Beauty has become a house slave at La Domaine. With over a dozen published cookbooks, she still finds time to come to La Domaine 2-4 times a month to cook, clean and serve Miss Couple and Master R. I caught up with her before her first session as a submissive. She was preparing rhubarb crisp with honey ice cream for Miss Couple.
Beauty showed me to a five-gallon-bucket full of rhubarb that she had gathered from her friends' garden on her way to La Domaine. I don't know what anyone would do with that much rhubarb, but Beauty certainly had a few ideas. She told me that she had brought extra rhubarb for me to use as props and coyly offered up suggestions for their use. While the rhubarb crisp was in the oven, Miss Couple came outside with us and taught me how to properly insert a rhubarb stalk into a slave.
*This is one instance where you should NOT eat the whole plant for reasons other than where it has just been. The stalks are tart and sweet when cooked, however the giant leaves contain oxalic acid and are poisonous for human consumption. Because trace amounts of the corrosive acid are found in the stalk as well, we put a protective glove on the stalk for insertion. Safety first, as my father always says.
Strawberry Rhubarb Pecan Crisp with Honey Vanilla Ice Cream
The recipes can be used separately, but served together the sum is greater than the parts, especially when the crisp is warm and the ice cream melts into the fruit. Make the ice cream base the night before and make sure it is well chilled before processing in your ice cream machine (you do need an ice cream machine). The crisp is best served the day it is made.
Strawberry Rhubarb Pecan Crisp
Serves: 6
Crisp Topping:
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅔ cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 1½ pounds rhubarb, stalks trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- (about 3 cups)
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled, and halved, if large
- 1/2 cup sugar
- For the Crisp Topping: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Have a 9-inch pie plate or other shallow baking dish handy. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown and white sugars and cinnamon. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture forms large crumbs. Toss in the pecans; set aside.
- For the Fruit: In a mixing bowl, combine the rhubarb, strawberries and sugar. Scrape mixture into the pie plate. Scatter the topping evenly over the fruit.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the crisp topping is golden brown. Cool briefly. Serve warm, topped with ice cream, if you like.
Honey Vanilla Ice Cream
- Makes about 5 cups
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whisk together egg yolks and honey in a medium-sized, heat-proof bowl.
- Combine the milk and cream in a medium-sized, heavy- bottomed, non-reactive saucepan and heat till just under a boil.
- Slowly add a little bit to the egg mixture, whisking all the while, to temper the eggs. Add remaining liquid, stirring until smooth.
- Return mixture to saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until custard has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Strain through a fine strainer. Cool almost to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Transfer to storage container and refrigerate 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Pour into ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions. Freeze in airtight container and eat preferably within 4 days, after which the texture suffers a bit. When it is first churned it is like an extra-stiff soft-serve and is particularly luscious.

Dr. Ahdoot describes if pregnancy complications occur more often in older women than in younger women.
Dr. Ahdoot:
Of course their risk increases. Again, because an increase in medical problems, but it is an individual question because there are women who are in much better shape in their 30s than they were in their 20s. So one thing we always recommend is good health, good preventative measures, and exercise is always one of the top things you recommend prior to pregnancy.
For women who are advanced maternal age, in other words, over the age of 35, we do have pre-gestational counseling and diagnoses. For those who may carry genetic abnormalities in their family, we do also have a lot of new exciting genetic methods of diagnosis that they can benefit from by counseling.
About Dr. David Ahdoot, M.D.:
David Ahdoot specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California. He attended medical school at the University of California San Diego Medical Center. Later he went on to do his internship and residency at the University of California Irvine Medical Center.

Honor your hero with thoughts, memories, images and stories.
"Uncle Eddie" was barely out of high school when he entered the US Army during WWII. He was nineteen when he died during the brutal battles in Anzio, Italy in May 1944. He is interred in the Rome Sicily American Cemetery in Nettuno, Italy. I visited there for the 70th anniversary of the battle and participated in the Memorial Day Ceremonies. Beautiful!

ANSI Standard
ANSI (American National Standards Institute) A022
This pump standard evolved from the American Voluntary Standard (AVS) that was first proposed by the Manufacturing Chemists Association in the late nineteen fifties and adopted in 1963.
It is a set of standards that describes the envelope dimensions of a back pull out, centrifugal pump.
In recent years there is talk about combining the ANSI standard with the API (American Petroleum Institute) standard to make one overall US standard.

text: "On Wednesday the Lions experimented with building Christmas Trees using baking soda, water, glitter, and food coloring. Once we decorated the trees with glittering ornaments the fun really began. Several bottles of pure white vinegar were passed out for the children to pour over their tree. As the trees bubbled and melted away we talked about the chemical reaction taking place. Because there were not quite enough bottles to go around the children also practiced taking turns, politely asking to share, and waiting. Overall, it was an exciting and messy way to explore our world and celebrate Christmas." – Miss Gwyn

Levenhuk Monaco ED 8x32 Binoculars
Levenhuk Monaco ED 8x32 Binoculars feature up-to-date roof prisms that are impervious to extreme observations conditions. They are small and lightweight, and very useful on a camping trip, as these binoculars do not burden you or take up much space in a backpack. Levenhuk Monaco ED 8x32 features a stylish design. They are appreciated for their exceptional optical capabilities and easy maintenance. These binoculars are a true treasure for those who enjoy fishing, hunting, or traveling.
The main feature of these binoculars is their extra-low dispersion optics. All of the optical elements are made of special ED glass that reduces optical aberrations and makes the delivered image detailed and sharp. The lenses feature multiple layers of anti-reflective coating that make the image brighter in harsh observation conditions (low cloud cover, twilight) and it reduces glare. The improved design of five-element eyepieces allows for performing detailed observations and studying the world with natural color rendering. Levenhuk Monaco ED 8x32 features extra class optical capabilities.
You need to be completely confident that the optics are safe in any situation. Then you can use these optics to the fullest. The lenses and prisms in Levenhuk Monaco ED 8x32 come in a shock-proof plastic body that is protected with a water-resistant non-slip coating. These binoculars are impervious to rain, snow, mud, and dust. They survive falling in the water as their design withstands short immersions into water no deeper than 1.5m (5ft). The body is filled with nitrogen, a harmless transparent gas that prevents the lenses from fogging during abrupt temperature changes. You can go out of a warm room outside on a frosty day and start observing with Levenhuk Monaco ED 8x32. The optics will transmit a sharp and clear image.
These binoculars also feature all the classical setups: diopter adjustment on the right eyepiece, interpupillary distance adjustment, useful central focusing adjustment. The binoculars are adaptable to a tripod (purchased separately). Due to long eye relief, Levenhuk Monaco ED 8x32 are useful for observing while wearing glasses.
- Small and lightweight wide-field binoculars
- Roof prisms, coated optical elements made of extra-low dispersion ED glass
- Five-element eyepieces with a 28mm diameter
- Lenses are protected from fogging and water penetration if you plunge the binoculars in the water up to 1.5m (5ft) deep
- Large focusing wheel with an embossed surface
- Nitrogen-filled body with a non-slip coating

Your shopping cart is empty!
Our task today is to see Nike for Cristiano Ronaldo launched the fifth chapter exclusive signature boots: Cut to Brilliance!
The theme of this chapter is "Cut to Brilliance" can be seen as before "Natural Diamond" series sequel, one of the sequels to the CR7 signature series Chapter 5 Madeira Island out of the juvenile is like huge potential of the original drill, after experiencing the grinding carved, the final shiny dazzling diamond.
As the chief spokesperson of the assassin series, before the assassin did not replace, C Ronaldo exclusive nature is based on the current assassin eleven to build, high-collar shoes and streamlined shoes body has long been the most recognizable design of assassin soccer shoes.
The inside of shoe body white large CR7 logo always reminds people that this is the glory of Cristiano Ronaldo.
In order to highlight the gorgeous color light, the upper to add the color of the yarn, in order to reflect the diamond cutting design, the upper in the hot melt film also presents a different layering (matte white and transparent alternately).
The black Swoosh hook on the upper is also fit with the upper diamond cut pattern, the design is quite good.
Foot inside the back of the CR7 logo is the use of a hot bonding process, in fact, there is still diamond cutting lines.
Shoes, followed by raised the PU on the words "El Sueno Del Nino" translated as "childhood dream", and further down is C Ronaldo officially joined the Real Madrid days, the meaning of the link is "to join Real Madrid is my childhood dream ", which is commonly known as" children dream ". The bottom with a diamond cut the end of the pattern, echos this theme.
Shoes heel on the outside of the place still can see words of Mercurial, but this time in the process of Nike made a small upgrade. Before the Nike CR7 exclusive Mercurial here is hot bonding with the PU material to achieve, the overall showing a similar to the relief of the three-dimensional sense. This design is of course more prominent in the visual, but the raised font in the scratch when the risk of falling off. This time Nike learn well, on this basis, so that the font embedded in some of the upper, the font is not so strong three-dimensional, but also to some extent to avoid the font by scratching off the hidden dangers.
Compared with other brands of pure AG, Nike main push of the AG-PRO does not have any advantage, but have to say AG-PRO in the appropriate site is absolutely no fault, it is in fact limited domestic grass quality grass.But Nike has recently begun to adjust, at the level of Victory also began to re-launch AG-R, but for most people, this is far enough, looking forward to AG-R back to the top, the top is the most people's expectations.
Insole material is not much bright spot, is still the top configuration of the Ortholite, but the insole itself is relatively soft, positive anti-skid effect in general. If it is the pursuit of actual combat people suggested to replace even toe insoles, then it does not matter.
Insole with printed on top of the diamond cut pattern, is printed in the middle of CR7 and Nike Swoosh, the outermost circle is confirmed C Ronaldo the goal of the machine's terrorist efficiency, C Ronaldo is the fastest completion of the Spanish 50, 100, 150 and 250 players, but also the first time a season for all La Liga opponents have scored the goal of the players.
The weight of a single shoe is 222.3 grams (JP270), Nike has not been lightweight in the past few times the requirements of lightweight, so the weight of shoes alone is not a measure of the only standard shoes.

One of my favorite memories from childhood was watching my father light off fireworks in front of our house in San Francisco.
I didn't need the ones that made a big BOOM in the sky. I am talking about the Red Devil Safe & Sane box he would buy every year.
Those were the days.
And thankfully, they still are...in SOME places. The few places left where Americans have the freedom to light safe home fireworks on America's Birthday.
But unfortunately, there are many places in America where you are no longer allowed to light them. And the list of places keeps growing.
All it takes is an isolated brush fire or a house burning down SOMEWHERE in America for cities to go crazy with absurd bans.
People say it's a fire danger. Yep. So are cigarettes and candles. So are firepits and fireplaces. Candles cause a LOT more fires every year than fireworks. I wonder why we haven't banned CANDLES yet?!?!
I hate the sheep mentality in America today. People really don't THINK FOR THEMSELVES anymore and it doesn't help that the government at every level keeps insisting that we can't think or act on our own anymore without their help and step by step guidance.
I worked in a community that ended up banning fireworks all because of TWO MORONS who a) lit them in an area where they were ALREADY ILLEGAL and b) threw them over a fence and burned down a house.
TWO MORONS. Hundreds of thousands losing an all American tradition.
People argue that the big fireworks shows are the best, anyway.
Some ARE impressive and yes, they have a place on Independence Day. But they can't replace the fun and excitement of Safe & Sane fireworks. I actually don't remember any of the fireworks shows growing up.
But I still have vivid memories of watching those cones light up and the Cherry Blossoms spin round and round in front of our Bernal Heights home in the 70s and 80s.
And thank God, I still live in a place where my children have enjoyed them every year, too.
The tradition continues...for now...until our city becomes the next one to fall to hysteria and political correctness and blindness.
And now if you'll excuse me...I have a box of Red Devils to buy for this weekend.
Happy Birthday, America. May you remain the free country that you have always been.

Marlene Dietrich Overview:
Legendary actress, Marlene Dietrich, was born Marie Magdalene Dietrich on Dec 27, 1901 in Berlin-Sch?neberg, Germany. Dietrich died at the age of 90 on May 6, 1992 in Paris, France and was laid to rest in Berlin-Sch?neberg (Friedhof Sch?neberg III) Cemetery in Friedenau (Berlin), Berlin, Germany.
Marlene Dietrich was born Marie Magdalene Dietrich just outside of Berlin on December 27th, 1901. Her early childhood was a comfortable one, as her mother's small wealth came from her family's clock-making firm and her father was a commissioned police lieutenant. When she was seven, her father died and she was sent to the Auguste-Viktoria girls school. Although her initial discipline was the violin, she became increasingly interested in theatre and poetry as she matured. And soon after a wrist injury in the early 1920's, it became apparent that her dreams of becoming a concert violinist were not in the stars.
She found work on stage as a chorus girl, touring with Guido Thielscher's Girl-Kabarett, and other vaudeville-style engagements. A testament to her tenacity as a performer, although Dietrich failed her 1922 audition for Max Reinhardts's drama academy, she found her way onto his stage via smaller roles and as a chorus girl. By 1923, she made her film debut in The Little Napoleon. During this time she would also marry her first husband, German casting director Rudolph Sieber. Throughout the 1920's, she found steady work in Berlin and Vienna. Her work on screen also continued to flourish. She had substantial supporting roles in films such as Café Elektric (1927) and Das Schiff der verlorenen Menschen (1929). Despite her success on screen, it would be her work in musicals and revues that garnered the most attention with people flocking to see her perform in engagements such as Broadway, Es Liegt in der Luft and Zwei Krawatten. Legend has it, that one of those people was noted German director Josef von Sternberg.
In 1929, Dietrich paired with director Josef von Sternberg for the film The Blue Angel. It was the first of an important partnership. The film was a massive international success and soon von Sternberg whisked Dietrich off to Hollywood. Already having firm connections in the industry, von Sternberg immediately procured a contract with Paramount Studios for the young starlet and began work on 1930's Morocco in which Dietrich played a tuxedo wearing Cabaret singer who shares a kiss with another woman and seduces Gary Cooper. She earned her only Academy Award nomination for her performance. Dietrich would work with von Sternberg in 5 more films between 1930 and 1935, during which he helped mold her glamorous image. Much of her filmic image came from von Sternberg's use of experimental lighting techniques and filters. The two collaborated on a number of films including Dishonored, Blonde Venus, Shanghai Express and The Devil is a Woman.
Dietrich's first film without von Sternberg was Frank Borzages's 1936 Desire. The film was successful enough to allow her a hand at Romanic-comedy. Her next film, Loved a Soldier, however, never got off the ground and was abandoned several weeks into production. Her next two films, David O' Selznick's The Garden of Allah and Knight Without Armor both proved to be financial disappoints despite the 250,000 dollar-plus paycheck Dietrich received for each film. She was soon labeled box-office poison and after a lukewarm reception of her Ernst Lubitsch film Angel, Paramount bought out her contract. During this time she took an extended vacation in Europe. She soon began to receive offers from The Third Reich, promising decadent contracts and the chance to become Nazi Germany's foremost star. She declined and instead opted to become a United States' citizen in 1937.
In 1939, Dietrich returned to Hollywood to star opposite James Stewart in the light-hearted Western Destry Rides Again. Her turn as sass-talking Saloon girl Frenchie proved to be the remedy to her box-office poison - the film was a solid hit, as were her next two films, 1940's Seven Sinners and 1942's The Spoilers. During this time, Dietrich began giving more and more of her time and energy to the allied war cause. After the U.S entry into War World II following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Dietrich was one of the first Hollywood stars to raise war bonds. Between 1944 and 1945, she did two extended tours for the USO, going as far as the frontlines in Algeria, Britain, and France. Her tireless work both as morale booster and fundraiser could not be underestimated and in 1945 she was awarded the 'Medal of Freedom' by the US Government and the ÂLegion of Honour' by the French Government. She claimed these two awards to be her proudest accomplishments.
After the war, Dietrich returned to acting. Although her career would never reach the dizzying heights it had before the war, Dietrich continued to act in films of varying quality. Her first film, Follow the Boys (1944), was released to mixed reviews and films that followed, 1944's Kismet, 1946's The Upstairs Room, and 1947's The Golden Earring were met with similar fanfare. In 1948, Dietrich once again proved her worth as a Hollywood star and box office draw with Billy Wilder's Wartime romance A Foreign Affair. She paired with Hitchcock for the 1950 thriller Stage Fright and had a cameo in the Michael Anderson ensemble comedy Around the World in Eighty Days (1956). In 1957 she once again worked with Billy Wilder, starring opposite Tyrone Powers in Witness for the Prosecution. In 1958, Dietrich played a small but pivotal role in Orson Welles' film noir thriller Touch of Evil and in 1961, she played the widow of an executed German general in the courtroom drama, Judgment at Nuremberg.
During the 1950's, Dietrich returned to the stage. In December of 1953, she took to the road, performing her theatrically inspired one-woman engagement in night clubs through out the world. From Los Vegas to London, Dietrich sold out performance after performance, often renewing and extending her contract. She had transformed her image, once again, this time into the essence of sensation and glamour. With the use of body-shaping undergarments, make-up, wigs, and carefully engineered stage lights, Dietrich was able to maintain her glamorous persona well into her golden years.
In 1960, she returned to her homeland of Germany for a concert performance for the first time since becoming an American Citizen. It was a bold move, considering many considered her a traitor for her actions during World War II. Others, however, defended her as a hero for standing up against the Nazi regime and, as expected, the performance was met with mixed audience reviews. Although the engagement was considered an artistic triumph, it was financial failure.
In the late sixties and into the seventies, Dietrich's health began to deteriorate. Her alcoholism grew worse, causing her to injure herself on stage. She took an increasing amount of painkillers to dull the pain of constant performance. In 1975, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She spend the last years of her life bed-ridden and physically isolated, allowing only a chosen few to see her, yet maintaining rich relationships through phone and letters. She remained politically active in her later years, granting a television interview via the telephone after the fall of the Berlin Wall. On May 7th, 1992 Dietrich died of renal failure in her Paris Apartment. She was 90 years old.(Source: article by Minoo Allen for Classic Movie Hub).

FYI, I have killed every rosemary plant I owned. It seems that as soon as I move it indoors for the winter, it dies no matter what I do.
Don't bring it inside. Leave it outside, and insulate it; ie, bury the pot in the ground so the roots don't freeze, and cover with leaves and burlap. (I got one to survive for 3 years, only killing it last winter when I neglected it.)
I killed every rosemary plant too, before I started doing this.

I can't believe that I'm actually writing this blog post? I barely blogged in 2017 and didn't really write a yearly wrap-up, because there wasn't really a year to wrap up, haha. I didn't know what I was doing last year.
But this year 2018, I stumbled through it. I kept blogging and reading and writing. And I'm going to attempt writing this yearly wrap up!
Look at this COOL PIE GRAPHS! I knew I wanted to make pie graphs and after googling how in the world to make graphs, here they are!
Type of Books I Read this Year
How in the world did I read more contemporary than fantasy? I feel like I betrayed my own brand 😂
But I'm also happy to have discovered some great contemporary reads. I hope to keep reading both fantasy and contemporary in 2019.
My Reading Pile this Year
Look at all those backlist books!
I didn't even realize I read more old books than new releases, but I'm totally okay with that! I read almost all of Rick Riordan's books this year, and that's A LOT of backlist books.
I'm going to be very sad when I actually finish all of Rick Riordan's books. 😞 I mean, what in the world will I read?
Diverse Reading
Diverse and Own Voices books can overlap, but I did go ahead and put them into two different categories.
Put together over half of my reads were diverse. Yay! I definitely want to keep up with this trend in 2019 and keep reading diverse books.
Some quick stats
I read 42,294 pages and 111 books.
The shortest book I read was Gentleman's Guide to Getting Lucky. It was a novella, so of course it was short.
And then of course the longest book I read was Queen of Air and Darkness. 912 pages. Almost a thousand pages long. Wow.
Most Anticipated Books
Most Surprising New Favorites
I know that this says blogging world. But this just means my blogging world today. My blog planet. because I'm lazy and don't want to make a new graphic.
Okay, I fiddled around with my stats until I figured out some information. Because I was only partially organized and definitely did not keep track of how much I posted, numbers wise.
Well, now that I've admitted all that, some blog numbers.
► 113 posts – once this is published and my December wrap up, it might be 115 posts? And I like a semi-round number. And to compare, I only posted 39 times in 2017.
► 143,978 total words – an average of 1,200 per post. Sorry, I'm pretty long winded 😊 And I can't believe it but that's way up from 2017 when I only posted around 30,000 words.
► 1,000+ comments. I LOVE chatting with all of you guys! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to comment and to engage with my thoughts!
Most Popular Posts of the Year
How does my Harry Potter Characters Ranking post still get so many views? It wasn't even published this year! But it was the #1 most popular post. Hmm. And I mean this post is so old, it doesn't even have my on brand pink bordering.
Next most popular post is my rant review for the Hazel Wood. I still stand by everything I said in that review. #sorrynotsorry
And third most popular is my post about YA Books Set in College. Because all of us YA reader in college still want more YA books set in college. At least, that's the take away I get from this post's popularity.
Types of Blog Posts
See that smallest sliver? That's guest posts. Very few happened this year. I'd like to publish more next year… but I'm kind of terrible at planning them. Opps.
I published 24 book reviews! That averages to about a 2 a month, though I don't think I actually published 2 every month.
some of my personal favorite reviews this year
And then I published less than 10 discussion posts. It feels like I published more than that few, because discussion posts take a long time to write. But apparently, I still only published a few. Definitely want to write more next year.
Of course, there's lots of wrap ups. At least one a month. Plus lots of TBR style posts. These are probably the easiest and most fun to write. And of course, pretty popular.
Tying in with my TBR style posts are book lists and recommendations. Apparently, the majority of what I published were list posts!
You know how I thought I wrote more discussion posts? I really also thought I posted more book tags. But apparently not. I did like 7. Not too many. Weird.
And finally, my last two personal favorite categories! Blogging and writing posts! I love writing how-to posts, whether they're about writing or blogging. I do hope to publish many more of these style posts in 2019!
Search Terms of 2018
I love search terms. Even though I don't get that many because google blocks me from seeing my blog search terms.
But here's some interesting search terms from 2018…
► Hazel Wood problematic (see above paragraph for my answer)
► harry potter characters (I'm assuming that's how that HP post get so many views)
► amazon (hmmm, not sure I'm the right place for amazon)
► how to write morally grey character (welp, maybe I need to write more about this?)
► the storm before the storm analysis (oh, look one of my fav non-fiction reads of 2017! Sure, read my review, but please read the book, too)
Well, I might have exhausted everyone talking about my blog, haha. So, just a few more words, I think.
2018 has been a great year for blogging. Starting this year, I actually started making blogging friends, working on buddy reads, and guest posts. I made blogging schedules and mostly kept them. 😊
I am super looking forward to 2019 and where my blog goes! All the great discussions and reviews and comments I know are going to happen!
I almost forgot to write this section! Because talking about the blog took foreeeevvvvveeeer. Anyway, some chatting about this year's writing.
I wrote a book! A fully complete manuscript that is currently being queried. That means, it was written, edited, sent to an editing friend, and several friends beta read it. Will it be published? Sadly, who knows. It can take a while to get into the publishing world, and I'm working hard on it. But querying kind of takes a back seat while I'm in college.
I almost finished a second book. Yes, I wanted to finish writing this manuscript before the end of 2018. But, this last chapter is super tough to write. I'm just under 40k, and it's just NOT done. I also want to add some more scenes and work on some major edits before this story is beta read.
Currently, my plan is for this book to be ready for beta readers by March.
Oh, I'm excited to chat about my writing plans for 2019 soon! 2019 writing plans post coming in early January!
Oh, speaking of January (!!!!) here's my 2019 blog survey! I'd super appreciate if you guys could answer the questions. It will help me so much in creating content that's enjoyable for both you and me 😊 You can either fill out answer's here, or follow the link.
Alright, I'm all done talking about my 2018 books and blogging and stats – tell me what you think! What were your fav reads of the year? Shortest and longest books you read? Favorite new book series? Did you read more backlist or new titles?
If you're a blogger, how was your blogging this year? Did you post more reviews, discussions or TBR posts? What's your favorite kind of post to write?
Are you planning out any major projects for 2019?

A Junior Library Guild Selection
"Romance novels can titillate, inspire, intoxicate, and more—but then sometimes they reach in and touch something essential in you. Jennifer E. Smith's Field Notes on Love is a YA romance that does just that….[it] is one of the loveliest, most touching romances of 2019 thus far that gets at the nature of something deeply buried in all of our hearts." —Entertainment Weekly
"This warm, romantic, never overly sentimental story is told with humor and heart….A deeply satisfying read about a life-changing journey full of poignant moments."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

An 11-story Courthouse Square building across from the Arcade has been bought by a chief executive with a track record of local employment, global success and Dayton-region investment buys.
The investment is seen by some leaders as a boost for revitalization of the area around the Arcade, which is under construction.
Chris Riegel, founder, owner and CEO of digital signage and monitor company Stratacache, confirmed that he bought the long-watched tower at 10 N. Ludlow St.
ANNOUNCED WEDNESDAY:Stratacache CEO buys downtown Dayton building for $1.7 million
The building was purchased at auction for $1,669,500, according to property records.
Riegel said he was drawn to the property by the slow but sure redevelopment of the historic downtown Arcade located across the street from Courthouse Square. He also promised further investment announcements in the near future when the Dayton Daily News asked him about the purchase.
"It's absolutely good news," said Peter Benkendorf, founder of the Collaboratory, a non-profit group which had been located on Courthouse Square for more than seven years.
"Anybody who wants to invest in Dayton should be welcome, if they're going to be a hands-on investor," Benkendorf said.
But he said there's something reassuring about having locally based owners and developers — people like Jason Woodard, Charlie Simms and others — involved in local investment and work.
"That is the best of all possibilities," Benkendorf said. "I'd rather have a local owner, because it does show a commitment to the community."
Matthew Sliver, principal of marketing firm Catapult Creative, which is located on the first floor of 10 N. Ludlow, welcomed the news of Riegel's involvement.
"I'm extremely pleased to hear that a guy with a solid investment in Dayton is taking over one of the premier buildings downtown," Sliver said. "Can't wait to see what he's going to do with it."
Riegel and his company have steadily invested in local properties since 2009: 2 Riverplace, which Stratacache owns, as well as properties in Huber Heights and most recently Trotwood, where Stratacache transformed an all-but-abandoned 380,000-square-foot warehouse into space for assembly and distribution work.
The Trotwood site averages about 90 employees — with a $5 million annual payroll — with seasonal retail peaks at about 110 to 120 employees. Globally, Stratacache has about 750 employees, with about 320 of those working in the Dayton area.
The building at 10 N. Ludlow was marketed as a 145,509-square-foot, multi-tenant property located in an Ohio "opportunity zone" found in the heart of Dayton's central business district.
Colliers International and Ten-X oversaw an auction of the property from Nov. 5 to 7 this year. The "earnest money" deposit required by the auction was an amount greater than 10 percent of the winning bid amount not to exceed $1 million, with the auction closing period set at about Dec. 7.

"Opportunity zones," created by the federal tax package Congress passed last December, give investors the potential to take advantage of temporary tax deferral or permanent exclusion from taxable income of capital gains depending on the length of ownership of property in certain economically challenged areas.
'I think Courthouse Square is going to see a rebirth'
With work on the Arcade proceeding just across from Courthouse Square, Benkendorf expects a bright future for an area that might be seen as the core of Dayton's central business district.
"I think Courthouse Square is going to see a rebirth," he said.
Sandy Gudorf, executive director of the Downtown Dayton Partnership, also welcomed Riegel's involvement.
But she agreed that any investors willing to be involved and responsive to local needs should be welcome.
"We're seeing more and more investors taking a really hard look at downtown," Gudorf said. "We're seeing groups like the Lawyers Group (Columbus-based Lawyers Development Corp.), and Triad (Architects) coming in from Columbus."
She added: "They see that downtown is on the cusp of some really good things."
First Barclay, LLC, a joint project between Columbus-based Lawyers Development Corp. and Chicago-based First Hospitality Group, plans to convert the Barclay building, 137 N. Main St., to a "branded boutique hotel," the company announced in October.
Triad Architects purchased 18 W. Fifth St., a three-story property that is home to the Dayton Chess Club. The chess club occupies the first floor and basement.
The Triad Architects firm is crafting plans for the property, but some initial ideas are for a restaurant or food provider in the first floor of the building and possibly offices or residential units on the upper floors, a company principal has told the Dayton Daily News in recent months.

and then presented with a celebratory plaque by board president Michael
The tradition is designed to give the district another
opportunity to honor the dedication and hard work of its remarkable

Two years ago today I was in the hospital, being "ripened," waiting to be induced. It was not how either Stu nor I planned the day. We had gone to the doctor's appointment on the way to work. We both had meetings. There was no hospital bag in the car. So, of course, I was sent from the doctor's office to the hospital.
They were worried about my fluid level. The baby was doing ok, but couldn't stay in any longer.
I spent Monday afternoon and night contracting, not really feeling any of it. Progression was slow and boring. Being in the hospital alone sucked. Waiting sucked. Anticipation sucked.
After a quick peek through the blog archives, it seems that I never wrote up Teagan's birth story. Or, I haven't found the blog entry yet. I do know that Stu sent me his version, and I thought I had written mine up, I'll keep looking.
I can say that she didn't want to come, she fought to stay in all day. They didn't move me down to L&D until 10am or so the following morning. There was intervention after intervention – more than I wanted. Ripening, pitocin, foley balloon, water broken, more pitocin, Nubain. My parents calling (really!) to see how I was doing. I hadn't wanted an epidural, I ended up getting one. I was so tired by the time it was time to push I didn't think I could. I remember that I wanted to push but they told me I couldn't. Once they let me, I ended up pushing her out in 45 minutes. The cord was around her neck – bent her ear back, and it stayed like that for a few weeks.
She was a girl! Born to "High and Dry" by Radiohead. She came out a bit blue and didn't pink up quickly. Her apgars weren't too good – I think a 6 and then an 8? But she was ok. I was so tired once she was out, I thought I would drop her after they bundled her up and gave her to me. I had Stu take her from me.
It all ended up being worth it. I'm so glad our beautiful princess is here. She really is a joy (as long as she's not tired!). The way she sees, learns, the world is awesome. I love her to bits.

And now for ways to bring harm to your players,
Well, Claustaphobia! either underwater, in the mask or inside the decompression chamber which leads to panic.
Gear malfunction: This can be anything from a leaking mask, to a bad gauge that tells him he is deeper or shallower than he is, a bad chronometer or dive watch, or a bad tank gauge telling him he is out of air when he isn't or has air when he hasn't.
Lost fin- a pain in the ass.
Lost or cracked mask
Lost weightbelt-
shifting gear or weightbelt
Can't get the right bouyancy so he is always fighting a bit to keep from sinking or from floating
Lost flashlight, knife or other small piece of gear
Broken zipper on wet suite, or worse a dry suite.
Ear Squeeze <where the pressure on the inner ear does not equalize> these are very painful
Ruptured eardrum, even more painful
diving with a sinus or ear or similiar condition- pain and misery
Pulled muscle- always get them.
Cut on coral, line or gear
Tangled in coral or line or gear straps
Faulty regulator- this is your airsupply
Faulty O ring on the tank, which makes it leak.
Valve on your tank is not turned on, or get bumped and turned off.
Wrong WetSuite for the conditions or time underwater which can be uncomforatable to deadly,
Bad air or gas. This happens even today. This can make one ill or dead.
Oxygen poisoning, where it gets toxic
Nitrogen Narcosis- or divers high, where the nitrogen levels are altered and you get drugged effect, this can be anywhere from just feeling good to wanting to swim to the seafloor and full on halucinations,
The Bends; you come up to fast nitrogen bubbles in your system increase and it can cause headaches, paralysis that can be permiment, blood vessels rupture, even a brain embalism which gives you the effects of a stroke or even death.
Ruptured lung: going up to fast without exhauling which causes lungs to burst. <Do not hold your breath when you surface!!!!>
Rupture Ear Drums, again pressure injury.
Other equipment failures, a malfunction bouyancy compensator after a dive not the time to fight to stay on the surface and in position after an exahusting dive.
Firegrass! I hate you guys in OZ for importing your seaweeds here! Its in my marina now and I got some last time i dove to work on my boat, stings like a mo fo!
Jelly Fish these are more common that sharks
Sharks sure
Agressive sea animals like sea lions, or seals or just curious ones who will get in your way or mess with your gear.
Dolphines you see a large gray fish shaped thing underwater and it gives a fear factor.
EELS these are more dangerous and common than sharks
Octopus and Squid, some can be agressive
Coral, it will shred you nicely
Getting Lost
Waves and Surf these will mess you up.
Boats, they can hit you, or you can surface under them.
Tunnels and Wrecks, getting lost, trapped or falling items or what not that can fall on your or cut you.
Fishing line, fish nets and seaweed or kelp forests all a danger for getting tangled.
Submerged logs, pier pillings and other debris, in a tidal area these are dangerous.
Missing your boat, a navigation issue, but remember that movie Openwater?
Anyhow, those are some of the things off the top of my head.
Oh you can have the evil villian have trained seals, sea lions and dolphins not with lazers attatched to their heads, but that patrol the underwater area with cameras or even a form of handcuff or legcuff <they had them on mailcall or some such show> or just counter divers hunting your characrer.
I hope this in some small way helps make your characters lives all the shorter and a bit more misrable.
priceless list here,,,,,,,thanx alot

Since the release of their debut album in 2017, Highly Sedated has received positive feedback from electronic music fans and producers wanting to remix some of their productions. Arguably considered their best track, Last Call, receives a remix from Spanish duo CYA on Size Records.
With the original picking up a multitude of global DJ & radio airwave love in recent months, CYA's re-work delivers a deeper vibe – whilst still retaining the records unmistakable vocal hook. This is the second time CYA has remixed a Highly Sedated production since they released one for 'Make Love' last summer.

This has been a crazy weather summer. It hit 94 degrees in early May, a time of year that we are normally struggling to reach 70. That was followed by a nasty thunderstorm.
A few weeks later it was almost ninety again, once again, nasty thunderstorms.
Reached towards 90 again, that night horrific thunderstorms, the story of which is going to become a blog post later because Duluth got whacked in that storm.
It was 90 again yesterday, we got some storms early this morning, and I am looking at the warning popping up to our west as I write this.
But anyway, June 19th we has storms pass just around us, the lake prevented them from rolling right over us this time, we did get some awesome mammatus clouds right at sunset!

215 pterosaur eggs unearthed in biggest collection ever found

Comments Off on 215 pterosaur eggs unearthed in biggest collection ever found
Scientists recently uncovered the largest group of fossilized pterosaur eggs ever. In a 10-foot-long sandstone block in northwest China , they came across 215 eggs – 16 of which have embryonic remains. Discoveries of pterosaur eggs are exceedingly rare. The only previous discoveries with an intact embryo and well-preserved 3D structure include three in Argentina and five in China , so researchers around the world are especially thrilled with this latest find. Pterosaurs may have been around on Earth up to 225 million years ago, but vanished with the dinosaurs around 65 million years ago. This new discovery of pterosaur eggs from the species Hamipterus tianshanensis reveals the reptiles – the first creatures following insects to evolve powered flight – actually couldn't soar right away after they were born, requiring care from parents. Paleontologist Alexander Kellner of the Museu Nacional at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro told AFP, "Since these are extremely fragile fossils , we were very surprised to find so many in the same place. Because of this discovery, we can talk about the behavior of these animals for the first time." Related: Ancient flying reptile was around the size of a small plane The eggs are an estimated 120 million years old, from pterosaurs that as adults would have been around four-feet-tall with an 11-foot wingspan. Researchers unearthed partial skull and wing bones , and even one entire lower jaw, filling in some of the gaps in our knowledge about the pterosaur life cycle. The baby pterosaurs would have had functional hind legs not too long after hatching, but weak chest muscles. Kellner said they "could walk but not fly…This is one of the biggest discoveries we have made." Scientists also found some adult pterosaur bones in the vicinity, leading them to think adult pterosaurs may have come back to the same nesting spots. The journal Science published the work this month. 17 scientists from institutions in China and Brazil contributed; paleontologist Xiaolin Wang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences led the study. He said there could be as many as 300 eggs at the excavation site – there appear to be some buried beneath the exposed ones.

Cannabis walls add warmth to this eco-friendly home in Israel
Comments Off on Cannabis walls add warmth to this eco-friendly home in Israel
Cannabis is good for more than just medicine—industrial hemp has its uses in eco-friendly architecture too. Haifa-based studio Tav Group built Ein Hod, an eco-minded home for artists, using hempcrete, a bio-composite made from hemp hurds, hydrated lime, and water with desirable thermal properties. Located on a hillside in a rural Israeli artist's village, the beautiful terraced home is optimized for passive solar and ventilation to further minimize energy demands. The use of natural materials and external lime plaster helps blend the 250-square-meter Eid Hod home into the rocky terrain. Concrete is avoided save for the mandatory safety room and foundations. Locally excavated stone make up the lower floor walls, while hempcrete, set between wood framing, makes up the walls of the upper levels. Interior walls are built of rammed earth and earth-based plaster is applied throughout the light-filled interior to create a warm and comfortable non-toxic environment. Timber ties the rooms together and can be seen in the rustic furnishings, stairways, window frames, and exposed ceiling beams. The architects say the Ein Hod home is the first structure in Israel built of hempcrete , a fire-resistant plant-based material with carbon sequestration benefits. The use of lime coating also adds to hempcrete's anti-microbial and anti-fungal advantages. However, hempcrete is no replacement for concrete; the material isn't suitable for structural use but is an eco-friendly insulation choice, albeit a pricey one depending on where it's used. Related: Hemp-based insulation makes a comeback in Belgium In addition to the use of hempcrete and passive solar principles , Ein Hod is also equipped with solar panels and rainwater collection as well as graywater purification systems to minimize water use. + Tav Group Images by Yoav Etiel

New 'Hobbit' fossils provide a glimpse into human relative

Comments Off on New 'Hobbit' fossils provide a glimpse into human relative
With the discovery of a tooth here or a bone fragment there, archaeologists piece together the history of humanity – and a recent discovery on the Indonesian island of Flores provides new insight into human evolution . The teeth and mandible belong to a tiny 3-foot-tall hominin species many have nicknamed 'Hobbits.' Archaeologists first discovered these Hobbits, or Homo floresiensis , back in 2004 in the Liang Bua cave on western Flores. At that time the fossils created more questions than answers. Did they evolve from Homo erectus , or from other smaller hominins such as Homo habilis or Australopithecus ? They appear to have been small, with small brains, leading some to think they didn't evolve from Homo erectus at all. Related: Did scientists just discover a new kind of ancient human? In 2014, archaeologists discovered new Hobbit fossils at Mata Menge, about 30 miles east of Liang Bua on Flores in an older layer of rock. This month, the journal Nature published their findings . The six teeth from at least three individuals and one mandible fragment they found reveals the Hobbits likely did evolve from Homo erectus . If that is the case, then the Hobbits' bodies and brains shrunk. The archaeologists say it would have been an " evolutionary reversal ." The Hobbits had small brains about the size of a chimpanzee's, according to Gerrit van den Bergh, lead author on the recently published paper. However, they showed signs of sophistication and walked upright. As one explanation, the archaeologists speculate that since they lived on an island, perhaps they didn't require large brains. In a video for Nature, Van den Bergh said, "Maybe they didn't need such a big brain, because a brain is a very expensive organ, and maybe a smaller brain might work as well here in an island setting. But what is clear is that they made stone tools so they were not stupid." The fossils uncovered date to about 700,000 years ago and were older than the Liang Bua fossils.

Australian wave energy project sets a new world record with 14,000 operating hours
Comments Off on Australian wave energy project sets a new world record with 14,000 operating hours
Surfers at Sydney's Bondi Beach aren't the only Australians catching waves. The Perth-based Carnegie Wave Energy Project just set a world record by completing 14,000 cumulative operating hours. Located off Garden Island, Western Australia, the CETO 5 marine energy system has for the past year been generating clean, renewable electricity and potable desalinated water for Australia's largest naval base, HMAS Stirling, on Garden Island. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) provided $13.1 million in funding for the $40 million project — the first array of wave power generators to be connected to an electricity grid. "ARENA is proud to help local companies, like [Carnegie Wave Energy Limited], develop new renewable energy solutions that have the potential to change the way the world generates electricity," said ARENA CEO Ivor Frischknecht. "We do this by providing Australian innovators with the support they need during the critical RD&D period, when patient funding is essential." The CETO 6 is the next generation of wave energy technology. Each unit has a targeted one megawatt capacity, which is four times the output of the CETO 5 unit. The power is transmitted onshore via subsea cable. The CETO 6 design is the product platform that will be used in commercial CETO projects. Related: The world's first wave energy microgrid project is coming to Australia Wave energy technology has enormous potential to provide zero emissions electricity to Australians because more than 80 percent of the population of 24 million people reside along the coast. + Carnegie Wave Energy + Australian Renewable Energy Agency Via Climate Action News Images via Carnegie Wave Energy Save

AUGUSTA, Maine — After a year of argument over high electric bills from Central Maine Power, the Legislature is being asked to basically get rid of the company and turn it over to consumers.
A proposal from the co-chair of the Energy and Utilities Committee was unveiled today to create a public power authority for Maine. Rep. Seth Berry (D-Bowdoinham) says it would result in lower costs and better service for ratepayers of both utilities.
Berry's plan would create a public entity, somewhat like the Maine Turnpike Authority, which he calls the Maine Power Delivery Authority. It would borrow the money, using state revenue bonds, at low-interest rates, to buy the two utilities. CMP and Emera would be required to sell at a negotiated price.
Berry says consumers would pay off the bonds through their normal monthly bills and still save money through reduced interest costs and the elimination of corporate profit for private shareholders.
"Its simple, its like refinancing a house at a lower interest rate," Berry told a press conference. "Right now, we pay 10 to 12 percent to CMP's overseas investor. Instead, we could pay three percent or so and keep the difference in our pockets in the local economy."
But the idea of the government requiring the sale of the two utilities was the first complaint raised by CMP.
"I think the first thing that people need to look at are the legal and constitutional issues involved when the government talks about seizing private business property," said CMP spokeswoman Catharine Hartnett.
Berry insists the Legislature has the authority to order such a sale because the two businesses are state-regulated monopolies.
Berry's bill is just bring introduced and hasn't been printed yet, meaning lawmakers and others haven't been able to read the details. It will need to work its way through the full Legislative process.
How much it would cost to buy out the utilities isn't known, but the Maine Public Utilities Commission says the 2017 filings listed CMP's assets at $3.4 billion, while Emera Maine listed assets of more than $1 billion.
