Hey Fabbers,
WOOF is participating in this year's UW Engineering Discovery Days and need volunteers to help out.
Discovery Days is April 26 & 27 and we will need at least three volunteers every hour:
Friday April 26:
Setup: 8:30 - 9:00
Event starts: 9:00 - 2:00
Clean-up: 2:00 - 2:30
Saturday April 27:
Setup: 9:30 - 10:00
Event starts: 10:00 - 2:00
Clean-up: 2:00 - 2:30
I have created a Doodle poll with each hour option. Please sign up for times that you will be helping out. No need for any prior 3D knowledge, we are happy to teach you everything you need. I have limited the number of people that can sign up for each hour to three obviously the more the merrier, so if a slot is full just show up. We MUST have three volunteers every hour.
After you have signed up, please send me an e-mail with your name and the time you signed up (so that I know who to hunt down if you don't show up)
All the little kiddies thank you!

After giving birth to Braylon I was transferred to the Mother/Baby Unit. The first day we were running on pure adrenaline. Giving birth in the middle of the night is tough! You are up the whole day prior to giving birth…all night…and then the whole next day!
My parents were there for the birth of Braylon and already had the opportunity to meet him. We were anxiously awaiting Eric's parents to arrive once visiting hours began.
Then my parents brought in Grayden and Addelyn. We were SOOOO excited for the kids to meet their new baby brother!!
Their first reactions were precious! Addelyn was a little nervous the first few minutes but warmed right up! I invited the kids on the bed to sit with Braylon and I. They gave him a hug and kiss and couldn't wait to touch him. Grayden was SO inquisitive. He has never asked so many questions or shown so much interest in something.
My mom made BIG BROTHER/BIG SISTER bags for the kids and brought them to the hospital. GREAT IDEA!! The kids had their own dolls, doctor's kits, and coloring books to keep them occupied.
The first night was a little rough. I think I was woken up every hour. Between the nurses checking on me and Braylon, giving me my pain medication, check each of our vitals, giving Braylon his hearing test and 24 hour screening…. the night was not very restful. The next day I was anxious to get Braylon's newborn pictures taken, have a few friends visit, and have our families visit again.
We felt so blessed to have both sets of parents stay for the weekend to help with the big kids and visit us!
We REALLY looked forward to our final night in the hospital after visiting hours were over to just REST. We watched a movie and held our baby.
While it is fresh in my head….and with so many friends having babies in the near future, here are
some MUST HAVE items for the hospital and links to some of my favorite brands:
Nursing Camisole (1-2)
Lamaze Maternity Nursing Camisole
Nursing Pajama Top
Jessica Simpson Lace Trim Nursing 2 Piece Set
Dark, loose fitting pants (2-3 pairs) …I wore these during the day AND at night. You don't want to bleed through any cute pants.
Ladies' French Terry Lounge Pant
1larger pair of underwear to wear home
Going Home Outfit
Toiletries (don't forget body wash)
While feeling nervous for "real life" to take over as we left the hospital, we were ready to be a family of five!

PPAC should be the first priority-- I've gotten it to work, but attempts at packaging it have been held up by the fact that I'm still not sure about UI and whether I even want to use high pressure air or a pump. Would be great for a contest, but not unless it's (1) done and (2) demonstrated through video. First-things-first time:
- EAGLE: set up with display, jog/shuttle, RTC, buttons, switch, power, and output. Don't worry about whether output is to relays or oo's,
- Arduino: get a good program working on the breadboarded circuit,
- Figure out best fill/empty plan,
- THEN start laying it out in 3D for the final build.
Next up (while figuring out ppac fill/empty plan) is a working growduino with relays, no sensing, no logging, and no solar-- don't try everything at once! Better to get something growing.
The invervalometer is so close, but needs:
- To be reeled back to the breadboard after the stuffing problem-- Arduino OK?!
- Panasonic-capable trigger,
- Serious power system consideration.
The mutetater should be a simple build:
- Limit to Sony since that's easy to read, and I have Samid's old Sony TV,
- Breadboard > potato should be simple using a dorkboard with female header pins.

World's Famous And Most popular HCG Diet Works Only With HCG drops:
Basically, when you are overweight or obese, the chances that you will quickly accumulate body fat are very high even if you eat normally. But if you are not overweight or obese, you will have a hard to time to gain weight. Yes that is actually true even if you over eat or eat excessively. The reason behind this is because of the metabolism of the body. When you are overweight the metabolism of the body is very slow which means that it will burn food slower, but with a regular fit person, their metabolism is very high which is why they will never get fat so easily even if they over eat.
But there are many ways one could achieve their wanted figure, get into shape and loss all those unwanted weight. It is with the help of the HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone, which the HCG diet has. It can provide fast weight loss and also one of the safest products or supplements to use for the body. Does it sound too good to be true? But don't worry; it is to be expected to be a little skeptically when you have first heard of this. After all, many individuals that are suffering from weight loss problems have already tried many weight loss solutions without any results in the end, only their hopes ruined and moneys lost.
Since its first discovery on 1950, Dr Simeons, have researched the hormone hoping to achieve a solution for weight loss problems without having any side effects such as starvation or even life threatening complications. The HCG diet is derived from the HCG diet protocol, which is composed of only allowing its dieters to eat or consume of about 500 calories per day. It may seem very dangerous to do at first but as you continue to know what the HCG hormone does for the body, you would be enlightened that it is simply the safest weight loss treatment out there.
Because of the very low calorie diet it is easily seen that the weight loss results that the HCG diet provides its user is really effective and that it is one of the easiest ways to lose weight fast. Some dieters take drops like HCG complex to control their hunger. Not only HCG complex, there are many popular diet drops on market. You can go through this website on world's famous hcg drops which are available on market https://besthcgdropswebsite.com/ .The HCG diet comprises of many forms of the HCG hormone, but regardless of which one you are going to pick, if the HCG hormone is present in them, chances are that you are really going to have the best and safest weight loss ever.
The HCG diet or treatment is loosely based on thinking that obesity is an illness or body disorder, so in order to cure any illness, proper knowledge about it is very crucial and understanding it is the only way one could come up with a cure for it. Also remember that during the HCG diet, you have to make sure that you are going to take the HCG hormone every day to ensure that you will be having its benefits. The HCG diet is really one of the best weight loss programs due to these facts

Apparently, the networks saved the best shows for last. The latest shows to debut this fall are by far the best of the batch. Here's a look at Heroes, The Nine, Ugly Betty and Friday Night Lights. It's a good year for TV, Tubers!
Heroes — If you watch one new show this fall, make it this one. Heroes is so compelling it will keep you glued to the tube for the entire hour. Heroes is the story of people who possess superpowers and are living among us: One can see the future. One can travel through time. One is invincible, and so on. The result is a strong, well-written character drama with moments of humor. In short, Tubers, it's this year's Lost. The breakout star of the show is the delightful Masi Oka, as Hiro Nakamura, the hero with the ability to time travel. However, the entire cast is strong, not a weak link among them. Sendhil Ramamurthy is engrossing, as the son trying to solve his father's murder and make sense of his mysterious research on the heroes. Greg Grunberg, of Felicity fame, stars as Matt Parkman, who has the ability to read people's thoughts. (Yes, it's as spectacular as you're imagining.) And I'm not sure exactly what power Ali Larter's character, Niki Sanders, possesses, but let's just say it gives a whole new meaning to the term "split personality." I'm a little nervous if these folks are the ones destined to save the world, but hey, Clark Kent can't be everywhere, people. Heroes is the only show this season to receive a perfect four-star rating from Tube Talk. (NBC, Mondays at 9 p.m. EST.)
The Nine — I loved this show, and you will, too. The Nine is the story of nine people taken hostage during a bank robbery. Don't worry; it's not what you think. This drama is packed full of rich characters, who we get to know through flashbacks and their actions during the 52-hour hostage crisis. The robbery forces each of them to make choices and, later, live with the consequences of those choices. Tim Daly is perfect, as always, as charming police detective Nick Cavanaugh. (Thank you ABC for getting Daly back on our screens.) Kim Raver, Scott Wolf and the rest of the cast also shine. The Nine has great potential and should be money in the bank for ABC, if viewers will commit. Miss The Nine, and you're robbing yourself of one of the season's best new shows. (ABC, Wednesdays at 10 p.m. EST.)
Ugly Betty — Betty Suarez is my new hero. This plain Jane from Queens, with disturbingly bad fashion taste, landed a job in the snobbish, cruel, cutthroat world of high fashion. Ridiculed on a daily basis for her braces, hair, wardrobe and figure, Betty doesn't crumble. With intelligence and humility, Betty proves to her new boss Daniel (Eric Mabius) that she's an asset he can't afford to lose. America Ferrera is endearing and loveable as awkward Betty. Mabius is well cast, too. Despite Daniel's player tendencies, he seems to have some redeeming qualities. He understands that Betty's beauty may not be in her physical appearance, but in her ability to be honest, hard working and a true friend. Ugly Betty is filled with plenty of laughs, too, as you would expect. Vanessa Williams channels Cruella De Vil when portraying Wilhelmina Slater, Daniel's nemesis. Ugly Betty is the most beautiful new comedy this season. Don't miss it. (ABC, Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST.)
Friday Night Lights — With Kyle Chandler headlining a show, you can't go wrong. However, if you're not a sports fan, you may be disappointed with this new drama. Friday Night Lights chronicles the story of a small town in Texas where football is the main attraction. From little old ladies to pushy businessmen, everyone has an opinion about the team. The good townsfolk start talking on Monday morning about Friday's game, and of course, are eager to share their advice with the new coach (Chandler.) The executive producer has said the show will be about more than football, and I hope it turns out that way. Honestly, I could have used a little less of the game in the premiere and a little more character backstory. But, I'm not giving up yet, especially after the tragic accident to the team's quarterback that will surely cause tension in the town and with the players. I'm not sure if Friday Night Lights will be a touchdown for NBC, as it's up against some stiff competition from Dancing with the Stars, NCIS, House, and Gilmore Girls. But if you like football, Chandler, and sports dramas, it may score with you. (NBC, Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST.)

I really enjoyed "The Nine"! It's a nice counterpoint to "Lost". (Oh, and Tim Daly, the voice of "Superman" from the cartoon realms is STILL HOT!)
- tube talk girl said...
Wait...he's the voice of Supes? Seriously? Where have I been? Watching reruns of "Wings" I guess. Where can I catch Super Daly, the Cartoon Network?
- lawgirl98 said...
Yup. On "The Justice League". Lois kick a** on that! The interplay between "The Bat" and "The Man" is priceless.

So I have finally exhausted all the methods/suggestions that I found/was told about on the forums, wiki, and irc. The situation is this:
I have a new Asus eeePC 1015BX which has an AMD C-60 APU (that is, CPU+GPU) where the GPU is a Radeon HD 6290 (and, in case it matters, the audio is Radeon HD 6250/6310) which, depending on the cpu govenor and load, runs at anywhere from ~80 to ~90C! (confirmed with acpi -t, sensors and my fingers) This is very hot, and worrying indeed (emergency shutoff is a mere ten degrees away). I have put this down to the GPU running at full speed constantly (though I am not certain) I can confirm that the GPU clockspeed is changing when I use dynpm by checking "/sys/kernel/.../radeon_pm_info". I would really like to use this netbook, but I don't for fear of meltdown
As for what I have already tried/determined:
-From a cold boot, by the time I log into the tty, the temperature is already in the high seventies and climbs quickly from there (and never drops below ~78C, even on virtually zero CPU and GPU load).
-Every kernel avaliable in ARM (from 3.0.x through to the current 3.6.8 or whatever it is at the time of writing) as well as the LTS and even a 3.7.rc1 (or some such) and none of that seems to have any effect (there were Sandy Bridge folk reporting a change with that, but I am on AMD and it seems the causes are unrelated) [this was a painful process]
-Turning the GPU semi-off by installing acpi_call and running test_off.sh to check if there were any switches I could change. There are none.
-Turning on power management (of the most aggressive sort) using the echo dynpm > /sys/class/drm/card0/... trick as outlined in the wiki.
-The catalyst fglrx module and the ati-dri one (with and without kms).
-Plain, old reinstalling from scratch (which seems futile given that the live image on the install medium suffers this same problem too).
-All the relevant eee-related stuff in the AUR doesn't work on my particular model, and so has no effect.
Note that cpu scaling seems to have an effect on the temperature (albeit a small one) and so I don't think that that is the issue, and also that this is not a hybrid machine - there is no other GPU. Any feedback whatsoever would be greatly valued. Oh, and if anyone needs more info on the machine or whatever the case may be, I'm happy to provide - I just gave what I thought was necessary to understand the problem.

So, after exploring (nearly) every possibility at my disposal, I found that using kernels 3.5.7 (or thereabout) and 3.6.8 + proprietry catalyst driver + c6 mode enabled in bios + cool and quiet disabled in bios + X server running, I could get the temperature down to ~69C if I let the netbook idle for a [long] while. This is still unacceptably high, but the lowest I have found thus far. For some unapparent reason, the fan shuts off almost entirely at this temperature and so I suspect that there is a fan speed issue on this netbook - if it continued at its highest setting, nay, any setting at all, I have no doubt that the netbook would cool down to a healty 30-40C, but this is not the case (under any configuration).
Interestingly, the open source drivers (ati-dri and even ati-dri-git) produce a temperature about 10-12C higher than is achieved using the fglrx module - despite the fact that both scale the GPU properly. This is incredibly frustrating. So, I suppose a stop-gap solution would be direct control of the cpu fan and wedge it to maximum (though I have no way of telling if that would work). However, sensors does not report any fans and installing the linux-firmware module did not change the situation. Any thoughts?
Hi Hiato
I manage to solve the problem. First of all you should not be so afraid of temperature. The critical temperature is for weird reason by factory setting 98C.
So 85C is no problem, and when it comes to 98C, eee shuts down without any further chineese syndrome taking place ;-)
By the way, my problem was that the eee actually closed down during normal usage due to overheating. Annoying!!! What seems to solve the problem was jupiter. Installation on ubuntu is explained here.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/124511/h … u-temp-low
My hunch to why jupiter solved the problem was that jupiter, contrary to the default ubuntu installation, found the correct way to use the screen. I seems that the wrong screen settings involved overload of resourses and overheating.
Anyhow now I can run a video in gxine, AND a youtubevideo in firefox, while having libreoffice open. This should be a mean combination, but the fan was able to reduce temp. to under 80C.
However, as I tried a lot of other funny things, these might have contributed to the solution. Installing fgxlr, ati and sensor explained in the links below suggest this.
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.p … 90057.html
http://tuxtweaks.com/2008/08/how-to-con … in-ubuntu/
Right now the cpu-temp is 78C, and it works fine :-)
Hope this will help you. Now you know that there IS a solution.
I forgot to say that I never managed to regulate the fan rpm manually because digifan (from the packet digitools) was bugged in ubuntu, and because pwmconfig was bugged or ??? But, nevertheless, the installation of sensors may be important for the automatic fancontrol???
You should also know the fglrx packages that I have installed. The catalyst control center that you should be able to find in your programmenu after installation, may have been crucial as well for using the Radeon graphics card.
ii fglrx 2:8.960-0ubuntu1.1 Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators
ii fglrx-amdcccle 2:8.960-0ubuntu1.1 Catalyst Control Center for the AMD graphics accelerators
rc fglrx-experimental-12 2:12.100-0ubuntu0.1 Experimental AMD binary Xorg driver and kernel module
One day more clever: Big surprise - it is the driver which is crucial. Neither jupiter nor sensors have any influence on the heating. The fglrx drivers and catalyst fix the problem. BUT, a new wellknown problem turns up: no rewake from suspend!!! But, the latest driver from Amd 13.3 has solved both issues.

"The bread which you do not use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your
wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked; the shoes that you do not wear are the shoes of
the one who is barefoot; the money that you keep locked away is the money of the poor; the
acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit." – St. Basil the Great
It's a little heavy-handed, I know. As an organizer, it's not a quote I pull out for everyone: but
I know that you, Jamie's loyal readers, will get this one. Collectively and individually we have a
lot of stuff.For good reason, I know! Many of us have young children and aren't planning on being "done" (if there is such a thing!) anytime soon. Several of us have the space for it: storage rooms, or if not that, at least enough totes to fake it. Some items we store were gifts that we can't get ourselves to admit we never liked, or garage sale deals that we keep thinking we'll use someday. Last, but certainly not least, we have precious memories piled on precious memories, in shoesboxes, small bins, and even cardboard boxes.
Can I be honest? That IS a lot of stuff: but I think what we have, as a culture, the most of, is fear. I think that we're afraid to let go of the stuff we don't need, aren't using, don't truly have the space for, or haven't looked at because what if we might need it someday?
In other words: What if God doesn't provide?
Like I said, a little heavy handed.
Yet there is an element of truth to it. As Americans, we've been blessed with more than enough. In our own lives, we know that God has always provided, that He watches over us and guards us. Have we returned that favor? Have we acted in His stead towards others?
There is some prudence in keeping what we think we will use or need. But is there an alternative to holding onto all the extra stuff? Could we create a picture album of our children's old art work instead of letting their cardboard projects rot in the basement? Could we acknowledge that our kids maybe don't need a closet FULL of clothes? (The extra bonus to that is less laundry!) Maybe we could finally admit that holding onto our old wedding gown isn't the treasure we thought it would be, and we could give it to a grieving parent instead.
When we seek the alternatives, when we live like God will take care of all our needs—when we give what we have to others—we find that we're living in peace. When we love what we have, use what we've been given, and not worry about the rest, we've found freedom from "stuff" and are able to act as God's hand to the poor around us.
We also, I'll add, leave behind a beautiful legacy for our children. Sure, they won't have an attic of old stuff, but they will have a tradition of generosity: of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and giving without counting the cost.

"That terrorism in this community must and shall cease.
"That all public assemblies of the I.W.W. as well as all other meetings where treasonable, incendiary or threatening, speeches are made, shall be suppressed.
"That we hold the I.W.W. to be a public enemy of the United States.
"That we absolutely oppose any mediation between the I.W.W. and the mine owners of this district.
"That, after the settlement of the strike we are opposed to the employment of any I.W.W. in this district.

Love is Friendship???
I have grown-up watching movies like My Best Friend's Wedding, When Harry Met Sally, Maine Pyaar Kiya, kuch Kuch hota hai -where best friends, who have known each other for years fall in love.
No matter how much i love watching Julia Roberts fighting for her love or Monica & Chandler getting married with each other, i can never imagine this happening or at least not with me
I never knew what is Love, but i was sure that Love is not Friendship, that Love and Friendship are two different things up until i met M, i wont say that he is my best friend but yes i share almost everything with him, Does that mean Love is Friendship???
Of all the existing relations Friendship is the only relation created by us with someone like us or someone unlike us, there is no logic, no methodology to befriend somebody, it just happens and we rarely remember the initial conversations,
Love on the other hand makes us wise and adaptable,
the only relation where one is always ready to yield, where following is more valuable than leading
where one does not undergo sufferings all alone.....
I can never resolve whether Love is Friendship, but one thing is inevitable,
Love has a trace of Friendship and Friendship has a shade of Love

ONAWA — It was a typical game night in small-town Oklahoma, complete with grade-school boys on the sideline mimicking their Friday night idols.
But the way these boys played was anything but typical. They took turns carrying the ball, but in a unique way.
One boy tucked the ball into his chest with one arm and put the other behind his back.
"Now it's my turn to be Stephen," he said.
The Konawa coach's wife witnessed the small, yet powerful, tribute to Stephen Cully, the Tigers' fullback and linebacker who has a disability some might think would rule out sports entirely.
"Stephen doesn't even know the impact he has had on these kids," Tammy Daniel said, echoing a sentiment heard all around the small town about 20 miles from Ada.
On this, the first Friday night of the high school football season, two different sets of dreamers will play out their fantasies side by side before crowds across the state.
On the field, teenagers live out their dreams of glory by scoring touchdowns and making tackles.
And on the sideline, young boys pretend to be their heroes, dreaming of one day putting on those school colors.
It was here that Tammy Daniel saw the impact that one remarkable young man has had on his community.
"Being" Stephen Cully goes well beyond the football field. And if those children grow up to be like him, they will know that life isn't about the cards you're dealt, but how you play the hand.
Stephen Cully was born without his right arm fully developed. It extends slightly past his elbow, but there is no right hand.
Mike, Stephen's father, said the family has never been given an official diagnosis, but that his research has led him to believe that Stephen's condition is Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS).
The precise cause of ABS is unknown, according to WebMD.com.
"That's what it looks like to me, because it describes perfectly the way his arm looks," Mike Cully said. "If you look at it, it looks like he's got a little hand there but it's not fully developed."
But Stephen came to love sports the same way many young boys do — out of adulation toward his older brother.
"He beat me up a lot," Stephen said with a laugh. "He told me to quit crying, to get up.
"I owe a lot to him. He made me tough, really."
But Chris Cully, four years older than Stephen, taught his brother an even more important life lesson, even if it was unintentional.
Playing sports with Chris and other older relatives forced Stephen to develop his own methods to accomplish the same feats they did.
To swing a baseball bat, for example, Stephen grips it with his left hand, presses his right arm against the handle and uses his upper-body strength to forcefully swing.
And yes, he can hit home runs that way.
This ability to find unique methods to complete normal tasks explains how he does all the same exercises his teammates do in the weight room — including bench pressing.
With a spotter — and equal weight — on each side of the bar, Stephen lays down on the bench. He grips with his left hand, balances his right nub on the bar and gets to work.
The spotters help him lift the weight off the rack, but after that Stephen is on his own. He recently maxed out on the bench at 250 pounds.
But it's also the little, everyday things that impress his teammates.
"Just watching him get dressed," junior running back Alex Yellowfish said. "Sometimes it's hard for me to put my socks and my football pants on. But he just does it on his own."
Stephen Cully first played organized football in the fifth grade, when his dad signed him up for flag football in Ada. The next year, he played his first season of tackle football in middle school.
Cully played for Ada schools through his sophomore year in high school.
Opposing players and teammates sometimes took it easy on Stephen early in his playing career.
"My junior high years," Stephen said, "I just kept going hard and kept telling them, 'Don't go easy on me.' Eventually they knew. They found out not to go easy on me."
Mike said: "They ended up figuring out that's a bad idea."
But people taking it easy on him were the least of Stephen's problems.
Mike and Stephen won't name names or get too specific about it, but they feel like Stephen didn't always get a fair shake at playing time from some coaches.
"It was a little bit difficult to watch, but there wasn't a whole lot I could do," Mike said. "And there wasn't a whole lot he could do.
"It was more their actions; some of the things they did made it more difficult for him to win the position, made it more difficult for him to get on the field."
After Stephen's sophomore year at Ada, the family moved to Byng, which doesn't have a football team. He spent his junior year there, and then the family moved to Konawa, Mike's hometown.
Living in Konawa made an easier daily drive for Mike, who was working in Seminole. But that wasn't the only reason for the move.
"It was a little bit for work, but also it was for him, wanting to have a little more playing time," Mike said.
When the family got to Konawa, and the school reviewed his records, they determined that he needed to repeat his junior year.
It was around that time that Mike and Stephen went to visit football coach Brent Daniel.
"The first thing he said to me when he got here was, 'Coach, I just want a chance to play football,'" Daniel said. "I told him, 'Stephen, you'll get your chance, but you will earn your position like everyone else.'
"That first week, he started earning his position. And he earned it and has been a starter ever since."
Stephen Cully's teammates will admit their skepticism when they first met him.
"My first impression was, 'Man, this guy is going to come out and give 100 percent,' but you still have to look at his difficulty," said Hiawatha Honsinger, a sophomore slot. "But he came out and showed me and everybody else that he can do just as much if not more than everybody on the field."
Cully won over his teammates quickly, and then won starting positions at both fullback and linebacker.
But doubt from outsiders remained, and his teammates have overheard offensive comments from opponents.
Yellowfish remembers one game last season when he heard opposing players making fun of his friend.
"I can't remember who we were playing," Yellowfish said. "They were saying, 'Hey, they've got a one-armed fullback, so they're gonna be easy this year.'"
The Tigers lost the game, but Cully rushed for over 100 yards.
He led the 2010 Tigers in tackles, and also rushed for over 600 yards.
Stephen Cully doesn't see himself as being any different.
"I just go out there and do what I have to do," Stephen said. "I really don't see it like this. It's just normal."
Sometimes the stares from people in public get irritating — especially when they it comes from adults — but Stephen takes it in stride.
"If a little kid stares, it doesn't bother him," Mike said. "In fact, a lot of times he'll go up to them and let them feel it, and then they're good."
On the practice field, Stephen is a quiet, unassuming leader. No plays are taken off.
When he stands with his teammates during a water break, he sometimes drapes a towel over his nub or hangs his helmet on it, making it completely unnoticeable.
His teammates and his coach, though, see the impact his perseverance has had all around them.
"He's a little humble, but his teammates are inspired by Stephen and what he does," Brent Daniel said.
"It doesn't matter if it's shooting a basketball, hitting a home run, catching the football, returning a kickoff or playing middle linebacker, he just goes out and does it. He inspires all of them."
That inspiration applies to the Konawa community as a whole, which brings us back to those little boys paying homage to Stephen.
Stephen Cully has persevered through toil that would cause many to give up — or never try in the first place — Konawa superintendent Joe Sharber said.
"He gets out and does everything that the other boys do," Sharber said.

Dom & Roland - Trauma (Renegade Hardware, 1998)
Dom Angas is an artist who has sampled films extensively in his music, from dialogue samples to the music and atmospherics. Back in March 1997 Dom told DJ Magazine:
"I'm very into the soundscapes used in films, very into the way moods are created with music and the way it takes you... I'm fascinated by that and like to think that I translate that into the drum and bass format"
This influence couldn't be more clear than on 'Trauma' which came out on Renegade Hardware the following year. It samples some sweeping, portentous strings from Alien: Resurrection, placing them over thumping, mechanical beats and sci-fi sound effects during the intro before an incredibly dirty, muscular bassline is dropped, occasionally accompanied by what sounds like a car alarm going off and other strange noises. This is cinematic music that conjures up images of a dystopian future where machines have taken over and encapsulates what Dom was trying to achieve with his productions at this time.
'Trauma' is available to purchase digitally directly from the Renegade Hardware store. It's included in Pearsall's Renegades mix, a selection of his favourites from the first twenty or so releases from the label:

Currently in pre-production on "Hellboy 2" in Budapest, director Guillermo Del Toro spoke with The Age about some of his plans for the tone of the sequel.
First up it deals with the aftermath of romantic fulfilment. "It's about the first year of marriage," but it's also about "a deadly war between humans and magical creatures", in which the title character has a major dilemma: which side is he actually on.
Because he penned it whilst filming "Pan's Labyrinth," Del Toro says their might have bee some crossover between the two films when he handed the first draft over to comic creator Mike Mignola – "Mike was quite horrified by how much I had deviated from what we had talked about, especially at some of the quote, unquote whimsical elements, the parts about magic and the fairy world. But then fortunately, he saw Pan's Labyrinth and he realised that the two movies would have some parallels".
Finally he cites Henry James story "The Friends of the Friends" as a tale that he loves, "a short story that to this day is one of the most beautiful ghost stories that I have ever read. But it is rarely acknowledged and you don't find it in his anthologies" says Del Toro. A future adaptation maybe?

The StarDome replicates the "skylight" featured on the bridge of the enterprise; and it happens to be one of Sekulow's and his children's favorites.
The Latest In Billionaire Home Décor
Lisa Isaacson | Numinus
The Latest In
August 16th, 2007 VH1 begins airing the episode of their hit series, The Fabulous Life, titled "The Most Insane Real Estate On The Planet". This episode showcased homes in the 50 to 137 million dollar range. These estate owners showcased their bling from 100 ft. long pools, 103 room homes, tennis courts, and bowling alleys, to private beach fronts, and fabulous home décor. In April 2007 Numinus LLC, developers of the StarDome, were delighted to receive a phone call from the show's producer, Allison Mouledoux, interested in featuring their product in this upcoming episode. VH1 went on-site to film two StarDome installations in Atlanta, Georgia. The film crew followed Numinus to cover two of their StarDome installations, 'The Star Trek StarDome' and 'The Grand Entry StarDome'.
The Star Trek StarDome is a focal piece in the home theater of accountant, Gary Sekulow. Gary, and his wife Kim, attended the Star Trek Memorabilia Auction at Christies in New York. After acquiring some of the most recognizable props from each Star Trek season, the props were implemented into Gary's home theater under the astute eye of designer Dennis Erskine of Design Cinema Privėe. VH1 producers interviewed both Lisa Isaacson from Numinus, LLC and theater owner Gary Sekulow for this upcoming episode.
The Star Trek Home Theatre is an exceptionally realistic replica with 14 different lighting zones including "Red Alert," and its host of original Star Trek props. One of the favorite pieces in this themed theatre is most definitely the StarDome. Equipped with a hand painted sky mural, a sleek black drop-down-molding, and a dazzling shooting star; this piece truly brings the essence of traveling through outer space in Star Trek "Enterprise".
Over the three days of bidding, Gary Sekulow's project became very interesting to the guests and Star Trek enthusiasts. They were thrilled that Sekulow was going to keep the props together in his home theatre. Sekulow's had won some of the most recognizable props like the Phaser Locker, Tricorder and Communicator, Captain Archer commander chair, the Ops and Conn consoles, and the wall panels from TNG. The StarDome replicates the "skylight" featured on the bridge of the enterprise; and it happens to be one of Sekulow's and his children's favorites. He points out that "this is the wow factor and the cool factor of the theatre", during the taping of VH1's "The Fabulous Life".
Co-founder of Numinus LLC, and co-designer of the Star Trek StarDome, Lisa Isaacson, was working side by side with VH1's producers for this special episode of The Fabulous Life. She describes her experience working with VH1 as extremely fun and gratifying. She was delighted to work with world renowned designer, Dennis Erskine, on the truly fabulous home theatre.

Yes, it's been a while. My new life has swept me in, in the craziest and most wonderful of ways because yes, I love being a teacher, and it is a job that demands your all and then some.
Still, I wanted to take a quick minute to wish you all a happy 2016.
The year 2015 has been that turning point year I have been wishing for. It was the year of an important ending, as I graduated with that dream MFA degree. And it was the year of a huge beginning, as I embarked on a brand new dream job and career.
In my ever-evolving and exciting life, I have moved around in every way; I have started and ended many things: friendships, manuscripts and yes, jobs and careers. Now though I find myself in a different place.
I declare this year 2016 to be the year of continuing.
My top wish/goal/hope and resolution for 2016 is to continue strong and stronger on the teaching journey I have begun, to become a true and real professional in every way and to bring my students toward real, life-changing gains.
My other resolutions:
to continue to honor every part of what it means to be human, which includes keeping my body in shape and taking joy in my family;
to continue the new novel I started this summer;
to continue this blog, even if that means incredibly patchy and sporadic postings;
to continue to be honestly, messily, goofily, unabashedly myself.
Endings are bitter-sweet; beginnings are exciting. But continuation is what allows us the time, the space and the strength to make great things happen. So, here is to a great new year of…continuing!
Love and best wishes to all,

Last Friday night, Tina Brown held a cocktail party in her Sutton Place apartment for Emilie Brzezinski, an 82-year-old artist from Switzerland who carves monumental wooden sculpture using chain saws and chisels.
It was the type of reception usually reserved for A-list filmmakers or novelists. Ms. Brzezinski, on the other hand, lives in Washington and is not well known in New York's art circles, but her daughter, Mika Brzezinski, is a host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," on which Ms. Brown is a frequent guest.
So when Ms. Brown heard that Emilie had a coffee-table book coming out, "The Lure of the Forest," she happily opened up her home.
Mika, 47, spent much of the party bantering — not with her co-host, Joe Scarborough, but her mother. "Ivanka Trump at T. J. Maxx," Mika said, poking fun at her mom's white-belted trench coat, which she had paired with black knee-high boots.
Emilie shrugged, "I get all my clothes there, except an exceptional piece which I would buy abroad." She has a heavy accent and talks like a woman who takes herself seriously and sees everyone else as slightly ridiculous.
They sparred on everything from Mika's terrible studying habits as a child ("She was impossible," Emilie said of her daughter) to why Mom now wears hearing aids. "I was born deaf," Emilie said.
"No, you blasted your ears with a chain saw," Mika snapped back.
Guests approached to express their respect and congratulate Emilie on her new book, as well as a coming retrospective at the Kreeger Museum in Washington. "I descended from artists and I loved seeing your work," said Ronan Farrow, the young MSNBC host.
The novelist Holly Peterson asked Emilie whether she works with water, light or other materials from nature. "No, not really," she replied. "It's basically with wood."
A few feet away, Emilie's husband, Zbigniew Brzezinski, 86, the former national security adviser to Jimmy Carter, regaled guests with off-color stories about the current state of counterterrorism.
"I am so annoyed by the fear-mongering," he said. "Sign this, sign that. So now I sign things 'Osama Bin Laden.' And I haven't been stopped once. Doesn't that tell you something about the idiocy of the whole system?"
The crowd was mainly media types connected in one way or another to Ms. Brown and Mika, among them Ms. Brown's husband, Harold Evans; the TiVo chief executive Tom Rogers, and The Daily Beast editor at large Lloyd Grove.
At one point, Emilie approached Roger Phelps, the promotional communications manager for Stihl, her chain saw manufacturer of choice. "We're sponsoring Emilie's exhibition," Mr. Phelps said. "She's been using our chain saws since the beginning."
Around 7 p.m., Ms. Brown stood in the back of her living room, where copies of Emilie's books were stacked on drink tables, and gave a clink of her glass to initiate the toast. Ms. Brown referring to the guest of honor as a "great artist and great woman," causing one attendee, the art historian Barbara Rose, to scream out "and a great friend."
Soon after, Mika came up and talked about how much she admired her mother, and how nice it was to be able to help her out, after being the family's resident problem child. "I was the hardest one to raise," she said.
After a brief question-and-answer conducted by her husband, Emilie moved to a corner of the room and began discussing a sculpture she's planning called "Ukraine Trunk." As Ms. Brzezinksi described it, the sculpture is a hollowed-out trunk and inside is an image of a group of people from the area. "Not a single one is smiling," she said. "All of them are grim."
Moments later, Mika returned and announced that it was time to go home. "I'm taking her back to Bronxville so she can assess my sculpture and tell me it's in the wrong place," Mika said.

I am looking forward to your visit to Dallas. I read your book after someone gave a copy to my 13 year old daughter. I'm not sure she was the target audience age-wise, but I certainly found it a great read and have recommended it to my friends.

YOUR Life, Death, and Health - FIX IT!!
Live Stronger and Longer With The The Route of Best Shortcuts
That we are so astonishingly stupid as to allow a surgeon to keep up to a quarter million dollars of cash for a surgery that killed the patient is astonishing. Perhaps time and public disgust will change this. That's a responsibility you'll either accept, or not. If we cannot sway you into speaking up, we can at least apply these same facts to your instant benefit of health and wealth
In the meantime, the smartest possible course is to avoid having to go to the doctor in the first place. However hard it is for you to accept it, fact is fact, numbers don't lie:
Outside of traumatic injuries and so-called accidents -- (in point of fact there IS no such thing as an accident; only the results of bad decisions, including not paying attention to what's happening around us) -- outside of the treatment of traumatic wounds involving blood loss or bloodless head injuries, doctors, statistically, and too empirically kill and hurt far, FAR more people than they benefit. Please do not confuse this as an opinion: doctors have been killing people since long before they believed in bleeding and purging, a practice which only ended after nearly two thousand years of being a basic part of a physician's purported 'healing' methods.
The proof that it's unnecessary is that so many of them die within days, weeks, or months.
"Pfui!! If financial wealth is what you want, sell something for a living, or write great songs, or paint ten thousand houses: medicine used to be and once again needs to be reserved exclusively for those who wish to serve others more than they wish to serve their personal appetites."Driving an eighty thousand dollar car to impress your neighbors instead of an equally safe $10,000 car, while investing the other $70,000 saving the lives of starving people?
Speaks for itself, doesn't it? (Don't neglect to include in such computations the additional insurance, vanity plates, and aggravation over scratched paint, or the cost of thousands of expensive cars being stolen every week).
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see the immutable and eternally unchanging logic of this.
When you find foods that you really like, for example, that just HAPPEN to promote good health while simultaneously repairing some of the damage we do to our bodies, we are instantly killing three birds with one stone:
Do you understand that red foods that come out of the ground, from watermelon or tomatoes to cantaloupe or carrots, instantaneously
All these benefits, and a dozen or more others, all from eating red foods. You think you're intelligent? Please, don't tell us; show us. What you do speaks so loudly you need not flap your gums at us. We already know who and what you are. You have proved it in these past 24 hours, and you're proving it in these current 24 hours, and you will add even more to the proof in the next 24 hours, and the next, won't you?
In fact, you ate just a few hours ago, and you'll be eating again in the next few hours. What are you going to eat? Far more importantly than what it shows the world, even more importantly than how your diet will end up impacting others, the simple fact is, your next meal will tell YOU plenty about yourself, where you're going, and how much time you probably have left in this world.
Yes, folks, science is that far advanced over previous centuries to the point that we can even estimate within a matter of months the date of your likely departure from this life based in no small measure upon what your very next meal is. We already know that you possess the gift of logic; what remains for us to see today is whether you possess the more critical gift of using that gift of logic.
In the long-running argument/debate/feud that has existed between those who subscribe to the Asklepian view (doctors, who try to fix things from the outside in), and Hygeans, who believe in strengthening the body's naturally present resources to successfully defeat any challenges to the body, there is a huge gap. Huge as in unbridgeable. Even as professors of medicine, including an unusually effective Surgeon General, Dr. C. Everett Koop;, or Dr. Andrew Weil, and so many other highly-qualified practicioners, move us all closer to the Hygean approach, too many more argue on behalf of externally-produced chemical and pharmacologic approaches to disease. They make more money. That should be the end of the story.
In every walk of our oldest civilizations, particularly the Oriental, natural and herbal approaches persistently and consistently outperform chemical approaches. I realize you think this is great stuff, & applies to most people, but not you. Well, we have news for you. What you do speaks so loudly we cant hear a word youre saying. You can come away from this document pleased to have created a few better thoughts, or you can make it your business to read it again and then write down on a piece of paper three, four, perhaps five of the points most pertinent for you to remember towards acting upon.

ANYTHING that may be bothering you
is something you can learn more about... quickly, and naturally.

Top 5 Friday
Hi there and welcome to the Top 5 Friday, its been a while since I did this type of post but today I thought I crack one out. The last couple of weeks have been absolutely awesome, if memory serves me right this is the best start to the year I have had in a long time and I am so thankful. As always I will list 5 items I have been itching to talk about or want to share this week so without further adieu.
50 Shades of Grey
~ I think it's about time I shared with y'all my view of 50 shades of grey especially with the movie having come out already. Before I read the 3 books I had heard so many stories about how erotic it was and basically a porn book. I was both intrigued and confused because no one person who read the books could give you a straight answer everyone had their own interpretation. So I embarked on the journey that is 50 shades of grey and I was quite taken in by the first book until someone told me there were two more books to go, I was excited to see what more the author can add in and hoping the grammar and spelling will improve in book two and three. To my disappointment it did not felt like it was getting worse. Book one told you a story of two people in love and each with different life issues. Yes there was a lot of sex descriptions which your mamma should not catch you reading but compared to the French erotica books I had read that was nothing. I love Ana and could relate to how she felt in some parts of the book and Christian was overall your kind of guy 'good in bed' but the mummy issues he came with he can keep thank you. Books 2 and 3 well I remember the violence and the escape from death for Christian other than that not much. If someone ever wanted to read the books I would encourage them to read the epilogue in book three then read the books from the beginning, as its the only part of the book not completely filled with grammatical errors and actually is from Christian's point of view.
- This movie was fun from start to finish, a friend of mine and I went to see it this week and we were definitely not disappointed. It definitely gave James Bond and Jason Bourne a run for their money. I loved the London chav humour, the posh-'toots' added in for good measure and Colin Firth (forever my Mr Darcy) was absolutely on point throughout the movie, his character was well played, so easy to like and absolutely loved the suits. There is nothing like a well tailored English gentleman suit, I am sure they are many to dispute this but that was my opinion. I think everyone should go watch this movie.
- This week has been full of rewards both blogging and work which has been absolutely uplifting and very encouraging, I am literally on the excitement high and I do not want to come back down. I will share more next week this week I just want to be selfish and enjoy it myself.
Hemingway Quote
~ During the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service, Colin Firth's character quoted Hemingway, I had never heard of the quote before but it stuck and now me and my friend are quoting it every time we remember which for me now is daily
- For me the most important thing in my life is family above all else, I have committed my family to God and I am eternally grateful for the everyday blessings we receive, just being alive is a blessing enough. The air we breath is a blessing we do not see it but we know its there and we utilise it, same with God we do not see him directly but we know he's there and we feel his presence be it in out friends, neighbours or even just ourselves.
These are my Top 5 Friday, what do you have on your list? Have a blessed weekend.

It was a very quick game with a little over 100 points on each side. Basically enough for me to see how the game works without needing to get into too many details. Enough that I can now grab the rulebook and try to get my head around the finer points of Tactics.
I learnt a few important points - it is fast, and it is very deadly! Just like Warmachine you need to have an understanding of what is facing up against you as a game can quickly turn against you if you let a Flamethrower get a shot off on your walker. The final result was a very marginal win to me, although I think Andrew might have been going soft on the newbie.
Based on what I have seen of the models and a brief chat with Paolo when he was in NZ earlier this year I am definitely excited about having a few more games and then checking out the Warfare rules. I am sure a couple of Pounders would look good in the same 1967 camo as my Flames Of War Israeli tanks!

Last week I got an email from my group of girls saying that they are doing a Circus theme for this years Halloween festivities and luckily I can make a late/early purchase work. You see I got this on sale on sale last December...and though the costume is called Gypsy I'm going for Fortune Teller...they have both at the Circus really!
I also picked up this Pirate costume...what can I say...I love Halloween and dressing up! Besides, what if I have more than one party to attend?
So both costumes come from www.torrid.com and even though they're from last year doesn't mean you have to completely miss out.

This short story isn't about young boxers in the squared circle, it's about the Gold Glove Award ceremony to be held Friday, November 13th in New York City, honoring Major League Baseball's best defenders for the year 2015. Gold Gloves are voted on by the coaches and managers of both the American and National League, and given to those they believe to be the best defensive fielders at each position.
They are given to guys that sling the leather, fly through the air with the greatest of ease, make the Sports Center Top 10 List for the day, week or month. Those who can "pick it", gobble up those bad hops on the throws to first, the guys who take the crow hop in the outfield as they make the catch, then send a laser beam one-hopper to the catcher to tag out the runner as he tries to advance or score.
In my humble regard I still have some issues with outfielders catching the ball one-handed on the wrong side of their body on the sac fly. Nevertheless, they still excel at their craft. So once again I've agreed to be one of the presenters at this year's Rawlings Gold Glove Awards at the Plaza Hotel.
As the Adviser to the Executive Director of the Players Association, this gives me another reason to remain close to our members, and it's always good to do so around an honor and recognition like this. This year you can expect to see some new faces as well as some return members to the club. If you've never seen a Gold Glove up close I'll show you a couple of mine in my library.
So, my best to the group of guys who'll win this year, as they will have done yeoman work. The Gold Glove one of those awards they want to be remembered for when their playing days are over, it shows you could play both sides of the game.

Sabor De CUBA
Astoria is sizzling with this Sabor de Cuba, an absolutely charming, festive restaurant featuring a modern fusion of Cuban and Caribbean flavors, accented by a sexy interior and fabulous drinks. Cuban cuisine is unique in the Caribbean, combining Spanish, African, and Caribbean flavors with the special spices and preparation that keep you wanting more. Owners Sandra and Willy welcome guests of all ages to their establishment, open seven days a week for lunch, dinner, and a "Boozy Brunch" on Sundays from 12-5pm.
I enjoyed my first visit to Sabor de Cuba so much, that I returned three nights later with three friends and had a fiesta along with several other families celebrating birthdays and graduations. The staff is friendly and efficient and Chef Carlos works his magic in the kitchen, preparing delectable dishes all printed on clever menus that are presented inside authentic Cuban cigar boxes. Sit back and enjoy a refreshing Mojito, a pitcher of fresh sangria (red or white), or something they coined a Sanjito, which is a delicious mix of sangria and passion fruit mojito.
We started with some tapas that are big enough to share and beautifully presented. The Cubanito is a mini Cuban sandwich filled with roasted pork, ham, cheese and pickle that can be shared by two ($11). Mofongitos de Mariel are made with mashed plantains that house an adobo-infused mix of seafood including shrimp, calamari, and baby squid ($14). One of the most unique surprises was the Arepa con cola, composed of a mini corn cake base, topped with slow-cooked oxtail and a dainty fried quail egg for a combination of tastes and textures I guarantee you've never had before. House made empanadas are filled with either beef, chicken, or vegetables and mild spices so you'll definitely want to order a sampling of those. By the way, you can enjoy these savory tapas at the inviting bar or at your table.
Next, the dinner entrees include traditional Cuban fare, such as Chef Carlos' exemplary Ropa Vieja, which literally means 'old clothes' and consists of slow-cooked, pulled beef, green olives, and mild spices that make this dish so unique and delicious. It is served in a cast iron skillet along with a generous helping of black beans and rice that I took home for lunch the next day ($16.95). My beau's pork chop was a caveman-sized affair, brined and marinated for two days, rendering the meat so tender, it simply pulled away from the bone with a tug of his fork. My friend had never seen such a big, meaty chicken, cooked into the classic Arroz con Pollo, which he devoured con gusto. Grilled skirt steak is another popular meat item on the menu, as is the roasted pork pernil sandwich.
Sabor de Cuba does an outstanding job with fresh fish and seafood. Camarones al ajillo are jumbo shrimp cooked in a fragrant garlic sauce scented with cilantro and served with decadently delicious fried plantains. The Pescado Cubano is perfectly cooked Mahi Mahi over sweet, creamy coconut rice with passionfruit sauce and plantains which was so flavorful and beautifully executed ($20.95). Fresh, grilled salmon is served with cassava puree and asparagus in roasted red pepper sauce for a bold combination of flavors and colors. Order an avocado salad to share along with a bottle of red or white wine from their well-chosen, reasonably priced wine list.
Everything at Sabor de Cuba is made from scratch, including the tempting desserts. Perhaps the most popular is the tres leches cake made with three types of milk, as the name suggests, drizzled with homemade caramel sauce. Castro de chocolate is a kind of moussey lava cake and the bread pudding is topped with Brandy anglaise sauce. Do I have to mention how good the coffee is? The classic cortadito is rich and robust and will keep you going long after your meal.
Friday nights are great nights to visit when live music fills the air. Sunday's "Boozy Brunch" runs from noon until 5pm and for $27.95 you'll choose among Cuban omelets with bacon, ham, and Swiss cheese, Sabor de Cuba's version of eggs Benedict with corn bread, eggs, and pernil, and seafood frittata with shrimp, calamari, and avocado, to name a few. Unlimited Mimosas, Bellinis, or Sangria are included in the price with a 1-5-hour limit.
For a high quality meal and great cocktails and wine in a very chic and festive environment, visit Sabor de Cuba for modern Cuban fusion cuisine that sizzles with flavor and sass.

Ever got writer's block when devising a poem or song lyrics?
Tried paperback thesauruses and websites to find just the right words to express yourself?
A new software claims to produce results 20x as fast as what is generally out there.
"As a musician, poet and freelance writer I developed this tool when I was doing some paid work as a ghostwriter. I've used Brainstorm Pro to produce poems that clients found outstanding, in a really short amount of time" say Jesse Gilbert, the creator of the software.
Using Brainstorm Pro a songwriter can just enter 5 or 10 words that they want to write about, then get lists of words to choose from and find the rhyming words…all in record time.
The program more targeted towards the aspiring urban songwriter than established musicians who can pay thousands to have hit songs written for them.
Brainstorm Pro is desktop based so much of the slow load time for websites is reduced and allows the composer to work offline where there may not be an internet connection.
"We've had a few songwriters try it out and say they knew something like this had to be out there and they were finally seeing it. It's like magic for wordsmiths."
To learn more about this software, see demonstations and download a free try version, check out http://www.brainstormpro.com

Aw! You'll love how Vanessa Lachey surprised her husband with news of their third child's gender.
Nick Lachey and Vanessa Lachey shared an adorable post revealing that they're expecting their third child—but the couple just upped the ante with their insanely cute gender reveal. We'll hand the credit to Vanessa, who didn't just reveal her baby's gender to her social media followers, but also to her husband himself—she opted to surprise Nick with the news by decorating the couple's home with blue balloons. That's right: The Lacheys will welcome a baby boy!
Nick and Vanessa are already parents to four-year-old son Camden and one-year-old daughter Brooklyn—maybe their third child will share a name with a geographical location as well!
Vanessa shared a short video of the gender reveal on her Instagram page and we love everything about it. "When Daddy came home from tour this summer and we were moving into our new house I shared the news!" Vanessa wrote alongside the video, which she shared on Thanksgiving.
View this post on Instagram
I have so much to be Thankful for this year... especially our littlest Lachey. When Daddy came home from tour this Summer and we were moving into our new house I shared the news!👶🏼💙 Now I'm sharing it with you! I am so very Thankful and Grateful for this family of mine! And Thankful for YOU! All your Love & support makes what we do FUN and worth it! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Love, V 😘
While most couples tend to learn their baby's gender together, we're into the idea of a pregnant woman surprising her partner with the big news—especially since Nick's touring schedule may have made it difficult to attend her ultrasound appointment.
Did you reveal your baby's gender to your partner?

The Secrets of Marketing to Seniors
As the Baby Boomer generation grows older, the senior age group has become the largest in the US in terms of size and percent of the population. With that share of the market comes great buying power. In fact, today 77% of the country's wealth is controlled by senior citizens. They're living longer and becoming more active. That's why, now more than ever, understanding how and why they buy is critical to any company hoping to maximize their marketing efforts.
