While in Seoul, South Korea, I came across one of the most hilarious, yet basic, advertisements I have ever seen on a billboard. After seeing Mister Churros banner ad on his Kiosk, I could help but laugh and take a picture with the intent of sharing this humour with everyone else later. Here is what it read. "LOVE CHURROS! I have a Chinese girlfriend. To marry her as soon as possible, I'm working hard today." I was in stitches.
How had he come to promoting his product with sympathetic humour? What was his advertisement going to say when he married is girlfriend? "LOVE CHURROS! I married a Chinese girl. To have kids with her and keep her happy, I'm working hard today?" What more was going to read after he had kids? "LOVE CHURROS! I had kids with a Chinese wife. To keep her happy and send the kids to school, I'm working hard today?" You can see what I am getting at here but hold your horses because I actually think this advertisement is genius, and here's why:
1. It made me laugh
I connect well with humour and it peaks my interest because the person telling the joke managed to identify with me in understanding what makes me laugh. Naturally what follows is I want to know more, however it didn't end up making me try one of his churros.
2. The person who saw it before me, shared it with me.
While we were both there, I hadn't noticed the ad and probably would have walked right past it. One of my friends however noticed it, found it funny and HAD to share it with me and the rest of our company. Comedy is the most natural strategy to go viral.
3. I took a picture of it, to share later.
While I did mention that I didn't eat any of Mister Churros products, I did take a picture of it to share with my 500+ Facebook friends. Those in turn might react and create some chatter over it, allowing more of their friends in their friends list to see that post. All the while this is happening, Mister Churros web address is plastered all over that picture. Some excellent brand awareness marketing here coming from the offline world to the online world.
4. It is low cost advertising
I don't think this banner cost Mister Churros a bomb to make, in fact most business along that street all had banners so he probably had to make one to stand out or fit in anyway. With this comedy strategy however, he managed to make me remember his banner and desire to capture the moment with my camera. That is special because I didn't do that with any other businesses along that stream and you can be guaranteed that there some businesses there with bigger marketing budgets.
5. He identified his target audience
Now I understand that not everyone will find it funny, and not everyone will identify or buy his products because of his sympathetic marketing strategy. However, he is banking on the fact that there is an age group like mine that enjoys game-fication of everything mundane in the world, including eating, that might just be willing to give his product a try even if it is only once. Multiply that over the days and he just might be alright, even if he doesn't change his product catalogue or even if his product is average at best.
His marketing will do a lot of heavy lifting for him here.
6. Globalisation measures: Translation
Speaking of understanding ones target audience, he translated his banner's message in 3 different languages. This showed me that the man understood the foot traffic that passes through, not only his lane, but his city & country. He didn't want to miss any large group of people in dialect that would see his banner not getting his message. A nice touch there was definitely seeing Chinese as a translation there as he is talking about a Chinese girlfriend after all.
7. Setting up customer engagement
In reality, I doubt Mister Churro will update his banner to say anything different even if he marries his "Chinese girlfriend." Even if someone asks him to account if he has married his girlfriend, he has achieved yet another goal, that is engaging his customer in more than a sale. He has got them in conversation and actually building rapport with him. Now he won't just be another salesman with a product to sell, but one with a story to remember too, no matter what the outcome is. That's genius!
Conclusion: Comedy in Advertising – Lessons from Mister Churros
Mister Churros is my marketing hero, especially considering what he has managed to do within his means. I have seen everything from a small signs to big budget television ads, from Africa, America, Australia to Asia and none are as personal and funny as his. With more and more agencies exploring the potential of comedy in viral advertising, I think Mister Churros is right on the money here.

Maungdaw, Arakan State: Burma's border security force Nasaka arrested seven supporters of the National Democratic Party for Development (NDPD) on November 4, just three days ahead of Burma's first national election in more than 20 years, said a politician from south Maungdaw.
The detained have been identified as Aman Ullah, 40, Ibrahim, 40, Mohmed Ali, 50, and Rafique, 28, all from Aley Than Kyaw village, two from Myint Hlut and one from Du Nyaungpin gyi in Maungdaw Township, and are reportedly still being held at Nasaka Camp 7 in Aley Than Kyaw.
"It is unknown why they were arrested, but they were taken into custody after the deputy director of Nasaka's deputy director visited the area," a village elder said.
"Most of our villagers support the NDPD party and their campaign platform, and they don't support the USDP (Union Solidarity and Development Party), so the government has harassed NDPD supporters
ahead of the election."
He also says, "Mostly villagers support the NDPD party and their program, but people don't support USDP, so the government starts to harass the supporters of NDPD before elections."
The deputy director of Nasaka held a meeting in Aley Than Kyaw on the day of the arrests and told villagers to support the USDP and not to engage in vote rigging during the election, the elder said.
A member of the USDP also said that authorities would be reviewing all villagers after the election to determine which party they supported.

Hi there! Let me look into this for you. I'll meet you over in private message so I can get some additional info.
I'm having the same problem! NONE of the customer service reps claim to know anything about this Promo!! Another Sprint scam!!!!!! 😞
I would like to dig a little deeper into this. Lets jump on over to private message, so I can get some more info.
Hi Sprint Team,
I recently signed up for the Sprint AAA promotion and just received an email that my request was denied. It said only qualified Sprint plans are eligible, but does not specify what plans are eligible. I'm currently under the Sprint Unlimited Basic plan, and have been a Sprint customer for nearly 15 years (since Nextel!). Hoping someone can make this right given my family's long term loyalty to Sprint.
Do you have a Sprint Works discount from your employer added to your account?
I do not have Sprint Works or any other discounts other than the $5/month autopay discount.
Is this your first year with AAA?
No, I have had AAA continuously for over 5 years.
Ok. Let me look at the account to see if I can figure out why it was denied then. I'm going to send you a private message to get your account information.
Did you go to Sprint.com/AAA within 30 days of registering your account for that discount?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Within 30 days of what?
I have been a Sprint customer for nearly 15 years. The FAQ clearly states that existing customers are eligible.
As a current Sprint customer and a AAA member, you can take advantage of this offer by registering at www.sprint.com/AAA.
This offer is not combinable with other Sprint Discount Programs that offer a discount on select regularly priced Sprint monthly data service to employees, students and members of participating companies, universities and organizations. This is not combinable with Sprint Employee Discount Programs, Cut Your Rate Plan in Half or NCC (No Credit Check) Plans and will require a credit check. You must choose between offers.
Once you go to that first link and put in your information you have 30 days to add the membership to your account. But with it sending the email saying that you were denied, that might not have been an option. I'm also seeing the account listed as being a former Sprint employee account, either you personally or you were on an employee of Sprint's account. There is a possibility that may have caused the issue.
Our Community is currently set to Read Only due the pandemic's affect on our staffing .

How Tinnitus Patients Can Benefit From Using Valium
Conventional medicine does not have a cure for tinnitus which is why the main focus of treatment is not necessarily to cure this condition but to make it more manageable as the patient becomes less affected by the condition. Consequently it is generally recommended that tinnitus patients can benefit from various methods to achieve this such as biofeedback, tinnitus retraining therapy, hypnosis as well as the use of certain drug such as diazepam (Valium).
Tinnitus' effects
Dealing with tinnitus is one thing but the problem is that in addition to the annoying sounds, long time sufferers can start to deal with other psychological effects from having the condition such as stress, anxiety, depression, etc, which can make an already bad situation worse.
Many tinnitus sufferers also report having trouble sleeping because it seems that as the night gets quieter, the sounds seem to get louder preventing sleep or being able to sleep adequately. This results in other problems from sleep deprivation such as irritability, trouble concentrating, poor productivity at work, etc.
This is why certain drugs such as Valium, Xanax, etc, may help to reduce the psychological impact of tinnitus which may lead to some improvement in the areas of your life that have been adversely affected by tinnitus which is why some doctors may feel that tinnitus patients can benefit from Valium. Valium has tranquilizing effects which can also help with sleep.
But taking these drugs is not without problems. One being that once you stop taking these medications, all your issues will return. The other issue is that these drugs are habit forming which is something else that tinnitus sufferers deal because many end up developing an addition to drugs such as Xanax and Valium or an addiction to alcohol to help them deal with the tinnitus. Which means that what was meant to help has now created another problem on top of other problems.
Although tinnitus patients can benefit from Valium and similar drugs, they are only to be used for the short term but if they help, it can be difficult to stop using them.
These drugs with their tranquilizing effects help to take your mind off tinnitus which in many cases is what is all that is needed so that you can go about your life in a productive manner with tinnitus merely in the background and not on center stage. These drugs will desensitize you to tinnitus but they will not cure this condition which is why when you stop taking them, tinnitus and all the other issues return to center stage.
About 5 mg of Valium taken by tinnitus sufferers has been proven to help decrease the awareness of the sounds of tinnitus so you can see why tinnitus sufferers can benefit from using Valium.
But it is important to remember that since Valium is not FDA approved for treating tinnitus, doctors will be hesitant to prescribe it to you unless you are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression which is what Valium is intended for and what many tinnitus sufferers deal with. So while you will not get a prescription for tinnitus, you may get a prescription for the stress, anxiety or depression that you may have developed because of tinnitus.
But as mentioned, using these pharmaceuticals may create more problems than you can handle which is why you should know that there are herbal alternatives for dealing with stress, anxiety and depression caused by tinnitus. These herbal remedies are inexpensive and not habit forming and some of them such as bacopa have been found to be just as effective as Valium.
This is some information on why some tinnitus patients can benefit from using Valium but since some of the problems it can cause far outweigh the benefits, you are better off turning to natural methods such as those documented in the Tinnitus Miracle guide. This holistic guide has helped bring much needed peace while addressing the source of the sounds. Do you need some peace in your life free from these annoying and sometimes debilitating sounds? Discover how this holistic guide can help you achieve this here.

You never know who'll be in your corner. Help can come from surprising sources. To celebrate the gorgeous new print cover, I'm sharing a scene from Grading on Curves.
When Curt spotted Casey in the science wing on Monday, he beckoned to him.
"I'll catch up," Casey told his friends.
The kid ambled over and Curt forced a casual smile. "How's the arm?"
"Fine, I guess." Casey gave him a curious look.
"That's good."
"What's up?"
"Um, can we step in here for a second?" Curt tipped his head toward his empty classroom.
Casey glanced at the clock in the hall and hesitated. "I don't know."
"I'll give you a pass to your next class, if you need one," he offered, understanding perfectly.
They walked in and Curt dropped his voice discreetly. "How's your mom?"
Casey's eyebrows shifted north by a quarter inch. "My mom?"
"Fine," he answered slowly. "You could call her."
"I'd like to, only—" Feeling even more awkward all of a sudden, Curt rubbed the back of his head and admitted, "I don't have her number and you guys aren't listed in the phone book."
Casey snorted, flipped open his notebook, and gave the end of his mechanical pencil a click. He scribbled away then tore off the sheet and handed it to him. "I put her work number on there too, just in case."
They both laughed at how weird this was.
"Thanks. Do you need that pass?" Curt asked him.
Casey looked at the clock. "I think I'll make it."
"If you have any problems, tell your teacher to talk to me."
"Don't worry, you'll get the blame."
Curt grinned and waved the paper in his hand. "Thanks again."
"No problem." Casey chuckled and took off running.

Using the internet has become second nature. We expect access 24/7, in our homes, while we travel, in our cars and in the air. Without the ability to text, snap, post, map, check in, or log in we feel lost. We now shop, do our banking, manage our credit cards, and connect via social media while at home and on the go. With this constant connectivity, we as consumers need to be sure we keep our personal data private and secure. Identities are stolen, data hacked, servers compromised, and passwords are stolen almost every minute of the day. In fact, reports of these events are becoming commonplace on the nightly news. As we live more of our life online, what can, and should we be doing to keep our information safe?
Below are 5 tips I have shared with others to keep you and your data safe online.
Tip #1 – Use Strong Passwords
Strong passwords are the cornerstone to online security. Be sure to choose different passwords for each of your accounts, and when prompted to change passwords, do not reuse them.
Never share passwords to your accounts with friends or family.
Tip #2 – Beware of Email Links and Attachments
Beware of email attachments and links asking for your password. These are most always attempts to get your personal information. If the email looks legitimate, go to the website that is shows it came from, and log in from there. Never click the links in the email, unless you asked specifically to reset your password.
Tip #3 – Keep Your Software Up To Date
Apple and Microsoft post updates for a reason, and it often has something to do with security flaws that were found. Make the updates part of your security routine. By doing them, you will be patching security holes that Apple and Microsoft know about, and are providing fixes for.
Tip #4 – Back Up Your Data
Make regular backups of your data using an external drive or a cloud service. This goes for computers, phones, and tablet devices. If any of your devices are affected by something that lock you out of your files, you can reformat the device, reinstall the operating system, and restore your data from a backup.
Tip #5 – Two Factor Authentication
Turn on Two Factor Authentication on all important online accounts that offer it. Accounts to look at include email, financial, social media and online shopping. Two Factor Authentication is used to verify that the person logging in to the account is indeed you. Once this is set up, when you log in to your account, you will need to provide a secondary piece of information to complete authentication. Often times, this is a code that is sent via text to your mobile phone.

A Simple Plan: Entertainment
The Ingredients Of Thrillers
Thriller is a comprehensive kind of film, television, and writing. Thrillers are distinguished and also defined by moods they trigger; they give the audience heightened feelings of suspense, excitement, surprise, and anxiety. Thrillers makes the viewers have tension especially as the story builds to the end. The cover-up of significant information from the audience is a general element. Some devices such as red herrings, plot twists, and cliffhangers are utilized extensively. It has a plot that is villain-driven whereby the villain gives some obstacles that the actors cannot overcome. in most thrillers, the innocent victim become the winner at the end of the story. The the audience are on the main character side and fewer cases on the villain side. An example is in the Anglo-Saxon movie where the evil gets the punishment, and the innocent gets the girl.
Thrillers provide a suspenseful excitement to the audience. Suspense is an important aspect in the thrillers. It gives the audience a pleasurable fascination and mixed excitement and anticipation. It also involves a lot of tension to the audience and they feel powerless to intervene and change the situation.
Thrillers are connected with hope that the plot will change in the end. The hope is that condition will change to be fine and that the judgment will be passed and the guilty charged. The second type of suspense is whereby the viewers are aware of what is going to happen, but they still are thrilled.
Most themes in thrillers is ransoms, captivities, attack and kidnappings. The popular in the secrecy thriller is the investigative and whodunit methods. There are also horrors that involve serial killers, stalkers, and death traps. The characters who are involved may include assassins, innocent victims, agents and cops among others.
The setting of the thrillers has an n atmosphere of violence. The tension becomes severe when the innocent character is exposed to dangerous situations. The movies are mostly acted in the cities and most cases at night. The people could also act in alienated places like the deserts. The ordinary people sympathize against the villains who are motivated to destroy them, the country or their loved ones. The Main characters handle dangerous missions when they are being timed.
An author who is interested in writing a thrilling story should ensure that the story have some essentials. one essential is that you should have a perfect story. You need to have a story that will have a good start and also a good ending. It should not bring confusing ideas to the viewers.
You should be able to have several points of view. This will allow yow you to get into the mind of the viewers. This can build more dramatic tension and irony. You can also make the main characters more miserable so as to cause grief and heartaches.

{all images on my Pinterest board: obsessing over...}
It's the week leading up to Easter, so my mind is overtaken with pretty pastels, muted color palates, and what color-block situation to mix up on my nails next! Oh decisions, decisions. But one thing that won't change for a while is my affinity for buttoned up tops. So, I created a board on Pinterest, as an ode to this classic trend.

Tell me about your weekend!! Did you see Hunger Games? What did you think? What was in your mailbox this week??
Great books! I loved Daimon.
Your Hunger Games review is so funny. I love your enthusiasm! I haven't seen it yet, maybe tomorrow...
Yes I saw the movie! It was good! They did shorten important scenes but I thought everyting was handled pretty well. I went with two friends that hadn't read the book so I did have to expand on Katniss and Peeta's relationship, about the pin, and about the reaping and why Prim had her name in once and Gale had his in 42 times. But overall I loved it. So awesome you got Masque of Red Death! Can't wait to read it. I also want A Temptation of Angels. Great haul and happy reading!

Hunger Games was pretty amazing! I wrote a review for it too, and I had a lot of the same thoughts. I love that picture of all the tributes!!
Great mailbox haul! Masque and Temptation look great, and hopefully I'll get around to Daimon and Half-Blood very soon, I've heard such awesome things about them!
Aaah, I hope you enjoy your books! Aaah, Hunger Games! That scene where Katniss did the three finger thingy - my heart swelled up! I was like, "Merrrp! *TEAR TEAR*" And was it just me or was Kato totally TEH SEXXX?! Personally, i think it's Gale, Kato, AND THEN Peeta - but that's just me, bwahahaha!
And yesssss, Effie was freakin' awesome! I didn't like her in the books because she was just flat out weird but man, she really grew on me in the movie! She was probably one of my most favorite character! LOL :)
Happy reading, Tara!
Seriously, you are making me want to go and watch the hunger games all over again! I was blown away too - it was So much better than I thought it would be. :D
Great IMM, too! I can't wait to read Masque of the Red Death myself. It sounds awesome! :D

A joint is an area where two bones come together and joint damage is one of the most common complications of hemophilia. That's because people with hemophilia can bleed into a joint space after an injury or even without a specific cause. The blood filling into the joint cavity can exert pressure and lead to severe pain, swelling and even deformities. In most cases, the joints typically affected are the elbows, ankles and knees.
Joint damage in people with a hemophilia is similar to joint damage of a person with arthritis. The damage occurs in the synovium, a lining that lubricates and feeds the joint, and the cartilage around the bones.
The synovium has blood vessels in it and this explains why bleeding into the joints is common in people with a bleeding disorders. One of the synovium's functions is to remove fluid from joints so when blood enters the joint, cavity, the synovium absorbs it. Boood has iron in it, and it is believed that the absorption of the iron in blood stimulates the growth of the synovium, causing it to thicken and increase its number of blood vessels. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of bleeding into the joint.
One of methods used to treat joint damage is called a synovectomy.
A synovectomy is the removal of the synovium and it stops the bleeding cycle caused by the thick synovium. There are three types of synovectomies used to alleviate pain and improve function of the joint: radioactive, arthroscopic and open.

Ben and Marian Rolfe are desperate to escape a stifling summer in their tiny Brooklyn apartment, so when they get the chance to rent a mansion in upstate New York for the entire summer for only $900, it's an offer that's too good to refuse. There's only one catch: behind a strange and intricately carved door in a distant wing of the house lives elderly Mrs. Allardyce, and the Rolfes will be responsible for preparing her meals.
But Mrs. Allardyce never seems to emerge from her room, and it soon becomes clear that something weird and terrifying is happening in the house. As the suspense builds towards a revelation of what really lies behind that locked door, the Rolfes will discover that their cheap vacation rental comes at a terrible cost...
The basis for a classic 1976 film adaptation and an acknowledged influence on Stephen King's The Shining, Burnt Offerings is one of the most original and scariest haunted house novels ever written. This edition, the first in decades, features a new introduction by award-winning author Stephen Graham Jones.
I read Burnt Offerings as part of the 2016 Horror Reading Challenge July Read-a-long. It took me a while to get into it, because I found it difficult to connect with the characters. Once the story got underway, though, I found it an easier read. Just not a satisfactory one. Maybe that's why I have no memory of seeing the film adaptation as a kid. Nothing about this book is memorable.
Burnt Offerings tells the story of Ben and Marian Rolfe. They long to get away from the bustling summer in New York City, and look for a place to spend their summer. When they stumble upon an ad in the paper advertising a rental for a steal, they decide they can't pass it up. Instead of their dream summer, they discover they've entered a nightmare. Written in a classic horror style, Burnt Offerings, should have been a wonderful horror story. Sadly, it didn't. The characters, various plot holes, lack of real horror, and a confusing ending plagued this story.
The characters were very one-dimensional. Ben was a haggard school teacher, Marian an immature housewife, their son (thrown in for good measure), and an elderly aunt make up the main cast. Throw in the eccentric homeowners, and the plot became very predictable. As the weird things began to happen, I never cared if anyone got hurt, because Marasco never got me to care about them to begin with. All Ben did was ridicule his wife, while she became obsessed with the home. The son was basically nonexistent. He just came around to break or create tension it seemed. As for the aunt, she seemed like an interesting character, but never did anything of real importance.
At the heart of the story is the house. There was obviously something wrong with the house, but the elderly matron who lived in the west wing seemed to be the biggest mystery. The Rolfes were given the house for only $900 the entire summer as long as they provided three meals a day for the matriarch of the crazy brother and sister who let the place. However, instead of poltergeist, rooms of blood, or other creepy things this house just repaired itself. Scary indeed!
What irked me the most were the plot holes. The son sees the vision of a bloody tricycle that never makes another appearance. The Rolfes see a creepy, old shack they mistakenly assume is the rental, and never think of it again. There's a pair of eyeglasses found in the pool that look as if the wearer met some awful fate while wearing them, yet… you guessed it, this line is dropped as well. Then there's the limousine driver Ben is frightened of. Why? I don't know. Black cars with drivers are scary I guess. Not important. Marasco just kept bringing it up. Maybe because I've ridden in black cars and limos before, but the idea of them don't scare me. Then there's the ending. I think I've figured it out, but who knows? I could be wrong. After reading this "chilling" horror yarn, Marasco leaves readers with an extremely bizarre ending that does nothing to really wrap the story up. In fact, I kept checking my kindle to see if I missed a page. If you're looking for a good horror story, this isn't it. Pass! Hard pass!

OKLAHOMA CITY – This afternoon, EMSA is issuing the first Heat Alert of the summer for the Oklahoma City metro.
Officials say by 3:30 pm today, paramedics responded to six (6) separate emergencies due to the heat.
Patients called 911 complaining of dizziness, dehydration, fatigue, and nausea.
EMSA issues a Heat Alert when paramedics respond to five or more heat-related illness calls in a 24-hour period.
Patients affected by the heat today range in age from 50-80 years old.
EMSA is urging citizens to plan ahead before going outdoors.
Take appropriate amounts of water or other fluids with you, even if just planning for a short amount of outdoor time. Emergencies can happen and you could be stranded outdoors longer than expected. Always have a cell phone with you to call 911, if needed.
Tips for staying healthy in the heat:
- PRE-HYDRATION is key to preventing heat-related illness. Drink plenty of water or electrolyte replacement drinks several hours prior to and during long exposure to the summer heat.
- Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat if working outdoors and take plenty of shade breaks.
- No alcohol or caffeine.
- If you do not have air conditioning, find a cooling station or public space (such as libraries or malls) during the day.
- Also, don't limit your air conditioning.
- Use the buddy system if working outdoors and check on elderly neighbors.
- Keep a cell phone on you at all times when outdoors, including walking, running daily errands, yard work or sports and physical activity.
The OKC Heat Alert will remain in effect until the temperatures drop significantly.

Robins in a Blizzard??? Changing Seasons Give-away!!
The first report came in last week…my girlfriend who lives about 2 miles away – as the crow flys – said that she saw some robins in her back yard. This was just before the blizzard hit. I thought "No way, she must be mistaken."
Yesterday we were driving through a nearby town and turned a corner to find 10-20 Robins!!!! I was shocked. Each year one of my absolute favorite spring time activities is watching for the Robins to arrive. In my mind, the arrival of a Robin has always been correlated with spring. I was so pumped!!
As I was ready a post on Facebook a friend said she had seen 50 that morning. Well, this prompted an extensive conversation from numerous people who had also been seeing robins. The earliest was around Christmas! With all of the talk about climate change and the planet growing warmer every year, the Robin sightings have prompted me to be a bit concerned.
So what gives? Has the cold streak in the south chased them back up north? I'll be very interested to hear more about these sightings and the reasoning behind a spring event that's occurring during winter. It just doesn't make sense…I must research, research and research even more as I get to the bottom of this unusual behavior.
Speaking of spring…Don't miss out on a fantastic Changing of Seasons give-away over at The Beginner Farmer's Wife. While you are there read about their journey which involves naturally raised heritage meats and true free-range poultry.
Watch soon for a post on my blog which will discuss true free-range poultry.
Welcome to the week-end!!
Conquering my fear of heights…one bolt at a time.
I spent a good portion of my childhood climbing, sitting, playing & making forts in trees. My favorite tree, a Red Maple located in the corner of my mom's yard, has since had its bottom branches trimmed off but there was one branch that doubled as a trapeze bar. We would hang upside down on it and it was our main access to the top. As I grew older, I could often be found out in the woods building forts on, under & on top of old fallen trees.
In college I lived with many athletes since my dorm was located just next to all of our sports complexes. At the beginning of my sophomore year, the day after Labor Day to be exact, I was 'recruited' to try out the university's circus. Let me clarify…I wasn't trying out for it, I was trying it out. I hung on the trapeze, acted like an acrobat on the mats and then was asked if I'd like to try the high wire. I was very uneasy about doing it but gave it a try. The first time I didn't get very far, got back up & tried it again. The second time I again fell, the fall was simultaneously followed by cracking and then a trip to the hospital. I broke my foot in 4 places.
Can you say OUCH!!!
With that said I think I have reason to be scared of heights. For years I'd have nightmares about it and missed out on a lot of things. In more recent years I've attempted to work towards overcoming my fear. I've successfully sat in my tree stand – granted they lowered it 5 feet for me. I've taken my kids to the 'big' slide which is HUGE. I've even gone on the farris wheel, once.
It was during this past Labor Day weekend that I made the most progress yet. We are beginning to prepare for the winter and added a new shed to our operation to store supplies. It's just like our first shed…which is still unpainted. Getting it built is like similar to a puzzle. You have to put each piece in just right before you can tighten all of the bolts. And, it's a two-man job. With my hubby's 'main man' – my brother-in-law at home with a newborn, I had to be the wingman. I wasn't sure which would be worse. Being on the top of the roof or standing on top of a ladder, holding the bolts while they are drilled in from the other side. GULP, I choose the drilling job from the roof.
I'm proud to say that I completed the job & we now have a completed shed where we have started storing our hay and feed. And, I did it! Me, Moi! Now we just have to keep one pesky little hen out of it so she stops laying her eggs in there. Another project for this weekend…installing a new door.
Tomorrow Willis & I head to our first Fishing Derby of the year. Last year he walked away with a trophy for the largest fish caught. He's chomping at the bit for a second win. I'll keep you updated!
The Great Grain Truck Incident of 2010
We are on a roll! Literally! Harvest is in full swing around Illinois. Despite a minor break down this evening, my father-in-law anticipates being done with corn tomorrow. He was one of the first to start in our area. Since my husband's uncle retired, Paw-Paw has had an extra hand. Prior to that my hubby would always drive the combine while Paw-Paw or Granny drove the grain trucks to town.
We've also been on a roll when it comes to major incidents. Two years ago, my hubby's cousin was driving the combine. He likes to drive and dump at the same time. Not my cup of tea, but I'm not in charge. Well, as he motioned Granny down with her grain truck he stopped and changed his mind…this led to a change in approach…which led to the combine backing up…which led to Granny needing to get out of the way. The whole concept would have worked dandy. If only his cousin knew that the grain truck had died and Granny was struggling with getting it re-started. CRUNCH!! He ran over the front end of the truck. Luckily no one was hurt but the grain truck. That was the Great Grain Truck Incident of 2008.
Then there was last year. It was a record year. There were several people in our area who never even harvested until spring. The rain was awful. Instead of planting in mid-April, we had a monsoon season which set back planting to the first week of Jun. Even so, he had fantastic yields! Except in one of the fields. My hubby's uncle was driving the combine and hadn't noticed the smoke coming from below. That was the least of his problems. It was the fire that was dropping from below that had everyone's attention. For an entire round he was dropping corn stocks which had caught on fire. Put two and two together and you have an 80 acre field a blaze. The fire department was called and they were able to successfully put out the fire in the field and the fire under the combine. Had there not been so much rain, the damage to the combine would have been much worse. So there you have the Great Combine Incident of 2009.
It's a new year, a new decade! The pressure was on to top 2008 & 2009's incidents. I won't forget the moment I received the text from my brother-n-law. At first I was confused and couldn't make sense of what I was seeing. The scenery looked familiar but I just couldn't place the location of the picture. I called him for an explanation. As my father-n-law approached town he goes down a slight slope which continues ever so gently until you reach the stop sign. It was at the slope he realized he had a problem. There were no brakes. Luckily, the stop sign was a 'T.' Unfortunately, there was a house, telephone poles, chain linked fence, phone box, a car and a gravel driveway. He was able to manuver between the telephone pole and car.
Just missed the phone box and landed in the gravel and eventually into the chain linked fence. Did I mention he was fully loaded and on his way to the elevator? See the corn falling?
He's thanking his lucky stars for that gravel. The truck sunk in almost 3 feet. The semi-tractor tow truck even had difficulty getting it out. I'm very thankful he wasn't hurt but even more thankful that one of the kids was riding with him. Before the elevator closed my brother was able to drive over and fix the brake. The rest of the load arrived safe & sound at the elevator. It just needs a new headlight. And, the homeowners need a new fence.
So, THAT was the Great Grain Truck incident of 2010. I wonder what will happen next year? Oh, and by the way, it was the same grain truck which was run over in 2008. Poor thing, just can't get a 'break'!
The end.
Our First Heat Related Fatality
Like much of the country, we've been under a heat advisory off and on for several weeks. Yesterday, the heat index topped out at 108. Around noon I drove the mower down to the sheds to check on water levels. The chickens are panting and walking around with their wings open but everyone was alive and well. I went around the fence checking for weeds that might be grounding out the electric fence. I stopped once and pulled a few then headed to the house. Just in that short amount of time, without any physical exertion, my clothes could have be wrung out and the sweat poured into a tall glass.
When I went down in the evening I started as usual by first feeding the steers their milk buckets. While they slurp their supper I walk fast to get their feed ready. As I started to get the feed out I noticed one of the chickens laying in front of the nesting boxes. When it's hot they tend to dig themselves a little hole in the ground and sit with their breasts in the dirt in an effort to to cool off – although in front of the boxes was an unusual place. Without a clear view I was uncertain of what was going on and had a bad feeling about things. At that point, with all the milk devoured, the calves were attacking me. I got them under control so I could enter the chicken side of the shed. Instead of laying breast down the chicken was on it's side and dead. I picked it up and managed to get myself out of the pen before being mugged. It was one of my hubby's grandma's birds so it was probably fairly old. I'm just glad it wasn't a young one!
I brought it out of the shed and started to walk out of the pen when Willis saw it. Here was the conversation…
Willis: What are you doing with that chicken mom?
Me: Well, honey, it died so I need to get it out of the shed.
Willis exclaims with joy: Oh, good, can we eat it now??
Such a sensitive child…NOT.
Try to stay cool where ever you all are located & drink plenty of water!
Boys and mud
These are two words that go hand in hand around The Magic FarmHouse. If there's mud, my boys will find it. Especially Willis. When he was just about two we caught him preparing to eat an earthworm. Ick! Although he didn't try to eat a worm, the other day he did find some mud. It started out as a trip to the shed to show the new calf to their cousins.
Here's a pic of the new calf. He looks really cute but don't let that fool you. Although he is a bucket calf and has been weaned from the bottle, he has a strong desire to suck (not unusual). Entering the pen without jeans is not recommended. The boys have started calling him Coo-Coo Brains.
Anyway, after introducing Coo-Coo Brains the boys wanted to chase the ducks up to the pool for a little swim. This is where the mud comes into today's story. We got the ducks to the pool and Willis I guess became bored and decided to entertain himself.
This was only the beginning and due to a commitment to my baby I was unable to catch anymore shots of the Mud Fest. I was able to snap a portion of the cleanup.
Clothes off at the door boy!
Wow! Stop the lawn mower! REALLY!
Who knew we were all sitting on herbal goldmines!?! I sat down to read my newest copy of 'Turkey Country' the NWTF's (National Wild Turkey Federation) member magazine and came across an article that blew my socks off. It talked about a plant that many pay big dollars to eradicate from their lawns. Being frugal and cheap we at The MagicFarmHouse just mow them over and pray they never return. Until now.
I gasped as I read all of the common ailments it may cure or relieve…
- Reduces hypertension
- Cures anemia (I'm chronically anemic)
- Improves night vision
- Acts as a mild diuretic
- Improves liver and gallbladder function
- Detoxifies the body
- Mitigate mild constipation and other digestive issues (as a Crohn's/Ulcerative colitis and IBS sufferer my colon was kicking me in the butt)
- Clears skin problems including acne, eczema, warts, fungal infections and psoriasis
- Eases arthritis
- Stabilizes mood (I could use that all the time!)
What is this plant? DANDELIONS! I know I still can't believe it. The author Lisa Densmore explains in the article that "It turns out the weed I tried in vain to eradicate is a nutritious herb, valued in Europe and the sub-Indian continent for myriad medicinal uses." Who knew? Here's one of the recipes they included with the article. Unfortunately, since all of our dandelions are gone now (they usually dominate during the early spring), I haven't had an opportunity to make any of their recipes. I can't wait to try them though!
Dandelion Blossom Cake
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup dandelion petals
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped (we will exclude this since we have a son with nut allergies)
- 1/2 cup dried sweetened coconut (same as with the pecans)
Happy dandelion hunting!
I've added Miss Terry and Miss Lona to our starting line-up. They are both great looking heifers and it's a lot of fun watching them.
They are like a couple of kids as they run through the pasture.
This also helps with the 'mowing'. Mr. Sampson and Dahalia were having a little trouble keeping up with all of the rain we've received in the past month.

Have you ever felt like you are running straight into a wall? Parents who encounter a child who does not seem to listen often feel like they have done just that. The following article will provide advice and information on the best ways to parent your child.
Always consider what verbal and nonverbal messages you are giving your child. Children respect honesty and will be more apt to trust you.
If you have kids living in your home, you should never smoke inside the dwelling. Actually, consider quitting altogether. The effects of secondhand smoke are as bad as smoking itself. Breathing second-hand smoke in childhood is linked to a variety of respiratory conditions, such as asthma and bronchitis.
A mesh teether can work wonders; if your children are having trouble cutting their teeth you can put cucumbers, carrots or pickles in one of these to help. There are many items your child could chew on like a teething ring, but a tasty item is much more likely to be gnawed upon. As he does this, he will feel better regarding his teeth.
When you add children to the family, make sure that you put looking after you towards the top of the list. Take some time off for yourself, even if you have a lot of things to do. Not only will your mood improve, but your kids will appreciate it, too.
If you are going to take your children on a long road trip, stop as often as you can to keep them from getting too cranky. It may be tempting to get to your target destination quickly, but going at a leisurely pace will keep the fussing from the children to a minimum. Stop at parks, restaurants with play areas, or open grassy areas to let your children run off excess energy during the trip.
You have a great responsibility as a parent. As you apply our advice to your life, you can enjoy that responsibility much more. Being A Parent is a big job that can be incredibly satisfying as you watch your offspring blossom into a great individual.

At a friend's house this evening, Grace discovered that she likes Chex Mix.
I've never been a fan, so she didn't have to worry about me nibbling from her bowl.
I wonder if that was part of its charm.
At any rate, I poured Grace a bowl of Chex Mix (the premade kind, in a bag), and she immediately picked out all of the Chex and left the pretzels and crackers behind. My like these little crunchy things, Momma. I told her that they're a kind of cereal, and that you can eat with milk or as a snack. Can my have more of the little crunchy things? Have you ever tried explaining Why not? to a 2-1/2-year-old who wants you to pick the cereal bits out of a friend's bag of Chex Mix? It doesn't compute. My want more little crunchy things. She was begging for a healthy food. No sugar involved. How often does that happen? When we got home, I looked up the recipe for Chex Mix, tweaked it, and I gave Joe a shopping list.
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 5 1/2 cups Chex cereal use any combination of flavors
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts
- In a large bowl, microwave butter for 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in cereal and nuts until evenly coated.
- Microwave uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes, thoroughly stirring every 4 to 5 minutes.
- Spread on paper towels to cool, about 5 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container.
This makes 12 half-cup servings, so each serving contains only 3/4 of a teaspoon of butter. When you add in the Chex cereal and the nuts, I'd say it's a pretty healthy snack option.
If you want to read the original Chex Mix recipe, you can visit General Mills' website.

10 Original College Research Paper Topic Ideas To Use
Writing a successful college research paper will depend on how well you are able to find a good topic to choose from. It is always a good idea to make sure that you at least get to find a good topic, research on it and then write a good paper from there. It is only through conducting some good research that you will be able to write a very good paper in the long run. For those who are still not aware, getting into college means that you will be writing a lot of research papers, and the easier you are able to do this the better it will be for you.
Sadly since not all the topics that you want will be easier to write, you have to be very careful when you are choosing that which you intend to write on, and from there on craft a good proposal from the same. The first thing that you need to do is to come up with a good subject, one that is broad, and from there you can narrow it down as you break into it. The following are some simple research paper topics that you can choose to use.
For a business paper, you can think of anything form cyber security, ecommerce all the way to crowdsourcing
Crime and lawYou can build a good paper based on capital punishment, campus violence, sexual harassment and the Three Strikes Law
Drugs and substance abuse
Think in terms of doping especially in sports, the use of marijuana and drug testing
EducationGive your opinion on diploma mills, literacy classes, plagiarism, sex education and so forth
Environmental research
Acid rain, marine pollution, radioactive waste disposal and nuclear energy will generally form very good topics that you can write on in this section
Family issues
There are so many topics that you can find in this category, from domestic violence to divorce family relationships and family values
Health concerns
Weight loss and cosmetic surgery are some of the common concepts that you can use to write a good paper
Media and communications
Thing about contemporary issues such as children programming and advertising, and the effects thereof
Political issues
Some of the common topics that you can write on include affirmative action, budget deficits and immigration
Here you can write on anything from child abuse to criminal psychology

It was hard for me to shift (get it?) into this trend because shapeless dresses don't always flatter my specific body type. When I found this particular shift dress, the pattern appealed to me but I still wasn't fully sold until I put it on. I love that it isn't so stiff and moves with me (and the wind). The neckline is different and flattering for a bigger chest as it provides depth. Extra shape and flare are provided by the longer cut in the back. The color simplicity of black and white mixed with several abstract, geometric patterns make this dress very versatile (and FUN!). I have worn it to work, to both daytime and evening events, and I would even wear it to a dressy-casual summer wedding. I loved pairing this dress with a bright coral Hobo Bag to make it pop and incorporate a spring-time feel.{Shift Dress, Hobo Bag (smaller version here), Cole Haan Pumps, Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in Party Starter}

Last Friday, we took a wonderful little day trip down to Santa Barbara by way of the Amtrak Surfliner. It was semi-spontaneous, a lot of fun, romantic and a well-rounded, perfect Santa Barbara day. We shopped, ate, sipped on wine at outside cafés, walked around and shopped some more. Continue reading

Happy Easter friends and family! Growing up, Easter always yielded fond memories from sneaking first peaks of any visible eggs I could see out the windows to hopefully one-up my brother in the much-anticipated hunt to wearing pretty, pink, flowery outfits put together by my mother. I always loved our day of traditional breakfast, Easter egg hunts, Easter basket goodness, and being together enjoying Spring. Continue reading

Genetically modified foods can't be found in UK supermarkets as they have not entered the food chain here because of consumer resistance. But if GM food was ever marketed in the UK, it would have to be labelled as such.
So what exactly is GM food and how would it have to be labelled?
GM foods are defined in EU legislation as
'food containing, consisting of or produced from a genetically modified organism (GMO)'.
This includes not only any crops that have been genetically modified, but also all of the ingredients and foods produced from GM crops.
According to EU regulations agreed in 2004, any product derived from a genetically modified organism must be labelled as GM, even if no traces of GM material remain. Maize starch made from GM maize contains traces of GM material. In contrast, maize oil made from GM maize is so highly processed that no traces of GM material remain. Nevertheless, both products would have to be labelled as GM – subject to a labelling threshold of 0.9% to allow for contamination during cultivation, harvesting, transportation and processing as long as the contamination was accidental.
GM foods are controversial for two main reasons.
First, there is the worry that the genetic modification could also introduce unwanted traits to the organism as well as the desired ones, creating a health risk. All GM food has a rigourous safety assessment before it can be sold in the EU. This includes checks for any changes in its allergenic potential and nutritional profile, and is carried out by the European Food Safety Authority, EFSA.
The second big concern is the risk of crops becoming cross-contaminated. Fields where GM crops are grown have to sit within a 'quarantine' zone where non-GM strains of the same crop cannot be grown, to prevent contamination with the GM strain. However, this is difficult to control, and some cross-contamination would be inevitable if GM crops were ever grown on a large scale in Europe. While this would be a problem for organic farmers, it is debatable whether there would be any real risk for consumers.
