After the entertaining fluff of "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang," Season 2's follow-up effort hits hard. A mashup of the recurrent themes from Battlestar Galactica and 24;, "Sleeper" walks down a checklist of hot-button items, but with grace and feeling, avoids bludgeoning viewers with any particular viewpoint. There's a lot to be said for a show that lets you make up your own mind about how you feel about what's going on. Where the season premiere gave us a lot of running around and a few tense situations, "Sleeper" plays it straight and digs deep, asking questions we don't want to answer, and forcing us to admit that some questions have no easy answers. As much as I enjoyed "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" and James Marsters' charismatic rogue, "Sleeper" is far superior, and its guest star Nikki Amuka-Bird, given a more complex role, knocks it out of the park. "Sleeper" is not to be missed.
Typically for Torchwood, the action begins at night. Literally being in the dark must mean that we're also metaphorically in the dark, right? We're also justifiably still afraid of the dark, as are the two attractive people who are awakened by a noise from another room. Their hushed conversation is the kind of thing you expect on a schoolyard. Wife: "Are you going to go in there?" Husband: "Are you?" Will they dither until it's too late? No; the wife's "Grow up, will you?" expression encourages her husband to pick up his cricket bat and go investigate. As the wife dials the police, the husband suddenly comes flying back through the doorway. He falls, unconscious, as two men in ski masks follow him; the wife immediately ditches the phone and tells them to just take what they want. We think we know where it's heading when one of the men hears the police on the phone, but then everything shifts. The lamp is knocked over, and the camera remains there as we hear men pleading and screaming, then silence.
In the aftermath of the attack, Team Torchwood has been called in along with the police and emergency medical personnel. Tosh (Naoko Mori) confirms that the window was broken from the inside. It appears that someone was thrown through it, which provides the likely explanation for how one of the intruders ended up on a car below.
That man is in critical condition but still better off than his companion, now dead from multiple stab wounds to the chest and one to the forehead. No one has left the scene and there is no bladed weapon anywhere. The husband is still unconscious and the wife, blood spattered, is still curled up and freaked out, disavowing any knowledge of what happened.
The police constable suspects the husband, but PCs aren't known for their skills at solving nearly locked-door murder mysteries. Jack (John Barrowman) points out the husband's weapon of choice was a cricket bat, unlikely to have produced such wounds, but admits it must be either the husband or the wife. Tosh doesn't see how that's possible, given how tiny the woman is. Jack replies with the simple statement that you'd be surprised what people can do under duress.
Meanwhile, Owen (Burn Gorman) and Gwen (Eve Myles) have followed the injured men to the hospital to see what they can learn from them; each has a theory of his own. Owen thinks it was the wife; Gwen disagrees. Owen dubs her Jessica Fletcher, which leads to a marvelously off-topic train of thought starting with Angela Lansbury and ending with wondering why Sweeney Todd wasn't referenced in "Countrycide."; Owen can't explain how the wife could have done it, anymore than Gwen can explain how it was the husband.
But someone threw that man out the fifth story window. The burglar is in critical condition, but helpfully regains consciousness enough to tell Gwen and Owen that it was the wife. "Keep her away from me," he begs, just before he flatlines. Owen gloats to Gwen, "I told you it was her." And so begins a very dark journey for Beth (the previously mentioned Amuka-Bird), and for Team Torchwood.
I don't remember seeing Torchwood's interrogation room before, but it looks like everyone else's: bare walls, table, chairs. Jack's pressing Beth to give it up: "We know you're an alien." Gwen plays Good Cop and tries to comfort Beth and assure her everything is going to be OK, but Jack knows better. When Beth insists there's no such thing as aliens, they take her on a brief field trip to meet Janet the Weevil. At first Janet's her usual Weevil self, aggressive and screechy, but after a moment, her demeanor changes completely. She sniffs Beth and then hushes, then bows repeatedly, lowing, backing into the corner of her cell. Even Jack can't explain that behavior, having never seen it before, but it's another indication that Beth isn't what she seems to be.
Having already denied Beth due process and legal representation, Torchwood segues rapidly from harsh interrogation through coercion to torture. When Owen snaps two needles and a scalpel trying to get a blood sample, they move right to the heavy guns, breaking out some alien technology which Tosh notes "we're not supposed to use anymore." It's a mind probe, and it's excruciating, right up to the point where your head explodes, as Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd) helpfully reminds Jack. Jack doesn't care.
Gwen's a mess over all this, and Beth's "I can't believe this is happening to me," is dead perfect. Jack is relentless, though, as he instructs Tosh to go deeper and deeper still, in spite of Beth's screams. Flashes of images—blood flowing, muscle cells pulsing—effectively convey the idea of drilling down through layer upon layer, until finally, when it seems as if Beth's head really should have exploded by now, but no, "still safe"—they find what they were looking for. Beth's right arm morphs into some kind of device, and she clearly enunciates a phrase in an alien language. But that one phrase is all she'll say, no matter what question they put to her. Beth's stony expression is in sharp contrast to her agony of only a moment ago; the entire team save Jack had been in agony with her. As soon as they break through to the alien level, that tension dissipates and new one forms: curiosity and fear replace revulsion at the pain they've caused. Jack's expression remains fixed at cold determination.
He's not surprised. "Name, rank, and serial number, " he explains, before telling the others he knows exactly what Beth is: a sleeper agent from a particularly lethal alien race. They place their agents and collect their information. Then, when the time is right, they attack, obliterating everything. There's not enough time for anyone to ask , "How do you know all this?" They go directly to "Now what do we do?"
Step One is convincing Beth she's an alien. The already traumatized woman is horrified by the video of her performance under the mind probe. She doesn't feel alien, doesn't want to believe that she's a danger. This brief scene is spectacular, and pits what is against what would be: Beth still feels human, believes she's human, isn't that what counts? Gwen says yes, Jack—again, knowing better—says no. Even Beth realizes that when her alien persona takes over, she won't even remember being human, loving her husband, the simple, sweet life they had. Of course Beth doesn't want to give all that up; no one accepts having her heart metaphorically ripped from her chest without good reason.
Still, Beth agrees to let Torchwood put her in cryogenic suspension to keep her safely from the world until they can figure out what to do with her. Tosh rigs up some tech to short out the force field that had earlier prevented Owen's blood tests, and Beth is tucked away in her tank in Torchwood's morgue.
But not for long. When Beth's force field is shorted, the other sleepers in her cell are activated. In short order we see a middle-aged business man murder his own wife, an EMT abandon a patient in the midst of administering CPR, and a young woman abandon the baby carriage she had been pushing. Meanwhile, Beth has escaped from her drawer in the morgue.
Jack is the one who figures out where Beth has gone: to say goodbye to her husband, still in the hospital. I loved these two characters together, their teasing earlier, their tears now. Beth says she needs to go away, and Mike (Dyfed Potter) tells her that no matter what she's done, it doesn't matter, he loves her too much to let her go. Unfortunately Jack and Gwen arrive too late to save him, because Beth's alien persona realizes that Mike will be troublesome, and she stabs him in the gut. Beth's screams and repeated punching of the call button fail to provoke any kind of response from the hospital personnel; so much for socialized medicine.
So far, this episode has dealt with secret detention, harsh interrogation, and torture. What else can they throw at us? Suicide bombing, infrastructure attacks, and using our own weapons against us? Check, check, check: the sleepers have palm-sized explosive devices. The young woman blows herself up in a building and cuts out all phone services. The EMT detonates himself and a fuel truck, causing an explosion that rocks Jack and Gwen, still in the hospital with Beth, and prevents access to an underground military route. Meanwhile, the businessman has murdered a father in front of his wife and children.
These three apparently unrelated attacks are quickly correlated back at Torchwood. The murdered man was the City Manager, responsible for coordinating emergency responses. Ianto gets a great quip here when Owen asks how he knew that, "I know everything," then deadpanning that he read the information off the screen. But the aliens know things even Torchwood doesn't, yet. With Beth's help, they track the remaining sleeper's location, and discover he's heading for the up-till-now secret cache of nuclear weapons just outside the city. The lack of phone service leads to a nice little comic interlude, with Owen insisting that Tosh rig something, Tosh protesting there's nothing to rig, and Ianto riffing on that theme to Owen's detriment. Just as Tosh is reiterating for the Nth time that there's no way to reach Jack, the man himself calls in on CB radio, which is sufficiently low-tech to escape the aliens' influence. Tosh fills Jack in on the sleeper agent's target, and Jack, Gwen, and Beth head after him.
The end of world (the detonation of 10 nuclear warheads) is averted when Jack runs the last sleeper down with the SUV and then disrupts his force field, making him vulnerable. The two men exchange a few lines. "When are the others coming?" Jack asks. "They're already here," is the chilling reply. The sleeper detonates his explosive device to prevent Torchwood from learning anything else from him. The crisis is over, for now. Are there more sleepers? We don't know; if there are, we have no way of knowing where they are or when they'll strike. They have already amassed enough information about us to beat us. It was mostly luck, in the form of Beth, that let Team Torchwood win this round.
This was a very well-constructed episode, coolly dealing with many difficult issues. The pacing was excellent, as was the injection of brief bits of lighter dialog to help keep the story moving and provide balance for the heavier emotional scenes. The minimal special effects (the arm implants, the flashes during the mind probe scene, the explosions) were well done in that they didn't call attention to themselves as special effects. The shaky characterizations of season one are distant memories; no one has time screw around in this episode. Once again the team is on, competent in the face of the weird and threatening, and once again, Gwen is the team's link to humanity. The new spirit of camaraderie is so much more pleasant to watch than the old tensions, but that doesn't mean that everyone has been washed out. I'm particularly enjoying Ianto's unleashed sarcasm; it's so great to hear someone tell Owen to get over his obsession with sex and get back to work with a single, well-worded statement.
Is this meant to be a commentary of conduct in the global War on Terror? It's hard to think that is; anything goes when you're literally saving the planet. Like 24, Torchwood justifies the use of torture and invasive methods, but in this case, there was no doubt at all about what Beth was, even if she didn't want to believe it. Removing the ambiguity may make it all a little easier to swallow, but does that make it right? Jack thought so, but Gwen wasn't sure. You have to find your own right answer here.
This was the first time I felt that perhaps Gwen is too soft for this job, but not the first time it was obvious that she provides a perfect counterpoint to Jack's implacable realism. Gwen answers her own questions, "What is it that makes us human, anyway," with the assertion that feeling human is enough. Beth doesn't want to be an alien, "that person," and while Gwen tries to tell Beth she doesn't have to be, Jack's response is the correct one, "I'm sorry, but you are." But maybe Jack was wrong. Beth can't live with the guilt of millions of potential deaths, and she can't live knowing that when her alien persona takes over, she won't even remember feeling guilty. She comes to a decision in what could've been an unbearably awkward conversation with Gwen. With these two actresses, though, the dialog felt natural, with both of them struggling, again, with what is versus what could be. Gwen's hope is no match for Beth's fear, and Beth apologizes in advance for what she's about to do as she takes Gwen hostage. Beth stages this in such a way that the rest of the team can shoot her while Gwen remains safe, and that's the way it plays out, in spite of Gwen's protests.
Beth mourned that she would never "be human enough," and this is another significant change in the new season. Season one showed us so much of the brutality of the human race, I was often left wondering what's the point of defending the planet? But we find the worth of humanity in the strangest places. Here it's Beth, somehow finding the strength to subvert her alien persona, human by choice. Just an ordinary woman, human enough to love her husband, to see the good in the world, and to sacrifice everything to save it.

Happy 2018 loves :-).
Isn't it amazing that God's grace has kept and allowed us to see this year? I'm really grateful and happy and wish every one of you a super blessed year, May all the desires of your heart be fulfilled. Amen.
Many many thanks for your support and just taking time to read, like, love, comment. It goes a long way :-).
Now, I rarely do the New Year resolutions, so this post has nothing to do with that. But I try to list a few goals which most of the time I fail miserably half way through the year, the best part about failing is that you learn to better yourself. Plus it has taught me to be more trusting in God, believing in the process and learning to live one day at a time.
With this year having so many promises to be fulfilled and having a lot to do in the coming months, I won't be making any promises on the number of posts I will do but I can assure you guys I will try to do as many as I can :-).
So stay safe, enjoy life and let's get social ;-).

Right now we have (4) zones and (4) thermostats with external water tank, but it evidently its piped into one of the four, so not optimal. The plan is to add 5th zone with new burner and new tank, circulators, etc... Haven't considered adding more than 5 zones, or planning for thermostat per room. I'm not looking to send dollars cross the pond, just want the best solution. We obviously want efficiency given the current market conditions. I believe the boilers I quoted are all 86-87% AFUE. I understand Burnham is a good boiler, that whole V7 cracking issue put me off. Assuming they have cleaned up their act, is the MPO147 much better (like $1000 or more) than the V84? It was also metioned to me along the way that Peerless isn't really a quality boiler. That could be sales speak or reality... Having zero knowledge of this field, I couldn't assess that. So I'm asking. In addition could you give opinion on whether an outdoor module control is good/bad. One vendor recommends it, while another says it will make my boiler run constantly and not as efficient. I have no idea who to believe. I thought the outdoor module control was for efficiency...

Hopping to School
As Easter approaches Caden will be hopping to school this week to celebrate with his friends and most importantly teachers. My former teacher's heart can't miss an opportunity to tell his teachers that they are appreciated.
Anyway I can show them that I am grateful for their time being patient with little ones, keeping my son safe and giving him loads of attention is worth it to me.
So, for just a little something to help them know they are thought of, they will be getting a mini Easter basket from Caden at the end of this week, just in time for the Easter Bunny to begin making his rounds. Nothing extravagant – cute socks, gum, fun patterned tissues, hand sanitizer, sweet treats hidden in the back and chapstick all tucked away in a festive berry basket. Practical, price sensitive yet purposeful.
A little bit of love can go a long way, especially to a teacher.
Caden is always so excited to take his teachers their surprises and I am sure these along with a batch of Bunny Bait will be another fun delivery for him to make.

12 Days of Christmas Treats & Eats II Day 4 {Stovetop Potpourri}
Before I share another holiday treat, I have to share the truth with you. In my home there is an almost three year old, a one year old, two dogs and two adults. That means there is food stuck under chairs and in places I didn't know it was hiding, a dirty diaper that my darling husband forgot to bring downstairs left in a room, and the yard brought in by my dogs fur. Yes, I clean. Yes, I vacuum. Yes, I pick up. However, because there is an almost three year old, a one year old, two dogs and two adults a "just cleaned" sparkling smell is not always what I walk into. Yuck.
The last thing I want is for someone, even the delivery man is to walk in and think "Oh my, what is that smell? Something just isn't right in there." So, I bring to you day four.
On the 4th day of Christmas Treats & Eats my mess of a kitchen gave to me…
Holiday Stovetop Potpourri, Chewy Ginger Cookies, Bailey's Brownies and Butterscotch Toffee Shortbread
Day Four – Stovetop Holiday Potpourri
- one whole orange or just the orange peel (I have even used several Clementines)
- 1/2 cup cranberries (as in the real thing…not dried)
- 1 Tbsp. whole cloves
- 3 sticks of cinnamon or a small handful of small pieces of cinnamon
- a bit of grated nutmeg if desired
Are you ready? It is really tricky.
Quarter the orange. Put all the other ingredients into a medium saucepan.
Fill your pan with water (as much as you want really).
Place on the stove on the smallest burner, on the lowest simmering setting.
Refill your water as needed.
Yup. that easy. Dump it in, turn it on, and your house will magically smell like Christmas. Great for when company is coming over or when you just need a cozy day at home with your kiddos. Some recipes for this say you can use the same batch for weeks and weeks. I used mine for a few days because it started to weird me out that is was just sitting there even though it still smelled good!
(it does turn brown from the heat)
Don't forget to relive our first go at Twelve Days of Christmas Holiday Treats & Eats from 2010!
Tips & Tricks {Spices}
Most of us grew up with some form of a spice rack in our home. A tiered "organizer" of some sort, an over the door hanger or a cabinet crammed full of jars. So, every time you went to get out a spice you had to dig around, stack and re-stack, and push through half of them to find the one you wanted. No matter how many times that spice rack was reorganized so you could see them it would inevitably become a mash of jars you couldn't see. Upon moving into our home five years ago I just couldn't stand our spice cabinet for very long. It took entirely too long (a year or so) for me to get it in gear and decide upon a solution. Let me present to you the solution that has been in play in the Kazmann household and I think it might change your life. Okay, maybe not your life but it might alleviate some kitchen frustration!
The spice drawers.
I know, I know. You don't have enough drawers to begin with right? Well, the utensils that were in these drawers actually fit well in the cabinets and being able to see all of the spices and know they are alphabetically organized (left to right, bottom to top) makes it easy peasy to cook. Time savers are huge in this house.
Best part? It only took me paper towel rolls (or cut up wrapping paper rolls) and come cutesy wrapping paper (if you choose) and the drawers were separated and ready to go. I had plain rolls at first but a certain toddler emptied an entire jar of cayenne pepper (of all the spices)into my drawers so after cleaning them out the wrapping paper brightness was added for some fun. Second best part? If they get gross or ruined, big deal. Toss them and put some new ones in without an investment.
My sister in law adopted these drawers when they moved into their newly built house a year and a half ago and has loved the change. I think you will too.
I decided to share my solution with you because my college roommate Jordy is doing a series called "Organizing Life" on her blog and her first project was a drawer. While I didn't have to start over I thought this was a great time to pass along the idea!
Tips and Tricks – "Uncasing" Your Garlic
It has come to my attention that many of you are still digging into your garlic cloves with your nails trying to peel that dang clove out. A little peel here, a ton of garlic under the nails there, I think I have it here, dang it! Don't worry my friends, until my husband entered my life ten years ago, I was in your shoes. You read it here, the hubs rocked my garlic peeling world and thanks to him my hands still smell like delicious lavender soap instead of garlic.
Step One. Pull yourself a single clove off the the cluster there. No, stop don't start peeling away the layers. Leave it just like that. There you go.
Step Two. Place your garlic clove onto your cutting board or counter top and place the flat side of a wide knife blade on top.
Step Three. Push down on the knife with your hand. Not on the blade silly, on the flat part. Just press your sweet little hand down on that knife that is laying on top of your garlic clove. You will feel the clove give a little and then…..
The casing cracks right open and there is your garlic clove, nice and clean and ready to be plucked right out!
Tips and Tricks #2 – Wrapping Presents
So this may not actually apply to the kitchen, but it is the second round of Tips and Tricks for your household tasks. That was a mouthful.
You are either completely on top of it with all of your holiday shopping complete, wrapped, tagged and delivered. Or, you are planning on doing it all this weekend. I personally prefer to avoid having to go to malls and shopping centers in the weeks leading up to the holidays at all costs.
Regardless, wrapping presents in my family has become as much fun as finding and exchanging the actual gifts themselves. Years ago, my aunt began "dressing up" her packages with fancy ribbon and attaching some type of ornament or trinket to the top. It has become a sort of tradition to look for holiday ornaments or extras that fit the recipient or continue to pass a few silly ones around the family.
Think of it as a twist on an ornament exchange that doesn't add much cost, but does add a whole lot of flair. Obviously the best time to look for these items is right after the holidays when they all go on sale and you can stock up, but if you peek in the stores you will be amazed.
So, if you are looking for a change in how to wrap your presents this year, or just some insider tips, these are for you!
– Don't use the same paper for every gift. Yes, rolls of wrapping paper can add up, so look at places like Tuesday Morning for deals on quality paper. (Next year you should hit up the elementary kids in your neighborhood who are selling wrapping paper as a fundraiser.)
– If you are giving multiple gifts to one person, also use different paper or coordinating paper.
– If the paper is tearing as you are trying to unroll it, chances are it is going to be a headache to wrap with and will tear with each fold and corner you make. Find the thicker paper.
– Go to a craft store and buy a couple rolls of "real ribbon". This too you can find deals on. Don't just buy the holiday themed ones but find rolls you could use year round. You won't believe how much this ribbon will add to your packages!
– If you want to make big, fancy, fluffy bows…wire rimmed ribbon is your best bet.
– Unfortunately, the Scotch Tape labeled "gift wrap tape" does actually look better and work much better then the normal tape. You wil use less and it will stick, this I promise.
– Make definite creases in your wrapping paper when you are folding the corners. This will make it easier to place and tape and you won't feel like you don't have enough hands.
– Find a topper…or trinket…or ornament. Trust me.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking…this sure is a lot of work for something they will just tear off and throw away/set aside. That is the wonderful thing about it! No, we aren't the "carefully open your presents and save the paper" people, but we do save all of the ribbon and toppers. Not only do you leave with thoughtful gifts and wonderful memories, but you will have great ribbon that is already cut to fit presents.
Happy Wrapping!
Tips and Tricks # 1
In August, I wrote you about Battling the Microwave which really had more to do with Baby Kaz than the microwave itself. However, I decided (after some pressure from Leah) to share some tips and tricks I have with you….and this one goes perfectly if you too are battling your microwave. Not only does the food you are cooking in it smell up the house, but so does whatever else has bubbled over and crusted in your microwave. Don't act like yours is spotless, you may wipe it out when there is a spill but you know there is grossness in there. What stinks is trying to spray random cleaners in there to soak it, or scrubbing until your arms feel like they have been shoveling snow all day. Let me help.
You will need a bowl of water, a lemon cut in half and well…..a microwave. Now, get ready for the easiest cleaning of your life.
1. Squeeze the juice of one half of a lemon into the water. (Yes, it is fine if the seeds get in there.)
2. Put the bowl of lemon water into the microwave and microwave on high for 1 minute. The steam of the water has acid from the lemon in it and it will coat the sides of your microwave.
3. At the end of the minute, take a paper towel and wipe down the sides with ease.
4. Repeat the one minute process and squeeze more lemon juice in it, if it is really bad as many times as you need to keep wiping it down. I promise you will not have to scrub and in the end you will have a shiny, lemony fresh microwave.
You Are Welcome.

I tried this place out again. It was amazing. The ribs were big and juicy, so good. The sides were delicious. The service was on top of it and gave my friend and I great suggestions on beer and rib pairings.

2. During a Sunday afternoon ramble, to find not just ONE haul of goodies, but TWO! Sweet, sweet blackberries from the hedgerow that popped satisfyingly with juice when you bit into them, and the shiniest, most polished conkers I've managed to find for years; they were dropping off the tree to my feet as I walked by.
3. To light a candle that I'd forgotten I had! Bought in the summer along with a perfume with the same scent, once lit it instantly transported me back to those lazy, hot days in the South of France.

You might even be able to tell when your non-human pet is upset. But what about non-mammals, like frogs? What about birds?

Billionaire investor George Soros is again venturing into the political arena, at least behind the scenes, and donating heavily to the candidates and causes near and dear to his heart. Not since 2004 when he donated $27 million to defeat then president George W Bush has the 86-year-old given so generously to candidates and various causes. After the 2004 election Soros took a step back and didn't donate quite so much to political causes. Not necessarily because he was disheartened by the outcome, but because he felt that no one person should be able to influence the country's politics. Which is why he pledged $5,000 to End Citizens United. Pushing for campaign finance reforms that will keep political candidates from being "bought" by a few wealthy investors.
This time around George Soros is as motivated by stopping Donald Trump, who he has accused of "doing the work of ISIS", as in helping long time friend Hillary Clinton. He has given $25 million to the Clinton campaign as well as to other Democratic candidates. Among the causes he feels deeply about are immigration reform, and abortion rights. He has given $1.5 million to each candidate for the Senate that supports Planned Parenthood as well as to super PACs that support abortion rights. He has also donated $5 million to the super PAC Immigrant Voters Win on project-syndicate.org, $5 million to the nonprofit organization Voting Rights Trust, and $2 million to the voter mobilization group America Votes.
There are many things a billionaire can do with his money. George Soros chooses to invest in the causes he feels are just. He understands the risks of investing but feels sometimes the rewards are worth the risks. When fighting for the rights of others who cannot fight for themselves the risks are well worth fighting for. In 2005 Soros played an important role in the formation and launch of the Democracy Alliance. This very private club of wealthy liberals works to move money from short-term fights to long-term battles outside of party lines. The causes they help are issues not necessarily within the Democratic Party, but important to many of its members. Important issues like income inequality or climate change. They also deal with the problem of big money in politics. The very real danger a few wealthy individuals can influence the laws of the country with their bank accounts.
It is said that you can tell what is important to a person by where they spend their money. George Soros may have been born in Hungry, but he is an American who loves his country. He's seen how one man with too much power can harm a nation and its people. By donating to the causes and candidates he believes in he uses his wealth for good.

Halli hallo!
Well, I haven't written for a few weeks now. Sorry, I know I should
have, here's an update on what's happened over the past few weeks.
So, on July 18, I went to the doctor to have a pin removed from my
leg. I went in, and the surgery was simple, quick, and relatively
painless. I came back the next day for a check up, and they told me
that there was an infection in my leg. They started treating it, but
it was spreading to quickly and the antibiotics they gave me to take
orally weren't having any effect. On Friday, July 22, the doctor told
me he had done all he could do, and I needed to go to the hospital.
This was a little upsetting, but my first thoughts were, "ok, this
isn't a big deal, I'll be there for maybe a day or two, and be out on
Sunday in time to jump into the baptismal font with Sebastian." Well,
I got there, and the doctor in the hospital told me they needed to
operate in order to clean out the infection, they would be attaching a
pump to my leg to slowly suck out infected fluids, and that I would
need to stay for 8-10 days. Ouch. That means another surgery and more
hospital time. It also meant that i wouldn't be able to attend
Sebastian's baptism.
Now, let me tell you something about Sebastian. When I first broke my
ankle and I found out I would be going to the office I was devastated.
I didn't want to do office work, I didn't want to have a broken ankle,
I just wanted to find, teach, and baptize. The Lord new the desires of
my heart, and he prepared a way for those desires to become a reality.
On my first Sunday in the Lankwitz, Berlin ward, I was walking into
elders quorum with my crutches, and another member from Thailand, who
also was on crutches, sat down next to me and said "yes, now I have a
friend." This member, Panu, is so amazing, and he has an amazing
family, and he makes me a little bit jealous of Elder Gremillion and
Elder Smith-Driggs who get to serve with The amazing Thai people. But
only a little bit ;). After Elders quorum Panu turned to me, and he
told me that his son, Yoshi, had brought a friend with him to church,
and that he wanted me and my companion to teach him. There were two
other companionships in the ward who had been there longer and knew
the family better, but they asked me and my companion to teach him. We
started off, and he made so much progress. He understood everything so
well, and after our second appointment he accepted our invitation to
be baptized. He picked out a date, and by July 24 he was ready, and he
was baptized. He initially asked me to baptize him, which is why I was
rather upset about having to be in the hospital, but in the long run
it's not about who performs the baptism, it's about him making a
covenant with our Heavenly Father.
After I couldn't be at the baptism, Sebastian asked if I would be
there to confirm him. I thought for sure that I would be out of the
hospital by the next Sunday, July 31, but at the time I still had a
tube in my leg sucking out all the gunk. I really, really wanted to be
there, and the Lord provided a way. I got permission to leave the
hospital for a few hours to attend sacrament meeting, where I
confirmed Sebastian a member of die Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen
der letzten Tage, and I gave him the gift of the Holy Ghost. It was an
amazing day, and it showed me that nothing can come in between the
Lord's work, and it showed me that the Lord loves all of his children.
After the spiritual high that was associated with the confirmation, I
went back to the hospital, where I still am today. I've been here for
over two weeks now, they've performed 4 surgeries, I've had 25 needles
stuck in me, I've received 50+ bottles of antibiotics intravenously,
I've swallowed over 200 pills, and I've seen the hand of the Lord help
me, and support me through this trial. He's also helped me to spread
the gospel with those in the Hospital. I was able to testify of the
power of the Book of Mormon to one of my roommates' wife, who then
accepted the book and wants to learn more. I've also answered
countless questions about the church from the nurses, doctors, and
other patients. Everything from "why don't you drink coffee" to "who
is Thomas S. Monson?" All in all, I've learned a lot from my stay
here. I'll hopefully be released on Monday, so I can enjoy the last
week of the transfer with my companion and with my work.
The Lord has done a lot of things to help me keep my spirits high, and
to pass the time. I've had visitors come every day I've been here,
something I'm so grateful for because the nurses told me that visitors
usually don't come that often. I've had members, missionaries, even
the wife of a seventy came to say hello, and to bear her testimony,
and I'm so grateful that the Lord sent these loving people to help me.
The nurses and doctors here have also been extremely kind to me,
something else that I'm super grateful for. I've also had some really
cool roommates. My current is a retired professional soccer player.
He's fun, we get along well.
The biggest lesson I've learned is definitely a lesson of patience. In
one of his visits, President Fingerle was talking to me about
patience, and he reminded me of they saying, "pray to have patience,
to endure what you can't change, pray to have power, to change what
you can change, and pray to have wisdom, so you can discern which is
which." This is a situation that I currently can't change, and I think
the Lord is using it to teach me to have more patience. The current
plan is for me to be released on Monday, which with make the original
8-10 day estimate into 8+10 days ;) but it's fine. As long as my leg
heals, and I can get back to work.
I love you all, thank you for all of the prayers and support that
you've sent my way, bis aufs Wiedersehen!
LG Elder Oliphant

temporary replacement, elder Oliver

my neck is the pump.

My roommate, the profi Fußballer
A few more emails:
Well, when I first got here they took the plate out that was
stabilizing my bone so that there was no chance that any infection
could travel underneath the plate where the doctors couldn't get to
it. Because they took it out, the bone is naturally now not as stable
as it would have been, so I have to wait a little longer. But, this
week I started putting a little weight on it during physical therapy.
Next week the doctor said I can start to put my full weight on it
again. I have to stay until Monday because of the antibiotics that I
still need to receive through an IV. Yes I'll write a real letter
today. I'm trying to stay in good spirits, but I've been been here for
over two weeks now, and it's getting kind of hard, but I get a lot of
visitors, at least one every day, and I read a lot in the scriptures,
which helps a lot. The biggest thing I've learned is to have patience
with things that you can't control. I'll write more about that later.

Dude! Elder Charles just visited me and we had a personal interview!
That was really cool

Desert Plants to Avoid for Pet Safety September 30 2015
I just read a great article in the Desert Sun, Desert Plants to Avoid for Pet Safety by Dr. Gail Cutler who just happens to be our "Family Doctor" about desert plants that are common in in Desert Landscaping that can be toxic or poisonous to dogs and cats. Its so important that I thought I'd list the plants here and share below the link to the full article in you want to read more.
1. Lily Family Plants – especially important for cats
2. Sago Palm Trees – their seeds are very poisonous
3. Oleander
4. Mexican or Red Bird of Paradise
5. Lantana
6. Aloe – this one surprised me.
7. Hibiscus
8. Citrus leaves, flowers or fruit
Common Desert Plants that my look poisonous but are not:
1. Pyarcantha
2. Bouganvilla
3. Most Cacti -although the thorns can be painful
4. Mesquite Tree Pods
To read more about the effects and dangers of these plants, read her full article at:
Thanks Dr. Cutler and Thank you for reading this. I hope it helps us keep our fur-babies safe.

Doctor Who. All others things come second. But then of course, LEGO.
All the complaining reminds me why it's usually unpleasant trying to engage with fellow fans. Sigh. Well, I think it looks great, and I'm going to enjoy adding it to my City streets.
Nope. Commercially, very late '40s-early '50s. Experimental models existed prior to that, but wouldn't have turned up in a corner garage apartment. :)
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
arnoldtblumberg replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO TownCafe Corner came out in April. Fire Brigade was September. Grand Emporium, Town Hall, and Palace Cinema, March. Pet Shop, May. So I know we've had a lot of successive January releases lately, but there's also plenty of precedent for it not to be January. Just saying.n
[PRESS RELEASE] 75192 - UCS Millennium Falcon 2017
arnoldtblumberg replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Star WarsMine arrived today - outer shipping box, inner box with the label for shops warning them not to shelve it before 10/1, and then the display box itself. This thing is HUGE! And so HEAVY! :D
[PRESS RELEASE] 75192 - UCS Millennium Falcon 2017
arnoldtblumberg replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Star WarsTo be fair, and especially after posting in frustration about the difficulties, I should update that I appear to have successfully gotten an order for 1 to go through. We'll see how it goes, but that was way too difficult a process to hand someone so much money.
[PRESS RELEASE] 75192 - UCS Millennium Falcon 2017
arnoldtblumberg replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Star WarsWon't even let me sign in now. This is just ridiculous. Sigh. What a poorly handled rollout. Back in, in my bag, won't let me check out. If they wanted this to be so frustrating it made you rethink paying them money, they're succeeding.
[PRESS RELEASE] 75192 - UCS Millennium Falcon 2017
arnoldtblumberg replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Star WarsWow, and their customer service number is busy. A major company rolling out a product shouldn't be failing at it this badly. Not when we're ridiculously ready to give them so much money. And now they've shut down the entire VIP login: "Our LEGO ID® service is currently unavailable. Please check again later."
[PRESS RELEASE] 75192 - UCS Millennium Falcon 2017
arnoldtblumberg replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Star WarsExtremely angry. Item went live, went un-live, went into shopping bag, wouldn't let me check out. Now it won't even let me stay signed in as VIP. You hype this thing, make sure your site can handle it!
75827 Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters Discussion
arnoldtblumberg replied to kelceycoe's topic in LEGO Licensedhttp://shop.lego.com...dquarters-75827 Whoa! $500!!! I thought it was going to be $350, which was a huge enough price. Now I'm rethinking this... :( EDITED TO ADD: I'm still seeing $349.99 on press releases, could the store site have it wrong (I hope)? EDITED AGAIN: It appears I was looking at the Australian site, sorry for the panic on my end. But I wonder why typing Lego.com into my broswer took me to the AU site and not the US this time? Very odd!
Note the cleverness here too. Granted you can currently only get the 12th in his proper outfit (or one of them) via Dimensions, but by doing the Capaldi figure here post-regeneration, that means they've packed in the ability for people to have BOTH main 11th Doctor figures - one in his tweed, and with a quick head swap in his purple Victorian gear! :)
Entire premiere events related to Doctor Who now happen here (especially in New York). It's a global phenomenon. A lot of the most recent big reveals of various Who-related media have taken place at US comic and pop culture conventions like NY and San Diego.

The Difference Between a Medical Assistant and a Physician Assistant
When seeking a degree in medical assisting in Cheyenne, WY, people can become confused about the variety of different assistants that can be found in the medical field. Two of the positions that people believe are the same are medical assistants and physician assistants. Yet these two career fields are very different due to the level of responsibilities undertaken.
What Medical Assistants do
Medical assistants can obtain training at a number of career colleges, including those in Cheyenne, WY and Longmont, CO. They can perform clerical and clinical duties in a wide range of medical offices and settings. They may take appointments, handle the billing and coding, remove sutures, record patient information and perform other duties. A medical assistant cannot examine or diagnose patients in regards to the types of medical conditions the person may have. While a medical assistant can make referrals for prescription medications for the patient, they cannot prescribe any type of medication for the patient to take.
What Physician Assistants do
Physician assistants can perform medical exams and certain procedures while under the supervision of a surgeon or physician. They will perform patient exams, offer medical treatment and discuss healthcare concerns with patients. The physician assistant may also order lab work performed, prescribe medications and review the patient's medical history. The types of work that the physician assistant can do under supervision or with no supervision will be based on the medical practice they work for and state laws.
Why Work Duties Seem to Overlap
When a person is performing medical assisting in Cheyenne, it may seem like they are performing the same duties as a physician assistant. Yet people have to pay closer attention to the type of tasks that are being completed. They also have to see how the assistant is being supervised in the medical facility.
A medical assistant will take down medical information and update medical records, while a physician assistant will use the information in the medical record to help make a diagnosis. While a physician assistant will order lab work done and analyze the results, it is the medical assistant that will prepare the lab tests and do basic tests. Also, a physician assistant will prescribe medication while a medical assistant will give referrals for prescription medications.
Understanding the differences between a medical assistant and a physician assistant will allow a person to pick the right career path when getting their diploma or degree from a Longmont, CO or Cheyenne, WY college. They can then get involved in the medical career that interests them the most.

Jonas Gutierrez is in South Africa right now in the Argentina squad and they had a good win against Nigeria 1-0 last Saturday, with Jonas in the unfamiliar position of right back.
Jonas Gutierrez – on duty for Argentina
Jonas will need a rest before he reports back to Newcastle for pre-season training, whatever Argentina do during the World Cup. The Newcastle manager will certainly not want to see Gutierrez suffer from the effects of the tournament in South Africa.
When Jonas does return to Newcastle he will be eased slowly back into Newcastle's friendlies, during the build-up to our important return to the Premiership.
Hughton told the Evening Chronicle today:
"What he will do is come back later than the rest.""It's important that he comes back injury-free, and we hope he has a good World Cup."
"The most important thing is that he comes back injury-free – that's a must."
"We, of course, will have to make decisions regarding when he comes back, depending on how far he goes in the competition."
Jonas looked a little vulnerable ar right back on Saturday, and in the first 15 minutes of the Argentine game with Nigeria, the Newcastle winger was turned over twice, and left for dead.
But after that shaky start he played quite well – but he looked what he is – and that's not a right back. 😀
Argentina play South Korea in their next Group B game in Johannesburg tomorrow, and we fully expect Jonas to start that game, but it may not be at right back.
Hughton added:
"Of course, we want him to have a good World Cup.""It's a very personal thing. If he comes back here in a more confident mood than not, it's going to be a bonus for us."
Gutierrez made 47 appearances for club and country last season and the 26 year-old had an excellent season in which he scored 4 goals for the club – and the Argentine looked an excellent player and fully committed to Newcastle United.
Chris continued:
"What we saw from him last season was, perhaps, the areas we felt he needed to improve – of course assists, and, ultimately, goals."
"He added that to his game, but we still feel, for somebody of his ability, he should score more goals."
"It's a tougher ask in the Premier League, but what he has done now is broken that duck, and I think he'll be looking forward to scoring more goals."
Hughton is a terrific coach, and we just love the way he tells each of his players the areas in which they need to improve, while at the same time letting them know they are already very good players.
His man management skills of the Newcastle players last season was almost at the level that the great Sir Bobby Robson communicated with his players.
And it's hardly surprising that Hughton is a big big fan of the former Newcastle manager – a legend not only on Tyneside but in football around the world.
Chris has often talked of feeling the presence of the late great Bobby, as he uses the same office and desk that Bobby had at the Benton training headquarters.
We love Bobby Robson, and have him next to Chris on our new banner for this site.
Comments are always welcome.

Critique Service Gift Vouchers
Are you ever stumped over what to get the writer in your life on those special occasions — Christmas, birthdays, Valentine's Day, or just to show you care? Or, if you are a writer, have you ever wanted someone to give you the gift of an in-depth critique on your work? If the answer to either question is yes, look no further.
On this page you (or your loved ones, if nudged in this direction) can purchase gift vouchers in various denominations, as per the drop down menu below. After payment, please email firstname.lastname@example.com with PURCHASE OF GIFT VOUCHER in the subject line. In the body of the email, please provide the following information:
· Name of purchaser (as you would like it to appear on the voucher)
· Name of recipient

· State whether the voucher should be emailed to the purchaser or recipient
· If to the recipient, please supply the destination email address
How to redeem your critique gift voucher
Send an email to email@example.com with the gift voucher number in the subject line. Attach the work to be critiqued as a Word or PDF file.
Within two weeks, you will receive a report covering manuscript presentation, title, opening paragraphs, story resolution, dialogue, characterisation and an overall assessment.
You also get back the original document marked up with track changes to show my comments and advice directly on the text. The critiques cover not only where improvements are needed, but also detail what it is that you are doing right! This is something that is often overlooked when work is appraised, but it is an important aspect in a writer's progress.
The critique service is based on the following rates:
Flash Fiction: (up to 1,000 words) ......................£15
Short Fiction: (1,001 to 3,000 words) ................£30

Lorraine's critique was very helpful indeed, showing me where I needed to strengthen my story and offering me insights to take away and consider. An objective reader is so valuable, and I felt the cost was well worth paying after investing so much time putting the story together. Lorraine's experience as a reader, judge and story expert shines through. I will use her services again without hesitation.
Ruby Cowling
After using several critique services with some disappointment, I tried Lorraine Mace, with Flash500 stories first, and then with longer short story MS and I recommend her without reserve. The full-page report on structure, character, plot, and other key elements is thorough and professional. There are also line-by-line editorial comments using Word review programme which is a great way to learn as well as to improve a particular story: Lorraine misses nothing. Most important for me though is her 'eye for story'; her capacity to see deeply into the potential of a story you have only been skirting around without realising it. Eagle-eyed she is but her feedback is constructive and encouraging, and she responds to a request for clarification – not all critique services do that. She sticks to her estimated turn-around time too.
Trish Nicholson
When I began to write a novel for 9-12 year olds I was unsure of my ability so, not wanting to waste time and effort I turned to Lorraine for support. I can't praise her comments highly enough. She helped me through the basics of presentation and lay-out, and she posed questions which made me think very carefully about characters, plot and pace. An added bonus was the speed of her response. I wrote and re-wrote in line with her guidance and I know that my writing improved as a result.
Mavis Gulliver
Comments by recipients of Flash 500 critiques
Many thanks for your clear and very helpful feedback. I can see I have lots to improve on but I console myself this was my first attempt at flash fiction – hopefully, I can only get better!
The critique I received was 100% honest and professional, I could not ask for more.
Thank you very much for your very valuable comments!
Thanks once again for the critique and for your comments, much appreciated.
I appreciate your insight...I found it to be TREMENDOUSLY helpful. You gave me some really valuable information I can use to improve my stories.
Once again, thank you for your critiques. As always they are extremely helpful and I am more than happy to receive any kind of criticism, that will help me improve my writing.
This is great, very informative. It's great to know what the problems with this story are, seems obvious now that you've pointed them out to me but at the same time I am grateful to you for highlighting the errors I make in my writing as now I can work on making my stories better.
It's a really useful critique with lots of ideas where I can make improvements.
I'm very new to writing stories and your insights are both excellent and helpful. And good value for money too.
Thank you for my critiques. You have been very thorough and given me lots to think about before I submit my entries for the next Flash500 competition. I have a friend who also writes but refuses to submit anything for critique, which I think is a real shame. You can learn so much from professional advice.
Thanks for such an encouraging and detailed critique. Great help.
Thank you so much for your critique, tips and useful comments. I have only just started to find the time to write, although I have been wanting to for many years, so your feedback was really lovely and inspirational.
Another great crit, thanks. I do feel I'm inching forward each time! Now going to reread a 'chatty' short story I've just finished to see if I can root out any lurking 'telling'!
Thank you for the thoughtful and helpful critique. I will bear your advice in mind and keep working on my weaknesses (and improving my strengths, I hope!)
Thank you for this valuable critique. I agree with nearly all your points and perhaps this story is more suited to a longer word limit so that the characters can be fleshed out.
Thank you very much for the critique. I found your comments and suggestions extremely useful, thank you.
Thanks very much for the feedback- really useful! I'm a total beginner when it comes to writing fiction, hence the basic mistakes. Lots to learn, but really appreciate the critique.
Comments from users of other outlets where I provide a critique service
Please pass on my appreciation to Loraine for her excellent critique of my short story. I will take her critical comments and try to improve for next time.
Please convey my thanks to Lorraine - I find her critique very helpful and encouraging.
I really appreciated your critique and have taken note. I will work on the story over time and see how it improves.
Thank you for the critique. Please pass on my thanks to Lorraine Mace for her excellent suggestions.
Please pass my thanks for this very helpful critique to Lorraine.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. I wasn't disheartened in the least by your critique; in fact I found it very encouraging. I began writing, or trying to write, in September last year, and in December I decided to stop hiding behind my computer screen. I'm not one for self delusion; I know where I am right now with regards to writing, and I also know I can't get better without professional feedback and guidance.
Could you pass on a big thank you to Lorraine for the critique, I can learn a lot from her comments.
Many thanks for this, and please pass on my thanks also to Lorraine Mace. Her critique is, as always, very much appreciated.
Many thanks for forwarding Lorraine Mace's very helpful critique of my story. I shall work on the plot layers for both this story and others. I also found the link she provided for guidance on presentation very useful, since I've never had this type of help before.
Please pass on my thanks to Lorraine Mace for her critique on my work. I very much appreciate her comments and advice which I will use in my writing in the future.
Please send on my thanks to Lorraine Mace for the helpful and constructive comments.
Many thanks again for your honest critique, it was very helpful.

We make reusable menstrual pads for girls
What we do...
Since 2011 The MoonCatcher Project has been making reusable, washable menstrual management kits - "MoonCatcher Kits" - for distribution to girls around the world.
Our activities and efforts range from sewing bees - "MoonBees" - in the US to on-the-ground education and MoonCatcher production and/or distribution in Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, Liberia, Pakistan, Honduras, and Haiti. Here is a brief snapshot of the work we do:
MoonBees: Hosted in cities across the country, our sewing bees bring together diverse groups of volunteers who make MoonCatcher Kits for distribution either locally or to girls around the globe. Sign up for MoonCatcher Updates to find out about our next MoonBee, or reach out to our founder Ellie to inquire about hosting a MoonBee or donating supplies (including Tyvek envelopes, thread, or fabric).
Menstrual Management and Reproductive Health Classes: With our partners in Africa, we offer classes on menstruation management and reproductive health to school girls entering puberty.
On-the-Ground Sewing Cooperatives: In close partnership with other non-profit and faith organizations, we are empowering communities to build local sewing and soap-making cooperatives and make MoonCatcher Kits for their own communities using donated supplies and materials. Our current partners include: African Orphans Educational Trust, Bridges to Malawi, East Africa Community Organization, The Giving Circle, The Asian Rural Institute, Westminster Presbyterian Church, The Unitarian Universalist Society of Schenectady and Woman with a Purpose in Uganda,
If you work for an organization and would like to discuss opportunities for collaboration please send us a note - we'd love to hear from you.

Groos opened in 2013 as a design concept store in Rotterdam selling only products made by Rotterdam designers. Not your typical souvenir store with cups saying: 'I love Rotterdam', but more special items. Socks by Alfredo Gonzales, diaries made by Marjolein Delhaas, vases of Foekje Fleur and bags by Susan Bijl. The location of Groos was risky at that time. But the last couple of years the Schieblock changed into a hub with cool bars, clubs and restaurants with the yellow bridge connecting it all. As time went by the owners thought it was time to do something new. To take Groos (a Rotterdam word for being proud) up a level.
So they moved to another location. Inside the happening Industriegebouw where young creative companies work together with MVRDV, one of the most inspiring architecture office of The Netherlands. And known for De Markthal, the Chanel store in Amsterdam and more recently the Seoul Sky Garden. As MVRDV is obviously also a 'groos' member of the Rotterdam arts- and design community they decided to help Groos with the interior. Now they don't have several islands with products any more, as everything is collected in the huge metal cabinet MVRDV designed for them.
Art & Design
Of course they still sell Alfredo Gonzalez socks, and the Foekje Fleur vases are clearly visible in the cabinet. But they like to focus on more art and upscale design too. Just check out the pink wall and see the island in the middle with chairs, tables and lamps. All designed by Rotterdam designers.
