MisFitz Abroad: Diving Into the Olympics
If you really want to immerse yourself in the Olympics, but don't have any tickets, just head to the Westfield Mall in Stratford, which is adjacent to the Olympic Park. Sonia and I had tickets to Women's Synchronized 10m Platform Diving at the Aquatic Centre yesterday, so we go there early and popped into the mall for lunch beforehand. It was mobbed with people, and we had only been there a few minutes when we saw a crowd gathered around two very tall men wearing Team USA uniforms.
US athletes pose for photos at the mall
At first we thought they must be basketball players, but they turned out to be track & field stars Duane Solomon (in white) and Ryan Bailey (in blue). We later saw an extremely tall female Russian athlete graciously posing for a photo with what appeared to be a South American gentleman in a suit. We decided to save the London 2012 store at John Lewis and the Team GB store for later, so we grabbed a quick lunch and headed into the Olympic Park across the street.
Olympic rings on the Aquatic Centre
The Aquatic Centre has an oval central core with two giant 'wings' on either side. The wings are designed to be removed after the Olympics, and the remaining structure will continue to be used as a community swimming and diving facility.
Because the wings are temporary, there are no elevators or escalators, so you have to walk up A LOT of stairs!
View of Orbit tower and Olympic Stadium from the Aquatic Centre
Our seats were waaaaay up in the nosebleed section, just 8 rows from the very top. We were up so high that the roof blocked our view of the other side of the Aquatic Centre, but we still had a pretty decent view of the diving pool.
10 meters doesn't seem so high from up here!
The competition included teams from China, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Malaysia, Mexico, Australia, and Ukraine. No US team! Since the GB team had plenty of supporters on hand, we cheered for our North American neighbors: Canada and Mexico.
Fellow divers watch the competition. Tom Daley is in there somewhere...
Despite being miles above the action, I managed to get some decent photos using the 'high-speed burst' setting on my little camera. You can see how synchronized these amazing divers really are!
We chose the right teams to cheer for. Mexico and Canada won silver and bronze respectively. Not surprisingly, China won the gold.
After the medal ceremony, we made our way back down the stairs and spent some time exploring the rest of the Olympic Park. It is HUGE!
One of two giant McDonald's with Orbit tower in the background
We spent some time watching the Women's Gymnastics team final on the big screen at Park Live. Very cool, especially considering the final result. Of course, the coverage mostly focused on the British gymnasts, but we did get to see several Team USA performances.
Other interesting sights in the Olympic Park...
The Olympic Broadcast studio, resting atop a stack of shipping containers
One of three large shops selling Olympic souvenirs
The Gloriana, which carried the Olympic Torch down the Thames from
Hampton Court Palace - and was in the Thames Jubilee Pageant
The massive Westfield Mall
Flowers and Water Polo arena
By the time we were ready to leave, it was 8 pm, so we went back to the mall for a quick dinner before heading home. We ended up eating Indian food in the food court and watching swimming on TV with an international crowd, including Chinese, Dutch, British, and other American fans. It was a fun atmosphere, with people clapping and cheering as if we were actually in the Aquatic Centre rather than across the street in a shopping mall food court.
Watching swimming at the mall
Today was the first day since Sonia arrived that we didn't have anything specific on our agenda. We ran a few errands and then headed to the Victoria & Albert Museum to see the special exhibits on Ballgowns and Heatherwick Studio. The Heatherwick design exhibit was particularly timely as they designed the amazing Olympic cauldron used in the opening ceremony. They had a model of it in the museum, which they must have added recently -- it would have ruined the surprise if they had it on display before the Olympics began.
So, are well all Olympic-ed out now? No way! More to come...

Stayed here with my husband for a short break and we both loved it. It is located in a very rural area, surrounded by countryside. We awoke each day to the sound of cows and sheep in the fields outside. We did not take a car with us and so each day we walked around the lovely lanes and countryside taking in the view. There are 2 restaurants around 20 mins walk away, both very nice. If you were staying longer than a few days, you would need a car.The owners were extremely welcoming and helpful. Every day we had fresh homemade bread or cake for breakfast which was delicious. Our hosts went out of their way to help us, even giving us a lift in the car a couple of times. Slept so well at night because it was completely silent.Would highly recommend for a relaxing break in the countryside,

The Business CaseMachinery protection and asset condition monitoring systems are an investment that pays back quickly and innumerous ways. Today, such systems have moved from simply “good engineering practice” to “good businesspractice.” And for good reason—they have proven their value time and again in not just the power generationindustry, but nearly every industry that depends upon its machinery as part of the production process. Payback through Protection Our solutions help protect your machinery from catastrophic failures and their costs. For more than 50 years, the Bently Nevada name has been recognized for its industry leadership in machinery protection and condition monitoring. Today, with more than one million channels of machinery protection installed worldwide, customers have made us the proven choice for machine protection. We not only protect your machinery, but our legendary product quality, deep application expertise, and highly competent locally available service help protect your condition monitoring investment as well. Payback through Mechanical Validation Our solutions let you capture baseline machinery conditions, pre- and post-maintenance, giving you a reference for optimal decision making. One of the most crucial times in the life of a machine is immediately after maintenance has been performed. We can tell you if “all is well” with systems that capture relevant data both before and after maintenance. You can instantly see if problems are present and make decisions accordingly. For many customers, the ability to knowledgeably continue with or abort the startup of a turbine-generator train can more than pay for their entire system in a single event. Payback through Predictive Maintenance Our solutions deliver information that allows you to perform maintenance when conditions—not calendars—dictate. The results of a predictive maintenance program enabled by our condition monitoring solutions speak for themselves. Consider this European power generation customer’s findings when they benchmarked the 25 years they have been using condition monitoring as the basis for their maintenance decisions versus the calendar-based approach they relied on previously: — Time between outages increased by 80% — Outage durations decreased by 60% — Fleet availability increased by 3.5% 5.

Measurable Results, Tangible ValuePlant-wide value through condition monitoring occurs asset-by-asset. Our solutions for combined-cycle plantsencompass not just your critical equipment where downtime is the dominant economic driver and can reduceor even halt plant output, but also your less critical assets where maintenance and labor costs are of primaryconcern. Below are just a few examples of the dozens of different asset types we can address. Gas Turbines Performance monitoring can be just as critical as condition monitoring when it comes to maximizing the efficiency of your gas turbines. GE’s EfficiencyMap* software delivers continuous thermodynamic performance information that enables you to identify and correct root causes of efficiency losses. A combined-cycle power plant uses EfficiencyMap performance monitoring software, and employs GE’s services team to review the data and generate a monthly Performance and Optimization Report. One report uncovered MW losses in the gas turbine and diagnosed the root cause as a measurement error in the barometric pressure instrumentation, causing the gas turbine to under- fire. That insight enabled the services team to quickly correct the offending pressure instrumentation and provided a substantial savings in fuel cost for the plant. All totaled, the plant is currently saving over $500,000 USD per year as a result of optimization opportunities identified by EfficiencyMap software and the Performance and Optimization Reports. Steam Turbines Our comprehensive suite of Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) measurements combined with our thermodynamic performance monitoring capabilities provides a total solution for protecting and monitoring steam turbines and the entire steam cycle. When a steam turbine exhibited sustained high vibration, concerned plant personnel consulted a Bently Nevada Machinery Diagnostics Engineer who remotely accessed the monitoring system, identified looseness in a bearing assembly, and confirmed that the unit could stay online, deferring repairs until a more convenient time. By conducting planned versus unplanned maintenance, $900,000 USD of lost production was averted. Generators Bearing vibration and winding temperatures are key measurements for detecting everything from shorted windings to misalignment to bearing instabilities. We monitor thousands of generators worldwide. Using System 1 software and Bently Nevada machinery protection systems, a plant was able to diagnose shorted rotor bars on a generator, yet keep the unit online by balancing vibration levels and VARS to keep the thermal bow of the generator rotor to a minimum. VARS were shared across the other four units until this particular generator could be rewound during a planned outage. Since this is a baseload plant, the economic benefits accrued were substantial. 8.
Boiler Feedwater PumpsCritical to operating your plant at full capacity, loss of a boiler feedwater pumphas significant economic consequences. Bearing vibration/temperaturemeasurements on these pumps and their prime movers are essential forprotecting against catastrophic failures and for assessing mechanical health.Increased vibration levels were detected on a boiler feed pump being returnedto service at the end of a major planned outage. The Bently Nevada conditionmonitoring system enabled plant personnel to diagnose and fix the problemwithout delaying the startup schedule and declaration of full plant availability.$90,000 USD in contract penalties were avoided, as well as potential damage tothe machine.Cooling Water PumpsCooling water pumps are a critical part of a plant’s cooling system and requireperiodic inspection of the bearing and seals to avoid failures. Of course,inspections can be costly due to downtime and maintenance expenses. Further,unexpected problems such as leaks often occur when the pump is returnedto service. Clearly, increasing the interval between inspections can result insubstantial savings.When this combined-cycle plant went into commercial operation, the OEMrecommended mechanical seals and bearings on four Cooling Water Pumpsbe inspected every two years. Instead, on the recommendation of GE, the plantused their System 1 software to closely monitor the bearing and seals, collectingvibration data in three-month snapshots, and found no sign of deterioration. Thisallowed for the maintenance period to be extended by 11 2 years, and inspectionsto be conducted on a 3 1 2 -year cycle versus the OEM-recommended 2-year cycle.Cooling Tower FansWhen operating at or near design performance limits, loss of even a singlecooling tower can curtail plant output. Even when curtailment is not a concern,repair costs can be substantial. The speed-reducing gearbox is a particularlyvulnerable failure location that warrants vibration monitoring.A plant lost more than $300,000 USD to cooling tower fan problems beforeinstalling permanent monitoring. In one instance, a blade sheared off completely.The resulting unbalance destroyed the entire fan assembly and parts of the tower,even though simple vibration switches were installed and a portable data collectorwas being used to check the fans monthly. After permanent monitoring systemswere installed, no further failures have occurred. 9.

Pierce Whole Nutrition: Non-GMO Shopping Guide
Yesterday I talked about GMOs and why there is some controversy surrounding them. I also provided some tips for avoiding GMOs in the food you purchase and consume. Today, I will go into more detail around which foods are safe, and which ones may contain GMOs.
According to one source, most fruits and vegetables that are grown in the United States are NOT genetically modified. Even products such as seedless watermelon are considered non-GMO. Some zucchini, yellow squash, and sweet corn may be GM, as well as about half of the papaya that comes from Hawaii.
However, I find it difficult to believe that most fruits and veggies are non-GMO. I know at one point tomatoes were often GM and could be altered to stay fresh about 6 weeks from when they were picked, which is about a month longer than regular tomatoes. And sometimes you see fruits or vegetables in the grocery store that just look too enormous to NOT be GM – or at least that’s what I think. But, my source says most fruits and veggies are safe, so let's stick with that!
In the meat, fish and eggs department, it gets kind of complicated. There are no genetically modified meat, fish or eggs that are approved for human consumption, so in theory they are all safe. However, many of the foods we consume come from animals who were raised on genetically modified grains. Therefore, the negative affects of eating GMOs are passed through to the meat, fish or eggs. Some tips for avoiding animal products that were fed GM grains include the following: consume wild – not farmed – fish, because farmed fish are often raised on GM feed; and consume animals and animal products that are 100% grass-fed. Some non-GMO meat and fish brands include Organic Prairie, Tropical Traditions, and Vital Choice. Some non-GMO egg brands include Egg Innovations Organic, Eggland’s Best Organic, Horizon Organic, Land O’Lakes Organic, Nest Fresh Organic and Organic Valley.
Since soy is one of the biggest ingredients to watch out for in terms of GMOs, “alternative” meat products made from soy often contain GMOs. Brands like Boca (owned by Kraft), Gardenburger, and Morningstar Farms (owned by Kellogg) may contain GMO ingredients, unless you purchase the organic line. Non-GMO alternative meat product brands that are safe include Whole Foods’ 365 brand, Amy’s, EcoVegan, Small Planet Tofu, and Vitasoy.
In the dairy department, basically anything that is certified organic is considered safe. Even if the label says that the product was produced without rbGH or rbST, the cows could still have been fed GM feed, so look for that certified organic label.
I think the baby foods and infant formulas are particularly important to watch out for, because we want to be extra careful about what we put into those growing little bodies! Milk or soy protein is the basis of most infant formulas, and some brands even contain GMO-derived corn syrup, corn syrup solids or soy lecithin. Non-GMO baby brands include: Baby’s Only Organic, Bella Baby, Earth’s Best, Gerber, HAPPYBABY, Mom Made Meals, Organic Baby, PediaSmart, Plum Organics, and Tastybaby. The baby brands that may include GMO ingredients include Beech-Nut, Enfamil, Good Start, Nestle, and Similac/Isomil. Stay away from these if possible.
For those of you that have an iphone, there is now an app that helps you shop GMO-free. It’s called ShopNoGMO, and it’s FREE! I just downloaded it and it seems like they have a lot of brands in their database, so it will be helpful. There is also a website you can utilize: www.nongmoshoppingguide.com. Good luck!

From 4,884 reviews. TripAdvisor Traveler Rating.
Thou the cab driver from the airport couldn't find the hotel entrance, the surrounding area was great with lots of food and shopping options within 5-10 mins walk. Small room as expected in most hotels in Singapore. Bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was not really a "room", it was divided by some movable panels... so very little privacy as one can imagine. It was ok for me since I was traveling alone.

value: A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis. Facilities provided inside a hotel room may range from a modest-quality mattress in a small room to large suites with bigger, higher-quality beds, a dresser, a refrigerator and other kitchen facilities, upholstered chairs, a flat screen television, and en-suite bathrooms.

{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Sweet Corn Chicken Soup
Sweet Corn Chicken Soup http://picturetherecipe.com/index.php/recipes/sweet-corn-chicken-soup/ Serves 4 Simple and healthy soup recipe with sweet corn kernels in a flavorful chicken stock with egg drop, that's an Indo-Chinese favorite. Ingredients 1 large Chicken breasts (or 2 small ones) 1 (15 oz) can of Sweet Corn (you can also used cream style corn if you like) 5-6 cups Chicken Stock/broth 1 small Onion 3 cloves Garlic 2 thin slices of fresh Ginger 1 1/2 Tbsp. oil 2-3 Tbsp. sugar Seasoning salt (according to taste) 1/2 tsp. ground white/black pepper 1 tsp. soy sauce 2 tsp. rice vinegar 1 tsp. Sesame oil 2 egg whites 3 green onions, finely sliced 2 Tbsp. corn starch Instructions 1. – Start by finely dicing a whole onion. 2. – Heat some oil in a pot and sauté the onions on medium heat for a couple minutes until they turn soft and translucent. 3. – Then finely mince some garlic and about a 1/2 tsp of fresh ginger and add it to the pot, stirring to mix everything. 4. – When the aromatics have cooked a little, place a cleaned chicken breast (trim any fat from it) over the onion mix and pour in 5-6 cups of chicken stock over the top. 5. – I added a little pouch of concentrated chicken broth flavor boost, as my stock was rather watered down. Bring the stock to a boil, cover the pot and turn down the heat to a gentle simmer. 6. – Allow the chicken to cook for about 30 minutes, turning over the chicken half-way through the cooking process, so it cooks evenly. 7. – After the chicken it cooked all the way through, carefully remove the chicken breast into a dish and set it aside to cool. 8. – While the chicken is cooling down, turn the heat of the soup up add a can of drained sweet corn to it. 9. – Next add some sugar (2-3 tablespoons, depending on how sweet the corn was), seasoning salt (according to taste), pepper, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil. Stir the soup well. 10. – Separate 2 eggs and whisk the egg whites with a fork. 11. – Now start stirring the soup with one hand to create a little whirlpool and pour the egg whites with a steady stream into the swirling soup, thereby creating little ribbons of egg in the soup. It may not look pretty, but it tastes delicious and adds nutritional value to the soup. 12. – Shred or dice (which ever you prefer) into bite size pieces and add it back to the soup. 13. – Give the soup a taste and adjust the seasonings according your taste. If you’d like it little sweeter add a dash more sugar, or little tangier add more vinegar, or more salt etc. 14. – Add some finely sliced green onion to the soup (reserving a little of the green part for a garnish). 15. – To thicken the soup, dissolve 2 tablespoons of corn starch in a little water and add it to the boiling soup while stirring. 16. – Let the soup thicken to your desired consistency and then turn the heat off. 17. – Garnish with some fresh green onion slices & serve hot.

{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Napa Cabbage & Ramen Noodle Salad
Napa Cabbage & Ramen Noodle Salad http://picturetherecipe.com/index.php/recipes/napa-cabbage-ramen-noodle-salad/ The site won’t let me copy JUST the one photo. It shows all the photos on this blog entry. To see a photo of the salad, just go to the link. Sorry. Ingredients: A whole head of Napa Cabbage 1 Pack of Ramen noodles (any flavor, as you just need the noodles) 1/4 cup slivered almonds 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds 1 tsp. of butter or butter spray For the Dressing: 2 Tbsp. olive oil 2 tsp. soy sauce 2 Tbsp. sugar 1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar (or white vinegar) Salt to taste Method: Tear the cabbage leaves into bite sized pieces. I don’t use the center white part, but it’s up to you, if you like it by all means throw that in as well. In a frying pan, add a little oil…or spray it with butter spray. Toast the pack of ramen noodles (crushed), the almonds and the sesame seeds, till they’re lightly golden. Cool them down on a paper napkin. Move on to the dressing… Add all the dressing ingredients (sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, rice wine vinegar and salt) in a jar or bottle and shake the hell out of it. Toss the toasted sesame seeds, almonds and ramen noodles with the Napa cabbage and pour over the dressing. Take a taste and you’ll see what the fuss is all about!

Travel Wolfe: June 2013
"See Vermont"
It is now time to put my 8th Vermont trip into perspective. Eight times I have ventured to visit the Green Mountain State. Eight times I have crossed Lake Champlain to enjoy all that the Green Mountains have to offer. Which is so much!
It is the natural beauty of the land. The diversity of the state of Vermont. Which includes; lakes, mountains, rivers, islands, and valleys. It is the rich history of Vermont. How a tiny area. Inhabited by simple farm people. Banded together to form a country. The Republic of Vermont founded in 1777. Under the leadership of Ethan Allan. The fact that today in the year 2013. Vermont hasn't really changed very much. The Green Mountains are still as beautiful as ever. They are still inhabited by a small group of simple and strong people. Who are proud to call Vermont there home. The state of Vermont to me resembles a beautiful and unique European Country. That is forever lost in North America. For living in Vermont today. Is totally different then living in Canada or the U.S.A., in my opinion. Vermont represents a quality of life. That the other two counties just can't match!
So for anybody who reads this post. Do yourself a favor and "See Vermont". You will be happy and glad when you do!
The picture is a vintage 1971 Vermont licence plate. That was obtain on this recent trip.

The Burlington Scene
My last day of 2013 trip to Vermont. Was spent in the beautiful city of Burlington. I drove up from The Gathering Inn. Then found a great place to park my car on Pearl Street. There is a nice parking lot in behind the Dunkin' Donuts located there.
After getting settled in. I rode my Raleigh Bike to get some lunch. I found and ate at a nice Mexican restaurant. The food was very good. The portion was small. But much better. Compared then if it was the other way.
Then I rode my bike down to Lake Champlain. To ride the Burlington Bike Path. I rode the path for about 5 miles. Until I reached and crossed the bridge that crosses the Winooski River.
After I rode back to Burlington. I had a brief look in a Record Shop. Then the rain began. I found a great coffee shop to enjoy a hot cup of Joe. Before I headed back south to enjoy a party at the Gathering Inn. being held in my honor. There is no way I could be late for that.
I have included some pictures of enjoying my time. In Vermont's beautiful city. The city of Burlington.

Today was more classic weather over the Green Mountains. I just decided to stay close to home. To relax and do some bike rides on route 100.
The first ride was again to visit and enjoy a nice cup of coffee at Sandy's. I also ordered a sandwich to go. For my sustenance at lunch time. After the first ride. I just chilled out at the Gathering Inn. Just trying to relax and rejuvenate my mind and body. Isn't that what enjoying quality time is all about? After enjoying the lunch that I purchased from "Sandy's" in the morning. I then set out on my second bike ride of the day. This time it was to visit one of the most impressive water falls in Vermont. That would be "Moss Glen Falls". Which is located only 7 miles to the south of the Gathering Inn on Route 100. It took me about 1 hour of peddle power to arrive at "Moss Glen Falls". I did enjoy to hang out and enjoy this awesome natural site for awhile. As I had Moss Glen Falls all to myself.
The ride back to the Gathering Inn was all downhill. Much easier then then moving north on route 100. The return ride of 7 miles was achieved in about 40 minutes. Then I enjoyed a short dip in the clear and cool White River that is a short walk from the Gathering Inn. Also enjoying to sit out in the backyard of the Gathering Inn after dinner was also a great part of a perfect day. During my 2013 visit to "The Land of Green".

The Gathering Inn of Hancock Vt.
I have to do a post on this great place to stay. Where I have enjoyed to stay. During 3 of my Vermont vacations. Located in the village of Hancock. Which is located right in the heart of the Green Mountains. Where the Middlebury Gap (route 125) connects with Route 100.
Kathleen and Rick who operate the Gathering Inn. Will make you feel at home when you arrive and during your Vermont vacation.
The Gathering Inn is a classic Vermont farm home. That is very comfortable to stay in. The atmosphere will still give you the pleasure. Of living on a farm. Plus it is well situated. For day trips to visit other locations in the State. I would recommend the Gathering Inn for anyone planing a short or long stay in the "Green Mountains State" of Vermont. http://www.gatheringinnvt.com/

South To Manchester!
Today, Mother Nature was in her best mood. The weather today. In the Green Mountain State was spectacular!
After my bike ride to Sandy's Bakery and back, in the morning. I set out to head in a southerly direction. To visit Manchester, Vermont. The visit consisted of having lunch at Zoey's Sandwich Shop. There Sandwiches are excellent. Served on there homemade bread. The homemade cookies are huge, and very tasty! The handmade potato chips are mediocre at best.
Then I went to try and have a swim. At the Old Marble Quarry, located in the village of Dorset. You have to travel about 5 miles north on Route 30 to arrive there. Just a fabulous place to take a dip. However the temperature of the water today was frigid. I only went in the water one time, and didn't stay in for very long. I am now a member of the polar beard club! Yahoo!!!
Then I continued north on route 30 heading towards the town of Poultney, Vt. This part of the journey. I got to enjoy again another scenic Byway in The Green Mountain State. "The Stone Valley Byway". Also as an added bonus. I passed right by the beautiful Lake St. Catherine. I just had to spend some quality time there. Just enjoying the view and doing nothing else!
Then I checked out a very nice book store located in Poultney. I picked up a couple of nice additions to my library. Then it was again relying on my GPS to guild my back to The Gathering Inn. Dinner was a homemade steak dinner at the Inn! A day to remember. Spent here in "The Land of Green!!!!

All of Us Were Sophie Blog Tour w Giveaway! | Happy Tails and Tales Blog

All of Us Were Sophie Blog Tour w Giveaway!
Hello everyone!! Today I have another guest that I am so glad is returning! This author had an excellent series that I loved so much, and with this new book I was so excited to help her share it! So let me show you some goodies!! 🙂
Synopsis for All Of Us Were Sophie
Amazon Buy Links: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/160659320X?ie=UTF8&tag=httpwwwgoodco-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=160659320X&SubscriptionId=1MGPYB6YW3HWK55XCGG2
Ok, so if I could clone myself, I am pretty sure I wouldn’t, LAWD there’s enough with only ONE of me hahahaha LOL BUT this concept and the way it was written is totally cool! Because, in order to save herself, or well one of her self, Sophie must create clones of herself to save at least one, because some one is trying to kill her. Each clone, a piece of Sophie included, will have to work to find out who is trying to kill her, why, and how to stop them from being successful. And her husband was the original person to create the duplicator, and needless to say, they both kept secrets from each other, which only adds to the mystery.
Jeromy’s wife died and he wants to raise his daughters in a safe place. And somehow, he’s landed in the middle of the crazy that is Sophie and her mystery. All he wanted was normalcy and he definitely didn’t bargain for this. He’s the one called to the scene when a woman-Sophie- tells the police someone keeps trying to kill her. And she also can’t recall the last two weeks of her life, so she isn’t really helping. And the duplicates of Sophie now have different names and lightly differences in personality, and they are following all evidence that the original Sophie left for them.
The writing is so imaginative, and this story line will grab you from the start. The first sentence will hook you. It’s a fantasy concept with a mystery plot line, and there’s so much to the story and the plot twists were excellent. And there’s some secondary characters that play to the suspense and suspect list of killers that made the story so much more unique. And not only that, but it’s fast paced, it has to be, because Sophie not only has to keep the killer from killing her, but to keep these other characters from becoming a victim in the cross hairs. I am quite intrigued. LOL
This is definitely going to appeal to those mystery lovers, but the concept of cloning yourself, and then using the clones to solve your future murder plot was so new and fresh. I’ve loved this author’s writing style, and though it’s different from her other series, the feel of her flow just gets you caught up in the world that she’s created. A very imaginative, very entertaining, well written story! 5 PAWS!
Theme Song for All Of Us Were Sophie By Resa Nelson
My newest novel is All Of Us Were Sophie, a murder mystery with the science fiction idea that in today’s world it’s possible to make exact copies of yourself in an instant. Those copies would be human beings who are exactly like you with your personality and life experience intact.
The story begins with Sophie knowing that someone is trying to murder her, and the killer is closing in fast. She uses a machine her husband recently invented to make copies of herself, hoping at least one of them will escape whoever is trying to kill her.
There’s one problem. The act of duplication destroys the original. Sophie knows the only way to save her own life is to allow the duplicating machine to kill her.
For that reason, the theme song I’ve chosen is “You Only Live Twice” from the James Bond movie by the same name. I think it captures Sophie’s dilemma as well as the danger and adventure in All Of Us Were Sophie.
Resa Nelson’s first novel, The Dragonslayer’s Sword, was nominated for the Nebula Award and was also a Finalist for the EPPIE Award. This medieval fantasy novel is based on a short story first published in the premiere issue of Science Fiction Age magazine and ranked 2nd in that magazine’s first Readers Top Ten Poll. The Dragonslayer’s Sword is Book 1 in her 4-book Dragonslayer series, which also includes The Iron Maiden (Book 2), The Stone of Darkness (Book 3), and The Dragon’s Egg (Book 4).
Resa’s standalone novel, Our Lady of the Absolute, is a fantasy/mystery/thriller about a modern-day society based on ancient Egypt. Midwest Book Review gave this book a 5-star review, calling it “a riveting fantasy, very highly recommended.”

Bird Brain Designs: Happy Mother’s Day!
Yesterday while visiting Tina’s house in Sonoma, Mother Nature gave us a lovely gift. While picking fruit from the over loaded lemon tree, a nest of baby black birds was discovered. Campbell is seen checking out under the sweet smelling tree.
These fuzzy headed little ones are so very ugly they are really cute! Tina thought she counted 7 hungry mouths.
I couldn’t help myself and poked my head into the tree many times to see the little critters. They all immediately popped their little heads up, mouths open VERY wide in hopes of a yummy snack.
Mom black bird was busy most of the day zooming back and forth from her beautifully made home finding food for her growing family. Mother Nature is a wonderfully clever gal – always a star on Mother’s Cay.
Happy Day to everyone, especially all Moms….enjoy!

Wow the tree is so full. How cool and the baby birds are sweet.

What a lovely surprise to find amongst the lemons! They're so cute! :0)
Nola Larson May 18, 2009 at 8:36 AM
Isn't it wonderful to watch nature at it's best. I have recently discovered a robin building a nest in the tree outside my bedroom window. She is now setting and I cannot enter my room without going to the window to see if everything is ok. Can hardly wait for the little ones to hatch.

Hurray! So exciting! I love that last picture with all the shoes 🙂 such is the life of a runner. I think I kicked about 6 pairs of running shoes out of the living room while cleaning for a party this afternoon. I hope your marathon is drier than the weather says! Good luck!

Oddepia: Brian Vickers to miss remainder of 2013 season due to blood clot in right leg
Brian Vickers to miss remainder of 2013 season due to blood clot in right leg
Brian Vickers to miss remainder of 2013 season due to blood clot in right leg, Brian Vickers will miss the rest of the year after he was placed on blood thinners because of a blood clot in his right calf.
Vickers missed half of the 2010 season because of blood clots in his left leg and lungs when he was at Red Bull Racing. He was able to return for the 2011 season. He's expected to be ready for the start of the 2014 season as well after Monday's news.
It was announced earlier this season that Vickers would drive Michael Waltrip Racing's No. 55 full-time in 2014.
“If there’s anything to be positive about with today’s news it’s that this is only a temporary setback,” Vickers said in a statement. “The timing for this is never good, but I’m glad we’ll get it out of the way now and be ready to run for a championship with the Aaron’s Dream Machine in 2014.”
Waltrip was already scheduled to run Talladega, and the team will announce a replacement for Vickers in the final four Cup races of the year at a later date. Vickers assumed the majority of the driving duties of the No. 55 this season after his win at New Hampshire when a release was negotiated for Mark Martin to drive Tony Stewart's No. 14 after Stewart's broken leg.
Vickers will also miss the final three Nationwide Series races this season. He was driving full-time in Joe Gibbs Racing's No. 20 car and is currently eighth in the standings, 97 points behind leader Austin Dillon.

RunwithJackabee: Gun Range Adventures
Gun Range Adventures
Can I just point out how cold it is right now? It is 18° here right now and it feels much colder than that. Luckily, the snow is falling and the ground is pretty and white so that makes up for the awfully cold weather.
Who here likes to read? I know I do! I have been in the market for a good read for a little while, but have not had the time to actually pick up a book and read. Last week, I put in a Hold request at my local library to get a copy of The Happiness Project.
I've read about two chapters of the book and so far am really enjoying reading it! Once I get it finished, I will make sure to share my review with you all.
Saturday, Justin and I joined Da Jones' to celebrate Kelsey's birthday. Justin and Kelsey are about 2 weeks apart and it's always fun to see them hang out. Kelsey's choice of birthday celebration was to head out to the gun range and test out his new gun. Of course Justin and I were super excited when Sarah invited us along on the adventure. Especially since Justin could bring his gun along and I could fire it for the first time.
Everyone got to shoot a few different guns since Justin, Kelsey and Mr. Jones all brought guns with them to shoot. We also were able to shoot moving targets with a Glock. I am not a fan of the Glock because the higher caliber makes the gun "kick" back more. I tend to favor a .22 caliber because it is not so rough on the hands.
After we went to the gun range, we headed out to The Sardine Room in Plymouth, MI. I had never heard about this restaurant before, so I was excited for a new adventure at a new restaurant.
The food was so good I forgot to take pictures! We tried fish off the bone, wagyu sirloin, sweet potato pancake with curried rabbit, house made gnocci, and the braised lamb leg. I can honestly say that I tried a wider variety of food at this restaurant than I have in probably a year, maybe two. It is always exciting to try something different at a new restaurant! If you're ever in the area and are looking for a good restaurant, I would definitely check this place out!
What is one food you've tried that you never imagined you would like?
Mine? Rabbit. It was pretty tasty.

Are nature programmes lacking bio-diversity? – Wildlife and Words
Are nature programmes lacking bio-diversity?	The BBC’s new big nature documentary (or is it drama?) series, narrated by David Attenborough; ‘The Hunt’ is now gracing our screens and astonishing viewers with incredible shots of incredible things in incredible landscapes. The HD is jaw-dropping, the camera work is excellent, the animals are fascinating and the whole thing is very well done. But we’ve seen it all before, and I’m getting a little frustrated.
The BBC also produces the ‘Natural World’ documentary series and the most recent episode was all about Orcas; because we’ve never had a documentary about those before (to be read in a sarcastic tone). It seems to me that current nature documentaries, current conservation organisations and the media all reuse the same animals, the same recognisable faces and the same stories. What if a big-hit film was made with a stunning cast, an equally successful sequel was then made, and then another, and then another and so on for ten, fifteen sequel films all starring the exact same cast – do you think people would get a little fatigued? Most documentaries keep showing us the same cast of animals repeatedly – polar bear, big cats, elephants, orcas, dolphins, wolves, penguins, crocodiles and bloody wildebeest. They may be filmed exquisitely in amazing slow-motion, they may be familiar, attractive animals and they may have great stories to tell – but there is so much else to show.
I had a flick through my young brothers animal encyclopedia the other day, it contained illustrations of almost every known land animal on earth (excepting invertebrates) – now I don’t consider myself an expert but I do have a strong interest in wildlife and have read rather a lot on the subject – yet it seemed that for every animal I recognised in the book there were two I had never heard of. There were species of wild cat with unusual names, there were strange marsupials of which I had never heard, there were interesting squirrel-like mammals with which I was not familiar and there were at least three more species of armadillo than I thought there were. Of all those animals in that book the ones used in current nature documentaries constituted at a guess less than 20% of those featured. I WANT to see films of these strangely-named animals, I want to know their life stories and see how they hunt or raise young – yet all I get is the well-worn tale of cheetahs hunting gazelles (this time with three extra angles!).
I want to be clear that I still very much enjoy seeing big cats and whales and rhinos on the telly and they DO have very interesting natural histories, I do think that ‘The Hunt’ is largely superb. But it seems that these wonderful organisms are being used simply as ‘brand-recognition’ to draw in audiences – as well as using their cute factor and large size to encourage people to care and help protect them – they are poster boys. Even well-known species like the Platypus are neglected, when did you last see the platypus or echidna in a documentary? The thing is I struggle to find an excuse for this other than they are just a bit weird.
The thing that strikes me when I do a bit of research is how many different species of animal and plant there are – absolutely tons! Yet the vast majority are ignored by the media and even conservation organisations, many of these creatures are under threat but the public don’t know about them so if they did go extinct would anyone but a few naturalists care? Education is everything, even if a species is not under threat it is still important that we showcase it, if only to show people the incredible diversity of life – take the Numbat for example; when did you ever see a numbat in any television programme? What the heck is a numbat? I want to know about what it eats, where it lives and how it survives, what does it look like and how does it breed? The television should be telling me about the numbat, or the radio or the newspaper or a magazine or even a billboard – WHAT IS A NUMBAT?
I just feel like documentaries have become about story and drama and being epic – nature is epic and it does have drama and a story to tell us; but focus too closely on just those things and the wild can start to look like a soap opera – rather than being educational. There are far too many species being underrepresented or ignored completely, while a precious and very recognisable few take all the limelight – I want to see more and I want new species to be in awe of. There are over a million different organisms on Earth, the BBC has not filmed all of them, so show us the numbats of this world already; I’m tired of pandas.

My Terminal Life by Julie G Roberts: CMST 9780957277724 Paperback - BuySomeBooks
Home Julie G Roberts My Terminal Life
ISBN 10: 0957277725 / ISBN 13: 9780957277724
Published by CMST
96 pages.
