it was worth it.
and i lived.
and even had fun.
i am super grateful to have in-laws like i have.
people who i can spend a week with.
and still love, want to talk to and look forward to seeing again soon.
it was a good week and i am so glad that i was brave enough to do it alone.
we missed doug...but my boys got a week of time and love from their family. and that was worth it.
here's our week in as few words as i can muster.
another reason that made me go.
how often would they get the to see them all at the same time?
not often.
and all but three of their grandkids.
i'm so glad i didn't wuss out.
i don't miss 5:14am wake up calls.
which moses has requested for his birthday.
norway is a special place to us and we are just heartbroken over the events there.
i had it for breakfast on sunday and lunch today.
it was SO fun to see all these little kids running around with different shades of blonde.
they were a bunch of little norges for sure.
it was a great week.
lots of memories made.
and i only made two wrong turns the ENTIRE week.
and if you know my lack of internal GPS, is pretty amazing.
somehow i feel ready to get my bum in gear and get to work.
i've ordered lots of new fabrics and plan on lots of hobo's and headbands. :)
thanks for enduring all my photos.

Norwegian wedding cake is very yummy! I got to live there for 15 months over 10 years ago - I miss that country to much! Wonderful people who know how to entertain - and how to entertain for hours! I too am heart broken about the events there. I can't believe anyone can be so brutal to individuals and their beloved country! (I don't know any nation with more pride honestly!) I love reading your blog and catching all of your references to Norway! I'm getting set to make myself the traditional Norwegian birthday cake - Blotkake! Yum!

I love it! I've spent time with my in-laws without the hubs (although never a whole week! just long weekends), and even though I doubt and waffle right before...I never regret going. Love the different shades of blonde running around. :)

Hello back,
I hope you had a good few days without any A&P input and ....hopefully are ready for more:) We are now starting my favorite section, bones and muscles. I have created lecture videos again for you to view before the class.
Please print or download the Class Notes provided below. I also suggest you print the Preview Questions. Then, watch the Lecture Videos and answer the questions. When you are done, email me the answers to [email protected] Please do so before class to receive credit for your work.
Class Notes:
Skull (full pager)
Skull (2 per page)
Skull (3 per page)
Lecture Videos
Preview Questions
(printable version)
5.1. All bones in a body put together make up a skeleton. We have four limbs attach to a central trunk to maneuver the world around us. The appendicular skeleton is composed of those limbs. What do we call the body's trunk?
5.2. Looking at a head, one sees a face and knows there is a brain behind it. A skull is composed of many bones, some concern themselves with enclosing the brain, others create the facial features. Can you list the different bones making up the skull cap/calvarium?
5.3. The first bone to consider is the one you touch scratching your forehead. It sits right in front of you head, so it's conveniently called the frontal bone. On it we find the bony part of the eyebrows as well as the roof of the eye socket. List a couple of other features of this bone.
5.4. Two other bones are behind it, one on either side, just above the ears. They make up a large bulk of the top of one's head. One of the main chewing muscles attach to it. (You can feel it by placing your fingers above the ears and biting down.) What is that bone called?
5.5. If you touch the top of your head, it is quite smooth and rounded. If you push a little deeper and rub your fingers across it lengthwise, you will likely find a shallow ridge; your finger just crossed a joint, which is a connection between two bones. Normally, we think of a joint as being in the knee or in fingers; we understand them easier, because in those, muscles move the bones around. Between skull bones, we find bony ridges of one bone interlocking with some from another. They are reinforced with collagen fibers, so that they don't really move much, just a tiny little bit. What is the suture between the two parietal bones called?
5.6. When a baby is first born, the skull plates are not fully formed. This is good, because in birth, the biggest body part is the head and if it weren't flexible, the baby would get stuck in the birth canal. Not fully formed skull plates though also leaves areas that are very soft, delicate, and vulnerable, because only a membrane protects the brain itself. What do we call the 2 main soft spots?
5.7. That brings me to the bone behind the ears. It has the ear canal in it and actually houses the entire hearing apparatus that transforms soundwaves into a nerve impulse. It also forms the posterior foundation for the cheekbone. What other features do we find on the temporal bone?
5.8. The back of your head has a couple of interesting bumps and ridges on them. Those actually form muscle attachments. Another major feature of the occipital bone is the hole for the brain to exit the head and become the spinal cord. What is that feature called?
5.9. That brings us to the inside of the chamber for the brain. Taking the top of the skull off and looking down, one can find three main areas that actually lay on three different levels. What are those areas called?
5.10. You can only see a little bit of the next bone on the outside of a skull. Most of it is on the inside, as it crosses through it from side to side. It is known as the key stone of the cranial floor. Why is that?
5.11. The last bone technically part of the calvarium that houses the brain lies behind the nose. It is very delicate and helps us with the function of smelling. What bone am I talking about?
5.12. The maxilla is the central bone of the face; all others attach to it. It's where the upper teeth attach to the bone. What are teeth sockets called?
5.13. The front part of the roof of the mouth is part of the maxilla. The back part is its own bone. What is it called?
5.14. A small bone on the medial side of each eye socket holds the drainage canal for tears. It's called the lacrimal bone. In between the two eye sockets lies the bridge of the nose. It is made up of two small bones, one on either side. What are their names?
5.15. The cheeks are made of their own bones that have quite a funny sounding, somewhat difficult name. What is it?
5.16. When one looks up the nose of a skull, we can see three rounded, downward facing plates of bone that reach out from the sides of each nasal cavity. They are covered with lots of blood vessels that can bring warmth to the area and heat up air we inhale. What is the lowest ones of those bony frameworks for our 'nose heaters' called?
5.17. The nose is divided into a right and left nasal chamber; the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone creates most of the bony wall in the middle. A 'plow' looking bone anchors the plate. What bone am I talking about?
5.18. The lower jaw bone is pretty much the only one that moves quite freely up and down. To do so, the mandible has areas of muscle attachments. The coronoid process is where the temporalis muscles, the one we discussed when looking at the parietal bones, attach. The bar looking structure on the side is for another powerful chewing muscle. What is that part of the bone called?
5.19. That brings us to the front of the neck, which houses the only bone in the body that doesn't attach to another bone and only has muscles attach to it. It helps us with swallowing. What is that bone called?
Please email me the answers before class begins to [email protected] in order to get credit for it.
During the LAB, you will be drawing bones and muscles life size onto a large paper. In this section, I ask you to work in groups of 2. One will trace the others body outline and together, you draw in the parts that we're discussing and label the terms provided on term lists. Each section will have a term list, which spells out which terms I like for you to know and study. Term List
Watch the videos to get a better understanding of how that lab works:
Also, when you study the anatomy terms, one of the best ways to get them stick in your head are retrieval exercises. I post blank pictures of the body part we study. You can print those out and use them to test your knowledge when you study. Labelling exercise
We also have LAB term description handouts. They are originally written by Dr. Hank Fabian and used in his Bio2 class. I have modified them to fit this class. They are very helpful when learning body parts. I don't mandate you use them, but recommend you print one and see how you like it in clarifying parts or aiding your study of them. Skull term description handout
Here is an audio of the in-class presentation:
These next videos are designed to show you the discussed body parts on models. They are helpful to watch because in class, we deal with the models. We also test on the same models, so it can be useful to watch those multiple times before the test. The first one was made for the bio2 class, which just shows some extra terms on it. The second video was specifically made for the Bio24 class.

Black holes
Approaching poorly lit runways at night under visual flight rules, or the dreaded black hole approach, can be challenging for even the most experienced pilots. On March 15, 2002, a 300-hour, noninstrument-rated private pilot and his three passengers were killed when their Cessna 172P crashed approaching Ocean City Municipal Airport in Ocean City, Maryland. The weather that night was VFR, very clear, and very dark.
Shortly before the accident, the pilot reported on the unicom frequency that he was 10 miles out and requested a taxi. A pilot approaching the airport at the same time witnessed the accident. He saw the 172 approach the airport, pass abeam the departure end of Runway 14, and then suddenly transition from "horizontal to vertical flight," straight down. Just before the airplane descended, the pilot witnessed both wingtip strobe lights flash at the same time one over the other, as if the airplane were in a 90-degree bank.
A witness on the ground saw the lights of the Cessna as it approached the airport and noted that the position of the airplane seemed unusual, saying that she thought it was a helicopter because of its low altitude. She saw the airplane travel south to north along the coast, then turn east out to sea. The airplane then completed a "half turn" and descended straight into the water.
The NTSB determined the cause of this accident to be the pilot's spatial disorientation, which subsequently caused him to lose control of the airplane. A factor was the dark night and reduced visual references over water.
Landing at a black hole airport can prove as difficult as an instrument approach. Such airports border or are located in areas with no surface lights and no discernable horizon to help VFR pilots maintain a proper flight attitude. In fact, black holes can exist wherever a pilot can't see anything much beyond runway lights (or focuses exclusively on the runway lights). The pilot's ability to perceive a natural horizon can become impaired when flying over water, at night, in sparsely populated areas, and in low-visibility conditions. Spatial disorientation can occur. If you are flying into a dark, low-light airport, use extra caution and don't forget to employ your basic instrument skills.
For more information about night flight, see the AOPA Air Safety Foundation's new Safety Hotspot on AOPA Online for numerous resources, including links to our Night VFR Checkup, articles, and video clips.
Kristen Hummel manages the aviation safety database for the AOPA Air Safety Foundation. She holds a commercial pilot certificate with multiengine and instrument ratings.

Postural and podiatric assessment
The podiatric examination involves several stages:
Firstly, the patient is analyzed in a static position to observe overall posture in different spatial planes. Next, the stability of the pelvis and the spine is assessed.
Following this, the gait and stride are analyzed dynamically using a podometry platform (pressure platform which also analyzes the static and posturological results).
These examinations are carried out during your first appointment.
The foot orthotics designed following this evaluation are made to measure using high-performance materials and techniques adapted to the specificity of the sports activity of each patient. The following week at the office, the patient will try them in different pairs of their shoes.
Three follow-up appointments will then be scheduled during which the efficacy of the insoles will be tested each time.
The details of the examination, the type of insoles made, and any modifications throughout the year will be noted in a podiatry journal.
The price of the initial consultation includes the clinical examination, the manufacture and fitting of the insoles, as well as the three verification appointments.
On our website, you will find information sheets specific to each sports activity, as well as my advice on how to prepare your feet for intense use without the risk of injury.

A UK storage security company has come up with an encryption-based hard drive that can be slotted into any laptop without additional hardware, software upgrades or BIOS modifications.
Stonewood's new Eclypt drive, a follow-up to the company's specialist Flagstone series, comes in either internal or external USB format, both of which transparently encrypt all data to and from the drive independent of the OS.
Using AES-256 encryption, the drive is designed to be fitted and forgotten about with minimal user key management. Unlike the full disk encryption design of rival drives on the market, the Eclypt is built around the idea that many people – up to 128 per drive - can use and access the same laptop, all with different keys. These can be stored on a token such as a USB flash drive, but for security reasons are held internally on the drive's printed circuit board (PCB) and not on the drive itself.
Integrated encryption acceleration is said to keep drive latency to a minimum. Capacities are now 60GB and 120GB in parallel-ATA or SATA interfaces, with higher capacities being mentioned for the near future.
The Eclypt is also housed in a special case that claims to be tamper-proof. Attempts to break into the drive itself by removing the casing cause key components on the drive to break, rendering the data elements of the drive useless.
"The fundamental difference between a Seagate unit and ours is that on ours the key is held on the PCB," claimed Stonewood's Grant Gutteridge, referring to the rival storage giant's full-disk encryption product, the Momentus FDE.2. "You would not be able to mount an attack on our drives because the key is not on the drive itself."
[Note: Seagate has pointed out that its drive also holds the key on the PCB when powered - they key is not in fact held on the drive, as was implied by Gutteridge, and it would resist such attacks.]
Gutteridge also extolled the virtues of the external USB-attached version of the Eclypt.
"If you're backing up to a tape device, it is unencrypted [by default]. The beauty here of using an external Eclypt is that you just back up [using encryption] and away you go," he said.
The Eclypt drives will still be sold at a premium to cover the built-in encryption and tamper-proof case design. The company was unable to quote final prices but indicated that the 120GB external unit would be "around" the £300 ($600) mark, with a 60GB internal drive costing roughly £200 ($400). The Eclypt laptop drive would be available in June, with the external drive hitting the market in August.

You should be proud of your Destiny community if you are still playing; this is because you guys are breaking records all around! Bungie has announced that the total player base of the game has hiked up to 25 million!
Bungie credits The Taken King with the big leap that the game has made in terms of player base; and that is true because only three months ago the game had 20 million registered players.
Even more so, in February this year, the total number of registered players for the game was 16 million. So even if they have not doubled it in a year, they have certainly come close.
Day-one downloads broke PlayStation records, day-one engagement saw the highest number of active players in Destiny's history, daily player engagement is now well above 3 hours per day and the Destiny community has climbed to over 25 million registered players. Since its launch, Destiny has become the most watched console game on Twitch.
So there you are, it is not just the massive player base; the game is topping Twitch too!
With so many players and so much to do, the game doesn't have conventional matchmaking; if that is a concern of yours, the developers have decided to tackle the issue head on and explained why the game is better off without it. Read more here.

For a long time smashing (in reference to grappling) was a dirty word, akin to the word footlock. With the advent of crosstraining by a handful of elite grapplers and the popularity of both Ribiero brothers and their protege Raphael Lovato Jr., smashing has become an acceptable way of conducting yourself on the mat. The idea behind the smash is pretty self explainitory, and you might even be able to draw a connection to BJJ's cousin, wrestling. Many would say that wrestling's speciality is controlling, grinding, and finishing. If you add that mentality and structure to your BJJ game, you wind up with techniques similar to what BJJ Blackbelt Liam Resnekov of VT1 Gym Sydney will show us.
Whether this is your grappling style, or if mount is all you care about, this pass is right up your alley. It's also a great technique to use for competition and it will quickly throw 7 points up on the board for you.

I'm not a science teacher but sometimes science is a great way to expand the mind and it lends itself to basic literacy and numeracy as well. Lately, we've done a couple fun experiments and art projects that all center around plants. These projects also make the classroom more colorful. They include color changing carnations, flower parts and a happy tree with hand print leaves. Happy fall and happy learning everyone!
Flashback to 2011- Life in Walagu
4 years ago today, I was in Walagu (the main Onobasulu village in PNG) fighting with the sun for power and trying to get curriculum work done with the Onobasulu despite many setbacks and crazy things happening in the village around us. My co-worker Beverly and I were joined by a student named Jenny who was completely surprised at the wide variety of tasks we needed to do on a daily basis that had little or nothing to do with the translation or literacy work. It makes sense that we would help the people we were serving and working with in a wide variety of areas but working as an electrician and a nurse were not on my resume. But sometimes you just have to make it work.
In this post from June 29th, I wrote about learning the difference between "bulk and float voltage" as well as connecting batteries with solar panels. Taking care of big batteries and connecting solar panels is not a normal task in my life now but it was just a part of village life in PNG. Who knows, maybe this will come in handy again some day:-)
In the post, I also wrote about all the medical issues we were dealing with (ear infections, terrible boils and sores as well as a broken arm). At this point we didn't realize that Beverly would eventually set the broken with directions I was getting from an emergency phone call/radio session with a doctor in Ukarumpa. Despite all the health care issues in the US, nothing compares to the problems that arise when people lack basic things like soap and access to the most basic medical care. Seriously, how do you keep a little boy, who lives and plays in the dirt, clean when his bathtub is a river with muddy banks!?
Although I don't miss the wet feet, odd infections and strange stresses of life in PNG. I do miss the people and the part of my job description that read "play with small children every chance you get". The pictures in this post were taken from a July 30th post that happened once we got back to Ukarumpa. Since we were using HF radio to send emails in the village, posting to the blog with pictures was practically impossible. But I was thankful for the power we did have to send text only blog updates via email.
Even though I'm now back in the US, the Onobasulu people are still living and working in their communities in PNG. Please continue to pray for the Onobasulu people. Pray for health, community unity and successful, continued work on Bible Translation, literacy and education.
Selling PNG and Other Onobasulu Changes
The Onobasulu Bible Translation program is once again going through some changes. Progress is being made with the Bible Translation and Literacy among other important steps for the greater Onobasulu community. But there are challenges to face and hurdles to overcome. These cover the gamut from logistics to finances and even emotions as these changes impact all parts of the greater Onobasulu community.
The main factor at the forefront right now is the decision for the main ex-pat Bible translator, Beverly, to change her assignment and work from Texas, this means selling her home and car in PNG. Anne also works on the translation away from PNG, so now the two main expat Bible Translators will be primarily living and working in their home countries, the USA and the Netherlands. There will still be a home in the village, the Walagu Lodge, but Beverly will (pending the sale) no longer have her Ukarumpa house. Please be in prayer for Beverly because selling her home is a huge emotional step and it means saying good-bye to a big part of her PNG life. Please pray that both the house and the car sell quickly and that she has the time and energy to clean out her house and take the things she needs to back to the US and store what needs to be stored in PNG.
This is Beverly in her car, in front of her house, filled with the Onobasulu co-workers. You can see Joseph's pink jacket in the back. Beverly loves pink (did you notice the pink house!?) and the Onobasulu guys also have an affinity for pink. It definitely makes Joseph easy to spot in a crowd.
Because Beverly will no longer be in PNG full-time, the Onobasulu program will have to rely even more heavily on the Onobasulu people themselves. This is a very good thing but it also means the translators need more training in order to prepare themselves for the work. Beverly is currently in PNG helping Wabele, Joseph, Yobe and Jack get through another important training course. This course will give them key knowledge in order to do more of the translation work on their own. They of course know the Onobasulu language but Bible translation requires knowledge of Greek, exegesis, hermeneutics and many other difficult concepts. These four men have been attending these courses for years now, slowly learning and working along the way. However, this was an extra course that they had not planned on attending for awhile so they are currently underfunded and need another 90% of their costs. If you feel led to give please donate at Wycliffe.org, every little bit helps. This money will go directly to fund the national Onobasulu translators and help them become more prepared for the huge task of Bible translation.
Most importantly please pray for the Onobasulu program. Please pray for Beverly as she is transitioning to a home assignment. Please pray for the Onobasulu translators: Wabele, Jack, Yobe and Joseph. And the Onobasulu literacy guys: Hauwo and Jeffery. Please pray for their families. Pray also that God would raise up another generation to help them translate and continue the literacy program for the Onobasulu people. Please pray for a smooth transition and for God to provide people on the ground in PNG to help with communication and some logistical challenges with having no full-time expat co-workers in PNG. And finally please pray that God would continue to be glorified through the Onobasulu language and that people would come to know Him because of this life changing work.
Update on Osa and Other Onobasulu Prayers and Praises
I'm happy to report that Osa is doing well after her snake bite last week which you can read about here: An Urgent Prayer Request From PNG. She's back in Walagu and there is no venom in her system. This is a huge praise! There are a lot of reasons they did not find venom even though there were bite marks on her leg, maybe it wasn't a death adder that bit her, maybe the bandaging worked or the snake that bit her had already bit something else recently so the venom wasn't strong. Whatever reason, the prayers worked and we are glad that she didn't have to have the full anti-venom shots which can often be very hard on the body. Her husband Wabele (pictured below on the computer) was with her at the hospital which is also a praise.
Another praise is that we think the cost of the helicopter and treatment is going to be covered by the oil company's community affairs fund. This is basically money that is set aside to help the communities that they impact. This is a huge praise because the cost of helicopters alone is astronomical.
While we're praising God, let's praise him that it seems like the Onobasulu airstrip is open again after two years of being closed. It has had major work done on it by the Onobasulu people and the first SIL plane will land there next week to check it out. Praise God that the Onobasulu may be able to use their airstrip instead of walking from another airstrip or paying the high cost of helicopters. Having the airstrip open greatly benefits the work of Bible Translation as well as the community in general.
Please continue to keep the Onobasulu people in your prayers. Work on the Onobasulu Bible translation and other scripture use materials is happening, people are hearing the gospel and learning more about the Bible. All of these things invite spiritual warfare. Another one of the workers named Hauwo (pictured below) has also been in the hospital with ongoing back pain, after a bad fall last year. He has been involved with the translation and literacy work from the beginning. Please pray for a full and quick recovery.
These three pictures in this post are of the 6 main Onobasulu workers- Joseph, Yobe, Jack, Wabele, Jeffery and Hauwo. Please pray for them by name and their families as the work pushes forward. Please pray for safety. Please pray for good health. Please pray for protection and care for these families as well as the entire Onobasulu community. You're continued prayers support the work of Bible translation. Thank you!
An Urgent Prayer Request From PNG
Please pray for Osa, the wife of one of our Onobasulu translators. She was bitten by a death adder and thanks to a number of extraordinary circumstances (praise God!) is at a hospital that has anti-venom and is being treated. It's surprisingly hard to find a hospital with the right stuff and death adder bites are deadly and need to be treated as soon as possible. These snakes are not erroneously named. Please pray that the venom doesn't enter her torso and that no lasting damage will be done.
Please also pray for the Onobasulu Bible translation. Many unfortunate circumstances are slowing down the translation progress. Osa being bit by a snake, another literacy co-worker in the hospital with chronic headaches (possibly the result of a serious fall last year) and the American translator getting sick enough that she couldn't fly back to PNG as planned, are just some examples of the series of events that leave us feeling spiritually attacked and oppressed. Even though I am in the US, my heart breaks for the Onobasulu, especially for the main workers and their families who seem to bear the brunt of these attacks. Even Osa is not just a translator's wife but also someone who has helped us record scripture (it's not a given that Onobasulu women can read and even if they can read, many women aren't fluent enough to record scripture). She supports the translation work in so many ways.
The translators have recently finished working on Thessalonians. And 2 Thessalonians 2 is very clear about some of the lies and ways Satan will seek to thwart God's work. Please pray for the Onobasulu. Pray that the translation work would move forward and God's word would have a powerful impact on the community. Please pray for Osa, that she would heal fully and praise God for all the extraordinary events that allowed her to get to the hospital as quickly as she did. Thank you for participating in caring for the Onobasulu through your prayers!
ESL Christmas Cheer
Today was my last day subbing for the adult ESL class. We still did some learning but all the exercises were done with red and green pens for just a little festive flair. We also listened to Christmas carolers from the other classes and a couple of my students brought in some delicious food so we had our own little celebration.
In the new year, the regular teacher will be back and I will return to subbing for many different classes. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to get to know these students better by seeing them on a regular basis. And it was very fun to kick off Christmas break with some food and unscripted time together.
"My" Classroom
Welcome to my classroom. Well, it's not really my classroom because another teacher uses it for the evening class and I'm just the substitute for the morning class. But for the next three weeks, at least, I will be teaching the morning ESL class for pre-literate students. I've already been subbing for this class part-time and I jumped at the chance to take over the class full-time when the other substitute needed to back out due to prior commitments.
The students in this class are great. They are adults from the surrounding community and include Spanish and Thai speakers. We're doing very basic English but it's fun to watch the students discover and help them with the challenges of English.

Summer is the perfect time of year for you to take stock of your overall physical and mental health, and make a few changes to your diet and lifestyle that will help you look fit and fabulous. If you feel like you have been hiding away all winter, then now is the time to start to make some changes to your meal plans, the amount of exercise that you are enjoying on a daily basis, and even cutting back on your favorite foods. This way you can get into even better shape than ever before. Chances are, your family will love the new you and will want to stick to a new and improved routine.
Check up
Before undertaking any summer diet or lifestyle makeover, it is vital that you book in to see your local health practitioner or doctor, so that you can discuss any history or illness in your family, or even those aches and pains that you have been ignoring for the past few weeks. Make sure that you get your height and weight checked out too, in addition to your blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Make the most of this appointment, as you may be advised to make some serious changes to your diet. Your health practitioner may also tell you that you need to up your consumption of certain vitamins or supplements too if you are not getting enough from your meal plans alone. You can shop around and find the best price for your vitamins and supplements such as America Vitaminas melatonina. Once you are aware of your current fitness or health, then you can begin to make those changes that will help you to feel fighting fit and ready for anything. Be sure to book your entire family in for a checkup so that you can all get ready and prepared together.
You should also take time to check in with your mental health also, as planning a family vacation may make you feel fractious and even more stressed than usual. Be sure to take time for yourself and do what you need to, so that you regain control of your emotions. From enjoying a quick walk around your local park to a lunchtime jog or even enjoying time out in nature, there are a range of ways that you can make the most of the summer weather while reducing your overall stress and improving your mental health at the same time. It pays to check in with your mental health; as if you do not look after yourself you may even put yourself at risk of a more serious complaint in later life.
Get cooking
Believe it or not, your summer body will be made in the kitchen! Plus, summer is the ideal time of year to experiment with new delicious recipes that are lower in calories and filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables. If your kids are keen to learn more about food, then be sure to invite them into the kitchen and let them help out with chopping and preparing meals that your entire family can enjoy all together. You could also visit your local farmers market to pick up some fresh produce and help your kids to better understand the importance of eating well. So, if you are looking to teach your children about making healthy choices, then summer is the ideal season to get everyone involved. When planning your summer recipes, be sure to choose grilled meats or fish over baked or fried options and load up your plate with fresh salads, grilled vegetables, and quinoa or brown rice. If your family enjoys take out, then you could try cooking up your own home-cooked versions of your family favorites as these will contain fewer levels of salt and sugar. Try tacos or fajitas with homemade salsa and guacamole, while you make mocktails that are alcohol-free so that your kids can feel like they are dining in style too. You can enjoy the odd cocktail and ice cream or candy also, but just have a few sinful items each week. Remember that it is ok to have sweet treats in moderation. By making a few swaps, you can make the most of summer to get healthier and slim down in the process.
Take care
If you enjoy spending time outdoors and making the most of the summer season, then it is vital that you ensure your entire family is prepared and ready before you leave the house. Be sure to pack sunscreen if you are planning a day out at the beach or your local, national park, and make sure that you cover your kids with a high factor to prevent any damage from UV rays. Smaller children should also wear a hat to cover their delicate scalps. Make sure that you pack plenty of fluids, such as chilled water and fresh juices to ensure that your entire family stays hydrated and healthy while you are on the go. If you want to treat your kids to ice cream, then opt for water-based sorbet over cream and sugar-laden options, as these contain high levels of fat and calories. You could even get creative and create your own ice pops by using yogurt. Take care in the warm weather so that you avoid getting a sunburn, or worse, heatstroke. Whenever you are out and about be sure to keep a first aid kit in your care and carry extra aspirin or medication to tackle those summer headaches and hay fever or other allergies.
Get active
If you are looking to lose weight and tone up, then summer is the perfect time to get outdoors and begin your exercise routine. From enjoying a gentle stroll with your friends to a lunchtime jog at the office or even planning a bike ride and picnic with your family, you can make exercise fun and enjoyable in little to no time at all. If you are looking to slim down and shape up, then try attending an outdoors class and shake up your usual gym routine. You could also see if any fitness events are being held in your local area so that you have a goal to train for and reach to provide extra summer motivation. Make the most of the warmer weather to get up, active, and enjoy the sun with your entire family. You don't need to pay a fortune on a personal trainer or an expensive gym membership to get in shape for the summer either, in fact, you can make the most of what you have around you and at home to help you slim down and tone up. So, if you are going to use the summer to get in shape, then you could try giving yourself a time period or a program to follow to help you get the results that you need before your vacation or break. Try reducing your overall calorie consumption to create a deficit, as this will enable you to lose weight and improve your overall muscle tone. Try upping your protein levels, such as enjoying an egg white omelet for breakfast and lean chicken or meat for lunch and dinner. You should also lift heavier weights, to help you to shed stubborn body fat and make you look toned and taller.
Summer is the perfect time of year to give your entire family a health check-up. Make sure that you visit the doctor to check your overall fitness levels and discuss any recurring aches or issues that are causing you pain. Be sure to check out your mental health also, and make sure that you take time to relax and unwind. Invite your entire family into the kitchen and get everyone involved in shopping and preparing your meals, so that you can learn more about your diet and nutrition all together as a family. Enjoy sweet treats and summer goodies in moderation, so that you can create a calorie deficit to help you to lose weight. Be sure to take extra care in the sun, and use a high factor sunscreen in addition to drinking a lot of fluids and water when you are out and about with your family. Finally, if you are looking to get in great shape then make the most of the sun to get out and about. Try hiking, jogging or even plan a bike ride to get your entire family involved. Once the summer is over, you may even feel inspired enough to make these changes a permanent fix. Be sure to rethink your fitness routine and try out a summer program so that you can get beach body ready. Lift heavier weights so that you can slim down and look more toned while reducing stubborn body fat. So, what are you waiting for? If the sun is out, you can start to make a difference that will benefit your health and that of your family also.

This Tutorial explains how to install TwonkyMedia Server 7, a very efficient uPnP media server, on a DNS-325 NAS.
TwonkyMedia Server is one of the most efficient uPnP network server, able to stream music to some wireless network clients like :
Roku Soundbridge
Philips NP2500 or NP2900
It allows to browse easily a huge mp3 database (15k+), thru tags like genre/artist/album and can efficiently replace Firefly media server.
Twonkymedia server main drawback is not to be free and to need an activation key to run. But, on the other end, you will get an unlimited activation key with every Philips network media player you buy. Point to be noted, a Twonkymedia server key will work on any number of servers and on any type of supported OS.
As a pre-requisite, you must have installed Fun_plug 0.7 following DNS 325 - Fun_plug 0.7 : Extend your NAS possibilities.
1. Install TwonkyMediaServer
We will install Twonkymedia Server under /ffp/opt/twonky/ and its data (database, covers, ...) will be stored under /ffp/opt/twonky/data/.
First thing is to check which is the latest available version of Twonkymedia Server from the "NAS and other OS" section of the forum http://www.twonkyforum.com/viewforum.php?f=8.
You need to download version for Kurobox Pro device, which is compatible with the DNS-325.
At the time of this guide, it was version 7.0.8 available from http://www.twonkyforum.com/downloads/7.0.8-Special/
From the NAS console, throw these commands to install the package :
# mkdir -p /ffp/opt/twonky/data/
# cd /ffp/opt/twonky
# wget http://www.twonkyforum.com/downloads/7.0.8-Special/twonky-kurobox-pro-special-7.0.8.zip
# unzip twonky-kurobox-pro-*.zip
# rm Terms* twonky-kurobox-pro-*.zip
# chmod +x twonkyserver twonkystarter plugins/* cgi-bin/*
2. Create Startup Script
We now need to create the starter script /ffp/start/twonky.sh for the server to start at every NAS boot.
# PROVIDE: twonky
. /ffp/etc/ffp.subr
route add -net 220.127.116.11 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev egiga0
cd /ffp/opt/twonky
mkdir -p /ffp/opt/twonky/data/
/ffp/opt/twonky/twonkystarter -logfile /dev/null -appdata /ffp/opt/twonky/data/ >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
killall twonkystarter
route del -net 126.96.36.199 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev egiga0
run_rc_command "$1"
3. TwonkyMedia Configuration
We also need to provide the default configuration file /ffp/opt/twonky/twonkyserver-default.ini for the Twonkymedia server
# for Linux/NAS systems this is the basedirectory used for content sharing (prepended to all shares)
# CSV list of all shares, prepended by the type (A,M,P,V) and a '+' or '-' sign to flag enabled or disabled shares
# directory for cached/transcoded files
# Visible name in the network
friendlyname=Sound of Freedom
# access to web config pages, 0 for denied, 1 for local only, 2 for open
# -1 for evented, 0 for disabled, positive value for rescan time in minutes
# on base URL start media browser and not config pages
# menus which are supressed on web config pages
# directory where metadata database is stored
4. First Server Launch
Once everything is setup, we can try to start the server daemon :
# sh /ffp/start/twonky.sh start
You should now be able to connect to the Twonkymedia server web interface on port 9000 of your NAS : http://your.nas.ip.address:9000/config
From this interface, first things to do is to enter the registration key.
Then from menu "Settings / Sharing", you have to set the path to you music files :
- /HD/HD_a2/xxxxx for your first disk or RAID setup
- /HD/HD_b2/xxxxx for your second disk
If everything is running fine, you should see your music database being scanned under Settings / Status / Detailed status.
As everything is running fine, you just need to allow the server to start at every NAS boot :
# chmod +x /ffp/start/twonky.sh
5. Listen on Roku client
From your Roku Soundbridge, you can now browse your complete music database by selecting :
- Library "The Sound of Freedom"
- Menu "Browse".
Enjoy !

I was bored yesterday so I went to Lew Rockwell and perused some old Gary North articles (but only for the rhetorical verve). I found this interesting gem that dovetailed nicely with John's comments on Scottish Economic development.
North sees those countries who took the Old Testament seriously, especially its regard to Covenant and Community, and noted, other things being equal, that they became economic powerhouses. We can hazard a few guesses as to why:
- Since God's law came from God, to whatever degree it still applies today, its moral principles when applied to daily live have positive benefits (common sense realism even, since God's world is reliable).
- The covenant is future-oriented. Interestingly, sound economic principles are also future-oriented.
- Dominion economics: North notes how the Dutch, a tiny country with few defenses and surrounded by powers, became a strong power: they simply worked hard and believed God would triumph in their labors. The same with the Scots.
It's further interesting that all these groups (maybe excepting the Armenians. I did study up on Armenian Orthodoxy a few years ago, but the materials were too scanty to make it a worthwhile endeavor) engaged in frugality, innovation, and profit-and-loss.

Self-knowledge through drug-use???
Jiddu Krishnamurti quote
Q: I think it is possible under certain drugs to
know myself with analysis - there is no conflict.
K: If one takes LSD or various forms of drugs that helps a great deal, because in that there is not conflict at all. So you please take drugs. Does it really, does any drug, LSD, marijuana, any of them - does it really expose the totality of the content of consciousness, or does it bring about chemically a certain state of mind which is totally different from the understanding of oneself? These drugs - I have never taken them - they have taken them in India a great deal - I watched many people there. I have also watched students in universities in America, and many, many other people who have been taking various forms of drugs, LSD, marijuana, you know I don't know what all the other names are - psychedelic drugs. If you have observed, these drugs do affect the mind, the brain cells themselves. They destroy the brain. If you have talked to one or many of those who have taken drugs, they can't reason, they can't pursue a logical sequence of thought - and the doctors and the scientists are beginning to say it does destroy the very structure of the brain cells. Not only LSD but marijuana, which is much more dangerous than LSD because that leaves a toxic condition in the brain cells and is more difficult to get rid of. In India they have taken drugs for millions, for thousands of years and they are the most ignorant people who have taken drugs. And all the so-called intellectuals in India have denied it, said don't do it, touch it. I am not asking you not to take it, it's up to you, but when you see the effect of it, on people - they have no sense of responsibility, they think they can do anything they like, many, many hospitals are full of these people who mentally are unbalanced through drugs.
Q: I find your sequence of thought illogical. And also I cannot see how you can argue against drugs if you have not any experience of taking drugs.
K: Ah wait. How can you argue against drugs if you have not taken drugs yourself? Must you go through various forms of experience, must you get drunk in order to understand sobriety? Must you get angry in order to find out what it is not to be angry? Must you over eat in order - and so on and so on. Can't one observe without going through all the human mischief?

Long-term crisis can't be the "new normal", says László Andor on the EU's 60th anniversary.
The European Union has arrived at the 60th anniversary of its founding act, the Treaty of Rome, with more soul-searching than determination about its future. The long crisis of recent years has weakened the EU, not only economically but also politically. Looking ahead to another six decades is entirely illusory when the future seems to depend on what happens in the next six months.
Ever closer union has been replaced by ever shorter cycles of political survival. In 2014, various euro-sceptic forces increased their representation in the European Parliament at the expense of the centre-left, the centre-right and the liberals. More recently, the UK referendum triggered the first ever departure from the EU. And the US has elected a president whose language and behaviour runs contrary to the key principles of European integration and the liberal world order in general.
In Brussels-speak we often call a shock a "wake-up call". Surely without intention, this implies that the normal functioning in the EU is sleeping, unless something extraordinary happens. It has also been observed that quite many in European politics have a remarkable ability to fall asleep again after any size of a "wake-up call". This has been demonstrated in the last year after both the UK referendum and the US presidential election.
Of the two 2016 earthquakes, Brexit requires more urgent action, but for the long-run, the winds of change from Washington signal a greater shock for Europe that necessitates deeper structural adjustment. With Brexit, the EU and the UK still have the chance to replace a controversial membership with a beautiful friendship. With the rise of US President Donald Trump, on the other hand, the EU needs to do what has not been done in 25 years: find out how the US could be allowed to diminish its presence in Europe and establish new structures to guarantee security, prosperity and sustainability.
Today and probably also tomorrow the White House is more inclined to challenge rather than support the EU - and specifically Germany - as an economic powerhouse. Current US policy under Trump (and perhaps a new US/UK partnership) takes aim at the trade surpluses of countries like Germany and China, but this view is driven by a misunderstanding of the origin of German and Chinese surpluses (manipulation of currencies and exploiting a liberal world economic order in general). US and UK trade deficits are rather due to having too much finance and military and not enough industrial policy. Besides, rampant inequality is doing more harm than good for their economic performance.
The US today does not have an economic or social model that can be exported to the rest of the world. And after the Brexit launch and under Donald Trump, the new US/UK position vis-a-vis the eurozone bilaterally and through the IMF will be entirely different. Making the euro self-sustaining is a lot more urgent than most people would believe.
At this stage, EU leaders must be fully awake to see and deal with the simultaneous challenge of a new global reality and the trend of internal weakening. Consolidation and improved functioning require not just minor repair-work, but bold innovation and a complete overhaul in some areas, like the European Monetary Union (EMU). The EU can live with imbalances, but it cannot live with sustained divergence. Simply "managing expectations", and selling a long-lasting crisis as a "new normal" can only reinforce the trend of disintegration.
The long financial and debt crisis vindicated Anglo-American economists regarding the feasibility of a monetary union that hardly goes beyond currency board arrangements. The recent book by Nobel prize winner Joseph Stiglitz leaves no doubt that at Maastricht the EU introduced the wrong model for monetary union.
In expert communities, much progress has been made in recent years concerning necessary reforms. In politics, this seems to be an uphill struggle. Wedded to the wrong narrative, leading politicians of "surplus countries" still cannot sell to their publics what is needed to make monetary union sustainable: risk-sharing instruments and a counter-cyclical fiscal capacity. In the absence of those, the Eurozone is still swimming naked towards the next economic crisis.
The EU - and in particular the Eurozone - needs to stabilise itself, while at the same time investing more in stabilising its neighbourhood. This does not simply require more spending in the areas of defence and migration management, but an integrated agenda of security, mobility, economic reconstruction and development. A renewed policy would redefine Turkey as part of the EU neighbourhood (especially if the current slide into an authoritarian regime turns out to be irreversible), and keep the focus of enlargement negotiations on the western Balkans.
The noble goal of the European Union is to create unity out of diversity. Diversity has grown, and the community has become not only much larger,but also more heterogeneous and imbalanced. But ever-deeper economic integration among nation states still holds the key to peace and prosperity in Europe. Probably very few question this most basic principle of the union. However, what form of economic integration is best in a given period and a given composition, is not so obvious.
There must be debates about alternative scenarios. The new White Paper by the European Commission supports this endeavor. Options exist, and if muddling through remains the preferred mode of operation for centrist political forces, they can no longer blame fringe parties. In order to rekindle confidence in the EU, they must choose a model that engages better with its citizens, protects them from global risks and helps improve economic perfomance together with social standards. This will regain the trust that is required.
On stage recently at the Hertie School, and in the company of German philosopher Jürgen Habermas, French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron and German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel again committed to a Franco-German investment partnership, calling it a European New Deal. The expression might be overused, but the idea and its implementation are absolutely vital. Though security is a legitimate concern as well, the biggest mistake the EU could make this year is to simply replace the New Deal with a War Deal. If fiscal constraints have to be reformed for more investment, growth and jobs, this should indeed be a priority.
There is such thing as treaty fatigue but the treaty does allow for improvements and innovations. It has allowed already for some initial steps to establish a banking union or to implement an investment plan. The EU can move ahead without treaty change in the short term, but it cannot move an inch without vision, leadership and determination.

The Woodinville Water District, formerly King County Water District No. 104, is a municipal corporation of King County, Washington. King County Water District No. 104 was established in 1959 and we officially became known as the Woodinville Water District in 1985.
The District engineer prepared the first comprehensive plan for water development in August of 1960. Construction of the first part of the system was completed and the District was able to commence serving water to its customers in January of 1963.
The District purchases all its water supply from the City of Seattle for distribution to its customers. The majority of our water comes from the Tolt River Watershed but occasionally we receive water from the Cedar River Watershed. From 1963 to the present, the District has grown to an area of approximately 30 square miles. In 1969, the District started providing sewer service to a small portion of customers and thus became a water and sewer district, but has chosen to keep our name as Woodinville Water District.
In the first year of operation the District served 14 million gallons of water. In 1973 annual consumption was 243 million gallons. In 2004 we purchased over 1.5 billion gallons of water and in 2016 we sold just under 1.5 billion gallons of water. The Woodinville Water District presently is the tenth largest water and sewer district in King County, serving approximately 14,350 water customers and just over 3,000 sewer customers.
Currently the District maintains over 295 miles of water main ranging in size from 4-16 inches, 8 steel reservoirs, 43 pressure reducing stations, five water and two sewer pump stations, and other related facilities. The District expects to continue expanding its facilities to meet the needs of its customers.
The organization of the District includes an elected five-member Board of Commissioners, supported by a General Manager and staff of thirty-four employees.

If you are smarty pants and want to stay that way, or even if you want to boost your brain power, here are some activities to consider:
Exercise helps keep your brain connections active and intact, you will also learn in a quicker manner and energize your whole body. This is because exercise boosts mitochondria which produces energy in the body. Exercise also helps with circulation and strong blood flow, which is important for optimal brain function.
Get plenty of sleep; sleep literally resets your brain and allows you to open up to new perspectives. When someone suggests you "sleep on it," they are giving you sage advice. Have you ever woken up at 2am with a great idea, or the solution to a problem? It is because you have allowed your brain to rest and get creative in thought.
De-stress through relaxation, meditation, yoga, and listening to soothing music. Make it a point to participate in easy going activities like crafting, walking, blowing bubbles, or watching clouds. A stressed system sends harmful chemicals over the hippocampus and other brain areas involved with memory.
Laugh! Laughter promotes the feel-good chemical dopamine. You do not have to go too far on YouTube to find some pretty funny videos; especially some of the animal videos. Check out Cat Gone and these adorable Pugs.
Play challenging games! Do brain games like Sodoku or Cross Word Puzzles. Have an iPad or Smartphone? Download games like Boggle or PopWords. This sort of play will keep your brain pliable and young.
Be sure to check out my next blog for even more ideas!

However, it's probably the most important book I could read for my relationship with myself and with my daughter Hannah as she gets older.
Empowered YOUth is the heartfelt story of Michael and Jeffrey Eisen, who rose up from a tumultuous, emotional past to come together in a loving, respectful relationship as father and son, coach and student. Through this engaging narrative, they provide a refreshing perspective on how parents and kids can work together to empower one another by opening the channels of communication, dissolving fear, and surrendering the need for control.
As I was reading the book, following Michael and Jeffrey's stories, I saw a lot of myself and people I know in their journeys. The most important point I personally took away from this book is that support from people in your life empowers you - regardless of your age.
The book isn't at all preachy, and Michael and Jeffrey are honest and humble when describing how they came to be the Founder of the Youth Wellness Network and a successful Life Coach respectively.
They focus on showing you how to look positively at situations versus negatively, preferring to look at that infamous glass as half-full. Blaming someone or something else for your current circumstance versus being open to challenges as teaching experiences. Being fearful versus being faithful.
An example they provide is:
"I will never be rich." (Fear Thought and reality for most parents)
"I'm intelligent and resourceful, and I'll always have enough money." (Faith Thought)
There is a wonderful Resources section at the end of the book to help readers put in to practise the simple and straight-forward tactics Michael and Jeffrey used to change their lives.
Check out the book trailer:
This book has taught me that I need to be a "life coach" for my daughter as much as I need to be her mother. It has taught me we all have paths and coincidences in this life - which is a journey not a destination (as Michael and Jeffrey mention many times). I know this is a resource I will reference again and again as Hannah gets older.
If you are a parent, teacher or someone who works with youth, this book is your guide to "Do As I Do" versus "Do As I Say." Join Michael and Jeffrey's journey while you embrace your own. Empower youth and empower yourself.
You can order Empowered YOUth from Amazon. The book will also be available in stores on October 1, 2012.
Disclosure: I received an e-copy of this book in order to write the review. Thoughts and opinions are all my own.

This palette has already received ALOT of hype in the beauty community but there is a reason why. It's a fabulous, multi-purpose product, and ever since I purchased it, I can't stop using this palette! It comes with three shades: Dim Light, Incadescent Light & Radiant Light. Dim Light is a neutral peach beige that doesn't contain any shimmer, and blurs imperfections. I use it to set my foundation. Incadescent Light contains shimmer, and its a pearly colour that highlights the face beautifully on the cheekbones and under the brow bone. Finally, I like to use Radiant Light as a blush to warm up my cheeks. It's a gorgeous golden beige that adds a lovely depth and warmth to the cheeks. If you are a lighter complexion, you could also use this as a bronzer. These powders all very finely milled and feel amazing on the face. When I wear, them separately or all together, I just feel like my skin looks flawless and glowing. SO worth the money.
- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette - $86.00 AUD
PS: The price has just dropped for these at Mecca Maxima, from $95 to $86!

Through my blogging I have been lucky enough to meet some fabulous people who both inspire and support me when it comes to dealing with our food restrictions.
One such person is a lady called Mel who runs the blog Le Coin de Mel. Not only does she have four children (which in my mind is incredible in itself to still remain sane!), one of them has multiple food allergies…and she still takes it all in her stride, managing to fit in work as well!
Anyway, she agreed to write a guest post for me introducing herself to you all. If you don't already know her then go and say hello…
Hi, I am Mel, a mum-of-four. I have a lovely family: hubby is my rock, my children dote on each other (most of the time) and we are all really excited at the moment as our new baby girl was born on Monday. Life does not get any better.
Until Jumpy reacted to wheat when she was six months old in May last year and was rushed to A&E, we knew nothing about allergies. After blood tests were carried out, it turned out she was allergic to all nuts, seeds, pulses, wheat, eggs, cow's milk protein and possibly soya as well. Finding out Jumpy had a wide range of life-threatening allergies was a huge shock for me and I would lie if I did not admit to being terrified about it all, especially since this was all so alien to me.
It might sound odd, but the diagnosis of allergy also gave me some sense of relief. I could finally pinpoint what was causing the awful eczema, insomnia and swelling my baby had been suffering from since I had started weaning her. I also had a list of foods to exclude from her diet rather than guesstimating, compulsively writing a food diary and taking photos after every meal, comparing the photos constantly to see what might be making the rashes worse.
I am very lucky to have an incredibly laid-back husband who can diffuse situations, and the fact he does not tend to panic in stressful situations enables me to take a step back, too. Without him, I think I would make a big thing about her allergies rather than accepting them as being part of our everyday life.
It has only been a year since diagnosis and Jumpy is still very young (19 months), but so far, we have tried our very best not to overreact or make her feel different in any way. We do not get panicky in her presence when people start eating peanut butter near her or drop a few breadcrumbs on the floor. Let's just say the handheld hoover gets a lot of use after the older two have been eating cake, bread or anything with nuts in. Cross-contamination is always a risk but we are determined not to isolate our little girl or make her feel different in any way.
Going out can be tricky as you have to be incredibly vigilant but if we were forever scared, we would end up not doing anything. We still go to playgroups and I make sure she goes nowhere near the play dough table (wheat) and keep her close to me when biscuits are being handed out half-way, as little ones tend to drop their biscuits or crumbs on the floor (flour, dairy, eggs… you name it, she is allergic to pretty much every ingredient in biscuits).
Being prepared helps. I never go out without her allergy kit (Epipen, antihistamines, creams and 'action plan'); there is always a zippy bag full of 'emergency' food and formula in my handbag so if we ever decide to be spontaneous and go out for food, we can be!
At times her skin just flares up pretty badly and we are not sure what caused it; it might be preservatives in food, lack of caution on our part, poorly labelled food or pollen, but we now have creams, ointments and medicine that can help reduce the symptoms and that is reassuring as it makes it all manageable.
I started blogging a few months ago to share ideas and tips, 'free from' recipes and I also use the blog as a creative space where I post photos, write about fun activities, cooking and crafts we get up to with the children. I sometimes ramble a bit as well.
That is how Vicki and I 'met' virtually and started sharing tips and life experiences. It has been great finding a friend in Vicki. What our children are experiencing might be very different but both of them are on exclusion diets and we have to adapt our cooking to cater for their needs and avoid life-threatening situations. That creates strong bonds.
I have always been a keen cook, but when we found out about her extensive range of allergies, I had to cook pretty much everything from scratch for Jumpy, even stock or ice cream. It was really difficult to start with when I went back to work or when we were going on holidays. Things have got easier and easier as we have found some 'cheats' we could use, brands that cater for her range of allergies and staple foods we could buy in the shops. There is actually quite a lot she can eat without me having to make huge changes in the recipes.
Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea about all the groups on social media out there and felt rather isolated. I do not want any mum to feel like I did: lost and scared for my baby. Chatting to other people in similar situations might not be what helps your child the most, but it will certainly make you feel better, and to be a decent parent, you have to be well yourself.
According to Allergy UK, "Allergy is widespread and affects approximately one in four of the population in the UK at some time in their lives. Each year the numbers are increasing with as many as half of all those affected being children."
If you have a minute, come and say hello on my little blog, Le Coin de Mel. I would love to hear your story, share tips and recipes with you.

When Should a Woman Seek Care in the PEAPOD Clinic?
Many women begin experiencing pelvic floor symptoms during their pregnancy. While some of these symptoms will resolve after delivery, many women have bothersome symptoms that can be addressed during pregnancy and should be discussed with a primary obstetrician-gynecologist.
Obstetrician-gynecologists may recommend that women consult with one of the urogynecologists in the PEAPOD clinic during pregnancy or after delivery.
We offer appointments within one week to all pregnant or recently delivered women. We recommend that women with severe obstetric lacerations or tears are seen within one week of delivery.
Our multidisciplinary providers are in clinic together every Friday afternoon to care for new mothers. Often, we find that patients only need one visit to reassure them that they are healing correctly.
However, if a patient has a more complicated recovery, she may be seen multiple times. Once a patient has recovered properly, she will resume care with her primary obstetrician gynecologist.
One of the urogynecologists in the PEAPOD clinic may conduct additional tests of your pelvic floor and anal sphincter muscles, including:
