Sugar Skulls at Short Street Cakes, and more Dias De Los Muertos Celebrations!
From now through Wednesday, November 2nd, Short Street Cakes will host our 3rd Annual Dias De Los Muertos altar to celebrate Day of the Dead. We have blank sugar skulls for sale ($5, with a portion of proceeds to benefit COLA- Coalicion de Organizaciones Latino-Americanas), a table with icing, glitter, and sequins to decorate the skulls, and an altar where participants can leave offerings to the souls of the departed. Please feel free to join us, and bring your family to participate in the sacred act of honoring the dead.
From Wikipedia: "Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de los Muertos) is a Mexican holiday. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico, where it attains the quality of a National Holiday. The celebration takes place on November 1st and 2nd, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day (November 1) and All Souls' Day (November 2). Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. Scholars trace the origins of the modern Mexican holiday to indigenous observances dating back hundreds of years and to an Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl. In Brazil, Dia de Finados is a public holiday that many Brazilians celebrate by visiting cemeteries and churches. In Spain, there are festivals and parades, and, at the end of the day, people gather at cemeteries and pray for their dead loved ones. Similar observances occur elsewhere in Europe, and similarly themed celebrations appear in many Asian and African cultures."
I first learned to make sugar skulls two years ago from Suzie Millions, and I blogged about it, along with the recipe and more history of the holiday, here.
The lovely and wonderful Miss Glo will be hosting her altar again this year in the back courtyard at Mayfels on Tuesday, November 1st, starting at 5pm, and we will be bringing the altar at the Cake Shop there to join in the festivities. You can see photos of last year's celebration here, and read the write-up of the festivities from this week's Mountain Xpress, here. Noche de Alteres/Dias de los Muertos Celebration. I feel grateful and excited to be part of celebrating the season of honoring the loved ones who have passed on. I feel we need their guidance now more than ever. It also feels really wonderful to continue to root the Cake Shop in a community where we are building traditions and have moments throughout the year to come together and remember the cycles of the seasons and our souls. Each year that we celebrate Dias de Los Muertos, I feel more grounded in our families, our community, and our rich and beautiful history. Much love and many blessings, Jodi

Hi Jodi- it was lovely to meet you today at Square Books. I'm so glad that you were able to come to Oxford. I posted about the book on my blog.
I hope the rest of your tour goes well! Best of luck to you.

Hi Justin:
I just have to say, I love you! I'm writing because my son was in a two-year relationship, but they broke up this past May. After that, my son was dating a few different guys. As a mom, I kept giving him the talk about being careful and wearing protection if he had sex. My son is very open with me, and he did tell me he wasn't always wearing protection. Since October I have been on him about getting tested because he was putting himself at risk.
On November 7, he got a call from the doctor telling him he was positive. I have been asking my son to go to the Web site, thebody.com, and watch your videos, but he won't have any part of that. He just keeps telling me he is fine. My son thinks he does not have HIV. He did have a Western blot done, so I know the test isn't wrong.
I am just worried that my son will go into a depression soon. He won't go to any support groups and he doesn't want to talk about it unless he brings it up. My son has support from me, the family, and a few good friends that he did tell. I am worried about how he really is feeling inside, though. What can I do to help my son?
Also, my son wants to stay on dating sites and meet people. I am scared that he is just going to get hurt more. I know if he meets someone and he tells them he is positive they won't want to be with him. I did ask him to join an HIV dating site, but he says he doesn't think there are any and he doesn't want to date someone that is poz. Is that normal to think that way at first? And how can I get him to connect with other people who are going through the same thing he is?
Thank you for your time Justin and thank you for being there for so many others…you are an amazing person!
First let me just say that you are a good mother. I love that you felt open and trusting enough to send me this letter. My mother also was scared for me and gave me the talk about protected sex and being careful. But, as adults, we are in charge of making our own way and making our own decisions.
Finding out that you are positive may be jarring when you first hear it. One might go into denial or a state of numbness to where you will think nothing of it. Or even going as far as forgetting you even have the disease because the emotions of being scared, feared, and unloved are so impactful that one will say, "I'm fine," when you are really not.
He sounds like he is going through deep depression and is not snapping out of it anytime soon. He will have to let it out some way. I'm most worried about that he will find another way, a more dangerous way, to let out his frustrations. In my life drugs and sex seemed to cover up a lot of pain and sorrow. He will need to find a way.
I would also check to see if he is suffering from low self-esteem. There are many poz dating sites on the Internet. Before I met my husband I met a lot of guys off dating sites that didn't care about my HIV status because they liked me for me. Depending on his age a lot of young people do like going through the Internet to connect to other people that are going through the same things they are.
Ask him why he wouldn't want to date someone who is poz. It is a case-by-case basis about the feelings one has about being poz. There is no feeling that is normal or abnormal. You need to just be there and reassure him that you will always be there.
Justin B. Terry-Smith has been fighting the good fight since 1999. He's garnered recognition and awards for his work, but he's more concerned about looking for new ways to transform society for the better than resting on his laurels. He started up in gay rights and HIV activism in 2005, published an HIV-themed children's book, I Have A Secret (Creative House Press) in 2011, and created his own award-winning video blog called, "Justin's HIV Journal": justinshivjournal.blogspot.com. Now, with this column, Justin has found a way to give voice to the issues that people write to him about. Visit his main Web site at www.justinbsmith.com.

6 February extra! - The net is back
Late in the afternoon and unannounced another BT engineer turned up. Like his
predecessors he had a good idea where the fault must be but this one was
prepared to argue with his bosses that they didn't know what they were talking
about. They eventually agreed that my line should be put on a different port in the
street cabinet. The connection sprang back into life. A mere eight days later
than it would have done if BT Openreach had an iota of common sense in its corporate body.
The connection is horribly slow, not as good as I used to get over copper (under 6 megabytes download) before subscribing to the optical fibre service but that is a battle for another day. There will be a letter on the BT Chairman's desk before too long.
With 144 unanswered emails in the pipeline, don't expect replies any time soon.

As a leader, you might supervise other leaders. As such, you would be the one to implement the use of job or ministry descriptions with those leaders. They in turn will use job descriptions with people in their sphere of influence. Consequently, the way you use job descriptions will potentially impact how the other leaders use them as they observe and experience your example. It's the multiplication effect of 2 Timothy 2:2. — "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." Though this verse does not refer to the use of job descriptions, the principle itself could apply.
You need to model the proper use of job descriptions. Ministry is about so much more than the end result. How we get there matters to God — process.
Questions to Ask About the Kind of Example You are in Using Job Descriptions:
In previous posts we looked at developing job descriptions based on the basics of life in Christ. How we use this tool should reflect those same basics.
- Are you being an example in purposefully using job descriptions?
If you merely hand someone a piece of paper at the time of recruitment with little input about it and without using it as a future tool, then you are communicating that job descriptions are insignificant. Meaningfully use this piece of paper and the leaders for whom you are responsible in turn might determine to use it in a helpful way with others.
- Are you being an example of showing people the importance you place on their contribution by how you use their job description?
If you act like the job description is merely a formality, similar to signing a tax form, then you are doing little to promote the value of what you are expecting people to do. Use it to stress how their part really matters and they in turn might promote the dignity and worth of others in how they communicate ministry expectations to people in their sphere.
- Are you being an example in making it clear that people are accountable first and foremost to God?
If you act like the job description is something you can hold over people to control their behavior to meet your standard, then you are very likely not giving the impression that what God thinks matters most. Use this piece of paper as a jumping point for discussing their ministry in light of God's expectations and they in turn might ask the right questions of those for whom they are responsible.
- Are you being an example in putting an emphasis on heart qualities, not just behavior?
If you skim over the character traits that are listed on the job description and primarily emphasize the skills required, then you are undoubtedly encouraging people to think that what they do matters more than who they are. Use this opportunity to emphasize how the character traits help them more effectively do each of the tasks and they in turn might get beyond mere outward conformity with those in their sphere of influence.
- Are you being an example in following through on the promised support described in the job description?
If, on paper, you promised to provide resources, training, and accountability but in reality do little to support them, then you are opening the door for them be lax in fulfilling the responsibilities listed for them. Hold yourself accountable to doing your part and others might not only take their commitment seriously but also in turn be supportive toward others.
- Are you being an example in nurturing your own walk with God?
If you list personal growth expectations but do little to nurture you own walk with God, then you are undermining the importance of this section of the job description. Use personal examples showing why pulling on God's power is so important to spur them on to doing the same and they in turn might be able to communicate to others, "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ" (1 Cor. 11:1).

If you subscribe to the Wallace Stevens Journal now, you'll receive a copy of the first 25 years of WSJ on CD--searchable, of course. A significant resource.
I was asked to choose three of Wallace Stevens' poems to represent his entire body of work. An impossible--and perhaps irrelevant--task, but I was game. This short essay is the result, published a few months back.
New review to be published soon in Modernism/modernity. Earlier here I posted a draft of the review and got a response from the editors. I enjoyed that exchange.
An attempt at reading "The Man with the Blue Guitar" as if the poem were an occasion for vocal strumming.

The infamous Stevensean disaffection has tended to prohibit definitive legacy, and yet this, in the end, has been productive, forestalling closed arguments among poetics Lefts and Rights, keeping Stevens's work from theoretical alliances until past the point when such would fix its standing in contestations between, for example, theoretical as distinct from historical approaches. To the extent that Stevens can seem anything to anyone, the legacy is of little impact. The many imitations of Stevens's special rhetoric tend to riff on a single poem or idiomatic stance, quick-take attempts at posing in a particular ironic position, one abandoned as quickly as assumed. Among contemporary poets whose own writing contemplates Stevens's overall position, however, a larger pattern does emerge—two Stevenses. First, a meditative Stevens: unagonistic, verbally ruminative, romantic (but called "postromantic"), a repository of human responses, post-Christian yet lyric—a poet whose verse does not make truculent, discordant claims but rather "eke[s] out the mind," forming "the particulars of sounds." Secondly, a languaged Stevens: theoretical, serial, and nonnarrative, metapoetically radical, sometimes satirical (and antinarrative), always obsessive about the state of poetics and insisting on consciousness of the compositional mode as itself a pressure inducing the poem to be composed—a poet whose middle and late seriatic styles befit rather than reject the cyclonic modernist historical modes adopted early and briefly by Eliot, grandly and insistently by Pound, and later by Williams.
As I sat down to compose this note I proimised myself I wouldn't get worked up. Today during some somewhat relevant googling I happened up one of those Term Paper Mill sites. You know the ones. You've been assigned to write about Mercutio's relationship to Romeo and you find on the web that this company will sell you a 5-page paper on said topic. Everyone in academe (on one side of the paper-assigning divide or the other) has pondered this, at least briefly. I always assumed that if one of my students bought a ready-made paper from such an enterprise, I would notice it immediately--either because of the odd and invariably somewhat off-the-point presentation of the argument or because it would be badly argued and poorly written too.But the price. Here's the kicker. Today, looking for a quick e-text of Stevens's poem "Mozart, 1935" (readers of this blog will know that I am somewhat obsessed with this poem)--I was too lazy at the moment to walk to the shelf for my copy of the book--I found a 5-page paper "interpreting" this poem. The cost: $59.75. I was so chagrined that I was very tempted to buy a copy and then...what?....expose? rail against? these people. What's more, the little summary reading of the poem remarkably resembles my own reading of it (in a book and at least two articles, the latter available online). Is it possible that I would have been buying a hack-job remix of my own article on the poem? (Click on the image above and left for a larger view.)I think I would have asked for reimbursement from my university-sponsored research fund for this expense. After all, it would have been research. No?How desperate would a student have to be to use one of these sites? As Stevens says, "Play the present."
From Tim Morris, Wallace Stevens: Poetry and Criticism, p. 173.
Some readers will remember that a few months ago I was asked by George Lensing to chose just three poems by Wallace Stevens I would most urgently commend to others. A crazy task, but I did it (because I like George, for one thing). A short essay about these three poems will soon be published in the Wallace Stevens Journal. Here is a sneak preview.
I wrote the preface to a volume of poems inspired by the life and work of Wallace Stevens, edited by Dennis Barone and James Finnegan. Visiting Wallace has just been published and here is a PDF copy of that preface.
Not long ago I reread John Hollander's short piece on Wallace Stevens for the magazine of the Academy of American Poets. Hollander's Stevens is culturally conservative — a conservator of "our cardinal nobilities," etc. In essayistically surveying the uses of Stevens after 1975 about a year ago, I wrote a few paragraphs in protest against such a view. I won't quote or summarize that protest here, but I will provide a link to a PDF of the Hollander piece.

This app is handy for both first-time grillers and veterans. It can calculate your cook time based on the cut of meat, size, thickness, and how done you want it, it also includes a timer to tell you when to flip and when to take your steaks off the grill. The app has instructions for preparing over 100 different foods, recommended internal temperature guides and resting times. It allows for multiple simultaneous timers, so if everyone is having steaks but there's one person who insists on having a chicken breast...you can time them all. AND---it syncs with your apple watch, so you don't need to keep checking your phone.
The app is only available on iTunes and it isn't free: $2.
Makes 4 1/2 cups
4 fl. oz. heavy cream
28 fl. oz. whole milk
5 1/2 wt. oz. granulated sugar
3 fl. oz. egg yolks
2 vanilla beans, pulverized
1/8 tsp. salt
4 wt. oz. semi-sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
1 Tbsp. espresso
Heat cream, milk, sugar and vanilla beans in a heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Place egg yolks and salt in a separate bowl and whisk briefly. Still whisking, slowly add hot cream mixture into egg yolks using the liaison method. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly. Add chocolate and espresso. Don't let it boil. Strain the mixture, and place in the refrigerator to cool. Fill the machine and freeze. Swirl in brownie batter before serving if serving soft serve. Or fold in brownie batter and place mixture in freezer to harden overnight.
Brownie Batter for Ice Cream
1/4 cup prunes (about 8 prunes)
3/4 cup water
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped (OPTIONAL)
In a small saucepan, combine prunes and water and simmer for 5 minutes, or until prunes are soft; allow to cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt, and stir until combined.
In a blender, puree prunes and simmering liquid with the oil, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until thoroughly incorporated. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, and mix until just combined. If the batter is still dry, add water 1 Tbsp. at a time, just until the batter comes together; too much water may make the batter harden more in the freezer. Mix in the walnuts.

I have mentioned both of these products here before, but not together. Last summer, I purchased the Karma Go portable 4G wifi hotspot to take camping. The hotspot is pay-as-you-go, so there's no plan and no contract. Simply load it with data (about $14 per gig) and use as little or as much as you need. The data never expires.
The Karma Go requires web site authentication to use it, so you must have a web browser, you can't just enter a wifi password. Recently, Roku launched an update for their streaming stick to allow it to talk to wifi hotspots that require this sort of access (click here to read that post).
Last weekend, I moved to a new house and I don't have cable yet. This was a problem for Game 6. My family wanted to watch the Cavs, but we didn't want to go to a bar to do it.
We were able to live stream ESPN through the Karma Go, to the Roku stick and onto our TV...in full, high definition.
The Karma Go costs $119 at YourKarma.com (data not included...get 10Gigs for $100).
*streaming the game at up roughly 1GB of data.
Roku Stick costs $50 in stores or at Roku.com

Each summer I have the pleasure of teaching two middle level courses for USM's Ed Leadership program. EDU617 – Teaching in the Middle Grades is a one week intensive class, with the emphasis on intensive. From Monday through Friday we put our lives and significant others on hold and "own" one another. We are together for class all day, then reading and posting into the night. I have the pleasure of reading and posting into the wee hours of the morning as assignments are posted to the class wiki. Aside from the long days I really do look forward to learning from the exchange of ideas and insights among classmates and colleagues.
I especially enjoy reviewing assignments that ask students to summarize key pieces of learning from our time together. It's always interesting to see what resonated with the class, both individually and as a group. It's also useful to notice what doesn't get mentioned. Summaries tell me, as the instructor, whether or not my curriculum and instruction had the intended results.
Here, with permission from the students of EDU617 – August 2011 is a "mashup", based on placement and frequency of their responses to the prompt "As a result of our time together, What are the top 10 pieces of advice you have for middle level educators?"
Which ones resonate strongly with you? Are there any that don't make sense? What would you want to include in your list of top 10? Do you think this class "got" what working with young adolescents is about?
#10. Technology is cool, use it well.
#9. Build frequent, short breaks into your teaching process.
#8. Be courageous and look closely into the mirror of your own practice often.
#7. Feed the good wolf. We become the wolf we feed.
#6. Do everything with students in mind first, teachers second, administration last.
#5. Middle school students will do anything to you, and anything for you.
#4. Teamwork! None of us is as smart as all of us. No wallflowers or prima donnas.
#3. Descriptive feedback has a greater impact on learning than grades.
#2 Students will learn more from what they see than from what we say.
#1. Mr. T says, "I pity the fool that doesn't Model, Reflect, and Transfer!"

Skip this if you don't want to know about the bikes.
Well I thought a few words on what we have done to the bikes in order to get them ready. Firstly to put you in the picture of the state they were in despite the low readings on the odometer, 13000km.
Plenty of dents in the tanks but that was obvious, front brake calliper leaking fluid, I had a cracked timing chain cover, Dave had a cracked cylinder head while Terry had a gearbox end cover that needed replacement.
I felt the need for a better alternater so fitted the Enduralast permanent magnet type which has a remote mounted rectifier/regulater and so eliminates the diode board within the engine covers. All three of us fitted the Nippon Denso starter as it is lighter, spins faster and weighs less than the originals. We have fitted new batteries and surefoot type sidestands.
By far the most expensive outlay was for the work done by Ernie of " Overland Solutions". this involved getting the bikes to Sheerness and having a complete new rear subframe with Pannier frames and Boxes made to our sizes. Also Engine Protection Bars (crash bars) and headlight racks made for our bikes, then transport the bikes back to home.
The next job was bike insurance, MOT and then register the bikes and getting a number plate sorted.
In November I did the Hippo Rally in Cornwall to get a least one shakedown trip under my belt.
Now playing with extra power sockets, day running lights both front and rear, and to power them safely a "Fuzeblock" which has given me some hassle trying to fit it all.
Doing this and trying to earn some money is a right pain.
Work certainly gets in the way of living!

Jack Dorsey Returning to Twitter as Executive Chairman
Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey will return to the micro-blogging site as executive chairman, the company confirmed Monday.
"Excited that Twitter Chairman @jack will be returning to the company day-to-day leading product as Executive Chairman," Twitter CEO Dick Costolo tweeted earlier today.
Dorsey also confirmed the move on - where else? - his Twitter feed, and said he will continue to head up his other online venture, Square.
"Today I'm thrilled to get back to work at @Twitter leading product as Executive Chairman. And yes: leading @Square forevermore as CEO. #200%," Dorsey tweeted.
Rumors about Dorsey's return to Twitter made headlines last week, when Business Insider said Dorsey would come back as a chief product officer, but Twitter and Dorsey did not confirm until today.
Dorsey co-founded Twitter with Ev Williams and Biz Stone five years ago, and served as chief executive until 2008. At that time, Williams assumed the CEO role while Dorsey served as chairman. Williams later stepped down from that role in October 2010, and Costolo took over.
Twitter recently celebrated its fifth birthday, and Dorsey summarized the company's history in a series of 140-character tweets. Stone also appeared on Conan O'Brien's show, where he was mocked, and thanked, by the host for Twitter's efforts.
In December 2009, Dorsey announced Square, a mobile payment system that enables credit card transactions by phone. The company formally launched for iOS and Android devices in May 2010, allowing street vendors and other users to accept credit-card payments on the go.
Mobile payment systems have been slow to catch on, but there have recently been a variety of stories about the technology as more and more companies examine near-field communication (NFC), including Research in Motion, Google and Apple.

A Great Nudge for a Potential Boss
If a potential employer asks you to "Give me ten good reasons why you should get this job," thanks to the recently passed HIRE Act, you can now give up to 6,621.00 good reasons. That's the size of the tax break a company could gain by hiring you.
The HIRE Act was passed in March to give employers an incentive to add new employees to their payrolls. If they hire an "eligible worker" (someone who has been out of work for at least 60 days) now through the end of this year, they won't have to pay Social Security taxes on the new workers' compensation. This equals about 6.2 percent of the new worker's wages.
There are quite a few small business owners who are not aware of how this works. Why not take the opportunity to inform them? Is there a company you've interviewed with and you haven't heard back from them? Is there a small business you'd like to work for, and you think they might be on the verge of hiring? Why not send them a little nudge like the following:
Greetings ________,
Great news! Did you know that if you hire me before the end of the year, you'll be eligible for a substantial tax break? Since I've been out of work for more than 60 days, the government will pick up my Social Security Tax through the end of the year. And this would apply to both full- and part-time positions.
You also might qualify for a Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) for employers who hire certain disadvantaged workers. In most cases, the credit is 40 percent of the first $6,000 of wages, or $2,400.
There is no limit on the number of workers that create this credit for you.
Then there's the Retained Worker Credit. If you keep my on your payroll for at least 52 consecutive weeks, you could get a credit of either $1,000 or 62 percent of wages paid during the 52-week period (whichever is less). In effect, any new employee who earns more than $16,130 during the 52-week period would entitle you to a full $1,000 tax credit.
I understand that these tax breaks don't offset all the costs of hiring me, but I'm hoping you'll appreciate my resourcefulness in bringing them to your attention. I look forward to chatting with you about some of the other ways I can add to your company's profitability.
All the best,
Now if this seems a bit forward to you, remember, drastic times call for drastic measures. How is being reserved working for you? Besides, I called up several small business owners who were thinking of expanding, and asked them if they were aware of the HIRE Act tax breaks. Every single one of them said they'd heard about them, but didn't know much about them, and asked me to explain it. Why not give it a shot? It couldn't hurt.

What Matters The Most
Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year. I honestly look so forward to it….not for the gifts or the shopping and all of the hoopla. It's a magical time of year for friends, family, and thoughtfulness. This picture above is of our Christmas tree. I could sit and stare at it for hours. Each ornament has a story behind it. Sure, it's cluttered and nothing really matches and there's really no theme at all but it's a sum of places we've been, gifts from family and friends, pictures, even Christmas cards from our loved ones.
As you can see there are gifts under the tree but mostly just for the children in our family…nieces, nephews, and little cousins. It feels as if the older I get the more commercialized Christmas is. My very dear best friend Rhonnie reminded me of that this morning when we were texting each other. The trees are up in stores before Halloween. It's insane how much they push the gift purchasing, commercials, black Friday and so forth.
Isn't Christmas about Jesus being born and spending time with loved ones and cherishing these special moments? Of course, I understand Santa Claus and the children sitting in his lap and so excited for Christmas morning. But, what about reading the true story of Christmas to the children and how we celebrate Jesus being born? What about also telling them the story of Twas The Night Before Christmas? Those are the things I remember most about my childhood Christmas's. Not the dolls, games, candies, etc that I received. It was the moments of reading those stories with my family or chasing my brother around the tree.
This year my mother and I decided we wouldn't exchange gifts. She said it's about our love for each other. She's also had a rough year financially and is having to support my brother…(long story). Anyway, I decided to take my friend Jean's advice on a Thank You letter to my Mom. You can check out her blog about a Christmas Letter To Her Dad here on this link https://wordpress.com/read/post/id/19162911/12396
My Thank You letter will be my gift to her. I'm thanking her for being in labor with me for over 24 hours and giving birth to a 9 lb 10 oz baby girl. The struggle was real for my Mom don't you agree? My Dad wasn't even there to be by her side. Instead he was shooting pool in some shady bar and then later said he "hit a deer" on the way to the hospital. No proof of that or damage on the car by the way. Typical of my Dad. Anyway, the point is that I want my Mom to have a sentimental Christmas gift straight from my heart. I am so blessed for all she did for me and my brother growing up. I want to thank her for that.
The meaning of Christmas to me is counting my blessings, thankfulness of every single thing in my life. Reaching out to family and friends and telling them how much they mean to me. Christmas cards are my joy each year. I absolutely LOVE receiving them. In fact, today I reached out to each person that sent us a card and then sent them an e-mail thanking them for remembering us and how much it meant to us to hear from them.
To me, that's what Christmas is about. I don't want anything for Christmas. I have all I could EVER need. I've informed my hubby DO NOT buy me anything whatsoever. I will be livid if he does. Just having him in my life is my gift.
I hope all of you have a very Merry & Bright Christmas. Remember those that you care about and love and let them know what they mean to you.

A while back, someone contacted me about an item for sale they found on a website. It was an old box and she could tell it had a "lot of stuff" attached to it. She wanted to purchase it for me as she felt it to be quite dangerous to someone unknowing who might buy it.
Before and since that point in time, A dybbuk, as defined by Merriam Webster is:
"a wandering soul believed in Jewish folklore to enter and control a living body until exorcised by a religious rite"
The word dybbuk is Yiddish, so for the purpose of this writing I looked up the definition as it was bound to include a better descriptive, which it did as supplied by the Jewish Virtual Library:
In Jewish folklore and popular belief an evil spirit which enters into a living person, cleaves to his soul, causes mental illness, talks through his mouth, and represents a separate and alien personality is called a dybbuk. The term appears neither in Talmudic literature nor in the Kabbalah, where this phenomenon is always called "evil spirit."
In my world, there is a massive difference between a wandering soul and an evil spirit. I call all "wandering souls" discarnates. Most label them "ghosts", but that term is not as exact as people might think it is and for my degree of Work, I require more exacting language.
Within the category of discarnates exists a sub-category I call Problem Children. These are discarnates/ghosts who have discovered how to attach to a human and suck their energy from them, until they either detach voluntarily or until they are exorcised.
I have encountered so many Problem Children that I have lost count. It is very common to encounter them within the paranormal environment, yet very few people seem to identify, much less rectify, the problem they are.
Do Problem Children generally attach to items? No. In my experience, apart from less than a handful of instances I have encountered over the years, it is strictly the demonic class that attaches to items and there are very specific reasons why this does or does not occur.
First, let's talk about why Problem Children DON'T attach to items.
Problem Children are those individuals who were human and passed on, but refused for whatever reason to not leave the Human Plane. While alive and human their source of energy was abundant and helped sustain their physical form. Now deceased and without a physical form, that external source of energy is now cut off to them. They have no energy coming in – unless they find one.
That is what Problem Children do. They look for people – or animals – to attach themselves to and then they suck the energy out of them for the purpose of sustaining their awareness. If they do not do this, if they don't attach to someone or an animal, they will fairly quickly fall into a vegetative state until something provides enough energy for them to gain awareness again.
Thus, for a ghost, wandering soul, or whatever you want to call it to attach to an object is extremely unlikely as objects do not supply them with the energy they need. Again, I have encountered only a couple of instances where it did happen, but there were specific reasons the discarnate/ghost attached to what it did and I was able to fix the problem within a very short time.
So, let's talk about evil spirits. What is your definition of an evil spirit? Do you call them demons? Do you call them dark entities or detrimental energy beings? I have a myriad of classes and subclasses for detrimental energy beings (DEBs), so for the purpose of this writing we are going to make this as simple as possible.
Do DEBs attach to objects? There is a specific class of DEBs that WILL attach to objects, yes. This particular class of DEBs is what we consider quite high level. Why are they high level? Because of their intelligence and ability to analyze situations and manipulate circumstances to their own advantage. The vast majority of DEBs do not possess these qualities much less use them as a very pointed skill set.
It may or may not thus be comforting to know that DEBs would rather attach to you, the reader, than the doll or statue or stuffed animal or box in your house.
When I was contacted, she sent a link to the item in question. Once I opened the link, I was able to connect with the object and confirm that indeed it was quite the nasty piece of work and that it should not be moved on in the same condition.
So why do demons attach to objects? As we stated above there is a certain sub class of DEB that is intelligent and has the ability to analyze a situation and manipulate circumstances to its' advantage. Some people energetically shield without every knowing that they are doing it. Some are just extremely well protected. In cases like this, this particular demonic is not going to be able to work its' way in as deeply as it would like to, so it scopes the situation and finds something that particular person values, something that is likely to be in that person's presence very regularly – preferable daily and hourly, even – so that it can gradually influence the individual's energy so that it can then affect the individual as it means to.
Are dolls inherently evil? Do we even need to ask that question? According to Hollywood one would think there are massive numbers of objects that exist within the human plane that are evil or have evil things attached to them. In my experience, this is also a rare occurrence. Does it happen? Oh yes, but when you realize that if you KNOW of even 10 items that are possess versus the millions of demons that are attached to people, it really is quite the small number.
The individual's personality and psychic makeup contribute to how that person is likely to be vulnerable to DEBs. The average voodoo doll, for instance, does not possess an evil entity – it is used as a conduit for negative and detrimental energy so it will likely feel very ugly, but its very purpose means that it is unlikely to have any DEB attached.
So, what did I do about the dybbuk box? I cleared it and no, I did not bid on it. I don't feel a need to buy objects that don't interest me, but morally and ethically I cannot allow someone to be hurt by that which they don't understand if I can prevent it. People will make things out to be whatever they want them to be, but for someone ignorant to purchase that because it was "cool" and then to become possessed or someone close to them to become possessed is unconscionable.

|Going south is first a mile on Troupe Rd, the monastery's western border, which is followed by Depot Rd. aka State Rte 531. Two miles south of us gets rural very quickly and small, modest homes dot the road all along the way. Here's a typical one at that point.
|At four miles we take a short break in the homes for the huge Harborcreek exit #35 of I-90. Unfortunately this exit is located right past the highest point on I-90 in Pennsylvania and that means that this area is the scene of numerous serious accidents and road tie ups each winter, as the altitude brings ice, snow, winds and horrible driving conditions to trucks and cars traveling across this short (45+ miles) stretch of this interstate which spans the country. However, in mid-August it is a calm, green and peaceful place.
|Six miles south brings us to true rural scenes. The houses are much farther apart, farms start to appear, and fields and trees are everywhere. Here is what we used to call a Christmas Tree farm. I'm guessing that it might be part of Johnston's Nursery, a large growing facility located another mile down the road. And on the other side of the six-mile marker, above one of the occasional homes, I caught sight of some of the beautiful cloud formations that we have at this time of year. They are greatly appreciated by Erie residents, for you see, we live under a very grey dome in the deep winter months and such blue, blue summer skies are a welcome and most blessed sight!

There is another new site that is perfect for family travel enthusiasts. Ciao Bambino (www.ciaobambino.com) reveiws 'Family Approved Vacation Properties' around the world. Written by Aimee O'Shaughnessy, the site is super informative and makes travel abroad look less intimidating.
The site rates locations with 4 different levels of 'family friendliness': Baby Ready, Toddler Fun, School Age Action, and Cool for Teens. Most properties are upscale or luxury and one of my family's favorites made the list: The Jasper Park Lodge. I can personally attest to the family friendliness of this property because we enjoyed our stay with two toddlers!
Check out the listing on this website for the Ac Palacio Del Retiro in Madrid, Spain. Modern design, in a historic building, with cribs and high chairs available?! I've officially added it to my list of places I need to stay at, but with all that contemporary design (ie. sharp corners) I will need to pack some extra baby proofing supplies. Totally worth it though!

Peijaiset (in dialectal forms peijahaiset, peijaat or peijaajaiset)[1] is a Finnish word that in its modern usage often refers to the celebrations following a successful elk hunt (or the hunting season), but may mean celebrating also other things that have come to an end (figurative references to "pejaiset" over e.g. bankrupt companies occur in newspapers). Traditionally, it referred to burials, but also to other celebrations in some dialects.[2]
Karhunpeijaiset is a celebration after a bear hunt. A bear was never "hunted"; it was merely brought down. A single man could claim to have hunted and killed a bear, but in a community effort, the bear simply died. The ceremony was always a much more elaborate affair than the most influential member of the community would have merited. In eastern Finland it would have copious mourners and wailers, and the people would address the bear as a relative or as the son of a god. Its flesh was not eaten — that would have been cannibalism — or, if it was, an elaborate show was made to symbolically render the meat into that of another animal, e.g. venison. The bear's head was usually mounted on the top of a young tree, or on a pike. Carrion-eaters would then eat it, leaving only the skull, which would then become an object of veneration. A courtyard would also be cleared around the skull. Traditionally, only bears were sanctified thus.[citation needed]
Sometimes the ceremony was held as a sacred marriage rather than a burial. In such cases the bear was either propped up inside a frame or strapped to a cross. With all due ceremony, the chosen bride or groom would symbolically marry the bear.[citation needed]
Nowadays peijaiset usually means the festivities ending a successful hunt or hunting season, usually only for moose and bear.[2] On many occasions these include making a meal of the latest kill for hunters in the evening.[citation needed]
Similar customs have been reported from many other northern people who share their habitat with bears.

As a restaurant owner, one of your tax responsibilities is the correct payment of sales taxes. The purchase of food for eventual resale in your restaurant is a tax-exempt purchase. Your supplier should not charge you sales tax on food used exclusively for resale. Sales taxes will only be due when you eventually sell food to patrons at your restaurant.
Sales Taxes
A sales tax is charged on the sale of tangible personal property, rentals of personal property and the sale of services. The sales tax is calculated by multiplying the sale price by the current state sales tax rate. The sales tax rate varies from state to state across the United States. Municipalities can also charge a sales tax that will be added to your purchase price on top of the state sales tax.
Certain sales are exempt from the payment of sales taxes. Each state lists its own specific exemptions to sales taxes. Charitable and religious organizations receive an exemption from sales taxes for purchases for the organization's use. Prescription medicine and other medical supplies are also exempt from sales taxes. Another major exemption is the purchase of goods for future resale. As long as a good is purchased for future resale without providing any current benefit to the purchaser, it will be exempt from sales taxes.
Sales Tax on Food for Resale
Purchasing food for a restaurant that is used exclusively for resale will be exempt from sales taxes at the time of purchase. Depending on your state, you may be required to present your supplier resale certificate to prove you will be purchasing the food for the sole purpose of resale. Even though the initial food ingredients will be altered by cooking before resale, states consider sales by restaurants a pure resale transaction. You will not need to pay sales taxes on food you purchase for resale.
Collecting Sales Tax on Food
When you sell food to your customers, you will be responsible for collecting sales taxes. You do not pay taxes on the purchase of food because you will be collecting taxes on the final product. It is your responsibility to correctly calculate the amount of sales taxes due by your customers. You must register your restaurant with your state and make payments of sales taxes at least quarterly. If you do not make the required sales tax payments to the state, your business will be charged a penalty based on the estimated unpaid taxes.

NIGHTMARE-INDUCING PRODUCTION, shown to kids in school assemblies to learn them of the dangers of arseing about with dangerous farming equipment. Narrated by a teenager and concerning a group of his mates playing on a farm, who proceed to get killed in the most uncompromising manner imaginable for 9.30 in the morning: one's chopped up in a combine harvester, one drinks some poison, one drives over the cliff in a tractor, and one has his head smashed in by a heavy metal gate post. Beat singing hymns out of Come And Praise, that's for sure.
0 Comments
Its proper title was Apaches, because the kids were playing at cowboys and Indians. This half-hour exercise in nightmare-inducing horror was actually directed by John McKenzie, who later directed Bob Hoskins in the Long Good Friday. One of the old blokes from Monty Python's Crimson Permanent Assurance sketch turns up at the end, as the last dead kid's grandfather.
