Life Update - 80+ days later?!
Monday, 29 August 2016
This has put me in a strange situation in relation to blogging, as much of this isn't my story. I am absolutely effected and I could put my experiences out there and give light to some of the pain, joys and fears, but it effects many people who I dearly love - this is their story too. With this being so primary in our worlds, I have often felt disingenuous about putting regular content up, whether it be travel, beauty, etc., related - all things I love, but things that don't take priority right now. It's also about emotional energy. I love this blog and want to do it well and not do it for the sake of it.
Yet, there are some things I'm so excited to share with you and they'll be coming up in the coming days/weeks. I appreciate all of your patience - for any check-ins to see if anything is up, any perusal of archives, and any and all prayers, love and understanding.

15 of my Top Tips for Planning a Wedding
Thursday, 26 May 2016
Wedding season is upon us again, and having gone through it just last year, I have some tips that I either wish I knew going into it, or learned fast once in the process! It's a crazy time and every couple's experience is going to be different.. do what works for you, ignore what doesn't. Here is what I found to be helpful and what I'd personally suggest:
In the pre-planning:
1. Get off Pinterest.
At least at the very beginning, stay off Pinterest. You may have had a "some day" board or something similar pre-engagement and that was great for dreaming and brainstorming, but at the very beginning of engagement, get off pinterest. First, think about what you want. Think about what is actually available to you. Think about the venue (if you have one already) and think about what would work in that space. Then, you have your playground that you can play in. Pinterest can give you so many ideas that may not seamlessly work together. They're fragments - good ones, definitely -but in order to make a wedding flow and feel 'together', start with your vision, your ideas, and what is important to you. Not what Pinterest tells you you "CAN'T MISS".
2. Delay announcing your engagement.
I remember people wondering when the heck I was going to change my status or post a picture. We waited for a little bit to announce to 'the world' and I'm so glad that we did. There were people I wanted to tell in person or at very least, over a phone call. That was important to me. There was also a really happy bubble that you're in then! It's this limbo land where it feels so surreal and blissful. The well-wishes only continue once you announce it, but it's fun to just keep it to the family and closest friends for just a little while!
3. Don't cram the schedule in the last few days.
This partially depends on the venue and the help that you have available to you. If you have a wedding coordinator this may not apply! We had our reception in my in-law's backyard. It was amazing. It was also a lot of work. We were the ones setting everything up. We had a lot of help and my Mum truly enabled me to be the bride and not the coordinator. That said, there was still a lot of last minute work. Originally, I had hoped that we could do a girls outing to get our nails done the day prior. That Friday was the craziest day ever. There was no chance of that happening! If you're in a similar DIY situation, keep the few days prior as clear as possible. You'll be busy. I promise.
4. Try to minimize the time in-between the ceremony and reception.
I was big on the momentum of the day. I had always envisioned a wedding where the ceremony and reception were at the same place. As that wasn't our reality, I wanted to ensure that people went straight to the reception site and not divert to their own happy hour, home, or wherever else. Our guests got clear instructions right within the ceremony (and on the programs!). Immediately upon their exit of the church we were having a big group picture. Then, everyone was headed to the reception site for cocktail hour! Even with a location change, it totally worked. We didn't lose anyone.
5. Ignore the "must-do" instructions.
This isn't the day you have to wear a huge face full of makeup. You don't even have to have a traditional wedding. You don't have to wear heels. You don't have to do anything. You have to sign a marriage certificate. Beyond that, you do it in whatever way you feel comfortable. It's completely up to you and your partner.
6. Delegate.
This one is multi-faceted. First, know your strengths. Know what you can handle. Many budgets limit what you can hire professional help for. instead of taking it all on yourself, maybe some of those "extras" aren't really necessary. Consider whether you can let some of them go. The other side of this, is ask for help. Often, people are genuinely happy to lend a hand. My caveat to this is don't overdue it. Don't have set expectations and monopolize their time. This is your wedding, not theirs. You have this vision of what it looks like - it's not their vision. They'll probably be happy to help but just don't overdue it. You want them just as excited about the day, not waiting for it to be over so they'll be relinquished of their duties!
7. Design a wedding you'd want to attend.
Think about your guests' experience of the day and what you hope for out of a wedding when you're attending someone else's. This could apply to transportation between ceremony/reception or home, drink availability, etc. Think about their experience when planning your day.
On the day:
8. Allot extra time for getting ready day-of.
Luke scoffed at this one:) Sure, he got to golf the morning of (only 9 holes!) and just had to shower. The biggest task was getting the bowtie straight. (And let's be honest, he now blowdries his hair -#marriageproblems) But when talking through the timing day-of, one of my bridesmaids called the hairdresser and negotiated an earlier start time with her. She's very persistent :) Thank goodness she was! I had been doing some of my bridesmaids' make-up and while very relaxed up to that point, I was the last one to get my hair done. It took a little longer than she anticipated, and I was rushing to do my make-up as the photographer had already arrived. It turned out totally fine, but I felt a little frenzied at the end. Not the end of the world, but avoidable.
9. Stay classic.
In my opinion, this applies to your dress style, hair, lipstick, bridesmaid dresses, etc. These are memories and specifically, pictures that you will keep and reference forever. You don't want to be shocked at the lipstick colour you picked in five years, let alone fifty!
10. Make sure you feed the staff!
This could be a band, the photographer, videographer, etc. They don't need or likely expect to have a table within the venue, but make sure you chat with your caterer beforehand and communicate the number of extra meals that you'll need day-of. (This isn't usually the full cost per guest... depending on venue/caterer, this gets ballparked).
11. Do your very best to say hi to everyone.
This isn't the day you can have wonderful, in-depth conversations with everyone there. But it's so nice to feel like you have touched base with everyone who made the effort to celebrate with you on your day. That was why I was so intent on being there for the entire cocktail hour and doing pictures beforehand. That was valuable time to mingle and feel present on the day!
12. Eat!
I had a family friend bring scones for breakfast. My sister took care of the other breakfast extras. (Mimosas included, of course!). My father-in-law brought sandwiches to the pre-ceremony photos. Thank goodness for that! Then my lovely bridesmaids and family brought me food during the cocktail hour. Bless them! It's important.
13. Consider the music volume for all guests.
This applies to the dinner and the dance (and something to discuss prior to - just be the bride on the day). My father was particularly sensitive to this one. There's nothing he hates more than having conversation sacrificed for music volume. I also wanted to make sure that people would have some areas to sit and chat if they didn't want to dance. Some people took advantage of this, but most everyone was out on the dance floor! Right where they should be :)
14. Be the bride.
Put other people in charge of the timetables, corralling the guests, coordinating the caterers/photographer/whoever else. You have done so much work in the pre-planning and it's now time for you to enjoy. Put people in charge who you can trust and then wash your hands of it! (I also wanted to free up my Mum on the day, so we had some other wonderful family friends who took the helm for day-of. I've also had friends who swear by their day-of coordinators. Do what works for you!)
15. Don't worry about it.
Even as you're 'being the bride' and mentally thanking all of the people that are handling the issues on the day, you may notice a thing here or there that was not in the plan. Leg it go! The caterers might not be able to open the kegs properly (our story. It was definitely delayed!) but don't worry about it. Have your signature cocktail instead and just move along. It's not the day to get hung up on the little things. At the end of the day, you're there to marry your partner and celebrate that love with those around you. The little things can go! They will just rob your joy and that's only unfair to yourself.
There you have it. What would you add to the list? Also, I had to devote an entire post to my recommendations for the invites/guest list that you can also check out.

Easter Break Part 2: Provence
Friday, 20 May 2016
Following up from Monday's post on the French Riviera, the next portion of the trip was spent in Provence. The South of France was always a mystical land to me - so many beautiful views, bustling markets, quiet afternoons, mouthwatering food, delicious wine, etc. etc. etc. Provence had it in abundance. While many things were very sleepy being early in the season, it was a wonderful time to end the latter portion of our trip.
This post also includes Marseille. While I wouldn't call it Provence, it's very close to it. Again as a reminder of our total lack of preparation, Marseille took us by surprise. It's a big city! I loved the harbour area and spent some very enjoyable time wandering the old town, perusing the harbour and going through the castle and museum.
Avignon was probably our favourite home base of the trip. Our Airbnb was so wonderful that we extended our stay by a night. If you're looking for accommodation in Avignon, I highly recommend it. We had some excellent food and it served as a fantastic base for exploring the area.
The South of France was such a treat, and a week just scratched the surface. There is so much more to see in this big and wonderful world.. we'll need to go back at some point :)

Easter Break Part 1: The French Riviera
Monday, 16 May 2016
The speed at which the last few months have flown by is both a mystery and a wonder to me. On one hand, it feels like Luke and my Easter getaway to the South of France happened yesterday... then well, I remember all of the things that have happened since then - both good things and hard things, and remember, yepppp, that was a little while ago.
- I envisioned a drive along the south coast to be reminiscent of other famous coastal drives. Instead of seeing Big-Sur style views, you'll go on the major highways then jut down to beautiful and quaint coastal towns to get the views and town atmosphere that you're hoping for.
- There's something to be said for high season. While I wouldn't want to be going in July, some of the shops or features (like some markets) wait a little longer to open. You can still find all of the goodness, it just might be a little more spread out and may take more planning instead of stumbling upon it. That's not to say I would want to travel there in July, but I was reminded that there are some benefits to high season travel.
- It's not the cheapest holiday destination! We had one of the best meals ever in Nice and while we certainly paid for it, we realized we were going to be paying a good chunk for most places we went. So we went for it (and got a 40% off offer haha)
London Getaway
Wednesday, 4 May 2016
I am taking a few days off this week but have mostly just taken advantage of the weekends and evenings. We benefitted from this past Monday being a bank holiday (North American translation: holiday Monday for a reason that few really know or care about) and we rented a car and headed over to Wales. But the previous weekend, we hopped on a train to London.
Something to note - book early enough and a one-way train ticket from Oxford-London is only £6. In this crazy expensive country, those are the kinds of things that I have to do a happy dance over :)
We stayed at a no-fuss, we're-just-sleeping-there hotel by St. Paul, booked via Hotwire. Location was the main factor for us and we were willing to take a chance on the hotel to secure the location - and the price - that we wanted. We came out with the Citadines Barbican and it did the trick :) Walkable to St. Paul's Cathedral and from there, Borough Market and Southbank (no way to better discover a city than walking!) and easily accessible to public transit.
It was so much fun to show Lydi London. I planned ahead and picked our dinner places - but the rest was lucky happenstance and general hear-say. Here's a quick review of our 48 hours in one of my now favourite cities:
I may have mentioned this before, but my family and I lived in Australia for a year in 2003 (on a teacher exchange, swapping jobs/houses). It was fricking amazing, but that aside, the house that we lived in for the year had limited entertainment options. There were two viable movies: 28 days (questionable for the teen/pre-teen and child ages that we were) and the beloved Notting Hill. I don't think a movie has ever seen more airplay than that. We know just about every word to that wonderful, delightful, whoopsie-daisy-loving film. As such, we had our priorities straight and headed to Notting Hill for brunch immediately upon disembarking (alighting, as they call it here) at Paddington Station.
We went to 202 Cafe - but it was actually a default as Granger and Co. had a long line. Westbourne Grove is a brunch-lovers haven. We also passed Daylesford Organic and a few others that looked amazing. You can't go wrong!
After a walk through the market and surrounding streets, we headed across town to the East side. Not geographically efficient by any means, but a must for a Saturday drop-by to Borough Market (not opened on Sundays.) It was a gong show but we navigated our way through for to get some strawberries, salami and cheese. By that point on our indulgence weekend, we needed a caffeine pick-me-up, which in the area, is synonymous with Monmouth Coffee. It's delicious and worth the line, if there is one! Go for the personally brewed drip coffee or cappuccino and enjoy.
From there we explored the East side (home to the Tower Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Southbank, and close to St. Paul's cathedral). After a brief stop to check in at our hotel, we met up with Luke at Marble Arches for a walk through Hyde Park and over to Buckingham Palace and onto Big Ben, Westminster and the Parliament Buildings. I'll be honest - we didn't go into anything that required a (steep) entrance fee. We wanted to eat! #londontravelrealities
Speaking of eating, we were wandering around Soho prior to dinner and decided on a pre-meal drink at Spuntino. Luke and I had previously been there for dessert and while you may not agree with Luke's rendition to Lydi, "hands down will be your favourite place you visit - ever" it is pretty darn good! Great cocktails, good looking mains (presented more in bar snack food style, for a decent price) and may I personally suggest the peanut butter and jam ice-cream cake for dessert.
A good wander through Soho includes a stop at Liberty's - a more accessible Harrods. Dinner was at a Mexican place, Wahaco. Great margaritas. Also, things work out if you make your reservation for 7pm but then think it was at 8. It works out :) #NotTheFirstTime
Now for Sunday, after the intrigue of the line at the Notting Hill Granger and Co., we couldn't stay away. Except that we found their east side location in Clerkenwell, just a little walk from our hotel. It didn't blow me away, but I also think that the line set my expectations quite high. It was a lovely interior, however, so there's something :) It was a good meal, don't get me wrong - just nothing I would've waited 1 hour in line for.
The rest of the day had us seeing the other mandatory sites - Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, Harrods for lunch - and then a needed afternoon coffee at Timberyard Coffee and a pre-train dinner at Polpo for Italian tapa-style dish. Don't be put off by the fact that there are several locations across London (and elsewhere, I believe.) The food was delicious! It also happens to be a sister restaurant to Spuntino, so there you go :)
So there you have it - an overly detailed recap of our London weekend, but one that I hope can help with your planning, if you're headed that way! Feel free to reach out with any questions at all :)
Now if I can only get another one of those coffees :) Add a comment »

Carmelo Anthony scored a game-high 30 points and Amar'e Stoudemire scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the New York Knicks overcame a slow start to defeat the Toronto Raptors 108-100 on Friday.
Though the Raptors were looking to clinch the Atlantic Division in front of a home crowd, they had to wait until the Brooklyn Nets fell 93-88 to the Atlanta Hawks later Friday to secure their second division title in franchise history.
New York (34-45) came to Toronto hoping to extend its chance of making the playoffs.
DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors (46-33) with 26 points. Kyle Lowry added 25 points and Jonas Valanciunas added 14 points and a career-high 21 rebounds.
Amir Johnson returned to the lineup after missing the previous three games with a sore right ankle. He played 16 minutes and was scoreless from the field.
The Knicks shot 50 per cent from the floor in the first quarter, but the Raptors held a two-point advantage over New York heading into the second quarter after scoring six of eight three-point attempts.

I am gonna have one heck of an age difference with this baby. My son just turned twelve in December but will be almost 13 when the babies born and my daughter will be 9 in April. Do any of you have kids with a huge age gap? I was the youngest of 4 kids and my oldest sister was 7 years older than me which wasn't too bad. What do you think, built in babysitter?

I was thinking it would almost be like starting over. When I tell hubby I can lord it over him that I kept all my baby stuff. He was just after me to get rid of it because if we did then we would definatley get preggo, lol. We will need new big stuff to be safe like a carseat but the clothes, cloth diapers and stuff are still good. I uses the free babysitter on him before when he said the age gap thing to me. Very powerful argument.

She got back into Taekwando (when the girls were old enough to join) got her blackbelt ( at 53!) and does the whole sport mom thing with all the other young moms... you wouldn't know she's an AARP member by the way she runs circles around everyone.

Thursday Jan. 8, 2009
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio State tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells is giving up his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft.
Wells issued a statement Thursday saying the move is in the best interest of his family.
Wells fought nagging injuries much of his career at Ohio State. After missing three full games this past season, he returned to rush for 1,197 yards.
But he saw limited action in the second half of Monday's Fiesta Bowl due to symptoms of a concussion. He finished with 106 yards on 16 carries.
In three seasons at Ohio State, Wells ran for 3,382 yards, fourth best in school history.

I'm using WordPress.org 3.5.2 with the theme "Twenty Twelve". On the following site, I've integrated a contact form of the "Contact Form" plugin:
When you press the "Submit" ("Abschicken") button and hold it pressed, another image appears which is a bit smaller than the regular image. As a result, the text on the page moves a bit higher, which doesn't look very professional.
I think the easiest way to fix this would be to change the image for the pressed button againt the image for the unpressed button. But how can this be made? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot for your help!

U.S. youth find inspiration in Cuba
In July 2007, nine members of the Young Communist League USA joined 51 other Americans on the 38th Venceremos Brigade to Cuba. Since 1969, Venceremos ("We shall overcome") Brigades have been a way for Americans to show solidarity with the Cuban Revolution by working side by side with Cuban workers and challenging the U.S. economic blockade and travel ban.
Take Gonzales, please!
So far, Texas' pleas for mercy have met stony silence from the other 49 states. Discredited Bushites, driven from their power perches in Washington, shamed before the nation and barely ahead of indictment, are flocking into the Lone Star State. Not one single other state has offered to take them!
Hunting lame ducks in South Africa
Has South Africa's fledgling democracy entered its own version of a lame-duck season? With Thabo Mbeki constitutionally unable to stand for a third term as South Africa's head of state and the presidential season just over a year away, some pundits have begun speculating that the leading figure in South African politics for the past decade is a spent force.
EDITORIAL: A step forward
A federal judge has issued a temporary injunction blocking the Social Security Administration from sending revised "no-match" letters to 140,000 employers, potentially covering the records of approximately 8 million workers. Many feared the letters would create massive economic disruption and injustice.
EDITORIAL: Are we safer now?
On the eve of the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 tragedy, as ceremonies are planned to commemorate nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terrorist attacks that day, a question looms in the minds of many Americans: Has the Bush administration's response to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon made the world a safer place?
Healthy living tips for activists
A critical issue that receives no attention from researchers and very little attention in progressive circles is the health status and health outcomes of progressive activists and organizers. This column will explore a few critical healthy lifestyle points that everyone in the progressive community should strive to follow.
Stem cell battle has big implications
Missouri continues to be a major battleground between proponents of embryonic stem cell (ESC) research and anti-abortion groups.
Bush pays surprise visit to reality
President George W. Bush departed from his planned itinerary on Labor Day to make a surprise visit to reality, later calling the two-hour stop in the real world "informative."
Homecare workers win major gains
SALEM, Ore. — Hardworking and tenacious homecare workers represented by Service Employees Local 503, Oregon Public Employees Union, have won significant improvements to wages, benefits and working conditions. They settled their 2007-2009 contract Aug. 30 after two days of mediation.

A couple of weeks ago I challenged myself to make some corn muffins from scratch that were as good as or better than what I get from the Jiffy Cornbread Mix but unfortunately I did not succeed. I will keep trying but until then, I will use the tried and true Jiffy Mix! Anyway, on their site they have all sorts of great recipe variations that you can do if making cornbread from the mix or from scratch. I saw this one for Mexican Corn Bake and I was inspired by the addition of chili powder to the cornbread mix. The resulting cornbread has a nice spicy kick with a little sweetness from frozen corn kernels and a cheesy topping. I usually make corn muffins but decided to do it in a large glass casserole dish this time. I think I prefer muffins because they cook more uniformly and you don't have to mess with cutting squares. Your call. Either way, it tastes great!
BTW, I've been dropping a square into my Taco Soup and eating them together… it's fantastic!
Chili Cheese Cornbread
- 2 boxes Corn bread/muffin mix $0.84
- 2 large eggs $0.24
- ⅔ cup milk $0.22
- 3 tbsp chili powder $0.15
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels $0.32
- 1 cup shredded cheddar $0.99
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Take one cup of frozen corn kernels out of the freezer and allow them to begin thawing.
- Empty the contents of two boxes of cornbread mix into a large bowl. Thoroughly mix 3 Tbsp of chili powder into the dry mix.
- Mix the eggs, milk and corn kernels into the dry cornbread mix. Do not over stir, just mix until the ingredients are combined. Let the mixture sit for 4-5 minutes.
- Pour the mix into a large glass casserole or muffin tin (both coated with non-stick spray). Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheese on top and bake for 20-25 minutes. The chili powder will make the muffins/bread appear much more brown on top than usual so use a toothpick to test the doneness (a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean, not with raw goo on it).
Step By Step Photos
Mix the chili powder into the dry mix before adding the wet ingredients. Here is the raw mixture… see how red/orange the chili powder makes it?
Pour into a large casserole or muffin tin and bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
This cornbread sounds and tastes a lot more sinful than it really is. The addition of chili powder gives it all of the flavor of a bowl of chili without the added calories or fat. You can bypass the cheese topping, use skim milk (as I did) and use only one or no yolk if you'd like. If you use no yolks, add a third egg white to make up for the volume. Adding the corn kernels not only adds flavor and sweetness but also extra fiber!

I made this today and it came out delicious. Thanks.
I love this recipe. We are gonna make it for a bake sale!
I love the spicy kick in it. Sadly we will need to tone it down a bit for the bake sale.
These are delicious!! My husband doesn't really like cornbread, but he liked these. Thanks! I've also used a recipe where I mix one box of Jiffy, egg, milk, one cup of salsa and one cup of cheese all together, then bake. Those turn out super moist, too.
I love this idea! I may have to alternate this with my "Firemen's Cornbread", 2 boxes of jiffy mix made as directed with a can or creamed corn added. Super moist, like yours was too.
Beth, I'm just coming across this recipe, and it looks really amazing. I dunno if you're still a jiffy addict (not that I could blame you if you were), but I've found that the corn muffin recipe that comes on the bag of Martha white yellow corn meal is an excellent replacement for jiffy. (Especially if you bake it in an old cast iron skillet…)
Its looks delicious. I love cheese recipes. Hope you come with some new recipe.

Total Cleanse Representatives have promised me on 3 separate occasions that someone from their Corporate Office would be calling me back in 24-48 hours. I bet you can guess.......the phone call never comes. Additionally, each time you call Total Cleanse you get a different story....they have a record of your previous calls...they don't have a record of your previous calls, your sample was mailed on on 11/12 and then the next person you talk to tells you the actual product was mailed out to you on 11/12. My question is why would they first tell me that the sample was mailed out on that date (which makes more sense because that is the date that they charged me $9.95 for the sample) and then change their story and say that the actual product was mailed out on that date when they didn't charge me for the actual product until 12/08. Do they actually send you the actual product one month prior to charging you? I don't know any company who does that. And
this is what happens when you can get through to someone. I have waited over an hour and was still was waiting for the next representative only to give up.
Also, apparently Total Cleanse's office is a cardboard box somewhere because their representatives don't seem to know an address for this company.
I need help.........Thanks

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- The opening night of league play fared extremely well for the Palisade boys and girls basketball teams.
The girls started the night on the rocky side of things against the visiting Eagle Valley Devils, and found themselves at an 11-point deficit going into halftime.
In the 3rd quarter, Coach Toni Gunther urged the Bulldogs to focus on defense and then work into a rhythm. That they did. Palisade only trailed by one as the 4th quarter started. They would both of Sierra Detwiler's free-throws in the final minute of play to seal a 53-51 victory.
The boys used the energy from the girls game to fuel an early start in their match-up against the Devils. The Palisade boys entered Friday night undefeated at home and junior Luke McLean gave his best effort to keep that train rolling. McLean drilled a 3-pointer from the top of the key as time expired in the 1st quarter to secure a 4-point lead.
From there on, the Bulldogs never gave in and finished with a 10-point advantage over the visiting Devils. 69-59 was the final.

Joran van der Sloot has pleaded guilty to the
2010 murder of a 21-year-old Peruvian woman he met at a Lima casino.
Stephany Flores was killed five years to the day of the unsolved disappearance in Aruba of American teenager, Natalee Holloway.
Van der Sloot remains the main suspect in Holloway's disappearance.
Van der Sloot's lawyer argued that his client killed Flores as a result of "extreme psychological trauma" he suffered from the fallout of
the 2005 disappearance Holloway.
The judge in the Peru case has adjourned van der Sloot's murder trial until Friday, saying the 24-year-old Dutch citizen will be sentenced then.

YORK (AP) — A central Pennsylvania woman has pleaded no contest to an involuntary slaughter charge stemming from the 2011 death of her infant son.
Thirty-one-year-old Heather Almoney of York was sentenced to time served and released from prison Wednesday after entering her plea in the November 2011 death of 2-month-old Eric Clapper Jr.
The York County district attorney's office said Almoney served 586 days of her five-year sentence.
Also Wednesday, prosecutors dropped a manslaughter charge against the infant's father, 34-year-old Eric Clapper Sr., saying "he is incompetent to stand trial because of his intellectual disabilities."
Authorities said the baby was born premature and died of dehydration and malnutrition.
Defense attorneys had argued neither Almoney nor Clapper had the mental capacity to take care of a premature baby.

Cosmo's PSS Tip of the Week: Wear Sunglasses If You Have Light Eyes
Most Popular
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
You know already that people with fair skin are more sensitive to the sun. But what you may not know is that people with fair eyes have to be extra careful outdoors, too. Here's the science behind it: Light-colored eyes have much less melanin, which is a pigment that helps protect your peepers from harmful sun rays. As a result, fair-eyed beauties are at higher risk for eye damage and diseases than those with darker eyes. If you've got yourself a beautiful pair of bright baby blues (or greens...or hazels...), slip on a pair of sunglasses before you step out in the sun.

I didn't watch the news much over the weekend, but when I did log on and tune in Sunday evening, it seemed the whole world had gone ape over a story about a gorilla being killed to protect a child who had fallen into the animal's area at a zoo.
There was debate about how a child could be allowed to wander free without parental supervision. There was also debate about whether zoo officials should have killed the 17-year old silverback named Harambe instead of waiting it out or possibly tranquilizing the 450 pound animal.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of a resurfacing project beginning this week on KY 2450 (Ashes Creek Lane) in Spencer County.

Declan Costello
Declan Costello (1 August 1926 – 6 June 2011) was an Irish jurist and Fine Gael politician, who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for twenty years, as Attorney General for four years and as a High Court judge for another twenty years before his retirement.[1]
Costello was born in Dublin, the son of John A. Costello who served as Taoiseach on two occasions. He was educated at University College Dublin (UCD), and was an auditor of the UCD Law Society. At the 1951 general election he was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fine Gael Teachta Dála for the Dublin North-West constituency and was re-elected at every subsequent election until he stood down at the 1969 general election.[2] He stood again in the Dublin South-West constituency at the 1973 general election, and was elected for a final time, to the 20th Dáil.[2]
During the 1960s Fine Gael was out of power and Costello was leader of a new generation of Fine Gael politicians who wanted to move the party to the left. He persuaded the party to publish a document called Towards a Just Society which supported economic planning and more government intervention in the economy.[3] This document went on to define what Fine Gael stood for over the following twenty years.
In 1973 Fine Gael was back in government and Costello was appointed Attorney General under Taoiseach Liam Cosgrave. He served in that position until 1977 when he finally left politics to become a High Court judge. In 1979 he presided over the Costello Inquiry into the Whiddy Island Disaster. He was appointed President of the High Court in 1994 and retired in 1997. Costello died in 2011.[3]

I am very satisfied with this rug. I was looking for a rug with a light blue and this one fit the bill. It is a fantastic rug for the price. I received it two days after placing the order. I am extremely pleased with overstock.com.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color of the rug on my screen was pretty accurate to the real rug.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. I am very satisfied with the quality, especially for the price.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The description was accurate.
Its a beautiful rug. The colors are a bit more vibrant in person than on the site. I was hoping for a bit more of a "washed out" look. Still, its beautiful and we're keeping it.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Close, but not exact
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very well made
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? pretty accurate
I was searching high and low for the perfect area rug for my living room. My walls are a buttery yellow and my accent furniture/decor are shades of sage and light blue. I wanted an area rug that would blend in and complement the space. I didn't want anything too jarring like bright colors or busy patterns. This rug was the one I kept coming back to in my searching and I thought it was too good to be true that I actually found something I liked for a great price (that never happens!). I was nervous rolling it out for the first time but I knew right away I had made the right choice. This is rug PERFECT. It's soft and plush with beautiful, subdued colors. I would say the blue is more like a light sky blue than a sage, but it works well with my sage loveseat anyway.
Love this rug ! The colors are much nicer than the pic ( there is no gold in the rug ). The blue background is almost seafoam green, which is fine with me. Brightens up my living room nicely. The pile is very thick, but not too high. A rug pad is really needed to make it more 'plush'.
This is a nice rug. The thickness is good and the rug feels soft. However, it sheds so much. When we sit on it, all the materials get stuck on our pants. Maybe this is a common problem with wool rug.
This was an exchange for a rug that didn't work. This time, color was better described and depicted. So it was a keeper.

School day, redux
Originally uploaded by kjda
I don't wan' go school! That pretty much sums up our morning. Our babysitter, fabulous in nearly every way, isn't on the school night train yet (and it's been a tough one for us to get on, too). Rory went to bed an hour plus later than she needs to. She had to be dragged out of bed. All the way to school she insisted–she did not want to go. Wyatt had some of the same issues.
I heard you, I said. I'm sorry you feel that way. In our family, when it's a school day, we go to school.
I've been saying those same things to Lily and occasionally Wyatt for a couple of years now. Rob was in the car this morning–we'd had a one-car night and left his at the office–and he said afterwards that I had been very annoying, and he wanted to kick me himself, so it was no wonder that Rory did. That was ALSO a deeply annoying thing to say, and not at all helpful, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
So, as you'll have gathered, into school, wailing. Off with coat, wailing. Into slippers, wailing. Attempts to throw self on floor, to remove slippers, to go back out the door (by Rory, not me.)
Wyatt has resigned himself–he's fine. Hug and kiss for Wyatt. Rory tries Rob, clinging to his leg..no dice.
We deliver her to the patient teacher, and she wails as we say bye. I'll be back at pick up! Wailing, wailing.
And we're off. Following the critique of my parenting style, I headed to an internet-positive location, put in three hours of work, and returned to the school. 10 minutes, said the patient teacher. I got a big hug from Rory but neither of us said anything. And that was it.
We went through this with Lily, I remember for certain. Wyatt maybe. I think so. It is what it is. Did it feel a little different? yes, but I couldn't bring myself to believe this was about the adoption separation, or her not thinking I'd come back. I've left her so many times now, and come back so many times. I thought this was Rory tired. Rory facing another day of learning new rules (don't like rules, and having to learn them is even worse). Rory with another day in a regulated, predictable environment–which is actually something she loves, but I've noticed she really disliked being "shown" the routine. She likes to pretend she knows what she's doing at all times.
One teacher did toss at me that Rory "said you weren't coming back." Here's how I imagine that went down:
Gentle but annoyingly knowing teacher: Rory, are you sad?
GBAKT:Are you sad that Mommy and Daddy left?
GBAKT: Will Mommy and Daddy come back?
I've noticed that there are plenty of people out there who want to put every behavioral issue down to being adopted, and man, are we conspicuous with it–here we are! we just adopted! We're hauling her into everything! I find pockets of people who think I should just hunker down and smother her with love and affection for a year or so. That's not the family she got.
Thanks, Nancy, for a great comment on my earlier post. I was hoping for a little sympa…thanks all!
This is just how today went. School is tough for the first few weeks. Tiring. We're having some nice tv now.

Finally created something ...
Very cute idea! Love it!
I'm just not a centerpiece kinda gal. I keep trying to have one but then I get annoyed when I have to move it out of the way and clean around it. One day I'm gonna have a dining room and fancy centerpiece. For now I'm an eat-in kitchen with bench kind of gal.
I'm not a centerpiece girl either, and DH rolled his eyes when he saw what I was undertaking. But I really wanted to make this, and the dining room is the only place I could put it. Need to try to get a photo of it on the actual table (which we've NEVER eaten at).
LOVE this Gwen! How fun!! TFS
Very nice!
Very cute. Did you glitter the butterflies or use ink? Hard to tell, but I think I see two colors on each butterfly.
Wowser!!! This is sooo beautiful!! wow. Makes me want to recreate one for my table!
Didn't mean to post and run, but I went out of town and now I'm back home. So out of it, travel took its toll this time. Just checking in on the computer for the first time. Thanks for the nice comments. I did take another photo of it, will share it soon.

I used my Cricut, and each butterfly has two layers. I used the Graphically Speaking cartridge. I used one patterned paper and one solid for each butterfly. The beauty is that I used papers from my scrap stash - that pile is huge and I'm glad I was able to use some.
I love it!
Super cute. I wish I had the room to be a centerpiece girl but our dining room is always cluttered and kind of a catch all. I love how pretty and delicate this looks.

Couragent, Inc., makers of the Flip-Pal® mobile scanner, introduces StoryScans™ talking photos, a remarkable new feature for the Flip-Pal mobile scanner that allows recording audio and adding it into a scan. According to Gordon Nuttall, CEO of Couragent, "We oftentimes say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, StoryScans talking photos shifts that a bit – voices transform scans into endearing stories."
"Imagine how your family and friends will feel when you send them your grandma's recipe, scanned with high accuracy showing her handwriting, tattered edges, smudges, the pretty illustration, and also with her voice telling you about it. Or, your grandfather proudly describing his Purple Heart medal from the Korean war. How about a photo of your grandma with your visiting cousin's heartfelt description of her in England? And, every grandparent would cherish getting a scan of your daughter's drawing she created that day in art class, with her excited voice telling about it. The uses of StoryScans talking photos are far-reaching. Be among the first to use it and spread the word."
What is StoryScans™ ?
StoryScans talking photos are easy to create. For your Windows or OS-X computer, use the Flip-Pal Toolbox 4 software to record the audio and create the talking photo file. For your iOS device (all models of iPhone and iPad), use the Flip-Pal ScanTools app.
StoryScans talking photos are easy to share. The small file contains both sight and sound and won't get separated when sending via email, posting on social media, or uploading to the cloud. The Flip-Pal Toolbox 4 software includes automated uploads to your account on Facebook, Picassa, Dropbox, or Evernote. On your mobile devices, use your favorite apps to share. StoryScans files are supported universally and do not require an additional player.

Villa are only one point above the Barclays Premier League's bottom three ahead of the home encounter with fellow strugglers Southampton.
A lengthy injury list has deprived Lambert of several experienced players and he is aware of the need to strengthen before the end of the month.
But Lambert, who spent £23million during the summer transfer window, also knows the club club "cannot go bursting into major debt."
He said: "I understand the finances of it. The club cannot go into major debt. It's got to watch itself.
"It's something I'll meet head-on. I don't know how much, off the top of my head, the chairman (Randy Lerner) has put into the club. I'm pretty sure it's not light.
"I've spoken to him. There are one or two lads there that we will try to get. A lot is dictated by finance. We need a bit of strength in the middle of the pitch.
"Prices in January can be so inflated that you can pay through the nose for someone, and it's a guy you maybe don't want at the club.
"We have to build this club and not let it go back to what has happened before."

Heart of Darkness
by Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness Charlie Marlow Quotes
Quote 67
"It seemed to me that the house would collapse before I could escape, that the heavens would fall upon my head. But nothing happened. The heavens do not fall for such a trifle." (3.86)
By the end of the novel, Marlow has come to some conclusions about the world: it's ultimately indifferent to good and veil. There are no gods to pass judgment; there's no punishment for a tiny little lie. Hm. Is that a freeing realization—or is it just super depressing?
Quote 68
[Marlow to the Intended]: "'The last word he pronounced was - your name.'" (3.85)
This one's tricky. Marlow is lying and lying's wrong, right? Well, yes. Except that he does it to preserve the Intended's lovely illusion of Kurtz. It could be considered an act of mercy—unless you think that it's just another excuse for slavery and coercion.
Quote 69
"'You knew him best,' I repeated. And perhaps she did. But with every word spoken the room was growing darker, and only her forehead, smooth and white, remained illumined by the unextinguishable light of belief and love." (3.56)
As the Intended doubles down on her lies, the darkness grows. We're pretty sure it's a metaphorical darkness.

I'm currently having a strange thing happening on my WordPress site. I have a theme that supports custom menus and I even set-up one with no problems about two months ago. But, now I'm trying to add a new page and it isn't working.
I check the page I want to add to the menu, click "Add to Menu", and the little spinning wheel just sits there forever. I even took my lunch break (an hour), came back and it was still just spinning. I've tried several different things to fix it, like different browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and two different computers. I then tried disabling all plugins. Still doesn't work.
I can't seem to figure out why this is doing this. I have several other wordpress sites, many with the same theme and plugins, and I'm having no problems on those sites.

However, he didn't sound optimistic his next scan this week will reveal significant changes to the status of his injured collarbone.
"I think you can probably guess," Rodgers said on his weekly ESPN radio show.
"I have an idea what it's going to look like based on the previous one, the amount of days we have between scans, project that forward to a similar amount of days and have a pretty good idea and provide over-radiation."
Rodgers has been sidelined since suffering a fractured collarbone on his non-throwing left side early in the November 4 loss to the Chicago Bears.
- -
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said that Pittsburgh will worry about Rodgers when the Green Bay Packers decide the quarterback's status for Sunday game.
"We are not going to worry about (Rodgers) until we find out for sure," Tomlin said, adding that practices will focus on scheme, not one quarterback or the other.
- -
Cincinnati Bengals punter Kevin Huber will have surgery to repair his broken jaw, the team announced.
Huber, who was placed on injured reserve, sustained a broken jaw and cracked vertebrae when popped by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Terence Garvin during a first-quarter punt return in Sunday night's 30-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- -
The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed wide receiver Cecil Shorts and guard Will Rackley on injured reserve.
Shorts, who leads the Jaguars with 66 catches for 777 yards, battled a groin injury for much of the season. Rackley missed two games earlier this year with a concussion.
- -
The Denver Broncos have signed free agent defensive end Jeremy Mincey, who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars last week for being late to a team meeting.
Mincey is expected to be on the practice field Wednesday.
- -
Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley has been ruled out to play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers because of an injured right calf.
Woodley also could also miss the regular-season final against the Cleveland Browns.
- -
Dallas Cowboys middle linebacker Sean Lee could miss the rest of the 2013 season with a sprained ligament in his neck.
Lee was injured at Chicago in the Cowboys' loss on Dec. 9 and practiced two days in preparation for Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers. But Friday he was ruled out with nagging discomfort.
Lee is expected to be evaluated further this week but surgery was not considered necessary.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has said his knee is fine and he expects to be ready to go Sunday.
Flacco took a hit on his left knee from linebacker DeAndre Levy of the Detroit Lions, but Levy was not penalized.
"It was more probably scary than anything, just from what I felt," Flacco said. "And also trying to get a couple yards out of (the hit). It feels fine. It feels strong."
