We're getting close to having our invitations ready to send out. By "close", I mean we have the invitations and have done nothing with them and somehow think that they'll address themselves. Anyway, I'm gonna get my stuff together (famous last words!) and get to writing out addresses.
Last night I ordered our invitation and reply card stamps on Zazzle. I'm a fan of this company and used them to put The Mister and I's beautiful mugs on our save the date stamps. Wanna see those? Click here. Those were a hit with tons of folks, so when I told The Mister we won't do that for the invitations, he was disappointed. It was fun to see him smile all big when people complimented us on the stamp and I would think, he's into this whole "wedding" business. I think we'll do them for our thank you card stamps (with a pic from our wedding), but those things are expensive! They're like garlic…a little goes a long way.
I had to take screen shots of my laptop to show these because the site wouldn't let me copy the picture. Here's the reply card stamp:
And this is what we'll use for the invitation outer envelope. These folks are actually an African American couple, not just literally the color black. For whatever reason, the color didn't translate too well, maybe if you click on it you can tell… Anyhoo, here you go:
Our invitation envelope is a metallic chocolate color and the reply card is a metallic copper…paper is gold linen cardstock. I'll put up pics and cost info on those later.
Give me the goods on your invitations! Colors? Are you addressing them yourself or hiring out? Formal or casual? Letterpress? Sidenote: my mom is stressing over the casual nature of our invitations. I kind of feel badly for her because she's trying so hard to be nice and be supportive, but she just doesn't like our invites. The best she could come up with was, "those sure are interesting" and "people sure will be talking about those", lol!

It's been a long time since I've done a 'dating chronicles' post, and I figured that now was the best time to write another one since I'll be speaking on a panel at a Teen Dating workshop this weekend. This weekend's panel will be geared more towards dating violence, but this blog post will be kind of an open letter to my younger self about dating.
Don't rush it. I know that it might seem like everyone around you is getting married in their early twenties and starting a family too. That was one of the downsides about starting undergrad in a small town; folks settle down a lot quicker. That's not going to be the case for you and that's okay. Children and marriage will come in due time.
Always have your own protection. This one seems pretty self-explanatory, but it's one I tell women all of the time. Don't rely on a guy to bring the protection, or even have the correct kind. I've heard all kinds of excuses; they're expired, damaged, or the wrong size. It's best to be in control of your health, sexual health included, so take the initiative on the contraception point.
'No' is a full sentence. This goes for so many things in life, not just in relationships. Sometimes you don't owe people an explanation, and it's totally okay to not give one. Say "no" and leave it at that.
Don't be so confined to a list. Yes, you should have standards, but don't be so stuck on a list. When I was younger I was dead set on finding my forever love here in Texas and now that I've traveled more I realize that he might not even be on this continent! I definitely still want someone who has the same core beliefs as me, but I've been flexible on other superficial things.
Don't compromise on the core beliefs. It's no secret that I want to adopt. I've made it known quite a few times here on the blog and if you've spoken to me at least a handful of times in real life it's come up in conversation. That's not the norm, and it often turns guys off when I say that instead of saying that I have the desire to have bio kids. How I feel about my path to parenthood isn't going to change and I shouldn't try to change that just to snag a guy. In fact, I shouldn't have to change my core beliefs just to make myself more attractive to a mate.
It's okay if things fizzle off. I had to learn that not every relationship is meant to go the distance, and how to properly grieve when they end. Not every ending requires an in-person break-up. Some just call for a quick email or phone call and that's okay too. Learn to read the signs that things are ending and don't drag them out longer than they need to be.
Have fun! Yeah, the point of dating is to find someone you want to be with for a while, but dating is also fun! Not every frog kissed will turn into a prince; and not every prince will be the perfect prince for you! It's okay to date around as long as you're safe about it!
These are just a few pieces of dating advice I'd give my younger self, and I plan on incorporating some of them into my panel this weekend. I'd love to hear about some advice you'd give your younger self. Feel free to comment below or DM/email if you don't feel too comfortable posting here. If it's good I might share it (and credit you of course) on Saturday!

When you hear the word "tradition" what comes to mind? For some it reminds them of family activities or customs around holidays or special events. These can be very meaningful and positive experiences that people look forward to. For others tradition reminds them of boring rituals or meaningless routines that were not very meaningful or positive and that they don't look forward to and would prefer to do without. We are all probably familiar with both kinds of tradition – positive ones and negative ones – and when we look at the Scriptures we find this same distinction as well.
Jesus speaks to this issue of "tradition" and its use or its practice numerous times in the Gospels. In Mark chapter 7, as Jesus confronts the Pharisees and religious leaders of the day about their man-made traditions, and the danger that this type of tradition can pose to our faith. Jesus' is not against the practice of tradition, but He clearly condemns placing tradition above the commands of God. Jesus reminds us that what is most important to God is not the outward acts of religion, but the inward state of our heart. Tradition can be a blessing or a curse; it can be a stumbling block or an aid to our worship and obedience to God.
We must rely on God and His Word, not the religious traditions of man. As Christians we are not to be "anti-tradition" any more than we are to blindly follow traditions without evaluating their purpose and meaning in the light of God's Word.
Tradition that reminds us of God's truth and points us to Biblical principles is to be embraced; but tradition that is simply man-made and goes beyond or against the principles of Scripture should be rejected. One writer said, "Tradition is the living faith of those now dead. Traditionalism is the dead faith of those still living."
The point is that we should not just go through the motions of religious worship or service apart from a heart committed to God. Living faith comes from a heart of humility and dependence upon Jesus Christ. As Christians we need to be careful that we say and do is not just for the sake of appearance or obligation, but that it proceeds from a heart of faith and love for God through Jesus Christ. Jesus teaches us in Mark chapter 7 that our greatest priority is to examine what's inside our hearts, so that our outward religious actions – our worship, our prayers, our service and our obedience – will match our inward spiritual reality: a heart committed to God and to His Word through faith in Christ.

This post was supposed to go up yesterday… but in between group project meetings, my mom coming to town, and my event with MiniLuxe last night, the day got away from me.
So lucky y'all: you get two posts today instead of one!
If you've been following for a while (or have checked out my 30 Before 30 list), you know that I attend a lot of operas. I try to see at least six operas per year. And – quite honestly – few things give me as much joy as a fancy night out, all dolled up, to go see an opera.
Years ago, when I was first starting Glitter & Spice, I wrote a post about what to wear to your first opera. Since then, that post has gotten hundreds of clicks (and I've received almost as many emails!). So I thought it about time I do a follow-up post with real examples for y'all to shop!
What to Wear to Your First Opera
Figuring out what to wear to your first opera can be a bit tricky. First off, there are three different attires for opera-going: formal/black tie, cocktail, and dressy casual. As a rule of thumb, opening nights/Saturday night performances tend to skew more formal. Matinee performances (typically Sunday in the mid-afternoon) skew more casual.
If you are invited to a donors' dinner before or after the performance, dress more on the formal side. If, instead, you're invited last minute or have other things going on before or after the performance, it's totally okay to go dressy casual.
Dressiness can also vary by opera company. For the Dallas Opera, most people are in cocktail attire on your average (non-premiere) night. Same goes for the Metropolitan Opera in NYC. The opera festivals (like Fort Worth and Santa Fe) tend to skew more casual. And then at the Austin Opera, you'll find quite a range: everything from ballgowns to jeans.
Generally, for evening performances, I recommend dressing in cocktail attire (or dressy cocktail attire), just to be safe. And, for matinees, I recommend dressing dressy casual. If the opera is being performed in an amphitheater, dressy jeans are actually acceptable. And – in the event you needed this spelled out – workout clothes are never appropriate for the opera.

Missouri House Safeguards Religious Liberties
Legislation designed to safeguard the religious liberties of Missouri residents passed the state House with a 126-30 vote. HJR 2, sponsored by Republican Rep. Mike McGhee, would amend the state Constitution to clarify the rights of Missourians to pray and acknowledge God in public and private settings. The bill includes a key provision stating that public school students have the right to pray and acknowledge God in school. Students also would be assured of the right to express their religious beliefs in written and oral assignments.

If I had to pick a question that I get asked more than any other out of the top of my head (apart from supplements) that question would be "what do I eat to get muscular"? Most people think that when you are trying to gain muscle that you can eat anything in sight as it doesn't matter when you are gaining muscle.
Well I got news for you my friend because it actually it does. It matters when you eat, and what you eat.
Let me explain
Your thyroid glands, the T3 and T4 are the ones responsible for regulating your metabolism. Simply put when you get lots of calories in the production goes up, when you don't get many calories in the production goes down. But as with anything the body will eventully adapt and become stale. That is why you change your workout every 4-6 weeks because the body starts to adapt and so the workouts will become less effective.
Eating in excess of your caloric needs each day is unnecessary and you might well find that you are putting on weight in the wrong areas. In essence they are outsmarting their bodies.
War is not won by effort alone, it is won by strategy.
Buildidng muscles or losing fat is all about optimising your hormone levels and certain foods release certain hormones.
Protein will stimulate the release of the hormone Glucagon.
Carbohydrates will stimulate the release of the hormone Insulin
Fats will stimulate the release of the hormone Testosterone.
So what is nutrient timing?
To put it simply it is the science of eating certain nutrients at certain times. By nutrients I mean Carbohydrates, Protein and Fats.
There are three critical workout windows as you see in the figure below…
The Energy Phase – Occurs 1-2 hours before the workout. Aim for fast digesting proteins such as Egg Whites and White Fish. I train in the mornings so I tend to avoid any foods with dietary fats as they take a long time to digest, and it feels uncomfortable training with food waiting to be digested. When there is a presence of fats in the blood stream and carbohydrates together it can lead to fat storage.
During my workout and after I sip on a carbohydrate drink with BCAA to spike my insulin in order to combat cortizol and start my recovery. Having carbohydrates during the workout (when insulin sensitivity is at it's highest) enables me to reduce the number of carbs later on in the day.
Working out is a catabolic process, you break down your muscle tissues, and break down nutrients such as protein etc.. for muscle repair hence the importance of eating quality fast digesting proteins before your workout.
The Anabolic Phase – occurs after your workout. This is the time when your insulin sensitivity is at it's highest (during training and immediately after training), your muscles are like a "sponge" they are able to absorb a high amount of nutrients with minimum spillage into fat storage. Your biggest meal should be after your workout.
Aim to eat plenty of proteins such as white fish, chicken breasts and slow digesting carbohydrates such as quinoa. Quinoa is a super food because of it's high content of proteins. It contains ALL the essential amino acids, and 18 amino acids in total.
The aim of this phase is to replenish your glycogen stores and minimise protein breakdown and start the process of rebuilding your muscles.
You should not be eating fats during this phase as they will take time to digest before being available in your blood for your muscles to absorb which would delay your recovery.
The Growth Phase – This is the phase for the rest of the day. This is when your body starts to shift from a catabolic process to an anabolic one. Your insulin sensitivity begins to wane so we say goodbye to Carbs and hello to Fats and Protein.
As I mentioned above Fats play an important role in muscle growth because they release certain hormones other nutrients do not. Fats will not make you fat, not if you eat good Fats such as full eggs, avocados, olive oil, nuts etc..
For the rest of the day, eat whole meals every 3-4 hours which contain Proteins and Fats. One food that I eat before bed is Cottage Cheese. It contains Cassein which is slower in absorption, it is very light and takes around 7 hours to digest, fueling your muscles with protein while you are asleep!

These days, former city councillor Sarah Doucette enjoys hanging out in her backyard garden with her two chickens, Milly and Roxy.
Since retiring as councillor for Parkdale—High Park in 2018 after two terms, Doucette has rejoined the board of Friends of High Park Zoo. She volunteers for Stone Soup Network, which matches products and services donated by businesses to people in the community who need them most. She's taking the summer off before looking for work.
Like other former city councillors contacted by the Star recently, there is much she misses about life at city hall, in Doucette's case after choosing not to run for a third time after Premier Doug Ford's government slashed the size of council to 25 wards from a planned 47.
"It took me till the end of March to be able to decompress enough to actually sit down and read a book. I did find December, January, probably February rather depressing. It was very difficult to accustom myself to not being down at city hall and helping people and working through issues," said Doucette.
"When you've done, you know, 60, 70 hours a week for eight years and you're out there helping people, it's suddenly very different to not be doing that. I found it harder than I thought I would."
The hours are terrible — councillors work weekdays, weekends and weeknights, for an annual salary of about $117,164 a year (in 2019), plus benefits. They must be prepared to endure public wrath and ridicule, while trying to make the best decisions for a city growing tall and gangly as a teenager, with the attendant emotional outbursts.
The job application process is months long, expensive and funded by the applicant and their supporters. It requires knocking on thousands of doors to win votes, to be greeted warmly or snubbed and sometimes lectured on the ways in which the city is going to hell in a handbasket.
And yet, every election season produces a new crop of hopefuls and a new crop of retirees — some of whom, like Doucette, have chosen to leave the job, and some whom are pushed out by voters.
In 2018, with the province downsizing the number of city wards, more councillors than usual began packing up their bags the day after the election. We checked in with some of them to find out what life has been like since leaving 100 Queen St. W.
The number one occupation for former councillors seems to be consulting — there is no shortage of public organizations and private firms happy to hire former city councillors. However, they must tread carefully — under city rules former councillors are not allowed to lobby current councillors or city staff for one year after their departure.
Josh Colle, who stepped down as the councillor for Eglinton-Lawrence in July 2018 to let his dad Mike Colle run (he won), and was once chair of the TTC, is now senior vice-president, infrastructure advisory, Ernst & Young.
Sidewalk Labs, the Google sister company behind the Quayside project, hired Mary-Margaret McMahon as director of community for the controversial project. McMahon is an advocate of councillors serving two terms only. She retired from city council in 2018 after representing Beach and East York residents for eight years.
Norm Kelly, who served Scarborough for 33 years municipally and who was an MP for one term, said he did some consulting with Hill+Knowlton in the months following his departure from city hall after he lost Ward 22 (Scarborough-Agincourt) to Councillor Jim Karygiannis.
Kelly has also been appointed senior fellow at the Global Cities Institute at the University of Toronto and executive adviser to the World Council on City Data.
He spent part of the past few months going through 175 boxes of paper he accumulated in office, winnowing it down to 20.
He's closed the side-business he used to run, selling merchandise branded with slogans like "6Dad," after he became an international internet sensation for defending Drake on Twitter in his dispute with American rapper Meek Mill. Kelly grew his Twitter following to more than 700,000 as a result.
These days he's focused on family — he and his wife have five grandchildren — and to reading and gardening.
"I tell you I never knew that there were so many weeds in this world," said Kelly.
In January, Neethan Shan took up the role of executive director of the Urban Alliance on Race Relations after losing Scarborough—Rouge Park by the slimmest of margins.
He misses being able to advocate at council for under-represented communities in Scarborough, and he feels that with larger wards and fewer councillors, these groups will be even less represented.
Shan won his seat under the 44-ward system in a byelection, becoming the first Tamil-Canadian elected to Toronto city council.
He said he hasn't ruled out a return to municipal politics, but a lot can happen in three years. In the meantime, he too, is glad to be able to spend more time with his family.
"I actually enjoy the weekends more now with my kids," said the father of two, ages 5 and 8.
Mary Fragedakis, who lost Toronto-Danforth to friend and ally Paula Fletcher, is now the executive director of Greektown on the Danforth BIA.
"I love my new job. It's a happy place, I'm organizing Taste of the Danforth, I mean, who doesn't love taste?"
She hasn't ruled out returning to office, but it doesn't seem to be top-of-mind, either.
"I guess never say never, but at the moment I'm not looking backwards, I'm looking forward. It's not really healthy to look backwards," said Fragedakis.
Jon Burnside took some time off after losing to Councillor Jaye Robinson in Don Valley West. He sold a food home-delivery business he owned with a partner and is looking to start a new venture. He has his eye on the upcoming federal election, although he wouldn't offer specifics.
He said he misses working with communities, and in fact has a hard time thinking of something he doesn't miss about his life in office, except for some of the long and "often redundant or futile meetings."
"I loved my job," he said.
John Campbell even misses the debates at council, after losing the election in Etobicoke Centre to Stephen Holyday by about 1,000 votes.
"I miss the intellectual stimulus and I miss dealing with and working with the professional civil service," said Campbell, who was appointed to the board of Toronto Community Housing in the spring.

Campbell said will be joining a government relations firm in the fall, but wouldn't name the company.
Glenn De Baeremaeker opted not to run for re-election in Scarborough, after the size of council was reduced. He is now working for the Toronto Wildlife Centre, helping them to raise $20 million to build a new wildlife hospital in Rouge National Park.
"I'm also helping them get all of the various 1,001 approvals that they need from city government, provincial government, federal government and other people. That's everything from getting septic tanks approved, a water supply approved to signs approved to building approvals," said De Baeremaeker.
The one thing former councillors agreed they missed were the constituents, and the opportunity they had to shape the city — Doucette helped make it possible for residents to keep chickens in their backyard as she now does.
De Baeremaeker sees the results of programs and initiatives he supported everywhere, including splash pads and playgrounds throughout his ward. He points to a new library at the Scarborough Civic Centre that he said Mayor Rob Ford tried to cancel.
"It was an amazing job and I'm very lucky. I left sooner than I thought but in hindsight, I'm very grateful that I had 15 years to do really good work."
What former councillors think of the smaller city council
- Among those the Star reached out to, only Glenn De Baeremaeker, who represented Scarborough for 15 years, thinks the new, smaller 25-ward council is working better.
"I actually think it's working very well. And I'm one of the people who supported the smaller council even though it means I lost my job," said De Baeremaeker.
"Certainly the council meetings seem to be going faster, smoother, less arguing and harassment is my impression."
- Neethan Shan, the first Sri Lankan to be elected to council, in a Scarborough byelection in 2017, said that 2018 was supposed to be the year that Toronto council became more representative of racialized communities, but instead, after the number of councillors was reduced, "what happens is that underrepresentation continues."
He said that in the new, larger wards, it will be the more highly organized and wealthier neighbourhood associations that will get more attention.
"It's natural, because they have their newsletters, they have their magazines, and board association meetings and so on. And the ones that have lower incomes, the ones that are not as structured, the ones where families are struggling to make ends meet, so they can't actively participate in associations and so on, have been left out," said Shan.
- Jon Burnside, who served one term before losing to Jaye Robinson in Don Valley West, said he thinks that while the new ward system is probably working in certain quieter areas of the city, like Etobicoke, it's harder for councillors in busier wards to get things done. Important issues remain stuck in the slow lane.
"Ultimately, whether council is three days or two-and-a-half days, the real issue is that successive administrations change policy, and we've seen that with the province getting involved in changing transit policy. That's where the delays are, it's the changing of the government's mind, not the extra half-day of a council meeting," said Burnside.
- John Campbell, who lost to Stephen Holyday in Etobicoke Centre after serving one term, said that while the meetings are shorter than they used to be because there are fewer councillors, the 25 remaining are being deluged with documents relating to their new, larger wards and they can't take as many meetings as they used to with the public and other interested parties.
He points to the irony in the fact that while Premier Doug Ford reduced the number of councillors at city hall, he increased the size of his own cabinet.
Campbell is still interested in municipal politics, but says he wouldn't run again under the current 25-ward system.
"I think that none of these people will be defeated in the next election, it will be impossible for anybody to mount a challenge against them. The wards are too big, it's too daunting."
- Mary Fragedakis, who served Toronto-Danforth for eight years, said that her sense of things, from speaking with councillors, is that they are overwhelmed by the size of their wards and the work attached to that.

Traveling provides new experiences to ponder. Travel not only has physical but has various health benefits too, including a great solution to people suffering with depression, anxiety and stress. However, age shouldn't bound anyone, but traveling while you are young is the best thing you can do. Tripkar brings you top 5 reasons for you to travel while you are young and energetic:
You Have The Energy
Traveling is supposed to be fun, right? You can do almost all sort of fun stuff at this age. Trekking, hiking, bungee jumping, cliff diving –you name it! Wait till you get old and you might get sore knees or a stiff back, and suddenly all the fun stuff goes out of the picture. Or think about it, no one has guaranteed you an 'old age', so you might as well do it while you are young and alive!
You Have The Time
An average Pakistani student gets around 2-3 months of vacations annually, a luxury most working men and women are denied till they are around 60 years of age. Try delaying your travel plans while you are young and you never know you might end up getting too caught up in work to be able to travel later.
Traveling Changes Your Perception
When I was young I used to think that the whole world was like Lahore, the city in which I was born. It was not until I visited other cities in Pakistan that my perception changed. So if you are planning to travel and also have kids, take them along with you to give them an experience they won't forget for the rest of their lives.
Traveling Makes You More Empathetic
One of the top reasons for you to travel while you are young is to become more empathetic. If you live in an urban city like Lahore or Karachi, and you have never travelled to places like Rajanpur, Sibi and Larkana you can never fully grasp the daily struggles of the people living in such areas. Travelling to these places will definitely make you more empathetic to such communities.
Learn Money Management
Traveling is probably the best way to learn how to work well with a budget. You are young and you probably don't have much money of your own, so it will give you a practical experience of making the best use of the limited resources you have at hand!
Compare international hotel rates with Tripkar to book your rooms and enjoy the time of your life at your favorite travel destination!

E-Coli Food Poisoning
Recently Answered
3 AnswersGarrett Shepherd , NASM Elite Trainer , Fitness, answeredMake sure you are eating clean, well-cooked foods and wash your hands often.
2 AnswersDr. Mehmet Oz, MD , Cardiology (Cardiovascular Disease), answered
Escherichia coli (E. coli) infection is caused by fecal material from cattle, and the bacteria can contaminate meat during processing and also spill over into the water supply used to irrigate crops.
In E. coli poisoning, bacteria multiply on food. After ingestion, E. coli eventually lands in the small intestine. As the body's immune system tries to fight off the bacteria, damage is caused to the lining of the intestinal wall, causing blood to leak into the intestinal tract, creating bloody diarrhea. This condition, known as hemorrhagic E. coli, can travel throughout the bloodstream, putting you at risk for serious complications such as sepsis, or blood poisoning. Seek medical assistance if you think you've contracted this invasive food-borne illness.
This content originally appeared on doctoroz.com
2 AnswersSymptoms of enterohemorrhagic E Coli are bloody diarrhea and fever. Most healthy people recover in about a week, however about 7-10% of young children, the elderly or immune compromised individuals can develop a serious complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This complication causes severe anemia from the destruction of red blood cells, which in turn clogs up the kidneys resulting in dialysis-requiring kidney failure. Occasionally, it can even be fatal.
3 AnswersE coli is a bacterium that lives in the intestines of animals and people. Many strains don't cause disease inside the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, but can be harmful outside of it. However there are pathogenic (disease causing) strains that can cause illness inside the intestines, non-pathogenic E Coli is a major cause of traveler's diarrhea (40-60% of cases.) It is primarily caused from unsanitary conditions where human or animal fecal contamination occurs. Drinking contaminated water infects individuals, as well as using ice made from that water or eating unpeeled fruit washed with contaminated water.
2 AnswersA more dangerous strain of E Coli is E Coli 0157:H7, also called enterohemorrhagic E Coli. This strain is a pathogenic strain causing disease and inflammation in the colon (colitis) that can lead to bloody diarrhea. It also produces a toxin that further damages the intestines. The strain is commonly associated with eating undercooked meats, especially ground beef with its increased surface area that provides bacteria with a perfect breeding ground. It is also caused from consuming raw unpasteurized milk and dairy products, as well as produce, grown and irrigated with water contaminated by human or animal waste.
1 AnswerWhen a person is infected with E. coli from food or water, he generally experiences diarrhea and sometimes vomiting. There are also forms of E. coli that can cause a very severe and dangerous colon infection, which causes bloody diarrhea. If you are experiencing bloody diarrhea, you should seek medical advice right away.

CIUDAD JUAREZ/TIJUANA (Mexico) June 20 2018 : Epigmenio Centeno had hoped to cross the Mexican border into the United States in the coming months, but he and his wife have shelved their plans for fear of being separated from their two sons under U.S. President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy.
A postal courier from El Salvador, Centeno, 40, began his journey north with his family more than a year ago, when he found himself targeted in a brutal territorial battle between Central America's two most violent gangs, MS-13 and Calle 18.
The family spent months seeking Mexican refugee status, a step taken by more and more Central Americans heading north, to allow them to avoid extortion or deportation while they gather resources to make the next move into the United States.
The four then slowly made their way up to Ciudad Juarez, where they eventually planned to cross into the United States, hand themselves into U.S border patrol and ask for asylum.
But after seeing news reports of wailing children in cages, Centeno said he now planned to stay longer in Mexico, taking a low-paying job in the kitchen of a seafood restaurant rather than risk losing his children indefinitely.
"But as things stand today, it's difficult, because if you get caught, they take your kids away. I think I'm going to stay here, in Mexico, and establish myself."
A rebound in the number of Central American migrants – most fleeing incessant gang violence in their impoverished homelands – being detained on the southern border prompted the Trump administration to implement the zero tolerance policy.
Parents referred by border agents for prosecution are held in federal jails, while their children are moved into border shelter facilities under the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, a Department of Health and Human Services agency.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said on Tuesday that 2,342 children had been separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border between May 5 and June 9.
The policy has sparked condemnation from Democrats, some of Trump's fellow Republicans, U.N. officials, medical professionals and rights activists.
If more migrants like Centeno choose to stay in Mexico, it could present a new immigration challenge for a country already struggling with a dizzying 11-fold rise in asylum applications from 2013 to 2017.
"I can't risk that they take my girls away from me," said Reina Esmeralda, who left El Salvador with her two daughters, and was in the southern Mexican town of Ixtepec, not far from the Guatemalan border. "I'd rather find work here than risk going further and have them taken from me."
Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray on Tuesday called the separations "cruel and inhumane" and urged the U.S. government to reconsider the practice. He also said Mexico would be working closely with the Central American governments to address the situation.
"The indirect effect of this Trump policy, which I'm sure they were aware of, and don't even care, is handing the problem to Mexico," said Gustavo Mohar, a former Mexican immigration official.
But others within sight of their goal after grueling journeys from Central America said they were unwilling to give up and return to the horrors they had left behind. In the border town of Tijuana, a dozen migrant families interviewed by Reuters said they would try their luck, despite the risks.
Josue Mendez and his girlfriend, Carmen Palma, said they left San Salvador with their three children after Palma was pressured by a gang member into becoming his sexual partner.
Mendez, who has already been deported from the United States, said he was advised by other migrants in the Mexican city of Hermosillo that he should apply for asylum at the border gate to minimize chances his family would be split under the new policy.
"Our plan was to cross to the other side and wait for border patrol," he said, in a migrant shelter in Tijuana, as the family prepared to apply. "They explained to us that it doesn't work like that anymore, and that it was better to sign up and wait here. So that's what we've done."
Vanessa Bonilla also prepared to apply for U.S. asylum, having traveled with her three young children from Honduras. Despite the risks, she was convinced it was better than returning to the gangs she said killed the father of her children and were now threatening her.
"I can't stay back there," she said. "I can't stay in Honduras." – Reuters

The AP is reporting that "bad weather in the north Pacific makes it unlikely that a Navy ship will launch a missile Wednesday in an attempt to shoot down a wayward U.S. spy satellite in space."
A Pentagon official who briefed reporters on technical aspects of the decision on when to make the shootdown attempt said high seas currently are an obstacle for the Navy ship that would fire the missile.
But the official also said no decision has been made yet to scrap the mission, and if the weather improves during the course of the day the launch could go forward. He added that other factors, including the orientation of the satellite in its polar orbit, could influence a decision on the timing of the shootdown effort.
That means the satellite-shooters won't have the benefit of a lunar eclipse, to help them find their target.
And what happens if they do connect? Will the debris trail that the satellite leaves behind change at all, because of the pause? "Not much,"' says veteran satellite-watcher AT – "if it's only a one day delay." (See for yourself here.)
AT adds, "The west tip of Africa will be spared and the tracks over Canada and Australia will be displaced a bit to the west. The satellite will be about 1500 meters lower after a day, so the debris will reenter very slightly sooner."
Just in case the delay is longer than a day, the government has cleared no-fly (and no-sail) zones in the north Pacific through February 25th.

A federal judge is striking down a Kansas law that required voters to show proof of citizenship.
The judge ruled that the law violated the 14th Amendment and the National Voter Registration Act. Under the law, voters had to show a passport, birth certificate or other proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.
The law was championed by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach who led President Trump's defunct Commission of Election Integrity.

Is there coding summer camp this year? I want my son to learn programming.
JJ in Rockville
Panda Programmer: Do you just teach Scratch for programming? What if my child learns Scratch, is there anything else she can study?
Bob (Parent at Diamond ES)
I have a comment regarding Gaithersburg summer camps. My child recently participated in the Panda Programmer Gaithersburg summer camp. It was 5 intense half-days of coding. My child loved it! The instructor made the topic fun and interesting for the children, and actually taught 8 year old children programming. It was a great experience, and we are looking forward to doing another summer camp with Panda Programmer next year. Thanks Panda Programmer!
Alice in Gaithersburg
Hello Panda Programmer,
It seems like my son just wants to sit on the couch and play video games all the time! Does a child need to want to program in order to succeed in your classes?
Linda B
It is my understanding that MCPS does not teach computer programming to kids. At least not to elementary school aged kids. Is this true? Is Panda Programmer offering something that MCPS does not?
Mary L.
Do you offer a Gaithersburg Summer Camp for computer programming? I am interested for my children. They would like to learn computer programming, maybe Scratch programming?
I am looking for a programming class for my 12 year old son. Is there anywhere that offers Scratch Programming in the Rockville area?
Sarah in Rockville
I am looking for a good way to teach my daughter computer programming. Ideally I would like to find a Gaithersburg summer camp, or year-round program in Gaithersburg to be our resource. Is your program typically held as a summer camp, or do you operate year-round? FYI, my daughter is a 10 year old 5th grader. I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks!
Ron in Gaithersburg
I'm looking for a Rockville summer camp where my daughter can learn computer programming. She is 10. Can you help me out?
Joe W.
to whom it may concern:
do you teach programming for kids? What ages?

Teatro Delusio
Teatro Delusio is essentially a theatre within a theatre and the experiences of technicians and backstage operatives performed by the extremely talented Familie Floz. It is a show with no words –although musical accompaniments by the likes of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov amongst others provide an intelligent and atmospheric dialogue of their own- and twenty nine characters portrayed by three actors with only the use of exquisitely crafted, occasionally spooky, masks and lightning quick costume changes.
The narrative hinges around backstage life in the theatre where technicians play practical jokes on each other and dangers the audience are blissfully unaware of lurk in every situation; props, lighting rigs, construction and electricity all conspire to create hidden dangers.
Moving along at its own pace this is a very confident production which is aware that skill and craft are important tools in creating an ambience and are just as effective as big bang effects.
The three actors certainly have their work cut out for them and it often seems unbelievable that there only three of them as they manage to inhabit and portray different characters at lightning speed. The masks adorning their heads are exquisite and expressive but also, as mentioned before, at times a little spooky.
However the show does drag a little towards the end – it is one hour and fifteen minutes long- and I sensed restlessness within the audience around the fifty minute mark thus making the last fifteen minutes superfluous. It is also a show which might not appeal to everyone –although it was a sell out on the day I attended- as its slow pace might not be what everyone is looking for at this early hour of the day and the promise of so much hustle and bustle on the streets. Personally I found it to be an oasis of calm and a welcome relief from the manic activity out there on the streets.
Teatro Delusio is at The Pleasance Grand until August 29th at 13.45 daily

This is close to home. Yesterday's attack on the innocent people in Boston, Ma was not only horrific but very, very sad. I don't know if it has a bigger impact on me now that I am a mom but the thought that there were children injured and killed is heartbreaking. It is always sad to hear of innocent adults and children getting hurt in events like this but for some reason at an event such as the Marathon makes you really ask "why". With 176 people hurt, 17 in critical condition and 3 dead it seems horrible but it could have been so much worse had they not had so many emergency people, military personnel and volunteer staff on hand for the event and leaders with enough forethought to shut down all cell service to prevent remote detonation. In the moments following the explosions it was amazing to see the amount of general spectators who rushed in to help out with the initial evaluation of trauma.
As a psychology major I can't help but wonder a few things. From what was the person or persons who did this thinking to how will it effect the children. The youngest reported was 2 or 3 years old. Will they remember this, will this event be burned into their subconscious, will they develop fears of public places or large events, how will this event effect the older children? So many questions that many may not be answered until the children are older or even adults. Then I wonder how will this event shape future mass public events and how will patriots day be remembered in the future? We are keeping the victims, their friends & family in our thoughts.
As a North Shore resident and an American citizen I hope they catch who ever put this plan in motion and the perpetrator who carried the plan out and not only prosecute him/her to the fullest extent of national law but also make his/her death a public event. We need to bring back the public hangings and public punishments. OH YES I went there and YES I know we are all about "human rights" in this country but I ask you, if this person/group is found guilty do they deserve to be treated like a human or should they be publicly punished? My opinion, if the person(s) are captured, tried and found guilty then they should be executed in a public place with international news coverage. And I am not talking about a lethal injection death it should be a death that the public in this nation and other nations alike can see that the US means business when it come to protecting the citizens and international visitors. Maybe this seems harsh but I believe we have gotten much to lax with punishments for major crimes like these in this country.
On a side note, the IRS is extending the tax deadline for those that qualify. That is nice but I would think that those who were there probably already had their taxes done. I thought this was a little silly, but a nice gesture none the less.

The effect of bus deregulation in metropolitan areasPublished1 January 1989ISBNAuthorPerrett, KE,Hopkin, JM,Pickett, MW,Walmsley, DAPages42ReferenceRR210
This report summarises the effects of the 1985 Transport Act, commonly known as bus deregulation, in the Metropolitan Areas. Despite wide variations in the proportions of bus services registered by operators initially as commercial, all PTEs (Passenger Transport Executives) were able to afford to issue contracts for socially necessary services. Many operators encountered operational difficulties on deregulation day, 26th October 1986, as there were many changes to services. These difficulties were overcome and service levels have increased. However, services are still changing frequently as operators react to commercial opportunities. The new companies set up by the Passenger Transport Executives to take over their bus operations made major reductions in staff and operating costs. Private operators have increased their share of the market dramatically. Competition between operators has increased, both on the road and in bidding for tendered services. There has been little competition on fares. Moreover, average fare levels have risen substantially. Patronage has decreased and by more than would have been expected from the changes in fares and service levels. Passenger attitudes were less favourable to the changes than those in the shire counties. Concessionary fare schemes have been maintained and extended to children and other special groups. Travelcard schemes have generally been maintained, and new travelcards have been introduced by some operators.

I recently purchased an awesome new bird feeder system and it has sparked memories of my childhood. It calls to mind my parents saying, "You can have a pet, but you will have to take care of it." Maintaining feeders is actually a big responsibility and one I don't take lightly. I know that with our hot weather and humidity here in Florida, the feeders will have to be cleaned regularly and water refreshed often. Thankfully, my husband has agreed to help me out (like my parents eventually did) and will maintain the feeders when I'm not at home. It's fun to share this hobby and we feel good about helping out the birds.
One of my favorite games when I was a kid was Hide and Seek. That's the game I now play with the birds at my feeder. Cardinals are especially skittish and will not land if I'm sitting too close or am out in the open. Yesterday, I "hid" in the shadow of a ligustrum tree and it worked perfectly. Two times, large birds (a red-shouldered hawk and a great blue heron) flew right over my head and seemed surprised when they saw me! I almost yelled out, "Gotcha!" I think, if you can fool a hawk, you've done pretty well (patting myself on the back).
Another fun game that we played as kids was Musical Chairs. Birds love it too! There is a popular branch in a distant live oak tree where mockingbirds and woodpeckers give regular concerts. I call this the "songbird perch". Another branch, located directly over a pond, is perfect for the birds of prey and they literally knock each other off for this prime viewpoint. Remember being knocked to the floor when the music stopped? Birds are about that gentle…
It was a beautiful birding day in Florida yesterday. I did have work to do, but decided to "play hooky" instead. I followed two sandhill cranes around the pond, talked to my hummingbird, counted birds, listened to birdsongs and when the sun started to set I remembered a most vivid childhood memory; I heard my Mom's voice, "You can stay out until it gets dark." Time to say good-bye to my friends. Sigh.

NJ Distracted Driving Facts, Part 2: Wildlife On The Road
We've discussed the dangers of distracted driving in New Jersey. And to compound that risk is the newly released information that collisions with deer and other wildlife (like elk, moose or caribou) continue to be high on a national level. The Fall, especially October through December, is a high-risk time for collisions due to deer mating season.
Two major insurance companies recently released noteworthy data about collisions with wildlife.
NJ Distracted Driving Facts
How many times have you seen a car zip by you while the driver is clearly looking down at a mobile device instead of the road? Or a driver who runs a red light while taking a big gulp of a coffee? Or a car packed with people blasting music and unable to hear emergency sirens?
New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the country, and distracted driving is rightfully on everyone's minds. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines distracted driving as:
"…any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system—anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving."
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, when your loved one has died because of the carelessness or negligence of another person, whether it's the result of a slip and fall, a car crash or a construction site accident, you have the right to file legal action to hold the wrongful party liable for his or her misconduct. But can anyone who claims loss because of a wrongful or accidental death seek damages in a court of law? What are the requirements to qualify to file a wrongful death lawsuit?
The Damages Available in a New Jersey Wrongful Death Action
Your loved one has died because of the carelessness or negligence of another person and the emotional upheaval is almost unbearable. But you're also facing financial challenges…the costs of a funeral and burial services, the loss of the income or wages the deceased provided, and even bills for unreimbursed medical expenses tied to the accident. You have a right to seek compensation for your losses, but what can you expect to recover in a wrongful death action?

Wrongful Death – The Basics
In the aftermath of a tragic accident, where a loved one has died, you can be paralyzed by grief and emotion. You know that you have a right to seek compensation for your losses, but you don't know what your rights or how to initiate the process. Here's an overview of wrongful death in New Jersey.

Harvard University student Dario Guerrero Meneses was at a film festival in Maine when he got the call from his father. Doctors found his mother, who the family thought had an unusually lengthy cold, had terminal kidney cancer.
It was early in the fall 2013 semester for Meneses. So, the Long Beach film student tried to push the shock of the diagnosis to the back of his mind while he focused on studying.
"But one day, while I was working on a project really late at night, I decided if I didn't do anything I would regret it forever," Meneses said.
So he picked up his camera.
"When I went home, I borrowed a camera from the school and started filming little moments around the home," said Meneses, now 25. "It's like I became obsessed."
In August 2014, hopes of specialized cancer treatments for his mother, Rocio, led to the family traveling back to Mexico, costing Meneses his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status. He was brought to the United States when he was 2.
When she died shortly after, surrounded by family in central Mexico, Meneses garnered national headlines during his struggle to come back to the United States.
"The only purpose I could see for myself was bringing my mother's ashes home," he said.
The moments that Meneses filmed while taking care of his mother in Mexico and his struggles to return to the United States were turned into the film "Rocio," which Meneses describes as a love letter to his mother. The film will be screening for the first time in his hometown on Thursday, Dec. 20 at Cabrillo High School.
"This was a path that I think is finally ending with the release of this film," Meneses said.
When Meneses joined his mother in hopes of better cancer treatment in Mexico, he was aware it would violate his DACA status, effectively deporting himself. But because time was limited for his mother, Meneses said he couldn't wait for an approval to go to Mexico and back.
So when his mother, Rocio Meneses Diaz, died at 41 in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, Meneses stayed with family for two months as he fought to regain his DACA status.
Coincidentally, an essay that Meneses submitted to the Washington Post was published shortly after his mother's death, which led to coverage by the Associated Press of his struggle to return home. Within minutes of that article's publication, Meneses said, he was told he could come home.
"I realize that I was privileged in that way," Meneses said, adding he feels for others who don't get that kind of awareness.
After coming home to Long Beach, Meneses quickly thought about how to turn his footage into something bigger. In February 2015, he started looking through the clips of his mother, editing them slowly as he took in all of the different emotions.
"I was just lost in the sea of footage and my feelings, trying to make sense of everything," Meneses said. "But I got it started as my thesis project with help from my professors."
The film also includes home movie clips taken by his parents when he was a child. Using those preserved memories, Meneses uses an alternation between the old and the new to tell the story of his mother.
"The present and the past communicate with each other," he said.
The hour-long film is one of Meneses' first professional products, which he's screened at a handful of locations in the nation. Although he graduated from the California Academy of Mathematics and Science in Carson in 2011, he hopes that students at Cabrillo – the area he grew up at – will be inspired by his story.
"I want to show that our dreams are really possible to enact," said Meneses, who received enough financial aid at Harvard to cover tuition and housing. "Especially in these times where negative rhetoric is putting us down, it's important to see how we can overcome."
Meneses added that he has been making occasional trips to the Mexican border near San Diego to drop off supplies for asylum seekers, and that he encourages attendees on Thursday to bring supplies, such as food or clothing, that he can donate on their behalf when he makes his next trip. He will also be announcing a scholarship for high school students, but that the details will be a surprise for the screening, Meneses said.
If you go
- Where: Cabrillo High School auditorium. 2001 Santa Fe Ave., Long Beach
- When: 1:15 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 20

Tiger Woods Expresses Condolences for Employee in Wrongful Death Lawsuit: 'It Was a Terrible Night'
The family of a Florida man who was an employee at Tiger Woods' restaurant, The Woods Jupiter, when he died single-car drunk-driving accident is suing Woods, his girlfriend Erica Herman (who serves as the business' general manager) and the restaurant company in a wrongful death suit.
Nicholas Immesberger, 24, died on Dec. 10, 2018 after working a shift as a bartender at The Woods. Immesberger's blood-alcohol level was .256, three times the legal limit, at the time of his death. The lawsuit alleges that employees knew Immesberger had a problem with alcohol and knew of his disease but regularly overserved him during and after shifts.
The lawsuit, filed Monday, states "the employees, management and owners of The Woods over-served a young man they knew was suffering with the disease of alcoholism." It also claims negligence, saying they "ignored Immesberger's disease, they fueled it by over-serving him alcohol to the point of severe intoxication and then sending him out to his car to drive home. As a result of this negligence, Immesberger crashed his vehicle and died on December 10, 2018, after leaving The Woods."
The lawsuit contends that Herman "personally knew Immesberger, specifically recruited him to work at The Woods and was well aware of Immesberger's habitual abuse of alcohol," and that Woods himself "knew Immesberger personally and through information and believe (sic), Herman had discussed Immesberger and his drinking of alcohol with Tiger."
It continued: "Tiger knew, or reasonably should have known, that Immesberger was habitually addicted to the use of any or all alcoholic beverages, and/or was a habitual drunkard."
The lawsuit also alleges that Woods and Herman were drinking with Immesberger a few nights before the fatal crash and that the restaurant destroyed video evidence of Immesberger drinking at the bar for three hours prior to the fatal crash.
Woods addressed the suit while speaking at a PGA Championship press conference in Bethpage, New York on Tuesday.
"We're all very sad that Nick passed away," Woods said. "It was a terrible night, a terrible ending. We feel bad for him and his entire family. It's very sad."
The suit is seeking an unspecified amount of damages.

Want to become a better amateur astronomer? Learn your way around the constellations. They're the key to locating everything fainter and deeper to hunt with binoculars or a telescope.
For an easy-to-use constellation guide covering the whole evening sky, use the big monthly map in the center of each issue of Sky & Telescope, the essential magazine of astronomy. Or download our free Getting Started in Astronomy booklet (which only has bimonthly maps).
Once you get a telescope, to put it to good use you'll need a detailed, large-scale sky atlas (set of charts). The standards are the little Pocket Sky Atlas, which shows stars to magnitude 7.6; the larger and deeper Sky Atlas 2000.0 (stars to magnitude 8.5); and the even larger Uranometria 2000.0 (stars to magnitude 9.75). And read how to use sky charts effectively.
You'll also want a good deep-sky guidebook, such as Sue French's new Deep-Sky Wonders collection (which includes its own charts), Sky Atlas 2000.0 Companion by Strong and Sinnott, the bigger Night Sky Observer's Guide by Kepple and Sanner, or the classic if dated Burnham's Celestial Handbook.
Can a computerized telescope replace charts? I don't think so — not for beginners, anyway, and especially not on mounts that are less than top-quality mechanically. As Terence Dickinson and Alan Dyer say in their Backyard Astronomer's Guide, "A full appreciation of the universe cannot come without developing the skills to find things in the sky and understanding how the sky works. This knowledge comes only by spending time under the stars with star maps in hand."
This Week's Planet Roundup
Mercury is hidden deep in the glow of sunrise.
Venus (magnitude –4.0, in Aquarius) is the brilliant "Evening Star" shining in the southwest during and after dusk. It will continue to move a little higher each week all winter.
In a telescope Venus is a small gibbous disk 14 arcseconds in diameter; it's still on the far side of the Sun but rounding our way.
Mars (magnitude –0.1, at the Leo-Virgo border) rises in the east around 9 or 10 p.m., far beneath Regulus and the Sickle of Leo. Mars is brightening rapidly as it approaches Earth. It shines highest in the south around 3 or 4 a.m. In a telescope Mars has grown to 10 arcseconds wide, on its way to 13.9″ when closest to Earth in early March.
Jupiter (magnitude –2.5, at the Aries-Pisces border) shines highest in the south at dusk, moves lower toward the southwest as evening advances, and sets in the west around 1 a.m. In a telescope Jupiter has shrunk to 41 arcseconds wide.
Saturn (magnitude +0.6, in Virgo) rises in the east around 1 a.m. and is high in the south at dawn. Spica, just a bit fainter at magnitude +1.0, is 6° or 7° to Saturn's right or upper right. In a telescope, Saturn's rings are now presented to us a good 15° from edge on.
Uranus (magnitude 5.9, near the Circlet of Pisces) is still high in the southwest right after dark.
Neptune (magnitude 7.9, at the Aquarius-Capricornus border) is low in the west-southwest after dark.
All descriptions that relate to your horizon — including the words up, down, right, and left — are written for the world's mid-northern latitudes. Descriptions that also depend on longitude (mainly Moon positions) are for North America. Eastern Standard Time (EST) equals Universal Time (also known as UT, UTC, or GMT) minus 5 hours.

It's My Wedding Too by Sharon Naylor
Let me first advise any who want to read this book to pick up the eBook version instead of the paperback. For some reason, my paperback copy was delayed from Amazon and I ended up cancelling the order in favor of a digital version. No idea why…
But in any case, this one's definitely a fun read! Right away, Naylor's prose hits you with lots of humor and plenty of sarcasm… something I am always in support of. When this poor bride is battling not just her overbearing mother, but also her overprotective future mother-in-law, for control of her wedding, you won't be able to put this book down. Emilie and her beloved fiance Anthony do their best to stay diplomatic, but eventually, even these peace-keepers must take back the reins to have the wedding they wanted.
In the midst of all this wedding planning, there are also so poignant family stories being told, exposed, and resolved. From an estranged father to a second-choice marriage, the parents of the bride and groom have their fair share of heartbreak coloring their everyday lives. Emilie and Anthony have to find a way to navigate all these emotions (and all these egos) on their way down the aisle. I feel for them, I really do.
The Three R's
Rating: PG-13. There's some swears and some "love making" alluded to in here, but it's not really a sexy, sultry story at all. This is much more about making a marriage than doing the nasty.
Recommendation: A nice, light read that's bound to make you feel better about your own nightmare wedding story… or anything else really. You'll find characters you relate to without getting too bogged down by a sad, tragic storyline. Don't worry, the good guys win… sorta.
Re-read: Not sure that it's necessary. Swap this one with friends or pick it for a book club (like we did)… and that's about that.

I don't think the word 'happy' fully captures my current way of being. Being able to return home after two years and be welcomed by my friends and family was a moment I can not quite put into words. It felt like a dream. Like the many dreams I would have as I laid on the bottom bunk wishing I was home. Once again I have to say I am thankful. So many things in my life are uncertain and just plain complicated by this process but being loved and loving my friends and family makes it all okay. At Least for the moment.
Now as I sit in the halfway house back amongst the mice and roaches, lol. I could feel a piece of me becoming lonely and wishing this will hurry up and end. Nothing like wishing your time on earth away. Losing your freedom is truly a mind game and if you want to leave this space healthy in all areas of your life you have to force yourself to remain present. My visit was incredible I was reminded by my peeps that I love people. I love the conversations, the laughter, the joy and I love hearing their stories, the good ones as well as the not so good ones. I love my life which causes me to laugh a lot because of my current status but it is the truth.
I was also fortunate enough to spend some time with my son who did not skip a beat with his daily routine of playing call of duty. Life truly goes on that is a real good lesson for me. More importantly he is doing well and that has always been my number one concern.
Now I will prepare for Christmas and once again I will ask for a furlough to go home. This process of being in the middle of middle is very hard but I am grateful that I am able to re enter my life at any capacity considering how crazy this system tends to operate.
Seeing many of my foster boys who are all grown up with beards, families, careers and their own trials and tribulations was life changing. I know now that it does not matter what the judge, prosecutor or IRS agents believed, the fact is I love my kids and they know it.
The next phase of my journey is going to be very challenging and emotional. I fully feel like a blank slate and have so many ideas but no firm foundation. I mean I currently don't even have a home lol. But knowing that no matter what I have support and Aaron is happy, I will fearlessly overcome any barriers that come my way. As always I am glad I was born and raised to be who and where I am at any given moment. Life is good. Peace
The journey continues……………….feloniousphd 11/2015

With the aid of a noted baseball photographer, a Boston man paid tribute to his faith–and baseball by creating a card set featuring every Jewish Major Leaguer.
Martin Abramowitz is about to do an update set. His 2003 set of baseball cards featuring all 142 players of the Jewish faith who'd made the big leagues sold out of a print run numbering 15,000.
The project was a quest aided by his young son. Only 100 of the 142 players from 1871 to the start of the current milleneum had ever appeared on a card, but Abramowitz improvised by making his own, with the help of Chicago photographer George Brace and a historical society.
Brace is gone now, but Abramowitz continues his project–and his mission.

What is your go-to drink and/or snack while reading? -Kristin @Lukten av Trykksverte

Soda or sweet tea with popcorn or extra sharp cheddar cheese cubes and strawberries.
Love your food and drinks.ReplyDelete
Popcorn is a favorite. Love strawberries too.
This has been a fun question.
ENJOY your weekend.

The cheddar cheese and strawberries together? Interesting! Soda is my weakness. I've cut out sweet tea almost all together but I can't drip Diet Coke!ReplyDeleteReplies
Not "together" together, like some sort of cheese and fruit sandwich, but slices of strawberries next to some cheese. I like sharp cheddar and they kind of balance each other out.Delete
I'm actually trying to switch more to sweet tea than soda! I just have not been good about making it regularly.
Cheese and strawberries sounds an interesting combo!ReplyDelete
