Welcome to the town of Higham Ferrers which is within Northamptonshire, a county renowned for its "Squires and Spires".
Approach Higham Ferrers from the North, South, East or West and your way is uphill - the Town's commanding position above the River Nene gave it great strategic importance that even the Saxons were quick to take advantage of and made it a burgh of no little importance, later the Normans strengthened the rough Saxon fortifications and William the First gave ownership of the place to William Peverel, a capable general, who is reputed to have built the first of two local castles on this hill top site.
The little Northamptonsire town which has through so many centuries stood high in the geographical sense is also of high standing as a mellowed reminder of Old England.
The approaches - along the busy A6 route or the A45, belong to some of the county's chief industrial areas - proclaiming the modern world, but in Higham Ferrers the scene changes. There are raised pavements and grey houses that lead to a market place, and around the market place almost every building is old and historically interesting.
As well as the town itself standing high, the Parish Church stands like a beacon pinpointing the town from all approaches, with its beautiful steeple towering above all.
It has a richly crocketed steeple which, with its pierced parapet, flying buttresses and deep mouldings soars to 170 feet, that looks down upon a picture still matching up with the story of loyal men who from the days of William the Conqueror have treasured and guarded their civic rights, Into that picture came the notable figure of Henry Chichele, Henry V's Archbishop of Canterbury, and it is of Chichele - a native of the Borough - that the visitor is sure to learn.
Some of the buildings are direct links to Chichele, and these together with the magnificent parish church offer much reward to the stranger with a taste for history and an eye for the artistic.
Higham Ferrers was a free borough in 1251, and the first Royal Charter granting Borough status is enrolled on the Charter Rolls. The town grew slowly through the next centuries. Another Charter was granted by Philip and Mary in 1556 which gave the Town a right to send a Member to Parliament. From 1558 right through to 1832 it had it's own M.P..
A castle built by the Ferrers was granted to the Earl of Lancaster and thus eventually became part of the Royal Duchy.
Aerial surveys and excavations have confirmed that settlements existed here during the Roman period - the location of former Roman Baths, and pottery, implements and coins have all been found.
The Doomsday Book of 1086 records its name as "HECHAM", its Saxon name meaning a "SETTLEMENT ON A HILL" - various changes in its name took place over the centuries, but "HIGHAM" was finalised by a Borough Charter granted by William de Ferrers, whose forebears came to this country with William the Conqueror.
The Charter reads as follows:-
"On the morning of the 12th March, 1251, the men and women of Higham were bound serfs - that same evening a Charter founded the Borough, and these men and women became free burgesses, free to come and go, and free to manage their own affairs" - This Charter created HIGHAM as one of the oldest Boroughs within the country.
The addition of "FERRERS" took place in the 16th Century by Earl Ferrers, the then Lord of the Manor.
Its Borough status continued for 722 years, until 1973, when the small Boroughs, by government decree, reverted to Town status.
The Town Mayor is elected yearly, and the Town Council administers the towns affairs within the authority of the East Northamptonshire District Council.
In 1422 Henry Chichele, Archbishop of Canterbury founded a college and it is at this College from where we will begin our historic trail. Before we set out on our tour the visitor will soon realise that we cannot begin to talk of Higham Ferrers without first making you aware of this famous son of Higham.

OMG we bought a house!/
If you're anything Mr. Kate OBSESSED like I am, you'll know where the inspo for this blog title came from. This little jingle has played through my head for the last 5 months throughout our home buying journey! If you don't know Mr. Kate, check her out here. I apologize in advance for the hours you're about to spend on YouTube watching her channel. ;)
ANYWAYS, back to the topic at hand. So one of the main reasons I finally decided to start my blog was because we just bought a house! I've gotten soooo many questions about our house, the process of finding it, how we chose where to look, etc...it seemed much easier to create a series on here dedicated to that! Let's get started with how we even found this gem...
We started searching a little over a year ago...that's right, a year. Buying a house is one of the biggest purchases of your life and not something you should do on a whim. I will say at the beginning we definitely were not ready to put an offer in on just any house. When I say we started our search, I mean we narrowed down areas we wanted to look, got a better idea of the market values of the homes and really started to understand what we could afford. I cannot stress enough how important it is to prioritize what you want, set your standards and not settle for just any old house.
Also, for those of you who don't know, I am a licensed real estate agent in AZ (if you need any help in that department you know who to call!) My dad has been in the business for 40 years, so I've got a pretty good teacher to look up to but, this also makes me VERY, VERY picky with what to look for in a house.
Poor Sam would get SO excited about homes he would find on Zillow and I immediately found ten million things wrong with every single one. This went on for months LOL, what can I say? I know what I like!
We were dead set on living in Arcadia, who wouldn't want to live there right?! Sam and I were living in our apartment in North Scottsdale, which we loved but it's also where we both grew up so we just wanted a change. The restaurants, the people, the vibes of Arcadia were just so much more US.
Well, the price tag of Arcadia was definitely NOT us, LOL.
We knew that going into it so we were hoping to find an older house that needed some work and we could give it our own personal style. Well, again Arcadia is just saturated with flippers and pretty much impossible to find a fixer upper in our budget. If we did find anything worth pursuing it was gone in a day, literally. The market is actually on fire there, we couldn't even get close enough to touch it, haha.
So, just when we almost lost all hope, Sam's dad introduced us to the best guy EVER. Literally our saving grace in this process! Jeremy Lentine of The Gluch Group has been flipping homes and honestly doing Phoenix a big favor for the last few years. His work is INSANE! He works alongside his wife, Adrianne of the Dream Book Design blog and together they make magic happen....like straight up HGTV status.
When we first met Jeremy at the house back in February, let's just say it looked a little different. Think NO walls, flooring or windows....basically taken to the studs. I remember Jeremy saying to walk in with your HGTV glasses on because it wasn't a pretty sight to begin with. We looked around, talked about the vision for the place and said "WE'LL TAKE IT!" I mean driving up and seeing the midcentury roof lines....my jaw dropped and I was literally tugging Sam's arm, begging him to let us get it. Haha but really that's how it happened!
This is also the view we drove up to....which pretty much sealed the deal.
We feel SO lucky because Jeremy's style was so similar to ours. I am such a sucker for anything midcentury, it's such a timeless style. Honestly, if I had to walk through one more house with builder grade, white shaker cabinets I was gonna scream, lol. Nothing against them, just not our style!
Jeremy made the whole process extremely easy and stress free for us. Since we got in on the house so early we (aka me, TY babe for trusting my opinion!) got to choose the design finishes that had not already been ordered. This was SO much fun and really what in the end makes this house feel like OUR home!
If you're curious what the house looked like BEFORE it got its amazing face lift, head over to Adrianne's blog HERE she has a whole post with tons of before and after photos. I promise your jaw will drop!
I cannot wait to take you guys inside our home and show you all the little details. Stay tuned and subscribe for more posts from this series....it's gonna be a fun one!

Zdravo! My name is Viktoria and I am part of the Burgenland-Croatian minority in Austria. Ja govorim gradišćansko-hrvatski jezik i živim u Gerištofu i u Beču.
Both of my parents grew up in the same Burgenland-Croatian village where they also stayed after their marriage. During my childhood I hardly ever used German because at that time the majority of the inhabitants of my village spoke Croatian to me. My parents told me that I only started to speak German in bilingual primary school where we all together learned German from the beginning. After bilingual primary school I went to secondary school where I only had Burgenland-Croatian three times a week. I was really lucky that during my school-time I could speak and learn Croatian because I was the last generation to really receive bilingual education in primary school. Other Burgenland-Croats who live in Vienna or other parts of Austria cannot receive education in their mother tongue. Hence, the standard of the Burgenland-Croatian language is getting lower and lower.
Living in Vienna now, I try to meet with my friends from Burgenland to speak my mother tongue and I am not embarrassed of speaking my mother tongue in public. On the contrary, I am very proud of my language and want to present it to the world. Unfortunately many people do not see the advantage of speaking an additional language and being part of this minority. They simply do not want to teach their children how to speak Burgenland-Croatian or they do not want to speak their mother tongue in public. I would really like to change this situation and tell every single member of the minority to keep their mother tongue and present it to the rest of the world. Sadly I haven't found a recipe yet and I do not really know how to best promote our minority language. But I can just say: "You do not have any disadvantage if you speak any other language in public and at home. Every language is valuable and should be kept by its speakers." Gizdava sam, da govorim gradišćansko-hrvatski jezik.
Lip pozdrav, Viktoria

According to the United States Department of Labor, of all worker deaths in private industries, one in five of these deaths are in construction. Of those construction deaths, over 55 percent of them are a result of falling, being struck by an object, electrocution, and getting caught in or in-between objects or equipment.
Falls account for over 35 percent of all construction related deaths. In fact, they are so common that many states, such as New York City, have specific laws regarding construction related falls. According the website of Hach Rose LLP, a New York firm specializing in personal injury, New York has a strict liability statute applying to gravity-related injuries such as a worker falling from a height or an object falling and striking a worker, the second most common cause of death at 10 percent.
The third most common cause of construction death is electrocution. These are often caused by faulty wiring, overhead and underground power line safety problems, or electrical hazards with standing pools of water. Safety violations related to electrical equipment are so common that they are ranked twice on OSHA's top 10 most frequently cited violations.
Another common, high ranking violation for OSHA is machinery and machine guarding requirements. These violations often result in about 3 percent of workers getting caught in or in-between construction objects or equipment.
Simply being aware of the dangers associated with unsafe construction sites is not enough. Even when construction workers are safe, deaths may be caused by negligence on behalf of the contractor or property manager. The website of the LaMarca Law Group, P.C. states that although the laws and regulations pertaining to construction in the U.S. are quite strict, there are a number of professionals who are willing to gamble with safety regulations in order to save on time, labor costs, or expenses for materials. By doing so, they endanger the lives of workers and future occupants.

I am majoring in statistics under the advanced stream (here, we have mainstream/normal and advanced streams).
Transport is pretty convenient, since it's roughly a 12-minute walk from Redfern Station to statistics/mathematics classes.
It's very normal to have a 5-day timetable (I've never had anything less, though it's perfectly possible, depending on your units). That said, lectures aren't compulsory (along with some tutorials), and several of my friends skip days with one or two lectures and watch them online.
The quality of education is very good, and at least on-par with the other unis. But there is a lot of variation, due to the fact that different lecturers do things differently. My current advanced stats lecturer is very hands-on and an all-round intense guy (he records marks for our weekly tutorial worksheet), whereas the normal stream equivalent course has a lecturer that is less intense. But in the end, it's just like any other uni: from time to time, you may end up with a boring, ineffectual lecturer, or get lucky and study under a highly competent one.
Mathematical statistics is a formal mathematics degree, and consequently it should be among the more conceptual and difficult majors you can do. Once again, USYD offers the courses in two streams: normal and advanced. Every normal course has an advanced counterpart which is either (a) a completely separate course with its own set of lectures, tutorials and computer labs, or (b) is just the normal stream lecturers, tutorials, and computer labs, but with additional seminars on advanced content, and tutorials and assessments has a couple more additional questions for advanced students. (First, second, and half of third-year advanced stats courses runs like (a).)
The advanced stream has more (and more difficult) content and is a lot more mathematically rigorous. In my opinion, it's also more interesting, though that probably has more to do with how interested and comfortable you are with mathematics.
The normal stream is more manageable in comparison. The workload isn't as high, and the assessments are much more manageable. In general, if you want to go through uni with minimal workload and maximise your WAM, the normal stream is preferable. But if you are interested in stats/maths, highly competent at maths, and considering postgraduate studies in statistics, the advanced stream is a good option (though be prepared to put in ton of effort).
Hope this helps!

David Brat wins over Republican majority leader Eric CantorJune 12, 2014
Cantor's Upset Defeat Reinvigorates Tea Party
By Melanie Batley
Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's stunning defeat to tea party upstart David Brat in Tuesday's Virginia GOP primary handed the conservative movement renewed optimism in its ongoing battle against establishment Republicans.
The Wall Street Journal described the result as has having shattered "in one dramatic stroke the conviction of the GOP establishment that it was finally gaining the upper hand against the party's conservative rebels."
"The upset also sends a signal to the Republican establishment and its business backers that they haven't quite accomplished their goal for the year: taking back control of the party's nominating process from unpredictable grassroots conservatives who in recent years have succeeded in gaining nominations for candidates in some key races the party has gone on to lose," the Journal added.
Cantor lost in the open primary to the economics and ethics professor from Randolph-Macon College, who got 55.5 percent support compared to Cantor's 44.5 percent. Brat was outspent by 14-1, having raised just $200,000 for his shoestring campaign compared to Cantor's $5 million war chest.
Pundits were totally caught off guard, but believe Brat's victory was driven by two main factors: dissatisfaction with the Washington establishment and a campaign narrative that framed Cantor as a supporter of "amnesty" in the immigration debate.
Last month, establishment Republicans were virtually gloating over victories in a number of early primaries, believing it had gained an advantage it the civil war that has been raging since October's government shutdown.
The New York Times described Cantor's loss as a "bad omen for moderates."
Cantor's loss "will reverberate all the way to the speaker's chair" and "most likely doom any ambitious legislation, possibly through the next presidential election," Jonathan Weisman and Jennifer Steinhauer of the Times wrote.
New York GOP Rep. Peter King told the Times,"The results tonight will move the party further to the right, which will marginalize us further as a national party."
The defeat was symbolic because, Cantor, the second most powerful Republican in the House, was believed to be next in line for House speaker upon John Boehner's expected retirement. Conservatives are now expected to be emboldened to make a challenge for the speakership.
The results will also likely buoy tea party-aligned lawmakers in the House who in recent months have seen their agenda marginalized by the GOP leadership, the Journal said.
Meanwhile, the likelihood of GOP immigration reform legislation in this Congress is also effectively terminated.
Brat told Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday that his support of immigration reform was "the most symbolic issue that captures the differences between myself and Eric Cantor in this race. But it also captures the fissure between Main Street and Wall Street."
Ironically, Cantor was instrumental in helping the tide of tea party candidates who were swept into the House in 2010.
"Mr. Cantor's demise is mildly Shakespearean," the Times said. "Along with Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, Mr. Cantor helped elevate Tea Party candidates in 2010 across the nation by giving them financial and political support, only to be done in by the very type of newcomer he once groomed."
In November, Brat will face Democratic nominee Jack Trammell, also a professor at Randolph-Macon College.

WordPress Website Design for Realtors
WordPress started as a platform / system just for blogging, but has evolved into a full content management system and so much more through the thousands of themes, plugins and widgets available. On WordPress.Org you can download and install the WordPress software. You need a web host and some time – or you hire someone like me. WordPress websites are required to have an SSL certificate as of 2017.
There is also a service called WordPress.Com which lets you get started with a new and free WordPress-based blog in minutes, but varies in several ways and is less flexible than the WordPress you download and install yourself. I've worked with the WordPress platform since 2011.
Neighborhood Focus for Realtors
The choice of neighborhood is an important factor for your prospective home buyers. Their lifestyle is as important as the ideal features that they're looking for in a home – making it essential to have the details of a home as well as information about the neighborhood. Considerations such as local schools, amenities, transportation, traffic, crime rates, weather, and the surrounding community are all key aspects of selecting the ideal home and location for home buyers. When creating your custom designed WordPress website, focus is made on creating specific neighborhood pages that include these details as well as listings for that neighborhood using IDX listings.
Neighborhood pages also provide optimal indexing by the search engines. Having individual community / neighborhood pages creates the opportunity for specific metatags for that neighborhood instead of a single page with multiple locations, making it more difficult to include all locations in the metatags.

Once a year we partake in a sailing race from Inhaca to Richards Bay. The first time I participated in the race was in 2015. On the trusted Alkistis we turn this trip into a 10 day adventure which includes the voyage to Inhaca, a few days enjoying the wilderness and then the race itself.
In 2015 we managed to be placed 3rd in our fleet, 2016 we came first but then sadly this year the race was cancelled dur to bad weather. However we still had a fabulous time anchored at Santa Maria island.
Here are a few snaps from our journey. (Click to enlarge)

Mission Control
Following that inspiration, I felt like his fort on our playset needed its own control panel complete with lots of buttons, knobs, flippers, etc so he can imagine til his heart's content. Here's what I came up with.
I started with a bag of old hinges, door knobs and handles, casters, drawer pulls, etc. Miscellaneous junk for the most part. Instead of putting a bajillion holes into the planks in his fort, I decided I'd attach all these "controls" to a board that could be mounted with only a few attachments to the fort. Since I don't own a saw of any kind and didn't want to beg anyone to cut some wood for me, I used an old cabinet door that was collecting dust. Added spray paint and began attaching all the do-hickers (that's a Texan term) to the door.
With lots of help from the hubs, we drilled holes and attached each item with screws. After a little sweat, over a couple of days - Ta Da! A custom Misson Control Panel!
Perfect for any wanna-be-astronaut, button-happy 3 year old to imagine the afternoon away!
I'm entering in my first contest with this project over here at Fireflies & Jellybeans! Wish me luck!!

As I write this, it is just after 10PM on April 28th. Exactly a year ago, this moment, I was lying on my living room, next to my sweet dog, stroking his head and crying, witnessing the last hours of his life. I fell asleep a few feet away from him, and when I woke the next morning, he was gone.
I have missed him terribly in the 12 months since then. But I have also felt him with me, so strongly. And as the anniversary of his death approached, I became more and more aware of his presence.
A month ago, on my daily walk, clouds blew in and covered the sun. The wind blew through the trees that were just beginning to blossom, and I was suddenly transported back in time, to the all the walks I took my dog on back in our old neighborhood. It was such a strong memory, that I felt he was there, walking beside me. When I remembered my spot in time and space, and realized he was no longer with me, I was momentarily saddened.
Just then, I looked up to see a stuffed animal that had been abandoned on the sidewalk. It was a fox (my symbol for my dog). I almost cried, knowing it was a message from him that he was still with me.
Tonight, though I was painfully aware of the anniversary of his death, I didn't expect to experience a particularly strong emotional disturbance. Once 9PM hit, however, I started crying in bursts – it would come on suddenly, a few sobs, and then disappear. And then it would happen again. And again. I didn't know what was going on, until I realized the pain of that night, my last night with him, was surfacing.
As I sat down to journal about it, I found an entry from that very night, though written earlier in the day, before I realized how close he was to leaving me. I had written about the pain I was in, so fresh from the separation from my ex, and how I couldn't bear any of it. Not that loss, and not the loss I knew was eventually coming in the form of my dog's death. "I don't think I can survive this," I wrote. "I don't think there's a way to get to the other side, because I don't think there IS an other side."
When I read that, I felt so much compassion for myself. I had such a long way to go back then. And seeing it from here – well, it just proves that there was, indeed, an "other side." And I made it there.
However, that's not what really threw me tonight.
In the journal, I wrote about how I had felt extremely sick that day, a year ago, and how I had bundled myself up on the couch, watching Community. One of the characters had said something that struck me so deeply that I wrote the quote in the margin of my journal:
"When we release pain, we become visible to each other."
I got the chills, and I got them again as I typed this.
In this moment, on this night, so much pain has surfaced and poured out. And I have worked through so much of it over the past year. And all that time ago, I was working on visibility and I didn't even know it.
To know that this lesson of visibility is something my little fox guide has been working through me makes it all the more profound to me.
Thank you for the lessons, little fox.

While the Great Recession drags on, there are some bright green spots in the economic landscape, many of them a direct result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. President Obama recently stopped by the Smith Electric Vehicles in Kansas City, Missouri, to celebrate one of those bright spots: the fact that Smith, the nation's top manufacturer of battery-electric trucks, and the recent recipient of a Department of Energy (DOE) grant, is hiring its 50th worker, and expects to directly and indirectly create 150 more jobs.
The $32 million DOE grant–coupled with $36 million in private capital–is aimed at helping Smith to offset future vehicle development costs and incentivize customers to participate in a commercial electric vehicle demonstration program. Under the terms of the grant, Smith is building 500 electric-drive trucks, which will be tested out by commercial fleet customers like Coca-Cola and AT&T interested in lowering their costs by replacing diesel-powered trucks with electric ones.
Smith Electric produces the Newton, currently the only all-electric medium/heavy-truck listed on the General Services Administration Schedule (which, we assume, means they are approved for use by government agencies). The truck delivers a top speed of 50 mph and a range of 50 to 120 miles on a single charge, operating at peak effectiveness in urban applications with demanding stop-and-go schedules. According to Smith Electric, a single overnight charge provides more than enough range for most urban delivery routes.
"Because of the grant that went to this company," said President Obama, in his July 8th speech at Smith Electric, "we can hear the sounds of machines humming and people doing their work, instead of just the ghostly silence of an emptied-out building and the memory of workers who were laid off a long time ago." He went on to note that the story of Smith's factory illustrated the direct and measurable impact of the Recovery Act.

One of the world's leading authorities on genetics says the human race was born into existence after a chimpanzee mated with a pig.
Dr. Eugene McCarthy's stunning claims were made in an online article, although it was not clear when the startling findings was initially published.
According to the University of Georgia alumnus, while human beings share a number of characteristics with chimpanzees, there are others that don't correspond with the primates.
"What is this other animal that has all these traits? The answer is Sus scrofa – the ordinary pig," he wrote.
"The tentative scenario that I picture is that human beings came into being via hybridization between a pig, whose best modern representative is Sus scrofa, and an ape, best represented today by the pygmy chimpanzee, Pan paniscus," he added.
McCarthy's claims even initially stunned him.
"I must admit that I initially felt a certain amount of repugnance at the idea of being a hybrid," he stated. "The image of a pig mating with an ape is not a pretty one, nor is that of a horde of monstrous half-humans breeding in a hybrid swarm."
[sharequote align="center"]"The image of a pig mating with an ape is not a pretty one…"[/sharequote]
"But the way we came to be is not so important as the fact that we now exist," he concluded. "As every Machiavellian knows, good things can emerge from ugly processes, and I think the human race is a very good thing."
This post has been updated to reflect that, while McCarthy is an alumnus of the University of Georgia, the scientist is not a faculty member at the school.

Hi Michelle, love your post. We are also celebrating Organic September here in the UK and I have just written a very similar post on my blog. Would love your feedback. You find it under www.bnatural.life Happy Sunday. SallyReply
I know that the label is supposed to be guarantee that a product is "organic" but I find myself questioning whether it really is or not. After a health scare (MI) a few years ago, we changed our diets dramatically. If I eat processed food now, I will feel uncomfortable for days, as will our children. Processed food can be organic. I am trusting my senses and my body to tell me what is good for me and what is not. The children are having so much fun with ingredient labels. Our daughter at 6 asked us what artificial meant. She pronounced it "arti-fickle". We still laugh about that. Thanks for your article. Regards, Johnny RReply

I didn't mean to read quite as much "front list" as I have this year. 23 of the 45 books I will have finished were published in 2016. It's probably inevitable, since being part of the Book Riot contributor community means that I tend to have my finger on the pulse of what's coming out, and it's hard not to get distracted by shiny objects.
Some of these 2016 books were great. Some were forgettable. Some were perfectly enjoyable but perhaps not worthy of the sometimes crazy amount of buzz surrounding their release. Here are my top 1o, and because I like to inflict existential crises on myself, I've forced myself to put them in ascending order of enjoyment — but in some cases it's hair splitting and in others I've changed my mind several times.
And, well, I'm gonna go ahead and give myself an honourable mention, because people seem to be enjoying Walk with Us: How The West Wing Changed Our Lives, a collection of essays and quotes by and for and about fans of the show (and edited by yours truly), to celebrate the end of its tenth anniversary.
10. Eligible, by Curtis Sittenfeld
This was a fun contemporary rewrite of Pride and Prejudice. Yes, it was over the top at times — but so is the original. Yes, Kitty and Lydia were ridiculous: that's half the fun of Austen's novel. Curtis Sittenfeld stayed true to the character's essences and I particularly enjoyed the 21st century Mr and Mrs Bennett. Also, short chapters helped this to fly by. And the gorgeous Book of the Month hardback made the experience even more pleasurable.
9. In Twenty Years, by Allison Winn Scotch
I know Allison a little from social media, and fell in love with this cover as well as the premise of the book — college friends reuniting almost twenty years — so I asked for a review copy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The friends are almost forty, and their lives are in various stages of different kinds of disarray. We explore this with them – how did they get there? Can they make different choices or is it too late? And we relive some of their college years, too, which I love to do.
8. Up to This Pointe, by Jennifer Longo
Ballet novels are one of my kryptonites, and I'd heard good things about this one. We meet seventeen-year-old Harper Scott in Antarctica, where she has come to find herself or possibly just to hide from people and events back home. In alternating chapters, we find out about those people and events and follow her new life in the frozen darkness. The "back home" is the ballet part, and it's set in a wonderfully well-rendered San Francisco. Harper is a highly likeable character, in love with dance and devoted to friends and family, and I really enjoyed spending time with her and the people in her life, and found myself rooting for her to make certain choices. The world of ballet is one of such emotional complexity, and this book does a wonderful job of exploring that and making the reader – this reader, at least – feel many of those complex emotions on a visceral level, too.
7. Good on Paper, by Rachel Cantor
I'd never read anything like this novel before. The main character is a literary translator – certainly something I'd never seen in a book, and a world I'm interested in and hope to make my own one day. And there's no denying this novel is smart, esoteric, and high brow, with discussions of philosophy and methodology of translation and different readings of Dante – but it's highly readable too. Good On Paper is populated by interesting characters and faithful to the messiness of life, and at times laugh-out-loud funny.
6. One True Loves, by Taylor Jenkins Reid
What happens when the husband you loved and thought was dead comes back into your life just as you are deliriously happy with someone else? I read this in three days, which for me is fast, especially when there's no beach involved. It was a page turner and an easy read and I felt invested in the characters and their outcomes – the author did an excellent job of leading me through the emotional arc without making me feel manipualted. Highly recommended.
5. The Hopefuls, by Jennifer Close
There's nothing I like more than a good DC novel, and this one didn't disappoint. If you love and miss The West Wing, this is one book you'll want to pick up. Jennifer Close gets so many things about DC and its culture so very right – she lives here (as do I, and I regularly bump into her at literary events) and it shows. She also knows political campaigns inside out – the bad and the ugly as well as the good. She writes honestly and convincingly about those aspects of marriage and friendship, too.
4. The Gilded Years, by Karin Tanabe
Karin Tanabe's third novel is historical fiction set in the Gilded Age – hence its perfect title – and inspired by the true story of Anita Hemmings, who was the first African American to attend Vassar, where she "passed" as white. It's wonderful, and I'm not just saying that because Karin is my friend – the characters really come alive, not least through some excellent dialogue. I particularly loved Anita's roommate, Lottie, who is rich and privileged and larger than life in the best ways. (Best for a character in a novel, that is. Real life is another matter.) Always so fun to re-immerse myself in college years, too, which are so formative and were so happy for me.
3. Modern Lovers, by Emma Straub
I liked Emma Straub's The Vacationers: A Novel quite a lot a couple of years ago — it was that elusive delight I find easy-to-read literary fiction to be. Modern Lovers was that, too, and another multiple point-of-view family-based novel. As in The Vacationers, I found the teenagers' sections to be the most enjoyable. I binge-read it in two or three days, which automatically qualified it for a place on this list.
2. The Nest, by Cynthia d'Aprix Sweeney
I loved this much-buzzed-about book a lot – it's at the Venn Diagram intersection of two of my favourite things: Rich People Problems and the quiet novel where not much really happens but where you get to observe people's lives close up. I loved that we got multiple characters – it's not easy to do well, or in a way that doesn't confuse easily-confusible me, but the narrator jumps between them with agility.
1. The Mothers by Brit Bennett
The mothers in question here are the older women in a church, through whose eyes we see a developing relationship and its ensuing fallout, and who have a wise, enticing voice. I loved this book for many reasons, one of which was that I really enjoyed reading about a very recognisable church community in mainstream literary fiction, and Brit Bennett's writing is deft and eloquent.

For The Record: The Tiny House Movement is NOT About Cheap Houses
Oddly, I've been thinking about writing a post about the "spirit" behind the tiny house movement for a while now based on some of the comments I've seen floating around the tiny house realm. Last night, however, after the showing of HGTV's new Tiny House Hunters, the negative reaction of so many "haters" (for lack of a better-generalized term) finally gave me the incentive I needed to wake up super early and get it done. For some hard-to-explain reason, it's super important to me that I clarify that the tiny house movement is NOT about cheap dwellings!
If you page through this blog, you'll see some of my earlier posts that discuss the reasons that John and I decided to build a tiny house and a cheap house really wasn't one of them. Sure, we were looking for financial freedom, a more simplistic and less consumeristic lifestyle, but we weren't looking for a $5,000 dwelling or even a $20,000 one. We knew that if a tiny house were going to work for us we were going to have to love being in it and for us, that meant a kitchen we could cook in with upgraded appliances, tons of upgraded windows to keep the heating/cooling inside while letting the light and "space" of the outside in, a bathroom at the opposite end of the house as the kitchen, giant French doors, and a construction that would last our lifetime. We also knew that we weren't going to be able to build it ourselves so we were going to have to pay for someone else's' time and experience. Our budget was $45,000.
This number, surprisingly, brings us a lot of hate in the movement, as though the fact we could pay such a large sum of money makes us unworthy of the tiny house movement.
"You could buy a "big" house where I live for that amount of money."
We probably could, but we don't want to live where you live. We want to live where WE live and there currently aren't any houses with our finishes going for $45,000 in downtown Nashville.
"Looks like the greed factor is hitting the tiny house market"
Greed? We decided to pare down our belongings to only what could fit inside 204sqft and live with a family of 3 people a dog and a cat because we realized the consumerism of our society was causing us to work hard just to pay for our lifestyle without bringing any real happiness. We used the sale of our 1200 sqft condo and our 401k's to pay for our tiny house. What part of that is fueled by greed?
"If you're paying more than $15k-$20k for a tiny house, you don't need a tiny house and should just put a downpayment on a big house."
The reasoning behind this comment is so flawed I shouldn't even include it here, but the spirit behind it works with my point. Tiny houses aren't always about IMMEDIATE need. Sure, we had the ability to access a large chunk of cash in the immediate to build our tiny house, but the goal was to learn to live a more simplified life now so that we were financially more stable later down the road. Sinking that money into a big house would have done nothing to facilitate that PLUS it wouldn't have addressed the other reason we went tiny, and that was to be an advocate for the entire movement!
I'm about to get political here, so bear with me. If the tiny house movement was filled solely with thousands of people who couldn't afford to buy any other type of house, where they spend only the bare minimum of money on constructing a tiny house, and then stick them the only place you can legally stick one (on a large plot of rural land), do you think they'd have gotten the attention of not one, not two, not three, but numerous national television shows? Do you think they'd be driving the change in many cities that are changing building and zoning regulations to allow tiny dwellings? Maybe, but I don't think so.
There was a point in our build where we realized we'd have no place to put it without going rural, and that drove me to the point of panic. We didn't WANT to live 60 minutes from work. Spending our lives commuting was one of the reasons we left DC and embarked on our tiny house journey. We sat down and contemplated pulling the plug on the whole idea. We wrote out a list of pros and cons of continuing with the build, and to be honest, the cons had a much longer list. Ultimately, we decided to forge ahead anyways though, and not for our own reasons. We decided that even if we couldn't live in our tiny house right away, we could use it to spread the word about the tiny house movement. Exposure and education was the key to changing regulations and giving the tiny house movement the foot-in-the-door it needed to be legal so that the people who did truly need dwelling options that were more affordable would have access to them. We decided to host monthly open houses and to open up our home for tiny house hopefuls to rent out and test drive because we knew that most people wouldn't take the plunge or fight for the tiny house movement unless they had seen one and moved around in one.
We decided to be a part of the solution and a part of the change instead a part of the problem, and to do that, we were willing to "pay to play."
Ultimately, what I'm trying to get at is that not everyone in the tiny house movement is looking for a cheap place to live. Some people are looking for simplicity/minimalism, some people are looking for mobility, some people are looking for a luxury they wouldn't be able to afford in a "big" house, and some are looking for something else all together. That doesn't make them unworthy of the tiny house movement, it doesn't mean they're soiling the movement or detracting from the movement. The movement isn't about money at all, it's about the freedom to live within your means, whatever those means are. And in my opinion, those who NEED the cheap housing also NEED the people who can afford to make fancy expensive tiny houses so that they can gain exposure and move the movement forward. This movement requires all types and we need to work together.
In the end, we're tiny, we don't take up much room. There is more than enough room in this movement for all of us.

Over the last year I have made a lot of changes in my life and one of the big ones is that I started Weight Watchers and started doing yoga daily. I dropped 52 lbs! Over the last 2 months though, even that has taken a backseat to 'life'. So I am getting back into the swing of things with WW and yoga as well. As part of that I have started a FitBloggin' Local Community on Meetup. I am looking forward to making some new friends who are on the same road of creating a healthier version of ourselves.
What about you? Are you in the same boat as so many of us?

Source: Canadian Living , By Lola Augustine Brown
We all like to spoil our dogs and cats and treat them as part of the family. But is feeding them food meant for humans a problem for their health?
There's no doubt that we like to humanize our pets and treat them as part of our family, which is why we get so much pleasure from splurging on high-end treats and giving them the occasional bits of human food, too. However, for several reasons, we probably aren't doing them much good when we do. Here's what you should know about pet food.
The trouble with people food
Pretty much everyone gives their pets human food, including many veterinarians, says Ray Snowpek, a vet in Abbotford, BC, and past chair of the Pet Food Certification Committee. The problem? Failing to account for the calories — especially when our pets are overweight. When we give them the food off our plates, the number of calories that we are adding is intense.
If you habitually feed Fido table scraps, you need to lessen the amount of dog food that you are giving him in order to compensate. Otherwise, he'll suffer. We think we are being kind, but by letting our animals get obese we take away their ability to jump and play as they get older, especially with smaller breeds, says Snowpek.
Also, cats and dogs have different nutritional needs than we do, so if they get too much human food, it can completely throw their diet out of balance, says Snowpek, and lots of animals have allergies to human foods such as wheat and dairy products. Because of this, a lot of pets get stimulated into allergic bowel problems because of what they are fed from the plate.
There are, of course, certain foods that you should never give to your pets. Most people know that chocolate is harmful to dogs, but there are other problem foods we should be aware of. Snowpek says that grapes and raisins can cause severe kidney problems in dogs and cats, and dogs with kidney stones should never be given carrots and various other kinds of human foods. Dairy products are one of the biggest food allergens for pets in Canada. Check with your vet as to which human foods are completely off the table for your pets, especially if they have medical issues.
Pet foods and treats that sound good enough for us to eat
So what about all those pet foods and treats designed to mimic human food? A lot of that is just marketing to us and our desire to humanize our pets,†says Snowpek. When you see dog ice cream and this and that, it plays on our desire to have them eat as we do. I wouldn't say that it is harmful, but it has a lot more to do with marketing than nutrition.
As for the treats you see on pet store counters, such as doggy cupcakes and cookies, Snowpek says that they are purely for the emotional need of the owner to buy something special for their dog, and nothing to do with the nutritional needs of the animal.

On the other hand, Christine Greening, owner of high-end pet store Bark and Fitz in Halifax, sells a lot of these types of treats. They are very popular, especially the happy birthday bone cookies," she says. "They fly out of here.
Greening sees nothing wrong with us wanting to treat our dogs. I think we just want to show them how much we love them by giving them something decadent, she says. One of the most popular lines of dog foods that she sells is made by a company called Merrick, and the flavours are very much designed to appeal to this urge. Depending on the season, Merrick dog (and cat) food comes in flavours like Thanksgiving Dinner, Grammy's Pot Pie and Turducken. We sell a lot of those flavours over the holidays," says Greening. "Yes, the marketing is very human driven, but the foods are of a very high quality, too.
It's not really so bad — if you do it right
Snowpek says that if you do want to pick up pet food with flavours that sound designed for humans, you're best off getting it from a larger, reputable company, because then you know that the food is still going to be nutritious and safe. If there are ever any recalls, these don't tend to happen with the more reputable brands, he says.
While it may be true that our pets don't actually need — or even care about — treats and foods that look like they're means for humans, there doesn't seem to be any real harm done if we do succumb to the clever marketing of those products. So long as we choose quality, and don't let the treats make up too many calories, it's all good. As for feeding our pets straight-up human food, we need to be more careful, and ensure that the foods aren't too dense in calories — or even dangerous.

Landscaping, when done properly, creates amazing aesthetic appeal. Landscaping should also give give the home owner necessary space. Read on more more tips that will help you do this.
Local Plants
Use local plants for your yard. Local plants are simpler to take care of since they are used to the soil. For low-maintenance, native plants are an excellent choice. Check out a local gardening store and see what plants are actually native in your area.
Ask an expert to test your soil before you plant. This can give you valuable information about anything that your soil might be lacking in. You can use this information to make changes to the soil which will encourage healthy plant growth. That way, your plants stand a better chance of thriving.
Is selling your home in your plans? Landscaping your yard is a great way to increase the value of your house. Use the front yard to give your home curb appeal and the back yard for an outdoor entertaining area.
It can be quite hard to landscape your entire yard in one project. You are better off breaking up large projects into smaller phases. If any changes arise, this will make it easier to implement them.
Cut costs by making purchases at the right time. Purchase lumber in the wintertime, and purchase greenery later in the season. When new plant varieties crop up, wait a couple of years for the prices to lower before investing in them for your landscaping.
When making plans to modify the landscaping, think about the existing items prior to doing anything. Go over where your sprinkler pipes, air conditioners and various other things around your home are because you don't want your landscaping to interfere with them. Also contact your municipal government to find out where all underground items, like pipes and wires, are located before you dig.
When starting a substantial do-it-yourself landscape project, consider a short consultation with a professional landscape designer or architect to get their perspective on your materials and design. Making this small investment will save you time and money throughout your project. They generally cost about $75, so it can be worth it to avoid costly mistakes later on.
You get what you pay for. While you can locate inexpensive supplies, the quality can be below what you want or need. Whether you are new at landscaping or an old pro, try a specialty store. They will be able to guarantee your purchases and give you valuable advice on your project.
If you plan to get a professional gardener or landscaper, always get references or ask people who they recommend. Planning for the cost of your project is important, but you must also be confident in the work that your landscaper is going to perform.
Know your end plan as well as your priorities before you start a new landscaping project. By prioritizing, you can get satisfying results even on a small budget. What you have read here will make it easier to do so. Use what you've learned and you'll be amazed with the results!

Compatriot Stephen Renouf (Vice President General - Western District) has, in recent emails, identified the areas where "self-censorship" is required and appropriate, namely (in his words):
[1] "Many of us object to censorship, except in the areas of partisanship or character assassination, which must be prohibited."
[2] ". . . there is some censorship that we must impose to protect our tax-exempt status. When the SAR was formed, there was no income tax. Now that there is, we must impose some self-censorship. . . . The speech that we must self-censor to protect our [tax-exempt] status is partisan speech. The IRS rules do not permit us to participate in political campaign activity by supporting or criticizing a partisan candidate or party. . . . We have the freedom to take a stand on issues relating to the [SAR's] mission in the charter independent of what political parties do."
The speech to which Compatriot Anthony Bothwell (President, San Francisco Chapter) objected lies in both areas identified by Steve ("partisanship or character assassination" and "criticizing a partisan candidate or party"), namely, State President Dodd's use of pejorative terms and phrases such as Tories and European values* that are patently partisan. This is the ONLY issue that Tony raised. An SAR officer, or any SAR Member, may not use partisan terms when representing the SAR. See President Bothwell's email of 19 June 2011.
-- Jon Miller

Food Lovers,
July equals summer so let's share a summer lentil salad which will be a perfect side dish to your BBQ or even delicious by its own for the vegetarian and vegan people among you. This side dish is so nutritious and healthy.
Low in calories and high in nutrition, lentils are the perfect vegetable to eat in the summer in salads. You can find green, red and brown lentils on the market.
Below are a few benefits of lentils listed to convince you to put lentils into your regular diet.
1. Protein: of all nuts and vegetables, lentils contain the third-highest levels of protein. 26 percent of lentil's calories are attributed to protein, which makes them a wonderful source of protein for vegetarians and vegans. Lentils are a great substitute for meat.
2. Weight loss: lentils are low in calories and contain no fat. One cup of cooked lentils only contains about 220 calories and most of all it will leave you feeling full and satisfied after your meal.
3. Energy: lentils increase slow-burning energy due to their fiber and complex carbohydrates. Lentils are a good source of iron, which transports oxygen throughout your body and is key to energy production and metabolism.
4. Digestion: fiber found in lentils helps prevent constipation and other digestive disorders.
5. Heart Health: several studies have shown that eating high fiber foods like lentils reduces your risk of heart disease.
– Boiled lentils
– 1/2 bell pepper (paprika)
– 1/4 cucumber
– 1 tomato
– some half sundried tomatoes (in oil)
– 1/2 lemon juice
– some basil (used about 20 leaves)
– some cilantro (coriander)
– olive oil
– pepper, salt, Cajun pepper, cinnamon, cumin
To boil lentils, use three cups of liquid for each cup of lentils. Lentils placed in already boiling water will be easier to digest than those that were brought to a boil with the water. When the water returns to a boil, turn down the heat to simmer and cover. Green lentils usually take 30 minutes, while red ones require 20 minutes.
1. Slice the cucumber, bell pepper, tomato into cubes. Slice the sundried tomatoes and shop the cilantro and basil as shown below. Spring onions would be a great asset in this recipe but I decided not to use it as my guest doesn't like the taste of raw onion.
2. Put the lentils, sliced vegetables, lemon juice and the herbs in a big bowl. Add a tablespoon of cumin, a teaspoon of cinnamon, a teaspoon of Cajun pepper, some salt and pepper. Stir all these ingredients all together.
The only advice that I can give you is to add the spices as you desire. As for example we are used to spicy food, I used more Cajun pepper than indicated.
3. Your side dish is ready to serve.
You can accompany this side dish with some potatoes (cold potatoes added to the lentil mixture) and vegan nut burger. The possibilities to accompany this dish are endless.
One more tip I can give you, cook a big amount of lentil (for example 1 kg) and store it in the freezer in small boxes. This will make it easier to consume lentils more than once a week.
Enjoy and stay blessed food lovers.

LANCASTER, Calif. (KABC) --Disturbing video captured the brutal assault of a woman leaving a Lancaster bank.
WARNING: The video in the player above may be disturbing to some people.
The video recorded on Feb. 17 showed the assault that took place at about 7 p.m. in a bank parking lot. The victim, 19-year-old Josselyn Montejo, spoke exclusively to ABC7 Eyewitness News about the attack.
Montejo said she was attacked by her ex-girlfriend and the friends of her ex-girlfriend as she left work.
"I started getting really dizzy," Montejo recalled, "I started feeling all the hits on my face."
The woman from Palmdale ended up on the ground, while the attackers continued the violent onslaught. A witness can be heard urging the women to get in the car and that they needed to leave.
"I felt like my body was going numb, I couldn't really register what was happening anymore," Montejo said.
The three suspects who attacked Montejo and two witnesses left her on the ground. Montejo said the incident started as a dispute over property she once shared with her ex-girlfriend.
"If you guys sat outside my job for 45 minutes and two people were recording, you guys knew this was going to happen," Montejo said.
To add insult to injury, Montejo said the suspects shared the video on social media to embarrass her.
"I want people to understand that it's not OK to humiliate a person like that," Montejo said.
Now Montejo hopes the suspects will face criminal prosecution, or else she fears they would be willing to commit similar violent acts.
"If the police let them go like this, they're going to think this is something they can continue doing and nothing is going to happen," Montejo said.
Watching the video for Montejo was hard, but she said the fear of being attacked again is much harder to cope with.
"I'm terrified to leave my house. I have to call somebody every time I leave because I'm so scared that I'm being followed," she described.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said it obtained the fight video and has pictures of Montejo's injuries as evidence. Deputies said two females were arrested, ages 20 and 17, and stated they could face charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
A third suspect, who is 25 years old, has been named and is not in custody yet, according to the sheriff's department. Deputies said two witnesses, ages 29 and 22, were with the suspects and one of them recorded the incident.
