I have a few finally's for you all... First, I finally loaded all of my music onto my Christmas present beautiful video IPod. And it is 1000 times better and more awesome than my old hand-me-down chunker IPod. I love the pretty screen. I love the long battery (two hours of use and no noticeable battery change - still f...
Insomniacs know what it's like to spend hours by themselves. The experiences that come with the can't-sleep disease — fighting consciousness at 1am, staring into darkness at 2am, skulking around the house at 3am — amount to forced, late-night solitude. Many people, from Shakespeare to Heath Ledger to tweens with Tumblr...
Potter County Commissioners are forming a committee to look into designating polling places as voting centers. The move would allow voters to vote at any official polling place in the county.  Currently voters are assigned a polling place and must vote there.  The idea comes from a 2005 Texas state bill that approved c...
On Friday we went to an urban site. The morning was enlivened by a public address system, which sprang into life to chastise a particular dog walker who wasn't using plastic bags in a public park, but was hiding his dog's waste under some shrubbery. The 3 gull species were differentiated & immature plumage was compared...
So, I have been pretty busy since I first got the idea, and started sketching out particulars, for the "City States of Aquaria" game. Here is a rundown of my progress. I even got some materials to make playtest counters and a map, but then things got REALLY busy in my real life, so it is creeping along. The environment...
Tonight is the second night of , when seven principles are celebrated, one for each night of this African-American holiday. I am lighting a candle for each night of Kwanzaa and reflecting on each principle and how I can incorporate it into my life in 2011. The second principle is Self-Determination (Kujichagulia)... Ku...
Crunchy, cake-like orange-flavoured biscuits, dipped in a honey syrup then rolled in walnuts. A traditional Greek biscuit served at Christmastime and the perfect addition to your holiday baking spread. Let me preface this post by saying: I’m not Greek, I don’t have Greek heritage and I’ve only visited Greece once as a ...
It was about time that i made a start on the character properly and i made a start using Z-Brush. I have decided to start with the Torso and make a start creating the panels. The kind of look that i was aiming for was like out of Gears of War. I really like the way the characters armour was built up in this game and it...
I thought I would share our wonderful snow we have here where I live. As beautiful as it is…..Spring can come anytime soon. But by looking at all this snow, I doubt it will come anytime soon. I think we usually get Spring at the end of May….for sure June ;) I am not sure if anyone not living here believes me when I say...
Because this little quesadilla is a perfect portion for one, and is equally delicious warm or cold, it makes a great portable lunch for work. Simply double or quadruple the quantities as desired to serve more people. Use any vegan mozzarella in this recipe - the one from Galaxy Foods or Vegan Gourmet are both great - o...
Even though it's definitely not a big, dramatic story, one of my family's most-mentioned vacation memories is from our first trip to Prince Edward Island, when my sister and I were both in elementary school. My dad found out about a lobster supper going on at a nearby church, so we all went for dinner one night. He was...
It was such a pleasure to sink one's hands into the warm earth, to feel at one's fingertips the possibilities of the new season. ~ Kate Morton, The Forgotten Garden Back in January, I began the One Page a Day Challenge and immediately threw away my quill. Now in April, I’m participating in the A to Z Blogging Challenge...
Have you ever seen this diagram before? Here we have represented what most people consider the ultimate college dilemma. Personally, I would substitute "partying" with simply "social life", but you get the picture. The thing is, I WISH it were that simple . Two of three... that's not bad. But when you are a collegiate ...
In a game that meant nothing for the Dallas Cowboys, they decided it was best for the team to rest most of the starters against the Philadelphia Eagles. The final score was 27-13 in favor of the Eagles. It was definitely not the most entraining game of the season, but it was a big rivalry game and it would have been ni...
Many times over the past decade I've seen a young player come into the Thunderbirds organization and thought to myself, that guy has a chance to be something special. It doesn't always work out that way though. For whatever reason some players never realize their full potential or they plateau at 17. A few years back w...
Hi friends. It's time for this week's challenge at , where this week's optional challenge, in addition to making a holiday or Christmas card is to use twine.

It seems as though it has been so long since my last trip to Macau, when actually it was just about 6 weeks. I love Macau, and 6 weeks away from it seems like a lifetime.

When my friend said he had two free tickets to go see Two Door Cinema Club, I jumped at the chance. The show was at Webster Hall, one of the big old venues in the Village. I'd spent half my summer listening to their album, and had no expectation of actually getting to see them perform live. The concert was fantastic. T...

So much is going on right now! My to-do list is getting longer by the day, mostly because I would rather go to the park with Ruby than get anything done. This will become a problem very soon. Ruby went to her friend Parker's 2nd birthday party today - and I was the mom at McDonalds who took her daughter's shirt off bef...
I figured that cooking lobsters was about as difficult as cooking corn. Boil water, add food product, allow to cook, drench with butter, eat. Turns out, not so much. I had truly underestimated the amount of work that goes into a lobster dinner. Be prepared; have back up, plenty of wine and a sense of humor. I hosted th...

Apologies for not posting yesterday. The second day of the road trip (Tuesday) wasn't as much fun as the first and due to traffic, we got to Des Moines much later than we'd planned.

The last time I spoke at Sparkbrook Elim was when Pastor JJ Morgan was the minister. I was a teenager, and he had invited me to give my testimony. Fifty years later I was a speaker, together with Nigel Tween, at a convention weekend entitled, "Embracing the Holy Spirit" The church has gone through some difficult times ...
I did Catherine and Josh's engagement portraits almost two years ago. They've had a long engagement because of Josh's career. Catherine has done a lot with her engagement pictures, for instance she had ten of them made into 8x10's and displayed them at her engagement party. There was a contest where guests wrote their ...

When the end of the world comes, the lawn will stretch out forever, the green, beautiful to see. the trees, never drop a leaf. A few weeks ago, I cleaned out my office and sifted through mountains of old scraps and notes, searching for anything that might be useful. The above is something I found on one and thought was...
A friend suggested coffee mugs, so I've been messin' about with them for a while. Of the approximately 7 or 8 I've done, 2 or 3 sold back when I had an active eBay Store, and since maybe only one of them do I find interesting. That one is this one. I like the "graphic" look, totally accidental as it is was/is. The blac...
Yesterday was a little bit better kid wise--except I made a classic parenting mistake and did not actually check the homework progress before I agreed to let them have a friend over. When I did check I discovered that "a few problems" to them means 13 of the 20 were still left to do. Sigh. So I didn't have whining and ...
There’s just no stopping Sebastien Loeb.

That gives him his eighth Rally Argentina...

Clear your weapon here: Although this sand-filled clearing barrel can stop an errant bullet, your weapon should be free of ammunition before you put the muzzle in and pull the trigger.

Yes, the floor is done. It is exactly what I wanted. And we did a good job too. For something that he is not comfortable with, he did great. There was a rough spot when we had to cut the tile for the drain hole. UGH. We had the wet cutter, chippers, a special blade in a hack saw - you name it and he tried it. But event...
I finished the second of a collection of chuppahs I'm making as an Artist-in-Residence at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute, at Brandeis University. It measures 4' x 8'.

No recipe today. I ate leftovers. You DON'T want to know how to make leftovers, do you? However, I made some progress on my quilting project. First, I solved the lack of extra swirly-creamy fabric for side #4 of my squares by eeking out the tiny bit of swirly-creamy fabric I DID have combined with the plain mocha fabri...

Where to throw the life line? Let me to state the obvious: being saved requires one who saves. An extension of this thought concerns the apparent need to be saved. Only someone who believes they are lost need concern him or herself with finding their way. A fool is someone who is not lost but isn’t, yet remains convinc...
I took these pictures of the kids at the pool, and thought they were too cute to not post them. Logan is so funny, and has become a really great swimmer.

My friend Courtney and I decided to spend part of our Saturday night at an international bath, sauna, and spa in SF. We lounged in steam saunas where the steam was so thick we could barely see our hands in front of our face, dry hot saunas well over 100 with eucalyptus branches to flog/brush your skin, and then I alter...
Between the two of us, we got Michelle's house looking good in about 4 hours, but it took until 3 am to get all the wash done.

After three days of travel I have made it to Pokhara. Whew...its good to finally be here. My 12 hour wait in the Delhi airport was one of the most painful waits of my entire life.

Over a thousand years ago, native Americans lived in dispersed homesteads and hamlets across the southwestern United States, in what is now northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado.

What If Bush Was Right… OK, the title is a bit misleading, cause the fact is, this post is not about my opinion on who George Bush is. But, this post is about your thoughts on an interesting article written as an editorial by the Washington Post today. The post is a pretty liberal source, and for them to write this eit...
Candid Engineer in Academia wrote about using a separation funnel to part organic and aqueous phases in solvent extration. I remember doing this in lab.

Doesn't Blaine look thrilled? I'm sure he is on the inside! We were dining at Janssen's Lakefront Restaurant. They have some of the best food anywhere! We went with my sister, Tanya.

Since I started this blog I've wanted to give a negative review. Not because I'm a bad person (I am), or because I really want to tear something apart (I do), but because I wanted to show a range of scores in my early posts. Every game I've posted about so far might not be my favorite game, but each game is something t...
Yes, and I am as surprised as this kitten about that. When it comes to family research some people just won't share. You note it in that their trees are private and they won't respond to your inquiries. They want you to go it on your own. I understand the emotion, especially if it took a lot of effort and time to perso...

However realistic and rational you may be, no matter how much one may laugh off the emotions during festivals; it is impossible to not fall prey to the festive spirit. I might be considered a toned down version of the 'humbug' muttering, Christmas hating Scrooge. As Diwali approached, I could not help feeling disgusted...
This week’s lesson was about roasting and grilling. For roasting, we made roasted pumpkin, potato and chicken leg.

My personal mottoes change fairly often--but this summer my motto has been the one you see here---I made this sign for the kitchen after on particularly hectic day.

I'm here! I've taken the time to write, just not post. God has spoken to me on so many levels. My girl is busy doing Lacrosse. That meant getting up early everyday for the past two weeks. Totally worth it. The summer bible study is a huge success. Ok, so I only have two under my belt, but I know God is doing major thin...
One thing I really LOVE is spending time on a "date" with my husband. We had a "date day" today and it was sweet. We ate breakfast at an old place we used to LOVE many years ago (still delicious!) We went walking around downtown Glendale to visit the antique shops. We had a LOVELY day together sans kids. P.S.-As a toke...
I'm about to go to bed, but I wanted to share the drawing I did for my dad for Father's Day. I had no idea what to get/make for him until my fiancé gave me the idea to draw him something from Lord of the Rings (or maybe Josh gave me the drawing idea and I jumped to LotR? I can't remember; I'm tired). My dad is a big Lo...
I've been craving cupcakes for some time now. I made them happen today. I'm also attempting to clear out my pantry of baking mixes. I'm moving on people. I'm baking from scratch again. It feels good and I've gained some confidence. Gluten free flours shouldn't be scary. I put them in cute containers, so I'm not afraid ...
I am not a basketball fan, and I don't follow March Madness, but the title seems somehow appropriate to describe the past week or two.

‘Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile,’ that’s what they say isn’t it? Or rather sang, those First World War soldiers off to the front. It’s what I’ve been doing all my life really. Of course I’m not likening my life to the horrors those men must have experienced, but into each of our lives...

I have this light bulb, a mini-spot I think it is, with different kind of electrical connections (a "g" something or other I think) - it's been sitting on my desk and I've always thought it looks like the old Gemini spacecraft. Out of time and ideas tonight, I thought I'd shoot it. One strobe directly overhead thru DIY...
A star cluster is different from a stellar nursery, as was pictured in yesterday's JSVB post. However, they are related. The mature masses in a star cluster have stayed aggregated, either because of mutual gravitational attraction, or simply because the cluster is too young to have drifted apart. I've illustrated a ser...

After the service part we had a party. But no...
