Trina's Kitchen: My senator failed the state
I feel so sorry for Dominick Dunne. He's passed away but however will he get any serious press attention competing with the other 'big' deaths:
Boston Globe - Foon Rhee - 27 minutes ago
By Bryan Bender, Globe Staff ARLINGTON, Va. -- Senator Edward M. Kennedy's long journey will come to an end here, on a grassy slope shaded by large maple and oak trees, just a short stroll from the graves of his beloved brothers.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Police say a car found in a parking lot in West Hollywood belonged to an ex-model who was brutally murdered earlier this month.

Los Angeles Times - New York Daily News - Telegraph.co.uk - Wikipedia: Murder of Jasmine Fiore
I'm not following the model's death. Ted's death?
He was one of my senators. He should have stepped down and before they found the tumor. He's been ineffective and ineffectual for years. And shame on everyone who identifies as 'left' who is praising him. As C.I. so aptly noted this morning, Bush's hideous No Child Left Behind wouldn't be a policy if it weren't for Ted. Now I can remember Ted defending Bush's faith based programs and taking credit for that too.
Ted was always a glory hog and never seemed to think much of us in the state. He would breeze in (a bit like John Kerry does) and think he could tell us anything and we were apparently dumb hicks in the sticks (anywhere outside of DC) who had no idea what was being done in our name in DC.
So he could have been glory hogging. But I think that was the last time I went to one of his events. I was disgusted with him at that point. When he was bragging on the faith based programs, that was just it for me.
I'm Catholic (as was he). I do not believe that the federal government needs to give churches money. We all get that churches aren't taxed, right? That's enough of a gift as it is. More than enough when you grasp how few churches exist to do church work.
So Ted was a lousy senator.
Amy GoodMan and BadWhore was serving up (with her toady) that Ted was so wonderful to endorse Barack in the Democratic Party primary.
That's why Ted sucked -- and he SUCKED -- as a senator.
Amy doesn't get it because she doesn't care about fairness or the people. If you did what she wanted, that's all she cares about.
In our Democratic Party primary, we went with Hillary. Not with Barack.
And yet both of our senators endorsed Barack.
Our senators, sent to the senate by us, are supposed to represent us.
It's not wonderful that Ted was so out of touch with our state that he endorsed Barack. It's another example of how he was patronizing. He saw himself as Mr. Paternal. And if he could patronize you, he loved you.
But if you asked a question too sharply or, heaven forbid, stated, "You said ___ on ____ . . .," he would go red in the face (largely the nose) and visibly shake from anger.
I never quoted Ted back to Ted and never asked a question sharply. I usually asked mine bored. Bored because I'm the mother of eight kids and I either had them in tow with me or was worn out by them even if they weren't present.
So Ted never directed the crazy rage at me. But I saw him do it repeatedly to others.
The country is 'mourning' Ted and, thing is, that just backs up my point. A grand stander. He didn't serve my state. In the end, that's what the US senator is supposed to do. Ted failed.

red.house: finally- a big poster of my most popular print!
: : finally, I have a large poster size version (15.5X19.5 IN) of my Traditional Kurbits in Orange available in my shop. Thank you to all my wonderful customers for your support and to those of you who requested the larger size print which is the reason why it is available in the shop today. There are currently only two available, but I am happy to have more printed upon request.
I love the orange print on our turquoise wall!
Just so I understand, the paper size is 15.5"x19.5"? What's the "image size"...trying to figure out framing/matting. Thanks so much!
29/6/11 5:29 AM
Hi, The image size, the actual size of the print is 15.5X19.5 IN. There is a white border a little larger than 0.25 IN around for easy framing. Fits perfectly in a IKEA Ribba frame, that's what mine is in. Hope that helps! Please feel free to contact me via email through the shop if you have more questions.Anna

WALL STREET RALLY MAY BE PREMATURE - The Washington Post
WALL STREET RALLY MAY BE PREMATURE
By John Crudele By John Crudele January 20, 1991
Wall Street was overjoyed last week by the success of the military action against Iraq. But the stock market is sometimes too quick to applaud the short-term positive effects of military action and myopic when it comes to the negatives.
The stock market customarily rallies smartly once it perceives that the "good guys" are winning a war. That happened during both world wars.
But stocks also staged a "victory rally" during the Vietnam War, which, of course, turned out to be inappropriate.
That rally began in June 1965, after American soldiers were killed in a bombing in Vietnam. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed nearly 20 percent in the next six months as the financial market decided that America would now have the determination to win that war. That assessment was wrong, and stocks gave up all those gains -- plus about 5 percent -- in 1966.
President Bush has vowed that the war in the Persian Gulf won't turn into another Vietnam. But in the weeks ahead, investors may be asking themselves whether now -- like in 1965 -- they made their judgments about the effects of the gulf war too hastily.
A lot, of course, will depend on whether the "good guys" continue their success against Iraq. Any setback, no matter how slight, could rile the financial markets in this country.
In addition, the reaction of the financial markets in the weeks ahead could turn on what the war does to the U.S. economy.
Yale Hirsch, a stock market historian who writes the Stock Traders Almanac, says that in 1966 the reality of the war -- i.e., the costs -- started to set in. And he blames that for the market's abrupt turnaround in 1966.
What do you do with your money if you are the type of person who is willing to take a long view of investing and ride out the present discomfort for gains a few years from now?
Gary L. Klott, author of the new book "The Complete Financial Guide to the 1990s" (Times Books-Random House), has given some thought to investing for the entire decade.
"The first thing investors should do when planning a long-term strategy for the 1990s," Klott said, "is to forget all they learned from the 1980s about which investments seemed the most promising and which industries offered the best growth prospects.
"The 1990s will require an entirely new perspective because the decade ahead promises to be far different from the one that just passed. Sweeping demographic, economic, technological and global trends are altering the long-term outlook for virtually every industry and the relative merits of individual investments.
"The halcyon days of sure and quick profits in real estate are over because of souring demographics for housing and overbuilding of commercial properties.
"The end of the Cold War means the 1980s' party is also over for the defense industry, despite the current Iraqi crisis.
"All the industries that prospered from the fast-growing young adult population in the 1970s and 1980s will see a reversal of fortunes in the 1990s, as the huge baby boom generation moves into middle age and adopts much different lifestyles and spending patterns. Instead of crowding discos and splurging on yuppie toys, the baby boomers are now staying home, raising families and splurging on children's toys, bifocals and minivans.
"In the footsteps of the baby boomers is a much smaller group of young adults, which portends slowing demand for new housing, new appliances, new cars and a variety of other consumer goods and services.
"Meanwhile, a swelling elderly population should create growing demand for health-care services, retirement housing, nursing homes, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. And the growing child population should lead to increased demand for toys, school supplies, musical instruments, children's books and youth apparel.
"New environmental regulations promise to make pollution control and waste management major growth industries in the 1990s. And the nation's deteriorating infrastructure will sooner or later lead to sharply higher spending on public works projects.
"With inflation forecast by most economists to remain moderate through the 1990s, collectibles, precious metals and other 'tangible' assets that thrive on high inflation will lack an important prop."
Nobody ever lost money by correctly guessing a teenage fad. And a newsletter called the Zandl Slant thinks it knows what America's teens will be into this year.
Editor Irma Zandl said kids today are into black clothing, although other dark colors like blue and green are also the rage. Some girls in a survey Zandl conducted opted for purple and pastel colors, but the guys were more partial to red.
The newsletter also is predicting that short skirts and tight clothing will be the choice of 16-year-old girls, while boys will like baggy pants and tattoos.

I didn't quite have good pictures, because I left my camera in Batangas. My BB10 saved my whole trip. I just took videos of our trip to Isabela, just for fun, then in the middle of the trip I realized that i can make vlog out of it. My phone's memory was almost full na. It was a really fun trip. I just wish that kuya was also with us. well, there is always a next time and more Adventures to come! Next time, itutuloy na yung pagliko sa kalsadang papuntang Baler. HAHA! The best part was to meet personally the relatives I just know by name, before. It was a short trip, tiring, but I can say it's worth it.
Bear with my editing skillz and video skillz (for me, malikot ang kamay). haha. Newbie here! It's cool kasi, I just discovered na pwede mag-edit ng Videos sa Adobe Photoshop, tapos nagagamit ko pa yung preset actions ko for the colors ng pictures ko dito sa blog. Nabano lang ako. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous light read :)
This was a lovely, light read about Marnie and the sweetshop she inherited from her grandfather.
Life is a bit complicated for Marnie, with her boyfriend going overseas without her, with having a helping hand from the lovely but distracting Josh and trying to keep a bit of an eye on her grandmother Celia as well! Her mum is overseas but then makes a quick visit back. Is everything ok with her? Should she stay in the village and keep running her shop or will she take after her mother and go and travel? Marnie is at a bit of a crossroads and there is much to consider.....
I really enjoyed this book, I liked Marnie and I was hoping that everything would work out for her. I kind of wanted to go to the sweetshop myself, not just for the pear drops but also for the view!
Anyway, this book is highly recommended :)
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture.

Hey Sweetie! You will have to bring your AG loving girls to meet my AG loving girls. It will be a party. Your mommy did an awesome job. It is no small thing to make a glove for a doll, I know. Big hug to all of you, Mari xoxoxxo
That looks like the loveliest of days - what a fun grandma to get to sew for the dolls and girls. That's what I need - a granddaughter or two to sew doll clothes for. I agree - bring on the new year - let's have fun!!!!!
At first I was in shock...she called my husband. How else could she know that we did movies (foreign films) and chinese? And then I started to cry...How truly thoughtful you are.
Merry Christmas Sara and family! And it looks like it was. How happy are those faces of your two little cuties! The doll clothes are incredible. Definitely the most high couture clothing any American Doll will ever wear. That coat from a scarf is so beautiful.
What fun to find your blog! Your home is lovely and your girls just adorable. I loved seeing the doll clothes. Your mother is both thoughtful and talented. I look forward to coming back to visit now that you're on my "favorite" list.God bless you!Linda

Studies in Islam, Year 7	1. Where were the three men going?
They planned to get away from the cave by calling on Allah by recollecting the acts of kindness they had done merely for His sake. 4. What was the effect of their Du’as?
“And your Lord has decreed: Do not worship any but Him, and be good to parents. If one or both of them grow old in your company, say not to them ‘Ugh’, neither chide them, but say gentle words to them, and lower to them the wing of humbleness out of kindness and say: My Lord have mercy upon them as they nourished me when I was small”. 6. Why do parents correct their children?
Parents correct their children because they want them to be good. 7. “Paradise is at the feet of mothers”. Explain.
Parents would be very happy if you obey them and listen to what they say. This would be of a great help to them. One can also help them by doing household jobs and keeping the house clean. One may help them by comforting them and by looking after them in their sickness. 10. What could one do if one’s parents are dead?

mags creative meanderings: February 2013
I though long and hard about whether to write about this part of my life. My blog is my happy place and is about the enjoyable parts of my life, but it doesn't feel right not to include why this is such a significant day for me and why. I clearly talk a lot about my lovely son Dan who is the light of my life but I was actually mum to 2 wonderful boys. Our lovely James who was older than Dan by 2 1/2 years died over 6 years ago at the age of 17. Today would have been his 24th birthday and so it is a very sad day for us. He was brave, funny, ecentric, loving, loyal, loved computer games, animals, history, Manchester United, his family and his home. His death was unexpected, due to heart failure. We miss him terribly and it would make me the happiest person in the world to be able to talk about my two sons and what we do together. So for today this is the saddest part of my life and please excuse me for sharing it and also some photos of James.
Dan, James and Chris
Posted by mags at 13:01 5 comments:
There have been some good times over the half term holiday during 3 days off! Dan wasn't home but I've made the effort to do somethings on my own.
A couple of bits of good luck too! I won £50 in a local hospice lottery and found £25 in an old jacket. So armed with some useful cash I went to a big antique Fair at the Reebok stadium which was much enjoyed, although surprisingly exhausting looking at so many stalls to try and make sure you don't miss a gem! Perhaps Bargain Hunt is more difficult than it looks! Anyway among my lovely purchases were another transfer cream pot and a jolly jam jar ..
3 vintage broaches, a lovely cup and a really nice collection of victorian and deco greetings cards. These cost from 50p to £3.00, less than you would spend on a new card and so much nicer. I actually prefer them when they are written on as there is a history there.
I particularly like the art deco poirot and columbine in the centre.
Here's a clue to another visit
.... a host of golden daffodils (well narcissi anyway). Yes, a visit to Dove Cottage near Grasmere, Wordsworth's house for 8 years.
No inside photos allowed I'm afraid. It is a very unpreposing, quite dark place but interesting to look round especially some of the items on display; lovely needlecase, opium scales with a phial of Kendal Black (bought from the pharmacy). It certainly isn't somewhere where you could feel the creative inspiration but orginally it would have had an uninterrupted view of the lake.
As you can see from the photos we have finally had some lovely sun to enjoy walking in. Spring is definitely in the air. On my walks I listen to audio books and I've finished 2 this year already. The Paris Wife, which was about Ernest Hemminway's first wife. Quite good, but I found the reader's accent a little annoying and also the characters were very egocentric and unsympathetic (6 out of 10)! More interesting was the Red House by Mark Haddon. This is quite a small story being about a week's holiday, but Mark Haddon (The Curious Incident of the dog in the night) is brilliant at conveying the strange worlds which go on in our minds and the very varied ways we have of perceiving things - his writing gives me food for thought! (7 out of 10).
I've been knitting quite a bit ... and this looks like I'm knitting very long scarves for little animals ...
... but no, this isn't me knitting for the dogs. You have to knit 3 of the pieces and then plait them together to make a collar. This was quite fiddly getting it the right length but I have sort of managed it and here is the finished jumper.
This is quite a plain, straightforward pattern, but as mentioned before I haven't been able to capture how lovely the wool is, so I've pinched a photo from the internet to give a better idea.
The pattern is Forge by Rowan and I do quite like it. I love the long sleeves, and its a lovely soft, non-itchy jumper to wear. It knitted up very loose for me (must be my tension) and this is the small size.
Still working on my epic cross-stitch so an update soon and I hope to be having a go at making some clothes. So many projects and so little time. Back to work now but at least it is still light when I come home! Hope you have lots of sun to enjoy this week. Many thanks for any comments which are truly lovely to receive.

Finally I can upload photos after 5 weeks so I should be back to my normal weekly blogging, but this is a 2 and a bit weeks covered in one - so excuse the length.
What a lovely time I've had. Dan has been here a lot (including the whole of last week) and it was all the more enjoyable for being a surprise. So we've had a cosy, chatty time watching films, walking the dogs and just being ... what could be better.
We went to an antique fair which we enjoyed. It's funny how your own ideas change. Two years ago I downsized and got rid of loads of stuff, at the time I wanted plain and easy to clean and ended up with a fairly beige, contemporary, plain look. Recently I've redeveloped an interest in older things. I've recently bought an art deco sideboard (here it is in the shop), which is side-by-side with modern pieces. I don't really care if it goes I like it and this has left me looking for some appropriate period bits to display on it.
I've been on ebay (again!) and bought another tablecloth. I certainly don't need it but look at how lovely it is for £4 and one day I think I will have some inspiration to make something new with some old embroidery.
I got some lovely deco plates for £2 each (can't wait to have some yummy cake on them). And back to the Fair I bought a beaded purse for no other reason than it's so beautifully made
and a little silver thimble (Charles Horner 1910 if that means anything to you). A definite magpie with no real plan, I'm afraid.
On the crafty side I have been mostly cross-stitching, but it's a present so I can't show you until the its finished. It seems to have taken ages and much longer than the stitching guide. I've been doing a little knitting and the jumper is almost finished. I love the wool but just can't get a good photo ... this is the best I can manage.
We avoided the snow for ages and then last weekend it stuck with a vengance - some enjoyable snow times. The dogs love it and you are never too old to build a snowman! It went as quickly as it came!
I had a lovely night at Queen Elizabeth School Kirby Lonsdale watching their production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This was one of my favourite musicals and I still remember every line! We were watching our very, very close friend Michael who has lived next door to us since he was 2 1/2. Now 17 he has turned out to be very talented - its so lovely to see young people giving their all in a production .... very moving. Couldn't get any photos of this production but here's a reminder of the orginial film ..... I thought Ted Neely (Jesus) was absolutely lovely when I was 18!
I've mentioned before that our cat Meg seems to thing she is a dog, but now she seems to be turning human! She prefers her water straight from the tap .....
... she's also found a new way of sitting ....
... and it seems to be catching ...
Last weekend I met up with Jilly who won my giveaway! Not only was it amazing that she lives around 20 miles away but we then found we actually worked for the same small department at Lancaster University around 30 years ago! Difficult to believe what a small world it is and we had a lovely time looking at the quilting exhibition at Fairfield Mill. Jilly also does a lot of different crafts like me (and likes cake!) so I'm looking forward to us meeting again .. the internet is wonderful for making new friends. Jilly also brought me a gift, a lovely lavender heart ... so I felt like I had won a give away as well.
So that was the last couple of weeks. Next weekend I should have a couple of finished things to show. I've been practicing with close up shots with my macro lens so I'll end with a rose!

dandan's blog: the yakuza
not an obligation; a burden...
harry kilmer (robert mitchum) returns to japan, where he lived for many years after the war, when the daughter of friend is kidnapped. staying with a friend who never left japan, wheat (herb edelmen), kilmer visits eiko (keiko kishi); an old flame, whose refusal to marry he has never gotten over, and asks her to put him in touch with her brother, tono (ken tanaka). tono is an ex-yakuza who, despite his strained relationship with harry, agrees to help. and so, harry, wheat and tono set out to find the kidnapped girl, as their past and present unwinds in front of them...
apparently paul schrader and his brother spent plenty of time in japan and watched a good selection of yakuza eiga (cinema), which inspired them to write the script. sydney pollack takes the directorial reigns and creates a film that works well as a yakuza film, a thriller and a look at the, what was then, a look at a culture that was very foreign to the west.
watching it, as someone who is more familiar with japanese yakuza cinema, the film is still very enjoyable and is much better than i expected it to be. mitchum is pretty great, as is ken tanaka; and the lack of exoticism or, at least, the playing up of it, adds to the strength. what you get is a decent thriller, with a strong yakuza flavour.
the dvd is £2.99 from hmv.com
So, dan - where's all the words?
the words shall return, but for now, i'm just cataloguing, so i don't forget what i've watched...

Ambrosia and Nectar: Vegan Cupcakes Might, Actually, Take Over My World
Vegan Cupcakes Might, Actually, Take Over My World
I was introduced to a lovely little book a couple of years back, filled with glorious frilly wishes and dreams made into cupcake form. Piled high with iced mounds of perfection, every one of the cupcakes in this book - literally every single one - made me urgently want to bring the book closer and lick the page. As well as being marvels to look at, these cupcakes were vegan. Dairy free, egg free, yet fluffy and creamy looking. Filled cupcakes, looking like your perfect Dunkin Donuts naughty little treat, had their mousse filling made mousse-y by tofu. Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World promised to be either a revelation or an absolute blasphemy.
It took me a year and a half to get the book (I'm either a rash or a long-delayed decision maker), and everything in there was still a temptation. The first recipe to attempt was dictated as much by what was on hand in the house as by what most tempted me. I also thought that chocolate cupcakes might hide more sins than vanilla ones - if these vegan versions didn't turn out to be so stunning, I thought the chocolate flavor would at least give them a fighting chance of being eaten.
Mint chocolate cupcakes, then. A chocolate cake base, a mint frosting, some chocolate ganache on top and an extra extra chocolate candy stuck on top if you were so inclined. The cake recipe was a surprise. No eggs or butter, clearly, but only a bit of oil to represent the fat spectrum. A cup of soy milk and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar were mixed together and allowed to curdle a bit before throwing in your more traditional ingredients. And that was mostly it, both for controversy and head-scratching replacement ingredients. I was very skeptical as to what kind of cake these would make, and I presumed something dense and dry would be pulled out of the oven.
The cakes these made, though, were wonderful. Top them with whatever you like or just eat them on their own (I did both after whipping up another batch a couple of days after polishing off the first dozen), they are incredibly moist, fluffy, proper-cupcake cupcakes and stayed fresh for several days in their air-tight container. Almost the best part of making them, for me, was being able to have lade-fulls of uncooked batter without the worry of raw eggs spoiling my fun. It felt naughty and indulgent and it was a very good thing. There will be more (many, many more) cupcakes from this book in my future, and with options like Mucho Margarita, Tiramisu, and Apple Cider cupcakes to chose from, it will be a great deal of fun weaving my way through the recipes.
Chocolate Mint Cupcakes, from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero.
Makes about 1 dozen cupcake (extra-large cupcakes come in at about 6, average-small sized cupcakes will number about 15)
Basic Chocolate Cupcake recipe:
1/3 c canola / vegetable oil
1/2 tsp almond or more vanilla extract
3 C confectioner's sugar (sifted if needed)
1/4 C plus 1 Tbs soy cream or soy milk
3 Tbs soy cream or soy milk
1/3 C semi-sweet chocolate (chips or a bar)
Preheat the oven to 350 F / 170 C
Whisk together the soy milk and the cider vinegar in a large bowl, then set aside for them to react and curdle for a few minutes.
Meanwhile sift together the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt)
Stir in the sugar, oil, and vanilla (and almond) extracts to the milk mixture.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two batches, mixing well each time so most of the lumps (or, ideally, all the lumps) are gone.
Pour the mixture into lined muffin tins and cook for 18-20 minutes.
Eat any remaining batter and be a very happy cook.
When cooked, remove the muffins from the tin and set on a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before putting any icing on it.
For the icing and ganache:
Cream the icing for a few seconds until it's softened (the authors recommend doing this with a fork since it gives better results).
Add 1 C of the sugar and a small splash (about 1 Tbs) of the cream/milk to the shortening, and mix well.
Alternate adding sugar and cream/milk to the mixture, mixing well after each addition. Keep this up until all the ingredients are mixed and the icing is creamy.
Add the mint and vanilla extracts as well as the food coloring, and mix well.
Pour the icing into a piping bag and select a star tip (like a num 21).
Meanwhile, make the ganache: heat the soy cream/milk in a small saucepan over a medium heat until it's just about to simmer. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, stirring until the chocolate is entirely melted and things are mixed well.
Make sure the cupcakes are cooled completely before piping. When ready, pipe the icing in a spiral from outside in, not going all the way to the edges so that a bit of cupcake is visible around the edges.
Keep letting the ganache cool (about 10 minutes - you don't want it to melt the icing), stirring it every couple of minutes to keep it smooth.
When cool, use a spoon to dollop a bit of ganache into the middle of the icing. It shouldn't entirely cover the icing, but drip down a bit on the sides.
if desired, decorate with a small candy in the middle, such as an M&M, smartie, extra decorative rose of mint icing, spearmint gumdrop, etc.
Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let the ganache set.

Wow, they look very cool. I like your thinking on the chocolate versions hiding any potential mistakes too, a wise choice!
These look fantastic. I think I would have been sceptical to begin with but Im glad they turned out brilliantly. Great for kids birthdays!
Oh my goodness...you just gave me an idea for My Dear Little Cardamummy's current dietary restrictions...

Just an FYI... The Margarita Cupcakes are so limey and so wonderful! They were magnificent! :)
Hi Sweetie -- me again.
I've just nominated you for a blogging award on Cardamom Addict here.

I'm interested in vegan baking, too.
These look amazing! I love choco-mint.
Wow, they look sensational! I can't to see what else you make from the book.
The phrase "vegan cupcakes" never realyl inspires confidence, but these could flatten all preconceptions. Choc mint was a great choice too :)
That is a great book! Your cupcakes look perfect :).

i loved your blog and the posts..nice chocolate mint cupcakes.

In light of the July 7th attacks, various riots, cartoon death rallies [etc...], the government has decided to introduce citizenship classes (amongst other new gimmicks) to help the youth of this country understand core British values and lead them away from extremism :
This BBC article contains views from varied politicians, education and public figures. One persons view caught my eye though. That person would be Harris Bokhari, of the Muslim Association of Britain :
"This is just another one of those knee-jerk reactions where we're not actually looking at the core problem. What was the reason why these people actually committed these disgusting acts?
"Unfortunately it was our foreign policy, it was the issue of the illegal war, the illegal occupation of Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the continuing abuses of the Palestinian people, the illegal occupation of Palestine by the Israeli state.
"So I think until the government actually addresses these issues unfortunately we'll keep on having these problems in the UK particularly."
So let's clear that up. We all know (as the MCB and MAB repeatedly told us) that the July 7th attacks had nothing to do with Islam. Yet he seems to know in detail all the reasons [excuses] a Muslim terrorist would use to justify an attack again non-Muslims in the UK. Of course, he isn't justifying the attacks. No, that would be too obvious. He's just pointing out that he holds the same ideology as a suicide terrorist, much like the ones that blew themselves up on July 7th, and if we don't listen to what he says, then what??? Can we expect more suicide terror attacks?
It's people and groups like the MAB that are the real problem here. They mix up right and wrong, and they make it publicly acceptable to not only sympathise with terrorists, but to hold exactly the same beliefs as them.
Permanent Link posted by J @ 1:53 pm
Rod, in the Cold War we had a concept called "fellow-travelers." These traitor-"citizens" from the MAB and MCB are god examples of that concept.

It is impossible to assimilate Muslims into any form of civilised society. Islam has bloody borders. Wherever there are Muslims there will be trouble. We do not even begin to share the same moral standards.
For example, one major difference, perhaps THE most important difference - between the ethical standards of Muslims and those of the rest of humanity, is that Muslim ethics are dictated solely by Mohammed in the form of his instructions in the koran, and also by the example of his actions.

Eat. Sleep. Stamp.: Gina K.
I bought this stamp set about 2 weeks ago and used it to do the technique that Gina did on her blog. I had never tried the crayon resist technique. I used the bashful blue and brilliant blue combo. The flower was stamped on whisper white using black staze-on. I then used a white crayon and colored in some/most of the petals. I then took a sponge and covered the entire piece of paper with the bashful blue and then used the brilliant blue to accent it. I then took a paper towel and rubbed over where I had the crayon and the ink came off.

Each Other – a tale for Christmas | CATS 3000
Each Other – a tale for Christmas
December 4, 2012 by Paul Levy
Our house is Victorian – over a hundred and thirty years old. It’s hard to heat, and we are spending most of these winter days in the living room with a single convector heater. Our television set is located on a fixed stand in front of the bricked up old fire-place. Often I wonder what this house would be like if we could afford to knock through and restore the original fire-place.
The chimney was taken away for reasons unknown long before we moved in. Times are harder than ever with both of us out of work and this Christmas coming in three nights feels as if it will be bare and empty of the things we used to afford and love. But Jenna, bless her, says we’ll have each other, and she is right.
It’s eleven o’clock and we are watching a thriller on the television. That’s when the house rumbles, just for a single second. The thirty-two inch set lists forward and I reach out to grab it, as it crashes onto the wooden floor and I hear the screen glass smash. Jenna screams and our eldest daughter, Maeve, starts to cry.
As I get up to examine the irreparable damage, I notice a small hole has appear in the covered up grate of the fire-place.
There’s no rational reason for what we do next. Jenna gets an old fire poker that we found when we moved in and forces it through the hole, wiggling it about and the hole gets bigger. There is a second rumble as the whole covered front of the grate crumbles. Dust and soot fly everywhere covering our TV dinners.
I see it first. A box. A wooden box. I pull it out with much difficulty as it is so very heavy. A stiff, dead rook lies next to it, Maeve screams.
It takes nearly an hour to prize open the rusted box.
And there they are. Spilling over the edges of this who knows how old, walnut chest.
Coins. Silver, gold and bronze. A tiara and a necklace – pearls and diamonds by the look of them.
I look at Jenna. Maeve looks at me. Jenna looks at us both.

In October 1852, four French nuns arrived in Penang after having travelled overland from their native country in caravans. Reverend Mother Mathilde Raclot, leader of this group, was to become a key personality in the early history of the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus on Victoria Street.[1]

Usually I do some kind of bird-character-fan-art for the Friday posts, but…Today I’m driving from Savannah to Raleigh, andIt’s short-notice to the point I’d feel bad asking Meg to fill in for me again (like she did here, here, and here… all fantastic!)So! Today’s post is a flashback to my photo shoot with a chicken.When I finished THUNDERCLUCK: CHICKEN OF THOR, I wanted my filmmaker photo to have a chicken in it. Some family friends had this bird, and we did a great shoot together!Fun Fact #1: Looking at the files’ time-stamps, the shoot was 12/9/14, two years ago today! (Cue Adele’s “When We Were Young.”)Fun Fact #2: My fly was down the entire shoot. The pictures have been cropped.Next week should be a return to fan-art, so be sure to check back… on the next FEATHERED FRIDAY! thundercluck-blog FollowUnfollowthundercluckchickenofthorfeathered fridayphoto shootmodel lifei'm not an ambi-turner93 notesLoading...Show more notesReblog Awesome rifle!➡ @defensemk - @VG6Precision GAMMA muzzle brake on the business end of this all @AERO_Precision AR Pistol with a @Lantac_USA / @CMCTriggers Curved Trigger and @RainierArms ambi safety. -Photo by @AR15NEWS tacticalsquad FollowUnfollowGunGunpornGunblrtacticalfirearmspewpew2A2ndamendmentgunsdailymolonlabegunfanaticprogunneversettleeverydaycarry48 notesLoading...Show more notesReblog lungs-paper-frail FollowUnfollowyannis philippakisfoalsthere are other photos and a review up on amby but it's not very good imothey describe foals as 'pleasing' and then blab forever about how cte is saving rocknroll 🙄144 notesLoading...Show more notesReblog amagicbear FollowUnfollowfrancefranche-comtéagfaagfa ambi siletteagfa photoargentic photography24x3613535mm135 film135filmargenticargentic photophotographers on tumblrphotographerartartists on tumblrArtist?cowcampaignanimalbrownmilkwhitegrassgreen grasscolorjesuschrist95 notesLoading...Show more notesReblog © Tumblr, Inc.HelpAboutAppsDevelopersThemesJobsLegalTermsCopyrightPrivacyEnglishDeutschFrançaisItaliano日本語TürkçeEspañolPусскийPolskiPortuguês (PT)Português (BR)Nederlands한국어简体中文繁體中文 (台灣)繁體中文 (香港)Bahasa Indonesiaहिंदी reblogs stuff from:

Skull Honey: Even More Podcasts
Fantasy Magazine, like it's sci-fi sibling Lightspeed has a podcast. They have a tendency toward accents and over-enunciation but the stories are really fabulous. Dark Fiction Magazine is aggressively british, but that's fun. I wouldn't call most of these horror, though there are some straight up horror stories. Mostly they're just dark. My favorite ones so far have been their cyberpunk-ish offerings. They've even got a Christmas dark fiction special. Go and enjoy!Cast of Wonders is a Young Adult genre podcast from the same fellas who brought you Cast Macabre, so you know it's groovy. It's generally pretty light fare, but that's not necessarily a problem. I've also been looking into Clone Pod which is Young Adult genre as well, though I've only listened to a few of those and don't have a lot to make a report on yet. Hooting Yard on the Air! Jimminy Christmas, there's nothing I can type here that will encompass what Hooting Yard on the Air is. I love this podcast to death. It's not what you would call polished in the way, for example, drabblecast is. It's recordings of a live radio show that includes speculation that Julian Assange is some chromatic version of goblin, some of the most joyfully, whimsically evil prose in the world, and of course, the entire history of jiggery-pokery from ancient times until yesterday morning. It's very surreal. I love it. Posted by
Leslianne WilderJanuary 11, 2012 at 1:07 PMHaving listened to a bit more of Clone Pod, I'm convinced it's not so much Young Adult genre as simply hosted by young people.ReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...

Catching the Vision at the Eye Doctor's Office | STEPPER was here
Catching the Vision at the Eye Doctor's Office
I sat down at the receiving desk at the optometrist to fill out my paperwork. The receptionist asked me questions as she plunked away at her keyboard, "current address, phone number" etc.
Then she asked, "so when are you due?"
I resisted the urge to hide my postpartum form behind my cute orange bag, and blinked. Was she referring to something else? The query did seem to come from nowhere - 'who's your emergency contact' to 'when are you due'? - perhaps I misunderstood the question.
She looked up from her monitor and beamed at me. "When are you due?"
I grinned back - no need to make this awkward. "Oh, I already had him. He's a month old." I wondered if they somehow knew I had been expecting - some note on their computer or something, even though I had never been to this doctor, before.
"Oh! How adorable! You know, losing the baby weight was the hardest thing for me, too."
Well - there goes the 'note in my file' theory. I leaned my arm on her desk in a sign of common friendship, and began to dish with her about pregnancy weight gain and stubborn postpartum pounds.
Of course, she was a string bean.
I made a mental note that this would be a good story to share with Bill when I got home. Then I began my all-too-frequent mental war with myself; convincing myself that I wasn't a disgusting frump - that my body had been altered by an amazing event and an amazing little man that I would be snuggling promptly upon my return home.
There was no hiding my, erm, abundant figure. Not this time. The slip of a girl sitting across from me was proof of this. This body - as it is - is mine to inhabit until I change it. This last pregnancy was a bully, constantly beating me up. My physical body bears the scars of the journey I just completed. There is a beauty in that. And there is an even grander beauty in the truth that I am not trapped here in this beaten form. I can change it. And change it I shall!
I've already begun. I can run up the stairs again. I have been known to tackle and tickle a kid or two. I am getting my strength back - and have even lost four pounds after the more significant initial postpartum weight loss.
But even though I will be tracking the pounds as a measure of progress, this time I don't want it to be about the weight. It's just a number on some machine, anyway. It has nothing to do with who I am or what I'm about.
But I do plan on being able to keep up with my kids. To run outside in a game of tag or backyard baseball. To bike to the park. To run and not be weary! To walk and not faint!
Health, people!
I want it. I want it back. And I shall have it, you mark me.
In the meantime, I won't be angry when you ask "when are you due?" Because right now, I do bear the scars. And right now, I'm a physical manifestation of what it means to have the God given gift of the ability to change. To change anything and everything about ourselves to become better, stronger, more complete.
This is one of my very favorite parts about being human.

'Rogue One' Writers Subtly Protest Trump With Rebellion Safety Pin Logo
Felicity Jones in ‘Rogue One’ (Photo: Disney/Lucasfilm)
Chris Weitz tweeted the following Friday morning —
Opposed by a multi-cultural group led by brave women. https://t.co/UUcjwflMWG
— Gary Whitta (@garywhitta) November 11, 2016
And Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, retweeted the “Star Wars against hate” tweet.
Weitz’s tweet followed his praise for this op-ed piece from CBR.com, which explicitly connects Rogue One to this week’s U.S. elections, with writer Brett White calling the movie “the most relevant movie of 2016,” explaining, “When I look at the Rogue One trailers, I see what I want from America. I see a multicultural group standing strong together led by a rebellious and courageous woman. That’s what we are working towards, and what we will continue to work towards no matter what. That’s what America — a land created as a haven for the persecuted, to be able to realize their limitless dreams — was created to be.”
As if to cement the connection, both Weitz and Whitta have changed their Twitter avatars to an image of the Rebel insignia with a safety pin through it, a reference to the symbol of solidarity with persecuted minorities that has gained currency in the U.S. following the election. (It came from the U.K., post-Brexit vote, where minorities faced similar prejudice and attacks.)
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story opens in the U.S. Dec. 16.

Tracy and I have separated… | Jack and Cate hit the road
Tracy and I have separated…
Posted on November 27, 2008 by jstbcz
We suppose that if you spent the last couple of years with each other renovating day in and day out. Then the past months travelling in a vehicle less than 400 sq ft at its largest point that it would be inevitable.
Yesterday, just before the American Thanksgiving it happened. We went our separate ways. I left for a medical walk-in clinic and she enjoyed the day with the sunshine and pups.
Bet you were thinking other wise right! It’s an old joke, you know my wife and I separated, she’s at home I’m here….. Just wanted to see if you are paying attention and guess you were.
To top it off, we were lucky today. We entered their lottery at the campsite for the 3 empty sites that weren’t claimed overnight and won a chance to stay if we like. We have chosen to stay but have to move spots. Although it has been very cool at night, low 30’s and daily highs of 55 F (1 to 12 C) there is still a lot to do and see. The Festival of Lights has the whole of James Island County Park lit up with award winning lights for the Christmas season. We have taken a ride around the park on their Santa train….. sometimes we forget how much fun it is to be that small and lighthearted.
Jack says, I miss the beaches and being able to walk across the road into other peoples rigs. Not that I did that the other day or nothin’ , they shouldn’t leave their door open if they didn’t want the company. But seriously, this being on a short leash isn’t that great and Cate just can’t keep her beak shut…
You short snouted little mutt, what makes you so special. If I recall you had some “rage” issues…. it took you years to get over yourself and mellow out. I just don’t know why I bark and bark and bark, you know, go Aussie. People move too fast and bikes and scooters and cars all need to be herded in the right direction….. I’m working on it, give me a break. Even the Dog Whisperer isn’t perfect, I am trying to get into the season…
Whatever Cate….I’m suppose to tell you again Gas is $1.69 US gal ( .44 cents/litre) and diesel is now $2.72 US gal ( .71 cents/litre)

Shannon Lee Designs: January 2009
The babies were 2 months on Sunday! I can't believe how the time has gone by so quickly. It makes me sad. I didn't realize I would have such a hard time with the twins growing up! I think because I know these are my last babies, I am having a harder time this time. I want them to stay babies longer!
We had a Dr. appt. on Monday, and the babies had to get their shots. :( They were little troopers though. Finley had such a sad cry as his cries usually are, and we expected Scout to have her pissed off loud as hell scream, but much to our surprise, it wasn't so bad!
Everything is looking good for both babies. Finley is now weighing 8 lbs. 12 oz. and Scout is an even 10 lbs. They seem like they are getting so big, even though I know some babies are BORN at these weights, and my babies are 2 months old.
Nights are still rough a lot of the time. I am so exhausted. They are up about every 2 hours to eat, sometimes 3. So by the time I feed, change, and get one back to sleep, then feed, change and get the other back to sleep, and then fall asleep myself, it is almost time to get up and do it again!!! I could feed them at the same time, but I don't know how well that would go with me half asleep to begin with! Last night they did AMAZINLY well though actually! They slept from 11:30 pm until 4:30 am. Then they were up at 7:30 am again to eat. Please, please babies, continue to do THAT! :)
Both babies have started to smile..FINALLY!!! We were a little worried actually. Our other 2 were smiling a lot at this age, but these two, not so much. Did we not have happy babies? :( But seriously, Monday night, (after the doctor appt. were we talked about our concern of them not smiling) they both started doing it! The big gummy grin when we'd talk to them. I love it! The other night Grammy and I were talking to Fin and he just started smiling and making all these cute faces, so we started laughing, and then his face just lit up and he smiled even bigger. Every time we lauged he would grin ear to ear! So cute! I got a little giggle out of him the other day too!
The babies are sleeping in their crib together now, and have been for about a week. No more carseat sleeping! Yay! Sometimes I can even put them in there crib not quite asleep yet, and they will fall asleep on their own, but much of the time we still have to rock them to sleep, especially Scout!
They love their swings. Any time I need to get something done, that's where they hang out. They are just now starting to like their tummy time. Usually when we put them on their tummy they just like to lay their head down and go to sleep! But now they will look around a lot more. They don't really like their butterfly mat on the floor yet. I don't think they like being flat on their backs. Even at night we have to put them in the little sleep positioners to go to sleep.
Their cries are much easier to tell apart now too. Up until they were about a month, we'd hear one of them cry from the bassinet and we'd guess which it was because the cries sounded very similar. Alot of the time we'd guess wrong. But now, we can definitly tell them apart. Finley still has a newborn sounding cry, and he puts his little pout out and sounds so sad, But Scout has more of a mad, I'm pissed cry, as I've mentioned before!
I've got some new photos to share!
And of course I can't forget my favorite little 4 year old! Miss Kinzie has now decided she DOES like the camera! For so long she would NOT let me take a picture of her. But now that I am taking pictures of the babies, she will let me again! Yay!
Kinzie has been doing much better the past couple of weeks. We've gone out for mommy and Kinzie time a few times, and I've been able to spend more time playing with her, now that the babies are a little older. She just started Dance and Gymnastics, so that is good for her. She loves going to them! Tonight she is going to an ECFE event, Daddy and Me bowling. They get to go bowling and eat pizza, just the 2 of them. She is so excited.
We are trying to find something fun for Me and Malichi to do together, and Aaron and Malichi to do together too so he isn't feeling left out! He does pretty well though, being that he is in school all day. He comes home and has missed the babies, and wants to hold them. Well, either that or he wants to play lego star wars!!!!!
Well, I'm off to feed, and change some babies now!

The twins are 8 weeks today. Scout is weighing in at 9 lb. 8 oz. and Fin is 8 lb. 10 oz.

I am finding it hard to balance my life right now. There isn't enough time in the day. I have so many things I want to do, and there are so many things I've let go of because I just can't do it all. There's bills to be paid, tons of paperwork to to through, the house needs a good cleaning, thank yous to be sent and phone calls to be made. I want to keep up on the baby books, the first year calendar, taking lots of photos, and keeping up on organizing them, scrapping photos of my babies and kiddos, and journaling and blogging. And even more importantly spending precious time with Kinzie and Malichi and really focusing on them whenever the twins are napping. And I also need a little time for me, which is mostly used for sleeping.
And on such little sleep, it's even harder. Last night I was only able to sleep from 2 am until 5 am. Not enough sleep to function on when it's night after night like that! They did sleep a 5 hour stretch at the same time a few nights ago, and that was wonderful.
Most of my time is spent nursing. I finish feeding S & F, and go start to do one of the many things on my to do list, and before I know it one of the babies is ready to eat again(usually Scout...she is the bottomless pit...a little milk hog she is).
I am trying to focus on the stuff that is really important right now...spending time with the older kids, and spending time with each baby when the other is napping, or playing with them together when they are both awake and NOT eating. And in any time I might have left...scrapbooking, photographing and documenting our lives right now.
The cleaning can wait, the organizing can wait, the paperwork can wait, the phone calls can wait...people understand. The bills can't though....so I better not put those off! If you know me at all, you know that's totally not me. I like to be organized and on top of things and have a clean house.
If it was humanly possible to get all of the things done I want to, I would. But it's not. So I need to let go a little.
Thank goodness Grammy will be back again tomorrow to help for the week. She's a lifesaver!
Both babies are now napping so I am going to try to catch a little nap as well!

Our little rockstars....

I wrote the following blog post last week, but never got around to publishing it....
Kinzie broke my heart tonight.
She has been acting out a lot lately, and we know it is because she is trying to get attention from me and Aaron and she is feeling left out. So I’ve been asking her often how she is feeling, and she gets choked up, and tries not to cry, as she tells us nothing is wrong. For some reason she doesn’t want to tell us she feels sad, or upset. I’ve really been trying to talk to her telling her that when I am sad I talk to someone and that is what helps me feel better.
Tonight she was acting out a lot and talking back, so Aaron I and were in her room with her talking about it, and Aaron asked her “Are you feeling left out”. And she replied “Yes. Because you never play with me anymore, mommy”, as she looked at me trying so hard to hold back her tears. I just started bawling. And as soon as I did, she started crying too and she clung to me, giving me a big hug. I know that she has been feeling left out. She is used to having me all to herself all day long. I try to spend as much time with her as I can, but it is hard when the twins are nursing every 1 to 2 hours most of the time, and I am lacking sleep so badly. She asked me “can Daddy take care of the babies, and you play with me”? Now that I am getting at least a little milk pumping I will be able to do that more with her, so Aaron can feed the babies.
She seems so fragile right now, so right now I am trying to give her as much positive attention as I can. Her and I are going to go out one night next week and getting our nails painted, and maybe we’ll go out for ice cream too! She is sooo excited about it. It will be good for her and I to have some “girl time”.
As I mentioned before the babies are nursing every 1 to 2 hours, especially at night. All I really do is nurse these days. They were acting like they weren’t satisfied after nursing a lot of the time, and then they’d be hungry again in an hour or sometimes less. It was really taking a toll on me at night. There have been nights that I am in tears trying to get them to nurse enough at each feeding to satisfy them, but I just don’t know if I am producing enough. I know they say your milk will keep up with what they need to eat, but maybe it makes a difference that I am nursing 2? So the last few night we supplemented them with formula so they would take a little more and sleep a little longer. I got 3 consecutive hours of sleep which was wonderful! The next day I called the lactation nurse and now I am renting a scale to see how much they are taking in each feeding. They were only taking an ounce to 2 ounces at each feeding, but a lot of times it was only 1 ounce. So I am supposed to pump after I feed them each time to stimulate more milk production. It seems to be helping. We have supplemented with formula a couple of times, which makes me a little sad because I wanted them to be only on breastmilk. But I also need to get some sleep! I almost cried the first time I had to give them formula!!! Do you think I might still be a little emotional since having the babies!? Now that I am producing a little more, and have some expressed milk as well, I should be able to go back to just breastmilk soon.
Backtracking a little….we had a wonderful Christmas. We didn’t want to travel with the babies this year so we asked everyone to celebrate with us at our home. It was so nice to stay home with the babies. Christmas Eve we stayed in and made a nice dinner, opened gifts and made cookies for Santa as we usually do. We had a relaxing, laid back day.
And out of all the presents we got….these are our favorites!
Then on Christmas day we got up and opened up Santa gifts. Malichi’s favorite gift was his Magic Show set and Kinzie got her washing machine that she wanted. Way back in October she saw it in a magazine and she said, “Mommy, I want that washing machine so I can do my own laundry and you don’t have to anymore!” Isn’t that sweet. It goes perfectly in her little “house” she has set up downstairs. She was so funny when she opened her presents, she would get all excited and say “it’s just what I always wanted!” And Malichi has been practicing his magic tricks and has done a few Magic Shows for us.
After we finished all of that we headed to Owatonna for Tiffany and Eric’s wedding. They were originally planning to get married in July, but Eric found out he will be deployed to Iraq the beginning of February, so they wanted to move it up. He was back in MN for a few days over Christmas, so the decided to do it then. They had only about a week to put the wedding together. It was small, but beautiful. I can’t believe my baby sister is a married woman now!
The day after Christmas we had all of my family over to celebrate Christmas. My mom went a little crazy with the gifts…she brought over 90 or something like that!
Everyone spent the night and we celebrated with my Aunts and Uncles and cousins on my mom’s side the next day.
New Years Eve and New Years Day we had Aaron’s family here to celebrate Christmas. We all got matching jammies. Cute aren’t we!?
Well Christmas came and went, and now it is already January. The babies are already 6weeks old, and they are growing and changing. Scout weight 8 lbs. 6 oz. and Finley weighs 7 lbs. 7 oz. I can’t believe how well they are gaining weight! They have grown out of their preemie diapers that were even a little big on them when we brought them home from the hospital. I will have to pack away all those tiny preemie clothes now that they have outgrown them as well. They are too big now to put them in the bassinet together, they each sleep in their own now, although we have been letting them sleep in their carseats sometimes because they sleep the best in there!
Finley is still our little sleeper. He is always napping. Scout is awake a lot more, and when she is awake, she always has this surprised look on her face, with her eyes open really really wide and she gets this little wrinkle between her eyes. Aaron does a pretty funny impression of it! Finley is always raising his eyebrows, making wrinkles in his forhead, and pursing his lips like he is going to give you a kiss. He loves to lift his head and look around. He has such a strong neck just like Malichi did at this age. Scout is pretty stingy with her smiles, but we get more out of her than we do Finley. She does like to copy us sticking our tongue out at her though which is pretty cute. Finley is so serious all the time. And when he cries, his little lip comes out and he has the cutest little pout. He mostly fusses, and doesn’t cry too hard, and his little cry is so cute. Scout, she doesn’t even fuss a little first when she’s upset, she just goes right to letting out this loud wail right away. Then she stops, waits a couple seconds and lets out another one. She definitely lets you know when she’s mad! She’s got a little temper on her!
Scout loves to eat. She eats just like Kinzie did as a baby! She’ll eat so fast she starts to choke! And when she is searching for me to eat she looks so cute, she opens her eyes soo wide, and opens her mouth wide, and she gets that little wrinkle in between her eyes. Poor little Finley always has to eat last because she is so demanding! Sometimes I feed them at the same time, but it is really hard to do that on my own. I feel like a cow being milked when them at the same time! Finley is still having a hard time latching on sometimes. A lot of times he eats for a little bit and then he pulls off and then gets frustrated and frantically looks for more. Nursing 2 babies is definitely a big commitment, but It is so worth it to me.
That’s all I’ve got for now! I am really going to try to blog more often, it’s my way of documenting our lives right now!
