What's all the hype @ food journals? The research is there.........old research, new research and it all points to people who keep a food journal loose MORE weight than those who do not. That means we've got to fess up and write down all we eat and drink. If we can loose more weight, isn't it worth it?!!! So grab a notepad, cocktail napkin, or whatever (I recommend a spiral notebook that lives with you all the time).
For those of us who need to read it to believe it - check out the study from Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research. The study was published in the August 2008 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. "Those who kept daily food records lost twice as much weight as those who kept no records...."
So grab a pen and start writing!

"You Got Fine Written All Over You!" (Part I)
[updated 9/10/18]
We've just started analyzing the TOP10 SIGNS YOU'RE ON A BAD FIRST DATE, but before continuing, I want to clarify that some of the entries in this TOP10 wouldn't be awkward at all for two people who have been dating for some time.
For instance, this week we're tackling the 2nd part of #10: Your date's opening line is:
"Are you a parking ticket cuz you got fine written all over you!"
Ironically, a bad pick-up line is funny between good friends for the same reason that it's not funny on a first date, because when you deliver a doozy like this to someone with whom you're already in relationship, you're making fun of those who throw out lines like this in the hopes of starting a relationship.
Having conveyed that disclaimer, let's get back to that "fine" pick-up line. Though communicating a similar level of disrespect as last week's opening zinger, "OK. Let's get this over with," this witty little one-liner communicates a completely different message about your date's interest in spending time with you. (That's in addition to revealing your date has the maturity level of a Middle Schooler on a Mountain Dew high.)
What's so disrespectful, ask ye? Isn't this is a compliment?
Hmmm. Well yes and no. It could be considered a compliment in relation to ones physical appearance. (Who wouldn't want to be so good looking as to have fine written all over them?) However…
A relationship launched by a lusty one-liner like, "You got fine written all over you," doesn't promise much of a future.
Keep in mind, they said you have fine written "all over you." I can even see them body-scanning you as they say it. (Motion sickness bag, please.)
Of course, there's nothing wrong with looking "fine as a parking ticket." Physical attraction is GOOD! At the very least, your date should appreciate how the Creator of the universe created you. So they shouldn't be critical of your appearance or trying to change it to please themselves. At the same time, your date should view you as a person of inestimable value and not as a piece of meat with a cost per pound.
I actually have more I want to say on this topic, so we'll continue this discussion next weekend. Until then, prayerfully consider how you measure your own sense of self worth:
- how you look
- who you really are

DNA: It's What's For Dating
Dug this weekend's DNA? Be a good friend and share with your friends on the social media platform of choice: Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, or Twitter.
The LoveEd discipleship series, Beyond Sex & Salvation, will empower you to prepare for relational success when it counts: BEFORE you fall in love!
It's NOT for couples, but for any wise individual who thinks they might want to get married sometime before they die. And would like to learn how to better build healthy relationships in the meantime.
Check out all three study guides in our store. You can walk through them on your own, but it's more fun with friends (that and it kinda makes sense to grow in relational success in actual relationships with others), so consider putting together an FMU LoveEd small group study.
Even better? And ask a rock star married couple you respect to lead it!

How do we see the unseeable? How are scientists shining a light on cancer? How can laser beams be used as tweezers and scissors?
Light is all around us and it is being used in incredible ways in medicine and biology. Light can be used to image microscopic objects such as cells, bacteria and small organisms. In healthcare, light can be used to treat a number of medical conditions, such as certain types of cancer. Light is also a useful research tool. Laser beams can be used to trap and move tiny objects and to punch holes in them.
Upcoming events:
Previous events:
International Day of Light, 16th May 2019
To celebrate the International Day of Light, Morgan and Sephie met undergraduate students from all disciplines in the Student Union building and showed them around a few experiments. The light connection caught them in the midst of hard revisions, and it was a pleasure to see the excitement in even the most arty or literary of them.
Students could see a mobile phone screen under the microscope, use their phone as a diffraction grating, and then experience life as seen through diffraction grating glasses. What a diffractive experience! They could also play with refraction and reflection in a water tank, and thus learn more about the principles of optical fibres.
Science Discovery Day, 9th March 2019
A record-breaking 1292 visitors took part in Science Discovery Day 2019 (Saturday 9 March) at the School of Physics and Astronomy welcome a record-breaking 1292 visitors through the doors.
People from across Tayside, Fife and beyond participated in a range of scientific hands-on activities, learning about everything from stars to starfish.
Our group's activities were coordinated by Roopam Gupta, Morgan Facchin, and James Pye.
Explorathon 18, 29th September 2018
Over 400 visitors to Explorathon 18 at Dundee Science Centre investigated how light is changing the way we look at biology and medicine.

Looking to keep track of all the various projects in development? Click here to visit our signature "Devwatch" section. There visitors can view our listings by network, genre, studio and even development stage (ordered to pilot, cast-contingent, script, etc.). It's updated every day!
Here is the latest project being picked up to series by the aforementioned network for the 2014-15 season (via press release):
In this "Traffic"-like action drama, an international conspiracy explodes when three strangers' lives unexpectedly collide - a female soldier, a corporate lawyer and a political activist. After a team of American soldiers battle Jihadists in North Africa, they're shocked to find that one of the men they killed is Al Qaeda's top man. Sgt. Odelle Ballard (Anna Friel, "Pushing Daisies") - a soldier, mother, wife and the unit's only female member - discovers computer files that suggest a major U.S. corporation is funding the Jihadists. But before she can tell anyone, her team is attacked and left for dead. News is reported that the unit was wiped out, but the truth is that Odelle survived and is the only witness to her unit's assassination by U.S. Special Forces. In New York, former U.S. Attorney Peter Drucker (Peter Facinelli, "Nurse Jackie") is working on a merger deal for the same company that was funneling money to the Jihadists. Meanwhile, Harrison Wolcott, a political activist and trust fund kid, meets a hacker who claims to have unearthed a massive military-industrial conspiracy. And he's right: He's stumbled onto the cover-up that began with Odelle and will soon be out in the open and everyone's lives will be in danger. The only way they'll ever save their country, their families and themselves is by joining forces and exposing the people behind it. From director Peter Horton ("Grey's Anatomy") comes a complex journey through global politics, military secrets and three strangers who only have one thing in common... the truth.
The cast also includes Jake Robinson, Jim True-Frost, Treat Williams, Nate Mooney, Elena Kampouris, Daniella Pineda, Sadie Sink, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Omar Ghazaoui.
Writers Adam Armus ("The Following") and Nora Kay Foster ("Heroes"), and director Peter Horton ("Grey's Anatomy") serve as executive producers with Simon Maxwell ("Off the Hook"), Mikkel Bondesen ("Burn Notice"), Henrik Bastin ("Burn Notice) and Kristen Campo ("The Killing"). "Odyssey" is a production of Universal Television, Fabrik Entertainment and Red Arrow Entertainment Group.

Military Retirement Pay and Divorce in Arizona
Military Retirement Pay and Divorce Explained
If you or your spouse is a member of the military and one or both of you is considering divorce and want to know about military retirement pay and divorce in Arizona, you may have a lot of questions that don't seem to fit the general mold.
For instance, how is military retirement benefits divided during a divorce in Arizona?
The Uniform Services Former Spouse's Protection Act gives each state the right to treat military retirement benefits as "marital property."
While it does not divide military retirement benefits in a divorce mandatory, USFSPA recognizes that state courts have the right to distribute military retirement benefits in a divorce in Arizona to a former spouse in military divorces.
It also provides a method of enforcing the orders related to the distribution of military retirement benefits through the Department of Defense.
To utilize USFSPA, there must have been a portion of the former spouse's military retirement pay awarded in the final divorce decree or decree of legal separation.
It is also important to note that while the family court system intends to divide marital assets "fairly and equitably" that does not necessarily mean the court will order an equal division of the military retirement benefits.
Division of Military Retirement Pay in a Divorce
Various factors will be taken into consideration, and all will vary depending upon the specifics of the case.
The portion of military retirement benefits designated as "marital property" can be defined in fraction form with the top number (numerator) designating the total number of months or years the two parties were married during the time of military service and the lower number (denominator) being the total number of months/years of military service.
Determining if there will be any retirement benefits and, if so, the exact amount of military retirement benefits a former spouse may receive as a marital asset may not be possible until the service member retires from the military.

Development of a Risk Assessment Model to Assess TMDL Implementation Strategies
MetadataShow full item record
High levels of fecal indicator bacteria (e.g. E. coli) are the leading cause of identified surface water impairments in the United States. The US Clean Water Act of 1972 requires that jurisdictions establish priority rankings for impaired waterways and develop a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) plan for each. Although past research indicates that the risk of illness to humans varies by source of fecal contamination, current watershed assessments are developed according to total concentration of indicator bacteria, with all sources weighed equally.
A stochastic model using Quantitative Microbial Risk assessment (QMRA) principles to translate source-specific (e.g. human, livestock) daily average concentrations of E.coli into a daily average risk of gastroenteritis infection was developed and applied to Pigg River, an impaired watershed in southern Virginia. Exposure was calculated by multiplying a ratio of source related reference pathogens to predicted concentrations of E.coli and a series of qualifying scalars. Risk of infection was then determined using appropriate dose response relationships.
Overall, human and goose sources resulted in the greatest human health risk, despite larger overall E.coli loading associated with cattle. Bacterial load reductions specified in the Pigg River TMDL were applied using Hydrological Simulation Program- FORTRAN (HSPF) to assess the effect these reductions would have on the risk of infection attributed to each modeled bacterial source. Although individual risk sources (neglecting geese) were reduced below the EPA limit of 8 illnesses per 1000 exposures, the combined risk of illness varied between 0.006 and 64 illnesses per 1000 exposures.

Moving House Can Be A Killer
According to a survey by the Halifax Building Society one of the top three most stressful situations in life is moving house. The other two are divorce and death!
That got me thinking about the reasons WHY? Did the worry and stress stem from one source or was it a combination factors. For instance my research shows there is no official structure or rules for the different agencies such as solicitors, banks, estate agents etcetera when it comes to exchange and key handover on completion. I have been told horror stories that include not receiving the keys to the new house on handover day because solicitors and bank had not completed their side of the business. The removal firms don't come out of it too well either accidents and damage is sometimes unavoidable in a big move with so much going on but there are instances of damage and accidents happening that could have been avoided. There are a few rogue removal companies out there that don't train their staff, overload their lorries and much worse. And what about the different tasks that only we can do like contacting everyone with our change of address details.
Now that is one area that, once you know where to look, is not so scary and can be simplified so that the stress level is reduced to almost zero. So I did a bit more research on good old Google and came up with some fascinating facts and helpful websites that will help to minimise some of the worst pitfalls of not taking care when it comes to who needs to know you are relocating – like ending up with raging toothache and finding you forgot to register with a local NHS dentist so end up paying £££s.
Did you know for example that when you move it's not just Auntie Ethel and the gas man who needs to know your new address and contact details? There is a wide variety of organisations that all need your new details if you are to be able to collect your child allowance, tax credits and pension to re-registering to vote. At the very worst failure to notify the various government departments of your change of address could result in you being without any immediate income after you have moved house or even leave you open to fraud.
Below is a short list of helpful websites whose checklists will take some of the worry out of moving home.
www.direct.gov.uk has a whole section listing the different government departments you need to contact when moving home, such as Student Loans, HMRC and Child Support. The website even goes so far as to give useful hints and tips such as when to tell people your new contact address details.
www.tvlincensing.co.uk/movinghome really important you let these folk know otherwise their sinister white van may come on the prowl and you end up with a hefty fine.
www.homebase.co.uk and www.primelocation.com/guides/moving–home/moving–checklist both have a handy checklist you can download and print out for easy reference.
www.movingetc.tv an independant relocation consultant
Another source of excellent helpful information is the removal companies themselves the good ones have ready made checklists and other helpful advice they hand to customers . Here in Norfolk and Suffolk we are lucky to have a number of reliable Removals companies all willing to help make moving to your new home as worry free as possible and I know that also applies to Removal firms in other parts of the country. Estate Agents are good at giving a value added service that covers moving and host of other things.
There are many more websites from television home and property programme channels to broadband providers so it's a case of using Google to search for the list that is a close match to your needs. Print it off and fix it to a kitchen cupboard or wall where it is in line of sight and tick off each task as you do it.
I adore lists because they help me to organise my thoughts (I tend to 'butterf'ly' from one task to another all too easily without my beloved daily list to guide me) and in the case of moving house with all the packing, sorting and cleaning to do one end and the cleaning, unpacking and sorting at the new property I believe a checklist is essential and will save your sanity.
As a home stager I am adept at helping people present their properties for sale and getting the property sold. But that survey made me think "What about the move to their new home? There had to be a way I could help make the move to their new property less stressful."
Well folks, I may not have cracked the problem and come up with the ultimate one stop shop home removal package idea. But I do offer a gift option that might just fit the bill.
My Welcome Home gift offer was intended for travellers coming home after a long journey or holiday to a cold empty house but actually with a little reworking I realised it could also be used to welcome a home buyer moving into their new home. The basic service has been reworked to include meeting the removal van at the new property; unboxing the household goods and then doing some basic dressing of two rooms to choose from for instance the kitchen and sitting room complete with a welcome home cuppa, a fresh home-made loaf and five essential groceries in the fridge. There's only thing left for them to do…… flop into a comfy chair and relax in their new home with a hot, refreshing cup of tea safe in the knowledge that the worst was done and tomorrow was another day.
So don't let moving house be a killer – if you're tearing your hair out trying to get everything organised while still getting the kids ready for school or spending all day at work ( and you live in my service area of course) you know where to come 😀
The first step to any problem is to evaluate and be objective.
Have a great home staging day

Earth Day - Green Real Estate
In an ever changing real estate market and as a Realtor tries to change with the times....a new designation for Realtors has blossomed. Eco Broker is a new designation for Realtors to achieve. The education is an extensive one for the Realtor as they study potential hazards in a buildings like lead-based paint, radon, and molds. It goes a little further on to include "green building" which concentrates on building with renewable resources, less carbon usage, and using less chemicals in the building materials.
And finally, energy producers/savers such as solar power and wind generation. On the Big Island of Hawaii we are fortunate to have some new technologies on the horizon with the use of wave energy and geothermal energy. Both are difficult to harness but with the bright minds working on the projects, our futures will likely include these additional power sources.
I am currently working on the Eco Broker classes so watch for that honor behind my name. Think Green!

Process innovation1:55 pm - 2:25 pm Case study: Implementing the SAFe scaled Agile framework to deliver a data-driven, predictive approach to asset management
National Grid's gas network comprises 7,660 kilometres of high-pressure pipe and 618 above-ground installations. Whilst operating a safe, reliable network with expert engineers, National Grid gas has its challenges; the majority of assets are past their predicted asset life, systems of record have been kept locally on site, project costing has been inconsistent and resources are not optimally deployed. Now, following a major data collection and enterprise asset management system upgrade project, National Grid has the capability to store and analyse its data centrally, moving towards utilising predictive maintenance techniques that will ultimately deliver a better service to the end customer, with a goal of saving the organisation circa £9m in operational costs over the next three years.
The challenge: to overcome the resistance of engineering and technical colleagues to move to an asset management mindset through the flexible delivery of a user friendly system using the SAFe Agile methodology, simultaneously creating a shift in mind set toward 'cost, risk, performance' goals, and the new ways of working that will underpin this new target operating model.
You will learn:
- A practical model for applying the SAFe scaled Agile approach within a digital transformation
- What National Grid has learned from its failures throughout its regular "inspect and adapt" sessions
- How the business is integrating long-term planning into its operational strategies, working toward the energy networks of the future

Kia was born in a small town in Australia, moving around a lot at a young age until finding a stable town where she finished her schooling. Kia found herself enjoying and expressing herself through poetry, short stories and writing, photography, painting and drawing. All these mediums help Kia express the different world that she is so fond of.
Kia began writing at the age of fifteen in high school- finding that all her warped and strange dreams were giving her a fantastic new world- and since then she has never looked back.
In 'Senior Art' she focused on feminism and female empowerment; exposing through her work issues and concerns that many people would rather just "sweep under the rug".
In one art installation, Kia made a bed out of Pokémon cards- the concept being that when she slept a new world would come to life and it was the only one she saw and constantly lived in.
She now focuses on her photography, writing and self-help blogs on her website: 'Precious Living'.
Kia is now keenly working on "The Three Immortal Blades" series knowing that this book has to be shared with the world and that is what she aims to do now.
Writing in her Australian home, Kia tries to focus at times on simply what is running through her head, as her cats either terrorize her legs as scratching posts or her puppy barks in her ear for play-time. And as she continues her series, they grow with her book.
Kia is strongly supported by her friends and family and thanks them dearly for being with her along the bumpy road and nothing would please her more than having your support as well.
Book title:
Possession Of My Soul - The Three Immortal Blades
· Genre: Urban Fantasy
Karla Grey is an ordinary young woman that is taken from her mundane life into a world of blood lust as she begins to struggle with a unique ability. Karla is a Shielder; an exceptional fighter born with the rare ability to project a Shield for protection. However, Shielders are not the only kind that possesses such a talent. The Shielders battle a war that has been raging for centuries against the Starkorfs, who harvest humans and Shielders alike to obtain a near immortality.
Alongside the charming Lucas and selfless Paul, Karla must unravel the purpose of her curse and battle an unknown presence manipulating her thoughts; a mysterious woman who may be dormant for now, but has every intention of possessing Karla-mind, body, and soul.
Within this new reality that Karla faces the search for the Three Immortal Blades begins.
· Publish date: 15th May, 2014
· Publisher: Crystal Publishing
Extract from 'The Possession of my Soul':
"Karla? Karla?" Dad's voice was as frantic as mum's. "Karla, get home now. We have things to discuss." He sounded jumpy and tearful. I took one step back, and my leg buckled again. I tried dragging the other leg under my body but they could no longer move. My body is shutting down on me.
My eyesight was blurring into blotches of black and then, blotches of green. The pain was like venom triggering every nerve of my body to shut down. I can't handle it anymore. "I love you," I gasped into the phone, while tears replaced the stream of rain drenching my face.
"What? Are they there? Don't become what they want you to, sweetie. Please!" my dad shouted. I heard mum scream in the background and I felt her pain layer on top of mine. I can't breathe. Don't become what they want me to? What is Dad talking about?
"What who wants me to be?" I whispered, wincing as I felt myself dipping in and out of consciousness. A loud ring echoed through my head blocking out the noise of my father and the rain; then silence. All noise was lost. My knees collapsed at the same time as the world around me. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I thudded to the ground again, barely able to see my hands in front of my face. My lungs wouldn't accept any air now.
My body had completely stopped. My mouth filled up with blood, and I could feel it dribble onto the road underneath my face. Relief and fear was all that functioned in my mind. Relief to know that the pain will go away; fear to know that I'm dying.
I felt ice-cold hands lifting me off the ground from the waist while another hand cradled my head. My eyesight could only determine the outline of his shadowy face. The sadness it contained reflected my own. Rain washed over his face and dripped off onto mine. His lips moved as if he were shouting, but I heard none of his rage or furry. Only bliss. My face was cradled in Lucas's chest; he was embracing me in his arms. My eyesight slowly was taken away from me, leaving me in the dark. I can't breathe.
Welcome to the Fantasy Sci-Fi Network, Kia. It's great to meet such an enthusiastic young author.
When did you start writing and why?
I started writing at fifteen, in high school. I often got complemented for my imagination in short stories and my art concepts. And then I began having vivid dreams where I thought 'I must write this all down,' and has eventuated since. So the original manuscript I once had for Possession Of My Soul is very different to the published version now.
Sounds like it was meant to be and I guess it helps answer my next question too. What made you choose this genre?
There is no limit for fantasy; imagination is the key for opening up such fantastic worlds. I am not limited by logic or facts. And plus, its fun. Everyone loves having a little bit of magic in their life, and if they can't have it they can most certainly read about and consume it.
Which scene from your book do you like best and why?
Thus far my favourite scene is in Phantom Wolf. However I won't spoil anything until you've read it. So my second favourite is one of Karla Grey in Possession Of My Soul. Where after a certain event, she feels like an empty shell and alone. She is sinking in water believing that she is safe, but in truth she is actually drowning. I like this scene and concept because I think a lot of people can relate to that feeling. Where something so shocking happens in your life that you feel you're drowning within your own emotion or the surface of the water/ situation seems so far out of reach that you can only extend your hand out towards it.
Great visualisation.
Do you have another job outside of writing?
Yes. I have a fulltime, 40 hour job during weekdays as a weighbridge operator, where I direct trucks to certain locations with the company's products and invoices. And a part time job on weekends and some nights at a takeaway Fish and Chip shop. I am also a consultant for PartyLite (candles and Accessories) and Nutrimetics (Make-up and skin care products).
My goodness! You are a busy young lady!
What are you working on now?
Currently I am finishing Phantom Wolf, the first of its trilogy. I am currently finalising edits and starting to create a campaign for my book but also on behalf of the RSPCA (which is an Australian welfare group that looks after and rescues animals) as an animal lover this is very close to me and I appreciate all that they do. For the first week of Phantom Wolf's release I will donate all profits to them. So right now I am very busy organising that so I can create as much hype and interest to help such a great cause. I have also started writing Possession Of My Heart, the second book to The Three Immortal Blades, trilogy.
I am loving that Phantom Wolf's cover. I think it will have great appeal to the Young Adult readers and beyond.
Who are your favourite authors?
I am a huge fan of Kristen Cashore. I love empowering women and feminism myself and reading her books are just so, well perfect. Her books are visually stunning and she just knows how to make the women in her book entitled to such raw power, where although they fall in love, they are not dependant on the man. I love it. Another author I admire is Isobelle Carmody, much for the same reason, whom I was lucky enough to meet at a book signing at SupaNova on the Gold Coast.
I was there at SuperNova too. Hey, maybe next year we can have a FSFN stall together :-)
Do you have a blog?
I have two. I have my blog on The Three Immortal Blades website, keeping fans updated with the progress of my books competitions etc. But I also like to post every Monday informative blogs that might help other writers, freelancers and artists. Articles of my own experiences, things I've learnt along the way of being a self-published author and interviews with other freelancers such as my editor, Ashley Patterson or two illustrators Philip Battisti and Ynne Black.
My other blog is on my Precious Living website, although I haven't been able to update it as often as I would like lately because of my focus and busy schedule for my books. Often I blog self-help/affirmations every Monday and I like to post heart-warming articles of tragedies that have happened to real people and have taken it in as a lesson and moved on, inspiring me, and I hope it does the same for others. The articles I have written are also informative and educate readers on something's such as diseases they have never heard of before. When I travel more often I will also have a travel blog on there.
What do you enjoy doing when you're not writing or working?
When I have the time I like to sketch, paint, read, cook and watch anime.
What's your favourite pet?
I love all my pets; I have Sia who is a Cavoodle (dog) and my partner in crime. My partner, Scott often jokes that we are too alike and she is too human. But I love her all the more for it. I also have two cats, Forest and Isa, both female as well who are from the same litter but look like two completely different cats. One is white and one is black so I often refer to them as my Ying and Yang kitties.
Do you prefer ebook or hardcopy?
Call me old fashioned but I prefer reading hard copy. There is no better feeling than having your bookshelf full as you follow and collect your favourite author's books. I don't know, having them in my home seems more personal and a hobby to me then reading it on my iPad.
Kia, thanks so much for dropping by to sit on the FSFN interview couch. It's great to have another Australian member for our truly global Fantasy Sci-Fi Network.

The picture says it all. I got a Nintendo Wii for my birthday, with a smile to match the kid in the candy store. In nearly 20 years of video game experience I have never been sore from playing video games til now. If you don't know already the Nintendo Wii gameplay is involved – to play baseball or golf you swing the controller as you would the bat or club, to box you punch with both hands. Why I'm explaining this is beyond me – most of you already know. After all we do inhabit the same planet. Perhaps I write this explanation for our New Zealand audience. 🙂
I've also enjoyed creating characters called Mii's that look exactly like members of my family. I've also been able to download old Nintendo games from the internet like Contra 3 and Super Mario World. Yeah!

I'm heading to SC Thursday for 6 days.Sorry I missed yall. Call me when yall get time. I love you! P.S. I saw Anthony and Lori at Waller with Jacob and thier adopted baby girl who has red hair! she's a sweetheart!
Wow, you truly are a dork! LOL! Silly video games. Wait, I did fall in love with guitar hero… It was incredibly awesome to see you guys again! We need to do this more often!
Hey! Peter got one for his birthday too – the kid saved up $100 of his own money to get one – pretty good for an 11-12 year old! Hope all is well with you all – I cant believe how the kids have changed in all the pictures! That just cannot be Merry! Hope you all will be back in NE sometime soon =)
Happy Birthday Jeremy from the Gottsch Family!
It was fun playing Wii with you. I never thought I'd see the day?! Hey – spell Wii with 2 capital I's and it's World War 2! HaHa! Hope you enjoy it. As for me – I'll stick to SIMS2!
Love, Mom
Hey Beth, Good to hear from you. Did you get a Wii too? Who got one? Daniel? Have you played the game on XBox 360 called Beautiful Katamari? It's really fun. I think you'd like it. It's coming out for Wii too. I can't wait to play Wii with you at Thanksgiving. I look forward to seeing you. We need to do something about your hope chest – as we are really close if not over our weight limit for moving. Were Anhony and Lori just visiting Waller or did they move back from Texas.
Deb, truly enjoyed seeing you again and meeting your husband. As for the dorkiness I learned from the best Master Sergeant around…YOU! You big goof.
Angie, we're back! We need to schedule a photo shoot for the kids one last time before the military moves us to Charleston.
Mom, You'd be curious to know that Elijah has played the Wii too. He pitches the baseball quite well and even hit a couple! They have a new Sims game on the Wii – not to tempt you. I wonder how the interactive controls come into play on that version. Hmm. Maybe I can rent it on your next visit.
Have no idea really of what you are all on about. Should've had boys! You are welcome to educate me Jeremy when I am next in the states, though I may feel the need for a nap after having this interactive fun.
Mwahs to you big time,

Former New York Times Editor to Deliver Hays Press-Enterprise Lecture March 6
Bill Keller will discuss "The News Media in the Age of Trump"
Former New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller will discuss "The News Media in the Age of Trump" in the 48th Hays Press-Enterprise Lecture on March 6.
RIVERSIDE, California – Former New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller will present the 48th Hays Press-Enterprise Lecture on Monday, March 6, at the University of California, Riverside.
Keller will discuss "The News Media in the Age of Trump" at 7:30 p.m. in Highlander Union Building (HUB) 302. The lecture is free and open to the public. Parking will be free in Lot 1. Reservations are requested and can be made online.
Now the editor of The Marshall Project – a nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization focused on crime and punishment in the United States – Keller will examine the challenges the Fourth Estate faces in covering the Trump presidency.
"A business model in collapse. An audience distracted by fake news and polarized by online venom. And now a president who declares a 'running war with the media' – not to mention a hostile relationship with the facts. Is it time for despair?" The answer, he says, is, "No."
Howard H "Tim" Hays Jr., the former longtime owner and publisher of The Press-Enterprise newspaper, established the lecture series in 1966 to explore issues in journalism. His son, Tom Hays, created an endowment fund to make sure the tradition of the lecture lived on in Riverside even after his father's death in 2011.
"For five decades now, the Hays Lecture has made UCR a critical forum for the most pressing issues in journalism. Bill Keller continues that tradition with this year's lecture, and I look forward to his insights on the challenges faced by media in our nation and around the world," said UC Riverside Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox, who will introduce Keller at the lecture.
Keller joins a long line of prominent journalists who have traveled to Riverside to give the annual lecture, including Katharine Graham, Ben Bradlee, and Marty Baron from the Washington Post, columnists George Will and James Reston, NBC board vice chairman Richard Salant, CNN President Tom Johnson, former Wall Street Journal publisher Karen House, Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page, Los Angeles Times Editor Davan Maharaj, and Ray Suarez from the PBS NewsHour and Al-Jazeera.
Keller joined The Marshall Project in March 2014 after 30 years at The New York Times as a correspondent, editor and Op-Ed columnist. He served as the paper's executive editor from July 2003 until September 2011, during which time the Times sustained and built its newsgathering staff, won 18 Pulitzer Prizes, and expanded its audience by adapting the newsroom to the journalistic potential of the Internet. The newsroom also participated in the creation of a digital subscription plan to help secure the company's economic future.
Previously, Keller spent two years as an op-ed columnist and senior writer for The New York Times Magazine. He served as managing editor from 1997 to 2001, and as foreign editor from 1995 to 1997.
As chief of The Times bureau in Johannesburg from April 1992 until May 1995, he covered the end of white rule in South Africa. From December 1986 to October 1991, he was a Times correspondent in Moscow, reporting on the ultimate collapse of Communist rule and the breakup of the Soviet Union. In 1989, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage.
Before joining The Times, Mr. Keller was a reporter for The Dallas Times Herald, the Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report in Washington, and The Portland Oregonian.
Keller graduated from Pomona College with a B.A. in 1970 and is a member of the college's board of trustees. He lives in New York with his wife, Emma Gilbey Keller, and their daughters, Molly and Alice.

My brother bought it on Friday along with a new PS4. It took half a day to get it running, and he finished the game in a day and a bit. He enjoyed it. I found the music and sound effects irritating coming through the fibro walls.
