but your gorgeous smile…
Feeling ashamed of your teeth can be extremely corroding on your self-confidence. And for some people, the idea of orthodontic treatment can feel just as damaging.
While traditional braces have come a long way in the past 10 years they're not without their challenges.
They're still visible in your mouth
They still restrict the types of foods you can eat (don't want to knock a piece loose..)
And they can still cause some discomfort to lips and cheeks, especially as your mouth adjusts to them
And they simply make many people feel self-conscious.
Invisalign doesn't.
Book a FREE Invisalign Assessment. We will examine your mouth, eliminate all risk factors and assess the correct course of treatment.
Unlike traditional braces, which use wires and bands, cemented to teeth to slowly shift their position, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners, similar to teeth whitening trays.
Unlike your teeth whitening trays, your Invisalign aligners are customised using 3-D computer imaging technology, allowing us to show you the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position.
From there, your entire series of aligners are custom made for a perfect, low-profile fit, that is designed to be worn–but not seen.
Your friends, coworkers and even family will never even know you're wearing them.
Unlike traditional braces, where adjustments must be made at the practice, with Invisalign, you'll replace your aligner every 2 weeks with the next one in the series, until the final position is achieved.
You simply take them out to eat or drink, brush your teeth when you're done (to prevent staining*), and slip them back in.
Invisalign works best when worn for 22 hours a day–so any time you are not eating or drinking anything (except water–you can leave them in for that!). Most patients have a total treatment time of 18 months. At the completion of your Invisalign treatment, Bexley Dental includes a free take-home whitening kit, worth $199, to help you celebrate your new smile.
In many cases, Invisalign can be used in place of traditional braces for a more comfortable, discreet, and convenient treatment.
If Invisalign is recommended for you, then the results are in your hands. If you wear your aligner as directed, there is no reason
Invisalign cannot work as well as traditional braces. And usually faster too.

Frequently Asked Questions
A removable retainer is used to ensure all of your teeth are kept in their final position. This is a clear tray (similar to your Invisalign) that is worn at night. The removable retainer is included in your Invisalign fee.
A fixed retainer is a wire fixed to the inside of your teeth and can be placed so that a removable retainer can be worn less frequently as time goes on (see photo below). This is a small extra fee at the end of your
treatment if you wish to do so.
Having at least one form of retainer for life is essential to keeping your teeth in their new position.
- Pay up front: Receive a 5% discount off the total fee.
- Pay as You Go: 35% deposit paid at your initial visit. The remaining balance is then divided into equal amounts to be paid at each review appointment.
- Customised Payment plan. This can be with $0 deposit and as little as $47 per week with MiFund (interest applies).
This includes your consultation, X-rays, photographs, design and manufacture of the Invisalign aligners, all appointments required, and removable retainers at the end of treatment. It also includes FREE tooth whitening that can be completed during or immediately after your teeth are straight.

Well it's been a while since my last post! Sometimes life throws you little curve balls that keeps us from doing the things we love. My apologies to all my loyal followers for not sharing lately. It's been a crazy past 6 months but I thought it was time to share a little of what's been going on in the word of Fab Photo!
Engagement shoot with Travis and Lindsay way back in…well…that was quite some time ago but despite the chill in the air, we had some fun at Commerce Place and the Muttart Conservatory.
A first birthday with Jayden and my first cake smash shoot…now that was fun!!
A family portrait session with Danny, Marlene and Valentina.
Headshots for acting student Isabelle Chatelain.
Shooting a Porsche event for Modern Autobody in Edmonton. It's all about Porsche!
And finally learning some new photoshop post processing. Yeah, that's right…the guy who used to keep it simple with the basics is going to the dark side. More on this little experiment later but stay tuned for some composite work with some cars, guys, guns, girls and yoga?
Below are a few images from the archives. Resurrected and retouched using some of the techniques I have been playing around with. So in the spirit of disclosure, these images are… well…photoshopped!
Until next time…

While your site's domain name is being indexed by the Domain Name Server (DNS), the internet's equivalent of a phone book, (typically a 24-72 hour process), you may find that your domain name redirects to a temporary address — the Server Trust address.
If this continues to happen even after your site's been "propagated" — the technical term for your site's info being updated across the internet — try correcting it by taking these 3 simple steps:
- In your Admin Area, go to Settings > Company
- Change the Domain Name menu from your temporary hostname to your registered domain name
- Click Save
Voila! Your store url should now display your real domain name (no longer the Server Trust address).
However, if you see the message below, don't fret yet! 😟
ERROR: No store configured at "http://www.domain.com/". If you have just changed your DNS, please allow 24-72 hours before changing this value.
There are a couple of logical explanations:
- Too soon. You may have attempted to change from your temporary hostname before your domain's new Volusion Name Servers (NS1.VOLUSION.COM, NS2.VOLUSION.COM, NS3.VOLUSION.COM, and NS4.VOLUSION.COM) are fully propagated.Solution: Wait at least 24-72 hours before attempting to select your domain in the Domain Name drop-down.
- Domain name change. If you changed the Name Servers for a domain not associated with your hosting plan, you will not be able to configure that domain to point at your store. Solution: Contact Volusion Support to get instructions about initiating a domain name change.
If you're still unable to change the domain name of your store after more than 72 hours, check out the following articles on DNS:
- Configuring Your Domain for Use With Your Volusion Store
- Pointing to a Subdomain
And if those don't do the trick, contact Volusion support, 📱 📧 and we'll be happy to help you. 😀

Word Routes
Exploring the pathways of our lexicon
Of Clunkers and Junkers
Leaders in the U.S. House of Representative recently reached an agreement on a plan that would award vouchers of up to $4,500 to car owners who trade in older vehicles for more fuel-efficient models. The proposed legislation has a nickname that is memorably alliterative: "Cash for Clunkers." How did clunker become the favored American word for cars that are past their prime?
The "cash for clunkers" legislation currently before Congress owes its roots to a proposal floated by the administration of Bush the Elder back in 1992. The idea, then as now, is to get older gas guzzlers off the road for the environmental benefits. And by making the owners of "clunkers" eligible for vouchers to buy new cars, the hope is that the auto industry would receive a much-needed boost of consumer spending. A similar program has succeeded in Germany, where car sales have recently rebounded sharply.
The word clunker is richly evocative of the noises — the clunks — that typify old, dilapidated cars. It shares in this automotive onomatopoeia (automatopoeia?) with other epithets like rattler or rattle trap. And it also rhymes with junker, which — along with junkheap — suggests even more serious deterioration, referring to cars that are beyond repair and ready for the scrapyard.
Junker and clunker date back to the 1930s, when a critical mass of rattling wrecks were gracing American roadways. These were preceded by older terms for broken-down cars, like flivver, tin lizzie, crate, and jalopy. The last of these is attested from the mid-'20s, originally spelled in many different ways: jaloopy, jalupie, jaloppy, jaloppi, joloppy, and so forth. Despite these many variants, the origins of jalopy remain unknown. Some have suggested a connection to the Mexican town of Jalapa (famous for its jalapeño peppers), where scrapped American cars were supposedly sent.
Junkers and clunkers were available terms by the time Walter Winchell wrote in his syndicated "On Broadway" column in April 1936 about the meaning of the word he spelled jollopy:
Regarding the word "jollopy" which a Mirror editorial writer recently wondered about. He said: "What's it really mean?" A Detroit man says jollopy means an old car, junkers, old hacks, rattlers, clunkers. They are the headaches of the auto dealer.
The following year, on October 5, 1937, the Los Angeles Times reported on a "midget car" festival called "the carnival of the clunkers": "the small car jockeys ... will all be thrown together in absolutely strange cars, and will not have helpful advice of the great mechanics and master minds of the game available." And on March 5, 1939, the Daily Northwestern of Oshkosh, Wisconsin announced that the local auto dealers' association was arranging a bonfire of old wrecks, preceded by a parade: "Some of the 'old clunkers' will be dragged through the streets followed by new cars featuring all of the latest safety gadgets."
During World War II, clunker came to refer to outmoded military vehicles like planes and ships. As the Chicago Tribune observed on August 2, 1944, naval clunkers served an important role in the war effort: "Naturally the old clunkers, the 1914 battleships, four stacker destroyers, and other obsolete craft that have served so valiantly in this war, will go to the scrapping yards when it is over, but a tremendous force of modern ships will remain."
In the postwar era, automotive clunkers and junkers persisted, becoming firmly entrenched in the lingo of used car dealers. Sometimes clunkers and junkers were lumped together: a used car ad in the Mason City, Iowa Globe-Gazette of Oct. 8, 1949 promised, "No junkers, no clunkers." But most of the time, clunkers were considered a cut above irredeemable junkers: a Mar. 3, 1950 ad in the Lima, Ohio News reads, "Good Old Cars: Clunkers But Not Junkers."
An early hint of "clunker" legislation can be found in a January 19, 1951 article in the Chicago Tribune, discussing a request by the National Used Car Dealer's Association for the Federal Reserve to ease credit restrictions on car sales. "Many prospective buyers of used cars are forced to turn to cars nine to 12 years old, 'clunkers' in the jargon of the trade, that will soon break down or require constant, costly repairs to keep them running," the Tribune reported.
Now, more than half a century later, we're still talking about used car owners and their clunkers. Maybe it's time to turn to some new vocabulary for old rides. What's your favorite contemporary term for a car that has fallen into disrepair?

Mark Hamill says his late "Star Wars" co-star Carrie Fisher is always "looking over me"
ABC/Paula Lobo(NEW YORK) — It's been more than a year since the world suddenly lost Carrie Fisher at the age of 60.
But her Star Wars co-star and "space twin," Mark Hamill, says she is still looking over him since her death in late 2016.
It took a few days for Hamill to notice but on the wall in his London hotel room was a piece of art featuring a caricature wearing what looked like Princess Leia's famous buns. It wasn't clear if the artwork was actually tied to Star Wars or not.
"And I thought, 'She's been looking over me the whole time,'" Hamill explained Tuesday on The View. He added, "That's the feeling, she's always with us."
Hamill regaled The View hosts with other stories involving the late actress.
In one instance, Hamill talked about Fisher's reaction when the gang all found out they would be coming back for another Star Wars trilogy.
Star Wars creator George Lucas told Fisher, Hamill and Harrison Ford that there was a new trilogy happening and if they didn't want to do it, they wouldn't recast their characters.
"Carrie went [immediately] 'I'm in!'" Hamill said. "I was like [stoic], but inside I'm like [freaking out]. I said, 'Carrie, Poker face! … You have to play hard to get.'"
He added, "She understood how you have to embrace the real estate you occupy. She came to see me on Broadway [years ago], and said what's with your B.S. bio … you don't even mention the movies by name."
"She said I'm Princess Leia, you're Luke Skywalker, get used to it and get over yourself," he added.
ABC News and Lucasfilm are both part of parent company Disney.

Perception of the name India
Hi Jennifer,
I'm wondering about your thoughts on the name India. When choosing a name for me twenty-two years ago, my parents considered both India and Hilary, however, they went with the latter because they were too nervous to give me such an exotic name.
To this day, we all love the name, however, many people have criticized it. They say it sounds, for lack of a better term, like a stripper name. My mother's name is Jane, my middle name is Jane, and I think India Jane sounds classy and unique. Not only that, I am a huge fan of Gone With the Wind, and I know there is a character named India in the novel/movie. It is easy to spell, and pronounce.
Is it cheap sounding? Would it be associated with the country?
Thanks, Hilary
Hi Hilary,
I'm not sure if you're asking about the name India for you (changing your name) or for a baby or a character in a novel. Either way, I can only give you my opinion. I do not perceive the name India as being cheap, at all. Yes, it is a place name and therefore will be associated with the country. For a fictional character, you are right: it is easy to spell and easy to pronounce and therefore gets my approval! As an aside, Margaret Mitchell did an awesome job naming her characters in GWTW.
From the point of view of an American, the name India could seem "exotic." But exotic does not equal exotic dancer! I don't see India as a stripper name, at all. But like I said, everyone has their own name perceptions. Maybe I can put a call out to the readers of the column? What do you think?

This was a good year for plums in the garden, both for the yellow plums and for the Italian prunes - enough so that it took some doing to figure out what to do with them all. Since I'm not in a hurry to set up a still and make slivovic, and you can only pawn so many plums off on friends and neighbors, I had on the order of 15 pounds of Italian prunes to dispense with.
With our change of diet to eliminate extra carbs, Patty and I have both been experimenting with reduced-carb desserts in the kitchen. And I've always been fond of central European (e.g., German) desserts, which tend to be sweetened much more lightly than American equivalents. Indeed, my earliest impression of "coffee cake" comes from the home of an elderly couple who were friends of the family, who served a delicious plum cake in their home. She was from Bavaria, so I guess she probably wouldn't have called it Zwetchgendatschi like the Austrians do (if they even really call it that; I have my suspicions that this is a made-up name designed to poke fun at the foreigners). Maybe she would have called it Pflaumenkuchen. The Internet calls it "Polish plum cake". Whatever you call it, it's tasty, and I aimed to recreate it at home. The plums are now nearly a month gone, but after multiple iterations the cake turned out well enough that I feel compelled to share it with the Internet.
Since we have friends who are dairy-intolerant, this particular recipe is tailored to be low-carb and dairy-free. It doesn't lose anything in the taste for being made with a restricted set of ingredients. The original recipe did call for a streusel, and a non-dairy streusel is pretty pointless so this recipe simply omits it.
Metric cooks, avert your eyes.
- 1¼ c almond flour
- 1¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ c Steviva blend
- 3 tbsp grapeseed oil
- ⅓ c milk
- 1 large egg
- 12 fresh plums, pitted and halved
- ⅛ tsp cloves
Lightly coat an 8"x8" pan with cooking spray. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and Steviva. Add grapeseed oil, milk and egg. Beat at medium speed 4 minutes.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Place plums on top, cut side up, pushing down slightly into batter. Sprinkle cloves over the plums.
Bake about 50 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan so the plum juices will be reabsorbed to create a moist cake. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and cut into 16 squares.
[edit: the Internet is bad at me for my badly spelled german. Spelling corrected. ;)]

The Netflix-produced series House of Cards is set in Washington, D.C. and is about the machinations of a Congressman to get more power in the government. This parody, called House of Cardinals, is about the machinations of a Catholic Cardinal to become the next pope, following the resignation of Benedict XVI. If you watch House of Cards and aren't the Church's biggest fan, it's that much funnier.

Followers make things happen, and if they're to be most useful, need to be involved in the decision-making process as well. So she told a recent St. Norbert College audience. "Followers are changing leaders," she contends.
She has created categories of followers, the most useless being the Isolators, who are totally disengaged, and Bystanders, who don't provide input or help but whose presence actually provides "tacit support" to the Leader's "status quo." On the other end, even dangerous, are the Diehards, who are totally consumed in their issue (on the positive side, think Nelson Mandela or Gandhi).
Key players are Participants and Activists, simply different degrees of people who are involved, engaged, supportive. They are front line with customers, and know what's needed, what works, what's not being done, and what's being done poorly. They are vociferous, and create the "situation" which the Leader must listen and react to. Good, effective Leaders know this ... and do listen and react. It's how they make their assembly line, department, division and company thrive.
When Leaders don't listen and react, when they ignore their people, when they treat people poorly ... their organizations do poorly, and in the past have created the need for unions as protectors. Today that's far less true.
Followers have become as important as Leaders.
-- Barbara Kellerman is a long-time lecturer in public leadership at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. Her most recent book is "The End of Leadership (Harper Collins, 2012).

The goal of Samaritans Companion is to provide resources for men and women in recovery from sex addiction, to help maintain their sobriety. Samaritans Companion work is focused on providing education, support and referral in a confidential manner.
Nothing destroys a family or relationship faster than addiction. Oklahoma ranks #2 in the nation in the number of individuals with addiction or abuse disorders- about 11.9% of the adult population. Our parish began Samaritans Companion to provide a supportive, familiar and confidential environment for healing. It is modeled after work developed by the Calix Society and several other Catholic, faith-based substance addiction ministries. We believe in the benefits gained from 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon, and Narc-Anon and works to complement these programs with deeper spiritual development. Our work is aimed at helping participants enrich their spiritual life, which statistically enhances success in the never-ending fight against their addiction.

Olga Anisimova (Russia)
Merited Professor, a UNESCO competition laureate, a member of TPPA. For more than seven years she has been conducting educative study seminars on voice and overtone singing in the new European style and participating in concerts together with Galina Parfenova (in Russia and other countries).
Galina Parfenova (Russia)
The singer Galina Parfenova offers a concert and seminar programs for the development of voice and overtone singing. In her creative activities Galina combines the European medieval songs, Byzantine and Ancient Russian church traditions with the technique of overtone singing. She demonstrates voice as a multidimensional space and in her sounding she wishes to combine the ancient temple sound resonance with a live moment of the present.
She is a member of TPPA, Merited professor, a UNESCO competition laureate.
She has recorded the following discs: A Florence Ornament, Garden Pilgrims, A Byzantine Ornament and Sfumato.
The World of Overtone
Workshop (Ольга Анисимова и Галина Парфёнова)
The method of overtone singing allows singing two sounds at a time: a key tone and a high undertone: overtone or harmonic. Overtones - harmonics are simultaneously material and incorporeal. To a higher degree than sounds, they remind us of the nature of our waves, and the Spirit that is always with us.
Working with overtones means investigating inner resonance and joining in the outer sounds. It is the laboratory of one's personal sound. It is the search for voluminous sounding and a new dimension. The ability of hearing, singing and feeling the overtones fills us with the vigour of life and provides experience of real harmony and joy. Besides, constant practice of singing overtones-harmonics improves the activity of cortex, enhances immunity and lengthens breath.
Working in a group is practical and includes the necessary contextual explanations of acoustics, mathematics, music and physiology. Introduction to the basic technique of overtone singing in the new European style is also offered.
We take the measures of precaution so that our activities with voice were physiological.

After issuing its first-ever asset-backed securitization in April, ThunderRoad Financial will look to issue a larger transaction next time, said Donal Hummer Jr., the lender's president and chief executive.
The costs of an asset-backed securitization are the same regardless of issuance size, Hummer said yesterday during a First Associates Loan Servicing webinar entitled Securitization: A Case Study.
"If you can do a bigger securitization, you will reduce your transaction greatly," he said. "We are hoping — in our next transaction — to do one larger than the previous securitization, for that reason."
The powersports lender's debut deal, ThunderRoad Motorcycle Trust 2016-1, was a $59.7 million private placement transaction under Rule 144A. The trust was backed by prime and subprime motorcycle retail installment loans, according to a Morningstar presale report.
The securitization enabled ThunderRoad to repay $60 million on its credit lines and "freed up a lot of cash for us to redeploy and prudently grow our business," Hummer said. Being able to issue a rated securitization "was a huge benefit" as well, because rated ABS can increase a company's investor pool, he said.
"Many financial companies will not look to invest in an unrated securitization," he said. "It enabled us to get better terms in some of our current warehouse lines."
The Reno, Nev.-based lender's portfolio has increased 279% to 5,717 loans as of January, up from 1,510 loans at the same time a year prior, according to a Morningstar report. ThunderRoad makes loans for more than 300 dealers in 30 states, and adds an average of one to two dealers to its network daily, according to Hummer. Approximately 20% of its overall portfolio is comprised of subprime or near-prime consumers.

New "McDonald's Of The Future" In Missouri Will Offer All-You-Can-Eat French Fries Image courtesy of Poopoorama
While we live in a fast food world that's been moving steadily toward healthier menu options, you better believe that if someone puts unlimited French fries on the table, people are going to react. That's where a McDonald's franchisee in Missouri with his big "McDonald's of the future" idea comes in. In his version of the future, we will all eat as many fries as we want.
The word has been spreading about the man's idea for his new, 6,500-square-foot restaurant opening this July, which will also feature touches like "Earth tone" decor, lots of play space for kids, and self-service kiosks. The news really grabbing everyone by the stomachs, of course, is this crazy idea about fries.
It's part of the customizable experience the franchisee is going for, he told the News-Press Gazette in St. Joseph, MO earlier this month, in a report that's just now making the rounds on the internet.
The self-serve kiosks will allow customers to personalize their burger or chicken sandwich orders, which comes with the option for all-you-can-eat fries.
"There really are hundreds of different choices to build the burger of your dreams," he told the paper. "Once you've placed your order, you can find your seat because we'll bring it out to you."
And if the burger of your dream is topped with an unending pile of fries that stretches into the heavens, well then, so be it.

The ninth East Sea (South China Sea) International Conference opened in Ho Chi Minh City on November 27, focusing on the theme "Cooperation for Regional Security and Development".
The two-day event, jointly held by the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam (DAV), the Foundation for East Sea Studies (FESS) and the Vietnam Lawyers' Association (VLA), is drawing around 200 delegates, including nearly 90 international scholars and representatives from several foreign representative offices in Vietnam.
Nearly 30 papers presented at the event are expected to assess developments in the East Sea, international relations and order seen from the legal angle, military and semi-military balance in the East Sea, initiatives to foster sustainable development and cooperation, and the content and progress of a Code of Conduct in the East Sea.
In his opening remarks, DAV Director Nguyen Vu Tung said that East Sea remains one of the difficult problems for international researchers and scholars.
After the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA)'s ruling in July last year, the East Sea situation has seen positive changes, but worries remain about the risk of disorders and conflicts in the waters in the long run, Tung stated.
According to him, the order in the sea has been eroded as international law has yet to be respected fully, while efforts to control disputes are reactive and patchy.
There also exists a paradox that in spite of a lot of cooperative initiatives, the real results are limited due to a lack of strategic trust. Therefore, the East Sea situation may grow more complicated in the coming year, he said.

HOW (NOT) TO: Annoy People on Twitter
There's no denying that Twitter's usefulness is growing — from journalists looking for leads to actors putting on productions of Romeo & Juliet, everyone seems to be getting wise to the microblogging site's potential.
Still, sometimes the urge to shout one's barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world can overshadow a little something we call "foresight," leading to the dreaded and ever-so-annoying overshare.
In its most extreme form, the overshare can lead to, well, police involvement (tweeting about your desire to blow up an airport is probably not recommended).
Still, cops and whatnot aside, tweeting with glorious abandon can, ultimately, alienate and annoy your followers. That's the topic of my most recent CNN column, which I co-author with fellow Stuff Hipsters Hate blogger, Andrea Bartz.

Children in Oak Cliff and southern Dallas will have access to books about life cycles of seeds and the environmental effects of pollution on amphibians thanks to a donation from the Oak Cliff Garden Forum.
The group, which is a federation of six garden clubs, donated copies of "The Frightened Frog" and "The Saved Seed" to eight libraries in Oak Cliff and South Dallas. The books were written for the National Garden Clubs Inc.
The Oak Cliff Garden Forum is challenging other Dallas garden clubs to provide these books to the city's other 21 libraries.

Pinch me, please! It can't in all seriousness be less than a week until Christmas Eve! Wait, what are you saying? It's true?! Then please turn back time. Eeeee! So much to do still, so little time. Let's just jump right into the food for today's What I ate Wednesday and Vegan Wednesday!
With Christmas and work on my mind some things don't get a mention yet they're [still] happening. Like my old favourite kabocha [with unpictured almond butter] for breakfast on the weekends. [Not exactly an office-friendly meal, don't you agree?] I'm down to my last few squashes with the vendors at the market letting me know the season was definitely over. Living in the moment and enjoying while I still can.
And some things got a [hopeful] mention way back and didn't end up happening – until now. Case in point: The last week marked our first true family dinner in a long time. Even though we'd meant to ever since I'd moved back home things kept getting in between. My parents – avid hobby dancers – attending an all-day dancing class on the weekend or going out for dinner with their staff narrowed down the number of days offering up for a shared meal. We finally made it happen. Keeping it simple and safe – no strange but good concoctions for my parents – I picked this recipe as my base making the adaptions necessary.
Especially cute was when my dad asked me for the name of the dish. Clearly not an unsual questions to ask among food bloggers/foodie. My dad, however, is neither. His main attitude towards food is eating to eat as in: food as fuel. Don't get me wrong: he won't eat anything and definitely enjoys a good meal. But he simply wouldn't usually care for details like recipe names or spices used. Yet he did ask me for them this time and showed an actual interest in them. Not gushing too much but this simple fact was happiness-inducing for me. No strange looks for snapping pictures for the blog, either.
With my internship being just temporary and from what it looks like going to end on December 31st we're not sure how many repeats we'll have. But I'm convinced that we'd all benefit from shared meal times. For once me because it's something I still struggle with for a variety of reasons. And all of us because we actually don't get to see each other much or have more than a short chat during the week. That might sound odd given that I've moved back in with my parents. Here's the deal: I'm living in their guest apartment with a separate entrance and a kitchen to myself so we don't actually share the same rooms. It's a bit lonely at times in the evening but my mum and agreed it'd be the best for all of us. And judging from how well – aside from the occasional little arguments that are common among parents and children, huh? – we've been getting along it was a good decision.
Ending on my aimed for sweet note I baked once more. While I like our family favourites I'm feeling inclined to give new recipes a try every year. Possible favourites to be if you so will. Playing it safe I went with a cookie I'd been eyeing for months already when it had gone viral in the [German] blog world: Traumstücke! Or the Christmas-inspired spin on them, actually.
The recipe itself looked almost too unsuspecting so I was hesitant to try them – worried my parents wouldn't even touch them. As tolerant as they are vegan baked goods need to meet high standards to pass their taste test. Long story short: they liked them. They really liked them. I did, too. Soft little pillows of melt-in-your-mouth gingerbread-flavoured perfection. Not to tooth my own horn but what a smart cookie I was choosing these ;). So if you need another simple yet amazing recipe to add to your cookie jar: that's the one you've been looking for.
Only one day left to enter my giveaway to win a copy of the new Happy Herbivore Light & Lean!
Happy Wednesday!
Happiness inducing today: Finally getting my hands on international stamps again – they seemed to be sold out everywhere I asked.
Which homemade gifts have you given to others in past years? Instead of buying all of mine I really want to try my hand at some more personal presents this year. So far I've been eyeing brownie/cookie or [savoury] risotto mixes in a jar, chocolate bars [melted, then decorated individually] or spiced nuts.
Are family dinners still a regular happening for you?

Every two years the International Olympic Committee sells umpteen millions of dollars in sponsorships, and to make sure everyone gets they're money's worth, the IOC goes to often absurd lengths to protect them – and the Olympic brand.
So, for instance, the New York Times reported that no one's too small for the Olympics.
LONDON — When London was awarded the 2012 Summer Games, Dennis Spurr got into the spirit at his butcher shop. He put a sign outside, featuring the five Olympic rings made of sausages.
Eventually, the Olympic marketing police showed up. Remove the sign, Spurr was told. His store in Weymouth, England, where sailing will be held, was not an official sponsor. A law governing the use of Olympic words and images was being violated. He faced a fine up to $30,000 for referring to the Games using kielbasa, blood pudding or any of the more adventurous organ meats.
The sign came down. Then another one went up, featuring five squares made of sausages. The Olympic brand police came back. More legal action was threatened.
"They're called Olympic rings, not Olympic squares," Spurr retorted. The Olympic police were not amused. The sausage sign came down again.
According to stuff.co.nz – Olympic monitors have deployed everything from Wi-Fi police ("LOCOG, the London Olympics organising committee, has banned 'personal/private wireless access points and 3G hubs' from Olympic venues") to chip patrols telling fish and chip stalls they can't sell chips separately, because "McDonald's is the official chip maker of the Games. "
But not everyone has buckled under. The Irish bookmaker Paddy Power successfully fought off an Olympic attempt to get this billboard removed from various locations around London:
The veteran ambusher Nike is also having a good Olympics, spearheaded by this terrific TV spot:

I felt welcomed 'cause I love my school.
- Miriam (age 3)
The people who are already there say "hello" to someone visiting.
– Liana (age 4)
At Ohr Kodesh Early Childhood Center we see each child as an individual with their own assets and places to grow. Within a classroom community, each child's unique qualities and needs are identified and nurtured. Our staff is a cohesive community of professional educators all committed to a philosophy of Jewish lifelong learning.
Relationships are valued and nurtured, with intentionality given to the formation of partnerships between and across children, staff, families and community members. We believe the learning and growth of our community is a life-long journey.
Jewish values and traditions are seamlessly integrated into an emergent curriculum inspired by the schools in Reggio-Emilia, Italy. Teaching the children about the Jewish holidays and Jewish values is one of our most important missions. As our children enter the Early Childhood Center and begin their first school experience, we show each child the beauty and meaning of Jewish traditions and values. Through experiential learning and engaging interactions within the school community, a love of Judaism is fostered.
The staff invests a great deal of thought and time while setting up the classroom environment before school begins. The result is a natural, peaceful, calm and aesthetically pleasing space that provides the children and their families a sense of comfort, a place they can call home. As the children live in the classrooms and hallways, the space becomes their own, rich with photographs, works of art and artifacts that are visible to everyone who enters our doors.
