Bart and Becca Blog: January 2014
This little lady is a SERIOUS reader. She has to read 20 minutes a day for school, but I'm pretty sure she'd read all day long if I let her (and if she has a book she likes, it's hard to convince her to stop for ANYHTING).
She's only in first grade and she's seriously just plowing though chapter books.
What is she currently reading you ask?
Yep, you saw that right. My first grader is currently reading the Hobbit! That book that I couldn't stand in 7th grade! (Don't worry, I since have repented and mended my ways, but I still can't believe she hast the patience to read it...let alone likes it). Albeit, she has told me she like to skip through it and read the parts she likes. Bart read it to her last year as a bedtime story, so she knows the story. But still. I'm impressed. I hope her love of reading lasts forever.
We did finally pull ahead in the end and left a few minutes early in an attempt to avoid traffic, but by then we were ahead by 20 points and thought it was a pretty safe bet that we would win. I'm not going to lie, it was a lot nicer sneaking out in front of those Loyola fans at that point than it would have been earlier in the game. :)
Over Christmas Break we took the girls to see Disney’s Frozen. From then on the talk was all about Olaf. Addison and her friends were quoting his song. Hannah was giggling about Olaf-related things they had done at preschool. And the twins were constantly making Olaf knock knock jokes that made no sense whatsoever.
So it didn’t surprise me that, when the kids woke up to a heavy snowfall yesterday morning, the first thing out of their mouths was, “We can build Olaf!” And as soon as Addison’s homework and piano were done they bundled up and braved the cold to make good on their plans. Although, when it came to the building part, Addison and Hannah did most of the work.
The twins more...just played in the snow.
If you have to bear through a bitterly cold winter, I suppose this is a good way to spend it.
And I must admit, the resemblance is uncanny.
My parents live right by Pasadena, so when we found out Bart didn't have to go back to school until January 6th this year, my mom made arrangements for us to take the two older girls to the Rose Parade. We took all the girls to see La Canada's float the day before the parade, right before the judging, so they were testing it out to make sure everything worked properly.
Each of the girls wanted pictures in front of the float. Hannah insisted I take a picture of her profile, and Addison wanted it to look like she was lifting the float...I'll have to work on that in the future. :) And this is how Hannah reacted when she realized she wasn't allowed to pick flowers off the float.
Police officers drive down the route to begin the parade. I still can't believe that everything is made of flowers...well, flowers, grasses, leaves, bark, etc. Pretty much any kind of plant life. But still, it's really incredible, and fun to try and guess what the unusual colors/textures on the floats are made out of.
I think the Trader Joe's Float was my favorite (other than La Canada's of course). It had a cheese man being orbited by an olive helicopter, and a pickle-mobile driving back and forth around it. Poor Cal Poly's Float broke down right in front of us. And while it was fascinating to watch the whole process of getting a float towed unfold right in front of us, after a while people got a little restless, and started wandering out onto the parade route to get a picture with the float. This little guy was one of the adventurers, but he had more than just pictures in mind. He put on a little show for us swerving around on his razor, dancing, and interacting with the costumed paraders. I'm pretty sure he was drunk, but he was entertaining! Although I don't think the crowd control officers agreed.
A Harlem Globe Trotter spun a basketball on the finger of this adorable little kid sitting in front of us. But I think of all the non-float entertainment, the guy below on the right was my favorite. After every group of horses went by, a few people in charge of collecting horse manure would follow. This guy got very into his job. It was AWESOME!
This month's blog circle was "Put yourself in the Picture." I took this before Christmas, but my brother got me an awesome remote timer for my camera, so in the future, I'm going to have to put that to some good use for things like this. Now go check out how Bianca put herself in the picture.

This book feels difficult for me to review. I actually loved the story. I thought the story line was great, and it was a lovely allegorical tale. However, I feel that I have to give it three stars because the section in the middle when the Dragon comes was just SO confusing. I understand that sometimes in a book things have to be explained later in the story, but these things weren't explained. They were just confusing and I think that was due to a lack of clarity in the writing. I also feel like some of the characters could have been better developed. They felt a bit one dimensional to me. I did enjoy the story though and it gave me some surprises along the way, which is always nice.Show Less

Wasn't sure if I was going to like this book or not because it isn't a genre I usually read but by the end I was a convert! The last few chapters are especially poignant and I love all the allegorical illustrations in bedded within. Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

旋律とカナリア (Senritsu to kanaria) – english translation / Halloween of the Dead →
Ghost in the Castle – english translation / Halloween of the Dead
The « hidden setting » that want to speak Yura turns about the strange circumstance of the death of the boy. According the comment of Yura, the girl is died in the same circmstance than the boy. It sounds like to twin souls.
A shadow is left in my breast,
By your sadness and watery eyes.
It’s alright, the end will never come
In red, litterally this stanza must be translated by « I’ll always be there… », but I have put the « for you », because I have the feeling that’s how must be understanded this stanza. The boy rests for the girl.
On the dark ceiling, because the rats are running everywhere,
Only a skeleton, dances in the sparkling dust…
The paragraph the most interesting of the song. I think this passage explain, that in reality the boy was torturing, when he was alive. « tenjou=ceiling »… Does it mean he was tied by a cord and finish suspended, to the ceiling? I let you imagine all the horrors that he suffer when the boy was alive.
Sadly, the comment of Yura rests ambiguous and the boy doesn’t want to explain precisely what happen to him, in order that the song rests mysterious. Even if I have the feeling he was torturing by his parents, for an unknow reason.
Title : Ghost in the Castle
In a very old castle, a very old armor…
You become blue transparent, and your smile appeared.
Today we’re going to play card game, tomorrow we’ll play chess,
Look, I’m still not satisfied.
Until the morning comes, let’s play!
Now, let’s dance, let’s hold our hands together!
The moon is illuminating your heart
And the transparent light liberates an empty glass…
‘There is no way, that I tell my story, in this place!’
Ah! I know everything, but once again,
I will pretend to know anything about this sad nightmare…
Now, let’s dance, let’s forget everything
The moon is illuminating my heart
And the transparent light liberates, during that time, my painful blood!
The pain is running in my breast,
Your death begins and continues…

Hotel is situated at good location directly at main square. Standard rooms with standard service is enough for 1 overnight stay. Unfortunately the noise isolation is bad and you know about "night live" in hotel. The breakfast was poor, but enough for quick morning energy....More

Tooth & Claw Store Showcase Tickets, Fri, 28 Apr 2017 at 14:00 | Eventbrite
Tooth & Claw Store Showcase
Since January, the Little Green Pig team have been working in a magical space hidden within City Academy Whitehawk: the Tooth & Claw Store, an emporium catering for mythical creatures.
Thanks to funding from the Goodall Foundation and help from Sherlock design team, we've transformed an empty classroom into a weird and wonderful creative space. Every child from Reception to Year 6 has had the chance to step through the door into a magical, immersive learning experience designed to inspire their writing.
We want to share the work the children have produced and the ideas and impact of the project. If you're a head teacher, teacher, artist, educator, designer, or work in the education / arts / youth or children's sector, we'd love you to let you in to the Tooth & Claw Store to find out more.
We'll hear about the project from the perspectives of the head teacher and staff at City Academy, the Goodall Foundation, from some of the children who took part, our design team Sherlock, and the team at Little Green Pig too.
Places are free, but limited to 30.

Life, In My Own Backyard: First GC LSD For Ramadan
GC is short for Gaited Community, a running group I somehow got sucked into by a friend a few years ago.
GC members' motto on the team's tee - we Run, Eat, Shop, Repeat. Hahaha
Plans were made to have a run in UM around the (in)famous Bukit Cinta route on Friday and the number of members & friends joining ballooned to around 35 pax on Friday night. Very happening run! One of the members even asked permission from the UM management for the get-together, just in case the uni's security gets worried about us all coming in a big group. ;-)
Some of those who joined, before the start of the run.
We gathered at 10.15pm (after terawih's prayer) and started our run at 10.30pm. Some arrived earlier and did a loop first, some arrived later, some left early, some left late... Some did 2 loops, some did 3 and more. But the main thing, we ran, met up and had plenty of fun!
The good thing about doing the loop, and did both clockwise and counter-clockwise loop was that we were bound to bump into other runners even if we were running alone.
I wanted to do a 55min easy run or something like that, but doing a run in Bukit Cinta can't be that easy! At least not for me! Hah Hah
Hard to control myself from hitting the tarmac hard during the downhill (the only section where I can run fast and I like doing it fast), very slow on the uphill (and even reduced to walking), chit-chatting and the in-between. So it became a mixture of easy, hill intervals and makan angin walk type of run. LOL
But it was sure nice to run with so many fellow runners outside a race, once in a while as I rarely do it.
GC members finishing their third loop (I think) in front of the DTC.
The two loops that I did. Blue line is my pace indicator. Green is cadence.
Post-run makan.
Generous people brought a whole lot of food to be enjoyed after the run. Got drinks, ice, kuih, brownies, pavlova and even...
Group photos after the run. This was taken after the makan session and birthday presents ceremony for May & June babies were done.
It was a nice run with friends and thank you everyone for a great night out and all the generous food!
It'd be nice to be able to hit Bukit Cinta once a week for my training but then, I had to take pity on Hubby and Son too. They waited patiently for me to finish my run last night. Love them both. *muaks*
Rose World 11 June, 2016 21:22
Sound like a great and balance motto!! A very wonderful group.

Roxy's Art Blog: September 2009
Key Fan Art
Just discovered a new webcomic called Key recently. Read all 150 some odd pages in a day and it's still going. It was fun :) and I like the characters too!
So I decided to do a fan art for it! I like all of the 4 main characters, but I think that Jerlorn and Ki are pretty cute, put them together and it's extra cute.
Ki likes warm clothes, and Jerlorn hates sweets. I imagine that they both just came in from the cold and Ki made them hot chocolate... not knowing that Jerlorn hates it. Haha... ah... he's too polite to say otherwise though...
Check out the Key site below!
In other news, this took way longer than I thought it would! I can't even remember the last time I put so much time into something that wasn't a comic page. I gotta do this more often!

Looking Glass Comic site!
ah, I bet you guys thought that I had forgotten about this place, huh? I've been working for the most part on Transpose Operator so I haven't been doing much with Meggido... also... in regards to that... I'm doing an anthology with a bunch of friends(contact us if you want in :D), I'm not using Meggido, but a short story that I came up with 2 years ago and had been meaning to do. It's gonna be 2 chapters long as well. Anyway, I'll talk more about that story at a later date, but why I'm mentioning it is because as soon as that story is done I will officially begin work on Meggido. It's been a long time since I came up with it, but now I have an inescapable deadline that I'm holding myself to. It will be wonderful to finally start on it, but it's a humongous story... so it's going to be a daunting task to undertake, I hope that you'll all follow along with me when I start it. There will be changes from things that I've talked about previously on this blog regarding the story and characters, but I'm sure no one remembers any of that stuff anyway, right?
So yeah, now back to the topic at hand(i.e. the title of this post...), I'm going to be posting Looking Glass on ComicFury, along with Transpose Operator. Updates will be Wednesday and Sunday. Once I get done with chapter 1, chapter 2 might take awhile to get started, for that I apologize in advance, but I guarantee it will be much better than chapter 1.
So without further ado, click the image below to check out Looking Glass at it's new ComicFury home.

Human mind is often adoptable with nature and Xing Tom was of no exception for the same. In side of the Hotel room where they stayed was having a pleasant climate. To enjoy the beauty of the morning fully, Xing Tom just came out of the room and headed straight to the lawn which was greener than ever before. Even at the beginning of the summer, the hotel authority is able to maintain it in a nice way, he thought.
A blue feathered tiny bird suddenly appeared and came closer to him and sat besides the nearest wall. To Xing Tom, the bird sounded friendly as such he went close to the bird. The sudden nearness of Xing Tom frightened the bird and it flew abruptly.
Xing Tom and Sara were at the breakfast table awaiting the delicious South Indian dish ‘Idly’ and ‘Vada’. In five minutes time it arrived and they both devoured it as if they have not eaten for days. While they were eating, their Mum and Dad also joined with them. The restaurant was in the third floor, where at the window side Xing Tom was able to see the road packed with Cars and Bikes making the traffic heavy and busy. The lined up vehicle over there sounded like a range of toys in a big show room.
Ten days have elapsed since they came from London on a personal trip to India. Mostly they spent time in Chennai and Southern parts of Tamilnadu, which was a pleasant experience for Xing Tom. Of course, few adventures took place yet the stay was memorable and interesting for Xing Tom.
They have to catch the mid night flight from British Airways and that made all of them busy and industrious. While others engaged themselves in packing and other activities, Xing Tom was seriously thinking by sitting alone, near the window side of the room. What type of adventure he has to face, until they leave the hotel and reach the Airport is the question posed on his mind. Though he was little upset about leaving India, he was also happy about meeting his friends back in London. Often life has unpredictable changes and we must always learn to adjust our self according to the need of the hour, he thought.
It was 8 pm. Xing Tom was readily waiting for the cab to come. His Dad and Mum who went for a local purchase just arrived with a big cloth bag. Where ever we go, we find something new to purchase, if not our journey never gets fulfilled, Xing Tom murmured on seeing them. Sara too was ready, but was little casual engaging herself by playing some video game with her mobile.
A white color Ford Endeavor reached the hotel at 8.30 after the Check out formality, they all got inside the vehicle and the driver keeping their luggage inside, he speed ed the vehicle through the heavy traffic main road leading the Airport. In next half an hour, the vehicle entered the Meenambakkam Airport, which was crowded with many vehicles. Lot of passengers carrying their luggage were moving around, as many flights were about to take off in a couple of hours. One tall passenger came near to Xing Tom and shook hand with him. He asked some questions in Hindi and Xing Tom was not able to answer him. With this reaction, the attempted person simply left the place in silence. Inside the airport, after collecting the boarding pass for all of them, they proceed inside and waited in a lounge. Xing Tom’s Mum purchased a Kashmir Shawl in the duty free shop over there.
Xing Tom occupied his favorite window seat in the flight and it took off in a few seconds. The runway was visible with more lights and slowly the objects over there started minimizing to smaller as the flight took off. To Xing Tom, the view was spectacular and he suddenly turned nostalgic. ‘So long Chennai, farewell to you’ he whispered in a coarse voice, which was audible only to him. When the flight touched the clouds, Xing Tom felt sleepy and in seconds he fell asleep.

RIP – CHRIS FEINSTEIN | uRdead2me
Posted by mm2 on 12/14/2009	EXPIRED: 12/14/09 – Chris Feinstein, 42, was bassist for Ryan Adams’ former backing band, The Cardinals until this past January.
He passed away at his Manhattan apartment, cause of death still unknown and the time of this posting.
“This is the saddest day of my life,” Cardinals drummer Brad Pemberton said in a statement posted on the Lost Highway Records website. “I lost my best friend today… things will never be quite the same.”
Feinstein joined The Cardinals in 2006 following the departure of original bassist Catherine Popper who had introduced Adams to her replacement.
Feinstein’s first disc with the band was 2007’s Easy Tiger, which was billed as an Adams solo disc but featured The Cardinals. He also played on 2007’s Follow The Lights EP and last year’s Cardinology. Adams left The Cardinals in January because he wanted to take a break from making music. He’d also been suffering from Meniere’s disease, an inner ear disorder that affects hearing and balance.
But Feinstein’s career still looked bright even without Adams. He’d been working with Moby, Fat Joe, Albert Hammond, Jr., Minnie Driver and had co-written and played guitar on 4 tracks on Santigold’s debut CD.
NYC’s indie music scene loses another and it really can’t afford to.
RIP Spacewolf!

Weigthloss Update... faithfulness | A Spoonful O Sugar
Weigthloss Update... faithfulness
Just wanted to take a moment of your time and give an update on my weight loss issues... I have come to realize that my plateau as it is called is not because of my body needing a break but because I had lost faithfulness towards my diet and was coasting. This resulted in my basically stabilizing at 38 lbs to go and then actually gaining weight. This was the status of my last post.
I am excited to say that I think I may have overcome this latest hurdle as in the last four weeks, I have lost a total of 8 lbs. This is the resulted in re-lossing the extra pounds that I had gained during my "struggles" and some additional pounds. The final result is that at my last weigh in... I was only 33 lbs away from my goal weight and I was back on track.
Since that weigh in... I have tried to remain faithful to both my diet and my water drinking. And have increased my exercise so that I am not only doing Zumba and gardening...but I have added the "Couch to 5 K" program. I am on week 2 and am enjoying it a lot. Not only is my clothing beginning to be looser again but I also feel more energized and dare I say it.... yes... I dare.... sexier in my own skin.
Do I still have extra lbs in areas that I don't like? yes. Do I still need to meet my goal? yes.... but I do believe I will make it. And then who knows what will happen next... toning? a 5K?
I don't know what is next on this journey but I praise God for taking me on it and for being control. And I thank you for coming along with me on it. I will be posting more details about my C2 5K experiences as it progresses. If you have done this program, please add your experiences in the comments.

Designing my life: 2009
This little dancing robot is as cute as cute can be. I had to post this video of it dancing to music. It was developed by scientist (Hideki Kozima and programmed by Marek Michalowski) as a learning aid for children. The design of Keepon is very simple, just two eyes and a button nose It will certainly be a big hit when it goes onto sale in 2010. For more info visit http://beatbots.net
I created a video group for Vimeo users called Mind Benders Mind Bender. Mind Benders is about creative videos that make you ask "how the hell did they do that?". This group is about the weird, experimental, amazing, extraordinary videos that may or may not have a point other than simply being beautiful in nature. In other words, videos that bend your mind!Please join this group if you like these videos. I will ad more wonderful videos that will give you a visual treat. You are more than welcome to add your own videos Mind Bender. Anything that is fantastic to watch, creative, ground-braking special affects, spot motion/time-lapse videos, experimental, conceptual, artistic videos, are all welcome to be added here.To visit and join in this video group goto vimeo.com/groups/mindbender
I opened up a new Blip.TV channel called freshalex.blip.tv. This channel will be dedicated to showing time-lapse recordings of my own work in graphic design, tutorials, speed paintings and the channel will progress to also featuring other artists, events and news too. It is very new at the moment. So this first video I uploaded will set the tone for most of the videos during the first few weeks since it is easier to get the content up and online for you. About this video: Vectorizing yourself into a cartoon can be done using Illustrator, but once you know the basics you can do it using any program that has a "pen tool".I put this video together to show you how I turned myself into a cartoon. I did this because I noticed that some services/websites out there, like Cartoonme.com offer to turn your pictures into a cartoon for a fee / price. So to show you just how easy (or difficult) it can be I recorded myself turning myself (and partner) into a cartoon. This process took around 15 minutes and shows my creative process from start to finish.Enjoy
Freshalex 80's style text wallpaper, originally uploaded by Freshalex online.I am a fan of all things retro. I especially like sci fi, space imagery. So an 80's style, retro space graphic is something I gravitate to. So I tried making my brand name "freshalex" in this style and this is what I came up with. I was just playing with the text to make it it look 80 style retro. I started to follow a tutorial from Abduzeedo and I ended up changing it a little. The tutorial from Abduzeedo shows how to create this text effect using a program called Pixelmator, but you can still follow it if you have photoshop or other software. Here is the original tutorial link for 80's Style Text Effect in PixelmatorEnjoy. You can download my wallpaper here in 1920 x 1080px.By the way, this typography style was inspired by this website empireisok.com, which I am sure was inspired by some one else and then someone else.
Design Core by Relando Ronato
Design Core, originally uploaded by relando ronato.I was on Flickr doing the usual rounds of looking through amazing graphic designers, accomplished photographers and talented Illustrators and I found Relando Ronato and his work. His work differed from the rest in my eyes because his whole body of work has black and white as the dominant colour theme. This first poster I saw was the "All good things" poster which caught my attention with those massive heavy type font and the strong contrast of black and white that seems to become worn out towards the bottom. It looks big, gritty, dirty and strong.Design Core seems to be his brand and judging by his Flickr photostream he has a small but strong portfolio. I hope to see more work coming from this design, and soon!

Have you ever used Photoshop to make yourself look like you are flying? These day you can easily manipulate photos to make yourself look like you are walking on water, or flying through the air. Li Wei, a Hubei born Chinese artist, does make these types of photo manipulations, the only difference is that Li does not use Photoshop as the primary editing tool. Instead Li poses the models in real life in mid air or on top water using wires and logistical aids. "Somebody should hand Li a copy of Photoshop to save time and extra effort put into making these seeming impossible photographs". Is that what you think? Well sure! Why don't we! What you are forgetting is that if Li used Photoshop instead to make these images, then Li would not gain the same respect as Li would now. It is because of this extra effort Li has made an impact as a photographer. Take a look at these photos and check out Li's website, I promise there are a lot more where these pics came from.
Simon Jones is a freelance Illustrator based in London. I came across his work on Epilogue website (fantasy and sci-fi art website), where I somehow landed on Simon's "The Video Word made Flesh" digital work. I was gob smacked to say the least. Did I hear you say dark and weird? I hope you meant that in the best possible way.Here is the interview with him I obtained after a few exchanges of emails.Tell us about how you became to be interested in digital media?I first became drawn to digital media probably in the early 90s, I wasn't really happy with the results I was getting from traditional media, I felt that my work was becoming limited by the techniques I was using and I wasn't feeling inspired at all. I then came across some of Dave McKean's cover's for the Sandman comics and as a direct result of these got myself a copy of Photoshop. From there on out, I was hooked. Digital media brought back the thrill of being surprised by my own work, something as simple as the overlaying of a texture in Photoshop opened up endless possibilities and got me excited about work again.What software do you use to make you images?I used to work predominantly in Photoshop, using a combination of my on personal photos, as well as stock images, to create my artwork, but I began to feel the process of taking(photographs), or scouring the internet, for the right photo was becoming a bit tedious. Also I began to feel a little insecure about my work by just relying on photos. I then began to using 3D elements and used Cinema 4D for a long while, before I came across Zbrush. Since then, I haven't looked back. So now it's a combination of Zbrush and Photoshop, although I do use Painter also now and again.How has the global economic crisis affected you and others around you?Well, there's certainly been less commissions than in previous years, also I feel clients are being a little bit safe in their briefs, no-one's looking to take any risks at the moment.Is H R Giger one of your influences? Your work does have characteristic similar to Giger's work. Who else is your influence?Giger was a huge influence on me growing up, I studied his work endlessly, at the time there was no-one else doing anything like he did, he is a true visionary. Other than that, I'm mostly influenced by films such as David Cronenberg's "Videodrome" and Shinya Tsukamoto's "Tetsuo" films. Anything to with the transformation of the human body, or the fusion of man and machine. I'm also a great admirer of Kent Williams.If macs were to cease to exist tomorrow, would you continue to work, or for that matter live?As much as I love my Mac and couldn't live with out it, I have considered going over to the dark side and getting a PC, just for 3D work, but so far I've resisted the temptation.What can we expect from the world of Simon Jones in the next year/month/week?At the moment I've just finished writing some comics for the Koniotou brothers, I'm sure some of your blog readers will be familiar with their work, they've done a lot for stuff for the Games Workshop etc. I'm also working on a series of pictures in the vein of what I did with "The New Flesh". So exciting times.Is there anything else you wanted to add?I'd just like to thank you for taking the time for this interview and showing an interest in my work, it means a lot.So there you have it folks. Who says dark and weird is a bad thing. Being bad is so good.

Unpublished Dispositionwalter Callihan; Goldie Callihan, Doing Business As Littlesandy Packing Company, Plaintiffs-appellants, v. Eastern Kentucky Production Credit Association, Defendant-appellee, 895 F.2d 1412 (6th Cir. 1990) :: Justia

Unpublished Dispositionwalter Callihan; Goldie Callihan, Doing Business As Littlesandy Packing Company, Plaintiffs-appellants, v. Eastern Kentucky Production Credit Association, Defendant-appellee, 895 F.2d 1412 (6th Cir. 1990)
This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination of the record and the briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed in this case. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).
Walter and Goldie Callihan are pro se debtors who appeal the district court's judgment that dismissed their bankruptcy appeal. The Callihans had originally appealed the following orders from the bankruptcy court to the district court: 1) an order, entered September 8, 1988, that lifted an automatic stay and allowed the appellee to enforce its mortgage against the Callihans' property; 2) a supplemental order, entered September 13, 1988, that listed additional findings of fact and directed the Callihans, inter alia, to freeze their remaining assets; 3) an order that denied the Callihans' motion to recuse the bankruptcy judge; 4) an order that converted the Callahans' bankruptcy from a Chapter 11 to a Chapter 7 proceeding; and 5) an order that listed factual findings in support of the Chapter 7 conversion. On April 7, 1989, the district court entered its judgment which affirmed all of the orders of the bankruptcy court.
The district court found that the Callihans had not filed a timely notice of appeal from the bankruptcy court's orders which were entered on September 8 and September 13, 1988. The record shows that their notice of appeal from these orders was originally filed on December 5, 1988 and later amended on December 21, 1988. Thus, the appeal from these orders was not filed within the ten day limit that is prescribed by Bankruptcy Rule 8002(a) (Supp.1989). Compliance with this rule is a jurisdictional prerequisite in the district court and in this court as well. In re Abdallah, 778 F.2d 75, 77 (1st Cir. 1985), cert. denied, 476 U.S. 1116 (1986). Therefore, the district court correctly dismissed the Callihans' untimely appeal from these orders. See id.; Greene v. United States (In re Souza), 795 F.2d 855, 857-58 (9th Cir. 1986).
The Callihans moved for recusal of the bankruptcy judge, alleging that he was biased because Walter Callihan had filed an ethics complaint against him. The bankruptcy judge summarily denied this motion, and his decision was summarily affirmed by the district court. However, summary treatment was appropriate in this case under either of the pertinent recusal statutes. See 28 U.S.C. § 144 (1968); 28 U.S.C. § 455 (Supp.1989).
The motion was properly denied under 28 U.S.C. § 144 because it did not meet any of the procedural requirements of that statute. It was not supported by an affidavit. Cf. Roberts v. Bailar, 625 F.2d 125, 128 (6th Cir. 1980). In addition, it was not filed within the time prescribed by the statute. Cf. Crowder v. Conlan, 740 F.2d 447, 453-54 (6th Cir. 1984). Moreover, it was not accompanied by a good faith certificate of counsel. Cf. id.; Martin-Trigona v. Lavien (In re Martin-Trigona), 573 F. Supp. 1237, 1244 (D. Conn. 1983), appeal dismissed, 770 F.2d 157 (2d Cir. 1985), cert. denied, 475 U.S. 1058 (1986).
Denial of the motion was also proper under 28 U.S.C. § 455, even though that statute does not contain specific procedural requirements. First, the Callihans' motion was not timely under either Sec. 144 or Sec. 455. See, e.g., In re City of Detroit, 828 F.2d 1160, 1167-68 (6th Cir. 1987) (per curiam). "Timeliness is a factor that obviously merits consideration by a court that is trying to determine whether a judge is truly biased or a litigant is merely trying to avoid an impending adverse decision." Id. The Callihans' motion was not timely because it was entered on the same day that their case was converted to a Chapter 7 proceeding and also because it was entered more than three months after their petition in this case, more than two years after they initiated other proceedings before the same judge, and more than five years after the alleged incident that they claim biased the judge against them. See id.; Martin-Trigona, 573 F. Supp. at 1245.
Denial was also appropriate under Sec. 455 because the motion was legally insufficient. Recusal is not required simply because one of the parties has initiated litigation against the presiding judge. United States v. Studley, 783 F.2d 934, 939-40 (9th Cir. 1986); Martin-Trigona, 573 F. Supp. at 1243. Moreover, Walter Callihan's allegations appear, on their face, to be either delusional or the product of extreme bad faith. Cf. 573 F. Supp. at 1243. Under these circumstances, it cannot be said that the bankruptcy court abused its discretion in denying the Callihans' motion to recuse. See Studley, 783 F.2d at 940; cf. Khan v. Yusufji (In re M. Ibrahim Khan, P.S.C.) 751 F.2d 162, 165 (6th Cir. 1984).
The district court adopted the factual findings of the bankruptcy judge in affirming his decision to convert the Callihans' bankruptcy to a Chapter 7 proceeding. Those findings establish sufficient cause for the conversion because they indicate that the Callihans' dilatory prosecution of the case had created an unreasonable delay that was prejudicial to their creditors. See 11 U.S.C. § 1112(b) (3) (1979 & Supp.1989). They also indicate that the Callihans were not farmers, so that there was no apparent exception that would limit the court's authority to order a conversion. See 11 U.S.C. § 1112(c). These factual findings were not clearly erroneous. Accordingly, it was not an abuse of discretion to order a Chapter 7 conversion in this case. Cf. Koerner v. Colonial Bank (In re Koerner), 800 F.2d 1358, 1367-68 (5th Cir. 1986).
The district court's judgment is hereby affirmed because two of the Callihans' appeals were not timely, because their motion to recuse was procedurally and substantively insufficient, and because the district court's factual findings support the conversion of their case to a Chapter 7 proceeding. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.

Guest Post: VENDETTA by Catherine Doyle
Buy Links: Amazon | B & N | Waterstones
When five brothers move into the abandoned mansion next door, Sophie Gracewell’s life changes forever. Irresistibly drawn to bad boy Nic Falcone, Sophie finds herself falling into an underworld governed by powerful families. When Sophie’s own family skeletons come to life, she must choose between two warring dynasties – the one she was born into, and the one she is falling in love with. When she does, blood will spill and hearts will break…
“Fan-freaking-tastic … I honestly can’t say enough good things about it! I would read anything Cat Doyle writes after flying through Vendetta!”
-VICTORIA SCOTT, author of FIRE & FLOOD
“Readers will most certainly swoon over Sophie and Nic’s ill-fated romance … the tense, page-turning conclusion should entice readers.”

Coffee @ Midnite: 2010
These are what we found around the neighbourhood..
Captured with Sony Ericsson K850i
I see double without glasses.
Actually, I don't know what I have to draw for Illustration Friday theme this week. And eventually I end up with this. It's a woman wearing glasses. I'll assume this lady is me. I have already had to wear glasses since I was a little. In old days, kids who wore glasses must have read a lot of books unlike nowadays, when I took my son to the ophthalmologist, she had already guessed that my son played too much games in the computer. She said that It was already common now that children had problem with their eyes because they spent so much times in front of computer.
Day 5 - Best friends
30 days drawing challenge,
Day 4 - Favorite Place
Day 3 - Favorite food
Day 3 for 30 days drawing challenge
I'm totally a dog person!
Yay! I decided to do that 30 day drawing challenge. But since I can't draw everyday due to my busy activities as a mom, of course, it won't be 30 days any more, it could take longer than that.But I will try to do my best. So, here it is ...Day 1 - Yourself.
These are what we have for breakfast when one of the member of our family have birthday. A tasty birthday cake, fresh milk and of course some nice birthday gifts. and a cup of coffee for me.just another drawing for this week Illustration Friday theme.
My first daughter kept asking me why I didn't draw a picture of her. So to answer her question, here's my drawing for you, honey. Hope you like it.
It's taken from here.I guess it would be fun. Who wants to play along?
Beautiful stuff from my kids
It was my 3-years-old daughter who drew this.
My son's drawing.
My son's collage artwork.
A collage artwork from my 7-years-old daughter.
A bookmark, made by my daughter when she was in kindergarten.
IF - Diary
This is what's inside my diary. It's all about my beautiful children. Because they are my life. They make my life complete, lively and not to mention challenging. Posted by
Alice in my mind.
I just read Alice in Wonderland again and this is my version of Alice.
"Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, THAT'S the great puzzle!'(Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll)
It's an illustration of my husband. He can play guitar and piano as well.
(PS : I'm not very good in drawing face. I'm still learning on that)
Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.Marsha Norman
