Hi, my name is Darren. I am the president/CEO of North Coast Inc. which makes Absolute Head Lice Cure.
Although that may sound very fancy we are actually just a "mom and pop" type of operation. We do all of the work out of our home and garage including all of the orders and paperwork and building of the lice kits right here.
We are not a huge multinational corporation we are just a family that has invented something out of desperation and found out that a lot of people need it as did we.
My mother-in-law and father-in-law help us out quite a bit. They are both retired and want to do things to help out us "kids". So my father-in-law fills the bottles with a solution and puts the labels on them. He and my mother-in-law also help us out by taking the truck and going up to get the 55 gallon drums of raw materials that we need (the people at the warehouse load it for them). They also go up (to Chicago) and get the cases of plastic bottles for us. My wife gathers the orders every night and prints them out for me. I do everything else...which includes unloading the 55 gallon drums, finances, ordering, gathering the raw ingredients and "cooking", mixing and putting together the solution, work on the webpage, try to answer all the questions and e-mails we get, etc. I gather the bottles that have been made and packaged them into boxes for delivery. It takes a lot of time for all of us. So, between the four of us we do all the work around here.
We strive to be as ethically correct as possible. This business does not make tons of money although it has the potential to. The reason you don't see our product in major stores is because of what we would have to sacrifice ethically to make that happen. Frankly, it is much easier, cheaper, and far more profitable to put a carcinogenic pesticide in a small bottle and get it on the shelf of a major store. Personally, I couldn't sleep night if I knew I were doing unethical things like that. Many people in business can... I cannot. So, if that means we will not be a huge multinational conglomerate making millions of dollars then so be it. I am not an angel but I am certainly not going to put cancer-causing chemicals on children's heads.
What it would take for us to grow is an infusion of capital (money). Now if somebody puts a lot of money into this company: they expect to have some say in it. Which is fair. However what if all of a sudden they want to do things which are unethical? Unfortunately in big business you have to do some unethical things. So, I would rather us stay small and ethical rather than large and unethical.
We live in a town called Valparaiso in Indiana which is just south of Lake Michigan. We are pretty close to Chicago.
We have a golden retriever named Maggie. We also have a cat named Hobbes. And about a year ago we rescued a guinea pig that could no longer be cared for. I have a lot of dandelions in my yard so it works out perfectly because he (is named Sneakers) loves them.
take care,

Three weeks ago, it seemed as though the Miami Dolphins were done in the AFC East after starting 1-3 under Joe Philbin. Interim head coach Dan Campbell has quickly changed this team in just two games and given the Dolphins hope for the rest of the season.
However, their biggest test comes in the form of the New England Patriots, whom they're playing on a short week. The Patriots are looking to stay undefeated, while the Dolphins hope to get above .500 for the first time since starting 1-0.
More from FoxSports
Here are three keys to the game for both the Dolphins and the Patriots.
Can you beat the Crowd's Line? Submit your final score prediction below. Good luck!
1. Keep feeding Lamar Miller the ball
Since Dan Campbell took over as interim head coach, the Dolphins have done plenty of things well. However, the most important change has been the consistent number of touches for Miller. Last week against the Houston Texans, Miller had 17 touches for 236 yards from scrimmage in the Dolphins' record-setting first half. He's eclipsed 100 yards rushing in the past two weeks, and there's no reason to stop feeding him the ball now.
2. Get hits on Tom Brady
Not much has proven to be effective in stopping Brady this season, as he's in the midst of one of the best seasons of his career. If there is one thing that the Dolphins can do to slow the future Hall of Famer, though, it's getting hits on him early. The Dallas Cowboys were able to do it in their meeting with Brady, and Ndamukong Suh, Cameron Wake, and Olivier Vernon need to do the same. If they can make him uncomfortable, it will throw off his rhythm and benefit Miami greatly.
3. Chip Rob Gronkowski at the line of scrimmage
After having two relatively pedestrian games by his standards, Gronkowski erupted against the New York Jets for 11 catches, 108 yards, and one touchdown. The Jets have one of the best defenses in the NFL and were unable to slow him down, which shows just how tough it will be for Miami's secondary and linebacker corps. The Dolphins need to chip him at the line of scrimmage to knock him off his route in order to disrupt his timing with Brady.
1. Run the ball more than last week
Against the New York Jets Jets, Patriots running backs ran the ball just five times for one yard. Incredibly, Brady led the team in rushing (15 yards) for the first time in his career, but the Patriots can't let that happen again. LeGarrette Blount had topped 70 yards in each of the previous three games, but he and James White were essentially nonexistent against the Jets. The Dolphins' 30th-ranked run defense shouldn't be much of a problem for the Patriots' rushing attack, if they choose to run the ball.
2. Shadow Jarvis Landry with Malcolm Butler
Butler is the team's best cornerback and should line up against Landry throughout the game, given his track record of being a consistent playmaker for the Dolphins. Butler struggled against the bigger Eric Decker last week, but Landry's skill set should prove to be less of an issue for the second-year cornerback. Landry is the most dangerous wideout for the Dolphins and has the ability to change the game every time he touches the ball.
3. Slow down Lamar Miller
Miller is on a tear of late and has changed the Dolphins' offense with his ability to run the ball successfully. In the two games since Campbell took over, Miller has 354 yards from scrimmage, and he didn't even touch the ball in the second half last week. The Patriots need to slow down Miller and not allow him to beat them on the ground, which is where they've struggled on defense this season.

It is not uncommon for a lawn to become burned in areas because of excessive pet urination or chemical application. The process of repairing the lawn requires more than just sprinkling some seed on the area. Lawns grow and establish quickly when the soil is prepared and seeded in the spring and fall seasons or sod is installed any month during the growing season as long as the proper amount of water is applied.
Reseed Burned Lawn
Mow the lawn to a height of 1 1/2 to 2 inches to remove tall and excess grass surrounding the burned area.
Rake the burned area to completely remove dead vegetation so you can visibly see the soil surface. Loosen the soil with a garden rake, hoe or shovel and then smooth with a leaf rake.
Fill in any low spots with topsoil. Firm the soil area by packing it with a backside of a shovel or renting a lawn roller for large areas.
Spread grass seed over the prepared soil areas by sprinkling with your hand for small areas or using a rolling lawn seeder for large areas. A lawn seeder will ensure a uniform application of seed.
Cover the seeded area with straw mulch to prevent seed loss to birds or water runoff. Water the seeded area well after planting and continue to water daily to keep the soil moist until the lawn areas are established.
Repair with Sod
Remove dead vegetation from the burned lawn areas to the soil level. Loosen the soil with a garden rake, hoe or shovel, then smooth the area with a rake. Add topsoil to low spots if needed.
Outline the burned area with chalk lines to create straight lines around the area needing new grass. Remove all vegetation inside the lines to allow for easy sod application. Smooth the entire area of soil with a rake and gently roll with a lawn roller to pack the soil in place.
Purchase fresh sod and install immediately for best results. Water the lawn soil and lay the sod onto the soil, placing each section tightly against the other without overlapping.
Roll the newly laid lawn with a lawn roller half-filled water. This will push the sod roots into the soil to initiate growth.
Water the sod immediately so the soil underneath is wet but not saturated with water. Continue to water the sod daily for the first two weeks to stimulate strong root growth.

It's unsurprising to hear that Nike has put out a new shoe, or some fancy new material for shoe making. But whats even more exciting than that is when Nike takes that next big step and straight up changes the Paradigm of how we, as a culture, think about shoes, and moreover, fitness apparel.
I've previously read that internally, Nike has a challenge to switch Paradigms like this every 10 years. You saw it with their Nike+ technology, and the integration of iPods directly into their product lines. They've done this time and time again, sometimes with amazingly powerful results, and sometimes to little fanfare and a sullen disappearance.
But this time, Nike has outdone itself – which is no small feat in and of itself.

Maybe I should just send the bill to the guy on the other team that felt like tackling me was the best option in order to get the soccer ball in an adult recreational league.
I digress.
The last time I had surgery was a c-section for my kiddo. One day I'll tell you allll about that noise, how I was in labor for 22 hours and pushed and pushed and just couldn't get anywhere so eventually had to have him cut out, but that day isn't today. My point is, the last time I had surgery I was married and I had someone to help me with general life stuff.
In case you're a little new: They're repairing my fully torn ACL (tore it a couple of weeks ago playing soccer) with a tendon from a cadaver. I cannot get over how cool that is. (Man, I shoulda been a scientist.)
I'll also have pins in my knee that will eventually dissolve. I'll have the pleasure of crutching around with a full leg immobilizer brace for a month, then two months in a slightly less cumbersome brace. How am I going to get up the stairs? Cook? Shower? Be mom to a two year old? I don't know, I just will. I have to.
I DO know that I have the greatest friends, family and coworkers in the world that have every meal covered for me from today through Saturday. Seriously, how did I get so lucky to have this many good people in my life?
I'm one lucky gimp.
So now I'm laid up for a few days. Who wants to come over and watch superhero movies with me?

I have linked in other Alternative Media below as many Main Stream Media outlets be them TV, Internet or Newspapers have stepped right over this story of love and caring from American Muslims. Also below are Tweets from all over the World regarding a normal story in my World, a normal story in most of the World, people being nice and helpful to people who are struggling to live. Flint Michigan USA water source has become contaminated with toxic lead chemicals due to old equipment. The local's don't trust the water supply so up stepped help groups and a few famous people as the Government do very little as always in our World in many places. In a MOMENT people who still think ALL Muslims are ISIS will not want to believe this, Donald Trump fans will not be shown this by their news either. In my Culture Muslims play a big part, and also in the USA Muslims play a HUGE part of the US culture and many American's don't understand there are VERY famous USA Muslims in Movies, TV and Music. I did a blog after trying to debate with American's who are scared of every Muslim. 1.5 Billion Muslim's are on this Earth, more than Christians or Catholics, the hate part of Islam is no different from the likes of Westboro Baptist Church in the USA where people around the World do judge American Christianity through the actions of Westboro Baptist Racist Cult, also the Catholic Protestant issues in my country Scotland, but as we are so small the story is only visible should you live here, tourists don't see it, same as tourists to Disney World in South East USA. Knowing and understanding TRUTH will ALWAYS let you know the full story, open minds ONLY apply here. Blog below was just out of confusion as many Americans all over Social Media buy into Donald Trumps VERY DANGEROUS remarks about Islam. Look back and KNOW history and what Hitler told German people about Jews and we see the story clearer here, make no mistake, it's the Gods honest same thing. Today there is no excuse with Alternative media like myself and millions others, back in WWII there was hardly phones, never mind quick free access to the truth to any story. People should know better these days but a blocked and blinded mind won't go past it due to fear. I wrote about USA Fear also:

Since it emerged that the city of Flint in Michigan water has become contaminated with toxic lead chemical, the city has been facing water crisis. Residents no longer trust the safeness of running water in the city, making potable drinking water very scarce for residents in the city. There have been many protests in the city by residents, calling for some authorities in the city and the state to resign due to the poor nature of how they have handled, and still handling the situation.
According to residents, despite the overwhelming evidence that their water has been contaminated with lead, city and state authorities continued to urge them that there was nothing wrong with it. Flint's water became contaminated after a change in supplier in 2014. The city switched from the Detroit water system to the Flint River. Corrosive water leached lead from old pipes into the water supply. Residents are demanding that the state's governor, Rick Snyder, be arrested and prosecuted for his handling of the crisis. Governor Snyder had requested $31m from the federal government. He said the need in the city (population of almost 100,000) far exceeds the state's capability, and sought a disaster declaration.
According to the local media, President Obama denied the request because such declarations are only made for natural disasters. President Barack Obama has since declared a state of emergency in the city. Due to the dire situation on the ground in Flint, people far and near Michigan are doing what they can to help residents. Non-profit organizations, benevolent individuals, volunteers, and even religious organizations are doing the little they can to help solve the crisis.
The American singer and actress, Cher announced that she would donate some 180,000 bottle of water to Flint residents to help alleviate the suffering they are going through. The water will be arriving at the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan, and it will then be distributed to low income earners in the city. It is said after resident have used the water, the empty bottles will be returned to the food bank to be recycled, with all proceeds going to charity.
Before this announcement by Cher, a non-profit organization called Communities First has sent volunteers to Flint to help. The volunteers went door-to-door, delivering and installing 2,000 water filters at every affordable housing development in Flint. The volunteers also made sure that residents had the support they needed.
Apart from this help residents of Flint are getting from Communities First, other small charity organizations are also helping to solve the water situation in the city. Some Muslim groups have also joined the helping spree, becoming the latest to provide clean water to residents of Flint. Two Muslim charities have delivered nearly 8,200 gallons of water to residents recently.
The Michigan chapter of Who is Hussain, a Muslim group, delivered about 30,000 bottles of water to the American Red Cross on January 17 to be distributed to residents of Flint. The Washington Timesreports that Who is Hussain donated the water as part of the group's religious obligations.
Who is Hussain inspired by the story of an early Islamic leader, Imam Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic Prophet, Muhammad. It is said Hussain ibn Ali complained early on about growing violence and extremism in the Muslim community. But HE was brutally killed after being denied water for several days. Adherents of Hussain's teachings therefore believe that the denial of water under any circumstances is a brutal crime. It is said the group actively promote water distribution campaigns on a regular basis.
A local filmmaker and volunteer for the group, Mohammed Almawla said "Prophet Mohammed taught us 'Your neighbor comes before your own household.' As a resident of Detroit this is not only a Flint problem this is a Michigan problem and I feel obligated to help to the best of my ability."
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association also delivered another 1,000 bottles to FBEM in addition to what Who is Hussain group has donated. However, this is not the first time the Ahmadiyya Youth is doing such a thing. Last year, the group helped feed more than 180,000 people and donated more than 5,000 pints of blood across its 70 chapters in the Unites States.

What do you remember? (French Fridays with Dorie: Asparagus Soup)
Roasted with balsamic and olive oil.
Wrapped in bacon and grilled.
In a salad.
With bits of pancetta sprinkled on top.
Stuffed inside of brioche.
This week's asparagus soup was a nice complement to the Tuesdays with Dorie assignment Savory Brioche Pockets - the pockets used the tips of the asparagus; the rest of the asparagus was used to make a half batch of soup. Waste not, want not - right?
I didn't totally follow the recipe (I know, try to contain your shock) - leeks and shallots were sauteed together until they started to turn golden. I (heart) leeks - throw them in anything and I am happy. Asparagus bottoms, water and seasonings were added in. Everything was simmered together and then pureed just before serving.
To serve it, I ladled into small cups from a tea service that I brought back from China. A swirl of creme fraiche was stirred in at the last minute. Simple, earthy, good.
On the book front, it's been a busy couple of weeks: After a couple of months on the library wait list, I finally was able to check out Gone Girl (Gillian Flynn) - weird, but liked it. Listened to Where'd You Go, Bernadette (Maria Semple) on audiobook - it was good, but I am not sure how I felt about the narrator; I haven't decided if I like audiobooks or not.... I am in the middle of Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant (Anne Tyler) - an okay read, but a little bit slow going. I also read A Week in Winter (Maeve Binchy) - it was a quick read; I liked it, but wanted the ending to be better developed.
Up next: And the Mountains Echoed (Khaled Hosseini) and Inferno (Dan Brown).
In other news, Runner Girl is back home for the summer. Culinary Kid is finishing up her school year. And I need a nap...
Peace out.
This post participates in French Fridays with Dorie.

THE SCHOONER THORNTON A TOTAL LOSS. - By the arrival of the propeller Arctic from Lake Superior, information is received of the loss of the schooner Thornton in Lake Huron, about fifteen miles from False Detour, off the foot of Cockburn Island. Capt. Lamphere, of the Thornton, gives the following particulars: His vessel sprung a leak on Friday, the 26th, and for two hours the crew labored to keep her free, and to lighten her by throwing over the deck load. Their efforts were unsuccessful, and the effects of the men were put in the yawl boat. They then abandoned the vessel. In a few moments she sank, going down by the head. The compressed air burst her decks up, and broke her completely into fragments. Her mainmast shot up quite a distance in the air, and the water for some distance was strewn with the pieces. Part of the keel came to the surface, and the foremast came up heel first, the rigging holding the balance to the forecastle, the only part of the vessel of which no fragments were found. The charts give fifty fathoms of water where she sank. Capt. Lamphere and crew landed on Drummond Island, camped out for the night, and on Saturday reached Detour, from which place they were bound here on the Arctic and took the Rice for Cleveland. The Thornton rated B1, was owned by Palmer and Pennington of Cleveland, and loaded at Marquette with 453 tons of ore consigned to Messrs. H. B. Tuttle & Co., Cleveland.
Same column, further down:
The prop Arctic brought down 310 tons copper, 410 tons pig iron, 50 tons of sundries and 30 passengers. Among the passengers were the captain and crew of the schooneer Thornton, which sunk about fifteen miles below False Detour on the afternoon of the 26th inst. She was bound down, loaded with ore. The vessel and cargo are a total loss.

During the past six months, much has been written about the unprecedented increase of Sri Lankan emigration to Australia by sea. Media outlets the world over have scrambled to explain how the number of Sri Lankans 'illegally' migrating to Australia went from around 200 in 2011, to just under 6,500 in 2012. Far from providing a logical analysis, newspapers instead offered a frustrating mish-mash of government propaganda and refugee advocacy that left many questions unanswered. If, as both the Sri Lankan and Australian governments proposed, the reason for the explosion in Sri Lankan emigration was largely economic, why didn't these poor Sri Lankans decide to come to Australia before 2012? No one has bothered to answer this crucial question. Considering the recent arrival of a further 66 Sri Lankans on April 18 and the subsequent decision by the Australian government to send 38 of these back to their homeland – bringing the total number of Sri Lankans returned from Australia to over 1000 – an objective analysis is more pressing than ever.
The first mistake made by both sides during this debate is refusing to acknowledge the complexity of what is happening in Lanka. As refugee activists and government ministers stubbornly refuse to acknowledge each other's arguments, two opposing camps have emerged – those that consider the Sri Lankans arriving in Australia as 'economic migrants', and those that consider them 'political migrants'. However, if either side looked at the evidence they would see that the rise in Lankan migration to Australia is a combination of both these economic and political factors.
The Political Factors
While the Australian and Sri Lankan governments categorically deny that Tamils are subjected to any systematic persecution in their homeland, the fact remains that in 2012 eighty per cent of the Sri Lankan arrivals were Tamil. This creates a problem for the official government position – if, as the government suggest, the reasons behind the increase of Sri Lankan migration were primarily 'economic', wouldn't there be a relatively even spread of ethnicities arriving in Australia? Let's examine the Tamil question more closely.
There are three key political factors that help us understand why so many Tamils left Sri Lanka in 2012.
Firstly, the continued military presence in the Northern and Eastern provinces has led to thousands of displaced Sri Lankan Tamils unable to return home. According to a December 2012 report by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the military occupation in the North and East – comprising 16 of 19 Sri Lankan Army divisions – has resulted in the continued displacement of around 93,000 Tamils. Although the last of the Internally Displaced People (IDP) Camps closed in September 2012 – which at their peak 'accommodated' around 300,000 Tamils – the continued military occupation has made it difficult for some IDP's to return home. Unfortunately for Tamils in the North, the Sri Lankan Army's occupation is far from a short-term affair – the Army has usurped civil administration (including schools, urban development and land reclamation) and even businesses. In the northern city of Vavuniya, for example, the ratio of soldiers to citizens is equal. The continued military presence in the North has also coincided with the introduction of more Sinhala culture to the north, such as the he erection of 28 Buddha statues on the A9 highway to Jaffna.
Secondly, the Rajapaksa government ruthlessly represses those who speak out against it, particularly those suspected of links to the now defeated Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The two recent attacks on the 'Uthayan' newspaper in the northern cities of Kilinochchi and Jaffna, which set fire to the printing machinery and sent two employees to the intensive care unit, is one of many instances of Tamil oppression linked to the Rajapaksa government. From October 2011 to 9 July 2012, there were 77 media reports of abductions and disappearances, 21 of which occurred in northern areas. And these are only the cases the media reported! Out of these cases, five abductees publicly accused the government for abducting them. In response, on 30 August 2012 – the International Day of the Disappeared – around 500 brave families gathered in the northern town of Vavuniya to protest the disappearance of their loved ones. Revealingly, 80% of the Sri Lankan migration to Australia in 2012 occurred during the second half of the year.
The third and final cause of increased Tamil migration is the growing presence of people smuggling syndicates. Despite the fact that in 2012 Australia granted only 512 Sri Lankan emigrants refugee status – or 12% of the total number of migrants – people smugglers still managed to convince many desperate Sri Lankans that for a fee of up to $US 10,000 they would be able to live and work in Australia. Unsurprisingly, the Sri Lankan Navy has been accused by Tamil politicians, non-governmental organisations, returned asylum seekers and even Australian government intelligence of being complicit in the people smuggling trade.
The Economic Factors
It is important to remember that Tamils, just like any other group of people, are divided into class – rich and poor, worker and bourgeois. It is therefore a mistake to view them as one single entity acting with a united interest. Clearly, the reaction of a wealthy Tamil to the situation in Lanka would be far different to the reaction of a poor Tamil. For example, it is unlikely that a wealthy bourgeois Tamil would speak-out against a government they have thrived under. Furthermore, poor Tamils are much more likely that rich Tamils to become 'displaced', as they lack the money necessary to buy new property. While refugee activists consider the migration problem as a direct result of the political persecution of Tamils in Lanka, this outlook ignores the harsh economic reality that got certain Tamils into vulnerable positions in the first place.
American author Charles Bukowski once wrote, "No one suffers like the poor suffer". This is definitely true in Lanka. Since the end of the civil war in 2009, the lives of poor Tamils in Lanka have been hard. An August 2012 report found that in the northern Vanni area, most Tamils were still living in tents provided to them by United Nations after the civil war ended. Additionally, as many poor Tamils in the North do not have secure employment, they are forced to get into debt or go days without food. Faced with the unrelenting oppression of the Sri Lankan capitalist system – in addition to the military rule of the Rajapaksa regime – it becomes clear why 5,215 Tamils and around 1,000 Sinhalese jumped at the opportunity to go to Australia in 2012.
The increased migration to Australia in 2012 reflects a growing trend across all of Sri Lanka. Between 2006 and 2011, there was a 25% increase of Sri Lankans legally emigrating to find foreign employment. In the North the rates are even higher – for example in Jaffna, during 2011 just over 5% of the population left to work overseas, double that of Colombo. Even the notoriously understated Sri Lankan unemployment statistics rose from 4.2% in 2011 to 5.2% in 2012. This rising unemployment, in conjunction with the rising levels of Sri Lankans leaving the country for work – 262,960 in 2011 – shows that Sri Lankan capitalism is failing. And as always, it is the working masses who feel the sting of capitalism the most, Sinhala, Muslim and Tamil alike. When confronted with this harsh economic reality, in combination with the military occupation and the 'disappearing' squads that operate throughout the country, it is unsurprising that Tamils – and to a lesser extent, the Sinhalese – are willing to brave three weeks on the open sea for a chance at a normal life. Under the banner of the Movement for Equal Rights, we at the Front Line Socialist Party are committed to the struggle against the military rule, and seek to unite all oppressed Sinhala, Tamil and Muslim people against the destructive capitalist forces freely operating in Lanka today.

November 22, 2011: Application delivery and security specialist Radware is announcing the next step in its Virtual Application Delivery Infrastructure (VADI) strategy, including new application delivery controller (ADC) platforms, enhanced data center management and orchestration interoperability, hypervisor support, and new AppShape technology to provide "the industry's first application delivery fabric." The company says its ADC Fabric breaks new ground in virtualized application delivery by leveraging the concept of a virtual ADC (vADC) resource pool across both single and multiple data centers, transforming physical ADCs from "units" or devices into services, regardless of the underlying computing resources.
This translates in increased agility and simplified operations, and also overcomes the traditionally limited model of requiring two identical ADC appliances for redundancy, by supporting cross-ADC form factor redundant pairs for unlimited scalability and high resiliency. Radware unveiled its VADI Strategy a year ago to bring agility and efficiency of virtualization to application delivery solutions. The architecture transforms computing resources, as well as application delivery and virtualization services, into one integrated infrastructure designed to bridge the gap across underlying hardware resources and serve the various application needs in terms of SLA and performance predictability while delivering maximal agility to application delivery services.

What evidence do we have that "good" carbs are good? Every single long-term prospective cohort study ever performed on the foods that the Atkins Diet restrictsfruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grainsshow that they protect people from the nations biggest killer: heart disease.[466] Harvard studied 75,000 women for a decade and the results suggest that the more whole grains people eatlike brown rice and whole wheat breadthe lower their risk of having a heart attack.[467] Harvard studied 40,000 men for a decade and suggested that eating whole grains may cut ones risk of developing diabetes by more than half.[468] The only thing wrong with whole grains, perhaps, is that they may not sell as many books.
Atkins seemed to think that fruit was the worst thing since sliced bread. Fruit consumption alone, however, has been linked to lower rates of numerous cancers[469] and may reduce heart disease mortality, cancer and even total mortality.[470] The World Health Organization blames low fruit and vegetable consumption on literally millions of deaths worldwide.[471] Everyone should eat more fruits and vegetables as if their lives depended on it.
The National Cancer Institutes recommendation is now up to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day. While Atkins preached to restrict fruit and vegetable intake, what Americans really need is more fruits and veggies, not less.[472]

the real me: part 2
Because I'm at a loss for words. . . and last night my parenting skills were questionable (at best). . .and I have looked at my blog with little/no inspiration. . . and I get stuck in my work. . .I thought I would share this quote:
"I have come to a frightening conclusion
That I am the decisive element in the home.
It's my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a parent, I possess a tremendous
Power to make a child's life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides
Whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated
And a child humanized or dehumanized."
Taken from Between Parent & Child by Dr. Haim Ginott.
Mother's day was hard this year – my mom is alone in Atlanta & my Mother-in-law was without her own mother for the first time "in as long as I can remember". They both deserve so much & it is hard to fill a void, whether in distance or in presence. We tried.
While it was hard, it was also sweet. There is healing and there is encouargement.
Through all of it I sit in the muddy waters of my own parenting and wonder what it will look like in 20 more years. Looking at the above quote reminds me of who sets the tone & how my response sets the tone in each child's life.
I'm going to choose inspiration.
Running has taken a back-seat to all of the end of the year activities & appointments. Have run twice in the last week (busy – running = crazy mom!!) and can feel the progress slipping away. Time to set some goals for the summer and run toward them!
Run on Friends! 🙂
Jana permalinkMay 11, 2010 12:59 pm
Wow. That quote is so amazing it hurts. You helped make my Mother's Day worthwhile, friend. Thank you a million times over! 🙂
May 11, 2010 4:42 pm
Great great quote and a good reminder. We forget how much influence, good and bad, we have over our kids.
May 11, 2010 9:09 pm
Wow…when you put it like that…ugh! Sometimes it is all so hard but we manage and most of our own parents would say they have pretty good memories of us as kids so let's hold out hope that are bad days will all be long forgotten. Happy Mother's Day!

Melody is one of the best massage therapists that I have ever gone to! She works such instinctive levels of magic into a massage. Not only did she make me feel extremely comfortable and cared for, she also left me feeling extremely relaxed and rejuvenated. I would highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for the best! I will definitely be back!

About Color Fun Fest
If the Color Fun Fest 5K & Carnival were televised, it might have viewers wondering if someone had messed with their TVs' color settings. That's because, at 1-kilometer intervals across the race course, staffers shower runners with neon powders, transforming them into a kind of collective stampeding rainbow, which is illuminated by powerful black lights during night waves. But participants won't find a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow or, for that matter, a podium: the 5K run is noncompetitive and doesn't track times. Instead, they'll step into a lively finish-line festival—with music during the run, vendors, and a DJ-led after party—where colors fly through the air and stopwatches are smashed like piñatas.
Runners get showered with over 10,000 pounds of color as they navigate a 1.8-mile course. They can run up to three times on two different courses on the same day for runners who prefer the day or night. After the run, participants can enjoy carnival attractions and high-energy EDM music, jugglers, face painters, balloons, carnival games, LED hoopers, and the famous Inflatable Village. All the proceeds from the carnival attractions benefit the nonprofit Just Care More foundation, which is committed to providing underprivileged kids a life-altering summer-camp experience.

I haven't been home the last few evenings to cook, so I haven't posted any recipes. I apologize.
Also we've been busy prepping for a family first – hosting a garage sale. While I've been known to buy other people's crap, I've never been on the purveying end of a garage sale.
To be honest I've always enjoyed going to garage sales. There's something thrilling and intoxicating about driving around and shopping at garage sales. This thrill is tied to the possibility that I might stumble upon some amazing treasure. It's probably similar to the rush some feel when they visit a casino or purchase a lottery ticket. Only I'm risking very little and my odds are better.
Today I restrain my urge to horde junk, but occasionally I fail. I've been known to sneak out in the cover of night, so I can seize my neighbors' junk that has been placed curbside for trash collection. My wife frowns upon this practice. Occasionally I commandeer something with the intention of creating a work of art like a mosaic or garden sculpture. I do this despite having little artistic ability. I'm a man who believes nothing is disposable and whose vision exceeds his talent.
Keep it real,
PS. . . I've decided to not sell the Cuisinart Ice Cream/Sorbet/Yogurt Maker

does anyone notice once the sun comes out the house looks in bits. Every mark shows up everywhere looks like it needs painting!!
Think a good spring clean is in order!
So did everyone get clean.
Mine looks absolutely manky at the moment and it's raining!!
yep mostly skin - but if you leave your windows open a lot, its also dirt from the outside :-)
skin yuck!!! We're getting new fitted wardbobes tomorrow so the place will be in bits afterwards. Itll need a good scrub. I now understand why people do a "spring clean"
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
As I seem to practically live in the kitchen only I thought my house looked beautiful today. I actually repainted the kitchen presses/doors/skirtings last week. All white and it looks sparkling on this lovely sunny day :)
All's good once I don't leave the kitchen, the other side of the kitchen door that opens into the hall wasn't painted as it would show up all the doors in the hall, that's for another wet day.
I don't notice the difference, maybe it's the way my house is situated, it's not a very sunny house. Well the siting room is and that's always the cleanest room in my house so maybe that's why I noticed. I notice my garden. Today while I was hanging out washing I was looking at the grass which I look after a lot, but it's full of weeds and looks awful. From the window on a rainy day it looks lovely. If I had the money I'd buy artificial grass. A neighbour has it and it's beautiful but my garden is too big. Had a long car journey today and I have a thumping headache from driving in the sun.
We just moved into our home at Easter which was fully repainted and deep cleaned yet i can still see the dust but I don't care because the Sun is shinning :) :) .
when its dark and yuk I'm in a bad mood and don't want to do housework. at least in the sun I'm happier and so with more of a spring to my step I get more done. now too hot and I'm really moody - I don't do heat I have learnt in the last few years. hope it stays nice till the weekend so I can do some cleaning in between activities
Gettingwed I was just thinking the same myself.l couldn't believe the comments you got the other day and then over your comment here jesus put you off posting here . know exactly what you ment my windows look filty when the sun shine on them as for the dust where does it come from but I didn't think for one minute you were complaining about the sun been out.
I do unlimited and I don't know what Ive done to offend anyone.
Its my windows that I notice.
gettinwed u seem to be getting it in the neck alright.
i know exactly what you mean ... where the sun streams in across the floor i see dust and dust and more dust.
Gettinwed; i NO EXACTLY wht u mean,So im out the back trying to mke it look nice..Its suposed to be horrible the wkend...so doin it now
Looooooooooooove the drying
I only meant it in a jokey way. Calm down peeps.
and grand drying out Mary38
no need for nastiness reference reply no 8. yes op I have noticed that too here. Its nice though the stretch in the evenings now. Kids are delighted.
Are you for real???????? Luckyloula
seriously luckyloula????????????
Soooo tempted to say "if you didn't spend every Sunday lazing in PJs and did some DIY the house would look nice".... But I won't!
i always get in the spring cleaning mood when the weather is nice out. I did a bit yesterday while kids in school and a little today. Took kids cycling to the park after homework yesterday and we are heading out in the fields with the dog in a bit just having a snack and doing homework.
Will do more tomorrow if I can get my fuse in my hoover changed as it blow on me yesterday.
more in relation to wicklowgl. Every time I seem to post I seem to get fried with criticism.
why are people so ready to jump! im just saying you notice it more in the sun. Jesus.
Not right this instant maryaw! Just noticing the place needs a sprucing up.

By Derek Bonnett
The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, fast becoming one of boxing's hottest venues, played host to a world class double-header featuring Shawn Porter in the main event against Andre Berto in a twelve round welterweight bout. The two former world champions at welterweight vied for a crack at unified champion Keith Thurman in this title eliminator. In the co-feature, Jermell Charlo put his light middleweight title on the line against, first time world title challenger, Charles Hatley. The live action was aired on Showtime.
Porter, out of the ring for ten months following his narrow points loss to Thurman last June, had much to prove given he has not yet surrendered hopes of becoming the elite talent in the welterweight division. The former champion jumped out to a quick start against the U.S.-born Haitian, landing a quick jab with heavy steam behind it. Porter, 29, used his brawn to muscle Berto around any time the former two-time titlist tried to clinch. Berto, good with the jab as well, doubled up to clip Porter on occasion in a tight first frame. Porter started attacking the body in round two and hardly let up until the finish. The bout remained physical and warranted much interaction from the referee. A clash of heads cut Porter over the left eye. When the action resumed, Porter continued to lay on the pressure and dropped Berto with a clipping right hook in the final seconds of the round. Unwisely and against the wishes of his corner, Berto spent a lot of time on the ropes in rounds three through five. Any time Berto tried to hold, Porter wrestled himself free and tagged the former Haitian Olympian in the torso. In the fourth Berto was also cut by a clash of heads. Berto's best round came in the fifth as he managed to keep his jab busier and found a home for his uppercut.
Berto's counter right scored well in round six, but even his best offensive moments were overshadowed by Porter's busier hands in terms of scoring. Porter's pace increased as he hunted a stoppage. Berto would slip to the canvas in the sixth and appeared wobbly at times in round seven. Porter's jab stung Berto, 33, in the final seconds of the seventh. Porter put in a marvelous display of body work as he bombed Berto's basement for nearly the full three minutes of the round. Berto hit the canvas again in the ninth after a left hook separated him from his equilibrium further. Legs either too tight or too wobbly, Porter battered Berto and had him stumbling along the ropes in need of saving. The referee intervened at the 1:31 mark.
Porter improved his dossier to 27-2-1 (17). Cut over both eyes from clashes of heads, Porter now eyes a rematch with Thurman later this year possibly. Berto, disappointed in defeat, eyes retirement from the sport which treated him well and to which he gave every ounce of courage. Berto fell to 31-5-0 (24).

As you may know, the Town of West Hartford delayed mailing the motor vehicle bills due to the uncertainty concerning possible legislation which could result in a change to the uniform state-wide motor vehicle mill rate.
Unfortunately, the State budget is still uncertain and the Town can no longer postpone the issuance of motor vehicle tax bills.
Motor vehicle tax bills are based on the current State legislation of 32 mills. Should this change when the final State budget is adopted, it may be necessary to adjust the tax levy and issue a supplemental tax bill at a later date.
As soon as any new information is available, the Town will be posted it on the West Hartford home page, www.westhartfordct.gov. Residents may also call the West Hartford Tax Office at (860) 561-7474 x4 for more information.
Motor vehicle tax bills are due November 1, 2017. The last day to pay without penalty is Friday, December 1, 2017.
The tax office will be open on Friday, December 1st from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding the timing of this bill.

The Pretty Little Things Publishing House
To them, you don't belong. To them, you don't fit in. To them, well, they don't even care about you enough to decide what they think.
We all know what that's like.
They're wrong, though. You don't belong, you don't fit in--that enough is true. But, you won't need to fit in when you realize what you were destined to do. You won't need them. What you will need is us. The other Heirborn. The other people who have never belonged until now.
That feeling...where you know what you were born to do and you know that it's your destiny--will always be pushed away by others, others who try to bring you down. You can stand up to these dimwits, or you can back away and ignore your own future. You can confess now. You are an Heirborn. You know what you were born to do, and no one can kill that belief.

A local builder says that in renovation jobs, the ``might as well do its'' are the budget busters. He was talking about the tendency to add unplanned work to a project because it would be easier than going back later. Renovations at Middletown High School have led to the temporary removal of large portions of dropped ceilings and brought up a ``might as well do it'' that should be done.
When the renovations were designed, no plan was made to install wiring to link computers and make other electronic improvements. In modern schools, this is a critical oversight. Computers are being worked into the curriculum and students will need easy access to machines for everything from writing to doing library research. Putting in the wires while the ceilings are down will be easier and less expensive than going back later.

The Show Title is is required.
I host a weekly interview program "Universal Grapevine" on KZSC.fm. Topics include local politics, performance art, area history, theatre, opera, many authors...and all live in studio. I've many decades of both community and commercial radio experience.
Michael Burman was born a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. His early life was totally uneventful and, by the standards of his planet, quite normal. This all ended, however, when, via a freak of inter-galactic interference, he heard Johnny Hodges playing "Things Ain't What They Used to Be", broadcast across inter-stellar space.
Indeed, things were no longer to be what they used to be. He lost no time in boarding the next spaceship for Earth, and, throughout the long journey, studied the English-language instructional recordings which he had ordered from Amazing's Next-Light-Day delivery. These included such useful phrases as "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" and "Bird lives!" He wasn't to know, however, that the recordings had been made by the BBC, with the result that he speaks with a British accent: please don't hold this against him.

In 1984 Pasatieri moved to Hollywood, and developed a lucrative career as an orchestrator of filmscores. Among his many orchestrations are The Shawshank Redemption, The Little Mermaid, and Road to Perdition. Then, in 2003 he returned to the East Coast and resumed his career as an opera composer. As of now he has 23 operas to his credit, six of them composed since his return to New York. In recent years he has also turned his attention to orchestral and chamber music as well.Pasatieri has based many of his operas on well-known literary works with intensely dramatic situations. His musical language continues to fall into the "20th-century verismo" style of American neo-romanticism. His work is highly lyrical, with melodies that remain in one's memory—a rare accomplishment among contemporary composers. Among Pasatieri's finest operas are Washington Square, The Seagull, and Black Widow.

Corporate Profile
& Policy
3M Pakistan
The spirit of innovation and commitment.
By SHABBIR H. KAZMI
Oct 15 - 21, 2001
During the year 2000, 3M achieved record sales, net
income and earnings per share. The unique product and globally diversity
gave the Corporation the strength to post solid results despite
difficult economic trends in the United States and negative currency
impact. Sales volume grew more than 15 per cent, and profit margins
exceeded 21 per cent. Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America all
achieved double-digit growth.
Sales growth was particularly strong in 3M business
that serve fast-growing, high-tech markets, such as electronics,
telecommunications and optical systems. Dynamic, high-growth markets
currently account for a quarter of 3M's sales. During the year 2000, the
Company experienced one of the highest levels of innovation in its
history, generating US$ 5.6 billion — nearly 35 per cent of total
sales — from products introduced during the past four years, with over
US$ 1.5 billion of sales coming from products introduced in year 2000.
Despite, the slowing of the US economy and uncertain
economic conditions abroad, the management and thousands of excellent
people worldwide are committed to delivering yet improved results. To
meet this goal in a challenging global economy aims at optimizing cost
and sharpen its competitive edge. At the same time, 3M's potential to
build on its uniquely strong base is enormous. each of the following
represents a multibillion opportunity over the few years:
Geographic Penetration: Simply maintaining its
current rate of improvement in market penetration internationally, the
Company has the potential to add US$ 4 billion to the top line,
Innovative/New Markets: 3M's distinguishing
strength is its entrepreneurial drive to transform three dozen
technology platforms into a constant new-product flow, providing new
solutions for new customers in new markets,
Dynamic Growth Products: Fast growing markets
like health care, telecommunications and electronics represent another
multibillion dollar opportunity. Products families like immune response
modifiers, interconnected systems and filtration products exhibit even
greater potential than first envisioned,
Acquisitions: The Company aims at aggressive
acquisition to accelerate expansion into high-growth markets, and
leverage its global reach and capabilities.
Today, 3M's brand portfolio is flourishing, a result
of both the creation of new brands and the renewal and extension of
time-tested brands. The Scotch brand, introduced 75 years ago as
masking tape has evolved through countless innovations. Similarly the Scotch-Brite
continues its household recognition through cleaning products.
Another 3M veteran, the 20-year old Post-it brand has grown from
yellow notepads to a myriad of products — all of which provide fast,
friendly tools for communication and organization.
The Company has identified 21 potential strategic
brands, consisting of both established and newer brands. Each is
supported by a rich base of science and technology, and being developed
at a quickened pace. Some of the promising new brands are Vikuti
Display Enhancement, Volition Fiber Optic Network Solutions, Command
Adhesive and Nexcare First-Aid Products.
3M established its corporate office in Pakistan in
1995 with a specific attention on medical consumables with proper
clinical back-up. This area was often ignored by many multinational
companies as they preferred to market their products through agents. 3M
made specific efforts to educate doctors and para-medical staff by
conducting awareness and training programmes for following procedures
and standards.
The integral parts of this awareness programme are:
1) avoiding post operation infection and creating aseptic environment in
both public and private hospitals. This is to avoid indiscriminate use
of antibiotics which not only adds cost but also results in resistance
even against fourth generation antibiotics.

George Sprott
1894-1975 : A Picture NovellaBook - 2009
First serialized in The New York Times Magazine "Funny Pages"
The celebrated cartoonist and New Yorker illustrator Seth weaves the fictional tale of George Sprott, the host of a long-running television program. The events forming the patchwork of George's life are pieced together from the tenuous memories of several informants, who often have contradictory impressions. His estranged daughter describes the man as an unforgivable lout, whereas his niece remembers him fondly. His former assistant recalls a trip to the Arctic during which George abandoned him for two months, while George himselfremembers that trip as the time he began writing letters to a former love, from whom he never received replies.
Invoking a sense of both memory and its loss, George Sprott is heavy with the charming, melancholic nostalgia that distinguishes Seth's work. Characters lamenting societal progression in general share the pages with images of antiquated objects--proof of events and individuals rarely documented and barely remembered. Likewise, George's own opinions are embedded with regret and a sense of the injustice of aging in this bleak reminder of the inevitable slipping away of lives, along with the fading culture of their days.

Seth and musician/composer Mark Haney have created a theatrical version of the book now playing at Richmond Art Gallery. There are several live versions and an ongoing recorded version runs until 25 June. I highly recommend it.
It's a big book: 37 cm square. You won't be able to put it in an average book bag or backpack. It's worth the trouble: Seth has created a fascinating story of a TV personality, from the early days of the medium in Canada, who slowly fades into obscurity. It's remarkable how his simple drawings can be so evocative.

Sources: New.com.au | All Things Michael
There's a real '80s influence on that song and the album in general — what did that era in music mean to you?
I wasn't around for that era — but looking back on it there was such a feel-good vibe and real instruments. It was when Michael Jackson and Prince were in their prime and they are two of my biggest influences, and so naturally that era has played a big part in my musical journey.
There's definitely a Michael Jackson influence not only in the music — but also in some of your outfits. What did MJ mean to you?
He was my biggest influence and the sole reason I started singing and dancing in the first place. He was the greatest of all time — he's that person you can strive to be close to. He changed the face of music forever and even to be mentioned in the same sentence as someone as talented as him is crazy.

Hispanic NYC was sparked in response to the rapidly growing population of Hispanics and Latinos around New York City. Research suggests that by 2035, Hispanics and Latinos will become the majority race in New York City and that by 2050, the majority race in America. This got us thinking.
When we tried to find online resources for Hispanic culture in NYC the results came back scattered. There wasn't one single website we found that offered a wide array of content that readers like us seek to have.
The solution was to create a platform, where people looking for Hispanic culture could come for reliable and up to date information without having to search a multitude of websites in order to get exactly what they need; Information, News and Culture all in one place. And so, Hispanic NYC was born. Bringing the search for Hispanic culture in NYC to one place.
Our hope is to always be a leading source that delivers top rate Hispanic and Latino content to the greatest city in the world.
As a growing company we realize that we have to continually change with the times and with this understanding we are always open to suggestions for additions and changes to our platform. If you have a great idea you'd like to see on Hispanic NYC please let us know about it. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

By David DeKok
HARRISBURG, Pa. (Reuters) - The former treasurer of Pennsylvania's financially troubled capital city of Harrisburg pleaded guilty on Monday to embezzling from two non-profit groups.
John Campbell, 27, who was elected in 2011 and resigned last year after his arrest, is expected to receive probation at his sentencing on Sept. 15, lawyers for both sides said.
"My office agreed that if he accepted full responsibility, which he did by pleading guilty today, and makes all restitution prior to sentencing, I would not object to probation," said Dauphin County Assistant District Attorney Joel Hogentogler.
The punishment is expected to include a total of $29,000 in restitution, said the prosecutor and Campbell's attorney, Adam Klein. The money will go to Historic Harrisburg Association, where Campbell was executive director for four years and which did business with the city, and Capital Region Stonewall Democrats, where he was treasurer.
Campbell appeared on Monday before Judge Scott Evans in Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas and pleaded guilty to two counts of felony theft and one count of charitable fraud, a misdemeanor. Several other charges were dropped as part of the plea deal.
Prosecutors said Campbell wrote himself checks from the "Lighten Up Harrisburg" account, which collected public donations, including from a 5-K run, to replace burned-out city streetlights and decrepit light poles.
He allegedly used the stolen money to pay medical and student loan debts.
After he was charged with embezzlement, Campbell resigned on Sept. 2, 2014, as Harrisburg city treasurer, a part-time job paying $20,000 a year. A subsequent audit did not find any missing city funds, city officials said.
In 2011, reeling under a mountain of debt tied to renovations of the city trash incinerator, Harrisburg filed for bankruptcy. The filing was later thrown out after the state passed a law making Harrisburg ineligible for bankruptcy.

Anyone who's exercised regularly knows it makes you feel better physically and emotionally. Who cares why? It works. The sense of accomplishment alone is enough to put a spring in your step.
Ahh, but….
What if exercise heads off some terrifying clinical conditions such as stress-induced depression via another mechanism, such as the muscle putting out a substance that affects mood? Or what if it purges muscles of a substance that is known to collect there under stressful conditions, and is ultimately harmful to the brain?
In neurobiological terms, depression is still somewhat unexplained. But a recent study published in Science Daily adds a piece to the puzzle.
The study, which was conducted by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, used mice submitted to a mildly stressful atmosphere over a period of five weeks. After enduring flashing lights, noises, and subtle changes in circadian rhythms (it sounds like they were not technically "tortured"), the normal mice began to show signs of depression, whereas another test group of mice that had been genetically modified to have "fit" muscles remained unaffected. The Institutet reports:
Our initial research hypothesis was that trained muscle would produce a substance with beneficial effects on the brain. We actually found the opposite: well-trained muscle produces an enzyme that purges the body of harmful substances. So in this context the muscle's function is reminiscent of that of the kidney or the liver," says Jorge Ruas, principal investigator at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Karolinska Institutet.
The researchers also found that these modified mice had higher levels of particular enzymes called KAT. These particular enzymes convert a stress-induced substance called kynurenine in to kynurenic acid which is not able to pass from the blood to the brain. Science Daily goes onto explain that,
The exact function of kynurenine is not known, but high levels of kynurenine can be measured in patients with mental illness. In this study, the researchers demonstrated that when normal mice were given kynurenine, they displayed depressive behaviour, while mice with increased levels of PGC-1a1 in muscle were not affected. In fact, these animals never show elevated kynurenine levels in their blood since the KAT enzymes in their well-trained muscles quickly convert it to kynurenic acid, resulting in a protective mechanism."
The implications of this discovery are numerous. In particular it could very well spur a new way of treating depression.

Meeting a centenarian
Just wanted to share an experience I had a few weeks ago. My grandfather turned 90 and we had a party for him. He is a wonderful man, sharp, healthy. He has played a big role in my life and im so lucky to have had him with me all these years. At his party I met a friend of his who I had never met before. Upon meeting him I learned that he was 100! I couldn't believe it! He looked 75 at the Most. He had driven himself to the party and I was told he drives himself everywhere. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this man GLOWED with spirit! I shook his hands, which I noticed were not wrinkled at all. I stood next to him for a long time, just to hear him speak, he was so cheerful, smiling. His eyes sparkled. He was a beautiful person! He had an energy radiating off of him that I wanted to be near. It was a wonderful experience. I was immediately reminded of ET's passage about how some elderly people are filled with spirit and it shines through. It's TRUE! Just wanted to share. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

That's wonderful to hear. I hope you get to visit with him (and your grandfather) for many more years to come.

Now that we are back in the swing of things I started this up again.
Book we read:
This was chosen for us by a librarian a few weeks back when I asked him to pull books with the "winter" theme. I had no idea how much I was going to love this book. It has some great poems that all contain nature facts and why that animal does what it does in the winter. I learned quite a few facts as well.
A great view front he inside of the book. This was Falcon's favorite poem.
An idea struck me! While enjoying our teatime I thought how great this would be to spread the word about Tea on Tuesdays to our friends. So I got on facebook and connected with fellow homeschoolers and brought this idea to them.
Every Tuesday sit down with your kids for Tea, cookies and poetry then mail off a favorite poem or two to your friends and only open it on the following Tuesday during Tea time. I was surprised by the eagerness. Week 1 we sent out 8 letters as we had 8 familes involved.I have a Facebook group of all interested and addresses listed to mail out.
The poem we sent was from the book Winter Bees our family favorite was The Moose
Robin typed out the entire poem herself we mailed it off with a moose track worksheet.
letters ready to go out with all sorts of additional postage! ( bonus math work, we had 44 cent stamps!)
Foods we ate:
Tea we drank:
The kids enjoyed some mint and sassafras tea while I sipped my favorite Vanilla spice blend by Yogi teas.
Brother Raven, Sister Wolf
"You are a Squawker, Croaker,
You are a Slinker, Shadow,
Fearful, and flightly,
you peck and then flee.
Bound to the earth,
you leap, snap, and tumble
Silver winged-Thief,
Yellow -eyed snarler,
Stop Following me!
Stop Following me!
Keep watching our woods
Don't slack off your work,
Keep tracking our dinner
Eyes-of -the- forest
Raven , my Brother
My Sister Wolf"
From the book Winter Bees, this was my favorite as it reminds me of the constant bantering of my children. Who in the end love and look out for each other always. Interesting that Falcon's 2 favorite animals are the raven and the wolf . I never know previous to this that in the winter these 2 animals work together to hunt. (read from the book about the facts on the upper right side!)

Strategy's scope includes project management, engineering, design, construction management, commissioning and start-up of the San Pedro CPF. The sweet oil production facility is being designed for 30,000 bopd and is expected to start up in the third quarter.
"We are assisting Chesapeake with the full field development of their Faith Ranch acquisition, part of the Eagle Ford Shale in Dimmit, Maverick and Webb counties," said Kris Stewart, strategy project manager. "The centrally located oil gathering facility will provide Chesapeake with flexibility to produce the field under a variety of operating scenarios while minimizing production downtime."
