soy wax - container blend
cotton cord wick - 3" longer than the height of the jar
metal wick base
Large glass measuring cup
Determine the amount of wax needed: Fill the glass container with water. Pour the water from the container into a measuring cup and make a note of the amount. 1 pound of melted soy wax will make 2 ¼ cups of liquid wax. Dry your glass container.
Attach the metal wick base to one end of the wick by following the instructions on the package. Tie the other end of the wick in the center of a pencil and balance the pencil across the opening of the glass jar. This will keep you wick straight during the pour and cooling stages.
Fill your pan 1/3 of the way with water and place on stovetop. Bring water to a boil. Place the un-melted wax into the glass measuring cup and place in the pan of boiling water. This like a homemade double broiler.
Place the thermometer into the wax and check the temperature. Stir wax as needed. Heat wax to 160 degrees. (NEVER HEAT ABOVE 165 DEGREES)
Wearing oven mitts remove from heat and place on a heatproof surface. Add fragrance oil when the temperature drops to 125 degrees. Stir thoroughly. The amount of fragrance used is a personal preference. You can add more drops for a stronger scent. A good guide line is between 20-40 drops.
When melted wax reaches 110 degrees – very slowly pour wax into your container to just below the top. Let your candles rest at room temperature (Not a cool and drafty place) Make sure the wick is centered and taught.
Once wax is completely cooled, trim the wick to ¼” long. Wait 4 days before burning in order to settle the fragrance.
Add a bow!


We have two storage spaces in our house. The layman’s term would be “crawl space” but that implies room to crawl. Inside this tiny space from floor to rafter you can find Baby Einstein jumpers and plastic bins of clothes labelled by season, gender, and age. If you peek around the corner you might spy the rails to the cribs before they were converted to toddler beds and maybe a Bumbo or two. And though my twins are going on three and my eldest is five, none of it is going anywhere.
We worked too hard to get where we are to just let it go. After thousands of dollars and rounds of fertility treatments that culminated in in vitro fertilization, we came out the other side with nine little embryos. And those little embryos led to Charlie and Cora and Jonas, our three lovely and loving (most of the time) kids. We would not have it any other way.
Except it took six embryos to get our three children. Three still remain—frozen and waiting expectantly in their personal storage bin at the local fertility clinic. We pay annually for their rental space. And in return we buy time. Time to discuss, again, the ethical implications of what we have gotten ourselves into.
Because of our personal and religious beliefs, we knew ahead of time where we placed an embryo in the life chain. It was a baby and would be treated as such. We never dreamed we would get nine. We also never dreamed we would have one child with special needs and then twins. We could not know what fertility would look like for us once it happened. It was always an “if” not a “when.” We prayed and talked and cried and held our breaths through every bit of the process and now, for all intents and purposes, we should be at the end.
From the world’s standards, our family is complete in all the practical ways: financially, relationally, statistically. We are also emotionally maxed out with toddler twins and physical, occupational, feeding and speech therapies for our eldest.
But three embryos still remain, perfect combinations of our genetic wedding. We will not donate them for research. We will not evict them from their freezer to a warm, slow degradation into nothingness. All that is left it to give them a chance to become what they were destined for: life.
And here’s where the story gets more complicated. My body may or may not be able to handle more children. I would love to have another, but none of mine made it past thirty weeks (apparently they took the third trimester as mere suggestion). Could I do it again? Could I risk my health now as a wife to one and mother to three? Could I chance the health of the child that might come earlier than he or she should?
These are too many questions with too many hypothetical answers, so I am left with one last option: donate my three “frosties” to an anonymous couple in need. It is a good and noble thing to do to provide this chance to someone else, much like me, who desperately yearns for a child. My mind says “yes” but my heart screams “no.” I do not want to spend the rest of my life scanning the faces on the playground for someone with my eyes or my husband’s nose. I do not want to worry about the girl my son brings to dinner who looks at me with the same set to her mouth.
We do not have an answer to this unsolvable problem. The attics remain full. The house remains loud and pleasantly chaotic. I potty train and fold away winter clothes while our embryos wait in their anticipatory state. But this I know for certain, now and always, I will never have a “last child.”


In yoga, a limiting adjunct is something that limits the mind. In sanskrit it is called an Upadhi.
In Swami Sivananda’s Yoga Vedanta Dictionary he defines it as:
A superimposed thing or attribute that veils and gives a coloured view of the substance beneath it; limiting adjunct; instrument; vehicle; body; a technical term used in Vedanta philosophy for any superimposition that gives a limited view of the Absolute and makes It appear as the relative. Jiva’s Upadhi is Avidya; Isvara’s Upadhi is Maya.
He seems to suggest that an Upadhi is a concept of limitation, that anything that limits the Jiva, or mind can be considered a limiting adjunct.
During the SYVC Teacher Training Course, we are taught that there are three Upadhis – time, space and causation. Admittedly, these would seem to be the “first” limiting adjuncts because a mind can exist only within these dimensions.
First, would arise the concept of space, here vs. there, me taking up space over here, you taking up space over there. Next would be time, if something is here and not there it has to get from here to there and can’t be in both places at once, therefore, it takes time to travel from one place to another. Finally causation, in space and time one thing seems to be the cause of another.
In the relative sense all this is real. In the absolute sense none of it is real.
However, I think the concept of limiting adjunct is more broad than simply time, space and causation. In the book Self-knowledge, Swami Sivananda goes on to explain:
Sense-organs, physical body, mind, Pranas, intellect, etc., are the products of Avidya (nescience). They are Upadhis (limiting adjuncts). Negate them, sublimate them or eliminate them through Vedantic doctrine Neti-Neti (not this, not this). What remains behind, the balance or residue left is Atman or Brahman only.
Atman is one and the same in all beings. It appears different in different persons on account of the Upadhi or limiting adjunct, Antahkarana (mind). Akasa is one and the same. On account of Upadhis of pot, cloud, room, etc., it is differentiated as Ghata-Akasha (pot-ether), Megha-Akasha (cloud-ether), Mat-Akasha (room-ether), etc. When the Upadhi-pot is destroyed, when the pot is broken, the pot-ether becomes identical with the universal ether. When the Upadhi-Antahkarana is annihilated by Sadhana, the individual becomes identical with the all-pervading consciousness.
I’m pretty sure I also read in another book by Swami Sivananda that the Upadhis of the mind are time, space and causation, and the Upadhis of the Jiva are body, mind and senses. This quote I cannot find. If I find it someday I will post it here – if anybody is familiar with this quote please let me know where it is.
In the meantime if this is an incorrect interpretation based on these quotes, maybe someone who has more knowledge than me can enlighten me to the proper understanding. It seems like depending on your stage of personal evolution you would have more or less limiting adjuncts, and within a person they can vary from day to day depending on your mind set.
I don’t know, seeking answers…

When we last left our heros of the Washington Press Corps, they were basking in the glow of finally doing their jobs by holding Scottie's pudgy little feet to the fire. So how have some of the big papers followed up yesterday's stirrings? The LAT went with a front page story that talks to the people who are willing to talk on the record: Democrats. In their op-ed section, Robert Scheer connects thedots and doesn't pull any punches:
If you can't shoot the messenger, take aim at his wife.
That clearly was the intent of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove in leaking to a reporter that former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV's wife, Valerie Plame, was a CIA agent. <b> To try to conceal the fact that the president had lied to the American public about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program,</b> Rove attempted to destroy the credibility of two national security veterans and send an intimidating message to any other government officials preparing to publicly tell the truth.
That and the collection of Downing Street Memos should be nailed to the desk of every political reporter in the country today.
The NYT did a good job providing context and background in this feature that lists Plame Leak highlights from past WH press conferences and briefings. But it put Richard Stevenson on the front page with his report of the briefing, which brings their score way down. Apparently frightened by the tone of yesterday's briefing and worried that the WH wasn't able to get it's point across, Stevenson helpfully gave space to a few anonymous sources:
But in private, several prominent Republicans said they were concerned about the possible effects on Mr. Bush and his agenda, in part because Mr. Rove's stature makes him such a tempting target for Democrats.
"Knowing Rove, he's still having eight different policy meetings and sticking to his game plan," said one veteran Republican strategist in Washington who often works with the White House. "But this issue now is looming, and as they peel away another layer of the onion, there's a lot of consternation. Rove needs to be on his A game now, not huddled with lawyers and press people."
Grrrrr ..."game plan" "A game"! There's some of that comic book action-packed language that Stevenson loves. The brave Republicans refuse to back down. They just refuse to be identified. And there's more:
Mr. Rove made no public comment. A senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the White House now says its official position is not to comment on the case while it is under investigation by a federal special prosecutor, said Mr. Rove had gone about his business as usual on Monday. The official said Mr. Rove had held his regular meetings with Mr. Bush and other top White House aides, and was deeply involved in preparations for the Supreme Court nomination and efforts to push several major pieces of legislation through Congress this month.
I'm guessing that source is Rove. He knows he doesn't have to worry about swearing the crew at the NYT to super double cross-my-heart secrecy when he wants to get a message out. And this is just the kind of message Stevenson loves: Big brave Rove's not worried about Scottie having to take some flak. That's what that little punk is paid for.
Stevenson ends his story by assuring us that Rove is 100% not guilty:
The e-mail message from Mr. Cooper to his bureau chief describing a brief conversation with Mr. Rove, first reported in Newsweek, does not by itself establish that Mr. Rove knew Ms. Wilson's covert status or that the government was taking measures to protect her.
Based on the e-mail message, Mr. Rove's disclosures are not criminal, said Bruce S. Sanford, a Washington lawyer who helped write the law and submitted a brief on behalf of several news organizations concerning it to the appeals court hearing the case of Mr. Cooper and Judith Miller, an investigative reporter for The New York Times.
"It is clear that Karl Rove's conversation with Matt Cooper does not fall into that category" of criminal conduct, Mr. Sanford said. "That's not 'knowing.' It doesn't even come close."
There has been some dispute, moreover, about just how secret a secret agent Ms. Wilson was.
Rove didn't "know." They guy who wrote the law told me so. Plame had a desk job! How secret is that? Ketchum Points all around!
In retrospect, it appears clear that many White House statements about the case were carefully constructed -- giving the impression of being general denials even as the words were narrowly focused on specific allegations. During briefings, McClellan repeatedly challenged reporters to provide him "specific information" when asking about Rove, and he frequently limited his answers about White House involvement in the case to mean the act of leaking classified information. On a few occasions, however, he offered broad denials about Rove and other top aides.
Dana Milbank: Good afternoon. There's war in Iraq, bombs in London, a Supreme Court vacancy -- and all Washington cares about is what Karl Rove said two years ago to Matt Cooper. So let's get on with Topic A.


After months of work by school students across Australia we have raised $20,000 to build a school library in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
I am over the moon with this result. The Stubbies World Change Challenge was made possible through the generosity of Stubbies Schoolwear, the enthusiasm of super-charity Room to Read and our greatest renewable resource, the power of kid.
A few months ago I made a short video on Room to Read’s Students Helping Students program. We documented a school class raising almost $600 in a single day to buy books for kids in Cambodia. The video threw down the challenge to other classes around the country to do the same.
After seeing the video, Stubbies Schoolwear donated $10,000 toward the building of a library in Cambodia and the bar was raised. We needed to raise another $10,000 to complete the library’s funding.
Dozens of schools got involved raising large and small amounts through Sponsored Silence challenges, Book Swaps and Sponge Throws. Wyvern House at Sydney’s Newington College raised over $3000 toward the cause.
Now I have library hunger and I want to help fund another one. Let me know if you’d like to help!
Super-size thanks to the following for making this amazing collaboration happen: Marie Najjar from Public City for driving the project, Jennie Orchard and Katie Kohlbeck from Room to Read for their dynamism, Josie Mileto at Stubbies Schoolwear/PacBrands for funding the video and part-funding the library, the film’s generous cast and crew, the remarkable Sonia Woods, Chris Hauritz and students at OSPS and, of course, the kids, teachers, librarians, publishers and Twitterers who supported and raised funds.

It is the official recommendation of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control that people wear cloth face coverings over their nose and mouth in public settings where it’s difficult to maintain social distancing measures.
But do you need some special surgical mask for it to be effective? Or can you simply tie a bandana around your face like a bandit from the Old West? When should they be worn? And should everyone wear one?
We can help. Here are some answers to your basic mask questions.
Do I have to wear a mask?
The CDC says masks and face coverings are advised to “slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.”
Some U.S. states and cities also issued executive orders that require masks in certain areas and situations, like grocery stores or pharmacies. And many places of business won’t let customers in unless they are wearing a face covering.
Make sure you know the rules where you live and at your favorite businesses before heading out.
When should I wear a mask?
Masks or face coverings are recommended (or required) any time you go out in public where social distancing is difficult to maintain, in enclosed spaces, or when you’ll be in close proximity to people outside of your own household.
Recommendations about wearing masks while running or walking outside vary. But some experts say if you are running or walking in a congested area, like a popular boardwalk, it’s a good idea to wear a mask if you are able.
You should always wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before putting on your mask. Once you’re wearing it, the CDC recommends leaving it on the entire time you are in the situation and not touching it, putting it around your neck or up on your forehead.
Who should wear a mask?
Everyone over the age of 2 should wear a mask if they are medically able, according to the CDC. If people have trouble breathing, they should not wear one.
And masks should not be placed on people who are “unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance,” the CDC website reads.
How do I take off my mask?
When you’re ready to take it off, the CDC recommends handling the mask only by the ties or ear loops. Treat it as a contaminated item until it can be put in the wash. (Regular washing should be enough to sanitize it for your next use.)
Then, you guessed it, wash your hands again or use hand sanitizer.
Do I need a surgical mask?
No. In fact, the CDC specifically asks the general public not to seek out surgical masks or N-95 respirators because those are critical supplies for frontline workers.
In an effort to help fight the coronavirus and flatten the curve at area hospitals, many people with sewing skills began churning out homemade masks to sell or donate. And an online search reveals a plethora of options if you want to buy one.
How to make a face mask
But the CDC also offers instructions (click here!) to make your own face coverings, whether you can use a sewing machine or not. For those without sewing skills, all you need is a bandana or square scarf and rubber bands or a t-shirt and some scissors.
If possible, the CDC recommends that your face covering fit snugly against the side of your face and along your nose while still allowing you to breathe freely.
Bottom line: Something is better than nothing.

Covid-19 restrictions have meant that many organisations have turned to home working to continue their operations, with video conferencing playing an important part. The following steps outline three ways you can help to protect your organisation when setting up and using these services:
Ø Choosing the right service – you want to ensure that the video calls themselves are protected. Using an existing conference service will allow a simpler integration, reduce training and deployment costs, and maintain compliance with regulated industries.
Ø Perform a security risk assessment – request copies of any independent assessments or audits. This should give you an understanding of how the provider implements security controls, where your data is held and what they can do with it.
Ø Configure user accounts – think carefully about which setting to enforce and which to set as a default. It is recommended to implement single sign-on where possible, and to integrate the video conferencing service with your existing corporate identity. This means that it will inherit the same identity protections as your other corporate services.

The Nintendo Switch will soon released (around the 03/03/2017) and most people think that the console will not meet our expectations. A lot of people are given their analysis about the new nintendo console. that's the case of Mohammad Alavi and Hideo Kojima. They both have a different idea of the console. For Mohammad Alavi, Senior designer at Respawn Entertainment, the console isn't enough powerful. He even laugh about it and said that most of the third party developper produce games that can be run on PC, Ps4 and Xbox One. So it will be difficult to try to fit a triple A game in that kind of equipment. But the point of view of Hideo Kojima is different. He analyse the concept that vehicule the Nintendo Switch console. Speaking with IGN, he said that the future of gaming will reside in the possibility to play everywhere at will. He even compare the concept of new console to his own game named (Transfarring). For him the nintendo switch will maybe open a new era of gaming. According to him "the cloud technology is what everything will eventually move to". So everybody has his own point of view about the nintendo console but i'll simply wait and see how the console will evolve in the next month.

Here is your short paragraph on the evolution of the Peninsular Drainage!
Geologists believe that the Sahyadri-Aravali axis was the main water divide in the geological past.
One hypothesis assumes that the existing peninsula is the remaining half of bigger landmass. The Western Ghats were located in the middle of this landmass dividing the entire drainage into two symmetrical parts—one flowing in the east and the other flowing in the west.
But the western part of the Peninsula cracked and submerged in the Arabian Sea and disturbed the symmetrical plan of the rivers on either side of the watershed during the early Tertiary period. During the collision of the Indian plate, a second major distortion was introduced in that the Peninsular block was subjected to subsidence and consequent trough faulting through which now flow main west flowing rivers of the Peninsula, namely the Narmada and the Tapi. This is amply proved by the straight coastline, steep western slope of the Western Ghats, and the absence of delta formations on the western coast.
Another view is put forward keeping in view the exceptional behaviour of the Narmada and the Tapi. It is believed that these two rivers do not flow in the valleys formed by the rivers themselves. Rather they have occupied two fault planes or alluvium filled rifts in rocks running parallel to the Vindhyas. These faults are supposed to be caused by bend or ‘sagging’ of the northern part of the Peninsula at the time of upheaval of the Himalayas.
According to D.N. Wadia (1975) the Peninsular block, south of the cracks, tilted slightly eastwards thus giving new orientation to the entire drainage towards the Bay of Bengal. While this line of thought explains the present drainage system of the Peninsular India with greater satisfactions, it still leaves some questions to which there is no satisfactory answer. R.C. Mehdiratta (1962) argues that tilting should have increased the gradient of the river valleys and caused some rejuvenation of the rivers.


Kegel exercises are common among women. You’ve probably heard of women doing these pelvic exercises that involve contracting the pelvic floor muscles.
But did you know that there are Kegels for men?
K-fit Kegel Toner makes it easier for men to get started with pelvic exercises. Kegel exercises for men can be automated – to an extent – with the use of K-fit.
Why Kegel Exercises are Important in the First Place
I go to the gym, I eat healthy, and I try to walk, run or play sports regularly. Staying active is a part of my lifestyle, but none of these activities incorporate pelvis exercises for men. I never tried Kegel exercises before because I didn’t think I needed to do them.
But the more I heard about Kegels, the more I started to research them to really see if they’re worth doing or not.
Kegels actually have a lot of benefits for men.
As it turns out, these exercises can help you:
- Strengthen the muscles below your bladder
- Combat urinary incontinence
- Strengthen the pelvic floor muscles
- Improve the blood flow to your groin
- Improve sexual function
A young man who is in the pinnacle of health may not have to strengthen their bladder muscles, but strengthening these muscles can help with urinary issues that you face when you’re older.
Bedroom performance – at any age – can be improved with the right Kegel exercise routine. When you do Kegels, you’re improving blood flow to the groin, so you’ll be able to combat a few key issues, like:
- Erection function
Men who have issues with getting an erection, ejaculating too quickly or reaching orgasm can all find relief with K-fit. A few Kegel exercises can make a world of difference in the bedroom. But you will have to stick to a routine for a few weeks to really notice a difference.
Statistically, after performing pelvic floor exercises, 50% of men reported having normal erections again. More than 60% of men that had issues with premature ejaculation noted an improvement after performing Kegel exercises.
You can improve your bedroom performance with Kegel exercises.
What Can the K-fit Kegel Toner for Men Do for You?
K-fit is the best electric Kegel exerciser on the market today. An electric exerciser helps take the guess work out of doing Kegels, so you don’t have to sit there trying to locate the right muscles for days.
You’ll be able to use K-fit faster and with greater consistency than you would performing the exercises on your own.
K-fit boasts about being an automatic Kegel exerciser that helps with pelvic floor strengthening.
And it works.
Results in 2 Weeks
Consistency is key with this product, but it’s much easier to be consistent when you’re using an electric device. You can perform these exercises at home, and in just two weeks, most users report a noticeable difference.
Two weeks, or less, is such a short timeframe that it’s worth giving a shot to see if your bedroom performance improves.
K-fit benefits users in different ways. The key ways that this product can benefit you include:
- Sexual function, including improving erection, combating premature ejaculation and also helping men control their orgasms with greater ease.
- Puborectalis strengthening, which helps strengthen the muscles from the bowel upward. When properly strengthened, men gain greater control of their bowel and gas (no one wants to pass gas in the middle of sex).
- Gaining control of the bladder muscles that wrap around the urethra, helping men to better control their bladder and combat dribbles, which most men experience when they’re older.
- Prostate strengthening can also be achieved with K-fit. The muscles that wrap around the prostate should be strengthened when you have prostate surgery (after your doctor allows you to exercise).
The K-fit Kegel Toner can do a lot for your bedroom performance and health. And all of the benefits above are specific to this electric Kegel exerciser.
How the K-fit Kegel Toner Works
K-fit’s Kegel toner gives you everything you need to get started with performing Kegel exercises. The toner is ergonomically designed with a probe that is 1/2-inch in diameter and 3 inches long. If you want to attach electrode patches, you can thanks to the two accessory wires that allow up to four electrode patches to be attached.
The electrodes will provide external tibial nerve stimulation.
But the electrode patches have to be purchased separately. You don’t need the patches to benefit from K-fit. The patches are a nice addition to have, but they’re completely optional.
Keep in mind you should not use this product if:
- You have a pacemaker
- You have an insulin pump implant
Results improve over time, and you’ll find that while a lot of people notice a difference in under two weeks of usage, you should be using the K-fit for at least 12 weeks to notice a measurable impact.
As the best electric Kegel exerciser on the market, K-fit includes:
- 11 pre-set programs
- 3 empty programs that you can program yourself
Every program is different and targets a key area of the pelvic floor muscles. When you use a program, you’ll be using the device for about 20 minutes a session.
What’s nice about K-fit is that they understand each man has a different sensitivity levels. If you have a high sensitivity, you can increase or decrease the strength of the device so that it provides a level of stimulation that you’re comfortable with using.
I didn’t know how to perform Kegels or what to do with the K-fit, but the company includes everything you need to get started:
- Program guidance
- Programming instructions
Ideally, you’ll rotate between all of the programs to work on different layers of the pelvic muscles. The programs offer the most robust “exercise routine” for your pelvic floor.
When you first start using the K-fit Kegel Toner, you’ll notice that it feels weird. Most users aren’t quite sure what’s happening, but they can feel their pelvic floor muscles being toned and tightened.
Slowly, over the course of the first few weeks, you will begin to notice a difference in everything from sexual performance to holding your urine.
K-fit requires a 9V battery. The probe should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, or as needed.
Simply insert the probe, select the program you want to use, and adjust the intensity to your comfort level. The intensity level is easy to adjust thanks to the user interface, which includes plus and minus buttons that allow you to adjust the intensity up or down as needed.
It’s simple and easy to get started with K-fit, and it takes the majority of the work out of figuring out how to perform Kegel exercises on your own.
Results are fast, and most people will start noticing a difference in their bedroom performance in as little as two weeks or less. If you stick with the routine for three months, you’ll notice a significant difference in your overall pelvic floor muscle control.
K-fit is a great option for any man who wants to follow a Kegel exercise routine without the guesswork. Simply select one of the 11 programs or customize your own program, and get started with minimal effort.
If you’re looking for a way to boost your bedroom performance, K-fit offers a natural, no-chemical pill method that actually works.


I warned you last week that for the next couple of weeks I’d be all about the Christmas music so it should come as no surprise that this week’s featured tune is another fabulously adorable Christmas ditty, Teen Top’s latest release, “Snow Kiss”.
What can I say? Just watching this video fills me with all the warmest and fuzziest feels of the holiday season, and how could it not? I mean have you watched this video? It’s basically a three-minute selca of the six boys of Teen Top being all kinds of adorable while singing about holding hands and kissing in the snow. (Imagine that, a song called “Snow Kiss” and it’s all about kissing in the… Yeah, sorry, the sarcasm runs deep.) This song really is so flipping adorable and the boys are even more so. It’s the perfect tune to groove to while you’re trimming the Christmas tree or baking all the Christmas goodies and groove you will because this song’s just so catchy, you can’t help but want to dance. (Or is that just me…)
If super sweet, happy sappy Christmas songs are your thing, you’re going to love this song. If super adorable, slightly cheesy, warm-fuzzy inducing boys are your thing, you’re going to love this video. If you happen to be a fan of them both, well then you’ve pretty much died and gone to Heaven, haven’t you? That’s about where I am at the moment but I want to know what you’re thinking. Is this sugary sweet Teen Top ditty making your K-Pop Christmas playlist this year or is the sugary sweetness making your fingers curl? Be sure to let me know by leaving me a comment below!


by Meggin Cabot, contemporary (2002)
Pan, £6.99, ISBN 0-330-41189-6
This book is published as The Boy Next Door in USA. I don't know why, maybe Americans like their men young, I don't know really. Meggin Cabot's book is very funny, and I actually laugh out loud too many times that reading this book in public can be most embarrassing.
This book is actually a series of emails that, put together, tell the story of Melissa Fuller, gossip columnist in The New York Journal and John Trent, crime reporter in The New York Chronicle. They meet when Mel's next door neighbor was beaten into a coma, and Mel has to take care of the cats and dogs while trying to contact the old lady's only kin, Max Friedlander. Max would rather cavort with supermodel Vivica while waiting for Bitch Auntie to die and leave him her money, so he has his friend John step in to pretend to be Max. John and Mel fall in love, much to the delight or dismay of their friends, colleagues, and family members. The emails fly.
Ms Cabot's email "voice" isn't entirely sharp and witty like, say, Matt Beaumont's, but her one-liners can really hurt. The secondary cast are just perfect, from the busybody but well-meaning friend Nadine to her guy Tony the chef to John's brother Jason and Stacy, Jason's wife to the boss and the crazy colorful socialite to... oh, everyone's a class act when it comes to prime comedy. There's also Mel's mother, who sends snippets of wedding announcements and photos to Mel with alarming regularity and John's Mim who is caustic and warm all at once.
But if there is a flaw in this story, it's Mel. Mel "Slap Me Please, I'm So Precious Oh Just Smack Me Stupid" Fuller, who is tardy, pert, self-absorbed, whiny, neurotic, and clueless to the point of being usefree. Of course she loves animals, of course she loves old people, and she doesn't like men spending money on her because she's cute and precious like that. This woman is useless and she's loved for being useless. Call the Mog Ryan out of retirement, Ms Cabot's writing a customized script for that monster.
John is alright, and it is so easy to picture Hugh Jackman as that guy. But it is the secondary cast who steal the show as well as the main billings. Nadine is fun, Dolly is hysterical, Vivica is hilarious, Jason and Stacy are a riot, although their kids scare me because they know how to use the word "therapy" when they are just in second grade. In fact, by the second half of the story, I don't care whether Mel and John find love, eat their dog, or get run down by a bus, I just want those funny people to bring on the e's.
And if I may say so, John, don't believe Stacy - you will make one lousy novelist.
And Ms Cabot, er, Winona Ryder? Seriously, Winona? You're making it so easy for me to hate Mel even more than before, I almost feel insulted. A gossip columnist who believes that the actress/rock groupie Winona "Wanna Ride Her?" Ryder is some lovelorn Miss Thang must be one really lousy columnist. Move on, Ted Casablanca, meet Mel, the only one beneath you in the hierarchy when it comes to pathetic gossip-dishing.
If you're the kind of reader who just adore Meg Ryan and weep when she finally meets Tom "Triple-Chinned Milquetoast" Hanks in Sleepless In Seattle that you have watched 1,876,258,772 times with your cat in your apartment filled with precious Memory Lane figurines and matching baby booties, you will love this book so much you will read it again and again until the bindings fall apart. If not, hey, there's no harm taking a look. I find it just too funny, and I guess that's something.

If you see a distinctive pattern of cracking in your asphalt that looks like the…
The first step in parking lot maintenance is awareness and prevention.
Are tree roots damaging the asphalt? Is water deteriorating a specific area? Are trash trucks damaging the asphalt?
Asphalt, when properly maintained, is designed to last 25 to 35 years. Without proper maintenance, parking lots can be destroyed in a few years.
The best method for maintaining asphalt in Texas is to seal coat every 2-4 years. Seal coating forms a protective barrier from the weather and chemicals and locks in the moisture to stay flexible.
Asphalt allowed to dry out becomes rigid, and as it expands and contracts cracks begin to form, allowing water to penetrate to the sub base beneath it. When the base becomes washed out in an area, the already dry asphalt has no foundation to support the weight of traffic. Potholes form and the ripple effect of deterioration begins.
- Water drainage causes major damage to asphalt.
- Creating drainage patterns improves the life of a parking lot.
- Gutters from buildings to channel water, and concrete culverts offer the best prevention against water damage.
- Maintaining a rubberized seal between the culverts and asphalt with sealer or crack fill is the best defense against the damaging effects of water.
- Tree roots cause significant damage to parking lots as they grow and expand through the asphalt and curbing. Often the only solution is to expand the bed area adjacent to the tree.
- Areas near dumpsters are a constant problem area for property managers.
- The ruts are inexpensively repaired with new asphalt and road base.
- However, concrete dumpster pads offer a more rigid, solid base for the weight of the front tires on trash trucks. Concrete pads include rebar to add additional support and may actually be more cost effective over the long term.
Why Seal Coat Every 2 – 4 Years?
Your parking lot’s greatest enemy is not just the punishment from daily traffic. Heat, sunlight and moisture all negatively affect your parking lot surface. Seal Coat protects your asphalt by sealing small cracks less than an 1/8” to prevent water penetration
- Seal Coat aids in slowing pavement oxidation of the sun by blocking damaging effects of ultraviolet rays.
- Seal coat prevents oil and gas from seeping into the asphalt and causing further damage to your investment.
- This is especially important on driveways where cars are parked or worked on. Oil and gasoline soften asphalt. PaveShield sealer contains additives that resist chemicals. By filling surface voids, seal coating also reduces the depth to which oil or gas can penetrate the pavement.
- Seal coat is an inexpensive product that enhances the curb appeal of your property. A rich dark parking lot helps your property stand out and marks your company as the one that takes pride in its property.
- Cracks in the pavement enable water to penetrate the pavement, often into the sub base, weakening and reducing the pavement’s strength. Seal coating protects the surface and fills surface voids, reducing pavement’s exposure to oxygen and water and extending pavement life.
- Ultraviolet rays cause pavement to deteriorate and crumble. Regularly applied seal coat helps to prevent ultraviolet rays from penetrating the pavement
- Seal coating brings back the dark color of the pavement, making it look and wear like new.
- Seal coated pavement is also easier to clean and maintain. Because seal coat fills surface voids, a seal coated surface is much smoother. And a smoother surface is easier to sweep, wash and maintain

During this time of year, where the leaves change colours, and it gets chilly outside (at least in Canada), I tend to crave spicy autumn baked goods. Can you really go wrong with pumpkin spiced anything? I don’t think so. I tend to love spice all year round. In order to be little creative I decided to bake a very festive Pumpkin Spice Roll (similar to a Christmas yule log cake) with spiced cream cheese frosting. If you are Canadian like myself, Thanksgiving falls this weekend, and so this is the perfect dessert for those of us who are celebrating with friends and family. If not, either way you slice it, this is a beautiful moist cake that is delicious and not difficult to make. The perfect autumnal baked good to add to your repertoire. Enjoy 🙂
Ingredients for the cake:
– 3/4 cup all purpose flour
– 1 tbsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 3 eggs (whites separated from yolks)
– 1 cup of sugar, divided (1/2 + 1/2)
– 2/3 cup canned pumpkin pie puree
– 1 tbsp vanilla extract, divided
Directions for the cake:
– Preheat your oven to 375F (190C)
– Line a roughly 15 by 10 inch baking sheet with parchment paper. (Should be no more than about 1 to 3 inches in height), set aside.
– In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
– In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract on high speed until slightly thickened. Gradually add 1/2 of sugar, while continuing to mix. Once the sugar is almost dissolved, add the pumpkin pie puree until incorporated. (This should have the texture of a loose pudding). Set aside.
– In another bowl, beat the egg whites with 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract on medium speed until foamy, soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup of sugar, while increasing speed to high. Once stiffer peaks have formed, turn off the mixer and with a spatula fold this egg white mix into the pumpkin egg yolk mix. Once incorporated, gradually add the flour mix. Careful not to over mix!
– Evenly pour cake batter onto parchment lined baking sheet. This batter is slightly thick, so you will have to use your spatula (or utensil of choice) and carefully spread the batter out, so that it is even in thickness from corner to corner.
– Once your oven is ready, bake for about 13-15 minutes. When you touch the cake with your fingers, it should feel soft and springy.
– Let the cake cool for 5 minutes in the pan. While cooling place a large kitchen towel on a table top surface, sprinkled with powdered (confectioners) sugar. After the 5 minutes have passed, and the cake has slightly cooled, carefully flip the cake onto the towel. The parchment paper at this point should be facing up. Carefully remove the parchment paper. Once removed, roll the cake, with the towel, in the form of a log, as you would with the frosting inside (however at this point it is the towel inside and around the cake). Set aside to cool in log form.
– While the cake is cooling, it is time to prepare the frosting that will fill the cake.
Ingredients for the frosting:
– 1 package (250g – 8.8 oz) of room temperature cream cheese
– 1/4th cup of room temperature butter
– 2 1/2 cups powdered (confectioners) sugar
– 1 tbsp vanilla extract
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– 2 tbsp pumpkin pie puree
Directions for the frosting:
– In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar until thick and creamy. On low, add the cinnamon and pumpkin pie puree. Once everything is incorporated, add this mixture to the fridge until ready to use.
To assemble the roll:
– Carefully unroll the cake from the kitchen towel, evenly spread the cream cheese frosting over the cake, leaving about an inch or two around one of the edges. Roll the cake into the form of the log. At this point you can roll the cake in saran wrap, or foil, and then let cool in the fridge until you are ready to slice (can also freeze until ready to use). Once ready, cut into slices (should cut at least 10 slices of the cake). Enjoy!!

Now available on my Etsy site and by request, I have created these colorful stakes with my sport kiting friends in mind! Those who fly know how important it is to have a stake which is unique to their personality and easy to spot on the field! Each stake is 10 inch steel with blunted tips and a hard polymer clay handle formed entirely by hand. No two are the same! Check back frequently for new stakes to be added! Custom colors are available by request. Due to outrageous expense of international shipping these days, I regret that I can only offer these within the USA at this time. My sincere apology to my overseas friends.

Doing his job?What the fuck is wrong wiith you?!Fuck that treasonous shitbag!"Sheriff’s deputies recorded the event but did not intervene as a protester climbed a ladder amid applause and chants and slipped a yellow, bungie-like cord around the soldier’s head and arm."The Dunham city government wanted the Confederate memorial gone, but theydid not want the blistering outrage andthreat to their personal safety that would accompany being responsible for the removal.Without question, they used commie foot soldiers to do the job, allowing the Sheriffand city government to pretend they care about the rule of law. Fuck that tin badge piece of shit!One day, the Nuremberg defense will splithis sorry ass in half.cav med
I knew my comment would draw fire. ;)Durham has become a Leftist stronghold. It's a judgment call on the ground as to whether he was saving lives by standing aside in the moment. He is probably also enforcing bogus 22 and drug laws in violation of Rightful Liberty.Take the tactical win when you can - charging the Leftists with felonies is a win. Sure, the charges will probably be plead down or dismissed. But arresting and charging is a small win in a long fight.At least one thing is certain - if the Leftists riot and protest the arrest and charges, they bring down on their own heads the illegitimacy of their commie goals. That is an even bigger win.Think strategically. Sport anything tactical that advances the strategic.
That's nothing but BS.So now the police are supposedto let people riot and destroy property, because of "the potentialrisk of injury to the public and officersshould deputies attempt to control the crowd."All of this circles back to the incontestablefact, that the rule of law and equality of justice is long dead in America.I gurantee you, the Durham Sheriff wasacting on orders not to intervene becausecity officals wanted the Confederatememorial gone, but they had no interest in the outrage and personal risk that wouldaccompany their actions.Without question, city officials got the job done by expertly pimping the communistsinto doing the dirty work.And now were supposed to believe thatjustice is being served because the commiewho put the rope around the statue was arrested.The Sheriff had his deputies recorded theentire event. They know the identitiesof everyone who pulled the staute down.Moreover, some people are overjoyed because the Daughters of the Confederacyare going to have the statue repaired.So what!Durham city officials are not going toallow the statue to be returned to it'soriginal location at the courthouse.Bet on it!cav med
OK, hold yer water, guys. I was close enough to put lead through a postage stamp on this one - Yes, Durham City is a traitorous bunch of leftist scum. But it wasn't the Sheriff's department which stood down and watched as the monument was destroyed - it was the Durham City PD. The municipal PD's claim of no-responsibility was that the monument was the responsibility of the Sheriff's department - public monuments and burial plots are the responsibility of the County under NC Law - so the PD claimed that the memorial statue which was destroyed was not their jurisdiction or responsibility. FWIW, Durham County Sheriffs Dept was short handed that night - three deputies were out: two called in sick (I've had my suspicions about one of them well before this happened - she's got one of those alternating lifestyles dontcha know), and one was shift-diffed because of mandatory training, so district 5 (downtown) had only 2 deputies that night; 1 patrol and one K9. Yes, I find that timing damn convenient...almost like it was planned for a night when the Sheriff's Dept was short handed... but accusations require proof, and none of Hillary's emails mentions Russians conspiring to tear down monument in Durham, right?And FWIW, NC Law prohibits the use of K9 units for crowd control [except by prior public notice, or in a declared state of emergency, neither of which applied in this instance]. The Sheriff wanted to arrest them then and there, but didn't have the manpower in his own department, and the Durham City PD was ordered to stand down by the shitty council... so this is the best he could do - document the incident and make arrests after the fact. There has been much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the city council because of his arrests, but there's nothing they can do.It's a Blue City/Red County scenario -we have lots of that here.But the Durham Sheriff has already made it clear - to his deputies, to the city council, and to the people who elected him - that he won't be letting another such incident fly in his AO. From what I hear he's reviewing the extent of *his* power to declare a "state of emergency", and the exact extent of the power he can exercise to quell a riot under such authority, without the City's help - such as calling neighboring Sheriff's departments for backup, instead of the municipal PD. Sure, he should have brushed up on all that 'Rule of Law' and 'Maintaining Order' stuff the day after he was elected...but better late than never.OK, I'm through now.
Thanks for the insights, LT.
Respectfully, I don't believe any of thediarrhetic shit flowing from his mouth, any police state mouthpiece, andthose of the treasonous Uniparty.Morover, the Herald Sun "journalist" who wrote the article personally interviewed the Sheriff(on site) after the commie attack.She personally viewed deputies recording the monuments destruction.For the sake of discussion, let's say therewas only the Sheriff and two deputies.It does not take more than one to recorda decent video these days, especially if an iPhone or other modern mobile deviceis used.Regardless of who had tactical and law enforcement seniority on site, both the Sheriff's department, local PD, and Durhamelected officals are all equally cupable, worthless and guilty. Moreover, if a society is actually governedby the rule of law, using the BS claim of "just following orders," as a legal defense, was most definitively decided to be nonsense by the precedent of the Nuremberg trials.The Sheriff's babbling nonsense does not wash.Period.cav med
Cav Med,I respectfully disagree. It wasn't common knowledge that they were going to tear down the monument - all that was known going in, was that there was "a march" being ginned up on the NCCU campus, and that they were heading downtown to make a stink about the events in Charlottesville. This is normal crap for the Durham commies/NCCU crew - they do "a march", get on the local news, and earn their field credits for "community involvement" - happens way too frequently, but it is what it is. It's rare that anything gets damaged, let alone destroyed. And the Durham PD *never* arrests anybody, or otherwise intervenes so long as no one gets hurt. There's a de-facto pact between the city and NCCU that these so-called "students" can do this crap as part of their "education". And as I said - it's rare that they do anything more than minor damage. So I don't think anyone (except those on the "march" planning committee) knew that this time was going to be any different.Further, two deputies vs. nearly a hundred "protesters", with no backup coming because Durham PD was ordered (as usual) to stand down and let it happen, was a bad formula once the direction of events became obvious. The Sheriff didn't get there until the party was over, and when he did arrive there was a lot of smoke and thunder off to the side between him and the PD Shift Commander about why the PD refused to back his guys up when things got 'real'.Take it as you will, but never forget that most of the pertinent facts will never be published by "the media". Like I said, there's a lot of Blue City/Red County difficulties hereabouts. It's our burden.
Having no knowledge of their intent beforehand is irrelevant.The commies arrived and they spenttime setting up shop, extending a ladder,Janey 'bag of doughnuts' lumbering tothe top and placing a tow rope over thestatue, clearly demonstrated what wasgoing to happen beforehand.And if was not demonstrative enough, oncepeople started pulling the rope, any law enforcement present unable to overcometheir police state corruption and uphold therule of law and their oath should have gut-checked themselves, cleared leather, and defended that memorial dedicated to our honored war dead, to the degree necessary.cav med
My pleasure, K. And FWIW, pay attention any time you hear "NC Central University" mentioned in the news. It is at least as hardcore commie as 'Evergreen State College' in Olympia, WA, and almost as big - over 8,000 students each semester at this 'Commie U' in downtown Durham. Nothing good comes outta that place. Nothing.
Smart Patriots will eat popcorn (with a wily eye on everything) as these idiots all bang heads. Let them thin the field. 'NONE' of the people on these fields of 'Statue Wars' are friends of Liberty. But they can be our Useful Idiots...

The Domaine of Villarceaux is a French château, water garden and park located in the commune of Chaussy. The gardens are located on the site of a medieval castle from the 11th century, built to protect France from the British, who at that time occupied Normandy, the neighboring province. Many vestiges of the medieval fortifications remain in the park. A manor house and French water garden was built there in the 17th century. In the 18th century a château in the style of Louis XV was built on a rocky hill overlooking the water garden.
One famous resident in the 17th century was Ninon de Lenclos, the author, courtesan, and patron of the arts. Another was Françoise d'Aubigné, the future Madame de Maintenon and future wife of King Louis XIV, who lived there after the death of her first husband, the poet Paul Scarron, at the invitation of her friends the Montchevreuil, cousins of the Marquis of Villarceaux. The Marquis fell in love with her, and commissioned a full-length portrait of her, nude, which greatly embarrassed her. The portrait can be seen today in the dining room of the house. The house also contains a collection of 18th-century furniture.
The domaine is part of the regional park of Vexin, and is used for concerts and cultural events. The gardens are classified among the Notable Gardens of France.
The gardens contain a rare 18th-century ornamental feature called a vertugadin, modelled after the hoop skirts of the 18th century, surrounded by statues brought from Italy.References:
The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the main sights of St. Petersburg. The church was built on the site where Tsar Alexander II was assassinated and was dedicated in his memory. Construction began in 1883 under Alexander III, as a memorial to his father, Alexander II. Work progressed slowly and was finally completed during the reign of Nicholas II in 1907. Funding was provided by the Imperial family with the support of many private donors.
Architecturally, the Cathedral differs from St. Petersburg's other structures. The city's architecture is predominantly Baroque and Neoclassical, but the Savior on Blood harks back to medieval Russian architecture in the spirit of romantic nationalism. It intentionally resembles the 17th-century Yaroslavl churches and the celebrated St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.
The Church contains over 7500 square metres of mosaics — according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world. The interior was designed by some of the most celebrated Russian artists of the day — including Viktor Vasnetsov, Mikhail Nesterov and Mikhail Vrubel — but the church's chief architect, Alfred Alexandrovich Parland, was relatively little-known (born in St. Petersburg in 1842 in a Baltic-German Lutheran family). Perhaps not surprisingly, the Church's construction ran well over budget, having been estimated at 3.6 million roubles but ending up costing over 4.6 million. The walls and ceilings inside the Church are completely covered in intricately detailed mosaics — the main pictures being biblical scenes or figures — but with very fine patterned borders setting off each picture.
In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, the church was ransacked and looted, badly damaging its interior. The Soviet government closed the church in the early 1930s. During the Second World War when many people were starving due to the Siege of Leningrad by Nazi German military forces, the church was used as a temporary morgue for those who died in combat and from starvation and illness. The church suffered significant damage. After the war, it was used as a warehouse for vegetables, leading to the sardonic name of Saviour on Potatoes.
In July 1970, management of the Church passed to Saint Isaac's Cathedral (then used as a highly profitable museum) and proceeds from the Cathedral were funneled back into restoring the Church. It was reopened in August 1997, after 27 years of restoration, but has not been reconsecrated and does not function as a full-time place of worship; it is a Museum of Mosaics. Even before the Revolution it never functioned as a public place of worship; having been dedicated exclusively to the memory of the assassinated tsar, the only services were panikhidas (memorial services). The Church is now one of the main tourist attractions in St. Petersburg.

Sea Ray Introduces Game-Changing Wake Surfing Boat
Consider the game changed: Sea Ray introduces the brand-new SLX-W 230, a luxury wake sports boat powered by a Mercury Marine V-Drive propulsion system that’s rewriting all the rules. The new SLX-W combines remarkable wake-shaping capabilities with thoughtful amenities for all-day coving and comfortable cruising.
“This is the ideal boat for active families seeking to maximize their time on the water,” said Brad Anderson, Sea Ray president of sport boats and sport cruisers. “We started with Sea Ray’s unique dedication to Orchestrated Excellence, then added a thrilling new wake surfing technology design to achieve the perfect boat for wake sports, coving and cruising. The SLX-W delivers pure enjoyment with nothing sacrificed and we’re calling it -Orchestrated Adventure.”
True to its SLX name, and unlike traditional tow boats, the SLX-W 230 features a deep-V hull design, joystick piloting capability, a submersible swim step, Dynamic Display™, standard watersports tower and premium fit and finish.
The SLX-W features Sea Ray’s precision-engineered, deep-V wake-hull design — honed during hundreds of hours of development and testing, and comes standard with Dynamic Running Surface™ for an incredibly smooth ride and predictable handling.
At the helm, advanced technology, including Dynamic Display™, provides easy viewing for the captain and intuitive command of wake sports functions. Pre-sets for wakeboarding and surfing fill the 2,000 pounds of ballast to the appropriate level and set the underwater gear for the perfect wave. What’s more, the ballast system is entirely contained within the hull, a sophisticated solution that doesn’t consume valuable storage space.
The SLX-W 230 offers a fully integrated joystick control that utilizes the engine and thrusters to make maneuverability of the boat much easier and more intuitive than ever before. “During the research phase of this project, customers were very clear about how difficult it was to maneuver traditional tow boats in close quarters such as around docks or when picking up surfers,” Anderson said. “Working with Mercury Marine, we’re introducing a wake sports boat that makes it easy to dock in any condition and spin on a dime to pick-up a fallen surfer more quickly.”
The cockpit is spacious and inviting, with a reversible companion helm seat and U-shaped seating, perfect for spending time with friends & family or keeping an eye on the surfer behind the boat. Attention to detail is unwavering; luxury elements include modern contrast-stitch upholstery and soft-touch surfaces. Intuitive storage placement throughout the boat, including transom trunk storage for boards, is designed to accommodate loads of personal belongings and gear.
A functional and stylish forward-folding tower can be paired with board racks and optional tower speakers. Aft, a wide, center walk-through transom makes the water accessible for everyone. Paired with an optional submersible swim step, it’s easier than ever to get in and out of the water for enthusiasts of all ages.
“With its incredible versatility, superior fit and finish, unprecedented wake technology and easy maneuverability - courtesy of Mercury’s joystick piloting technology - the SLX-W fulfills a bold new vision for wake sports capability,” said Anderson. “The wave of the future is here.”
The official World Premiere of the SLX-W 230 will be at the Atlanta Boat Show, January 12-15, 2017, with additional appearances throughout the 2017 boat show season. For more information and to view the Sea Ray lineup, visit searay.com.


Wheata (formerly known as Rita at VRRA) was rescued from a parking lot with a big abess on her back. She was adopted into my life Nov. 2010 and unexpectily became ill and passed away in Februbary 2013 I write this in her memory...
Many would have overlooked that big plain brown bunny sitting in her cage at the shelter but for me it was love at first sight, she was definitely one of a kind.
She had big beautiful upright ears and her personality charmed me. Though she was obviously abondoned, it didn't seem to deter her trust in people. She was easy going, letting any stranger stick their hand into her space, and then glady received a pat or an behind the ear scritch. Early on I relized she wasn't just any ordinary bunny, she was smart and independent, yet loved people. She learned multiple verbal commands such as "hop up", "turn around" and "give a kiss" - she would jump through hoops, and pick up a wicker ball and give it to me.
She was a dignified, Cleopatra of a rabbit, keeping her territory well surveyed; and kept the status easily by coming and nudging her nose under your hand for a 40 minute head rub while you watched TV.
Outside the home she showed her other great side - she was a performer. She traveled well and became a perfect avocate of what it was to be a house rabbit. We performed at the annual rabbit festival together doing tricks and when the Vancouver Rabbit Agility Club was formed she quickly became a star. Her talent was focused and she was one of its highest jumpers. I would take her out with her harness and leash and people would always comment "oh she's so big", and "wow, so beautiful" and she would meet every stranger, from the age of one to adult, with the same acceptance.
She leaves me with a greater understanding of rabbits that I will continue to share; showing people how great house rabbits can be. Wheata, thanks for the memories.

Both Mr. N and Miss A have summer birthdays. So this year, since we’re in the new house, we decided to get them a swing set for their birthdays. We purchased a beautiful set at a very reasonable price, the catch – we have to build it ourselves. This is no easy feat as you can imagine. There are literally dozens of pieces of wood and hundreds of screws, and nothing is labeled.
So since we’re raising the swing set and our state this week was Pennsylvania, we decided to whip up a few Amish dishes to get in the spirit of things. We started early yesterday morning with an Amish Stuffed French Toast.
Then we added the remaining bread over the top. Finally in a bowl we mixed together eggs, milk, vanilla and maple syrup. We poured this over the top layer of bread, followed by a bit of melted butter and cinnamon. The French toast was then refrigerated overnight and baked for 50 minutes at 350F in the morning.
Miss A rated it the lowest with 1 spoon. She barely ate any. Dad and I both gave the French toast 2 spoons. It was okay, but we think would have been better with white bread instead of wheat. And Mr. N seemed to enjoy it the most and gave it 3 spoons. He ate it for breakfast, dinner and again the next morning for breakfast.
after a 12 hour day and having to wait out some rain showers (water and power tools don’t mix), it’s coming along. Here’s hoping tomorrow will be the final day for the “barn raising.”

I have to say this has been one of the cloudiest springs in recent memory. That’s not to say it actually is the cloudiest – it could be in fact that my memory has selective recall. That’s been known to happen on occasion. Nevertheless it’s cloudy again. We made these quick, healthy breakfast treats earlier this week, but they would be the perfect way to brighten up a cloudy morning. The recipe is adapted from one we came across in the Taste of Home Comfort Food, Diet Cookbook. It’s also a great way to use up some of the leftover phyllo from the baklawa. (I bought several packages just-in-case my attempt at the recipe went horribly array.)
Tonight the kids and I whipped up the third banana bread recipe for our quest. This particular version is adapted from Martha Stewart’s banana bread and was sent to me by an old high school friend. Thanks Liz! The major differences in this recipe compared to the first two are that it uses only white sugar and replaces the oil with sour cream. Until now, I had never seen a banana bread recipe with sour cream, so I was intrigued.
This meal was all ChefDad, so he’ll share this one in his own words. :)
Today we head to Pennsylvania for Philly Cheesesteaks, and if Ribbie and Roobarb merit a spot on this blog, surely we can find room for a true legend among mascots–the Philly Phanatic. I’ve had a taste for a Philly Cheesesteak for the last couple of weeks, though I confess to limited experience with them. We did order cheesesteaks at the old Veteran’s Stadium back in 2003, though I suspect mom was too busy taking pictures of Kyle Farnsworth to pay much attention to her meal.
The internet’s not much help for cheesesteak recipes–it seems there is no universal formula beyond thinly sliced beef, cheese and bread. Nevertheless I felt confident as I began this undertaking, as mom said to Mr. N, “He’s been to Philadelphia once and he thinks he knows how to make cheesesteaks.” Yes I did. We settled on a set of toppings–onions, green peppers, and mushrooms. Continue reading
Ever since last month when Dawn over at First Look, Then Cook posted her recipe for baklava, it’s been on my mind. I instantly thought of an ice wine we have that would match this dessert perfectly. Not to mention I’ve never worked with phyllo before and it sounded like a challenge I needed to tackle. So when we were looking for Egyptian desserts and came across the recipe for Baklawa, the Egyptian version of the dessert, I knew it was time to get to work.
The main differences between Greek baklava and Egyptian baklawa are that the Greek version uses honey in the syrup and almonds in the pastry. The Egyptian form of the dessert uses sugar and orange blossom in the syrup and omits the almonds. Either way, the dessert sounds intriguing to me and dad, and one that we thought even Mr. N and Miss A would enjoy.
Miss A helped me out early in the process. She was very excited to see the mallet coming out again and was eager to crush the walnuts. Continue reading


Regular tests and quizzes may seem easy to your children, but come time for yearly standardized testing, they may not do so hot. These exams often come with a lot of pressure, and that can make it much more anxiety-inducing for kids. You can help your children improve their standardized testing scores with these three tips:
1. Keep track of their regular grades
Most standardized test scores do not affect regular grading. However, the exams usually cover all material that your kids have learned throughout the year. Make sure to pay attention to how your children are doing in school. If you note their grades are slipping, talk with them about what they don't understand. They may need extra time with the teacher to fully understand a new topic or concept, or require other types of assistance.
2. Make sure they do their homework
All the daily homework and projects that your kids receive have a greater goal of preparing them for the exams. Always check that your children have done their homework and study for tests. This could help them earn better regular grades and improve exam scores.
3. Have your kids complete practice tests
There are many practice tests available for various forms of standardized exams. Some schools even have their students do these pretend tests to help everyone prepare. Students may feel more ready for the exams if they've seen practice versions and tried their hand at a few answers. You can also have your children do practice tests at home so you can see how they are doing and offer helpful suggestions.


Pakistan’s T20 skipper Shahid Afridi is under considerate amount of pressure these days due to the significant fall in performance of Pakistan cricket team which is why his own performance and captaincy is under scrutiny.
While talking to media after their consolation win against Sri Lanka in Asia Cup Shahid Afridi said that they have a nice bunch of players but it’s the self belief that is lacking so that area of the game needs to be worked upon if they are to succeed in the upcoming mega event.
The skipper added that Pakistan he will not back out of this job that easily and he has full confidence in the boys and their ability to deliver for their side.
Pakistan made three changes for their match against Sri Lanka, as it was a dead rubber, and Afridi was content to see that every player got their chance ahead of the World T20 as it will help in forming a proper balanced team for their World T20 challenge.
It’s crystal clear that Afridi is geared up for the World T20 and he has full confidence in the squad that he has currently. Although a couple of changes might be made as sources have indicated that Ahmed Shehzad will be a part of the squad in the place of Khurram Manzoor as the opener went through a dismal run of form during the Asia Cup. Part of the infamous spot fixing scandal Salman Butt is also being considered for the T20 spot but the official announcement is yet to come.
The Pakistan team will up against some top quality sides in the World T20 because the likes of India, Australia and New Zealand are in their group. It is also expected that the Bangladeshi side will also join them in group 2 after their come through the qualifying round. In order to successfully compete against these side Pakistan need to fine tune every area of their game because the margin of error is quite less.
