While many used eBay to buy items they might want or need, some items were being sold that raised many eyebrows as they were either a little bit strange or crazily expensive. People believed you could buy and sell anything on eBay and these items certainly put that theory to the test.
Doomsday house
If you haven't already turned your basement into your emergency fallout bunker, then there is still time (hopefully). One eBay user decided they would rather rely on someone else's building skills to get them through until the end of time so found the listing for this doomsday house. The bunker used to be a missile silo base but was converted into a house with the ultimate safety bunker below. Realtors put the house up for auction on eBay, and it sold for $2.1 million.
Broken laser pointer
This is actually the very first item ever sold on eBay. It is a broken laser pointer that was listed as a test by one of the programmers working on the software. People found it and started bidding on the item that the programmer was planning on throwing away once they had finished with the tests they were running. Bids kept coming in, and it eventually sold for $14.83 to a laser pointer collector who didn't care that it was broken.
Brussel sprouts are a love them or hate them food, and one British man didn't love his. Instead of eating and finishing them, he decided to sell his unwanted vegetables on eBay. The sprouts fetched a fee of $150, which the seller donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Sprouts are a smelly food at the best of times, but the seller put as a note to bidders that they come from a home with pets and smokers so they shouldn't expect them to smell nice on arrival.
Ghost in a jar
Once it became known that people were willing to buy pretty much anything, there were soon a host of crazy listings on eBay. One of the most unusual has to be the ghost in a jar. Perhaps it was near Halloween, and people wanted to scare their friends with this ghoulish jar. Bids reached an incredible $55,000, although the winning bidder never paid. The seller left a disclaimer that they couldn't be held responsible if the buyer let the ghost out and it started wreaking havoc.
Ad space
A woman from Salt Lake City, Utah, offered her forehead to would-be advertisers. She was willing to allow any advertisers to tattoo their advert on her skin for the minimum price of $10,000. Some might think she sold herself a bit short because it wasn't long before an online casino met the minimum offer price. The woman had the website goldenpalace.com inked onto her face even though the tattoo artist reportedly did their best to talk her out of getting it done.
Unassembled snowman
This item is for those who don't like to have their purchases arrive readymade. Hoping to cash in on someone's goodwill, the lister put a minimum price of $10 million on the widely available resource. The money that would be raised was going to go to a local hospice, and it was an ambitious attempt at raising money for a good cause. Unfortunately the price was a little high for just some snow so this particular item didn't manage to reach the minimum bid price.
Private jet
The saying goes that pretty much anything is available on eBay and internet shoppers with enough cash could have bought their very own private jet. In 2001 this Gulfstream II became the most expensive item sold at the time, it went for $4.9 million. There have been some private jets on eBay that belonged to some of the world's richest and most famous including the jets of John Travolta and assassinated President, John F. Kennedy.
French toast
This wasn't just any old French toast though, this was Justin Timberlake's leftover French toast. Justin Timberlake didn't finish his breakfast one day and someone had the wherewithal to go and retrieve it before it ended up in the trash for good. The partially eaten toast sold for $1,025 in 2000, reportedly a super keen 19-year-old fan bought the toast as a keepsake. We wonder if the owner of the toast ever ate it or if it is still sitting in someone's house growing moldier by the day.
Home run ball
Barry Bonds is a legend in the sport of baseball, he made over 700 home runs during his professional career. Lots of those home run balls have ended up going to auction, one fetched a huge $220,100 back in 2006. The most expensive home run ball hit by Barry Bonds went for an astronomical $750,000. That ball must have pride of place in someone's collection of sports memorabilia as they paid a colossal fee for it.
Ferrari Enzo
One of the rarest cars that motorheads collect is the Ferrari Enzo. There were only 399 of the Italian supercars ever made and the prices of the remaining vehicles just keep soaring. Back in 2004 a Ferrari Enzo sold for a high price of $1 million. Guttingly the second place bidder was just $55 dollars away from the final bid price. Something they must still be regretting as recent valuations of the car have been as high as $3.2 million.
Imaginary friend
This seems like the seller's attempt at making something out of nothing. One woman from London had listed her imaginary friend on the auction site, apparently on her psychiatrist's recommendation. The seller was finally saying goodbye to her imaginary friend, Bernard, and possibly making a buck or two in the process. As an added bonus she wasn't going to charge any shipping to the successful bidder. While the price is a mystery, another person sold their imaginary friend in 2007 for $2,750.
Grilled cheese
There are many people out there who love grilled cheese sandwiches. The gooey cheese combined with the crunchiness of the toast makes for an incredible culinary combination. This piece of a grilled cheese sandwich bears a resemblance to Mary, the mother of Jesus, which helped gain some serious interest in the toast. The sandwich went for $28,000 in 2004. It was reportedly magical because it had been around for years and hadn't shown any signs of growing moldy yet.
Pope's hat
It seems as though goldenpalace.com spent a lot of their time browsing eBay to find strange things to buy. They bought the grilled cheese sandwich previously and the advertising space on the woman's forehead too. They also bought this Dorito that had formed to look like the Pope's hat. The tortilla chip sold for $1,209 and the online casino were happy to add the strange item to their growing collection of eccentric artifacts.
The cursed duck
Initially, it may seem as though a rubber duck is a fairly standard purchase on eBay, it is quirky, yet you could still use it if you wanted to. This duck being sold, however, had one quality other rubber ducks couldn't offer. It was cursed. The duck sold for $107.50 which is incredible when you consider in the description it claimed the duck was capable of possessing children. We're guessing this duck wasn't bought by a responsible parent.
Britney's gum
People can be obsessed with their favorite celebrities and will do almost anything to get closer to them. One eBay seller somehow came into possession of pop star Britney Spears' used chewing gum, and, instead of throwing it in the trash, decided they would sell it to anyone willing to pay good money for it. This piece of chewed gum actually sold for a remarkable $14,000. We aren't sure what the person did with it as it's not something you'd invite people over to come and look at.

The newly formed Samajwadi Secular Morcha's founder shocked everyone by sharing the stage with the Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav on Friday at Lohia Trust office.
Last month, Shivpal Yadav, brother of Mulayam Singh Yadav split from Samajvadi Party to protect his "honour" and formed Samajwadi Secular Morcha party.
The two leaders belonging to different parties, in fact, anti-parties were sitting together on the stage.
The Samajwadi rebel, Shivpal had organized an event to pay tributes to Dr Ram Manohar Lohia on the socialist leader's death anniversary at the trust office.
Mulayam Singh said "Injustice must always be opposed. If a brother does injustice to a younger brother than that must also be opposed. Such were the thoughts and philosophies of Dr Lohia and I agree with this. Wherever there is an instance of injustice, be it a family, a village, a city, a voice must be raised against it. Lohia always sided with justice and always opposed injustice." while addressing the gathering present.
Shivpal Yadav even showed his love and respect for his brother and said that Netaji's (Mulayam's) blessing was always with them and he follows his brother's ideals. He added that the presence of Netaji and ethos would cultivate changes in the state and country.
Mulayam Singh Yadav had been always seen with his son and party president Akhilesh Yadav. He even accompanied his son in Delhi at Jantar Mantar at the end of a cycle rally by the party in New Delhi last month. But this is the first time the SP founder was seen with the Shivpal Yadav after the party splits into two.
Mr Shivpal was sidelined by the party since Akhilesh Yadav took over the party leadership in 2016.
Surprisingly both the parties, the Samajwadi Party and Samajwadi Secular Morcha shares the same icon. Lohia had been SP's icon and even Shivpal has been projecting Lohia as his SSM's icon.

Civil War history, rowdy saloon tall tales, and, of course, an incredible cheeseburger. Is Phillips Grocery in Holly Springs the best diner in all Mississippi?
We're suckers for a greasy spoon diner. We're also suckers for mom and pop places with old advertising antiques, funky nostalgic decor, and a unique history. Well, Phillips Grocery in Holly Springs, Mississippi definitely checks all the boxes.
Opened in 1882 as a saloon by Confederate veteran Oliver Quiggins, the unassuming little two-story building quickly became a bustling place as it served folks from the historically significant Mississippi Central Train Station just on the other side of the road (More on that later).
While we were visiting, we heard tall tales of everything from roaming ghosts to other "lucrative" businesses that ran in the upstairs rooms of the original saloon. It seems this place has an official and colorful "unofficial" history.
[the_ad id="4952″]
While we can't confirm any of the tall tales told by front-porch sitting old-timers, we can tell you the saloon was forced to convert to a grocery store during Prohibition. In 1948, W.L. Phillips purchased the grocery that now bears his name and decided to offer up tasty hamburgers in addition to the grocery staples.
Today, the groceries are gone, but the burgers still keep people flocking to this hidden gem.
And, boy, do we see why they flock. The burger we had was absolutely one of the best we've ever tried- simple, cooked perfectly, and just the right size. The burger was made even better by the tater tots and root beer in the bottle we got with it.
When you stop by Phillips Grocery in Holly Springs, be sure to check the handwritten chalkboard menu to see what sounds good. While we didn't have time or stomach space for anything else, we're told the fried okra is incredible as well as they're fried pies.
The food is reason enough to make a trip to Phillips Grocery, but the whole rustic, retro feel of the place is what really pushes it over the top to make it one of our favorite diners. Add in its history and you really have one of the very best burger joints of the south.
[the_ad id="4952″]
Oh, and remember when we mentioned the Mississippi Central Train Station? Yeah, it's got quite the history, too. It was here where the infamous Van Dorn Raid of the Civil War came to a head.
The train depot and its warehouses were ground zero for Confederate General Earl Van Dorn's raid on Holly Springs in 1862. General Van Dorn and his men successfully thwarted the Union's attempts to use Holly Springs to launch Union supply lines further into Mississippi by either confiscating or burning nearly everything in the town, even torching the train depot. Today, a plaque outside the depot marks the raid of Holly Springs as the train station sits mostly shuttered. (Side note: the raid would be the highlight of Van Dorn's military career as he was killed less than 6 months later by the husband of a woman with whom Van Dorn was having an affair.)
At the end of the day, a trip to Phillips Grocery brings together everything you hope to find in a small, southern town diner. If you like your burgers with a little nostalgia and plenty of history and local lore, you'll be glad you found Phillips Grocery in Holly Springs, Mississippi.

About Rolf Harris
- Birthday 11/30/1975
Your Golf Game
Handicap Index
Is unsolicited advice to a golfer helpful?
Rolf Harris replied to club ho's topic in Golf TalkAs a general rule I'd say don't offer advice if you're ginger. My mate kenny does this all the time and I'm surprised no one's drowned him.
How do you deal with the 'Gimme' players?
Rolf Harris replied to jbest's topic in Rules of GolfCan anyone sum this up for me I fell asleep early on.
2010 Ryder Cup Result
Rolf Harris replied to Ash1974's topic in Tour TalkThis made me laugh from the LOS ANGELES TIMES: 'In a competition with an overwhelming aroma of nationalism, Europe had defeated the big 'ol, rich USA, which is always special for Europe. European sports fans like that a lot. USA fans, with so many more things to choose from and be loyal to, are less invested.' Classic taste of sour grapes there. I'd be interested to hear what these many more things were, that the poor little Europeans can't choose from and be loyal to. I also wonder how much investment they think would have been invested had team USA achived the extra half point?
How do you think Tiger will be treated at the British Open?
Rolf Harris replied to bigoak's topic in Tour TalkBy 'British Open' I assume you mean 'The Open'?
Best golf psychology books
Rolf Harris replied to doctork's topic in Golf TalkIt's Rotella for you then my firiend. His major focal points are the fear of putting which effect a lot of golfers. His books have definitely helped with my putting, but you have to commit to what he says and be brave.
Putting the driver away
Rolf Harris replied to golfaddiction's topic in Golf TalkThis issue has been the major revelation in my game this year so far. Up until February I'd always considered my driver to be my favourite and most reliable club. However, I've recently done some club by club stat analysis and it seems that I've been finding the fairways only 60% of the time with my driver and for the remaining 40% (which consitutes 3-6 shots) I've been getting penalised at least a shot per hole sometimes two. So, recently on holes under 420y I've been taking 5 wood off the tee which is far more forgiving and has become my 'go to' club. I'm hitting fairways with 80-90% accuracy meaning that it's costing me just 1-3 shots per round rather than 3-6. I've broken 80 twice in my last four rounds, whereas last year I broke 80 just 4 times all year. So it's making a big difference.
I've had Ping Eye 2's for 8 years (up until last year). They're great clubs from 3 - 9 but I stopped using the sand & pitching wedge ages ago. They're useless in my opinion. The sole is far too big, causes too much bounce, they're not a club for a top quality golfer who needs precision around the green, Mickleson probably already knows this.
Martin Kaymer - The Next Big Thing?
Rolf Harris replied to Sandy Sammy's topic in Tour TalkThat's exactly the personality you need to be the best. He's pure German reliability and I couldn't agree more, he's going to be a big star.
The Celtic Manor 2010 Course - oh hell yeah
Rolf Harris posted a topic in Tour TalkWay too early to start up the Ryder Cup fever but not too early to talk about the course itself. I played it a few weeks back and it goes straight in at No.1 as the best UK course I've played (admittedly not the most extensive list). The back nice especially has some of the most wondefully designed risk and reward holes, which is clearly why it's being billed as the consumate matchplay course. If they use a little imagination with the tee box choices on the par 4's it's going to make for a hell of a spectacle, especially for the fourballs. I've played the Brabazon (Belfry) which (in my opinion) has one if not two of the finest holes in world golf, but the 2010 course has at least 6 that equal if not better them. I can't wait until October 1st.
Class - that'll teach him
The bit that winds me up the most is the belittlement of that great moment with Jacklin & Nicklaus. He reckons (as many do) that Nicklaus should have made him putt it, but for me, what big Jack did was transcend the match they were playing and even the Ryder Cup istelf. No one would have remembered 30 years later whether Jacklin had holed it or not, but every golfer has an opinion on the gimmie. For me that shows a mutual respect between highly competitive sportsmen and a jesture that says 'we're taking the trophy home regardless, so a half is the fair result considering what a great match we've had'. He made the Ryder Cup an even greater event with that jesture and made match play golf an even more attractive format for the ameteur.
Best Shot of the Week
Rolf Harris replied to iacas's topic in Golf TalkI hit a 3 iron over water from 190y into a headwind to 6 foot....... ....and of course i missed the putt
surely Pros aren't so shallow
Rolf Harris replied to FHopper's topic in Tour TalkKenny Perry sure isn't shallow going by that picture - he's got a trophy ex-basket ball player
The Gimmie
Rolf Harris posted a topic in Tour TalkI'm not sure if this has been covered before but here goes anyway. A colleague of mine who plays off 12 has decided that he will not concede a putt unless it's literally hanging over the hole. The result is a fairly painstaking round where every member of the fourball is required to mark their balls and line up >2 foot putts. His rationale is fair enough but my opinion is that he's completely missing the point of matchplay golf between fellow gentlemen. An exert from a recent e-arguement is below for your reference. I'd be very interested to hear your views on the topic. HIM: At the risk of re-opening the whole gimme debate (which is exactly what I am now doing) it really struck me this weekend - where some of the greens were treacherous (by our usual standards) - that a gimme is supposed to be where there is minute-to-zero chance that the other player would miss - hence my yardstick of "if you would be happy to knock that in one handed then its a gimme". Unless being used purely as a gamesmanship tactic, a gimme is not supposed to be a gift to someone who actually still has a bit to do (even if it is probable that he will sink it). The problem is (your problem is) we get used to seeing the pros give gimmes of several feet, but they are pros - amateurs playing on tricky greens with double-figure h'caps can't guarantee sinking a 2 footer across a slope where a miss might take the ball 6 feet past. That's a large part of the skill - and enjoyment - of golf, so play the shot. If we are simply saving time by precluding the need to tap in (literally), no problem - even I give gimmes for that - but for goodness sake, if some skill is still required, get on with the game and finish the hole. ME: You are still completely missing the point of gimmies. It's simply a gentlemanly way of saying to your opponent 'I don't reckon you'll miss that (if you took your time and lined it up as you would a normal putt) but seeing as it's so small and I want to get on with my putt (or the next hole) then I'm going to respect your skills as a golfer and offer an friendly olive branch by giving you that putt in the spirit of the game' You are right there are no guarantees the opponent would get it but I'd rather concede a putt than have an opponent casually feel the need to hole it without lining it up and miss it. That, to me would feel like a hollow win. In the same vein I'd rather concede a put than wait around for him to line it up and then hole it because that to me is just cold hearted, mean pedantic golf that I don't particularly enjoy. Also in the same vein I would expect my opponent to treat me with the same level of respect. It's the spirit of the game that is social competitive golf (not competition medal play) - THIS IS THE POINT THAT YOU ARE REFUSING TO ACCEPT There are of course certain situations when gamesmanship comes into play as previously discussed and also if a 1- 2 footer was to win the hole rather than half or lose it then I'd be less inclined to concede it.I] HIM: I can certainly see the rationale. However, sport is sport and in no other sport I play would it be contemplated that someone would be afforded a result that they had not in fact achieved, as a form of "never mind, have it anyway". As I have said before, I would be ANNOYED if my opponent kept giving me gimmes and preventing me from finishing the hole (literal tap-ins aside). That is all part of the enjoyment, and possibly one of the more satisfying aspects of playing - I don't want an assessment and approval from someone that I am this good or that bad and them deciding what I might or might not achieve: let me achieve it (or not) (and vice versa). It is the indignation and the "well, I never..." of a gimme not being given that so amuses and annoys me. If it's given, great: if it isn't, nothing is being implied or any offence being given. Get on with it. Trying to emulate Jacklin and Nicklaus' example is frankly ridiculous. The gesture was precisely because the consequences of missing were so huge (millions watching, historic event etc) and possibly life-altering - and therefore a very magnanimous gesture indeed and to be commended in that context. When we play, a missed putt hopefully won't have that effect, so if its not given go ahead and putt and suck it up if you miss.
First Match Play - Advice Please?
Rolf Harris replied to 2bGood's topic in Golf Talkmatch play is the most enjoyable and exciting way to compete in my opinion. The best thing i've found is that you need to ignore what your opponent is doing and just try to get yourself a par. If you start thinking 'oh i may only need a bogey to win this hole' then you get in the wrong mindset and you end up halving or losing the hole. Go for pars on every hole.

Grown by Grace farm is the name of our 14 acre homestead in Iowa. We came up with this name as it is our desire to grow by God's grace here, whether it be our babies, 4 kitties and a woof, crops, or gardens! Jon and I are both born again christians, which means we have a "new life" in Jesus Christ as we recognize Him as Savior of our sins, by His death and resurrection from the cross.

Andrew's Features Grilled Cheese and Beer Pairing
Mar 27, 2019 09:11PM
By Jeanne Fratello
Ready to try something new? Expand your palate this weekend with a special Grilled Cheese and Beer Pairing event at Andrew's Cheese Shop in downtown Manhattan Beach.
The event - to be held at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 30 - will give guests the opportunity to try four varieties of grilled cheese and beers, along with a few extra treats. Tickets to the event are $60.
The tasting will begin with a farmers' market salad, followed by four courses of Andrew's famous grilled cheeses. The grilled cheeses are paired with four specialty beers, which vary for each event but mostly include American and European craft beers. The evening concludes with a special dessert course of an Imperial stout float with French vanilla ice cream.
Want to host your own event? You can work with Andrew's to host your own private grilled cheese and beer pairing with friends. The per-person cost is the same, with a $700 minimum required. A "premium" option is also available for $70 per person - switching out one of the beers for sparkling wine and using super-premium beers for the others.
Andrew's Cheese Shop owner Andrew Steiner first fell "madly and passionately in love" with cheese while working as a waiter at Joachim Splichal's renowned restaurant Patina. He was then promoted to the position of Maitre d'Fromage, where he instituted the restaurant's popular cheese menu and cheese cart. Later, after 24 years of working in restaurants, he left the industry to start Andrew's Cheese Shop, which opened August 2008 in Santa Monica. He opened the Manhattan Beach location (the second location) in late 2017.
One of the city's most notable and personable cheese authorities, Steiner was a featured speaker at this year's Los Angeles Magazine "The Food Event," and has also appeared in such publications as the Los Angeles Times, Angeleno and Food & Wine.

SCMP reported Tuesday (01/29/2019), the East Coast Railroad (ECRL) project cost up to 20 billion US dollars, or Rp. 281.7 trillion.
This project was handled by the China Construction and Communication Company (CCCC) and 85 percent of the financing was borne by the China Export-Import Bank.
"It's not because we don't respect the contract. It's because we can't afford to pay it," Mahathir said before the media crew.
The PM nicknamed Dr. M explained, his country asked for understanding of the parties concerned to understand their financial condition.
"This project will make us poor because we swallowed 100 billion ringgit (Rp. 343 trillion). We did it because we were tightening our belts," he explained.
SCMP reported, the official announcement from Kuala Lumpur regarding the cancellation of the project was predicted to emerge in the next two days.
On Saturday last week (1/26/2019), Economy Minister Azmin Ali said the government had given an official decision.
However, after that the government seemed to walk backwards and implied that Azmin was too early in expressing it.
Mahathir's comments came after Deputy Foreign Minister Kong Xuanyou and Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said the project negotiations were still ongoing.
With many high-ranking officials commenting, the fate of the 688-km track has become Malaysia's main agenda in recent days.
Relationship commentator China and Malaysia Oh Ei Sun said, he was not sure the cancellation of the project would affect the bilateral relations of the two countries.
Oh explained, the "Jiran" country is one of Beijing's main trading partners. In addition, ups and downs in relations are commonplace.
"However, I do not believe that this problem will have a serious effect that could disturb them," said a senior researcher at the Singapore Institute of International Relations.
When CCCC gave it to Mahathir's predecessor, Najib Razak, in 2016, many observers thought the project was "Belt and Road Initiative" President Xi Jinping.
However, work on the route has become uncertain after Najib lost to Mahathir in the general election that took place May 9, 2018.
The 93-year-old PM saw ECRL as a project that was too expensive and had not been needed by Malaysia at this time.
In early January, Mahathir had said that the project could work but on a smaller scale.
Government sources revealed they could not continue the CCCC contract brought by Najib because the cost and benefit ratios were out of line.
The anonymous official continued, by canceling the project, the Mahathir government was ready with a penalty to be paid.
"The compensation we have to pay is not worth the debt we will bear in the next 30 years," Mahathir said when asked about the penalty.
While Najib, who offered the project without going through an auction, said that Mahathir made a mistake by canceling it.
He then challenged Mahathir to explain a number of contractual provisions which he considered to provide benefits.

Realtors Join with Pasadena Unified, Pasadena Educational Foundation to Promote Summer Reading
For Immediate Release:
June 26, 2017
Realtors Join with Pasadena Unified, Pasadena Educational Foundation to Promote Summer Reading
Pasadena, CA --- Local realtors have joined with the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) and the Pasadena Educational Foundation (PEF) to donate more than 1,700 books to promote reading this summer. Every PUSD second grader received a book to read this summer. The book donation partners with the Pasadena Public Library's 2017 Summer Reading program for kids, teens, and adults to encourage reading during the summer months. This is the second year that local realtors have donated books for Pasadena Unified second graders to read over the summer.
"Reading during the summer is important so that kids stay engaged in learning and exploring the world around them, and are ready for the new school year," said Superintendent Brian McDonald. "I would like to thank local realtors and our community partners for encouraging students and families to read during the summer."
Local realtors donated fiction and nonfiction books at second, third, and fourth grade reading levels. Each second grader selected a book from a variety of titles to read at home this summer.
"I am glad to partner with other realtors to promote the joy of reading among young children," said realtor Carrie Benuska of John Aaroe Group, who leads the initiative."Participating in the summer book donation and in Read Across PASadena each spring demonstrates our commitment to working together in support of Pasadena-area families. I am thrilled to be part of it!"
The summer book donation is part of the Pasadena Educational Foundation's realtor initiative that connects local realtors with Pasadena Unified schools. Local realtors also participate in the annual Read Across PASadena event that brings elected, business, and community leaders to read to Pasadena Unified students each spring.
The summer book donation and Read Across PASadena were inspired by Collaborate PASadena, a coalition of public organizations, cities, and individuals who work together to make Pasadena, Altadena, and Sierra Madre places where children grow up in supportive environments that prepare them for success in school and in life.
Participating realtors in the summer book collection include John Aaroe Group, Berkshire Hathaway, Compass, Coldwell Banker, Deasy/Penner, Dilbeck, and Podley Properties.
Summer reading and Read Across PASadena partners include the local realtor community, the Pasadena Educational Foundation, the Pasadena Public Library, Collaborate PASadena, United Teachers of Pasadena, California School Employees Association, Reading Partners, and Reading is Fundamental of Southern California.
To sign up for the Pasadena Public Library's Kids Summer Reading Program, visit cityofpasadena.libguides.com/summer-reading. Kids, teens, and their adults can sign up to log their reading and earn prizes through July 29, 2017.

I am definately a creature of habit. I've wanted to add a new recipe to the blog, really I have, but we've had our usual goodies for the past couple weeks. Things like peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, chicken pot pie, chicken soup, and bison and cheese with mushrooms and mayonnaise. But last night I changed that. I made Buttermilk Crumb Muffins for next month's TWD. They came out fantastic. Check back in a couple weeks for the link to the recipe.
Being a creature of habit, we also made our weekly trip to the library and I found this amazing cookbook, Gooseberry Patch's Taste of Autumn. It was one of those books that the library "promotes". You know the ones, they are propped up instead of in the racks. Gooseberry Patch is quite the brand name, with over 100 published cookbooks, a blog and videos. I wish I could buy them all!
From this cookbook I wanted to make a cookie that said "Autumn". There is a Staff Appreciation luncheon next week and I agreed to make cookies for it. I think I'll make these little gems.
Molasses Sugar Cookies – recipe adapted from Gooseberry Patch
Start out with 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, 2 eggs and 3 Tbs. molasses. Blend well.
Now in another bowl whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp each: ginger, cloves (or allspice) and salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and refridgerate for a while. You want the dough to be easy to handle and not sticky.
When the dough is chilled, roll into one inch balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place cookies on a cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes in a 350F oven. They will flatten out, like this:
They came out beautifully and they taste even better. A perfect autumn cookie :)

Indeed, they wish to make clear they are not simply "a group of fanatical nationalist whose only aim is to provide a perfect view of Iran." Moreover, while the activities of the See You in Iran team are often related to their residents it is their strong desire to not limit themselves to the tourism industry, but rather use the hostel as a means to facilitate their wider cultural and educational goals. This is why the events held at Kojeen are aimed to entice a crowd larger than those simply looking for a place to stay.
See You in Iran conducts themselves based on a non-prejudiced morality; they seek to be against of Iranophobia and wish to undermine anti-Irani sentiment by maintaining an unfiltered dialogue with their guests. Consequently, they ask those who have traveled to Iran to share their photos, stories, and special experiences through social media.
According to the feedback of their guests, the popularity of their facebook group and website and the approval from international interviewers, See You in Iran now asserts itself to be the most internationally well-known Iranian cultural tourism group. Nevertheless, See You in Iran does not seek to compete with others in terms of service providing; theirs is a different mandate.
Their target is the independent mostly low budget travelers; those who don't come in large tours with expensive travel agencies. Often guests find See You in Iran through their Facebook group. Most travellers who choose See You in Iran are young, adventurous and passionate about intercultural communication. See You in Iran's guests seek something different, interactive events, and to know the people with whom they stay.
Such events take place on an almost nightly basis at Kojeen's café-hostel. Here a tourist may rent a room or bed and gain a genuine cultural experience.
In a corner of the ground floor café, former guests have left well-wishing notes describing their time spent at See You in Iran. These notes have been arranged into a world map in order to show the diversity of travellers to their hostel.
Tina Alaee and Navid Yousefian, representatives of See You in Iran, say that in addition to their current guests, the majority of whom are from western countries, they aim to broaden their outreach and accommodate more guests from the Middle East. Upon the walls of the café, photos relate the history of cities and villages across Iran and depict the handicrafts of each locale.
See You in Iran's courtyard is not particularly large but is plentifully decorated with trees and bushes and is spacious enough to walk around and find a quiet corner to oneself. A traditional Kapar shelter made from date trees by Baluchi Iranians has recently been built in their yard; it is designed to remain cool in summer heat. In the center of the yards, one finds a drained pool, a remnant of this 80-year-old mansion's previous tenants; it has now been remade into a cozy social space. One cannot help but admire the enthusiasm of the See You in Iran team.
See You in Iran's team explains how their existence is thanks to and dependant upon its members developing the contents of their Facebook page for an international audience of over a hundred thousand individuals. Indeed, it is now the largest English language online platform dedicated to the communication of Iranian culture and promotion of Iranian tourism.
Previously one could only keep in touch with the See You in Iran team via Facebook, however, now one is able to make bookings through the bespoke website www.seeyouiniran.org Nevertheless, there are undoubtedly more to the amenities of See You in Iran than just accommodation. Their address is No. 2, Vahdati-Manesh (3rd) dead end, South Kheradmand St., KarimKhan Ave, Tehran.
At first, one didn't dare to look at the prices of their café menu for fear of the suspected upscaling to foreign guests, however, when actually looking at the menu one was pleasantly surprised by its affordability. Indeed, Tina made clear that the kitchen was at the disposal of their guests to cook any meal they wish in order to satisfy their own taste.
Passing the café and courtyard one reaches the hostel's rooms. The old house has an attractive atmosphere and one cannot help but feel intimate in its space. There are 7 available rooms in See You in Iran's hostel totaling 12 single and 3 double beds. Guests have access to the high-speed wireless internet. There is a shared bathroom on each floor. Hospitality, daily cleaning, and laundry services are all available; as well as airport transportation for those who require it. Indeed, we will see many more in Iran thanks to See You in Iran!

Back on track?
November 21, 2011
Well, it was inevitable. The week of my first 5k/race ever…and I am getting sick. I THINK its just sinuses for now, but I'm certainly fighting something. This morning I finally gave in and took some medicine and am currently combating this thing with Mucinex, Ibuprofen and endless glasses of Pink Grapefruit juice (Vitamin C for the win). I really want to make sure I'm in as good condition as possible (given any circumstance) for this run on Thursday and will be disappointed if I give anything other than my best. Which means, taking care of myself now. 🙂
Even though adrenaline carried me through most of today, it was still 12 hrs from when I left my apartment to when I walked back in. Lately, as in, most of last week – I've been slacking on my training plan for the 8k. It really does just go to show how easy it is to break a good habit. They say it takes about a month to form a good habit. I started my serious training on October 16th. These past 2 weekends I've taken a break from that and I've struggled with maintaining the parts of training that aren't running. For 27 days I stuck to a rigorous schedule, and last week I stuck to a…modified schedule. I got the running in still, but completely slacked on lifting and cross training. So, tonight came the serious question of:
a) Do I work out and maintain the schedule?
b) Do I pull the "sick" card. Sick – is it really a reason to not work out?
From what I've read around on various sites, magazines, etc., working out while sick, is ok – providing the issues stay chest area and up. Granted, the intensity is less, depending on your ability to breathe, rate of exhaustion, etc. So, all of this was going through my head this evening as I got home. In the end, I decided to go through with my scheduled workout and do a full body lifting circuit. As a compromise, I did it at home (I'll say it once and I'll say it again, I cannot WAIT to get more dumbbells for my "at home gym"), so if it really was too much for me, I could stop. Starting out was a bit rough and I wasn't sure I'd finish it out. But, after it was all said and done, I finished the whole circuit and felt great while doing it. It really felt like the workout helped to open me up a bit and I could imagine the exercise helping my body to fight off whatever I have. Of course now, post workout – sitting here with a mug of tea, I'm back to sniffling. But I know that I did my body some good this evening and mentally I'm pretty proud of myself for pushing through and i'll consider this to be my serious step for getting back on track.
Here's what I did tonight! All sets for 3 x 10. I did them in groups of 2 exercises, at a faster pace to get my heart rate up. I hit my glutes/legs, and focused on my arms and shoulders a lot – and of course, a lower back exercise.
Squats & Tricep extensions
Lateral raises & front lateral raises
Arnold Presses & External rotations
Bicep curls & Calf raises
Dead lifts & bent over DB Flies
Arnold press situps & Russian twists
We had a nice dinner of spaghetti with some vegetarian sausage mixed in, that I'm hoping will give my body some good fuel for a nice 3.1-4.5 mile run tomorrow. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to do the full 4.5 miles, I know for a race week your supposed to taper a bit. My worry is if I taper for the race week, will I lose some of my efforts for the 8k training. I'd LIKE to workout in the morning, but tomorrow calls for a pretty early AM at work and 4.5 miles will throw a serious kink in those plans. So it may be an evening workout for me again. What do we think? Get in an evening run before HEADING HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS?!?!?!? 🙂 I hope everyone is looking forward to
a break from work some family/holiday time as much as I am 🙂 Is everyone traveling? Staying where you're at? Hosting? Going out? Family traditions???
Which…reminds me 🙂 We have some gratitudes to catch up on, no?
On Saturday, I was grateful for: a mid-afternoon beer while out on errands.
On Sunday, I was grateful for: being the kind of girl who could enjoy being 2 rows back from the Baltimore Ravens endzone, and in the end, consider the sinus infection at the end of the day, a satisfactory price to pay for 4 hours of screaming at a football field like a crazy person. I am also grateful for the visual reminder of why I want to be lifting regularly and in a challenging way. Being that close to cheerleaders with some amazing muscle tone in the shoulders and arms gave my motivation some new life.
Today I am grateful for: people in my life that I enjoy speaking with, seeing and hearing from. I'm also grateful for my dad, who saw fit to bring me grapefruit juice when I was sick, way back when I was in college. I refuse to drink anything else when I feel cruddy and tonight is no different. I have the best dad ever. Finally, I am grateful for my friends who pushed me to stay on track and my body, which allowed me to stay on track tonight. 🙂
sweet dreams everyone,

Owner of the Adelphi estate in St Vincent, dying c. 1821, father of Major Charles Grant and George Colquhoun Grant, grandfather of Louisa Ann Grant (each of whom q.v.). Charles Grant of Great Percy Street Rathbone Place had been the recipient of two tranches of Exchequer Loans in 1797 and 1798 totalling £10,000. The enslaved people on the Adelphi estate were registered between 1817 and 1825 in the name of the London merchant D.H. Rucker, probably a creditor.
Will of Charles Grant the elder late of the island of St Vincent but now residing at Havre Kingdom of France proved 23/06/1821. Under the will, he left a moiety (half-share) of his personal and real property to his son Captain Charles Grant of the 8th West India Regiment of Foot, half of the other moiety to his daughter Ann Montgomery Birch wife of Capt. John Birch, and the final quarter to be divided between his daughter Sarah residing with him and his son George Colquhoun Grant lieutenant in HM's 46th Regiment of Foot.
Another son, Edward Effingham Grant, omitted from the will of Charles Grant of Carron, was father of Maria Grant, later Rosetti, portrayed by Daniel Rosenthal c. 1850 as Revolutionary Romania and the subject of Jules Michelet's Madame Rosetti (1851).

The event is part of activities to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Liberation Day of Hanoi (October 10).
It honors Hanoians' undaunted will and courage in the nine-year-long resistance war against the French colonists, said Truong Minh Tien, Vice Director of Hanoi's Department of Culture, Sport and Tourism.
Sixty significant historical revolutionary sites in Hanoi were in the spotlight, including vestiges of the French colonists' crimes, revolutionary bases and relic sites witnessing important battles of Hanoians.

So the Two Old Farts will continue.

Wind and not the farting type !!!!
Tim is in at Willomore and had a head wind all day, he has managed to get in early and has rested up for the 178 km cycle tomorrow. Its a big day to get to Prince Albert but its really important that Tim does it to enable him to get to Paarl before the 26 day cut off.
A schedule of the next six days has been worked out and if the weather plays it part the man will arrive before next Thursday, he only has until Friday morning 06h00 so lets start with the positive thoughts. Annette Tim's wife and I have been fretting about him for the past two days but the Old fart is strong and we are booking our tickets to get to the finish. The bike is behaving and the muscles are sore but strong, I just hope he has kept money for the beer at the end !!! maybe he has enough left for some wine too !

Tod Machover, the composer behind Schoenberg in Hollywood, wrote this fascinating and insightful note for the program book of the opera's World Premiere production with Boston Lyric Opera. Read on to learn more about Machover's inspiration, process, and the personal meaning behind this new work.I started thinking about Schoenberg in Hollywood over 20 years ago, when I came across a remarkable book by Alexander Ringer called Arnold Schoenberg: The Composer As Jew. The book was a revelation. I had long admired Schoenberg's music but didn't know about his complex relationship to Judaism, or about how Nazi critics used his Judaism as a way of justifying their hatred for his music. I also discovered in that book the story of Schoenberg's meeting with MGM's Irving Thalberg—to whom he was introduced by Harpo Marx—soon after Schoenberg's arrival in Los Angeles. All of this made me think about the interpenetration of politics and art, and about the tension between artistic purity and popular acclaim, in a fresh, broader way.
Schoenberg's journey—musical, spiritual and political—emerged for me as one of the great stories of our time, one that I wanted to tell. His meeting with Thalberg, poignant and comically absurd, felt like the pivot around which the arc of Schoenberg's life could be explored. I sensed that this was an ideal story for exploring the tricky relationship between uncompromising art and mass appeal, and of whether—and how—art can change the world.
Creating this opera became a sort of obsession for me, but many thought that it was too wild a story or too impractical to produce. When Esther Nelson approached me about writing a new work for Boston Lyric Opera, I told her about this Schoenberg idea and she immediately said, "This is it!" I am deeply grateful to her for believing in the project and for giving me the opportunity to realize this dream.
I grew up immersed in Schoenberg's musical world. My parents' tastes in music were highly eclectic, and our home was filled with Bach, Beethoven, Schoenberg, Cage, and beyond. At Juilliard, I studied with the composers Roger Sessions and Elliott Carter, both of whom had been deeply influenced by Schoenberg. When Sessions described Schoenberg's vast importance by telling me that "Schoenberg owned the estate where Berg and Webern were the gardeners," I knew exactly what he meant. You really can find everything in Schoenberg, much as you can in Bach. I was drawn to the deep expressivity and richness of Schoenberg's music, to the way it absorbs the past while always feeling totally new, and to the way his music combines overwhelming emotion with powerfully rigorous—but always imaginative and non-academic—intellect.
As I found my own voice as a composer, I moved toward a simpler, more direct form of expression—identifying more with Cage than with Carter, more with The Beatles than with Boulez. But over the past 10 years or so, I have realized how much of Schoenberg's sound, texture, complexity, and variety have influenced me, and how important his values are to me. Working on Schoenberg in Hollywood has led me to appreciate Schoenberg's unmatchable, uncompromising integrity as an artist, along with his lifelong search to combine a deeply personal vision with a profound desire to
change the world.
There were many complex aspects to this project, but finding the right musical language and sound world was perhaps the most challenging of all. I wanted the work to be infused with Schoenberg but not to be a pastiche. I also wanted it to tell the history of musical language, because Schoenberg's music evolved so much and in itself incorporated so much previous music. Lastly, I wanted to find a musical language for this opera that could be poised on the razor's edge between accessibility and complexity, dipping from one side to the other with the slightest tweak. Not surprisingly, I had to invent my own language to do this. So most of the music in the opera is mine, although there are a few quotes from Schoenberg as well as a kind of blitz near the end with a lot of Schoenberg fragments juxtaposed, as if we were able to glimpse suddenly into his musical mind. The opera builds to a climax called "Schoenberg's Vision," in which I imagined what it would sound and feel like to reconcile the many opposites that Schoenberg grappled with, if only for a moment. To do this, I had to find melodies, harmonies, and textures (augmented subtly with electronics) that follow their own logic while both welcoming and illuminating Schoenberg's own. I hope that audiences are tantalized, challenged, and delighted by this music, and go away with some tunes to hum—perhaps some of them in 12-tones. I also hope that audiences will leave the opera admiring and loving Schoenberg as much as I do. He is one of the greatest composers who ever lived and, in my view, many people still do not appreciate the breadth of his achievement or the richness of his legacy.
The title of the opera is not exactly misleading, but it is a bit sly. When I started imagining the piece, I thought that it would mostly revolve around Schoenberg's life as an exile in the Los Angeles of the 1930s and 1940s. The whole opera could have been filled with tennis matches with George Gershwin and garden parties with Charlie Chaplin. But Braham Murray—my close creative collaborator on the project, as he had been on my Resurrection and Skellig operas, and to whom I have dedicated this opera—had the idea of using the Thalberg meeting as a framing device from which Schoenberg would reconsider his whole life…through the lens of film history! So while the opera begins and ends in Hollywood, we also journey with Schoenberg more widely through place and time.
I'd like to extend special thanks to my friend and colleague Leslie Epstein for valued advice during the initial phase of this project. And I am very grateful to the many wonderful collaborators on this project, from the brilliant actor and writer Simon Robson who has crafted a most intricate and witty libretto, to media artist and MIT Media Lab grad Peter Torpey who has imagined projections that shift the stage from filmic to very real in a lightning flash, to Ben Bloomberg who has worked his characteristic sonic magic to blend acoustics and electronics in subtle and startling ways, to choreographer Karole Armitage who designed the movement language for the piece and then took over the direction following Braham's passing, and to the amazing singers, musicians, production teams, student engineers and artists at the MIT Media Lab, and so many more.
Because I often invent new technologies and because many of my musical projects are quite multidisciplinary, I typically collaborate with all kinds of people, from experts, to teams of graduate and undergraduate researchers, to thousands of citizens from every conceivable background in my City Symphony projects. But in this opera, it feels as if I have been collaborating with Schoenberg himself, trading with him sounds and ideas and experiences and even jokes. I have learned immeasurably from "Arnold" during this process, and I hope that what we have done in Schoenberg in Hollywood—together—would have made him smile, and sing…and maybe even dance.

So sitting around tying bugs for people, I some how remembered to take a picture or two of some of the bugs. Unfortunately I didn't manage a pic of the all night binge that resulted in 40 deadly intruders and one dead tired tier not looking forward to a long day at work. As of this week, these are some of the flies that I have completed and shipped out.
People ask what do I do with all the money a fly tier makes from his flies. Well... you buy more toys and more fly tying materials. So to add to the collection of 1******* rods that I own. I had the opportunity at an old Sage 9140-4 Brownie, and I jumped on it like a chromer on pink. What is probably the oldest "skagit" style rod out there, its a beauty of a stick. Now the only thing I need is something 4", old, and loud. Anybody know that 'perfect' reel!? Anybody want to part with one? ...wink wink!

2. More advocates for the integrity of God's creation and against destructive mining and coal fired power plant which emits noxious gases;
3. More government officials who are honest, competent and sincerely committed to public service;
4. Foreigners to stop meddling in internal affairs of our country;
5. Media practitioners to communicate truth and foster moral values;
6. Parents to care for their children through Christian values formation and provision for their basic needs;
7. Educators to empower students to become leaders in government service and private businesses;
8. Priests and religious to exercise their prophetic role without fear or favor;
9. Youth to be more active in social transformation;
10. Terrorists to immediately stop their criminal activities and work instead for progress and prosperity.

It's a chilly damp day here in my slow land of country living.
It's fall and orange abounds! Out in the gardens, Pumpkins, sweet potatoes, winter squash.
In the woods, bright-colored leaves on sassafras, maple and many berries ripen for birds and wildlife. Lots of little orange rose hips this year. They make good jelly, but it has been a rough year, I will leave them for God and the animals to take care of.
In my kitchen a box of sweet potatoes, gift from Hubby, some squash from a friend, some nice tart cooking apples and a pumpkin have raised a clamor for attention. They await inspiration and energy to become lasting products in the pantry and freezer. Some, like caterpillars into a cocoon are already on the way to becoming 'something else'.
Last night a friend asked about ways to use yams. Did you know that a yam is NOT a sweet potato? But here we consider them such and use them in the same ways.
I suggested fried, mashed, and the way Hubby likes them, cut in small pieces, baked with butter and maple syrup.
I have to be honest, if a recipe calls for pumpkin and I don't have any, I substitute winter squash, or sweet potatoes. Sometimes I have to adjust the spices or liquid, but it seems to work.
THis is a handy recipe for Pumpkin bread: This recipe makes 2 9X5 loaves. 3 cups sugar, 1 cup oil, 4 eggs, 2 cups pumpkin (or your choice of substitute) 2/3 cups water, 3 1/2 cups flour, pinch salt, 1/2 rsp each baking powder, cloves, nutmeg, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 2 tsp baking soda. Mix all together until smooth and pour int greased and floured pans. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour, test as for cake.
Of course, you can use cooked squash or sweet potato instead of pumpkin and add in nuts or raisins if you want, In fact, another friend mentioned adding bananas. I can see that I have some experimenting to do here in the Sunrise Ridge kitchen this winter.
I wonder if you could substitute sweet potatoes for carrots in a carrot cake? I may have to try that too.
If you don't hear from me, I'll be in the kitchen. Cooking, tasting and testing ideas.

Micah 5:2-5 Good News Translation (GNT)
God Promises a Ruler from Bethlehem
2 The Lord says, "Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are one of the smallest towns in Judah, but out of you I will bring a ruler for Israel, whose family line goes back to ancient times."
3 So the Lord will abandon his people to their enemies until the woman who is to give birth has her son. Then those Israelites who are in exile will be reunited with their own people. 4 When he comes, he will rule his people with the strength that comes from the Lord and with the majesty of the Lord God himself. His people will live in safety because people all over the earth will acknowledge his greatness, 5 and he will bring peace.
Deliverance and Punishment
When the Assyrians invade our country and break through our defenses, we will send our strongest leaders to fight them.

United's Not Even the Worst at Involuntary Seat Bumping
Airlines & Airports United Airlines Rich Thomaselli April 19, 2017
Despite scrutiny in the wake of the well-publicized dragging incident on a recent United Airlines flight, it turns out the embattled carrier isn't even the worst offender when it comes to denied boarding.
In fact, United is closer to being the best rather than the worst, according to new statistics from the US Department of Transportation.
But that is tempered by the fact that one of its regional carriers is indeed the worst.
The publicity from the incident, of course, has made United a Public Enemy No. 1 in the minds of many. On the final evening flight of an April 9 trip from Chicago to Louisville, United seated its passengers on the plane but realized shortly thereafter it needed four seats to move four crew members to Louisville in order to have employees in place for assignments the next morning.
That led to forced rebooking, with four passengers being randomly chosen. One included Dr. David Dao, who refused and was physically removed from the flight, bloodied as he was dragged up the aisle by Chicago Aviation Police to the horror of fellow passengers.
The video of the incident quickly went viral, sparking nationwide outrage at United.
READ MORE: United CEO Calls Incident 'Watershed Moment'
Yet, the airline is actually middle of the pack when it comes to involuntary bumping. The DOT released its fourth quarter stats from October to December for 12 US airlines, and United was only seventh on the list.
The rankings are in inverse order, meaning Hawaiian Airlines with its lowest rate of denied boardings was the best at No. 12. The worst, at No. 1, was regional carrier ExpressJet Airlines, which services smaller hubs for both United and Delta Air Lines.
Here is the complete list:
12. Hawaiian Airlines
11. Virgin America
10. Delta Airlines
9. Spirit Airlines
8. Alaska Airlines
7. United Airlines
6. Frontier Airlines
5. American Airlines
4. Southwest Airlines
3. Skywest Airlines
2. JetBlue Airlines
1. ExpressJet Airlines
Perception is the current enemy of reality for United, but it's also clear they have tangible work to do with their subsidiaries and short order. Any sort of ExpressJet snafu that boils over could be disastrous for the embattled parent company these days.

David Chidgey - Art Glass Mosaics
30th June,2017
Years ago I discovered MacGlue for my glass-on-glass mosaic mandalas. I like the strong bond, quick drying time (20 to 25 minutes usually), and relatively clear result. "In the Beginning", the first mosaic for which I used MacGlue, actually was part of the SAMA's Mosaic Arts International in Miami some years back.
