Today I got the chance to speak with Danielle Hayden, a writer living in Seattle, USA. She was kind enough to share her very interesting story about how she got into learning languages, starting as far back as kindergarten.
Read on to find out more about why she likes to take language classes to study foreign languages, as well as some of the inspiration she has had to keep her going along the way.
For the Love of Languages: Tell us a bit about yourself. Where do you live and what do you do for a living?
Danielle Hayden: I live in Seattle, Washington, USA. I'm a writer of both fiction and non-fiction, as well as an editor. Occasionally, I review manuscripts for a local publisher that deals primarily with works of science fiction. Recently, I have also assumed a role as a grant writer for an organization working to preserve endangered languages.
I am, obviously, interested in foreign languages, which is why you graciously have allowed me to appear on your site. But as you can see, I am interested in the beauty of the English language as well. I always surround myself with words one way or another.
FTLOL: What made you get into learning foreign languages? What made you stick with it until now? How long have you been doing it for?
DH: I started learning my first foreign language in kindergarten, so I've been learning languages (albeit not continuously) for 24 years.
The elementary school that my parents sent me to was a language immersion school. It was the only public school of its kind in Detroit, which is where I grew up. It was cool because we'd be learning multiplication, for example, but we'd be learning it in French. Instead of two times two, my teacher would say deux fois deux, so we were learning core subjects and language skills simultaneously.
The school offered French, Spanish, and Japanese at the time (when I got older they also added a Mandarin Chinese program). Once you picked a language, you stuck with it from kindergarten until grade 5. My parents gave me a lot of choice when I was younger, something for which I am grateful. I was allowed to pick which language I studied. Japanese seemed daunting, and Spanish was what everyone seemed to learn, and I wanted to be different and thus selected French. So at first it was just something I had to do because that's the school I was sent to, but I found that I loved language.
After I left elementary school at 11 years old, I chose to study more things on my own and have continued that pursuit. I've stuck with languages because they're just so fun to me. They open up new worlds. I love the differences in sound, in meaning and nuance, and even in perspective. There are ideas and concepts in other tongues that English doesn't have, and vice versa.
Moreover, although I am fairly reserved in temperament, I also love being able to communicate with different people of different cultures. I also enjoy having access to written works in their purest form; professional translators are brilliant and do brilliant work, but there's nothing like being able to read a poem as it was written originally.
I'm also a huge cinephile. I watch at least three movies per week, and I love when I'm watching a foreign film and I understand what is being said without subtitles (which are often incorrect and it frustrates me to no end!). I've enjoyed learning a few swear words here and there as well; profanity sounds so much prettier in Italian.
And the cultural knowledge is fascinating, especially for French and Spanish, which are so widely spoken all over the world. For instance, I made friends with this band from Benin in grad school and I spoke French with them and learned more about their country; my most recent Spanish class was taught by a Ukrainian man who had spent a great deal of time in Latin America. He would teach me Spanish and talk about growing up in the Ukraine and living in Uruguay, and then his mom helped me practice my Russian a few times.
Even when learning Italian–yeah, all my teachers were from Italy but they were all from different regions, so I learned a lot about different cultural practices (as well as dialects) even within the same country. I love all of this stuff; I live for it. Language may not be a lucrative pursuit but the rewards are great nonetheless.
FTLOL: What is your academic background? Did you study languages in university?
DH: Unlike my elementary school, my middle school was not an immersion school but they did offer French and Spanish classes. I started school late there and those were the only open electives that year so I had both classes on my schedule.
I started learning Spanish, and then during French class I would help the teacher grade papers since I was already so advanced. In high school, they offered French, Spanish, and German. I took AP French so I could get college credit but was bored the rest of the time because I wasn't being challenged. I could have gotten better at Spanish but a couple of the Spanish teachers were mean so I stuck with French! German didn't appeal to me.
As an undergraduate, I didn't study any languages (which is something I strongly regret). There was a language requirement at my university but I took a placement test and was therefore exempt. I was too focused on the requirements for my major and minor.
After college though, I became a French teacher and it was great to have language in my life again. In graduate school, I studied Italian and took a very intensive course on a regular basis for several hours every week; at least 90 minutes a day. I became pretty fluent in just a few months.
I also studied some ASL (American Sign Language) because one of the professor's assistants had majored in Deaf Education and she offered to teach anyone for free who was interested. I also purchased Rosetta Stone in Latin.
After getting my Master's degree, I got married and moved to Seattle–a city with robust language learning opportunities, especially compared to where I grew up. I resumed Italian classes and joined a Latin meetup group. I took another Spanish class too to brush up. If I had to do it all over again though, I would have majored in Romance Languages with a minor in Latin.
FTLOL: What languages can you speak to a good conversational level, and are you studying any others at the moment?
DH: I can speak French and Italian well, and my Spanish isn't bad. At the moment though I am still trying to get even better at Italian because it is my favorite language; I'd like to be as good in Italian as I am in English.
I have some Irish, Latin, and Catalan study materials that I dabble in as well, though I wish I had more time to set aside for these studies and it would help if I had someone to whom I could be accountable. I have not abandoned Russian either but it is much more difficult to study on my own. I plan to take another formal class again soon; I got to only an elementary level of proficiency. I've been going back and forth on whether to resume ASL.
FTLOL: Is there any particular method you have for learning a new language or any particular resources you like to use? For example, do you make yourself study with language books for a certain amount of time each day, take language classes, talk with native speakers, or do something else entirely?
DH: I prefer to enroll in language courses. The exercises help, as well as having people to talk to regularly and being given homework. Sometimes it's out of my comfort zone to be in these classes because my personality is not very outgoing, as I said, but the classes are always worth it. I also find adult learners to be much more encouraging and supportive of one another. They (we) also seem to be more motivated and eager to learn which makes sense, I suppose. After all, no one is forcing us to be there. Quite the contrary–we want to be there, and in fact have paid money to be there. It creates a good milieu for absorbing the language because people are generally serious about learning.
I do try to converse with native speakers sometimes. Usually, I reserve these verbal exchanges for people I already know well (for example, one of my good friends is from El Salvador and we chat in Spanish a little; another one of my best friends is from Martinique so we chat in French), but from time to time, I feel brave enough to converse with a native speaker I've just met. I'm always a little nervous but it works out just fine.
I have a lot of language books I have tried, and some software, but I find it hard to motivate myself to stick with those. Despite its popularity, I don't care for Duolingo very much so I use it sparingly. I watch YouTube language videos on occasion.
FTLOL: If you've ever tried to learn more than one language at once, how did you organize your time? Were you able to give equal emphasis to all of the languages?
DH: I have tried to study more than one language at once and it's not the easiest of feats. Initially, I created a schedule where I studied different languages on different days so I could learn a little bit of a lot of languages. But I found that, although that approach had breadth, it was sorely lacking in depth, so I reduced the amount of languages I was learning at the same time so that I could go deeper.
I'll admit that I never gave equal emphasis on the languages; Romance languages always won, as this group is my favorite but is also the most practical (aside from Catalan). Romance languages also come easier to me because of my background and due to the similarities between them. There are also more materials and classes out there to support learning French, Spanish, or Italian.
FTLOL: What have been some of the most difficult aspects for you of learning a new language? What have you found easy? Can you provide us with any examples?
DH: Learning the Cyrillic alphabet, in the case of Russian, was challenging. I'm still a very slow reader in Russian–not only are there more letters, but they're different. Fortunately I already knew the Greek alphabet, which made it a little easier for me, but it was still not easy–even verbally.
Before learning Russian, I'd done Romance languages and some Latin, and I caught on rather quickly to those languages. But with Russian, sometimes I found it difficult to remember things or formulate my thoughts. I was so accustomed to picking up languages with relative ease; learning Russian made me feel stupid sometimes. I was embarrassed when I made mistakes. That didn't discourage me but it was definitely uncomfortable.
American Sign Language was also hard. Memorizing the signs themselves is a challenge, but also remembering to change your facial expression. For example, when asking a yes or no question, not only do you sign the question but you must also raise your eyebrows (and often widen your eyes too) at the end of the phrasing.
When asking a who, what, where, when, why, or how question, your eyebrows should be downward, like furrowed. There's also a slight head tilt. This was sometimes hard for me to remember at the same time as remembering the sign.
The syntax is also very unlike spoken English. I'm also just so awkward in terms of my body and physical presence (even in non-ASL situations), so I never did get fully comfortable with being so kinetic.
What comes easy to me is pronunciation. I've been told by native speakers that I pronounce things well. Even in the case of Russian!
FTLOL: Have there been any specific people who have influenced you in learning languages?
DH: Kinda. I feel inspired (and intimidated, and sometimes demoralized) when I read about amazing polyglots around the globe, but I wouldn't say that anyone influenced me directly aside from one of my professors in graduate school.
He is French and also speaks German, English, and Spanish with sprinklings of other tongues. I was already learning languages but his love of language, and his belief in the importance of language, really came through in his teaching and was something that made me love learning languages even more.
He definitely influenced my involvement with reviving and preserving endangered languages, something I'd like to have a greater impact on and something with which I hope to be more directly involved in the near future.
FTLOL: When I attended elementary and high school in Vancouver, Canada, children generally took French or Spanish (and sometimes German) classes as part of the school curriculum; however, they were rarely able to speak very well even after years and years of study in the classroom. Living in a similar geographical area (i.e., Seattle) yourself, have you noticed a similar phenomenon regarding how poor student language levels generally are? Do you have any ideas for how to remedy this?
DH: I have been living in Seattle for only 4 years, and I only taught in this area for one year, so I apologize but I'm not the best person to answer this question. Even when I was teaching here, it was at a small, independent, alternative school so there was no language requirement at all.
I definitely noticed what you speak of when I was in Michigan though, where I spent my formative years. I noticed that pupils rarely retain their skills. I think that is the fault of both the students and the approach of the school system. It's usually this rote learning with drills and endless verb conjugations.
I think young people can work harder to achieve mastery, but I also think that schools should make language learning more immersive and interactive, and with greater reinforcement. I also think framing it as an important thing to learn would go a long way. Many students have a "what's the point?" attitude towards a lot of subject matter, so I think discussing why language is a big deal and the opportunities that can be opened might help elicit greater engagement.
But I will add that in general, the United States does a poor job anyway compared to other countries in terms of language learning. In other countries it's so common to be conversant (and often literate) in other languages; in the United States it's more of an anomaly.
I also see a pervasive attitude here: at best, it's dismissive, and at worst, it's very anglocentric and downright maligning of other linguistic pursuits. There's definitely a strong argument for English as the lingua franca, but this whole "hierarchy of language" thing is something I dislike.
What I dislike even more (because it's not even backed up by research) is the idea that language learning is a zero-sum game; as if learning a foreign languages will come at the expense of English skills. That belief is patently false and I wish it would die out.
For the record, I'm not trying to push language on anyone either. People should be allowed to study what interests them, and I don't even think learning a language should be a university requirement. I just think if people realized how magical the pursuit can be that more of them (though admittedly, not all) would take on greater study of languages.
FTLOL: Do you think that it is better to go to a foreign country to learn a language, or can you achieve a similar level of fluency without leaving your home town? Have you ever lived abroad to learn a language?
DH: I have never lived abroad, and I feel so much remorse for that. I always had an excuse–mainly financial–but I should have done it when I was younger.
I would like to in the future, however. I've considered applying for a Fulbright scholarship to Andorra, partially to learn Catalan. Another dream destination is Italy and I've looked at a lot of programs there that are specifically for language study.
I think a very high level of fluency can be achieved in one's hometown if the class is intensive and meets frequently and if the instructor is willing to talk completely or almost completely in the language, but there is nothing like going to live in a foreign country itself.
There, the menu is in your target language. The street signs, the newspaper, the subway system, the television. The other language surrounds you; it is inescapable. Even slang words–those aren't all going to be in your textbook. You'll hear more of them walking down the cobblestone street in a provincial town.
FTLOL: As a follow up from the last question, what countries have you travelled to, and have you found that simply travelling for a short period of time (e.g., several days to several weeks) can also improve your language skills?
DH: I am not very well traveled (due to the aforementioned financial reasons). I have been to Canada, the Bahamas, and Brazil. I grew up near downtown Detroit, which is only about 20 minutes away from the Canadian border and nearby Windsor, Ontario, so I used to go to Canada at least once every couple years. I really took it for granted because it was so close geographically.
Now that I live in Seattle, I've driven up to Vancouver, BC a couple times and I love it there too. I could see myself living in Canada, though I've never visited for longer than a weekend. I like that I get to use my French a little, mostly in reading things. My husband is a huge soccer fan so that's why we went to Brazil for the World Cup (instead of going on a European honeymoon.) I knew it would mean a lot to him.
We were in Brazil for two weeks and I definitely noticed that my Portuguese improved, which wasn't even intentional on my part because it's not a language I particularly want to learn, but very few people we encountered spoke English so I had to try and get by and get around. There are a lot of Italian expatriates there though, so I used my Italian in Brazil several times, in all three cities in Brazil that we traveled to.
I'm in a position now where I can slowly start to remedy my lack of travel. I have a trip to France booked for December and will do some more overseas travel next year and the years following.
FTLOL: Do you have any advice for people who might want to learn a language but who don't know where to start?
DH: Seek out classes in your area and/or conversation partners online. There are many opportunities to learn for fun and at your leisure. Community colleges, universities, language centers, etc. are all places to search.
There are also one-on-one language tutors, but they can be very expensive. If you'd like more independence and are more of an autodidact, then YouTube can be a great place to start, as well as a lot of free language podcasts on iTunes and lots of phone apps. The library is a great resource to check out books and learning materials in other languages too. Good luck!

Title: Systems and Signatures for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Invention: The invention is a system and method to quantify optimal CPR through the Bio-Stamp. This system will monitor and provide feedback to the CPR provider if CPR is being performed correctly, allowing the CPR provider to make corrections and standardizing the way to individuals are trained in CPR.
Background: Results of a study of 67 cardiac arrest patients receiving CPR at the University of Chicago hospitals concluded that 28% of intervals were too slow, 40% of compressions were too shallow, and 60% of the patients hyperventilated. CPR doubles a patient's chance of surviving cardiac arrest outside the hospital. Currently, subjective measures on force, pressure, and frequency are used during CPR. This represents a need to quantify what is a proper CPR procedure and provide immediate feedback to the provider.

This year, people were asking not only who was going to be in the show, but who was going to benefit.
Dr. Bob Hill
Sometimes fundraising for disaster survivors takes a creative turn.
For the past seven years, Community Christian Church has hosted a Jazz Carolfest in Kansas City, Mo. to benefit Week of Compassion (WOC) relief initiatives in the U.S. and abroad.
Week of Compassion is a giving program administered by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
"The event has become a fixture in the holiday celebration in Kansas City," said Dr. Bob Hill, senior minister of Community Christian Church.
Hill and musician Tim Whitmer collaborated on the effort, writing their plans on the back of a business card. "We said, 'What could we do? What could we offer as a gift to Kansas City?' So we came up with the idea to do the Christmas music in a jazz idiom," said Hill.
This season's Carolfest, which took place in early December, benefited WOC's work battling the food shortage in southern Africa. Hill estimated 850 people attended the event, raising some $10,000.
Jazz is no stranger to the Christian community in Kansas City. Whitmer has led a traditional jazz worship service each August for 15 years. He has also helped to lead the jazz-infused Easter sunrise service.
The Carolfest features 20 of the top area jazz musicians, including The Scamps, whom Hill describes as, "the elder statesmen of jazz." Citing some of his favorite portions of the show, Hill said, "It is awesome to hear a smoky-voiced torch singer doing 'Ave Maria' and it's beautiful to hear a jazz harpist do a version of 'Silent Night.'"
In the past, Carolfest proceeds have gone to aid Bosnian refugees, flood survivors worldwide, people who suffer from AIDS in the U.S. and Africa, and many other causes.
"We have people who have been to every [Carolfest] and they always look forward to it," said Hill. "This year, people were asking not only who was going to be in the show, but who was going to benefit. They very much enjoyed giving to help others."

Creating Delicious Gluten Free Recipes since 2008.
YUM! I just printed this recipe! Sunday brunch dessert…definitely! Thank you!
I just made this for family that is visiting this week. First, they can't believe it is GF, and second, it is soooooo delicious! It truly is one of the best cakes I have ever made, GF or not. Thank you!!!
yeah!! Megan, your words made me smile. 🙂 So glad to hear that it's a hit with you guys too. Phew! I think I'll be making this recipe again this coming weekend, as I am to bring a dessert to our Thanksgiving gathering. Looking forward to it too. 😉
Oh, pumpkin and chocolate, what a match! Sounds and looks delicious.
Hmmm – love the combination of flavors here. This sounds excellent.
I made this for thanksgiving dinner for my husband, but everyone loved it! thanks so much, it has been so hard to find foods for my husband, I have been able to sucessfully modify a lot of your recipes! 🙂
I tried this cake awhile ago and we all liked it so much I made it again for Thanksgiving (Canadian Thanksgiving is always second Monday in October). I doubled it and had enough batter to fill my spring form pan I usually make cheesecake in. I used a sour cream – cream cheese icing and a good sprinkle of chopped walnuts …..
So glad to see that so many are enjoying it! It really is a delicious, moist cake. No GF taste or texture here! 🙂
This sheet cake looks amazing! Especially with the cream cheese frosting 🙂
Love the flavor combination here. Looks sinfully delicious.
Just want to let you know how much my family loves this cake!! It has been my requested birthday cake for the past few years. Anyone who has tried it has loved it!! I love that it combines two of my favorite things, chocolate and pumpkin. Thanks and have a beautiful day. 🙂
Hi, looks good, but one problem I have. Yes, I'm gluten free and egg free and dairy free. Most gluten free recipes have one or both of the other two foods, so I still can't have a nice dessert.
Can this cake be turned out, or must it stay in the pan due to its size? I'd like to make it for my son's birthday on friday, but my pan is more of a roasting pan with taller sides (tho the dimensions match a jelly roll pan) so I was hoping to turn it out on a cake board to decorate. Thanks!

«if at the time that it would take on the day of Saint Lucia until Christmas Eve, of nine trees — lime, birch, hazel, willow, alder, beech, spruce, thorn, maple — to make a chair, working little by little every day, but to take his secret to the morning service, so sit on it — you will see what that is hidden from others: women who kneel with his back to the altar. This is a witch ...».
December 13 Catholics celebrate memory of St. Lucia (Saint Lucy's Day), martyr time of Diocletian (3rd century).
name Lucia comes from the Latin word «lux» — «light». With a holiday in her honor is associated saying: "With the holy night Lucie decrease." It appeared in the era of the Julian calendar, according to which on December 13 the day of the winter solstice. After Gregorian reform in 1582 shortest day of the year fell on December 21. After that, the popular wisdom is no longer correspond to reality, which is reflected in an addendum to the saying: "With the holy night Lucie decrease, but the days are no longer».
Lucia — patroness of light and healer eye bolezneyPo legend in St. Lucia had beautiful eyes, which she charmed a young man, and that he did not fall into temptation, she put out her eyes and sent them to him on a plate. Due to this legend, the Romance and Germanic countries saint Lucia was considered to protect the world and healer of eye diseases.
However, in the rituals and beliefs of many countries preserved the memory and about the "Witch" bottom — the bottom of the St. Lucie. According to some legends the holy Lucius witches churning under bridges, oil, dancing at the crossroads and can "danced" got them men and boys to death, the night walk in white veils and with buckets in hand, going to the Sabbath.
Accordingly, efforts and a variety of measures to protect people and their environment from the witches. For example, like all evil spirits, witches were driven out of the village noise, whistling, knocking, ringing of bells, shots of a whip. To protect against the harmful effects of witches used garlic: it ate themselves and denied food for cattle, and rubbed them forehead, hands and feet, rubbed his juice walls painted cribs and garlic or tar crosses over the entrance to the barn and the house.
As used amulets and various prohibitions. For example, Lucius forbidden to spin and sew (otherwise are believed to double up your fingers, work will begin to deteriorate, the hens will cease to be carried, and in lactating women who violated the ban, according to popular belief, inflamed breasts), wash, bake bread, work on horses, break or break anything.
The Twelve Days of Saint Lucia's Day to Christmas as a time of presence close to people of certain supernatural beings, where the boundary between the human world and "the next world" as it were thinner, could not be better suited for divination. Wondered about the weather, about the future of the crop, of the fate of marriage ... Divination all nations are different.

There are several John Lavelys that I have found including Margaret' brother (1792-1861), his son John (1825-1874), Philip Jr.'s son John (1829-?) and several others in later generations but none earlier then these. Since Margaret was born in Maryland he would have showed up somewere there. The William Cline Holmes reference is interesting.One possible explanation is that Philip's full name was John Philip and that in accordace with German custom he went by the name of Philip.

President Trump didn't even make it to 100 days before blatantly betraying the American people…
It's not that we're surprised, we've been warning about this for a long time now, but dragging the American people into more war and specifically into a larger world war are completely outrageous.
Every American should be outraged; and Donald Trump should be the most quickly impeached and removed president in American history.
(Not that anyone will hold their breath for Congress to do something moral or right…)
Not only did POTUS Trump take the bait on the ludicrous false flag event billed as "Assad's chemical attack on children" and almost immediately initiate a strike against Syria (a strike US ships were already waiting on the ready to commit before the supposed chemical attack even took place), but he is simultaneously meeting with the president of China reportedly to clear what we're told will may be a preemptive strike against North Korea as well.
It is now clear that a strike against North Korea is not just rhetoric and talk, but something that could actually happen without a moment's notice, even to Congress.
Will someone not draw up the articles for impeachment and get the ball rolling?
They didn't hear him talk about murdering people during the election? Maybe they should demand his impeachment now. https://t.co/QmEDDCGEhv

At the time, I was strongly in favor of impeaching George W. Bush for illegal war and related crimes against the American people, the Constitution and humanity at large.
Now today, President Trump is proving that he is, and plans to be, a George W. Bush II on steroids who will initiate war at a time chosen by his most intimate backers whenever they feel like it.
He is a continuation of the establishment's war machine, not a monkey wrench in their plans. In an era of in-your-face fake news, why people believed the mainstream media when they made it seem like Trump was a problem for the establishment — when the mainstream media lies about everything else — is beyond us at this point. There is no such thing as bad press. Today, media outlets sternly against Trump are suddenly all for him now because he bombed Syria. Liar Brian Williams even referred to the unconstitutional strike as "beautiful".
If you haven't done so yet, please meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Throughout The Car Industry
Ten Best SUVs Under $25K
"Far more flexible than a sedan but more affordable, maneuverable, and fuel-efficient than a larger SUV, today's compact SUV is a masterful mix of practicality," describes Kelley Blue Book on its website KBB.com. Indeed, the small SUV, commonly known as the crossover or CUV, has been a popular and growing segment of the auto market. With an increasing number of options to choose from, it can be difficult to find the right one. KBB has identified the 10 choices that it believes are better than the rest.
Kelley Blue Book released its "10 Best SUVs Under $25,000" last month, giving readers a guide of some of the top affordable small SUV options. Eight of the 10 models are first-year or completely redesigned new models, giving buyers an incentive to consider some of the freshest hardware on the market. The top picks follow.
2013 Buick Encore- KBB raves about the Encore's fuel efficiency in both front- and all-wheel drive and also lauds it for being "comfortable, maneuverable, well-finished" and reasonably priced. The compact Encore starts at $24,200 (before destination charge) and uses a 138-hp 1.4-liter Ecotec turbo engine for an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined.
2013 Volkswagen Tiguan- Thanks to a starting price around $24,000, KBB puts forth the argument that the Tiguan could be considered the "most affordable premium SUV on the market." As that descriptor implies, the organization is impressed with the Tiguan's level of driving refinement and interior luxury.
2013 Jeep Wrangler- Quite a departure from the semi-premium Tiguan, KBB's next selection is the venerable off-road warrior known as the Wrangler. It puts "the quintessential off-roader" on the list due to its unique burly design and off-road heritage. The Wrangler comes in numerous packages, equipping it for everyone from off-road wannabes to Moab and Rubicon regulars. It starts at $22,295 before destination and other fees.
2014 Subaru Forester- The new Forester, which was introduced at the LA Auto Show, makes KBB's list because of its "roomier and more refined inside" and "standard and sophisticated all-wheel drive system now better balanced by improved fuel economy." The 2014 Forester starts at $21,995 before fees and boasts 27 mpg combined when equipped with the base-level 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer and 25 mpg combined with the 2.0-liter turbo engine.
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport- Not the first award for the Santa Fe Sport, KBB's designation comes from the SUV's comfortable roomy interior and features. KBB calls it "more elegant than any Hyundai SUV before it."
2014 Kia Sorento- KBB praises the Sorento for its ability to transport seven while maintaining a manageable and svelte exterior package. It also mentions the fuel efficient engine, styling, and long warranty as selling points.
2013 Toyota RAV4- KBB believes the original crossover still belongs on the list of top choices due to its redesigned styling and new features and technologies. The 2013 RAV4 starts at $23,300 before fees and gets 26 mpg combined in base 2WD trim. The base model includes Display Audio with integrated backup camera.
The 2014 Ford Escape, 2014 Mazda CX-5, and 2013 Honda CR-V round out KBB's list. Find out more information about what pushed each model onto the list via the source link below.

24 Boats Launched on the Feather River Record-setting River Tour Ends at Nelson Slough
July 26 Feather River Trip: Morning launch at Boyd's Pump Boat Ramp. Photo by River Partners staff.
River Partners' first 12-mile paddle ended successfully at the Nelson Slough Unit of the Feather River Wildlife Area on Saturday, July 26.
Thankful for the relatively smoke-free air, about 31 kayakers and canoers launched from Boyd's Pump Boat Ramp, south of Yuba City and paddled for five hours down this scenic stretch of the Feather River.
The group took out near the Hwy 99 bridge in Nicolaus and enjoyed a short walk through Nelson Slough – a future restoration site – while River Partners' field staff transported the 24 canoes and kayaks to the parking area.
Originally scheduled for June 28, only seven days after the start of the Butte Lightning Fires, the trip was postponed 30 days to allow for the air quality to improve.

"Except for some haze which came in after the lunch break, we had great paddling weather," said Julie Pokrandt, Development Director. "It feels like our river tour season has lost half the summer, but we hope to make up for it by scheduling two or three more trips in September and October. Since the air quality changes on a daily basis, we'll post future paddling trips and updates on our website: www.RiverPartners.org."

How surprising isn't it that in taking care priority list, we put our self in lower most position and sometime does not include ourselves in the list. We want to be at top position, in priority list of others; but put ourselves, in lower most position; in our own priority list. It is not that, we do not face harms and damages of avoiding our self-care.
We do face, those harms and damages; but still make mistake of avoiding ourselves again and again. So, enough is enough; how long you will make yourself suffer damages; by doing mistake of avoiding self-care.It is time, you should make your self-care at top position, in your own priority list. And, what benefits self-care will give you back, are listed below-
Yes, 1st benefit, 1st return gift; which self-care, will give you is that it will make your thinking positive. When you say no to your self-care again and again, in mind to yourself; then it gradually takes shape of negative thinking, in your mind. So, right way to abolish this negative thinking, is by cutting roots; from which it develops. And, those roots are, "Saying no to self-care". So, stop saying no to self-care and start saying, "Yes to self-care". And, when you keep doing self-care; you will notice and feel that it is making your thinking positive.
Yes, likewise, self-care makes your thinking positive; similarly do, it keeps your body and mind in good health. It do it,because when you are on self-care mission; then your start taking those steps, which help in maintaining good physical and mental health; which earlier you were not taking, when you were avoiding self-care.
This is the 3rd return gift or 3rd benefit, which self-care gives you. This benefit, is sure to occur; because when you are physically healthy and emotionally healthy and no negative thinking disturbing your sleep; then your sleep will definitely improve and nothing can stop you from having sound sleep. So, do self-care to have improved sleep.
Yes self-care, not only removes negative thinking and disturbed sleep patterns; but also removes, physical and mental stress; out of whole body, of whole day. But, if you would not do self-care of yourself; then it will bring, these aliment back; which it removes when done.
Detoxify your human body is the main task; which pollution full environment of today's era demands. And, self-care will give you this 5th return gift; that it detoxify your human body.

The GK Studio Limited offers a new spin on Cordobas ultimate gigging instrument. Based on the success of its sister models, the GK Studio Limited features a solid European spruce top and striking ziricote back and sides. Accented with olive green and gray highlights, ziricote provides a rich, smooth sound that fills a room.
This nylon string guitar comes equipped with a soft cutaway and Fishman Presys Blend pickup. The GK Studio Limited is a flamenco guitar made for the stage, constructed with a slightly thinner body depth, neck, and nut width than a traditional Spanish guitar. The neck is designed to have little or no relief, offering low action for ease of comfort and quick playability.
For flamenco players, this model offers a bassier and more robust tone in contrast to the bright, snappy sound of ˜blanca flamenco guitars, but any guitarist looking for a new tone to add to the repertoire will feel right at home with the GK Studio Limited. With its comfortable body shape and unique tonewood combination, this model is the perfect choice for exploring the nuances in sound that can only be captured with nylon strings.
Like every Cordoba guitar, this model also has a two-way truss rod built into the neck. Other premium features include a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, high gloss finish, clear golpeadores (tap plates), and Savarez Cristal Corum strings.
The GK Studio Limited includes Cordobas deluxe gig bag.

Summer Vacation--Off to a Good Start!
Today is hump day during our first week of summer vacation and so far so good. The kids and I are definitely in a summer state of mind. We are not in a hurry to go anywhere. Aside from a couple of small activities on the daily calendar we are easing into summer. And I'm definitely embracing our laid back lifestyle.
Our week started with a very lazy Monday. I crawled out of bed at 8:30 and stayed in my robe until 10:30 a.m.--LOVE IT!! My kids slept in too. We all lolled around in our pjs until mid-morning. By 11 a.m. we were having brunch and soon after we were finally getting ready for the day. On the agenda, 1/2 hour swimming lesson and later in the afternoon a Karate lesson and that was it. Tuesday, was pretty much a Groundhog Day--same slow start, same activities.
Today, however was a bit more hectic--an a.m. Zumba class for me (I can't be too much of a slug), a visit to the community pool, a quick work meeting, swimming, Karate and a bbq. I began to feel the tension rising in my shoulders and neck with all that rushing around. My summer state of mind was flying out the window. My hurry up and get moving, high-pitched mommy voice was back on. Uh, oh.....I need to get back my summer slo-mo mojo. I'm only 3 days in!!
Note to self: do not schedule more than two things per day.

Kim Kardashian will sit out Paris Fashion Week this month (Feb17), because she's not ready to return to the city so soon after her armed robbery ordeal in October (16).
Kim's representative has confirmed to U.S. TV show Entertainment Tonight the reality star won't be in the French capital for the city's landmark designer showcase, although her sister Kendall Jenner is expected to walk the runway at a few different shows during the event which runs until 7 March (17).
A source close to Kim told the show the star is "relieved" her dealings "went fine" earlier this month (Feb17), when she met with the French judge overseeing the upcoming Paris robbery trial, who had traveled to meet her in New York City. She spent two days discussing the terrifying ordeal, which took place during Paris Fashion Week in October.
Kim was bound, gagged and held at gunpoint as thugs robbed her of millions of dollars' worth of jewelry, including a $4 million (GBP3.2 million) ring. The French legal system does not require victims of criminal cases to return to the country to testify.
"It was obviously a little traumatic talking about it again, but the authorities have been incredible," the source revealed. "Kim is relieved this is all coming to an end."
Kim did have some fashion fun during New York Fashion Week on Wednesday (15Feb17), attending Kanye's Yeezy Season 5 show.
Last month (Jan17), another source close to Kim and Kanye also revealed the pair has changed its lifestyle significantly since both Kim's robbery and Kanye's hospitalization last year (Nov16) - after he suffered a breakdown.
"Kim's style has definitely turned more low key," noted the source. "She's not feeling like she wants to be as made up as she used to be."

Reading and Writing are the most communicative symbol systems for AAC users, yet fewer than 50% of children using AAC learn to read. In this study, 3 nonverbal and nonliterate 5-8 year old children read Phonic Faces Alphabet-Storybooks in e-book format for some alphabet letters and traditional alphabet books in e-book format. During Phase 1 (following a baseline), the letters taught using Phonic Faces immediately went up to mastery or near mastery on daily probes while the alternate letters remained unchanged until near the end of the cycle. During Phase 2, the treatments were reversed, and again immediate changes were shown for the letters previously taught using traditional alphabet books using Phonic Faces. Results on a standardized test (The Test of Phonological Awareness) showed scores increasing from +1 to +2.9 sd on measures of phonemic awareness and letter-sound knowledge. All measures (daily probes and standardized test measures) were significant.

How hot water and ice cubes are beating batteries in the energy storage game
One can be forgiven for thinking that the cheapest and best energy storage options are lithium-ion batteries. After a year of record-setting growth and numerous high-profile battery installations in California and across the country, batteries seem to be everywhere in the media. And while Li-Ion batteries certainly hold immense promise and these new developments are indeed exciting, thermal storage continues to quietly gain market traction and provide many of the same energy storage benefits at a fraction the cost. In just the last few weeks, a number of interesting articles, studies, and projects have been getting attention, including:
A recent article in Utility Dive outlines the benefits of bundling residential water heaters into massive virtual batteries that can provide grid and customer benefits, including the potential for more renewables integration and greater stability during times of grid stress. The article also outlines the efforts of several leading utilities on this front. All these benefits come at a fraction the cost of batteries by utilizing something that millions of consumers have in their basements: electric water heaters. More info on these project is available here.
Meanwhile, on Nantucket Island, grid operators were mulling alternatives to building a $100 million undersea transmission line. They decided to approach Ice Energy about a residential product that has been featured on in ETCC news in the past: a residential air conditioning systems that freezes liquid overnight when grid demands are low and uses that frozen block of ice to provide very low-power cooling mid-day. More details on that project can also be found in Utility Dive, here.
These are just two examples of thermal storage emerging as a viable, affordable means of energy storage that is ready to go today, as Li-Ion and other batteries continue to mature.
