienced some of those things. I see women experiencing those things every day in the course of my work. I could tell you horror stories of the situations I've been in that would make your head spin, much like Regan MacNeil's head did in The Exorcist.
If you think all of these things don't exist, let me offer an alternative view. You say you don't believe women experience inequality because you don't personally see it in your life? Well, following that logic, you also can't actually see carbon monoxide, but I assure you, it exists. If you don't believe me, hook a hose up to the exhaust pipe of your car and stick it in the passenger area. Hop in, roll up the window, and turn your engine on. While you wait, turn on some Pink Floyd. I suggest The Wall. By Track 19 (Comfortably Numb), you should be drifting off into La La Land, and I'm not talking about the musical movie that was recently released. I urge you to tell me what happens at this point. Oh wait, you won't be able to tell me, because you'll be dead.
Obviously, I'm not suggesting that you should go commit suicide to prove my point (legal disclaimer for the less than intelligent folk). I am simply trying to illustrate the point that just because you don't see something happening, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Is it going to kill you to believe a woman experiences this shit every day? Nope. All it requires is that you open your mind and show some love to someone who doesn't have it as good as you do.
Women are not demanding you to give up something that you've worked hard to accomplish. We are not demanding a hand out. We are not demanding special treatment. We are simply demanding equal treatment. Is that really so hard?
For a country that touts freedom and liberty for all, we are far behind the curve when it comes to women and the issues that affect them. I know everyone in this country has a mother. Do you not want the best for the woman who gave birth to you?
Are you OK with that weirdo on the street telling your mom he wants to eat her pussy? Are you OK with your mom making 75 cents while the man working next to her makes $1.00? Are you OK with your mom's boss telling her that she would be fuckable if not for her fat ass?
No? Then you should be supporting EVERY damn thing that supports equality for women.
The End.
Damn You, Wrong Emoji
So the other day, I was texting a friend and made a funny comment, to which I wanted to add the 😂 emoji.
But due to my advanced age and poor eyesight, I hit 😘 instead. After seeing what I had done, I immediately thought "oh shit" and sent the obligatory "what I meant to say" text. Lucky for me, I have cool friends.
But the whole thing got me thinking. What if Trump were texting some really bad hombre, Putin perhaps, and he meant to send a little 😉, but instead he hit 💣.
I mean he's consideribly older than me, so his eyesight is probably a lot worse than mine and he has those bigly hands, which would make hitting the wrong emoji even more likely. Oh shit, indeed.
People. We are literally one mistaken emoji away from WWIII.
Quick! Someone get DT a Jitterbug. 😱
Hello, 1950 is Calling and They Want Their Views Back
Recently a bill was introduced in Utah addressing the pay gap between men and women. That's a good thing, right? I mean why should your pay be based upon the genitalia between your legs? One would think that it should be based upon the work you do and, quite possibly, whether or not you do it well. But due to the recent political changes in the US, some jack wagon thought it would be a great idea to write a letter to the editor of his local newspaper denouncing such a move.
Mr. James Green, the Vice Chair of the Wasatch County Republican Party, actually wrote words on paper and then sent them to media outlets for publishing, that stated he thought that men should make more money because they are the primary breadwinners in society and that paying women the same amount of money as their male counterparts ruins the whole makeup of the world. As a matter of fact, it just turns the whole world topsy-turvy because it encourages more women to enter to workforce, thus lowering the available jobs for the bread-winning men to support their families.
Obviously, Mr. Green's contact with the outside world is limited to his DVD collection of Leave it to Beaver. He later apologized for his letter and resigned from his position, but defended his words by citing the "historical reasons for pay disparity", one of which being that women sometimes take a break from the workforce to raise children.
I have a few words for Mr. Green, and anybody who still holds the same antiquated beliefs. Yes, some women are in "traditional" positions where they decide to stay at home and raise children. Should they be penalized for that? What happens when their husbands decide to take up with the "office secretary" and leave their wife and children high and dry to fend for themselves and the former stay at home mom has to enter the workforce to support kids that the "breadwinner" refuses to support? What happens to that secretary that he impregnates out of wedlock and refuses to acknowledge the child he produced? What happens to the child of the lesbian couple who has two working females making less than their male counterparts because they don't have a penis?
Hello, it's 2017, kids! I don't know about you, but I was raised with the idea that you want your kids to do better than you did. That's a pretty high bar that I need to pass for my kids. Nobody paid for my college education. I spent 10 years paying for that bitch, mostly in jobs that only women could get, while my male counterparts made more. To this day, my male counterparts, who do equal work, and who have been on the job for a lesser amount of time than I have, and don't have a college degree (like I do) make one penny more than I do per hour.
But I'm the one causing this mess? If Mr. Green wants to pay for my four kids to attend college at $18,000 per year (in state), I'll gladly step aside, and sip cocktails by the pool instead of busting my ass at my government job.
Until that happens, Mr. Green, and his counterparts, should STFU.
The Only Weight You Should be Watching is Your Own
If you've been looking at the Internet in the last few days, you might have come across some news that people are body shaming Lady Gaga over the appearance her midsection during her Super Bowl performance. These must be people who live in LA, or maybe New York, where only super skinny women with six-pack abs exist. For the first time in, oh forever, I actually watched the Super Bowl. In the past I've not been much of a Gaga fan, but after seeing that performance, I have to say she's converted me.
Regardless of what she looks like, Lady Gaga has proven herself to be amazingly talented. Girl has mad pipes. She's a gifted songwriter. She's extremely entertaining and exceptionally smart. She has to be physically fit to put on a performance of that nature. Hell, I can't even walk up two flights of steps and hold a conversation without becoming breathless. And everyone was so surprised that she didn't make some political statement. Are you sure about that? Maybe they weren't in your face, Madonna-like, I want to blow up the White House statements, but they were there, formed in an intelligent, thoughtful, subtle way. I guess everyone was too hung up on that belly to realize it. And there's where the shame should be – on the people too blind to look past a woman's physical attributes and recognize her ability and talent.
If you are one of the Belly Watchers, then I hope your glass house is in order and ready for a big ol' stone to come crashing through one of your walls. Women are not pretty little playthings for you to enjoy looking at. We come in all shapes and sizes, just like men. Some of us are extremely intelligent and talented, just like men. Some of us are even huge assholes, just like men.
I just wrote a blog on the things I'd like to see disappear in the New Year. Shaming was Number 4. Here we are, a month and a half into 2017, and Lady Gaga's belly is Internet fodder for people who have nothing better to do with their lives. Are you kidding me? I've had 4 kids, 2 of which I birthed at the same time. My stomach wouldn't look as good as Gaga's if I had three rounds of liposuction, a tummy tuck, and only ate iceberg lettuce from now until the day I died (probably of malnutrition).
PLEASE, for the love of all humankind, stop this behavior. We MUST stop basing our opinions of all people, but especially women, solely on their appearances. I'm not saying you can't have a negative opinion about someone, but for Pete's sake, base your opinion on something substantive that makes a difference and works towards the betterment of our society.
That woman, with a belly roll or two (which Gaga does not have), might actually be an amazing person who turns your world upside down and introduces you a new way of thinking that will change your life for the better. But you won't know that if you're only focused on her midsection.
Grab 'Em by the Pussy!
It's not an executive order YET, but we know Trump is pro-pussy grabbing, right?
Surely you've heard someone tell another person not to "be a pussy"? That saying just irks the living hell out of me. Basically, when you say that, you're saying that being a woman is a bad thing. That being a woman is akin to being weak.
If you're saying such a thing, then you don't know the women I know. I've been around for almost half a century and let me tell you, I've had the pleasure of knowing some strong ass women. I have also come in contact with some weak ass men. And I really resent hearing someone use that generalization which degrades women as a whole.
I personally have been so sick, to the point of being on the toilet with the shits while holding a trash basket to puke in at the same time, while trying to get two children off to school, and then taking care of two other toddler children for an entire day on my own. And I know I'm not the only woman in this world who has done that very exact thing. I know that happens every day, 100-fold, in this world. Yet somehow being a "pussy" is a bad thing?
Let's talk about the things the "pussy" does.
It gives birth to human beings. Have you witnessed that? I've done it 3 times. And that last time, I pushed two babies out at the same time. If you've ever had the privilege of witnessing that, it's not a weak thing. I cannot even imagine another thing a human being can do that is more amazing than that. Some of us even do it without drugs, which I can't even fathom. I thought I was a bad ass and I had the epidural all three times. And let me tell you, after you've pushed one human being out of your nether regions and then have to endure a grown man shove his arm, up to the elbow no less, into the depths of your body to turn the second baby around from the breach position, so you can then push that baby out, while all interested parties are more interested in the Colts playoff game, you're pretty much a super hero in my book. I'm still waiting for my Wonder Woman cape and tiara. And honestly after that, I should have some special pass that allows me to park in the front for everything from here on out.
But even when all that is not happening, every fucking month, the "pussy" is preparing for that to happen. Might not sound like a big deal, but let me tell you that preparing for the possibility of creating LIFE every month is quite the bitch. There can be unbearable cramps, heavy bleeding, severe back pain, diarrhea, and general malaise. But you know what? We are expected to report to school and work like it's just another Tuesday.
Later in life, when the "pussy" decides it's just tired of preparing for life every month, it does one other big fuck you. And can you blame her? Not that I've experienced it, but I hear things can get itchy and dry. And completely out of the blue, you can feel like Satan himself has set you on fire. Ever notice that lady you work with is not wearing a coat when it's 17 below zero? It's called menopause. Whatever you do, don't say anything about it, because, she truly has the strength to rip off your arms and shove them right up your ass. Do you really want to go through a whole workday with your arms sticking out of your asshole? My guess is NO. So, shut your trap and offer her a cool beverages and chocolates and get the hell out of the way.
None of this even addresses the personal grooming we go through for our significant others. In this day and age we have to guess. Are you a 70's kinda guy or a wannabe pedophile expecting the pre-pubescent look? Or somewhere in between that? We don't know. Our crystal ball is in the shop. And not only are we exhausted guessing what you want, we are fucking exhausted bending into non-conforming positions to make your porn dreams come true.
You want the government to regulate all that? Then tampons, pads, pantiliners, birth control, douches, wax, razors, vitamins, and women's health supplements should all be tax free. Our pussies need to be in tip top shape for all you white, male Republicans, right? Where's the executive order calling for all that?
Regardless, when you call someone a pussy, you're basically saying they are tough as shit. You're saying that person can raise kids, keep a house in order, even when they have a stomach flu that would knock most men to their feet, and organize a PTO bake sale on top that. Perhaps, if you want to imply someone is weak and can't handle anything beyond breathing on their own, you should use the term "dick."
I dare someone to take the advice of our President and grab me by the pussy. That dude will walk away with one mangled appendage that used to resemble a hand.

Rinn Duin Brewing celebrated its first anniversary (see video here) with a limited release, 365 Blackthorn, an 8.1% ABV Irish red spiked with some Belgian candi sugar, making it the Toms River brewery's biggest beer. But the brewery has also added entering the Philadelphia market and a small part of New York City to the 2015 to-do list.
With traditional English and Irish ales as its signature styles, Rinn Duin opened its doors at the start of 2014. Its 25-barrel brewhouse made it the largest of a half dozen breweries in that first wave of openings after the law change in the fall of 2012. In the audio clip, owner Chip Town talks about the first year and what to look for from Rinn Duin this year.
Trinity Smoked Scottish 70 is Toms River brewery Rinn Duin's first beer to go into 12-ounce bottles and six-packs.
Rinn Duin christened its bottling line last week with a run – 235 cases – of Trinity (4.0% ABV, 18 IBU) done over a couple of days. The startup brewery plans to bottle two more flagship brews, St. John's Irish Red (4.9%, 20 IBU) and Sandpiper English Brown (5.1%, 23 IBU), beginning next week.
"St. John's is in the fermenter now; (it) will be our second set of bottles. Sandpiper will be the last flagship, and our next seasonal, English Half-Wit, will be the first seasonal bottled," says Jacqui Town, who opened Rinn Duin with her dad, Chip Town, last year.
Half-Wit is a wheat ale made with orange spice tea to give it an English slant. (Rinn Duin brews English and Irish-style ales.) Rinn Duin's other seasonals are River Toms English IPA (6.8%, 55 IBU) and Pota Caifé (5.1%, 30 IBU), an Irish dry stout with coffee.
Pints and growlers from the tasting room at Rinn Duin Brewing …
The newly licensed brewery did steady business with its brown and Scottish ales Thursday evening, the long-awaited start of public tours and opening of its six-tap tasting room. The evening also marked the release of the English/Irish-style session ales that are the core of Toms River production brewery's beer lineup.
Toms River can claim the title as home to the Garden State's newest craft brewery.
State regulators on Tuesday paid a call on Rinn Duin Brewing, inspecting the brewery along Route 37 West and giving the state's blessing. The Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control is expected to issue a temporary license in a couple of days.
There are still a few more formalities to square away, the brewery's bottling line to install, and some other work, says Chip Town, of Jackson Township, who founded the brewery with his daughter, Jacqui. But the forthcoming permit from state regulators will let Rinn Duin at long last strike a mash and make beer. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the federal agency that regulates alcoholic beverage producers, signed off on Rinn Duin over the summer.
Construction at Rinn Duinn Brewing is winding down, with just a few utility details left to take care of before becoming Ocean County's first production craft brewery and first brewery of any kind since the late 1990s.
Founder Chip Town says the hope is to get the electrical work done and gas hooked up so brewing can commence the first week of September at the Route 37 ale-maker. (See Rinn Duin's early days here.)
Our latest brew, currently being served on Tap#2 is the "GRETEL'S KETTLE": Specially brewed for the holiday season! This rich, sweet ale is layered with 8 different malts, German Hallertau Magnum
