Straighter Teeth & Easier Treatment with Invisalign™
Choosing to straighten your teeth is a big decision that affects not only your appearance, but your lifestyle as well. As an adult, you may be looking to improve your smile for business and social reasons, or even for a special occasion like your wedding day. Perhaps you're a teen or the parent of a teen looking for an effective yet modern-day orthodontic solution. Either way, Invisalign™ can provide a simple way to accomplish this without having to put your life on hold. Take a moment to learn more about the entire Invisalign treatment process and how it can help you. Drs. Vaca and Kirby are passionate about the benefits achieved through the Invisalign process. Let them guide you in your decision to regain a beautiful smile and self-confidence. You'll be glad you did! To get started, simply contact Vaca & Kirby Dental in Longview today. We'll schedule a consultation appointment to help you determine whether or not Invisalign is the right orthodontic solution for you.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign™ takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of clear plastic alignment trays created for you and only you. These trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you will wear over your teeth. Each set of alignment trays represents the positioning of your teeth one step closer to your ideal smile alignment. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place based on the exact movements your dentist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten with frequent orthodontic visits, which will save you a large amount of time over the course of treatment. You'll need to visit our office every six to eight weeks for checkup visits to ensure your smile is moving into position according to the treatment plan. You just wear each set of alignment trays and pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks until your treatment is complete. You'll achieve your desired smile alignment with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won't even know you're straightening your teeth. You'll look and feel great throughout the course of your orthodontics treatments.
What Orthodontic Treatments are Possible with Invisalign?
In the past, only the most basic orthodontic solutions were possible with Invisalign clear braces, but today, we can use Invisalign orthodontics to reshape smiles and even realign teeth with severe over, under, or crossbite. Traditional clear alignment tray orthodontics are only beneficial to realign slightly misaligned teeth and to even out the spacing of teeth that are crowded or too far apart. We can use elastics attached to tooth-colored nobs on teeth to shift the entire alignment of the bite. These elastics function much the same way that elastic bands attached to traditional orthodontic brackets do. They can be adjusted to place pressure that shifts the entire bite together rather than just moving individual teeth the way that traditional Invisalign treatment did.
Benefits of Invisalign Compared with Traditional Braces
Unlike traditional bracket and wire braces, patients who choose to straighten their smiles with Invisalign orthodontics can expect to experience a wide range of benefits, including:
- Saved time – throughout the course of treatment, patients will not need to visit the office as frequently as they would for bracket and wire adjustments at their orthodontist's office. They also save overall treatment time. Invisalign orthodontic alignment is completed in about twelve months compared with traditional bracket and wire braces that can take 24 months or longer.
- No hassle – patients can remove their Invisalign trays at any time, so there's no need to worry about changing your diet or oral hygiene routine during Invisalign treatment. Simply remove your aligner trays and enjoy your favorite meals and brush and floss as usual.
- Comfort – bracket and wire braces can irritate soft tissue in addition to the discomfort patients experience directly following an adjustment. When you first switch to a new set of Invisalign trays, you can experience some discomfort. However, there's no soft tissue irritation, and patients report that Invisalign is much more comfortable overall compared with traditional braces.
- Improved oral health – patients who straighten their smiles with Invisalign will be able to keep their smiles healthy throughout the treatment without changing their regular oral hygiene routines. Following orthodontic alignment, patients are also more likely to maintain healthy smiles. Straighter smiles evenly displace pressure on teeth, so you are less likely to chip or crack a tooth that receives greater pressure. Evenly spaced and properly positioned teeth are also easier to keep cleaning, reducing your risk for tooth decay and gum disease.
Who Should Consider Invisalign Orthodontics?
Invisalign clear braces are effective to treat patients with even the most advanced orthodontic alignment concerns. Any patient who wants to straighten their teeth should consider Invisalign clear braces. Patients who are good candidates for Invisalign include:
- Those who do not have the time in their schedules for frequent orthodontic adjustments or who want to complete orthodontic treatment more quickly may want to consider Invisalign
- Those who play a wind instrument or contact sport may benefit from treatment with Invisalign to avoid unnecessary discomfort or damage that can occur when brackets and wires irritate soft tissue
- Patients who want to achieve straighter, healthier smiles but don't want to adversely impact their appearance with metal brackets and wires
Will I Need a Retainer?
Yes. You will still need to wear a retainer following Invisalign treatment. After any form of orthodontic treatment, your teeth have shifted into a new placement, but it takes time for the underlying supportive bone and soft tissue to reattach to the tooth roots to hold the teeth in their new positions. By wearing retainers for a year or longer, the supportive alveolar bone tissue will harden around the tooth roots to anchor them into position. The gum tissue also reattaches to the underlying structures of teeth. You'll need to wear your retainer all day for about six months to a year. Then, you can begin wearing the retainers only during sleep for about year, and eventually, you will only need to wear the retainers a few nights a week. Finally, you won't need to wear your retainer at all.
When you're considering how to effectively correct your bite flaws, the thought of wearing metal braces may appear to be the only available route. This gives you flashbacks of those awkward high school days. Is there a solution that's more suitable for adult life? Thankfully, there's a better way to get the smile you want – with Invisalign clear aligners. When you visit Vaca & Kirby Dental in Longview to have your bite corrected, either Dr. Vaca or Dr. Kirby will make sure you leave with a dazzling set of teeth. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and to get on the path to smile perfection!

Approximately 5% of school-aged children have ADHD, with the ration of boys to girls at 9:1.
Inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are the key behaviors of ADHD. It is normal for all children to be inattentive, hyperactive, or impulsive sometimes, but for children with ADHD, these behaviors are more severe and occur more often. To be diagnosed with the disorder, a child must have symptoms for 6 or more months and to a degree that is greater than other children of the same age.
Children who have symptoms of inattention may:
• Be easily distracted, miss details, forget things, and frequently switch from one activity to another
• Have difficulty focusing on one thing
• Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless they are doing something enjoyable
• Have difficulty focusing attention on organizing and completing a task or learning something new
• Have trouble completing or turning in homework assignments, often losing things (e.g., pencils, toys, assignments) needed to complete tasks or activities
• Not seem to listen when spoken to
• Daydream, become easily confused, and move slowly
• Have difficulty processing information as quickly and accurately as others
• Struggle to follow instructions.
Children who have symptoms of hyperactivity may:
• Fidget and squirm in their seats
• Talk nonstop
• Dash around, touching or playing with anything and everything in sight
• Have trouble sitting still during dinner, school, and story time
• Be constantly in motion
• Have difficulty doing quiet tasks or activities.
Children who have symptoms of impulsivity may:
• Be very impatient
• Blurt out inappropriate comments, show their emotions without restraint, and act without regard for consequences
• Have difficulty waiting for things they want or waiting their turn in games
• Often interrupt conversations or others' activities.
Parents and teachers can miss the fact that children with symptoms of inattention have the disorder because they are often quiet and less likely to act out. They may sit quietly, seeming to work, but they are often not paying attention to what they are doing. They may get along well with other children, compared with those with the other subtypes, who tend to have social problems. But children with the inattentive kind of ADHD are not the only ones whose disorders can be missed. For example, adults may think that children with the hyperactive and impulsive subtypes just have emotional or diskiplinary problems.

Okay, this is cool, and potentially annoying at the same time. ZIOSK is a portable and wireless hub that are being tested at Chili's restaurants.
IT"S COOL- because you can order food and drinks directly instead of wondering where your server wandered off to. You can even tab-out, swipe your card, and pay the bill in a flash. It even prints out the receipt right there. That is super-convenient and a feature I did and would use…and is needed in EVERY restaurant.
It also has a free USA TODAY APP that you can use to read the news while you wait on your food. This is super-cool and a great conversation starter.
IT's POSSIBLY ANNOYING – It has several games and apps you can play on the machine for $1.99. I suppose if you have kids to entertain or something, but that seems kinda weak to charge a fee to play. Maybe if the game allowed me to win a discount on my order or points towards something…maybe. Guess they have to off-set the costs somehow. Another thing that is kinda odd- is that it has a camera in it. The Ziosk website says it's so you can "like, or check-in on Facebook/twitter or take pictures at the table and upload them". Isn't that what we all have smart-phones for? Not sure I want to load all my photos and personal info into a random machine at a restaurant.
Paragraph above aside – the coolness outweighs the annoying by a MILE.

Crafting your own wine is a gratifying and delicious endeavor, but can be expensive for those who are first starting out. Once you've made a batch, you will need proper containers in which to store the wine. Though stores will sell you new bottles for this purpose, you can save some money by reusing any old screw-top wine bottles you already own, with just a little preparation.
Part 1
Stripping the Bottle of Labels and Skirt
1Remove the skirt from the bottle. Many screw-top wine bottles come with a collar or skirt attached to the neck of the bottle. These skirts help regulate the amount of oxygen that can reach the wine, and are meant to emulate the foil wrap found on traditional corked bottles. These skirts are often made of a lightweight metal such as tin or aluminum. To remove the skirt:
- Twist off the foil along with the cap. Thinner skirts can often be removed with the cap by gripping the skirt along the base and giving a quick twist, opening the cap and loosening the skirt all at once. Remove in one piece.
- Pry the skirt away with a screwdriver or other flat tool. Should the skirt remain on the bottle after opening, you may need to pry it away. Use a wedged tool such a screwdriver to create a flap on the skirt. Continue to pry with the screwdriver, or use pliers to pull away the skirt.
- Cut the skirt away with a sharp knife. Depending on the thickness of the skirt, a sharp knife can create an incisive flap, which can be used to peel the skirt away. Be careful when using knives or screwdrivers to avoid a slip of the hand and injury.
2Remove the labels from the bottle by soaking. For keeping track of your wine and storing them properly, you'll want to make sure you don't get confused by incorrect labeling. Soaking the bottles in a few homemade solutions is a simple way of removing labels from bottles and requires just a few household items.
- Fill a bucket with water.
- Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda for every 2 cups of water; alternatively, add 1/4 cup of ammonia.
- Soak the bottles in the bucket for 30 minutes.
- Labels will detach while soaking.
- Manually peel off any labels that do not fully detach. Gloves recommended if soaking in ammonia.
3Remove the labels from the bottle through heat. If you want to save the labels from your bottles for later use, you can remove them safely by using heat.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Hold the wine bottle over the boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes.
- The glue will soften. Carefully remove label from the bottle with your hands (may be hot).
- Can be steamed for an additional 10 to 15 minutes if the label will not remove.
- Bottles may also be baked in the oven for 10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit to loosen the glue holding the labels.[1]
Part 2
Cleaning and disinfecting the bottle
1Remove remaining residue. Some labels will leave a film of residue on the bottle after they have been removed. This residue can often be removed with soap and warm water, and gentle scrubbing with a dish-safe abrasive such as a scrubbing pad. Steel wool may also work, but can run the risk of scratching the bottle.
2Sterilize the bottle. Regular cleaning methods of soap and water will not always destroy the bacteria and other germs that can remain in the bottle. Since you are storing wine in these bottles for a period of time, it is essential to ensure the bottle is as sterile as possible.
- Purchase a water-mixable oxygenating cleaner.
- Mix the solution as per the instructions provided on the cleaner.
- Submerge the bottles in the solution according to instructions.
- Once finished soaking, allow to dry. Sanitation occurs while the bottle is drying.[2]
3Remove spots and stains on inside of the bottle. Cleaning the inside of a bottle so that it is spot-free can be difficult. Two solutions can help remove those stains:
- Fill the wine bottle one-quarter full with uncooked rice.
- Add enough liquid soap to fill the bottle half way.
- Fill the remainder of the bottle with hot water.
- Replace screw-top or stop the opening of the bottle and shake vigorously for several minutes.
- Allow the water to cool.
- Pour out the contents of the bottle. [3]
- Alternatively, you can use a bottle brush along with soap and water to scrub the inside of the bottle.[4]
Part 3
Bottling your wine
1Create a label for your wine. How you label your wine is entirely up to you. There are many resources for purchasing wine label templates or even customizing a wine label, for a price. However, nothing is stopping you from using masking tape and a marker in order to label your wine. Note that the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau has several requirements for wine labeling in the United States (such as vintage date, alcohol content and declaration of sulfites), so keep this in mind if you plan on selling your wine.[5]
2Fill the bottle with wine. Insert your home-grown wine into the bottles in accordance with how the wine was prepared. You may also fill the bottles at your local vintner, for a price.
3Close the bottle with a screw-top. As you are reusing a screw-top bottle, you may still have the original top for the bottle. This screw cap can be reused for sealing your wine. However, note that since the original seal was broken, recreating the same air tight conditions will be difficult, if not impossible, and thus it cannot be guaranteed that air and bacteria will not be able to enter the bottle.[6] As such, reusing screw-top bottles best lends itself to short-term storage.
4Close the bottle by corking (not recommended). Reused screw-top bottles can be corked for longer term storage, but this is generally not advised, as screw-top bottles are not made to support corks, and are much more prone to breaking during the process. If you would like to cork your bottle, do the following:
- Purchase a corker. Corkers are divided into smaller hand models, and larger bench or floor models. Bench and floor models allow for quicker corking and are ideal for corking a large quantity of bottles. Hand models are more suited for smaller batches of bottles.
- Prepare your cork. Corks are hard and rigid upon purchase and need to be softened before being inserted into the bottle. Soak the corks in water for several minutes before corking in order to provide pliability to the corks. They may also be steamed in a pan of water for 1 to 3 minutes until pliable to the touch.
- Once pliable, use the corker to insert the cork into the bottle.
- Leave bottles standing up-right between 1 and 2 days to give the corks time to re-expand and create a seal in the neck of the bottle.[7]
Community Q&A
QuestionWhen re-using screw-top bottles to store homemade red wine, should the bottles be stored upright, or can they be laid flat or stored in a rack?Community AnswerLay on the side to see if caps are leaking. Leave for at least three days and replace any cap that you notice leaking.
QuestionOnce a cork is soaked in water, will it fit into a reused screw top bottle?Community AnswerIt should, but don't force it, or you could damage the bottle's neck. You can always taper a cork to get a better fit by sanding down one end of a dry cork before soaking.

Today is a good day. I found out an awesome fact!🌟 🌟 🌟 I love vinegar (that is not THE FACT), and I add it to my salads, to some of my dishes, and I love picked veggies (I even drink the juice of the jar. For me it seems totally normal, but for some reasons people usually look at me odd). So, the awesome fact is that vinegar indeed helps to lose weight (I had suspicion, since it is an acid after all) and not in some extreme and unhealthy way. The experiment was conducted to help people with diabetes (and this is a big problem in America) and see how vinegar can help them (if you are interested to read more about an experiment, you can follow to the link here). Drinking vinegar helped reduce the usual blood sugar spikes in the insulin-resistant subjects (insulin sensitivity improved by 19%). It helped the diabetics to a lesser extent. My main point is not about diabetes though, but about weight loss. The experiment didn't help very much with diabetes, but patients dropped pounds of weight. Maybe it is not as good to fight diabetes, but certainly good for your waist line. Funny that this fact is not publicly known. Maybe because, as with many other "cheap-natural-products", vinegar costs less than 20$, while medications, while other programs and medications cost 10-20 times more. Way to make people pay somebody else's houses on Hawaii. Whatever it is, having a spoon of 5% vinegar before meal (especially high-carbs meal!) is a worthy shot, in my opinion. I will do it and even will bring a bottle of vinegar to work! Hopefully, in a month or two, I will be able to give you my "report" on that matter.
Now, since we are on topic of vinegar, let's talk about more benefits!
1. Vinegar is a source of dietary polyphenols, which are antioxidants and defend against oxidative stress. Apple cider vinegar induced a protective effect against erythrocyte, kidney, and liver oxidative injury, and lowered the serum lipid levels (at least in mice)
2. A case-control study demonstrated that vinegar ingestion was associated with a decreased risk for esophageal cancer. Because acetic acid in vinegar forms acetate ions in the stomach, it may possess antitumor effects.
3. According to a study, consumption of oil and vinegar salad dressings (five to six times or more per week) significantly lowered the risk for fatal ischemic heart disease in women participants (men, I am pretty sure it would help you too!)
4. Apple cider vinegar also helps break up mucus by its natural antihistamine effect, so… it can help with stuffy nose and allergies!
5. Kidney stones form when a person's urine becomes too acidic and concentrated, forming crystals from the uric acid or oxalates. Vinegar works by alkalizing the urine, thus preventing the formation of kidney stones. Vinegar may even help to break down the ones that are already formed.
6. Apple cider vinegar can help with upset stomach or diarrhea
7. Take a teaspoonful of apple cider vinegar; its sour taste could stop a hiccup in its tracks 😀
8. As soon as you feel the prickle of a sore throat, employ germ-busting apple cider vinegar to help head off the infection at the pass. Turns out, most germs can't survive in the acidic environment vinegar creates. Just mix 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar with 1/4 cup warm water and gargle every hour or so.
9. Also it helps with dandruff, acne, nighttime leg cramps and bad breath.
More detailed information can be found here and here
Of course, nothing is perfect in our world. Some people might have stomach problems, which are incompatible with vinegar. In this case you need to talk to your doctor. Also, DO NOT forget, that you can't consume vinegar acid (or 90%+ vinegar), because as a real acid, it will burn you from inside and it can be even fatal. Some injuries taken from vinegar acid are permanent, so never-ever try to put it in your mouth. Also, according to one case-control study in Serbia, vinegar ingestion was associated with a 4.4-fold greater risk for bladder cancer, so I am not saying that vinegar it is a magical elixir, but it has very strong benefits against low risks.
Conclusion: YES! SO next time when you sip light vinegar and your face will crinkle, these facts from above will help to bring your smile back to your face 😉

This is a lovely spring combination, Aquilegia 'Swan-Lavender' with Euonymus fortunei Emerald Goldand Rhododendron luteum. Creates a bright yellow statement in the border and all are easy to grow.
Aquilegia, common name columbine, easy with spring perennial with delicate flowers. The true beauty of the Aquilegia is not fully shown in the image check out growing Aquilegia. Euonymus is a common garden shrub which means it can get overlooked but many varieties have strong variegated leaves. It is evergreen and fully hardy.
The Rhododendron is deciduous but has the real bonus of being scented. In common with all Rhododendrons it needs acid soil to thrive.
Clematis look good with so many plants in combinations, and on their own as a specimen plant but they are not the easiest of plants to grow. For detailed advice on planting, growing and pruning clematis. Image left shows the early flowering Clematis montana with spring flowering Alliums.
Clematis montana is one of the easier clematis to grow because it only needs pruning when it has grown too large. Unlike the group 2 & 3 clematis which need regular pruning C. montana does not so if you don't like pruning this is the Clematis for you.
Clematis mix well with most garden plants and are especially associated with Roses which is a hard combination to maintain requiring time with pruning. There are over 200 species of clematis with specialist web sites and growers to give advice.
Alliums look fabulous with many spring flowers as the following images show. Alliums are easy to grow and once planted they will come up reliably each year.
In the image Allium hollandicum 'purple sensation' is planted with Euphorbia palustri, a strong combination of lime green and purple.
In this image a different type of effect from planting Allium with Camassia soft blues and purples. Camassia are also a bulb, tolerant of most soils including damp soil and they will tolerate partial shade. The only drawback is that they are ** hardy so many not survive a bad winter and are best with a good mulch before the cold weather.
Still with Allium this is A. Spring plant combination allium christophii and primula 'Harlow car' a lovely combination of the Allium spiky flower head which looks very stylish together with the yellow, red and orange hues of Primula 'harlow car' both are very easy to grow and look lovely in the spring border. Primula are a very wide ranging group of plants and worth checking out as they are long flowering and come in many different colours and sizes; the Harlow car varieties are especially nice a tall candelabra variety.
Plant combinations Geranium (Cranesbill) and Achemilla mollis (Lady's Mantle)
An easy combination of plants both of which are perennial and fully hardy. A contrasting combination of purple and lime green. The purple flower is a hardy Geranium, which will grow in most soil conditions including light shade; further growing information on Geraniums. The lime green is Achemilla mollis, again easy to grow, possibly too easy as a bit of a self seeder but equally easy to remove where it is not wanted. Further growing information on Achemilla.

How to Make an Easter Wreath
Hop into creativity in spring with this simple DIY Easter wreath tutorial from Pottery Barn Kids. We'll give you a basic guide to follow so you can use whatever Easter wreath ideas come to mind. Whether you want to add adorable bunnies or beautiful spring flowers, you can follow this guide to learn how to make Easter wreaths in the style of your choosing. With all the eggs, ribbons and flowers on display at this time of year, it's easy to find the right mix of items to delight your kids and make your home look more festive and seasonal.
Gather these items for your wreath. You can choose whatever size, color and styles you'd like for the decorative elements, but be sure to have the specific craft supplies you need on hand.
- 1 premade grapevine wreath
- Small, lightweight Easter craft items – bunny figurines, mushroom birds, butterfly picks, faux flowers and plastic eggs are all great choices
- 2 or more yards of accent ribbon – use a variety of coordinating pastel colors if you want a more eclectic wreath
- Scissors
- Floral wire
- Hot glue gun
- Wire cutters (optional)
Arrange Your Supplies
Start your wreath-making process with an organized approach. You can get everything ready to go – take any labels or tags off your wreath supplies and trim any loose ends you don't want to see on your finished products. Now's a good time to plug in your hot glue gun and make sure your scissors can cut smoothly through your floral wire. If it doesn't cut easily, you can use wire cutters instead. If any of your decorations are packaged up, unwrap them and arrange them on your work surface so you can start planning.
Come Up with Your Plan
Now that you have all your supplies ready to go, it's a great time to develop your game plan. You may have more decorative items than you'll end up using, so come up with a general layout before you start sticking things to your Easter wreath. Wreaths look great when they're decorated with tight groupings of decorative items, but feel free to place each item at an equally spaced interval if you love that look.
It's also helpful to think about whether you want to have your decorations spread out across the entire wreath or grouped in specific areas. If you want to anchor your wreath design in a specific area, you can create a stylish off-center arrangement that embraces asymmetry or build your wreath out from the top or bottom. Try holding your Easter decorations up to the wreath before attaching them to see what looks best. You might even want to lay your decorations out in a circular shape on your flat work surface before you start working on the wreath itself. Do what feels most comfortable; you can spend several minutes planning or just go for it and improvise your way to decorative success.
Decide How to Use Your Ribbon
Ribbons can be both a foundation and a finishing touch on a wreath. If you're doing a simple arrangement of decorative items grouped in one place, you might want to wrap a ribbon around your wreath to add some color and pattern throughout the entire circle. You can also simply tie a neat bow around one part of your Easter wreath or use it to create a loop at the top for hanging. There are several possibilities to consider, and that's why it's helpful to have plenty of ribbon available when you start.
Put It All Together
You have your game plan in place, and now you can spring into action to complete your beautiful DIY Easter wreath. Use floral wire to create bunches of faux flowers and decorative items – you can stick the wire into the base of mushroom birds and other foam items, or you can use your hot glue gun to affix the wire to the item. Wire is a great choice for this because it's flexible and you can stick it through the wreath's vines to attach securely at the back, but hot glue works well, too.

BC: Archimedes will always be remembered for his search for the truth in subjects such as science and math
FC: Archimedes: Journey to the truth
1: Archimedes was an inspiring Greek scientist and mathematician
2: One of the main innovations he was know for was developing the ratio of pi
3: This list includes some of Archimedes greatest achievements in his journey for the truth
4: Legend has it that the king of Sparta order a blacksmith to make a crown out of pure gold. After the crown was made, the king of Sparta thought that the crown wasn't pure gold and that the blacksmith replaced some of the gold with metal. Therefore, the king offered a reward to anyone who could find out if the crown was pure or not. While taking a bath, our hero, Archimedes discovered how to measure the density and solved the problem. Afterwards, the blacksmith was put to death and Archimedes was rewarded
5: Archimedes created a principle stating that the buoyant force acting on a submerged or floating object is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
6: One of Archimedes inventions was the Archimedes screw, which transfered water from one place to another conveniently
7: An interesting invention made by Archimedes was called, "The Archimedes Claw." This invention was made to protect a city from a ship by having a lever with a hook on one side and a pulley on the other. The invention was made to sink ships by tipping them over
8: Reflection | There were many positives and negatives throughout my project. Primarily, mix book was an easy program to use, which allowed me to do more complex configuration with ease. However, a negative was technical difficulties as mix book encountered problems as the website didn't work at times. Plus, some of the picture didn't pop up when added to the project. Improvements for next time include lengthier paragraphs and including more inventions of Archimedes. Overall, I believe I had a great project that depicted Archimedes in many ways with his journey for the truth.

Do you get the REI or EMS catalog this time of year? You know the one with the runners clad in fleece vests wearing moisture wicking shirts underneath, lycra tights, a festive ski cap and gloves? They are striding across open terrain with the signature puffs of white streaming out of their mouths as they exhale into the cold winter air. That is what it is like running in Walla Walla during the winter, and a needed breath of fresh air for this transplant from Long Island, NY to Los Angeles, CA.
I love to run, and running in Walla Walla is a treat. It is interesting no matter where I go. The residential areas around campus are perfect for banging out a few miles before or after the work day. I can go from community to community taking in the architecture of homes built as Walla Walla was establishing a place on the map, and those that have been built in more recent years as Walla Walla has become a destination. The roads are not busy, the terrain is relatively flat and I am bound to come across a park or school at some point, no matter how far I am going.
Just beyond the easily manageable streets of Walla Walla lie the more challenging and picturesque "long runs" worthy of an REI cover which I like to set aside for the weekends or when I just need to get away. Approximately a mile north of campus the infamous wheat fields of the Walla Walla Valley begin to unfold. The miles are laid out along gently winding roads and rolling hills through the "amber waves of grain." The sunrises and sunsets in the open fields are inspiration to go the extra distance. This is the perfect place to lose myself, but not get lost on an "out and back."
When I am feeling adventurous and ready to push my limits the foothills of the Blue Mountains, rising up east of campus, beckon a distinct call. Bennington Lake and the miles of trails, both paved and dirt, flat and steep, have something to offer me all the time. They allow me to return to nature, observe local species and recognize my small place in the world. I can be surprised by the elements, staying sharp and agile amidst the unsure terrain. I always come home exhausted, but refreshed and feeling accomplished.
Running is one of the things that makes coming to Walla Walla even more fun and I know I have not even come close to seeing it all. I'm always looking for some company, so let me know when you are in town. We can explore new routes together. Happy Trails!

I feel really honoured by the views, positive feedback, +1s and shares of my last blogpost :)
The lovely +Alyx Gillett asked some really good questions so I thought I share them and my answers with you here:
"I'd be really interested in the ways teachers in your cluster are using them in teaching and learning, as well as your thoughts on comparisons to an iPad?"
The best people to answer this question are probably the teachers themselves (e.g. +Diane Henderson and +Tracey Simeon). How they use the devices in class depends on the age of the students, the teacher and on the context. Generally speaking, the devices have pretty much replaced exercise books (y4-6/8). The schools use GAFE and Teacher Dashboard, and the students have most of their work in their Google Drive. Currently they are running parent courses in preparation for Chromebooks to be sent home.
Comparing iPads and Chromebooks, I believe different Digital Technologies have different purposes, and +Allanah King blogged about this topic just last month here.
If I look at how I personally use both of them, I can tell you I take my iPad mini with me everywhere in my handbag, and I take videos, photos, use apps (play my Smurf Village lol), I can type stuff up etc. I pull my Chromebook out when I know I have more typing to do. It is lightweight, still fits in a bigger handbag, boots up in seconds etc.
In a school environment with shared devices, iPads can be shared by up to say 4 people collaborating on a project / and app, and in my mind a Chromebook is more directed at one person at a time entering text, working on a programme etc. (not saying that you couldn't collaborate with that). In this situation, if you want individual students' work accessible to just them, a Chromebook is certainly easier as when they log in with their account and are straight in their Drive etc., and you can quite easily set Chromebooks up in a COW like system. That's where iPads are more of a personal device in my mind, because you have to go into the individual app (e.g. Drive) to change to your personal account.
So different devices for different purposes, and in my ideal classroom I personally would like to have a mixture to cater for many needs :)
"Any Chromebook essentials you'd suggest?"
In regards to accessories, these are some of the thing I regard as useful:
- Covers: I got myself an iPearl cover (e.g. http://www.ipearl-inc.com/samsung-sc12.html) because I didn't want the plastic surface of my Samsung Chromebook to scratch. I have a couple of sleeves to put it into, one from the GAFE summit, one I made myself - this allows me to keep charger etc. all together.The cluster purchased hard cover sleeves for each Chromebook so they can go back and forth between school and home more safely. Only problem with that is that all cases are black, so they had to come up with ways to mark them so students can tell them apart (I went through the cupboard once to find my boy's - it was the bottom one out of 28 lol).
- Headphones: Like with other 1:1 devices, I suggest every student has their own
- Mouse: My 9y old son asked me to buy him a mouse for his Chromebook. I would have liked to get him a colour one so he can tell it apart from the others but it appears there are few 'cable' mice nowadays, and for students like him I don't think it's a great idea to have a wireless mouse (just another small item that can be lost) so a cheap Logitech mouse it was.
As teachers we often display work on the projector or a screen. As my Chromebook only has HDMI output and many of the schools I work with still have their VGA projectors, I bought an HDMI to VGA adapter. Unfortunately the model I bought doesn't have external power and my Chromebook itself can't power it (however, I have can use the adapter with my Apple TV) - something worth checking out.
I also bought a Chromecast when they first came out (ordered from the US, now available in NZ e.g. check here), attach that to a screen (HDMI again, also wifi) and you can set it up to mirror from your Chromebook to the screen. Recently further development have come out, Chromecast now also casts all apps on my Nexus tablet, and there was talk some other features might come in, too (limiting who can mirror to the Chromecast - the bane of many teachers who have a different classes iPad show up on their Apple TV...)
Please keep the questions coming, I will go looking for the answers when I don't know them :)

World number one Novak Djokovic celebrated his return to competition since becoming a father last week with a ruthless 6-3, 6-4 second round victory over Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber at the Paris Masters on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old defending champion showed the flashes of brilliance, that has seen him win seven Grand Slams, on the way to a third round meeting against either American 13th seed John Isner or French crowd-pleaser Gael Monfils.
The Serbian, whose wife Jelena gave birth to a baby boy Stefan on October 21 and is chasing a third title in Paris, secured early breaks in both sets to lay the foundations for his victory.
"It was very, very good because it's not easy, the first match and being indoors, so I'm very happy," said Djokovic.
"I still don't quite feel 100 per cent physically and the court threw up a lot of high bounces but I played a quality match and was very concentrated.
"It's incredible to be a father and I dedicate this victory to my wife Jelena and Stefan.
"I'm very proud to be a father and I'm very proud of my wife for handling the birth in a great way. She's back home recovering now, with our little boy.
"This was my first match as a father and it can only inspire me to play my best tennis," he added.
Tomas Berdych, who won his one and only Masters title at Bercy in 2005, had too much guile and experience for French wildcard Adrian Mannarino as he advanced in the last match of the day 6-4, 6-7 (3/7), 6-2.
The Czech fifth seed, who is well on course for the season ending ATP World Tour finals in London and a top ten finish for the fifth year in a row, will meet American qualifier Sam Querrey or Spaniard Feliciano Lopez in the last-32.
Earlier, Spanish veteran Tommy Robredo survived a scare before prevailing 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (7/5) over Canada's Vasek Pospisil in a first round match.
Former world number five Robredo was evidently still feeling the effects of reaching the final of the Valencia Open on Sunday where he was beaten by Andy Murray in the longest final of the year.
Robredo, 32 and who has reached three finals this season but lost them all, plays Japanese sixth seed Kei Nishikori in the second round.
French hopes were badly dented when Shanghai Masters finalist and 15th seed Gilles Simon, crashed out in the second round against Spaniard Fernando Verdasco.
The world number 33 broke in the final game to outlast Simon 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 in 1hr 53min.
"It's always the same, I didn't control anything," said a dejected Simon, who was making his ninth straight appearance at Bercy.
"It's a pity, because physically I felt I was fit, I had energy and I could have played a lot.
"I'm extremely disappointed because I like this tournament and I felt I could do well here." added Simon.
- Nail-biting -
The match came down to a nail-biting deciding set that went with serve until Verdasco went 5-4 up and Simon was serving to stay in the match.
The right-hander from Nice faced match point at 30-40 and after a marathon rally hit long as Verdasco claimed a morale-boosting victory and pounded his chest in celebration.
Verdasco will play either former champion and last year's finalist David Ferrer or Belgian talent David Goffin.
The 23-year-old Goffin, who lost the Basel Open final in straight sets against Roger Federer on Sunday but has two ATP wins this season, overpowered Czech Republic world number 29 Lukas Rosol 6-4, 6-3.
Federer gets his campaign underway on Wednesday against Frenchman Jeremy Chardy.

This black bear just can't stay away from a North Leominster neighborhood, said a state Environmental Police officer Tuesday afternoon. The officer said the ear-tagged bear has been tranquilized on seven different occasions over the last several years and moved to more remote areas, but he keeps returning. He was spotted again in the backyard of a home on Nutting Drive just off of Prospect Street after pulling down a bird feeder and eating its contents. He ran off after the officer fired a firecracker gun to scare him off.

GAME> Wednesday, Feb 02 17:46:42 2011 - Winter Night < Blizzard >
MacKeough's Bistro and Bar: Main Bar and Restaurant - Clarke Street: South
Moody without the onslaught of an atrociously misbehaving decorator, this room boasts of darker, personal and private ambience, something to tease the more sensual sides of visiting patrons. Subdued track lighting that dangles overhead - a duo of vermillion bulbs for each private table and a stunning quartet for larger booths - combined with tactically placed chandeliers continue the insinuation of sleek design and mood manipulation.
An exquisite, antique mahogany bar lines the entire back wall, several leather-clad stools dotting along to offer seat for those who are waiting for tables or those who are just here for a drink. An ebon mini grand piano greets patrons just to the left and beginning of this establishment, effectively drowning out any noise from the streets during the hours the restaurant is open with the soft, fluid tones of jazz, blues, and classical music.
"It is done." Robert agrees, turning to lead her to the SUV outside, with a light touch. His energy is slightly warmer, reaching out to soothe and comfort silently, as his own emotions are hidden and kept to himself. "I believe after today's tasks, we should seek out something to eat. In peace." There is very little flexible about that offer, and he drives them to a location…
MaryJane nods her head as she keeps quiet she's been far too emotioanl that she avoids eye contact at the moment. She does move to sit down when they get the some food.
Robert and MJ are seated, quietly and unobtrusively, at a private table. The seriousness of the man's face, the neutrality of his expression, gives nothing away about his feelings. It is later in the evening, and the man holds a menu, considering his options with as much weight to the choice as any other he might make. In the end though, the choice is easier. "Steak." The word is a pronouncement, softly spoken in a low rumbling voice from deep within his chest.
Una's footfalls are quiet, lost to the music that plays within the bar as she enters. A moment is spent to allow her eyes to adjust to the light before she wanders further within.
MaryJane does order a nice wine to go with her steak as she sits back against her table while they are talking quietly. She tilts her head a bit as she thinks a moment to his statements and nods agreeing with them.
Robert's order is requested, adding a beer to it, the waiter losing his attention as he takes a deep breath, glancing first at MJ and then turning, unsubtly, to move his gaze across the bar. The neutral expression does not change, not an atom of emotion showing on his face. "There." The single word is low, to MJ, as the man utterly ignores the waiter.
Una is, currently, oblivious to any attention turned her way. Her steps have brought her to the bar, and she leans up against the mohogany lightly while pulling a wallet out from her back pocket. Her request is a simple one, a straight up shot of Jack.
As he makes his way into the Bistro, Zander shakes his head out and snow begins to fall onto his shoulders. He runs a hand through his hair as he looks around allowing his eyes to adjust to the new lighting.
MaryJane tilts her head a bit as she nods her head to Robert. "Thank you." She says softly before thinking as she sits with Robert at a small private table. They've just ordered dinner and MJ has ordered a drink. Una just happened to come in and well MJ is smelling something about as she looks to Una and then to Robert for a moment.
Robert gives MJ a slow nod as he rises to his feet. He moves slowly towards the woman at the bar, his path bringing him towards her from the doorway, so that he stands between her and it. He moves slowly, casually, as if he intends to order from the bar, stopping just out of arms reach from the woman. He doesn't speak, nor look at her for that moment, lifting a finger to attract the attention of the bar staff.
As he makes his way to sit at an empthy table, Zander plops down in the chair, sliding his coat off as it drapes over the chair behind him. He pulls out his cellphone and sets it down on the table, as the waitress comes over and he says softly, "Water with lemon…a burger med…steak fries with buffalo sauce." His eyes begin to scan the bistro.
Una startles slightly as Robert takes a place down the bar from her. There's a slight widening of her eyes as she tries to, subtly, glance over at him. Her fingers wrap around the shotglass, but she doesn't lift it yet.
MaryJane starts to eat, rather used to eating alone while her friend goes to chat it up with a girl at the bar. She does smile a bit at that while she sidles her knife into the steak and starts to cut it up. She takes bit and starts to chew, mmmm steak is good.
"A beer. And something for my friend here." Robert turns his head slowly, his face neutral, but unthreatening. He keeps his arms resting on the bar, his hands resting with his fingers meshed. "Will you join us for dinner?" The invitation is offered softly, as the man keeps his posture calm, watching her reaction thoughtfully. "I am Robert Moye."
"I'll have what he's drinking," Una decides, since she could use a chaser for her shot, anyways. She turns so that she can look at Robert better, and look towards MaryJane in the process. "I'd hate to intrude." There is a pause, before she offers, "Una Walker."
As his eyes move over towards Robert, Zander cocks an eyebrow. He cocks his head to the side and hmmms as he takes a sip of water.
MaryJane seems to be eating and taking her time enjoying the food. She lets her friend talk to the woman at the bar while moving to sip her wine. Dressed in a suit she knows she's standing out just a bit but coming back from work to this it's hard to change.
"You would not be intruding." Robert takes his bottle of beer, offering her the other, leaving a note on the bar. There is a flicker of wry humor in his eyes then, lurking behind the serious expression. He holds out a hand, indicating MJ at the table. "My treat." The low rumbling words hold an undercurrent of amusement. It is evening, and MJ is sitting at one of the private tables, as Robert stands beside the bar, beside Una, near Zander, to whom Robert is oblivious.
Karmen seems almost underdressed to be here, but be here she does. Clad in her normal black on black, the young woman enters MacKeough's and idly winds her way towards the bar, complete with hands shoved firmly into the front pocket of her hoodie. And upon reaching the said bar, onto a seat she slides as Karmen simply places an order for a soda. She doesn't look towards Robert, not yet, perhaps thirst over riding the need to verbally make her presence known for know.
Zander 's eyes fall on Maryjane, and he cocks his head to the side and hmmms looking her up and down.
Una, beer in one hand, shot in the other, takes a step back away from the bar. A once-over is given to Zander, with the man being so close, before she looks back to Robert. "If…you're certain. I mean, only a fool turns down a free meal." When Karmen ends up at the bar as well, there's a hint of nervousness to her. "Maybe I should just…go." Second thoughts, much?
MaryJane tilts her head as she looks over to Robert and chuckles gently. SHe then moves to face the pair. "You're more than welcome to join." She says as she then sees Karmen and nods her gently as well offering her a place at the table too. SHe moves to take another sip of her wine before noticing the man looking at her. SHe turns her head to Zander and nods to him in a silent greeting.
Robert glances at Karmen, his expression unchanging, as he greets her with a brief nod of his head, "Karmen." The single word is a greeting, neutral, soft. Then he does reach out to Una, using his energy, warm and soothing. "Please join us." He repeats the invitation softly, his voice gentling, lowering in pitch. There is something slightly wolf-like in the tilt of his head, and in the steady, considering gaze. His awareness of MJ draws the man at the bar to his attention, but only for a moment.
"Hello Robert." A faint smile from Karmen to the man, looking briefly at Una, then to MJ, then back to Robert as she simply pays for her drink before plucking it from the bar. Apparently having taken MJ's offer, she simply moves over towards the table now, a sucking of her soda via a straw. A sideways glance to Zander then away, seeming to dismiss him.
As he raises his glass to Maryjane, Zander knocks his phone off the table. His eyes divert down to it instantly as it falls to the ground. Yet, someone with good senses would notice it never hit the ground is and is currently floating a half inch off the ground. Zander sets his drink down and leans down to get his phone.
Robert glances at Karmen, his expression unchanging, as he greets her with a brief nod of his head, "Karmen." The single word is a greeting, neutral, soft. Then he does reach out to Una, using his energy, warm and soothing. "Please join us." He repeats the invitation softly, his voice gentling, lowering in pitch. There is something slightly wolf-like in the tilt of his head, and in the steady, considering gaze. His awareness of MJ draws the man at the bar to his attention, but only for a moment.
"Hello Robert." A faint smile from Karmen to the man, looking briefly at Una, then to MJ, then back to Robert as she simply pays for her drink before plucking it from the bar. Apparently having taken MJ's offer, she simply moves over towards the table now, a sucking of her soda via a straw. A sideways glance to Zander then away, seeming to dismiss him.
As he raises his glass to Maryjane, Zander knocks his phone off the table. His eyes divert down to it instantly as it falls to the ground. Yet, someone with good senses would notice it never hit the ground is and is currently floating a half inch off the ground.'
Asked again, Una finally nods in acceptance. "If you insist," she says, and makes a jutting gesture with her chin that suggests Robert lead the way to the others. Zander, he's given a questioning look before she remarks, casually, "Nice save."
MaryJane smiles to the two women as she asks for two more seats at the table and waits for them to join after the settings are complete. She then nods her head to the man and is rather observant to see that the phone didn't hit the floor. She nods and agrees with Una. "Very nice save sir, glad to see it didn't break." She states to Zander in a pleasant tone.
Zander's save is noted by the steady, considering look of Robert and he narrows his eyes, suspicious and wary for an instant before the neutrality returns, and he walks ahead of Una to the table, his pace easy, covering the small distance easily. "Una Walker. This is MaryJane, our Geri, and Karmen." He takes a seat, selecting the one that allows him to watch the bar, to watch Zander.
As he young man runs a hand through his hair, he mutters something that sounds like a thanks. He takes up his water and begins to sip it. His eyes moving to Una over the rim of his glass.
Karmen doesn't seem to have noticed Zander and his phone save, that or she has no comment on it. Moving to the woman's table she just settles herself in one of the newly arrived chairs as her drink is sat in front of her and her hands stuff back into the pockets of her hoodie. "Karmen Guerrero. Nice to meet you Una." A faint smile to Karmen at this before her eyes drift to MaryJane and once the woman is close enough, she tugs a hand free from her pocket to offer it to the other woman. "Nice to finally meet you. I have been waiting for time we could both speak. I am glad it is sooner than later."
Una takes a seat, but it's one that leaves her with room to make a sudden exit, should she desire it. "A pleasure to meet you both," she says quietly, hand not offered just yet. Seated, now she downs the shot of Jack like a pro, followed by a drink from her bottle of beer.
MaryJane watches the two women and then looks to Karmen as she talks. Her head dips down in a nod as she acknowledges what Karmen is saying. "Yes, I agree. It's very nice to meet you. I do apologize I couldn't speak last night, I was working a difficult case for one of my patients." She says taking the woman's hand and shaking it firmly. When the handshake is over, she turns to smile to Una. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well."
Robert offers menus to both women, pushing them across the table before he sits back in his seat with his hands, resting his hands lightly on his thighs. His gaze flickers over the three women, and to the other man, cautious and wary. "It is not an easy place to speak freely." He sounds a note of cautious, as his ordered food arrives. He glances down at it, before he lifts his gaze to the others, a question in his face. "Do you mind if I eat?"
As the Empath cocks his eyebrow at Una, he looks up at the barmaid when she brings him his meal. He nods slowly and says, "Thank you." Zander begins to eat and focus on his food.
Karmen gives a firm shake to MJ's hand before she pulls her own back, a flash of a smile as well as a shrug of her shoulders, "No worries there. I have had good company to keep me occupied. I have also met a handful of others. They are all nice." When Robert asks if they mind that he eats, "Nah man, eat. I had chili cheese fries before I came here, so I ain't hungry. A soda will do." And that soda is sipped at gently, sips and swallows. "We are meeting now, only thing that matters."
"Please, do not let me stop you from eating," Una offers, voice still fairly quiet. She takes the menu, glad that her hands have something to do now, and flips through it. "I admittedly just arrived here. Just…earlier today. Wasn't expecting to meet people this early on."
MaryJane smiles gently and nods her head to Karmen before looking to Robert as she starts to cut up more of her steak. "Well that's fantastic I'm so glad that you have met them. They are a rather interesting and lively sort." She says before having a few more bites to eat. "Oh?" She asks softly. "Really where did you come from?"
Robert doesn't hesitate once the others express a lack of problem with him eating, beginning to cut the steak quickly, eating neatly and precisely. He listens to their conversation as he eats, his gaze flickering between the three at the table, letting MJ take the lead. His attention flickers occasionally to Zander, warily, before he pauses his meal to comment softly. "Welcome to Chicago."
As he trembles, Zander can feel the woman's nerves at her level and he closes his eyes a moment and begins to take a few breaths. He opens his eyes and seems more relaxed as he continues to eat.
Karmen watches Robert eat for a few moments, seeming to enjoy the cutting up of his steak ever so precisely. Another small sip of her soda as the young woman just passes the time. Every so often she'll glance over to Zander, but her attention always moves back to the table. Tight lipped this evening she is, turning her glass of soda on the table as the others talk.
Una takes an ocassional, slow drink from her bottle. Her other hand holds the menu, like she's giving it actual and deep consideration. "Thanks," she says to Robert, before lifting her gaze up to MaryJane. "Arizona."
MaryJane looks to Zander for a moment and then looks to Una for a moment. "AH hon easy your emotions down, it's alright you're friends." She says trying to sooth her emotions so they don't bleed out. "Well that's lovely, we've had others close to that state just come recently."
Robert's precise movements extend to the pause, his wrists resting on the table. "It is coincidence that we found you. MJ and I were hungry." The comment is made to Una, an attempt, however awkward, but his energy is more useful, easing out to attempt to soothe, to calm. "Karmen, are you settled with accommodation? I apologize for my abrupt departure." His gaze flickers towards her, watching her as he takes another bite.
As he continues to eat, Zander turns his head slightly towards the wolves. His hair covering the majority of his face as he gives them a side glance or two. He finishes his burger and begins to pick at his fries.
"Yes, I will be staying with Riley and your sister for the time being." A brief gaze to Robert from Karmen before her eyes roam to Maryjane. "I was asked to meet you, before I could return home. I assure you, I am tired of wearing the same clothing for days now." A flash of a grin to Mary at this, then a soft chuckle, "They are clean, but the same pieces of clothing." Another small sipping of her soda as she looks at Una for a moment, then back to Robert. "I will be getting my own place after a while, a month or so."
Una does settle a little, but it is only slightly. "I tried to have notice sent that I was coming, but my Uncle couldn't find anyone to do so with," she offers, like it's a lame excuse. Then, she adds, "Weather like this is making me regret leaving the desert behind." She looks to Karmen, briefly, and then back towards Zander.
MaryJane smiles as she finishes her steak and nods her head a bit to Karmen. "Oh that's wonderful, I'm so glad to hear it." She says as she smiles to the news about lodging. She then smiles to Una and nods her head. "Well the weather here can be quite odd at times." Gesturing to the blizzard outside.
Robert nods slowly to Karmen, eating his food slowly. The meal apparently takes more of his attention than the comment about Riley and Ricci, as he takes another piece, eating it neatly. He pauses, speaking softly to Una, his voice steady. "There are some changes in the pack. You have arrived at a difficult time. But you are welcome, nonetheless."
While he eats his fries, Zander brings his hand to his temple and squeezes his eyes shut. He lets out a gasp as he grabs onto the table. His body locked in a rigid form. When suddenly his body relaxes and he opens his eyes. He slumps in his chair and mutters, "Shit." He begins to take out his wallet.
Karmen gives a nod to MaryJane's words about her lodging arrangements as a napkin is used to wipe the condensation off of her glass. She has nothing more to add to the conversation now, just looking about the room, every so often at Zander.
Una nods to Robert, slowly. "We figured that something had happened, but I was transfering to the university here, so…" She shrugs. She looks over to Zander, head cocked. "Is…that guy alright?"
MaryJane nods her head as she smiles to the women talking and then looks to Robert. She then signals for the check, when the when it comes she pays for it. She grins happily before looking to the party. "Shall we head over?" She asks as she turns and looks over to Zander. She looks to them. "Robert would you take them, I'll ask." Being she is a doctor she heads over to Zander.
As he is getting out his own money to pay, Zander is standing. He slides his money under the check and looks over at MJ as she arrives. He cocks his head to the side and takes his jacket and says softly, "Yeah…just a bad headache. I am good."
"I will." Robert's steak is history anyhow and he rises from his seat, pulling his wallet from his pocket to drop notes on the table. "If you ladies would come with me, we'll head home." The formal invitation is given in a low tone, and he waits for both to move to the door before he does.
Karmen stands from the table now after drinking the rest of her soda, a dabbing of her lips with a napkin before it's wadded up and left discarded there. "Thanks Robert." The only words spoken from her as she begins to head out with the man.
Una nods, and smoothly rises to her feet. Her half-finished beer is left behind, and her hands slide into the pockets of her jeans. Dark eyes give the room one last scan before she makes to follow Robert out.
MaryJane nods her head to Zander for a moment while she moves to slide her card to the man. "If you need any help I am more than happy to assist." She says before gently patting the man's shoulder healing any pain he has at the moment. "Do take care then." She moves to join her group before they head off.

Volterra in Tuscany
Just a short distance from Florence and Pisa and several other better known Tuscany towns is the town of Volterra that sits on a hill top like several of the Tuscan towns and cities.
Vacation in Tuscany
Who can resist the urge to visit the legendary region of Tuscany, Italy? This area boasts a history so rich that it has changed the face of human history. Be it the arts, politics, or religion Tuscany offers such a rich culture that it's almost irresistible for a traveler to Italy to ignore it.
Tuscany top tourist attractions
Tuscany may be the world's only truly organic work of art. The region and all it contains is one enormous museum, both natural and man-made. Here, as in few other places, the beauty of nature and human creation are integrated into a harmonious whole.
For centuries the region has been the site of olive groves, wineries and hills of unparalleled loveliness. At the same time, cities like Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa and Florence have provided works of architecture, painting and sculpture that are at the pinnacle of achievement.
Wine Tasting in Tuscany
Montalcino is also no slouch in the winemaking department. Tours of the Castello Banfi estate will persuade even the most finicky of wine drinkers of that. Over 7,100 acres provide this winery with ample stock from which to produce outstanding wines. Unlike many of its neighbors, the winery is only 25 years old, so it sports state of the art equipment. But the 11th century castle has been amazing visitors for centuries.
Maremma area in Tuscany
Maremma serves as a home to Italy's most wonderful beaches, intriguing hilltops, natural healing springs, natural parks and lush vegetations.

The flu season has arrived; mostly H1N1 now, we should soon start to see more seasonal flu as well. There are a lot of healthy approaches to fight this infection. I have made a link below to an article from the Natural Medicines Database, an outstanding physician-oriented website. This article reviews evidence-based research as to which natural medicines may — or may not — fight the flu. It's a bit dense but very interesting and useful.
At the bottom of the article is a terrific summary graph that ranks natural medicines by safety and effectiveness; their medicines that are "likely safe and possibly effective" for flu treatment are:
- Andrographis
- Echinacea
- Oscillococcinum
- Vitamin C
- Zinc (lozenges)

I came down stairs one night to find Matt and Abby like this. I thought it was pretty cute.
Another Camping trip! This time we camped at the Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens. I must admit, I like camping in Botanical gardens.
This is Abby "helping" me unpack from our camping trip
Abby ready to go to church
The pool on base does "Flick n' Floats" on some Friday nights. It's where they show movies on a really big screen and you just float around while you watch. We have lots of fun at them even if Abby only lasts 5 minutes in the pool.

First off, Matt Graduated (Wahoo)in June with his Bachelor's of Science degree in Diplomacy and Military Studies from Hawaii Pacific University. Now only two more years at Troy University for his MPA and school will be D-U-N!! (for him at least)
Some of our friends will be leaving in a few weeks so they have been trying to finish their "To-Do" list. So last Friday we packed up the four wheel drive's and headed up into the mountains for some awesome camping. The view was amazing once you were on top, ocean on both sides, there are not very many things more beautiful than that.
