The State of Texas Dental Choice Plan -the State's indemnity plan-is administered by Humana Texas Dental Choice PPO. The dental choice plan does not restrict your choice of dentists, but it does limit payment based on your choice on dentist. Using a participating dentist will result in a higher percentage of charges paid.
The Dental Maintenance Plan – Humana DHMO-The dental maintenance plan provides dental coverage to you and your covered dependents through a network of participating dentists. You MUST select a dentist and obtain services from that dentist in order to be covered for benefits; however you may change dentists as often as you like. There is no deductible and your out-of-pocket expense is based upon the schedule of benefits and the services you receive. The participating dentist will file claims for you. A fee schedule and list of providers are available from the Benefits Office. You are covered for all services, including major dental procedures, as of the effective date of the plan. Generally, the co-payments represent about a 50% to 90% discount in normal fees. You receive a 30% discount for treatment by a specialist.
State of Texas Dental Discount Plan (Careington) - This plan is not dental insurance, but a discount program for dental services. Participating dentists have agreed to accept a discounted fee from participants as payment-in-full for dental services performed. Health coverage opt-out credit does not apply to this plan but employees can be enrolled in a private dental insurance plan and the State of Texas Dental Discount Plan. Employees should check with their dentist to confirm that he or she will accept the dental discount plan for each service performed.

De Blasio teams up with anti-Trump London mayor Khan and NYPD sergeants are loaded with snark
January 11, 2020 | Vivek Saxena | Print Article
As New York City and London, two of the world's most "progressive" cities, face an ongoing and unprecedented wave of violence, their respective mayors teamed up to write a report about climate change.
Naturally, upon learning about the duo's joint effort this week, the New York City Sergeants Benevolent Association issued the following snarky tweet:
Obviously mental illness is a neglected problem in NYC. After reading all your comments and tweets I now understand why? https://t.co/ilDSnM7VMP
— SBA (@SBANYPD) January 10, 2020
Published Tuesday by the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, the report by NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and London Mayor Sadiq Khan implores cities across the world to divest from "big oil companies" and invest in "climate solutions."
Why? Because otherwise, the world will begin to end in 10 to 12 years, the two claim …
"Humanity has only the next decade to avoid the most disastrous effects of global warming," de Blasio's forward reads.
"Climate change is by far the biggest threat we face today. It's an existential challenge that looms large over our societies, our politics and our economies, and which imperials not only our future prosperity, but our very survival on this planet," Khan's forward likewise reads.
View the whole report below:
De Blasio's passion for so-called climate change has provoked mockery from those who doubt the legitimacy of his dubious claims or resent him for his blatant hypocrisy:

Dude, seriously, how dense are you? One of the (many) knocks against you is your (constant) use of (far too many) SUVs on a frequent (daily) basis. So where do you get the balls to preach to anyone about how they should live, when you constantly act like you're above the law? pic.twitter.com/d84Qrmn2De

LOL I think you and Khan are the only two who actually 'know' about this. Always with the catastrophes, extinction level events, the imperative to act NOW to save humanity! Oh the rank sophomoric egoism. Your naked self aggrandizement is cringe worthy.

According to CNN, the report is meant to serve as a "how-to-kit" so other cities may follow New York City and London's lead "by divesting from oil, natural gas, and coal investments."
"In 2018, New York became the first major American city to set a goal of divesting from fossil fuels," CNN notes. "The city is aiming to divest its $195 billion pension portfolio by the end of 2020. New York has also pledged to double its investments in climate change solutions to $4 billion by 2021."
"The London Pensions Fund Authority has sold its stakes in ExxonMobil (XOM), BP (BP) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA). Its holdings in extractive fossil fuels have been cut from 1% of total assets in 2017 to 0.4% today. The LPFA's holdings in green investments have climbed to nearly 3% of total assets."
However, these divestments have not coincided with good news for either city.
Forbes confirmed last September that nearly 300 people are leaving the NYC area daily in part because of "costly living expenses, crumbling infrastructure and high tax rates."
The city has also faced an unprecedented wave of violence, particularly antisemitic violence against Jews. During the last full week of 2019, at least eight antisemitic attacks were committed.
Moreover, data released earlier this week revealed that last year, just murder alone skyrocketed by a whopping eight percent from 289 in 2018 to 318 in 2019, while robberies jumped by 3.1 percent.
But instead of addressing these problems with solutions that actually work, de Blasio and other left-wing legislators in the state have pursued allegedly "better" policies that have in fact exacerbated the problems.
Take the eight antisemitic attacks that occurred in late December. The suspects in all eight attacks were reportedly promptly released after being detained as per reform measures supported by the city's mayor.
Signed into law last year by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a close de Blasio ally, the reforms eliminated bail for most misdemeanor and "nonviolent" felony arrests, including criminally negligent homicide, manslaughter in the second degree and apparently assaults rooted in antisemitism.
On multiple occasions, the suspects released because of these reforms have simply gone on to commit even more crimes.

Over in London, the city has faced its own violent crime epidemic — one driven namely by acid and knife attacks.
Within the first five days of 2020 alone, the metropolitan area reportedly experienced the following:
The nonfatal stabbings of three teens at a New Year's Eve party …
The brutal beating of a man outside a McDonald's …
The injuries of two police officers while detaining a man armed with a knife …
The murder of a man during a "traffic altercation" …
The fatal stabbing of an 18-year-old man …
Khan's solutions have been just as impotent.
Last year he called for literal knife control, saying, "No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife. Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law."
Knife control obviously hasn't worked.
And despite the constant violence, the mayor has continued to insist that the sprawling metropolitan is "safer" now than it was prior to him assuming office in 2016 …
Likewise, despite so much evidence to the contrary, de Blasio and Khan have continued to claim that man-made climate change is real, that it'll destroy humanity (if not also the Earth) unless tackled via endless regulations and taxes.
U.S. Republican politicians, including President Donald Trump, disagree with this mindset and have therefore pursued alternative solutions.
In Florida, for instance, Gov. Ron DeSantis has earned widespread praise from the public over his pursuit of policies that address some climate/environmental concerns while also still meeting his other responsibilities to maintain a strong economy, limit violent crime, etc.
Yet for some reason, hardheaded leftists like de Blasio and Khan refuse to even mull over these sorts of demonstrably successful alternatives …

My Christmas holiday started with me becoming sick, a terrible thing for the planned orienteering and workouts. So I decided to go for a little bigger holiday project the usually.
I have for a long time wanted to build something with the K-Samsök(SOCH) API, a API containing more then 5.6 million historical/archeology objects, including 2.3 million images and 1.6 million geo referenced objects. I have never built something stable with the API before, the documentation makes it hard, and there is no API libraries.
Earlier last year I started working on a PHP library for the API, you will find the latest version at Github and Packagist. It's written in PHP because I think more people will use it. You find some basic documentation in the README, some features such as object(), extending, and optional parameters is missing. I aim to publish 1.0 when the documentation is complete.
Until this holiday it has been very unstable and has been missing some key functionality. The best solution to make a library stable is to build something with it, so that's what I have been doing.
169 000 of the images in K-Samsök are geo referenced the other ones is not. Many of the other images is photos. I have written a web app that allows you to search after photos thats isn't geo referenced and simply geo reference using a location picker. A screenshot can be seen below.
The screenshot lies, it's a week old but it's still just as nice!
The own API for getting the user generated data.
Scaling, the UI is powered by a lot of JS and its needs work.
It should be more accessible to screen reader/keyboard users, the JS breaks it right now.
The aim was to "finish" it until the end of this holiday, but school begins tomorrow. The new aim is to finish it and 1.0 of K-Samsök-PHP before the Wiki Loves Maps Hackathon in February!
Here is the source for the K-Samsök statics.


The best thing about Halloween has always been the toys, right? I mean, seriously, my kids just can't wait to go Trick or Toying. Kids throughout the neighborhood are lining up at my front door to get a toy.
It's all about the toys. Always has been.
You're probably laughing right now, thinking I've lost it, and if you are, you'd be right. That is exactly the reaction I had when I read this article by the Associated Press this week.
The article basically suggests that people pass out toys or stickers or other such things on Halloween—anything but candy. Because candy is full of evil sugar and we can't have our kids consuming anything so downright bad for them.
How 'bout we give them toy guns instead?
And just in case your parental skills are really lacking, the article suggests several ways you can combat the ills of sugar-exposure.
Tactics like playing the "switch witch" with your kids. At bedtime, kids leave out as much candy as they want and the "switch witch" comes and swaps their candy for a toy. The more candy, the bigger the toy.
Or talking to them about nutrition because, you know, we don't do that but on one night a year and kids are really in a listening mood on Halloween.
Here's my tactic for Halloween. Send the kids out to get as much candy as they can possibly carry. When they get home, have the kids dump the lot in the middle of the floor for sorting. Grab the Baby Ruths and run.
They can eat the rest. But I know they probably won't.
Every year, sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I clean out my kids rooms to find an entire stash of uneaten Halloween candy. I eventually throw it all out, and nobody even gives it a second thought.
By then, Halloween is a long-gone memory. The kids have moved on to Christmas and are already dreaming about the toys.
Donna, "snavel"??? That must be one of those Australian words--but I like it! :) Thanks for the comment!
Totally have the same experience - only with me I lunge at the Butterfingers!
My Mom used to make us give up about 5 favorite candybars which she would freeze for our Christmas stockings. She really knew how to stretch the budget!
Sheroll, that's hilarious! I may have to do that this year!


Does the DGA Win for 'Gravity' Predict a Best Picture Oscar?
Does the DGA Win for 'Gravity' Predict a Best Picture Oscar?
Last week, we took a look at each of the awards circuits that have announced their winning picks for 2013, calculating just how good an indicator each one might be at predicting the Academy Awards top prize. Unsurprisingly, 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle were the most common titles to take awards from venues like the Golden Globes, New York Film Critics Circle, Critics Choice Awards, and others. With the organizations carrying a variety of insight, statistically speaking, into what will be the Oscars' big winner, we named 12 Years our Most Likely to Succeed at the 86th Annual Academy Awards… but that was before today's news. See, this morning gave us the winner of the Director's Guild of America Awards — historically, the best indicator of the Best Picture Oscar with a 90% consistency over the past 10 years and an 81% consistency overall — and it is third party candidate Gravity.
Alfonso Cuaron's blockbuster has snagged the DGA, putting it in the company of Argo, The Artist, The King's Speech, The Hurt Locker, and many other features that went on to win Best Picture. In fact, the last movie to take the DGA but lose out on the top Oscar would be Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain, a rarity as well for winning the Best Director Oscar but not Best Picture. Averaged with the precognitive capabilities of the Producers Guild of America (middling) and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association (dismal) — in which Gravity tied as winner with 12 Years and Her, respectively — the space-set thriller is about even with Steve McQueen's slavery epic in its chances to take home the Oscar.
Of course, math can only take you so far (despite what they tried to drill into your heads in grade school). The separating factor, come Academy season, will be that indefinable quality that makes something an "Oscar movie." Not necessarily the best movie, but the one most palatable to the Academy's appetite. Gravity and 12 Years a Slave are both terrific films, but the latter has a few points on its side. Although they might share the DGA with Gravity, movies like Argo, The King's Speech, The Hurt Locker, Slumdog Millionaire, Million Dollar Baby, et al have far more in common with 12 Years a Slave: they're tales of history, adversity, injustice, human ugliness and human perseverence. Stories very much grounded on this Earth… something that Gravity, quite literally, might not be considered (at least by some).
But we applaud the DGA for recognizing Cuaron's movie, and its other deserving winners (with special notice for the finales of Breaking Bad and 30 Rock). Peruse the winners list below!
Nominees: Killing Kennedy, Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight, Phil Spector, The Sound of Music Live!

DAVID GREENE, HOST:
An unmanned NASA space probe is just about an hour away from flying past Pluto. This is the first time a spacecraft has ever been to Pluto, and it has taken almost a decade to get there. Joining me on the line from mission control at the applied physics laboratory in Laurel, Md., is NPR science correspondent Geoff Brumfiel.
Geoff, good morning.
GEOFF BRUMFIEL, BYLINE: Good morning, David.
GREENE: So it's only been a decade (laughter). I mean, there has to be a lot of anticipation there. What is the latest on this mission?
BRUMFIEL: So this spacecraft, as you said, it's been on - it's been flying for about a decade, and it's now about an hour away from being 8,000 miles from the surface of Pluto. Now, 8,000 miles might sound like a long way away to earthlings, but you have to remember it's 3 billion miles to get to Pluto, so this is very, very close. And all the spacecraft's instruments are designed to give great pictures and scientific measurements at 8,000 miles, so we really should be seeing some amazing stuff here.
GREENE: So before we get to that, I mean, I'm just thinking - 3 billion miles, 10 years this thing has traveled. It has to be an amazing spacecraft. I mean, can you tell me what it looks like, what it is?
BRUMFIEL: Yeah, yeah. It's actually - it's a plucky, little thing. It's called New Horizons. It's about the size of a baby grand piano. And part of the reason it's so small is that they had to fling it away from Earth as fast as they could just to get it there within a decade. It's moving at 30,000 miles per hour relative to Pluto, and at those speeds, it's not going to be able to stop. It's just going to go sailing past Pluto. Now, the spacecraft is, like, a little sort of triangular thing, I guess, with a big radar dish on top. It's not much to look at, but it's doing some pretty cool stuff.
GREENE: So paint a picture of where exactly you are and what the atmosphere is like in the control room.
BRUMFIEL: Right. So I'm here sort of near the control room. And here's the funny thing about this mission, OK? It's so far away that it's actually going to take four and a half hours for the signals from Earth to reach the spacecraft and the signals from New Horizons to reach Earth. And at those kinds of distances, even if they decided, hey, we want to take an extra close-up of this thing, by the time they sent the command there, the spacecraft would be gone. So everything's on autopilot. The spacecraft's doing its own thing. And people here on the ground are just frankly waiting around. And what they've done is they've invited family members. They've invited the relatives of Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto, to come here. And it's really actually kind of a festival atmosphere while everyone waits to hear back.
GREENE: Waits to hear back - well, what - I mean, that must be a little scary if the thing sort of, you know, coming to this important moment and doesn't get back in touch, I'd imagine?
BRUMFIEL: Yeah, I mean, you know, I've been asking about that. They have a lot of confidence. They've had nine and a half years to work out all the bugs, although they did encounter one little computer crash right before they got here. But basically, you know, things are looking pretty good. We'll have to wait until tonight. There is a small chance, as it passes between Pluto and its moon Charon, it could be struck by a rock, and that could be the end of it. But assuming it isn't, then we're going to hear a signal late tonight. All it's going to say is I'm OK, I made it. And then it's going to go right back to taking measurements. It's actually going to take months and months to get the data back.
GREENE: All right. Geoff, sadly we'll have to stop there. We'll be watching this Pluto mission come together. NPR science correspondent Geoff Brumfiel.

Crouched behind a green Ford Explorer, gripping his tactical shotgun, Jacksonville police officer John Forte could only see the gunman's face when the muzzle of the man's semiautomatic rifle flashed and he fired another round at the officers surrounding his house.
Forte was wearing his bicycle patrol uniform — shorts. He had hitchhiked part of the way to the scene in the back of a pickup after he heard radio calls of a man shooting at officers. He had been behind the Explorer for hours, providing cover to another officer pinned behind a tree.
At one point, he called his mother. "Get my daughter ready," he told her. "It doesn't look good. I don't know if this will end well."
Though Forte survived that day, it hasn't ended well for him.
Since the Aug. 25, 2008, shootout on quiet, residential Foxwood Drive, which ended when a police sniper killed the gunman, four doctors have diagnosed, Forte, 43, with post-traumatic stress disorder. He takes drugs to sleep. His worker's compensation claim was denied, and he has burned through more than 600 hours of vacation and sick time, electing finally to take unpaid medical leave. His claim for unemployment benefits was denied. He has not received a paycheck for 10 weeks.
That isn't the end of his troubles. This afternoon, Forte faces an insubordination hearing after his attorney questioned Jacksonville Police Chief Gary Sipes' order that Forte see a fifth doctor.
"I have the medal I got right here," Forte said, sitting in his attorney's office last week. "We all got one. Everyone who was there that day."
He turned the medal around in his fingers. His eyes didn't leave it.
"Lot of good it does me," he said. "Maybe I can hock it for something."
ON BIKE PATROL
The shootout began a little after 2:30 p.m.
Forte was on bicycle patrol when he heard on his police radio that a suspect was getting a gun. He heard screaming.
Forte headed toward the Police Department. He got a ride in a white pickup, then grabbed his shotgun out of his personal car and rode with his partner toward the house where Steven Smith, 45, lived with his parents. When the officers parked about a block away, they could see officer John Alberson pinned behind a tree.
Smith sprayed dozens of shots out of his front door, the garage door and a small kitchen window. Forte and others fired back.
Smith spoke to a negotiator, hanging up on her several times. He slurred his words and screamed into the phone. He said he had Cherokee ancestors and hated how the "white man" had "massacred" American Indians.
He threatened to kill every officer there.
Smith shot Alberson in the left shoulder. Forte got permission to lay down suppressing fire so officers could get Alberson to a hospital, documents show. Forte also helped escort the wounded officer to a waiting patrol car, then he took up a new position outside the house.
A short time later, Sgt. Brett Hibbs took aim at Smith with a sniper's rifle. He fired twice. Smith fell, shot through the back.
Forte, along with other officers, made sure the house was safe. It was 7:14 p.m.
Forte had never been in a shootout. He had no combat or special weapons and tactics training.
Forte was hired in April 2005. He said he decided to become a police officer to better help people.
At the time, Forte worked security in the emergency department at Baptist Health Medical Center in North Little Rock.
"John is very keen on doing things the right way and always takes into consideration not only the legal, but the moral consequences of his personal actions," one of his colleagues, L.E. Bratcher, wrote in a reference letter.
Before that, he worked for several years as a bouncer at the Electric Cowboy nightclub in Little Rock after about 10 years as a data collector for the Arkansas Crime Information Center.
Stocky and bespectacled with an oval face and thinning hair, Forte stands just 5-foot-9 in the black police-style boots he wears even when he's not at work.
Forte shared the department's "Life Saving Award of the Year" in his first year after he and another officer rescued an overdosing drug addict who trapped his 7-year-old son in a house.
In a sexual predator case last November, less than three months after the shootout, Sipes wrote him a commendation letter.
"This is an indication of good police work and the [willingness] of you to work with others in a team effort to take people like this off of our streets to protect our kids," Sipes wrote.
SYMPTOMS OF DISORDER
After the shootout, though, it did not take Forte long to figure out he wasn't right. He was sleeping 10, 12 hours a night and feeling increasingly fatigued. He started having nightmares that someone was shooting at him. He had flashbacks, too, but the nightmares were different, he said. They weren't memories. They seemed like they happened in real time.
"It wasn't every night," Forte said. "But it happened more than anything like that ever had in my life."
His symptoms were typical of post-traumatic stress disorder. The Mayo Clinic defines it as an anxiety disorder "triggered by a traumatic event," which can be any experience "that causes intense fear, helplessness or horror." Symptoms of the disorder can be fleeting or can last for a lifetime.
In September 2008, Forte asked that the department allow him to attend an Arkansas Criminal Justice Institute seminar on coping with law-enforcement stress. His supervisor, Sgt. Kimberly Lett, denied the request, he said. Not long afterward, Forte took a sharp tone on the radio with Lett and received a letter of counseling in his personnel file.
DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS
The first doctor diagnosed Forte with post-traumatic stress disorder on March 3.
He started taking Seroquel, Remeron and Invega for anxiety and to sleep after Ambien, Lunesta and other drugs didn't help.
Then he applied for workers' compensation benefits citing his mental state. Municipal League Workers' Compensation Trust claims examiner Andrea Ross denied the benefits in a letter dated April 6.
Under Arkansas Code Annotated 11-9-113, Forte had to show that his "mental injury" resulted either from a physical injury or because he was the victim of a crime of violence to receive workers' compensation. In her letter, Ross wrote that Forte "did not meet the criteria of a victim of a crime of violence based on our interpretation of the law."
Ross wrote that Forte could not have been a victim because he was an armed, trained police officer who knew shots were being fired and went anyway.
Her reasoning has drawn criticism from law enforcement and legal experts.
"It's not like you're a cop and separate from a human being," said Allen R. Kates, author of Copshock: Surviving Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. "That workers' comp decision is baloney. Just baloney. They're just making this up.That's insane."
Kates, who works with several police agencies near his home in Arizona and has served as an expert witness in court cases involving post-traumatic stress disorder, said such diagnoses are considered an expected part of law enforcement these days. It doesn't happen to everyone or even most people. But it happens.
"That's the reality police agencies have to deal with," he said. "This is real and this officer is not alone by any means."
Former Arkansas Court of Appeals Judge Wendell Griffen, who served as chairman of the state's Workers Compensation Commission from 1985 to 1987, said Ross' letter is not supported by law.
"The law does not define what a victim of a crime of violence is," he said.
He said the ruling was bizarre.
"If you go by the notion that a police officer who does his job is disqualified simply because he has training as a police officer, then where do you stop?" Griffen asked.
Sheryll Lipscomb, the Municipal League's assistant director for workers' compensation, said in response to questions from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette last week that Forte's claim sounded like something the Municipal League would cover.
"I would think that is a compensable claim," she said.
Lipscomb said she did not know how often in Arkansas law-enforcement officers filed for benefits because of post-traumatic stress disorder or how often those claims are denied.
The Municipal League's legal counsel, J. Chris Bradley, said he had requested more information and documents from the city of Jacksonville.
"This sounds like something we need to look at," he said. "We need to see what they've got, what might be there."
Forte has filed a notice of his intent to appeal, but his hearing has not been scheduled.
He had all four doctors who diagnosed him write a letter confirming their opinions. He said the Jacksonville Police Department chose two of the doctors and he and his attorney, Scott Scholl, chose two. One doctor signed a form in June so Forte could return to work on light duty – no gun and no exposure to situations that might call for lethal force. The department said it had no opening that fit.
THE CHIEF
Sipes became Jacksonville's police chief four months before the shootout. A former SWAT commander in the North Little Rock Police Department, he has worked in law enforcement since 1975.
After the shooting, he offered counseling to those involved, stepped up officer and SWAT training and ordered new bullet-resistant vests – ones that offer better protection to the shoulders.
"I cried that day," he said. "It was an emotional day."
In 34 years as a police officer, Sipes said he had never seen anything like Aug. 25, 2008. He also said that in his career he has never encountered another officer diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder because of something that happened on the job.
He said he was studying the disorder on his own, but would not say how.
After four doctors and four identical diagnoses, Sipes ordered Forte to go to a fifth doctor, telling him which doctor and the date and time.
In a letter to the Municipal League's Workers' Compensation Trust, Scholl, Forte's attorney, asked for guidance.
"If a 'second (fifth?) opinion' is necessary," Scholl wrote, "Ofc. Forte would like to assert his right to seek treatment by the health care provider of his choice."
When Forte did not show up for the appointment, Sipes wrote him a letter telling him to attend an administrative hearing for an insubordination charge, defined in Jacksonville as "any act of arbitrary defiance, disobedience, dissension, or resistance to authority."
Asked more specific questions about Forte – including why he felt a fifth diagnosis was necessary – as well as the department and his own experiences, Sipes wouldn't answer further questions.
Sherwood police detective Scott Hicks, the chapter president of the Southern States Police Benevolent Association, will represent Forte at the hearing.
"He's obviously been done unjustly," Hicks said. "How this is insubordination I just don't know. I think they might try to fire him. How is this right ?"

The history of our lives with the Labrador Retrievers is quite lengthy but I'm going to do my best to summarize it so as not to turn this into a book but yet cover all the areas of events along with our dedicated involvement with our Labradors. I feel this is very important for everyone to know. There are a lot of people who get involved with dogs to breed and sell with no history with, nor knowledge of dogs what so ever. It takes a dedicated person to get involved with dogs because you are not only dealing with a living creature you are also dealing with the lives of the people to which you sell your puppies based on the emotional bond that grows between them. If things are not done properly it could be heart breaking. With this said, I will now step back in time to a very wonderful and memorable part of my life that I will never forget.
I worked for a Veterinarian for 18 1/2 years and during the earlier years of this time I met a client had a Labrador that had just had puppies. As we talked, I learned of some of the history behind his dog and was very impressed with one dog in particular. This dog, named "Cadillac Mack", carried several field titles, and through an article published about him from Ralston Purina, I discovered the man who owned him lived in Belleville, Illinois. I made it a point to meet this man because I was so impressed with the article on this dog. Another one of our clients had a Labrador with a pedigree behind her built on Confirmation dogs (Show dogs) which was impressive and I found out that he had a litter of pups and the sire was a son of the dog I admired so much. I had to have one of these pups. I, at this time, was more interested in show dogs, but my husband Tom was an avid hunter so I felt that one of these pups would satisfy both our worlds. We bought a female who we called "Micki", and this was the beginning of our long but very rewarding journey with our Labrador Retrievers.
The person, from which we purchased Micki, not only hunted, but also was involved with an A. K. C. Field Trial Club, to which we also got involved. We started field training with some of the members, and after a few Field Trial tests in which we entered, and competed, I got hooked. I wanted a Lab of my own so I could train and compete, also. Being interested in the confirmation dogs and wanting my dog to look like the breed standard set forth by the A.K.C. I had to find a blood line that would meet both type as well as carry the hunting and retrieving instinct. Through research I decided the pedigree of the dog I was in search of must carry the Sandylands heritage. Lucky for me at the next dog show I went to I met a couple showing one of their dogs and I loved it. I approached them after they finished showing, and as we talked I found out they had a single female pup born in a litter that carried the pedigree I was looking for. I told Tom about this when I got home, and we called the couple to make an appointment to see her. Needless to say we came home with this little yellow female Labrador that we named "Kandi". I was in heaven. I now had my own dog that I could take training and actually compete with along with the guys.
I received a lot of flak from the guys from the start because the ones we trained with had black Labs. I was even told by one of the guys that I had 3 strikes against me and they were 1) she was yellow, 2) she was a female and 3) she was a show dog. Well, it doesn't pay to tell me I can't do something because I'll so everything in my power to prove you wrong. I DID JUST THAT. The first Field Trial I entered Kandi in, she took 3rd place against 20 some Field Trial bred Retriever pups. My little yellow, female show dog ate steak that night while others I trained with ate words.
We continued to train every chance we could, and compete in as many A.K.C. Field Trials as possible. Micki and Kandi both did very well. Tom, and I were very pleased with them, plus we were having a lot of fun with our dogs. The last event we entered I took 1st place in my group with my little yellow female show dog. If just goes to show you what a little perseverance and research will do. I was determined and Kandi definitely had it bred into her to want to retrieve. The training time with others was fun and it definitely kept our dogs in shape. But it was far from resembling true hunting situations with the camo and all. We, along with a few other club members, found out about the United Kennel Club (UKC) and the Hunting Retriever Club (HRC).
Through our research we could not find a club close to our area so 7 of us decided to form a club of our own.
After all the proper paper work was completed we became RETRIEVERS UNLIMITED HRC. I was nominated and elected club secretary, and held that title for several years. At first the clubs logo was the same as the Hunting Retriever Club so we decided to get our own. I asked the club members to submit possible logos to be voted on, and received several. I submitted to the club the picture of a dog launching into the water, and during one of our meetings we voted on the club logo. It was unanimous. The dog launching into the water won hands down over the rest. This dog was Toms dog Micki. The photo was taken at our clubs 1st sanctioned hunt during the water test. HOW APPROPRIATE the words Retrievers Unlimited arched over the top of a black Lab launching into the water told it all and the best part was that the dog belonged to a club member. Our club was not going to be a follower; the seven of us were determined to be a leader.
Retrievers Unlimited was formed in March 1988, and after a lot of hard work put forth by its' club members, our club grew not only in club members but also in confidence to tackle almost anything. Tom and I were also growing with our passion for this sport. We had recently added another Labrador to our family, which was a male black Lab, out of pure English Field Trial dogs. We named him "Dylan" who later on in time became our first Hunting Retriever Champion. We were hooked, and ready to take on anything.
At one of our meetings in the fall of 1989 the subject of conversation came up about the Spring Grand Hunt 1990. This event is the biggest event put on by the Hunting Retriever Club. Only Champion titled dogs are allowed to enter this event. Dogs come from all over the Country, so it's very important that this particular hunt be, not only true hunting situations, but as close to PERFECT as humanly possible. There were a few club members that did not want to take on a hunting test of this magnitude, but after a very long discussion the ones that really wanted it won over. There was a lot of work to be done and arrangements to be made but we did it.
Once again Retrievers Unlimited was determined to make it a great hunt, and we did. On March 30, 31 and April 1, 1990 not only did we put on a great hunt but it was announced that Retrievers Unlimited set the precedence for all the rest of the Grand Hunts to follow. WE WERE PROUD, tired but PROUD. The saying no rest for the weary is true. Late the night of April 1, 1990 (the last day of the Grand Hunt) my little yellow female show dog Kandi decided to have her puppies. It took all night, and with this being her first litter I stayed with her. She had 4 yellow females, 1 black female and 1 yellow male. We decided to keep the male which we called "Buster", and later on was chosen by Ralston Purina 2 years in a row to represent their dog food ads. The first year he represented Purina HiPro titled "Nutrition That Never Blinks", and the second year he was one of the dogs in the Purina Chosen by Champions group representing Purina Pro Plan food.
We felt very honored. Buster went on to become our 2nd Hunting Retriever Champion. Retrievers Unlimited not only received high recognition from the Hunting Retriever Club for putting on a great Grand Hunt, but we gained quite a few new members from spectators who had come to watch this event. Our club members were always promoting Retrievers Unlimited to generate new club members. I myself wrote a quite lengthy article titled "OUR SEASON NEVER ENDS" which the club submitted to several sport papers to be published. This was, and is, a sport that the whole family can get involved with, and enjoy.
Time went on, and both Tom and I were really enjoying ourselves with our new family of Retriever friends both people and dogs. We eventually added a few more dogs to our group and traveled all over with them. Tom and I were both licensed Judges so if one was asked to Judge, the other ran the dogs. Everyone knew us and welcomed us both with open arms no matter where we went. GREAT FUN!!!!!
Finally in 1997 our Retriever sport came to an end due to an accident that Tom had which prevented him from doing a lot of things that were required in order to train and run dogs. We have an awful lot of great memories that we will both always cherish, and the best one of all is the fact that he and I, as a team, were able to put 4 Championship titles on dogs that we owned and trained ourselves. Dogs will always be a part of our lives no matter what. I guess you can say it was bred into both of us.

Today is our maiden voyage on a Disney cruise ship. While not our original plan for Summer vacation, it was simply a price that we couldn't pass up.
We have cruised on both Royal Caribbean and Carnival in the past, so it is likely I will be comparing a lot of this vacation to them. I apologize in advance.
Today we woke up at home and finished packing, and ended up getting to the terminal a few hours later than we normally do, so we didn't have the time to explore the ship like usual. But unlike RC and Carnival, our rooms were ready as soon as we got on board.
The first thing that I noticed about the ship, is its lack of wide open spaces. Most ships have large promenade areas, that are wide open to the decks above and below. The Disney magic is packed! Venues are squeezed into places you wouldn't think that they would fit.
We had lunch at the Top Sider's Buffet and headed to check out our rooms afterward. We had rooms next to each other, but not adjoining. Additionally, I was under the impression that all Disney staterooms had the tub and two sink combination, but this was not the case for our two rooms.
Our bags arrived at our rooms at about 5PM, just after the standard lifeboat drill. Just in time to get dressed for our early seating. Our first dinner in the restaurant rotation was Parrot Cay. Before dinner, we headed out to deck four to see the jetty as we pulled out of Port Canaveral.
After dinner, Brandon and Trevor both headed to their respective areas. The teen area was having a 10PM meet-and-greet and planning out their activities for the rest of the cruise.
Jennifer and I headed to the main show in the Walt Disney Theater, which was the "All Aboard! Let the Magic Begin" show. Also, two of the cabaret acts performed a teaser show.
The ship – While it has been in service since 1992, you would could never tell. It is by far the best looking and maintained ship I've ever been on.
Stateroom – Missing that second sink didn't hamper the quality of the room in any way. It was easily four feet longer, and a foot wider than the next largest cabin we've ever had.

Translating Colette

Colette as Le Petit Faune in Le désir, la chimère et l'amour
at the Théâtre des Mathurins, Paris, 1906.
Source: Little Penny Dreadful.
Sometimes half the battle in translation is locating the right texts. Shipwrecked on a Traffic Island and Other Previously Untranslated Gems by the French novelist and performer Colette (1873–1954) is an example of that sort of project.
I first stumbled across untranslated pieces by Colette when I was searching for a novel of hers to translate about ten years ago. I was using the book Colette: An Annotated Primary and Secondary Bibliography, meticulously compiled by Donna M. Norell, to try to find which full-length works of Colette's had not been translated. The answer, to my chagrin, was none.
At the time, I ended up working on a previously translated novel that I particularly liked, Green Wheat (Le Blé en herbe), but I did discover from that bibliography and from pawing around in French magazines in the stacks of UC Berkeley's Doe Library that there were numerous articles and short stories by Colette that had never made it into English. It reminds me of those games where you have to remember where a certain card was turned over: I made a mental note to come back to those shelves another time.
I did go back to those shelves when I was lucky enough to get a one-month residency at the Dora Maar House in Ménerbes, France, in 2010 (many thanks to the Brown Foundation Fellows Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston). I schlepped with me all the previously untranslated materials I could find by Colette. I had a suitcase full of short stories, reports from the home front in World War I, radio talks she'd never published, publicity pieces commissioned by the French perfume and fur industries, even an advice column she'd written for the French women's magazine Marie Claire. In that one month, I read, selected, and did a rough first draft of about two hundred pages of my favorite material.
But finding these texts was only half the battle. When I got back to the States, I showed the translations to my friend Renée Morel, professor of French at City College of San Francisco, a native speaker, educated in old-school French academies. Renée has an encyclopedic knowledge of French language, culture, and literature, which she uses in the popular Café Musée series of lectures she gives in San Francisco. She agreed to team up with me to finish the translation. I relied on her to correct the numerous mistakes in my English versions, and to add her extensive knowledge of the Belle Époque and of France in those fascinating early decades of the twentieth century, so much like our own time in their experiments with gender roles and sexual freedom. What I didn't anticipate was how many of my mistakes in English phrasing, grammar, and spelling Renée would correct. (Merci mille fois, Renée!)
Colette could command the most exalted, lyrical diction. She could also render the raunchiest language in authentic street slang.
In translating this book, we had to be aware of Colette's many voices as a writer. Colette could command the most exalted, lyrical diction. She could also render the raunchiest language in authentic street slang. The piece translated here, "A Distinguished Connoisseur," is an example of her more colloquial language.
Colette wrote this piece in 1909 when she making her living as an actor in popular music halls. She performed opposite the famous mime, Georges Wague, in the notorious drama Flesh. It was in this play that Colette became renowned for baring her breasts on stage, although that figures only peripherally in this memoir, which is about a claque. Traditionally, a claque was a group of people hired to sit in a theater audience and applaud loudly in order to stimulate the crowd to respond enthusiastically to the performance.
In this piece, first one, then the other character dominates a two-way conversation in which only one participant really speaks. Colette did an entire series of one-sided dialogues of this sort, a form particularly well suited to her ironic sense of humor. In this case, the ironies are doubled by the fact that the mime, Georges Wague, is at first the vocal member of the duet and then is so furious that he is speechless, until the final scene of this brief memoir.
In translating the slang, sometimes quite raw, we tried to be faithful to the spirit of the French. Slang is tricky, because it is often specific to a particular era, so it can easily sound anachronistic by being too contemporary, or not contemporary enough. We tried to walk that tightrope in our translation. Renée and I also devised a rhymed couplet in English to imitate the bathroom-wall graffiti quoted in this passage: Ici chacun fait un effort / Même les ouvriers du port! We tried to imitate, using English slang, the clipped diction, the frequent interjections, and the amusing metaphors that Colette so skillfully employs to re-create a conversation that jumps to life on the page.
A Distinguished Connoisseur
by Colette
I was appearing in Flesh, so I had to change trains in . . . let's see, is it the second or third largest city in France? Doesn't matter. The second, the third, and the fourth largest cities in France all have their "first-class establishment" where you can rake in "a nice take of three thousand five." So you settle for the three thousand five. Now, I know that in almost all these first-class establishments—Kursaal-Casino, Casino-Kursaal, Eldorado, Eden-Concert—you will find, at the bottom of a staircase that smells of cabbage, a dressing room where you can smell the latrine; and the same slop pail, so small, but so dirty!
My friend Wague, the skilled mime, is putting on his costume in the dressing room next to mine, and with our doors open, we chat. Wague, an old trooper, tries to pump me up as best he can, because I'm as sad as a caged animal, out of my element in this new cage. Between us is born a nervous politeness, the fleeting effusiveness of exiles:
"So, Colette, did you see the marquee?"
"N . . . yes."
"Not bad, huh?"
"It's the color of red currant syrup. And letters this big! When they give me letters so damn big, I wish my name was Nebuchadnezzar, so it would be longer! The posters are nothing to sneeze at either, huh?"
"And have you seen the toilets here?"
"Not so fun. I don't know how they managed it, but they're worse than Toulon."
"You can sigh all you want, but that's how it is. You remember the ones in Toulon where somebody had written: Here you strain to leave your rocks / Even the guys who work on the docks. We had a really good laugh that day, didn't we?"
"Y'know, the box office is pretty good here, today. I wouldn't mind coming back to this one-horse town. What about you?"
"'Yes,' 'No.' You're acting like you don't give a flying f . . . , you know that? Lucky for you I'm here. Who else worries about the posters, the photos for the program, the train schedules, everything! It's me, the lover boy, because, if it was up to you . . ."
"Like for the claque, if I wasn't here . . . I talked to the head of the claque just now. Very refined. An intelligent guy, distinguished. He looks like an executive in some office. He'll warm things up discreetly. He has tact. I spotted that right away. Listen, someone's ringing."
"Is it for us?"
"No, my mistake. First there's the jumping dogs, then the number with the Chilean acrobats. We're after that."
Midnight. Same location, after the show. Flushed, nervous, wired by the dancing and the applause, I sing in my dressing room while I take off my makeup, and the inexplicable silence of my friend Wague, in the dressing room next to mine, is getting on my nerves. But his precise motivation, his clear expressions and gestures, his final suicide all went over well, as usual.
"Hey, Wague, what a house, huh?"
"How about that, pal—four curtain calls!"
"That's not enough for you? What did you take tonight? Let me get a word in edgewise, will you? What's the matter?"
Wague's face, ferocious, smeared with Vaseline and thinned-out ochre and blue, appears: "What's the matter? You have the nerve to ask me what's the matter?"
"Well . . . yeah!"
He burst out: "What's the matter? The claque. Did you hear the claque?"
"No, but since the audience spontaneously . . ."
"They didn't make a single peep, the claque. Did you see those guys, that line of pimps, idiots, nitwits, clods, just sitting up there like a shelf of cheeses? Did you see him, that old geezer?"
"The head of the claque? The man with the distinguished air? The one who looks like an executive?"
Wague shakes his shoulders frenetically: "Him? An executive? You want me to tell you what he looks like, with his hair plastered on his head? Like a rat who fell in sh-t! Anyway, I'm waiting for him right now, and we'll see why his regiment of sausages didn't march!"
My friend Wague didn't have to wait long. The "executive" turned up, perky, imperious, and supremely distinguished.
"So, there you are!" Wague shouted.
"Yes, here I am," conceded this superior man. "I imagine you're pleased."
"Pleased? Pleased? Are you f-ing kidding me? Who told your guys to sit on their hands right when the dance started, and then just when the dress is pulled off, and then right in the knife scene when the blood spurts out? Huh, who was it?"
The "executive," with a hand in a worn-out kid glove, waves away these reproaches as if they were bothersome flies. His thick, old woman's face grimaces, with all its pretentious folds. And as soon as he can get in a word, he defends himself, exasperated, but courteous: "Monsieur, monsieur, if you please! I have tact, and what's more, I know my profession. What is a claque? Can you tell me what a claque is?"
"Then permit me, sir. The claque is a coarse tonic, intended for anemic numbers. It is a vulgar spice that seasons a hysterical dance, it's . . ."
"It's a f-ing waste of a gold louis!" Wague interrupts bitterly.
"Permit me, monsieur! This tonic, this spice, I lavish them on those who need it, do you understand? Those who need it! But artists such as yourself, monsieur, and madame! I would blush, as a man of tact who knows his profession, to underline, to bruise what you do. Do you know what you do? What you do is beautiful! And beauty can't be bought, not for a louis, not for even one hundred francs, monsieur! I bow before beauty, but I never interfere with it!"

Travelers stayed at least one night in China on 23.64 million of the trips, a growth of 5.2 percent compared to the figure for 2017, said a post on the ministry's website on Tuesday, xinhuanet.com reported.
It said foreign travelers spent $73.1 billion on their trips in China last year, 5.1 percent more than the amount in 2017.
The Republic of Korea, Japan, the US, Malaysia and Singapore were among China's 10 largest source markets of tourism in 2018, according to the ministry.
China's tourism revenue rose 10.5 percent year-on-year to ¥5.97 trillion (about $856.5 billion) in 2018, with over 79.9 million people working in tourism and related industries.

So to that end, after we did our first superlatives post back in July, I kept thinking about how it would be nice to have the earlier seven months worth of project breakdowns – to fill in the gap between January (two weeks after we moved in and essentially when we started doing projects) and July (when we started doing monthly roundups). It's just fun for us to see a month at a glance, and we thought it might help some of you guys dig up specific projects without trolling through 432 posts in our archives. Scrolling through twelve posts to recap an entire year isn't bad, right?
So that "would be nice" thought festered for a while, and started nagging me more and more and then it went from thinking about it (aka: wouldn't that be nice) to obsessing about it (aka: do it before your brain eats itself!) so eventually I gave in and spent the last few months chipping away at it. Of course they don't include every last blog post (there aren't any Reader Redesigns or House Crashing posts or other random not-really-house-related things) but they're full of all the noteworthy projects and adventures that we've had each month for the past year.
I figured I could silently post them at the end of each correlating month (by pre-dating them so they'd drop into the archives in the right order), but I also realized that hiding them "back in the day" isn't as helpful as rounding them up in one big easy to troll page with 12 boxes to see the entire year at a glance. So here ya go (you can access that page anytime by clicking the box on the sidebar that says Quick Monthly Round-Ups). It was one of our resolutions to make our archives easier to navigate, so we figure this is a good first step.
Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane. And here's to another twelve months full of projects, posts, the bean, the Burgsie, and random ceramic animals of all shapes and sizes! We're probably getting our penny tile on as you read this, so stay tuned for a big update with some wide shots and another video all about the application process tomorrow!
Psst- We're craigslisting our full sized sofa bed from our first house's office/guest room/playroom, so are the deets for any interested locals.
What a great idea! It will definitely help us search.
This is off topic but when you order those photobooks, which site did you use? I wanted to make mini wedding albums for our parents but wanted to make sure we pick a place that has a good printing quality.
We like mypublisher.com because they run some pretty great sales and also allow up to 100 pages (with high quality paper + good res images). We hear some others are awesome too, so it's definitely just one way to go!
Thanks! This will make the archives easy!! Why did you decide to get rid of your sleeper sofa? I was thinking you were holding on to it in case you ever had a house full of guests!
We have a guest room with a full sized bed now and also have two daybeds (each with a twin mattress) along with our queen-sized bed, Clara's crib, a pack and play, and a giant sectional that could probably sleep three people so we think we're all set!
THANK YOU! We are always digging through your previous project posts, this is great!
Aw, so glad to help guys!
OMG…just had to let you know that SUE the Napkin has transformed into a comforter….
That's a nice organization idea. We only have 80 some posts and I feel like we're too cluttered! I can't imagine five thousand some!! Getting to the content you're looking for is the name of the game I guess.
We just spent the weekend putting in hardwood in our family room! We're all DIY'd out!
Gorgeous!!! Wow, that must have been so much work!
I'm always up for a trip down memory lane! Sooo looking forward to the update on the penny tile. I'm so excited, I feel like it's my kitchen that's being done! Can't wait!
Bento me! I can't seem to contain the papers from school that I want to keep for each of my two kids. I try to be picky, but they're overtaking drawers and files to no end!
I have the same problem too. I have a box in the top of my son's closet that I put them in. I really need to get a plastic storage box or something. When I empty his backpack daily, I usually make a stack of what I am keeping and recycle the rest. That stack usually makes it up to the box by the end of the week,lol.
You guys have been busy bees! I can't wait for the book to see just how busy you've REALLY been. I'm sure it's hard keeping projects hidden from the camera!
Ahh- it's mostly hard work hunting down materials and hiding those! Haha. Our playroom and guest room runneth over! And we're not even into the big projects yet (larger furniture, etc).
Thanks for the heads up! Off to check it out!
Love it so much! What a project! And the color of your windowsill is perfection!
I'm so sad I'm not buying furniture right now, I could totally use a sofa bed. Alas, we're saving up to buy a bunch of furniture later. I'm not a local (I'm in Virginia Beach) but my husband and I are planning a teeny-tiny Richmond getaway for our anniversary in a little less than two weeks. Thanks for your Richmond post, it's helped us decide what to do when we get there.
Sorry about being so off-topic.
Love the monthly round-up, it's bound to be very helpful.
Aw thanks Alexis! Have fun here in RVA!
I live nowhere near Virginia and am not in the market for a sleeper sofa. However, just for kicks I went over to your listing. Thank you for writing a decent classified ad. I get so tired of reading only about how someone needs to sell something quick for some much needed cash, or, worse, not showing a picture. You were meticulous about dimensions and even included a suggestion that 2 people come to pick it up. Best of luck!
Aw thanks! We have slowly learned after lots of craigslisting what seems to help! Haha.
Hi! From one type-A gal to another, I thought I'd point out that "December 2011" on the Monthly Roundups page isn't linked (it looks like it should be based on the other months). Not sure if this was intentional–it looks great though!
Hmm, it's not? Maybe try refreshing or clearing your cache? Anyone else having that issue? When I click that month and photo on my end it's linked! So odd!
Just checked back again, and it's working now! Thanks!
Well done on that! It's such a boring and time-consuming task to sort out the archives… I know because I'm putting it off too!
And also, well done on getting so much done last year. I know it will still all take a while longer, but so many rooms are really unrecognizable from when you first moved in. Keep it up.
Ha! Love it! I wish some of your type A would rub off on me. Where do you find time for all of this!? This must be the 2am stuff!
Yes, it's that wee-hours-of-the-morning-habit I'm developing. It's so bad! I need to get back into a normal sleep schedule. We have some book shoots coming up so I keep saying after those (they're intense 4-days-in-a-row-runs for three weeks straight) I'll learn how to sleep like a normal person again!
I totally remember when Isla June started sleeping through the night, which wasn't until about six or seven weeks. And I was soooooo sleep deprived, but I couldn't sleep! It's like my body had learned to stay awake all night and sleep in three hour shifts. Ugh. I don't miss that time.
So, all that to say, I don't know how you're doing it. I'm definitely sending you lots of good vibes and prayers during this crazy hectic time! One step at a time, right?
Oh, and is it totally crazy to say that I would loooove to buy that sofabed just to say I had a John and Sherry original! I mean I'd have to drive 3 states away…totally doable.
Aw, you're so sweet Meg! It would be pretty funny to send our sofabed off to live in another state! How exotic. Haha.
Wow, way to go! This is like 6 posts in one day :) Thanks and good luck with the tile laying!
I'm moving to a new place this weekend and can't wait to use some of your inspiration to decorate.
Aw, good luck with everything!
I love it! Thanks for rounding those up for us. You are so impressive though, really, to fit that in between all the other stuff going on. You really do love us, eh? (Or maybe equally as true: you really are that type-A, eh?) Either way, love it and thank you!
Haha, I really do love you guys! It's true!
That couch would be so ideal for me! Unfortunately I'm about 6 hours away…boo! I'm sure it will go fast!
Great Idea! We've been planning to do something similar once we hit our one year mark in our big project house. We've already checked 94 items off our List in 8 months!
Haha, yeah – that might be one too many!
'Reality shows with no sound' that's brilliant!
Hey Thanks! This organizational thoughtfulness is one of the things that makes your blog so popular – nice job folks.
Wow.. Y'all have been busy!
So I can admit now that I hated that sofa bed?
Haha, to each his own! We certainly wish we had a spot for him here (he's still very much in our "we like him" category).
We actually used to use Vimeo all the time but everyone with smart phones said they didn't load so we went to youtube! So sorry they're slow to load!
it's funny that this is one of your shorter posts but it represents a TON of work! Thanks for doing all that!
Haha, you're welcome! You might notice shorter posts across the board this year! We're definitely trying to cut down on the babbling and get to the point since we have so many other things to juggle (the book, secret projects for the book, some speaking gigs, etc)!
Yay! I'm all for shorter posts. While I love reading through them daily, sometimes its tough to keep up given the sheer volume of words.
Here's hoping you can be more concise without omitting all those helpful details that we love!
i have to say i miss the posts you used to do. The blog seems to be more about reviewing the couple projects you did each month instead of heavy on projects. Maybe it's just me. Of course I still read your blog daily and am thrilled you guys are writing a book.
Did you miss yesterday's post? We're tiling the kitchen backsplash and will be back with another update tomorrow! And this afternoon we have a quick art project to share. Did you see December's round-up? I think it's safe to say that we do more than a couple projects each month! Just last week I shared some DIYed holiday gifts, cheap blackout curtains I made, our newly painted kitchen cabinets, and a play kitchen that we made Clara. We've been busy!
Yup Kristin, it's just you.
I apologize,'couple' was definitely the wrong word and I was only trying to make an observation not insult. I hope it wasn't taken the wrong way. Also, I still love the blog.
No worries! We've certainly learned firsthand that not everyone will love every one of the 2,000+ posts we write – so we just tackle projects and write posts about what feels right to us! It's been our only "formula" since day one, and we're really happy with where it has gotten us!
And I can't even argue with him really. I am very awkward.
Especially on my birthday apparentely.
Love the new monthly buttons btw. I actually just easily found one of your project that I was searching for for like ten minutes a couple of days ago to show my husband.
Haha- yay Team Akward! And so glad you found what you were looking for!
I just had to reply to Lauren's comment. I read your 'awkward' blog post and it is hilarious! I mean – I'm so sorry you had such an awkward day, but you're such a good sport for writing such a funny post about it. And yeah, I think it's safe to say we all probably have a bit of awkward in us – it's what makes life so fun!
Everyone at work thinks I'm batty now, which is fine, since I am. I was just hoping they'd never find out.
The button on the sidebar is so pretty, it is frameable. Greens, blues and purples are my favorite AND the color scheme in our house. Nice work.
You two cease to amaze me with all your projets! I starting following you/stalking you (LOL) on line since April. I love to see what you two do each day. It's part of my daily routine now. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see the finished kitchen. You must be exhausted each day when you lay your heads down on your pillows at night.
This is wonderful! I knew you guys had made a TON of progress in the last year, but it is fun to go back and see some of your earlier projects again in a managable way. So excited to see what 2012 holds!
Love it! And, you inspired a Christmas Tree renovation of sorts. Had a dinner party this weekend and wanted to tone down the "Christmas" since our tree is still up. (It's a live tree we put up Christmas Eve and I felt too guilty to take it down so soon after putting it up.) I stole your paint chip ornament idea and replaced all the really Christmas-y ornaments with bright colored paint chips hung with orange ribbon. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the new feature! Craigslist tip – use big photos to get things to move faster. I ALWAYS love seeing big pics on listings. It's easy to do, just add your full size image to photobucket (or similar source) then copy the HTML codes into your listing after the description. Upload one regular pic under the CL 'photos' area so something will show up on the main page to scroll through. It makes such a huge difference with the replies I get for items!
Woohoo! This makes things much easier! You guys are so organized! Thank You for spending so much time just to make things easier for your readers!
You're welcome! We love you guys!
Oh my gosh that's hilarious!
Love the monthly recaps! I read through January's this morning and stumbled upon a post I hadn't seen (How did I miss one?!?! Are there more out there?!?) about Gina and Lars. Or Gina and Vector.
Hahaha- sooooo glad I'm not married to that.
Now that is a great idea.
Can I also add a comment on the blog layout?
I like how everything is layed out except for that very first google ad. Do you think it is possible to move the first add further down so that it is on top of the Sponsored adds? Sometimes that add is pretty distracting. I think it would also be nice to have "story of two DIY dorks" a little higher on the blog which would be accomplished if the ad was moved down.
So sorry- that ad has to remain above the fold! It's one of the things that makes this possible as a full time gig for us, so we're very grateful for it! Haha.
Target has white ceramic horse heads. You are probably way ahead of me on this given your love of all things of the white ceramic variety, but just in case you missed them…. My husband vetoed them because he said it was all a little too "Godfather" for him. Although I did score some awesome gold, glittery, bejeweled giraffes from Home Goods. He probably wishes he had said yes to the horse heads. Loving the kitchen reno thus far! Can't wait to see the completed penny tile.
Oh yes, I saw him! Very regal indeed! I already have a ceramic horse head so I'm limited to one per house (as per the hubby's rules). Haha.
This doesn't have anything to do with this post, but I saw this on Pinterest and immediately thought of you guys!
Oh yeah, we're obsessed with that! It's amazing!
Hmm, the chairs could be fun! I think the back of the island might be too much with the grellow walls! But definitely something to think about!
Really nice job, Sherry. You continue to amaze me with your great multitasking skills and "Energizer Bunny" personality! Your blog is, and I believe, will always be, my favorite. Thanks for keeping me entertained on a daily basis! Love you guys!!
Thanks Jill! You're so sweet!
BENTO ME!!!! I cannot contain my laughter lately. Why is it that things become funnier when it is inappropriate to laugh?
Love this format! As someone who is current up to May 2009 in catching up man-o-man do I wish your YHL secret nighttime elves would do this retroactively!
I would also ask said elves for a Quick Petersik Round-up for all your outside YHL appearances (RIP babycenter) for interviews, guest blogging, articles, and most importantly THE BOOK!
Haha- I love that idea! Would be fun to put together one of these days (or nights…). We do have a lot of press links at the bottom of our About page (with our DIY columns and other stuff we "contribute to" on the bottom. Hope that helps in the meantime!
But I want it NOW, you want me to click AND scroll!
Haha. Better tell the secret evening elves to get on it!

The Dark Side of the Moon in Kunlun Legend
FredAsh 19 Sep 2022
Ziluo looked at him in surprise and suddenly remembered the words of Yunlou: Five hundred years ago, Cangwu and the goddess of the shadow of the moon had met.
The fourth chapter frost mirror does not cherish the body like smoke Just when the thunder and fire had already hit the top of the head, a very bright golden light rose from the other side of the weak water, and in an instant, it swept across and turned into a curtain of light, which enveloped the top of the sand girl's head and blocked the sky! Yin Lei was blocked, more than rage, immediately doubled, to the golden light blast! Nine days of thunder is one of the five ancient yuan Li, fierce and incomparable, even the true immortal may not be able to resist, this golden light was a thunder, suddenly dim down. See golden light suddenly a rise, into a ball of fire, unexpectedly gave up the thunder, Peng fell on the back of the moon. With a miserable cry, the moon spits out the blood together with the inner alchemy. The golden light immediately followed and swept the inner alchemy away in the air. But the overcast thunder did not have the golden light to block, the volley explodes, all hits in the moon mirage top of head! Without the protection of the inner alchemy, the body of the moon is as soft as a baby. How can it withstand such a huge force? Suddenly, the skin of the whole body was cracked, blood dripping down, and the white sand was soaked red in an instant. Fortunately, after all, she had hundreds of years of cultivation, fighting for the original God's serious injury, and completely sprayed out a mouthful of True Qi to protect her body, only to barely avoid the difficulty of being crushed to pieces. However, the thunder in the sky is faint, and the second thunder has already taken shape. Now that she has lost all her magic weapons and is badly injured, how can she resist the thunder behind her? Her eyes were full of despair, and she stared at the golden light that had seized the opportunity to take away the inner alchemy. The golden light protected the inner alchemy and slowly fell to the ground. The dazzling light dispersed and a figure appeared. The man was dressed in shabby blue clothes, as if he had not been repaired for many years, and his knee-length red hair looked a little messy, flying in the air. His face looked very young,304 Stainless Steel Bar, but in his golden eyes, it seemed that he had experienced endless years. Behind him, a pair of golden wings opened slowly, but his face, which was originally down and out, was extremely dignified and cold. The golden inner alchemy was held in his hand. Ziluo rushed forward and said angrily, "Who are you?"? Why did you take away the inner alchemy? Without looking at her, the man sneered, "Cang Wu, the second son of King Jinwu." Ziluo exclaimed, "So it's you!"! Thieves, liars, robbers! What are you doing here? "Just like you," said Cang Wu with a sneer, "for the goddess of the shadow of the moon." Instead of answering, he stepped forward and stood beside Yueyi, looking down at her bloody face. He said with a sneer, Stainless Steel Welded Pipe ,Stainless Steel Decorative Pipe, "Yueyi, I've been looking for you for thirty years, but I didn't expect you to flee back to the Kunlun Mountains, lurking at the bottom of the Weishui River in an attempt to escape the disaster.". Little did they know that the people of the Bluebird Clan had sinned so much that they did not seek to escape from the body and ascend. Once Xiuzhen crossed the plunder, he would die under the triple punishment of heaven. "I know," said the moon with a hard gasp. But I have to.. The second thunder is coming. Please give me back the inner alchemy first. Cang Wu said coldly, "How about handing over the innate Xuanji hidden in your body, and I'll give you back the inner alchemy and let you go through the robbery by yourself?" The Moon Mirage shook her head and said, "For so many years, Congenital Xuanji has been assimilated with my original spirit. If I hand over Congenital Xuanji, both spirit and form will be destroyed immediately. The disaster is imminent. My efforts for hundreds of years are hanging by a thread. Please help me." Ziluo saw the mirage of the moon, his face bathed in blood, and he was still pleading with the enemy. He could not bear it, so he stood up and said, "You are Prince Jinwu in vain, but you are taking advantage of the danger of others like this. Don't you feel ashamed?" Cang Wu snorted coldly, "This congenital Xuanji was originally the yuan Dan of the roaring cloud smoke beast I domesticated. Later, by chance, the cloud smoke beast escaped from the lower world and was captured by a human in Langfeng Valley.". In order to seek longevity and strength, this man did not hesitate to forcibly merge with the cloud and smoke beast and become a half-beast and half-human monster. Thirty years ago, I killed this monster and cut my heart to find Xuanji. I didn't expect that this bluebird woman had been peeping around and took the opportunity to steal and escape. It was not easy for me to find out where she was and force her to hand over Xuanji, but what shame is there to return it to its original owner? Zi Luo's face turned pale again. "Is the half-orc you killed called Fei Chen?" "Don't ask," she said with a wry smile. "He's the one who killed your father, Fei Chen." "Is it your father?" Cang Wu glanced at Zi Luo and said with a sneer, "What a coincidence.". Do you want to avenge your father's murder? Ziluo was stunned. He shook his head and said, "No, I hate him.". " Cang Wu looked at her and was about to say something. The earth suddenly trembled, a loud noise in the sky, a huge thunder and fire, like the collapse of mountains, straight down! The moon let out a desperate cry and closed her eyes. Cang Wu frowned and suddenly threw a golden flame from the bottom of his sleeve. The flame saw the wind and grew, and in an instant it was the size of a hill, and it went up to the second line of thunder. There was a loud noise, and the whole world seemed to be cracked open, showing blood-red scars. And the two groups of thunder and fire held each other for a long time between heaven and earth, expanding a huge red cloud, covering half of the sky. Thunder bursts in the red clouds, countless golden light, pearl light, glass light scattered like fallen flowers, beautiful and amazing. Holding the formula in his hand, Cang Wu urged the golden thunder to contend with the dark thunder in the sky. "I didn't mean to embarrass you," he said to the moon. "I want this innate Xuanji to save a person, a person I love. In order to save her, I have been waiting for five hundred years, even if I suffer more and kill more people, I will not hesitate. Ziluo looked at him in surprise and suddenly remembered the words of Yunlou: Five hundred years ago, Cangwu and the goddess of the shadow of the moon had met. He came both for the goddess of the shadow of the moon and to save the woman he loved. Could it be that he was talking about the same person? Cang Wu looked up at the distant sky. The golden wings behind him were dancing in the clouds. He could not calm down for a long time. He added, "These seeds of thunder were picked from the Thunder Cave by the people of Liuzhi. After decades of refining, they were able to compete with the thunder for a moment.". I do this to give you a chance, if you are unrepentant, when the seeds of thunder are exhausted, you will immediately hit the top of the thunder, turn to ashes, and never be born. If you hand over Xuanji,Stainless Steel Decorative Sheet, I can give you a chance to turn around. "My life and death are all in your hands," said the moon in a mournful voice. "I beg you to do good deeds to the end and help me survive.." Cang Wu's face sank. "Insatiable greed." With a wave of his hand, he was about to remove the thunder seeds. sxthsteel.com
