George Herbert (1593–1633)
Blest Order, which in power dost so excell,
That with th' one hand thou liftest to the sky,
And with the other throwest down to hell
In thy just censures; fain would I draw nigh,
Fain put thee on, exchanging my lay-sword
For that of th' holy Word.
But thou art fire, sacred and hallow'd fire;
And I but earth and clay: should I presume
To wear thy habit, the severe attire
My slender compositions might consume.
I am both foul and brittle; much unfit
To deal in holy Writ.
Yet have I often seen, by cunning hand
And force of fire, what curious things are made
Of wretched earth. Where once I scorn'd to stand,
That earth is fitted by the fire and trade
Of skilfull artists, for the boards of those
Who make the bravest shows.
But since those great ones, be they ne're so great,
Come from the earth, from whence those vessels come;
So that at once both feeder, dish, and meat
Have one beginning and one final summe:
I do not greatly wonder at the sight,
If earth in earth delight.
But th' holy men of God such vessels are,
As serve him up, who all the world commands:
When God vouchsafeth to become our fare,
Their hands convey him, who conveys their hands.
O what pure things, most pure must those things be,
Who bring my God to me!
Wherefore I dare not, I, put forth my hand
To hold the Ark,1 although it seems to shake
Through th' old sinnes and new doctrines of our land.
Onely, since God doth often vessels make
Of lowly matter for high uses meet,
I throw me at his feet.
There will I lie, untill my Maker seek
For some mean stuffe thereon to show his skill:
Then is my time. The distance of the meek
Doth flatter power. Lest good come short of ill
In praising might, the poore do by submission
What pride by opposition.

Cardinal Gibbons' redemption tour continued Wednesday night, trouncing Fuquay-Varina 6-1 at home Wednesday night to earn a trip to the fourth round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A girls soccer playoffs. It advances to the fourth round for the first time since 2013.
Gibbons trailed at halftime, but a former player, Duke's Morgan Reid, came out of the bleachers to inject a shot of enthusiasm into the Crusaders during the intermission.
"She gave us a pep talk and it got our heads into it," Haley Garrett said. "We came out with more fight and did what we do best."
The Bengals opened up a goal-filled night as freshman Kaitlyn Laux was able to get behind the Gibbons back line and chip a well-placed ball into the top left corner in the 31st minute.

Despite the Bengals loading up the back line, it took only five minutes into the second half for the Crusaders to equalize as a mishandled Meghan Kast shot from distance was corralled and guided into the back of the net by Taylor Currie.
"We said once we found the first goal we'll find the second," Gibbons coach Michele Miller said. "Sometimes you just have to find that first one."
Two minutes later, Currie evaded made her way down the right sideline and crossed in a ball that was tapped up and volleyed into the top shelf by Garrett from just shy of the penalty spot.
The momentum continued as Gibbons as Kast headed in an Anna Rockett cross that ensued a corner earned by the shifty play of Emmy Duerr capping a three-goal run in just a four-minute span.
Montgomery Cooling jump-started an offensive attack with a long through pass to Currie that created a one-on-one chance, but Fuquay's backup keeper Kristin Davis came off her line to make an astounding save that Maddie Reid slammed home on a one-timer volley.
Garrett earned a brace in the 64th minute by heading in a long set piece from Cooling delivered from the Crusaders' logo at midfield.
The Crusaders put an exclamation mark on the evening as Audrey Smith finished off a Duerr assist with just over five minutes to go.
Defensive captain Caroline Goudy went down with a knee injury early on in the match and Maggie Pierce was away at a U.S. Women's U17 National Team camp, but everyone else on the roster stepped up to fill those boots in a major way.
"That's the story of our season. We don't have one go-to, we spread it out and we challenge them all to step up and individually each one of them did," Miller said. "The beauty of what we do is we're team-oriented and we share the ball. Everyone has the green light."
Fuquay's season came to a disappointing in, but coach Nick Acosta was still able to pick out important positives.
"We aren't the most skilled team but we worked our socks off. The scoreline doesn't reflect the roller coaster of a game that it was." Acosta said. "We're a very young team … the young girls who got to play in this experience I think we'll use it going forward and hopefully we'll be back next year and years to come with the talent we have returning."

Women to get 60% of Agriculture loans in Benue
Gov. Ortom revealed this at Benue women economic summit
Benue government partners with CBN, BOI,BOA for loan facilities
Benue first lady praises husband for helping women in the state
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom says 60% of the loans the State Government has secured to boost agriculture and other commercial activities are to be allocated to female entrepreneurs.
Governor Ortom announced this today in Makurdi, while declaring open the First Benue Women Economic Summit organised by the Eunice Spring of Life Foundation, a pet project of his wife, Dr.Eunice.
He stated for instance, that the disbursement of the Bank of Industry loans which the State Government has obtained through partnership with the bank, will be disbursed with the understanding that women are better managers of resources.
Governor Ortom therefore urged Benue women to take advantage of the enabling environment and other opportunities created by his administration such as the loan facilities offered by the Central Bank of Nigeria, Bank of Industry and Bank of Agriculture in order to add value to themselves and the state economy.
He reaffirmed the commitment of his administration to the development of women, saying that any society which empowers its women reaps immense benefits from such investment.
The Governor praised his wife Dr. Eunice for the enormous contributions she had made over the years and for standing by him during difficult times.
Governor Ortom added that he is proud of his wife for complementing the efforts of his government in many laudable ways and promised to support her initiatives.
Earlier, Dr. Eunice Ortom who also commended her husband for being a great leader and family man, said she had received tremendous inispiration from the Governor.
Mrs. Ortom said the First Benue Women Economic Summit had become necessary to help women of the state to identify areas of their strength in entrepreneurship. She added that her organization, the Eunice Spring of Life Foundation, ESLF, would not relent in its efforts at giving bearing to the less privileged.

A method of mixing drilling fluids at a drill site includes the transportation of sealed silo assemblies that can contain dry products in bulk to the well drilling site. The dry products are maintained within the silo assemblies in a dry and pressurized condition. The dry product is discharged from the sealed silo assemblies and into a mixer at the well drilling site wherein the mixer is maintained in a sealed environment until mixing is completed. The mixer combines the dry product with a liquid at the well site. The dry product is maintained within the silo assemblies in a pressurized condition to discourage the entry of moisture or gasses having high moisture content.
What is claimed as invention is:
1. A method of mixing oil and gas well drilling products, including hydrophilic dry products and fluids, at a drill site comprising the steps of:
a) transporting multiple sealed silo assemblies to the drill site silo having each a larger upper end portion and a smaller, generally cone-shaped lower end portion and each silo containing a dry, hydrophilic oil well drilling mud additiveproduct;
b) maintaining the dry product within each silo in a dry and in a positive pressurized condition wherein the inside of each silo includes the dry product and a dry pressurizing gas product;
c) discharging the dry product from selected ones of the multiple silos into a mixer at the well drilling site using a combination of gravity flow and the positive pressure within each silo;
d) maintaining positive pressure in each silo at least until the silo is substantially empty;
e) maintaining the mixer in a sealed environment until mixing is completed; and
f) wherein in step "e" the mixer combines the dry hydrophilic product with a liquid.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the dry product is barite.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the dry product is reactive in the presence of moisture.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the dry product is a mined ore.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the dry product is polymeric.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein in steps "e" and "f" a slurry is formed of the dry product and the liquid.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the dry pressurizing gas product is inert gas.
8. The method of claim 1 or 7 wherein the gas product is nitrogen.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein in step "c" the pressurized gas at least in part discharges the dry product under pressure.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to oil and gas well drilling and more particularly relates to the management of oil and gas well drilling fluids. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transporting bulkquantities of dry drilling material to and from an oil and gas well drilling structure and wherein an improved silo apparatus is used for transporting drilling additives to the well drilling site in dry powder form, and the handling of such dry materialin dust-free form, using inert gas to both preserve the dry product and to transmit the dry product from the silo, and wherein the silos are maintained in a positive pressure and in arid condition to prevent moisture from entering the silo.
2. General Background
There are many dry powder products used as drilling mud components. Many of these products are extremely reactive in the presence of moisture. Some of these dry powders such as barite (a mined ore) are not affected by moisture. Other productssuch as XCD-Polymer are extremely hydrophilic and must be shipped in small packages, sacks, or the like which are expensive to produce and a nuisance once empty. When alternate forms of transportation for these polymers have been attempted, the bestattempt at a solution has been to slurry them in nonpolar, environmentally hazardous liquid carrier and transport them to the drilling location via a liquid bulk tank.
Manufacturers spend a large amount of time and money in the handling of equipment and personnel to place such dry products in sacks or bags and to load those onto a drilling rig at significant cost to the end user. Once sacks or bags are filledwith such dry material, they are typically loaded onto wooded pallets or the like and then shrink-wrapped with a plastic film for protection against the elements. The shrink-wrap is very expensive and can be easily torn or punctured exposing the productto the environment, sometimes resulting in damage or destruction of the product before end use. Often times the damage is discovered at a critical time when the ruined inventory is needed for maintaining a rig operating condition.
Palletized materials are handled with fork trucks and cranes in transporting those materials from the source, through vehicles and vessels to the well drilling site. Palletized material is often placed upon a large work vessel for marinetransport. Palletized drilling materials can be damaged by the fork truck, the crane, or by improper handling techniques. Sometimes, the damage is not noticed and the product is shipped with all attentive expense to the drilling site in damagedcondition. This commonly happens when a forklift operator damages sacks of material which are loaded onto a pallet and never notices the damage until the product is unloaded from the pallet on the drill rig.
If the product is delivered to a land based drilling rig, it will be off loaded using a forklift. The land location is often surrounded by wooden board roads in some locations, thus making fork truck operation more difficult. Entire pallets ofproducts have been dropped due to unstable conditions on such wooden board roads.
If palletized drilling products arrive at a sea port, they are generally off loaded by a crane. The equipment used to pick up the pallets has tongues which slide under the pallet with cables and straps. When the lift is made, the cable becomestight and can cut through the shrink wrap into the paper sacks. In situations such as this, the product is then exposed to the elements and can become moist or simply drain out of the sacks after the damage is done. Sometimes, if many sacks arepunctured during lifting operations, the load can become imbalanced and the entire pallet of packaged product can be spilled and lost. Bodily injury can occur as a result of such accidents. In rough seas, the unloading of palletized bags of drydrilling material can take hours adding greatly to the expense of shipping and handling.
In heavy seas, waves can wash over the side of the boat creating a potential water damage problem for these dry powder drilling materials. When product is damaged on the way out to sea and to the drilling rig, it is damage that is not alwaysdiscovered until the vessel arrives, creating a waste of time and money for the boat operator and for the rig operator. If damaged inventory is extensive, insufficient mud production can shut down drilling operations with enormous associated cost to theoperator.
Once a work boat arrives on location, the product must be lifted by crane onto the drilling rig, one pallet at a time. Sometimes, the pallets that are needed for a particular job are the last ones to be unloaded from the vessel because thevessel is unloaded in reverse order. If a particular product is urgently needed, it may not be able to be obtained until several hours of unloading have passed.
When dry packaged drilling products do arrive on location, they are typically stored and sometimes for an extended period of time before use. On land drilling locations, the pallets are stacked in the most convenient spot on the board road. Offshore, such sacks of dry material occupy any available deck space. When a particular product is needed, a pallet load of that product is located and positioned near an appropriate hopper using a fork truck or crane and in some cases hand carrying isused.
At the particular hopper, the sacks of dry material must literally be cut open by hand and dumped. This is an unsafe process with many inherent risks. Back injuries, lacerations, and dust irritation are common problems associated with thehandling of twenty-five to one hundred pound sacks of dry drilling material.
Once all the dry material is added to the hopper, the empty sacks are collected and placed in a trash bin along with shrink wrap, broken wooden pallets, all of which must be returned to shore for disposal at additional expense. A source ofenvironmental concern is that waste is lost at sea due to weather conditions or deliberately cast off to avoid disposal cost. This creates a pollution problem for the open seas and the shore lines. It has been estimated that ten percent of the averagetotal of dry material cost is due to lost product through mishandling and weather conditions and related damage.
The present invention provides a method of mixing drilling fluids at a drill site that includes the transportation of a sealed silo assembly to the drill site that contains dry product in bulk form.
The dry product is maintained within the interior of the silo in a dry arid condition and also pressurized. The pressurized condition prevents the entry of moisture during long term storage.
The product is discharged at the well site. The mixer is maintained in a sealed environment until mixing is completed.
In the mixer, the dry material that is discharged from the silo assembly is combined with a liquid product for use as drilling mud or a drilling mud additive.
The apparatus of the present invention provides a dispensing apparatus for combining dry material with a wetting agent at an oil and gas well drilling site. The apparatus includes a transportable frame with a vessel contained protectively withinthe confines of the frame. The vessel includes a larger upper end portion and a smaller lower end portion.
An outlet is provided for discharging dry drilling material from the vessel interior. The lower end portion of the vessel is shaped to concentrate dry material within the tank to a position adjacent the outlet. A header for fluidizing the drymaterial at the outlet connects at first and second end portions respectively with the larger end of the vessel and the smaller end of the vessel at the outlet. The header includes a quick release connection for connecting a source of pressurized gas tothe header and valves allow selective controlling of the flow of pressurized gas within the header to either the first or second end portion thereof.
For a further understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like parts are given like referencenumerals, and wherein:
FIGS. 1-1A are schematics view of the system of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the silo assembly portion of the preferred embodiment of the apparatus invention; and
FIG. 3 is a perspective fragmentary view illustrating the vessel portion of the preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention.
In FIGS. 1-1A, there can be seen schematic flow diagrams of the system of the present invention designated generally by the numeral 10. In FIG. 3, there is first seen at the center thereof a large horizontal batch mixer 11. Mixer 11(commercially available) is preferably fitted with abrasive resistent paddle agitators to provide a complete clean-out. Mixer 11 has an outer tank made of abrasive resistent steel useful for example for mixing sand.
Heavy duty stuffing boxes can be provided to mixer 11 for preventing material from getting into the main bearings. The capacity of the mixer 11 would be for example 100-550 cubic feet (17.8-98 barrels) and ready to mix one hundred pounds percubic foot of slurry. As an example, a mixer capacity 150 cubic feet would be rated to one hundred pounds per cubic foot equals fifteen thousand pounds of cement slurry at seventeen pounds per gallon.
Mixer 11 is preferably sealed during use, with a lid for viewing. When sealed, Mixer 11 provides for dust-free dumping. Protective guard 12 houses a gear box for controlling operation of the mixing agitators which are not shown but areconnected to drive shaft 13. Electric motor 14 interfaces with the gear box to provide power that will rotate drive shaft 13 and drive the agitator. An electric motor 14 such as for example 30-100 horse power is an example.
Mixer 11 is mounted upon beam scale 15 for electric free weighing. Mechanical scale 16 reads an accurate tenth of a percent to two pounds per ton. Mechanical scale 16 would be commercially available. Butterfly valves 17 control discharge ofeach batch from mixer 11. A total of four valves 17 are illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 1. Flexible hoses 18 are used to interface hard piping to mixer so as to prevent interference with the weighing process.
A plurality of valves 19 as shown in FIG. 1 are used to direct the flow of water and other liquids into the mixer 11. A pump 20 that is capable of pumping very high viscous slurry can be a commercially available pump that handles a rate of forexample five barrels per minute. Slurry can be discharged from mixer at varying rates by operating the butterfly valves 17 as a control. An existing drilling rig bulk system 21 can be employed to add barite, gel, or cement, the bulk system beingdesignated generally by the numeral 21.
Dry product feed flume 22 allows dry product to be added to mixer 11. Flow line 23 can be used to add drill water and/or sea water for mixing. Meter 24 indicates the exact amount of water added to the mixer 11. Liquid product additive line 25allows the addition of any liquid product to the mixer. Line 26 delivers drilling mud to the mixer and line 27 delivers the slurried product to its destination elsewhere on the rig. Pump 20 includes an intake side that communicates with discharge line28 from mixer 11 and an output or discharge side that communicates with the output flow line 27.
In FIG. 1A, a schematic, perspective view illustrates the system of the present invention in use on an elevated oil/gas well drilling platform such as for example in an offshore environment. The rig platform 60 provides a deck area 61 with mixer11 mounted under the deck 61 and structurally supported using steel beams, trusses or the like. The rig platform 60 includes a plurality of vertically standing legs 62 which can be hundreds of feet in length for example, extending to the ocean floor. Hopper 63 corresponds generally to product feed flume 22 of FIG. 1. The use of the hopper 63 allows a selected drilling material to be added in bulk using large bags 64 and lifting assembly 65. Hopper 63 thus provides an open top 66 into which bulkmaterial can be added for transfer as needed to the mixer and controlled by valve 67.
The following table lists materials that are reactive in the presence of water and which would desireably be handled in a dry, pressurized environment with the silo assembly 30.
TABLE 1 ______________________________________ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ______________________________________ Calcium Carbonate Salt Gel Oil Mud Gel Amine Treated Clay Lime Calcium Hydroxide Caustic Sodium Hydroxide Soda Ash Sodium Carbonate Bicarb Sodium Bicarbonate KOH Potassium Hydroxide Gypsum Calcium Sulphate Desco Organic Thinner/ Modified Tannin Lignosulfonate Chrome/Chrome Free Lignite Lignite SAPP Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate Calcium Lignosulfonate PHPA Partially HydrolyzedPolyacrylamide XCD Bacterial Gums Polysaccharide Drispac Polyanionic Cellulose CMC Carboxymethyl Cellulose Starch Polysaccharides HEC Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Resinex Co-Polymer of a Sulfonated Lignite Asphalt Asphalt Soltex Sulfonated Asphaltines Gilsonite Gilsonite ______________________________________
There are other products that could be handled by insertion into hopper 63 and which could be added to mixer 11 using bag 64 for example. These would include products that are not as sensitive to water such as for example Barite, Hematite, Gel(Wyoming Bentonite) Salt Gel (Attapulgite), Sodium Chloride, walnut shells, Cylicates, peanut shells, spun rock, coke, Kwik-Seal.RTM. (comprised of granules, flakes, and fibers).
In FIGS. 2 and 3, there can be seen silo assembly 30 for containing dry products typically used in the drilling of oil and gas wells. Silo assembly 30 includes a structural frame 31 (see FIG. 2) The frame 31 is comprised of longitudinal columns32-35 and transverse members 36 and diagonal member 37. A plurality of forklift sockets 38 are provided in hollow channel beams 39 so that a forklift can lift the entire silo assembly 30 by engaging the sockets 38 with a pair of spaced apart forkliftlifting tines on the bottom or side wall of frame 31.
Vessel 40 is contained within the confines of frame 31 in a protective fashion as shown in FIG. 2. Vessel 40 is shown more particularly in FIG. 3 with frame 31 removed. Vessel 40 includes a circular top 41, a cylindrically shaped upper portion42 and a conically shaped lower end portion 43. A narrow lower outlet 44 communicates with cone shaped lower end portion 43 and defines a dispensing outlet. Circular top 41 carries a manway opening 45 and a cover 46 for sealing the manway opening 45.
Header 47 includes an upper end 48 that communicates with the interior of vessel 40 at inlet opening 49. Vessel 40 is hollow, being constructed of welded sheets of thin steel or the like. Pressure relief device 50 on header 47 prevents ruptureof header 47 or vessel 40 due to over pressurization. Lower end 51 of header 47 communicates with the vessel 40 interior via inlet opening 52. Vessel outlet 44 carries a quick connect cap 53 so that a complete closure of the vessel interior can bemaintained adjacent outlet 44.
Header 47 carries a pair of valves 54 that define the direction of flow of pressurized gas in header 47 in a selective fashion. By opening valve 54A and closing valve 54B, pressurized gas can be routed through header 47 to inlet 49 and thus theupper end 42 and inside vessel 40. This creates a pressurized environment within the vessel 40 interior during use. Pressurization of vessel 40 when valves 54A and valve 54B are closed also aids in emptying the contents of vessel 40 interior. In orderto "fluff" the dry mixture contained with vessel 40, valve 54A is closed and valve 54B opened. This allows pressurized gas to enter vessel 40 interior adjacent outlet 44 via inlet 52.
Check valve 56 prevents a back pressure flow of pressurized gas through line 47 after vessel 40 interior has been pressurized. Similarly, check valve 56 prevents a backflow of pressure from the vessel interior via lower end 51 of header 47 whenthe vessel 40 interior is pressurized.
Pressure gauge 57 is used to create a desired pressure value inside vessel 40. Gate valve 58 closes the entire system including the pressure contained within header 47 and vessel 40 interior. Quick connect coupling 59 allows a source ofpressurized gas such as pressurized nitrogen for example to be connected to the header for pressurizing the vessel 40 interior and the header 47 as aforedescribed. The pressurized gas is maintained at a desired pressure and is arid.
In order to utilize bulk quantities of oil and gas well drilling additives effectively, the dry product must be maintained in a flowing condition all the way into the drilling mud stream. Some dry additives will not flow as powder if they absorbmoisture. When this happens, mixing becomes a problem because the bonding process has already started with the presence of water.
In a bulk mud protocol, the products will be loaded and transported to the job in the high volume silo assemblies 30. The hydrophilic products can be shipped in smaller silos (not shown). The high volume silo assemblies 30 can be stackedtogether neatly and safely and sit for indefinite periods of time, retaining product integrity until product is mixed or returned for credit.
The silo assemblies 30 will be emptied and gravity fed into batch mixer 11 The hydrophilic products can be added directly to the mixer 11. The scale mounted mixer 11 uses the mechanical scale 16 without the need for electronic parts. The scale16 is capable of weighing from five to fifteen thousands pounds, accurate to one tenth of one percent for example. Thus, for every ton of additive placed into the mixture, the user knows within two pounds of how much inventory has been used.
The mixer 11 will be plumbed so that batches can be pumped wherever needed. This system thus allows the user to charge the mixer 11 with water or mud and up to thousands of pounds of any additive from any silo assembly 30. Mixer 11 will slurrythe volume, lifting and tumbling the entire mass and circulating the entire contents from one end of the mixture to the other and at the same time up to many times per minute. This type of agitation is sufficient to thoroughly mix any polymer.
The present invention affords dust-free loading and mixing of products. The mixing tank 11 will be totally sealed so that the mixing will be dust-free. The bulk delivery loop is complete when any empty bags or silo assemblies 30 are returned toa stock point and recharged for the next visit to the drilling site.

Looking for simple ways to put together a stylish graduation party at home? For 2018, we're obsessed with this new Adventure Begins party in white, gold and black. Read up on thoughtful ideas for a lovely event, from trends like "drip" cake and metallic letter balloons to fun ways to spoil the graduates with candy leis, cookies, a gift table and light appetizers.
Idea 1: Party hack: how to hang fans
Take a page from our 2018 stylebook and decorate wall spaces with fans. First tape doubled lengths of fishing wire to the fans with packing tape, then attach the fishing wire to the wall with tape. This makes it easy to move the fans around as you create your layered masterpiece (and they don't get damaged).
Idea 2: Excitement is in the air
Don't forget the entrance when it comes to decorating for a grad party. A yard sign with a balloon bouquet is an easy way to make a stylish statement. It's also the best way to announce the big news and steer friends and family to the party spot.
Idea 3: Have a place for guests to leave cards for the graduate
Set up a gift area on a table or countertop nook to help her gracefully accept presents and cards. A glam travel trunk matches the "adventure" party theme and doubles as a case for cards she'll want to keep to remember the day. Style the table with home décor touches like paperweights and trinket dishes – these make sweet take-home favors for friends of your graduate.
Idea 4: Sweet sayings to inspire their dreams
Personalize bakery cookies with phrases to match your adventure theme. Ice white and gold cookies with mantras like "reach for the stars" and "the adventure begins". Play off the star icon with star shapes and gold star sprinkles, and spoil her by making a few with your grad's name and 2018!
Idea 5: Decorate with photo memories
Personalize a photo balloon weight with her favorite photos. Make 5 or 6 of these and try them in different rooms. This graduation party balloon idea is easy to move around and try in different spots until you achieve decorating perfection. This type of décor element works on the floor or as a table or island centerpiece.
Idea 6: Make spaces for socializing with stylish decoration choices
Create a casual party vibe by decorating a comfortable seating area. The grad and her friends will be on Cloud 9 chatting in a kitchen nook filled with white honeycombs, delicate hanging swirls and pretty metallic garlands.
Idea 7: Say it your way with letter balloons
Decorate with words! Small metallic letter balloons have to be our top pick for stylish decorating this grad season. This idea works for small or large spaces and creates a backdrop for photos that speaks for itself. For a mantel area, choose a single word. For a hall or auditorium, try longer inspirational phrases. Add garlands, balloons and stars to inspire grads to reach for the stars and go after their dreams!
Idea 8: Think mini bites, light salads and mineral waters
Simple is smart for a stylish grad party that's all about mingling. Set out stacks of printed dessert plates and pretty platters brimming with small appetizers like spring rolls and shrimp bites. For drinks, think light and fresh: orange juice and fruit mineral waters will earn high marks.
Idea 9: A sweet way to celebrate their accomplishment
For a practical and petite grad party candy buffet, use a bar cart. To create height, mix and match mason jars in different sizes and tuck in grad-theme signs on sticks and a celebratory sign. You can use wearables like wristbands and headbands to decorate your containers with iconic grad caps. Dangle a gold dots banner to tie it all together.
Idea 10: Let her walk the stage with a sweet reward!
Here's a stylish take on the classic candy lei graduation gift: use chocolate gold coins to symbolize her road to success and white chocolate kisses to represent your love for her. To make the sections: fill cell bags with candy, leaving about 2 inches on the ends, then attach using included twist ties. You'll want sturdy candy at the neck, so use 6 twisty lollipops for that section. Tape paper grad cap cutouts and tie on 5-inch lengths of white tulle to add sophistication.
Idea 11: Something sweet for the graduates: a gorgeous "drip" cake
This trendy graduation cake idea is perfect for a small celebration your grad will truly love. The cascade of drizzled chocolate is ganache-style frosting made with whipped warm cream and chocolate. A cursive Congrats topper pairs perfectly and matches her style.

The Misadventures of Homeschooling: What Have I Done?
Sooooo we kinda decided to homeschool. Actually, we were forced into it via our spectacular lives. Gently forced into it…like a drug lord is gently forced into prison. Or maybe how a toddler is gently forced into a suit for Easter Sunday service. I digress.
It all started last year when I had a Joan-Of-Arc-Epiphany-From-God moment and KNEW we were going to try our darndest to add two more children to our family. Long story short, I had my eye on one of my daughter's friends for a while…kept up with her, if you will. I knew this kid was sheer magnificence the first time I met her, but I had no idea she had been through hell. Seriously. Adults will sigh and say "Yeah, I KNOW…I had rough times during adolescence…" Puhlease. This kid's mom died when she was eight, she watched her father crawl into a bottle and pop pills, got bounced around like a ping pong ball in the Child Services system, became a ward of the state and ended up 14, pregnant and living 100 miles away from civilization in a girl's home/orphanage. By then her dad had stage four esophageal cancer…you get an inkling of the sitch here.
I will bypass the excitement and the surreal experience of having our private lives exposed to government entities, learning first-hand how broken the "system" is, spending long hours with our case workers …let's skip to the good stuff. This young lady and her then two-week-old daughter came home with us. But Child Services had rules. This young lady – Sam – HAD to be in school or else the infamous truancy officer would hunt us down. Sam did not belong in public school. She was already behind and the stress of being subjected to the less-than-stellar environment that is public education seemed a cruel punishment. She was also breastfeeding, which to my Momness was and is the quintessential new-mother experience and should be protected at all costs. Screw pumping. Let her feed the baby! Let her bond! The answer seemed so obvious: HOMESCHOOL.
I boldly made the announcement to our case worker that we were homeschooling. I had already found a cover school and wrote a check. Done. I had already pestered the eyes out of one of my homeschool-mom-friends. I was ready to whisk brilliant Sam into the next era with an arsenal of curriculum and know-how. Our case worker looked perplexed and mumbled…I smiled demurely. I won.
Fast forward to now – a year later. Sam is doing great! Homeschooling Sam went so well that we eventually added our other three children to the adventure – which means I am now homeschooling four of our five kids. After the chaos of Christmas died down, I ushered our 11 year old son into the homeschool realm, allowing our 14 year old daughter and our 16 year old son to finish out the year in public school. By the time our southern summer season wrapped itself around us like a hot damp towel, ALL the kids wanted to try this crazy homeschool thing. I was like, "Sure. Why not!"
Homeschool was a dark mystery to me prior to our initiation. When my high school friend heard I was homeschooling, I received a text one evening. It simply said, "Hey. Heard you came to the dark side. Call me." After copious hours of scouring the interwebs for homeschool know-how and cold calling homeschool friends, I was off to a good start. Who knew this alternate reality, this other world, was so vast and flexible and crazy? So many revelations about homeschooling entertained me. For example, I thought the term "unschooling" was hilarious because it sounded like a paradox. I laughed every time I sent in my attendance records…from HOME for HOMEschool because my kids attended school at HOME. I relished learning new stuff all the time as I worked on assignments for the kids. I kept thinking, "Why the heck did we not do this FIVE years ago??!" Notice I didn't say ten years ago. Let's be real. I know my limits.
My uber-cool homeschool-mom-friend recently started a co-op. I did not know what this was, but I knew enough to know that her 4 kids are crazy advanced and are graduating early and taking college tests at age 12 or something and they speak foreign languages. If Swiss Family Robinson mated with Einstein and Mother Teresa, this family would be the result. She explained to me that a homeschool cooperative is where kids go one day a week for enrichment classes. I was like, "Yes please, Sign me up!" She did better than that – she enlisted me as her co-cop sidekick, which means I have now been thrown into the ever deepening pit that is the world of homeschool.
At the first brainstorming meeting, my homeschool-mom-friend thought she would have four or five people show up. Try twenty! Now, there seems to be some weird unspoken law that if you are homeschool parents, you have a hundred kids. My husband and I have five kids – and whenever someone asks me how many kids we have, I always smile and say, "A hundred! No, haha, but we have five." People stare at us like we are Mormons trying to populate our own planet or something. Geez people. Back to my story: I thought it would be a lovely ice breaker to ask each parent how many children they have. NO ONE IN THAT ROOM had one or two kids. NO ONE. I think the smallest family had four kids!! Is there a scientific link between homeschooler DNA and fertility? I was morbidly fascinated.
Apparently I forgot to ask an even more important question, which these parents pretended I asked and each began answering anyway. The invisible question in question was "How long have you been homeschooling?" Like survivors at an AA meeting, each proud individual enthusiastically outlined their personal homeschool history, complete with footnotes about curriculum as well as their personal opinion about – dare we utter it – the public school system. Imagine the looks of shock and pity I received when I stated – upon being asked – that my kids spent their entire little school lives in public school until this year. A few moments of uncomfortable silence later I added, "because our son wasn't getting what he needed…" to which the others in the tribe exhaled with relief and nodded vigorously. It was at that point that I realized I needed to figure out how to blend in, at least until I had a better plan of action.
There are two kinds of homeschool families. The first type of homeschool family we shall call the Outies. These Outies are out and about everywhere all the time learning about everything. The offspring of these individuals are amazingly cool, extra-intelligent renaissance kids who can juggle, speak fluent Dutch, master calculus in their living room while eating fruits grown in their own garden and paint portraits in oils after dinner. (See above reference to my homeschool-mom-friend). These types of kids know EVERYTHING, but not in your typical know-it-all way. These kids read books like Imelda Marcos bought shoes. Their conversations are punctuated with puns, literary references, double entendres and trivia. While it is exciting to be around such homeschool specimens, it also causes a middle aged woman such as myself to wonder, "What have I done with MY life?" The Fruits-of-My-Loins are already morphing into the homeschool version of these brainiacs – as if staying in your pajamas while you read The Iliad in bed causes a chemical reaction with time and space formerly unavailable in the sterile hallways of public school. In the words of Gandalf, what sorcery is this?
We will call the second type of homeschool family the Innies. This kind of homeschool family was sorta the reason homeschool never appealed to me in the first place. If you took an Amish family and mated them with Billy Graham and Ronald Reagan, this is would be the product. It has been my observational understanding that the offspring of these homeschool species are also highly intelligent, but heavily guarded by a deep respect for religious and/or denominational influences and are typically more sheltered from the outer world. The dress code for Innies involves long denim skirts, expertly crafted hair buns, long sleeves in summer and the occasional pair of Birkenstocks. I have no doubt that the offspring of Innies will grow up to change the world, albeit with a cautious view and a select diet devoid of sugars and caffeine. One of the driving forces behind an Innies decision to homeschool is the fact that public schools are no place for God, wholesome family values and moral conduct. Having endured the ups and downs of public school myself, I can somewhat appreciate this sentiment. But where else is a first grader going to learn how to do armpit farts and shoot spitballs out of a deconstructed ballpoint pen? Just sayin…
So last night was the big meeting where everyone registered for this year's co-op classes and volunteer teachers were initiated and trained. In my work life, I often do speaking engagements or work with groups of people. I always use humor and my goal is to always make people laugh – it's my shtick. Sarcasm flows through my veins and my wit cannot be stopped. Humor is how I have survived all these years! I decided to rely on the one thing that has gotten me through every unimaginable circumstance for decades: being funny. Enter 24 homeschool moms/teachers. Everyone scribbles their name on a fluorescent orange sticker and pastes said sticker to their chest. I was wearing a sundress so my nametag rebelliously drifted into the safety of my armpit. And the marker was cheap so I had "SARAH" poorly tattooed in six places across my chest as it journeyed to the netherworld. This was a good omen, I thought. This is funny… Then came the introductions. You will NEVER guess what the first question was!
"How many kids do you have?" Hundreds. Thousands. We all had soccer teams living in our abodes. We all drove minivans and Suburbans and Yukons, and perhaps a horse and buggy somewhere. All that was missing was a geneticist in a lab coat scribbling our fertility data onto a stainless steel clipboard. I was struck by how so many of these precious little children had Biblical names. As I quickly tallied up my grocery list and checked my mental calendar for next week, female voices would bring me back into reality as I heard phrases like, "And Jebediah is now two so he'll stay in the nursery…" and later, "Daniel and Malachai will need biology if you know who's teaching…" I quickly thanked both God and my husband for giving our children strange Irish names…perhaps we could blend in after all.
Suddenly one lady began telling us how she once visited the funeral home across the street. She regaled us with the hilarious tale of how her husband's zipper busted and he was one of the Pallbearers so she had to follow him into the men's restroom and safety pin his fly shut. I again noted my surroundings as I bit back the urge to say "Pallbearer? You mean BALL Barer!" I laughed and laughed on the inside and doodled on the teacher's guide for comfort. I told myself that I will adapt with time and I will infiltrate the tribe to discover who is funny and who is not. No need to waste golden humor just yet…there is still plenty of time. Taking a deep breath, I dug the nametag sticker out of my armpit and looked around the room. Then I asked myself the Important Question: Did the Piggly Wiggly sell wine this time of night?
Happy to have read your Hub! Thanks for candidly sharing your experience with homeschooling. I sometimes write parenting articles and it's cool to come across this touching read!
Great hub about home-schooling. Love the voice that comes through in your writing. :0) I enjoyed reading your perspective on your experiences. Keep up the great work!

Friday, May 15, 1998
Cash-King Portfolio
by Tom Gardner
Alexandria, VA (May 15, 1998) -- For some of you, today's financial lesson (reserved for every Friday here in CK-land) will be a statement of the obvious, a return to something learned years or months ago. But for others, and notably for some in the national financial media, this lesson is either a much-needed reminder or a useful first look at the material.
Today, I'd like to talk about the long-term performance of the market for common stocks in America, and around the industrialized world. In the 20th century, the U.S. stock market has risen at a rate of 11% per year. I just returned from a business trip to the U.K., and their market (as measured by the Footsie Index) has risen at a rate of 12.2% per year this century. In fact, the Footsie's gains have ranged up to 13.5% per annum since Great Britain dug its way out of the rubble of World War II fifty years ago.
If you study market performance in the other industrialized nations, you're going to find average annual returns of between 9-14% over the 20th century. And what this means is that, on average, the stock markets of the world are forever going to be hitting new highs. On average, that is -- not every single year. Next year, the U.S. market may fall 6%. Then 8% the year after that. But looking out in decades, the world's public markets are appreciating vehicles.
It's a lot like the human condition that, in monetary and non-monetary terms, on average is ever on the up and up (that's my British influence for today). I still remember listening to Spike Lee artfully convince a Brown University undergraduate of this point at a debate in Providence in the late 1980s.
Things are subtly improving.
Contrarily, it's very easy to turn pessimistic about the human state and about living (and, by extension, about our public markets). And it's intellectually satisfying. If you do, you're smarter than the rest of the world because you're disappointed by its apparent direction, its ignorance of faith, its simplicity. But though it may be easy to be negative (and sound smart), it's a position that is unsupported by reality, contestable with simple numerics.
The human condition, on average, improves inchmeal each year.
If you don't agree, take your time machine back to 1919, to the influenza pandemic from which over 25 million people perished. In less than two years, the airborne virus reduced the average lifespan of an American by 10 years -- while dropping that of tens of thousands to a matter of minutes. Scientific thinking had not fully penetrated medicine; there was yet no vaccine for influenza.
Then zip back another twenty years to the turn of the century, where you'll find the streets of New York City heaped with enough horse manure to form a block of it two football fields long and one football field high. Technology, efficiency, cleanliness, and popular demand -- they were not happy bedfellows.
Then, for the heck of it, let's dart back a few centuries and live for a week as serfs in 12th century France. We'd sworn fealty to our lord, humbly agreeing never to leave our small plot of land without his permission, never to marry or start a family without his license, and always to turn the majority of our crop yield over to him for sale. We had few defensible rights as individuals.
It's as plain as the beautiful day outside my window: The human condition, on average, improves inchmeal each year -- with advances in technology, medicine, public policy, et cetera. No, we don't improve every year, or every hour of every year. But gradually, on average, life gets better.
The same is true of our public markets.
What our public markets have not achieved, though, is 20th century growth rates that would on average double values every four years. In the U.S., over the past five years, that's exactly what's happened. Our stock market has risen at a rate of 20% per year since the summer of 1993. That's 9 percentage points above the average in each of the past five years.
It's not going to continue for years to come. It can't continue. And no matter what a financial magazine reporter or newspaper writer or television anchor says that the Motley Fool told you (we're still scratching our heads over a few articles, can't ya tell...), I'd like to make our position very clear:
"We do not expect the stock market to rise at a rate of 20% per year, indefinitely. We do, however, expect periods of 20-30% declines over the next 20 years, and 20-30% inclines. For this reason, we don't borrow money to buy stocks; we don't invest any money that we'll need in cash within five years; and we also don't put our long-term savings anywhere but in the stock market."
Now what do we expect from the U.S. stock market?
Well, around 11% annual growth over the next 20 years. With the S&P 500 at 1115 today, that would mean that in the year 2018, the index would sit somewhere around 9000. Over that time, the Dow Jones Industrials -- which are sitting near 9170 today -- would rise to about 74,000. In each case, indexing investors would have made 8 times their initial investment. If they invested $10,000 in the index fund today, they could expect to have about $80,000 there in the year 2018.
While there are no guarantees, the historical evidence suggests these are reasonable expectations. It's also entirely reasonable to expect that a professional managing your money -- taking cuts for every trade or with her eye first attending total assets under management not market outperformance -- will return you less than that market average. History suggests as much.
Unfortunately, the national financial media isn't concentrated yet on long-term market performance nor on the negative effects of compensation systems that reward short-term thinking on Wall Street. Some of our financial reporters don't have the context or the capacity or the freedom to explain an investment philosophy that both doesn't care if the market falls 25% in the next six hours or six months and doesn't believe that active professional management without scrutiny is a net gain for individuals. For that reason, some financial reporters -- certainly not all -- cannot yet accurately report on what we're all doing here at the Motley Fool each day.
And that's... all right. Because, in the end, our service online, in newspapers and books, and on the radio in a few weeks is not built to make the financial press happy. We're trying to be servants of America, for you and with you. That fits the spirit of my high school prescript: Cui servire est regnare. To serve is perfect freedom. To serve is to rule.
We happen to think there's great value in service to common Fools across the country who, like us and you, received no basic financial education in school and heretofore were subject to an often fortune-hunting concentration on the short-term in the media and on Wall Street. We were beholden to a message that promoted that someday soon it might all end badly and that without professional help, we'd probably all end badly with it.
That's been a pretty expensive message for individuals. The historical results prove that out.
If the next hundred years look anything like the past hundred, then low-cost indexing in the U.S. market will provide extremely healthy returns (certainly far better than state-run lotteries). It may sound preposterous, but the S&P 500 Index appears headed to 37,981,555 by the year 2098. And the Dow Jones Industrials are bound for 312 million. I won't be around to see it, but those levels will result from nothing more nor less than 11% annual growth for the century. And even if the market only proffers 9.5% annual growth over the next century, that makes for an S&P 500 Index trading at 9,742,867 and a Dow over 80 million by 2098. A pretty nice investment.
We happen to think we can beat those returns by learning about individual businesses, like Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Pfizer, Gap, and others here in the Cash-King portfolio. We also believe there are intellectual and social rewards to tracking the growth of our investments and the progress of our businesses. And while we do expect to beat the market over time, we make no guarantees to ourselves of it. Learning will improve our chances, though.
Now I wonder if in 2099 the financial professional and pundit will still be worrying that the market might fall 15% in the next year and promoting the idea that individuals and investment clubs should never try this on their own.
Hopefully, my ancestors and yours -- driving Mach-4 Space Dragsters and comfortably living to age 140 then -- will know to just methodically add more savings to investment, to buy and hold common stocks (or passive index funds), to become a part-owner in the businesses that make up our world, and by extension to have some say in the way that world works.
Sounds better than serfdom to me.
Have a great weekend,

Love Like Blood by Mark Billingham

Obsession by Amanda Robson

The White Road by Sarah Lotz
Published by Mulholland Books
May's crime novels all deal with love, family, obsession and cruelty, but in very different ways.
In Love Like Blood Mark Billingham takes on so-called honour killings. One of Tom Thorne's colleagues, on compassionate leave after the murder of her partner, involves him in an off-the-books investigation into a series of murders she believes have been carried out by killers paid by the parents of young people who are seen to have broken their cultural or religious taboos. At the same time Thorne's partner, Helen, is trying to uncover some particularly horrible child-sex abuse. Carefully researched and judiciously plotted, this is an important novel, as well as a thriller with all Billingham's characteristic wit and perception. It's good, too, to see poor old Thorne heading for his own particular, downbeat, version of domestic bliss.
Another unlikely form of domestic bliss is revealed in Philippe Dijan's Elle, the basis for Paul Verhoeven's film starring Isabelle Huppert. We meet the first-person narrator, Michèle, just after she has been raped. A strong, confident, middle-aged woman, she tells no one what has been done to her and gets on with her complicated domestic arrangements. Her hopeless son, Vincent, has taken up with an unsuitable woman pregnant with another man's child and keeps demanding money from her; her husband has left her for a younger woman; her ever-demanding mother nags her to visit her psychopathic father in prison. Only her business and her best friend work well for her and even they are under threat because she has been sleeping in a bored fashion with her best friend's husband. The rapist keeps texting her and eventually they meet again, leading inevitably to violent disaster. This is an elegantly written and absorbing thriller, which is also thoroughly disturbing in its portrayal of the pleasure Michèle eventually finds amid the disorder of her life.
Amanda Robson takes a quite different set of family circumstances in Obsession to reveal a whole range of marital cruelties. Her couples are far more suburban than Dijan's Michèle and the writing is not nearly as polished, but the reader's sympathies are efficiently manipulated first in one direction and then in another as Carly and Rob mix and match with Craig and Jenni, exciting themselves and each other and taking revenge whenever they can.
But their obsessions, fatal though they become, are as nothing to those of the twin narrators of Sarah Lotz's The White Road. Half the novel belongs to Simon Newman, once a troubled and misbehaving youth, who is now a climber and spelunker. His mischief-making days are not entirely behind him because he is working with his friend Thierry on a gross website showing film he takes of dead bodies and other horrors. The other half consists of Juliet Michael's diary and drafts of her forthcoming memoir. She is a world-famous climber, vilified for what journalists consider her selfishness in risking her life on the mountains now that she's a mother (criticism no male climbers have to face). We meet her making an attempt on Everest, with neither Sherpas nor oxygen. As she acclimatizes and prepares for the summit, she writes of her body's failings and of the difficulties her mind is creating for her.
Lotz uses the well known phenomenon of the third climber to show the disintegration of Juliet's mind in the thin air just below the summit. Many mountaineers have referred to a ghostly figure who appears just ahead of them on the mountain when they most need support. These figures are usually felt to be benign but Juliet's is not. When Simon, who has read her diary, follows her up Everest years later he experiences much the same sense of a malevolent being in his peripheral vision, just out of reach. Like Juliet, he must take action to face his terror. With none of the conventional thriller twists or revelations of evil-doers, The White Road is an exciting, engrossing and original examination of the human mind and body under intolerable stress.

Nice alliteration for the name of this post, right? Right.
Ok, I know. It's been like.. a stupid long time since I last posted a recipe. Excuses suck, but I have a some for you anyways. 1. I got a new job (with the same company) and I started last Monday. I have WAY less downtime, and I'm beyond exhausted when I get home. That = no new recipes and even when I do come up with something new, no energy to post about them. 2. I went to Kentucky last week to visit the Jim Beam and Makers Mark Distilleries. I can't lie, that was awesome. I'll post more about that with pictures at another time. When I got back I was so busy getting ready for the work week and seeing my mom who was in town for the weekend that I didn't do much else.
And then (this is excuse number 4, if you're counting), yesterday we got the most rain we have gotten since 1955 (apparently) and our garage flooded. Our two car garage that is a actually a gym. With 18, 100 pound stall mats covering the floor, and thousands of pounds in weights and equipment on top of that. You can imagine the fun of cleaning that out, letting it dry, and putting every single thing back. Granted, TJ did a lot of it alone while I was at work today. But I still helped put everything back after we worked out tonight. We only JUST moved the entire gym like 3 weeks ago. It was fun to do it all over again so soon.
That's our back yard. FULL of rain. Which led to..
A garage gym. FULL of 3 inches of water.
I just realized I don't think I've even posted about the gym being done. That's pretty bad, because that was a little while ago now. I'm going to need to post about that too, because it is the one thing that actually makes my life EASIER right now.
I go to the Outer Banks this Friday for a full week (can you spot the preemptive excuse that will come next week here?) with my boyfriends family and I couldn't be more excited. Seriously. I got to go on an amazing vacation last year, but this one will be SO relaxing. We won't be rushing around, sightseeing, and going, going, going. That's how my family trips usually are. And that's fine because we get to see so much, but sometimes you just need to do nothing for a week. And that is exactly what I plan on doing. Luckily, since I am so new to my position/territory, there shouldn't (fingers crossed) be too much work/emergencies that I'll have to handle while I'm gone.
Ok, now to this recipe. Remember that one time I told you that when TJ is hungover, he likes to eat kind of crappy? And that I like to let him eat crappy, but in a better way? Like with kale chip nachos? No, you don't remember? I don't either, but I swear I did at some point. Well, this weekend he announced he wanted pizza. After eating his crabs, that we caught in our own crab pots. Which I also can't believe I haven't written about yet. God, I suck at blogging this summer.
Here is a pretty picture of a passing storm that I took while TJ checked our crab pots to make up for my lack of posting lately.
Anyways, I decided I would finally try cauliflower pizza. They were inspired by cauliflower breadsticks that I made a long time ago. I couldn't find a recipe that I really liked, so I just made one up. You can too. Seriously. I made pesto sauce yesterday for absolutely no reason other than I was craving it, so while I was stuffing chicken with it tonight, it dawned on me that pesto would make a PERFECT substitute for pizza sauce in this recipe. I'm pretty pumped to try that out for myself actually. Don't go stealing my ideas now. Don't you do it. Ok fine, do it.
1 egg
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp oregano
1/2 can/jar of sugar free pizza sauce
Cheese, of your choice, if you're primal or don't care about eating dairy
Toppings, again of your choice. I did: spinach, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, garlic, cheese (mozeralla), bacon crumbles and chopped broccoli.
Preheat your oven to 450 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. If you have a pizza stone, by all means use that. I don't, so I just used a lame old cookie sheet.
Grate or food process your cauliflower the same way you would make rice. Put it in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 4 minutes. If you don't microwave, sorry. I don't know what to tell you. That's how I cooked mine, but I'm pretty sure it can be boiled on the stove as well. Once it is done, dump the cooked cauliflower onto a clean tea or dish towel and let it cool. Once it has cooled a bit, wrap up your rice in your towel and squeeze the hell out of it. The goal is to remove a lot of the moisture. I probably squeezed 1/3-1/2 a cup of water from it. Don't get too finicky here, just try to get as much out as you can. Once it is fairly dry, dump it into a bowl, add the egg and spices and mix it really well with your hands. Once it is uniform, dump your "dough" onto your preferred baking apparatus and press it out slowly until it forms a crust. Mine looked like this:
Yes, there is some yellow in there. Yes, I added some cheese to my crust as well. Yes, it will work just as well without that cheese.
Pop your crust into the oven for about 11 minutes, or until it is brown. You don't need to flip your crust. Once it is nice and crisp, take it out and add your pizza sauce and chosen ingredients.
Mine, pre baking.
Once you've done that, pop it back into the oven until all of your cheese is nice and bubbly; or if you are going cheese-less, until your vegetables are cooked. Knowing when your pizza is done is a pretty easy eye-test. I think mine cooked at 450 for about 15 minutes or so, but every oven is a little different.
Then, ENJOY!
You would never know this wasn't real pizza. And the crust held all of the toppings so well! (Pardon my manicure. Nail and cuticle biting is a horrible stress-induced habit)

Seth and the Crimson Reaper
Its been some time since I last posted. Not much to report on any hobby progress. Except that I've picked up a knight! I'm back on the fluff band wagon, this time I've returned to the Flesh Tearers. I've decided the above knight will be the heraldry I paint on my knight to slot into my blood thirsty marine army. The colours I paint it will be slightly more in line with the flesh tearer paint scheme. No transfers for me either (as I don't know if I can find the above scythes on the included transfer sheet).
The list then at 1850:
Seth (can swap in librarian if desired - would allow me to take heavy bolters on my Baal Preds)
Priest - power axe
5 Assault marines - melta gun rhino
10 Assault Marines - 2 melta guns, rhino
10 Tac Marines - plasma gun, missile launcher, rhino
6 Death Company
1 Death Company Dread - lightning claws
2 Baal Preds
Storm Raven - multi-melta, plasma cannon
Knight Errant
Total Points - 1850
So without the Knight I have my 5th edition blood angel list. Not to competitive and what not. The Knight; however, will breath new life into the army I believe. I now have tools to deal with MC's and death stars (something that my army just folded to before). Also, target priority should help protect my embarked troops on the storm raven the turn it arrives.
Nice to have the creative hobby juices flowing again.

Hot Clip of the Day: Feel the Friday Spirit with Orfeh Belting for the Gods and Serving Trailer Park Realness
February 19th, 2016
by BroadwayBox Staff
Each day, the Bbox team trolls YouTube for the hot clip—sometimes it's a brand-new moment and sometimes it's a throwback to an oldie but goodie. No matter what praise hands are shot up, pearls are clutched and the repeat button is hit.
"Make Like A Nail (And Press On)" (Orfeh, The Great American Trailer Park Musical)
Ulterior Motives: Tony nominee Orfeh returns to the NY stage this Saturday, February 20, with her two-time Tony-nominated husband (and SVU star) Andy Karl for Lincoln Center's American Songbook Series. The concert begins at 8:30 at The Appel Room.
Ultimate 🙌 🙌 moment: Well when Orfeh sings there are several praise hands moments...sometimes even a hanky is waved or thrown. So for most singers the 🙌 moment would come between 1:25-1:45 but Orfeh saves the real juice for 4:35. #HowIsThisWomanNotWorkingOnBroadway
GIF-able moment:

We are a group of herbalists, medicine makers, and plant enthusiasts who have gathered together to also work towards preserving medicinal plants. Every member of the plant family has nature friendly practices whether its using compostable packaging, growing their own herbs, using organic ingredients or supporting local farms. All members on this list are striving towards making a difference for the planet.
The Founders
Aka: White Sage is the founder and owner of Aquarian Soul, a crystal infused wellness brand. She combines the healing energies of crystals with the potent plant medicine from the mountains and deserts in Southern California.
Aka: Wild rose is the owner and founder of Plant Makeup, a beauty brand made entirely out of plants. She created the concept of plant makeup, creating colors and tints entirely from her own grown herbs, berries and roses.
We are all about spreading and sharing the love of plants and inspiring a greater connection to nature. Being able to work with the earth is of the utmost positive work form, we strive to be able to have the natural beauty / products community reflect this. Trading with one another to encourage a family feel is a huge part of why the Plant Family was started. We want to support each other and honor each members unique voice. We strive to build a community between members no matter how far away we are from each other. Many people don't have a supportive community of herbalists or plant enthusiasts where they live, so we want to be able to create that place here with Plant Family. We all have a commitment to the integrity of plants, an enthusiasm to share natural products with the world and a sense of unity and love among all members. Each and every member does their part for the earth in some way so you can rest assured any product you buy from any Plant Family member is 100% wholesome for your body and the planet. Whether its starting a medicinal herb farm or garden, donating to plant related causes, using biodegradable labels or ethically gathering herbs from the wild- we all share a commitment to sharing our love of plants with the world, inspiring education and awareness of how beautiful our Earth is. We hope this community can inspire the world to be more loving and connected to nature.
