Yesterday we saw Wren & Willow's kitchen renovation, and heard from owner-contractor Laureen Skrivan about her company's plan to remodel it to rent on Airbnb. Today let's look at the bathrooms — all-new, but designed to look like they'd always been there.
The guest bathroom:
Of course, there is a pink bathroom! And this one is the stuff that many folks' dreams are made of: Pink field tile with black bullnose trim… a black-and-white pinwheel tile floor… a vintage sink… and playing up the glamorous 1940s, a mirrored storage cabinet. Laureen says the tile is American Olean "Antique Rose." I'm going to go check it out, stat!
All photos by Aleks Akinshev of the Wren & Willow team.
I'm seeing a recurring theme — rick rack on the cafe curtains in the kitchen — rick rack on the polka-dotted shower curtain in the pink bathroom.
The master bathroom:
Laureen got help with the sink from one of Retro Renovation's longest advertisers with the sink in the master bathroom. She said:
DEA Machineries supplied us with a 1940's American Standard wall mounted sink that was completely refurbished. Its unique size made it a perfect fit for the small master bathroom.
We also saved the wall-mounted heat vents original to the house. Our local classic car restorer sandblasted the vents and added a chrome finish. The vents, along with the original front door hardware, were given a whole new life.
More about Laureen and her company Wren & Willow:
Laureen is a super interesting person. Check out the Wren & Willow's "Story" page, and you will see that she started just 10 years ago as an interior designer… but within just two years decided she also wanted to become a general contractor so that she could do even more to help her clients. Wren & Willow the general contracting firm opened in 2008. Success came fast:
The company continued to grow, and it became apparent that Wren & Willow had outgrown its office space. In 2011, the company purchased a commercial building on North Pearl Street that was built in 1917. Laureen saw the building's potential and designed the building to restore it to its original 1917 look and feel, which included using reclaimed wood throughout the building, while giving it a modern touch which included commercial kitchen appliances and a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system. The building took two years to complete, and Wren & Willow moved into the restored building in March 2013. The Wren & Willow office building won the MBA award for Best Commercial Project in Pierce County, the State of Washington, and the Western Region of the United States as well as Best Design through the national Design Professional's Award.
Wren & Willow continued to grow at a rapid pace. The company grew from two employees to 18 in just a few short years. Laureen's reputation among her peers grew, and in 2014, she was elected to the highest position of the Master Builder's Association of Pierce County as the first woman president in its 69-year history.
Way to go, Laureen!

I want to eat the bathroom.
Kara, that is so funny! Yesterday when I left a comment, I wanted to say I could just lick those jadite cabinets. Thought the readers would consider that a little off center. I could lick the jadite cabinets, the pink tile in the bathroom, and all buttercream stucco on mediterranean style buildings with clay tile roofs. There, I said it now I own it. I find those colors positively luscious.
Those are very pretty bathrooms. It's also nice to see natural wood doors and windows instead of white.
A comment on the tiles most wouldn't notice: in most tile work from the era, the corners of the trim tiles were not mitered. There are special square trim tiles made for outside and inside corners, these are still available from Daltile and other companies.
The green one reminds me of our old bathroom when we were first married. It wasn't real tile (paneling), but it was white with the black. A sink similar to that, & I had painted the walls that green. Even the wooden window casing & the door with the glass knob. I love it! My husband walked by & saw the picture & asked if I was reminiscing about our old bathroom. Didn't have that kind of floor, though. Thank you for a blast from the past!
Of course I'm salivating over this house…especially the butler's pantry and the pink bathroom. I'm sad there isn't a link to the company who makes that mirrored storage cabinet, though! Others exist, but I haven't seen one with 'tiers' or 'levels' like that before, though! It's SO GLAM! The house is done in amazing taste…congrats to all who contributed.

APD hires two officers with sergeant resigning
ALTON — Discussion during an aldermanic executive session centered on the Alton Police Department hiring three new officers, in light of a sergeant's forthcoming resignation this month.
Sgt. Jason Weirich is quitting "to spend more time with his family and pursue other career options," said Pfc. Emily Hejna, APD public information officer. His resignation is effective Tuesday, Aug. 16.
"He is an outstanding officer, he trained more officers and was a field training officer," she said. "He is a wealth of knowledge and information. He proudly served the Alton community since 1999."
Pfc. Jeremiah Dressler is next in line to fill the sergeant opening, but it is undetermined when the promotion would happen.
APD, via the Alton Civil Service Commission, in turn has hired two officers and is in the process of bringing on the third individual next week, Hejna said. That candidate is a woman, which would bring the number of female officers to four at APD.
Both probationary officers Tyler Garland and Evan Bailey were sworn in on Friday. Bailey previously was a corrections officer at Alton City Jail.
At the same time, another corrections officer — Sarah McAfoos — is resigning effective Thursday, Aug. 4, thereby leaving a second opening in the jail staff. No one had been hired to fill those slots as of Monday, Hejna said.
The recent addition of three police officers would help prepare the department for any retirements that could occur in the coming months.
"We have a few potential retirements," said APD Chief Jason "Jake" Simmons.
"Several people are eligible for retiring in the next 12 months, but no one has turned in their 'time' (forms)," Hejna said.

A smile
Brian showing off his sandals with socks. He managed to pack socks for our overnight trip but forgot his shoes. Since it was cold he decided to just go with the sock/sandal look.
Mentanna managed to remember socks and shoes, but her socks were not really the right type of socks to wear with dress shoes. And one of her socks had a hole in it. And when I say hole I mean there was really no heel to the sock at all. And no elastic. Why she still even owned this pair of socks was beyond me. The sock kept slipping down on her foot. After fixing it several times she decided to just remove the sock. Here she is showing off her one sock wearing style. Yep...I was the only one wearing normal footwear. Someone had to look good.
Brian had a little too much San Pelegrino. For those who don't know that's just sparkling water.
Mentanna trying to storm the castle.
Some storm troopers actually paying to storm the castle. Actually these were bikers...in full biker regalia. They were so decked out that they actually made noise as they walked.
In the window of a massage parlor. I love how they have the Asian barbie giving the blonde barbie a massage. Totally cracked me up.
Mentanna marching on the Roman road.
Brian wanted me to take a picture of this tower. Then proceeded to jump in the picture when I was snapping.
Mentanna getting in on the tower action. I believe she jumped in singing "Stop in the name of love, before you break my heart."
Brian just compared himself to a pile of poop sitting on a wall and totally cracked Mentanna up.
Thanks for smiling with me.

You are the sensible, sock & shoe person.... {grin}

- Natalie said...
charlie girl - it's the drawstring to his hood. it flew in his face when he jumped.
socks and shoes...my thing.
penny - we did have fun. i was the photographer...didn't make it into any pictures except the ones i posted earlier. you have seen all the pictures that included me.
mamadallama - i laughed for sure. mentanna ended up borrowing a pair of brian's socks after we searched all over carcassonne for a souvenir pair. they didn't make them. worked out well for her though!
over-thinker - i know. totally cracked me up. i could just envision people bringing their barbies there for a massage. makes me giggle!

Colleagues of PC Andrew Harper will lead a minute's silence for him later this morning.
Thames Valley Police will hold the tribute at 11am and police officers across the country are set to join the act of remembrance.
The 28-year-old, who was based in Abingdon in Oxfordshire, died on 15 August while responding to reports of a burglary near Sulhamstead in Berkshire.
He had married his partner Lissie just four weeks earlier and the couple were about to go on their honeymoon.
Members of the public have responded by bringing gifts, food or leaving tributes to their own police forces in a show of support.
Jed Foster, 20, has been charged with PC Harper's murder and is in custody following a court appearance earlier this week.
His defence lawyer Rob Jacques has said Foster denies "any involvement in the horrific murder" and that he "urges the police to follow all lines of enquiry, and for the public to come forward and co-operate".
Meanwhile, Paul Bone, whose police officer daughter Fiona was killed on duty, said he had not been able to sleep after hearing about PC Harper's death last week.
Fiona and her colleague PC Nicola Hughes were both shot dead while responding to a hoax emergency call in east Manchester in 2012.
Mr Bone told Sky News: "You can't go to work and say I'm going to get killed today… everybody has the right to come home at the end of the shift.
"You can't cater for idiots with guns, idiots with knives, people who don't want to stop their car when they're told to. There's no respect for the police anymore."
Even though the man who murdered his daughter was jailed for life, Mr Bone believes soft sentencing has weakened the police.
"There's very little deterrent anymore and although the police are citizens in uniform they need a deterrent to back them up – and that deterrent is fast disappearing," Mr Bone said.
Sir Peter Fahy was Greater Manchester Police's chief constable at the time Fiona and Nicola were killed and, now retired, he chairs the COPS charity supporting bereaved families.
He told Sky News: "One thing I found when the two officers were killed in Greater Manchester was that officers immediately felt able to talk about their emotions, there were lots of tears, there were a lot of hugs.
"People spoke very freely – we put in a very comprehensive welfare plan to enable them to do that.
"I actually asked if that could continue and it didn't because policing is actually about going and dealing with often very violent and traumatic incidents and you then hide your emotions, you then actually put that away and get onto the next incident.
"I think the police service is recognising that, long-term, that's not healthy and sadly it's revealing a huge impact of mental health within police officers."

The payroll tax cut debate is ludicrous. The media is paying close attention to how Republicans are the ones "holding the whole Democracy of America" as Carl Bernstein from Washington Post said on Morning Joe.
On the other hand, Republicans are blaming Democrats for not wanting to compromise. For example, Speaker of the House, John Boehner told President Obama last week, "I just think the American people expect us to do our work." Yes they do Speaker, but Americans also want to hear truth.
Both sides are missing the point. The payroll tax cut is a hoax. This tax cut should not be extended for two months or a year. According to CBS News, taxes will go up by "almost $20 a week, or $1,000 a year, for a worker earning $50,000, and as much as $82 a week, or $4,272 a year, for a household with two high-paid workers."
This kind of stimulus is absurd. Are $20 dollars really going to make a difference? As Senator Tom Coburn said on The Kudlow Report, "The average person making $40,000 gets 2% benefit by not paying their side…it's a matter of whether or not you will raise their taxes back to what they were a year before last on social security."
The Senator also stated on CNBC that the tax cut takes away $330 billion from the social security tax fund, while adding "$2.6 trillion of IOU" money. This is embarrassing. If President Obama believes that taking money away from pensions is going to stimulate the economy with close to 70 million baby boomers nearing retirement in the next couple of years, then he lives in "la la" land. But then again so are the Republicans that are not opposing the extension of the payroll tax cut. In fact, House Republicans want to extend it to a year.
Washington lacks leadership. No one is speaking against this gimmick of a proposal. Social Security is broke, as evident by this debate. As Forbes' Matthew Campione wrote, cutting the additional revenue from the Social Security Trust Fund will leave government with two choices: "Government can renege by substantially reducing future benefits, or by not paying all of what it owes to the Social Security Trust Fund." He believes that the former is most likely because politicians would not want to offend "70 million people [who] are, or will soon be, Social Security recipients."
Did the payroll tax cut really help in 2011? The quick solution to people's financial problems does not lie in taking money from their social security; we need a cut in income tax. The decision to cut Social Security provides evidence of the government's current focus: short-term satisfaction. The payroll tax cut extension only satisfies families for two months. If the Republican proposal had been passed, people would be satisfied for a year. Neither plan is a long-term plan and neither plan solves any problems permanently. The unemployment rate is still very high; people are barely making ends meet.
It's time to realize that politicians are playing us like a fiddle. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican doesn't matter. Both are to blame, but most specifically, President Obama is to blame. He's the leader and he hasn't shown one bit of leadership on this issue. He was pointing fingers at the Republicans while doing his Christmas shopping at a Virginia Best Buy. Mr. President, Christmas presents could have waited; what can't wait is the fiscal instability of the country and more importantly, the retirement funds of 70 million people.

RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif has said Pakistan Army is capable of responding to an invasion by any external force.
"If the enemy ever resorts to any misadventure, regardless of its size and scale, it will have to pay an unbearable cost," he said while addressing a special ceremony to celebrate Defence of Pakistan Day at GHQ in Rawalpindi on Sunday.
The army chief said Kashmir was an unfinished agenda of Partition and that peace in the region hinges on the resolution of the Kashmir dispute.
"Without resolving Kashmir issue according to aspirations of Kashmiris, peace in region is not possible," he said.
Read: Pakistan observes 50th Defence Day
A number of civil-military leaders, artists, families of martyrs, former army cheifs Aslam Baig, Parvez Kayani were present at the Defence Day ceremony to pay homage to the sacrifices of Pakistan Army in 1965 war.
"The APS attack was the worst example of brutality and tyranny," said the army chief, while paying tribute to the martyred students and lauding the patience of their parents. He said nearly all terrorists involved in this incident had met their fate.
General Raheel went on to add that Operation Zarb-e-Azb started at a time when chaotic forces were challenging the state of Pakistan and law and order situation in the country was at its lowest ebb.
He also commended the media for playing a key role in war against terrorism by exposing real face of terrorists. He urged all state institutions to play their due role to make this success complete and durable so that the objectives of the National Action Plan will be achieved soon.
The army chief renewed his resolve that they will take the financiers, abettors, facilitator and sympathysers of terrorists to the task.

Give Me Coffee!!!
Last week was a week from HELL! Sick Kid, then the Kid bouncing off the walls thinking he is not sick, a night on the couch as sick Kid woke up every hour crying but would put himself back to sleep. However, there was one thing that kept me sane throughout it all…
I realized last week just how much coffee has become a part of my life. If it is not there, you mid-as-well consider me dead to the world. On Thursday, the day in which the Kid did not think he was sick, I made the life-threatening move to not make coffee. Never again will I make that mistake.
I am grouchy, irritable, and I get annoyed fast. As parents, I am sure that we all have our drinks of choice. In the mornings many of us drink coffee, tea, or maybe you chose to start it off with a nice strong shot of whiskey.
We all need something to get our day started, what is yours?

Healthcare Industry and Cyber Crime: The Importance of Data Protection
Cyber crime has been on the rise annually, and it's even predicted to hit $6 trillion by 2021, up from $3 trillion in 2015. The healthcare industry is a particularly attractive target for cyber criminals—and these attacks come with real, human consequences.
In fact, 89% of healthcare organizations have experienced a data breach involving stolen or lost patient data, according to a study by the Ponemon Institute. This number won't drop any time in the near future, as medical information is now worth ten times more than a credit card number on the black market. Criminals can use patient data for years, creating fake identities, filing fraudulent insurance claims, or illegally buying medication—as opposed to credit cards, which are typically canceled as soon as suspicious activity is detected.
Data breaches can be extremely costly for healthcare providers, both financially and with patient trust. Damage to reputation and brand is a huge consequence many organizations suffer after a data breach—at a minimum, news stories highlighting the security failure can spread quickly and will continue to show up in search engine results associated with a brand name for an indefinite amount of time.
Patient information is sensitive and personal, and while it's convenient to store and access digitally, it's essential to ensure that data is as highly protected as possible from potential attacks, thefts, or security breaches.
Compliance and Regulatory Landscape in Healthcare
Currently, organizations that manage healthcare data around the world are subject to regulatory compliance and oversight, and there are a lot of protections in place for patients. A few of the more well known regulations include:
- HIPAA: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act mandates protections for any health information or data that's transmitted or digitally held, physical and mental health (current and history) of any given patient, and payment methods. It also requires appropriate safeguards to assure patient confidentiality and protection—there are specific regulations in regards to data transfer, for example. HIPAA also provides guidance for employees and healthcare workers to maintain high standards of vigilance with privacy issues.
- HITECH Act: Introduced in the U.S. in 2009 as part of a larger act, it provided funding for adoption of a national electronic medical records system. It expanded the scope of HIPAA's privacy and security requirements, and provided more enforcement and larger consequences for non-compliance.
- HIPAA Omnibus Rule: This introduced changes to HIPAA to bring it more in line with the HITECH Act—specifically, it modified the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Breach Notification Rule, and Enforcement Rule. Specifically, it expanded the scope of "electronic media" to account for future changes in technology, increased penalties for non-compliance, and dictated that patient medical history could not be sold and its use for fundraising limited.
- ACA: The Affordable Care Act mandates the sharing of specific types of patient information between the government and healthcare providers.
- mHealth Design and Development Under HIPAA: Since mobile devices are so prevalent across patient populations, this rule protects patient privacy and confidentiality within any app or device that contains or works with identifiable health information. All apps or devices under this law must comply with HIPAA.
- General Data Protection Regulation (European Union): A recent addition to EU regulations—enforced starting in late May 2018—the GDPR sets requirements for protecting personally identifiable information, and requires the use of security measures over sensitive data. There are specific mandates around data protection assessments as well as significant financial penalties for institutions that fail to comply with these measures.
Cyber Crime Threats in Healthcare Are Increasing
The healthcare industry is an easy target for cyber criminals. With a systematic underinvestment in IT security, medical devices that are generally running outdated operating systems and are difficult to update, and increasing adoption of cloud storage solutions across the industry, healthcare organizations have become a goldmine of information for criminals when not properly protected.
Phishing and ransomware attacks are some of the most common in healthcare. Phishing attacks include sending fraudulent emails disguised as a credible sender, asking the recipient to provide sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card or bank information, or social security numbers. Ransomware is software installed on a computer—usually by a recipient opening a malicious attachment—asking the recipient to pay a ransom in exchange for the return of stolen data and personal information.
Both types of attacks compromise healthcare data systems, and can potentially take healthcare software systems offline, creating a situation where patient records can't be accessed, medical devices are locked, medications can't be dispensed, and surgeries and procedures can't be performed. But research studies have indicated that investing money into IT can be an afterthought for many healthcare organizations, even though at least 60% of healthcare data breaches since 2009 could have been avoided with organization-wide encryption measures.
Cyber crime can have a severe impact across healthcare organizations—the consequences can range from loss of sensitive patient data, forced downtime and loss of revenue, damage to brand name and reputation, non-compliance fines, and financial impacts for years following a security incident. It's essential to have the right strategies and plan in place before a data breach ever becomes a reality.

(ANS) is an experienced team of engineers and technologists building and securing critical infrastructures, and we're experienced in solving critical issues within the network and securing vital data.

Thetford's Nunnery Lakes Nature Reserve finds friends
01 Oct 2012 | No. 2012-36
One of Thetford's best kept wildlife secrets is to get a helping hand from some new friends. Over thirty local people signed up to be a friend of the Nunnery Lakes reserve, at an open evening held by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) at its headquarters in Thetford last week.
The friends will volunteer for conservation tasks and activities on the reserve, from scrub clearance, footpath maintenance and wildlife recording, to helping to look after flood meadow and reed bed.
With support from Thetford Garden Centre, the BTO's newest Corporate Member, the friends will have all the tools they need to help them in their task of improving habitats for some of the impressive wildlife found on the reserve. Otters and Kingfishers are regularly seen, sharing the reserve with Tawny and Barn Owls, Grass Snakes and Slow Worms, as well as several scarce Breckland plants, such as Tower Mustard and Mossy Stonecrop.
Gary Conway, Head of Fundraising at the BTO, was delighted by the enthusiastic response; "Sixty species of bird breed on the Thetford reserve with many more passing through or over-wintering, so it is great that so many local people have come forward to volunteer. Thanks to this new group of friends, we can make sure that the lakes and surrounding habitats are kept in good condition."
He added, "It is fantastic that Thetford Garden Centre have come on board. The additional tools they have provided mean that the volunteers will have everything they need to start work at the reserve, a valuable coming together of local volunteers and local business."
The friends will meet twice a month, on the first Wednesday and third Sunday.
If you would like to get involved please contact, the BTO on 01842 750050 or info [at] bto.org

Olfactory or Ooooh, That Smell
9 comments:
A strong chlorine smell still takes me back to the first time I had a season pass to the local community swimming pool. I was 9 years old. Ricky Nelson's Traveling Man played over and over on the jukebox (those teenage girls!) and my favorite snack was a frozen Milk Shake candy bar on a stick. I can close my eyes and be there!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes! I remember that smell as well. My favorite snack was peanuts in a coke. Yep, we put our peanuts in our coke bottles. Now I think that's disgusting. Ha! Thanks for sharing!Delete
OHHHHHHH What a lovely post!!! I was thinking along the same lines/things....I thought it would be silly if I posted something like that. Smiles-----thank you for being brave, wink. BlessingsReplyDeleteReplies
I did a whole series on Empty Nest last summer and covered all 5 senses. You should try it! It's really fun and people liked it. :) Thanks!Delete
- AnonymousApril 18, 2015 at 8:12 AM
Steak on the grill is summer. Sunscreen with coconut is summer. The wet pavement after a rain is summer. Pluff mud as you cross onto Sullivans Island is summer. And the sound of summer is rubber flip flops.ReplyDeleteReplies
Pluff mud just reminds me of Hugo. It was all over my mother's house and her clothes. I can still smell it sometimes. Maybe that's just because I didn't grow up around here. But the steak and sunscreen? Yes! :) Thanks for sharing!Delete
- AnonymousApril 18, 2015 at 9:20 AM
On clothes and in a house it would be gross. But that smell said "We are finally here!" and my mother rolled down the car windows to let it in. Sort of stinky but definitely summer. After an experience like yours, I imagine I wouldn't like it anymore!Delete
The smell that said, "We are finally here!" to my daughters was the fart factory- Westvaco- as we passed through North Charleston to Mount Pleasant. LOLDelete
Oh yeah there are many smells that take me back to my childhood, like the smell of Old Spice aftershave makes me think of dad all the timeReplyDelete

Free Range 2009 Graduate Art & Design Summer Shows started last week in The Old Brewery, Brick Lane. Free Range started since 2002, I joined in my final year in 2004. It is a only chance for all south London art & design graduates to show their work hoping to get in to the industry.
Here is the corner of Graphic Design: New Media (GDNM) from University of Creative Arts (It was called Surry Insitute of Art & Design when I studied there). Same old with loads of different mixed stuff but seems lacking of eyes catching work. Maybe new media is too broad for student to understand so after 3-4 years studies they end up going back to basic - purely graphic design with branding and illustration. To me new media should be blending the graphic work with new technology. Hope they do better next year.

* China scraps required reserves for settling forward yuan positions
* Also stopped requiring foreign banks to put aside reserves for offshore yuan deposits in China (Adds details, market reaction)
BEIJING, Sept 11 (Reuters) – China's central bank on Monday took steps to lower the cost of hedging the yuan as capital outflows ease and the currency strengthens, suggesting authorities are anxious to quash one way bets on the yuan as exporters come under increasing strain.
The People's Bank of China has scrapped reserve requirements for financial institutions settling foreign exchange forward yuan positions, it said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
The central bank also said it has stopped requiring foreign banks to put aside reserves for offshore yuan deposits in China.
Reuters, citing sources with direct knowledge of the matter, reported the removal of the reserve requirement related to forward yuan contracts on Friday, and reported the change to the yuan deposit rules on Monday morning.
The PBOC said the changes were made in consideration of current market conditions, and that the yuan strength against the dollar this year reflected the improvement of the Chinese economy.
"The short term impact of this is that there are now fewer restrictions on banks' dollar purchases," said Iris Pang, economist at ING, in a note to clients.
"One interpretation is that the pace of CNY appreciation has taken the PBoC, as well as the market by surprise. We believe that CNY appreciation will continue, but at a slower pace from now on."
China's central bank set the onshore yuan midpoint at 6.4997 per dollar on Monday, strengthening it beyond the key psychological 6.5 level for the first time since May 2016.
Despite the stronger midpoint, the offshore and onshore yuan were both trading below the 6.5 level on Monday.
The dollar also rose against the Chinese yuan, which pulled away from a 21-month high set on Friday. The yuan has gained over 7 percent so far this year, having more than made up the nearly 6.6 percent drop it suffered in 2016.

there is a side to saints that most folks will never see…
Posted: July 14, 2010 at 8:34 pm
they won't see it because they are not the one here from 6pm til 8am (plus more on my days off) 365 days a year. they are not the ones to feed every night and take everyone out for a pee, they do not sleep with them and carry on inane conversations with them, and act silly with them and not feel sorry for them every day of the year.
most folks are too dignified and cool to sing in a loud and audible, high pitched voice…"YOSHI-MON" like a fool…every time they enter the room. but then yoshi actually plays with me and i have never seen him play with anyone else. i see the pretty damn funny side of him not the pathetic old dog….and yoshi likes to play and act silly, he thinks it is fun.
Bonjour cheri, Je m'appelle Yoshi
doris is not much of a player tho but she does like to bark while i get yoshi going…she thinks because we are all happy anyway, we should go out in the yard for a pee….that is what makes doris happy.
but folks also do not get to see a lot of the stuff that scares me…like tonight…no one saw edith looking quiet and depressed and i know she is not well tonight.
no one saw ellie go to bed and start acting weird….i still am not sure what she was doing but it scared me enough to see it twice to think she might be starting to seizure.
maybe neither of them had enough water to drink today…the tub is full but maybe they did not come up to it to drink…anyway i am glad the vet is coming to see chewie tomorrow (who is also acting pretty weird) so i can get him to look at them and tell what he thinks.
some of the stuff is just feel good shit..like last night finding amos had dumped out his water and being able to fix it for him so he couldn't do it again. or finding billy with his water bottle flat on the floor (the holder is lost)…so i got something to tie it up with so he could have water whenever he wants.
and that is why i like to see each area and all of that areas animals every night..i can fix what got messed up, i can give whatever was forgotten..i can see who is well and who might not be and i can go to sleep at night knowing who is well, who is not, who ate their dinner and who did not..who was happy enough for a bit of game and who might be reaching the end of their days.
i mostly see the best of the animals because they mostly see the best of me…i have a cheerful, gently teasing, sense of odd humour and that makes them feel pretty good. i joke with them and i fondly call them bad names, (like moron, doorknob, dolt, mushroom, fatty boy, flat head, blind bat from hell, oaf, ox, klutzoid, toothless wonder, psychopath (griffin always wags his nose of a tail when i call him this name!), or in yoshi-mon's case..the one eyed little wingnut, he wags his tail at this one and hops up and down…..and don't ask me why they like it but they do…maybe they don't understand the words that i say…just the real joy in seeing them that comes out in my voice….and that makes them happy to see me too.
i have my bad moments when i yell at them in anger..but sadly that usually has little to do with them and more to do with me and my day.
but on the whole when it is just them and me…we are pretty damn happy….i like them and they like me and this is a very good thing…most of them would be happier in a real home, but if i can get a smile out of them at the end of the day…i guess that is ok… (for now at least)
and this is why no one will ever see what i do, every night of the year,,because from 5 pm til 8 the next morning..it is just me and them finishing off our day together.
gideon let me kiss his face three times tonight …..i am usually lucky if he lets me do it even once…..and i know he was just cheerfully humoring me (he thinks i am a very silly and childish human) but it was still pretty cool….so thank you gideon for letting me act like a fool….three times in a row!

Some people hate reading. Sometimes the problem is that it is just impossible to find a good book, or that the book is too long. Luckily for those who are interested in reading, there are resources for them to look at. This list will help you ease into the world of good young adult books.
1- Everland by Wendy Spinale
Everland is a retelling of Peter Pan with dystopian and steampunk elements. It is a thrilling tale filled with suspense, love, and adventure. It tells the story of Gwen and Pete and their struggle to survive the harsh environment of "Everland." Pete is the leader of a rowdy underground society of boys, while Gwen is an orphan whose only goal is to survive and protect her younger brother and sister. However, everything changes when Gwen's sister is taken by the Marauders, a group of pirates who search for children in hopes of curing the disease that killed all the adults in the country. Everland is a great story for fans of the fairytale retelling genre. The characters are loveable and well-developed. Gwen and Pete have a strong relationship and Wendy Spinale frequently teases her readers. Also, if you enjoy Everland, its sequel Umberland comes out May 9, 2017.
2- Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
In the world of Red Queen, the kingdom is divided by blood. The Red Bloods work and protect their kingdom as they are fearful of the powerful, god-like Silver bloods, who have ruled the kingdom for centuries. As the first book of the Red Queen Trilogy, the plot follows 17 year-old Red Blood, Mare Barrow, as she struggles to survive within the elite Silver court. When Mare poses as the prince's fiancee, she realizes she must hide her power and pretend to be a Silver. Red Queen is a book for newbies in the YA community. It is a standard fantasy/sci-fi book with elements of romance and action. Similar to the Divergent or Hunger Games Trilogies, Red Queen focuses on the growth of the dynamic female protagonist and promotes female-empowerment.
3- Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige
Dorothy Must Die is about the other girl from Kansas, Amy Gumm. Amy's life in Kansas is less than fabulous, but everything changes when she is swept up by a twister and transported to the land of Oz. The only problem is that this Oz is not all rainbows and musical numbers, it's a desolate place ruled by an evil dictator- Dorothy Gale. In this tale, the once-beloved witch slayer of Oz and her companions have turned evil. With the help of a society for the wicked, Amy must assassinate Dorothy and her friends. One warning: Do not go into this book if you have a weak stomach. This book is intensely filled with gore. Danielle Paige leaves out no details when it comes to action scenes. As the first book of three (and soon to be four), it lays out a grand picture of what Oz is and what Amy is going to have to go through. It is packed full of witty dialogue and action. It is definitely one of the most descriptive books in terms of scenery and action.

All stories are in now! Good luck to everyone that participated.
Monthly Archives: October 2014
Hello Everyone!!!
Bertie asked me to make a post to remind you guys to have your entries in by midnight tonight. Thankfully, she is on AZ time, so you have some time to get them in!!! I seriously cannot wait to see and read these stories!!!
As it is, I'm thrilled to be able to remind your guys. It may sound so little, but I love contests like this, and I know the sentences had MamaKittyinaz telling me to stop reading, and Mr. Kittyinaz loving them and we discussing them. I have heard hints of what is coming, and even Mr. Kittyinaz is waiting for these stories! (rare!)
So get them in, and we will hear back from Bertie soon for more information.
Due to a health scare, I'm currently facing surgery. I will return to my writing ASAP. At the moment I must face RL. Thank you for your patience.
NEW INFO: Surgery to be November 5th. Once again thank you for your patience! My fans know I WILL BE BACK! I will NOT BE QUITTING! No worries there!
Support the OTW!
Thank you!
Hi Everyone,
This isn't a post about a story. It's not really an update to my plagiarism throwdown either.
But it's something really important that affects all of us in the fan fiction community. When this whole thing went down with my work being stolen, I was totally adrift. Everyone had an opinion about my rights and what I was able to do or not do, and I can tell you right now that 95% of those people–though well-intentioned–were way off base.
It really frightened me that, as creators, none of us seemed to know how to protect ourselves, should someone come along, read our stories, like what they see, and simply take it, tweak, slap it between two covers and sell it for their own gain. Lots of people voiced that I'm not a real author since I'm "infringing" on the AB and CH copyrights. Several said that, sure…

I scared you, didn't I???
Updates for BOTH stories to be up during the weekend, but I wanted to remind everyone about the Halloween writing contest. Just 8 days left to submit and I'm looking forward to being too scared to get a drink of water in the middle of the night! Please share this post to help spread the word and for those of you who have already submitted, go ahead and use the banner below to tease your readers – it's fun, trust me 😉
Happy haunting!

Thank you!
Just a shout out to those that have been helping me 4padfoot, Bertie Bott, Mommy4Thomas, and Kittyinaz. I really appreciate all your help.
Welcome to my new WordPress page. A few of you may know me from Fanfiction.net. That's where I first started writing fanfiction stories. Only do to the rules and a bad experience with plagiarism/stalker like situations with a certain member and constantly being reported and having my stories deleted; I've decided to move. I will no longer post to fanfiction.net.
I would like to thank my readers/fans from the fanfiction site however. It means a lot that you would follow me here and continue reading my stories.
You can also follow me at https://www.facebook.com/HarleyLikesToWrite?ref=hl… There you will get update notices and know when I'm about to work on a new story!
As some of you already know. I absolutely love crossover stories. That is a majority of what I write. If you scroll down you will see many pictures/gifs of the crossovers I've already done or are currently working on. I found that once I started I couldn't stop. Crossovers especially comic book related are what I am known for.
Take caution! When reading my material you should expect language, violence, SEX (Lemons), alcohol usage, on rare occasion's drug usage and abuse. Two things you'll never have to concern yourself with, when reading my material. Rape and Cheating! Rape maybe insinuated but never be in detail. It's not something I take lightly and is a touchy subject. I will NOT be diving deeply into that. Cheating, now when I say that, I mean my MAIN couples will never cheat on the other. I do not mean cheating will never take place. It may very well, only not between the couple my story is targeted on. Also there might be same sex pairings depending on the story or possible (threesomes). I will put a warning on the stories containing such a pairing or event. I've not written any currently, but it could very well be in the future.
Bella is my main heroine and keep in mind my Bella is Emmy Rossum, depending on the story and pairing.
And finally:
Deadpool: Ok I'm getting reeeeeeaaaallly freaking agitated now!
Author: (sighing exasperatedly) What is it now Deadpool?
Deadpool: I should have tapped that by now!
Author: And what is it you're referring to now?
Deadpool: OH come on do I have to spell it out for you? I mean you are the author after all!
Author:(irritated… looking up from what she's already working on) This had better be important I got a lot of work to do.
Deadpool: Fine, you're kind of bitchy you know that?!
Author: Dually noted!
Deadpool: I'm just saying isn't it moooorrrreee than obvious; that I should have hooked up with Bella, in the Fire and Brimstone story.
Author:(Rolling of eyes) Haven't we discussed this very issue before? Bella isn't going to cheat!
Deadpool: I'm not saying cheat. I'm merely saying she should realize I'm the better option. I mean seriously! You've already hooked her up with freaking Nightcrawler (King of Blue Man Group), Spiderman(He's sooo gay), that idiot Farmboy that loves flannel! (Superdouche!), and now that patriotic idiot Captain Underpants?!…
Author: First of all Nightcrawler is not even in the Blue Man Group. I don't even think he can sing. Spiderman is the furthest thing from gay; you'd come closer than he would, The Farmboy you're referring to; could rip you in half like a phonebook and his name is Superman! And the patriot you speak of is America's hero; watch your back or you may find yourself, with an angry mob of Captain America fans. (Evil grin) You seem to have forgotten one…
Deadpool: (Looks around the room. He flips through the TV channels now.) Nope pretty sure that's it.
Author: Nope I'm currently working on that story right now. His name is staring me right in the face.
Deadpool: Haven't a clue what you're referring to.
Author: I tell you what… I'm going to hook you up with Bella…
Deadpool: (Perking up. He turns off the TV) Really?!
Author: (Mischievious grin) Yes, but there's one condition.
Deadpool: And what might that be.
Author: You have to kill someone!
Deadpool: (Happily rubbing hands together) Now that's a girl after my own heart. I'd love to! WHO?!
Author: The Wolverine…
Author: That's right… As soon as you can kill The Wolverine. I will write a Deadpool/Bella story! You will finally get to tap that.
Deadpool: BITCH!
Author: Once again touché!
Deadpool: (Shoots off the chair. He rushes to the door in a hissy fit.) You cruel VILE…
Author: Watch it… I'll write you right out of any story I do next!
Deadpool: You wouldn't!
Author: Try me! I'll write you right out of existence! Hell, I might have EMBER KILL YOU OFF!
Deadpool: YOU SUCK!
Author: And you swallow!
Deadpool: Damn… I love you! Call me sometime, baby! But seriously… When do I get the hookup? (He peeks through the door; on the way out)
Author: I already stipulated the circumstances.
Deadpool: FINE!!! (Slams door and takes off on an electric red and black scooter)
Deadpool argument part II
Author: What is it now Wade?
Deadpool: (Sighs)
Author: Come on now… what is it?
Deadpool: I miss Stella
Author: (Rearing back in wonder and stops typing) What do you mean you miss Stella?
Deadpool: She up and left me and filed for divorce. She doesn't even remember who I am!
Author: No she didn't! See! (Shows him the ending to Stealing Twilight's Swan again)
Deadpool: (Shaking his head) No, I'm telling you look!
Author: (Narrows eyes at the divorce paper in hand)
Deadpool: (Wiping eyes, yes with the mask still on) I miss the bewbs! And Ryyyaaannnn keeps pissing himself and…
Author: (Sighing) This is written in crayon. I can clearly tell this is your doing!
Deadpool: IS NOT!
Author: IS TOO!
Deadpool: NOT!
Author: IS! YOU IDIOT MERC!
Deadpool: I have feelings you know!
Author: (lifting eyes towards him with full on agitation) Wade hun, the only feelings you have, are below the belt. Knock it off ! I'm busy. Can you not see the 12 unfinished stories, I'm currently working on! I already did yours! Now shut up and eat your damn chimichanga!
Deadpool: (Kicks at desk and folds arms about his chest. Continues to sigh.)
Author: (Gritting teeth) WOULD YOU STOP THAT!
Deadpool: Stop what?
Author: That annoying sighing bullshit! I CAN'T F'THINK.
Deadpool: Pffft who needs that. (Takes what she's currently working on and rips it in half)
Author: WHAT THE FUCK?! GET OUT! OUT! OUT! OUT!
Deadpool: Say it, don't spray it! (Lowers head and sulks. He heads outside and hops on his scooter)
Author: (Sighs and pinches bridge of nose. Starts on her current story. Only to look at her screen… You stupid, stupid, son of a bitch ass MERC! Grabs pen and begins writing notes for Stealing Twilight's Swan part II)
I'm sure, I'll mix it up more and come up with other idea's, but that's about it for now. Why Bella in some of these? Because, I'd love nothing more, than to see Edward Cullen, get his ass handed to him by some of these guys. Whilst, I enjoy me a bowl of popcorn and have me a nice cold beer. Insert maniacal laughter here.

LASPE Newsletter
January 2000
Letter form the Chair... Vivian K. Bust
Here's wishing everyone a joyous and prosperous first New Year of the 21st Century. At the December 7th Membership Roundup luncheon, portraits of industry success were painted by top-level executives participating on the Independent Oil Management panel. Discussed were how their acquisition, exploitation and operational strategies have resulted in company growth and increased profits. Emphasized was the importance of finding new reserves using 3D geologic modeling and visualization to discover new faults and new areas for prospects. And, introduced was the DOGGR electronic communication system for oil and gas operators to expedite processing of permits. The executives stressed the importance of improving community relations to enhance opportunities to receive government approval for development and production of oil field properties. In the Los Angeles Basin, our future profitability involves more than traditional technical and financial issues, as community relations continue to play a significant role.
This is the 6th year that LASPE has sponsored Community Outreach programs. To celebrate, a skit was presented by Outreach Chair, Ed Santiago, and five 5th Grade students from the International Elementary School of Long Beach (see photo). The skit was a representation of the Essay and Art Poster program presented to schools. In this program, students write stories and create art work that depict the benefits of petroleum in their daily lives. The student posters displayed at the luncheon were previously on display at their schools and the city of Long Beach Public Library (see photo). The International Elementary School Principal, Ms. Jonette Newton, spoke about the importance of the SPE Community Outreach program to their students and teachers and she encouraged further involvement of working partnerships between industry and education.
Scholarship Chair, John Jepson, awarded the SPE scholarships which totaled $8,500 to eleven students participating in petroleum engineering programs at USC and CSULB (see photo). The winners of these scholarships were determined based on scholastic achievement, SPE involvement, volunteerism and industry experience. The USC scholarship winners under Dr. Iraj Ershaghi were: Ali Fakhari, Sally Morton, Frank Fernandez, Mohammad Haroun, Pouya Amili and Jose Arias. The CSULB scholarship winners under Dr. Jalal Torabzadeh were: Montserat Martin, Jason McEntire, Sean Bao Vuu, Rebecca Williams and Hoang P. Dinh. Photos of scholarship winners are shown inside the newsletter.
Let me thank our Board members, the Petroleum Technology Forum and the West Coast PTTC for their contributions to the Membership Roundup luncheon. With over 90 people attending, we are starting off the new millennium in great style. Thank you.
Lots of work remains, so please consider contributing your time and/or abilities to help make this meeting a success - less than six months remain between now and this historic meeting!

The GyakushuMekagoji (逆襲メカゴジ?) is the Mechagodzilla suit design used in the 1975 Godzilla film, Terror of Mechagodzilla.
The GyakushuMekagoji's name comes from Terror of Mechagodzilla's Japanese title, specifically the word gyakushū (逆襲?) meaning counterattack, and Mekagoji, which comes from Mechagodzilla's Japanese name, Mekagojira (メカゴジラ?).
The GyakushuMekagoji's appearance is very similar to that of its predecessor, the ShodaiMekagoji, and without close examination could look virtually identical to it. In comparison to its predecessor, this suit has longer finger missiles, one big metal piece on its hand plate, a more defined and prominent shoulder frill, one silver button on the chest, one silver button underneath the chest cannon, and two silver buttons above the crotch.
In addition to these differences, it possesses a triangle underneath the chest cannon, two lightning-like pieces coming up the chest, sharp spurs that stick out of the back of the feet, knee plates that get really small and thin half way and go around the back, a smooth and solid tail blade with three big bolts in it, V-shaped plates on the tail, and blue and orange "MG2" initials on its arms that stand for "Mecha Godzilla 2", thus giving it the name Mechagodzilla 2 (メカゴジラ2?) Mekagojira Tsu[1].
- This suit reuses the same headpiece from the ShodaiMekagoji, but features a completely newly-constructed body and paint job.
- The GyakushuMekagoji is the oldest suit known to still be intact, as it has been put on display numerous times since the start of the new millennium. However, it appears that Toho pieced together remaining parts of both Mechagodzilla suits, as the preserved suit's chest and crotch are from the ShodaiMekagoji.

Technology has changed how we communicate, watch television and travel the globe. This week, Capitol Hill staffers will be able to enjoy how technology has upgraded their afternoon Snickers bar experience.
The National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) is planning to debut a "digi-touch" vending machine for congressional officials in the Cannon Caucus Room on Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon.
The digi-touch looks and acts like the Apple iPad, and while the touch-screen vending technology debuted several months ago it has yet to make its way into businesses across the county.
After making an initial selection on the giant screen, users can read the nutritional information of the selected goodies before making their purchase. (And perhaps feel guilty enough to choose something more nutritious than a candy bar.)
Final selections twirl around on the screen before dropping down to the bottom like a normal vending machine. Does this guarantee that your snack of choice won't get stuck in the machine? Not exactly, but hey, it's an upgrade (although not quite as futuristic as the ipad tower pictured here)
A NAMA spokesman told ITK that the company that makes the digi-touch would be thrilled if the machines were installed on Capitol Hill. In the meantime, they're content just to give lawmakers and staffers a chance to interact with the next wave of snacking technology.

An easy-to-use EEG cap could expand the number of ways to interact with your mobile devices.
One day, we may be able to check e-mail or call a friend without ever touching a screen or even speaking to a disembodied helper. Samsung is researching how to bring mind control to its mobile devices with the hope of developing ways for people with mobility impairments to connect to the world. The ultimate goal of the project, say researchers in the company's Emerging Technology Lab, is to broaden the ways in which all people can interact with devices.
In collaboration with Roozbeh Jafari, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas, Dallas, Samsung researchers are testing how people can use their thoughts to launch an application, select a contact, select a song from a playlist, or power up or down a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. While Samsung has no immediate plans to offer a brain-controlled phone, the early-stage research, which involves a cap studded with EEG-monitoring electrodes, shows how a brain-computer interface could help people with mobility issues complete tasks that would otherwise be impossible.

What are the extra straps in the roof box for?
Posted by , Last modified by Charlotte @ The Roof Box Company on 17 February 2015 11:05 AM
You will find most of the roof boxes we sell are delivered with a set of straps with the fitting kit and we offer them as an alternative freebie with any of our roof boxes. But what these for?
These are luggage straps. Alongside the fitting which mount the box on the car you will also find most boxes have either a loop on these fittings or a sepereate individual fixture. By feeding the straps through the loops and and around your luggage you will be able to secure the items down. These are particularly useful when you are only part-filling the box as it can stop items 'rolling'.

Astonish everyone at your Halloween party with the Jack Skellington and Sally costumes, a classic couple costume for Halloween.

Sally is the sensible character in the film, but is too shy to show how she really feels for Jack. Slip on these costumes then embrace and kiss under the moonlight. If you miss the unmistakably Burton-esque atmosphere of the Nightmare Before Christmas, Jack Costumes and Sally Costumes are the perfect way to get into the Halloween Spirit. After all, what could be more appropriate than dressing up as the Pumpkin King on Halloween night?

Following the success of his debut single, "FCKD IT UP" (which we premiered here on Sidewalk Hustle), Toronto's own Langston Francis has returned with his second release – a dreamy and bouncy pop track titled "Fall From Grace."
The single was produced by Toronto production duo Pops and Mikhail and co-written by Francis himself. We called his debut a "breath of fresh air" and this new track showcases a natural evolution of the melodies and lyricism from "FCKD IT UP." Whether you catch this on the radio or at a school dance, it is going to get stuck in your head.
Listen to "Fall From Grace" below.
"Fall From Grace" received an exclusive world premiere earlier this week from Toronto radio station 93.5 FM The Move during their MADE IN T6RONTO TAKEOVER which featured only Toronto artists from 6:00 am until midnight.
