Jen Hill is a doodler who happens to let her characters evolve into interesting, clever and ultimately fantastical stories that drive the narratives of her work. It's no wonder she is a freelance animator for Sesame Street, as her work brings a visual education to anyone who views it, particularly children. Jen seems to have a knack for capturing the essence of of story in her pieces. She also does incredibly cool projects such as designing a symbol language for a tech company that makes communication devices for nonverbal populations, predominantly children. She is presently shopping a children's book she has written and illustrated. Here is what Jen had to say about some of her work:

children, children today, children today charitable trust, emma fawcett, ireland, special needs, united kingdom
Children Today is a charity in the UK that helps provide aid and special equipment to children with disabilities who would not otherwise be able to afford the help they need. An incredible organization that is breaking new ground in terms of helping children in the UK and Ireland, Children Today is at once educational and inspiring. I spoke with Regional Fundraising Manager Emma Fawcett to learn more about them.
Love + Water- How did Children Today Charitable Trust begin?
Emma Fawcett- Our founder was Mr. Hugh McCaw. Hugh spent many years working in the voluntary sector, primarily for children's charities. Around 16 years ago he identified that there was a gap in provision for disabled children and young people in the UK and established Children Today to meet that need. Specialist equipment and aids enable disabled children and young people to experience the everyday things that we all do, often for the first time in their lives. Whether it's a walking frame to help them take their first steps outside or a powered wheelchair enabling them to join their family on a walk, it can literally change their life overnight.
L+W- It is amazing that children in need would have a hard time acquiring the equipment they need.
EF- Yes, and it is easy to assume that a child with a disability would automatically get the equipment they need. Sadly, this is not the case. This is where Children Today can help. We provide grants for specialised equipment to improve, assist and enhance the lives of children and young people with disabilities. Many families are unable to get the help they need from health and local authorities for major items related to their child's disabilities such as equipment or home adaptations. This means that many families have no alternative but to purchase the items themselves, if they can afford it, and if not they can come to us for help.
L+W- What role do you play in the organization?
EF- I am a Regional Fundraising Manager. As we are such a small charity we only have two RFM's so I have responsibility for fundraising across the southern half of the UK and N. Ireland. This mostly involves running fundraising events around the country, managing relationships with corporate supporters and community organisations and encouraging our supporters to take on fundraising challenges for us such as climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro or running the London Marathon. However, because we are so small it also means that I am not removed from the service provision side of the organisation. I often meet the children and their families and get to see first hand the difference that the right equipment can make to a child.
EF- We offer guidance and support for families through the process of identifying the need for specialised equipment for their child, choosing the correct equipment and then provide grants to fund the purchase. We provide ongoing support as families can come back to us every year with new requests as their child's needs change.
L+W- What is the most moving moment you've had so far with Children Today?
EF- There have been many as you can imagine. Seeing the difference that we can make to a child and their family is often very moving. One that I particularly treasure was meeting a little girl called Nasreen. Nasreen was a happy healthy 8 yr old when she suddenly had a stroke. Two years on, she had recovered fairly well but has been left hemiplegic, paralysed down one side. One day at the beginning of the summer, Nasreen was watching her brother and sisters playing outside and she asked her mother if she could ride her bike with them again. Of course, she couldn't and she just had to sit and watch. So her mother asked us for help and we funded a specialised tricycle with supportive seating, safety braking and other features. I have never seen a smile quite like Nasreen's when she rode her new tricycle and could play with her brother and sisters again.
EF- We welcome anyone who is interested in getting involved with our organization. People can help either by getting involved in our events or by directly donating. We receive no statutory funding and are entirely reliant on voluntary donations. There are 390,000 disabled people under the age of 16 in the UK with 100,000 of them having more than one disability. There is no statutory right for young people with disabilities to be provided with the equipment they need by the Government or the NHS, so the work we do is an extremely powerful aid for children in need.

Viewing Amy Schimler's art is a little like eating pie on a hot summer night- a homemade pie, that is, with all the right stuff inside. It is light, colorful, refined with an undertone of the guiltiest of pleasures that still somehow feels good for you. Her work is definitely good for the soul, in our opinion, because while she illustrates for children and greeting cards, which is in itself a delight, she speaks to people of all ages through her mastery of her craft and her whimsical way of capturing truth in the world around her. Amy's clients include Target, Baby Gap and American Greetings, to name a few. Here is what she had to say about some of her work:

I enjoy observing the world, creating creatures and anything else that involves creative play.

Steve Mack's illustrations are simply delightful. He loves to illustrate for children's books and greeting cards- how much more endearing can you get? What's best is that he is extremely talented, so his work appeals to everyone on many different levels. Steve lives in Canada with his lovely family, and loves to fish. Another huge plus in our book. Here is what he had to say about some of his work:
This owl was an experiment in texture and super bold primary color. When I illustrate I keep in mind scale, color, texture and composition. The images I like the best are deceptively simple. I reduce, add, shift and scale. My illustration process has almost become more like sculpting the total image I want rather than drawing it directly one time. That's the power of digital illustration software! It's tough to tell when to stop but if I get close to a balance I like in an image it will feel finished to me.
This illustration is for my most popular kids greeting card. This was commissioned for American Greetings and I did it about 5 years ago now but I can still walk into just about any place that has American Greetings Cards and find it in their juvenile birthday section. I am still pleased with how it turned out and happy that it has been so popular for a number of years.
I am currently developing a new children's book around this image. I try to tell little stories in my illustration and this one has prompted me to write a whole book around it.

"I always wanted a happy ending... Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity!"
"I'd much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they're the first to be rescued off sinking ships"
"While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die -- whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness"

We are children running free and into the sacred run. Hold me true. Hold me blue, deep inside my heart that is true.
Wake me up when all is done! I think it's about the sacred sun. I need to dream my soul awake. I am learning how to make my stake. We are children of the new age. We are learning just to turn the page. Sacred books all around. We are making the sacred sounds.

Aho my beloved granddaughter White Buffalo Calf Woman, and my children of the Rainbow Clan,I pray that today we might all find the song that has been hidden deep within our souls for all too long. That we might be joyous and free when we learn to bow to all that bleeds. The love of the red road, the law that holds us close, let everyone and everything find the cup to gift the toast. Let us bow to all the past, the today that is hear at last, and to the future that comes around (the sacred circle), showing us that love is in the heavenly sound (blue road). Let us remember that we are now the future, the golden fire that will now nurture, the seed, the new life we hold dear, let us ever more be the tear, (holy water and sacred salt) that heals the hearts together perfect without fault.
I do LOVE this sweet little guy! What a beautiful spirit of joy to behold, as he hangs on to the flower unfold(ing). He now is on my computer as the desktop image so I can look at his little smile and happy heart whenever I want. He reminds me of what God told me some time back, that what is coming is going to be a 'wild ride', so HANG ON TIGHT! This little creature reminds us to hang on with joy in our hearts, rather than white-knuckled and fear-faced. You can just see him receiving the joy and love that is in the wind and sending his own heart out with a grin. Thank you my beloved child, as much for the image as for the loving song that you received from our hearts and the world for the wind that blows FREE!
I send love and blessings today, the sun is out hip hip hooray! So as the rays fall down upon our faces, I pray that God will help us bring in all our graces. Full of fun and full of life, let all things precious be without strife. Bowing to the nine directions, let sacred hearts be won (under the sun).
Love Grandmother Comfort in the Wind, your Sunshine Glory Shines

On Sun, Mar 25, 2012 at 1:52 PM, White Buffalo Calf Woman, your Twin Deer Mother
Yes, that image of the rodent is most adorable happiness. Holiness David Running Eagle also has put it on his desktop. He soooooooo loves it too. We were exclaiming about it for at least two days.
Thanks for sending the cute little squirrel, as they are both images of our little beautiful rodent family. Holiness David is looking to find out what exactly our little guy in the flower is. He looks like a hamster, no tail, but not sure. So if anyone knows exactly what he is, let us know. Hit reply.
Love and blessings, nine sacred directions in the sun, where we are learning to run. Aho my mighty tree, let loose of what we feel in the breeze. It's time to run, right into the sun. And when you are down and out, just bow and gift a shout, I am here to sing, to let the world ring.
Blessings to the sky and near my heart. Fear not, we will let all things impart, to know the world, how to bring it home to fill. And when we fly around to say, that love is leading all the waves. It's time to go home, to the great and mighty sun (alightfromwithin). And we are leaning in the air, because love is felt and near, need not find hate, instead be great (wankan tankan or walking the talk, this is your greatness). And we are going to be the twin, the child who knows just how to begin. It's love at all cost, the saving grace that bows, not lost.
Love to you, I say, that you are the mighty gray, where dreaming fields grow sweet, it's Grandmothers who meet and greet. And when it's time to dream, wake up to hold the smell of your glory in your heart, for heaven leans on us to impart (our wisdom). Sow let those tears fall free, let the joy near yee (you). And find a wave, that you catch and ride excitedly.
Your devoted servant sings, to hear the bells toll in the spring, it's the beginning of the end that cleans. Second (orange) rolling hill in time, we say good bye to the chime, but now we look ahead, to the third (yellow) rolling hill that bled (suffers for love). And there the green fields do grow, where the spiritual of all does know, it's in our hearts, that's the place we impart.
Tell your stories and let it fly free, share your heart and your k/needs, because it's time. The book of life binds. And we are going to hear the song of what we did was wrong, but so will it be, tomorrow in the breeze. Sow instead of blame or shame, let roll over all our sins, to find the treasures near, there will be no more fear.
White Buffalo Calf Woman sings to tell the story in the rings, the hoops of life in everything. We will get through this strife. We are the Rainbow Clan, the place that God's hands do fill the hoops, the circle dances loose. Up and down, inside out, four directions that abounds and hear I stand, to say it's Mortal Man (blessing the sacred nine directions).
elder crystal child, alightfromwithin.org does smile, to share one heart, we are not a part.
Together in the winds. Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy begin.
Pray With Elders around the World
Sacred Song Blessings, gift all a good song, because you are perfect in all that does song. Our hearts reach into heaven, and we flood, with a sound, the music of Angels, that gift us pure sound.

Make fresh pizza sauce with tomatoes straight from the garden. No cooking involved, so it's really fresh tasting!
Updated: I've been making this recipe for about 10 years now, and we still love it. I thought it was time to update the post with some better pictures, along with a few tips.
You can add a dash of cinnamon to give this fresh pizza sauce even more flavor, but it's also perfect just how it is. This sauce is a bit thinner than pizza sauces that are cooked first (cooking them takes out a lot of the liquid from the tomatoes).
Using a less juicy tomato (such as roma tomatoes) will make for a thicker sauce. Heirloom tomatoes will make the flavor much richer than using store bought tomatoes (I wouldn't even try this recipe with hothouse tomatoes, since they're usually so watery and bland).
Original Fresh Pizza Sauce Post: Every summer I think, we will not buy as many tomato plants next year. But then spring comes around, and I get gardening fever. I go to buy my plants (I used to start my own, but I'm too lazy now) and I see that it's cheaper to buy a 4 pack than it is to buy a single plant. And I like variety!
So by the time I pick out some type of cherry tomato, a Roma, an heirloom, and an Early Girl or Big Beef or something, I've already got 16 plants. 16 tomato plants!!!
So I always end up with too many tomatoes.
We eat pizza a lot. Too much, really. But if my hubby had it his way, we would alternate between hamburgers and pizza and tacos, and that would basically be it. So our compromise is pizza once a week. I know, that's a ton (we alternate between quite a few different types, such as pepperoni, the Idaho Rancher, and BBQ chicken, but still….)
So I try to kill 2 birds with one stone by using some of those tomatoes for fresh pizza sauce. And I usually times this recipe by 5 or 6, and then I freeze the extras in ice cube trays. After frozen solid, I put them in a ziploc bag and just pull out as much as I want. Usually 2-3 pizza sauce ice cubes is good for a pizza. Freezing the fresh pizza sauce keeps it tasting like it's still fresh.
This pizza sauce is more like what you would get at a gourmet pizza shop, and it won't taste like canned pizza sauce because the tomatoes aren't cooked. So just a heads up- it's different, but absolutely delicious!
The Easiest Fresh Pizza Sauce
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 Tbs fresh Basil
- 1 tsp Salt
- pinch of Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp dried Oregano
- 2 Tbs Olive Oil
- 2 Ripe Tomatoes
- Tomato Paste to desired thickness
- Blend the garlic and basil in a food processor-- you may have to scrape the sides a couple of times. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend without liquifying.
- Use it right away or freeze it in ice cube trays.

Balloon Sinuplasty: Getting Acquainted with Procedure & amp; Benefits
Balloon Sinuplasty is a procedure through which physicians handle the problem of blocked nose sinuses. This process is a surgical technique only but it is far very different from traditional surgery done for managing problem of sinusitis. Normally, doctors utilize this operative way for patients who are suffering through longterm sinusitis and do not respond to medicines in any way. This method can be an endoscopic method where endoscope is actually introduced within the nose along with some other healthrelated equipment. This procedure is considered the best for treating sinusitis. Therefore, if you were fed up with blocked nasal area it would be better to get it done by ENT specialist at the earliest possible.
When Baloon Sinuplasty is Carried Out, Individual is Given Anesthesia
This is because during the surgery various equipment are usually inserted into the nose like go up catheters, colonic irrigation catheters, guide wires, illumination and navigation systems. The procedure begins with insertion of manual catheter in the nose. As soon as a doctor is able to locate the affected area, balloon catheter is inserted into ostium and then it is higher. With inflation, the blockage is removed and reshaped. Once the process is over, balloon is deflated and taken out of the nose.
- Sometimes people get scared after listening to the whole procedure but in reality, it is not that complex.
- When experienced go up sinuplasty doctors are completing the surgical treatment, certainly no complexity will take place.
- This entire surgery offers various rewards to people suffering through sinusitis and this is the reason why the popularity is growing rapidly.
- Firstly, the surgery is safe and at the same time efficient.
- Throughout endoscopy surgery, minimum invasion takes place and thus one can need to worry about issues like removal of bone or tissues.

3:42 PMUse your Gmail account as a personal file server || Rahul's Suggested
These days as we know purchasing any storage media is not a big deal for a common man now. But still many from us especially like me don't trust the storage media's for my important data. So i found a trick which can allow you to save your important data in an virtual drive by Gmail.
There are some limitations and caveats associated with this how-to: Gmail doesn't support files larger than 10MB, so you won't be able to store large movie files or anything, but you wouldn't be doing that anyway 'cuz it's illegal, right? Also, the Gmail drive shell extension only functions under Windows XP, but you'll be able to access and download any of your files via any operating system and browser combination supported by Gmail.
Be advised that this trick is completely unsupported by the Google folk and so may cease functioning at any time — particularly following upgrades to the Gmail service. As far as we know this isn't illegal (we actually read the EULA for you — that's love, people), but we can't guarantee Google won't go all RIAA on us and crack down on this app, either, so use at your own risk.
Also, it goes without saying that none of you would dream of using something like this to shuttle around any illegally-obtained or un-DRM'd music, right? 'Cuz that would make you a criminal, and we can't advocate that. This is only for personal use storage of your, uh, extensive Powerpoint collection, k? Buckle in and let's roll.
First up, download the Gmail Drive shell extension. The download page says you need to have Internet Explorer 5 or higher for installation; this just refers to the fact that Internet Explorer is infernally wed to Windows Explorer and you need a version of the Windows Explorer based on the IE5+ engine. If you're running Windows XP you should be all set with this. No need to actually launch that browser — we wouldn't conscionably recommend that to anyone.
Installation is as simple as running the Setup program. When the installer is finished running, it will tell you you can begin using Gmail Drive right away, but you may actually have to restart your machine before you can access the new drive. If you don't see it in the list of locations under My Computer, just try restarting. Otherwise, you should be seeing Gmail Drive showing up just any regular storage device would:

If you already have files stored in your account from attachments you've received, etc., you will see them in the Explorer window after you've logged in. Otherwise, if you have no files or if you've just created your brand spankin' new Gmail account, you'll just see an empty Explorer window:

You'll get a dialogue window with an animation involving a cute little phone that for some reason is sending a letter — some tribute to ye olde modems of yore?
Regardless, it means Gmail Drive is whisking your files happily away and posting them to your Gmail account. When the transfer is finished, you'll see icons for your files in your Gmail Drive:

In its press conference held last night, Huawei unveiled the Matebook X Pro. Sounds familiar, no? That's because Huawei is not ashamed of aping not just the name but the look and feel of Apple's Macbook Pro. And, from what we saw, specs-wise, it's a product worthy of consideration by anyone who's in the market for top of the line laptops.
Let's talk about the screen. Huawei claims that it is the world's first FullView touchscreen laptop with a 91% display coverage. It has a 3000 x 2000 resolution, 260 PPI, 100% sRGB color gamut, 450 nits brightness, and 1500:1 contrast ratio. This edges out the latest Macbook Pro 15-inch models' non-touchscreen specs (2880-by-1800 native resolution at 220 PPI).
Comparing it amongst its fellow Windows counterparts, it leaves them to dust with not just the 10% gain in screen-to-body ration but with a 4-speaker
Oh and one more thing, due to ultra slim bezel, they had to relocate the camera elsewhere.
The best part of the pop-up camera is that you'll know that there's no chance anyone is spying on you when it's closed. The worst part? Aside from probably making people look smug due to its low placement relative to the user's face, the pop-up mechanism could be more prone to failure if one of the springs fail.
As for the pricing, the lower spec variant (i5/8GB/256GB) is at €1499 (around P96,000) while the top sec variant €1,899 (around P122,000). It definitely isn't shy on taking on Apple even on the pricing aspect.
Will we see it in our shores? Well, China will get it in Q2 this year so it's quite possible. If not, one could probably snag it in Hongkong. We'll surely update you when we get our hands on it.

Custom «The World's Gun Control» Essay Paper
The world's gun control lobbyists promote the theory enthusiastically, namely the International Network for Small Arms (IANSA), a network, which regional and national gun control lobbyists belong. IANSA's director, on behalf of the group, endorsed the prohibition of firearm for self-defense possession. IANSA works toward the overall confiscation of non-governmentally firearms, with an exception for low-power rifles and single-shot guns owned by hunters. Amnesty International also works closely with IANSA together with Oxfam, with the three forming a lobbying group referred to as "Control Arms." The IANSA in collaboration with the United Nations, work in collaboration to support a common agenda. This has had a radical effect on the right to defend one-self (Shute & Hurley 38).
The right to defend one-self in English law is generally a complete defense of all levels of assault. Charles argues that it can be of use in mitigating liability from situations of murder to manslaughter (213). This is in the case where a police officer or a soldier acting in his duty uses a stronger degree of force than expected or necessary for self-defense. Therefore, self-defense is discernible from provocation that only applies in mitigating what would otherwise change from murder to manslaughter (Todd 145).

Scott says that because of the defense completeness, Self-defense in interpretation is relatively conservative as a way to avoid the creation of a standard of justification (134-143). The more level of forgiving a defense is the superior the incentive for a defendant to; relatively exploit it when making plans for the use of violence or in the attempt of explaining matters after the self-defense event (Scott 134-143). Therefore, even if the jury in cases of self-defense is entitled to take account of the actual physical characteristics of the respective defendant, the corrected evidence has little value in making decisions whether excessive force was of use in such an event (Robertson & John 76-79). The law states, "A defendant has a right to use reasonable force in the event of protecting himself, as well as others for whom he holds responsibility as well as his property but the force must be reasonable."
In the right to defend one-self, there is a controversy of what force is exactly reasonable as stipulated in the law. Opinions differ, and many scholars and organizations have different perspectives on the issue of reasonable force. The question underlying this is what the reasonable amount of force would be (Shute & Hurley 38). However, in all cases, the respective defendant does not truly have the right of deciding how much force is so-called reasonable because it would be a norm for the defendant in maintaining the reasonable force (Forsythe 18-27). This would also contradict the isue of guiltiness because situations vary as explained in the earlier discussion, in this paper. Some situations do not even warrant any use of force and therefore, the defendants would use the concept of reasonable force to while away their guilt (David & Joanne 43–178). The jury, as members of the general community, should be the ones to decide the level or degree of reasonable force depending on the circumstances that the defendants were at the time when they executed the right to defend one-self (Michael 156).
Robertson & John also argues that it is pertinent that the respective defendant was under pressure in situations of attack, and the imminent attack would not give him time act rational or make considerations of the amount of force used (76-79). Therefore, in executing a judgment on the right to defend one-self the test should balance the standard of a pertinent reasonable person through the attribution of some of the relative, subjective knowledge of the respective defendant, with an inclusion of their beliefs about the specific circumstances (Shute & Hurley 38). However, even permitting for mistakes made in the event of crisis, the degree of force must also be proportionate as well as reasonable given the interests protected as well as the harm likely to occur by use of such force (Charles 213).

The classic test on the right to defend one-self comes from the Jamaican Palmer v The Queen case, on appeal presented to the Privy Council in the year 1971. It espouses, "The defense in the event of self-defense is that which can be or will be understood readily by any jury. It is a type of a straightforward conception. Generally, it involves no particular form of abstruse legal thought. The defense only requires common sense for its understanding (Shute & Hurley 38). The same is both convenient sense and reputable law that an attacked man may reiterate by defending himself (Forsythe 18-27). It is both convenient sense and reputable law that the man may do it, but may do, what is only and reasonably necessary. However, everything will be dependent upon the particular circumstances and facts (Todd 145). It may, in particular cases be, clearly possible and sensible to take candid avoiding action.
There are attacks that may be dangerous and serious while others may not (Michael 156). If there were relatively some minor attack in the event, it would not be reasonable to allow some action of retaliation that was wholly over the proportion of the respective situation (David & Joanne 43–178). If an attack is severe and serious putting someone in instantaneous peril then direct defensive action might be relatively necessary (Shute & Hurley 38). If the situation is one of predicament for someone in danger, he may have to literally, avert the danger through some instant reaction. When the attack is over and noo peril remains, then it is expected that the force employment ceases, and the introduction of revenge or even some form of punishment done through either paying off or pure aggression (Charles 213). There may not be any link with an inevitability of defense particularly when a jury thinks that in the situation of unexpected anguish an individual attacked only did what he instinctively and honestly thought as necessary as the most potent evidence only reasonable as a defensive action" (Scott 134-143).
Robertson & John argues that the right to defend one-self is also dependent on the intent or the reason for holding the weapon (76-79). He gives an example in explaining the right to defend one-self. He illustrates that in R v Lindsay (2005), the defendant who was said to pick up a sword in defending himself after an attack in his home by masked intruders armed with handguns, cut and killed one of the attackers. He slashed him repeatedly using a sword in self-defense. The prosecution case read that, although he initially had acted in self-defense, he lost self-control and in the process demonstrating a clear intent of killing the armed intruder because, he slashed continuously (Forsythe 18-27). In fact, he was himself a cannabis dealer keeping the sword available in defending him against fellow drug dealers. The Court of Appeal did confirm an eight-year term for him to serve imprisonment (Shute & Hurley 38). In a non-criminal context, this would not be the expectation for the case of ordinary householders "going too far" to defend themselves against armed robbers (Todd 145). They would receive a self-defense probe because of the intention of their act as well as the possession of the weapon (David & Joanne 43–178).

In explaining the right to defend one-self, the most astonishing claim is the Frey report, that there is no right of humans of self-defense. The reports states, "No international right of human of self-defense is set forth expressly in the sources of international law including customary law, treaties, or general principles (David & Joanne 43–178). While the human right to life is evident in practically every foremost human rights treaty internationally, the right to defend one-self is expressly recognized only in one, that is, Protection of Human Rights Convention and Fundamental Freedoms (European Human Rights Convention) (Michael 156).
In conclusion, the right to defend one-self is extremely wide and covered by many scholars but the international law has still not appropriately mandated the use of defense especially use of restrictive gun control. The issue is also wide as it covers key areas in self-defense including others and own property. There is therefore, need for specialty in each subject and a cardinal in each subject individually covered to cover the issue subjectively.

A knock on the door at 5:00 a.m. and it was finally time to get up and get exploring the Amazon River! As I lift my coffee for a first sip I not only notice an absolutely beautiful sunrise starting to unfold, but some large splashes in the water: River Dolphins!
And that is how our first exploration went. After boarding our skiff we watched the sun rise and the jungle come alive: Monkeys (Squirrel and Dusky Titi),
|Dusky Titi Monkey
|Squirrel Monkey
|Two-Toes Sloth
Having been to the Amazon once before I know what an "A" day is and we were having one!
We were back on the ship for breakfast at 8:00 a.m., which consisted of tamales, scrambled eggs, thick bacon and fruit. A waiter comes around offering fresh juice (noting that a wide variety of fruit juices are offered in rotation throughout all meals). Towards the end of each meal there is a very short briefing of what to expect, so the morning activities are explained the evening before, the afternoon's/evenings are discussed at lunch.
After a short rest it was time to reorganize and head back out on the skiff at 9:30 a.m. for another exploration before heading back to the ship (which moves when we are out exploring) for lunch, followed by a well-needed siesta during the extreme heat of the afternoon in the Amazon. At 4:30 p.m. we head again with dinner to follow around 7:30 p.m. There is no real evening entertainment (though the crew does a 30 minute musical performance on three nights).
One afternoon we were at the confluence of two rivers where both pink and gray river dolphins frequent and feed. My last time to the Amazon was more downriver where the dolphin populations are, apparently, much lower. Here the challenge was not seeing them, but capturing them in a photo as they quickly rise and then dive. As frustrating as it was, the lighting was perfect and some decent shots were had (though betters once would come later in the trip!)
This is pretty much how the first three days of our Amazon cruise went. Of course there were variations, including an evening skiff exploration where we hunted for the red glow of the eyes of caiman,
|The red glow of a baby caiman's eyes at night
|What a baby caiman looks like at night with fast ISO and a slow shutter speed
a swim in the Amazon River with dolphins nearby,
a short paddle with a local a traditional canoe
and piranha fishing, as examples.
|It would have been a bit more exciting fishing for Piranha
that could actually bite you!
If my experience continued as it had it would have been far better. However, this G Adventures cruise is a bit more touristic than I would have liked as it as Day 4 an on unfolded and there was a distinct "We are done with the wildlife, now let's do tourist stuff" approach. The signal was a morning "wildlife" walk that was literally right next to a small village where we had stopped for the evening. (Folks, animals don't hang out where humans live. I think we all know that.) But nonetheless there was beauty and interest that was seen...if only fleeting (as this 1.5 hour stroll could have taken 3 or more hours so we could really see and understand the environment if not observe more wildlife).
Unfortunately, these tourist experiences were made worse by some of the Canadian teachers/educators whose conduct was off-putting even to my recent high school graduate son. With this relatively large contingent more focused on this being a holiday rather than a nature/ethnic experience coupled with them not being terribly respectful of the fact that others with different interests were sharing the same small space, our trip took a definite turn for the worse.
That is not to say that "my" desired experience is more important, but that when you are on a small boat with a single skiff courtesy is truly a needed commodity. It also made it virtually impossible for the full "educational" experience to be provided both as to wildlife and indigenous people because talking about birds or dolphin behavior or environmental issues would have been poorly received, if not ignored or talked over. (Yes, it should have been done regardless, and I am frustrated by that…more for my son missing out on these things. G Adventures should have done much better.)
For example, we had a visit to a local school where we were supposed to – if we wanted – purchase school supplies for the children (but, of course, with visits about once a week they would have years and years' worth of supplies; so what happens to them?) This faux "interact with the locals" became a farce when part of our group decided that their "feel good help the children" plans should be sidelined so they could hold a pet baby sloth. Not good for the sloth and not good for the children. But, alas, for my fellow passengers it was all about them and not where they were. Shameful.
|A far more touching photo is of a boy with his pet sloth
than one of me posing with it
This was not dissimilar to when we were to go on a nature hike and we spent almost 30 minutes while they swung on a vine…scaring away all the wildlife. When challenged the comment from the biggest mouth of them all…an administrator no less…was that it was OK because it was fun. (My comment that he should do that on a playground, not scaring wildlife was not warmly received.) I have to wonder how many students have gotten detention or were suspended by this guy for simply screwing around in gym class! But again, there was beauty...if you looked.
Making matters a bit worse, those "skiffs" we were to have was actually one skiff. And one night we had a very intense rain storm and two of the scuppers (drains) on the side of the boat poured even more water into the skiff sinking it. A day was spent hauling the boat and getting the engines to work, if imperfectly. Thus, our visit to a shaman became a visit on the ship by a shaman and a lunch with a local family was cancelled. These were not huge losses for me, as I would have preferred to have preferred to have had more sort of authentic experiences. (I was baffled by the comments about how wonderful the skiff driver was repairing the skiff and how some wanted to tip him extra. I was thinking, "Why didn't he cover the skiff or move it so that it wouldn't have sunk in the first place as this was not his first tropical downpour?!")
Anyway, through the frustrations and disappointments, there were some pretty spectacular experiences...with more to come! (Macaws, dolphins and more!)

text: Greg Rodriguez - June 19, 2011 A Dad on the Dark Continent Here, Greg and his daughter, Chloe, pause to soak up the scenery in South Africa. I don't come from a hunting family, but I've hunted an awful lot the last 26 years. My travels have taken me to 24 countries on six continents. I've enjoyed every one of the days I spent afield, but as great as those hunts were, they were largely solo journeys that had me far from hearth and home. I always envied friends who hunted with their fathers, brothers, or children, and I often dreamt of hunting with my own children one day. When my children, Chloe and Cole, were born, I couldn't wait for them to be old enough to join me and I prayed they would share my passion for hunting.I started my kids on BB guns at the age of three, and .22s at five. Chloe was very interested in hunting and shot well enough that I took her on her first hunt a month shy of her sixth birthday. She showed an impressive amount of patience and maturity for her age, staying optimistic and cheery on a very slow hunt. Her patience and maturity paid off the last night when she dropped a grizzled old axis buck at a little over 120 yards. The memory of that tiny girl with the giant grin dwarfed between the buck's 30-inch antlers and a rifle as big as her still makes me smile. Cole got started the next year. Like his sister, he was a month shy of his sixth birthday, but he was nowhere near as mature or patient as Chloe. He drilled his buck neatly on the shoulder when he got the chance and he seemed to enjoy himself, but he was definitely more interested in shooting than the other stuff that makes a hunt. But he was young, and I was thrilled that he seemed to enjoy the time we shared afield. I hunted a lot with my kids the next few years. We didn't always get what we went for, but we really enjoyed our time together away from ringing cell phones and never-ending deadlines. We spent our time plinking, taking walks in the woods, and cutting up around the campfire. For some reason, our hunting camp conversations were always deeper and more meaningful than the ones we had at home. Every trip seemed to yield a few brief, precious moments I'll forever remember in Technicolor. I really enjoyed watching my kids grow as hunters and people over the course of those three years. Both were becoming pretty good hunters and darn fine marksmen, and we were getting to know each other on a level I fear too few parents know their children. We were on the tail end of a great third deer season hunting as a family when we learned that Chloe had leukemia.The diagnosis was devastating but the prognosis was good, so we soldiered on with Chloe's chemo and tried to live life as normally as a bald-headed little girl with a wheelbarrow full of drugs can. It was an awful big load for an eight-year-old to bear, but she bore it with a quiet strength I never would have guessed my little angel possessed. She continued to hunt during her two-year course of chemotherapy. It was on one of those deer hunts at the tail end of her chemo that she made me promise to take her to Africa when she completed her treatment. We started planning our safari as soon as we got home. The next few months flew by, but we managed to work in a lot of practice and the kids made their wish lists while I tried to teach them about budgets. During the planning phase, Chloe decided to spend just a few days hunting because she wanted to join the rest of the ladies in our group on a four-day tour along the Garden Route. I was sad, but I didn't let her know it. By the time we left for South Africa's Eastern Cape a few months later, I had accepted her waning interest and was looking forward to hunting Africa with Cole.Cole and I started hunting the minute we arrived. We began with a long walk in the hills. We were looking for a big kudu bull or impala ram for Cole but in truth, I just wanted to let him soak up a bit of Africa. We snuck up to within 25 yards of a warthog sow and we saw several impala rams and kudu bulls, but we didn't see anything to shoot. But our little walk gave Cole a chance to get his first taste of African hunting. He clearly liked it, because he chattered excitedly about all he'd seen as we walked back to the truck. We stopped on top of the last hill to soak up Cole's first African sunset. The next day, we walked for miles up and down those big, brushy hills in search of a big kudu or impala. We saw plenty, but we weren't having any luck getting within range. I was a bit worried that he might get bored or frustrated, but Cole just kept pumping those little legs up and down the hills, smiling and asking questions the entire time. It seemed my boy had matured a lot in the previous few years. It's a good thing, because the next day was every bit as frustrating as the first.We didn't have any luck the third morning either, but we had a heck of a time playing cat-and-mouse with a wily old kudu bull on a brush-choked hill. That evening, we spotted another great kudu feeding in a little valley. We eased as close as we dared, then got Cole up on the sticks. The range was 165 yards, but he was confident, so I reminded him of his shot placement and turned him loose. A second later, his little .260 bucked and the bull bolted, its shoulder shattered. I've never seen my son stand as tall as he did as we stood admiring his big kudu. Things picked up quickly the next day. We found a herd of blesbok after lunch and Cole dropped one with a perfect shot from 120 yards. Fifteen minutes later, he took a 208-yard shot at a nice impala ram. He said the shot felt perfect but the ram bolted as if it hadn't been touched. But Cole insisted that he'd hit it and the tracker backed him up, so we walked over to where the ram stood at the shot and, shortly, found a brilliant crimson splash. Fifteen yards further we found the ram piled up in a bush with a neat little .260 hole through both shoulders. That evening, Cole took a very nice duiker with another perfect shot from his little Browning. Around the fire, his marksmanship earned a lot of attention from the other hunters. He's usually kind of shy in big groups, but he seemed to light up when the men started asking him about his hunt.We left to hunt for a caracal on another property the next day. The dogs struck a big track bright and early. We crashed and bulled our way behind them through the dense, coastal brush and vines as best we could for the better part of two hours before we finally caught up to them. They had the big lynx treed, but the tomcat bailed as soon as it saw us. Our crew took off again, but this time the dogs treed the cat quickly. It sat high up a tall, straight tree, watching us. I must have felt safe because it was content to sit on its perch and watch the show below. It even yawned once or twice.Unfortunately, the thick brush that surrounded the tree forced Cole to get almost at the base of the tree to shoot. The angle was so steep he had to shoot from a sitting position with his shooting sticks at standing height. He drilled the cat, but he got a Boddington-sized scope eye for his troubles.I've never seen the equal of Cole's caracal. Neither had the PHs. Pride and adrenaline helped my 56-pound boy hold up the 40-pound cat through the entire photo session. I'll never forget Cole's smile as he held his cat, or how proud and animated he was as he told the story of his caracal hunt around the fire later.The next morning, we went out in pursuit of a big lechwe, but we spotted a huge zebra stallion — the last animal on Cole's list — right off the bat. It was in a big herd so it took a while to get within range and even longer to make sure Cole was on the right one, but once the stallion pranced off to the side he sent a 120-grain TSX crashing through its shoulder. That single shot did the job, but zebras are tough — the tenacious disco donkey covered a few hundred yards before it expired right next to a road. We returned to Blaauwkrantz Safaris the next morning, where we caught up with the ladies. Chloe and my wife, Lisa, were still giddy from their Garden Route tour. They'd visited a few day spas, gone on a jungle canopy tour, played with baby lions, and shopped their tails off. But Chloe was ready to hunt, so we headed out to make the most of our last two days. Francois knew where a nice bull had been feeding fairly regularly. We snuck up an overlook well before dark in hopes that the ancient bull would make an appearance.Kudu began picking their way through the valley soon after we got comfortable in the corpse of a long-abandoned blind in some heavy brush. We saw some young bulls and lots of cows, but no shooters. As we waited, a rustling behind us turned into a giant tortoise that walked right into our laps. Chloe and I giggled and snapped photos of the hapless tortoise as Francois shot us dirty looks."There's a big bull moving about in the bushes on the other side of the valley. Cut that out", our African party-pooper scolded. We were tossing pebbles at Francois and doing our best to get under his skin when he threw up a finger and gave me the look. I dropped to a knee, handed Chloe her rifle and helped her ease it onto a branch. Shortly, an old, heavy-horned bull ambled out into the open. Chloe spotted the bull immediately. She slid her rifle into position, plastered the reticle on its shoulder, and then settled into her pre-shot routine. When she was ready, she asked me to put my hand on her back, and then she let out a breath and slowly squeezed the trigger. The bull bolted at the shot, but Francois followed it with his binocular. An instant later, he pumped his fist and said, simply, "Down. Good shot, Chloe."Daylight was fading fast, so I grabbed my camera and we charged down the hill to see Chloe's bull. Chloe was shocked at its size. Though she's grown up with a kudu mount over the fireplace, she never realized how big they really are until she walked up to hers. She was particularly pleased with herself for shooting the bull so well and killing it cleanly. I was proud of the way she held it together despite my obvious excitement and made the most of what could have been her only opportunity.As Francois ran back to get the truck, Chloe and I sat with her kudu and talked about the hunt and all the things she'd experienced on her sightseeing expedition. She jabbered on about the animals she'd seen, the fun she'd had, and all the things she'd learned. And then she just quit talking, grabbed my hand, put her little head on my shoulder, and watched that giant, African sun sink behind the mountains.Our family safari was last August. Six months and another great deer season after our return, Chloe's leukemia has returned. As I write this, she is in the battle of her young life. Chemotherapy has ravaged her little body, and her suffering has broken our hearts. Her prognosis is good, but she's facing a long, arduous battle no child should have to face.As difficult as it is to watch Chloe suffer through the treatment process once again, I can always count on the memories of the chilly sunrises, warm sunsets, mischief and milestones we've shared to make those tough times a little more bearable. I can only pray that we get the chance to make even more of those precious moments. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Florida-Based Insurer Cancels Thousands of Home Policies
Florida-Based Insurer People's Trust Insurance Cancels Thousands of Home Policies as Hurricane Season Approaches
People's Trust Insurance Co. cancelled more than 5,000 home insurance policies prior to the beginning of the 2014 hurricane season, delivering quite a blow to homeowners across Florida.
The move strikes many as unfair. There is minimal risk in collecting hurricane insurance premiums in the months when hurricanes rarely, if ever, occur. Canceling the policies in the spring and summer, when the risk of hurricanes increases, has led policyholders to question if this is legal. Unfortunately, the cancellations are entirely lawful, as a primary requirement regarding the cancellation of policies is a 90-day cancellation notice, and People's Trust took care to meet that requirement.
Under Florida law, an insurance company must also provide a proper cancellation notice if it changes the material terms of your insurance policy. For instance, if you previously had coverage for sinkhole loss but the insurance company later removed coverage for sinkhole loss, the insurance company must provide you a proper notice of cancellation. If a proper notice was not sent, the cancellation may not be effective. If your property insurer has changed the material terms of your policy and not provided a proper cancellation notice, you have options. Please contact us to discuss your options.
Insurers, Such As People's Trust Are Adept at Maximizing Profits
People's Trust experienced strong growth in the tri-county area and across the state in 2014, and that growth was presumably the result of aggressive and effective marketing and sales efforts. The pull back was therefore surprising, since it occurred less than a year after the expansion. The company's director of marketing explained this measure as a "prudent exposure management strategy" that will "more effectively diversify and balance the company's risk portfolio as [we] enter the 2014 hurricane season."
In other words, People's Trust is taking steps to avoid having to make payouts for future claims.
Though, as stated previously, People's Trust's mass policy cancelations are legal, it's important to keep in mind that insurers are often interested in protecting their best interests when policies are still valid and in force, and claims are filed. Insurance policies are invariably complex and are drafted by the insurers themselves, who have an eye on their own interests. When insurers deny claims or offer low-value settlement amounts, it often makes sense to question the move with the help of an attorney with experience in insurance claims and litigation.
If you need insurance law legal help in Florida regarding a sinkhole, fire, hurricane, storm damage or other matter relating to property insurance claims, contact Pekar Law P.A. by calling 813-712-8762.

Finance Quotations – 03February 18th, 2009
Finance Quotations – 03
Famous Finance, Business, Trading, and Investing Quotations
The following are quotes from Edwin Lefevre's investment classic Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. Unless otherwise noted the quotes are of trading legend Jesse Livermore using the fictional character Lawrence Livingston. Visit this site for a detailed summary of Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.
There is nothing new in Wall Street. Because speculation is as old as the hills. Whatever happens in the stock market today has happened before and will happen again.
The big money is made by sitting, not thinking. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon.
The point is not so much to buy as cheap as possible or go short at top price, but to buy or sell at the right time.
I never argue with the tape.
There is nothing like losing for teaching you what not to do.
There are only two emotions in the market, hope and fear – the only problem is you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope.
Whenever things didn't come out as they should, I'd quit. There was no sense in arguing. The pressing need when one is wrong is to quit quick. I always cut short my losses.
There is only one side to the stock market; and it is not the bull side or the bear side, but the right side.
The big money is in the big swing. And no matter who opposes it, the swing must run as far and as fast and as long as the impelling forces determine.
Nowhere does history indulge in repetitions so often or so uniformly as in Wall Street. When you read contemporary accounts of booms or panics the one thing that strikes you most forcibly is how little either stock speculation or stock speculators today differ from yesterday. The game does not change and neither does human nature.
Never try to sell at the top. Sell after a reaction (correction) if there is no (recovery) rally.
I cleared about three million dollars in 1916 by being bullish as long as the bull market lasted and then by being bearish when the bear market started. A man does not have to marry one side of the market till death do them part.
It has always seemed to me the height of damfoolishness to trade on tips.
To make money in the market, I never buy at the bottom and I always sell too soon.
Baron Rothchild
If you owe a bank a dollar and can't pay, you have a problem. If you owe them a million and can't pay, they have a problem.
Mark Twain
The smarter they are the easier it (the market) fools them.
Edwin Lefevre
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
The repetitions of history serve but to annoy youth.
Edwin Lefevre
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
Cause of death: Acute bearishness in a bull market. Not an obscure disease. How did he come to contract it, with all his experience and skill? Because he was a human being. That is why the game beats them all.

Most patients with microtia also have aural atresia, which means absence of an ear canal. Patients who do not have an ear canal may be able restore their hearing with aural atresia repair or by use of a Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA). Dr. Charles Thorne in Lenox Hill, Manhattan, partners with a talented and trusted otologist for rebuilding the inner ear. A BAHA can be worn immediately after birth. Aural atresia repair is best performed after the auricular reconstruction.
Understanding Aural Atresia Repair and BAHAs
Aural atresia repair involves restoring inner ear hearing loss through the surgical construction of an ear canal and an ear drum. A Bone Anchored Hearing Aid on the other hand consists of two types:
- Soft Band BAHA: During this procedure, a small processor is attached to a band worn around the head that receives and sends sounds to the middle ear bones, transmitting sound waves to the brain. This is traditionally chosen for infants with middle ear or conductive hearing loss.
- BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid): Rather than remaining on a band around the head, the processor is connected to a titanium post in the skull. Patients must be at least five years old and have adequate skull density to undergo this procedure. This type of aid provides the best possible replacement for the middle ear function.
To determine which option is most appropriate, Dr. Thorne will conduct a thorough assessment of you or your child's ears during a consultation.
This patient underwent both an aural atresia repair and a reconstruction of the external ear.
What are the Benefits?
Patients who undergo aural atresia repair or who wear a BAHA can enjoy restored hearing almost immediately. This is especially beneficial for young patients who have aural atresia on both sides and are functionally deaf without hearing aids or aural atresia repair. When this procedure is combined with rib cartilage ear reconstructive surgery, patients can have both their hearing and outer ear aesthetics restored, providing a better quality of life and improved self-confidence.
Who is a Candidate?
Unfortunately, aural atresia repair is not always a viable option. About 50 percent of patients with microtia are candidates for aural atresia repair based on the extent of the deformity of the middle ear structures. Patients with Treacher Collins syndrome are almost never candidates for surgical repair of the aural atresia. Fortunately, almost all patients with microtia are candidates for the BAHA which actually provides superior hearing in the long term compared to aural atresia repair.
What to Expect During the Procedure
As one of the more challenging ear reconstruction surgeries available, aural atresia repair is always performed by an experienced otologist. A typical procedure usually includes providing the patient with a sterile, skin-lined external auditory canal in addition to improving hearing. Dr. Thorne works closely with a trusted and skilled otologist to make sure patients achieve optimal results.
Patients who undergo aural atresia repair can enjoy restored hearing almost immediately
If your child suffers from congenital aural atresia in addition to microtia, we encourage you to make an appointment with Dr. Thorne to determine if he or she is a candidate for aural atresia repair or a BAHA. The sooner treatment can be performed, the greater their chance of having hearing restored during crucial developmental stages.
Learn if Aural Atresia Repair is Right for You
Please contact our office today online or give us a call at 212-794-0044 to schedule your consultation with Dr. Thorne. He will perform a complete examination and outline the most suitable treatment options.

The night before I was to prepare our Thanksgiving meal this week, I cuddled in bed with Mike and listed out the dishes for the next day: turkey in the doufeu, dressing, gravy, spinach madeline, cranberry sauce, yeast rolls, and pumpkin pie. Then this happened:
Me: What was your favorite Thanksgiving dish growing up?
Mike: Sweet potatoes.
SWEET POTATOES. The one dish I didn't even THINK to include. Of course. It just so happens that Riggs is on a big sweet potato kick, so I had the ingredients for this dish in the kitchen. I rattled around and found the recipe in one of my old standbys: Best of the Best from Mississippi Cookbook. I also happened to have the ingredients for the orange sauce, and let me just say.....that stuff is FINE. It has completely revolutionized the way I think about sweet potatoes, and I'll never again be able to make this casserole without the orange sauce.
4-5 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered (I chopped into 1/2 inch cubes)
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar, divided
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted, divided
1 teaspoon salt
pecan halves
Cook potatoes in water to cover until tender (about 25-30 minutes).
Add 1/4 cup brown sugar to hot potatoes.
Add eggs, 3 T butter, and salt.
Beat until smooth.
Pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.
Lay pecan halves end to end, covering the entire casserole. (I just roughly chopped pecans and sprinkled liberally on top.)
Sprinkle with remaining brown sugar.
Drizzle remaining melted butter over top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
Ladle Orange Sauce over individual servings.
Orange Sauce
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup orange juice
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons butter
3 dashes Angostura bitters
In saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, orange rind, orange juice, and lemon juice.
Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Cook until thickened.
Remove from heat.
Stir in butter and bitters.
Serves 8-10.

Chocolate Chess Pie
So the other day Riggs and I were playing as Avery was at Mother's Day Out. I was craving something but didn't know what. Then it hit me..... like a bolt from the blue.... CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE. I absolutely HAD to have it. And I was willing to risk being a teensy bit late to pick up Avery so I could bake it. Fortunately from start to finish, this pie only took a little more than an hour and a half, and that's with a 60 minute baking time, so I was able to finish it AND go pick up our little monster.
I think Food.com has my favorite recipe:
1 1/2 cups sugar
5 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup evaporated milk
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 partially 9-inch baked pie crust
1 Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
2 Combine sugar, cocoa, flour, and salt.
3 Blend in milk.
4 Beat in eggs 1 at a time.
5 Add butter and vanilla, beat until smooth.
6 Pour into prebaked pie shell.
7 Bake in 325* oven for 55-60 minutes.
I whipped up my new pie crust recipe and baked it for ten minutes at 375 while I mixed the pie filling in the same bowl in which I prepared the crust dough. So easy, so delicious. Don't even try to taste this stuff without some whipped cream on top. And it's even better the next day.
Thank you to Food-in-Mouth for the above photo.

New Pie Crust Recipe
It's a rainy, rainy Monday afternoon. Both babies are napping, as should I be, but I wanted to jot down my new go-to for a pie crust before I forget:
Makes 1 pie
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
With your fingers, crumble the shortening into the flour and salt until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
Do not overwork.
Add water - it works better very cold, but that's not necessary - until desired consistency.
Roll out onto floured surface.

Just a few here and theres
- Riggs giggles when we suck out his nose or wipe his face. He thinks it's hysterical and belly laughs so hard it's difficult to accomplish the task. Maybe that's all part of his plan.
- When I ask Avery for a kiss, she always plants a big happy smiling one right square on my lips. I guess it's because she sees Daddy and me kissing like that, and I don't mind. My heart melts into a puddle when she then turns to Riggs and says, "Riggs kiss," planting one gently on his head.
- I have to bathe both kids together. I could just bathe Avery, but if Riggs is in the bathtub, so must she be. After a few moments of sheer panic on my part, she's proven to be very soft with her brother, and I always let her help me bathe him. I'll sit him up and hold him while she scrubs his back, and he comes out squeaky clean every time.
- Avery has an impressive grasp on the English language, but sometimes her enunciation could use a little work. A few months ago she and I were in the Kroger. I turned around to find her standing in the seat of the buggy and immediately said, "Avery! Sit sit sit!" which of course she repeated enthusiastically and loudly... only from her mouth it sounded like "Shit shit shit!" And of course one of my DAR sisters was right around the corner. You should hear her say, "fork."
- She counts too: "One, two, fee, six!"
- Her favorite songs to sing are Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, the ABC song, Jesus Muvs Me, and the Itsy Bitsy Speyter. She loves "speyters" so much she often asks me to draw one. There's a worn-out cardboard box in the living room right now with a spider army drawn all over it.
- And to my surprise, she has memorized several of her board books already, including Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, I'm a Big Sister, I am a Bunny, Happy Birthday Little Pookie, and Goodnight Moon.
- The other day Mike was in his underwear, looking for his pajama bottoms. He leaned over, and Avery's patted his butt with her little hand and in her sweet 2-year-old voice proudly said, "Daddy panties."
- Riggs contentedly hangs out in my lap or his Moses basket and takes note.

Life as of Late
Life with two has its moments, but most are unbelievably sweet and wonderful. Avery is coming into her own, has a great vocabulary (including "octopust," "kaynket," and "pantyrolls" instead of ponytails), and has the sweetest, smartest, most clever and funny personality. The other day she insisted that the dog says "beep," and I could tell in her eyes that she was having a fun time kidding me. We're working on manners such as yes ma'am, please, and thank you, and potty training is slow but steady. I almost took a photo of her first, ah, deposit.
