anton2159384wrote a review of Scarpa Spark Shoe - Men's on July 22, 2013
Good light weight hiking shoe
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Fit: True to size
I wore these shoes on a West Coast Trail hike (~50 miles). Quite comfortable, no blisters, which is rare. Lightweight. Good traction. Quick drying, did not acquire any smells despite 4 days in wet and muddy conditions. Not sure about durability, I put them to some abuse and the white stripes and letters lost the white layer, otherwise no damage. I initially ordered a half size too large and then swapped for a smaller pair. So far it seems to be a good choice for my purpose of a lightweight hiking shoe for fast and light backpacking.

How to Say "Yes" When Your Body Says "No"
Are you facing a health challenge?
Are you facing a health challenge?
After learning of a health challenge of any kind, you will likely be barraged with information from doctors and friends, and your own desire to find out more about your situation will also likely compel you to seek out even more. But while you're taking in all that information, it is important for you to consider what you can do to bring yourself into a peaceful frame of mind and get in touch with your Self, your inner wisdom, with Life, so that you will be able to know what to do with all that information.

In his new book How To Say Yes When Your Body Says No, Dr. Lee Jampolsky offers key principles that are based on what he has found bring health and healing to people struggling with even the most catastrophic of situations.

Some of the principles may not make immediate sense, or they may even challenge your present thinking. On the other hand, some of the principles may ring true for you, calling to your inner wisdom. Even if you currently find yourself confused, anxious, and afraid, there is a part of you that is ripe for healing and for growing from what is happening in your life today.

Great TV Wallmount2/27/2015
I am using this wall mount in the bedroom and it works just wonderful. It's solidly made and strong; I'm using it with a 32 inch sharp, but I'm sure it could handle a 40 inch TV without any problems.
Good Item7/4/2013
Product looks sturdy and well made. I have not installed it yet as it is part of an outdoor cabinet that I am building, but just looking and inspecting the product it seem like it should work fine. I will repost if I find something wrong with it
Excellent for the money1/15/2013
I've put these in a number of rooms in my house and have found them to be easy to install and work very well. Construction is plenty strong enough for the 32" TV's I mounted.

Great wall mount, love it!11/30/2012
This wall mount is high quality, don't let the low price fool you. It holds my 40" Samsung LED on the wall perfectly. No complaints. Easy installation.
Good price, fast delivery, would buy again from them!
Needs additional adaptor11/27/2012
I suppose the words "...for most 22-44 inch LED LCD..." should have warned me. I need to get some additional hardware - an adaptor - to fit my TV. It isn't really anyone's fault. Just want to warn you to carefully measure the mounting holes on your TV before ordering. I am still waiting to mount this TV on the wall. This unit itself seems solid and well made. We'll see how it works!
so far so good .very good item. not bad for the price.

Excellent mount for the price6/25/2012
Excellent mount.VESA plate uses a 'hanger and 2 set-screw' type of setup that detaches from the mount to make hanging the the tv a breeze. Single nut in center of mount allows you to level tv and tighten nut for a perfect looking install every time. Quality construction and ease of use. Mounting hardware included. Get this mount. You won't be disappointed.

Does not accept all 42" LCD. No versa 400 hole pat5/19/2012
Use for 37" and smaller
Not as flexible as I had hoped.5/18/2012
It does NOT fit a 32" TV without buying an adapter. The adapter that the installation instructions recommend is no longer available. When I searched for it, I found two alternatives. The smaller one did not work! This was very frustrating! The bracket itself is sturdy and comes with plenty of screws. I would have been fine with it if I had known I needed an adapter and which one was best. [VideoSecu Universal VESA Adapter Plate LED LCD Plasma TV Wall Mount Bracket Extender MLEB 1UU]
Good quality mount.5/9/2012
Good quality solid TV mount. I used with my 32" LED TV and have had no problems
Great TV mount4/18/2012
This TV mount is as good as the $100 mounts sold in stores. Very solid, nicely made, and easy to install. All mouting hardware is included. Matched up to the holes on the back of the TV.
Great product!!4/10/2012
Easy to install!! Great product for the price!! So far no cons. Everything works perfect. The best fit for my tv (Panasonic 32" inches).

the product was high quality just much heavier and larger than expected. The mounting plate was not a good fit for my TV although it could accomodate the required VESA.

This arm is a little heavy but otherwise performs very well and is a very good buy for the money
Great item at a great price.3/5/2012
Why pay $100 at a chain store for something that does the same as this unit? Well constructed.

Came quickly even with free shipping. Can't beat the price...
All good2/27/2012
Product was cheap and shipped fast. It is a bit over engineered for the small lcd display I need to mount but it will definitely work. Better for use with a larger display 24" or larger and especially TVs.
Good value and quick delivery2/27/2012
This is a great wall mount kit for the money. I found it easy to install and of good quality. A little stiff at first but after applying a small amount of WD-40 all was fine. Delivery was also swift and would do it all over again. Thanks!
Excellent Value2/27/2012
I have not yet installed this mount, but it looks sturdy and is similar to one I have installed. It has a surprising bonus with a small torpedo level - not industrial quality, but good enough to get the job done.
Good Mount2/27/2012
Product was easy to assemble and use. Good range of motion for the 26 in TV I have mounted on it. Great for a room that you need to adjust viewing angles like a work out room.
It's Great. everything i was looking for
Amazing product!2/21/2012
Great, affordable, easy to use product! Two thumbs up!
More for my $$2/19/2012
This product appeared to be in good condition. A bargain and well within my budget.
Best Wall Mount I have purchased2/1/2012
This is the best of 3 different articulating wall mounts that I have recently purchased. Full range of motion easy to install and very easy to change viewing position.
Great wall mount!12/8/2011
Does what it's supposed to do. It is sturdy to hold my TV even extending it out; I mounted it only in 20 minutes. I love this multiple move functions that provide comfortable viewing positions. Came with plenty of hardware to mount to any surface and bolt pattern on the back covers all configurations. Highly recommended!3 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

A Semantic Composition Model to Preserve (Re) Configuration Consistency in Aspect Oriented Middleware
Date Added: Aug 2009
Format: PDF
Aspect-oriented programming enables the isolation and modularisation of crosscutting concerns that are typically implemented in a tangled fashion within the base system. However, the composition of these aspects is not completely orthogonal; with interactions between aspects involving direct and indirect dependencies, and conflicts that can cause run-time inconsistencies when those interactions are not detected. This is particularly true of the dynamic composition and adaptation of aspects within distributed systems; therefore in this paper the authors propose a semantic composition model to detect and solve these interaction issues at run-time. The approach can be employed in dynamic AOP middleware, and they evaluate it here within the AO-OpenCom tool. They measure the overhead incurred by the semantic composition model when performing safe dynamic reconfigurations.

A small mod from FSWERKS on my 2014 Focus
I installed there Polyurethane OE mount insert and WOW what a differance it made on the DCT in my car. The transmission has a lot better response time when you step into the throttle. I squealed the front tires when I put my foot into it. I was pretty surprised when that happened. There is some noticeable vibration at idle after I installed the insert but I can deal with it. Im just glad the DCT it more responsive along with a better feel of how the car should be when things are working right. Also I used a little bit of White Lithium Grease from Liquid Wrench to help the insert side into the mount along with using the grease to help the mount slide back into the frame. Also my DCT had the computer replaced a few weeks ago so I get little to no noise at all along with little to no vibration or shaking from the transmission after the computer replacement. This insert made the DCT even better. Hmm now I need to get my next Mod the FSWERKS GREEN FILTER COOL-FLO AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.

Even Edgar Allan Poe, master of eerie twists and turns, would have been mystified by this mind-boggling coincidence created in part by one of his stories. But let's start from the beginning.
In 1838, Poe's only novel was published - The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Partway through the book, the crew of a ship called Grampus finds themselves with a busted boat and no food or water. They manage to catch a tortoise and strip off its shell, but eventually, in order to survive, the crew draws... READ ON

Pharmacists later put the symbol on medicine containers as part of their instructions to patients on when and how often to take the medicine. Somewhere in... READ ON
Rear Admiral Grace Hopper is famous both as a computer pioneer and for, at the time of her retirement (at age 79), being the nation's oldest active military officer. Hopper worked on early computers, and is widely credited with popularizing the term "computer bug" after she found a moth stuck inside a relay in Harvard's Mark II computer in 1947. (Thus "debugging" became the term for fixing computer problems....) You can see the first computer bug (they kept the moth!) at the Smithsonian, in the American... READ ON

If you've seen the Hindenburg before, it's likely only the film of it crashing and burning -- "Oh, the humanity!" and all that. In this extended newsreel from British Pathé, we see the full story of the Hindenburg's last flight, including lots of footage before the crash, and the crash itself with "wild sound" -- just what was recorded on the scene, without commentary (though there is commentary before and after). It's mesmerizing and horrible to watch; 36 people died in the crash. Have a look, if you... READ ON

When you're building a new business, it's always best to kick off your venture with a solid client or two that's signed, sealed, and engaged. Not only does it help you cover your nut right out of the gate, as you prospect for new clients, you'll be able to answer the questions I've been asked most often when building startups over the past couple of decades:
- What brands are you working with right now?
- Take me through a couple of case studies of successful engagements (and please share some examples of your work related to those cases)
- How do I know what you're pitching me actually works in the real world?
- Can you provide a couple of current references for me to speak with?
- But what if you started your business without an anchor client? What if you started your business without any clients at all?
Sure, you might be able to leverage work product from a previous employer, or maybe even get a buddy you worked with at another company to take a reference call for you. You could also pull together a nice portfolio with artifacts developed by others culled from Google searches. Truth is, while none of these tactics set the foundation for a sustainable business model, I know plenty of people who've used them. Some even won some business. Once or twice.
I'm sure you'll agree there's got to be a better way.
The RFP Path to New Business
RFP's can be a great path to new business, if you've got plenty of time and money to burn for RFP solicitations, responses, and subsequent post-RFP pitch meetings. Let's do the math.
If you and your team spend 150 man-hours reviewing and putting together a response to an RFP (and that's a conservative estimate) at a blended hourly rate of $100/hour, that'd be about $15,000 per RFP. If you worked on 10 of those a year, you're looking at $150,000.
If half of those turn into pitches, your post-RFP follow-up would include time for more meetings (internal and at the client location), content development (pitch deck, creds video, creative, leave-behinds, etc.), and T&E, you're probably looking at another $30–40,000 for a yearly total of $200,000. We're up to $350,000 for the year and that's not even including budget for acquisition and day-to-day business development.
Truth be told, I've worked on RFPs and post-RFP pitches that totaled some $300,000 when all was said and done. And in many cases, we didn't win the business. As good as you think you might be, you're simply not going to win 'em all.
Oh, and let's not forget that most organizations underestimate the cost of pitching, often missing the mark by a factor of 2–3X, which can easily push a RFP response into the $100,000 range.
If this all sounds kind of crazy to you, stick with me, because I have another approach for your consideration.
Selling "Free"
As a new business with no real answers to the questions I listed above, you need a quick way to validate your offering and get a few qualified clients in the boat. The fastest, most effective, and cost-efficient way is to seek out a few banner brands and offer to do some work at no charge in exchange for them becoming a reference for your business. You can also get some nice case study materials and a press release out of the deal.
While RFPs are pure speculation, taking this approach virtually guarantees a win. Since you're already paying your team to sit around and do a bunch of nothing (because you have no clients), why not put them to work building artifacts of success you can use to answer the questions above and kick-start your business?
See, I told you it'd make sense.
But be warned — selling "free" ain't easy, despite what you might think. Your best path to success is to start with people in your network who trust you. Make them an offer they can lift, complete with decent upside and little or no risk. And then, relentlessly deliver the goods.
Once you've delivered results on a few projects, you'll have solid answers to the questions every prospective client you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting will ask:
- What brands are you working with right now?
- Take me through a couple of case studies of successful engagements (and please share some examples of your work related to those cases)
- How do I know what you're pitching me actually works in the real world?
- Can you provide a couple of current references for me to speak with?
- Check, check, check, check, and check.
Work Smart and You'll Get Results
I'm not saying this approach is going to make a dyed-in-the-wool CEO with a steadfast traditional business mindset jump for joy. But it'll be much cheaper than playing RFP Roulette if you wisely pick and choose brands to partner with and manage the projects carefully. What's more, it'll provide you with tangible results you can take out into the marketplace and leverage for real revenue.
Sounds highly unconventional, you say? Maybe, but it actually does work in the real world. I've been using the model for years. Let me know what youthink. Is selling "free" something you'd be willing to try in your business? Why or why not?

A heroin defendant had her conviction imposed and was placed into an in-house substance abuse treatment facility.
Brenda Nutter, 52, of Tiffin, earlier had been granted treatment in lieu of conviction through Huron County Common Pleas Court.
As a condition of her two years of probation, Nutter was ordered Monday to complete a four- to six-month program at a community-based correction facility. A CBCF is a form of prison which focuses on substance abuse treatment and education. Judge Jim Conway also suspended her driver's licenses for six months.
Nutter was convicted Monday of possession of heroin. The Willard Police Department investigated the June 4, 2011 incident.
She admitted to several offenses in November, which violated the intervention program.
The Richland County Sheriff's Office charged Nutter with driving with a suspended license Nov. 1. Seven days later, she was found guilty of failure to reinstate through Tiffin Municipal Court, where she also faces a theft charge. Wetter also admitted to testing positive for THC, opiates and several other drugs during a Nov. 6 drug screen. On the same day, she admitted to a Tiffin police officer she had consumed alcohol and had her last drink about 8 a.m.
"That was just a one-week relapse," Nutter told the judge, adding she had been sober until that time.
If either of the defendants violate the terms of their probation, they face one year in prison.

Mark Collins, a feature writer for the Boulder Daily Camera, called a couple of days ago to conduct a phone interview for the paper. I'm somewhat surprised myself how vivid my memories are of my first summer in Boulder, in 1966; it doesn't hurt that I recently rediscovered a journal I kept the first few weeks of that summer (in tiny, crabbed handwriting-- how insecure I must have been!) and had reread the wide-eyed, self-obsessed musings of the 19-year-old baby actor I was. The company in those days was all non-Equity and had no roles precast-- all three shows were cast in a three-day, almost round-the-clock, very intense series of auditions and callbacks, and by the third day I was a wreck. I'd come with a very inflated idea of my own talents and prospects, and had fantasized about taking the place by storm. Suddenly I found myself surrounded by a lot of older, better actors, who knew their way around a stage a lot better than I did, and I went in 48 hours from expecting to play leads to wondering if I was going to get any kind of speaking part at all. And the summer might have been a real washout, if Jim Sandoe, who was directing Merry Wives of Windsor, hadn't seen something in me and given me Dr. Caius, the French physician-- based probably more than anything else on my being able to do the accent (I was semifluent in French). Anyway, it saved my summer; I felt I could hold my head up among all these brilliant, talented people I'd somehow fallen in with-- and I started to learn. I sat in the Mary Rippon Theatre for hours on end that summer, drinking in rehearsal after rehearsal-- whether they were scenes I was in or not-- and by season's end I really was starting to understand something about performing Shakespeare.
The interview will appear in the Sunday paper on June 1-- the day I arrive in Boulder.

The Balearic Islands region
Home to green rolling hills, dramatic coastline, breathtaking sunsets and an extraordinary nightlife, Ibiza has been a magnet for visitors in search of beauty and an unforgettable holiday experience for decades. The old-world charm of Ibiza Town provides the perfect setting for visitors looking to experience the island?s stylish arts, cultural and social scene. Smart and sophisticated bars and restaurants, private boutiques and galleries, and a fascinating history draw an exclusive crowd throughout the year. The walled old quarter of the city, the D?Alt Villa, with its winding cobbled streets and 16th century cathedral only add to Ibiza Town?s vibrant atmosphere.
Sant Jose
The large and relatively new resort of San Antonio is where most of the island?s and discos are located, and it is busiest during the summer months when people from all over the world come to experience the legendary nightlife in some of the most stylish clubs on the planet. But beyond the lively Ibiza Town and San Antonio, visitors to Ibiza will discover a world of beautiful, un-spoilt countryside, traditional villages and farms, and a way of life that has been virtually untouched by tourism. The island is home to more than 60 beaches, ranging from long, sandy stretches to tiny hidden coves which can only be reached by boat or on foot. Protected from overdevelopment by the local authorities, the wild, northern end of the island is particularly beautiful, with acres of lemon and olive groves, green hillsides and rugged cliffs. Walkers can climb Ibiza?s highest mountain, Sa Talaiassa for stunning views across the whole island, or visit the Ses Salines salt flats to the east. An island of contradictions and surprises, Ibiza?s unique and magical atmosphere offers visitors from all walks of life a holiday to remember.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 2/10/13
It was almost as if Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey knew a five-overtime game against Louisville was coming. The No. 25 Fighting Irish watched videos of great boxing matches before their marathon win over No. 11 Louisville on Saturday night. Brey talked to the players about going deep into a match — and now the Irish players know what that feels like. "I talked about it being a 15-rounder and taking punches and being put on the mat," Brey told The Associated Press. "At the fourth or fifth timeout I said, `Has there ever been a 20-rounder?" The Notre Dame players were skeptical of Brey's analogy, but that was before the game lasted over 3 1/2 hours. "We're like, 15 round matches, that doesn't happen," Notre Dame forward Jack Cooley said. "And then we played five overtimes. So that's how it went." The game was the longest in Notre Dame history and the longest in Big East regular season history. Watch clips from the marathon matchup in the video below.

Finally, this photo, which David captioned: "He's happy because he just sold a motherlode of burritos to the Oklahoma delegation"
Members of the Kentucky delegation have teamed up to form the Congressional Bourbon Caucus.
India, its most powerful Asian member, has downgraded its delegation.
1610s, "action of delegating" (earlier in this sense was delegacie, mid-15c.); perhaps a native formation, perhaps from French délégation, or directly from Latin delegationem (nominative delegatio) "assignment, delegation," noun of action from past participle stem of delegare (see delegate). Meaning "persons sent by commission" is from 1818; meaning "a state's elected representatives, taken collectively," is U.S. political usage from 1820s.

A day late. (Bulbaversary Blog)
by, 27th February 2013 at 12:28 AM (1004 Views)
366 days ago, I watched an LP. Chuggaaconroy's Pokemon Emerald LP, to be exact. In that LP, he mentioned Shiftry, saying how underrated and "monstrous" it can be in battle. I decided to check out its stats on Bulbapedia. I decided that I needed this Pokemon. But alas, I had no way to obtain it, as I had never encountered a Seedot in-game. I noticed a link on Bulbapedia's homepage that read "Bulbagarden forums".
"Ah, they have a forum," I thought to myself. "Perfect."
I quickly found the BMGf GTS, and posted a thread in Munchlax's Cravings, requesting a Seedot. A day later I worked out a deal with some guy who wanted a Skitty in return. I gladly accepted the offer, and received my Seedot. After a long night of training, Shiftry turned out to be a festering pile of horse shit.
Point is, on that day, I discovered a website and community that would quickly become one of my favorite places to visit online. Here's to the first year, and the ones to come. Ya'll are sexy bitches, and I love ya.

The cabins will be upgraded, but I wouldn't expect miracles.
The cabins will be upgraded, but I wouldn't expect miracles.
While I think that the Star Tours II update will be significant and add many more years of life and huge attendance to the attraction, I don't think that it will become the favorite attraction at Disneyland much less compete for the title of best theme park attraction.
I think Universal's got a lock on that title for a while. Whether you think that Forbidden Journey or Spiderman is tops, both are at Islands of Adventure.
I'm not quite sure how Disney got themselves into this mess, but I sure hope they have a plan to get out of it that is better than the Fantasyland princess meet-n-greet Forrest.
I know that Disney CAN do better. The question is, WILL they be willing to pay for it?
Anyway, kudos to Universal for advancing theme park entertainment to levels that only Disney was willing to experiment with in the past. Thank goodness that the magic and creativity lives somewhere. Even if it isn't at Disney.

Disney didn't do anything. Universal did.
Forbidden Journey and Spiderman are amazing rides. However, I feel that IOA isn't going be able to sustain its momentum without adding more attractions like it. I mean, the park has no way to keep people inside the park after they have ridden all of the rides and seen almost all of its shows. I can tell you from my night time visits is that crowds drop toward night time.
In contrast, when I visited California Adventure during Summer Nightastic last year, the crowds were still there. Of course, there was the Electric Parade to keep the crowds in at night.
Given that World of Color is already a hit that has resulted in Disney extending DCA's hours, the addition of the family-friendly Little Mermaid ride, and of course Cars Land with all new rides and and a true E Ticket, DCA will grow into a full day park. A park where you can truly spend morning to night in like Disneyland.
I definitely think we will see DCA continue to beat IOA in terms of attendance, especially once the DCA expansion is continue. Although the Wizarding World of Harry Potter attracts and will continue to attract a lot of people to IOA, I doubt that it will ever give Universal the ability to attract the mass number of crowds that Disney attracts throughout most of its theme parks to IOA throughout the entire park and the resort as a whole.
I have to admit, Universal Studios Florida does have a better "backlot" area than Disney's Hollywood Studios, and it certainly is well themed (San Francisco actually looks like...San Fransisco!). However, Universal needs to update some of its areas too (Fievel's Playland, anyone? My only guess why it is still around because its a place for kids to play and they don't want to remove one of the few attractions they have geared toward kids.)
As for Disney's Hollywood Studios, while Bob Weis is in charge for the DCA's expansion, can he be also assigned to revive/update/expand DHS (since he helped plan the original design)? DHS has great attractions, but could certainly use more and update/remove/revive others (such as the Backlot tour).
When it comes to Indy, Potter and Spiderman, the current top tri-fecta of thrill-dark rides, I'd still give Indy the edge. But that is like saying I won't ride a Bently because I've ridden in a Lotus.
Don't think I hate it...I just don't think it can't be dethroned.
Imagineering Exec VP to Lead Shanghai Disneyland | AWN | Animation World Network
Well, I'm sure Bob Weis will do a great job on Shanghai Disneyland. DHS is a great park, but it just needs a update now that it is no longer a working studio.

after 3 cs Happily single Mom
Its been a LONG week and a few days since Bella was born. The washer decided to break yet again (its only 6 months old too! ughs!), my husband ended up in the ER with an asthma attack (we had no clue he had asthma) and my older two have decided it would be a great idea to act like little terrors.. The van's check engine light came on just as we were pulling out to take DH to the hospital.. Deep breathe, eventually this will all work out..
So, the house is a disaster and no one has clean clothing. Tomorrow I have to work on those two things..
List of things I should get done:
School with the older two
finish planning school activities till December
pick up around the house and vacuum
hand wash a few loads of laundry
Im going to bed but first thing tomorrow morning Ill start in the kitchen. Im limiting myself to 15 minutes on my feet per hour though since Im still pretty beat and I don't want to over do it.
First session I need to nurse the baby, change diapers, feed the toddler (the older two have already eaten) and clean the girls room/my room. If I have time after that I need to make my bed.
So the cleaning didn't get done, I got to play referee for a sibling fight.. The baby is up to nurse again (I don't know if she is growing or what but she wants to nurse constantly) so I'm going to go change her diaper, nurse then work on my room and the girls room.
ETA- Got the bedrooms done.. The baby wants to nurse again and probably needs a new diaper. Then I'm going to help the girls clean their playroom. After the playroom I'm going to tidy the hall bath and hall...
2nd- got the playroom done, fed the kids lunch and put my son down for a nap.. Going to go do some school with the girls while we don't have a toddler climbing all over us.
3rd- Just finished doing school things with the girls. Now they are going to make Frankensteins to decorate the house and I'm going to nurse the baby/relax some.
Its getting late and I don't know what Im serving for dinner yet, time to go figure that out and do dishes. Then wipe down the sink and pick up around the living room (which is pretty much clean already)
Today I:
*made breakfast and nice coffee
*got DD off to school
*rinsed the dishes and cleaned the counters
*cleaned the litter box
*put out the trash
*watered the plants. Our jalapeno plant and lemon tree are producing.
*towel mopped the floors with vinegar and hot water
*vacuumed the whole place
*changed the bed sheets on 2 beds
*made dinner and watched the debate
I hope to:
*work on job search stuff
*take DD to horse riding
oki, i was ashamed to admit it ... but when child number 3 was born, ... i think i only managed to wash her once a week for the first three weeks of her life ...
it was really really very very basic minimalist survival routines for a while ....
basically, nursing her & feeding the other two kids were my top two priorities
i just tried to manage the rest as i could (=very very reduced "services")
am back from 3 nights in Paris, kid-less with another kid-less mom
it was GREAT (we had only planned a half day in a specific museum, the rest of the time, we decided as we went along ...)
i was lucky to find someone take care of the kids at short notice (DH being still in hospital)
the kids had a good time but didn't keep up with the chores i had asked them to complete
+ was in hospital for the last of my treatments for phase two of my treatments today (= am rather tired now, & procrastinating at the computer a little)
SO the flat is a tip, am just doing my third load of laundry (second one is not up yet !!!)
still need to clean the bath tub, give baths, cook dinner and clean up (kitchen floor is sticky in places ....)
wish i could curl up in bed with a good book ....
hope to wake up in good shape tomorrow and to spend 2 hours tidying and cleaning up
before packing lunch for a playdate in a park ....
Good morning everybody !
not sure about picnic, it might rain (we could do "plan B" and head to the library instead !))
so far
- one load of laundry done, need to fold one of 3 so as to "free" the drying rack and put up that last one to dry
- another one is in the machine right now
- un-screwed the toilet seat, washed it in the bathtub, it's drying
washed the toilet bowl (have decided i'll have a specific yoga pant & old top from a hook at the back on a door
for when i clean up the toilet;
have just noticed a minuscule bright pink stain on my new & favorite navy blue "dress" pants
i just DON' T understand, i NEVER get any bleach stain from when i clean the toilet bowl on my other not so favorite pairs of trousers
it's not fair !!!!
i don't like the concept of having not so nice/not so new clothing for when staying home & changing clothing to get out
but have decided i'm going to do that now ....
- un-picked the hemed elastic finishing from former tack suit bottoms of mine, which i rarely wore
because DD1 's PE pants from last year seemed definitely too small
=> all last minute but she left on time for school in the end
- poped to the market before DD2 woke up
i need to support our local growers who don't use pesticides & are converting to organic
i realise i'm lucky to have an apple and pears seller
and another guy who sells vegetables he grows
need to get off the computer and wash the salad i baught & cook some of the veggies
so that tonight's meal will be easier going !!!!
+ a little more cleaning before we are off to the park
Im trying to keep a sense of humor with everything.. Its nothing that can't be fixed, even hubby's health issues we are blessed with great health insurance so we don't have to worry about how we will get it taken care of..
Getting a late start, I woke up with a migrane that doesn't want to go away. Im thinking Im not drinking enough water so Im going to make sure to drink more today..
My hopefully to do list:
finish cleaning the kitchen since it didn't get done yesterday
defrost something for dinner tonight
school with the girls
do some laundry
find the staple gun so I can fix the curtains (yes, I stapled curtains up in the bedroom since I was to lazy to find the right size curtain rod)
organize the girls school books yet again.
First up though, I need to nurse the baby and get the girls dressed for the day. Probably going to need to change DSs and DDs diapers as well.
Got the baby fed, changed and dressed. Got the older ones dressed and teeth brushed. Now the baby wants to nurse and then Im going to tidy the living room and bedrooms so they don't end up a mess again (honestly, spending 2 15 minute sessions a day tidying up saves me from hours of work the next day). Ill pull out dinner at the same time.
Nursed the baby again, helped the girls clean up their room and the playroom then picked up my room. I also separated the laundry. Im going to go do the dishes since the baby is taking a nap (Im not a fan of babywearing and washing dishes at the same time, I always end up giving the baby an accidental bath!) and then I think I need to do some school things with the girls.
Just finished doing school with the girls and nursing the baby. Saw the time and realized that dinner needs to be made so Im going to go make dinner then finish the load of laundry I was doing.
*made breakfast and coffee
*got DD off to school
*went to the DMV for hours
*picked up a new tablecloth
*rinsed the dishes and cleaned the counters
*made lunch and did cleanup
*took out the trash
*made the bed
*vegged awhile
*went to a parent/teacher conference
*went to the grocery store
*made dinner and did cleanup
*watched Survivor
I hope to:
*walk tomorrow
Got a lot done today. The baby's clothing got washed and so did some of DSs. The house is almost clean (not trying for spotless, just don't want to kill myself walking through the front room!) and I made dinner..
Tomorrow I need to:
Make something for breakfast other than granola bars
organize the school books and get them off the ground
fix the curtain
clean the bathrooms
work on laundry
do school with the girls
finish the meal plan and write up a shopping list for it
If I have the energy there are a bunch of things that need to be moved into the attic that I have been asking DH to do for a while.. That is, also, if I want to brave the attic. I have this irrational fear of attics and basements.
Dinner tomorrow night: chicken pot pie and biscuits
Today I:
*am waiting for the repairman to look at our computer. It's acting up.
*made breakfast and good coffee
*got DD off to school
*exchanged some recalled cereal and picked up toilet paper
*put out the trash and opened the windows
*straightened up and cleaned the table
*cleaned the front bathroom
I hope to:
*job search
I'm going to type up a to do list for today and this weekend.. Hubby is off this weekend so hes going to be doing a bunch of it..Blues are the ones that hubby is definitely do it, he just doesn't know it yet!
To dos.
Finish the laundry (almost done)

Hello everyone.
I've have got out of my good cleaning habits, so going to try harder.
Got a lot of cleaning done today as we needed to move a desk into DS's room, out of my oldest daughter's room because she is getting a double bed. Times they are a changing!
Off to do a decluttering session now in my room.
hello everyone !
am getting envious of those of you who manage to declutter and clean ....
have only managed to clean the toilet yesterday and put two loads in the washing machine (not even put them up to dry)
i had a nap instead of cleaning
.... then i "stole time" to go and get my feet done (including dark nail varnish, so that i'll be happy seeing my feet at my next dance class)
since i had to stay so that it would dry, on impulse i decided to get some semi-permanent (two weeks) nail varnish on my hands ... don't think i'll manage more than a month or two with the up-keep that it needs every other week .... but since some of my nails are still damaged from the chemo, i am hoping it will be a good boost ... AND that i'll be more happy cleaning and decluttering when i see my nice new nails .... or maybe that was just some more procrastinating ?????
am hoping to have a couple of hours this pm to work on the flat (the bathroom tiles and surfaces are in dire need of attention
i only manage the inside of the washbasin and of the bath with regularity ....
2 days later ... the bathroom still hasn't been cleaned ... (maybe tonight after kids bedtime ?)
ended up being a VERY minimalist cleaning person yesterday (but got to go to the cinema & got myself some new swimming goggles)
spent a good two hours cleaning this morning
- toilet (including mopping the floor)
- kitchen (including legs of table, all chairs, door, all surfaces & tiles and floor .... - but NOT top of furniture)
- vaccumed part of the flat
- thorougly cleaned a plastic box given to us, it's going to house DD2 "school" items (so that she feel happy to be treated like DD1 and DS)
- one load of laundry drying up on balcony
- second load of laundry nearly finished
what annoys me about cleaning right now is that i'm so much behind with the weekly and monthly lists that even 2 hours one day ... doesn't make me feel that i've progressed much ...
am going to try get a start on sorting out boxes
there's a storm so i'd better get off the computer too i suppose ....
I've been cleaning as I go, and I'm pretty happy with the state of everything. It's reasonably clean and somewhat straightened.
Today I:
*made breakfast and coffee
*rinsed the dishes and cleaned the counters
*made the bed
*did crafts with DD
*read the paper
*gathered all the trash and took it out
*cleaned the front bathroom
*washed 2 loads of laundry
*picked up dinner and watched the Amazing Race
I gotta get back on my walking routine. Have a good night.
Good morning all!!
Bejeweled- you know a woman walks like 10000 steps within the walls of her own home each day.. so, you can count that as your daily walk
Didn't get everything done this weekend that I wanted to but I did get a ton done that I hadn't planned on so it all evens out. Hopefully today I can get some cleaning done. My kids are super fussy already though so no guarantees..
To Dos:
Quick Clean house
put things in attic (really this time, Im procrastinating big time and hubby is as well)
steam clean the girls bedroom
steam clean my mattress (if I can convince everyone to stay off of it )
work on laundry
do school things with the girls
make hubby take back the library books
finish the dress Im making for the baby (its 3/4ths of the way done)
talk to DH and figure out phone plans
Today I:
*made breakfast and coffee
*got DD off to school
*took out the trash
*rinsed the dishes and cleaned the counters
*applied for a job
*went to an appointment
*went to the bookstore and picked up lunch
*made the bed
I hope to:
*veg awhile
took me a good 40 minutes but i got the bathroom throughly cleaned tonight , yeah !
am thinking of tackling the restroom tomorrow (am suspicious that the walls are getting some projections, somehow, because "just" cleaning the toilet bowl and the floor is not enough to get rid of a lingering smell in there - no window ...)
also managed to cook an easy dinner, serve it and clean the sink by 8:00 pm ....
two kids in bed, one still up with late homework ...
not sure i'm going to tackle some sewing or go to bed myself soon ...
was out an about most of the day yesterday so hardly any cleaning done
managed two loads of laundry though ...
Today I:
*made breakfast and hot
*got DD off to school
*rinsed the dishes and cleaned the counters w/peppermint soap
*took out the trash
*made the bed
I have a job interview today and hope to vote. Hope you're having a nice day.
Yesterday I woke up late and with a migrane (I think I need to wash the carpet or actually wash the mattress like Ive been meaning to, I think Im allergic to something in my bedroom) and then had an appointment in the afternoon so nothing got done.
This morning so far I have:
slept in
made breakfast
cleaned up my bedroom, vacuumed and made my bed
fixed the curtains in my room
helped the girls clean and vacuum their room
pull out the 3-6 mo clothing for the baby
school things with the girls
organize the school books
Im thinking of:
helping the girls clean playroom
clean the living room and kitchen so at least they don't look like disasters
finish putting things in the attic
finish the red dress Im making for the baby
help DD1 finish some of the doll clothing shes making
help DD2 finish the doll she is making.
good afternoon !
how was the job interview Bejeweled ?
today i was out most of the day (a swim + a Tai chi class + packed lunch, + appointment with a mental health professional )
am going to go for a nap now
have just started a load of laundry
tonight dinner will be polenta (semi liquid, with grated cheese in it) but i don't know yet what protein nor what veggies to serve it with ....
but yesterday, i finally managed to
- spend 35 minutes sorting out a huge amount of hand outs for DS // go and deliver half of it to another family with a boy
i had been meaning to do that for more than 4 weeks but my life got turned so tupsy turvy lately that i kept putting it off
- spend 40 minutes finally tackling the walls of the restroom, the dusty pipes & the very back of the toilet seat
(removed all books on shelf & the pictures that are hung there)
i used a lemon scented cleaning product .... i still feel that it smells in there
am going to unscrew the toilet flap again and clean it in the bath & underneath it
tonight i'm going to try to thorougly clean some second hand plastic baskets i was given yesterday
will come in handy to sort out and put away toys so that we don't step on them and hurt our feet ....
hello everyone ....
yesterday was a so-so day, i slept a lot ... but wasn't feeling so good
(hoping not to come down with DH's cold, he's been caughing in my face for more than 24 hours by now)
so managed
- cleaning the toilet lid in the bathtub
- a load of laundry & folding and putting away the load from the day before (since i needed the dining room table to spread out contents of boxes to declutter)
- going to the market (not so many fruit and veg sellers since it was a muslim holiday, instead found a shoe seller with slip on shoes for 10 euros each, very comfortable too, so got myself a pair in .... RED .... have never had a pair of red shoes ...)
- spent too much time on the computer (to avoid tackling the boxes)
- finally got round to opening a few boxes and sorting out, this is REAL hard to do for me
(there's not much i want to discart for one thing & and then .... i don't know how and where to store what i know i want to keep !)
- made myself a very decent healthy lunch (left overs) and a salad later on in the afternoon
- prepared and served a decent dinner in a time frame that i thought would work best for us(
= finishing cleaning dishes and shining the sink before 8:00 pm
which gave us the time to play cards (the children and i) for 35 minutes
this is for fun .... but also to practice .... loosing without blowing a fit & handing out cards to siblings or mom without throwing them out to someone's face ;;;;
=> the social center had a families' meeting a while ago, asking members what type of activities we would like to take part in
i suggested a games evening
AND they have come up with an afternoon playing board games during the school holidays
this is great & we are going to attend (and polish our manners in the meantime !)
so far this am
- got up, got breakfast
- replied to a few e-mails
- ran a bath but not yet washed
- tood out roller blading kit for DS and I & we are leaving in 15min so i must STOP relaxing at the computer
have a nice week-end !

This Saturday night, September 29, undefeated super middleweight prospect Jason "Monstruo" Escalera will challenge world ranked and fellow undefeated Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez in the HBO Boxing after Dark, "Road To Glory" televised ten round main event at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, Connecticut. The 27-year-old Escalera, 13-0-1 (12KO's), fighting out of Union City, New Jersey, has become a must-see attraction in the New York area with his show-stopping knockouts. Most recently, the heavy-handed Escalera faced Nick Brinson on MAY 18 at the Times Union Center in Albany, NY. In the ESPN Friday Night Fights eight round battle, Escalera aggressively pursued and battered Brinson seemingly winning an easy decision, however the three judges scored the bout a draw. In his six previous starts, Escalera had won each bout by knockout. "Jason is exactly the type of fighter that HBO wants on their broadcasts. He's exciting, he always comes to fight, and he has concus...

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Walker doesn't rule out White House bid
In a profile on the inside-the-beltway website Politico, Gov. Scott Walker discusses the national role he might play in Republican politics following his win in this month's recall election.
The governor also doesn't rule out a possible run for president in 2016. The article also says Walker offered to travel anywhere Mitt Romney's campaign thinks his words might be beneficial.
"I'd like now and into the future to play a bigger role not only in Wisconsin and the Midwest, but nationally," he said in the piece posted Tuesday night. "I'd like to have an impact."
In the phone interview, Walker notes he has time to be part of the national political scene because state lawmakers don't reconvene for regular business until next year.
As links to the article bounced through social media, focuisng on the possible presidential run, Walker sent a message of his own.
"I'm focused on being a great governor for all of the people of Wisconsin!" the governor Tweeted from the account that's tied to his campaign. (He has a different Twitter account for his official gubernatorial duties.)
The Politico piece also mentions hopes among some Democrats that Walker will become ensnared in the John Doe probe involving former members of Walker's staff.
