Hi there!
I adopted a sweet abandoned cat last year (Panda) who had come to me through my garden, and had no owners or chip. she's a very relaxed lovely cat, loves the outdoors (hunting mice etc) and loved spending long days in my walled garden (I live in Holland).
Unfortunately I had to move house, and I've moved to a new city and am on the first floor. She adjusted well (kept her inside for 2 weeks) and is enjoying the outdoor (safe) balcony.
However I can see she is itching to jump down into the garden on the floor below :) I'm in a small block of apartments (only 2 floors high, spanning about 8 houses in length). The entire ground floor (and gardens) are owned by the local council, they run parenting advice clinics there and the gardens don't seem to be used much, and are walled and away from the road. I know that it's advisable to keep your cat indoors or in a safe catio or balcony, so ideally we will stay indoors. But if she keeps mewing to get down after a month or two, I'd like to get her a cat ladder that she can use into the garden (it is a bit too high to jump).
However I just asked at the parenting centre downstairs and they said they don't want any cats roaming as they have children at the centre and it's a health concern. I've been here a few weeks and haven't seen any children in the gardens and the locals here think it's an extreme stance (generally in Holland, cats roam quite freely when there is access to a safe walled garden area).
Anyway my question is whether you think it's reasonable of the centre downstairs? I know some cats carry health risks, but she has her vaccinations etc. I keep her indoor / balcony life as enriched as possible, and she walks fine on the leash so maybe I'll take her for evening walks. She may well settle as it's early days, but so far she is mewing a lot from the balcony and I can see she really wants to jump down! Maybe she'll stop doing this if I keep her busy and she adjusts in the next few months.
Since it sounds like the garden area you are speaking about is used very little, I agree that it is unreasonable for the council to deny your cat access. However, it is their turf.
The idea to take your cat on walks sounds like a good idea and may lessen Panda's stress over a more restricted outdoor area. You might also try to create a mini-garden on your balcony to supplement the walking activity.
For such a major lifestyle change, I think Panda is adjusting very well in a short period of time. I'm hoping over time that the council will reconsider the decision to deny access to Panda.

I have a beautiful house, now that we've done so much work on it these past couple of months. My house hasn't looked this good since we first moved in. It's gorgeous. In preparation for the visit of the guy from the property management company, Homero and I spent almost all of the last three days cleaning, Homero outside and I inside. The children all helped, too. I had Hope and Paloma washing the kitchen cabinets.
Everything looked so nice I took some pictures, just so I can remember how clean it's actually capable of being:
Kitchen (look at those shiny cabinets! Nice job, kids)
The living room.
Of course, as I was reminded by the look on the property manager's face, my idea of a really clean house and yard is not the same as some people's. The man specifically mentioned getting something done about the weeds - he had no idea of course that we'd just burned a pile of weeds five feet high and ten feet across. It took Phil three full days to pull and chop and otherwise destroy all those weeds. But even after 25 man-hours of work, the yard still looks like crap, if what you are used to is the manicured cul-de-sac look.
Same goes for the rest of the house. This house is clean - really clean - by old farmhouse standards. We scrubbed the floors, the walls, and even touched up the paint in the high traffic areas. But as everyone who lives in an old farmhouse knows, there are cracks and crevices that will never be clean. There are some surfaces that cannot be cleaned, only replaced. Like the grout in the shower, to cite just one example. A sixty year old house will never be new construction clean.
We have done just about everything we can to fix up the house for renting out. The list is long: new carpet and new paint in all three bedrooms; new carpet in the playroom (about a half-acre of it); pressure washing and staining the entire deck; major yard work. We can't afford much more, even if we had the energy and the time, which we don't. The house is just going to have to do, as is.
In matter of fact, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my private assessment of the appropriate rent turned out to be just about exactly what Mr. Property management suggested. I had been thinking that if we were to rent it privately, I'd advertise it at $1250. Mr. property management suggested $1200.
Together with the rental income on the house in Seattle, we should have a decent income while we are in Oaxaca. We will not have the same income as we do during a year here, because Homero generally makes more as a mechanic than the house will bring in in rent, but of course our expenses in Mexico will be considerably less than they are here. That doesn't mean, however, that we are going to come out ahead. Preparations for going have been terrifically expensive so far.
The improvements we made to the house are things that needed to be done in any case, so the cost of doing them shouldn't really count towards the tally, but I'm counting it anyway. Because if it were just for us, we would have lived probably an extra five years with a moldy deck and disgusting carpets. We're cheap and we just don't care. I haven't kept good records (which, it occurs to me right this minute, was very stupid, since these improvements are most likely deductible), but we've spent somewhere like - let me see...
new carpet and paint for bedrooms: $1,800
new carpet for playroom: $550
deck: $400
paying Phil for yard work: $250
The other big expense is setting aside some money to dole out to Rowan over the year. She will have a free place to live (here) and a car with the insurance paid for, and her tuition and books covered, but that's it. Oh wait no, of course we are paying her health insurance. But she is going to be responsible, for the first time in her life, for her own food, gas, and share of the utilities.
We told her that we will help out, but that we cannot give her enough to cover all her expenses - nor would we even if we could. It's important that she start taking on a greater share of her own care and maintenance - greater responsibility to go along with the much greater freedom she will suddenly have when we leave. Having seen among her peers what happens when parents dole out extravagantly to meet their children's every need, she agrees with us. She has a part-time job and is proud to be making her own money, but we know that that will hardly cover even the most basic expenses. We have arranged to send her $300 a month, and have set aside that money ahead of time, which makes another...
Then there are the expenses associated with the actual journey. Plane tickets, last time I looked, were running about $800 a pop. Three of us will be flying. Homero will be driving the van, which first needs a new engine. I don't even know what that will cost but I'm going to assign it the conservative figure of $1000 (Homero has sources for cheap used engines). The combined costs of gasoline, customs tolls, and highway tolls will be another $1000 or so. Let's see, now we are up to...
Holy crap. I haven't added this up before now. $11,000. Yikes. Okay - deep, slow breaths. Let's cap it here before I hyperventilate and pass out. The negative side of the ledger reads $11,000. Let's take a look at the positive side.
Rental income from this house, assuming $1,200/month will be $14,400. The Seattle house brings in $19,200. That's $33,600. But my mom taught me to subtract at least a month's income for repairs, so call it $30,000. Property taxes, combined, run $7,000. Now we're down to $23,000. Good lord, I've already spent half of next year's income. But what's done is done, and it won't actually affect what goes into our pockets next year, just what's left to us this year. What WILL affect our cash flow is that I'm going to assume Rowan will have a few emergencies that require us to send extra funds - doctor's bills, car repair, that sort of thing. I'm going to budget another thousand for those, leaving us $22,000.
Divide by twelve and you get $1,833 a month. That's not a lot of money even in Oaxaca. We'll be living small. Allright, thanks for listening everybody, I'm going to go brew myself a nice cup of valerian root tea. Goodnight.

2010 FIBA Worlds: Round of 16 Analysis (Turkey-France, Slovenia-Australia)
Turkey 95, France 77
This game played out as expected. We figured Turkey's zone would give France's substandard offense plenty of issues and Les Bleus would struggle to score. The game was essentially over early in the 3rd.
Turkey's 2-1-2 was impressive once again. Their length plus their overall activity makes for a rough day for the opposition. What's great about the zone is that they can still clog the painted area, but still contest on the perimeter because of their length and shorter 3pt. line.
Once again Turkey got great activity from its guards at the top of the zone, who funneled ball-handlers to the sides. France committed 11 TOs in the 1st half. France finished the game shooting 12-for-24 from 3pt. land, but a lot of those were when the game was already decided. France managed only 2-for-9 from deep in the 1st half and shot 43% overall in the half.
France usually struggles mightily in the half-court and today was no different. France managed only 45 points through three quarters before scoring 32 points in a meaningless 4th.
France gets credit for doing a decent job attacking the zone. Got the ball to the high post and short corner area to create some quality looks. The ball-movement was commendable, they just could not knock down their shots (not surprising). The interior passing of the French was solid. That being said, they also forced a bunch of passes into congested areas, which was a big reason for their 17 TOs.
Hedo Turkoglu had his finest day of Worlds play with 20 pts on 6-for-10 FG, 3 assts and 4-for-7 on 3PA. Hedo buried two back-to-back 3-pointers at the start of the 2nd half that put Turkey up by 21 pts. Also added a patented mid-range pull-up going to his left early in the 3rd. Hedo also dropped some sweet dimes--set up Savas on a few pick/rolls.
Omer Asik did not do much of his requisite finishing off of rolls/cuts today, but he did score on two put-backs and drew fouls. Asik was once again efficient with his floor time--10 (4-for-4 FG) & 5 rebs in 17 mins. Ersan Ilyasova had trouble finding his touch but still added 9 pts & 5 rebs.
Turkey got some nice input from the bench, particularly in the 2nd quarter. Oguz Savas (9 pts) gave Turkey a nice lift in the 2nd quarter as a roll man. Reserve PG Ender Arslan (9 pts, 2 stls) added some 3-pointers and was another active guard in the zone. Reserve SG Sinan Guler was key with 17 points coming on a few purposeful drives, and finished in transition multiple times.
Turkey was dealt a blow with starting PG Kerem Tunceri going down with an ankle injury. Tunceri is a steady guard who takes care of the ball and makes nice pocket bounce passes. Tunceri thrives on the defensive end and is a key figure on top of their zone. Tunceri was active before he went down in the 3rd, tallying three steals.
Boris Diaw played his finest game of the tourney with 21 pts (8-of-14 FG), 5 rebs, 4 assts & 5-for-8 from 3pt. range. Diaw did a nice job out of the high post with some good passes, a nice drive and a mid-range jumper. But Boris threw two of the most nonchalant passes I think I've seen, part of his 4 TOs. Boris being Boris.
Nando De Colo made a few smart cuts for buckets in the 1st half. But De Colo did not run the offense with ease. De Colo has struggled all tourney running the point and I wonder if he's better served as 2-guard who occasionally runs the PG. Though, Nando did shoot the ball well in the tourney--49% overall, 43% on 3PA.
Dallas Mav Ian Mahinmi fouled out in seven minutes. Mahinmi did a few things well on defense in this tourney, but man, is this dude raw. I can understand why Popovich had little use for him. Poor feel for the game. Nic Batum (11 pts) hit a few jumpers but was not much of a factor elsewhere.
Turkey advances to the quarterfinals to play Slovenia on Wednesday. France performed about as well as expected considering its numerous absences. If France ever gets all its top players together, they should be a medal contender.
Slovenia 87, Australia 58
Now, this game did not follow the script we expected. Thought this game would be more competitive, but for whatever reason, Australia failed to show up today. Like the Turkey-France tilt, this game was essentially over early in the 3rd. This was a difficult game to get into because of Australia's ineptitude.
Australia did not score a point until the 3:30 mark of the 1st and only ended the quarter with eight points, The Boomers were not much better in the 2nd Q, and finished the 1st half with 21 pts. They did manage to score 24 in the 3rd, too bad Slovenia had 29 in the quarter.
Australia shot just 6-for-27 (22%) from the floor in the opening half and 0-for-7 from long range. They ended the game shooting 31% overall, 2-for-19 from 3pt. land. They had some short distance shots that would not drop.
Give Slovenia credit for forcing some of these misses. An underrated factor of Slovenia's ascendancy up the FIBA rankings has been a stout defense. I thought their defense would fall off when Rasho retired, but they have been solid this year and were great at EuroBasket.
Australia had trouble with down-screen action and could not contain Goran Dragic, which is understandable. Slovenia is tough to guard with their ability to put four guys on the floor with 3-point range plus a center (Brezec) with 18-foot range. Arguably the best shooting team left in the playoff round.
Jaka Lakovic led Slovenia with 19 pts thanks to another strong shooting performance. He hit a few quick dribble pull-up 3-pointers off ball screens and hit a step-back 3 as part of his 5-for-11 3pt. day.
Goran Dragic was a menace off the dribble, winding his way through the Aussie defense for nice feeds or buckets. The Dragic-Brezec connection was particularly fruitful. The Dragon had a sweet line: 10 pts, 8 assts, 4 rebs & 2 stls.
Primoz Brezec has done a good job in the tourney moving to open spots for scoring opportunities. And he was sharp today scoring on cuts/rolls. Primoz added 12 (5-of-7 FG) and should thank Dragic for most of his buckets. Thought Primoz was a quality deterrent defensively in the interior today as well.
Slovenia got nice contributions from Miha Zupan (8 pts, 4 rebs), Sani Becirovic (8 pts, 4 rebs, 3 assts), Uros Slokar (8 pts) and Boki Nachbar (7 pts). Zupan ("the Slovenian Scalabrine"), Becirovic and Slokar all hit two 3-pointers.
Patty Mills banged home three jumpers off the bounce and mixed in a few drives on his way to 13 pts. But was off on his 3PA (1-for-7) and was 6-for-16 overall. Mills had a solid tourney, scoring double-figures in all six games and averaging 14 ppg & 4 apg. He did not shoot the ball particularly well--39% overall, 31% from 3pt.--but he was able to keep his TOs down (1.8 per).
Veteran center Matt Nielsen's (12 pts, 8 rebs) activity led to a couple buckets off of drives, some drawn fouls and four offensive rebounds. Australia bigs Dave Andersen and Aleks Maric were not much help, combining for nine points on 2-of-11 shooting.
Slovenia moves on to the quarters to face Turkey on Wednesday. Slovenia has the type of shooters who could expose Turkey's zone. Though, some of their great looks are set up by Dragic/Becirovic dribble-drives. Should be a terrific matchup.

The Italian capital of Rome is an extremely popular location to take your tesol course. We are excellently located near to the Vatican and close to transport links to connect you to the countless other must see locations the city has to offer. The modern, comfortable training facilities combined with a large amount of jobs available throughout italy are good enough, but throw the sheer amount of history; culture and wonder to be discovered in Rome and you are guaranteed a memorable experience.
Rome is one of the most fascinating, historically significant cities in the entire world. Here, old meets new, ancient meets the emerging, in an atmosphere that would seduce anyone. Just imagine experiencing a balmy evening and a delicious ice cream, coffee or wine, sitting on the famous Spanish Steps or taking in the Coliseum, one of the modern wonders of the world. This will be a reality when you choose to attend our TESOL course in Rome.
Known as the "Eternal City", perhaps no other city has contributed as much culture, history or religious significance as Rome. For thousands of years, some of the most famous artists, sculptors, musicians, and political figures the world has ever seen have made their home here and left their mark on the great city. Their influence remains in the form of great landmarks such as the Coliseum, Trevi fountain, Spanish steps, the remains of the Roman forum and of course the truly magnificent master piece, the Sistine chapel. There is also of course the Vatican within Rome; the self-regulated home of the Catholic Church houses its own vast array of treasures and intrigue.
Rome has many places to sit and enjoy its fantastic atmosphere. The cities numerous old squares and cobblestone streets are ideal locations for tourists and locals to meet and talk, or enjoy the exquisite Italian cuisine on the many great restaurant terraces. You could forget which decade you are in as you take in this age old tradition.
Modern Rome has established itself alongside it's illustrious past and it is a great place to sit back and take in the modern Italian culture, known for its elegance and class. The ancient culture and history is a fine backdrop for what is a thriving, passionate, cosmopolitan city.
The historical centre of Rome is very small and localized, making it very easy to take in the more famous attractions on foot. The city itself however, is a lot larger and takes up a sizeable chunk of the west coast of italy. Access to the rest of the city is provided by an excellent, modern public transport service, which will efficiently get you to your destinations.
One of these destinations might be the tranquil, beautiful Mediterranean beaches Rome is close to. Being able to take in the history of Rome and then reflect on it in such a tranquil environment is a pleasure you have to experience.

What should I bring for course studies?Expand
Just like the first day of any other school, you will need some supplies. We will give you your course material and notebook, but you will need to have your own pens and pencils. You may also want scotch tape, a stapler, highlighters, colored pencils and markers, glue, scissors and white-out. You will also need to buy your own paper for the photocopier. All of these materials can be purchased from a store near the school if you do not wish to bring them from home.
Please note that we have wireless internet available at the school for hooking up a laptop but normally there are no phone lines in the accommodation. There are numerous internet facilities all over Rome and should you require a computer for coursework at the school, we have a computer with internet access available in your classroom.

I met Bruce Leininger during a reference check he was performing on an admired associate. He was just so thorough and professional, and he listened. He genuinely wanted to discover what made his client tick. Afterwards, I asked him to represent me in my job search and we began a similar relationship. He contacted numerous references, all of them impressed by his ethic. My needs were area specific, as family was my reason to change my career so late in life, Bruce remained engaged and professional in what turned into a 3 month search. He reached out several times per week and seemed available at almost all times. He offered reminders about interview technique and updates/links to potential employers, to improve my preparedness. What a kind gentleman, I highly recommend utilizing his services. Jim McGinnis City BBQ Bruce genuinely wanted to discover what made his client tick.
It has been a pleasure working with Jay Gray, Owner with Patrice & Associates. We're a small business that's rapidly growing and they have consistently worked hard and have provided quick results. It's taken the hiring stress off of us, so we have more time to focus on other important aspects of our business. They are on top of everything, and we can always depend on them to answer our calls, questions, and provide meaningful feedback. It has been a pleasure working with Jay Gray, he has taken the hiring stress off of us.
Margo is the combination of Consistency and Awe-inspiring Impact in human form. Margo took me on as a client and to be quite honest I cannot remember a time in my life where I felt more coached and prepared for what was ahead of me. From the very beginning she was extremely clear and concise on what the role entailed and the demands that should be met. From pre-interview and post interview phone calls, to texts and emails she never skipped a beat. Not once!!! Not only did I have the best recruiter in NYC, I had a life coach. The type of coaching Margo does cannot be taught, she is the very best that there is. Her advice was direct, honest and unwavering. Her emails and plans of action were thorough with no room for misunderstanding. Her uncanny ability to isolate your strengths and have YOU build on them has you asking yourself "who knew I was this awesome?"!! As I have progressed into my new role, Margo has been there every step of the way, as I stated before the consistency is unmatched. I am forever grateful for the part she has played in my career growth. I truly believe I will continue to work with Margo as I move forward in regard to any major career decisions. More importantly she establishes a trust between herself and her client that is needed the most when one is in the midst of a major transition. With Margo on your team, I assure you that you will have no other choice but to level up and succeed. Cherri Parks-Taylor, Senior Guest Service Manager at Club Quarters Hotels Margo goes the extra mile for Employers & Job Seekers!
Thanks again for sending so many well qualified candidates and being so thorough in your communication. I surely will keep your email close for future openings. Steve Cestari, Director of New Store Openings & Talent AcquisitionBarfly Ventures-HopCat

I have worked with gender and sexually diverse clients for 32 years, individually and in relationships, in projects and in private practice. I feel passionately about the right of gsd clients to receive non-pathologising and creative relationship therapy. Today I work in the NHS, in the voluntary sector and in private practice as a therapist, supervisor and trainer.
I have been a lesbian parent for 27 years. I work with many lesbians and gay men contemplating new ways to parent.
I joined Pink Therapy as a Clinical Associate in 2004 and have been course tutor for two cohorts of students on the Diploma in Gender and Sexual Diversity Therapy . In 2014 I will be co-running the first training in Relationship Therapy with Gender and Sexual Diversity clients.
I am conscious of the power invested in the role of counsellor/therapist and am aware of how much damage and distress has been caused in peoples' lives through misuses or abuses of power. Therefore I am attentive to how I hold my power, and respect for the rights and authority of the client is paramount in my work.
I am sensitive to the meaning of difference, particularly to people from minority groups, and acknowledge the social, economic and political factors that contribute to individual distress.
I have worked with gender and sexual diverse clients, individually and in relationships, for 28 years, in private practice and in voluntary projects. I worked at PACE as a volunteer counsellor, a trainer, a supervisor, a group supervisor, and as a management committee member. I joined Pink Therapy in 2004 as a clinical associate and have been course tutor on two cohorts of the Diploma in Gender and Sexual Diversity Therapy. I will be running The first training in relationship therapy specifically for gender and sexual diversity clients starting in 2014. I teach and facilitate workshops on lesbian and gay parenting , on working with gender and sexual diversity clients, and on sexual diversity relationship therapy, and offer training and courses on a number of issues related to gsd therapy. Over the years I have attended many conferences and trainings focused on gsd therapy.
I work with trans clients, both individually and with their partner, before, during and after transition, and with clients questioning their gender and or sexuality. I also work with kinky clients I work with same sex couples (and with people in relationships who may be questioning their sexuality or gender) and believe that relationships can take many different forms - I am working increasingly with people in polyamorous relationships. I work with couples where one partner has transitioned and the new gender is impacting the relationship. I also work with many lesbians and gay men who are considering parenthood.
I specialise in working with gender and sexually diverse clients, individually and in relationships, at different stages of their lives, who may be facing many of life's challenges. I believe that there are different forms to relationships, and I feel passionately about our rights to receive counselling and psychotherapy that is non pathologising and affirmative to our lifestyle choices.

Thank you for filling out a witness form for HB 436, the Second Amendment Preservation Act.
At the hearing for HB 436, we delivered your, and about 1230 other witness forms from citizens all over the state in support of the bill. There were witness forms from every committee member's district.
The committee members were clearly impressed with the huge showing of support. Although they won't likely page through that huge stack of paper, our new Constituent's Voice application will allow them to read the testimony section in an easy to read online addition. They will also be able to sort the comments by district, to see what their own constituents wrote. (Note that we could not identify the districts for all the witnesses.)
Many of them included insightful comments which you may want to read. Click: Constituent's Voice for HB 436 (To protect the privacy of witnesses, only the first name and last name initial are shown, but the legislators get to see the full name as well as phone number and email address of those who gave permission.)
The hearing included good news coverage. Here's an example: Bill to nullify federal gun laws meets support in House committee
The senate version of HB 436, Senate Bill 325 (SB325), will likely have a hearing on Tuesday, next week. Be looking for a witness form link for that hearing. Not only do these forms help to elevate the priority of a bill, they become an important part of the public record and are stored in the state archives.

Strong sales for the latest incarnation of the annual "Madden NFL" and action sequel "Borderlands 2" were not enough to arrest the latest slide in video game sales.
Total industry revenue from sales of physical games, consoles and accessories in the U.S. was $848 million in September, according to research firm NPD Group, down 24% from the same period a year ago.
Including sales of used games and digital downloads, as well as rentals, revenue in September was close to $1.6 billion, NPD analyst Liam Callahan estimated. NPD did not provide a comparison for the same categories from 2011.

Hi Cheeka, How are you doing, Lion cut and all? We really enjoyed your visit last september. I know you had a good time and I was looking forward to hearing your stories about the picnic, life jacket,swimming and driving the Paito Boat at Diamond Lake, but I couldn't find it.
3/25/2011 08:18:14 pm
Not a whole lot has been happening this week. Mom and her friend got busy and planted a garden. I will have mom take some pictures to show when there is something besides dirt to see. We are looking forward to having corn, green beans, black eyed peas, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, spinach, onions, and swiss chard. Mom says there are some other things that she will plant later.
3/25/2011 08:31:23 pm
Hi Uncle RJ! It's good to hear from you! I really had fun at your place last summer. The pictures and tale of the adventure at Diamond Lake, which was a lot of fun, is located under the Umpqua National Forest page in the Oregon link. Go to Current Trails and Tales, Vacation 2010 pages, Tales from Oregon, and select Umpqua National Forest. The Diamond Lake stories are about half way down the page. Sorry you had difficulty finding them. Hope you and everyone there are doing ok!

· Leaders' budget meeting with Governor moved to December 1. The face-to-face meeting is scheduled to bring together Governor Bruce Rauner and the leaders of the four General Assembly legislative caucuses, including House Republican Leader Jim Durkin. Originally scheduled to be held on Wednesday, November 18, the meeting has been reset for Tuesday, December 1. The new time will allow preparations to continue over the Thanksgiving holiday.
In addition to budget issues, questions dividing Illinois leaders include workers' compensation, property tax relief, public-sector labor pay and benefits, tort reform, election process reform, and term limits. Many key items of House Republican advocacy have been barred from discussion and debate within the Illinois General Assembly in recent years. The role of House Speaker Madigan has come under discussion as an element in the overall operation of Illinois state government, often characterized in recent years as one of the "worst in the nation." Illinois currently has the lowest bond and credit ratings of any of the 50 states.


text: This isn't really an ootd but I'll take this as a filler post till my next proper outfit post. I've been too busy at work that I barely have time to update this blog. Any bursts of spare time I have was spent relaxing with movies and endless Youtube-ing. Over the weekend, I finally satisfied my sudden karaoke craving and managed to take some impromptu "OOTD" pics just cause the wallpaper was interesting. Do forgive the lack of quality in the pictures as these were taken in a dark room. I should totally add karaoke as one way to de-stress because there is just something about screaming your lungs out that reduces those stress hormones....Someone should write a paper on that :)

While I acknowledge that President Obama perhaps has not done enough for the economy (and has not succeeded in reducing unemployment as much as one would like), I think it's important to remember that he's one man and that he's accomplished quite a bit despite the erection of sizable roadblocks from the GOP. (See, it is possible to use the word erection in a sentence and not have it mean something dirty!) Our memories are short, though. I had to do some Googling myself in order to be reminded of the President's many accomplishments.
Although Mitt Romney may have a certain amount of business acumen, I'm not sure it makes up for all he lacks. During the campaign, he made his disdain for women, same-sex couples, and low-income families pretty clear. Had he become president, I was also extremely concerned that he would strip away environmental protections. At times he has stated that he accepts the concept of climate change, and at other times he has rejected the concept. The dude makes me nervous. I think it makes me a little bit apprehensive any time someone rejects science. And don't even get me started on axing PBS (.00014% of the federal budget) and Planned Parenthood (check out this graph if you haven't seen it - one of their primary activities is doling out birth control and the more they dole out, the lower the abortion rate will be . . . or at least that theory seems viable in my mind). I will say that as frightened as I am of Mitt Romney, I was even more frightened of Rick Santorum. :::shudder:::
My daughter accompanied me to the polls on Tuesday. She fully understands that her dad and I belong to different political parties. We also practice different religions and have lots of other differences, too (music, books, movies, etc.) So, if nothing else, she'll grow up understanding that she has lots of choices. I'm trying to raise a free thinker here! She accompanied me into the voting booth, and I showed her my ballot and how it all works. I'm hoping that she'll remember the importance of voting and of paying attention to what elected officials are up to (good or bad).
I did a little math and my daughter will vote in her first presidential election in 2024, when she will be 19 years old. I will be 54 . . . assuming she hasn't driven me into an early grave. She seems to be making that her full-time job lately (lots of eye-rolling, smart ass comments, etc.), so we'll see . . .

Do you really wanna hear the whole story behind 'Major Lazer'...? Its on the other side...
Well...here it is....
Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. The US military rescued him and repurposed experimental lazers as prosthetic limbs. Since then Major Lazer has been a hired renegade soldier for a rogue government operating in secrecy underneath the watch of M5 and the CIA. His cover is that of a dancehall night club owner from Trinidad and he enlisted the help of long-time allies and uber-producers, Diplo and Switch, to produce his first LP. His true mission is to protect the world from the dark forces of evil that live just under the surface of a civilized society. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, and has a rocket powered skateboard.
As part of a plan to subdue the forces of evil with a batch of futuristic dancehall bangers, the three encamped at Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica to record the Major Lazer record. The product of this collaboration is Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do, a collection of tracks that draws from the rich dancehall tradition of Jamaica, the futuristic dance-floor-killing aesthetic of Diplo and Switch, and contributions from some of the biggest names in dancehall today. The record runs global pop culture through the filter of Major Lazer's particular brand of 80's-inspired digital dancehall, at once an homage to a bygone era and a look to the future of dance music.

'Snow' much fun!
Sally made this fun page last year, after we had snow in Georgia. I really like this bright page with the blue background and snowflakes! This page was one of many that I got as a Christmas present this year - one of my favorite gifts. Peter, Luke and Anna-Kate had a blast playing in the snow. Recently (January 7th, 2010) we had a little more snow in Alpharetta and I have new snow pictures I will post soon. Our beloved dog, Bernie, is in one of these pictures because he likes to play in the snow too! This morning we woke to 15 degrees at 7 a.m. So much for Global Warming. I hope to post more of the creative pages Sally has made soon! Hope you are warm and well and have a blessed day!

I'm one of those farmers who can be weather obsessed! Love your pastoral scenes, especially the one of the dairy herd.ReplyDelete
Canadians talk a lot about the weather, too, and we're not all farmers! I had to laugh when I read your remark about not getting to where you need to be if you stopped every time you wanted to take a photo. I can certainly relate to that!ReplyDelete
Wonderful farms, fences and animals. Such beautiful skies, too. We talk a lot about weather and we don't even have a farm...ReplyDelete

The life of a farming community does indeed revolve around the weather. Both the old family diaries that I had published included a daily weather report. It was interesting to see how much the weather really hasn't changed overall, other than for the extremes we seem to get now. Very happy birthday wishes to you Shane!!ReplyDelete
Great photos. Beautiful scenery. Have a blessed day. MadelineReplyDelete
