After years of trying, crying and ripping out, I have finally completed two socks! How satisfying!
I must thank Christie for the kick in the pants -- that is her hand-written recipe. She has knit socks for every member of my family (plus those cute little sweaters still hanging on our fireplace mantle!) and they all love them, so I thought I would try to knit another pair for everyone. But don't hold your breath.
Christie's little sweaters:
Yarn: KnitPicks Stroll Handpainted, County Fair
Needles: dpn's, size 2
Pattern: Christie's
Time: (This is always Clay's big question -- How long does it take to make these? I will just tell you this -- if I sold these, and charged even minimum wage for my time, you couldn't afford them!) I am going to guess that each sock took me about 10-12 hours. Of course, those hours were scattered over several months.
Cute little toes:
Cute little heels (look, they make a rainbow! Yes, finishing these has made me rather giddy!)
Not-so-cute little cuffs. I goofed. Sock #1 (on the left) had a tidy little k3, p1 ribbing, but when I cast on and started Sock #2, I wasn't thinking, and did a k2, p2, and didn't realize it until I was halfway down the leg. Boo.
What I have learned: 1) Measure. While I thought I was making these for me (since I knew they would have a few mistakes), Clay thought I was making them for him. (Really? Do these look like Clay colors?) He tried the first sock on, and said, "Great work, but it could be a little longer in the foot." (First clue he thought they were for him.) "Would you wear these?" "Sure," he said. (Second clue.) So, I made the second sock longer, then ripped out the toe of sock #1 and knit in 10 more rows. But I never did measure his foot, as I should have. He hasn't tried these on yet, but crossing my fingers they fit! (I still will be surprised if he ever wears them out of the house -- these might be at-home wear, like his kilt!)
2) Knit both socks at the same time. I think if I knit one cuff, then the other, then one leg, then the other, etc.,etc., etc., I would have a better chance of them looking just the same.
3) The most important lesson I learned is that I want to knit more socks. I have two more skeins of the Stroll in my yarn bin, plus I am wondering if the yarn Clay brought me from India might make good socks? (Did you read his blog post about wandering through alleys trying to find yarn for me? That is love.)
While I didn't get that endorphin rush that many sock knitters seem to have, they were an enjoyable, easy-to-carry-around project that I know the recipients will appreciate -- hand-knit socks are like a loving hug on your feet. Sappy, but true.

Two Whole Socks -- A Goal Accomplished!
Posted by Georgiann Coons at 6:24 AM
2 comments:
I'm so impressed by people who can knit socks, sweaters, etc -- all I could ever knit was a straight line :) These look wonderful!ReplyDelete
Measure twice, knit once... I have my last pair I made (#7 I think) with one cuff about 1/2 to 1 inch longer than the other. The sad thing was, I started at the toe and work toward the cuff. My hubby still thinks I will fix it, but I haven't yet and probably won't. No one will ever notice, but it means I cannot put them in the fair.ReplyDelete

Kim Kardashian's Hair Loss Problem
Kim Kardashian's Hair Loss
Kim Kardashian's hair loss and how we can help her with it. Hair loss was a topic once reserved for only men, but these days it is obvious that it does not only affect men. Kim Kardashian's hair has again showing hair loss due to her use of hair extensions during her pregnancy. The 35-year-old is usually seen with a shinny thick head of hair using extensions. However she was seen with her hair up tightly after her workout showing her hair loss spots. Kim appears to have actually created issue by trying to hide her hair loss by using weaves, which have actually caused her more problems. Like most women her hair loss might have begun after her first pregnancy. Postpartum Alopecia takes place in women 2 to four months after giving birth. Use of hair extensions during pregnancy can increase hair loss due to increase normally changes. During this time, it is best to use an organic hair product to allow the pores to breathe and to give the hair follicles with the right nutrients, vitamins and mineral. This will keep the moisture in and prevent hair loss during this time. Instead of treating the hair loss prior to having her child, Kim chose to use weaves to cover up her problem. It is absolutely vital to keep up a healthy scalp during pregnancy to prevent problems like Kim's. Most women will suffer from hair loss for about 6 months after their pregnancy without the proper hair care.
To cut the amount of hair fall after pregnancy, it is recommended to give your hair with the proper vitamins and nutrients. Kim mentions that she limits herself to shampooing once about 3 to 4 time a week to prevent her hair from losing moisture. There are natural shampoos that can actually give the hair follicles and hair shaft with moisture while still cleaning the hair. These natural and organic hair products can actually heal the scalp and hair from damages. Excessive tension to the hair shaft and use of chemical hair products will make things worst for anyone's hair. Kim also mentions she tries to use hair masks to help keep her hair moisturizer. Using a natural hair treatment will help to keep up healthy hair and to give the hair with necessary moisture that will stay locked in. We have a proposal for Kim Kardashian, we have a product that can help stop hair loss and regrow hair. If Kim is not happy about the results, we can offer $10,000 to her favorite charity.
Ancient Secrets
has been in business since 2003 and has worked with many customers including Dr. Fulton who is a famous dermatologist for co-finding Retin-A. We know that we can help with Kim Kardashian's hair loss.

By Abdulwahab Abdulah
Ndokwa Youth Con gress (NYC) in Delta State has accused the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC)Â of relinquishing its social responsibility, by allegedly treating the host communities with disdain in refusing to heed presidential directive that it stepped down electricity for Ndokwa communities.
To this end, the youths have issued a 60-day ultimatum to the company by which their demands to step down electricity for their community be met.
The youths, who gave the warning at a press conference in Lagos, said the company has neglected its social responsibility to Ndokwa people of Delta State, on whose soil the company has operated for over 40 years.
"The failure of NAOC to step down electricity for the Ndoka nation is a deliberate slight not only against the Ndokwa nation, but the very fabric of our sovereignty- the constituted authority.
"The NYC recollects that at the commissioning of the IPP on April 1, 2005, former President Olusegun Obasanjo gave a presidential directive to NAOC to immediately commence the step down of electricity for our people.â€
The NYC also rejected the National Gas Master Plan for not mentioning Ndokwa community, which the group claimed was host to Nigeria's largest gas deposit and home to the multi-billion dollar Okpai Independent Power Project (IPP), operated by the NAOC.
The IPP, according to them, currently generates 448 megawatts of electricity to the national grid.
At the conference, addressed by, Chimennma Kessington Okolo, NYC President and other members of the group's executive, called for immediate address of developmental problems of the Ndokwa people and review of the National Gas Master Plan which was presented recently.
Hinging their arguments on their persistent calls on the oil company to recognize the people of the area they said the time is now for NAOC to address the injustice against the communities.
The youths gave a 60-day ultimatum within which their demands should be met, failing which "we will be compelled to take drastic actions to ensure we get what rightfully belongs to our people.â€
"The Ndokwa nation despite tremendous provocation has remained the most peaceful oil and gas producing ethnic nationality in the Niger Delta without any history of oil related violence, attacks on oil facilities, pipeline vandalism, hostage taking or kidnaping for ransom,†Okolo said.
"However, our peaceful disposition appears to have been taken for granted especially by the NAOC…. Let us state without equivocation that patience has its limit and our patience with the NAOC has ran out. Is it not the height of provocation that for the Ndokwa nation to have sited in her territory such a mega project as the Okpai IPP and have it stepped down in faraway Obosi, a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul? Today whereas other areas enjoy the electricity from our backyard with our gas resources, we are left to live in absolute darkness.â€
Okolo also accused the NAOC of refusing to meet with Ndokwa people to iron things out as directed by the Delta State Government, adding: "Perhaps the NAOC has mistaken our peaceful disposition for cowardice and abdication of our sovereign and inalienable right to good corporate practice from it.â€

An die Musik
Yesterday I ate lunch outside on the sidewalk to enjoy yet another beautiful spring day. While I ate, I read from my book on 19th century German lied. Yes, I'm a music geek. While I read an account of Brahms singing his own Vier ernste Gesange shortly after Clara Schumann's death, I became overwhelmed. Apparently, the gruff exterior he wore as a front to hide his tender heart came down and his hoarse voice choked with emotion. It's no wonder sometimes I feel as though Brahms wrote for me. Sometimes I feel like I know him, or at least know how he may have felt at the time he wrote a song. This is the true power of music: to convey feeling, emotion, the human condition. Sometimes this occurs on a grand scale, and sometimes it's a subtle comunication between men living centuries apart.
At any rate, I had trouble controlling the tears running down my face as I ate my sub and continued to read.

Brian Fettes Davison
The lights on the scoreboard at the Wanderers in Johannesburg twinkled merrily in the gathering gloom and a crowd of 12 000 hushed in expectation as Eastern Province fast bowler Kenny Watson ran up to deliver.
A packed off-side field hardly had time to move before the ball struck the boundary boards. The crowd erupted and a flood of well-wishers invaded the field to shower one Brian Davison with congratulations.
The Rhodesian batsman had just compiled what must rate as his finest century. The scene was the 1978 Datsun Shield final and Davison, aided by left-hander Brian Barbour, had guided Rhodesia to their first major South African cricket trophy.
Among the spectators who rushed on to the Wanderers turf that afternoon was an Indian who put a R10 note into Davison's pocket, saying, "You are my saviour — you've won me money in a bet."
The lusty hitting of Chris Wilkins and Lorrie Wilmot and the grace of Graeme Pollock, who had earlier guided Eastern Province to a total of 227-8, paled into insignificance once Davison got into his stride.
It was the sort of innings that made Davison a draw card for Leicestershire in the English County championship and for Rhodesia in the Currie Cup. It was controlled aggression, punctuated with drives of great power off both the front and back foot.
Davison and Barbour had come together with Rhodesia reeling at a miserable 81-5. Not even the most ardent Rhodesian supporter believed that Eastern Province could lose.
But, 135 runs later, with Davison undefeated on 102, Rhodesia were on 216-5 and won the Shield on a better run-rate and runs-per-wicket calculation. Had the umpires not ended play early because of bad light, Rhodesia would undoubtedly have passed the Eastern Province total.
In any event, it did not matter. The light was very bad, but Davison, stepping down the wicket to drive the seamers, was unconcerned. There was no danger to the batsmen and the umpires were concerned about the safety of the fielders when they called off play. Davison was hitting the ball so hard that there was a real danger to fieldsmen attempting to cut off runs in the gloom.
It was Davison's finest hour and the standing ovation he received from an uncommitted crowd composed largely of Transvalers was just reward for his efforts.
Yes, we will all remember Davison for that innings but there is no doubt that he was one of the finest cricketers produced by Rhodesia in a first-class career which started with his national debut against Natal B in 1967.
Brian Fettes Davison was born at Bulawayo on 21 December 1946 and encouraged by an enthusiastic father, he worked his way through Hillside Junior and Gifford Technical High School teams to make the Rhodesian Nuffield XI in 1964-65 along with other future national players like Duncan Fletcher, Tommy Dunk, Richie Kaschula, Stuart Robertson and John Traicos.
Davison can lay claim to be the father of professionalism in Rhodesian cricket for, after two seasons — then in the B Section of the Currie Cup — he travelled to England 'to broaden his outlook on life generally'.
But as was later established, young 'Davo' was really there to attempt to force his way into big cricket. When money ran short — as it did from time to time — he was pleased to turn out occasionally by invitation for the Northants 2nd XI.
Leicestershire officials were keeping an interested eye on young Davison and after he had averaged 52,33 with a top score of 73 in four innings he moved to the Grace Road Ground at Leicester.
It was the 1969 English season, and he batted eight times for the Leicestershire 2nd XI at an average of 33,55 which led to an offer of a contract to join the county 1st XI for the 1970 season. He turned out for his adopted county from 1970 to 1980, having made the breakthrough into the first team by mid-August of that first season and having a more than satisfactory debut in a County
championship match against Northamptonshire.
He made seven first team appearances that season and returned to Rhodesia for the 1970-71 season a mature and much wiser cricketer for the experience. Davison joined a reconstituted Rhodesian team under their new captain Mike Procter and was instrumental in helping the side return to the A Section.
That season was a milestone for Davison. Not only did he return an average of 60,25 but he also recorded his maiden first-class century — an undefeated 137 which included three sixes and fifteen fours, against Griqualand West at Kimberley.
Davison was developing into an aggressive, fast-scoring batsman and he really blossomed in his second season with Leicestershire when he returned there for the 1971 English County championship.
He scored 1 280 runs in 47 matches but his real glory was the season's fastest century — scored in only 63 minutes. His approach to the game brought him success in the limited overs leagues and against Warwickshire he pounded 158 not out with his 150 coming up in 92 minutes.
But his ability to score quickly came to the fore in a double wicket competition in Rhodesia in 1972 after another successful season with Leicestershire. He hit 50 in 13 minutes and his century in 27 with 10 sixes and 9 fours. In his second match he hit 50 in 18 minutes and his total runs for the day came to 244 in a total batting time of 79 minutes.
And so it is easy to understand the aura of expectancy that settled over crowds in England and Southern Africa whenever Davison strode to the wicket to begin an innings.
But he could not pull it off every time and a run of poor innings from Davison was not uncommon. Cricket followers in Rhodesia often slated him — he was the man they loved to hate when he was unsuccessful. Memories are short however, and each of Davison's five Currie Cup and two Datsun Shield centuries make up for the times that he disappointed his fans.
'Davo' is immensely strong and hits the ball with terrific power and although he was often considered the 'enigma of Rhodesian cricket' he achieved a great deal.
His performances overseas for Leicestershire were always being compared with what he achieved in Rhodesia where only eight big matches (Currie Cup) are played in a season. In that sort of shallow comparison his performances at home in Currie Cup cricket always looked poor.
But Davison thrives, and always will, on constant cricket — six days a week in England which allowed him to hone his game to a fine edge. In Rhodesia he was able to play one day a week between Currie Cup matches which were often separated by as much as six weeks.
He captained Rhodesia on twenty-five occasions between 1974 and 1977 and was national coach in 1976 and 1977. In a first-class career for Rhodesia spanning the seasons 1967 to 1978, Davison gained 90 caps and scored 4 480 Currie Cup runs at an average of 30,07 with his 137 against Griquas, his highest score.
His highest overall first-class score was a magnificent 189 for Leicestershire against Ian Chappell's Australians at Leicester in 1975.
A fine fielder and more than useful seamer in the early part of his career, Davison rates as one of the finest Rhodesian all-rounders and he was sadly missed by Rhodesia in the 1979-80 season when he accepted a contract to captain Tasmania in the Australian Sheffield Shield competition.
A brief summary of his career is:
Runs: 141
Average: 23.50
Runs: 126
Average: 15,75
1969-70 did not play
Runs: 241

It is going to be an interesting year in the Dutch Poultry Museum.
In addition to the regular exhibition, the auction and the fowl garden with the playground for the children, there are all kind of special activities this year.
Exposition coffee room: "Wayward eggs"
January – December
It started as a joke from Marianne Vulperhorst when she made a "portrait" with the title Oviduct – in Dutch a pun- and published it on Facebook. The enthusiastic reactions stimulated her to make many more "egg-portraits". Enjoy the funny and creative artworks of Marianne Vulperhorst in the coffee room.
Temporary exhibition of painter C.S.Th. van Gink (1890-1968): 'Not only poultry'
January – December
Fifty years ago passed away Cees van Gink. He was a famous painter, mainly known for his poultry images. However, other domestic animals such as dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs can also be seen in his oil paintings, aquarelles, gouaches and pen drawings.
Temporary exhibition P. Sluis
January – December
Sluis was a well know feed manufacturer of the last century, especially in the field of poultry and bird feed. Many will remember the famous logo. Since the beginning in 1890 P. Sluis has grown strongly, with in the heyday 275 to 300 employees and a wide range of bird and (poultry) fodder. A fascinating retrospective exhibition.
Children's Chicken Club

Look there! Kuukel!
Kuukel is the hero of the Poultry Museum. He leads the way in the search for answers to the "search letters" for the young visitors.
Always exciting!
Teaching boxes for primary schools
The Poultry Museum has teaching boxes available for lending by primary schools and destined for projects about chicken and egg. The contents of the boxes has been compiled by education experts and have connections to counting, language, writing, crafts, physical education and technology.

In 2018 the museum is open from 2 January – 29 December. Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00 hours.
Also open on Easter-Monday and Whit-Monday and on Mondays in the school holidays. The museum is closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. The fowl garden is closed from November 1 until the end of February. As compensation for that, the visitors get a free cup of coffee / tea or a soft drink.
The year 2018
This year we are open again the whole year. Here you will find a description of the fascinating temporary exhibitions that we have put together for you. The "egg-portraits" of Marianne Vulperhorst in the coffee room evoke at least a smile. Enjoy the painting of C.S.Th van Gink. Discover the story behind the once famous company of P. Sluis. Of course we keep toppers as the traditional auction.
Also for the youngsters the Poultry Museum remains interesting. The exploration letters guide them through the museum. Really cool. Participating in the traditional auction is a great experience. Do you want to be active yourself? Visit the museum in the school holidays spend your time in fiddling or painting chickens. The visit is not complete without seeing the fowl garden and spending some time at the playground.

Following the directions to Bell Tower will leave you at the base of this climb. The climb starts on the left side of the yellow arrowhead. Bolt, piton, seam, bulge, 4 more bolts to the anchors. This route is a steep crystal pincher. There is a 2nd pitch but we didn't do it. I heard tell that it was terrible and not finished. Before you rope up, make sure you're wearing your shore leave wristwatch and cuban heels and that long-sleeved shirt with horses on the front, and please leave all your papers on the Ticonderoga.

This thing is sweet! Stout, well protected, and not the usual Needles crystal pincher. Expect some big moves between good holds on steep rock. After the steepness, a pumpy jug haul leads to the chains. Get out and do it!
FA: Paul Piana, Paul Muehl, and Charlie Brumbaugh, 1990.

Our final trivia winner is a true fan of what's next
March 19, 2010
"Time sneaks up on you like a windshield on a bug." – John Lithgow
We all sense that proverbial windshield lurking behind us, which may be why we're always looking for new ways to carve out more time for the things we love.
For Sarah C., an associate at a Denver law firm, WestlawNext has provided one more way to do that.
"The great thing about WestlawNext is the less time that I spend researching, the more time I can spend outside riding my bike or skiing or running," she told Jenny at the WestlawNext preview breakfast event in the spectacular Mile-High City. (You can see the Denver video here.)
Along with that extra time, Sarah will have a boost of extra caffeine to fuel her outdoor adventures. As the fourth and final winner of our What's Next Trivia contest, she'll be receiving a $30 Starbucks gift card for correctly naming the type of hat worn by Johnny and Jenny in the Dallas and Denver videos. (It was a cowboy hat, of course.) Congratulations, Sarah!
And thanks to everyone who played along over the past several weeks. We had a blast with the videos and the trivia contest, and we hope you did too.
The John Lithgow quote came from Uncle Anthony's Unabridged Analogies: Quotes & Proverbs for Lawyers and Lecturers, which is available at a 10% discount to Westlaw Insider readers. (That means you!)

Joe's Sports and Surplus, first established by Joe Stortz in 1956 and located at 40 Queen Street East since 1976, has become something of a landmark in the downtown core, with a reputation for selling high quality outdoor adventure clothing and gear.
SooToday dropped in to visit the staff and learn more about the store, leaving them with a pair of SooToday coffee mugs.
Joe's, owned by Dave and Jen Edgar since 2009, carries a wide range of outdoor adventure clothing and gear for all seasons, including tents and other camping equipment, clothing for hunters (but not guns or ammo), hiking and fishing gear (a fur bearing trout also hangs on the wall behind the counter!) and everything a snowmobiler would need.
The store is the only Tilley hat distributor in Sault Ste. Marie, the durable hats made in Canada with a lifetime guarantee.
"'Made in Canada' is huge. A lot of people come in looking for made in Canada items," said Tabitha Whitfield, store manager.
A free pair of Darn Tough socks, also with a lifetime guarantee, comes with footwear purchases made at Joe's.
"Customer service, that's our number one priority, along with good quality merchandise," Whitfield said.
"A lot of stuff you buy online, it may be high quality as well, but you may be stuck with a hassle if you have a problem with it. We prefer over the counter service to help you."
"We're very big on that. A lot of people would rather pay a bit more here and get good customer service. You could go to a bigger store and you can't find anyone to help you. You might save a dollar but you won't be sure what you're buying. By the time you walk out of here you'll be sure what you're buying," said Yvon Filion, Joe's sales associate.
Joe's has also sold a considerable amount of merchandise over the years to students at Sault College enrolled in outdoors-oriented programs, such as fish and wildlife technician and forestry technician, and a number of the college's students have been employed by the store.
Joe's Sports and Surplus is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
The store employs seven people.

Broadview Park Minutes 12/1/2015
A meeting of the Broadview Park Civic Association was called to order by President Dan Fitzgerald at Sunview Park on Tuesday, December 1st, 2015. Officers present were Dan, Jan Washburn, Nancy Walton, Linda Flanders, Susan Robinson, Dave Nielsen, and Joyce McGinnis.
Dan announced the dates for our Christmas food drive. Santa will tour the park on Dec. 14th and 15th and we will all pitch in to sort and deliver the food on Saturday, Dec. 19th, 8 am at the firehouse. Members were reminded to bring boxes.
There was no representative from BSO at the meeting. Niki Velez, code enforcement officer, said Lt. Pisanti has retired and a new officer, Stephanie Coker, will be his replacement. Niki said they were down one code enforcement officer, but Broadview Park is scheduled to be next to have a sweep where the officers go up and down each street checking for problems and violations of code.
Copies of the Bee were distributed. Heather Cunniff brought them because they were not mailed out in time to reach residents before the meeting. Illustrations of plans for the new pocket park and the permanent building at Sunview were also circulated to the members. Rose Bickford expressed concern about the parking spaces in front of the pocket park. 50th Avenue curves at that point and she feels it will lead to accidents. It was agreed that Heather would invite Gayle Preston of the Parks Department to attend our February meeting to discuss the plans.
Gabriel Pelligrino, the new manager of Sunview Park, introduced himself to the group and invited questions.
Elaine Barrett of Waste and Recycling reported 14 code violations in the district west of 46th Avenue. People there continue to put out bulk trash on the 5th Monday of the month, because it's the last Monday, instead of on the 4th Monday which is the scheduled day. One member reported problems with the truck doing one side of the street, but failing to come back and do the other side. Elaine said to report problems to 954-474-1870 or 1880, or to her phone 954-553-0041. She said the department's clean-up in November was successful. There were 17 volunteers between BSO inmates and young people earning volunteer hours.
Heather Cunniff reported that the county is reviewing zoning categories and are changing some to make them simpler. She will give us the results at our next meeting. There will be three public meetings to discuss these changes before they are approved.
Jan said she will forward items sent to her from the county about events in the unincorporated or "Municipal Services" areas if they would be of interest to Broadview. She said most of these events are held at the African American Research Library and are directed more at the Central Broward residents rather than at Broadview. She said there will be a series of free computer classes there for anyone interested. Jan will soon be posting the scholarship application. Rose Bickford offered to be one of the judges.
Barbara Smith asked about the streetlight situation and Jan promised to check on that. Dave Nielsen said he plans to attend the Davie town meeting the following day to re-emphasize our objections to annexcation by Davie. There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned.
Jan Washburn, Secretary

The mythic foundation of National Socialism and the contemporary claim that the Nazis were Christians
This article examines the ideas of Alfred Rosenberg, the "chief ideologue" of German National Socialism. Its aim is to show that, contrary to the claims of a growing number of people encouraged by the so-called "new atheism", the Nazis held a coherent worldview that was vehemently anti-Christian. To deal with criticism of Christianity by these writers and speakers, it is necessary for Christians to become aware of the Nazi worldview and how deeply it was rooted in modern paganism.

I love my family. I really do, more than anything. My mother, who died when I was 5, loved her family and her God. I was raised, since birth, in a fairly strict conservative household, son of a Corrections Officer / Vietnam Parachute Instructor and a Catholic School Teacher. Alright, so strict is an understatement. I went to Catholic School my whole life until I enrolled at Brooklyn for my MA. My family is staunchly Roman Catholic. I'm not one to suffer in silence, in fact I'm a bit of a bitch. But with this, for my family, I sat through homily after homily about 'unconditional love and understanding' from an organization whose leader Benedict said "homosexuals are the greatest evil in the world". My Cardinal! The Cardinal of the diocese where I went to school and said "Our Fathers" and "Hail Marys" for most of my life, said religious people of all creeds need to unite against homosexuality. Well, that my friends is it.
Tonight, as amendment 1 was being passed despite some of my friends valiant efforts against it, I decided to tell my father I wouldn't be going to any more church functions. I cannot abide this organization that speaks of my ilk and I being the devil. He's stunned and I'm crying.
I sat there on Sunday, listening to a priest lecture how Jesus loves all, but those nonbelievers without Jesus will die cut off and alone.
Frankly, fuck that noise.
I'm going to the two Christenings over the next few weeks I committed to, because I love my cousins deeply, but that's it. Wedding, Baptism, Communion, Confirmation, all those fun family events are taken from me by a church of which I've done nothing to. And that's fine, but I'll be damned if I'll attend any services in a Catholic Church and make them think I support the Church's archaic homophobic homophobic bullshit.
I don't believe in lamenting regrets, but this is something I should have done long ago.
My mom died believing in Jesus and Unconditional Love, not this sham you call a 'church' wrapping hate and fear in 'the Good book'.
I'm gay. I didn't choose to be that way. I was Catholic. I chose to stop that. One day, you'll bury me, and it won't be in a Catholic Cemetery.
I'm cool with that.

I am so happy to be able to be part of such a beautiful celebration of this gorgeous couple's love via cake! :) This was a 3 tiered lemon cake with cream cheese frosting and it was all vegan! The cake is finished with gold trim and fresh white orchids.
Photographs are courtesy of Erich Chen Photography and for the full wedding post, visit Erich Chen Photography's blog (there are so many breathtaking photos, if you love weddings, you must check it out)! I also want to mention how beautiful the venue is– I scoped out the scene the night before to get ready for the delivery and we drove up to trees lit up with flowing lights dangling down from the branches, the best word to describe it was enchanting!
I also wanted to share with you that this will be the last cake order I will be fulfilling– I am officially retiring from the world of cakes to focus on creating paper goods and sharing vegan recipes and ideas on this blog! But I am really happy with how this turned out and being able to be part of Arisa and Luke's special day.
Hope you enjoy and thank you to all of you who have been so supportive of my cake venture from day 1, 6 years ago! It is greatly appreciated. It has been a really fun, stressful, and interesting journey that has allowed me to experience lots of new opportunities and meet wonderful people! If you'd like to see my previous cakes, they will still be up over at the cake blog: SweetCatastropheCakes.blogspot.com.
I leave you with a photo tutorial of how you cut a wedding cake:
And of course I had to include a picture of the beautiful lights, I love how the glow softly lights up their silhouettes!
Congrats Arisa + Luke! Wishing you both many years of laughter, love, and happiness!

Hansinator posted a topic in YZ400F/426F/450F/450FXIve had a 99' Yamaha YZ400F for about 3 years now, and its an awesome bike! bone stock and has been running well for years. i took it out a couple times over the winter and it was running badly. i assumed this was because it is not fuel injected and jetted for warm weather. i took it out a few times in warmer weather and it still runs badly. the throttle response is not very snappy like it used to be, and it backfires a lot during deceleration. it is also much louder and sounds like crackling instead of the deep sound we have all come to love. i took out the plug (which looked fine), cleaned and gapped it correctly (.029), and i took out the carburetor yesterday, cleaned it as best i could (it also looked fine when i took it out) and put it back in. i started it today and it still runs badly. i thought this was a jetting issue, but could it be that the valves need to be adjusted? it seems like its running hot to me, possibly lean but im not sure. any advice would be helpful!

When you think of some of the best superhero costumes in comics, most share one characteristic above all else – practicality. Batman has, arguably, the most famous superhero costume, and it's also one of the most practical. Every facet of his costume has a function and purpose. Iron Man, Captain America, even Spider-Man all have very practical costumes. In Iron Man's case, his suit is the definition of practical, as it's the thing that gives him his power. However, over the years, some superhero costumes have been used that leave readers scratching their heads, wondering why would a hero wear THAT?
RELATED: Dressing Down: The 15 Worst Female Costumes In Superhero Cartoons
If you're a ninja, why would you wear something brightly colored that doesn't offer any stealth? If you're a demigod warrior, wouldn't you want just a little bit of armor? Also, if you're a hand-to-hand combat specialist, do you really think that fish nets and a loose fitting, black leather jacket is the way to go? The artists who have designed these outfits were clearly thinking of iconic imagery and less about function. And no, it's not all about skimpy female costumes, either. Male superheroes have just as many ridiculous outfits. Let's take a look at 15 of the most impractical superhero costumes.
You may be thinking that Starfire is clearly only on this list because her outfit, through the decades, became a laughing stock because of how skimpy it is. While that's completely true, that's not the only reason she graces this list. When you look at Starfire's beginnings, and hear her backstory, it makes her costume even more mind-boggling. Teen Titans artist George Perez described his inspiration in her design as "Red Sonja in space." She was a princess on a planet, where she was a highly trained warrior, similar to Wonder Woman. So, why are her breasts popping out?
She was clearly created to be a sexy character, and that's fine, but don't give her a background that would suggest that she shouldn't be wearing little strips of fabric for a costume. Never mind the fact that her power list would suggest that wearing that outfit while flying at super speeds would result in countless wardrobe malfunctions. It's just a really badly designed costume.
Let's get one thing out of the way first, Jay Garrick's Flash costume is one of the most iconic costumes of any superhero. Unfortunately, it doesn't make a lick of sense. When you talk about impracticality, you have to wonder why a man with superhuman speed would wear a loose-fitting, solid metal helmet. How does it stay on his head? Sure, it looks great, and has a backstory, but there's no way that helps him as he runs.
Next, why no mask? What would be easier, concealing your identity with a mask or vibrating a superhuman speeds so that your face is a blur? Clearly, he needs a mask. Lastly, why does a speedster where a costume that is ill-fitting? If you look at the Barry Allen/Wally West Flash costume and then Jay Garrick, you see all the flaws in Garrick's costume. No mask, bad helmet, and no aerodynamics.
Have you ever seen chainmail in person? First, it's heavy as hell. Second, it doesn't really flex all that well. Lastly, it doesn't really work unless you wear something under it, otherwise you get pinched by metal and it's incredibly uncomfortable. So, you definitely wouldn't want to wear a bikini made from it and fight people in sword-to-sword combat like Red Sonja.
Chainmail is great at stopping knives and swords from slashing you, but it really only works if you either use it as accent material with lots of armor, or at least wear chainmail all over your body. Red Sonja just "protects" her breasts and then adds a little bit to cover her downstairs. Not the smartest thing for a savage warrior. Well, at least she wears leather gloves and boots most of the time.
Cable is a classic example of everything wrong with '90s-era costume design. When he was introduced in New Mutants, Cable was covered from head to toe in pads and pouches. No wonder he has to be incredibly strong, with that much crap weighing him down constantly. It's madness. How does he even know what's in his pouches? He must lose track. It's as if Batman decided the utility belt wasn't enough and then just draped belt after belt all over his body. It's just overkill.
Then we have to mention the big guns he always carries around. This man is a telepath, telekinetic, and expert marksman, right? Wouldn't he be able to use much smaller guns, when needed, and still be able to take out most villains? The whole costume just screams of overcompensating. That being said, Cable's costume is way more functional than his clone's…
There's no point in trying to explain Stryfe's background. For all intents and purposes, he's just Cable's evil clone, and boy, does he look ridiculous. There isn't one aspect of his costume that serves any function. He wears head-to-toe sharp metal. He even has metal spikes on his thighs! That's not even close to as crazy as his headdress/helmet. For no reason, the helmet looks like he glued large razor blades to the side of his head.
Now, an apologist could say that this is all armor, and villains should wear armor. Okay, sure, but why then does he wear a huge, flowing red cape? If he's so worried about combat injuries, then maybe don't have a huge liability strapped to your body, like a red cape. Then the icing on the cake is the "nipples" that he is sometimes drawn with, which are little circles, inexplicably placed on his pecks.
In theory, if you're a ninja, you want to have a costume that is easy to move around in and provides great flexibility. However, if you Google pictures of ninjas, they definitely don't look like Elektra. Ninja costumes have always been about function. They conceal your identity, provide stealth, and obviously, are light and flexible. Elektra's costume fails two of those three criteria.
First off, her costume is bright red. There's no blending in the shadows when you're wearing bright red. She stands out like a sore thumb, especially among the rest of the ninjas that have appeared in Daredevil. Then there's the fact that there is no denying who she is, as she makes no attempt to hide her identity. Her face is not covered at all, like how she doesn't really cover much else of her body. While her costume is striking, it is perhaps the worst possible costume for a ninja.
Unlike most of the characters on this list, Grifter doesn't really have much of a costume. He's just a guy who wears a trench coat and kills lots of people. However, he wears a loose-fitting piece of fabric over his face. It's that silly fabric mask that destroys the functionality of his costume.
It doesn't matter how great of a marksman you may be; if you put a loose mask over your face, with two small eye holes, suddenly you can't shoot anything. It might be possible to still hit your target if you don't move at all when firing your gun, but even if there's a little breeze, and your mask flutters, your vision is all screwed up. Grifter should go down to his local department store and buy a ski mask. That's a much better option than covering your entire face with a bandanna.
Black Canary has one of the best costumes on the list, from a pure design perspective. The costume fits her character's personality, and looks great on the page. Unfortunately, it just doesn't make any practical sense. The loose fitting leather jacket just is not the best idea if you're someone who is an expert martial artist. The jacket limits your arm movements, and gives your enemy way too much fabric to grab onto. The jacket is just one of her problems, though.
Those fishnets... just... why? Yes, it's a cool visual. Sure, it adds some sex appeal, and women are allowed to dress however they want. But damn, it doesn't make sense for a martial artist to wear fishnets knowing full well that she's going to be fighting hand-to-hand. Does she own the world's strongest fishnets or does she just have piles of them back at her home? Just buy pants.
As we discussed at the very beginning of the list, Batman might have the most practical costume of all time. He looks intimidating. The utility belt and other gadgets provide increased functionality. And of course, the lightness of the costume gives him the flexibility to fight bad guys. Well, when Jean-Paul Valley, aka Azrael, took over as Batman, the costume he adopts just ignores all the practicality of the original Batman costume.
The Azrael Batman costume completely ditches the stealth aspect. There's bright gold metal all over the place. Next, it's not very intimidating. The classic Batman costume looks scary and menacing, whereas the Azrael Batman looks silly and over the top. Lastly, it's not very functional. Even if the comics show him doing the same things as classic Batman, the weight of the armor, and the overall bulkiness, just completely make it impractical as a Batman costume. Oh, and of course, it's just ugly.
No, adding Emma Frost to this list has nothing to do with her being scantily clad. The reason she's on this list is purely because her costume just doesn't make any practical sense. As a member of the Hellfire Club, you may be able to argue some parts of her costume as reasonable. However, as a hero, it just doesn't work.
First, there's no reason any hero should wear high heels. As long as a character walks around, and might have to run at some point, then high heels are out of the question. Of course, Emma is not much of a hand-to-hand specialist, but she does throw a punch every now and then, especially when she's in her diamond form. The way the upper half of her costume defies gravity, well, it's not very smart of her to ever punch or make sudden movements. She's bound to have an embarrassing wardrobe snafu.
Let's be honest with each other, the only reason Tigra is wearing what she wears is because artists want to show off her tiger-like body. She's basically a pure animalistic character that's all about slashing enemies with her claws, similar to Wolverine. However, you don't see Wolverine running around in a speedo to fight enemies. So, why does Tigra just wear a skimpy bikini?
You can argue that cats, in general, tend to not wear clothes, therefore a cat-like character shouldn't need to wear a full costume. However, anyone who fights with claws should probably want some level of protection, right? It doesn't make sense that she would leave 95% of her body open to injury. Sure, the stripes are cool to look at, but let's give the girl a little more armor and protection!
Speaking of armor and protection, let's talk about Hercules. The most apt comparison to Hercules that Marvel has is Thor. They're both super powerful gods, with strength and invulnerability. However, Thor actually wears armor over most of his body, knowing that even he can get hurt from time to time. Hercules, on the other hand, wears a sash and a skirt.
That's not to say that male characters can't wear things like that, but someone whose first inclination is to run headfirst into danger, even when he's outnumbered and out gunned, you would think he'd want to protect himself. Even in the most recent costume, he puts on some pants and knee pads, but for some reason, just decides to go shirtless. Yes, he's proud of his power and physique, but he can still wear sleeveless armor and flex his biceps.
If you had the superpower of stealing the memories, personality, and powers of people just through the slightest skin-to-skin touch, wouldn't you want to completely control when that happened? With Rogue, X-Men artists through the years have always made sure to cover 95% of her body, but honestly that's not enough!
This might not be the most popular thing to say, but to make Rogue's costume the most practical it can be, she needs to wear a full face mask. Spider-Man has a more practical Rogue costume than Rogue does. Rogue shouldn't leave anything open to chance. It's not just her enemies that are affected by her power, she is greatly affected too, to the point of being debilitated. So, while it might not be the most attractive costume for Rogue to wear, it just makes the most sense to cover every inch of her body. Then give her removable gloves for when she needs to use her power.
Shatterstar's old school costume must have come from the same tailor that designed Cable's excessive outfit. Yes, he has the pouches that don't make sense, but Shatterstar has a few extra flourishes that push his costume into complete impracticality. First, you have to talk about the double-bladed swords. What in the world does a sword with two blades do for you? It has to be way harder to maneuver and use in battle. It's silly looking, also.
Next, as an expert fighter, why would you wear anything that restricts movement or impairs your senses? A cushioned headpiece that covers your hears, impairing your hearing, and goes around your face, which might impair your vision, just doesn't seem functional at all. These practicality complaints also extend to the little weird cape and oversized shoulder pad. None of it makes any sense.
Imagine taking Spider-Man's sleek, maneuverable, costume and put a trench coat over it. Suddenly, he's weighed down by the fabric, unable to swing very well, and just can't do the same moves that he could do with his normal costume. That's the problem with Gambit's very impractical costume.
Gambit is a character who is good at martial arts, and uses a staff quite often. So why would he want to limit his movements by a heavy trench coat? It doesn't make sense. It doubly doesn't make sense when you factor in his mutant ability of "charging" inanimate objects, making them into exploding projectiles. If you constantly have to throw things, why would you wear a coat of any kind? If any character should be sleeveless, it probably should be Gambit. Instead, he wears this bulky, trench coat and tries to throw playing cards with accuracy. It's just silly.
Can you think of anyone else who has an impractical or completely inappropriate costume? Let us know in the comments!

I am the first to admit that I am not a morning person. Trying to get myself ready, dogs walked and Josh to the bus stop by 7 shouldn't be called a morning routine. It should be called torture. Over the years, my beauty routine has suffered for the sake of early mornings. I have to be honest and say that since I work from home, the thought of getting ready, doing my hair and make-up and wearing cute clothes sometimes feels like a waste of time. But the few years I've made an effort to ditch the yoga pants (except for you know, actual yoga) and to get ready. Even if I had no plans of leaving the house. And something funny started to happen. I felt better. I felt pretty and I felt together. Now, I'm not saying that you need pretty hair or make up to be beautiful. But when you feel good, your confidence shows. And confidence is sexy. Confidence is beautiful. One of my go-to confidence building beauty must haves is the Colgate® Optic White® Toothbrush + Whitening Pen. I used to always think that my eyes were my best feature. But the older I got, the more I heard over and over that I had a great smile. While hearing that was amazing, it had me paying closer attention to my smile. I want healthy, bright and white teeth. I want my smile to shine! The Colgate® Optic White® Toothbrush + Whitening Pen makes my beauty routine quick and easy. Colgate knows toothbrushes and this one is no exception. It gets your teeth nice and clean! Then, pop the whitening pen out and give it a quick dial and apply. You don't have to rinse and you don't have to wait. You can just go on with your day. The best part is that you start seeing results in as little as two days. TWO days!! I couldn't believe it. I love how it all stores together. No more added bulk in my bathroom of whitening products. And it's so easy to travel with. Not only does the Colgate® Optic White® Toothbrush + Whitening Pen have my smile looking better, but I feel better. And that looks good on everyone.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'work' tag.
Resumes sent out this week: 1
Applications filled out: 0
Interviews scheduled this week: 0
Thing I am grateful for: Coupons!
Ok 2 things:
1. I haven't been sending out a lot of resumes and applications because I have been debating for the last month if I want to leave my job or suck it up and get a third job. Yesterday, I decided I want another job . . .badly! I like the place I'm working. However, I am kinda of tired with my boss.
I am tired of having every little aspect of my job dictated to me. I am tired of having to do my job in a way that isn't conducive to achieve the goals that were dictated to me or that I want to achieve myself. And most importantly, I'm tired of part-time work. I am getting more hours as I it is coming up on our busy season, but its a lot of manual labor (which isn't exactly a bad thing) but I am tired of my has turning color from coffee and flavorings.
Therefore, with renewed hope . . .I am looking for a new job.
2. Grandma broke her humorous . . .and it isn't very funny. Grandma fell a week and a half ago and hasn't been home since. She is in a nursing home for rehab in the hopes she will return home within a week or two. She it pissed and wants to go home right now. I go visit her after work almost every day to see her. I am suffering from what is termed caregiver burnout. I haven't posted a new post because at night I come home tired and usually take a shower, maybe eat something and go to bed.
Whats most troubling is that mom, who moved here to help take care of her mother, isn't doing so well. She has been diagnosed with AFib and given new medication which is working. Yet, my mother is also having stomach issues. She can't eat without getting sick and has lost 15 lbs. within the past month. She has had a couple of test, one came out clean, the other we are still waiting on. I can't imagine taking care of two people at the same time. However, I feel I will have to.
Today provided me lots of entertainment. First and foremost the "informational session" was about selling insurance and annuities. That really isn't my cup of tea. However, there will be better opportunities down the road.
There were two things of interest to me. Jason Stackhouse and the Gay Baby! We will start with the former.
In the "informational session" I went to there was a guy who looked some much like Jason Stackhouse, it was frightening. Same blond hair, same build, same dumb doe-caught-in-headlights look in his eyes. Much like the picture below.
I kept looking at him like, OMG . . .You are the physicality of a fictional character. After he finally realized I was watching him off an on during the "informational session" he started looking back at me. I wasn't really interested in him . . .but I think he thought that I was. It totally made the "informational session" worth it.
I really kinda thought nothing could top the Jason Stackhouse sighting. . .until I went to work. That's where I found the Gay Baby . . .more like he found me.
Tonight was really rainy. So anyone walking by the store most likely decided to pop in to browse until the rain let up. Enter Stage Left, a mother and her child. The child is probably about 18-24 mos. and is wearing a ball cap and sitting in a stroller. The mother is wet, yet the child is not.
As the mother started walking towards me, I acknowledge her and she acknowledge me. The child proceeded to tell his mother that he was wet (from the rain . . .not the diaper). He mother assured him he was only a little wet. He proceeded to take off his hat and tell her how wet it was. Ok . . .I'm thinking . . .just a complaining kid.
Moving on, as his mother continues to browse, the kid spots a naked mannequin and says "Look . . .BOOBIES!" I ask his mother if he gets that from his father, and she assures me that is not the case. She also told me that they cannot go near a lingerie department with him, because he will scream "BOOBIES!" at the top of his lungs. I buy this and go on with my tasks.
A little while later, I here the kid say "That's ugly. I don't like it." The kid doesn't hold back. And children at this age are nothing but honest." I turn to the mom, to which she tells me, he doesn't like denim. Ok . . .this kid is def gay. By this point, I really want to follow the kid and his mom around to see what else comes out of his mouth. You know me. I'm always up for meeting a new gay man. However, not one so new to this Earth.
The kid is really demanding. "Take me outside," "Put that down," and "I'm ready to leave." After a few mins. the rain lets up and the mom is getting ready to leave. As she leaves the kid starts screaming "Gaga, Gaga." Ok, so the kid has a vocabulary and tends to speak in small, but complete sentences. He does babble like a baby. So I am assume that this Gaga rant pertains to the one and only Lady Gaga . . .because, what gay man doesn't love the Gaga.
As the mother and the Gay Baby exit stage right, I hear one more of the kid's demands. "Don't bump my piggies." Basically don't run my feet into the door. What 2 year-old says that?
Today was probably one of the best days of my life. It's really the simple things that make me happy. And apparently I can count Jason Stackhouse and Gay Babies as simple things! If I could have a gay baby, I think I might rethink children altogether . . .lol. I leave you with the gay baby test as seen on scrubs . . .enjoy!
When you think of a comforting scent what do you think of? Sun-dried laundry, fresh-baked goods, a beautiful spring bouquet, summer cured hay? How about acetone and acrylic glue?
When I get stressed out my favorite place to go is the nail salon. The smell of acetone for some reason is comforting. I enjoy my monthly eyebrow wax. Its like 15 mins. of pure bliss. And the massaging pedicure chair . . .I think every home should have one.
I have been putting off getting my brows waxed for like a month. However, today I could no longer take it. I also decided to treat myself to a pedicure as it had been a month and a half since I had one of those. My 15 mins. of bliss turned into an hour! I couldn't have been happier.
Today wasn't that stressful to tell the truth. Yet, with graduation fast approaching and trying to pass this last class, I feel stressed out all the time. I sometimes wonder if people confuse the stressful day on a stressful situation, when infact the work done in that day help to knock some of the stress out of the situtation. Some days I come home from work and school absolutely dragging the ground, ready for bed. I feel absolutely weighed down by all the things still left to accomplish. And when I finally accomplish something, its replaced by 5 more items. While I am working 2 jobs and trying to finish a graduate degree, I feel like this shouldn't be that hard. Like other people have it worse than me. I'm not a single-parent working 2 jobs to keep food on the table. I'm not a brilliant surgeon, performing hours long surgeries to save countless lives. So . . .what am I so stressed about? You tell me . . .what are you stress about? And how does that make you feel?
Really, there was nothing new that inspired me today. It was a typical Sunday. I got up, let the dog out, laid back down, got up and dressed for work, got lunch for me and grandma, ate lunch with grandma, went to job 2, came home, napped, cleaned the cat box, had dinner, and now blogging.
The highlight of my weekend was getting off of work 2 hours early yesterday and today, and watching the Two Fat Ladies. Sometimes, I think my life is totally boring. And this is one of those times. And sometimes I think my life is interesting. So I try to think about the times life was more interesting to get me through the lulls.
Tomorrow, I resolve to continue to work on my ever-growing to do list at work, get my school work accomplished, and take a nap! I'll let you know how that goes. Let me know if you day or weekend was any better than mine. I love living vicariously through others.
I'm leaving you tonight with a picture that I thought was funny. . . .enjoy!
Yes . . .that is a port-o-potty on a train!
