What We Do
SAV Monitoring
During 2007-2008 the first aerial survey of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in North Carolina was coordinated and funded by the SAV Partnership, of which APNEP is a founding member. APNEP also funded and published an interpretative SAV map, which was later featured in the 2012 APNEP Ecosystem Assessment. With a baseline established, APNEP again supported SAV monitoring by funding and coordinating another aerial survey of the Albemarle-Pamlico sounds between 2012 and 2014. The second map is scheduled for release in 2018 and will allow for the detection of trends in SAV coverage for the first time.
Aerial surveys are an efficient means to monitor changes in SAV extent over large areas but in some areas visibility is diminished by relatively turbid waters. Furthermore, aerial surveys can only be conducted once every five years due to funding constraints.
To address challenges in tracking the "hidden" SAV and to detect significant trends more quickly (including changes in species composition), APNEP began coordinating a SAV sentinel network in 2014. The sentinel network combines boat-based sonar and video technology with in-water observations to track SAV at stations dispersed throughout the sounds. The boat-based protocols were tested on Albemarle Sound in 2014 and the first installment of sentinel stations occurred there in 2015.

I recently got this little selection box in the post and I was like Ooooooohhhh, mattes. Then, Oooohhhhh Reds.
See I am not a red girl. My bold lip is all about the hot pink. But that doesn't mean that I don't love to play with reds, and am always on the hunt for the right kind of shade (which I am still not sure about!).
So affordable natural beauty brands B. Beauty have a new range of matte red lipsticks inspired by 4 ladies;
Alexa, Suki, Dita and Isabella named after four famous ladies of course.
Ok so first thoughts…
Here are the colours – they look pretty similar really in the tube. And here is where it's great to be able to try out all four shades and see what the slight but significant difference is. Chances are you won't need all four because there will be one that will make you face pop!
Now I like a matte because I think it looks glam and it is less likely to rub off on my kids if they come for a smooch (I don't wear it if I am with them generally just for going out, but they like to kiss me all the time!). However I have dry lips so many mattes do not work on me, and once you balm underneath, it is not the same.
These have a slightly dry and powdery feel when swatching but I have never used a TRUE matte lipstick that was creamy too – I think the dryness is expected 99% of the time. It is no where near as dry and difficult to use as MAC Retro mattes, for example, which are unbearably dry on my lips. I do not think they are hydrating, but they don't destroy my lips, which is a bonus.
They are pigmented too. Nice matte finish – not so dry it makes your lips look like prunes. There's something soft about them.
(This is based on my poor eyesight by the way)
Alexa – Deep true blue red
Suki – Medium yellow based red
Dita – Medium blue based red
Isabella – Orange red
I usually like a fun light to medium orange red and stay away from red that are too deep or too blue.
Here are the 4 shades –
I said blue reds are not my thing but actually, Alexa is my favourite despite being the deepest and the bluest. It goes to show you need to try a red on. Because this is red it is not garish and makes my lips look almost rosey.
Dita is a brighter, lighter more orangey version of Alexa, quite a nice every day one to wear.
Suki is like the blue based version of Dita, again quite a nice every day red, it just depends what base you want to your lipstick.
Orange reds are usually my thing but I did not like Isabella on my skintone at all – it was TOO orange for me. However it could work well on someone fairer.

Hoping you've been enjoying the sunshine we've been blessed with today … I have been making good use with the washing line in constant use.
I am just loving the way you can use both the positive and the negative of the die cut word to create two cards from just one rotation of the BigShot.
Here I have pretty much CASED Stampin' Up!s card on page 30 of the Spring/Summer Catalogue, using not only the Thinlits, but the Crazy About You Stamp set ...
… and here I have used the card stock where I cut it from and backed it with some pretty Designer Series Paper and some ribbon, for a very basic Thank you card.
I had created a few quick Easter Cards for the family and used the Die cut Happy to create this Birthday Card …
Happy? … I sure am. I so nearly didn't buy this set and I'm so pleased that I did. The versatility of this set is amazing. I've a feeling it will be my 'go to' set for that last minute card … so be warned.
Do you have a go to set?

So here is the front. Don hates the color of the siding so much he made me promise that I would never ever want to paint the house this color...ha ha
Here is the back view. You can really see the upstairs porch that we added now.
..and here is the porch viewed from the inside of the house.
Thank you Lord! I am getting so excited again... even though the plumber did not show up today - putting me off until Monday and I had to reschedule the roofer until Tuesday... it does not matter... I AM STILL SO EXCITED!!
Oh - and I found out that most of our windows have arrived at BMC. We are now only waiting on the 3 speciality windows so they will all be delivered together.
Donna - to answer your question.. we have hired an consultant instead of a contractor. Since we already live on the farm and I go down to the build site several times a day, this was a good option for us and it saved us a lot of money. I kind of share the headaches with the consultant!!

Romanian president Klaus Iohannis has rejected Sevil Shhaideh, the left-wing candidate for prime minister. Shhaideh would have become the country's first female and Muslim prime minister.
"I have properly analyzed the arguments for and against and I have decided not to accept this proposal," Klaus Iohannis said on television this week, offering no other explanation behind his decision. "I call on the PSD (Social Democrats) coalition to make another proposal." Shhaideh is a 52-year-old politician of Turkish origin and part of Romania's Muslim community, which counts about 65,000 people. She had been proposed by the PSD after the party won 45 percent of the vote in a convincing election victory on December 11. The party had hoped to propose its leader, Liviu Dragnea, as its candidate for prime minister, but he had to withdraw his candidacy because he is serving a suspended two-year sentence for electoral fraud and Iohannis made it clear that he did not want anyone with a criminal record to be nominated. The fact that Shhaideh is a close personal friend to Dragnea and has limited political experience caused many in the opposition to argue that she would be a "puppet" if made prime minister.

The origin of Hinduism has no exact date because it is a synthesis of traditions with no single founder or central text. The fusion of the ideals that form Hinduism began around 2000 BCE. Some scholars relate its origin to the beginnings of organized religion in India, approximately 5500 BCE.
Hinduism is known as the oldest religion in the world, and it is the world's third-largest belief system after Christianity and Islam. Due to Hinduism's inclusion of several deities, texts and traditions, many of its followers consider it to be a combination of more than one religion. Some Hindu teachings state that all of its deities are different expressions of a single god.

Last night I posted that over 650 million downloads have occurred on the Playstation Store. Today, a related and significant milestone was achieved on Xbox Live: 2 million users used Microsoft's Facebook integration in the first week since its release. That represents 10% of the 20 million active Xbox Live users.
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I believe this represents the collision of console gaming and social gaming (what we see on Facebook), where games: - Become inherently social both during and between game play (Facebook Connect is an example) - Feature in-game micro-payments (a greater percentage of those 650m downloads will shift to small, paid orders) - Live across platform (and I do not mean Xbox vs. PS3 vs. Wii: game play to some degree will exist between the game itself, site's like Facebook and the community – via the online stores and Facebook Connect enabled micro-sites)

Well apparently some dreams do come true, some damn dirty well spoken western dreams that is! It appears one of the greatest westerns of all time may be coming back. HBO's cult hit fowl mouthed, dirty cowboys and prostitutes filled Western Series Deadwood may be returning!
According to TV Line the programming president over at HBO recently gave series creator David Milch the green light to resurrect the series in a made for TV HBO film.
Lombardo also states that Milch feels he "has something left unsaid" with Deadwood and even though he is currently working on another project, "the understanding is that when he is done with that he will turn his attention to writing the script" for the movie.
While all this sounds great, the fact still remains that Deadwood is a show that only lived for three seasons way back when on HBO. Also its been almost a decade since the show was cancelled back in 2006. Even if the movie can get moving ahead with a script, there's a slim chance in hell that, the full cast and crew could return. So hopefully if this happens, its done right and not half ass "as to insult the fans". We will just have to keep our fingers crossed.

Yesterday I had my first encounter with mal de mer. I went sailing (!) with my aunt and uncle and that will deservedly be its own post cause omg so pretty and fun.
However. Though the boat was cozy and any slight seasickness I felt when actually on the water was mitigated with crystallized ginger and Diet Coke, fast forward to later in the evening; dinnertime. The setting: Steve's apartment, typically a happy place for me.
I sat down to a wonderful dinner made with Steve of stuffed poblano peppers, his thick and hearty homemade butternut soup, and pico de gallo…
[it featured the best stuffed pepper filling in the world, of which Steve requested an encore because it was so good last time. Chayote squash, mushrooms, rice, and QUESO!]
The poblanos, like all the effing poblanos I have consumed this year in what I can only assume is some sort of fiery-poblano epidemic, was on first bite just a little elevated on the spice front; a notch up from what is supposed to be a mildly-flavored pepper. A few more bites, however, and it HURT. My lips HURT, my stomach HURT; I had to stop.
And then, suddenly, and I don't know if it was the spice attack, a delayed reaction from the rocking waves earlier in the afternoon, an adverse response to the speed walk/jog I'd taken after returning from the boat, a sudden onset food poisoning situation…
I was a WRECCCCCCCCCCCK.
Totally totally DIZZY. Lightheaded, nauseous, dazed, headachey mess. Just… don't want to talk, don't want to eat, don't want to do anything except LIE DOWN and nurse a glass of ginger ale.
Totally, totally useless wreck.
And this is where that great boyfriend of mine comes in: he proceeds to tuck me in, run (literally) to CVS to buy me TWO LITERS of ginger ale:
And proceeds to take excellent care of me, treat me so nicely, abandon his plans for the evening (well, postponed- pumpkin carving is HAPPENING). And then it ended up being a wonderful cozy idle night sort of just… appreciating each other (<< cheeseball). I'm getting sappy cause on November 6th it'll be a year together ofish, so that is AWESOME :D
Just… I am not that good at letting people take care of me. And letting him take care of me was pretty great. Thanks, Stove! (<< if any of you saw Bridesmaids, that is now my sister's exclusive name for my boyfriend. I think it's great :D)
After departing from sleep in a rather reluctant, slow, and gradual way that didn't really happen until 10:30, I was delighted to be feeling good enough to take a walk from Steve's to a major happy place for me lately: Cafe Sazon!
I've posted about that heavenly place before, but though I've been drinking this stuff like it's my job, I haven't had a camera handy til today.
Ladies. And gentlemen.
Api morado.
According to literally seconds of research, the Internet informs me that api morado is a corn-based beverage, common in Bolivia and other places near the heights of the Andes where a warm and comforting morning pre-work drink is advantageous. It's made of purple corn and cooked with sugar, cinnamon and…? Some kind of fruit that makes it taste like apple cider. Steve's friend Jeff compared it to "drinking applesauce", which is not that far off. But warm and delicious :D
I. love. it.
Also had some cafe, cause I was feeling better but by no means awake.
I actually had sort of planned on letting the thick and hearty api morado tide me over til I got home and cooked myself something, but Steve was doing no such thing.
Pastries. Boom.
First was a phyllo-reminiscent stacked concoction with a sort of unbelievably rich buttercream filling.
The other, which we've been lucky enough to have before, was a dazzlingly great cheese empanada. (They'd just pulled it out of the oven). I don't know what they do to make that unbelievably delicious crust, but it makes me glad to be alive.
Obviously, I had a few bites :D Oh and of his second one too.
And then they put up on the specials sign "Sopa de mani" (peanut soup) and I was just SO EXCITED. I had heard about sopa de mani from all the Hispanic kids in our afterschool program last year and cmon, fellow nut lovers; how can you not be excited?
So we ordered one to split.
Which is good, since they sent us a BUCKET!
Massive, garnished with fresh parsley and FRENCH FRIES!
Okay, let's start with the fact that this soup had everything. Huge slab of beef (which Steve ate and said tasted like prime rib), penne pasta and carrots…
… MASSIVE SLABS of potato.
But the taste was just unbelievable. Un. believable. To describe the flavor of the broth in terms of ingredients would be a challenge for me (though I'm surely going to be researching how to make this for myself), but describing it in terms of flavor? COMFORT. PURE, RICH, CARBY, FATTY, COMFORT.
I felt so unbelievably nourished by this soup. It is so wholesome and hearty and… nourishing. You just feel well for having eaten it.
And though it was in no danger of being bland, dang it was good with the hot sauce.
Obviously, we hated it.
Also fun about Cafe Sazon- it was all set for Halloween and Dia de los muertos. There were special order pastries for dia de los muertos- could we call that a corpse cookie?
And the whole cafe was amusingly/alarmingly decorated.
Another happy place- The National Arboretum.
It's the craziest thing- you drive through Northeast DC (whose drivers I want to give credit: all DC drivers are aggressive lunatics but the drivers in Northeast you literally think are going to kill you, and then continue driving. Insanely.), and then you pass by a gate (well, you get lost a few times and then pass by a gate), and step inside into this unbelievably gorgeously put together garden.
Fun fact: those columns were initially part of the Capitol. When they expanded the Capitol (apparently they expanded the Capitol…?) they relocated these guys to the middle of a hill, basically, which I thought made for the coolest landscape.
There's a series of gardens, actually.
My nose immediately drew us to the herb and vegetable garden, which featured these adorable mini peppers.
Steve wanted to check out the bonsais, some of which were over a century old.
And we hit up the adorable children's garden, where people were harvesting veggies. Steve and I both obviously had to hug a tree when it was so encouraged.
A delightful interlude. Locals, check it out!
Being in Northeast DC, we then decided to go to H Street. H Street has become painfully cool lately. I totally get why! It's got all these cool new restaurants/venues, but it still retains a neighborhood feel (not being particularly Metro accessible helps). It's definitely got a more diverse feel than many of the other hipster areas of DC.
We saw a deck at the Liberty Tree, so obviously we had to sit on it. Great, chill vibe.
And it was five o'clock… in Jamaica. So we got some drinks!
Steve got a pumpkin ale, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
And I got an end of summer cocktail special of the grapetini, which featured their own infused citrus and ginger vodka, pressed concord grapes, prosecco, and lemon juice.
I was SO EXCITED about this drink… like, can you read that description again? Ginger? Concord grapes? Prosecco? But I'd call it good, not great.
Steve also ordered a salad (I'm so suspicious when the man eater does things like this and suspect they are for my benefit). It featured spinach, pecans, grilled butternut squash (!) and fig vinaigrette (!!!). Again, though, sounded dazzling on paper and was just for some reason less exciting in reality.
Still, it's hard to go wrong hanging out outside in a cool neighborhood. Ingesting vodka… which for me, always leads to ridiculously clingy behavior. Oh, alcohol.
Then we went home and Steve made me awesome fajitas. They featured rice 'n beans, a delicious variety of vegetables and aji amarillo, absurdly delicious hot pepper sauce left behind by Steve's old Peruvian roommate, David. I have to go to Peru and just eat aji amarillo tasting things all day.
Wanting to be productive and contribute to the meal, I used some kale I'd brought over earlier in the week and taught Steve about roasting beets (key) and then combining them with goat cheese (SUPER key!)
He decided Malbec was important (which picture is better? Blurred label but focused wine or plain ol' bottle?)
Either way, great glass o' wine. Man, I just never go wrong with Malbec.
And we sat down to a scrumptious dinner. Steve makes the BEST fajitas.
I declined to make his decision to combine EVERYTHING on one tortilla, however. It seemed… gross.
He didn't seem too keen to repeat it either :D
So today I feel perhaps a little light headed, perhaps a little out of whack… but I mostly feel happy. It's good to let people take care of us, and it's mighty good to have a happy place. Or person!

Here are a collection of Wi-Fi related articles that I have found useful, interesting, or enlightening. As always, for a complete list of articles check out my shared article feed from Google Reader.
My Stuff
Cheers (and happy reading)!
My Stuff
- I'm excited about the first-ever Wireless Tech Field Day!
- I broke down Wireless Segmentation Options and how Cisco equipment performs Dynamic VLAN Assignment.
- I shared the State of Voice over Wi-Fi for enterprises, cellular providers, and consumers. There will be a lot of development in this space in 2011 (see my previous 802.11u post, and the Nokia announcement).
- I provided references for Well-Known Cisco WLAN Intervals and Cisco Unified Wireless Network Ports. Handy for network admins and CCIE Wireless candidates alike!
- Both Atheros and Marvell announced Wi-Fi chipsets aimed at providing 2-stream 802.11n MIMO capability for mobile platforms such as smartphnes and tablets.
- Nokia announced Smart WLAN software for seamless roaming between cellular and Wi-Fi networks. I'll be interested to see what overlap this has with 802.11.u, schedule to be ratified very soon (my guess is this is proprietary software by Nokia).
And Ericsson has similar plans...
- In this Wireless Week article Wi-Fi: The Other Small Cell, BelAir described why Wi-Fi in the mobile carriers' network is about an alternate channel for their own content as much as data offload, and that LTE capacity will only be adequate in the short-term term. The article also touches on seamless roaming between cellular and Wi-Fi, a growing hot-topic!
- Why Wi-Fi beats Femtocells, hands down!
- The Wi-Fi Alliance urged consumers to take advantage of WPA2 security in this CNET Podcast.
- A billion Wi-Fi devices are expected by 2015, with Gigabit speeds from 802.11ac!
- GigaOm details Qualcomm's Flashlinq, a peer to peer distributed communication technology mainly for carriers, and mis-reports on Wi-Fi Direct capability at the same time (it can share Internet / Infrastructure connections).
- JCPenney is integrating iPads in-store for increased customer influence.
- Nordstrom sees their business evolving from customer-focused to customer-driven by excelling at e-commerce, multi-channel, and improved customer experience in-store through Wi-Fi.
- InformationWeek talked about how Location Based Services are driving customer store visits and influencing purchase decisions. LBS will evolve from GPS style navigation and check-ins to in-store product search and promotions over RFID and Wi-Fi. Be prepared.
- While we're on LBS, check out NearBuy's Micro-Location Solution.
Cheers (and happy reading)!

I love my lightning fast SSD drive but it keeps getting full of.. I don't know, all sorts of junk. Sometimes I spend hours finding and removing old files just to clear enough space to get the computer working normally again.
But the other day I found Disk Inventory X that helps visualize files and folders that are eating hdd space. It's free and open-source application for OS X, inspired by WinDirStat and KDirStat (that basically do the same thing for Windows and Linux).
So if you keep running low on disk space, try one of those and you'll probably find a bunch of enormous and useless files you didn't know about.
We're preparing a Kickstarter campaign to finance the last stretch of production for The Journey Down and we need some help to get the word out on launch day (1 October). So if you want to donate a tweet or share, please join our Thunderclap here: https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/31696-the-journey-down-kickstarter

Data Model
The following is a discussion about the data model used by schema.org.
The data model used is very generic and derived from RDF Schema (which in turn was derived from CycL, which in turn ...).
- We have a set of types, arranged in a multiple inheritance hierarchy where each type may be a sub class of multiple types.
- We have a set of properties:
- each property may have one or more types as its domains. The property may be used for instances of any of these types.
- each property may have one or more types as its ranges. The value(s) of the property should be instances of at least one of these types.
The decision to allow multiple domains and ranges was purely pragmatic. While the computational properties of systems with a single domain and range are easier to understand, in practice, this forces the creation of a lot of artifical types, which are there purely to act as the domain/range of some properties.
Like many other systems, the schema presented here can be extended (with a few types like Type and Property and a few properties like domainIncludes and rangeIncludes) to allow for reflection, i.e., for the schema to be represented in terms of itself.
The canonical machine representation of schema.org is in RDFa:
Obsolete snapshots of Microdata and OWL experimental data dumps are also available. See also TopBraid's version.
The type hierarchy presented on this site is not intended to be a 'global ontology' of the world. It only covers the types of entities for which we (Microsoft, Yahoo!, Google and Yandex), think we can provide some special treatment for, through our search engines, in the near future.
While we would like all the markup we get to follow the schema, in practice, we expect a lot of data that does not. We expect schema.org properties to be used with new types. We also expect that often, where we expect a property value of type Person, Place, Organization or some other subClassOf Thing, we will get a text string. In the spirit of "some data is better than none", we will accept this markup and do the best we can.
Mapping to RDFa LiteOur use of Microdata maps easily into RDFa Lite. In fact, all of Schema.org can be used with the RDFa Lite syntax. The RDFa Lite version of the markup looks almost isomorphic to the Microdata version. The following sample demonstrates the use of RDFa Lite to mark up a Product type example:

  Dell UltraSharp 30" LCD Monitor
 87 out of 100 based on 24 user ratings

 $1250 to $1495 from 8 sellers
 Sellers:
  Save A Lot Monitors - $1250

Simple Solutions
How to Protect Electronic Devices in the Workshop
By: Joe Truini
Electronic devices – such as smartphones, tablet computers, and calculators – are great tools to have in the workshop, but they need to be protected from glue and dust. The easiest way to do that is to seal the device up in a plastic storage bag. This keeps the dust out while still allowing you to use the touch screen or keys through the plastic.
To make them even easier to use, you can attach binder clips to the bag, then hang it near your workbench. Watch this video to find out more.

Video Transcript
Joe Truini: More and more homeowners are using the Internet to search for plans and instructions on home improvement projects. What that means is electronics are coming into the workshop, where they're going to be exposed to dust and dirt. Now, most of these have a touch screen. And so if you have glue or dirt on your hands of course, you're getting it on the electronics. And that's not good.
So one solution is to get a large Ziploc bag, such as this. This is a one-gallon size. And you slip the iPad right in, and you zip it tight. You'll keep out all dust and dirt. But the really cool thing is, even though it's in the plastic bag, you can still manipulate it. So you can search. In this case we're looking at these "how to" photographs at todayshomeowner.com. You're very welcome, Danny.
Now, if you have a smartphone the same idea will work, you just need a smaller bag. Zip it tight and here's another additional tip, you put on a couple of binder clips. Clip them right onto the top of the bag. What that allows you to do is to hang the phone right over your workspace. And again, you can still manipulate it right through the plastic bag.

Good question, Amy Jo, but I don't think there's any concern about heat buildup, only because the device isn't usually on for very long. I wouldn't recommend watching a feature-length movie with the device in the bag, but 5 to 10 minutes shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for writing and good luck!–Joe T.

Sleep apnea, which is commonly associated with individuals who snore, is a process by which your regular breathing habits are interrupted while asleep. In some instances, the disruption could be caused by the airway becoming obstructed or blocked, which is called obstructive sleep apnea. In other cases, your breathing is disrupted due to a failure from brain signals to accurately send their messages to the muscles required for breathing. Both instances are dangerous and should be treated when possible.
Although sleep apnea can affect everyone at any age, it is most common in men over 40 years of age. Additional risks for developing sleep apnea include: being overweight, having large tonsils, genetics, deviated septum, allergies, and sinus problems. If you have or are at risk of developing sleep apnea, it is important to seek treatment immediately.
The dangers of sleep apnea vary greatly. Sleep apnea can cause diabetes, ADHD, depression, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, and even death. If you or someone you know has sleep apnea, seek out treatment options.
Our All Family Dental dentists can assist those with sleep apnea disorder. If you would like to learn more about sleep apnea, or to schedule an appointment, contact Drs. Timm and Anderson at our office in Oakdale, Minnesota, by calling us at 651.222.9715. Treatment for sleep apnea is available. Contact us today!

They have a lot of exciting things happening in their lives. Not only are they planning their wedding for this fall, they bought an adorable Condo in La Grange (west of Chicago) and closed on their new place literally the week of their Engagement Session. It was only fitting that we shoot part of their session in what will be their first home together. They have a natural ease about life and their love for one another is rock solid. The rain didn't deter us from getting some great photos of them in their new place and new home. You'll see more of them this fall after we capture what will surely be a lovely September Wedding!

Teaching is hard. It's tough to be evaluated based off of your students achievements. You aren't raising these students. You're not in their family. You are there to teach information as best you can. Here's an argument why linking student achievement to teachers jobs can be problematic:
What if your corporate job handed you a team of people you had no say in choosing? You are charged with teaching this team the fundamentals of XYZ in your industry. You have about six hours a day of instruction and you are the sole person teaching. You have few resources for materials. Your group is comprised of people who live with persistent hunger, people who have limited proficiency in English, people who have been sleeping in a shelter or in their car, people who are in pain but have no access to medical attention, people who have no money for books and basic materials, people who require special services, people who are singled out for being different, people who have attention deficit disorders, people who have come from illiterate families, people who cannot see but cannot afford eye glasses, people who come from an abusive relationship, people who want the answers but don't want to work. This is what a teacher is dealt. And sure, some of these problems are non-issues at private schools. But let me tell you, private school classrooms have their own challenges. That's where you can have the entitled brats telling their teachers that daddy, who's on the school's board, can have the teacher fired. That's where the students drive nicer cars than teachers can afford, and the socioeconomic totem pole is front and center of all school dynamics.
Imagine being productive in an environment where you have little control and cannot impact the very basic needs that drive success under your watch. Now imagine you have to fight for every ounce of respect society doles out and every cent on your paycheck. Imagine you are judged solely on what your group can accomplish, with no regard to how hard you tried and how dedicated you were. Imagine the battle teachers face just to be valued, socially, professionally, and financially.
Also, people say that teachers have an easy day. Just 8:30-3:30. That's not that long and they get a lunch and a prep period. Though I am a believer that the school day should be longer, here's why teachers are not so happy about the idea.
I'll use the example of the elementary school at which I worked: Students were at school from 8:45 am to 3:00 pm every day (Wednesdays until 2:00). Teachers are required to be in their classrooms or working at school at 8:00 am and are allowed, by union contract, to leave after 3:30 pm every day of the work week. During the school day, teachers are scheduled for 22 minutes for lunch, and have a 50 minute planning period.
Now, just imagine the amount of papers to grade, detailed lessons to plan, papers to copy, bulletin boards to decorate, learning centers to prepare, documents to complete, books to read, spreadsheets to enter, department and school-wide meetings in which to participate, statistical information to compile, parent-teacher meetings to hold, and in-service classes to attend.
These cannot physically be done in that one 50-minute per day planning period, and 30-minute** span before and after school that's provided for the teachers. (**I'm being generous with the 30-minute spans before and after children are in the classroom, because in my case, our principal required us to keep our classrooms open and available for students to enter, thus making teachers responsible for the students.)
I've not ever met one teacher, good, bad, or ugly, who can complete all of their required work in that 50-minute planning period and 30-minute span before and after school.
Teachers want to do the best job for our children. But people need to really understand what is going on in this country's schools. They are on the front lines and it seems that people don't really understand what is involved in actually teaching our nation's children. We can do it, but when you want to fix a problem, it's good to know what the actual problem is...

First off – one of these is not like all the rest. I apologize to all the blog readers that will immediately recognize that the writer has changed. I'm sorry for you.
But come with me. As the newbie on the team, I'll share with you a few impressions and pictures of my 1st day on the job. I stumbled upon the mission of Shelter Canada in a hockey dressing room (the smell is actually quite similar there and here, but that is beside the point). I was fascinated by the idea of building houses in rural El Salvador. I had lots of questions. How do they integrate the project within the local communities? What role does the community play? What role does the local church play? How do the recipient families contribute to the house being built for them?
We arrived last night – this morning we would walk the recipient community and meet the families for whom we would help erect an new metal house.
Let's go …
I was so thoroughly impressed that the local leadership was so integral in the planning, selection and organizing of the Shelter Canada housing project. We saw the building sites – that in many cases took back breaking personal work and sacrifice to prepare for the new building. They cleared rocks, moved hillsides of dirt, sold their animals to afford fill-in dirt, uprooted huge trees – by hand!
I was simply awestruck, humbled & honored by today's walk-about.
Tomorrow's move? … What will be experience as we start to build?

Warm your hearts, join in song, stay for a cuppa tea. We think of Kirtan as singing yoga. It's a way to connect with community and the Divine through the Universal, ancient and powerful sounds of the Sanskrit language. Kirtan can be profoundly healing, uplifting, and just plain fun! In today's times, we don't often find opportunity to sing in community and this provides a really approachable yet deep way to join our voices in a really positive way. We'll gather around 5:30pm, sing/chant together for about 1-1.5hrs (Annie Watson will be leading Kirtan with her harmonium) and break to enjoy hot tea together at 7pm ish.
Please bring: -friends and family (kids so very welcome!) -instruments if you have them -cozy blankets, pillows if you'd like!
Plus bring a potluck dish to share if you'd like to stay for a meal!

As a newborn infant, how did you know to do the things that you were never taught? At first that question might strike you as nonsense. Perhaps you're thinking, "Huh? Babies don't know anything they didn't actively learn. We're all born with a brain that's a blank slate, and after we're born, we begin to learn through experiences, through environment, and through lessons taught by others."
However, the notion that humans (or animals or insects) are born with a brain that is devoid of knowledge, simply waiting for a chance to sponge it up, is incorrect. To draw a rough analogy, a computer can be assembled with every physical component in place down to the last screw, but it can accomplish nothing until information is installed onto its motherboard.
Typically, any computer you buy comes with a basic operating program preinstalled, enabling it to function on an elementary level even though most of its memory is free for additional programs and data.
In a sense, this pre-installation of programming is what the Creator does for human babies (and other creatures). Even before a baby's birth, God installs into the brain and nervous system a vital "operating system" that helps the newborn to survive.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Adult entertainment icon Ron Jeremy has been released from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center nearly three weeks after he suffered a heart aneurysm.
Jeremy, 59, revealed to the New York Daily News that he was "extremely close" to death after doctors discovered the aneurysm near his heart. Doctors immediately performed emergency surgery.
He reportedly checked out of the hospital last week and is now convalescing at a hotel in Hollywood.
"I came very close to death," he told the Daily News. "I guess I have a very, very strong will to live."
Jeremy said he lost 45 pounds in weight during the ordeal and has now vowed to change his diet.
"Eating healthy food is depressing, but it's keeping me alive," he said. "My dad is 94 and still going strong. He got mad at me for this. He jokes that he and my mom gave me the perfect body, and I screwed it up."

The Kingdom of Sieunes is rife with taverns, dirty streets, and clay pipe smoking citizens all toiling to feed their families and keep themselves in something little better than rags. With a foiled revolution just ten years prior still burning in the hearts of many, the royals enlist the aid of assassins to keep things in order. The townsfolk entertain themselves by dreaming of better times to come and regaling in stories of the undead said to walk the graveyards at night. . . and of Cameo the killer with corpse-like eyes. . .
Scarred and jaded Cameo is one of the most effective assassins in the employ of the Association, moving from one mission to the next as long as the alcohol keeps flowing. Her acceptance of the murder-for-hire lifestyle is thrown into doubt when she meets a local highwayman with a penchant for fine clothes and women, and then she begins to think about breaking with the company but no one ever breaks with the Association under good terms.
My Thoughts:
I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed in this read because it came so highly recommended. Not that is wasn't a perfectly decent story, but it didn't come remotely close to meeting my built up expectations. Cameo, is an assassin hired by the association and Wick to kill whomever they feel needs to be taken out. But Cameo's true Master is a Vampire named Hafeff, of whose bidding she must do, no questions asked. But when Cameo is sent to kill Black Opal and his sidekick Bellamy, she kills her fellow assassin instead and soon becomes a target of the association. She befriends the two thieving highwaymen and decides to leave the area.
To me this book was about a bunch of unlikely friends and misfits ambling around the country with no real purpose or goals. Besides the two small tasks that needed to be done, there was absolutely nothing driving these characters and this story really didn't have any direction. I wasn't invested in the characters nor did I care what happened to them. There are a myriad of characters introduced that we never really get to know beyond the surface. Very one-dimensional and lacking depth. Even Cameo. We find that she was made a Zombie by a Vampire after her and her sister were attacked long ago. But we don't know why, or exactly how long she's been a zombie. We don't know much about Hefeff or where he comes from. The details are just non-existent in this book.
The only character that was of some interest to me was the theiving Black Opal. But only because he was a bit sarcastic and an unusual theif who was very meticulous about his appearance. The fact that he would get all dressed up to find himself in a fight or sleeping in a graveyard was chuckle-worthy. But the appeal stops there. He's not described favorably, nor the other characters, but finds himself interested in Cameo, whose also not the picture of desire. So for me the whole stiff budding romance between the two was cringe-worthy…very ick.
Honestly, I really don't understand why people are raving about this book. Okay story, but truly nothing earth shattering and really a bit boring. I kept waiting for something to happen and then thinking maybe it was all leading up to a phenomenal ending, only to be let down again. The end was very anti-climatic. So I'm hoping the second book is better. If not, I don't know if I can hang in there for the third book to come.

Great honest review! I have never heard of this series but I really hate when a book comes highly recommended and I find it disappointing. It is even worse than if I had found the book on my own.
Frank and straightforward opinion. I haven't heard of the book, but it's interesting how a book can be loved and liked by so many and then when you read it, it's like you missed the punchline or something. It happens. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate your candidness.
See, I loved this book! But what I appreciated was the uniqueness of the feel to the story and the characters themselves. I didn't know anything about if when starting however, and since I appreciated the feel to it mostly, I definitely think that could have been ruined if you're expecting something earth-shattering to happen. It's a book to just glide through and to feel, IMO.
It was like this for me with The Hunger Games actually. Everyone was hyped and I'd never seen a rating under 4 stars at that time. When reading it, I was extremely bored and didn't get what the hype was about and I didn't even start to like it until after 50%. I mean, the end was good! But I was extremely disappointed that it didn't have the wow-affect on me that it seemed to have on everyone else. Even Fever disappointed me with the first two books, but at least that one got better. I still don't care for THG, sadly.
If you do wish to continue, I hope you'll like the next one more! I still have it to read myself. 🙂
If you can make any sense of that! LOL.
I'm definitely with bex on this one 🙂 I really loved Cameo, and am looking forward to the next book. I think it's totally different if you're reading all the hype and then read it though. The book is very subtle in it's beauty I think. I loved the characters and the romance. I thought the romance was very real, they are drawn to each other because they can sense the brokeness in each other. I too loved Opal's character for his humor and impeccable dressing habits, even wearing makeup. Cameo is beautiful in a different way.. she's struggling, living a life she never intended, and yet finding a way to trudge on. I think it's great that we don't know all about her past and exactly how things worked out for her in her present situation, I think it's good to leave some mysteries to be revealed in the future books in the series.
I try not to read reviews for books I know I'm going to read because I get worried the hype will effect how much I enjoy a book – set me up for disappointment. Sometimes that's hard to do though when all the reviews and hype is what MAKES you grab a book and read it!
I hope you give the next book a try and hopefully you'll like it more, but if not, not all books are a good fit for everyone. It's great that there are so many books for so many different personalities and that we can all find stuff we like! 🙂
April @ My Shelf Cnfessions
Really? It came highly recommended? I haven't even heard of it before. But I have to agree, it does sound a bit boring.
But then again, the comments above for those that really liked it also make the book sound intriguing. Guess I'll have to see for myself.
Interesting reviews and comments. Thanks!

A Circleville resident who spit out three bags of methamphetamine during a traffic stop appeared for a final hearing Monday in the Fayette County Court of Common Pleas.
Twenty-seven-year-old Brittany N. Saunders plead guilty to charges of tampering with evidence and aggravated possession of drugs.
Saunders was indicted June 3 after a traffic stop at the Mobile gas station on Columbus Avenue. A Washington C.H. police officer reported that Saunders gave consent to search her and the car and during a pat-down, she grabbed something out of her waistband and put it in her hand.
The officer asked her what was in her hand and Saunders pulled away from him and said, "No don't do this," and attempted to run. The officer reported that when he grabbed Saunders, she put something in her mouth, and he put an arm around her neck and "went to the ground" to prevent her from swallowing what she had put in her mouth.
Saunders spit out three baggies of methamphetamine, reports said.
In custody, Saunders reported to police that the meth was in the coat that she was wearing and the coat did not belong to her, but would not say who placed meth in the coat.
The amount of methamphetamine was allegedly less than five grams.
Saunders is scheduled to appear for sentencing Nov. 7.

Spring is here and summer is on its way! Now is the best time to get outside and explore Southern California. We have state parks and national parks within a short drive, as well as plenty of smaller county parks and green spaces even closer to home. Here is a list of just a few places you can explore this summer.
Joshua Tree National Park is probably one of California's best known parks. Sunsets and stars at night are outstanding. During the day, there are many hikes and climbing spots to visit. Make sure you bring lots and lots of water for the desert heat!
Idyllwild, CA has lots of hiking trails including trails up to Mount San Jacinto and Tahquitz Peak. It is an easy place to find campgrounds or even rent a cabin for a weekend. The town is a fun place to explore with many small shops and restaurants. The views of Lily Rock are impossible to ignore. Bonus: it's pretty close to Pathfinder if you want to find a hike in Garner Valley!
Crystal Cove State Park located on the coast in Orange County offers some nice beaches, hiking trails, and rocks to climb around on if you aren't so interested in deserts or mountains. There are tide pools to check out some sea creatures and there's also space for camping if you want to spend a night by the beach!
Take a hike up to the Hollywood Sign! It's a classic for visitors to Southern California, so take your time to experience what so many people come to this place to see!
Julian, CA and Oak Glen, CA are great for apple picking at the end of summer when all of the apples start to ripen! Both places have camping and hiking nearby to burn off the cider and apple pie you're bound to taste.
So your kids have come home after an amazing time at Pathfinder Ranch, in Mountain Center. You hear your kid say "We did team challenge" and you think, "What is that?"
Team Challenge has been going on for years at Pathfinder Ranch, but did you know it all started with a non-profit organization called Project Adventure aka PA in Massachusetts? The mission for PA is to provide leadership in the expansion of adventure-based experiential programming.
Here at Pathfinder, your students have the opportunity to challenge themselves to "think differently" and discover their leadership potential.
Every team challenge will start with a pre-brief, which is a way of getting the kids mentally ready to work as a team. Our instructors often use metaphor cards to see how the students perceive the meaning of teamwork and talk about how they're going to support each of their team members.
Some groups will also talk about the Steps to Problem Solving:
These steps are on cards which allow the students to place them in a meaningful order agreed upon by the group; which creates the team's full value contract. These steps also allow all students to stop, think, and evaluate their success.
Championship Find (Large group, played with the multi-image side) – This is a fun, light- hearted, competitive (and noisy) activity. Using an Ubuntu deck, from High 5 Adventure Learning Center, Vermont USA, give each person a card and ask everyone to find a partner. On your signal, have the partners turn over their cards and race to find the matching image. The person who finds the match first wins and takes the opponent's card. The person who lost joins the winner's "team" as an enthusiastic fan and cheerleader. Winners continue to play by finding another undefeated participant to play against, while they're growing fan bases cheers them on. Play until one person has all the cards and all the fans
Turnstyle – (Large group, played with a retired climbing rope) This activity takes a long rope or a jump rope. Two facilitators stand in front of each other and turn the rope, much like jump rope. The group's objective is to get the whole group from one side of the rope to the other, without touching the rope. The group may not go behind the facilitators and there must be one person jumping at all times.
Helium Stick- (medium group, plated with a hula hoop) Take the hula hoop and hold it horizontally about chest height and ask the kids to hold the hoop onto of their index fingers and lower it to the ground as a team. May seem easy, but its challenging if everyone doesn't come together and work as a team.
Key Punch- (Large group, played with 28 large cards with numbers) The facilitator has the numbers 1-28 written on cards and throws them in the air while the students are in a line shoulder to shoulder. From there, the kids run to retrieve the cards and put them in numerical order from 1-28 with 28 being on top. The timer starts when the facilitator says, "GO" and it stops when everyone is behind the rope line or a line you choose and the cards are in the facilitator's hand. Typically 3 rounds are done and the students are trying to improve their time.
Throughout all activities, the students are allowed to call a time out and communicate with their team members and create a plan, see how the plan works and reevaluate their progress.At the end of each activity, the students get the opportunity to debrief their experience and how there going to take what they learned back to their communities at home.
One debrief that Fez does is called: What…So What…Now What
There is often resistance and a hesitancy to speak up during a debrief. It may be easiest to get people talking first about:
What: 1. What happened? 2. Who did what? 3. Who was last, who was first, who suggested ideas, who were the leaders, whose ideas was used? 4. When did the group seem stuck, what happened that go the group moving again? 5. Were there times when there was a general group feeling of: frustration, euphoria, etc.? 6. As a group: what were you especially good at, where could you improve?
So What: 1. How do you feel about your own, or the groups, performance? 2. What significant issues did you notice (Or you can ask about specific issues).
Now What: 1. In the next initiative what do you want to do differently based on what you've learned? 2. In your school (or where ever), how can you apply these lessons and make them a reality?
About your blogger: Fez has been working at Pathfinder for the past couple of months and comes from Connecticut. Fez also comes from a background of 10+ years of facilitating team-building programs to schools and corporate groups on the east coast and Colorado. In June, Fez will be getting his ACCT Level 2 Practitioner Certification through High 5 Adventure Learning Center in Vermont.
Earth Day at The Living Desert – This event will offer fun and exciting activities for the entire family. Bring a recyclable item and trade it for a native plant grown at The Living Desert. For more information contact 760-346-5694.
Eco-Station Children's Earth Day - Encourage children to become "green" at this all-day children's festival. There will be live entertainment, food, games, vendors, and educational activities for children.
Despite gusts of up to 30mph, the Palm Springs Pathfinders trekked up the mountain to enjoy a day full of recreation and great food. The Pathfinder Picnic is held annually to honor and thank the Palm Springs Pathfinders, a women's group that helped establish and continues to support Pathfinder Ranch. The Pathfinders and their families had the opportunity to participate in archery, canoeing, climbing and horseback rides. We are pleased that they were able to come to the ranch to connect with our staff and experience some of the activities that we offer to our students. The dining hall provided delicious BBQ on tables decorated with re-purposed materials and compostable table cloths to enforce our environmentally friendly mission. The caramel apples were quite the hit! We are excited to share how much Pathfinder Ranch has grown and look forward to seeing our friends next year!'

OPENING: FEBRUARY 4, 2017 - FUTURE NOW / FUTURA AHORA at LOISAIDA CENTER.
WORKSHOP: FEBRUARY 11, 2017 - Nativa Remedies by Celeste Casillas: Community workshop, discussing ancient healing techniques is a modern setting.
Many native cultures throughout the world have used plant medicine, herbs and meditative rituals to provide support, healing, restoration of the body, mind and spirit while creating a sense of community and a connection to the land and our ancestors. While many of us have experienced aspects of these healing traditions as children, most of us have lost the connection to the earth and our ancestral wisdom. In this workshop we will explore various benefits of our herbal allies through participating in meditative space clearing techniques, tasting teas, infusions and tinctures and by discussing our diverse personal experiences with traditional healing techniques.
We will discuss how plant medicine easily fits into our modern lives and how 'ritualizing' our daily self care brings spiritual balance. Reconnecting with our elders and ancient traditions is an integral part of self awareness and strength. Each participant will be able to create an herbal salve to take with them.

ScotRail's new Class 385 EMU has begun testing on the electrified Edinburgh to Glasgow railway.
Full testing is now due to commence on the route after the first Class 385 made the journey between Edinburgh and Linlithgow in the early hours of October 18.
It was the first time an electric train as operated on the line since the overhead catenary went live on September 2 – albeit a train with no interior.
ScotRail said it is almost ready to begin testing along the full length of the line and that the new fleet will start to go into service over the next few months.
Hitachi is supplying 70 Class 385s for the current ScotRail franchise: 46 three-car and 24 four-car trains.
Ian McConnell, ScotRail Alliance programmes and transformation director, said: "Yesterday's trial was a hugely important step towards completing the electrification of the line between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
"Having a train run on the route is one of the final phases of the electrification process. That it has gone so well tells us that we are almost ready to begin the next stage – which is to start fully testing the new trains themselves.
"We are building the best railway that Scotland has ever had. When we replace the diesel trains with the brand new, state of the art, electric fleet we will deliver enormous benefits to our customers. Cleaner, greener travel – with more seats and faster journeys will completely transform travel between our two biggest cities."

One can make a difference
|Submitted By
|Chris Redmon
|Artist Statement
|The concept of this poster explains that one vote can make a difference. Some people believe that their vote doesn't count in this country. The theme of my poster is space. I was inspired by Neil Armstrong, who was the first man to walk on the moon. Many people doubted that he would ever make to the moon. One man made other males and females change their opinions. Many children yearned to explore the moon. Astronauts became admired and looked up to as heroes. A generation inspired by one man. I believe that one day a generation will look at voting as positively as walking on the moon. A generation that would become so inspired by the primaries as our grandparents were captivated by Neil Armstrong when he walked on the moon.

Ok guys, I'm finally back, to make my (somewhat sheepish) return to the world of blogging.
Which is also a return to the world of internet, sadly.
Our internet provider, who shall remain nameless... but begins with a V and ends in an N... has royally screwed this loyal customer of 6 years and seems not to care.
We moved into our new house in early May, and despite numerous promises, breakings of self-imposed deadlines, and half-hearted apologies, we are still awaiting our phone and internet to be in complete working order.
Trust me, that is the very short and very diplomatic version of my sad tale. However, since this is the most the internet has worked in over 3 weeks, I will take advantage!
It's all probably for the best that I took a little break, anyway, as Mr. Vittles and I have been busy little beavers. The first weekend of May was spent moving, then the next unpacking & also celebrating mother's day. The next was spent in upstate New York and Canada congratulating my brother-in-law Nick on his graduation from St. Lawrence University. And the last was spent in the Virginia/DC area celebrating our friends T.J. and Adrienne's wedding.
Thankfully our two long weekends out of town were spent doing fun things. But that much time away from the homefront didn't help our unpacking/settling momentum.... and certainly not my cooking/baking motivation, which in turn impacts the blogging.
You get the idea.
But... here we are. And hopefully I'm back in action.
I have to ask one thing, though- how could it possibly be the first weekend of June already?
Despite what the calendar tells me, here at the Jersey Shore we know that the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is the actual season of 'summer.' So I thought it was time to make a nice summer refreshment - raspberry lemonade!
Mr V. took a sip of the finished product after warily eyeing the leftover raspberry & lemon pulp in the sink, and looked genuinely surprised.
"Wow," he said. "That's really good."
He took a second sip. "Now I know what lemonade tastes like with real raspberries in it."
And it's true - this is soooo much better than the artificial raspberry taste you get with most lemonades on the market. Nothing beats the fresh stuff!
Anyway - hope y'all are doing well, and I'm looking forward to getting into some more seasonal recipes with you soon!
Raspberry Lemonade
- 7-8 whole lemons
- 3 1/2 C. cold water
- One 6-oz. package fresh raspberries
- 3/4 C. sugar
- Ice (for serving)
Slice one of the lemons thinly, discarding the ends. Set slices aside.
Juice the remaining whole lemons until you reach 1 C. of lemon juice. (By the way, hopefully you have a tool like this to help you get all the juice out of each lemon - trust me, simply squeezing a lemon half does not get that much juice out, and your hand will hurt to boot!)
Combine lemon juice with cold water in a pitcher or large bowl with a spout, and set aside.
In a smaller bowl, combine half of the lemon slices with the raspberries and sugar. Using a potato masher (or a heavy, flat-bottomed item such as a wine bottle) muddle the fruits with the sugar until juices are released and sugar starts to dissolve. Add muddled mixture to lemon/water mixture, and stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour entire mixture through a sieve into a separate bowl or pitcher - discard the seeds, pulp, and lemon rinds. (Keep in mind that the finer-mesh sieve you use for straining, the less chance there is of small seed and pup bits getting into your lemonade).
Serve lemonade chilled or over ice*, and garnish with remaining lemon slices. Serves 3-4 people.
*Tip: If you have additional raspberries, you can freeze them to use as ice so the lemonade doesn't get watered down. Or you can use the already-frozen kind.

Participant Reporting Obligations
(Large Gifts, Corrupt Approaches and Other Information)
The obligations on this page are very important!
There are things Participants have to tell ESIC in the Anti-Corruption Code that could mean a Participant commits an offence under the Code if they fail to tell ESIC without delay.
In particular:
Article 2.4.2 of the Code makes it an offence to fail to tell ESIC about any gift, payment, hospitality or other benefit, that the Participant knew or should have known was given to him/her to get you to do something wrong or that looks like it was given for that reason and might makes the Participant or the game or the league look bad.
Article 2.4.3 says a Participant must disclose all gifts (whether monetary or otherwise), hospitality and/or other non-contractual benefits offered to them if it is worth more than US$500.00 that aren't from a spouse or a blood relative or an official part of an Event the Participant is participating in.
Article 2.4.4 says a Participant must disclose to ESIC full details of any approaches or invitations received by the Participant to engage in Corrupt Conduct under the Anti-Corruption Code; and
Article 2.4.5 says a Participant must disclose to ESIC full details of any incident, fact, or matter that comes to the attention of the Participant that may evidence Corrupt Conduct under the Anti-Corruption Code by another Participant, including approaches or invitations that have been received by another Participant to engage in Corrupt Conduct under the Anti-Corruption Code. In other words, anything that you've seen or heard that indicates someone has or is trying to do something that is an offence under the Code.
NOTE: All Participants have a continuing obligation to report any new incident, fact, or matter that may evidence Corrupt Conduct to ESIC, even if the Participant's prior knowledge has already been reported.
The following contact details go directly to the Integrity Commissioner and no-one else and are not accessible to third parties. Any reports made will be treated in the strictest confidence and will not be disclosed to anyone outside ESIC except in strict accordance with the Anti-Corruption Code and only when disclosure is deemed necessary to the proper investigation and/or prosecution or adjudication of a potential offence/s under the Code.

My baby is asleep in his crib, in his room.
I can hear K-love over the baby monitor.
My sister is spending the night on the couch.
I am in bed. At 9:15. :)
This is how life should be. This is how I want my day to day to be. A house for people to stay at. A sleeping baby. Nothin to do but chill out and surf the net. But this is the first night in I don't even remember how long that I've let myself just relax and do "nothing".
A year ago I was busting by booty in summer school to finish my Bachelors. After that, I only had a couple months to get ready for baby. Then not too much later is was time to pack, with a newborn... And since we moved in, I've been unpacking non-stop because we set a house warming party date. Almost didn't make it (had a few breakdowns) but we had a party! The house was presentable, even a little decorated. :)
And now I feel like I can breath.
I told Frankie that in our little apartment that we lived in for a year I felt like I was always having to rearrange and we honestly never really got moved in. With all of Moses stuff added in we just didn't fit. So when we were deciding on a house I told Frankie that I just didn't want my life to be about rearranging and unpacking and sorting stuff. Today I got to help a friend with her rummage sale to raise money and awareness for victims of human trafficking. A much better way to spend my day!
I can't wait to see what life brings now that we are settled in to our home, our new neighborhood, our city. Here's to game nights with friends, dinners with family, and all sorts of adventures! Thank you Jesus for this next chapter.

The Mind of Chef Debuts on PBS
For a limited time on PBS.org, you can stream the first four episodes of the PBS series narrated by Anthony Bourdain, The Mind of a Chef. The focus of the first season is chef David Chang of Momofuku fame who takes the viewer on a tour of a few of his favorite things including ramen, the chef's love of pig, his path as a chef and Spain.
In the series premiere, "Chang dissects the roots of his passion for ramen dishes and tsukemen on a trip to Japan." The episodes capture the playful curiousity of Chang and insight into what makes him tick as a chef. The editing and background music may be a bit wonky, but the episodes are as addictive as the MSG-laden instant ramen that Change demonstrates how to eat raw.
The first four series on now on PBS.org until November 23.
Watch The Mind of a Chef - Preview on PBS. See more from PBS.
