ADAM MONTANA: "We're getting close to a real window of opportunity!", 13 JULY

Here's where my thought process is going, and I am getting more confident in this on a daily basis.

Iraq is stillllgoing over election results from what seems to be ages ago... this is no different than most other election years, except this time there seems to be a LOT less drama, accusations, etc. Sure, there is still a bit of finger pointing... but this is NOTHING like what we've seen in the past.

 One example that stands out very brightly is the first Maliki vs Abadi race. There was basically kicking and screaming about those results! But at the end of the day, it all cleared up and we were left with Abadi for a few years.

  IMO that was a great thing!

 Now...it is being announced that we're maybe a couple weeks from a true resolution and seating of both sides, and despite what would have historically been a time of extreme uncertainty, that's not what I'm seeing and hearing.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

Quotes:  "While the member of the Council of the leadership of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Areez Abdullah, that "the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party have agreed on a semi-final to declare their alliance immediately after the ratification of the election results."    "The new Kurdistan Alliance will strengthen the bargaining power of the Kurdistan region with the political blocs in Baghdad to form the largest coalition and the next government," adding that "the share of the two parties in government positions and determine the personality of the President of the Republic will be subject to dialogues between the two sides in consultation with other Kurdish parties ".

Given that lack of turmoil, coupled with the above  quoted sentences, that gives me confidence that the Kurdish side is going to emerge as very confident in their position, the GOI in general is going to be moving in short order, and some of these HCL rumors I'm hearing are going to be surfacing.

That means we're getting close to a real window of opportunity!

Stay grounded, because the next couple weeks might just surprise a lot of us.

Shirdi Sai Baba & Kali Mata appeared in my dream on Diwali Day 2014

Oct 23, 2014 @ 2.45AM, Taipei – Before I went to bed last night, as always I wished Shirdi Sai Baba a good night. However, since I knew it was Diwali I asked him to appear in my dream. Whenever I’ve asked Shirdi Sai Baba to appear in my dream he has always appeared and answered any questions I may have had, blesses me with Udi (sacred ashes),or we simply have some fun together (dancing, visions, etc.).

In my dream this morning, I was in a very beautiful house. On some level I knew that it was my house as I was familiar with it, but on another level I could not remember any of my previous homes that were designed that way. Shirdi Sai Baba was walking around the house with me and I was so happy to have him there. As I joined my hands and kneeled down, my eyes were flowing with tears of joy. Then I started to float up towards the ceiling. As I reached the ceiling, I thought to myself “Wow, this is really cool, I wonder what will happen when I pass through the ceiling, and what exactly is happening here?” I then heard a voice saying “Kali Mata is here”. This was also a great blessing, but I became a little hesitant and self-conscious after hearing that voice. Due to my hesitance, I stopped floating up and woke up from the dream.

As I opened my eyes, I saw Shirdi Sai Baba’s face in front of me. His hand was placed on his chin as if he was thinking. I continued to look at him with my eyes open for about 4 seconds until his face slowly disappeared. I then noticed that my body was sweating, my heart was racing, and I was breathing very heavily as if I had just run a marathon. In a future article, I will share the significance of these physical symptoms that occur after a Divine dream.

I have had dream experiences of Shirdi Sai Baba, Satya Sai Baba, Krishna, Guru Nanak, Shiva, etc. However, this has been the first time that there was a presence of Kali Mata.

I would like to share with everyone that there is tremendous power in prayer, especially before going to sleep. I have had countless miracles happen and questions answered especially by communicating with Shirdi Sai Baba before going to bed. In future articles, I will share some of these experiences.

Shirdi Sai Baba always says, “I give my devotees whatever they want, but I wait for them to ask me what I want to give them”. This is why I always ask him to offer me experiences that He wants to give me. In this way, I am always surprised and fascinated by experiencing him in my waking or dream state.

This was a wonderful Diwali blessing that I would like to share with everyone.

I doubt any of my pals are surprised I didn't manage to post a DadaFest write-up part two. Distraction, distraction... That's my problem. Sometimes I fire so many simultaneous thoughts that they lead me around in exhausting circles, and leave me in a woeful state bemoaning that I haven’t completed any project. I hope this will change this New Year. If you are ever on the end of my distraction issue – apologies. OK, I have had a weight of annoying health issues too, but the...

Penny on protests... then and now!

23 January 2011

Penny and Gabriel, Liz Crow in background at  protest a few years ago

It’s Sunday, late evening as I write this. I’m preparing myself for the protest in London tomorrow, as we take to the streets to show our anger at the savage cuts about to hack us hard. Cuts that slice our human rights to bloody ribbons too. I haven’t been on an action for some time. From a personal perspective they have always made me nervous and even insecure, as though I was not really up to it, not made of hard protestor fibre. I’m fragile, I break mentally and...

are actions that ultimately undermine their positions, not effective action.

Playing at political gamesmanship in terms of playing aggressively, bending but not bending the rules and sharp practices are an inherent part of then game.

My garden is under water
Sun Sep 9, 2018 20:20

Its at least a foot deep in the shallowest part, the entire house is surrounded by it but its quite warm to my surprise as I had to go out so Herbert could pee, she wouldnt go out unless I did.

Its been tipping down all day long which is rather a worry because IF the hurricane does come here, all those big trees will be easily uprooted since the soil is saturated.

I'm not too freaked because I noticed this morning that the tide was unusually high so thats probably whats preventing this heavy rain from running off into the bay.

I understand that it is important to keep motivation and moral up in these students but do they end up just memorizing the activity that they complete multiple times with prompts or are they actually learning the concepts that the activity is trying to teach?

Ah! I haven't posted in a while, got a little lazy on the whole updating a blog thing. going to try to keep descriptions short so I don't take up too much space.

I did these squirrel sketches for something we're doing in school.
and then the main sketched inked out.
found one of my favorite pens and drew whatever came to mind- like Paul Williams
Looks like I didn't have as many pictures that I thought I'd have. So, last two are "Of Mice and Men" related, since we're reading it in school- and a drawing of Figment.

So I was out on a hog hunt. No freak’n hogs but a crap load of bunnies. They ate all the corn from 7-2am… O man was I mad… Mad at myself for not having a 22LR or a slingshot. I took a shot with my 300WSM just for shits and uhm… Lets just say I made hamburger out of that bunny.  Each bullet cost me $3… Dang I need to start reloading!!!

So I purchased a slingshot. I will not be carrying two rifles with me- one is heavy enough. This little bad boy will be perfect for when I don’t see hogs- I’ll shoot some bunnies for dinner instead 😉

                                             Pumpkin halwa !!! Ahh , I made it several times. But when ever I find a pumpkin at a store I can only visualize a bowl of hot pumpkin halwa not pumpkin. And these days we find pumpkins every where you know why? Because , it is fall time . The nature is wearing a orange blanket . I make pumpkin halwa, curry, stew, soup.
                                           I din't add much ghee this time as mentioned in the description because I ran out of ghee while making diwali sweets. Good for me in a way I skipped eating ghee . But do add everything as mentioned to get the absolute divine taste of halwa. Ahem Ahem I tried to make a healthy halwa for me so you cannot find some nuts too.

Pumpkin/Gummidikaya                     250 gms / 1 cup
Sugar                                                 1/4 -1/2 cup(adjust to your sweetness)
Ghee                                                  5 tsp
Dry fruits                                           1 cup(almonds, cashew nuts and raisins)

1)Cut the pumpkin/gummidikaya into cubes and pressure cook for 1 whistle with little water until soft.
Then mash and keep aside.
2)Now in a pan, add ghee and fry all the dry fruits turn golden brown and raisins start to puff.
Now add the mashed pumkin.

3)Add the sugar mix well and cook till the sugar dissolves. Add the cardamom powder to it and mix well.
 (without ghee and nuts)

 (with ghee and nuts)

4)Let it cook till halwa thickens.(rawness of the pumpkin should go approx to 10 minutes) . Once the mixture is leaving the pan then our halwa is done. Turn off the flame and serve warm.

A BCBS HOT TAKE Blog: The New York Rangers Land Boston Bruins Defenseman, Adam McQuaid, for Steven Kampfer & Draft Picks

The Rangers added Adam McQuaid to their roster on Tuesday. As a result, McQuaid is the lone Ranger with his name on the Stanley Cup. Photo Credit: Boston Bruins

What’s up everyone and welcome to a rare “HOT TAKE” blog, here on BlueCollarBlueShirts.com. After posting the Giacomin blog on Monday, my original plan was to wait until next Monday to release my NHL 2018-2019 season preview blog. Even now, that blog is going to need some tinkering, with the Pacioretty to Vegas trade, Steve Yzerman stepping down as the GM of Tampa and with Erik Karlsson’s name back in the rumor mill.

However, what prompted me to chime in right away and do a short blog (well short for me anyway) was the Rangers trading for Boston Bruins defenseman, Adam McQuaid. Shit, I feel like Mike Francesa, with his “REVOLUTIONARY” $8.99 app. (I still don’t know what the app is revolting against.) But unlike Francesa, I’m not charging you money to read this immediate reaction!

If you haven’t heard about the trade, here are the full particulars, from the Rangers themselves:

Let me make one thing clear right away – does this trade, where the Rangers acquired Adam McQuaid for Kampfer and draft picks, really change the Rangers outlook for the 2018-2019 season? Of course not. However, landing McQuaid does throw some monkey wrenches into the mix. The addition of McQuaid also shakes up my Rangers season preview blog.

Speaking of my Rangers season preview blog, what a perfect time to get to the plugs section of this blog! In case you missed them, here are my most recent blogs:

Before getting into Adam McQuaid, let’s take a look at what’s going to Boston.

The Rangers sent Steve Kampfer back to Boston, as Kampfer returns to Beantown for his second stint. Losing Kamper is no big deal for the Rangers. They have plenty of defenseman already locked up to big deals, plus have other young faces waiting to make their splash on the roster. If anything, it looks like Kampfer is moving from Hartford to Providence.

During last season, I alluded to the rumors that Henrik Lundqvist and Steven Kampfer did not get along. I usually don’t comment or report on second hand, third hand, or fourth hand rumors, especially since people try to feed me anti-Lundqvist stuff all the time, but I heard the same rumors from people who have never been wrong before.

Trust me, I hate the “My brother knows the third cousin of <Insert Random MSG Employee Here> and according to his sister-in-law, who found out at a hair salon, blah blah blah” stuff too. So what I’m about to tell you, you can take with a grain of salt or you can believe what I’m about to tell you. After all, I never “break stories” here, nor have shared the crazy rumors that I’ve heard over the years. So for me to break my past precedents, should tell you that I’m confident in telling you what I’ve heard.

As mentioned, I hinted at these Lundqvist/Kampfer rumors during last season. You can look at the archives to see what I specifically wrote at the time.

Essentially, with Lundqvist having the worst season of his career, and Kampfer getting more playing time with the team, things weren’t good for the Rangers, as we all know. Lundqvist would routinely blame the defense for bad games in his post game interviews. We are all also aware of Lundqvist’s hissy & sissy fits, where he acts like a spoiled brat and cries at his teammates after a goal. This is not news.

Apparently, after one of Lundqvist’s many acts of poor sportsmanship and subsequently blaming the defense after the game, Kampfer took issue. Kampfer didn’t get in Lundqvist’s face or anything, nor did anything even get remotely physical. So don’t think I’m implying that. However, Kampfer allegedly did mouth back at Lundqvist, as Kampfer defended his teammates.

From there, Kampfer didn’t play the next 9 games and was sparingly used. It would be great if the media did their job today, and asked Kampfer his thoughts about Lundqvist, now that he’s out of New York. I doubt that will happen, just like how the media can’t even get a quote from Alain Vigneault on his firing or can’t even report on what exactly happened between Vinni Lettieri and Brendan Smith. That is, not until James Dolan tells his puppet Larry Brooks what to write.

We all know the power Lundqvist wields in New York. So for Kamper to be traded, I’m not surprised. The only thing that really surprised me was that Kampfer wasn’t traded in June.

End of the story and the Lundqvist stuff aside, in the grand scheme of things, losing a 30 year old journeyman, is not a big deal for the Rangers.

And yes, I’m doing this emergency blog because a little trade like this has me itching for the hockey season to start already! Photo Credit: NHL.com

What I don’t like about the trade, is the Rangers adding two draft picks. It feels unnecessary, just like how it was unnecessary when Senile Sather included two number 1 draft picks in the Ryan Callahan for Martin St. Louis trade.

Obviously, McQuaid is the better player between himself and Kampfer. I don’t think I’ll find much resistance on that opinion. However, when looking at a trade, you can’t just look at your team, you have to look at the other team, and look without bias.

The Boston Bruins have a ton of NHL regular defensemen ready to go. McQuaid, who is beloved in Boston, was most likely to be a healthy scratch this upcoming season. The Bruins are also in WIN-NOW mode, as was evident with their moves at the trade deadline last season, which pretty much backfired in every possible way. Maybe Gorton felt bad about the Rick Nash trade and showed sympathy on the Bruins, thus including the two draft picks in the McQuaid trade.

In either event, McQuaid, who turns 32 years old this season and has spent his entire 9 year NHL career in Boston, was a huge fan favorite. However, with a cap hit of $2.75M and with his role on the team being decreased, he was easily expendable. Keep in mind, Boston is all-in for a Stanley Cup run now, and that $2.75M of freed up money may help them come the trade deadline. For Boston, this trade was a pure salary dump.

In other words, Boston, with a huge stock of defensemen and needing to shed cap space, (As mentioned in previous blogs, the salary cap has changed the sport for the worse, as players are now stocks & bonds are routinely broken) were looking for a trading partner to off-load McQuaid. Enter the Rangers.

Obviously, a straight swap of McQuaid for Kampfer would’ve made a few heads turn, but astute people would’ve understood what Boston was doing, because of the salary cap. At the very most, the Rangers could’ve added their seventh rounder. In my eyes, they didn’t need to add a fourth rounder.

Am I over-analzying a bit and dissecting way too much? Perhaps. However, we’ve seen the Rangers bungle trade-after-trade and louse up draft-after-draft. Four Stanley Cups in 91+ seasons folks. So in that vein, when I see something questionable, I call it out.

McQuaid and McLeod are no strangers to each other. Photo Credit: NBC Sports

What concerns me about the addition of McQuaid, is where does this leave the Rangers defense? In particular, where are the kids going to fit in? And please – spare me the “you need a healthy mix of veterans and rookies” stuff. The Rangers have plenty of veterans on this team, the problem is that now outside of McQuaid, none of them are winners. Furthermore, the Rangers do nothing but draft defensemen, but have most of the roster spots accounted for.

I am hoping that McQuaid is the first part of a two-step trade. What I mean by that is that I hope with McQuaid here, the Rangers do whatever they have to do to move Marc Staal and Brendan Smith. That is how you open up spots for the kids.

As it is right now, you have Marc Staal, Brendan Smith, Kevin Shattenkirk and Brady Skjei compromising 2/3rds of the defense. You know the Rangers have raging erections for Swedish players, so Fredrik Claesson probably makes the team. The Rangers didn’t just give up two draft picks and a player for McQuaid to play in Hartford, so McQuaid probably makes the team on opening night. That’s six defensemen accounted for.

For those not aware or who need a reminder, an NHL team can only dress 18 skaters and 2 goalies. The Rangers already have their forwards pretty much locked up, with a 12th forward spot being up for grabs. Are the Rangers going to only carry 11 forwards and 7 defensemen, with the idea of Neal Pionk being the seventh defenseman?

Unless the Rangers make another trade, it seems that Pionk’s ice time is the biggest victim of this McQuaid deal. What happens to Tony DeAngelo, who was part of a package where the Rangers gave up their number 1 center in Derek Stepan and a goalie who is far superior than Lundqvist in the present day, in Antti Raanta? Does he go back to Howlin’ in Hartford?  What happens to the guy who looks like he has to worry about his SAT’s, in John Gilmour?

If Head Coach David Quinn is this magical guru of player development, as many may lead you to believe, wouldn’t it behoove the Rangers to you know, give him young talent to work with?

Again, who knows how this all plays out and if another trade is made. However, for right now, I think the Rangers have way too much age, and players who won’t be around for the next playoff run, currently on their blue line.

I’m on record already – I’m not a fan of the Quinn hiring at all. However, I will support him and hope he does well. Photo Credit: NYR

Right now, it seems the Rangers have a fetish for anything that even farted in the State of Massachusetts. Their Boston fetish is now nearing their plump and firm hard-on’s for anything Swedish.

I don’t mind taking McQuaid’s cap hit, because it doesn’t mean anything this season. McQuaid will be an UFA at the end of the season, which once again, bares the question – “why were two draft picks included?”

I think the Rangers have one more move in them, before heading into the season. We’ll see.

As far as what McQuaid brings, McQuaid brings physicality and balls. In fact, he’s even smacked Cody McLeod around four times, three times during the 2017-2018 season alone!

Ranger fans, thirsty for a player that they wished Dylan McIlrath would’ve become, will be impressed with McQuaid’s fight card. In fact, you can check out all of McQuaid’s fights by visiting HockeyFights.com or by clicking here directly.

All of McQuaid’s coaches, teammates and fans, have raved about McQuaid’s willingness to leave it all out there, defend his team and the ability to drop gloves whenever necessary. Unlike McLeod, McQuaid isn’t going to watch his teammates get concussed all over the place. The main issue with McQuaid is that he’s a defenseman, on a team full of veteran defensemen. It’s not like he will be taking shifts with Andersson or Chytil, and looking to protect them like he’s a Dave Semenko.

Adam McQuaid married Stephanie EnseRINK (for real) this summer. Photo Credit: JournalPioneer.com

For those who do a little digging into the personal lives of the players, McQuaid was married this past July. The only reason I mention this is because he joins Shattenkirk and Fast as newly married men on the team. Let’s hope all three of these men don’t make the same mistake Brendan Smith made!

At the end of the day, the Rangers got a quality player. It sucks for McQuaid, who really loved Boston and the city really loved him. It was a trade of business. Whether McQuaid lasts the season or not, is unknown. After all, the Rangers could flip him at the 2019 deadline to a playoff team seeking toughness and get back their picks. All we can do is hope he does well. By all accounts, he’s a valuable teammate, and the Rangers need players like that.

Thanks for reading this special “HOT TAKE” blog. Make sure to check out the Giacomin blog out from Monday if you haven’t already.

I’ll be back next Monday with my NHL 2018-2019 season preview blog. Until then, thanks for reading, and as always….

Getting ready to leave

So its coming up on two weeks until i head back down south. I am looking forward to getting out of here for a while. I find that being away has a marvelous way of clearing your head. So i will endeavor on this trip away to get a few things done. I am going to focus mainly on improving my Spanish. Since its rather sad that i have lived in this country for almost 4 months total and i still dont know that much Spanish. I also am going to try and write a short story, and finish a whole song. So i got my work cut out for me.

“Richly orchestrated pop…” – The New Yorker
“One of the finest examples of indie pop you’ll likely hear…” – Consequence of Sound
“Truly euphoric…” – Billboard
“[KAYE] can move seamlessly from heart-wrenching, operatic piano ballads to toe-tapping dance tunes, commanding the stage with her soaring voice and a smattering of feathers and glitter.”
– Idolator
“[KAYE] infuses her infectious pop sound with glam, indie, dance, and R&B, layering it all together with introspective lyrics…” – She Shreds Magazine
KAYE (Charlene Kaye) has returned, releasing “Cheshire Kitten.Popcrush described the new single as “a feminist future-funk anthem as eccentric as a Lewis Carroll character and as catchy as Chaka Khan” –

“Cheshire Kitten” signals KAYE’s first single since the 2016 release of her critically lauded EP Honey, which gathered praise from NPR, Billboard, AV Club, Consequence of Sound, Stereogum and Nylon, and the release of the new full-length, Belong, from Chamber Pop band San Fermin, of which Kaye has been a member since 2014.
The song explores the idea that there are masculine and feminine sides within all of us, and how embracing both is vital to being whole. She told Popcrush, “Women in the entertainment industry are often put in boxes and there’s an urge from the media to categorize us as only one thing, so the song celebrates the fact that we are versatile creatures who can be lots of contradictory things at once. We can be technically capable AND sexual, aggressive and soft, breadwinners and maternal figures-and I wanted the song to reflect that.”
“Cheshire Kitten” will propel KAYE into the summer, with a new video coming in August and other unannounced surprises around the bend.

Here are some pictures of a lounge room I recently redecorated for a client. We recovered her old sofas, added some new slip covered armchairs and lots of new scatter cushions. It's all very fresh and colourful against an all-white background. The lovely client is thrilled! I am hoping she will go ahead with large sisal floor rug which I think would complete the room beautifully but all in good time!! I couldn't help posting a picture of her gorgeous flowering Wisteria which hangs perfectly over her front gate - so pretty!! I wish I had a Wisteria like this growing over my front gate...maybe one day!!

The Value of a Gift~A Father's Day Story

Dear Son as a baby.

The first few years were tough. Taking care of Dear Son was challenging because everything we did was so new. At ten weeks old, he made his first trip to Big Academic Medical Center. He would be there for three weeks, while they diagnosed and attempted to get the seizures under some control. While we were there, they started Dear Son on ACTH therapy which required daily injections of the steroid into his thigh. I don’t remember how often we needed to do it, but I did know that I wasn’t the one to give the injections. As you know by now, I have a weak stomach. Dad was there, and his steady hands were the ones to administer the dose. It was a mess too, because the home health company had delivered adult needles and the needles were bigger than Dear Son’s thigh. We were new to all of this and it was different getting supplies delivered to your door with a newborn; this was eighteen years ago so medical care and everything was quite different than it is today. Once that was resolved, Dad would give the doses every day.

As the months and years unfolded, Dear Son’s disabilities became more apparent. While we certainly knew some of the things to expect, one of the biggest challenges was always the physical one. Everything seemed really hard. It was hard to feed him, hard to lift him, hard to get him dressed. On top of that, I couldn’t help but wonder all of the time, why us. We were normal, healthy parents with a love for health and fitness.
Back then, Dad lifted weights and competed in power lifting and body building contests. In his twenties, he won a contest at a sports event for being the strongest man there. During intermission, they had a contest that involved lifting cases of beer in glass bottles. Whoever could lift the most, won the beer. They stacked the cases on top of each other. Dad won after lifting eighteen full cases of beers. He wasn’t much of a drinker so he gave the beer to his friends.
Dad won first place in this bodybuilding contest in his twenties.
While he was winning a lot of powerlifting contests, he started winning bodybuilding contests and for as long as I can remember, he wanted to be a professional body builder. I remember too days at the gym where he squatted 700 pounds free weights; the bar was bent and there wasn’t any way to get any more plates on the bar and still have the pin in place to hold them. Dad would wrap his knees to keep them from blowing out and I would always cringe and look the other way.
Dad's thighs in his fifties.
He still has some powerful thighs today although a little smoother looking than his ripped days.

Over the years, I began to understand what a blessing that was. Those powerful muscles were no longer just for the gym but to lift and carry Dear Son. I remember when Dear Son hit twenty pounds and wasn’t walking. I thought, “Wow, this is hard.” As other mothers children went from crawling to walking, Dear Son still wasn’t rolling over. I was having to lift him and he was so heavy. It wasn’t just the weight, but it was dead weight since he didn’t have any tone. When he hit forty pounds, I thought, “Wow, this is heavy.” I kept comparing how hard it was to other parents and normal children. They didn’t have to lift their kids. It was hard not to compare everything to other parents but that is all we saw. The neighborhood was full of normal kids and Dear Son was the only disabled one. Through it all though, Dad was there to lift Dear Son.

When Dear Son was ten, I stopped giving Dear Son his baths. By then, Dear Son was growing taller. He was still quite thin and at the 10% percentile for his height. Dad did all of the lifting and by that time, I was growing more thankful for all of those big muscles. He was now in charge of giving the baths and transferring Dear Son to the tub*.

A few years back, when Dear Son hit the 170 pound mark, I was struggling to lift him. I had back surgery to correct some longstanding issues and they also discovered I had three herniated disks from lifting Dear Son. After that, I began using the hoyer lift but I was still unable to get Dear Son in and out of the car.

Soon, Dad began to take over that job too. Now that Dear Son is 185 pounds, he continues to do all of the lifting, where Dear Son is concerned. I know now more than ever that we couldn’t do it without him. Dad goes along on every medical visit and every admission to the hospital. Without a wheelchair van, there really isn’t any other way.

I remember too, being on Dear Son’s Make a Wish trip, seeing the value of fathers. As we sat at the pool, I would see the fathers carry their disabled children in and out of the water, due to the lack of water wheelchairs.

Water wheelchair.

I remember thinking how lucky those children were to have such strong fathers and how no one else could fill that need.

Photo of Dear Son

It was also good to see other parents in the same situation as we were. I grew to recognize the tired faces of the parents and to see that we weren’t alone in our struggle to care for these beautiful children.

Photo of Dear Son at home.

Dad’s value certainly goes far beyond the muscles but now I understand. I understand the reason for those muscles. Those muscles are a gift and there is no better way to use a gift than using it on someone you love. That gift, is what allows Dear Son to be well taken care of, to get his baths and to be able to be moved around instead of having to stay in one place. It allows Dear Son to get to a place so he can receive good medical care and it allows Dear Son to have some fun. Dad’s muscles were not given to win contests, but rather to give love to a child that needed it the most. Happy Father's Day, Dad. I am sure if Dear Son could hug you, he would.

*I now have a hyrdrolic bath lift to raise and lower Dear Son into the tub but Dad still needs to transition him into the seat and back out of the tub. Living in an apartment doesn’t allow for me to make alterations to install a track in the ceiling which would make that job easier.

Note: Dear Son is eighteen years old and suffers from intractable seizures, dystonia and severe mental retardation as a result of a random mutation of the ARX gene. In addition, he suffers from a progressive neurological disease.

deb said...

A beautiful tribute to Dear Son's Dad. [What should we call him...maybe Dream Dad? ;) ]

Happy Fathers Day to all the devoted Dad's in the world, but ESPECIALLY to our "special purpose" Dads.....we could not do it without you guys.

Kristin said...

I love that even though you and DS's dad are divorced you have still continued to be a family.

What a great gift you have given Dear son!

Billie said...

A beautiful post that brought tears to my eyes. Eden has just surpassed the 30-pound mark, and I rely on her Dad so much when a lot of lifting and/or carrying is required. I do worry about what I will do when she is 80+ pounds...

Anne in NY said...

You two are a wonderful example of how a marriage may end, but a loving friendship and committment to family will always remain.

Happy Halloween!  Hah, I know it's not October 1st yet, but it's definitely the season to start thinking about costumes! As you know, I have written for many years about how to create a great costume for kids in wheelchairs and one of my tips was to create a costume built around the wheelchair. Halloween was difficult when Dear Son was a kid because he couldn't hold the Halloween bucket, he couldn't eat candy, he couldn't say, "Trick or Treat" and he couldn't walk. I didn't want that to spoil our fun so I had to get creative. Once I figured out that I should use the wheelchair in our costumes, everything changed.  The Jack in the Box was the first costume I created built around the wheelchair.
My goal in life has been to put the disabled on a level ground with everyone else. At Halloween, my goal is to create a costume using the wheelchair that is so good that normal kids WISH they had a wheelchair just to make their own costume!  This year, my dream has come true! Look at these fantastic costumes!
1. An Ice Cream Truck!  How fantastic is this?  And how cute!  (Thanks Mary Beth for sending me this photo!)
2. A giraffe for a little girl with crutches!
3. Drums for a little girl with a walker!  Really!  You have to look hard to see the walker. Amazing! I know I just that word a lot but the photo speak for itself!

This photo of the red drums was from have a lot of ideas and tutorials for wheelchair costumes,
4. Or maybe a Harley instead of a wheelchair for a day!

5. Or maybe they could be a construction worker?

6. Or maybe a Pirate's Ship!
Photo Courtesy: Sue Ellen Holmes
This year, the sky's the limit for kids in wheelchairs?  Wouldn't it be cool to have a Halloween Parade for the best wheelchair costume? Hmmm....maybe I'll have to do that this year!
After last year's fiasco where they would allow a costume party at Dear Son's school for "religious reasons", this year they'll allow costumes but no party. Really?  Anyway, I have a great costume planned for Dear Son using his wheelchair and will start construction in a week or so. We are getting some upgrades done now that Dear Son has grown so tall and we have to wait until they install the new parts so I can do the measurements to build the costume over the chair. It should be his best costume yet. You can check out his other costumes from year's past here.
P.S. I gave photo credits when the source was identified. There were many photos without any credits and I apologize for those. If you have photo credits for any of the above photos, please advise and I'd be happy to give proper credit.

New Adult

It's a term I've heard a lot over the past six months and to be honest, didn't really understand what it is until recently and I'm still not entirely sure I fully get it. (Reading one would help, but I would love a recommendation before I step into new adult)

New Adult bridges the gap between YA and Adult, where the protagonist is in her early twenties, and experiencing her first serious, mature love, and heartbreak. It's YA contemporary taken out of high school and into college, or experiences such as a summer trip through Europe.

A lot of the ones I've seen have been self-published, but they seem to be doing really well. At first I didn't understand, it's basically romance. The average age of the historical romance heroine is probably close to the same age, but contemporary romance has an older heroine, most are in their late twenties and early thirties, and at a completely different life stage.

And these readers must be hungry to read about heroines their own age, or a little older, stepping into an experience that is on the horizon for the reader.

Part of my reluctance to start reading New Adult is my love of YA is in the big, adventurous stories, Hunger Games, Divergence, Scorpio Races, where the stakes are huge and stories are fast paced and exciting and New Adult seems to be on the other scale, where the stories are intimate and the stakes are internal.

So any recommendations out there? Anyone else eager to start reading New Adult, or do we think it's a brief trend, sort of like the younger sister to Chick Lit?

Eileen said...

I only recently heard that term. I'd love to hear what's out there, too!

Maureen McGowan said...

in the YA world, people have been talking about this for at least five years and it hasn't gone anywhere. Which made me really, really skeptical about whether it ever would. On the other hand, it's never made sense to me that books written about that age group wouldn't sell, or wouldn't have a market.

If if college aged kids are too busy to read fiction, teenagers want to read about college kids, and adults want to revisit those years. Seems to me there'd be a huge market.

Maybe it will find a life in a romance context. And maybe it is e-books that will really help these books take off. I think the reason it hasn't taken off yet is that publishers (even the ones actively seeking it, like SMP) couldn't find a way to market it and booksellers were disinterested.

And it's a dumb name. New adult? Dumb. Sorry SMP editor who coined it. Who wants to self identify as a new adult? Not that I have a better suggestion, and lord knows dumb names have caught on in publishing before (chick lit, hen lit, yikes). So, I think I get why it hasn't taken off yet and didn't work for traditional publishers and booksellers...

But for digital only (or digital mostly)... marketing is different. And the e-book-stores can market to people who've bought a lot of romance-centric YAs...

My publisher, ACP, picked up one of the first break out success titles in this area: Flat Out Love, by Jessica Park. I've bought it, but haven't read it yet... But will.

Sarah said...

I am skeptical about the term "new adult" (it's kind of confusing, linguistically-speaking), but I do like novels set in this timeframe.

A few of my favorites:

Come See About Me - CK Kelly Martin (she's a YA writer, but self-published this novel and it's my favorite of hers--and she's one of my favorite writers)

Holier Than Thou - Laura Buzo (this is only published in Australia, but can be acquired through Fishpond World)

Unsticky - Sarra Manning (I'd classify this as edgy chick-lit; it's a UK-only book, but I believe all of Manning's adult novels are going to be released as ebooks in the US soon)

Easy - Tammara Webber (I had some issues with the writing, but the college setting is unique and there are a lot of girl-positive elements to the story that made it memorable for me)

Secret Society Girl series - Diana Peterfreund (these are "older" books)

Just One Day - Gayle Forman (I really, really loved this book, I wish it wasn't being marketed as "romantic," because it's not, it's kind of melancholy, but it's done very well)

The last one I'd recommend is more YAish: Lovestruck Summer by Melissa Walker, but it's one of the best I've read in terms of capturing that out on your own for the first time feeling that I think is unique in this "new adult" thing.

Sinead M said...

Thanks, Sarah, those are great suggestions. I've loved Gayle Forman's other works, so I'm going to pick up that one first.

Maureen McGowan said...

I just noticed that one of the books that's been at the top of the kindle charts for the last few weeks is also probably "new adult".

The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden. I think I bought that one too. And I also bought the Tammara Webber book a while ago.

All on kindle though. Sinead we should pick one and compare notes...

Danielle Gorman said...

Easy by Tammara Weber and On Dublin Street by Samantha Young were phenomenal and I definitely recommend starting with those.

People who have more than two dogs are in a special club”

„People who have more than two dogs are in a special club…you know that two dogs are more than twice as much work as one, and that three dogs are as much work as you expected seven to be”  Patricia McConnell

I belong to this unique (insane) group of people who have more then two dogs. I already have three and I plan to have one more (in three or four years) Do I agree with the above quote? Oh yes! I absolutely agree. Is there really such a big difference between two or three dogs? Or there is no difference at all? There is, a huge difference. I will try to show you how my life with G Team looks like and why I think a difference between two or three dogs is immense.

In the beginning was Gacek and all was smooth as silk. One dog is like there is no dog. Silence, peace, I can say it is even boring. Gacek was a very sociable dog so we decided to adopt Gapcio. Despite the increase in our expenses there was not a big change between one or two dogs. Of course, I had to spend more of my free time with both of them. I do believe that every dog needs a one to one time with his owner. So this was obvious for me, when we adopted Gapcio .

And there was a time when Gunia arrived and turned our world upside down. Literally. I do not regret having three dogs (I am thinking about the next one so…) But I do admit, it is craziness. I devote not triple of my time for them, but it is more like seven times more. The progress was geometrical. The combination of dogs that I have has definitely had a huge impact on this; two hyperactive terriers plus reactive bully breed. It would have been easier if I had over-weighted Bassets or English Bulldogs. In addition, I am not an average owner and I do not intend to be one. My dogs do various sports, go for a long walks each day, do fitness six times a week, they go once a week to a rehabilitation center and we spend each vacation together. I often put theirs needs above my own but I do enjoy it. I think you have to really love this, because otherwise you will get crazy with three dogs (or more).

I would not
had decided to have three dogs if I had not been living in a big house. It is not about having a yard – my dogs are often too tired (after walks or training) to play outside. It is about a comfort zone to rest. I believe that the reason why my dogs are in such  a great relationship (there is not bickering, no rivalry between them, they can share a bone) is a large space they have at home. They do not invade each other private zones. They can stay in separate rooms if they need to. They do not have to pass each others, sleep close to each other if they do not feel like it. All three have their own beds, crates, couches. If they want, they sleep together, if not they have a choice.
I am convinced it gives them a big mental comfort and decreases the chance of conflicts. I do not think it is impossible to have three dogs in small apartment but if you ask me I would not do it.

What has changed since we have Gunia?

1. Number of walks during a day
I usually go for a two long walks each day. One with boys and one with Gunia. There is no exception from this rule. Every dog needs its walk, but taking all three together, is rather a suicide mission. It only happens when I have my Mom or boyfriend with me. Otherwise I walk the dogs separately. There is still a lot to work through with Gunia and I can not do it, if I am not alone with her. Gapcio and Gacek are hyperactive, and sometimes they can bark because they have seen something interesting. For Gunia this bark can mean there is a danger on the horizon. So it is better for all of us to keep them separate during the walks. I also go for individual walks with boys – I think they need it, to be alone with me. We also have dog friends meeting. It all takes a lot of time.

2. Chain reaction
Three dogs
are a pack. I have no idea why they have to get all the bad stuff from each other. When Gapcio is barking because the guests are coming (we are working on this one, it is reminiscences of his past) there is 100% chance the rest will follow. That is why I believe it is so important to spend some individual time with each dog.
Gacek hates GSDm so will Gapcio if they are together. Dogs share emotions and play „do as I do” very often. It is much more visible when I have three dogs than when I only had two.

3. Expenses
Three times more then when you have one dog. Sometimes people say there is no big difference when you have more dogs. No, there is! I have to do three blood test each year, buy three times more food, medicines, toys, all gears, collars, competitions, seminars. It is just mathematics and you will not cheat it.

4. Trips
with one or two dogs are easy. When you have to go with three dogs it is hardcore. Just try to place them all in a car. Mine travel in crate, but for long trips there is not enough space for them all. Gacek is on a backseat with our baggage. So the truck and the backseat is fully packed and you only have left two places for humans.
I also can not imagine travels with whole G TEAM by public transportation. It is also difficult to find a hotel that will accept three dogs and going to the restaurant can be challenging.

They take three times more space.
It really matters when you go somewhere. In hotel I have to have space for thee crates, three bowls. If I suddenly had to rent an apartment I would have to find a large one.

6. Training
If each of your dog is on training it consumes most of your free time :)
Gunia and Gapcio do mantrailing, all three practice recreational agility – and the first issue, I will not go for a group class with three dogs. Gacek does nose work. Gapcio’s main sport is obedience and he takes part in competitions. We also do fitness and weight pulling.
Gapcio goes three times a week to indoor venue, Gunia and Gacek go to a venue once a week. We have to travel to do mantrialing and home workout takes 45 minutes. Try not to work with all three off them and you will feel remorse for the rest of the day ;)

7. Daily care
ding a right person to take care for one dog is not so difficult, for two dogs is harder but still possible, for three dogs it is almost a miracle. Even if your friend is so kind to help and takes your dogs work a walk. What do you think she will say it you ask her to go for two long walks?
I have a huge comfort with my Mom and boyfriend. They can handle G Team pretty much the same as I do. If not for them I would have been very much housebound. There are places where I can not take my dogs – just for safety reasons.

8. No rest
There is no free time. I am joking, there is after 4 houres of walks and training and fitness. Then I have my time until
evening. My dogs are calm and rest at home. But it is not a coincidence They have so much to do during the day they simply need to rest.

9. I only have two hands

Managing three dogs is a tough thing to do. Especially when one wants to pee, the other one has to sniff something on the other side of the road and the third one has just noticed a cat. Even the most calm and nice dogs, when they are in pack tend to behave differently. As i have already mentioned they are under each others influence and they are more prone to act instinctively. It is difficult to physically control them when there is an emergency situation. Two dogs are two leashes and two hands, three dogs are three leashes and still two hands. Sometimes I wonder why evolution did not grant me additional hand. Especially when I have to put a muzzle on one of the dogs, while keeping the others in one position.

10. Unlimited Love
Three dogs are unlimited amount of love and attraction. You will never be bored. They will keep you in shape (physical and metal). When you wake up feeling miserable and the only thing you want to do, is to stay in bed, you will see these faces and life will be a happy place again. With three dogs you will be taking care of your health. You will simply have no time to be sick :)
