Bought one of your Steamship Ham Roasts that is, by far, the best ham I have ever tasted. Just perfect and I will do it again. We loved it and with things running out at the stores due to "stay at home" rules we didn't have the number of guests we were expecting so we still have left overs for future yummy meals.

Best Ever Holiday Ham
Great Holiday Ham! All of our guests raved about it. Presentation was awesome.
vivian jasinski | 26 Dec 2019
This is 1st time I've had this type of ham. I love using the bone as the handle and the whole thing is so easy to slice. I'm an elderly woman and I was able to do it all by myself. I would prefer it to be a bit less salty, but overall it was delicious!!!!! I'd order it again!
Bonnie Eckler | 11 Dec 2019
I too ordered 1of these hams from QVC a few months ago. It was the best I've had since childhood!!! So tender, barely any fat and, it was already fully cooked so, all I did was warm it. DELICIOUS!!!!

Delicious Ham Roast
First time we've ever had a steamship ham roast. I ordered the steamship ham roast last year from QVC. It was great and everyone loved it. Very moist, very tender, and had a wondrful flavor and not too salty. It was very large so we had a lot leftover. I wrapped the leftovers in portions and froze them. Well, we recently ran out and now my husband doesn't want to eat any other ham. QVC doesn't have it anymore. So, I'm hoping I can order from here. It is absolutely the best ham I have ever served. Wish I could give it ten stars.
Terri Bax | 30 Dec 2018
This is by far the best ham I have ever made. My family is still talking about how delicious it was. Presentation was beautiful. I will buy this ham again. Well worth the money. What was left made the best sandwiches.
Karen CORDASCO | 10 Dec 2018
Best Ham Ever!
This ham is the most delicious ham I've ever had. It was moist and provided what seemed like endless portions of meat. A true ham flavor and so easy to prepare. Worth every penny.
Andy chambers | 30 Nov 2018
Best Ham Ever
This is by far the best ham we ever served. They have a very impressive would you said it on the table . Then once everyone tried It they did not want to eat anything else.

gone in one evening
I've never written a review in my life until now. I remember as a kid in the 1950's my widowed neighbor next door would get a Virginia smoked ham each fall. He would get a slice off occasionally to let me have and it was unforgettable, until now. This Thanksgiving I cooked this ham as instructed and served at the meal. Mind you, I have 6 children (4 are married) and 5 young grandchildren. That makes 12 adults who ate and we still had a third left. Then my kids just "had" to get a few more bites as the liked it so much. Before the evening was done, all of the ham was cut off the bone and 5 small sandwich bags had the final scraps. Used the bone and made some great bean soup today. My kids wanted to know where I got the ham and could I get another one someday. Didn't tell them but I already have one in the big freezer.
John McClain | 29 Nov 2017
Many days later people are still raving about the wonderful ham I ordered. So many pictures were taking because it looked as great as it tasted .
Ben | 26 Dec 2016
This is the way to eat ham. Period!
Dan Dorsey | 20 Nov 2016
I have ordered this for a few years now. This is the Ham you want. Follow the simple directions and you will have the best ham ever. That simple
Wayne | 9 Nov 2015
I been getting this type ham for years . they re perfect. Every time. Amazing leftover for soups.

Lenders are expecting a drop-off in demand for mortgages, personal loans and business lending in the coming months, following the vote to leave the EU, according to a Bank of England report.
The Bank's Credit Conditions Review said that in discussions after the referendum, major lenders expected mortgage availability to be "little changed" in the near term - but they also anticipated that demand for mortgages would fall.
Lenders did not expect mortgage rates to change markedly - but s ome lenders said credit conditions could tighten if there was a deterioration in the economic outlook. This could make it tougher for some people to get a particular mortgage deal.
The review said that as with mortgage lending, most major UK lenders expect that demand for non-mortgage lending, such as that using credit cards and personal loans, would fall in the near term.
Alongside the review, the Bank also released its quarterly Credit Conditions Survey of banks and building societies. The survey was conducted before the EU referendum vote, between May 23 and June 10.
The survey found demand for mortgage lending for house purchase had increased significantly in the second quarter of 2016 - particularly for prime lending.
In the Credit Conditions Survey, lenders had said they were expecting overall mortgage demand to increase slightly in the coming three months.
Lenders had also reported an increased willingness to lend to people with smaller deposits of less than 10% in the second quarter of 2016.
The availability of non-mortgage credit to households, such as personal loans, showed signs of increasing in the three months to mid-June. Lenders had continued to loosen their credit scoring criteria and the proportion of loans being approved increased, the survey found.
Meanwhile, the overall availability of credit to the corporate sector was reported to be generally unchanged in the second quarter of 2016, continuing a trend seen for the last two years.
Lenders also reported that the availability of credit to the commercial real estate sector fell for the first time in four years.
Demand for corporate lending decreased significantly for large companies in the three months to mid-June, the survey found. Demand for lending from small businesses increased, while demand for lending from medium-sized firms lifted slightly.
The Bank's Credit Conditions Review said that in discussions conducted after the referendum, the major UK lenders expected the availability of credit to the corporate sector to remain steady, although a further tightening was expected for the commercial real estate sector.
The review said that in discussions following the vote, the major UK lenders thought there was likely to be a slowdown in demand for credit in the near term from both large corporates and SMEs, partly reflecting some investment decisions being delayed and mergers and acquisitions activity slowing.

A rice preparation from the west of India, 'Kolambi Bhaat' is similar to pulao where the spices are mixed with prawns and the rice is added at a later stage. Rice within the maharashtrian communities is known as 'bhaat' or even 'tandul' meaning grain of rice. There is such massive variety of rice dishes across regions of India and most are based around communities, cultures as well as seasonal ingredients through the year. White rice has been a staple ingredient in most regions of India more so in the summer months when temperatures are soaring.
As much as biryanis are a popular part of India cuisine, pulaos are largely quicker to make in busy households, with communities having their unique version of it. This 'bhaat'/ rice preparation is similar to a family recipe I used to eat when I was younger. My mother would make her own spice blend with poppy seeds, black cardamom and red chillies. My recipe below is a slightly different version of it. Being seafood lovers nothing made a meal better than 'Kolambi Bhaat' with fresh prawns and ground spices. Unlike a prawn curry where I would always look to use large prawns, in rice dishes it would be easier to have the smaller varieties as they absorb the spices whilst clinging to the rice grains.
For most Biryanis and pulao dishes I use basmati rice. I find its aromatic fragrance is perfect in Indian dishes with longer separated grains.
The masala base here is made with powdered spices and goda masala which is a blend of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, cassia and coconut all roasted until nutty and light brown. Then ground to a powder. A lot of Asian stores now stock a ready variety which is easy to use. If of course you can't get hold of it feel free to swap it with regular garam masala. In terms of quantities make sure to alter the garam masala based on how spicy the powder is. The flavour and taste will be marginally different but you will still get a delicious end result to this rice dish.
In a bowl add the prawns along with the turmeric powder and pinch of salt. Mix and set aside for 10-15 minutes. In a small sauce pan add the basmati rice along with the water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes until all the water has dried up. Turn the heat off and put the lid on. Let it rest while you make the base for the Kolambi Bhaat
In a blender add the garlic and ginger along with a splash of water and blitz to form a fine thick paste.
In a heavy bottom sauce pan heat the oil add the asafoetida and let it sizzle for a few seconds. Add the cinnamon, green cardamom pods, cloves, bay and cumin seeds. Fry and let them release their aroma for a couple of minutes. Now add the onions and fry for 5-7minutes on medium heat. As they start to change colour, tip in the garlic and ginger paste. Fry for 2 minutes as it cooks through.
Add the chopped tomato and fry for 4-5 minutes. Stir well making sure it doesn't stick to the bottom and mash slightly with the back of the spoon. Add the tomato puree along with the powdered spices. Stir well and cook the spices for a further 3-4 minutes.
Add the prawns and coat them in the spice base. Let them cook for a 3-4 minutes until they turn pink. Season to taste. Add pinch of sugar, curry leaves and lemon juice. Using a fork lightly fluff the rice and stir gently into the prawns mix making sure it's warm through.
Turn the heat off and cover to rest for a few minutes.
Serve warm garnished with green chillies, roughly chopped coriander and grated coconut.

L-Arginine Alpha-ketoglutarate
- Increases natural levels of growth hormone
- Promotes nitric oxide production
L-Arginine AKG can be used to increase the levels of nitric oxide and growth hormone in the body which can help to enhance muscle size and strength
L-Arginine AKG is a salt of the amino acid arginine and alpha ketoglutaric acid. L-Arginine AKG improves the delivery and retention of l-arginine in the muscle tissue for superior muscle performance.
Arginine is one of the most versatile amino acids; it not only acts as a precursor for the synthesis of various proteins but also nitric oxide, glutamate, growth hormone and creatine. Arginine plays many roles in the body which can directly influence performance. During periods of intense training, the metabolic demand for arginine may exceed the body's ability to produce it. Hence, arginine is considered a semi essential amino acid. Arginine supplementation is seen to provide a functional benefit to people involved in high intensity exercise.
Why choose L- Arginine AKG?
Along with an appropriate training protocol and macro nutrient consumption, the intake of arginine has been shown to boost growth hormone (GH) after intense resistance training. Growth hormone is one of the primary hormones that help to create an anabolic state in the body; therefore, influencing the adaptation to resistance training. It is highly important to maximise GH levels after exercise if your goal is to improve body composition, strength or power.
The production of nitric oxide is another important function that arginine intake can offer to people completing various training programs. The production of nitric oxide sends a signal to the inner smooth-muscle cells of artery walls to dilate (relax), resulting in increased blood flow. Enhanced blood flow, particularly during exercise improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscle cells which helps to boost exercise performance.

A few years ago I read The Diet Cure by Julia Ross and it was a startling eye opener on the subject of allergy addiction. The Diet Cure helped lay the foundation for a major sift in my eating habits and overall well being.
If you've not heard those two words used together – allergy addiction – that's ok but it is something you might want to investigate further if you've ever struggled with weight and more importantly – food cravings.
It turns out that if you are allergic to a food like milk or wheat – you may be locked in a cycle where you have become addicted to the pain killers your body secretes when you eat the food containing the allergen. Foods you are allergic to harm your digestive tract but you don't feel the discomfort because your pancreas floods your system with pain killers – and your pancreas makes some custom tailored and super powerful stuff. Just like any addiction, your body will then crave those foods so you can trigger the pain killers again and again. And that's how you wind up with an allergy addiction.
It's a cycle that can affect many aspects of your life – including mood swings, alcohol consumption and of course your eating habits. You may have been in this cycle since you were a child.
In her book, Julia delves deeper into the practical realities of living with allergy addiction and how to beat it. Ross is a strong proponent of using specific supplements to offset your cravings while you learn how to alter your diet and heal your digestive system.
The good news is it's easy to identify the foods you have issue with and strong support while you work out the changes. Besides losing weight, you might discover that foods you have issues with have simply been making you feel bad and tired all day long. You might also have a long list of secondary nuisance aliments the go away once you remove the allergen from your diet.
And the best news is if you have struggled with weight and your best efforts at making change have always seemed to fall short then this might just be a piece of the solution you've been looking for.

AB InBev centralize Internal Communications
AB InBev Europe has 16,000 employees, seven different languages – across 13 countries. What's their secret to successfully engaging such a diverse workforce?
At Newsweaver's recent customer day in London I had the opportunity to hear our customers share their employee engagement success stories with attendees.
AB InBev's Melinda Illes, Internal Communications Coordinator for Europe, was one of the customers. AB InBev's challenge is one that will resonate with a lot of internal communicators: successfully reaching and connecting with a very diverse workforce.
Melinda laid out the specifics of their workforce to us – dispersed across multiple regions, cultures and languages – and employees receiving too many communications in the inbox. Melinda then took us through the steps her team took to create internal communications that inspire engagement.
First step: connects with employees across multiple regions and languages
The first step was to create one communication center in charge of sending out all internal communications across Europe. The central team manages the flow of emails, and ensures employees only receive the communications they need to – personalized to their job, location and language. Melinda said this has resulted in decreased messaging – and increased relevance. The team had high impact, branded templates designed to give a consistent look and feel to their email. The design is responsive and can be consumed on any device – from desktop to tablet.
AB InBev use data to define employee groups and target content to each employee. This means content is only sent to employees if it is timely, relevant and targeted to their needs. Content targeting has resulted in a decrease in communications in the inbox – and huge increase in the relevance of the communications that do arrive in the inbox. To further up the engagement stakes – AB InBev translates content into five languages – so that employees receive the information in their native language.
AB InBev can now measure and improve on their success
With Newsweaver's real-time metrics dashboard, Melinda says their team can review and analyze results from their communications. This is an essential element in improving on engagement going forward. They use the insight for editorial guidance. Also, they breakdown the results by employee groups and regions to get a view across the organization. The central IC team can share this insight with relevant stakeholders across Europe.
See how Newsweaver can help you drive your internal communications strategy. TAKE A FREE TRIAL.

The project is located in Paşabahçe, one of the most privileged parts of Beykoz, a simply breathtaking region of Istanbul. With its special location, both sides of Istanbul are only a few minutes away.
This is a boutique project in Beykoz, the pearl of the Bosphorus, with the concept of "Konak" designed with the influence of Ottoman history.
In addition to the Bosphorus view, sports facilities and indoor swimming pools offer a healthy lifestyle.
The playgrounds where your children can play and grow in confidence make the project complete.
Combining panoramic views with interiors, large windows and balconies combine the modern lines with aesthetics and quality at every point.
Beykoz is renowned for its incredible forest landscape lining the Bosphorous.

Beykoz is an elite and historic district of Istanbul that lines the Bosphorus. Many Ottoman era castles remain, and Byzantine structures such as Yousef's hill remain, and open to tourism. One of Istanbul's most sought after regions, construction is strictly controlled by the Bosphorus planning committee. Only a few areas remain open to construction, with space quickly running out.
Areas of Beykoz like Kavacik are sought after, not only for its breathtaking nature and Ottoman mansions, but due to the easy access to central Istanbul via the FSM bridge. The business district ends up being just 10-15 minutes away, and one can even take a ferry to work.
At the Bosphorus coast, Beykoz comes to life, with popular historic town centres such as Cengelkoy. The coastal route is lined with posh restaurants and cafes, coming to life at night.
With such strict planning control by the Bosphorus planning committee, Beykoz land and property is at the higher scale for Istanbul. Its views over the Bosphorus are breathtaking, yet combined with this is quite exceptional forest views.
Low density planning ensures limited supply, combined with strict planning laws ensure only one way pricing can go - upwards. Major Istanbul developers are scrambling to get large enough plots of land to build elite and high grade compounds.

This dark and lovely track by Irish group, HAWK explores Ireland's ancient and archaic views regarding pregnancy and abortion. About the track the band says they want to shed light on Ireland's:
"archaic mindsets and processes which systemically lets down women, especially those in more vulnerable circumstances".
Despite the weight of the subject matter, "Once Told" is a blackened but beautiful song. Lead singer Julie Hawk's vocals float above potent drums (Sam Campbell) and striking guitar (Matthew Harris) and bass (Chris Handsley).
"Once Told" will be released February 19th of 2016 via Veta Records.

- -     ISB   |   Business     🕐 21. Nov. 2018
At 12:00 yesterday, BioInnovation Institute (BII) opened its doors for the very first time. An initiative by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, it is created to benefit human welfare and society.
BII is located in the Copenhagen Science City at COBIS. It offers help to scientists and researchers of life science, bringing ideas to life and research to market. Leading up to yesterday's opening, they have run their first batch of startups through their program.
The first batch consisted of six startups who were part of the Business Acceleration Academy (BAA); Bainan Biotech, InProTher, Circle Biomedical, Heartview Medical, Fermbiotics, Mycropt and the two taking part in BII Incubator Creation House - Retipharma and Stipe Therapeutics.
BII is a place that seems so much more than the ordinary startup hubs we know from the field of tech. Something seems to be different in this newly created space, but whether it is the buzz from the opening or in fact the passionate scientists that bring this extra spark to the place, we are yet to see.
The institute consists of everything from open office spaces, laboratories, meeting rooms, walls you can write on, to an open-plan lounge area.
"The centre will help innovative entrepreneurs and talented researchers develop research projects to the point at which they attract crucial capital investment," said Sten Scheibye, the former Chairman of the Board of the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
Scheibye continued - "The hope is that this will see new products and solutions that could in the future combat disease, improve health or conserve natural resources to benefit people and society around the world, which otherwise would never come to fruition."
Demo Day
The first batch of startups had started 11 weeks prior to opening. They were now ready to pitch their process and what they had achieved during their time on the program. The startups were at different stages before they started. Some of them were so young that they were not even officially registered as a company yet.
"We founded the company in October during the 11-week program," said Bolette Hartmann, Associated Professor within endocrinology and metabolism at the University of Copenhagen and CSO at Bainan Biotech.
Demo Day, combined with the opening of BII's location, had gathered serious minds from the bio-industry. Despite this gravitas, there was also a great atmosphere of camaraderie apparent in the place. A healthy mix of business and a high level of field knowledge meets a relaxed approach.
Maja Rennig, CTO of Mycropt and one of the companies making up of the first batch, said -
"I think it was extremely motivating to have these enthusiastic people here who really want to help companies to accelerate. And you get so much input from so many different people - lawyers, IP people, Business developers, Finance people, what-so-ever. And you can really put everything in one pot and accelerate from that."
Rennig continued - "It was just a really good experience. Also, to have so many other like-minded people around you, all the other startup companies. Learn together. Suffer together. Go through the hard times. "
Mingling and laughter filled the lounge area as the evening slowly came to an end. "It's been fantastic to watch all these successful young people that worked so hard on their projects. We are very excited - all of us", said Birgitte Nauntofte, CEO at Novo Nordisk Foundation.
We believe that information should be free and will therefore never put up a paywall.

I posted the latest in a long line of musical "sketches" that I've finally come around to finishing. It's one of those song ideas that started out with the main groove in the intro, and evolved over time to include more instruments, a proper chorus section with horns and flute, and most recently, a future jazz outro that sounds nothing like the first half of the track but which ends the piece smoothly.
I call it "Aramaic" — the ancient language spoken during New Testament days — even though the track has no spoken Aramaic in it, merely a few melodic lines that sound generally Middle Eastern.
One of my friends describes it as a perfect soundtrack to a detective video game with some 1980s flair in it. Another says it's space lounge music. I like both descriptions. Enjoy!

Sales Tip: You've Got To Lead
We talked recently about how to handle a prospect who was rushing your presentation. In it we talked about maintaining control of the sales process and how to keep the customer from pushing you right to price. After a couple of emails, I thought we should talk about the fact you should really be doing this with every sales situation.
Think of the sales process as a dance–in many ways they are similar. But, you've got to lead. You've got to control the process from beginning to end. However, it needs to be a natural flow where the two of you (you and your prospect) are working together–in concert–so that it doesn't seem like you're dragging them along.
It should be a very fluid process that you control.
In fact, done correctly the prospect doesn't really know you're leading–they are a part of the process and you are going to end up at the same place at the same time–a sale.
If you watch a pair of skilled figure skaters or dancers it's a thing of beauty. It's not like a tug-of-war. That's how your sales process should be. Nice and easy and everyone moving together.
But, again, you have to lead–you have to drive the process. You know the steps to take and the order to take them, so it's up to you to be take the lead role.
Once you understand this it. becomes unnoticeable. You shouldn't have to force yourself into that position, it should just happen.
Think about it during with your next sale. You lead. Guide your prospect along, gently taking them where they want to go. That's the key, you have to take them where they want to go–not where you want them to go.
Do this and the sales process becomes much, much easier.

Here are some ideas, beyond pasta and panini, for using basil pesto to its most delicious advantage.
Pesto roasted chicken: coat the bird (and smear a little under the skin), then roast as usual (Hungry Celeste).
Brush pesto on pork chops, then grill; it helps form a nice crust, and gives a great rustic flavor (HeelsSoxHound).
Pesto adds depth to omelettes, and perks up scrambled eggs.
Drizzle pesto over fresh mozzarella and tomatoes.
Mix with a little lemon juice and use as a salad dressing.
Stuff mushroom caps with pesto and bake…or brush on grilled sliced portobellos and melt fresh mozzarella on top.
Avocado pesto salad: big chunks of avocado, red onion, peeled cucumber, and ripe tomato tossed with pesto (GG Mora).
Use it to baste grilled veggies or meats, or toss with spaghetti squash or zucchini ribbons.

A court in Rajasthan read out charges against self-styled godman Asaram, who is currently in jail for sexually assaulting a minor girl.india Updated: Feb 14, 2014, 08:16 IST
A court in Rajasthan read out charges against self-styled godman Asaram, who is currently in jail for sexually assaulting a minor girl.
District and sessions judge (Jodhpur rural) Manoj Kumar Vyas also fixed the date for hearing on February 17, while extending the judicial custody of the accused.
Asaram and his caretaker Shiva, cook Prakash, Chhindwara ashram caretaker Sharad Chandra and hostel warden Shilpi will face in the trial the charges of gang rape, trafficking of a minor, sexually assaulting a minor, assault or use criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe her, wrongful confinement, criminal intimidation, criminal conspiracy and cruelty to a child.
If convicted, Asaram could be punished with life sentence. All the accused have denied the charges.
Shiva and Shilpi, who are out on bail, have been told to appear before the court on next hearing.
"When the judge was reading out the charges, Asaram became emotional and told the court with folded hands that this should be his last 'salam' to him (the judge). But judge Vyas looked away," a lawyer said.
Asaram was booked by the Jodhpur Police for alleged sexual assault on a 16-year-old girl at his Manai ashram near Jodhpur on August 15 last year.
He has been in judicial custody since September 2, as the high court has rejected his bail plea twice since then.
His son Narain Sai has also been in jail on charges of raping two sisters in Surat.

Your Path
Along with early responsibility and meaningful work, you'll receive top-level training, participate in professional development programs and have access to ongoing mentoring. The Davis Polk experience helps you become an excellent lawyer and gives you credentials that will open doors throughout your career.
There is no typical career path for a Davis Polk associate. Below, read several first-hand accounts from current and former Davis Polk partners, counsel and associates about their unique experiences.
As a Davis Polk associate, about 20 to 30 percent of my work was pro bono, which let me pursue my passion around women's rights movements in Muslim countries. Now as executive director of Equality Now, I work to protect the rights of women and girls around the world, with a focus on legal advocacy. It's helped my career to have started at Davis Polk. I've often used the hard skills – negotiating, drafting – and the clear thinking that I learned at Davis Polk."
– Yasmeen Hassan, Global Executive Director, Equality Now
Former Associate, Davis Polk, Corporate
After my first son was born I was not sure how, or if, I would be able to successfully balance my family life and my professional life at Davis Polk. A number of partners were very encouraging, however, and not long after I returned from my maternity leave I was promoted to counsel. The firm has been incredibly supportive and has helped me to develop a schedule that works for my family, the firm and, most importantly, our clients. The firm's dedication to its people and its willingness and ability to accommodate varying levels of intensity during different phases of a person's career is, in my opinion, one of its most impressive attributes."
– Heather Ward, Counsel

How to Connect a Drip to Sprinkler Pipes
When there's plenty of rain and the water table is high, running the sprinkler system every day keeps both the lawn and the garden nourished and healthy, but you have to use water more selectively in times of drought. Drip irrigation technology, developed in the arid climate of the Israeli desert, delivers water more efficiently, and it isn't difficult to connect drip tubing to your sprinkler pipes. Adapters are available that allow you to remove an individual sprinkler and connect drip tubing to the riser, but teeing into the sprinkler supply lets you use both watering systems.
Turn off the water to the sprinkler system. The valve is usually located near the point at which the sprinkler pipe ties into the main water supply pipe. If you can't find a dedicated valve, shut off the water main for the house.
Dig up a 24-inch section of the pipe that supplies the sprinkler system, using a shovel. If you're not sure where to dig, draw a mental line between the sprinkler valve station and the point where the sprinkler pipe ties into the main water supply. Dig somewhere along that line.
Remove enough dirt to completely expose the pipe, which is probably 3/4-inch PVC. Cut through the pipe with a handsaw. Wait for all the water to drain,and then glue in a 3/4-inch tee with its outlet facing up, using solvent-weld glue.
Glue a length of PVC pipe that extends 3 or 4 feet above the ground to the tee. Ideally, the pipe should be close enough to a fence or building to be attached for support. If not, you may have to drive a stake in to the ground to support it. At this point, you can backfill the hole.
Attach an outdoor spigot to the pipe. The easiest way to do this is to glue a 3/4-inch male threaded adapter to the pipe and screw the spigot onto the adapter. Wrap plumbing tape around the threads of the adapter and to tighten the spigot with a wrench to prevent leaks.
Attach a vacuum breaker to the spigot if it doesn't already have one. This prevents debris from siphoning backward and into the water supply.
Screw a filter to the vacuum breaker. This prevents hard water deposits from getting into the drip system and clogging the emitters. Screw a tubing adapter to the filter. This fitting has hose threads on one end and a compression coupler on the other.
Connect 1/2- or 5/8-inch polybutylene drip tubing to the adapter by pushing one end into the compression fitting. This tubing becomes the main drip supply line. Run it through the yard or garden, and connect emitters or branch lines with 1/4-inch PB tubing where needed.
Things Needed
- Shovel
- Handsaw
- 3/4-inch PVC tee
- Solvent-weld glue
- 3/4-inch PVC pipe
- 3/4-inch threaded male adapter
- Hose spigot
- Vacuum breaker
- Filter
- Tubing adapter
- 1/2- or 5/8-inch drip tubing
- Drip emitters
- 1/4-inch polybutylene tubing
- If you plan to run the drip system at the same time as the sprinklers, you should test the water flow to ensure it's great enough.
- Attach the spigot riser to house siding, a fence post or a stake with 3/4-inch pipe clamps.
- If you want to add a timer to your drip system, you can find battery-powered ones at most garden centers. This type of timer screws onto the spigot just after the vacuum breaker.

Tri-Am RV Blog
- 0 0Published on May 25, 2017
It has been a bit rainy in Bulls Gap, Tennessee and we have been stuck inside more than we would like. We have been watching endless streams of movies, playing cards, board games and snacking. Spending time like this indoors isn't bad- so long as it doesn't last too long, which is why it helps a lot if your RV space is warm and cozy to hang out in. We have some tips for you on how to instantly cozy-up your RV space.
Mood Lighting
Try using LED lights or real candles to add warm, mood lighting. By spacing out a few around well-used areas of your RV, you start to get a warm and cozy effect on the whole space. You can also make simple DIY candle holders for your real or LED lights. For instance, if you are going for a beachy type theme you can take a glass (or plastic, but glass feels more homey) candle holder and fill it with some blue marbles/dragon tear glass beads and/or some seashells and then place the candle on top. Feel free to also add some ribbon around the outside of the candle holder for added decoration. This simple addition a candle holder really spruces up any space. Or, if you have young children or really like the stars you can purchase constellation candle holders that shine stars onto surrounding surfaces.
Decorations & Art
Don't forget to make you home on wheels feel like home. Remember when you moved into your first apartment or house and it just felt a bit dull? Well you added your favorite paintings, hand towels, rugs, pillows, throw blankets, etc. to spruce the place up and call it a 'home'. Don't forget to do this for your RV, as well. Picking out bedding and sheets that you love, is important, too. We spend long periods of time in our campers and thus adding our own decorations can really make it feel like home. Pick out your favorite accent colors and decorate your bedroom or living area with those colors. You can put cloth covers over your dining chairs as well as your couch. Be sure to also add your favorite throw pillows and blankets to the couch. Add a fun cooking rug to the kitchen. Be sure to have around your favorite novels, movies and games for when there is downtime or when you are stuck inside. Don't forget to add pictures of your family and friends around the RV.
Real China and Glass
Don't just stick to plastic cups and paper plates. It really adds to the experience and homeyness of the RV if you are using real dinner plates and wine glasses. If you just make sure to package these properly they'll travel just fine in your camper. For glasses use a wine-box lined with foam to a create a wine, champagne & cognac glass holder. For your plates, be sure to line your cupboards with non-slip liner material and put non-slip plate separators between all of your real plates.
A Touch of Life
Add flowers and plants! Not only are they beautiful but they will also help your RV smell amazing. You can also use incense burners if you want a specific scent. Plants improve air quality and look beautiful and inviting. Plants help to boost your mood and lower stress levels. If you are worried about the plant life dying quickly, look into desert plants that don't need a lot of caretaking. The touch of bountiful green and color around the RV really helps make the space bright and cheerful.
One of the best ways to make a space feel like home is by making the windows your own. Showcase your style by adding new window dressing. This will improve the way the space feels while also helping with temperature control.
Closet Hangers
Instantly class up your closet by getting rid of old or plastic hangers and replacing them with nice wooden hangers. Not only will these look great and make you feel great, but they are actually better for your clothes.
While an RV doesn't have many doors going to the outside or into other rooms, there are typically a lot of cabinet doorknobs. Be sure to replace these with knobs that you love. Investing in some nice stainless steel or glass doorknobs can make a huge difference in the space feeling like a home.

If you spent much time surfing the net and looking at images created in Washington State, it won't take you very long to find some spectacular images of the Palouse. The Palouse is a major wheat producing region in the world, and is known for it's gentle rolling hills. Right in the heart of the Palouse is the highest point around, Steptoe Butte. Most of the images you will see of the rolling hills of the Palouse are taken from Steptoe Butte.
I grew up very close to the Palouse and went back last week to visit some family, which is much easier now that I live in western Washington than it was when I lived in Arizona. :-) On my way back home last weekend I decided to stop by Steptoe Butte even though it was a very hazy day and I was there right at mid day. Typically you wouldn't bother trying to make a landscape image giving the conditions, but these very conditions really allow an IR converted camera to shine. Not only does the IR spectrum cut through a lot of the haze in the air, but harsh mid day light also allows for a huge range of reflected IR light. This image is a perfect example of that. To the naked eye, and with a transitional camera, very little of what you are seeing here was actually visible.
The other thing great about using an IR converted body for a shot like this, and I have brought this up many times before, is that it allows you to create an image of a fairly iconic scene but allows the viewer to see it in a slight different way than they are used to.
I hope you like the image and will consider sharing the link to this blog post with your friends.

The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk at Bristol Old Vic: a whirling, whimsical account that's slightly underdone, review
For her farewell show with Kneehigh, the Cornish company whose reputation she boosted beyond measure over the past 15 years, Emma Rice (now the artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe) has gone back to her beginnings.
Once upon a time, treated (as she thought) abominably as a cast-member at the National Theatre, she walked out of a production of Tony Harrison's Square Rounds (1992) – drifted, struggled and wound up creating a show about Marc Chagall and his wife Bella called "Birthday", referencing the famous picture of 1915 in which a couple kiss as if in mid-air, the elongated, twisting male as light as a balloon. The success of that set her on the path to finding her calling.
Revisiting the life and primary personal love of the Russian artist (with the same writer, Daniel Jamieson) at this juncture of her career reads like a "note to self" as she enters the battleground of taking on the Bard on her own terms.
Chagall moved through an increasingly troubled world with a refusenik spirit – never losing sight of his humble, Jewish roots, open to new influences but unyielding in his passion and loyalties. Inspiring for Rice – and for us, too.
The new title foregrounds Chagall's (Belarus) hometown of Vitebsk, a focal point for his preoccupations, even as he progressed onwards to Petersburg and Paris – and a city of ghosts: it was near-flattened by the Germans in the Second World War.
No chance of easily representing that gaiety-filled "paradise lost" on stage, least of all with just two actors.
And yet, even though the evening concentrates, simply and sweetly, on the couple, Ian Ross's original music (performed live with piano, cello and accordion) creates a poignant sense of those other souls, with melancholy refrains and skittish suggestions of Yiddish song and dance.
Sophia Clist's beguiling set (beautifully lit) consists of wooden poles thrusting in different directions like a badly put-together circus tent, or – with paint-spattered canvas underfoot – a cobbled-together life-raft.
Actors Marc Antolin and Audrey Brisson – each visually striking, and brimming with unforced charm and joie de vivre – can hang off these wooden extrusions using ropes, enabling gravity-defying movements that answer Chagall's dream-like states.
Nothing is overdone. If anything, it's slightly underdone.
This is a whirling, whimsical account, not a Wikipedia entry.
I craved a touch more to chew on – but perhaps "leave 'em wanting more" is exactly what Rice intended.

Sexual assault is a crime of violence, not sexual passion. It is meant to degrade, humiliate, and control. The attacker can be a stranger or someone known and trusted. It can happen to anyone, at any time, at any place. The trauma of being assaulted is a shock from which many victims never fully recover.
No matter which form it takes, sexual assault is as much a problem today as it has been throughout history. While those most at risk are people between the ages of 10 and 29, it can happen to anyone at any age.
There is no portrait of a "typical" rapist. These men, like their victims, are all ages and come from all racial and social backgrounds. They can be college students, married men, doctors, teachers, or unemployed transients. Most are not crazy or deranged men looking for sex. In fact the majority of offenders are highly intelligent, married men with families and have ready access to consensual sex; but they rape to control, dominate, and humiliate the victim.
Here are some Myths and Facts about sexual assaults.
MYTH: Sexual assault is a crime of passion and lust.
FACT: Sexual assault is a crime of violence. Assailants seek to dominate, humiliate and punish their victims.
MYTH: You cannot be assaulted against your will.
FACT: Assailants overpower their victim with the threat of violence or with actual violence. In cases of acquaintance rape or incest, an assailant often uses the victim's trust of the assailant to isolate the victim.
MYTH: A person who has really been assaulted will be hysterical.
FACT: Survivors exhibit a spectrum of emotional responses to the assault: calm, hysteria, laughter, guilt, apathy, shock. Each survivor copes with the trauma of the assault in a different way.
MYTH: Sexual assault is an impulsive act.
FACT: Seventy-five (75%) percent of all assaults are planned in advance. When three or more assailants are involved, 90% are planned. If two assailants are involved, 83%. With one assailant, 58% are planned.
MYTH: Assailants are usually crazed psychopaths who do not know their victims.
FACT: As many as 80% of all assaults involve either a known acquaintance, or someone the victim has had contact with, but does not know personally.
MYTH: Gang rape is rare.
FACT: In 43% of all reported cases, more than one assailant was involved.
MYTH: Many women claim they have been sexually assaulted because they want revenge upon the man they accuse.
FACT: Only 4% - 6% of sexual assault cases are based on false accusations. This percentage of unsubstantiated cases is the same as with many other reported crimes.
MYTH: Persons who dress or act in a sexy way are asking to be sexually assaulted.
FACT: Many convicted sexual assault assailants are unable to remember what their victims looked like or were wearing.
MYTH: All women secretly want to be raped.
FACT: While women and men may fantasize about being overpowered during sexual relations, it is usually with a person of their choosing, who they trust. They are in control of the fantasy. No one wants the physical and emotional pain caused by a sexual assault.
MYTH: Only young, pretty women are assaulted.
FACT: There is no such thing as a "typical victim." Both men and women are assaulted by both male and female assailants. Victims have ranged in age from newborns to 100 years old.
MYTH: It is impossible to sexually assault a man.
FACT: Men fall victim for the same reasons as women; they are overwhelmed by threats or acts of physical and emotional violence. Also, most sexual assaults that involve a male victim are gang assaults, by other males.
MYTH: If you do not struggle or use physical force to resist you have not been sexually assaulted.
FACT: If you are forced to have sex without your consent, you have been assaulted whether or not a struggle was involved.
The information listed below provides suggestions on how to possibly avoid dangerous situations, and ways to resist if threatened or attacked. They are not a guarantee that you will never be a victim of an sexual assault, attack, and as a result of this, and injury. They are intended to reduce opportunity for a crime to be committed.
While statistics say that most sexual assaults are premeditated, in some instances it is a "crime of opportunity," such as a date rape. The victim and offender, for whatever reason, are at the same place at the same time. Whether the assault is one of opportunity or premeditation, there are simple precautions a person can follow to reduce, avoid, and even eliminate their chances of becoming a victim.
If you are a victim of sexual assault in New Orleans you can get help from the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office or call the Victims Services Division at 504-827-7225.

Every year thousands of beach goers find themselves caught in dangerous rips in Australian oceans, but a new app educating swimmers aims to change this.
Surf Live Saving Australia has teamed up with Samsung to launch Pocket Patrol, a new Android app that aims to help people identify hazards before they jump in the water.
The app uses augmented reality to superimpose the location of hazards that have been identified by the life guards on duty at the beach on the day.
This could be submerged rocks, shallow sandbanks or the are the biggest killer on Australian beaches -- rips.
"Our ultimate goal is to use this technology to further promote beach safety on all Australian beaches," Samsung said on their website.
The app is not to be used as a safety or warning device but as an easy, accessible tool used to promote safety and educate swimmers.
"It is not a safety or warning device, and must never be relied upon as a substitute for advice from an on-duty surf lifesaver and an understanding of your abilities in the surf," Samsung and SLSA warn.
It's currently being trialled over a four-week period at Queensland's Coolum Beach and Alexandra Headland.
For those of us who aren't in those areas, SLSA has also created short 360-degree film that shows what it's like to get stuck in a rip, providing tips on how you can get to safety.
The video isn't for the faint-hearted but like the new Android app, it's an important tool in the journey into further education about potential dangers at the beach -- that many of us know little about.

Get updates impacting your industry from our GigaOm Research Community
With California set to start doling out incentives for solar water heating systems on properties soon, you can expect to see more new companies crowding in this space. Startup Cogenra Solar is one of such new comer, and it has designed a hybrid system that uses mirrors and solar cells to generate electricity and useful heat.
The system, which comes with a single-axis tracker, relies on glass mirrors to concentrate the sunlight onto silicon solar cells to produce electricity, Cogenra CEO and founder, Gilad Almogy, told us in a recent interview. And in the same region where the cells reside is a fluid-containing tube that absorbs the heat produced from the process of electricity production.
The fluid, a glycol mixture that is freeze-resistant and commonly used to transfer heat in cars and liquid-cooled computers, is then piped to a holding tank for heating water (see diagram below). In settings that requires hot water around the clock, a boiler remains necessary for the final heating.
"It's a system optimized for both highly efficient PV and heat generation," said Almogy, who founded the company (previously called SkyWatch Energy) last year, has raised $10.5 million and counts Khosla Ventures as among its investors.
A panel filled with silicon solar cells typically can convert around 16 percent of the sunlight that falls on it into electricity. The rest of the solar energy becomes heat, which is dissipated but can threaten the performance of solar cells. A growing number of companies, like PVT Solar, Cool Energy and Conserval Engineering, are looking at ways to generate electricity while also making use of the heat. Cogenra's system can turn 75 percent of the solar energy into useful electricity and heat, Almogy said.
Almogy said the system can dial up and down the desired temperatures of the water, from around 120-degree F for businesses such as hotels to around 180-degree F for industrial operations such as food processing.
Almogy's first showcase installation will be a 272-kilowatt system at the Sonoma Wine Company in Graton, a town in Northern California, the company said Wednesday. The size of the installation is larger than the 80-kilowatt one that Cogenra had initially estimated when it applied for a grant from the California Public Utilities Commission, which has approved $1.47 million for the company to develop new features for its hybrid designs.
Cogenra plans to explore ways to automate the system so that it can, say, focus on generating more electricity and less heat at different times during the day when electricity rates and demand are high, said Almogy. Cogenra and Sonoma Wine Company will pony up $2.7 million total for the project and Cogenra plans to turn on the installation at the wine company in November.
Sonoma Wine won't own the system, however. Cogenra will own and operate the installation and sell the electricity and thermal energy under a long-term agreement. Cogenra plans to make money from offering such heat and electricity sales agreements, as well as from selling equipment. The company can use its own money to support some initial energy contracts, but will need to raise project financing to sustain the business.
Cogenra's emergence comes at a time when California is set to launch an incentive program for solar water heating systems installed for businesses and multifamily housings. The California Solar Initiative-Thermal launched the residential part of the program in May this year, and could start the commercial and multifamily portion by the end of this week.
The state has budgeted $350.8 million for the entire CSI-Thermal program and plans to run it until the end of 2017, or when the money is spent. Residential systems get a rebate based on the estimated amount of thermal energy (in therms) or electricity (in kilowatt hours) that the systems can displace in the first year.
Commercial, and multifamily systems of up to 250-kilowatt would follow the same rebate scheme, according to proposed rules. For systems larger than 250-kilowatt, the state will first pay 70 percent of the estimated displacement for the first year. The rest will depend on how much the systems actually generate after one year.

More Advertisers Drop Ingraham
More Advertisers Drop Ingraham
MIAMI (AP) -- More advertisers dropped Fox News personality Laura Ingraham on Friday, two days after she mocked a Florida school shooting survivor online.
At least 11 companies had said by Friday afternoon that they would pull their ads from "The Ingraham Angle."
On Wednesday, Ingraham tweeted, "David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it."
In response, Hogg, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School who filmed students hiding from the gunman in their classrooms, was quick to respond, tweeting a list of a dozen advertisers and encouraging followers to immediately call them and ask them to drop Ingraham. Hogg has faced intense criticism from right-wing conservatives and gun advocates who have falsely called him a crisis actor after the Valentine's Day shooting in Parkland that killed 17.
"Soooo @IngrahamAngle what are your biggest advertisers ... Asking for a friend," he wrote with the hashtag #BoycottIngramAdverts.
Of the businesses listed by Hogg, online home goods store Wayfair, food company Nestle, travel website TripAdvisor, video-streaming service Hulu and Rachel Ray's dog food Nutrish said they are removing their support from Ingraham. Though not specifically mentioned in Hogg's initial tweet, Office Depot, Jenny Craig, Expedia, StitchFix, Johnson & Johnson and Atlantis, Paradise Island resort have also dropped Ingraham.
Ingraham apologized Thursday on Twitter, saying, "On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland."
Ingraham tweeted that she thought she was the first to feature Hogg on her show after the shooting and added, "he's welcome to come on my show anytime for a productive discussion."
Hogg tweeted later Thursday that an apology to save advertisers wasn't enough and that he'd only accept Ingraham's apology if she denounced the way Fox News has treated his friends.
"It's time to love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children," Hogg wrote.

'Sons of Anarchy': How Kim Coates prepared for Tig's torment
Since we know a lot of people are currently marathoning Sons of Anarchy from the beginning because of the buzz surrounding season 5, we'll issue a SPOILER ALERT. Stop reading now if you haven't watched SOA's season 5 premiere. In an excerpt from an article originally published in September, actor Kim Coates takes us inside Tig's first run-in with Damon Pope (Harold Perrineau) — which found its way onto our list of the most disturbing TV scenes ever. For more stories behind this year's top TV and movie moments, click here for EW.com's Best of 2012: Behind the Scenes coverage.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Did Kurt Sutter tell you that Pope would retaliate for Tig killing his daughter by setting Tig's daughter Dawn (Rachel Miner) on fire while Tig was forced to watch, or did you find out reading it in the script?
KIM COATES: I was at the Upfronts in New York with him and a bunch of the fellas and Katey [last March], and he just took me aside and said, 'Get ready.' I said, 'You can't do that. You gotta give me a little bit more than that.' I honestly had goosebumps and got very emotional just from him telling me what the first episode was gonna be for Tig, let alone thinking about where I'd go with the whole thing.
Tell me how you prepare for a scene like that.
Listen, I've been acting a long time. When I read that scene, I can honestly say that I can't quite remember ever having that feeling. I was scared, I was excited. I've never had to do anything quite like that before. One of the first things I did was I went and talked to a really good buddy of mine, Sam Alibrando, who lives across the street from me. He's a therapist. We do this all the time with certain parts. He really helps me figure out where a person's mind goes. Because you and I would never have been in a situation like this before. So he really broke it down. See, what I don't like listening to is when writers go, "And then the person cries." "Or the person does this." It's there [in the script], but it's not the Bible. I wait and see what happens to me on the day. But I have to say, the way Kurt mentally had thought out Tig's emotions during the duress of that night happened to be exactly what Sam across the street told me would probably happen to a human being.
So I'm chained up. I can't get off the chain. I'm going to die. Then to see and feel what they were doing to my little baby in that dumpster. I want to die for her. I don't die for her. They go ahead with it. I watch them pour gasoline on her. It was unbelievable. When Sutter wrote down after I wipe out the cop and the cleaner "He just finally breaks down," I can't tell you how easy that was for me, Kim, to just completely lose it. It was at the end of the night. We did it two or three times. And every time, it just was a release that I never quite felt before as an actor. I've gotta give it up for the props guys as well: I've had handcuffs on (coughs) as certain characters in a play, let's keep it at that. And they hurt. Had those boys not figured out a rig to save my wrists, I think I would have ripped my hands right off. They found this rig of this incredible arm-looking material that we put underneath the cuffs so that I could writhe around.
It's interesting to hear you talk about "He just finally breaks down," because that was the moment I wanted to ask you about. It seemed purposeful, like that's when Tig would allow himself to break down.
It really was. Sam went over the things in the mind — with the adrenaline, to the fear, to the numbness, and then to the release. That's really what the human body would go through in this fight or flight pattern. So it made sense. After we had that great discussion, I didn't think about it anymore. I just let whatever happened that night happen. We shot it over two nights. Paris Barclay, the director, was very conscious of how to make it as easy physically for Tig as he possibly could. Because we were going there two nights in a row, I didn't really shower after the first night. I just came home, kept to myself, and slept. The second night turned out to be almost as emotional [filming scenes for episode 2] when the boys come and they see me there at the pit, looking down at my daughter, and I have to explain what happened. I really did clean myself off a lot when that part of the story was finally over for me. Because things happen really fast on this show. I'm in a comatose state. Gemma tries to help me out, but then something happens that just rocks our world, and Kurt just keeps moving forward. There's no time to reflect, so that's up to me as Tig to never forget what happened with Dawn. But you gotta keep going. I think that actually helps Tig…. It was tough, man. All the boys on the set were going, "Wow, I can't wait to see this" or "Take it easy." And Rachel Miner was phenomenal. It's just so sad. Jesus Christ.
As a viewer, it's even more painful to watch the scene a second time, when you know what's coming.
That's the epic thing of Kurt and this world. [With Kurt having said he's plotting the show to go seven seasons], we are definitely on the other side of the mountain now. We're coming down now. And so Kurt's just not pulling any punches now. It's just all in. We're all in. We're all f—ed. We're all trying to continue this club brotherhood, but it's just breaking up everywhere. Gemma's a mess. Clay's a mess. (Laughs) So it's gonna be really interesting to see how people take to this season for sure.
What do you think Pope brings to the show as a villain? I think the premiere establishes what Kurt's said all along: he's a level of gangster they've never dealt with before.
We've never run into someone quite like this. Adam Arkin's character Zobelle in season 2 had this incredible twisted KKK s— that we had to deal with, and he had the brains to go along with it, which was kind of off-setting. But Pope is also street, more street than we've ever encountered on the other side of the fence. I think what Harold brings to that is this incredible charisma and suit. (Laughs) And I think he smoked about 42 cigars the first night that we met, because he smokes a cigar in that scene. He pulls up in this Lincoln Continental, and you just know Pope's a different guy.
Harold's a pro. He was phenomenal as Mercutio in [Baz Luhrmann's] Romeo + Juliet. I'm a Shakespeare guy. I was the youngest Macbeth ever at 27 when John Neville directed me at Stratford. So Shakespeare means a lot to me, and obviously Sons is very Shakespearian too, right, with the whole Hamlet metaphor. So Harold's great. I have to say though that I don't work much with him because I think it's probably safer for both [our characters] not to be in the same room with each other. When he and I met the first time… There are certain times when you don't want to see or talk to someone before acting certain moments because it really does add to whatever it is you're trying to create. I think Harold and I both went there without even intentionally doing so. In the van driving to set, I didn't want to look at him and he didn't want to look at me. We stayed away from each other on the set. Then we just let the emotions come out.

Just shut your face.
So, my sister (that floating head in the above picture)… who we'll call "Betsy" (mainly because that's her name)… is graduating law school in about a month and a half. She interned at a firm in New York last summer, and was offered a job at the end of it – which she accepted. So she'll be living in New York come fall making more money in a year than I probably *ever* will.
Well, with the current economy situation (heard of it?) it's a tough job world out there. Some of her friend's job start dates have been pushed back (some until 2010). Hers was pushed back a couple of days, or a week, or something. So right now, she's good. And sure, rent in New York costs a lot of money, but even rent for a decent apartment is doable with her salary. But if my mom were writing this blog, this is how it would go:
"Betsy has a job in New York starting in October. Well, that's if it's still there! She's making a lot of money… but they'll probably take most of it out in taxes so it's not like she'll be making that much! The economy is so bad I wouldn't doubt them taking away the job at all, or if she'll even last without being laid off until next year."
Thanks, Mom. That's what every child wants to hear upon graduating… especially law school.
But my mother doesn't quit with her negative attitude (which is becoming pretty unbearable these days…)
Every conversation leads to the downward spiral of the economy. When I tried to talk to her about my anxiety issues, she said, "Well it's good that you realize it. You're going to have to live with it though, just take them with you and move on." Yeah, I shouldn't get help for something that's mentally eating my soul alive because nothing's ever going to get better! I'm going to be miserable forever… but at least I *know* that.
Now, my mom has her own problems and reasons to be negative… (not even including the amount of vitamins she takes, cloves of garlic she eats or cod liver oil she drinks, or the homemade face masks out of Crisco, either)... I won't get into them. But it's times like these where I look at my parents and I think "Dear God, that's where I get it."
Anger issues, anxiety issues, drunk driving issues (is that hereditary?), passive aggression… they all come from my parents.
It's not a fun moment when you look at your future dead on. It's actually sort of terrifying.
Well, at least my mom's pretty and my parent's have both aged well. I've got that going for me.

Genes made you a blonde. But you said "F that biology I want to be a red head". Genes made you shy and introverted. But you said "F that I want to put myself out there"
Maybe you have a little bit of the crazy in you. But you don't have to be anything you don't want to be.
Also a conversation the other day:
Me: "I don't even need an apartment in NYC until October 1"
Mom: "Probably more like January. If at all"
