If you plan on studying abroad, but don't have a scholarship that can cover all of your expenses, you might have to consider getting a part-time or full-time job. It can be a great way to maintain a steady income allowing you to tackle academic challenges without worrying about money. Wonderlic Test Prep is here to help. They have found the 6 best countries in which you can work while studying.
The main problem that international students face is not being allowed to work while studying. One country which makes it practically impossible for international students to obtain a working permit is Italy. In theory, you can work while studying, but it is very difficult. Other countries like China allow foreign students to work but make the application process for a working permit pretty tricky. The United States also have very complicated laws and strict rules when it comes to working while studying. In some countries, like Costa Rica, international students are banned from working while studying.
Luckily, there are plenty of countries, which offer a great education and also let international students work part-time, while attending university. Some have relatively high restrictions while others are quite lenient. The following countries all make it easy for students to earn some extra money. Here are the six top countries for immigrant students who need to work while studying.
1. Sweden
Sweden is a great place to live and also a great place to study. Sweden has lots of high ranking universities, and while you won't find it among the top ten countries when it comes to quality of the education system, it is still among the best choices in the world for international students.
The country is also pretty lenient when it comes to allowing international students to work. If you have a residence permit in Sweden (and you get one if you're studying there), there's no official limit on how many hours you can work. You can find out more about the topic here.
2. United Kingdom
Some of the best universities in the world are located in the UK, but the country has strict rules when it comes to working while studying. If you're a citizen of the EU, EEA (European Economic Area), or Switzerland there's no limit on the number of hours you can work per week, and there's no application process. You just need to let your employer know where you are from.
If you're from a country outside the EU, then the rules are a bit different. Firstly, you need a Tier 4 (General) Student Visa. And then there are still plenty of restrictions. You can check them out on the site of the University of Edinburgh. Here's what it says in a nutshell: you can work 20 hours per week if you're on a full-time programme at degree level or above or 10 hours per week if on a below degree level.
3. France
France is one of the best places to study if you're an international student and have a scholarship that covers all of your expenses. In case you have to work to cover up your costs, France is still the way to go. The good thing about France is that all international students are allowed to work while studying.
They are limited per 964 hours a year (60 percent of the legal work year or about 19 hours per week), and if they are outside the EU, they must have a student resident permit. APT or temporary work permit is needed only for Algerian students. Everyone else can work without having one.
4. Canada
Canada is a beautiful country with some much to offer in the way of education, especially if you plan on staying there after your studies. The country makes it simple for foreign students hoping to stay and work in Canada after their studies. However, if you need to work while studying, the rules are pretty complicated, so we'll explain them in a bit more detail than we did for the other countries.
International students can work on campus if they are a full-time post-secondary student at:
- A public post-secondary school, such as a college or university
- The CEGEP in Quebec (a private college-level school in Quebec that operates under the same rules as public schools and is at least 50% funded by government grants)
- A Canadian private school that can legally award degrees under provincial law.
A study permit and a Social Insurance Number are also required. There's no limit in hours for on campus work.
If students want to work off campus without a work permit, they have a limit of 20 hours per week. Additionally, a study permit that allows them to work off campus is required (the information should be on the permit). They need to be full-time students at "a designated learning institution (DLI) and they need to be enrolled in a post-secondary academic, vocational or professional training program or a secondary-level vocational training program (in Quebec only)." It goes without saying that they also need to have a Social Security Number.
For students "enrolled in a program with English or French as the only second language (ESL/FSL)" or those enrolled in a general interest course, a valid work permit is mandatory to work off campus. Learn more about these many rules here.
5. Australia
If you manage to get a student visa and take a college course in Australia, we can tell you that not only can you work there while studying but any family members (family members included in student visa application) that are with you can also work while you study in the country. The same rules apply to both students and their family members.
While you study, all of you can work up to 20 hours per one week and full-time during vacations. And if you are a postgraduate research student, you can work full-time if you started a masters in research or a doctoral degree. The same rights apply to all your family members!
6. New Zealand
Last but not least, we have New Zealand. This country, like Sweden, doesn't have world famous universities but it offers an excellent education all the same. It is also one of the countries with the highest standard of living. Furthermore, applying for a student visa is pretty easy and straightforward.
If you want to work before you start your studies, you must check your eVisa or physical visa label that can be found in your passport for your working rights. These can also be found in a letter that comes with your student visa. If you cannot find your working rights, then you are not eligible to work.
If you have permission to work, you can work up to 20 hours a week if you're studying full-time for at least two years. Over the holidays, international students can work full-time. Also, Ph.D. and Masters (in research) students can work full-time without any restrictions. Find all about New Zealand work while studying rules here.

Red Pocket is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that offers plans on each of the Big Four networks (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon). Red Pocket's services on AT&T's network and Verizon's network are unusually well-priced. Customers who are willing to purchase 360 days of service upfront can get even better prices on service purchased through Red Pocket's eBay store.
I initially trialed Red Pocket's service that runs over Verizon's network. I had trouble activating my phone and then had a negative experience communicating with customer support. Since trialing the service, I've learned that many other people have had problems with Red Pocket's service over Verizon.
I don't currently recommend Red Pocket. That said, I am trialing Red Pocket service over AT&T's network to see if I have a better experience. Despite my negativity, Red Pocket may still be worth trialing if you want a low price for service over AT&T or Verizon's network, and you're willing to gamble on the possibility of a bad experience. If service over T-Mobile's network is acceptable to you, I strongly recommend Mint Mobile as an alternative.
My experience
Purchasing service
In April of 2019, I went to Red Pocket's website, navigated to the monthly plans page, and saw the following options:
The plans with relatively small allotments of data, texts, and minutes, have identical prices regardless of the network used. For plans with large allotments, the CDMA service (service over Verizon's network) offers less data at any given price point than service over other networks.
I selected the $15 plan with Red Pocket's CDMA service. I ended up paying $0.25 in tax beyond the $15 base price.[1] I didn't have to pay any extra for the SIM card or shipping.
Activating service
Several days later, I received my SIM card and some introductory materials from Red Pocket:
The SIM card came in the standard 3-in-1 style.[2] I inserted the SIM card into my Motorola G6 Play and went to RedPocket.com/Start to activate service. On that page, I entered the ICCID that came along with my SIM card. Next, I was prompted to enter my device's IMEI. I was surprised that Red Pocket didn't conspicuously explain how a customer could find his or her IMEI. While that wasn't a problem for me, I could see this step confusing some customers. Instructions for finding an IMEI could be pulled up by clicking "Need help?" on the activation page then clicking another item labeled: "If you are using a CDMA phone or device." I don't think requiring those two clicks to view instructions was a good design choice. Many people who don't know what an IMEI is will also not know whether they have a CDMA device.
After entering my IMEI, I confirmed some personal information (e.g., my address) and finished the activation. This was when problems started.
Activation problems
After completing the online activation process, I was able to send texts. I didn't have data service yet, so I adjusted my phone's settings in an unsuccessful attempt to make the data service work. Red Pocket's website suggested I should place a test call after the online activation, so I eventually did that. When placing a call, I didn't directly connect with the recipient. Instead, I heard some activation-related messages. I was told to press "1" if I wanted my messaging language to be set to English and then told in Spanish to press "2" if I wanted the messaging language set to Spanish. When I pressed "1", I was told I had entered an invalid input. After multiple calls and several attempts at pressing "1", I decided to try and go through the activation in Spanish by pressing "2". I still got the invalid input message.
Calling support
Since I was struggling, I called the customer service line. I connected immediately with a Red Pocket support agent without being put on hold. To get started, I had to share a bit of information to verify my identity. One item I had to share was the last four digits on my SIM card. I thought that was a bit odd and inconvenient.
The Red Pocket agent said it sounded like my phone was not actually unlocked. I insisted that my phone was unlocked. I explained that I'd bought the phone unlocked from a third-party seller and had previously used it on multiple networks with several different carriers. The support agent was not convinced. He confirmed that my service appeared to be activated then tried resetting the service. The reset did not solve my problems. Every few minutes, the agent reiterated that he thought my phone was not unlocked. While I told him multiple times that the phone was not purchased from Verizon or branded with Verizon's logo, the agent repeatedly told me I should call Verizon to confirm the phone was unlocked.
After some time, the conversation became confusing. From my perspective, the agent was telling me that my phone was probably not working because it was locked and that Red Pocket could only guarantee good service on Verizon's network if I initially purchased the device from Verizon (which I hadn't). After about 20 minutes, the agent and I agreed that we should end the call so I could try the SIM card in another device.
Dealing with the activation issue
I switched the SIM card into another device (this device was unlocked & Verizon-branded). I did not immediately have data service, so I went ahead and made a test call. I was promoted with the same information about setting my messaging language. This time, when I pressed "1", everything worked as expected. After completing the call, my service was fully active. I switched the SIM card back into my original phone, a Motorola G6 Play, and everything worked fine.
I'm baffled by the "invalid input" issue. The G6 and G6 Play are common phones. I don't think the issue I experienced should have been rare or obscure if it was device-related. I'm also not sure why an additional step was necessary after the online activation process.
My experience with Red Pocket was the most frustrating I've had while activating service with an MVNO. I don't think most Red Pocket subscribers experience the issue I had or the sort of unproductive interactions with customer support that I had. That said, issues may not be uncommon with Red Pocket's Verizon service. Joe Paonessa of BestMVNO.com shares troubles he experienced in part of his review of Red Pocket. Several people commenting on this review have also mentioned problems with Red Pocket's Verizon's service.
A comment I found on HowardForums after my Red Pocket trial mentioned a method that might solve the issue for some people. This comes from forum user MWink:
Using the service
During my trial of Red Pocket, speeds were all over the place. I did not identify any obvious throttling. Here are a few screenshots from unsystematic speed tests:
Trying Red Pocket Again
I really wanted to like Red Pocket, and I especially liked the idea of Red Pocket's ultra-low-cost plan sold through the Red Pocket eBay store. This plan offered 100 minutes, 100 texts, and 500mb of data each month for only $60 per year. I decided to purchase this plan and give Red Pocket another chance. Given my bad experience with the Red Pocket service over Verizon, I selected service over AT&T's network. The SIM card shipped for free, and I had an eBay coupon that brought the total price down to just $54 for a year of service.
Activating the AT&T-based service was much less problematic. I'm still trialing the service, so I plan to update this review once I've used it a bit longer.
Red Pocket's eBay store deals
Red Pocket has an eBay store. At the moment, Red Pocket sells 360-day service options through its eBay store that are not available for purchase via the Red Pocket website. Below, you can find some of the notable options that were available as of 4/30/2019. Except where noted otherwise, each option was available on any of the Big Four networks and included free shipping. The quantities of texts, minutes, and data indicate monthly allotments.
360 days of service:
- $60 – 100 minutes, 100 texts, 500MB of data
- $99 – 500 minutes, 500 texts, 500MB of data
- $169 – 1000 minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB of data
- $205 – unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB of data
- $229 – unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, 2GB of data
- $240 – unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, 5GB of LTE data, additional data at reduced speeds (no option for Verizon's network)
- $399 – unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, 10GB of LTE data, additional data at reduced speeds (no option for Verizon's network)

Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) – How The Right Words Make Your Website Work
By Lyle Laaks In Copywriting & Content Creation On August 3, 2017
There's something perverse about SEO. It's technical, highly complex and, as soon as you smugly think you've finally (sort of) got the hang of it, some other sneaky little three-lettered abbreviation Ninjas its way into proceedings. It's like the JAWS of the digital marketing world. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, daaaa dum…..daaaa dum…. oh look here comes Latent Semantic Indexing.
It's just as well SEO works so darn well or we really wouldn't like it very much at all!
And that is the absolute truth of it – SEO does work well. Really well, in fact. And if you're not making the best use of it, then you are missing out on one of the best marketing opportunities to come around in a very long time.
Because we're so passionate about SEO – and digital strategy in general – we want to spread a little of the love around (we're awesome like that). We know that the more you know and understand about the process – even if you're a newbie – the more you'll appreciate the truly amazing things it can do for your business.
So let's get stuck into showing you how you can turn your humble web pages into a flashing neon sign of irresistible magnetism for search engines.
One of the ways to do this is with Latent Semantic Indexing.
What is Latent Semantic Indexing?
Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is very helpful if you're a search engine, and it's absolutely fantastic if you're a website. Why? Because it gives search engines a far better understanding of what people are actually looking for when they type in a specific search query. It also helps them "see" more clearly what a website is all about. This means that they can deliver more relevant, accurate and appropriate search results.
Latent Semantic Indexing does all this by using a specific, and very clever, part of the overall search algorithm. It not only identifies the words in a search but also finds words related to the original search words. It can identify synonyms, and understand the relationship between words, LSI gives search engines the tools it needs to interpret websites more comprehensively. This, in turn, gives you a far better user experience.
The Evolution of The Keyword
Search engines are very clever, and they are continually getting cleverer, but, let's face it, they're not people. They don't process information in the same way we do, and they can't use context or association to understand language.
People, for example, can hear the phrase "SMS bundle" or "free app to download" and know that the conversation concerns smartphones – without actually hearing the word "smartphone".
Search engines? Not so much.
Traditionally, search engines processed queries very literally. If you wanted information about different smartphone packages available, for example, you would have to use specific keywords so that the search engines knew exactly what you were looking for.
The beauty of Latent Semantic Indexing is that it gives your search context so that search engines have a better understanding of what you want to know. How? By using LSI keywords – which are actually terms or phrases – that are related semantically to the main keyword.
So a website with the main keyword phrase "cell phone packages" might have the LSI keywords "free data," "network option" or "smartphone choices". These LSI Keywords give context to your website. They expand its reach and increase its chances of being found by search engines.
Happy days.
How Do I Know What LSI Keywords To Use?
Great question! And fortunately, one that's not difficult to answer. There are several methods you can use to find LSI keywords, including:
Google's "Related Searches."
You may not have a clue what that is, but bear with us, you're about to find out.
Try this right now:
Go to Google and enter your primary search keyword, then look at what happens when you press enter. Let's say our primary keyword was smartphones. When you type that into Google's search bar, you get a page of search results. Scroll down to the bottom of that page, and you'll find a very handy little box called "Searches related to Smartphones".
Among these, you'll find "smartphones price list," "sim free smartphones," "smartphones for sale" and "smartphone definition". These are all commonly searched-for phrases, so are automatically phrases you want to include in your website content. (Provided, of course, you have a website that is primarily about smartphones!)
But you get the idea. Whatever primary keyword you want to be "found" for, using the Related Searches phrases throughout your content is like putting a lumo vest of awesomeness on your website – Pow! Suddenly you're a whole lot more visible to search engines than you were before.
Google Keyword Planner
This is as easy as creating a Google Adwords account (which can be linked to any existing Google account, such as Gmail, for example), and typing your primary keyword into the keyword planner.
Once you've done this, click on the tab that says "Ad group ideas". Then click on the group that relates as closely as possible to your content's topic. Preferably one with a lot of average monthly searches and not much competition. The keyword list you then see is a great source of potential LSI keywords.
Keyword Generator for Latent Semantic Indexing
There are many free LSI tools which do exactly what they say on the tin! All you have to do is enter your keyword into the search area of the generator and you'll get a comprehensive list of possible LSI keywords.
Okay, So Now What?
Don't worry, we won't get you all dressed up and then leave you with nowhere to go! Once you have your list of potential LSI keywords, there is all sorts of fun stuff you can do with them:
Choose Wisely
Choose the keywords that will fit best into your content. If you're writing about "The 10 Best Apps For Your Smartphone" don't pick the LSI keyword "smartphone prices". It's also important to think about who is likely to be searching for your website, and why. Are they looking for information? What problem do they have and how can you solve it?
Getting more in touch with your potential customers through aligning your keywords with their search habits will help you attract the right people to your page.
Work Your Website
Once you've decided on a few relevant LSI keywords, you need to make sure they appear throughout your website content. There are many ways you can do this in addition to just using them in your actual copy. Remember the golden rule here, though – no keyword stuffing! Stuffing is for cushions and pillows. And, if you're that way inclined, for your roast chicken, but it's definitely not for websites!
In addition to your web page copy, LSI keywords can be used in header tags, meta title tags, subheadings, meta descriptions and anchor text.
In all the excitement of using newly discovered LSI keywords, don't forget to make sure your primary keyword is still the boss! So use that one as a priority and work your LSI keywords around it.
At Mind Map Marketing, we know a lot about LSI and how you can use it to make your website pop.
Actually, we know quite a bit about Digital Marketing in general and SEO in particular. So if you're looking for help with improving the visibility and rankings of your website, chat to us.
We're lovely. Just saying.

Load Up On Pigs In A Blanket As Cheaper Pork Prices Loom
Published on Sep 26 2017 8:40 AM in Supply Chain tagged: Trending Posts / US Retail / meat prices / Pork
While meat costs in the US tend to drop as summer wraps up, this year the declines are more pronounced. Wholesale pork has fallen to the lowest seasonally since 2009, which could bring down grocery-store bills.
Carnivores can thank a boom in US production for cheaper grocery bills, with output expected to reach an all-time high in 2017. There are signs that prices will stay low. December hog futures are on pace for a third straight monthly loss, and hedge funds have lowered their bets on a rebound in five of the past six weeks.
"There's no shortage of meat," said Don Roose, president of US Commodities in West Des Moines, Iowa. "The retail price is probably going to stay under pressure."
American pork production is forecast to rise 3.6% this year, with even more meat coming in 2018, according to the US Department of Agriculture. Beef and chicken output are also climbing as steady corn prices keep feed costs low for livestock producers.
Hog futures for December settlement slumped 3.2% in Chicago last week. They were down 0.4% at 56.4 cents a pound at 8:55 am local time Monday.
Wholesale Meat Prices
Speculators aren't showing much enthusiasm for a rally. Investors' net-long position, or the difference between bets on a price increase and wagers on a decline, rose just 1.6% to 56,732 futures and options contracts in the week ended September 19, according to US Commodity Futures Trading Commission data released three days later. What's more telling: the holdings are down 33% from this year's high in mid-July.
Wholesale meat prices typically start to fall in mid-summer as buying for the grilling season wanes. Pork has tumbled about 30% from its July peak, and pork-bellies - the cut used for bacon - have dropped almost 60%. That could curb costs at the grocery store, when tend to lag wholesale declines. In August, retail bacon was a record $6.241 a pound. And while chops are down from historical highs, prices also ticked up at supermarket coolers last month.
Expanding supplies signal lower costs ahead. Total US meat output may top 100 billion pounds for the first time ever this year.
US pork processors are adding plants in the Midwest, and capacity may rise as much as 10% by mid-2019, according to a June report from CoBank, an agricultural lending cooperative based in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Hog-slaughter weights have been rising recently, which adds to production. The USDA is scheduled to release its latest figures on the domestic hog herd in a report next week.
While wholesale costs for the commodity are heading for a fourth month of declines, investors are signalling they're preparing for a turnaround. The cattle net-long position rose 5.3% last week to 86,652 contracts, the CFTC data show. That marked a second straight gain, the longest streak since the end of May.

I want to be with the nice guy. The guy who will not break my heart because he will like me first, he will call first, and he will say "I love you" first. The guy who invests too much. The guy who talks about his feelings, commitment and a future with me in it. The guy who doesn't have mami issues, some crazy ex-girlfriend drama, or just a really bad series of failed relationships. The guy who says sorry even when it's not his fault. The guy who chooses me first.
I want to be with the guy I usually friend zone. The guy who will like me for me not for my body. The guy who will not take advantage of my giving nature because he will give back in return. The guy who my friends will get along with, not the one who my friends cannot stand. The guy who my parents respect, not the guy who they think I can do better than. The guy who I trust and count on. The guy who knows me more than most people do. The guy who sees my flaws and imperfections so beautiful. The guy who tells me I'm one of a kind just the way I am. But, still calls me out when I need to be called on. The guy who tells me the hard things to hear just like he tells me the soft ones that make my heart melt.
I want to be with the guy who isn't my type. The guy who is good enough for me. The guy who is in a good place in his life. The guy who knows who he is and what he wants. The guy who has finally found himself. The guy who makes me feel safe instead of anxious, confident instead of unsure, comfortable instead of excited. The guy who doesn't keep me on the edge.
I want to be with the safe option kind of guy because it's easier that way. I don't have to go on battles alone, I can live a mellow kind of life. I don't have to live the highs and the lows, I can just live in the medium place. I don't have to go crazy, I can just be okay. I don't have to be around drama, I can actually be in peace. I don't have to be an over-thinker, I can just have a blank mind for a change. I don't have to be on fire because of or for someone, I can just have a heart that's beating just fine.

today marks 18 weeks of pregnancy with Little Bit. In less than two weeks we'll hopefully find out if this person is a girl or boy! I am ridiculously excited to find out – even more than I was with Jackson, for some reason. 🙂 I really want to throw a "gender reveal" party for our close friends and family with pink and blue food, but I don't know if we can fit it in before I would explode with curiosity due to scheduling. lol. So we'll probably just find out and then celebrate/announce it later that day.
I feel like my belly has officially "popped" at right around the same time I did with Jackson – and I am on track for normal weight gain. Thanking God again for a (thus far) healthy, normal pregnancy.

I'm working on a Mary Jane Hall's Ballet Neck Sweater from her book Crochet That Fits. It's constructed side-to-side and I've never seen a sweater pattern made this way. So far I'm really liking how it's turning out. The stitches are all worked in half double crochet in the back loops only which is going to help the fabric drape nicely. Interestingly, I can see when I hold the finished pieces up they look like they've been knit. I'm not sure how I feel about the sweater looking like it has been knit to be honest because I like the look of crochet but … well, it's interesting. Not good or bad, just interesting. I'm trying to hold off on final judgment of the knit look thing until I've finished the sweater.
One thought on "Ballet Neck Sweater"
I"m WORKING ON THAT TOO! AND I LOVE IT SO FAR! I'M MAKING MINEIN SHORT SLEEVES!!!!!!

BISMARCK -- Fresh off a defeat at the North Dakota Democratic-NPL convention, former state Rep. Ben Hanson broadcast his support for the party's endorsed candidate in the U.S. House race Tuesday, March 20.
Hanson endorsed Grand Forks attorney Mac Schneider, the former minority leader in the state Senate. Saturday, he didn't immediately rule out a primary election challenge after losing the three-way endorsement contest.
"My good friend Mac is going to pick up where this campaign left off, traveling the state to visit with North Dakotans and doing the work to bring victory for Democrats up and down the ticket," Hanson said in a statement.
Schneider, in a statement, thanked Hanson for running a campaign with "integrity and class."
Hanson, of Fargo, launched his campaign in August, months before Schneider's entrance into the race in early March. Hanson said he'll continue to travel the state in support of the Democratic candidates through November's election.

Welcome one and all to the most intense nightly read anywhere on the sphere… The BitsBlog Nightly Ramble
This is the Green Beans Edition
- RECESSION? WHAT RECESSION? Surber says Durable goods orders are still off. It would appear that wishful thinking doesn't work in terms of ending a recession. You can't simply declare it over, economy to respond as such. You actually have to do something about it. Like, getting government out of the way the economy. The sad part is, had Obama done that, that is to say had he actually reduced government intrusion into our lives, and into our pocketbooks, this recession would have been over months ago. You know as well as I do he's not going to do that.
- ANOTHER DEMOCRAT UNDER AN ETHICS PROBE: Michelle Malkin fills us in. remember when this was about draining the swamp, Mrs. Pelosi?
- SPEAKING OF MICHELLE: Her new book didn't stay too long at Number 2. It's now number one. I note with pleasure that Mark Levin and Glenn Beck are also doing pretty well being in the top ten, as well. Gee… there seems a bit of a trend, here.
- THE DEATH OF REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT: Mark Steyn:
Thousand-page bills, unread and indeed unwritten at the time of passage, are the death of representative government. They also provide a clue as to why, in a country this large, national government should be minimal and constrained. Even if you doubled or trebled the size of the legislature, the Conyers conundrum would still hold: No individual can read these bills and understand what he's voting on.
No kidding, Mark. It's well said, but I have to tell you that this is an argument we've been making here, all along.
- SEE WE TOLD YOU SO: At PJM, Jen Rubin:
Polls show the public thinks Obama is spending too much and taking on too much power. It is not hard to conclude that Obama has been caught trying to pull off a bait and switch — he ran as a moderate and is governing as a left-winger. With ample evidence that they have been conned, the voters are now registering their disapproval.
The sad part of this is that it was also predictable. Those of us on the right were wanting this would happen. here is something for you to ponder; how far left does one have to be to make the Clinton presidency seem a moderate one? The answer, apparently, is "Obama"
- NO SHOCK HERE: Sonia Sotomayor made it past the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. It goes to the full Senate, now. Was there ever any real doubt about how this one was going to come out?
- EYEBROWS UP: You've gotta wonder about this suspicious death in Jersey, following the corruption arrests there. Something larger going on, I think.
- SYMPATHY: Our Sympathies to the Gateway Pundit, whose mother died earlier today. Why not click over there and drop a comment? I'm sure it'd be appreciated.

Dear all,
I just finished / I've just finished recording Cristina's work. We hope it's useful. Find this and other OPs by students here: http://www.talkingpeople.net/tp/skills/speaking/oralperformances/listofperformances.htm
Talking People is chaotic, there are also OPs (teamwork, mostly) here: http://www.talkingpeople.net/tp/yourstuff/texts/oralpresentations/index.html
On this page I included both links, to remind me of the need to merge these pages or something: http://www.talkingpeople.net/tp/skills/speaking/oralpresentations.htm
So I really need to spend time tidying up the site! But I never find the time!!! Sigh! Any ideas will be welcome!
Anyhow, bear with me! 🙂 ❤

Intelligence People the World over Support the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action AKA Iranian Nuclear Deal. Please Join Iddeenspeaks.com "Partners for Peace (PFP)" and call you Congressmen/women to demand that they support this deal…
I am amazed that some in the U.S. Congress have still not made up their minds about the Nuclear Deal with Iran. The U.S creditability as a global leader is on the line. Rejecting the Iranian deal would isolate Washington in ways that are clearly unforeseen. At a minimum, U.S. foreign policy goals will come under scrutiny.
Facts: Support for the Iranian Nuclear Deal Have Broad-based Support from Scientist, Intellectuals, and Security experts:1) More than 70 of the world's leading nuclear nonproliferation specialists issued a joint statement outlining why the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) "is a strong, long-term, and verifiable agreement that will be a net-plus for international nuclear nonproliferation efforts."
2) 29 U.S. Scientists Praise Iran Nuclear Deal in Letter to Obama
3) Three dozen retired generals and admirals Tuesday released an open letter supporting the Iran nuclear deal and urging Congress to do the same.
4) UN Security Council Approves Iran Nuclear Deal
5) Top Senate Democrat with Access to all Intelligence Data backs Iran Nuclear Deal.
6) The European Union approved the Iran nuclear deal with world powers.
7) Former Israeli Security Heads Support Iran Deal
8) In a recent U.S. poll, Voters within every gender, race, and age group are in support of it, reflecting the broad based mandate for the deal.
We must stand strong against the Bankers of War and the Military Industrial Complex. We cannot afford to let them win this time. A very large majority of people around the world are seeking global PEACE, and the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action" AKA Iranian Nuclear Deal is a strong step in the direction of PEACE.

On this week of MEIA, Joyce and I discuss a ton of random shit — including making a cooking show where we make great things in the microwave. LMAO!
Joyce's description is way funnier than anything I could write, though:
Hey guys – watch out, we have a #badbitchalert out for Marisa Mendez as her #badbitchmakeover is upon us. This week Joyce joins Mari and the two get right into Marisa's diet and her grand plans to get her life right come summer. This means car washes and cooking, you got this girl! We giving out free Weight Watchers knowledge on this episode, as well as some exclusive, definitely umm gourmet, microwave recipes. We also get into this week's trending topics – Gucci's new diversity initiatives and the college admissions scandal. Marisa is cooler than all of us and got to see Us movie twice already, but don't worry there are no spoilers.

Episode 107: "Six Degrees of Sexperation"


text:
The Jets have not beaten the New England Patriots since Week 16 of the 2015 season, but this year could be different.
Just ask Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman.
The Super Bowl LIII MVP has noticed what the Jets have done this offseason and expects Gang Green to be a challenge for the defending Super Bowl champions this upcoming season.
"They've got some new coaches and some really dynamic players and a young quarterback," he told George Willis of The Post on Monday. "They also have a defense that for some reason does real well against us. People ask me when I'm in New York about the Giants and the Jets. Those teams have always played us well. Now the Jets have [Adam] Gase and he's got some blueprints from Miami, where he beat us. It's going to be a tough matchup."
Gase was 2-4 against the Patriots as head coach of the Dolphins and now oversees a Jets team that added RB Le'Veon Bell and WR Jamison Crowder to an offense with second-year QB Sam Darnold, and LB C.J. Mosley and DT Quinnen Williams to a defense with Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams.
The moves have certainly positioned the Jets on paper as perhaps the biggest threat to dethrone the Patriots in the AFC East, which they have won 15 of the past 16 years.
At the very least, the Patriots will not be overlooking what the Jets have done this offseason.

I received the following email earlier today from our University's Office of Public Safety:
Federal authorities have notified colleges and universities in our region that threats of violence have been made against "an unspecified university near Philadelphia". The information includes a specific date of Monday, Oct. 5, 2015 at 2:00 pm. Authorities have no other knowledge of a specific threat.
After that email was sent out to the entire Villanova community, I began to receive emails from some of my students saying that they had discussed the matter with their parents, and have decided to skip class tomorrow.
I told the students that I understood the reason for their decision, and thanked them for letting me know.
Then a few hours later we received an updated email from public safety:
I have heard from a number of community members regarding the safety advisory that was sent out earlier today. Some have expressed concern about the safety of the campus tomorrow, and I am writing now to provide some additional information which will hopefully help alleviate some of the those concerns. The advisory to the Philadelphia-area colleges from federal authorities was sent, in their own words, "with an abundance of caution." It was sent to our university community in that same spirit.
Also with an abundance of caution, the Villanova is taking extra precautions, adding additional patrols and enlisting the assistance of the Radnor Police. Making people aware of the situation will also help encourage the reporting of any suspicious or unusual activity that could occur on campus.
Because the information the federal authorities received is not specific to Villanova University, we will be open tomorrow for classes and regular activities. We do not believe that cancelling normal activities in response to this unspecified information is warranted.
The University considers the safety of our students, faculty and staff of the utmost importance. Please be assured that we will continue to monitor the situation and make decisions consistent with our commitment to maintaining a safe living and learning environment.
It's a strange feeling when something like this hits so close to home.
The rational part of me realizes that the odds of anything happening are quite small, and there's probably more danger in my commute to campus than in teaching my classes.
But still, it's not always easy to think rationally, as Dan Ariely has brilliantly demonstrated in his books Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality.
I can't imagine what the frenzy must be like in the dorms across the Philly area. Since I started writing this blog a little over an hour ago, I have received another half dozen emails from students telling me that they will not be attending class tomorrow.
As of now, I plan to hold my classes, but I'm curious what my inbox will be like in the morning.
My admiration goes out to all the public safety officers across the region who will likely be working with a bit more diligence tomorrow, thank you for what you do.

Hello my dears!! I apologize for leaving you hanging for a few days there. We've had a house guest since Saturday, so I haven't been taking pics of my food. Last night, I made my first potroast! This is something my mom used to make a lot when I was a kid, so it was a total trip back in time! I don't have a pic, but it was soooo good! Boneless chuck roast with potatoes, onions, and carrots, cooked in the oven for almost 2 hours. The only bad thing about this meal is it will make your house smell like roast and onions for dayssss. I used to get mad at my mom as a kid because I would smell like potroast the next day at school haha.
So anyway, today I made a big pot of soup. Yeah, I'm still on the soup kick! This stuff did not disappoint. It was smooth, cheesy and very flavorful even with NO salt or pepper added. Give this one a try, it's super easy and makes a huuuge pot of soup!
Broccoli Cheese Soup
Based on this recipe and its reviews
- 1/4 cup butter (4 Tbsp)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 big heads of fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
- 2 (32 ounce) cartons chicken broth (you won't use it all)
- 1 pound Velveeta, cut into small cubes
- handful of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, about 1/2 – 2/3 cup
- 2 cups milk (I used 1%)
- scant 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- Melt the butter in a large soup pot. Add the onions and saute until soft and translucent.
- Stir in the broccoli, then add 1 full carton of broth and about 1/4 of the other carton, just enough to cover the broccoli. Bring to a soft boil / simmer and cook until broccoli is just tender.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the cheese slowly so it doesn't clump. Stir until cheese is melted. Add the sharp cheddar and let that melt.
- Stir in the milk and garlic powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together about half of the remaining broth and the cornstarch to make a slurry. Stir this into the soup.
- Bring soup back to a boil just for a minute or so, stirring constantly until soup thickens. Remove from heat and serve. **Do not leave soup unattended on the heat, or the cheese and milk will stick/burn on the bottom of the pan.


text: Further to the announcement on January 14th, the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) commenced its investigation into possible freight rail services issues in the Vancouver area in December 2018 and January 2019 by holding oral hearings on January 29th & 30th. Participants provided oral submissions to a 3-person Panel, presided by CTA Chair and CEO Mr. Scott Streiner. Participants expressed concern that recent embargo and permitting systems discriminated against some commodities, congestion and delays of export cargo arriving at terminal was having an economic impact on shippers, and a lack of empty marine containers had delayed unloading of rail cars. The three railways appearing before panel, BNSF, CP Rail and CN Rail indicated that any operational measures undertaken during the time frame being investigated were to address a surge of volumes and did not constitute a service failure. The CTA has 90 days to complete the investigation.

I was approached to design a logo for a new committee…
Our executive director came to me and said, "We need to have a design made for this new program." I was honored that he was going to pay me for a service that I could have promoted in our local chamber. Part of my design process is to learn more about the direction and how it is to be used. I have been telling quite a large number of contacts, "I could design you a pretty logo but is it going to be functional and are you going to question the design in 6 months to a year down the road."
I sat down and discussed more about the project with two women that were on the committee. I went through my creative brief questionnaire with them and found alot of holes in the project direction. I submitted a proposal to the director and followed up with a phone call. He said, "Mike, I just need a logo!" It sounded like that he wanted something inexpensive and created immediately. I begrudgingly said, "Terry, I can make you a pretty logo for $XXX.XX!" I wasn't happy about my response but deep down inside I didn't feel like I was going to be proud of my task at hand. In the end could I really say, "This design was well thought out and very functional."
Needless to say, Terry never called me back. This is the design that they came up with:
and here is one of the places that they are using it:
Personally, this doesn't work for me way too much going on and too many colors. I thought that I would share this beautiful web site layout by Baker and Spice Bakery. Very clean and beautifully designed. I would be proud to show this in my portfolio.

It was a bitterly cold Christmas eve in Korea in 1952. A pregnant young mother, Bak Yoon, hobbled through the snow toward the home of a missionary friend where she knew she could find help. Tears of sorrow froze on her face as she mourned her husband. He had recently been killed in the Korean War, and she had no one else to turn to.
A short way down the road from her missionary friend's house was a deep gully spanned by a bridge. As Bak Yoon stumbled forward, birth pains suddenly overcame her. She fell, realizing that she could go no further, and crawled under the end of the bridge. There, alone, under the bridge, her baby boy was born. Bak Yoon had nothing with her except her heavy, padded clothes. One by one she removed all pieces of her clothing and wrapped them around her tiny son, still connected to her body by his umbilical cord. Then feeling exhausted she lay back in the snow beside her baby.
The next morning Miss Watson, long-time missionary, drove across the bridge in her car to take a Christmas basket of food to a needy Korean family. On her way back, as she got near the bridge, the car sputtered and died - out of gasoline. She got out of the car and started across the bridge. Through crunching snow under her feet she heard another sound - a baby's faint cry. She stopped, unbelieving, and heard the cry again. "It's coming from beneath this bridge!"
She crawled under the bridge to investigate and there she found a tiny, bundled baby, warm but hungry, and young Bak Yoon frozen in death. With a knife from her tool box she cut the cord and took the baby home with her. After caring first for the child, she, along with some helpers, brought Bak Yoon's body back to near where she lived and buried her there.
She named the baby Soo Park, and adopted him. He was strong and healthy and so grew up among many other orphan children that Miss Watson cared for. But to her, Soo Park was special. She often told him, "Your mother had great love for you, Soo Park," and about how she had proved that love. He never tired of hearing of his beautiful mother.
On Christmas day, his 12th birthday, snow was falling. After the children had helped Soo Park celebrate his birthday, he came and sat beside Miss Watson. "Mother Watson, do you think God made your car run out of gasoline the day you found me?" he asked. "Perhaps He did," she answered. "If that car hadn't stopped, I would not have found you. But I am so glad it stopped. I love you and am very proud of you, Soo Park." She put her arms around him.
He rested his head against her. "Mother Watson, will you please take me out to my mother's grave? I want to pray there. I want to thank her for my life." "Yes, but put on your heavy coat. It's very cold." Beside the grave, Soo Park asked Mother Watson to wait at a little distance. She walked aside and waited.
As the astonished missionary watched, the boy began to take off his warm clothing, piece by piece. "Surely he won't take off all his clothing", she thought. "He'll freeze!" But the boy stripped himself of everything, laid it all on his mother's grave, and knelt naked and shivering in the snow.
She waited one minute, two minutes. Then she put her gloved hand on his snow covered shoulder. "Come, Soo Park. Your mother in Heaven sees how much you love her. I will help you dress." Then in deep sorrow he cried out to the mother he never knew: "Were you colder than this for me, my mother?" And he wept bitterly because he knew of course, she was.
Jesus stripped himself of His royal garments to come and live among us. Was He that cold for us? Surely we never have to wonder if He loves us, or even how much He loves us. He demonstrated that to us over 2000 years ago.
Celebrate in His love.

So should everyone be doing this kind of testing? How should a person decide it it's worth it?
Good question - again this may vary from company to company, so something important to ask when considering your testing options. Usually this should be outlined in the patient consent form.
Another question from social: "Are patient results used in any other way than to inform their individualized pain management?"
Well the testing itself only analyzes genes, not drugs. So if there is a lack of scientific evidence that links having a certain gene variant with response to certain drugs, then testing will not be able to provide any recommendations regardless of the test result. As well, if a drug is not metabolized in the body by enzymes/proteins which are coded for by the genes than testing will generally not be able to provide any recommendations for that drug.
Are you aware of any common pain medications for which pharmacogenomic testing CANNOT be done?
Some common medications used to treat pain with pharmacogenomic linkages include: codeine, tramadol, oxycodone, hydrocodone, celecoxib, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, duloxetine.
What are some of the common pain meds that this kind of testing can be used for?
There are no risks to taking the test.
However there are limitations which you should be aware of and ask about before getting tested. Good questions to ask would be what genes and drugs are covered by a test as it will vary between the different companies/tests.
Typically an HSA may be a benefit offered as part of your employer's benefit package. Also a good point from that definition is that CRA typically only recognizes a test that is prescribed by a physician, hence why it's a good idea to check with your plan to see if they will cover a pharmacogenomic test and under which conditions.
Someone from Facebook asks: "are there any major risks associated with getting this test done?"
@bryce.wong Thank you!
Here is a google'd definition -
A Health Spending Account is a group benefit that provides reimbursement for a wide range of health-related expenses, over and above regular benefit plans. HSA's are administered in accordance with Canada Revenue Agency guidelines.
That's a good point RPh1982 - if you do have an Health Spending Account the test may be eligible for coverage, but I would just double check with your plan to see if they will cover the cost of the test.
@RPh1982 Are you able to explain in more detail what a Health Spending Account is?
@RPh1982 Okay, thanks
Although the costs are not covered by MSP you may be able to claim them through a Health Spending Account if you have that kind of benefit as part of an Extended Health plan.
Unfortunately, right now the tests are not covered under MSP.
@Clearwater The costs are not covered by MSOP but you may be able to claim them through a Health Spending Account if you have that kind of benefit as part of an Extended Health plan.
@bryce.wong Are any of the costs covered by MSP?
The costs range from $149 to $499.

This is my first semester at OSF. I love OSF because it doesn't feel like regular school. My brand is Gobz. Gobz exists to unleash people's dark side/inner mischievous being. I always been fascinated by goblins, ever since I was little. I like goblins because they are mischievous and I can relate to that. I'm inspired by the Green Goblin from Spider Man and fantasy themed artwork like Dungeons and Dragons.
To make this board I pressed Canadian maple veneers in a vacuum bag. Then I belt sanded it smooth on the edges, bevelled the edges and sanded the surface. The graphic was made by an 8 layer tape stencil. I chose green and black because those are my signature colours. My shoes, my board, my room- everything is black and green. I used purple as a background colour because it makes the goblin face pop. The speckles add texture and tone to make it a more interesting background.
Making this board was fun. Next time I will be more patient and take more time in-between layers. I will also plan out my stencils a little more. I think my board turned out good and I'm proud of it.

How to Survive Being Swallowed by Another Animal
The beetles may have been taken by surprise, but they still managed to unleash their payloads from inside their attackers' stomachs. The chemicals were never fatal, but they were unpleasant enough to force many of the toads to regurgitate the beetles. Toads have no gag reflex, though, so they can't vomit in the same way that we can. Their only option is to turn their stomachs inside-out—a process that takes around 45 minutes.
Even within the environmental movement, there's a fraught and often ugly debate over people like Mitchell, who radically change their lives to fight climate change. Critics say they are wasting their time and scaring away the critical audience of the unconverted. Major voices in the climate movement are dismissive of the choice to, say, forego a major flight. Why sacrifice, they chide; focus on what matters.
Planets Outside Our Galaxy Have Been Discovered For The First Time
The galaxy lies almost half-way between us and the quasar RXJ 1331-1231. The galaxy's gravity creates a lens, whose effects vary as the objects within it move. Examination of the spectrum of light from the quasar makes clear the lens is made up of millions of individual objects, all shifting relative to each other, rather than a single gravitational well.
Keeping the world below 2°C of warming needs tech we don't have
In the two-degrees emissions scenarios, these techniques have to start soaking up at least 11 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year around 2050 in order to offset our continued emissions. If we bank on that future offset, but it fails to materialize, we will find that it's too late to cut our emissions and limit global warming to two degrees Celsius.

Mancini's title hopefuls travel to Sunderland on New Year's Day before hosting Liverpool on January 3.
City then face arch-rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup and have a two-legged Carling Cup semi-final with Liverpool as well as games against Wigan and Tottenham before the end of the month, and Mancini said: "It is impossible to play in two days with the same players, this is sure."
He added: "January will be a key month. We will have important games - FA Cup, Carling Cup, four in the Barclays Premier League. I think this month will be very important."
City saw their two-point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League wiped out as they were held to a goalless draw at West Brom on Boxing Day.
They now lead the table only on goal difference from Manchester United and could even be second by the time they kick off at the Stadium of Light as Sir Alex Ferguson's men return to action on Saturday.
Mancini anticipates a tight battle with the neighbours throughout the winter and spring and believes the final reckoning could all come down to their derby clash in April.
United travel to the Etihad Stadium for their third to last game on April 28 and Mancini said: "If we are strong enough, I think it will be decided with the game at home, probably."
Mancini expects right-back Micah Richards to be fit for Sunderland after being rested at West Brom due to a calf problem, while left-back Aleksandar Kolarov is also coming back into contention after six games out with a groin injury.
Mancini said: "We didn't want to take any risk with Micah because we play a lot of games in the first 10 days of January. It is better. Kolarov is okay - it is the same situation."

- 1 recipe Perfect Chocolate Cake baked and cooled
for the cherry filling-
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups frozen tart cherries + extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
for the whipped cream-
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 6 tablespoons chocolate syrup divided
- The first thing to do is make the cake using this recipe! Let the 2-8 inch cakes cool completely.
- For the cherry filling, stir sugar and cornstarch together in a cold small pot until combined. Add in cherries and toss. Place over medium-low heat to melt frozen cherries. Once a paste has formed around the cherries, increase the heat to medium and keep stirring until all the liquid has come out of the cherries and mixture is boiling. Continue to stir until it becomes very thick, about 4 minutes or boiling. Be careful to not walk away from this mixture because it can burn easily. Remove from heat and stir in butter and almond extract. Cool completely.
- For the cream, whip heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Aggrey is busy learning the alphabet.
The 6-year-old grips a foam letter Z inside the Deafblind Unit at Buckley High School in Iganga, Uganda. He feels around to find the matching cutout shape, and when he fits the right pieces together his face lights up with a wide grin.
Aggrey, who is deafblind, is one of approximately 43,000 students in Uganda with special needs benefiting from a literacy program managed by Perkins International.
Since 2015, Perkins International has administered the special education component of the Uganda School Health and Reading Program, a U.S. government-funded initiative designed to improve reading and health education.
Perkins has trained hundreds of teachers, administrators and school inspectors, equipping them with specialized skills they need to support children with disabilities – including those with visual impairment, multiple disabilities and deafblindness.
"It's our role to ensure children with disabilities are included," said Angela Affran, Perkins International's Africa programs coordinator. "Literacy is key to help children like Aggrey grow up and lead more independent lives. We are already seeing positive results."
Currently, many children in Uganda aren't learning to read and write. In this developing East African nation, poverty is widespread and class sizes are large. In one rural region the average class has 117 students, according to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which funds the School Health and Reading Program.
Children with disabilities face even steeper challenges. Many teachers lack the knowledge and skills required to meet their unique needs, so students who are blind or otherwise disabled are vulnerable to being excluded from classroom activities and falling behind.
Perkins International is working to change that, in cooperation with the Ugandan government.
Francis Odongo is one of four teachers at the Bishop Willis Demonstration School in Iganga who received special education training.
"This new knowledge has helped our teachers help their students with special needs," he said. "They now know how to assess student performance and decide which particular teaching method to use, depending on the student's disability."
In addition, Perkins International trained Bishop Willis' staff in brailler repair, and helped establish vocational training programs for students at the school's Resource Center for the Blind.
"Perkins has helped this younger generation of students obtain an education," said Odongo.
The School Health and Reading Program also includes a health education component focusing on HIV and AIDS prevention. Altogether, the educational initiatives funded by USAID have reached over 1.5 million children in 3,500 schools in Uganda since the program began in 2013. The five-year effort will end in May 2017.
"The world needs more well-trained teachers," said Michael Delaney, executive director of Perkins International. "With the help of USAID and the Ugandan government, we're doing our part to ensure that more children with disabilities receive the education they need to thrive."

HARMONTOWN, Miss. — Police arrested a Texas man Tuesday in the murder of a 21-year-old University of Mississippi student whose body was found near Oxford over the weekend.
The Lafayette County Sheriff's Department and The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrested Brandon Theesfeld in the killing of Ally Kostial, the sheriff's office said. Theesfeld is slated to make his initial court appearance Tuesday, police said.
Citing the ongoing investigation, the sheriff's office declined to release more details.
"We want to thank the family Alexandria for their patience and their trust," the department said.
Lafayette County sheriff's deputies found Kostial's body Saturday while they were on patrol near Sardis Lake, about 10 miles from the northern Mississippi campus, CNN affiliate KMOV reported. Her cause of death has not been released, according to CNN affiliate WMC.
Mississippi Bureau of Investigation Capt. John Poulos confirmed to CNN that state investigators are assisting the sheriff's office and referred additional questions about the case to county department.
The University of Mississippi Police Department and Oxford Police Department are also assisting in the case, WMC said.
Authorities previously said they were following multiple leads to determine how Kostial ended up near the lake, WMC reported.
Kostial was working toward a bachelor's degree in marketing, University of Mississippi Interim Chancellor Larry Sparks said in a statement.
"Ally was a valued member of our campus community," Sparks said. "We extend our deepest sympathy to her family, friends and classmates and stand ready to support them during this time."
Anna Pasco, one of Kostial's friends, told WMC she was shocked.
"She quite possibly was the nicest human being that I've ever met," Pasco told the affiliate. "It's just hard for me because all I can think about when I see her face is what she went through, what she was thinking, what she was saying. It's hard."

Parents' love for their children can make them do peculiar things. Like staying up until 1 a.m. gluing glitter on a second-grade class project. Or driving 40 miles to deliver a single soccer cleat. Or, perhaps, bribing their teenagers' way into a fancy college. But one of the weirdest things parents do is love their children more than their partners.
Before you call child services, let me be clear: Of course you have to love your kids. Of course you have to put their needs first. But doing so is also a no-brainer. Children, with their urgent and often tricky-to-ascertain needs, easily attract devotion. Spouses don't need to be fed and dressed or have their tears dried and are nowhere near as cute. Loving your kids is like going to school–you don't really have a choice. Loving your spouse is like going to college–it's up to you to show up and participate

Mom and Dad are redoing my playroom. I know what you're thinking:. That's so rude; They should keep it as it is forever as a shrine to their daughter. I completely agree.
Mom, on the other hand, does not think that she should have to spend the rest of her life with Cheerwine-resistant fabric on her couches.
We're not asking you to take sides. (I know you're on my side.)
The silver lining? I get to help with the redesign! Hooray! And I do agree that what I picked in 2003 is maybe not exactly as fabulous as it could be…
Mom has already covered the yellow walls with a soothing, pale blue, that perfect shade that you know we love. The ceiling fan is going, as the room will likely no longer be filled with sweaty teenagers. And you know we love a statement light fixture. We've picked a pair of gorgeous banana leaf chairs to replace the love seat, are recovering the tiny yellow, leather chairs–whose size and shape I am still crazy for–in a sweet blue pattern, and the new couch is in an extremely non-Cheerwine resistant white linen. Yes. It will be lovely.
Another thing we can agree on? Reading lamps! They are super chic on either end of a couch or over a big, cushy chair perfect for curling up with a favorite book. We just put a pair in my grandparent's new condo, and my grandmother loves them! (Guess whose books are her favorite? :))
So, no, my playroom will not be left intact to pay homage to my high school friends and all those happy memories forever. But I'm sure Mom and Dad will have lots of fun making new ones in my favorite room in the house! So what do you think? What's the statute of limitations on keeping your kids' rooms as they were?
We are so THRILLED by the number of beautiful homes we are going to have as a part of the Slightly South of Simple book tour for next April and May. If you might be interested in having the Slightly South of Simple tour come to your house (or town!), or would like more information, don't hesitate to email me at [email protected]

Seminar Descriptions
Session 1 – "Advanced Find My Past Strategies"
Richard Reid will introduce be covering several strategies to make better use of the data that can be found with a Find My Past subscription. There are several new features offered on this site as well as many that are free to access. The Find My Past repository is growing weekly by adding millions of new records for Ireland and Great Britain. Databases that you have checked before should be checked again as records are being added to databases that have been long known to the researcher.
Session 2 - "What's New at FamilySearch?"
FamilySearch is another database service that is well known to the genealogical researcher. It is one of Richard Reid's favorite places to start as it is free to all. FamilySearch is a database that is continually growing and one needs to go back and check to see what has been added. In this seminar we will try to concentrate on records that have been added in the last three years. The session will also take a fresh look at the FamilySearch search engine.
