Pamela Eisenbaum, an expert on early Christianity, reveals the true nature of the historical Paul in Paul Was Not a Christian. She explores the idea of Paul not as the founder of a new Christian religion, but as a devout Jew who believed Jesus was the Christ who would unite Jews and Gentiles and fulfill God's universal plan for humanity. Eisenbaum's work in Paul Was Not a Christian will have a profound impact on the way many Christians approach evangelism and how to better follow Jesus's—and Paul's—teachings on how to live faithfully today.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Eisenbaum shows the implausibility of the common interpretation of Paul that pits a Christian essence against a superficial or rejected Jewish hull. The book's great accomplishment is to show us a historically plausible picture of a fully Jewish Paul who was also fully committed to Christ. - Dr. Stanley Stowers, Chair of Religious Studies, Brown University, and author of A Rereading of Romans: Justice, Jews and Gentiles
Eisenbaum's is one of a few important voices drawing our attention . . . to the continuing tensions and contradictions in Christian readings of Paul . . . This book does more than challenge and inform: it changes the way we think about Paul [and] the origins of Christian faith. - Neil Elliott, Author of Liberating Paul: The Justice of God and the Politics of the Apostle
Pamela Eisenbaum's Paul Was Not a Christian is a clear and effective presentation and extension of the view. . . that Paul remained fully identified with Judaism and the Torah throughout his life. . . It will repay careful reading by interested layfolk and by scholars as well. - Dr. Daniel Boyarin, Jewish Theological Seminary, UC Berkeley
"Paul was not a Christian is well worth careful reading. It is a serious and very clear exposition of what changed and what stayed the same in Paul's religious life. This book is very highly recommended to both scholars and laypersons as all will gain from it." - Alan F. Segal, Professor of Religion and Jewish Studies Barnard College, Columbia University, Author of Paul the Convert
"In this provocative book, biblical scholar Eisenbaum points out that the traditional Christian portrait of Paul as a former Jew . . . is a misreading of Paul's life and religious work . . . Eisenbaum's lively prose and meticulous scholarship provides a compelling new portrait of the apostle. " - Publishers Weekly
"Professor Eisenbaum offers the general reader the most realistic first-century portrayal of the Apostle Paul ever written." - Jewish Book World
"According to traditional teachings, Paul rejected his Judaism for the new, improved version: Christianity. Bible scholar Pamela Eisenbaum says this interpretation of Paul is not only wrong, it's dangerous." - Interfaith Voices

Technically, fermented foods or drinks were among the first processed food products consumed by humans. For centuries, fermentation has been regarded as a preservation technique for extending the shelf-life of perishable foods. This age-old process has recently gained the attention of consumers due to their health benefits and distinct taste properties.
Consumers are becoming more conscious about their gut health and healthy bacteria are found in fermented foods. With recent advances in the understanding of gut-brain interactions, fermented foods have also been suggested as an efficient way for particularly cognitive function improvements.
Further, the aroma profile and taste sensation of fermented foods are also associated with the authentic and natural foods. According to "What's Trending in Nutrition" survey conducted by Pollock Communications and Today's Dietitians in which 2,050 registered dietitians and nutritionists (RDNs) polled, "clean eating" and plant-based diets would be the two most popular diet trends for 2018 whereas the ketogenic diet (a low-carb regimen) that allows plentiful fats and protein intake— has moved to the No. 3 in this survey.
Improving the gut health
Fermented foods – yogurt, kefir, kombucha and sauerkraut are the No. 1 superfoods for year 2018 (based on consumer thinking and eating habits) which showed that the consumers are "going with their gut" thus looking for foods which improve the gut health and overall well-being.
The rest of the 2018 superfoods rankings included: Avocado, Seeds, Nuts, Green tea, Ancient grains, Kale, Exotic fruits, Coconut products and Salmon. Several researches revealed the health benefits of fermented foods and foods like kimchi and gochujang are being reinvented. Thus, fermentation these days is going beyond the purpose of preservation as consumers explore new flavours and added wellness benefits.
During the forecast period of 2018-2023, the global fermented foods and drinks market is considered to observe the CAGR of 7.2% showing the competition in the market which is driven by the increasing health and wellness market trend and the growing beverages market demand.
Fermented foods are "coming back" in the Western markets due to their perception by consumers as healthy food. The trend of natural, clean-label and organic foods is also driving force of fermented food and drinks market which can be segmented by type (fermented vegetables, dairy and beverages), distributional channel (online stores, super markets, health stores) and others.
Digestive and immune health
Yogurt is one of the best known fermented foods which had already moved into public awareness with the rise of probiotic yogurt in the mid-1980s due to its association with the health benefits mainly with regard to digestive and immune health. The major categories for fermentation except the dairy category include bakery and beverages, sauces and seasonings, pickles such as sauerkraut and kimchi, sourdough bread and kombucha.
A range of fermented soy bean products is also increasingly getting popular, including miso and natto from Japan and tempeh (used as a meat replacement) from Indonesia. The major giants in the global fermented food and drinks market includes Agua Via Natural, Balance Water Company, Cargill, Comexim Ltd, ConAgra Foods Inc., Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc., and DSM.
Shift in the diet pattern
As discussed above, the "clean eating" trend was the most important diet trend for 2018 followed by "plant-based diets," according to the survey. This movement towards clean eating exhibits the change in how consumers view the food. "Clean eating" is just a balanced approach to nutrition by restricting the highly processed foods and fast foods which enhances the interest of consumers towards eating more minimally processed whole foods, which are rich in protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.
However, the disadvantages of this include the extra-obsessiveness with eating choices, and needlessly restriction of food choices by consumers. Consumers nowadays look for the nutritional information and equating diet with the health benefits and fermented foods are meeting the consumer expectations of "clean labelling" and a desire to avoid synthetic additives and preservatives.
The quick rise of fermented foods shows that consumers have expanded their definition of wellness to include benefits such as gut health. It also suggests that consumers are digging deeper for information about the food they eat and in this case, they find why yogurt, kefir or kimchi is so good for them thus increasing the consumption of fermented foods.
Unique taste experience
Fermented foods not only satisfy the desire for traditional ingredients but also exhibit a probiotic effect and deliver a unique taste experience without additional flavours. These days, consumers are even ready to pay higher retail price for the products which are manufactured using the trusted and recognised ingredients.
Fermentation reduces phytic acid – inherent in whole grains that is thought to inhibit the body's absorption of minerals. Thus fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of minerals. From a sensory view, fermentation reduces the bitterness of the phytic acid and promotes the development of aroma precursors that deliver a distinctive flavour profile and an indulgent, balanced taste. Fermented foods are also rich in enzymes, probiotics, Vit B and ?-3 fatty acids.
Opportunities for new product development
Since fermentation is a natural and authentic process, numerous options are associated with the new product development in fermented foods category which can attract the consumer in the supermarket shelves. The improvement in the digestive health is a prominent spot of the fermented foods for continued research. There are absolutely unexplored potential pathways and benefits of fermented foods.
Over the past decade, science has begun to scrape the surface of the role of fermentation, gut bacteria and the gut microbiome in human health. Moreover, the consumer interest in fermented foods will only drive more research and increase the availability of fermented foods.
Subject for research
More studies are required to be conducted on fermented foods to understand the types of bacteria and microorganisms present in these foods, and their mechanisms of action related to potential health benefits. Also, activity of microorganisms in foods – how long do they stay alive and under what conditions is also another subject for research.
With the push for 'clean,' the food industry can leverage this by exploring new whole food ingredients for commonly consumed fermented products. Further, there is a need to design the innovative and attractive packaging formats for packing the fermented foods which maintains the integrity of live probiotic cultures without compromising the convenience and aesthetic aspects of product.
Thus there is a mega-trend of positive image of fermentation as well as fermented products. It is a natural way of processing food and incorporating the healthy components which is therefore increasingly liked by the consumers.

Bonesteel Portable Sawmill
& Molding, LLC
We love and respect our land and will respect yours as well. You can feel confident that we will not destroy your property with our portable milling , and logging service.
* Many of our customers don't have the time or space to dry lumber for their projects, so we decided to add kiln drying to our services. Research shows that wood dried in a solar kiln is more stable and may warp and twist less than wood dried by other methods. The disadvantage to solar drying is that it takes more time to dry the wood, especially in the winter months. All things considered, we decided to build a solar kiln and based our design on a model posted on the WoodWeb site.
We finished our solar kiln in late March and we couldn't wait to give it a test run. Our first charge was Poplar 4/4 for a molding order. It took approximately three weeks to achieve 7.8% MC. We are very pleased with the results and excited about using energy from the sun to create kiln dried lumber.

For some reason, they wouldn't let people bring signs into the DC show. So this guy named Eric decided he ought to give me his ROSENWORCEL ROCKS cardboard poster, which features me playing percussion with a bucket on my head and a traffic light behind me (!?). A fine sign and a great way to show some support at a concert. Thanks Eric. Lots of Gusterds have found vocal and clever ways to express their love on this tour and it means a lot. But here are a couple of things NOT to do:
1. Don't expose Scotty's genital diseases on the outside flap of your poster. That's just not fair.
2. Don't hurt yourself. Check out the pictures of a kid named Ryan, below — if you look closely you can see some carvings around the chest and stomach. This is what Ryan said to me: "I tried to write GUSTER on my chest but all I had was a ballpoint pen and I ended up cutting myself."

Undergraduate Honors Theses
Roman Social-Sexual Interactions: A Critical Examination of the Limitations of Roman Sexuality
Thesis Defended

This thesis explores the dichotomy between sexuality and socialization in ancient Rome; namely how sexuality is expressed and communicated in Roman society as a whole. While modern perceptions seem to paint ancient sexuality as something significantly fluid, I postulate that the cultural openness to matters of a sexual nature actually hindered sexual expression by categorizing and compartmentalizing human sexuality to certain categories of conduct. In the first chapter I use, as the main scholarly frame of reference of my study, the magisterial work of J.N. Adams on, Roman sexual linguistics, but I expand upon his work by connecting sexual phraseology to Roman socialization using the latest advancements in academic linguistic theory. In this chapter I argue that Roman social-sexual evolution runs parallel to and is preserved by the linguistic evolution of Latin sexual constructions. Furthermore, I expand beyond the work of Adams and argue that sexual catharsis is the primary force driving both the social views on sexuality and the sexual traditions of classical Rome. In the second chapter I examine an eclectic range of primary sources (literary, epigraphic, art-historical, archaeological, etc.) through which I explore Roman sexual traditions such as marriage, prostitution, and homosexuality from a distinctly Roman perspective while comparing and contrasting those perspectives with both modern perceptions of ancient sexuality and current theories of modern sexual conduct. I argue that each, rather than facilitating sexual autonomy, serves to limit Roman sexuality by forcing Romans to comply with strict social expectations. After examining Roman sexuality in these ways, I conclude that Roman society developed a culturally consistent approach to systematically institutionalize sexuality in such a manner as to result in wide-spread sexual repression among all demographic subsets of Roman society.

|Decent hotel type exterior acting as a facade for an average interior and slightly poorer service. The barman, although friendly enough, acted as though he had taken a pot of sleeping pills and eventually served my pint of Doom Bar, which tasted as though the pipes had been thoroughly steeped in vinegar for the night.
The only reason I went there in the first place was to feed my young daughter and niece (not the same person; I'm not from Alabama) and the sign outside clearly stated 'food served all day'. To be told that the chef had popped out to 'do her horses' (perhaps for the burger menu?) was poor to say the least. I necked the pint of acetic acid and moved on.
One consolation is that this pretty shoddy place is better than the Masons Arms down the road. Avoid the whole sorry town and go to somewhere like Boscastle or Tintagel instead.

Objections filed by four Butler County residents on Tuesday challenge the candidacy of Jennifer Vanasdale on the basis of her residency.
Vanasdale, a candidate for judge in the Butler County Court of Common Pleas, owns two residences in Butler County, one in Seven Fields and another about two miles away in Cranberry Township. Her candidacy papers list her Cranberry Township address as her residence. The petitions suggest that the Seven Fields address is where she actually lives, and that her candidacy petition should therefore be invalid.
The written objections to her candidacy quote a 2008 court case, saying "one's residence for qualifying for office must be a habitation where one has put down roots, not a place where one has hoisted a flag of convenience."
Vanasdale herself doesn't deny the distinction, but she questions both the source of the objections and their relevance. She said the Cranberry Township home, which she bought in December of 2018, is being renovated and will be her permanent residence in mid-April.
Her driver's license and voter registration are both already shifted to the Cranberry Township address, she said.
"This, to me, appears to be a nonissue raised for the purpose of harassment," Vanasdale said in a phone interview Tuesday.
Two separate petitions were filed, though they include identical language. One, filed by registered Republicans Patricia Stirling of Lancaster Township and Dianne Gregor of Jackson Township, targets her Republican nomination papers, while the other filed by Democrats Christopher Armstrong of Forward Township and Dean Zinkhann of Evans City, question her Democrat papers.
Both petitions state that Vanasdale "has never resided at 202 Woodlawn Road since purchasing (the home) in December of 2018. In fact, 202 Woodlawn Road is currently in uninhabitable condition."
Clifford Levine, the Pittsburgh attorney who filed both objections on behalf of the four Butler County residents, did not return a call for comment Tuesday.
Vanasdale said she suspected a former campaign competitor is behind the effort.
"I believe this is orchestrated, likely, by Tom Breth," she said.
Breth, whom Vanasdale has been fiercely critical of, dropped out of the race about a month ago. He denied any involvement and said he had no knowledge of any objections prior to being asked by media.
"I don't know who is behind this," Breth said. "It isn't me. I could care less."
He called on Vanasdale to release evidence that he's involved.
"I don't know why she continues to try and attack me," Breth said.
Vanasdale pointed to connections between the four objectors and Breth. The most obvious connection being Stirling, the former co-chair of the committee to elect Tom Breth.
Another of the objectors she alleged is linked to Breth, citing Facebook activity.
Vanasdale said she believes those behind the objection have been investigating her properties in person and bothering her neighbors.
Vanasdale's campaign manager Mike Barley wrote in a statement released Tuesday afternoon that: "The individuals challenging these petitions even sunk as low as to send a private detective to take pictures of Jennifer's home and even approached an elderly neighbor under false pretenses, and upon inquiry gave a false name and phone number."
That allegation refers to a March incident for which a police report is on file. Police responded to a suspicious person report at Vanasdale's Seven Fields home at about 9:30 p.m. March 13, according to the Evans City/Seven Fields Regional Police Department. Vanasdale herself made the call and reported an unknown person looking in her windows.
The person, she told police, was asking questions about her home to a neighbor. That neighbor asked for a name and phone number, and was given invalid information.
Vanasdale said she also saw someone taking photos from a vehicle at her Cranberry Township home once, and the person "sped off," she said.
Besides Vanasdale, William "Wink" Robinson, Matthew Fischer and Nicole Thurner submitted papers to run for judge, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State website. Papers were not received from assistant district attorney Terri Schultz, despite her announcing her candidacy in late February.

Downtown Raon L'Etape on the day of liberation; the Cross of Lorraine - symbol of Free France - and the "V pour la Victoire" garland on the monument to the town's World War I dead say it all.
After practically destroying the freshly-committed 708th Volks-Grenadier Division, as part of the XV Corps, the Division wheeled north and pursued elements of the German 1st Army through the Low Vosges, halting only when the initial success of the Germans' Ardennes offensive further north necessitated a strategic halt. Before digging in to consolidate their gains, however, the men of the Division had seized Fort Schiesseck, one of the strongest fortresses of the Maginot Line. Ironically, the fortifications in the area had been attacked unsuccessfully by the German 257th Infantry Division in June of 1940 - from the same direction (south) after their breakthrough in the Saar a few days earlier.

Scientists Invent Anti Nagging Pill- Earthquakes and Orgasms Ensue
The Day of the Pill's Release:
-Some new agency, some place. The pill that turns nagging into orgasms released today and immediately sold a bagillion copies. Seventy trillion female orgasms in the course of the last hour have resulted in worldwide earthquakes, killing hundreds of thousands. The remaining people on Earth all agree that it was worth it. The twitter hashtag #sorrybutitwasworthit has been fighting for number one spot all day alongside the tag #omgomgomgomg
We'll have more on this story in the weeks to follow.

Japan's government, threatened with more haarp attacks, pays 60 trillion yen to feds. HAARP Causes Earthquakes? Oh, Really?!
Japan's government, threatened with more haarp attacks, pays 60 trillion yen to feds.
HAARP Causes Earthquakes?
Oh, Really?
Benjamin Fulford, a 'journalist' and huge proponent of conspiracy theories (Illuminati, bankers, world domination, starvation and mass killings, HAARP, 9/11, etc) has stated that the Japanese government has paid 60 trillion yen (around 680 Billion Cdn.) (lol!) to the American Federal reserve Board 'crime syndicate' (lol!) in response to threats that if they did not pay, they would be again attacked.
Yes, attacked, because the Japanese natural disaster...was actually, according to him (and others) coordinated and perpetrated by HAARP. Yes, the Japanese natural disaster of 2011 was, according to Mr. Fulford, a terrorist attack! Here's the link:
(Yes, that's a wordpress blog, and yes, that ad at the top by the author, Mr. Fulford, does say that you can 'Defeat AIDS and cancer in 90 Days.' Kind of sets this blog up nicely, doesn't it?)
Now, before we get into this, let's have a look at some of the other claims this gentleman has made.

Seriously, what did we expect? Donald Trump and the whole world leader gang got together to reaffirm their commitment to international defense and cooperation this week and it did not go at all as planned. A-plus diplomacy, guys.
Before anyone even arrived in Brussels, Belgium for Day One of the NATO Summit, Trump was already tweeting his allies about not putting up enough money for international defense. Basically, he believes the United States is paying too much into NATO and wants other countries to contribute more to the pot. He's got a point to an extent, but the 29 NATO allies already have a commitment in place to increase contributions by a certain per cent of their GDP by the year 2024. Apparently Donald Trump wants it to be more and he wants it now.
Fresh pastries with a side of presidential rants
First on Trump's agenda was a breakfast with the NATO Secretary General and before the food even came out, Trump was ranting about how the U.S. funds the protection of all the other NATO countries. The episode was so cringe-inducing, even Trump's own staff was trying to pretend they were anywhere else. Chief of Staff John Kelly looked stone-faced the whole time, some people even speculated he turned a hearing aid off at one point while his boss went off against their hosts.
In his defence, the White House claimed Kelly was sullen because he was disappointed by the Belgian breakfast of pastries and cheese. As if that's a better reason for an adult to be upset during a meal.

President Pot and kettle
Another big beef Trump seems to have with his allies are are their ties to Russia (yes, seriously). At the same breakfast (and on several other occasions later in the day), Trump blasted German Chancellor Angela Merkel for an energy deal her country has with Russia, saying they are "totally controlled by Russia," and a "captive" of the country. That would be an interesting argument if Trump didn't have his own very public bromance with Russia's Vladimir Putin.
A quick recap: during the 2016 presidential election, Trump made a public plea to Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's emails; the Trump team may have colluded with Russia to get dirt on Clinton and influence the election; it's been proven that Russia did meddle in the election; Trump refuses to call Putin out on the meddling; Trump has repeatedly defended Putin being "a killer"; a few weeks ago, Trump suggested that Russia be let back into the G7.
Oh, and he's also meeting with Putin this week. What's that saying about the pot calling the kettle "beholden to Russia," again?
"Germany is totally controlled by Russia" Donald Trump says at the #NATOSummit as he awaits impeachment over Russian collusion.
— JOHN NICOLSON (@MrJohnNicolson) July 11, 2018
Donald Trump called Germany "a captive of Russia." He's like the kind of guy who tries to blame his farts on the dog, but instead of farts, it's treason.
— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) July 12, 2018
Trump is checking off Putin's wish list.
Weaken western alliances (NATO) ✅
Undermine the US-led liberal democratic order ✅
Undermine Americans' faith in their institutions ✅
Lift sanctions (IN PROGRESS)

Macron in the middle
Remember when French President Emmanuel Macron visited the U.S. and got all chummy with the president? Well, things got real weird this time around with Macron trying to balance his (calculated?) friendship with the president with his relationship with the rest of his allies. Trump has a tendency to talk to and about people like they wholeheartedly agree with him, which made for some awkward moments for the French prez.
Like when Trump reasserted his argument that Germany is "totally controlled" by Russia. Macron was barely able to get out a quick "no, no" before Trump continued speaking for the two of them. It was also reported that Trump asked Macron privately to leave the World Trade Organization. Awkward.
It was all for nothing?
Right before his departure, Donald Trump gathered reporters for an impromptu press conference — never good. In the conference he announced that he got everything that he wanted and other countries will be increasing their NATO spending.
When asked if he was going to change his cooperative tone once he's out of the country (as he's been known to do), he replied by referencing one of his greatest hits — "I'm a very stable genius."
Mission accomplished? Apparently not. Both Emmanuel Macron and the NATO chief said that the increases in spending are still going to follow the original schedule. Oh boy.
Asked for a yes or no answer on whether NATO allies agreed to boost defense spending — as Trump asserted — NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg tells Christiane Amanpour, "We agreed to make good on the commitments we have made." A telling non-answer.

Short Lived Bike Gang
yesterday it was randomly 70 degrees! it felt so perfect! so we went on a bike ride to downtown nashville!
we didn't get started until four. so you can see the sun was already starting to go down. we went from crystal and marc's house to shelby bottoms park. there were some big hills that i had to walk my bike up. it was also the first time i have ridden in the city. i was so scared of falling off my bike into the road and getting run over!!
we stopped in the park and ate our packed lunch. i had an almond butter and jelly sandwich, and even though travis was going on and on about how amazing it was it didn't really taste different from peanut butter to me.
we rode around the pond, but we didn't explore much of the park because it was getting dark and we had a long way to go. travis had to rig my pants to stay up! my pants and belt are too big now, but i don't want to buy new pants yet so i feel like they are always about to fall down.
we rode all the way to the pedestrain bridge. we saw a lot of cute scary dogs and people enjoying the weather out on their porches. there are tons of cute houses in east nashville but now that it's getting getrified they are so expensive! dangit.
we walked through town to the bus station and saw this cute grafitti. i was really nervous about us getting tickets because you aren't supposed to bike at night without headlights. it sucked riding through downtown. the bike lanes dissapear and it's really busy.
then we got to the bus station! but we forgot the buses don't run as frequently on sundays! so travis had to make a few trips to get all the bikes and people back. we randomly watched the grammy's at crystal's house? did any one see M.I.A.'s hilarious pregnancy outfit? and they said her baby was due that day!! hahahah. and blink182 is back together! yay! so exciting! i'm sore and tired today but i'm glad we got out and enjoyed the nice day. it's going to get cold again.

Each week, on Tuesday, I caught the train to Nunu's. From the station, you turn left, then left again. You can almost see her house, at the end of the road, in a block of terraces. She lives by the railway line, in a new neighbourhood, wasteland till recently. It's not far, just a few minutes' walk, but the road peters out. There's a dirt track and not much lighting. I haven't been for a while. They may have fixed it. Whatever it's like, you have to keep walking if you want to get to Nunu's.
The first time I went, it was cold and wet. There were puddles I couldn't see. It depressed me. Worse, the streets were so new, they weren't on the map. I had to find her before I called her Nunu. The track wound along, with the railway on the left and a line of back fences on the right. The houses faced away, pointedly, as if they didn't like trains. Where the road finished, and the track began, you could see the back of Nunu's, but you couldn't get in. There was no gate, no opening in the fence. Cracks need time. You had to walk all the way around.
Once, she'd watched for me. After that, every week, as I walked along, I pictured her at the window, behind the curtain. She'd see me in a moment, when I turned the corner. I pictured her now. It was almost the last time. I didn't know, but I felt miserable, like the first lesson. It wasn't raining. It was a premonition.
When I walked in, she was reading as usual, or pretending to, but she didn't look up. She even held the book differently. It was Alice in Wonderland, read angrily. It's possible. I saw her do it.
"You're not sick of me already?" I said. "It's a world record!" Silence. "You've been on that page a long time." Her clothes were different too. The tight top was gone. She wore a loose jumper. "I know girls who'd give their right leg to sit with me for an hour. Their left leg, too."
She choked a giggle, recovered, then went on pretending to read. After the giggle, she was even angrier. The rabbit was at it too, chewing furiously. They made a good pair.
Somehow, the lesson started. Nunu had a pen in her mouth. I saw some wetness.
"That's girl slime," I said. "I'd scream if you touched me with that."
She tapped it on my arm.
"Did you fart?" she enquired.
"It was the rabbit." Her pet was beside the table. I could only see its ears, poking through the top of the cage. "I don't know which way it's facing. I can't go on. I need to make sure it's listening."
She stuck her tongue out. At the same time, a thought hopped through my head: The
rabbit's replacing me.
"I remember our first lesson," I said. "I thought you were mean and horrible." Nunu looked at me. "Then I thought you were sweet. I told your mother. Now you're mean and horrible again."
She'd done her homework, the last half-decent one. It was comprehension. She read out her answers. The first began: 'In my opinion, I think–"
The two phrases, I explained, meant the same thing, like saying: It's a very warm, hot day. Nunu sulked; she said her mother had told her what to write. In my opinion, I think. It wasn't so bad. I was having my revenge on Nunu for the times I'd asked and got no opinion at all.
At the end of the lesson, she hurried out. I mentioned the phrases to mother – better get in first, before Nunu. Mother mightn't like being wrong.
"She said you told her what to write. If she was five, I wouldn't have bothered. At that age, Mummy's always right. But she's not five. She's sitting the 11+. I have to tell the truth."
"I didn't tell her to write it."
"You did, you did!" cried Nunu, shrill and tragic, from the next room.
The cage is open. The rabbit's there, twitching its nose. You look away and back – it's not where you thought it was.

Celebs Were Pretty in Pink at the 2018 SAG Awards
The 2018 Golden Globes may have been all about black, but when it came to the 2018 SAG Awards, it seemed like just about every other celeb to hit the red carpet was pretty in pink. While it's unclear if the color choice was intentional to coincide with yesterday's Women's Marches or merely the next trending big wave of the beloved hue, its presence was undeniable: Read on to see all the ladies that spanned the pink rainbow, from baby pink and rose gold to bright bold fuchsia, below!

4. Connie Britton: Britton was right on trend in rose gold thanks to Elisabetta Franchi, who designed her sparkly masterpiece. She also leaned on Jacquie Achie and Jennifer Meyer bling and Jimmy Choo accessories for a little extra sheen. (Photo via Frederick M. Brown/Getty)
5. Dakota Fanning: Fanning's peachy-pink and silver strapless Prada gown matched her glowing skin, set off even further by Fred Leighton jewels. (Photo via Kevork Djansezian/Getty)

I'm in danger of turning into one of 'those mums'. Actually, who am I kidding? I already am one. I make comments that other people don't even think, let alone say out loud. I openly talk about my failings as a parent, and fears for the future. I'm not afraid to make bold decisions if it will enhance my family's lives. Ultimately all I want is for my children to grow up happy.
I think it's largely because of the way I grew up. Dysfunctionally without a doubt, but lets not beat around the bush here, I was also abused in all directions. Sexually. Emotionally. Physically. The damage my childhood had on my mental health as a young adult was monumental. I partied hard, and drank far too much. I got myself into a lot of trouble, and very almost crossed the line to the point of no return.
Turning it all around
I made a conscious decision one day to turn my life around, and with the enduring support of my then boyfriend (now husband) and great friends, I was able to break the cycle of negativity. I had the strength to disassociate myself from toxic influences, and stop myself from repeating behaviour that had previously caused me so many problems. I even went on to write a book about my experiences, which remains one of my greatest achievements to date.
I have often wondered how different life would have been had I not met the incredible people I did on my journey. I don't have a crystal ball, but I'm pretty sure it would have had disastrous consequences. This is what life is like for plenty of young people across the country.
Children who've emerged into adulthood full of demons from the things they've seen and had to do just to survive. Not a friend in sight to help them on their way. Thankfully charities like The Children's Society exist to help these people rebuild their lives.
The Children's Society need your help!
In less than one week (13 June), MPs will debate the protections available to 16 and 17 year olds being sexually exploited like Eva, Chloe and Jemma. Please take action to support the high-profile Seriously Awkward campaign, which has reached approximately 75m people in the media with over 400 items of news coverage and influence this crucial debate for young people being down by the law.
[tweetthis][insert your local MP here] Support @childrensociety by attending #SeriouslyAwkward debate in parliament on 13/06/16[/tweetthis]
Please tweet your MP (right now) by clicking on the box above or using this simple form, and ask them to be there to back the changes needed.
The first time the bill was debated in Parliament earlier in the year, a record number of campaigners asked their MP to be there. Despite being only a few lines in this enormous bill, it became the most talked about the campaign at the debate.
You may not think so, but one tweet can have an impact, and will make a huge difference at this vital stage of the campaign
Thanks in advance for your support! Should you wish to learn more about the work The Children's Society do, please head over to their website. I also found the video below really useful, do check it out if you have a couple of minutes to spare.

With the Academy Awards approaching this Sunday, the buzz surrounding the event is similar to what it's been the past few Oscar ceremonies. What kind of political rhetoric will be spewed?
Michael Moore (accepting Best Documentary award for "Bowling for Columbine" in 2003): "We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it's the fiction of duct tape or fiction of orange alerts, we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you."
Sean Penn (during acceptance speech of Best Actor award for "Mystic River" in 2004): "One thing we actors know, other than there were no WMDs…"
Chris Rock, last year's emcee: "I'm not going to bash Bush here tonight. I saw 'Fahrenheit 9/11.' I think Bush is a genius. I think Bush did some things this year that nobody in this room could do. ... Because Bush basically reapplied for his job. And can you imagine applying for a job and while you're applying there's a movie in every theater in the country that shows how much you suck at the job? It would be hard to get hired, wouldn't it?"
This year's extravaganza will be emceed by Jon Stewart, who makes his living hosting the faux news program "The Daily Show", which parodies politics, etc.
In Charles Krauthammer's most recent column, I believe he provides some great insights to the continued depravity in Hollywood.
Nothing tells you more about Hollywood than what it chooses to honor. Nominated for best foreign film is "Paradise Now", a sympathetic portrayal of two suicide bombers. Nominated for best picture is "Munich,'' a sympathetic portrayal of yesterday's fashion in barbarism: homicide terrorism.
But until you see "Syriana", nominated for best screenplay (and George Clooney, for best supporting actor) you have no idea how self-flagellation and self-loathing pass for complexity and moral seriousness in Hollywood.
"Syriana's'' script has, of course, the classic liberal tropes such as this stage direction: "The Deputy National Security Advisor, MARILYN RICHARDS, 40's, sculpted hair, with the soul of a seventy year-old white, Republican male, is in charge'' (Page 21). Or this piece of over-the-top, Gordon Gekko Republican-speak, placed in the mouth of a Texas oilman: "Corruption is our protection. Corruption is what keeps us safe and warm. ... Corruption ... is how we win'' (Page 93).
The political candidates supported by Hollywood folks continue to be rejected on Election Day. So how does Hollywood react? Like a bunch of petulant children. They don't get their way so they attempt to belittle and smear the victors.
Most liberalism is angst- and guilt-ridden, seeing moral equivalence everywhere. "Syriana" is of a different species entirely -- a pathological variety that burns with the certainty of its malign anti-Americanism. Osama bin Laden could not have scripted this film with more conviction.
It will be interesting to see if bin Laden quotes movie lines from "Syriana" like he did with "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Kids love to countdown to Christmas. Parents Love to countdown to Back to School! Over the next 25 days Kilter Crusaders will be posting a tip every few days on how to make #BTS16 the best one on the books.
Fun Fact
There are ~180 instructional days during the school year, and ~80 days off for summer break. That means there are about 90 days off during the school year. Hey, if we can count weekends for summer break then they can count as days off during the school year too!
Tip of the Day
Honestly, most kids and parents are probably not really ready for summer to be over just yet. (Unless, they attend a year round school; then they're probably starting session any day now.) Our tip for today is to ask your child about their favorite school memory. Actively listen, ask questions, get them to use adjectives of how they felt, what they smelled, and a simile for colors. Adding these simple steps into your daily routine will help your child get excited about Back to School.

Hi, folks!
Minus Tide at 7:57 AM of -0.7 feet.
55f and fairly windy and mostly cloudy at the moment. We've a good chance of rain mid-afternoon and then overnight into tomorrow.
Yesterday we got to the shop fairly early, so managed to do some picking up, but it's still a mess, but improved from Friday. We had some customers in while Tempus and I were scrambling around. No one showed for Herbs, so I processed a few more to get them out of the way and then sorted bottles for a bit. After that I was concentrating on getting things re-set in the office space for my big computer desk and for the easy chair.
>>>>> >>>>>>>> Finally got a pic of the crow! >>>>>>>>>
Tempus headed up to the house around 1:30. I was getting horribly sleepy and just wanted to curl up, but I needed to get the space ready. Several more customers came in, some Valley and some local after that and I woke up a little. I cleaned up the easy chair corner and worked on getting the space for the big computer desk ready, did some shelf organizing, then went over to clean up the coffee table area where we do projects and ended up sewing. 🙂
5-ish he was back with my chair and paper sorter and I spent quite awhile getting that put back together. Tempus got the small student chair into the car and at that point we closed up and headed to the house for one more load.
I started with putting together the stuff that I wanted for the apartment from the study, then went outside and cut and dug fennel for today's potluck and then went into the back yard and harvested some bay. Tempus was pulling drawers from things and loading boxes. I ended up collapsing in the car. That was a *lot* of effort! I have the main fennel plant also trimmed and ready to dig and pot up. When Tempus was ready we took part of the load to storage and headed home.
He offloaded the car while I set up chops for supper, then he took them upstairs to bake and to visit while I was putting away some of the foodly things that we had brought home yesterday. We had chops with buttered corn and pickles for supper and then crashed, but I woke up again around 4:30 and didn't get back to sleep until about 6:30. <sigh> That *would* happen on a day when I needed my sleep!
Tempus is making coffee and we'll head for the shop as soon as it's made. I'm going to be working on a couple of dishes made with the fennel that I harvested yesterday, and prepping the rest of the fennel for drying and freezing. Tempus is going to be running around and then head up to the house and when Marius gets there, they're going to be hauling some of the big stuff around to storage and to the apartment. Eventually we'll sit down and have our potluck and work on projects…. maybe…. it's going to be a heavy work day. Yes, the shop will be open. Hopefully, the mess will ebb and flow…. more ebb than flow…. hopefully….
Today's Plant is Rhubarb, Rheum rhabarbarum. Best known as "pie plant" or in strawberry and rhubarb jam this is a wonderful and nutritious stalk vegetable, that has been legally counted as a fruit, because of its uses. The roots have been used as a laxative for thousands of years, and the stalks, while strong-tasting when uncooked with no sugar, are delicious in sauces, pies, jellies, juice and so on, but the leaves are poisonous. It is very easy to grow since the roots will over-winter, even if the stalks die back and it's one of the earliest vegetables to be harvestable. – Feminine, Venus Earth. – Wear a dried piece to help with stomach or gut pain and for general protection. The pie served to a mate helps to maintain fidelity and is an aphrodisiac, especially when combined with strawberries. More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhubarb

Remember: what goes up must come down. Phase ends at the Tide Change on 6/4 at 8pm.
The bright evening Moon forms very different geometrical patterns with Mars, Saturn, and Antares on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings (May 20th, 21st, and 22nd). The Moon now rises in twilight with Saturn about 4° to its right (as seen from North America). Mars and Antares are farther to their right, as shown above.
Mars at opposition, May 2016 – Sunday, May 22, 7 a.m. EDT – Mars is directly opposite the sun in the sky, and is visible all night long.
Mars (magnitude –2.0, at the head of Scorpius) reaches opposition Saturday night May 21–22. It's closest to Earth on May 30th. After dark, orange-yellow Mars shines in the southeast almost as brightly as white Jupiter high in the southwest. Look for Antares about 9° lower left of Mars during evening, and Saturn 7° or 8° to the left of Antares. The Mars-Antares-Saturn triangle stands highest in the south around 1 or 2 a.m.; this is the best time for telescopic viewing of the two planets. By early dawn the triangle is low in the southwest, now with Saturn over Antares. In a telescope all this week and next, Mars appears 18.4 to 18.6 arcseconds in diameter, its biggest and best until July 2018. See our telescopic guide to Mars, with map, in the April Sky & Telescope, page 48, or the version online. And set our Mars Profiler for your time and date. If you're ambitious and have a big scope, now's the time to try hunting Phobos and Deimos, the two tiny Martian moons, using the June Sky & Telescope, page 48.

Rhubarb Reviving A Forgotten Crop by Jennifer Ludden
Morning Edition, June 26, 2009 – Years ago, Jim Crawford, a farmer in south central Pennsylvania, noticed that one of his summer loves — rhubarb — had fallen out of favor. Neighbors near his New Morning Farm were letting this tart perennial languish in their gardens, too lazy to dig it up, too uninterested to harvest it. Crawford offered to buy what they were growing and sell it at the farmers markets around Washington, D.C., where he's been operating stands for 37 years.
"It sounds funny," Crawford says, "but it was kind of common that people seemed to have that attitude about rhubarb. Dismissive. And then, of course, when they got $1.60 a pound for it they said, 'Hey, you know, this stuff is worth something!'"
In recent years, Crawford has seen resurgence in demand for rhubarb, often fueled by nostalgia. Ed Kahl, a customer at one of Crawford's fresh fruit stands, says he grew up eating rhubarb dishes.
"It reminds me of my grandmother and mother, and they made these luscious pies. I'll probably just buy it and let it rot in my refrigerator! But I have aspirations to make a pie."– rhubarb chunks in fruit-flavored gelatin. (He admits this sounds a bit gross, but he swears it makes a great buffet dish.)
Another customer, Janet Katz, says rhubarb makes her nervous.
"I've cooked everything but rhubarb. I'm afraid it'll be too sour or chewy or something," she says.
Crawford finds this attitude a lot, so he posts a "helpful hints" sign by the box of glistening red stalks.
"It's the easiest thing in the world to cook," he says. "You just chop it up and put some sweetener with it, and put it in a pan with a tight lid, and in about five minutes it just melts like butter."
Crawford sweetens his with maple syrup, but sugar works, too. He likes rhubarb sauce over ice cream. He also puts rhubarb in jam, chutney and a whole array of pies, not just the classic strawberry-rhubarb combo.
"In fact, I really like it better with apples. It's really good with raspberries. It's really good with peaches," he says.
Whatever's in season, Crawford says, rhubarb gives it pizzazz.

Luigi Sestili 8 May 2018 FSA PRESENT THE NEW FLOWTRON DROPPER SEATPOST The time is here! Full Speed Ahead has released the new Flowtron dropper seatpost, engineered for the next-generation of mountain bikers.The biggest improvement from the FSA first-generation seatposts is this new one-piece head and shaft. This design means it can drop lower than their original design, enabling the rider to adjust how firm or light they want the lever actuation to feel.Inside, FSA has added a third round brass key, which "tightens up the side play and increases the wear life." FSA has also dropped 100 grams off the post by moving to an aluminium lightweight alloy sealed cartridge with a 6mm shaft in place of the steel cartridge with an 8mm shaft.The internal cable routing has the cable head simply popping into place on the bottom of the post.Flowtron is available in 125mm and 150mm travel, and 30.9 and 31.6mm versions. The lighter version (125mm/30.9mm) weighs 595 grams. Other specs include a 0º setback, 285mm and 310mm insertion depths, and 421mm and 446mm lengths.Finally a particular treat about the name, Flowtron is a crazy fun trail at Tokul East outside Seattle, near FSA USA headquarters, where this dropper seatpost was developed.The new FSA Flowtron dropper seatpost is available on: www.fullspeedahead.com.

Stephen Fry, the British actor best known in the States for his recurring role on the TV show Bones and his tasteful nude scene in Guy Ritchie's last Sherlock Holmes movie, also happens to be bipolar. After being diagnosed at the age of 37, he sought understanding of his illness by reconnecting with people from his past and discussing his troubled youth in which he exhibited behaviors now recognizable as symptoms of mania, stealing and profligate spending being the standouts. He also reaches out to other bipolar folks, including a college student struggling to fathom how her illness affects her creativity as a writer, a heavily medicated woman prone to catatonic stupor, two brothers who were diagnosed bipolar at the ages of 11 and 17, and bipolar actors Carrie Fischer and Richard Dreyfuss.
The documentary examines the high risk of suicide amongst sufferers of bipolar disorder through interviews with a man who survived after putting himself in the path of a moving bus (be forewarned: you get a good look at what the ordeal did to his legs) and the parents of a bipolar woman who killed herself at the age of 27. Other subjects include over-medication, the prevalence of bipolar disorder in Hollywood, the difficulties and dangers of managing bipolar disorder while pregnant, and electroconvulsive therapy.
It's two hours long, broken up into two parts. There's an issue with the dubbing, which is unfortunate because it's a wonderful film; in 2007 Fry took home an Emmy for his efforts. I recommend this not only for those of us suffering from bipolar disorder but also our friends and family who want a better understanding of the illness.

Self-storage companies are seeking growth opportunities by snapping up vacant anchor spaces at malls or by buying up lagging strip centers outright. At Richmond Town Square mall, in Richmond Heights, Ohio, the bulk of a 162,200-square-foot former Macy's is on track to become a self-storage facility operated by third-party manager CubeSmart.
The SpareFoot Storage Beat, a blog published by online storage marketplace SpareFoot, recounts a raft of similar deals: In Birmingham, Ala., a developer aims to convert the former Sears at Century Plaza into a Metro Mini Storage; in Lancaster, Calif., U-Haul will transform a shuttered Kmart into an 80,000-square-foot storage facility; and in Augusta, Ga., a developer spent about $1.7 million to buy an ailing strip center and turn it into a 45,000-square-foot storage facility.
Likewise, a representative of the Alexandria, Va.–based Self Storage Association recounts retail-repurposing deals in Florida, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. U-Haul remade an abandoned Piggly Wiggly store in Saukville, Wis., into a self-storage facility and also announced plans to repurpose a Baraboo, Wis., strip center into a moving-and-storage facility. This property, formerly anchored by JCPenney, measures roughly 170,000 square feet.
"Malls and shopping centers tend to be in high-traffic locations. That makes them potentially attractive sites for repurposing as self-storage facilities."
Repurposing retail sites is a clear trend in the self-storage sector, says Cory Sylvester, principal of New York City–based Union Realtime. This analytics firm and site-selection platform bills itself as the clearinghouse for in-depth data on every self-storage operator and market in the U.S. "There's a notable amount of interest from [self-storage] developers in repurposing retail sites," he said. The biggest driver is the influx of retail boxes and properties hitting the market in the wake of retailer bankruptcies and closures, he says. "Malls and shopping centers tend to be in high-traffic locations," Sylvester said. "That makes them potentially attractive sites for repurposing as self-storage facilities."
On the retail side, self-storage is certainly coming up more frequently in conversations about potential solutions for excess retail space, says Richard Latella, a Cushman & Wakefield executive managing director who heads the retail valuations team. "It is one of many nonretail uses that we are starting to hear more about," he said. "It's a viable alternative, and I think we'll see more of these deals happening in the future."
Over the past decade or so, the self-storage sector has transitioned from focusing primarily on far-flung industrial areas to opening more locations in dense commercial districts, according to Kate Spencer, a Cushman & Wakefield managing director and co-leader of the firm's self-storage practice. The shift coincided with a development boom for the industry that, according to some analysts, may soon reach a plateau. "The period from 2017 to the end of this year is expected to be the peak of development as far as new self-storage supply coming on the market," Spencer said.
According to data that Union Realtime has compiled, the sector gained 791 self-storage facilities last year, more than double the number in 2016. Nationally, net rentable square feet of self-storage grew by 1.3 percent in 2016 and by 2.7 percent in 2017. Texas leads industry growth, with three markets in the top 10: Austin, Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston.
In the race for space, self-storage retailers have proved willing to alter their prototypes to squeeze onto smaller parcels in densely populated markets. Of course, this has broadened the types and sizes of retail properties they are willing to consider as possible sites, Spencer says. "We've really started to see more vertical storage facilities on smaller parcels of land — generally, from one and a half to two acres," she said. "These are in prime retail locations." This willingness to go vertical happens to mean that multilevel anchor boxes are now a potential fit for self-storage users, unlike in eras past. Moreover, the economics of adaptive reuse also tend to work in favor of retailers and landlords looking to dispose of excess space. "The costs to convert an existing retail building into self-storage are significantly less than building from the ground up," Spencer said.
In the Midwest in February, one self-storage developer bought a stand-alone Babies 'R' Us building, planning to add a second level. Even this dramatic alteration of the property would be cheaper than building a facility from scratch, Spencer says. "They were willing to pay more for the building, because they could go vertical with that box," said Spencer, who appraised the building on behalf of the developer. "I've seen it a couple of times."
Generally speaking, self-storage developers need a minimum of about 50,000 to 70,000 square feet to turn a profit, Spencer says. Their parking requirements are minimal. For example, one 195,000-square-foot self-storage facility in the Dallas–Fort Worth market has just 16 spaces, Spencer notes. These dynamics reduce the likelihood of parking-related clashes between self-storage operators and any adjacent retailers at the property.
The key thing for landlords to understand, Spencer says, is that self-storage tenants buy buildings, or portions of them, rather than sign leases and pay rent. Typically, individual investors and developers own these businesses, and third-party managers with the expertise and the economies of scale that come with maintaining national portfolios operate them. Among the top names are CubeSmart, Extra Space Storage and Life Storage. "It is a win-win for both parties, because a company like Extra Space really knows the market, as well as how to market and lease self-storage facilities," Spencer said.
"The key thing for landlords to understand is that self-storage tenants buy buildings, or portions of them, rather than sign leases and pay rent."
When it comes to site-selection, self-storage operators generally focus on trade areas of within three to five miles of suburban locations. In addition to scrutinizing population density and average household income in these areas, they like to see a lot of nearby renters. "The higher the percentage of renters the better," Spencer said. "The thinking is that people who are renting don't generally have the space in their own homes for all of their stuff. And when you're renting and need more storage, it's cheaper to rent a storage facility than to try to find a bigger place."
Trade-area household size is yet another key site-selection criterion for these tenants, and, here again, more is better. "If your average household size is nearly three people or maybe slightly higher than that, we have found that that induces demand for storage," Spencer said. Other factors include how many people are moving to the area, job growth and the average amount of storage space per person in the marketplace. Nationally, that figure stands at about 7 square feet per person, Spencer says.
Union Realtime's cloud-based platform enables anyone looking for suitable sites to crunch the numbers in this highly localized sector. Retailers and landlords with excess space could use the tool to determine the suitability of particular sites for repurposing as a self-storage facility, Sylvester says. By calling up an online map, users can click on the site in question and get such information as how many self-storage facilities there already are in the trade area, the population density, any new projects under planning or in construction, and even real-time rental rates. "You can actually see it by individual facility," Sylvester said. "If you wanted to see what the competition is charging for a 10-by-10 self-storage unit, you just click on the location, and it will show you everything you need to know."
In Latella's view, self-storage tenants are likely to play a growing role in retail real estate as retailers and landlords continue adapting to store closures and bankruptcies. He cites the February Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of Bon-Ton Stores, which had already announced plans to shutter 47 stores and is now moving to close 42 more. "Larger-size boxes, whether you're talking about Kmart, Sears, Macy's or Bon-Ton, are closing in big numbers, and our firm predicts that this will accelerate into 2018," Latella said. "For some of these boxes, self-storage users could be reasonably viable alternatives."

I was disturbed, depressed and blank,
For I had no clue where to treat him.
Saw a few who could do nothing,
And I reluctantly pinged my friend.
Angel is she who guided me,
For I was totally lost.
Took my father who was too weak,
With his medical records with some hope.
Read through the records silently,
And he said, "let's not wait."
Burst out loudly out of control,
But he assured it cannot cured but can be controlled.
Trust is the feeling I got at first sight,
For he was too humble for his godly deeds.
Has healing hands and a humble heart,
Practices medicine with so much care.
Lifts the dying and makes them walk,
And I see him as a son of God.
Dedicate this to Dr. Varadarajan, Haematologist

My sister and I on the 4th
This weekend was spent enjoying family, fireworks, and freedom. Every year we have a huge party to celebrate the 4th of July (even having a memorial for Gma the year she died on that day), and I love it. We don't do the parade, or the city's fireworks (both get a little crazy), but we spend the day lounging in the pool, eating delicious food, and spending time together. At night we set off fireworks of our own, and then go our separate ways.
This weekend was special, because my Aunt Elsie (Gma's sister) is in town. Thursday we began our celebrating, by celebrating her birthday chicken spanaki (recipe from The Parthenon in Chicago), hummus, Naan bread, and rice pilaf. So so so good. Friday she bought pizza for us all, and we hung out. Then of course Saturday was spent celebrating and soaking up the sun, and then the celebration continued into Sunday, where we floated, tanned, and had fun all day, ordering Chinese for dinner, and spending time together.
Honestly, it was one of the best weekends I've had in some time. The weather was perfect, and so was the company. I loved spending time with family and friends in the pool and enjoying the food (of course!).
Today was back to reality though. Yesterday should have been, but after I stayed up all night watching Dance Academy, I slept all day. Oops. Today, I work. I'm actually at work right now, on the phones. I was terrified to do them this morning (my first time), but it's not too terrible. I just ask a lot of questions. And I mean a lot of questions.
I actually enjoy working though. And I really enjoy packing snacks for work. Today's snack was healthy: a heaping pile of baby carrots, hummus, Medjool dates, and a Babybel cheese.
Anyway, back to phone duty!

Last week, the Wiggles, complete with Sam, were on Good Morning America. I wasn't really looking at Sam because I was way too focused on sexy Anthony (the blue Wiggle) who at the time was hopping like a kangaroo. So, in my defense, I was distracted.
Eli asked, "Mommy, why is Greg wearing his hair like that?" Without thinking, I responded, "That's not Greg, sweetie. That's Sam, the new Wiggle." (Insert head slap here.) I realized my mistake as soon as it came out of my mouth.
I looked at Eli, whose eyes were about to bug out of his head. "But, where's Greg?!!!" he practically screamed. I couldn't really back peddle, so I just said, "Well, Greg retired so he could stay home with his family. Sam's the new yellow Wiggle, and he looks like he's going to be a lot of fun." Then I think I even clapped and said "Yay!"
He wasn't buying it. Eli's response? "I DON'T LIKE SAM! I WANT TO SEE GREG!" Well, crap on a stick. Thinking fast, I said, "You will! You will still see Greg!" I explained that it's like Blue's Clues. Since they run old ones and new ones, sometimes, you see Joe and sometimes you see Steve. I told him it was like that. Sometimes you'll see Sam and sometimes you'll see Greg.
