Last Mother's Day, my 4 1/2-year-old daughter came home from church with a fun questionnaire she had filled out about me. I'd seen these before and I was intrigued and excited to read her answers. Most of the questions were geared toward my favorite things and, as I was reading the answers, I noticed a common theme: All of "my" favorite things were actually her favorite things.
My favorite place to eat : Chick-Fil-A.
Wrong. Her favorite place.
My favorite show to watch: "Masha and Bear."
Wrong again. Her favorite show.
Now I realize this isn't something monumental—kids can be pretty self-involved—but I was curious: If the same questions were asked about my husband, would she would answer the same way? Luckily, that chance came around that Father's Day. When I browsed through her answers to his questions, she got ALL of them right on the money.
Favorite sport to watch: Football.
Ding, ding, ding!
Favorite thing to eat: Doughnuts.
Right again. And the streak went on!
This was an eye-opening moment for me. Before I was a mom, I used to have all sorts of hobbies and interests, but after motherhood, I slowly let most of my interests go—and it's clear my daughter had unknowingly picked up on that. And I know it's not just me. So many moms give up their sense of self in the chaos of raising young kids, until one day you wake up, read a questionnaire your child filled out and realize you no longer have an identity outside of mothering.
I decided it was something I wanted to change. Needed to change.
So, I started making changes to incorporate things for myself. I mean just me—no one else. The result was mind-blowing. I immediately recognized that I felt happier and more balanced. And it makes total sense.
Allowing myself to have a hobby shook things up—in a good way.
As a mom, it's crazy hard to not get consumed by all of the feedings, cleanings and emotional breakdowns that inevitably happen with kids. Allowing myself to have a hobby shook things up—in a good way. Now, instead of dreading how long the day already seems to stretch on with chores and kid management, it's given me something extra to look forward to. And when I'm finished with my weekly tennis class, reading or whatever it may be, I feel refreshed and ready to be with my kids again.
A happier mom means a happier family, so it's a win-win.
Maintaining my identity outside of motherhood also sets a great example for my children. Showing my kids that I have interests, needs and goals (besides playing Barbies all day) is an invaluable lesson. Of course, my children need me most of all, but to have them see me set a goal and reach it is something I hope they'll emulate for the rest of their life. Plus, from what I've experienced, they've been my number-one fans when that goal is met.
So, if you're a mom feeling stuck in a rut, always cranky or just plain blah, I urge you to find something to do just for you. It doesn't have to be a big expensive new hobby or anything super complicated, just find something that interests you and go for it!
I now feel more patient with my kids and husband, and I'm more positive and relaxed about stressful situations. Overall, I truly feel like a more enjoyable person to be around.
Moms sacrifice so much when they have children and our identity shouldn't have to be one of them.

I believe in love. I believe love can make us braver than we ever thought, bring us to new places & open us up to new experiences, and I believe that it changes and grows over time. I believe that love has many different emotions, from joyful & fun to simple & quiet. Marriage to us means learning and growing together, unconditional love, living life to the fullest, and endless adventure & possibilities. And love & marriage looks different for each couple.
When it comes to photography and love and you, these things that are different and sometimes called imperfections-- oh, that's the good stuff. They're real & beautiful and should be honored & expressed. An image well made brings focus, meaning, connection to what it portrays and a lasting memory for generations to come.
simply in love.
The most meaningful photos are not always the most impressive and the most impressive images are not always meaningful.
it's about connection.
I believe in offering realistic wedding day coverage because it is true that the day passes by quicker than you think. Let's make sure that we capture those candid moments by allowing time for them to happen naturally.
let's be real.
I want to create images that make you feel, to capture the love that exists between you-- photos that are honest & intimate. In my portfolio, you won't find any styled shoots, just real couples and real weddings.
trust in your photographer.
Leave the worrying for another day and embrace this day. It all leads up to this. It is my honor to capture these special days and create something beautiful for you to remember it by.
it's not about the decor.
There is a lot that goes into planning a wedding. While the details are all beautiful, nothing is as important as the people and your relationship.

A rumor afresh alike involving the LinkedIn folio of an AMD abstruse architect that listed the aggregation alive on a GDDR6 anamnesis controller. I accomplished out to some bodies and can affirm that AMD is absolutely alive on the GDDR6 accepted and will be actively application it in approaching cartoon cards. As for the catechism that I am abiding anybody will ask next, no AMD will still be afraid to HBM2 for its aerial end abutting bearing cartoon cards in 2018 (aka Navi).
The aperture originally stemmed from a account of a LinkedIn contour assuming an AMD architect advertisement the GDDR6 anamnesis ambassador technology in his portfolio. This is usually a adequately accessible way of acknowledging a aperture but the contour in catechism was boilerplate to be found. This is why I absitively to ability out to sources accustomed with the amount myself and can affirm that AMD is absolutely alive on GDDR6 anamnesis technology and will be adopting it.
The abutting accessible catechism becomes back and area will we see it used, to that, the alone acknowledgment I got was that AMD will still be afraid with HBM technology in aerial end cartoon cards in 2018. Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix all accept roadmaps that appearance their GPU SKUs rolling out by the end of 2017 or aboriginal 2018. In either case it looks like video agenda manufacturers will accept admission to the abundantly fast anamnesis accepted from Q1 2018. Since appraisement will about absolutely be big-ticket in the alpha and it charcoal to be apparent aloof how it fares in allegory with HBM.
Now AMD has ahead teased that Navi will next-gen HBM memory, so it charcoal to be apparent whether they are talking about HBM2 or the ambiguous HBM3 accepted (which should be still faster than the GDDR6 standard) Edit: they are talking about HBM2. In any case, we do apperceive for abiding the aggregation will be afraid with HBM technology for all its aerial end cartoon cards advertence that either they will not be rolling out any GDDR6 based cards in 2018, or befitting it bound to mid-end or the able ancillary of things.
Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix accept all clearly declared that they will be bearing the fastest and lowest-power DRAM for abutting bearing products. Samsung has currently listed a 16Gb GDDR6 DRAM in their portfolio but that can be broadcast aloft in the approaching back assembly hits abounding swing. With a alteration amount of 16Gbps, the DRAM will be able to pump out 64 GB/s bandwidth (per chip). The anamnesis operates at aloof 1.35V.
Samsung 16Gb GDDR6 Anamnesis – The fastest and lowest-power DRAM for abutting generation, graphics-intensive applications. It processes images and video at 16Gbps with 64GB/s abstracts I/O bandwidth, which is agnate to appointment about 12 full-HD DVDs (5GB equivalent) per second. The new DRAM can accomplish at 1.35 volts, alms added advantages over today's cartoon anamnesis that uses 1.5V at alone 8Gbps. via Samsung
Compared to accepted bearing GDDR5 DRAM, we are attractive at both, added bandwidth and alteration speeds (8Gbps vs 16 Gbps) at lower ability burning (1.5V vs 1.35V). The blueprint can calmly be compared to accepted DRAM standards. We apperceive that GDDR5 can ability up to 9 Gbps as NVIDIA launched their GTX 1060 in faster anamnesis variants. That's the applied absolute of area the anamnesis architectonics can go. Then we accept GDDR5X, a aesthetic accomplishing of GDDR5 that is bigger in every aspect.
The GDDR5X anamnesis operates at abundant faster speeds and has about hit 16 Gbps as accepted by Micron themselves. While GDDR5X can hit aforementioned speeds as GDDR6, the closing comes with bigger optimizations and college densities. – and Samsung it claiming it to be an advancement over G5X. We are attractive at speeds of 12-14 Gbps acceptable accepted in the cartoon industry while 16 Gbps will address out in the aerial achievement sector. There's additionally up to 32 Gb body abutment while GDDR5/X max out at 16 Gb.

Conserving Spaces
Why do we need to conserve key ecosystems?
To do that, we need to identify key habitats: the breeding grounds, the areas where juveniles can shelter and grow, the richest feeding grounds, the annual migration routes. We need to understand when they're used. And we need to understand how human activities affect them.
Based on all that information, we can make smart decisions about what areas need protection and what form that protection should take to ensure all species — including humans — have space to thrive.
What WWF is doingSmart planning lies at the heart of our work. It's about managing human activities in a way that respects nature: deciding where and when different activities can take place and at what scale.
In the Beaufort Sea, for instance, we're using science and traditional Inuit knowledge to determine the most valuable ecological and cultural areas. As industrial development expands in this area, the information we're compiling will help decision-makers balance economic opportunity with long-term sustainability.

We're also identifying areas across the Arctic where summer ice is most likely to endure: the Last Ice Areas (link to WWF International) that should be protected to give polar bears, walruses and other ice-dependent species the habitat they need in a warming world.
On the B.C. coast, we're working with researchers and scientists to map marine noise pollution and to merge this data with information about prime cetacean habitat. With this knowledge, and through our work with governments and shipping companies, we can take steps to secure the quiet havens that whales and dolphins need.

Cesc Fabregas maybe plying his trade for local rivals Chelsea, but it seems he still has feelings for Arsenal, at least according to his Twitter account.
The Spaniard showed his support for Arsenal by retweeting a post showing his goal and passionate celebration against Tottenham when the two rivals clashed in 2009.
Fabregas was extremely popular with the Gooners during his eight year spell with the club. But completely tarnished his image after forcing a move to Barcelona in 2011 and his return to England with Chelsea was seen as an act of treason by the Emirates faithful.
That being said though, Arsenal fans were quick to notice and delighted by his actions on Twitter before the big game against Spurs on the weekend.
Cesc staying true to his roots, check out a screenshot of of Fabregas' social media activity below:

Title; Our Dream Island
What? Week long celebration of wishful thinking by artist, Toby Melville-Brown
When? 16th-21st June
Where? It Is What It Is, 22 Gloucester Road, Brighton, BN1 4AQ.
Our Dream Island is a celebration of wishful thinking, organised by Brighton-based Illustrator, Toby Melville-Brown.
The Summer Holiday. Every year we hatch these grand plans to travel to some far-reaching island or cross-off that bucket list activity. The reality; September arrives and we've got nothing to show for our summer but a camping weekend in Wales and a festival at Brighton City Airport. .
In recognition of those holiday plans that never come to fruition, local creative, Toby Melville-Brown, will be illustrating the dream holiday destination, by asking the public; "What one thing would you want on your ideal holiday getaway?" The responses of such conversations will shape his largest and most ambitious artwork to date.
In addition, the event will also include a range of creative ventures including; a holiday souvenir-making workshop with Jessica Melville-Brown, sculpture workshop, mini-gallery, colouring competitions, plenty of guest creatives and almost certainly loads more.
Our Dream Island will be open to the public from 16th-21st June at It Is What It Is, Gloucester Road, Brighton, The City of Brighton and Hove BN1 4AQ.
The event has been made possible by Somewhere To. A lottery funded initiative, designed to provide young entrepreneurs and creatives with a platform for their endeavours.

Well we made it! After 22 days on our own in India with no major issues or permanent trauma we made it back to Delhi and met up with our good friends Ritu, Jay and their two boys Soheil and Akul.
In total contrast to how we'd been traveling, from this point forward we were going to taken care of in 4-star style inside the wonderful framework of a set vacation. We met them in Delhi just a day after we left Varanasi, and we still had images of chalked naked men burning in our brains. It was wonderful to see their familiar faces in the hotel lobby in Delhi. From that point forward we'd have friends with us who speak the language who could take on locals who cut in line, or insist on taking photos with 'the blonde'… thanks Ritu for being Steph's bodyguard!
Starting from Delhi all six of us were set to go on a five-day "golden triangle tour" of Agra and Jaipur where we'd be chauffeured around in a fantastic white minibus with beautiful fake hardwood floors. It was heaven. This would be followed by several nights in Jay's and Ritu's ancestral town in Punjab.
Important for us, this would be the first time we took a road trip with children (Ages 8 & 10): a very good test of parenthood for us, no? Now, do you think we passed? We think we did, but truth be told we were more like an aunt and uncle on the trip so it was an easy test to pass. Also, Soheil and Akul are both very well behaved boys, and quite the interesting conversationalists. Overall it was a ball of joy. The kids were so much fun and many immature laughs were had. Mainly by Steph, of course: she will never grow up!
On the first day we toured Old Delhi and ate like people were chasing us. Food was everywhere and certainly the theme of the next eight days. We ate with reckless abandon as we were now traveling with a former local (Jay, also a chef). Jay knew exactly what to order, and from where. And so we tried everything.
Just counting the desserts alone we had Jalebi (like a syrupy funnel cake – see photo), Gulab Jamun (think of a heavy TimBit soaking in syrup), Ras Malai (so very hard to explain well: texture is that of a thin kitchen sponge and it has a flavor of sweet milk), and lastly Barfi (not what you think) and Chaat (Golgappe, technically…and super-nasty (I mean, it's an acquired taste…)). It was all very yummy, as well as very fattening. The only 'gastro' issue we had the whole time was from some tainted ice cubes we believe a certain restaurant served us. It knocked out half of us but mostly Vince who became very close friends with every loo around the golden triangle.
On day two we headed to Agra to see the magical Taj Mahal. Chalk up another landmark destination for us on this crazy world tour! It was wonderful, so beautiful and big, and pristine, and most definitely the highlight of our trip to India. We just loved it, as did the Parhars.
Day three we ventured to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, and explored its labyrinth palaces, and took both an elephant ride, and a camel ride. At dinner we watched Rajasthani traditional dancing while we ate. What a treat! We even had some time to get our shop on, well only Steph and Ritu did, and as a result everyone got a new set of genie pants.
After two nights in Jaipur and a total of five on the road it was time to wrap up the golden triangle and head back to Delhi for our train to Punjab. We were booked on the famous 'superfast' Shatabadi Express, that would have us arriving in Punjab around 11 p.m. Neither of us have ever been served this much food on any kind of vehicle before. And between the main course and dessert, someone went up and down the aisle with bananas. It was a long day of travel, and was tough on the boys, but after twelve hours of recuperative sleep at Jay's parents house in their village outside of Jalandhar, we woke up with water buffalos, goats and stray dogs all around. We think we may have been the first westerners ever to stay in this village.
It was a very restful three days, and a great experience to be folded into small village life, and see, up close, how it operates and lives. Many Canadians of Indian descent are from Punjab and our stay with Ritu and Jay allowed us a privileged look into their history and motherland. We spent the three days visiting relatives, learning their homemade recipes (yum!), eating our faces off (of course), setting off fireworks (local pastime), and touring (principally we went to see the Sikh Golden Temple in Amritsar). Our driver, Sona was amazing and a ton of fun with his crazy Bungra tunes, and fast driving.
It was a wonderful time, and we felt privileged to be welcomed by Jay's folks and Ritu's relatives over the duration of our stay. These are memories we will cherish for years.
We returned to
Delhi by overnight train from Jalandhar, and boarded a flight later that day
back to Thailand. Our plan is to sit on
a beach and 'detox' from India until April 5, before we head toward Australia and
New Zealand. We are going to take a break from everything for the next two weeks. To keep you amused in the meantime, we have put together a list we like to call "Vince & Steph's India Reflections".
Now we hope we don't sound too "complainy" about India. Just a week after leaving our memories have already begun to soften and we're just laughing at all of the below.
India can be simultaneously wonderful and horrible, and there is simply no place like it. Listen! If you can travel to India, you can travel anywhere.
#1 – Staring – Steph is a total circus attraction in India. If people aren't asking for a photo, they are staring at her. The Indian stare, delivered from either a man or woman, is a true examination. They are curious and want to know more, without asking. And it doesn't matter if you stare back. For fun, one day we put a camera on Steph's shoulder during a minute rickshaw in traffic and we captured the following photos. See how many eyeballs you can count! ;)
#2 – Language - the good news is almost all Indians speak English. The bad news is Indians don't really speak English the way you do. There is an entire book on this phenomenon titled "Speaking of India", which goes into detail. For example, a simple "yes" from an Indian doesn't really mean what you think it does – many Indians say yes when most other English speakers would say "sure", "uh-huh", or "OK". It just means they heard you – it doesn't really mean "yes"! On more than one occasion Vince threw up his hands and declared that this country would be easier to travel if nobody spoke English – that way it would be impossible to be misled!
#3 – Signs – a
"hotel" is often just a restaurant.
Roadside restaurants looking to increase their profile just call
themselves hotels. There are no
rooms and you wouldn't want to stay in them even if there was.
#4 – Amenities – will often disappoint. Swimming pools won't be chlorinated (i.e. will feel like slimy lakewater); gyms will be closed; TVs will broadcast the static channel; and WiFi, if offered, will be in the lobby only and may or may not actually even work. You learn not to take anything for granted.
#5 – Spitting – all men and some women seem to think that the ground is their own personal hanky for letting go of a multitutude of different bodily fluids, anywhere, anytime and no matter who is around. They ceremoniously hork and make noises to inform you of this action before they do it (at least there is a warning) and then they lauch as far as they can. We wonder why it took us so long to discern that the red marks all over the road pavement are the offings of Paan, which is basically Indian chewing tobacco, but flavoured (sometimes like roses…). Yummy!
#6 – Public Urination – related to #5, above. When you gotta go, you gotta go right? Well in India, for men at least, anywhere you won't be hit by a car can serve as a urinal. On a related note, most roadside restaurants don't have bathrooms.
#7 – Cutting line – we've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating. It does not matter how long you have been waiting, of if you're actually talking to the person on the other side of the counter, desk, or other paperwork-barrier. Persons arriving after you will almost always jump in and take over with the clerk without regard to your presence. And if you blink, they will cut and they will get in front of you. Steph tried (or maybe she is at the end of her rope) to teach folks some manners about how to queue. It didn't work. But it was fun to watch them squirm when confronted/corrected.Hey, did you hear the one about the Indian guy who took the train to his anger management class? He never made it. :)

Dental implants, like teeth, develop problems that must be resolved to allow long-term retention. Dr. Blansett recently co-authored an article in The Open Dentistry Journal entitled "Detoxification of Implant Surfaces Affected by Peri-Implant Disease: An Overview of Non-surgical Methods". This article reviews the literature and demonstrates the complexity of attempting to treat unhealthy dental implants, often without success.
Dr. White and Dr. Blansett have found recent success in treating early stages of bone loss around implants using a Waterlase erbium laser. Diseased implants with more advanced bone loss have been treated with a prophyjet, combined with bone grafts and a combination of biologics. We are encouraged and look forward to documenting future treatment outcomes as we explore this new frontier.

DEAN ESMAY has an informative post up about the continuing saga of Pajamas Media, the blogging world's latest advertising scheme and its latest Next Best Thing.
Since Pajamas Media has been heavily promoted as the Next Best Thing, thanks to its New York launch party, its several million dollars in venture capital, and so on, the outfit has attracted both effusive praise and withering criticism. In short, people are still worked up about it, even now. What's surprised me about this whole Pajamas Media debate is that discussions about its basic utility haven't gotten much play, and that to me seems the most important aspect of it. Fundamentally, this is about writers getting paid for their work. Writers getting paid for their work rules.
I do, however, think that every over-the-top Pajamas Media triumphalist out there should read Roger Lowenstein's When Genius Failed, an examination of how Long-Term Capital Management collapsed back in 1998. That's not because I think the Pajamas Media idea is doomed to fail, but rather because Mr Lowenstein's book shows how annoying triumphalism can be, and how it has a way of coming back to bite.
NOTE: Due to my own circumstances, I accept no advertising here on The Rant, and I should note The Rant is my own completely independent endeavor, etc.
The same with me, Ben. In that way I won't be beholden to anybody.
Goodness knows I've had quite a few people say I should start putting Blog Ads on my blog, but it would make me feel too much like I sold out or something. Instead I'll be able to write about anything and express any opinion without worrying whether I will offend a sponsor.Posted by: DCE at December 2, 2005 07:48 AM

Inaugural Address of President
President, Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine
Professor, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine
Toshikazu Kubo
I was selected as the new President of the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine (JARM) at the JARM board meeting on June 8, 2016.
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare published a White Paper in 1960 that proposed the necessity of rehabilitation medicine. Based on this proposal, the JARM was established in 1963 as a joint venture between the orthopedic and internal medicine fields. After starting as a private organization, the JARM was approved as an incorporated association in 1989 and as a public interest incorporated association in 2012. The JARM marked its 50th anniversary in 2013, and currently has more than a half-century of history.
Dr. Kenji Takagi, who became Professor of Orthopedics at the University of Tokyo in 1924, proposed the philosophy of "Ryoiku" (the word was a neologism combining the characters for "treatment" and "education"). This is the origin of rehabilitation medicine in Japan. The main patients in the early days of rehabilitation medicine were those with pediatric diseases, including polio and cerebral palsy. Later, patients with extremity amputation due to war, occupational accidents, and fracture and spinal cord injury due to traffic accidents required rehabilitation medicine. The rapid aging of society has added cerebral infarction and osteoarthritis to the field. Thus, patients who have benefitted from rehabilitation medicine have included children to the elderly as the times have changed.
Aging of society combined with fewer children has complicated disease structures. Diseases and disorders that are currently treated by rehabilitation medicine are diverse, and include motor disorder, cerebrovascular disorder, cardiovascular and respiratory disorder, eating/swallowing disorder, pediatric disease, and cancer. Furthermore, the unhealthy lifespan has increased and quality rehabilitation is also needed at home, as well as in hospitals and care facilities. The public now expects effective rehabilitation medicine.
Prosthesis fitting, pharmacotherapy, physical stimulation therapy and nutritional control are important in rehabilitation medicine, in addition to training. Rehabilitation doctors treat patients with a combination of these therapies, and support patients to make a positive effort to perform movements for improvement of activities of daily living (ADL). Successful treatment requires rehabilitation team, in which physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language-hearing therapists, nurses, orthopedists, pharmacists, registered dietitians, and clinical social workers all play important roles. Rehabilitation doctors have a great responsibility as the team leader. Many elderly patients have diseases and disorders of multiple organs, and rehabilitation doctors must understand the pathology of these diseases and disorders in order to provide safe and effective rehabilitation medicine. Therefore, interprofessional liaison with specialists in other fields is an important role of rehabilitation doctors.
Internationalization is also necessary for improvement of rehabilitation medicine. The JARM has started publication of a journal in English (Progress in Rehabilitation Medicine) this year, and the 2019 World Congress of the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ISPRM) will be held in Japan. The 2019 congress will increase international contribution in academic and clinical fields. Support of contribution for young physicians is also important, since this activity provides the latest information from other countries and allows successful outcomes in Japan to be presented globally.
Therapy providing optimal outcomes is required as rehabilitation medicine becomes more important. There is a need for accumulation of evidence to validate the usefulness of therapies, including conventional approaches. Robots, electric and magnetic biophysical stimulation, and state-of-the-art devices including brain-machine interface (BMI) systems are also being studied, indicating the importance of coordination with the medical engineering field and industry-university collaboration. The JARM has the responsibility of validating conventional therapies and promoting development of state-of-the-art devices to improve patient QOL.
Human resource development is the highest priority of the JARM. There are an insufficient number of rehabilitation doctors in Japan, and an increased demand for rehabilitation medicine. In a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in 2010, the required number of rehabilitation doctors was higher than the current number, which is a greater shortage than that for doctors in other fields. For development of rehabilitation doctors, it is important to enhance medical education and establish courses in rehabilitation medicine in medical schools across the country. There is also a need to train highly qualified rehabilitation doctors through development of systematic educational programs. In this context, a greater educational role for Rehabilitation Medicine, the 53-volume JARM journal, is important.
Diversity management, a process to activate systems with diversity, is currently of interest. Rehabilitation medicine includes diversity management because it deals with various diseases and disorders, and requires cooperation among many departments and doctors. These characteristics provide energy, and diversity enables pleiotropic social contributions. These include promotion of sports for the disabled and establishment of an inclusive society in which people have a fulfilling life regardless of disability.
The JARM has many issues to resolve, given the current focus on rehabilitation medicine. I will do my best to address these issues, and I will depend on the support and advice of JARM members and all other people involved. This support and advice will be greatly appreciated.

If you're like me, then you're probably used to hitting your favourite online stores daily, browsing the 'New In' sections and doing a quick sweep of the clearance to see if there is anything left in your size worth purchasing. I must admit I am a bit of a slave to the ASOS 'Saved Items' section, and regularly check back to it to see if any of my desired items have been reduced.
Yesterday I was contacted by Stuffster, an online wishlist website which allows you to set a target price for pieces you want to buy! Stuffster can be used on any website, which means the end of me checking through every website for reductions.. it's all done for me! I set up my own Stuffster account to see if this was worth the hype, and let me tell you, it definitely is!
To get yourself started, you add the "+STUFF" bookmark to your bookmark bar, and use it to clip items in the same way as Pinterest or Polyvore.
Now you're ready to go! Browse your favourite stores and 'stuff' your favourite items that are just a little out of your current budget. Set a price alert for the price you want to pay, and if it goes down, Stuffster will alert you just in time for you to buy your size before it goes out of stock!
I had some fun this afternoon playing with Stuffster whilst I was supposed to be revising (oops), here's some of the items that I added to my wishlist:

Four days after Miami ended spring practice, coach Mark Richt joined fellow Atlantic Coast Conference football coaches – and Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly – in the league's annual spring football teleconference.
Richt, who came to Miami after 15 years as the head coach of Southeastern Conference member Georgia, was asked about quarterback Brad Kaaya's progress, how his players responded to the new staff, what stuck out for him as he settled in as UM's coach – and, oh yes, that little Notre Dame matchup this Oct. 29 in South Bend, Indiana.
Kelly, the Notre Dame head coach who joined the teleconference, was also asked by the Miami Herald about the upcoming Canes at Irish matchup and if he were looking forward to it. Note that Notre Dame is a member of the ACC in every sport except football, which is still independent, and ice hockey, which will join the Big Ten in 2017-18.
"We always look towards the Miami game as one that has some very good tradition to it,'' said Kelly, whose Irish, ranked 11th at the end of last season, finished 10-3 with losses at Clemson (24-22), at Stanford (38-36) and against Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl (44-28). "And [we have] a lot of respect for Miami's tradition and certainly the games that have been played have been great ones. So, yeah, there's always the attention paid to it by our players and our alumni base.

UM finished 8-5 last season.
"For them coming here, I think it will rekindle that great matchup between Lou] Holtz and Jimmy Johnson,'' Kelly said. "And I think that that's going to be one that is hyped up pretty big.
"But they're different teams and they're different coaches. I know Mark – great respect for him and the program that he's run for so many years. He's going to do the same thing at Miami. It will be a little bit different – different coaches, different styles of teams. But still, when it's the U and Notre Dame, it will kind of take a life of its own from coast to coast."
The last time the two teams met in South Bend was on Oct. 20, 1990, when No. 6 Notre Dame beat No. 2 Miami 29-20. UM finished the season 10-2, its only other loss the opener at BYU.
The Irish lead the series 16-7-1.
"Well, I quite frankly haven't even thought that far down the road yet,'' Richt said Wednesday. "I know it will be an exciting time for everybody, and hopefully we have a team that's worthy of playing on that day. Our goal is just to try and get better on a daily basis throughout the summer and throughout the fall camp and hopefully by the time we get there even though I don't know what number game it is – by then we should have played enough to be ready to compete.
"Hopefully we're healthy enough and executing well enough to make it a good ball game."
Other Richt comments Wednesday:
▪ On Kaaya: "He's super coachable, super teachable. You know when you cover something in a meeting and then you take it to the field, a lot of times guys will lose it in that little transition. He's able to take stuff from the meeting to the field as good as anybody I've been around.''
▪ On what stuck out to him at Miami: "Well, it was hot,'' he said, laughing. "Early March and it's still smoking hot at 8 O'Clock, 9 O'Clock, 10 O'Clock in the morning.''
▪ On the Hurricanes getting accustomed to different staff: "We're trying to make it very structured and defined as to what we consider full-speed play and what we consider a loaf, and if guys are loafing we're going to discipline them and get them to rise to the level of play that we're asking.''

Dave Harter is an accomplished whittler with many years' experience - during this course he will teach you traditional hand carving, whittling, skills, using craft knives and other specialist hand tools provided to enable you to complete a carved bird in a day with a smooth type finish. Some of you may prefer to keep this stylised finish though David will show how plumage details can be refined using pyrography transforming your bird into a life like model. There are two types of wood ideal for carving; The beautiful native lime, and the more exotic Jelutong. Greystoke is blessed with two excellent wood yards in the vicinity, which supply both hard and exotic woods perfect for carving. During the day Dave will divulge the location of these yards. Many people find the tactile nature of whittling in wood quite soothing and therapeutic. The use of very small 'low tech' tools etc is particularly relaxing. For the last four consecutive years his carvings have achieved Three Gold, Five Silver, and One Bronze awards at the National Bird Carving Championships held annually in Bakewell, Derbyshire. Whittling is a hobby which is enjoyable, therapeutic and richly rewarding in a sense of personal achievement. We are able to supply gift vouchers by email for any of our courses where there is availability, these make lovely presents. If you can't decide which course to choose we can supply Open Quirky Workshop Vouchers to pop inside a card.

Friday, June 21, 2013By:
The big highlight of my third week as an SPS intern was moving into one of the dorms at GW with all of the other interns. It's so neat to be in DC! The Lincoln Memorial is right down the street, and we're close to the metro. I've really enjoyed adapting to the pace of city life, and I'm thrilled that I can experience DC with the other interns.
This week at NIST I worked some more with the MATLAB program I'd been using and gained some valuable tips about basic programming from one of the scientists in my group. Everyone has been so nice and supportive, and it's helpful to have somewhere to turn when I need advice. I'm going to be looking for evidence of quantum effects in the data, and although it's too early to say whether or not I've seen any for sure, there are some interesting artifacts.
In the middle of the week I moved on from MATLAB to mathematical models to get a better intuitive understanding of the experiment and its results. I had a basic understanding of how MOSFETs work from my background reading during the past few weeks, but I needed more clarity on some of the details. I tried two different models for wave interference to see if they would fit our experimental setup, but they weren't sophisticated enough. Although it was frustrating to realize that I hadn't found the correct model, the other members of my group were very supportive and they steered me in the right direction. My next step is to construct a new model from scratch, which is going to be a challenge but should provide me with a great learning opportunity. I'm inspired to see where this next phase of the project takes me!

Listen up Christmas-lovers. 6 January is the last day, officially, to take your festive decorations down before it becomes 'unlucky'.
And before your neighbours start seriously judging you.
According to the Twelfth Night tradition, people should have taken their decorations down by the twelfth night after Christmas - which some believe is 5 January and others believe is 6 January (depending on when they count from).
Twelfth Night is a Christian festival marking the coming of the Epiphany (6 Jan), which celebrates the revelation of baby Jesus to the world.
The 5 January, known as the 'night before Epiphany' is when - according to the Bible - the wise men visited the infant Jesus shortly after his birth.
If you've got a real Christmas tree and you can't quite bare to leave it out in the middle of the street, cold and alone, there are a handful of ways to recycle it.
Environment and climate change charity Greenpeace recommends the following:
:: Re-plant it in the garden.
:: Drop it at your local garden centre. Some places will chip the trees and re-use the chippings throughout the year.
:: Donate your old tree to a conservation scheme.
:: Leave it with your garden waste collection.
Traditionally, it is meant to be unlucky to keep your decorations up past the 6 Jan. However, just between us, keeping your fairy lights up is perfectly acceptable.

Virginia Kernaghan gave an angel pin tie tack to her nephew Bill Runnels. Bill is an Angel in Virginia's life.
Bill is a Christian layman, my nephew, and the son of my oldest sister Minnie Lee. Not only is he a deacon in First Baptist Church in the town where he lives, but he also sings in the church choir, the men's chorus, and taught a Sunday School Class until family illness caused him to have to give up that position. Bill loves his wife, his sons and their wives, and his five granddaughters. When one of the little girls was very ill, Bill and his wife, in addition to taking care of his mother and his wife's mother, they also took on the task of taking care of the other granddaughters while his son and the son's wife were in another town taking care of the little granddaughter who had to have surgery.
Bill loves people; he serves on many Boards, and ministers to sick people in his church. At family weddings, funerals, and parties, he and his wife attend to represent our family at all family occasions. When he was little, my younger sister and I used to visit them a week in the summer. He would hear his mother say that her two sisters were coming to visit, so that is what he called us too. AND I feel that way about him, that he truly is my brother, and I know he is also my Angel.
The photos on this page came from Virginia Kernaghan's photograph albums of memories.

|Deathcore, Technical Death Metal
Sumerian Records
November 14th, 2006
Release length: 33:14
Right from the start you are assaulted with technical insanity. "An Autopsy" and "Pestilence" are simply amazing songs that any technical death fan will enjoy. The guitar riffs are amazing, the drumming phenomenal, and simply well done. These two set the pattern for how the music on this release will go, with the exception of the "Horizons Of Chaos" tracks, which seem to ditch the pattern of the predecessors. "Horizons Of Chaos Part 1" feels more like a typical death metal song, but slowed down without much technicality to it. However "Horizons Of Chaos 2" has a more subtle technical aspect, aside the guitars during the bridge that appears through the song, as well as the breakdown. By subtle, I mean it is there, but moreso in the background as melody then as lead.
One interesting aspect of the album is that there is no set drummer. The drumming on this release is done by four different drummers, all of them very talented and sounding rather similar to one another in the final mix. Aside thee drumming, some of the songs, like "Leica", also have some keyboard work in the background, which just adds a hint of melody during certain moments of the songs, prodominantly in the chorus though. And of course, "Akeldama", an instrumental which adds distorted vocals in the beginning and certain moments through the song, also shows off a bit of a jazz moment about three and a half minutes in. Sadly, this song, while well done, can get boring after the first few listens. "The Ghost Of A Stranger" also has a bit of a jazz moment about the same amount of time in. This one, however, will not get boring after the first few listens.
The Faceless are going to be a band to keep an eye on. Akeldama is a well done technical death assault that blends deathcore, and some of the more experimental hardcore sounds perfectly. With a few moments that seem out of place on a few songs, such as the aforementioned jazz moments, and momentarily slowing down in the song aside the breakdowns, this release is a very promising start from this band.

04. Horizons Of Chaos 1: Oracle Of The Onslaught – 3:50

text: In the early hours of the morning Grenfell Tower which is an estate on Latimer Road caught fire. The actual cause is not known but it's said that a fridge exploded on the 4th floor. Grenfell Tower has 24 floors and it was shocking to see how quick the whole building caught fire. It has been confirmed 12 people have died. The emergency services responded very quickly and tried their best to help those that were involved in this unfortunate tragedy. What I'm most happy about is the unity the local and wider community has shown. People from all around London have been showing great support, whether it be taking supplies to help points, providing shelter or setting up donation pages. Please please do what you can to support and aid those that are in need. Lets continue to help, not just for today but for as long as the victims need our help. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved in the incident. Emergency number for concerned friends and family 0800 0961 233.

The city has grown up all around it and no rickshaws are in sight, even for touristic purposes. The big mountain looming in the background must be Mt. Maya. It is considered one of the oldest shrines in Japan. Love the hand-coloring of this reproduction postcard.

as a new component of its hematologic malignancies (blood cancers) program.
Led by interim director Frank Smith, MD, the program is a collaborative effort of UC Health and the UC College of Medicine. Inpatient care will take place at University Hospital and outpatient care at the Barrett Center.
"We are building the foundation of an academically focused, world-class transplantation program,� says George Atweh, MD, director of the UC Cancer Institute and head of the division of hematology oncology at the College of Medicine. "We have a great team assembled, excellent clinical facilities and a commitment to conducting the clinical research that will result in better treatments for blood cancers.�
UC is currently recruiting a permanent director for the program and two additional medical oncologists who specialize in treating blood diseases.
The UC bone marrow transplant service and hematologic malignancies program will bring innovative treatment options to the Greater Cincinnati area through clinical trials.
"Bone marrow transplant is required for the treatment of many blood diseases. We now have the team and infrastructure to offer this critically important service to cancer patients in the Tristate area. It is also our mission to find ways to use bone marrow transplant most effectively,� says Smith, Marjory J. Johnson Endowed Chair and Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine at the College of Medicine.
To accommodate the inpatient service, University Hospital has created a dedicated unit within the critical care pavilion designed to reduce infection risk. The unit includes individualized HEPA-filtered, positive pressure rooms that maintain an air flow out of the room, reducing the likelihood of contaminants reaching the patient. Additional space with the same infection-control measures is available in the intensive care unit for patients who need extra attention post-procedure.
About Bone Marrow Transplant
Treatment with bone marrow transplant involves collecting stem cells�which are produced in the bone marrow�either from the cancer patient or a donor. These stem cells are then infused back into the patient after high dose chemotherapy cancer treatment is complete to help restore bone marrow�s ability to produce red and white blood cells that fight off infection.
Stem cells are collected, stored and prepared for transplantation by
experts at the
Hoxworth Blood Center
Most often, blood is taken from the patient and passed through a machine that separates stem cells from all the other blood components. These stem cells are frozen for re-infusion once the patient�s treatment is complete.

Dr. Irving Lee
Dr. Irving Lee taught Dr. Berman General Semantics at Northwestern University where Dr. Lee was a Professor of Public Speaking in the School of Speech. Dr. Lee first became acquainted with General Semantics at a workshop he attended in 1939 at the Institute for General Semantics. Attendees at the small but intensive 35 hour workshop that spanned two weeks included such important figures in General Semantics as S. I. Hayakawa, Wendell Johnson, and Charlotte Schuchardt (Read) along with other major academics such as anthropologist Margaret Mead, philosopher and mathematician Willard V. O. Quine, and author William S. Burroughs (see image below). In 1940 Dr. Lee designed and began teaching a course in General Semantics called "Language and Thought," which would soon become a favorite of students at Northwestern. Also in 1940, he wrote Language Habits in Human Affairs: An Introduction to General Semantics. In conjunction with his work on General Semantics, Dr. Lee taught on a number of different topics, many having to do with public speaking, During World War II, he lent his services to the Air Force where he taught instructors how to teach Air Force pilots how to recognize enemy planes. In addition, he published How to Talk With People (1952) and Customs and Crises in Communication (1954).
Dr. Lee died of a sudden illness in 1955 at the age of 45. He was survived by his wife, Laura Lee (d. 1987), who became a Professor of Speech and Language Pathology at Northwestern, and by his son David Alfred Lee who had just turned 6 when Dr. Lee died.
As Dr. Melville Herskovits, an Anthropology professor at Northwestern wrote in Dr. Lee's obituary, "The efforts of Irving Lee were continuously directed toward alleviating conflict, misunderstanding, prejudice ; toward encouraging clarity of thought and communication." (Dr. Lee's obituary in ETC.).
A sampling of Dr. Lee's writings, many of which directly address the teaching and study of General Semantics, can be found below.

Russia's largest bank replaces 3000 employees with virtual lawyers
Virtual lawyers: Smart contract and blockchains put many professions at risk, not only among low-income earners.
More and more companies are beginning to use artificial intelligence for routine tasks. Virtual lawyers are intended to make legal systems more cost-efficient. But these developments come at a price.
Bitcoin trader against machine
Sberbank, Russia's largest bank, has announced that it will use a virtual lawyer to handle Bitcoin trader complaints. However, this innovation will mean dismissal for about 3000 Bitcoin trader. Sberbank Deputy Chairman Vadim Kulik said that the "Robot Lawyer" was launched at the end of 2016 and is scheduled for completion in early 2017.
"This virtual assistant freed 3000 experts from this work. And we want to use these assistants in even larger contexts."
According to Kulik, this innovation frees specialists from routine tasks. In the future, all legal documentation will be automated, so that lawyers will only have to deal with serious legal procedures.
The employees who have carried out these routine activities so far should have the opportunity to further their education through special training courses. In this context, Kulik would like to investigate where these specialists can be deployed meaningfully in the future.
Crypto trader lawyers: from parking tickets to bankruptcy proceedings
The AI software could soon be something quite normal. In the end, it has already begun. It wasn't long ago that ROSS Intelligence installed its crypto trader software in various law firms (such as BakerHostetler) across the United States. ROSS uses the computing power of the IBM Watson supercomputer to handle complex bankruptcies and large amounts of crypto trader data.
Another example is DoNotPay: as early as 20105, Joshua Browder wrote a chatbot that she believes allows users to automatically object to unjustified parking tickets.
Unfortunately, some people will lose their jobs due to this technology. From a business perspective, however, the benefits outweigh the benefits for both the business itself and its customers. In the US, 80 percent who need a lawyer cannot afford one. With programs like ROSS, law firms can charge significantly lower fees.
For traditional law firms it will be tight
In general, artificial intelligence could become a big thing for the judiciary. Programs like ROSS or DoNotPay are adaptive, so they can handle more complex cases over time. The more cases the software has to handle, the more errors it can correct, so that at some point it could work better than large teams of experts.
It will take a long time to convince courts and lawyers of the benefits. However, much of the day-to-day legal business has already been automated and optimized: Document review, legal research and drafting of legal texts are increasingly supported by software. This trend will continue with artificial intelligence.
And the blockchain? Also this plays a role here. Especially when we think of Smart Contracts – contracts that execute themselves without legal scholars – this role becomes clear. Added to this is the decentralized storage of those smart contracts, whereby they can be stored unalterably, transparently and automatically in a controlled manner.
The double combination of blockchain and AI can also completely push many specialists out of the competition, as the need for trustworthy middlemen disappears and is replaced by open, transparent and direct interaction.
Those companies and institutions that welcome the current technological revolution will be rewarded with a major competitive advantage in the future. Accordingly, more and more companies will combine existing expertise with emerging technologies to get the most out of disruptive trends. But how do you take care of those who will be replaced by the new technology?

1 September 2011
Over 80 students, teachers and officials attended the 3rd Prudential Cup held in Beijing on 20th August. The talented students formed 10 teams and presented the judges with enthusiastic performances ranging from dancing and singing to story-telling and short dramas. All of them brought out the importance of insurance in day-to-day life and the role insurance plays in protecting families and societies.
The judging panel comprised of representatives from Prudential Corporation Asia, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC), the Ministry of Education (MOE), and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS).
The PruCup event is the annual highlight of the China Insurance Education Programme that PCA launched in 2007 as part of its financial literacy initiatives. The programme is run in partnership with the education authorities and it aims to provide junior to high-school students with the basic concepts of financial management and insurance education. To date, more than 10,000 students from 20 schools across the country have benefitted from this programme.
Wang Guogang, Head of the Institute of Finance and Banking of CASS and chairman of the panel of judges said that "In school, students learn about key insurance principles. Through this competition, these concepts come to life and show that our students understand the real value of prudent financial management in their day-to-day life."
A teacher from Sichuan commended the students for their outstanding performance. "The Prudential Cup was a highly successful event that gives our students valuable knowledge about insurance and promotes creativity and sharing among different schools from across the country." she said.

The study of atomic structure forms a large part of GCSE Chemistry. This is the last in our series of three quizzes on the topic and it looks not only at the numbers and arrangement of protons, neutrons and electrons in atoms, their atomic numbers and their atomic mass, but also at the numbers of electrons in the different shells of atoms and how the electrons in an atom's outer shell are affected when ions are formed.
One of the biggest hurdles to understanding chemistry is the idea of scale. With atomic structure, we are dealing with processes and objects that we cannot see directly which is why it was not until well into the 20th century that protons and neutrons were identified. Our knowledge of what lies inside an atom has been discovered by using indirect observations, for example, the scattering of alpha particles as they passed through a thin piece of gold foil demonstrated that the mass of an atom was concentrated into a very small area at the centre - the nucleus.
The first of the sub-atomic particles that were identified was the electron. Experiments using 'cathode rays' in 1897 by J.J. Thompson showed that they were the same no matter what element they came from. He guessed that they were some kind of fundamental particle that was a structural part of all atoms. They had a negative charge and in 1904 he suggested that an atom consisted of these 'corpuscles' whizzing round in a 'sea' of positive charge. We now know them as electrons which do move round in atoms but they do so in well defined areas known as 'shells' or 'energy levels'. They remain part of the atom because of the attraction of the nucleus. We also now appreciate that each of the 'shells' contains a specific maximum number of electrons. You only need to know how to work out the arrangement of electrons in each of the first 20 elements and their ions for the GCSE.
For the exam, you need to be able to recognise elements from their electron arrangements and state what happens to electrons and the electron structure of atoms when they bond with other atoms, including the formation of ions.

Industrial Images #photography #Blackcountry
There aren't many industrial scenes left in the Black Country but the ones that are left can provide us with interesting subjects for photography. Industrial images with their unusual patterns and sense of decay against a dark or stormy sky can be quite dramatic.
Patterns and depth
The composition of this image gives it depth and there are a lot of patterns which makes the image more interesting. The canal adds to the sense of depth. It was a dark sky and so I set the ISO at 400. This shot was at 18mm so despite the cold I didn't have to worry too much about camera shake. On aperture priority, the camera gave me a shutter speed of 1/60 of a second which was more than fast enough.
Industrial images
Industrial images can be about anything associated with industry and can be old factories with rusting features or new warehousing that just looks interesting.
I'm not looking to create pretty images, I can do that in the summer. I'm looking to capture a little history. One day, all these old factories and industrial scenes will be gone. These industrial images tell a story and now is the time to tell the story before all these industrial scenes disappear.
Modern warehousing is replacing the factories and patterns of steel sheet are replacing the patterns of brickwork but these industrial images although quite stark are still interesting and a part of our history and culture.
If you have a camera, go out and look around and capture those images that you see whether they are scenic landscapes suitable for a picture postcard, people going about their daily lives or industrial images that tell a story. Be part of telling that story.

Always walk into a book expecting to come out different. When deliberately searching for a lesson, you will find it. Not only will your reading experience be enhanced but your personal growth will abound when applying them.
Just Because
I look back at doing the Three Day Quote Challenge as others would look back on their weekend vacation. "How can it be done already!?" I groan to myself. "I was having so much fun!" Yet, who said I had to stop? (I mean, seriously now?) So, for no reason other than just because, here is a bonus quote. Read more

Quote Challenge: Day One
I owe my new blogging buddy, Writing Like Crazy a huge thank you for choosing me to do this challenge.How fun!!! 😀
I know I'm really supposed to find one quote per day….but I found two instead. O:)
Have we not seen this with both the Nazis and within terrorism? Interestingly enough, Heine's books were burned during the Nazi's campaign to erase un-german philosophy.
On a related note….
What is a dictatorial government's first line of defense? A lot of the times, it's ignorance. The public must not be able to think for themselves but instead be told what to think. Why do you think North Korea has banned the classics and other books from the West? What would have happened if Heine's quote would have been found in Nazi Germany? Horror upon horrors: would it have been taken seriously? Would someone have actually started thinking? OOOOH, scary!!! It's simple: read a book, stop a dictator. 😉
Now, the hardest decision of the day: who to tag?
Comfort Food For The Reader's Soul
Along with hominy and a camping spot next to a creek, what else could make my vacation in Maggie Valley perfect? That's a silly question. How about a book? The sleepy mountain town in At Home In Mitford is materialized as you note the many similarities between it and the Valley. Read more
On The Road Again
Have you ever camped at Maggie Valley? Well, neither had we. Many times we drove through while on our way to Cherokee or Gatlinburg, but it's not a place you'd notice much. It has no big attractions or shopping centers, but that didn't stop us from having the best time of our lives!

Our bozo for today comes from Suffield Connecticut, where a pair of cows escaped from their pen and caused a disturbance. After initially being able to apprehend the bovines, the cops issued a Facebook warning. They told residents not to open their doors to any "unfamiliar cattle." They went on to say that two "suspicious males" were going door to door "trying to sell dairy products." Um…officers…these are cows, not bulls. Regardless of the gender mixup, the cows were rounded up without further incident.

Man beaten to death in park had special needs, family says
Police say a man died this morning after he was punched in the head during an argument at a Pennsylvania park on Monday night
A change of pace. A middle-aged white male robs a drug store in Harm City for a change. Probably a desperate dope fiend, given that he just made off with "prescription medication", eh?
Jeremy, I recall last year three white dudes in Howard County mugged a WWII veteran, which I thought was a breach of social contract, as beating the shit out of the withered remnants of the greatest generation is supposed to by the province of Reparations Recovery Agents. Well, we can always count on our dope fiends keeping us in the news.

I guess the fact that there are plenty of other Hispanic guys in prison for him to converse and interact with was of no comfort to poor Ay-Ay-Ron, facing a lifetime of incarceration as he was.
"Guards found Hernandez just after 3 a.m., Correction Department spokesman Christopher Fallon said. The onetime tight end was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead about an hour later. Hernandez had been housed in a single cell in a general population unit at the maximum-security state prison in Shirley. He tried to jam the cell door to prevent guards from opening it and hanged himself with a bedsheet tied to a window, Fallon said."
"Fallon said he was not aware of any suicide note. He said officials had no reason to believe Hernandez might take his life, and if they had had any such worries, he would have been transferred to a mental health unit. The Worcester County district attorney's office and the Correction Department are investigating."

It's that time again to revisit my goals for the year and review how I did during the month. Actually it is three days PAST time but I have been entertaining quite a bit for the last few days...so, you understand. Goals I didn't meet are in RED.
House Project of the Month: The goal is one but again this month, we accomplished more than one! yay!
- Matt built bookcases in our stairway. We both had a poly-staining party and I *FINALLY* unpacked our boxes of books, sorted them by genre/author and put them in.
- Matt hung the two antique mirrors where I wanted them and hung one of my stained glass light fixtures in the dining room.
- I finished the hankie shower curtain and hung it! Here is a sneak peek:
Family Read Aloud:
- Beowulf (the older two enjoyed this immensely and I enjoyed reading it. It is the kind of book you can really get dramatic with. It is pretty violent and a bit scary, so the olders and I read it after I read the littles some 'littles' books and put them to bed.)
- Understood Betsy (audio) (What a GREAT book! Many times as an adult, I was struck by the truths that came from this childrens' book. LOVED it.)
Letterwriting: 6
Letters to Opa/ Widows: 3
Scripture Memorization: Psalm 3
Savings Account: none*
Car Fund: none*
Principle on House: none*
* Closing costs on the house used up all our excess cash flow this month. Disappointing, but....worth it. ;-)
Christmas gift made: I worked on the other crocheted edge pillowcase. Now it is a pair and that gift is DONE. I realize I should have finished both in ONE month and had a different present done altogether by now. But. There it is.
Exercise (the goal was 3x a week): 16 days
Drank 60 ounces of water a day: Pretty sure I did this daily but I didn't mark it on my list so I don't have the exact days. Not a drop of soda in March either!
Read Bible (by myself): 12 times. Not quite a daily habit yet, is it? Thankfully, reading the Word is a daily habit in the form of family worship in the evenings and/or daily Bible study during the day with the children.
Other Goals from the yearly list:
~Began Catechism questions with the children (the book was finally unpacked!)
