18 days in and I have slowly gotten more familiar with the new workplace, for instance:
- Knowing how the computer worked (typing "command + C" as opposed to "control + C" if I want to copy a phrase in the document);
- Knowing the places that each unmarked door leads in the maze-like layout with the long corridors (the building used to be a factory);
- The limited lunch options and the in-house cafe that's rather expensive (but a life-saver for the rainy days);
- The concept of the "smart casual" work attire all day, everyday. "Smart casual" is a misnomer here, this phrase translates better into "come whatever you are comfortable with". I have seen co-workers dressed up to the nines in their maxi-dresses, or constantly pushing the boundaries of workplace dressing, complete with bermudas, grubby T-shirts and thong-slippers. No one bats an eyelid as to what you wear. It's liberating, this freedom.
But I'm not yet in that comfort zone, where you can know instinctively how to react to emails and situations. A new colleague (who's been around for the past 6 months) assured me that it took her a long time, around 3-4 months to get used to the working culture here, whereas it usually takes around a month or less in her other workplaces.
Oh deep breath, exhale – I'm not such a laggard after-all.

- Take a tub of ageing cream (not ultrapasteurised and without gelatine) out of the fridge and let it warm up to room temperature - if it smells a bit sour, that's totally ok.
- Tip it into a big, clean jar, so there's lots of sloshing room.
- Shake lots and lots and wait for the magic. Within a few minutes, the cream will separate into butter and buttermilk - it's amazing to watch for the first time.
- Pour out all the buttermilk you can shake out of the butter into a clean container (and don't waste it, it's awesome to drink or use in cooking).
- Run some cold water into the jar with the butter and keep shaking. Rinse and repeat until the water runs clear.
- Put the butter into a clean container that has a lid and press all the water out.
- If you want it to keep for a while, add some salt and mix well.
- Enjoy!
If you don't usually make pancakes from scratch, here's an easy recipe. (Never buy supermarket pancake mix again! I'm convinced that pancake shaker mix is exactly what is wrong with the world today).
Buttermilk pancakes
1 cup buttermilk (or normal milk, or a mix of the two)
1 cup self raising flour (wholemeal if you have it)
2 eggs
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (or paste)
Whisk all the ingredients together until combined (i.e. there are no big lumps left). You want a consistency similar to thickened cream - add extra milk or flour as required to thicken or thin. Fry in a non-stick frypan so you don't need to add butter.

As part of our "Countdown to Disney" for our upcoming trip, we're watching a Disney movie each week and doing something fun related to the movie. I'm already working on one epic post to list them all after we finish, but some of them are just so much fun, I have to share them now!
Recently, we watched Swiss Family Robinson. I love. this. movie. This is another one we watched like crazy when I was a kid. I had dreams of an awesome tree house like theirs. We even managed a pulley system with a 5-gallon bucket so we could lift stuff (and siblings) up into a tree. I might've, at one point, put Curly in the bucket, hauled it up, and left her. For just a little while. (She was fine.)
I knew Caedmon would love this movie. Adventure. Animals. Pirates. The sweetest tree house in the history of ever. Coconut bombs. Need I say more?
So, I wanted our activity to be "Coconut bombs", aka water balloons.
Our 10+ years in student ministry came in very handy. I've tied many water balloons in my day. And with these babies, it was much easier.
Seriously. If you need to tie a bunch of water balloons, invest the $3. You won't regret it.
Caedmon helped me fill the balloons. He would reload the spout while I was tying the balloon. We did about 50 for our family fight.
While I was bringing things in from outside, Honor managed to do this….
Yeah, she busted a balloon in the kitchen. When I asked her what happened, her answer was, "I no idea." Right.
When it came time for the water balloon fight, Honor just wanted to carry hers around for a bit.
We had a blast with those balloons.
And once they were spent, we moved on to water guns. Honor was serious about hers.
(Yes, she's wearing Tinkerbell pajamas. It was just that kind of day.)
I couldn't get very close to the guys.
By the end of the fun, we were all soaked. Soaked. It was a lot of fun.
Just like I'd hoped, Caedmon loved the movie. We watched it four times that week. And when I told him we could actually go in the tree house at DisneyWorld? He was super excited. Mission accomplished.

Hello All,
Memorial Weekend is here. The official kick-off of summer. Well, my kids are finally out of school for the summer. How about yours? We have had one week of 4 munchkins trying NOT to get under each other's skin. So far, mostly so good. Of course, it doesn't help that after finally getting over the cold that I got around Mother's Day, my 1 yo has re-given it to me! :( I just hate summer colds! I am coughing and have a runny nose. Yuck! Other than that, though, I am able to be up and around and get some stuff done.
Now that the kids are out of school, I hope to get more done (I know - hahaha!) I am currently working on a project of Altering Books. I can't wait to share it with you.
I am also working on a blog post about getting melted crayon out of clothes (hmmm? The downside to letting an 8 yo do laundry. Although, I guess that it was bound to happen with 4 kids)
Do you have any BBQ plans for this weekend? We did have some plans, although with this cold, now I am wondering.
Have a great Memorial Weekend.

Trent Plaisted presented a humble face Tuesday following a rigorous workout with the Utah Jazz.
That face also dripped sweat, and his shirt was soaked.
Two days before the NBA Draft, Plaisted says he's ready to accept his fate in professional basketball. It comes Thursday, three months removed from his last game in a BYU uniform at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., during the NCAA's first round.
Plaisted told reporters he acknowledges he is looked at as a raw talent, that he doesn't have an outside jump shot, but he has no regrets about casting his lot with the NBA and he's hoping for the best come Thursday. "We'll see what happens," he said.
Tuesday's Jazz workout was Plasited's final of a dozen around the league which has taken him from coast to coast. He admitted returning to Utah's altitude had an impact on him and late in the workout he lost a battle with some orange juice he'd consumed prior to the test supervised by Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan.
"This one was OK," Plaisted said. "I burned out a little too quick. That isn't characteristic of me but overall I thought it was a pretty good day."
Teams that have worked out Plaisted include Cleveland, Boston, New Orleans, Golden State, Houston, San Antonio and Seattle.
"The first one I was pretty jumpy but as they go on you kind of realize, sure you want to kill every workout, but some go better than others. You just have to see how a team evaluates it."
Plaisted is aware of criticism and doubt in his NBA chances and those who have second-guessed his decision to leave BYU after his junior year.
He is also objective about his limitations and has tried to put on his best show in workouts.
"I've never proclaimed myself to be a jump shooting Dirk Nowitzki-type of player. That's not my strength at this time. But I do have some things you can't teach and that's my athleticism and ability to run the floor.
"I'm in the middle of it and there is no turning back now."
Plaisted's gamble could pay off if he is drafted. If he goes high in the second round, he could make some money as a power forward or center.
"I hope so. I'm not going to guarantee anything. It's a process you go through and you do so believing you made the right decision. There are no second thoughts for me. BYU is a great place and the coaches did a great job and I love my teammates, but his is the right decision for me and the right time."
Asked if he received enough opportunities in college to develop a face-the-basket jump shot game, Plaisted said he accepted his role. "We won a lot of basketball games and won championships at BYU, and I did all I could."
The best advice Plaisted has received in this pre-draft process is that he should be himself and not try and do things he hasn't done in his career. "I'm a guy that hustles. I run the floor and I used my athleticism. You have to use your strengths. I have to be the kind of player I am. I haven't magically become a 3-point shooter."
Plaisted said he was honored to workout with Sloan and appreciated the attention. "He's a class guy, a hall-of-fame coach and a legend."
Sloan did not comment on Plasited's Tuesday's workout, a two-man affair with Arkansas 7-footer Steven Hill, but Walt Perrin, director of player personnel for Utah did.
"I think Trent struggled a little bit today physically in conditioning. I think he may have been a little sick. He needs to work on his total game. He needs to work on stepping out and hitting some jump shots, continue to work on his post-up game and moving his feet defensively."
Asked about the importance of having a jump shot as a big man, Perrin said the perimeter game is important. "You have to learn how to step out and knock down a 12 or 15 jump shot because in our league, at our level, it would be hard for him to be on the post all the time."
Plaisted said he's improved his shooting, but that's something teams will have to comment on and confirm. Since leaving BYU, however, Plaisted is the first to admit, "I haven't suddenly become a jump shooting fiend."
Mock drafts have migrated on Plaisted. Some have projected he'll be a first-round pick to a solid second rounder and some have him not being drafted at all.
"I give absolutely no credence to mock drafts," Plaisted said. There is one that projected Plaisted to go to Utah in the second round. "But if they took me in the second round I'd be pleased."
Perrin discounted mock drafts that have Utah taking Plaisted in the second round. "I don't know where he'll go. To tell you the truth, we have been working on the first round. We'll likely study the second round today and tomorrow."
A second-round pick might not make a dent on the Jazz, the way the team is constructed today. "I think a first round pick would be hard to make our roster," added Perrin, who told a TV station this week he believed Plaisted would be better served if he'd spent one more year in college.
Why? Perrin said he'd have more time being "the guy" getting "more touches" and developing his game.

A lot of the time, money is a huge burden on our minds. It seems that some people possess a knack to keep their's so as, and some often struggle. Irrespective of the fact that there are people who have less trouble managing money and/or get more income bitcoin ledger, it can be still easy to make the most efficient of your respective finances if you are furnished with the proper knowledge. In this post, you will discover advice for increasing your financial future.
Pack one suitcase within another. Virtually every traveler comes home with more stuff than they left with. Whether souvenirs for friends and family or even a shopping trip to make the most of an excellent exchange rate, it can be difficult to get everything home. Consider packing your belongings in a small suitcase, then put that suitcase in a larger one. Using this method you merely purchase one bag on the trip out, and also have the comfort of bringing two back whenever you return.
Picking the right schools could affect your own personal finance. One of the most cost effective ways to obtain a prestigious degree or certification is actually by attending cheaper schools for a part of your education, and transition to some higher priced or better-ranked school to the remainder. Your credits will merge from your previous school and you will probably still gain the graduation advantages from the latest school.
Coupons might have been taboo in years past, but considering the variety of people trying to spend less with budgets being tight, why could you pay over you will need to? Scan your neighborhood newspapers and magazines for coupons on restaurants, groceries and entertainment that you will be interested in.
To boost your own finance habits, repay the debt as soon as it really is possible. The quantity of interest on loans is quite high, as well as the longer you are taking to cover them off, the greater you pay in interest. Additionally, it is wise to pay greater than the minimum that is certainly due on the loan or credit card.
If you are part of any groups for example the police, military or a car assistance club, find out if a store provides discounts. Many shops offer discounts of 10% or even more, but not all advertise that fact. Prepare to demonstrate your card as evidence of membership or give your number should you be online shopping.
Giving children an allowance is the best way to introduce those to personal finance and make them learn the best way to manage money. If they are given age-appropriate chores and purchased a task well done, they are not only motivated to continue doing good work, they may be researching responsibility and the need for a dollar.
Should you be away from school, go on and get the various education loans consolidated into one account. It is possible to blend multiple loans into one fixed monthly interest and you will probably avoid having to make sure you pay multiple lenders and accounts monthly. Shop around to find the best interest rate before choosing a lender.
Use cash to pay for for your purchases next week. Once you buy goods with cash as opposed to plastic credits cards, it can be much easier to see just how much money you happen to be parting with. Also, if you don't have a charge card on the person you can avoid impulse buys.
If you are preparing your financial allowance, categorize your expenses by their priorities. By way of example, necessities includes housing, food, utilities, and childcare needs. The lesser priority would head to entertainment, vacation, and non-urgent home improvements. This will provide you with a clearer picture to see what bills you need to pay first and exactly how much remains for that other considerations.
Enlist the assistance of a pal to cut the fat from the spending. Let an honest family member or friend take a look at budget and spending habits. Sometimes the unbiased eye of another person will bring to light a region in which you can but back or are overspending.
As you can tell, this article is just full of valuable information that will assist you with any financial issue you could have. You do not have to get a specialist to have this done. So do not dwell in the financial gloom any further. Get going and take action regarding it.

Importance of a Warranty on a Used Car
Cars today are more reliable than ever before. However, this
still doesn't mean they will last forever and that things won't break down. One
important thing that can protect you is having a warranty on your car.
Most car buyers think warranties only come with brand new cars, but that isn't true. In fact, many used cars still have at least a portion of the original factor warranty. Plus, buyers always have the option of purchasing an extended warranty, whether they buy their car new or used.
Benefits of a Used Car Warranty
There are numerous advantages to having an extended warranty. For one, buyers can choose the exact type of coverage they want. For example, if the used vehicle has a long powertrain factory warranty, but the bumper-to-bumper warranty is near expiration, you can just add more coverage for that, or vice versa.
Another benefit to having a warranty is the fact that it can cover expensive repairs. Vehicles are more complex than ever with numerous mechanical, electrical, and computerized systems. If any of these systems fail, it can be costly to diagnose the problem and get it repaired. Make sure you choose warranty coverage that includes the technology features you want to be covered.
When you purchase a warranty through a dealership, you get the added convenience of having all the paperwork and payment information processed in the same location. In addition, OEM-backed warranties allow you to get any warranty repairs done at any dealership in the country that sells that brand of car.
By getting an additional warranty on your pre-owned car, you can gain an extra boost of confidence knowing you are protected in case something does go wrong with your car.
If you have any questions about getting an extended warranty on your car purchase, give us a call today at 1st Stop Auto Sales.

When Leanna Sun bought her Miracle Mile duplex in 1999, it seemed like a miracle. She was divorced and between jobs.
Sun was able to buy the 1923 property, however, with savings, financial help from her mother and brother, an impeccable credit rating and employment pending. And, because the property -- with a 700-square-foot one-bedroom unit to share with her daughter and a similar unit for her mother -- was dark and dumpy and had been on the market for more than a year, she was able to purchase it for just $289,000, slightly lower than the area's going rate at the time.
"It was luck," Sun said. "Nobody wanted it."
After five years of sharing a bedroom with her daughter, Camille, now 10, Sun was ready for a room of her own.
"I needed my own space," she said, recalling the crowded room strewn with Camille's toys. "I was at the point of losing my mind."

Farmers in the Mid Ulster area are being urged to be vigilant after the attempted theft of cattle in the Clogher area,
The incident took place at approximately 9pm on Sunday, May 14.
Chief Inspector Roy Robinson said that many farms, by their nature, are in isolated areas and therefore it is important that people who live in rural locations work together to make the countryside safer for everyone.
He added: "Reporting promptly to the police any activity that raises your suspicions is a good way to get things started and will help to deter criminals and reduce crime in your area.
"It could be an unusual vehicle seen parked or travelling on a road in the area, or someone calling and asking for directions. Remember that these could well be criminals checking out what's on offer, what vehicles they will need to transport the livestock or machinery they intend to steal, and the level of farm security.
"Criminals are always on the lookout for valuable items that they can easily re-sell. Quads, trailers and other items of farm machinery should therefore be kept locked away in garages or outbuildings, when not in use. And, for added security, people should consider locking gates, using British Standard closed shackled padlocks, at yards and on laneways to prevent unauthorised vehicle access," he added.
Preventing crime and being switched on to crime prevention will help to protect your property. Don't make life easy for the criminals. Putting frequently used machines away and locking up sheds and outbuildings may seem like a chore you can do without, but it won't be as inconvenient as having an important and valuable piece of equipment or cattle stolen."
Anyone who would like further crime prevention advice on this or any other subject is asked to contact their local crime prevention officer on the non-emergency number 101.
Meanwhile, police are investigating a report of a theft of sheep from a mountain area adjacent to Moneyneany Lane in Draperstown.
Approximately 19 Black Face horned hoggets were reported missing on May 1st, however, they may have been taken anytime within the previous week.
If you can help police with their enquiries please call the 101 number quoting reference number 528 of 1.5.17. Alternatively information about crime can be passed via the independent Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.

I had already chatted to Fiona, the lovely owner of Coombe Mill on Twitter and knew that my family would love it there. I wasn't wrong.
We arrived late on the Saturday afternoon, and after a quick look around our fabulous Scandinavian lodge, we set off to find the animals. We were greeted by some ducks who decided to accompany us on our walk, much to the delight of the children. We then came across these fine fellows who are obviously used to being fed by visitors. We felt very guilty at being empty handed and promised to return the following day, bearing gifts.
The next morning we were all up bright and early to go on the first feed run of the week. I don't know who was more excited, me or the boys! Farmer Ted arrived on the tractor and the boys couldn't believe it when he asked who wanted to drive!!. Needless to say, Zac and Ethan couldn't wait to have a go. We were very lucky that there were only a few children there and so every child got to have a go at driving each morning.
Here's some of my favourite photos from the feed runs
I took over 250 photos throughout the week and it is so hard to choose just a few, especially as the animals were so photogenic.
I enjoyed the feed runs just as much as the children, even with a wilful 2 year old to look after....
|The pout
There was one other thing that the children loved to do every morning. They were determined that they would be able to get the sword out of the stone!
|The Sword in the Stone
I've decided that it's impossible to write about our fabulous stay at Combe Mill in one post, so watch out for the next instalment. I've developed an innate love for this beautiful place and Cornwall as a whole and can't wait to go back.
I am linking up with Country Kids on the Coombe Mill blog

Men's Golf Primed For Another Dramatic Comeback
Feb. 28, 2001
The Washington State men's golf team likes to save their best for last. Three times during the fall season, the Cougars made dramatic runs up the leader board in the third and final round of tournaments. They will need a similar charge through the second stanza of the 2000-2001 season to put themselves in the NCAA West Regional.
The Cougars first comeback came in September at the Northwest Classic in Corvallis, Ore. After carding a 292 in the first round and 289 in the second, WSU caught fire. Sophomore Dustin White torched the Trysting Tree Golf Course to the tune of a school record-tying 65 in the third round. Teammate Jeremy Taylor added a 70, while Jon Reehoorn and Roger Flynn chipped in a pair of 71s. Washington State ended the final day in Corvallis with a 277, one stroke off the school record, and marched from 14th after the first two rounds to a final standing of ninth.
'Obviously, Dustin had a great day,' head coach Walt Williams said. 'But I really liked the resolve of our entire team. Everybody came to play in the third round.'
The third round magic didn't stop in Corvallis. Two weeks later, the Cougars traveled cross-state to Port Orchard to take on a field packed with national powerhouses at the Husky Invitational. WSU found itself in a hole early, finishing day one of the competition in 10th place, dead last.
This time, it was a pair of freshmen who rallied the Cougars late in the tournament. Isaac Woods, who was making his varsity debut, fired a 73 and a 71 over the final two rounds and finished 23rd. Freshman cohort Ryan Camp was solid throughout the event, firing a 75-75-76---226 and tying for 25th. More importantly, WSU finished fifth overall, edging out Pac-10 rivals Stanford and Oregon State.
'That tournament really shows what those two are capable of,' junior captain Jon Reehoorn said. 'If we are going to make a run this spring, it's going to have to be a team effort. We need everybody to go out and shoot their best every round. Especially the two freshman (Camp and Woods).'
The fall season concluded in November at the 49'er Collegiate Classic in Long Beach, Calif. The Cougars wrapped things up with, what else, another third round surge. After dropping to 12th after two rounds, it was Reehoorn's turn to rally the troops for a gut-check on the final day of the fall season.
'We knew we weren't playing very well, so we knew what we had to do,' Reehoorn said. 'Coach didn't say much to us on the way home, so we knew we had to step it up.'And that's exactly what Reehoorn did. Putting only 21 times in 18 holes, the Burlington, Wash., native matched his career-best with a 67 and helped WSU charge back up the leader board to finish the tournament in eighth.
The Cougars begin the spring season on Mar. 2 at the Inland Collegiate Challenge in Clarkston. They are sitting at 16th place in Division Eight, four spots shy of the qualifying mark for the NCAA West Regional. So do the Cougars have one more comeback in store?
'I think they will respond,' Williams said. 'Jon and Jeremy are the leaders of this team and I think they can take us to places this team has never been before.'
The quietly confident team leader is eager to accept Williams' challenge.
'Its definitely a possibility,' Reehoorn said. 'If we play like we can for all three rounds, there will be no need to make these comebacks.'

The old, blue Course Reserves binders that have been used to look-up reserves for courses have gone the way of the Dodo bird. They have been replaced by a dedicated, Course Reserves Look-up workstation. That's all this workstation does; allow you to look-up course reserves. In the case of hardcopy reserves, you can then write the Reserve Number on the slips provided so that the Circulation desk person can pull them from the Reserves shelfs. They are similar in function to the dedicated, Catalog workstations except this one only permits Course Reserves look-up.
If you have any comments or suggestions about this workstation, please contact Michael Dick (email@example.com).

New Lease on LIFE!
Seriously - if you haven't watched "Forks Over Knives," check it out. It is worth a look. There is some serious science in there.

I keep meaning to comment but forgetting so I'll write this before I forget. I just wanted to suggest that you check out something called "soap nuts" in your quest for natural. I have chemical sensitivies severe enough to be potentially life threatening (thankfully controlled enough that I hope that's not true) and soap nuts have been one of my best friends. The whole story of them is neat as they are environmentally and socioeconomically friendly for residents of an impoverished nation, (I'll let you look it up lest I appear to be selling them) but they are chemical and odor free. I use them as soap (and in the 2 years I have done this have not had dry skin like the other 34 years of my life) and laundry detergent (you can run loads on the quick cycle and save money and time since they don't need a 2nd rinse and your laundry has no odor but clean). I also have used them as a general cleaner, shampoo, and dandruff treatment. On vacation my sister borrowed some for my niece's diapers and wound up with clean diapers, no lingering odor, diapers for the first time in months; they did what stripping and sunshine had not. I am glad daily that I chose to get the little sample that made me a believer. There are lots of places to get them and you do need to read a bit to ensure you get quality products. I use Naturoli and have had no problems. They appaer to be a bit expensive but you use so little that a total of $45 has been 18 months and will extend probably another 12 months and I gave a good amount away.ReplyDelete
Anyway, I can go on forever because I'm in awe of the soap nut.
SOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! I hope things start looking up. I know it is hard but you deserve to be happy.Sairose would want it that way too.ReplyDelete
Great! I am planning to become a vegan someday. Keep it up!ReplyDelete

I have come across your blog through facebook and other families with children and cancer. I have been vegan for 2 years now. Every month gets a little easier...and it helps to have simple great tasting recipes. I recently found a website/blog that has plenty of tasty things to try - www.ohsheglows.com - I promise you will love them. Good luck with your veganism and thank you for sharing your daughters journey with all of us. You are such an inspirational family. NEGU!ReplyDelete

Squeezing your eyes shut
Oblivious that the world inside
Is sinister than the darkness you see outside
I will watch you toss and turn
You know there is nowhere you can go
Squirm and scream if you must
But I am never letting you go.
I shall revel in the knowledge
That you will always do my bidding
Tell me your deep, dark secrets
That you never want to talk about.
Give me the key to your thoughts
Allow me to set you free
I shall be your hero
And take away all the pain
are frightening for the very same reason
everyone believes they should not be,
they aren't real,
because day in and day out
you must live with the knowledge
that your own mind is working against you,
whispering dark things in the middle of the night,
disobeying your desperate cries to stop,
your own mind is a murderous adversary,
an enemy under your own skin,
and nothing is quite so terrifying."
Beau Taplin.
