They've been around close to 20 years, but Piroshky, Piroshky doesn't get old. Anyone who's walked through Pike's Place Market will have been drawn in by the intoxicating, beautifully buttery smells emanating from this market hole-in-the-wall bakery, specializing in the sweet and savory Russian rolls.
There's almost always a line out the door on weekends, caused in part by the overwhelming selection of items that stalls each customer as they take their turn ordering at the counter. I went with the chocolate cream hazelnut roll and (why stop with just one?) the coffee cinnamon roll. The chocolate hazelnut roll turned out to be not quite my thing:
The dough was good, but the filling tasted like nutella mixed with marshmallow fluff – not necessarily a bad thing, but a little too gelatinous for my taste. I generally don't like cream-filled pastries, though, so don't rule it out for yourself! My next choice, however, the coffee-cinnamon roll, was perfect:
Why has no one else thought to combine these flavors? Coffee in a cinnamon roll sounded like heaven to me, and it was. I heated it and ate it for breakfast the next morning… delightful. Next on my list are the apple cinnamon roll, the marzipan roll, and the poppy seed raisin roll. And the rhubarb roll. And I should probably try some of the savory ones too…

Most of us hold retirement savings in IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and pensions. If you are like many people, you've held these assets for a long time and have seen them grow. Because of the way these funds are distributed, you likely will not use all of your retirement money during your lifetime. So, the question for many individuals is, "What will I do with my unspent retirement savings?"
It is common practice to designate family members as beneficiaries of your retirement accounts. The problem with doing this is that most of your savings will never go to your loved ones.
You can make a gift to U-M after your passing and care for your loved ones by creating a testamentary charitable remainder unitrust funded with your retirement assets. You can actually put this plan into motion now by creating the trust and making the trustee the beneficiary of your retirement funds. At your death, the trust will be funded and begin paying income to your loved ones. Your estate will benefit from an estate tax charitable deduction, and you will rest easy knowing that your family and U-M are well cared for. Contact us for more information.
Perhaps the easiest way to make a gift of your retirement assets through your estate is with a bequest. Your attorney can help you include language in your will or trust directing that a gift be made to the University of Michigan. The benefit is twofold: your estate will receive a charitable deduction to help offset estate taxes, and your gift will enable us to continue our mission in the future. Contact us for more information on how to include U-M in your future plans.
While most people would like to care for family members after they are gone, the problem with giving your unspent retirement savings to your family (other than your surviving spouse) is that the majority of your savings will be taxed. First, your estate will pay tax on the asset, and then your family members will pay tax at their ordinary income rate, resulting in very little of your remaining money actually going to your family. The better solution is to give your family assets that step-up in basis, such as stock and real estate. Unlike your retirement assets, these assets may be received and sold by your family without paying any tax. If you are looking for ways to save on estate tax, your retirement assets actually make a better gift to U-M. This is because the University of Michigan can receive the entire asset tax-free and make use of it to further our educational mission.

Lady M Confectionery seems to be in the hype and a dessert lover like me will never missed it.
I head over to Marina Square with Michelle to try out the taste. We ordered four slices of cake, including their bestseller. Do drop by early because by 8 pm the store would get slightly crowded and their cakes will sells like hotcakes.
We wanted to try their Strawberry Mille Feuille, which sadly was sold out. Eventually we ordered their best seller and their boss/in charge recommended us Gataeu Nuage(cheesecake) but we are overdoses with cakes so we don't want something so heavy, instead we choose their fruit cake which is popular among the diners.
Cake #1: Lady M® Mille Crêpes $7.50
Paper-thin handmade crêpe, layered with ethereal light pastry cream.
The crêpe literally melts in the mouth and easily blend in with the cream with every bite, furthermore it's not overly sweet. However, the so-called ethereal light pastry cream tasted like normal whipped cream to me. It wasn't surprise to see that it's their bestseller as it has a great finishing to it except for the cream. It feels like I'm overdose on cream than crêpe, which apparently preferred the latter.
Cake #2: Strawberry Shortcake $7.50
The classic strawberry shortcake made using Japan's superfine flour, no wonder the sponge part taste super fluffy and soft. The cake isn't too sweet and overpowering, brings out a soft and light sweet taste in your mouth. Perfect for non-sweet lover.
Cake #3: Checkers $8
The cake turns out to be Black & White like its name has suggested. It's a combination of vanilla and dark chocolate sponge cakes coated with dark chocolate. The sponge isn't as soft as the Strawberry Shortcake and the cake turns to be too heavy as you savor it.
Cake #4: Tarte a la Mangue $7.50
Lady M's classic shortbread crusted filled with passion-fruit curd and topped with sweet mango. Best combination and I strongly recommend people who has a thing for sweet + sour to have it. I even take away an additional slice home (:
Overall, I find Lady M located at a decent location where it's not so crowded but at the same time it's not very accessible since it's at Marina Square. I think their layout kind of weird because of its open concept. However I find their cake decent and probably worth your time and money for a try. I strongly recommend their Lady M® Mille Crêpes & Tarte a la Mangue!
They even sells cake in whole, so if there's any celebration you can drop by and get your friend/family this fabulous cakes!

A Las Vegas man is hoping to get paid to have one of his testicles removed.
But don't worry. He hasn't lost his marbles.
In a trailer for the upcoming episode of TLC's "Extreme Cheapskates," Mark Parisi says he plans to participate in a medical trial in which one of his testicles will be removed in exchange for a hefty sum of cash.
"What you do is you go in and donate one of your testicles and replace it with an artificial one," said Parisi, who describes himself on Twitter as a Vegas show guy. "And when you check out after 14 days, you get a check for $35,000."
Parisi has managed to save more than $150,000 over the past two years by cutting costs and participating in several medical trials, including an Ebola virus study, in exchange for money or free checkups, according to a description of the episode from TLC.
"Everyone was panicked when my friend and I did that study," Parisi said about the Ebola study. "It was $5,000 for a week, so why would I not do it?"
Parisi has gone so far as to keep the scrubs given to him in the trials and use them for his everyday wardrobe.
Some of the more controversial trials, such as a heart-stopping study, that Parisi has tried to participate in have been shut down by the Food and Drug Administration, he said.
"They stop your heart for one minute, but you still breathe," said Parisi, adding that the 14-day study would have paid him $25,000.
Since September, Parisi has been counting down the days on his Twitter account until the airing of the reality television show.
The episode of "Extreme Cheapskates," premieres today at 9 p.m. EST on TLC.

Betty Lewis, is a registered veterinary technician and holistic animal health consultant, working in the profession since the 1970's. Over the course of 40 years, she has observed a fascinating trend.
Rather than becoming healthier as a result of modern medical advances for dogs and cats, including vaccination, our companion animals are more susceptible to illness and plagued with chronic disease. She chronicles this experience.
I first started working in the veterinary profession in 1973. The word "trauma" sums up my memory of those early years. Outside of routine spays and neuters, the main reason that animals showed up at this vets included what we called "HBCs" or "hit by cars", also, cats who got caught in car fan belts, dog fights, cuts and scratches and broken limbs. In other words, there were a lot of otherwise healthy animals who ended up needing veterinary attention because of accidents. We did not see an overwhelming amount of chronically ill animals.Betty is not the only veterinary professional to notice the decline in the overall health of our companion animals.
I left that practice in 1976, so my memory of the next veterinary hospital pertains to the late 1970s. In that hospital, the character had changed a little and now we saw more allergies, bloats and growth issues, like panosteitis.
The next hospital was in the early 1980s and by that time we were seeing parvovirus cases, and more metabolic diseases like diabetes in dogs, cancer and heart failure.
By the late 1980s, animals were showing severe signs of illnesses. Even more diseases began to be commonplace such as dental diseases, kidney failure, hypothyroid (dogs), hyperthyroid (cats), diabetes continued in dogs, but now emerged in cats as well, cardiomyopathy, cancers, and serious autoimmunities such as lupus, myasthenia gravis and others.
From the late 1990s to the present, all of the above diseases continue across breed lines, sometimes across species lines and there are new problems being added all the time. IBD/IBS (inflammatory bowel disease/syndrome) was unheard of when I left veterinary practice in 1987 to open my holistic consulting business, but is now nearly at epidemic proportions. Seizures and temperament problems are common now and there are more cancers and autoimmune diseases.
Will Falconer, DVM and certified veterinary homeopath, noticed the same phenomenon in the health of house cats, which he discusses in a widely-published article.
Interestingly enough, the diseases that are quite common in cats now were virtually unknown in the late 70's when I was in veterinary school. We had two donated diabetic beagle siblings who lived in the hospital and taught us about this strange disease. It was something we never saw in cats, and it was pretty uncommon in dogs for that matter. We learned of hypothyroidism from several canine cases, but cats didn't have thyroid problems, and hyperthyroidism was not in the books or the exam rooms. We saw horrible skin allergies in dogs, with crusts and scabs and red feet and unending itchiness, but we didn't see cats with this disease, either.
Well, if you've been observant in recent years, you know that these chronic diseases are fairly commonplace now in the feline population. As are heartworm (again, a dog disease originally), asthma, kidney failure, inflammatory bowel disease, dental calculus and decay, heart disease, and cancer. Why? Could it be that the cat is now following the same road that the dog has gone down? I think so, and what's more, I think we need to redefine what is the best way to raise a healthy animal.
In his practice, veterinary homeopath, Richard Pitcairn, DVM PhD, zeroed in on the underlying cause of seemingly intractable conditions in dogs and cats - vaccinosis.
It gradually dawned on me that the underlying problem in some of my difficult cases was a state of illness that had been induced by vaccination. So, rather than simply use a totality of symptoms to choose my prescription, I found it more effective to emphasize the rubric "Vaccination, effects of" almost to the exclusion of other remedies. In this way, I was able to make progress in some very frustrating clinical situations.Vaccine damage was first described as a chronic disease in 1884 in a book entitled Vaccinosis and Its Cure by Thuja with Remarks on Homeoprophylaxis, by J. Compton Burnett, MD, published in London.
The effect of vaccination, besides the physical effects of stimulating an antibody response, is to establish a chronic disease — one that is long-lasting, indeed, in some cases a lifelong, condition.Another way of saying this is that the laboratory process to modify a viral disease to make a strain suitable for vaccination converts the disease from acute to chronic. The virus must be changed to dilute its natural tendency to arouse a strong response. But instead of only triggering memory cells, it establishes a chronic disease that has never been seen before in clinical practice.
This sounds like bad science fiction until you look more closely at the theory as Dr. Pitcairn explains it in a conference presentation he gave to professional colleagues in 1993.
Canine distemper, a very old disease of dogs, is well known in its clinical manifestation. According to The Infectious Diseases of Domestic Animals [1] the major symptoms are:
What I am suggesting to you is that, because of repeated vaccination, the acute disease of canine distemper has changed form to appear as a variety of chronic diseases. The original disease, Distemper, has been, for the most part, replaced by Distemper Vaccinosis, a chronic disease of great variety. This chronic disease also creates a susceptibility to new acute forms of distemper like parvovirus. Because, by its nature, chronic disease is more developed than an acute disease, the many ramifications of this condition have been given new names from the mistaken idea that they are different and distinct diseases.
- Watery discharge from eyes and nose.
- Conjunctivitis, with discharge (eventually purulent).
- Vomiting and diarrhea, loss of appetite.
- Watery feces, mixed with mucous, offensive and often bloody feces; intense malaise, loss of weight, and death.
- Severe, fetid diarrhea.
- Spasms, fits, epileptiform seizures.
- Paralysis.
- Eruption around the mouth where hair meets the naked skin of the lips.
- Swelling of the feet, red footpads.
- Pneumonia.
- Eruptions on the skin of pustules, on the abdomen, inside the thighs, and elsewhere.
- Emaciation.
In Table 1, the acute, natural form of the Distemper has become the chronic disease indicated.
(Click image to enlarge.)
Dr. Pitcairn's analysis similarly develops vaccine to chronic forms of Rabies and Feline Panleukopenia.
What does this mean?
At the bottom line, vaccines are not harmless. They can and do cause adverse reactions. If these are not recognized and handled accordingly, they can develop into chronic complaints that rob our pets of their life's quality and longevity.
Let me show you.

Fall has arrived. It's turned cold and grey. The heat is on. And tonight, we turn back the clocks. I usually hate the weekend we turn back the clocks. It means winter is coming, the days will seem even shorter since it gets dark even earlier. But since I don't have to get up before dawn to go to work and I won't be holed up in an office all day to come home when it's already dark, it doesn't seem to be depressing me as much this year.
Tonight we're going to drop in on Claire's going away party. Then, next Thursday we all set out to accompany her to Northampton. I'm looking forward to it. It's exciting, I think. I enjoy having my kids living near me, but I also like the idea of them being off, getting on with their own lives, and of us having the chance to visit them. I guess I'm thinking of how my parents felt when I told them I was going to get married and live in France. They latched on to the idea of visiting France and loved it. It only became difficult when we had our children and could not afford to visit them as much as we'd've liked and then when they became too ill too travel. For a while, a pretty long while, it was great.
One of the disadvantages, however, was that my children didn't see their American grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins as often as they might have if we had lived in the States. But I'm not so sure because who knows where in the States we would have lived. An advantage was all the traveling we did because we often just managed to stop and see the folks on the way to or from somewhere else.
I see our friends and family, as they have started being grandparents, how involved they still are in their kids' lives. I wonder if we will be, if our kids will call on us, how we will react.
Thinking about this is a result of our visit to Caroline and Jeremy in Brussels last week. They've just had twin daughters and their little girl, Manon, has just turned two. They've got their hands full. It's obvious that when you visit at this stage, it's not a social call; you expect to help out a bit. We loved every minute of it - giving bottles, burping, taking Manon to the swings, letting the sleep-deprived parents take a short nap - everything. There's no doubt that if any of my kids needed me under similar circumstances, I would come running. But once the urgency passes I think I would like my grandparent role to be more exceptional - special. I think my kids remember their visits to or from grandparents because they were so special. I don't know; time will tell.

On Avalon and a desire for competition
The next version of Windows, code-named "Longhorn" has three main sub-systems: presentation (code-named "Avalon"), data (code-named "WinFS"), and communication (code-named "Indigo"). Avalon consists of a new collection of classes added to the .NET framework in addition to a spanking new markup language [again code-named] "XAML" or Extensible Application Markup Language. The way I see it, XAML is meant to accelerate the demise of HTML by a few dozen years. It is similar in concept to the Extensible User Interface Language (XUL) from the Netscape/Mozilla camp. [I will not get into who copied whom. That argument is a never-ending waste of time and bandwidth and is best relegated to whine fests at Slashdot].
A typical application written to Avalon will end up using both program code as well as markup code. Everything you can do in markup you can also do in program code. But not vice versa. So let's look at a snippet of XAML markup:
<Button Background="Silver" FontSize="10pt">
This represents a Button element with a couple attributes. XAML tags are tied to the Avalon class library in that each tag such as 'Button' is actually a class and the attributes specified are actually properties of that class. For that matter any class with a public no-arg constructor and public accessor/mutator (getter/setter) methods [ or 'Bean' as we Java developers refer to them] qualifies as a tag in XAML. So the above code snippet can be redefined in C# as:
Button button = new Button();
button.Background = Brushes.Silver;
button.FontSize = new FontSize(10, FontSizeType.Point);
button.Content = "Demo";
Simple eh? Microsoft in a master stroke has reduced Windows UI programming to this kind of idiocy. But wait, Visual Studio .NET will auto-generate markup with a few mouse-clicks and keystrokes. That's just perfect for all us poor sods who were frequently dropped on their heads by their parents. Java Swing developers will catch on fast to the panels, layouts and event handling model in Avalon.
No, I am not jumping onto the .NET bandwagon, now that I have drooled all over this page. So what is the point I am trying to make here? It is this: where's the competition? The mantra of simplicity is a great way to evangelize a development platform. Innovations like Avalon -- that provide simple solutions to tackle hitherto complex (not to mention cumbersome) problems -- democratize the developer community. My friend Miral Shah always said "Visual Basic is for housewives". Well, I don't know about that, but I certainly believe XAML is. [I am not being pejorative here]
Unless the Java and GNOME communities get in gear and do something about desktop solutions using Java, XUL, GTK+, Qt or Mono [take your pick], there will be no fitting answer to the elements of Longhorn. Mono is an open-source .NET clone being developed by Novell (Ximian). They are now trying to implement the Windows.Forms namespace into the Linux platform. I think it is a worthwhile idea but a sad waste of time. Microsoft controls the .NET platform and whatever these guys at Mono do, they will always be playing catch-up with Microsoft. Plus Microsoft has the ability to wire .NET to Windows and by extension 90% of computer users out there. The .NET technology is optimized for Windows and vice versa. Try beating that 900 pound gorilla with your fly swatter! Instead of making Linux more like Windows, they should be focussing on capitalizing on Linux's unique plus-points i.e. the initiative and innovation it has fostered in the fledgling open-source community. This cries for something more fitting than a lame platform port of your competitor's software. There are existing projects out there, that in a correct combination, can provide credible alternatives. Some events need to happen in order to build a semblance of competition:
- GNOME must support Java via the GCJ open source virtual machine and even Sun or IBM's VMs. The GNU Classpath project must reach currency with the Java language specs [it is only a matter of time now].
- SWT (IBM's open source Standard Windowing Toolkit) is a platform-specific runtime that exposes widgets like text boxes, panels, and other familiar GUI controls to Java developers, but uses JNI to make native code calls to create and interact with those controls. SWT applications work across platforms (currently support exists for Windows, Windows CE, Linux, AIX, Solaris among others). IBM or the open source community can combine XUL and SWT to create an alternative to Avalon.
- Alternatively, extensions to the Swing API can be added to provide support for markup-based UI development. For all that people say about Sun, I trust it if anyone to pull something like this off, if they only stopped treating Swing like an abandoned child. Nothing significant has gone into that API in the past 3-4 years while Sun has been touting XML here there and elsewhere.
It is time we had effective XML-based form and UI definition languages backed by powerful managed runtime environments. Welcome, Avalon! And hooray for choice!

Visitor accommodation (VA) is where you use your property for short-term living accommodation where the guests pay fees to stay there. Depending on your situation you may need to:
- Register as a Homestay
- Register as a Holiday Home
- Apply for Resource Consent
Read the information below and then use our questionnaire to check whether you need to register.
Making your home available to family and/or friends at no charge is NOT visitor accommodation. Renting your property for periods longer than 3 months in a row to the same people is classed as residentially renting your property and is NOT classed as visitor accommodation.
However, if you would like to use your existing property or are thinking of building a new one with the purpose of short-term letting to visitors then the intuitive process above will ask you some simple questions about your property to which you will click the yes or no buttons. Your answers will lead you to the appropriate resource for your situation.
This may be a simple registration process for a homestay or an application for resource consent for a larger VA facility (i.e. Hotel). This online system will walk you through your answers and give you the information you need to proceed from there.
You can stop the process or back track to change your answers at any time by pushing the back button in your browser.
By answering these questions you are not obliged to undertake visitor accommodation activities, it will merely lead you to the appropriate place for your circumstances and help you to make informed decisions, you can then decide which form of visitor accommodation will work best for you and your family.

"City of stars, are you shining just for me?" Ryan Gosling croons in La La Land — and the lyric is starting to sound like prophecy as the romantic musical piles up awards season kudos.
But this has been a year of surprises, as a certain reality TV star demonstrated south of the border last month. Damien Chazelle's clever homage to Hollywood's song-and-dance past, pairs Gosling and Emma Stone as fateful lovers chasing fragile dreams. It's clearly the movie to beat for Oscar glory at this moment.
La La Land has set Tinseltown singing and tapping unlike any other film of recent memory, and Hollywood likes nothing better than a mirror held up to its face.
La La Land scored a leading seven nominations Monday for the Golden Globes, including Best Picture, Musical or Comedy. The awards handed out by the L.A.-based Hollywood Foreign Press Association are often an indicator of eventual Oscar nominations, if not always wins.
An even stronger signal is the Critics' Choice Movie Awards by the Broadcast Film Critics Association, a continentwide group of 300 journalists with more than triple the membership of the HFPA. The BFCA, of which I am a member, gave La La Land eight prizes during its televised awards Sunday, Best Picture among them.
These two pace-setting groups have never before coincided this early in awards season — Oscar noms won't even be announced until Jan. 24, with the awards broadcast on Feb. 26 — and it may seem as if La La Land is unstoppable. It hasn't even opened wide yet — Toronto's theatrical release isn't until Dec. 25 — so wait until regular moviegoers get a gander at it.
But serious challengers are in hot pursuit. Barry Jenkins' Miami-set coming-of-ager Moonlight is just behind La La Land with its six nominations, including one for Best Picture, Drama. Moonlight also did well with the BFCA, winning Best Ensemble for its cast of African-American actors, and Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali, the man to beat in that category for any awards group this year.
Kenneth Lonergan's tragic family story Manchester by the Sea is another serious awards contender, with five Globe nominations, including Best Picture, Drama. It did even better at the Critics' Choice Awards than Moonlight: Lonergan's script tied with Chazelle's La La Land in the Best Original Screenplay category, Casey Affleck won Best Actor and co-star Lucas Hedges won Best Young Actor.
Meanwhile, the other film group I belong to, the Toronto Film Critics Association, awarded Moonlight Best Picture and gave Ali Best Supporting Actor in our own awards deliberation on Sunday. Our 39 members also gave Manchester by the Sea two awards, which will be handed out at our Jan. 10 annual gala at The Carlu: Best Screenplay for Lonergan and Best Supporting Actress for Michelle Williams.
TFCA members didn't give any prizes to La La Land, although the film and its talent were included in more than a few nominations categories. It's a film loved by many critics — count me among them — but maybe there are other films that we love just a bit more.
Another thing to consider this year is that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has bolstered its ranks by hundreds of new voters, many of them younger and of more diverse cultural backgrounds than Oscar voters of old. It's a response to the justified #OscarSoWhite uproar over the preponderance of white faces in the annual cavalcade of gold.
It's impossible to predict at this point whether the newly expanded Academy will vote differently than it has it in the past.
I'm guessing that it will, although there's a cautionary lesson right from this year about making assumptions. Nate Parker's slave drama The Birth of a Nation was deemed a surefire Oscar winner when it premiered at Sundance last January, but later revelations of Parker's past rape allegation killed all talk of awards.
There's also the problem of award season burnout. People may tire of hearing for months that La La Land is guaranteed to win Best Picture and vote contrary to it as a form of protest.
The fate of La La Land could come down to another lyric from the movie's hit tune "City of Stars": "Is this the start of something wonderful and new? / Or one more dream that I cannot make true?"

10 years was awful. Everyone was just the same, except they could legally drink (and did so to excess) and all called me by my sister's name. (That's a teeny-tiny pet peeve of mine.) 20 years was slightly better. People had kids and more life experiences, but they still talked an awful lot about the glory days of high school...and called me Amy.
So when we heard from a friend that the 30th was coming up, I didn't want to go. And my husband did.
If you watch baseball, you may be familiar with the term "playing under protest." That's the attitude I adopted toward this reunion. I didn't get a haircut. I didn't buy anything new to wear. I didn't try to lose five pounds, and, what's more, I didn't worry about not trying to lose five pounds. (Even though, in all honesty, I could stand to lose
Yeah, I'd go to his reunion. But I wouldn't enjoy it. (Side note: I am not normally this passive-aggressive. I don't think. Maybe I should ask.)
But, surprise surprise, I did have a good time. After three decades, it wasn't so much a high school reunion anymore. It was a gathering of old friends, who happened to attend the same high school, sharing stories about kids, divorces, jobs, even grandchildren. There were a lot of laughs, hugs, and handshakes. Yes, the weird ones were still kinda weird, the drinkers still drank, the talkers still talked. And talked. But most everyone seemed grounded, comfortable in their skin, older and definitely wiser. I was actually glad I went (shhh), and it was almost enough to convince me to go to my 30th next summer. We'll see.

Jan 25 (Reuters) - E.W. Scripps Co said on Thursday it plans to sell all its 34 radio stations and cut related jobs as the broadcasting company tries to beef up its television portfolio while keeping a check on costs.
As a result, Scripps said it expects to save up to $30 million a year. The move follows a U.S. Federal Communications Commission decision in November to review rules capping television station ownership.
Scripps, which owns 33 TV stations, said it is drawing up a plan for a "more durable TV station portfolio" as it tries to withstand the anticipated shift in the industry from the regulatory changes.
The FCC decision is likely to spur consolidation in the industry as big media houses like Tegna Inc, CBS Corp , Nexstar Media Group Inc and Twenty-First Century Fox Inc have been pushing for a change in regulations that would allow them to expand.
Shares in Cincinnati, Ohio-based company were trading up 1.5 percent at $16.23 on Thursday after losing nearly 20 percent of its market value in 2017.

So, the 12th day of Christmas is almost gone, so does Epiphany. I really wanted to stitch a little project with the Three Kings but I could not find any! I spent a whole day searching and nothing, zilch, zero. Not on-line and not in my stash. I guess I will have to make a note of it and be prepared for the next year. I had in mind a little silhouette with 3 guys on camels and a bright star, stitched with white floss on the navy blue fabric. I will keep looking for it but if you have anything like that in your stash or know where I can find it, please let me know.
Did you know that in many Latin American countries, it is the three wise men and not Santa Claus who bring gifts for children? Children write letters to the wise men telling them how good they were and what gifts they want.
king's cake today, but the day went by and I never got to it. Maybe I will bake it on the Orthodox Epiphany. Orthodox Christians are using Georgian calendar and everything is a couple of weeks behind. For example, tomorrow is a Christmas Eve, on the 7th is Christmas Day and the New Year is on the 14th of January.
This week/weekend I've manage to stitch a little. On the 1st of January I started 'Snowing, a SAL with Tama. Isn't much but what you see here is the whole width of the first page. There are 16 pages in total. So far it is a very easy stitching with no confetti stitches.
I have also worked on the pin cushion until I run out of 'pale gold' floss. The good news is that the missing floss is on the way and in the mean time I can work on motifs that do not require that color.
Yesterday I've added a few stitches to 'Songs of the Season'. I love this piece and it fell good to get back to it.
I hope next week I will be more productive.
So long my friends,

Getting Back up to Speed [added Mar 17]
A lot has been happening since August (the date of the previous post).
In September, we visited Quail Gardens several times. We saw a concert by a band called Hullabaloo. We also went to the beach, and the Wild Animal Park.
In October, Daddy was in San Diego, and took some pictures at the waterfront. We flew kites at the beach. Cousins visited for Gabriel's birthday. Daddy went to Torrey Pines on a foggy day. Robby and Mommy got to ring the big bell at church. And, of course there was Orange and Black Day at school, and trick-or-treat on Halloween.
In November, Robby and Daddy went to the Stick Park. And for Thanksgiving we all visited Grandpa in Florida. We went bowling, and went to the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale.
In December, Rosco had an Unfortunate Adventure (he is all better now). Daddy had a birthday. The school had a Polar Express-themed parade. We visited the Garden of Lights at Quail Gardens, and saw a special guest. Cousin Ela had a birthday party. Grandpa came to visit from Florida. We all went to the Wild Animal Park. Robby and Daddy made a present for Grandpa. We had two Christmas dinners!

Cardiff to Weston cruise.
Took advantage of the quiet weather this week for an overnight cruise across the Bristol Channel to Weston super Mare and back.
Most visitors to Weston only see the town beach and pier but tucked away out of sight in the western corner of the bay is the River axe which can be entered at about half tide and has the Weston Bay YC boat moorings, their clubhouse and landing pontoon.
Locked out of Cardiff at 0900 Wednesday morning in light winds and drizzly rain,almost cancelled due to the poor visibility but this improved as the morning went on so luckilly I decided to push on. Used the outboard quite a bit as we were sailing but not quick enough to get there and enter the river.
Finally the wind picked up ,rain stopped and enjoyed a great sail for the last hour before reluctantly lowering the sails and motoring up the river at about 1230.
Spent the day lazing about and chatting to the other boat owners who were about.Then heated up a curry on my little coleman stove and walked up to the pub later for a few beers .Wobbled back to the boat and slept like a log until 0900 (unusual for me).
Tide returned about 10 ,30 then set off back with a perfect sailing breeze sun shining sea sparkling etc. So glad I didnt cancel due to the rain on the way over.
Locked back into Cardiff at 1345 having only used the motor to clear the river and get back through the Cardiff Barrage Locks.Really impressed with the Voyager now, She handled the small sea and swell very well for her size, hardly any spray or water on deck and never much weight on the helm.

A really fascinating Bloggingheads diavlog on Condi Rice, Bush's National Security Advisor and then Secretary of State, its well worth watching for several reasons. The inter agency politics of the Bush administration- Bush telling Andy Card you are the Chief of Staff get a cheese burger or the way that Cheney took charge at the National Security Council. Furthermore there are fascinating insights into the personalities- the effect of Karen Hughes who came along and made the State Department respond much quicker to rumours in the Middle East. Condi Rice also seems focussed on the first Bush administration- it went well then, so the argument is that it the same policies that worked on Germany would work in Korea, or that the same democratic flowering in Eastern Europe would work out in the Middle East. Furthermore Rice has consciously immitated the style of Jim Baker, Bush 1's secretary of state. This is a truly interesting insight into the minds of the current administration- well worth watching.

Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, author of Beloved, and Harry Potter creator JK Rowling are among speakers appearing at the event.
The book festival is run alongside the Edinburgh Fringe festival which attracts thousands to the city.
Tony Parsons, Louis de Bernieres and Alex Garland have also been booked.
Organisers said more than 500 authors were taking part in 650 events around the city, aimed at readers of all ages.
Festival director Catherine Lockerbie said: "We offer the greatest living writers and thinkers alongside brand new talent.
"This glorious carnival is a place to talk as well as listen, to make your voice heard and to meet like minds and make new journeys."
Scotland's own Liz Lockhead kicked off the festival with a reading.
Oppressed writers
Nobel laureate Morrison will give an Amnesty International lecture, drawing on her writing about black women and slavery.
Also joining the Amnesty International debate will be Scottish authors Muriel Gray, Iain Banks, Lord Melvyn Bragg and Julian Barnes who will be reading the work of oppressed writers, under the banner Imprisoned Writers.
Rowling will be giving a reading on Sunday from the latest Harry Potter novel at an event for fans in the city where she began writing about the young wizard.
The festival, which runs until 30 August, will also see Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh and former MI5 chief Stella Rimington making personal appearances to talk about their writing.

Yes, it's apparently called a "p-book"
I think we've gone full circle when someone has to make up a new word for the thing that is the opposite of an e-book. You remember, that thing that used to be called a "book" -- plain and simple. Now I just heard someone refer to it as a "p-book" -- aka a paper book or physical book.

The PAS 91 standardised pre-qualification questionnaire allows construction companies to pre-qualify for a range of contracts, reducing the need to complete multiple submissions.
The successful completion of PAS 91 benefits both buyers and suppliers by providing assurances of a specified level of standards. Implementing the PQQ reduces the amount of paperwork needed on both ends and allows for an easier, less time consuming bid process.
The Process Application
The process for completing your application is very simple and we can be as involved as you want. Whether you are looking for a review, partial completion or full completion, we can cater to your needs.
Once you have decided which service best suits you we can begin putting together your application. The first stage of the process is a brief telephone interview where your assigned bid writer will get all the required information to turn into completed responses.
This interview does not take very long and just requires details about your organisation and operations in order to create your answers. We will also send a small information matrix to be completed by you. This includes factual information such as company address, staff members, finances and answers to any yes/no questions. This questionnaire is very small and can be populated quickly by a knowledgeable staff member.
Full Completion
We complete all sections of your PAS 91 application, saving you both time and money. All you need to do is submit the finished PQQ.
Fixed Price
Cost for completion is fixed meaning you pay a one-off flat fee in order to qualify, and all submissions are completed quickly and efficiently.
Fully Compliant
As tender writing experts we know exactly what is required and can ensure your full compliance, giving you complete confidence in your submission.
If you would like more information on Pre-qualification questionnaires for construction, please head over to our PQQ construction resources page for important features and more helpful information.

The National Milk Producers Federation is asking members of Congress, as they return home for the August congressional recess, to meet with struggling dairy farmers in their districts to discuss the economic conditions affecting farmers, and the need for Congress to pass a new farm bill in 2012.
NMPF President and CEO Jerry Kozak said introducing a dialogue will help the House and the Senate understand the need for a Farm Bill. Kozak said the Dairy Security Act was a needed reform.
"We hope that Members of Congress will take time to visit local dairy farms to experience up-close the challenges dairy farmers are facing and understand why it is so imperative to pass a five-year farm bill which includes a better safety net for farmers," Kozak said. "We are approaching a crisis comparable to or worse than that of 2009, when dairy farmers lost $20 billion in equity and thousands of farmers went out of business."
Kozak said increasing cost of inputs are hurting dairies. The NMPF is a supporter of the Dairy Security Act.
"When you factor in additional operating costs, such as labor and energy costs, on top of the sky-high price of feed caused by the ongoing drought, dairy farmers are currently selling their milk for far less than the cost of production," said Kozak. "The Dairy Security Act would give producers and their bankers the assurances they need to continue their operations through these tough times."
Kozak said that farmers themselves should take this message to their elected officials during the next four weeks, with the hope that Congress can be spurred to action after Labor Day.
"We applaud the pledge from Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas,R-Okla., and Ranking Members Pat Roberts, R-Kan., and Collin Peterson, D-Minn., to continue their push for full passage of a comprehensive, five-year farm bill after the August recess. NMPF will continue to stand behind our agricultural leaders in this effort to pass a five-year farm bill this year."

It has been awhile. I refuse to give up hope that I can consistently journal, so just to get some words on the page I will do a little posting today.
It has been hot. Hot and dry. The sun is scorching our earth, killing our crops and withering our spirits. I feel the way I do in the middle of winter, when an unreasonable hopelessness descends and threatens to stay until weather-related relief drives it out with whips and shouts. The pasture is all brown (except the weeds, of course,) but I did manage to get some hay in the barn. If I play my cards right I might even be able to get all the way through winter. I really should think about getting another fifty bales or so in, but loading and unloading hay in 95 degree heat dropped a nice load of heat exhaustion on me and I think I might still be recovering from that after a whole week.
My tomatoes suffered some serious herbicide damage. It is unclear at this time whether it came from my manure contaminated with pesticides from treated hay or whether I caught some drift from local spraying, but most of the tomatoes are toast. I think I will be pulling some out today, and leaving only those that are still producing. I did get some absolutely fabulous broccoli out of the garden, and some beautiful cauliflower that never got eaten. (Note to self: we didn't eat the cauliflower but loved the broccoli. Grow what you love.) We planted some melons late, but they are growing well, finally. I have hopes of getting some nice melons before it turns cold again. Peppers have been a bit of a flop, fruits are misshapen and off-color, although with some heirloom varieties like "Chablis" the pale green color is likely spot-on.
The sweet cherries we bought at a local farmstand were wonderful, and we bought them out. At 3.99 a pound they are still cheaper than buying frozen ones from the grocery. Steve had a good old time pitting them with my hand-pitter, turning a section of counter-top into what looked like a surgical table when he was done, with crimson splashes of juice on the counter, walls, fruit and appliances. Good thing he's cute.
The floor in our bedroom is torn up. Just before I went out of town to The Clearing we had a massive storm system move through our area while we were away visiting friends. The wind blew the rain so hard through our open windows that our whole carpet got soaked, then ruined. We have decided to put down laminate, which will be much easier to maintain with the big dogs in the house. So I took the opportunity to repaint the bedroom, after agonizing over just the right color. It took me three tries at the mixing station at Ace to get the right color, and I am finally happy with it. I will be very, very happy to get the room back together, but we are still looking at a couple of weeks. Gah.
I am sort of at a point of being overwhelmed. there is a loot of mess to clean up- in the barn, in the house, in the garage, the shed, the basement. I am not feeling particularly motivated so it makes me feel all the more anxious about it. I have been struggling with feelings of depression again, and actually wonder if I didn't get a bad batch of meds. I mean, how would I even know of they had been exposed to high heat or something? My suspicion is that the underlying cause of said depression (and a host of other issues) is not being addressed, and I have taken steps to find out if this is true. I have made an appointment with a doctor out of the Chicago suburbs, who is doing a much more thorough blood panel than I have gotten, in addition to a saliva test to check female hormone levels. I feel like it is the right thing to do, but have no expectation, yet, that I will find relief. Maybe I am jaded, but I have never gone to any doctor for any chronic issue (even things like my plantar fasciitis) and gotten answers or relief. The jury is out until further notice.
The chickies are no longer babies, but adolescents on the very of growing up and beginning laying. I have made a ghetto-pen for them to hang out in outdoors if they choose, and have decided to wait until cooler weather to get their real pen built. I am also considering how to encourage them to stay in the pasture so they can free-range. I do still worry about hawks.
So there it is, a brief update. After a visit to The Clearing in Ellison Bay, WI I came home with a desire to write again, and I am going to try to nurture that. In this season of no work and little money for plants or decorating it is a good way to fulfill my need to create.
We'll see how that goes.

I passed a parental milestone last night. I took our oldest daughter to see Disney Princesses on Ice. It was awesome. Minus the three spills the "actors" took on the ice (an especially un-graceful tumble by Jasmine's Aladdin was one. Not sure how well the honeymoon will go after that one.) Tinkerbell's bottom was introduced to the ice as well. And yet she managed to still not lose her sparkle and bounce. Luckily, I don't think a single little person in the room even noticed. Unfortunately for the actors, falls are my comedic bread and butter. I live for them and laugh at them. Always.
E. and I got to enjoy a tub of popcorn, an enormous soft drink, and a package of licorice. All without sharing with the boys. My first mistake was at intermission when I foolishly stood in line with the intention of buying E. a princess wand that "spun." The kids around us all had one. Naturally, she wanted one. So, here we stood 10 deep in line while 1 guy (albeit incredibly talented and fast) waited on all 100 people in line. I scanned the merchandise until I spotted the wand...and the $22 price tag. Are you serious?? I stealthily backed out of line and explained that we would go to Target and I would buy her one there...for less "monies." Of course, she handled that news like the consummate professional that she is...she screamed her fool head off and dangled off my leg, begging. The only consolation being that I wasn't the only parent there with a child hanging off an appendage, sobbing and begging for something.
So...I piggy-legged her back to our seat and managed to calm her down. We watched the second half with Cinderella. E. was adorable. She laughed, clapped, and yelled hello to everyone. The lights came up and my little cherub's smile turned right back upside down. She resumed screaming and crying while I dragged her up the 542 cement steps to the lobby (the only down-side to having terrific seats so close to the ice.)I dragged her through the lobby, to the exit (naturally it was the furthest one from where I was sitting.)Much to many people's chagrin, she blubbered the entire elevator ride. It went something like this: "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease get meeeeeeeee the waaaaaaaand! *hiccup* Pleeeeeeeeeeeease get meeeeeeeeee the waaaaaaaaaaaaaand!*sniff, sniff*" I tried to act as casually and as normal as possible, but that's hard to when you have a small, snotting, boogery little person hanging from you in the dead-weight-tantrum-throwing position.
I threatened her as much as I could with my eyes while giving that ha-ha-kids-will-be-kids half hearted smile and shrug. We made it to the garage, waited in line until it was time for her to start college and paid our ticket. Then we wandered around for about a half an hour in the cold parking garage, looking for our car. We searched avery corner, trying hard not to be obvious that I was totaly lost. I got the knowing smile from several people anyway. Finally, the Lord had pity on me and reminded me that I parked one level up. We stepped off the elevator and *eureka* there was the van.
Thankfully, the ride home was uneventful. We made it. Our next trip...the circus. With all the kids. This should be interesting. We'll have to remember to take out a second mortgage and break into our Roth IRA for all the kiddie

What is a Body Lift Procedure?
A lower body lift also known as a Belt Lipectomy is a procedure designed to shape, tone, tighten and lift the abdomen, back, thighs and buttock during one operation. The lower body lift can be broken down into 3 components: abdominoplasty, buttock lift and lateral thigh lift. The procedure can be performed in one or several stages depending on the patients needs. The total lower body lift is a major surgical procedure that can take 3 to 5 hours to complete.
Who is a candidate for a Body Lift Procedure?
The most common candidates for this procedure are patients who have undergone bariatric surgery and lost a significant amount of weight. After pregnancy, many women have excess loose hanging skin that they cannot improve with diet and exercise. They may benefit from the "Mommy Makeover" which may include a lower body lift.
How does a Body Lift Procedure Works?
In the total lower body lift a circumferential incision is made around the body from above the pubic area around the sides to the top of the buttock crease. General anesthesia is required. During the surgery the patient will be repositioned on the operating table to allow access to all these sites. Liposuction may be needed to remove some residual fatty deposits in adjacent areas. The loose skin is elevated in the buttock, back, thighs, and abdomen and the excess is removed. In many cases the stomach muscles are tightened. After the incisions are closed, the patient in placed in a compressive Velcro binder. Generally, drainage tubes are used to help prevent fluid collections (seromas). If the procedure is very involved admission to the hospital is recommended for 1-3 days.
How long does it take to recover from a Body Lift Surgery?
Recovery from this procedure can take 2-4 weeks. You will be out of work for a minimum of 2 weeks depending on your type of work. Some of the problems that can arise include: infection, bleeding, healing problems, fluid collections, blood clots, and emboli.
The lower body lift is a very rewarding procedure that can make dramatic improvements in a person's appearance. You will love your new look.

Southern Atlantic Ocean, off South Africa
VNR ALERT: Breeze coming on for leaders with Cape Town finish on the horizon
Teams look forward to arriving in Cape Town.
Spanish team MAPFRE continue to lead the seven-strong fleet with a 33-mile buffer over second-placed Dongfeng Race Team at 1300 UTC on Thursday. With potentially only another 24 hours at sea left for the frontrunners, the action at the head of the fleet is heating up; only 37 miles separate the top three but the chasing pair are running out of time to overhaul the Spanish leader.
Although the leg is coming to a close it is by no means over – and the approach to Cape Town is notoriously tricky.
Vestas 11th Hour Racing and Team Sun Hung Kai/Scallywag opted to deploy stealth mode on Thursday as the second leg of the Volvo Ocean Race reaches its climax.

Customised web-based tool delivers better assessment of environmental impacts, reduction of turbidity levels and operational savings
Managing dredge projects to minimise environmental impacts is an issue found internationally. A large dredging operation of our client, Rohde Nielsen A/S – for New Zealand's largest port of Tauranga – required strict limits on the turbidity during channel works.
DHI worked with Rohde Nielsen A/S to provide a tool which estimated the turbidity level expected in the surroundings for any given dredge scenario with a combination of other dredging activities. This allowed operators to plan and execute dredging scenarios to estimate environmental impacts with more certainty.
