Americans & Israelis: Cultural Differences
Business Etiquette/כללי התנהגות עסקי
.לחצו פה להסבר על תרגום לעברית
A big part of doing business well is making sure that you are polite when you do. That is obvious. But it's more than about being polite, it is about having the best interaction you can have, right?
You want the person to call you back, to choose you, your company or your project.
There is an expression: you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. It's an important one. Because whether you are a writer, hi tech innovator, filmmaker or consultant, you need every interaction to go well and to plant seeds for future meetings.
Don't think of business etiquette – or for the Hebrew curious: כללי התנהגות עסקי
Think simply of being as effective in every transaction as you can possibly be. You have an end goal. How does it feel when someone wants something from you? Are you more likely to grant them a favor or read their script or look at their website if they are difficult to connect with, inconsiderate or too aggressive? No.
All favors are personal, at the end of the day, because we are people. And if you are setting up a meeting, on a certain level, you are asking a favor.
Here are a few simple and basic tips:
When Setting Up a Meeting
Know that we are all very busy. Offer two or three choices of times and dates. Make the meeting place convenient for the other person.
During the Meeting
Buy your listener coffee. Thank them for their time. Make time for small talk. Keep your business talk focused. Don't go over time. Wrap up your meeting with clear goals and expectations.
Following Up
Wait 2 to 3 hours after the meeting and send an email follow up, thanking the person for the meeting and saying you look forward to the next step.
If you don't hear back in 4 or 5 business days, email again and just ask how they are and if there's anything you can do to help move the project forward.
If you STILL don't hear back:
In the US and EU: don't email again for another 3 to 4 weeks. Assume you are being ignored but not totally shut down.
In Israel: email again in another week. And the one after that. And then let it lie for awhile.
You don't want to be a nuisance. But neither do you want an opportunity to slip through your fingers.
The Two Faces of Your Facebook Feed
לחצו פה להסבר על תרגום לעברית.
I have written before about curating your Facebook feed, meaning designing your feed such that it has the maximum entertainment and positive influence on your personal and professional life. You can read that article here.
Today, let's talk about managing how you appear to others looking at your page. What kind of feed are they getting from YOU?
Avoid the Unfriend Zone!
The fact is, that most of us are on Facebook. You might have a personal page and a business page. Or, in some cases, the two might blend, somewhat. The kind of Facebooker I am speaking about today, is the page that is a blend. That's what I do too.
Say you are a consultant or you work at a company that is fluid, meaning you network and keep yourself mobile and available for other opportunities within your field. You don't need a Facebook page to push a BUSINESS per se – you ARE the business. Here's four tips and explanations of them:
Tips for Targeting Your Facebook Feed
- Create categories for "close friends" and "acquaintances". Create categories that are as specific as you want. (go to your page, click on friends, next to each friend a category will appear. click on the category, scroll to the bottom and click on "new list".)
- Every time you post, choose the category or categories that can see the post. Every. Time.
- NEVER post rants about sensitive, polarizing subjects.
- Refrain from too many "selfies", by all means. Even if they are business related. It doesn't reflect well unless you are a teenager. That doesn't mean NONE, just watch the ratio there.
Categories and Posting
Make sure you categorize your FB friends minimally into "close friends" or "acquaintances". If you take the time – and I know it's really a bitch after the fact – you can create even more categories so that your business peers are in a category of their own. So that, in other words, you don't post pictures of your weekend family picnic to your business peers, and that you don't post (necessarily) what a great business conference you went to to your close friends.
This means you need to slow down when you post and check the box for which group of people you are posting and subsequently will see what you are posting.
Be Careful What You Post
It goes without saying that posting pictures of you drunk at a bar is not a great idea, or that posting rants about politics, religious or other sensitive topics is a very good idea either. Stuff on the internet lives for a VERY long time.
Clean Up Your Facebook Categories and Think Through Your Usage and Why
If you are a business unto yourself – and more and more of us are these days – make sure your Facebook feed is one that you have curated carefully.
Personally, I have three pages – my personal page, which by default has a lot of business peers on it because I didn't take the time, way back, to set up another page – my business page, Stories Without Borders, which is for writers, filmmakers, start up, high tech and other creative types in business and a page for the Tel Aviv Writer's Salon, which as you can imagine is quite focused.
I am in the process of migrating business and professional contacts that are on my personal page toward my other pages. I am newly getting into the habit of not accepting every friend request on my personal page – which is how I wound up with over 2,000 FB "friends" the vast majority of which I do not know at all.
Because I was not careful to curate my pages in the past, it is taking some time to clean that up so that only select people see what I want the to see. Sure, like you, I post hilarious pictures of my cats doing stupid things. I'm human. And I post a lot of articles from The Atlantic about social issues and politics. That interests me. But sometimes I want to post something about where I live – Israel – that will a) only interest Israelis and b) not subject me to a storm of political comments about Israel. I just want to ask a question or point something out that is specific to this place.
If you have a lot of Facebook friends, I know this can seem daunting but take an afternoon, or a couple of them, sporadically, and look at your list of friends. Unfriend those you truly never interact with. Categorize the others. Is this truly a FRIEND, or is this a nice person you met at a business Meet Up? Ask yourself, do you want this person to see the hilarious picture of your cats? Do you want the to see your selfie while you were on a roller coaster or at the beach? Maybe you do. But make that a conscious choice.
You may not want to maintain more than one page in which case you then must be extra diligent about creating and maintaining categories. And before you hit "post" make SURE you are posting to the right group. Look, if you post a picture of yourself at a family barbecue to a group of friends that are business friends, it's not the end of the world. You ARE a human and more and more our personal and business lives do blend. But online you are curating an image and a reputation. Too many selflies, even in a business context, too many "life is great! be positive!" pictures with horses on a beach – and you will be taken far less seriously. Trust me on this. Create a category of friends who also love motivational pictures of waterfalls with nice quotes. That way you do not annoy those who are not into these things and are not written off completely.
It's the same as anything else in life. You don't invite a particular friend to go to the opera with you. No, that's for your other friend, Dani. You don't talk about UFOs with most people you work with – but you might with Shira, because you have lunch a lot and have become close. Same concept here.
The Difference Between What We Say and What We Mean
For Israelis in business, Americans can be very confusing. We seem to indicate one thing with our words and another with our followup.
This confusion is tripled when the communication is written. Because now the body language and intonations are missing altogether, which is very problematic when you are already dealing with cultural differences.
For example, if an American says "I know you are busy", it really translates to – why haven't you gotten back to me?
Would you have guessed that? Maybe or maybe not.
Look, Americans value being very polite. We often couch what we are saying in order to get the best result. Rather than actually SAYING "you are busy, you never get back to me!" we just politely acknowledge that yes you are busy. But we mean something else. We want to hear back from you.
Here is a list that is meant to be humorous but that is actually very accurate, of things Americans might say in email correspondence – and what they really mean.
Closing the Gap in Israeli/American Business Meetings
If you've traveled at all, even a little, you know that people are different in different parts of the world. As an American living abroad, I have never felt more keenly aware of my Americanness.
Here's the thing about Americans: we really, really, really like and enjoy being friendly and polite and casual. We like it. It's important to us. We like to exchange pleasantries and make small talk. We take our time to get to the point. We think as we talk, we are sizing you up even during the small talk. We like to think on our feet as the situation evolves.
Here's the thing about Israelis: we really, really, really like to get to the point and quickly. We don't have a lot of time or patience to waste time. We can be friendly and make small talk after the business is done. To an Israeli, small talk about family, etc., means an actual connection is already there. Because some kind of a transaction happened first. Now we can be friends. But business first.
There is a saying about Israelis – they will run you over with their car, then back up and take you to the hospital. There is another saying about Israelis – once an Israeli is your friend? You have a friend for LIFE.
Americans, just like our sprawling landscape, are a bit more nomadic socially. Connections made can and do fade over time. Friends can sometimes come and go.
Both approaches can be explained by history, geography, social norms, etc. but the bottom line is that neither approach is right or wrong – but they can be misconstrued.
In Israel, I often hear Israelis say that they think Americans are "fake" or "hypocritical". And I often hear Americans say that Israelis are "rude" or "pushy".
Americans value casual friendliness and Israelis value directness. Even a moment to think about the vast geography and easier, less threatened life in America shows one how Americans come by their casual manner. A quick look at the geography, history and political issues in Israel shows one how getting things done quickly and efficiently FIRST serves Israelis better. You don't have to be Margaret Meade to see how each culture is different.
But when you put an American and an Israeli together – especially in business – sparks can fly. And yet of course there are strong business connections between the US and Israel and both parties admire one another greatly.
If you are an Israeli and you are in a business situation with an American, you have to remember to slow down and let the small talk happen. We Americans really like those pleasantries. It's what we do. We will also be very friendly and warm about your idea – even if we aren't going to act on it. Because we really value being friendly and warm no matter what.
If you are an American in a business meeting with an Israeli, you may find yourself feeling a bit like the picture below – whoa – blown away. Because Israelis really value efficiency and directness. Which can make an American feel a bit uncomfortable.
So how do you read each other in these situations? Both Americans and Israelis would do well to take one step toward one another and know ahead of time the different values. Israelis see friendly small talk as a genuine, if not intimate expression of real friendship. Americans see this as standard behavior but not an indication of any kind of commitment.
As an American-Israeli, I can see how American friendliness might be construed as insincerity – but it's not. It's something we like to do and we are being authentic. And I can see how Israeli directness can be seen as pushy and rude – but it's not, it's efficient and focused. Cultural relativism, friends, it's important.
So – if you are in an Israeli in a business meeting with an American, trying very hard to read the American through the friendliness – how do you know whether they are in fact serious about you and your business?
You know they are serious when the friendliness falls away a little bit and becomes more direct, and when they actually take an action step right in the moment. When they set up another meeting, make a phone call or otherwise take and share information. The handshake and back clapping that comes with many of these meetings is no indication of seriousness but rather of business brotherliness.
Beyond that – how do you really know whether an excited, American, friendly, yes yes yes! is going to actually result in business? You don't. Not until you on the receiving end of a solid action step in very short order – the next couple of days.
Don't mistake, resent or misconstrue American friendliness. Take it at face value, enjoy it, be friendly back! But do not confuse this with serious business interest until or unless you have an actual move that backs that up.
When you leave the meeting with the American business person, go out with a big smile and the confidence you came in with and also let them know that you have several other meetings you are taking – because you do – and that you are continuing on with those meetings as scheduled. If this particular business person is seriously interested, he or she will jump to get to your first. It's called applying a little bit of pressure – a standard business move. But the thing is, you ARE being perfectly sincere. You do have other meetings lined up.
So let's recap:
Be your proud Israeli self, the person you are taking a meeting with knows you are Israeli, just slow down a bit and allow for more small talk than you normally would in Israel. Relax. This is one of many meetings. Believe me, what you have to offer is very valuable and Americans are aware of and interested in your Israeli efficiency and candor.
Reading social signals like smiling, small talk and a casual dress and manner is easy: take it only at face value. Americans like to be friendly. It's the way we are. In a way, and this sounds counter-intuitive – it's not personal. (And ditto for you American business people; the Israeli directness – it's not personal.)
None of this meeting meant anything at all unless you actually receive a phone call, email or some kind of follow up with concrete action steps outlined. Don't be offended, it's just business. A small bite on the fishing line doesn't mean anything until you reel the fish in. Each meeting is a chance for you to sharpen your American social skills. It's like falling in love – you'll know it when it's the real thing.

Chasing Power
Author: Sarah Beth Durst
Release: October 14th 2014
Genre: Paranormal, Urban Fantasy, YA
Lies, secrets, and magic — three things that define Kayla's life.
Sixteen-year-old Kayla plans to spend her summer hanging out on the beach in Santa Barbara and stealing whatever she wants, whenever she wants it. Born with the ability to move things with her mind — things like credit cards, diamond rings, and buttons on cash registers — she has become a master shoplifter. She steals to build up a safety net, enough money for her and her mom to be able to flee if her dad finds them again. Well, that, and the thrill of using her secret talents.
But her summer plans change when she's caught stealing by a boy named Daniel — a boy who needs her help and is willing to blackmail her to get it. Daniel has a talent of his own. He can teleport, appearing anywhere in the world in an instant, but he lies as easily as he travels. Together, they embark on a quest to find and steal an ancient incantation, written on three indestructible stones and hidden millennia ago, all to rescue Daniel's kidnapped mother. But Kayla has no idea that this rescue mission will lead back to her own family — and to betrayals that she may not be able to forgive... or survive.
The first of Sarah Beth Durst's books I have actually, truly enjoyed for once. I am impressed, yet at the same time still a little disappointed.
I recognized some elements from her Drink, Slay, Love, specifically, some of the absolute ridiculousness from it. Especially the end was very anticlimactic and underwhelming and very reminiscent of Dora the Explorer's "Swiper, no Swiping!"
The characters were mostly alright, although sometimes too crass as well. By which I mean, sometimes they'd be in some kind of immediate crisis that needs to be resolved as soon as possible and one of the characters will just suddenly start talking about her love life and her parent problems and whatnot and it was like Uhmmmm wait a sec... priorities.
The relationships were done satisfactorily, I wasn't too captivated by any of them and none of them were truly original or anything, but they weren't bad either. I even came close to sort of shipping the main romantic relationship, but the others left me more or less stone cold, sorry to say.
As for the plot, that was one thing that I thought was really well done, I liked the overall idea of it, the execution and the plot twists were nice and surprising as well. Probably the best done feature of the whole novel, I generally like Durst's ideas though, it's just that she's never good at bringing them across nice enough, however, she finally managed with this one, for which I'm glad.
In the end, I think it tied up neat, but as I said the ending was just really cheesy and inadequate, and to be quite honest I'm a little glad this is only a stand-alone, but overall, I'm pleased. I had fun with this, I even stayed up later than usual to keep on reading because there were some intense scenes in there, and I hope this might be a sign that there's still hope for me and Durst out there. We'll see. I have a fourth book of hers lying here, maybe fourth time will be the actual charm, where I'll end up loving it.

Hi Fellow Fathers –
I hope you are able to join us at the Monthly Meeting this Friday, March 6th at 8:00 pm at the Center (208 West 13th Street). Please feel free to suggest a topic. Also, below is information about a book written by a gay father that you might find interesting…
New Book Provides Fresh Insights on How Longtime Male Couples Stay Happy and Thriving
Because healthy models of same-sex love and devotion have long been absent from our popular culture, it has been especially heartwarming to see icons like Elton John and Neil Patrick Harris marrying their longtime partners recently. Such high-profile examples are truly welcome and needed. But how do their relationships actually work day to day? How do they navigate issues of communication, affection, monogamy, and intimacy? To explore these relationship dynamics, author and jazz historian Tim Clausen conducted over one hundred in-depth interviews with North American male couples who have been together between ten and sixty-five years. His new book, Love Together: Longtime Male Couples on Healthy Intimacy and Communication, features many of these men, and includes the first same-sex military couple in America to legally marry, a Catholic theologian, a pioneering Texas pair featured in a 1996 Life Magazine article, a practicing Buddhist couple who recently celebrated their 60th anniversary, two Paris trained chefs turned international vintners, a Canadian couple who produce a line of gay erotic comics, a Christian pop-singing duo who became parents through surrogacy, a Hollywood film industry couple who met the day WWII ended, and more.
With over seven hundred years of collective love-relationship experience among them, these couples share openly how they navigate issues of monogamy, intimacy, affection, communication, money, spirituality, marriage and parenting. Chock-full of hard-won wisdom, helpful relationship practices, and sage advice, Love Together will appeal to established gay couples, to singles who are interested in finding a lasting love relationship, and to readers of all ages who are interested in discovering how gay love relationships are similar to straight ones, and in what ways they may differ.
The book is already garnering enthusiastic praise: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stuart-gaffney/love-together_b_6683962.html. In a recent review, Out in Print's Jerry Wheeler wrote, "What you need to do is simply dig in and experience these forty-four lives and how they have come together and stayed together for amazing amounts of time. The similarities will become apparent, as will the differences. Make no mistake, this is an important book if for no other reason than the lack of others like it on the market. And it is even more important as it's largely in the words of the men who live these lives."
Timely in its' subject matter, Love Together will prove to be both enlightening and educational for college LGBT studies programs, clergy members, therapists, and for all who appreciate the diversity of loving human relationships. For more information, please visit www.lovetogetherbook.com.
Tim Clausen is a jazz pianist and jazz historian. A father, he founded and facilitated the Milwaukee Gay Fathers group for ten years, from 1995-2004. Currently single and dating, Tim lives with his cat Pepper, who thinks that she is his girlfriend and that his interest in men is only a phase.
Hope to see you Friday.

Sex gets my attention and not in the way most people think. I love talking about sex, reading about it and learning about. I love deconstructing relationships and seeing how sex fits into it all. Thus my blog is riddled with articles like "What Marriage is Really Like and an endless list of real life love stories and candid Confessions. So when one of the top stories of www.news.com.au yesterday (25 June, 2016) was an article "Waiting for marriage before having sex wasn't what I expected" I was on it like a dog with a bone. I was left however feeling quite bewildered and mildly disheartened. I genuinely thought to myself, so where do we go from here?
Have a quick read for yourself and it might make more sense. (Waiting for marriage before having sex wasn't what I expected, By Elissa Anne)
A few of my thoughts went something like this.....
Was it the Churches fault that she felt guilty for her sexual experiences?
Will sexual freedom and complete liberty in this area lead to "no shame" and greater long term relationships?
So how do you stand for morality and Godly principles in a way that is NEVER going to offend someone?
Should the message of abstinence (saving sex until marriage) cease to be preached so people don't feel guilty for their own personal choices?
Her book may very well cover a lot of those questions and I'll be the first to admit you can't grasp someones heart by just one article, but I genuinely pondered upon these questions and figured maybe a few other people did too. So here's my response. Before anyone thinks this is some kind of tear down. It's absolutely not. I am certain the Author of the article Elissa Anne is a brilliant human being, with a big heart and a caring soul. I agree that far too often the Church (as a whole) can be so quick to judge rather than understand. We can become so dogmatic over controversial issues that we forget the bottom line of, God loves all people regardless of their sexual choices, behaviour or dispositions. We can major on minors and forget that we ALL actually miss the mark. There is no "sin" bigger than another, but the fall out of sin is a very real thing.
I too agree there needs to be,
more compassion and less CONDEMNATION.
More grace and less guilt-tripping.
But grace does not call sin righteousness. Grace does not sweep things under the carpet. ALOT of people mistake mercy, forgiveness, empathy for grace. Grace is not mercy. Grace is not letting someone off the hook. The true biblical meaning of grace is unmerited and undeserved favour. Grace is the power to overcome sin. It's the grace of God (the POWER) that helps me overcome anything that is outside of Gods way. Grace doesn't just mean you can do something and then not feel bad about it. Grace is actually the power to change, and be convicted in a GOOD way that there is so much better for us.
Can I throw a few spanners in the works for just a moment? I've pulled out a few pieces of the original in italics.
"I feel strongly that it is time for the church to start preaching grace above abstinence. When statistics tell us that more than 90 per cent of people, Christian and non-Christian alike, have sex before marriage in Australia, we are kidding ourselves if we think that vamping up the abstinence message is going to stop people from having premarital sex." (Excerpt)
WHY is the message either or? can't it be both?
The bible tells us in John 1:14 "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
I believe we need to preach the truth in grace.
GRACE WITHOUT TRUTH LEADS TO BEHAVIOUR WITHout RESTRAINT AND SOCIETIES THAT SAY ANYTHING GOES. TRUTH WITHOUT GRACE LEADS TO JUDGMENTAL CHRISTIANS, MEANINGLESS RULES AND EMPTY RELIGION.
Both can be incredible damaging. The gospel should never be altered so that is palatable to mans taste. It's not meant to be easy to swallow, it is meant to change people from the inside out when they partake of the gift freely given to them. If we call ourselves Christians we need to make Jesus Lord of our lives not just our Saviour. We need to give Him access to all areas of our lives, including our sexuality.
The truth is the bible clearly values sexuality (and has a lot to say on the subject). We need to talk less about abstinence and more about sexuality as a whole. It is not about saving sex until marriage, it is about honouring your body as a temple of the Holy spirit (sexually, physically, emotionally) and not just pre-marriage but in every day of your life.
SAVING SEX FOR MARRIAGE IS NOT THE GOAL, HONOURING GOD IN ALL WAYS IS WHAT MATTERS the MOST.
The fact is abstinence should not take centre stage. Jesus should and everything should flow from an authentic revelation of His love and His lordship in our lives. As Christians our main priority should be preaching the good news of Jesus (not behaviour modification). We should love people with open arms and when (and if) they choose to open their lives to Him lovingly and sometimes brutally honestly help them along the journey.
"Being the perfectionist that I was in my teenage years, I latched onto this rule and avoided sex like the plague. I suppressed thoughts about sex and avoided all sexual urges". (Excerpt)
when you only focus on the "what", and don't EXPLAIN the "why" you turn what should be an inward CONVICTION into an external pressure.
"I started to challenge the idea that masturbation was a sin and pushed the boundaries of my own rules. I invited men into my life who kissed me and touched me in ways I'd never experienced before. One particular man probably saw me as his greatest challenge. My virginity would be his prize — if he could conquer me. He was an alpha male; strong, and in his own way, very patient. I threw away my boundaries around oral sex but I never orgasmed in his presence or allowed penetration." (Excerpt)
According to the Author of Hooked: Sexual activity is any intimate contact between two individuals that involves arousal, stimulation, and/or a response by at least one of the two partners. In other words, sexual activity is any intentionally sexual intimate behavior between two partners, or even one person if self-stimulation is used. The authors conclude that a definition of sexual activity must not only include sexual intercourse, but also anal sex, oral sex, mutual masturbation, showering together, fondling of breasts, even kissing if it produces arousal. Although she didn't go all the way with these men, biological process were well into play and the same hormones that are released during intercourse would be pulsing through her brain. Maybe sometimes people feel like it's not that special when there's barely anything left to explore and appreciate? Maybe we set ourselves up for disappointment when we hold unrealistic expectations and take our cues from Hollywood, mainstream media and our highly saturated porn culture. Listen not even Hollywood is as hot and heavy as it appears. If it was maybe their relationships would last more than a few years?
"At age 30, I finally met a man I was content to settle down with. He too was an intercourse virgin and we mutually decided to wait for sex until we were at least living in the same country — he's American, I'm Australian. We pushed all remaining boundaries: sleeping in the same bed when we visited each other internationally; engaged in oral sex, Skype sex and mutual masturbation; saw each other completely naked and even showered together. But we did in fact wait for intercourse until we were legally married in February 2015. It had been blown completely out of proportion in my mind because of the rule I was taught as a child." "At age 32 I finally gave my husband the last piece of my virginity. But intercourse wasn't what I had expected it to be. There were no fireworks or explosions. It all felt quite natural and not as supernatural or spiritual as I'd been lead to believe it would be. But it didn't feel that way for me initially and I was disappointed. I'd waited 32 years of my life without ever having intercourse only to find out that I was still exactly the same person after I'd had sex as I was before I'd had sex. Sex didn't change me. It didn't fix me. It didn't ruin me.
I agree we need to be more honest, open and candid about the very real temptations, struggles, and challenges of abstaining from sex outside of marriage and staying faithful within it. We need to tell young people, "the struggle is real"! You are not a bad person for having certain thoughts or feelings. But God wouldn't call you to something and not empower you to do it. When you miss the mark it does not change His opinion of you, but don't buy into the lie that sex is meaningless.
Sex does change a relationship. It's the most intimate act two people can engage in. It bonds you emotionally, spiritually and psychologically too. Don't believe me, look at the research. I could name a thousand credible scientific sources that explain the subject much better than I do.
Let me end on this. I married as virgin. I had never engaged in any kind of "sexual act" with any man apart from my husband.
Was sex on my wedding night what I expected? No way.
I literally had no idea what I was doing! But a blank canvas is not that hard to paint on. The pieces fit together and it's not that hard to find your rhythm.
Was it special? totally.
Was it the start of a great journey of discovery? Absolutely.
Would I make the same decision a hundred times over?
For sure.
Did I expect sex to complete me? No.
Did it change me, definitely.
That day I gave one man every part of me. My heart, my soul and yes my body. I have been married for well over 12 months (8 years to be exact) with two beautiful children and the heat has definitely not left the kitchen. No matter your own personal story, there is grace for a better way. Your past does not determine your future.
Jesus loved and accepted all, then He asked those who loved Him to change how they lived and follow Him. They joyfully did so because they found life in Him. May we follow this order and not strive for the latter first.

NUTS: Widow Gets Pregnant After Husband Dies?
You're thinking something like, "And the family drags her down to the stone pit." Right? A widow getting pregnant right after the death of her husband – the father of her two little kids – is probably a scandal. At least for the family.
At least in the case of Kristen Tripson you'd be wrong. Not only is the family celebrating with her, her mom and mother-in-law were with her when she got pregnant. No, this isn't an internet porn story.
Kristen's husband Sam passed away last September after a long battle with cancer. Her whole family was filled with grief, especially her two children. Here they are in happier times.
It turns out that before his death she and Sam had IVF treatments and she had two of the embryos left. Kristen made the decision to move ahead with an implant and give the embryos a chance at life and give the family the opportunity to celebrate Sam with a special gift.
Kristen and Sam wanted to have more kids after his cancer treatment so to make sure they had every opportunity to realize that dream they had IVF treatments around his chemo. Their daughter Alice Ann was their first success.
They tried again but lost the baby and they had two embryos left.
Shortly after they lost the baby Sam relapsed and in three weeks he was gone.
Kristen and Sam had talked a lot about the embryos and she was never in doubt. Six months after Sam's death she moved ahead and with her mom and Sam's mom in the room the last two embryos were implanted.
Kristen found out a few weeks later that one of the embryos was a strong baby. Kristen said, "I found out a few weeks later that I was carrying one strong baby. And that's ok. The way I see it, I get one and Sam gets one. Of course, it's bittersweet. And yes, a bit unconventional. But it was our decision and what I consider to be one of life's most beautiful blessings."
Their new baby is due in October. Their son is hoping for another sister and they'll find out in the delivery room. That's how Sam would have wanted it.

On the eve of launching the highly anticipated fourth season of the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones, series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have been talking about the end. The series is a mad success for the network, and everyone even remotely associated with it, but the series, and its source material, A Song of Ice and Fire series by author George R.R. Martin, are building towards an end. When will that end be? In a new interview, Benioff and Weiss reveal that they have a semi-specific idea.
In a Q&A with Vanity Fair, which put Game of Thrones on their April issue's cover, the producers say that they expect GOT to run "seven or eight" seasons. "It doesn't just keep on going because it can," Weiss said. "I think the desire to milk more out of it is what would eventually kill it, if we gave in to that."
Seven or eight seasons would mean that the show could wrap in about three or four years, but there's a more pressing deadline to keep in mind. Season four of the show will adapt the second half of book three, and maybe start into book four, but to date only five Fire and Ice books have been published, and Martin says he has at least two more in mind. "Hopeful that [he] can not let [the show] catch up," the author said to Vanity Fair.
In any event, the showrunners have already pondered the possibility that they may catch up to Martin plotting-wise and have discussed the endgame with Martin personally.
"Last year we went out to Santa Fe for a week to sit down with him and just talk through where things are going, because we don't know if we are going to catch up and where exactly that would be," said Benioff. "If you know the ending, then you can lay the groundwork for it. And so we want to know how everything ends. We want to be able to set things up. So we just sat down with him and literally went through every character."
Wish you could have been a fly on the wall at the meeting, huh? Wouldn't want to be Martin now considering the size of his books and the pressure of not just ending your fantasy book series in a satisfying way, but laying the ground work for the ending of a popular TV series too. No pressure. On the bright side, there is president that popular cable shows have taken a year off, so Martin may have some breathing room, but he's still got to be feeling that pressure…
In case you haven't seen it yet, here's the cover image from Vanity Fair featuring Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Peter Dinklage.
Game of Thrones premieres April 6 on HBO.

Including flossing, one of the most popularly ignored daily dental routine uses is mouthwash. Many patients who have mouthwash only use it for a quick refreshing breath if they've forgotten to brush their teeth. While it's a good temporary substitute, it's not a permanent one for brushing your teeth and should be done alongside your oral hygiene routine. Learn more from your dental care in Connecticut about mouthwashes below.
Knowing about different brands of mouthwashes and what they can do for you is important in the picking process. There are two different kinds of mouthwashes—cosmetic and therapeutic. Cosmetic mouthwashes are mostly used to temporarily get rid of bad mouth, ridding of any loose food particles in your teeth, and lessen a number of bacteria that's in your mouth. Therapeutic mouthwashes have certain ingredients that work to fight against bacteria so you have lesser chances of getting a cavity or other plaque-related issues.
Something to be wary about when it comes to certain mouthwashes is the ingredients. While most of the ingredients are working to fight against bacteria, bad breath, cavities and the like, there is one ingredient in particular that can harm your oral health and that's alcohol. Many mouthwashes have a large amount of alcohol that can cause dry mouth and other irritations. If you're using a mouthwash that contains alcohol and have been feeling discomfort after each use, highly consider switching to another mouthwash that may be recommended by your dentist.
But remember this—do not replace your brushing regimen for mouthwash! This will not protect your teeth the proper way that brushing your teeth does. It doesn't last all day and doesn't have the same effect that toothpaste has. Mouthwash works with your oral hygiene regimens like brushing and flossing, only making improvements, but it doesn't work as a substitute.
If you're interested in seeing results from the right mouthwash for you, contact your dental care in Connecticut for suggestions by calling this number (203) 252-2000 or booking an appointment here today!

Yep, we did see your 'advert' on the blog - a great idea and good move on your part. The machine looks a bit like a bread maker so be careful after a couple of glasses of the red stuff if you decide to make a loaf! Shirley & Robbie

Maybe you can also use your centrifuge to spin down your faecals for parasite testing so you can keep your eye on what is around in your herd and trwat only as and when necessary. Maybe that centrifuge will be a great investment...not for bread-making though!

Conseravtion of a Victorian town house
This is a beautiful Victorian semi-detached property located in the heart of Rathmines.
The house is a protected structure and this project combines conservation work with a new large extension to the rear.
In the existing house the stairs landings created a split level which housed bedrooms and bathrooms. Our project opens up the ground level to enable an open plan modern kitchen with dining-room towards the large south facing garden.
The main entrance is visually linked to the rear garden via an arched way.
The roof of the extension is split, to avoid blocking the view of the upper rooms.
It is covered with green sedum, which acts as an insulation blanket, but also as a very nice roof garden.

This has got to be one of the best finales I've ever read, and easily the best book I've read so far this year. Seriously, I've read or heard about several finales to series that were either huge disappointments, or at the very least, didn't meet readers' expectations. For example, even though I loved the series, I thought that Mockingjay was very slow-paced and somewhat boring in comparison to the first two books in the series. I cannot say that about Boundless, though.This book had everything I would ever need in a book. There was friendship, relationships, love, trust, betrayal, action, heartwarming moments, and heartbreaking moments. There was even a moment where I thought I might have to throw my kindle across the room, and even that turned out to be not what I expected at all. In short, this book was an excellent read, an excellent end to the series, and easily my favorite of the series! Of course, that it inevitably leaves me with one problem: Now I want more! Why do final books always make me want more, when it's supposed to be the end? lol I loved this book so much that I will probably reread it, and soon! And this book makes me wish I had more stars in my rating scale. 5 (very enthusiastic) stars!Full review here

A couple of months ago, my church (First Methodist – Tuscaloosa) had our annual Service Sunday, where our missions are presented to the church. I honestly had NO clue how much our church does as far as missions. I like the way they structure our service…it's based off of Acts 1:8 (But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.). Maybe every church mission program is structured this way, but it covers our local missions, regional missions, international missions, and forgotten areas of ministry.

Well ok, maybe the title is a bit of an exaggeration! Maybe it's more a tour of the clouds in between here and Spain...
In November I will be escaping our very soggy weather for 5 days to go visit a friend in Madrid whose on an Erasmus year. I'm also hoping to make it up to Bilbao to visit another friend. Though a recent recheck of Google maps to see where it is in relation to Madrid has shown me the two are not as close together as I had thought. Living in Ireland where everything is 2-3 hours on the motorway has perhaps instilled in me an expectation that everywhere else in the world is so easily commutable too (well with exceptions of places like America and Russia).
I have never been to Madrid or Bilbao before, only Majorca on a couple of family holidays a long long time ago and as part of a school trip we stayed in Salou but spent the bulk of our time commuting to Barcelona.
If any of you have any reccomendations of places that are a must see or things you have to do in Madrid, please do let me know in a comment! I'd appreciate some suggestions :)
So far I'm planning on going to the flea market, El Rasto. Lou seems game for us to spend the day checking it out, so we're going to do hot chocolate and churros beforehand then hit the market. I know I shouldn't have either of these things, but y'know, when in Rome. I also want to see Goya's work and Picasso's Guernica. Other than that, I am open to suggestions!
I love seeing pretty buildings, so I spent alot of time in Barcelona admiring Gaudí's work. It's also why I love Vienna so much. I think old cities are so beautiful. Any particularly beautiful buildings in Madrid I should see?
Also does anyone know of any vintage shops that are worth checking out or vegetarian restaurants that do good veggie friendly Spanish food?
Before I go, can anyone reccomend a good cheap way to get to Bilbao that doesn't take all day?

(originally written at 1 mth)
Dear Makayla,
Today you are one month old. I am amazed by how fast time flies. It seems like just yesterday you were born. I remember holding you in my arms for the first time, you were a stranger yet instantly I was in love. Over the last month that love has grown imensely. It is a different kind of love, the kind of love only a parent has for their child. The kind of love only other parents would understand. It is a love so powerful it hurts. When you were first born the love I felt for you made me scared - I had never been scared to love someone before you. I was scared because I feared for you and all the unknowns. You were so little, tiny and new, 100% reliant on us. As I watched you grow and become stronger I relaxed. Now I couldn't be happier or more relaxed. God is in control, I do not need to fear.
In the past month you have changed and grown so much. You started out at 5lbs 7oz, dropped down to 5lbs the day you were born and now you weigh just over 7lbs. Many say you are still so tiny but to me you are huge! You no longer fit premie clothes, but, *gasp* fill out newborn clothing nicely and I'm guessing in the next 2 weeks or so many of them will be too small.
Yesterday I am almost certain you smiled for the first time. It was not just a 'gas' smile, I saw that sparkle in your eye. There is even a chance you smiled 3 times last week for Aunty Natasha and Shelley, but as I did not see I cannot be certain.
You now hold your head up well, you are very alert and love to look around. You love to be naked and just move and kick on a blanket. You love the bath and are very content to float in warm water. You don't like to be swaddled or held ALL the time anymore. Although truthfully you like to be held at least 90% of the time you are awake.
Oh and have I mentioned you have a good set of lungs and you definitely know how to use them?!?!
Your dad and I think you are the cutest most adorable, baby girl in the whole world! Of course every parent thinks that, but really you are! Every expression and sound you make is the cutest thing ever.
Makayla, you have made us a family.
I love you so much, forever and always
xoxo, your mommy

Our SchoolDie Schlachtschule teaches the arts of foot combat appropriate for a medieval European knight, whether they were used for sport or in earnest.
Why study ancient arts of combat? Why resurrect these lost arts in the 21st century? Each student must answer those questions for himself, and yet there is a real fascination in most of us about the Middle Ages and the knights who lived in that violent and bloody time. Martial arts in general give us a focus and discipline in our lives, and medieval martial arts in particular give us a connection to a culture that many of us find fascinating and important.

SK Stat Attack – the best stats from a madcap Champions League night
Borussia Dortmund and Legia Warsaw created history yesterday, Leicester continued to toy with their European opposition, Ronaldo didn't score but he did everything else and Tottenham Hotspur got knocked out.
We bring you the best stats from a madcap night of action in the Champions league.
12 – Borussia Dortmund 8- 4 Legia Warsaw holds the record for most goals in a CL game. The previous one was held by Monaco when they thrashed 8-3 Deportivo La Coruna in November 2003
48 – Number of attempts Borussia Dortmund had in the 2 games v Legia Warsaw. What insanity.
14 – Number of goals Borussia Dortmund had in the 2 games vs Legia Warsaw. Yes, they really did score that many.
4 - Legia are the second team to lose a European Cup/CL game despite scoring four goals after Club Brugge vs Basel (4-6) in 1973
5 - Borussia Dortmund v Legia Warsaw is the first game in CL history with five goals in the first 25 minutes. So many firsts!
10 - Borussia Dortmund have now scored 5+ goals in 10 separate games under Thomas Tuchel. Bloody 'ell.
1 – Marco Reus has scored his first ever hat-trick in the Champions League. And that on his return from a lengthy injury layoff. Now, THAT is how you make a return – are you watching Goldberg?
2 - Shinji Kagawa has scored two goals in a single Champions League game for the first time in his career. As Opta would have put it – Resurrection.
3 – Ousmane Dembele is the youngest player to assist 3+ goals in a Champions League game since 2003/04 (19 yo & 6 months). He also scored his first goal in European competition yesterday!
4 – Borussia Dortmund are the 4th different team to score 5+ goals in the 1st half of a CL match (after Bayern Munich 3 times, Monaco & Shakhtar). What's with the Bundesliga teams and goal fests, eh?
5 - Thomas Tuchel is the only german coach besides Jürgen Klinsmann to stay undefeated in his first 5 CL games. Ambition.
21 - Real Madrid have reached the knockout stages of the CL in each of their 21 campaigns. They own this competition, don't they!
14 – Cristiano Ronaldo has now been directly involved in 14 goals (8 goals, 6 assists) in his last 10 competitive appearances for Real Madrid
0 - Cristiano Ronaldo failed to have a shot on target in a CL group game for the first time for Real Madrid. He didn't shoot?
3 – For the first time since 2010/11 Cristiano Ronaldo assisted a goal in 3 consecutive CL-matches. Unselfish player, that lad.
32 - Cristiano Ronaldo has made 32 assists in the CL, at least five more than any other player (Giggs 27 - since 2003/04)
30 – Real Madrid are now unbeaten in their last 30 games in all competitions (Wins 25 Draws 5). and to think they aren't even playing that well. The club record, for those who are keeping tabs, is 34 under Leo Beenhakker in 1988-89
84 – No. of goals Real Madrid have scored in that period. (they play FIFA/PES in real life don't they?) 20 of them have come in the last five games!
7 - Real Madrid have already conceded more goals in the #UCL this season (7 ) than over the whole of last season (6 in 13 games)
6 - Karim Benzema has scored his 48th CL goal and is now joint 6th in the competition's all-time scorers list with Ibrahimovic & Shevchenko. That is elite company
24 - Real Madrid have scored in each of their last 24 games across all competitions dating back to April. Zizou likes his goals, doesn't he?!
3 - Raphaël Varane has scored three goals in a single season for the first time for Real Madrid (all competitions). Yeah, when he's also scoring like this, you know Madrid are scoring for fun.
20 - Real Madrid have never failed to score against Portuguese opposition, in all competitions (39 goals)
4 - Only Lionel Messi (7) has scored more goals than Mahrez (4) in the Champions League this season
5 – Claudio Ranieri has now qualified for the CL knock-out stages with 5 clubs (Chelsea, Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan, Leicester). What a CV, eh?
4 - Leicester have won more games in the Champions League this season (4) than they have in the Premier League (3). That's how you prioritise!
4 – With Tottenham failing to qualify, this is the 4th time a London team has fallen at the first CL Group Stage (Arsenal 1998/99, 1999/2000 and Chelsea 2012/13).
9 - No goalkeeper has made more saves in a Champions League match this season than Lloris (9 vs Monaco). Still Lost. Oh you Spurs
0 - Vincent Janssen has yet to hit a shot on target for Spurs in the Champions League (236 minutes played). Ok, that sorta explains it.
0 - Sevilla are also one of two teams yet to concede a goal in the CL this season, alongside Leicester. Woah Sampaoli, way to make an impression in Europe!
233 - Steven N'Zonzi has completed more passes in the opposition half than any other player in the CL this season. What a beast of a player!
2000 - Moise Kean has become the 1st player born in 2000 to feature in a CL game. God dammit I feel old now. By the bye, he is the 6th youngest player in CL history, 16 yrs & 268 days
11 - Alexandre Lacazette has now scored 11 goals in his last 12 games across all competitions for Lyon. Hello, Premier League?
14 - Mathieu Valbuena has won none of his last 14 CL games (D1, L13), his last win coming v Inter Milan with Marseille on 22/02/12.
4 – Monaco have topped their CL group for the fourth time in a row (03/04, 04/05 and 14/15)
6 - Dinamo Zagreb have failed to score in their last 6 CL - the record in the competition belongs to Deportivo La Coruna (8)

Also on Wednesday Jennah started crawling... Now thats the cutest thing I have ever seen.. :-) Now that she is mobile she is getting bruises more.. But I know thats the part of growing up and I know she's going to get tons of bruises in her life... And as soon as I can get a video I will video tape her crawling....
I will try to stay on top of Jennah's progress...

Tears Of Anger.....
So I thought the past 2 weeks were hard but the other day while talking to Adam I finally asked him why he was so unhappy with me and what she did for him that I didnt do. Well as he was telling me I was getting madder and madder.. I was getting mad at the whole situation and I was just getting so angry with him and what he did..
So now instead of having tears of pain, I have tears of anger.. I have never thought in my life that I would be as angry with him as I am right now.. It kills me so much that things with him and i will never be the same.. I will never get those goodbye hugs and kisses again, I will never have my inital by my stocking at Christmas, I will never feel his hearbeat next to mine, we will never have those midnight talks... My list can go on and on... But the most important one is we will never be able to raise our daughter as one.. These past few days has been really tough.. Now all i can think about is that stuff and now I sit here and think "why in the world am I being punished?" "what did i do to deserve this pain?" People keep telling me that I didnt do anything and this is not my fault.. But I just cant help but think that.. If its not my fault then WHY? Why is this happening? So If anyone has any answers please feel free to share..

I feel like a fool but love has taken over everything that has happened.. I have talked to him and I told him that I am willing to put what happened behind us and for us to move on.. Yes trust is going to be an issue right now but i think we can work on who we are and work on us... I know I shouldnt want to think this way.. I should just say "F" him and move on.. But Adam has my heart.. He has it unconditionally.. People make mistakes and for him this was his mistake. I am willing to forgive him.. But sadly he doesnt feel the same way.............
I knew this weekend was going to be hard but I never knew it was going to be this hard... He came over on Friday to pick up Jennah and just seeing him was a dagger in the heart.. He ended up staying for an hour so we can talk.. We shared some tears and also shared some laughs.. He keeps telling me that this whole thing is hard for him too... He wishes we could just say "Ok lets work it out".. but reality we cant.. I know he's hurt about what he has done.. He shows it and I feel it.. I feel every bit of pain he feels.. It was good to even being able to laugh with him. Even though the pain was still there.. We promise eachother that we will be great friends and stay that way for Jennah's sake. He keeps telling me that he doesnt want me out of his life.. I just cant be his wife.. He was unhappy then and he doesnt want to walk back in when he isnt sure if he will ever be happy with me again. I respect him for that.. But I just wish he would atleast give us a try.. I am willing to work on things and take him back after what has happened and he's not..
So my heart is shattered in millions of pieces and i need someone to come put them back togther for me

Please Mind Your Business
I am really annoyed that people can not mind their own business. I had to delete my latest blog b/c people want to talk..

All I have to say that Its my life and please stay out of it... and these people know who I am talking about....
