I do believe EVERY and I mean EVERY member of this house has something that has to be done today. We started out bright and early this morning where the 13 y.o old had a band concert/tryout. Then we needed to do the everyday stuff to keep this house running. Not to mention mommy should have had presents for the wedding reception and birthday party tonight all done…did I?...heck no!
Took Livie for some girl time to get our toes done (daddy stayed home while Hailey took a nap…woo hoo) and then rushed back home so daddy could take Tyler (the 13 y.o) to basketball tryouts. Oh yea, forgot to mention I did groceries this morning and cleaned house.
Siiigghhhh….the day's not even half over yet. We have a friend of the family coming over to watch the brood so we can go to said wedding reception and birthday party tonight. I think I'm exhausted just from typing all this out.
Wish me luck!

Hello, I red your blog and the article on discipline. How would you do when a 9 years old girl gets mad and upset every time you don't what she want when she want ans the way she want (like don't give her the answer for math homeworks and ask her to make the equation like she does every day) and the only result you got is her to ignore you (head down, stop talking). The more I talk (never raise my voice), the worst it gets !!! and she's so stubborn, she can stay like this for hours, even with her parents !!! how i'm suppose to deal with that when I'm just an aupair. THanks

Hi! The first thing that I wanted to mention is that you are right! You are the au pair. The best defense is a good offense, meaning that it would be in everyone's best interest for you and her parents to agree on a plan together. That being said, it would be much appreciated by the parents if you came up with some ideas. As far as the homework goes, it can be exhausting for a kids to spend all day at school and then come home to more school. Does she have a break? 30 min for a snack and to relax? Does she have a routine? When she starts to get angry about you not giving the answer, try to flip the script. Tell her that you are there to help her if she wants the help, but that is all you can give her. So while I am not recommending ignoring her, you are tuning off to her emotions. Another suggestion would be to make it a game. Tell her that you are playing school and you are the teacher (even better…she is the teacher! If you can get her to give the answers still). Have you tried sticker charts? Or encouragement charts? When she ignore you, it is okay to give her some space (she is putting herself in a time out), but I think it would be great if after she has some time to cool off, run in to her room and tickle her or come in and sit quietly with her. Bake those cookies you had been planning. While some people would say it is giving in to her behavior, as the au pair, part of the job is to keep it fun. After all, she is ignoring you to get your attention. It is true, lectures don't work. Check out How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk. It is an easy read and super helpful! If you want to try some of the suggestions, let me know how it goes. If you want to give me more info, we can come up with a plan.

I've been keeping a secret.
I know, it looks like I keep lots of them.
But it's not true.
I am just really afraid of jinxing things by just taking them for granted before they actually happen.
So here it is:
Next September I am now officially gonna be a Fine Art Student in Barcelona.
I am so happy I could chicken-dance to eternity :)

Admittedly, the marketing strategy of offering a rewards program is nothing new. But as with the success or failure of many tactics, it's all in the execution. You will likely get some benefit from a generic 'refer a friend' or 'spend more, save more' type of program, but to really maximize your rewards program ROI, think about offering something that really resonates with your target market and reinforces your brand's role in their life.
Take, for example, Sweetgreen restaurants. They will be our case study today not only because everyone in the Webs office is loving that they just opened a franchise across the street, but mostly because Sweetgreen started out as a small business, possibly much like your own.
It all began when three students at Georgetown University in Washington, DC got fed up (no pun intended) with the local restaurants available to them. While there are many great establishments in the area, the healthful options that fit a student budget were few and far between in 2007. The friends opened the first location on Georgetown's M Street with the mission to make healthy, sustainable foods accessible for everyone. They have since opened about 20 locations in major East Coast cities, and attribute their success — in large part — to their focus on community values.
Sweetgreen has a number of programs involving farms and schools that support their sustainability mission. You can read more about those here. Today we're going to focus on their rewards program, Sweetgreen Rewards. This programs centers around their iPhone and Android apps and offers a number of perks for the holder:
– Give $3, Get $3 (Rewards for sharing the app with friends)
– Spend $99, get $9 (A trackable credit stash that rewards more purchases)
– Birthday Salad (Free salad…on your birthday)
– 3-Tiered VIP Status System (Invite-only events, charitable giving program)
If the first 3 rewards don't really resonate with the Sweetgreen audience, this last program is certain to. The goodies for each status level (Green, Gold, Black) are different as they're based on your spending habits, but all three come with the perk of 1% of all your purchases going to support programs that encourage healthy eating in schools. This dovetails nicely with Sweetgreen's mission, and with the values of their target customers.
In addition to helping break down people's objections to parting with their money by adding an aspect of charity, a program like this makes people feel like they are part of a community. If there's one thing we know, it's that people love bandwagons. By joining a community of people who are all giving 1% of their $8 salad purchase to charity, people can't help but estimate how much that whole group has donated as a whole.
The lesson here is simple. This kind of values-based marketing is so much more powerful than a generic rewards program that only has benefits for the individual. Of course, you need to offer those as well, but consider how you can offer a benefit that really fosters community among your target audience and helps them feel a part of something special. I know that for me personally, I find it much easier to justify going out for lunch when the return on my purchase benefits not only me, but a larger cause that I care about. It's a win-win, and that's what a rewards program should always try to be.
Do you offer a rewards program to your customers? Do you participate in another business's program that you find particularly effective? Let us know in the comments!

If you've been living in a cave, perhaps you were not aware there was a young rapist at Stanford University who sexually assaulted an incapacitated young woman behind a dumpster. He was stopped by two young men on bicycles, arrested and convicted of three felonies, and then the judge decided his bright future shouldn't be marred by too much time behind bars.
The young woman - extraordinarily bright and articulate and brave. The rapist, who may have also taken photos of her breasts during the assault to send to his friends, using a third party app so they could be deleted, because who doesn't? seems to be an entitled sociopath who also swims real fast. The douchebag father of the rapist - also an entitled prick.
I've been pleased with most of the discussion on the subject, which puts the blame squarely on the rapist, with some on the father, and a generous helping for Judge Aaron Persky, who didn't feel the lad's bright future should be tarnished by excessive punishment. (You can support the recall campaign here.)
But one troubling note for me is the level of hate some have for this young man. Even if he IS a worthless excuse for a human being, IMO, he does not deserve "street justice" in the form of being repeatedly raped in jail. NOBODY deserves to be raped. And as angry as I am with his actions and attitudes, I am also puzzled by them as well. I want to understand why some men and women grow up to think they can take whatever they want.
Hillary Clinton Becoming Presumptive Nominee of the Democratic Party
Last Tuesday, California voted, and to the disappointment and in some cases, denial, by many vocal supporters of Bernie Sanders, Hillary Rodham Clinton won the state and became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party. No, it's not because all votes for Bernie weren't counted. Yes, it's an historic moment even if women from minor parties have run for President in the past, or been candidates in major parties, like Shirley Chisholm and Elizabeth Dole.
I "get" that some people dislike and/or fear Hillary Clinton. Some have genuine issues with her policies and actions. Others have fallen for the lies and propaganda spread by certain political factions for years, on the grounds that if something is repeated enough times, it must be true. And still others (including some women) are afraid of a strong powerful woman, because, well, she's a WOMAN. For many of us, watching criticism of HRC be based on her wardrobe, her hair, her voice - while no male candidate has been subject to the same criticisms, it is obvious that misogyny is still alive and well.
I don't know what the answer is, except to hope that some people will come to see that their fear and hate isn't helping anyone, not even themselves.
Pulse, Orlando
A young Muslim man armed with a semi-automatic rifle entered an LGBT nightclub and began shooting people on June 11. As of right now, 50 are dead, more than 50 additional people wounded. Why? Hate, fear. Terrorism is looking less and less likely, homophobia more and more likely. Closeted homosexual feelings and self-loathing, perhaps?
It feels to me almost like there is an epidemic of hate, of angry, shouting people who don't want to hear or acknowledge the humanity of others. Like it's influenza, or an alien entity, it's as if people don't feel safe unless they hate anyone or anything that is different or new or whatever, this miasmic THING is traveling around the United States, maybe the whole world, all red-faced and pointy-fingered at those people, over there, who are ruining it for the rest of us.
Surely we can do better. Surely we can look for our shared humanity, for ways to help one another, for ways to understand one another. Call me a sentimental sap, but I still believe.
Do you believe?
Do you have any thoughts on the raging anger?
What can we do to spread love instead of hate?

Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney came to town Wednesday to stump for fellow Republican Bob Beauprez during a lunchtime fundraiser.
Romney, who is eyeing a presidential run in 2008, sounded many of the same themes Beauprez pounds on the campaign trail.
Voters expect Republicans to be stewards of fiscal discipline, improve roads and run "the machinery of government."
"What they don't always expect is that Republican governors … understand and can make a difference for things like our schools and improving our quality of life through better health care," Romney said.
About 130 people paid $200 each to nosh on hors d'oeuvres and listen to and schmooze with Romney, Beauprez and Gov. Bill Owens. Romney took no questions from reporters.
Beauprez has been trailing Democratic candidate Bill Ritter in the polls in the race to succeed Owens.
"This is a big player, big dog. And more than just a pretty face – like another one I guess was in town yesterday – he can actually point to a record of accomplishment," said Beauprez, referring to Tuesday's visit of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., who has said he also is considering running for president.
Mary Pat Link, a Republican businesswoman, said she sees similarities between Beauprez and Romney.
"I was impressed with the common-sense process he brought to government. Hearing him now, he's very sharp, very poised, and that's why I like Bob too," she said.
Beauprez and Owens also campaigned in Colorado Springs on Wednesday, where Beauprez won the endorsement of the Colorado Springs Chamber political action committee.
Romney also campaigned with Republican U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, who is facing Democratic state Rep. Angie Paccione in the 4th Congressional District.

As some of the last interview weekends of the year are coming up, here are 14 reasons why you should join me in becoming a FOCUS missionary this year!
1. There is a desperate need. It's a safe bet that most of your fellow students have not heard the Gospel. They do not understand who Jesus is and what Christianity is all about. Their best hope is other young people like you, their peers, to witness to the faith and share Jesus with them.
2. It is our calling as Christians to share the Gospel. "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations" – Matthew 28:19. "Through Baptism, each of us becomes missionary disciples, called to bring the Gospel to the world. Each of the baptized, whatever their role in the Church or the educational level of their faith, is an active agent of evangelization." – Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium
3. You will grow in virtue and holiness. You will be surrounded by support with your teammates, student leaders, the regional support teams, the chaplain, etc. Your daily holy hour and mass will challenge you to continue to strive closer to Jesus. It's a great way to train yourself to become a saint!
4. You receive unparalleled formation for life. Leadership skills, people skills, managing small groups, support from teammates, and more. New Staff Training in the summer helps to train us with the very best resources that the Church has to offer for new evangelists. Oh and by the way, going to the March for Life doesn't require you to "ask off," you can do it as a part of your job!
5. You meet and work with awesome people. Your "co-workers" aren't just there because they need to pay the bills. Your teammates are young zealous world changers willing to take risks to help make differences in others lives. In addition, you get to meet so many interesting students from all walks of life, and get introduced to other exciting people in the Church making a difference through overlapping ministries (like all the awesome priests, religious, and campus ministers!).
6. You make a lasting eternal impact on the lives of students. Even one soul that comes to know Jesus is priceless. These students will have changed lives in college, but it doesn't stop there! They'll also be influencing others for the rest of their lives! You just get to knock over the first few dominoes (by God's grace!) and sit back as God does His thing. 🙂
7. It's a blast! Come on, does it really sound like a boring job? Hanging out at college for a few extra years… No classes… No homework… No exams… All mission. Oh, and have you heard of these things called FOCUS Conferences?
8. Be at the forefront of the New Evangelization, help to reclaim the culture for Jesus! John Paul II approved.
9. Help to save people's souls. I guess this should be #1, but this list isn't in order anyways haha.
10. Acquire skills for lifelong mission. We will continue to live as missionary disciples even after being FOCUS missionaries in our homes, parishes, workplaces, etc. By being a missionary for a few years, we will acquire the skills that we need to make the biggest difference afterwards.
11. 2 years fly by and doesn't set you back in your career. Really. Fundraising will actually help you out with networking a little, too. At my summer internship before senior year, the CEO (of a very large company) was a high school gym teacher for the first 8 years. Nuff said.
12. You will learn to appreciate your gifts and resources more. Fundraising is awesome! It's taught me to appreciate other people's generosity so much more. It's also been a great way to teach me to tithe myself. This experience has taught me to be more generous to others and fiscally responsible in general.
13. You could meet your future spouse. There have been a pretty good amount of couples that met through FOCUS. One couple went to the Vatican and had their marriage blessed by Pope Francis this fall, actually.
14. It will help you to discern your vocation. The first year dating fast (if it applies) isn't a big deal at all.. and I'm a first year. Clear your mind from this over-sexualized culture and let God speak to you in prayer. You will be most happy in the vocation that God has planned for you.
This was the post that I wrote a year ago when I made the decision, and the following is a video I just made today where I explained the basics:

"An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves."- Bill Vaughn
Out with the Blonde............
In with the Brunette!
New year meant it was time to switch up the hair and try something different so Anne Baker was kind enough hook me up with a sweet dye job! I got lots of compliments and felt like a new lady!
Also January kicked of the start of maybe my most favorite job to date!
Now I've worked ALOT of different gigs in my day, but one stands out as being the most fun/ easiest job for my money!
And that was playing Big Bend's mascot Thor.
50 bucks a game for a solid 15 minutes of actual work, I'd dance around during time outs and toss out Big Bend shirts to the crowd..... I got free gatorade and popsicles... I got to wear this sweet ice vest under the outfit to keep me cool and for the most part nobody knew who I was, so I could be as crazy as I wanted to! Well that's a lie people did know it was me, I thought I had them fooled, but I was wrong....doesn't matter still had a lot more courage with that mask on!
Not many people can say they where their school's mascot, I'm sure I could dominate many an icebreaker game with that little factoid!
Ah February....love was in the air
Just not for me!
Valentine's day was uneventful.........so if you remember I threw another kick butt party!
and it was the highlight of my month!
I dressed up as Ga Ga
And here are some of my other personal favorites from "the headbanger's ball"
That's Axel Rose, Steven Tyler, and Slash
and all 6 members of KISS????
Yeah that was good times fo sho!
Don't ask why I didn't blog about our stake play this year I am ashamed I never got around to it!
From December to the end of March we worked on the Production of Hello Dolly, and it was another job well done if you ask me! I had another part that I loved (Ernestina Money) and lots of sweet costumes, not to mention lots of fun times with my stake play family!
Here are some of my favorite shots from that show!
The whole cast and crew
Sis. Ceja was like my personal assistant...she's the BEST!
Let's face it... Brittany and I are SUPERSTARS!
me with my love interest Horace!
Us lovely ladies on the spirit of 14th street float!
"Sweet Rosie O'Grady...My Sweet Little Rose!"
no blue mondays in those sunday clothes!
I was the old lady in the hat shop keeping Cassie in line!
Jessica and I made front page news.......a thank you!
At the cast party I was awarded one of the Director's awards... got my name printed on it and everything! I was pretty proud!
First 3 months of the year were busy busy like always........... Stay tuned for Spring time!

Our Mission
Bluestocking Film Series is an annual multi-day destination festival based in Portland, Maine. Bluestocking celebrates and promotes talented, established and emerging filmmakers who take the creative risk of placing female protagonists front and center, and serves as a showcase to amplify female voices and stories. Bluestocking was the first of its kind: an all-narrative short film festival that requires films to feature female protagonist and pass the Bechdel-Wallace Test.
Bluestocking Film Series is nothing short of genius — a beacon in the storm of gender inequity in Hollywood. The program truly casts a rare light illuminating a better future when women's voices are no longer censored and silenced in American storytelling. It is just this sort of inspired foresight that could result in the inclusion of women in the voice of our civilization — at last. —Maria Giese, film director, founder of Women Directors: Navigating the Hollywood Boys Club
By bringing independent and industry professionals from the U.S. and around the globe to cultivate ties with creative leaders pushing for cultural change from within Hollywood, Bluestocking's work boldly empowers audiences and filmmakers alike to be a part of a vibrant and necessary cinema (r)evolution that is bound to influence the future of filmed entertainment. Bluestocking is a program of Cinefemme, a non-profit organization that provides fiscal sponsorship and support for women filmmakers and artists.
Bluestocking curates and showcases the "best of the best" female-driven short films produced around the world. We are dedicated to the idea that #RepresentationMatters and look for films that reflect the diversity and multiplicity of the Female Experience. We believe that audiences are hungry to see stories where women and girls lead the action and drive the story, and we are here to provide a smorgasbord of Complex Female Protagonists.
Narrative works by women are so underfunded and underscreened. Bluestocking harvests the best, dynamic works with women in the heart of the frame, the center of the story. —Ariel Dougherty, Media Equity, co-founder Women Make Movies
With every passing year and every screening, we continue to prove that audiences love a good story no matter what the lead character's gender is.
where we've been
Expanding programs every year since 2011, Bluestocking seeks to attract diverse international filmmaking talent and industry leaders to nurture women's individual and collective voices. Bluestocking films travel across the U.S.. and around the world to festivals and venues as screening blocks.
Bluestocking was the real deal with uniting women in film and talking real issues in this business. The camaraderie was real with these filmmakers, and it continues on after. —Yolonda Ross , Actor-Writer-Director
What an inspiring and illuminating weekend the 6th Bluestocking Film Series was for me. I'd covered this festival in the past in my role as Boston Globe local film columnist. But I did not truly grasp how galvanizing and empowering it is for both filmmakers and audiences until I participated myself. It was also amazing to see how much the entire Portland community embraces and celebrates this festival. I moderated a panel discussion to kick off the series and I could not have asked for more informed, lively, passionate participants — and an audience that was equally engaged. The rest of the festival was for me just as enjoyable and eye-opening. From the scope of films to the diversity of filmmakers, the festival manages just the right blend of accessible and sophisticated; it's welcoming to all, but those who love film and who crave substantial depictions of women will be most satisfied. What a well-produced, thoughtful festival with a clear and important mission. Thank you, Bluestocking; I can't wait to return! —Loren King, Boston Globe Film Critic
Bluestocking encourages and promotes production of narratives driven by strong, complex female protagonists, characters who are as fully-developed, heroic, complicated, and flawed as their male counterparts, with a marked preference for well-structured, highly visual, cutting edge, provocative films, especially those that explore the plurality and variety of women's relationships.

I'm at 36 weeks now. I can't believe that I haven't written an update in 11 weeks (well, I can, I am a procrastinator and have been pretty busy, but still). I am getting huge. I thought I was huge 11 weeks ago but I was wrong. I forgot just how huge I can get. I went shopping with my sister the other day and she started giggling when I picked up a watermelon. She said my belly was bigger than the watermelon :).
What do you think? Which is bigger?
According to my weekly pregnancy email Little Man 2 is the size of honeydew now, around 18 inches long (that is a big honeydew :)). It also said that at this point if Little Man 2 was born he would almost definitely be fine. He may have some time in the NICU but long term there is no discernible difference between babies born full term and babies born between 34 and 37 weeks. This is not to say that I am ready to give birth now (although part of me is), I am not planning to be induced early, but it does calm some worries if Little Man 2 decides to make an early entrance.
The reason I was worried about that is because we had some excitement a few weeks ago. One night I started having contractions and I had 7-10 of them in an hour and they were getting more intense and painful. I was only 33 weeks along at that point and we worried that I was going into preterm labor. I called the afterhours dr and she said to come in and get checked out. We went into labor and delivery and got hooked up to the monitors and such. The contractions started slowing down which was good. The nurse did a pelvic exam and found that my cervix was still really high and I was not dilated. So we knew that the contractions were just Braxton hicks. They also did a couple of labs to see if they could find what was causing the contractions. One lab was a swab test that told if I was going to go into labor in the next couple weeks, it came back negative. The other was a urine sample to see if I had a UTI, that one came back positive. The nurse said that UTIs and even sometimes just a full bladder can cause contractions. She said that for their preterm labor moms if they start having contractions they tell them to empty their bladder (a good tip for any pregnant mommies out there having early contractions). It ended with them sending me home with a prescription for an antibiotic and a plan for me to come back for my regular appt 1.5 weeks later.
Last week was my regular appt. I had still been having contractions fairly regularly and some period like cramping so I mentioned it to my dr. She thought that I still have the UTI, the first round of antibiotics didn't clear it up, so she gave me a prescription for another one. I also asked her if I can take probiotics when pregnant and she said yes, it is safe (I figured that I could, but the bottle says ask your dr so I did). I have heard that taking probiotics after you go through antibiotics helps restore good gut health so I thought this might help when I am done with the antibiotics (Antibiotics wipe out all bacteria in your system, probiotics put good bacteria in your system). Otherwise everything looked good at the appt, nice low blood pressure (thank you Yahweh!), baby growing well, good heartbeat, head down. All in all a good appt. I am to the point where I will have appts every week until I give birth so I had another appt this week and they will check to see if the infection has cleared up then.
I think that sleep at this stage of pregnancy is sorta a cruel joke. You only have a few more weeks to sleep before you will be up with a newborn every few hours, so you really need your sleep. But of course you can't because you are huge, and uncomfortable, and in pain, and have to pee every few hours. And for some reason several nights this week I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep for 1 or more hours. Last night was better, but some nights are pretty miserable.
My back hurts a lot especially after a contraction. I hope that is not a sign that I will have back labor this time (I was thankfully able to avoid that last time).
I feel like this pregnancy has been a lot more "normal" (it is following what the books say more). With Little Man 1 I had all sorts of random side problems like high blood pressure, a lot of hip pain, and almost constant illness (I had a cold, flu, or infection going on almost every week of the pregnancy). And not all of the pain and illness went away after I gave birth. I was in physical therapy for several months for my hips after I gave birth, I actually only stopped physical therapy because I got pregnant again and I needed to save some physical therapy allotments in case I need it again this time. This time I have been having the heat flashes, and Braxton hicks, and discomfort that the books talk about. I am still trying to figure out which type of pregnancy is worse. I think I have figured out that I am not one of those people that enjoys pregnancy. I thought I might be before I got pregnant the first time, but I was wrong. But the end product is so worth it. I wouldn't trade Little Man for the world, and I know I'll feel that way about this little one too.
I was convicted on Sunday that I need to be more thankful for my children. I have been so uncomfortable lately with this pregnancy and I didn't really feel like I had a choice about being pregnant this time (God sometimes has different ideas about when we should have children than we do :)) so I haven't been thankful that God has given me these children. I know that I would be very sad and desperately wanting children if I didn't have them (I have always been a kid person and had always wanted to have children) so I need to be thankful that God gave them to me.
My belly button has started to come out. I have an extremely stubborn innie belly button. With Little Man 1 it never popped, it never even came close, it never got flat, it was still a deep innie belly button the whole 38 weeks. It did come out quite a ways, but it was still really deep. This time it is starting to pop out. So far it is mostly the top of the belly button, but the whole thing is getting squishier and shallower. We'll see, maybe it will come out yet :).
The nausea still comes occasionally. And food aversions are still pretty strong. Most of the time I am hungry but don't want anything that I can think of. I generally have to just make something that I know I will be able to stand and then just eat it. This kinda reminds me of the first trimester (although the first trimester was worse). In the first trimester I would make food and not think about eating it until I was eating it. I literally had to tell myself "I am not going to eat this food, I am just preparing it" and I would keep telling myself that until it was eaten :). This is not as bad, but I still don't really want food. Although Little Man's tuna sandwiches smell good so I often have those or peanut butter and jelly.
My hips and back hurt a lot especially after a contraction and it makes it very difficult to find a comfortable position for sitting or laying, and I don't have the energy to stand for very long, so I am just uncomfortable most of the time.
I bought a pregnancy pillow for $15 off of a local garage sale site. I tried a pregnancy pillow with Little Man 1 and it was so horrible that I promised myself that I wouldn't do that again. But when I found this one for only $15 (great price!) and it was a different shape than the last one I bought I decided to give it another try. I am very glad I did, it has taken some work to get it to work right, but it is better than it was. At first I tried sleeping with just the pillow but the neck part is uncomfortable on my neck and by the 3rd night sleeping with it I was waking up frequently because of discomfort. So I started switching back and forth – 2 nights with pregnancy pillow, 2 nights with other pillows. That worked for a while but it is a pain to constantly switch pillows. So then I tried turning the pregnancy pillow over so the head part is under my legs, and using my regular head pillow under my head. This has been working for me so far. I have had to add 2 couch pillows under my legs to keep my hips from screaming, but it works. Hopefully it will keep working for a couple more weeks.
I have been craving roast beef with mashed potatoes and all the wonderful comfort food sides. I can totally cook that, but it takes a decent amount of work. So when Mr. Random asked me where I wanted to eat on our date last week I asked to go to cracker barrel. They have a roast beef dinner with 3 sides and biscuits. It was soo good. But their portion sizes are kinda small so I think that I will try to make it myself instead of going there again soon. $10 for only one meal is expensive, for that price we usually at least have leftovers so it is 2 meals.
I am extremely susceptible to food in movies and tv shows so now I am craving chocolate chip cookies and candy bars (I also have a big sweet tooth in pregnancy). I told Mr. Random last night that he is lucky that I am not one of the pregnant ladies who sends him out to buy everything that I crave. I am too frugal for that, but I don't turn down an occasional treat when offered :)
I have been having hot flashes and just overall being warmer than usual. With Little Man 1 I never really had that problem, I am pretty sure it is because my thyroid was out of whack and we didn't know it. My hands and feet have become little heaters. If I press my palms together I feel like I am burning up. When I am having a hot flash Mr. Random can't stand to have my hands touching him because they are so hot. Is this normal? I have no idea.
I am calculating that I have 2-4 more weeks to go. Little Man 1 came 2 weeks and 1 day early and they say second babies come quicker than first babies so here's praying that Little Man 2 doesn't decide to go overdue.

Virginia Tech vs. Virginia ACC Football Pick
The Virginia Cavaliers are quietly having one of their best years in college football. No one expected them to do anything, but going into the final game of the year they have a chance to play for the ACC Title if they can eke out a win. The only thing standing is their way is big brother; Virginia Tech. Tech is favored by anywhere from -4.5 to -5.5 currently. Monitor the lines here.
The perennial powerhouse Hokies are 10-1 and ranked 5th in the nation. Frank Beamer's team is used to being in this position. They have been to a BCS Bowl in 3 of the past 4 years.
RB David Wilson powers the offense. He's rushed 231 times for 1,442 yards and 7 TDs in 2011. He's rushed for 100+ yards in all but 2 games this year. Sophomore Logan Thomas is doing well in his first year at the helm of the offense and his past two games are especially impressive. He passed for a combined 404 yards and 5 TDs against Georgia Tech and North Carolina.
Virginia enters this game after defeating Florida State on the road. Now they get the Hokies at home. The offense will rely on Sophomore Michael Rocco. He had a rocky start to 2011, but his past few games have been great. He tossed 2 TDs against Miami and had 226 yards in the air. He completed 22 of 31 against FSU for a TD. Facing Frank Beamers defense will be a special challenge, but the young 'fella might be ready for it playing at home.
Against common opponents, Tech is 4-0 and Virginia is 3-1, with the one loss coming to North Carolina, 28-17. The other three games were all similar scores to those of Virginia Tech against the same opponents. In fact, the Virginia defense allowed fewer points than Tech's in 2 out of the 3 games giving up just 21 points to Georgia Tech, Miami and Duke.
Defense is where this one will be won. If you look at the numbers season to date, you'd have to give Tech the edge defensively, but again, a look at common opponents tells us these two are closer than the season to date numbers suggest defensively. Note that Virginia held Florida State scoreless longer than any other Florida State opponent this year and that was on the road in last weeks 14-13 win.
Opportunities like this come just about every year for Virginia Tech, a program that wins 10+ games every year. Opportunities like this are rare for Virginia, a team that has won 5, 3 and 4 games in each of the past 3 seasons. Sometimes in sports, you've got to give destiny a chance. This will be the biggest football game in many years for the University of Virginia, which was founded by Thomas Jefferson is 1819 (had to throw that in there).
But we don't have to rely on destiny alone. The numbers also suggest Virginia is the right side. The yards per point numbers favor Virginia by 4 on a neutral field and our score prediction model calls for a 20-18 Virginia Tech win. In either case, a Virginia cover. We'd love to get +6 or more but would still play this all the way down to +3.
With a total of 45.5, we also think the under is worth a look. Virginia's best chance for success, we feel, is a repeat performance of the Florida State game. Both of these teams can play some defense. So, two recommendations here. Virginia +5.5 and Under 45.5

Great Foundations
Seneca has strong foundations, with faculty and staff who care deeply that we continuously make learning and working here even better. It is through these foundations that we will support great teaching and learning and great student experiences.
A different kind of school built on the foundations of its people and environment will:
- Foster an inspiring culture. More than buildings, state-of-the art equipment or technology, what makes any organization unique is its culture. In all we do, from our hiring process to the way in which we welcome students to Seneca, we are guided by our values and beliefs. Our culture is founded on a pride in our college and a strong commitment to communications, to openness and to providing a respectful working and learning environment.
- Support talented people. Already recognized as a leading employer in the Greater Toronto Area, Seneca is committed to helping our faculty and staff grow and learn. Our leadership training and employee development opportunities will help nurture our next generation of leaders and keep staff skills current and fresh.
- Provide modern high-quality infrastructure. Our Campus Master Plans outline a clear vision for the future of Seneca's infrastructure and are linked to our smart growth strategy. We will continue to focus on creating modern environments so that our students have opportunities to learn and collaborate in inspiring spaces with access to cutting-edge equipment. Equally important is our ongoing project to transform our enterprise systems to better support students and employees.
- Integrate planning. We will implement new planning processes to ensure that in everything from risk management to enrolment growth management, we have the tools we need to be successful. The result will be more effectively integrated planning processes across our faculties and departments.
- Recognize the importance of strong relationships. Seneca's network is ever expanding. Our international students and alumni are excellent ambassadors for Seneca and have an important role to play in helping us grow our international partnerships. We are committed to working with our college and university partners on expanding transfer opportunities for students, and to working closely with our government partners to help support their priorities. We will continue to make significant contributions through our fundraising campaigns to support both Seneca and external initiatives. We understand that when we invest in our community, our community will invest in us.
- Maximize our investments and expand our revenue sources. Given that the next decade will be characterized by constrained government resources, we will need to actively seek out new partnerships and alternative revenue sources. A strategic approach to partnership development and philanthropy will create stronger connections with industry and alumni to help grow our endowment and will underpin the development of Seneca's future capital campaigns. Changing demographics also mean that we will need to continuously assess our activities and locations to ensure value for service and their alignment with our strategic priorities.

Hey, Beautiful! - The Solids
Hey guys!
I really have to get rid of the summer posts that i haven't uploaded yet...haha!
Anyway, the days are getting shorter, the weather becomes more windy and rainy.. last opportunity to
wear some summer outfits!
I like how the prints of my H&M shorts and my Forever21 top look almost the same from distance!
It's a really playful look, that's why decided to style it with some yellow accessoires to add some
extra color - once again: my comfy sneakers plus my new watch! It's a real eye catcher & pimps up
every simple outfit!

America is often referred to as the land of opportunities. Many have made use of the opportunities on offer and struck it big. There is a strong unmistakable entrepreneurial spirit that is omnipresent, especially if you are in a place like the Silicon Valley and I felt it was difficult to remain immune from it. . I had the privilege of being at the heart of Silicon Valley and see many of those organizations who from their humble beginnings in a garage or a backyard, went onto become large multinational conglomerates and household names across the world
Infact when in this country, one realizes that there are many more large corporations, probably just as bigger as the American firms we know, and yet they never left the shores of USA to explore business opportunities elsewhere. Exemplary customer service and good products have ensured a strong business in the US. Nothing in the Silicon Valley even remotely hints of any recession. Restaurants are running full, retail outlets are bustling with customers, and roads are busy with traffic.
Amidst all these observation, the most interesting and surprising observation I had was that of a paradox! A paradox, that appears to exist in the general American psyche. A paradox that is as funnier as it is surprising! Let me explain. As we know there are many hugely successful US enterprises who have not only done exceptionally well in America but also in many of the countries where they also setup their operations in. Among them, not all but, few handful of organizations are reserved for 'awe', 'love' 'affection' and 'Pride' in the American Psyche. Many American organizations have to face tremendous and widespread public hatred at home and here in lays the paradox. These hated orgs, make no mistake, are huge and successful across the world. The paradox becomes even more interesting when many of the orgs that are hated here are loved overseas and seen synonymous with the American Culture.
It is a syndrome of "Despised at home, loved elsewhere" (no I am not talking about husbands). Any American worth his or her salt wouldn't like to be seen doing anything with these despised organizations! A middle class American wouldn't like to be seen shopping in Wal-Mart, eating in McDonalds or Pizza Hut and driving Dodge. Even if an American is doing all of the above he wouldn't like to be caught doing it! The case of Wal-Mart is worth a special mention here. Not only is it widely hated but I felt it also shows the class-divide in an American society. There are three classes, as per me, a Class that shops in Wal-Mart by choice, a class that shops at Wal-Mart by compulsion and a class that stays away from Wal-Mart under all circumstances. Infact the ones shopping by choice make all attempts to show they are doing it out of compulsion, the ones who are doing out of compulsion wouldn't like to be caught in the act! Known for poor business ethics, poor work atmosphere, low pay and plethora of cheap Chinese made goods, I haven't seen or heard any other org singled out for such choicest abuses, widespread hatred and yet be No1 (No.2) Fortune 500 company! Therein lays the Paradox!
There are many more such examples. Ofcourse not all large organizations are hated, though their record might be no different than Wal-Mart. There are few that are nonetheless reserved for widespread Awe, love, affection and what every American would like to identify with or take pride in. Apple, Starbucks, Cosco are some names that I could immediately remember based on the interactions I had. There are status symbols everywhere and America is no different, however the paradoxical nature of these symbols is what made it very interesting to observe. I need to update one of my previous blog about FDI(sigh!)

Full details of our speakers for Migrating Texts 2016. We will add details of more speakers as they confirm.
Session 1: Subtitling
Dr Alison Smith, University of Liverpool, UK
Dr. Alison Smith is Subject Head of Film Studies at the University of Liverpool. She has published several articles on aspects of language exchange in European cinema as part of an ongoing project on the European screen's approach to the multilingual. She has also published monographs on Agnès Varda and Jacques Rivette, (the latter with Douglas Morrey), and is currently planning a monograph on the cinematic thought of Georges Didi-Huberman.
Jean-François Cornu, translator and independent scholar, France
Jean-François Cornu is an independent translator and researcher, specialising in the subtitling of English-speaking films, and the translation of film and art books into French. His research interests include the history and aesthetics of film translation, as well as the films of Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock. He published Le doublage et le sous-titrage de films: histoire et esthétique in 2014, and is currently co-editing a forthcoming book in English on film translation in the silent and early talking eras.
Dr Irene de Higes Andino, Universitat Jaume I, Spain
Dr. Irene de Higes Andino holds a PhD on Translation and Interpreting by the Universitat Jaume I (Castelló de la Plana, Spain) with a thesis on dubbing and subtitling multilingual films into Spanish (http://hdl.handle.net/10803/144753). She has worked as a production assistant in a dubbing studio and as a freelance translator specialised in articles about cinema, dubbing and voiceover for TV, subtitling and audio description. Irene is lecturer at the Translation and Communication Department at Universitat Jaume I where she teaches audiovisual translation and accessibility, catalan language and specialized translation. She has also taught at the Valencian International University (VIU) and the ISTRAD. She is member of the research group TRAMA (Translation and Communication in Audiovisual Media). Her research interests focus on multilingualism, identity, AV translation and accessibility.
Session 2: Translation and adaptation
Ellen Jones (Asymptote/Queen Mary's, University of London)
Ellen Jones has a B.A. in English literature and Spanish, and an M.St. in English Language from the University of Oxford. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Queen Mary University of London, researching English-Spanish bilingualism in contemporary prose, and the particular challenges associated with reading, publishing, and translating this kind of writing. Her translations have appeared in the Guardian, Asymptote, Columbia Journal, and Palabras errantes. She is Criticism Editor at Asymptote.
Lara Parmiani (Artistic Director, Legal Aliens Theatre Company)
LegalAliens is dedicated to original translations of contemporary European plays. The company's passion for sharing stories from "foreign" countries has led it to reconsider the very process of translating for theatre. Every language carries in its vowels, consonants, diphthongs the character of the culture that generated it. Syntax – the way sentences are weaved together – on stage isn't just grammar but rhythm, syncopation, tune. Legalaliens' translations are never a literary endeavour carried out by one person in isolation but a collaborative process taking place in the rehearsal room, with actors, director and translator working together, experimenting with different versions of a text, playing with rhythm, pitch, images, often re-writing the English text over and over until a version is found that does justice to the original. The company always involves bilingual collaborators (whether directors, actors or translators) in the process, to make sure the original can be "heard" if required.
LegalAliens' current production is Poker Face by Czech writer Petr Kolečko. Previous shows include Neither here nor there by Maggie Rose (Soho Theatre Studio/Italian cultural centre), The Return by Sergio Pierattini (Camden Fringe/St James' Theatre Studio), The Old and the Young: the ineluctability of chaos, a devised piece inspired by a novel by Luigi Pirandello.
Eva Danicková (Translator, Legal Aliens Theatre Company)
Eva Danicková is a dramaturg, theatre translator and occasional librettist. Translation/dramaturgy credits include Obsession and The Green Room by Arnošt Goldflam (Company of Angels Woolwich Theatre Café and Etcetera Theatre), Boiled Heads and Hellby Marek Horoščák (Tristan Bates and Royal Court International Residency) and Spiritual Death in Venice by S.d.Ch. (The Horse Hospital). Other play translation credits include From the Dust of Stars by Lenka Lagronová, Job Interviews by Petr Zelenka and Olgaby Anna Saavedra. Librettos include The Moonflower (composer Mario Ferraro, produced for the Tête à Tête Opera Festival) and Insein (composer Chris Warner, Tête à Tête Opera Festival 2012). Eva also works as a production dramaturg in collaboration with directors and theatre companies. Credits include community productions of The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare at the Ostrava International Shakespeare Festival and Dream On community theatre workshop with Parrabbola in Ostrava, Czech Republic. As a translator-dramaturg, Eva is present in rehearsals and working collaboratively with the creative team. Collaborative theatre translation is also a subject of Eva's PhD which she is pursuing at the University of Hull.
Dr Tamar Steinitz (Goldsmiths, University of London)
Tamar Steinitz is a Lecturer at the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London, and has worked as a literary translator from English into Hebrew. She published Translingual Identities: Language and the Self in Stefan Heym and Jakov Lind (2013), and is co-editor of the collection Multilingual Currents in Literature, Translation and Culture (forthcoming in 2017), which explores contemporary relationships between language, translation, politics, and literary form.
