Latest Success in ALS Research is Fundamental for the Future of Neurotechnology
By Matthew T. Dearing On August 1, 2008 · Leave a Comment · In Neurons & Genes
It might not be immediately obvious how research developments in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS — or, Lou Gehrig's Disease) would be appropriate to follow here on Neuron News. However, this author has a personal family member currently dealing with the devastating disease, so we've been personally reviewing the progress in the field. And, with a little trivial forward thinking, there is an important connection with the advancement of neurotechnology.
Yesterday, a collaboration between Columbia and Harvard Universities announced in Science a fabulous new development that offers promise in the short-term discovery of drugs as well as longer term neuro-therapeutic technologies.
The key problem with ALS patients is that motor neurons–particularly those affecting function in breathing and swallowing–degenerate and die off for unknown reasons. So, the general idea of this research program is to develop a technique to take skins cells of a patient and convert them into stem cells, or the "universal cell" that can potentially turn itself into any other cell given just the right biochemical nudge. Now, with a vast supply of genetically appropriate stem cells that will agree with the personal biology of the patient, convert them into motor neurons and implant them into regions of the body to integrate into neural systems that have been severely degraded by the disease.
This is certainly an exciting development for nearing potential therapies for ALS, although real clinical progress is likely still many years away. If you know of anyone affected by ALS or are interested in supporting the research, please thoroughly read the articles referenced below and consider a donation to The ALS Association.
In addition, this research provides experimental evidence of a new technique developed just last Fall called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. This is a very important fundamental technological advance that should guide the future of neurotechnologies.
Specifically, if neuroprosthetic devices are to be successfully integrated into the nervous system of a human being, it seems reasonable that the genetic make-up of the neurons living on the implanted device should compatible, if not identical, to the genetics of the host neurons. There might be unrealized neuro-communication factors that are influenced by genetic coding, and a fully successful device might need to be grown using neurons developed directly from the human host.

Here is an easy way to test a local site on your mobile devices (or any computers on your network for that matter), thanks to xip.io.
- You will need your local machine 's IP address
- A local website with a local domain name (you can easily set these up via Mamp Pro or Anvil).
What is xip.io?
xip.io is a magic domain name that provides wildcard DNS for any IP address. Say your LAN IP address is 10.0.0.1. Using xip.io:
10.0.0.1.xip.io resolves to 10.0.0.1
www.10.0.0.1.xip.io resolves to 10.0.0.1
mysite.10.0.0.1.xip.io resolves to 10.0.0.1
foo.bar.10.0.0.1.xip.io resolves to 10.0.0.1
Example: "my-local-site.dev"
- Fetch your local server's IP address. For instance, mine is 192.168.1.39. It might be wise to make it a Fixed ip address. You can do this through the router config options. If you're not sure how, just search for "[your router make/model] assign IP to computer" or something similar. This isn't strictly necessary but it will save a lot of hassle down the line if you reboot your router and all the local IPs change.
- Set up your local domain in Mamp. When that is done, your website is now accessible locally (on your local dev machine) via the URL http://my-local-site.dev
- add an alias that you create using this scheme:
At this point, your website is now accessible locally (via
http://my-local-site.dev) and externally (via
- If your site uses a database (like WordPress does), you may need to make sure it recognizes both urls. How to do that depends on your codebase. Here is how to do it for a WordPress instance: edit your local wp-config.php file and use the Alias domain instead of the local domain, and you're all set!
define('WP_HOME', 'http://my-local-site.dev.192.168.1.39.xip.io');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://my-local-site.dev.192.168.1.39.xip.io');

Pakistani Slam Poet Bags New Literary Award
The Jaipur LitFest is giving South Asia's literary scene its big annual get-together. But what about a big literary prize that authors and publishers can get worked up about years in advance?
That box may just have been ticked. At the Jaipur Literature Festival on Saturday afternoon, Pakistani author H.M. Naqvi was awarded the first DSC Prize for South Asian Literature for his novel "Home Boy."
"Home Boy" starts as an urban tale of three young Pakistanis in New York, "a gangsta rap spouting academic," a Pashtoon DJ, and a kid who just emigrated to the U.S. Together, they set off in search of their own kind of American Dream with 9/11 looming around the corner.

Before moving to Karachi, Mr. Naqvi spent years in the U.S. where—among other things—he was a slam poet. This slam legacy came across pretty clearly in his rhythmical reading of a passage from his novel, which was about partying and drinking.
Mr. Naqvi's award is the latest sign that Pakistan—a country which has recently rolled out names like Mohammed Hanif, Mohsin Hamid, and Ali Sethi—is really where it's at when it comes to contemporary fiction in the region.
Short-listed for the prize was "The Immortals," by Indian author Amit Chaudhuri, which traces the journey of two families and their love of music in the Mumbai of the 1980s. The other short-listed novels were Musharraf Ali Farooqui's "The Story of a Window," Tania James' "Atlas of Unknowns," Manju Kapur's "The Immigrant" and Neel Mukherjee's "A Life Apart."
As a brand new award, the DSC prize has a long way to go before it comes anywhere near the likes of Britain's Man Booker Prize for clout and reputation. But its $50,000 prize, which is set to be awarded on an annual basis, is a good start.
Although it's still below the Booker's $80,000, it beats the other big Asian literary award, the Man Asia Literary Prize, which stands at $30,000.
To be eligible, novels must meet a few main requirements. They must be about South Asia—defined as including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan and the Maldives.
The second requirement—which might stir some controversy—is that novels have to be written in English or at least available in English translation.
Although some works of literature written in regional languages, including Tamil, Urdu and Nepalese, are available in translation, this condition effectively means leaving out the vast portion which isn't.
But the award places no restriction on the nationality or ethnic origin of the actual author. This makes books written by non-South Asians eligible for the prize. We can only guess this may not go down too well among the likes of Hartosh Singh Bal, who in a recent article accused British author and festival co-director William Dalrymple of neo-Orientalist tendencies.
Weirdly, to be eligible books must have been published between April 1 and March 31 of the following year—dates that correspond to most companies' "financial year," the time frame they use to calculate earnings and to set business targets.
This may have something to do with the sponsors of the prize: the Indian-based construction and infrastructure development company DSC Ltd., part of the large business conglomerate DSC Group. They are also the main sponsor of the Jaipur Literature Festival.

The roots of our company began back in 2002 when Mr Huy Lam Nguyen founded the HCMC based JVC (Japanese Vietnam Company) together with a Japanese business partner with the aim of providing quality tours in Vietnam to Japanese tourists. Later that year the Japanese partner left to pursue a different path, so Mr Huy restructured the company, widening its services to be offered to all nationalities. The name Hoi An Express was chosen since Hoi An is Mr Huy's home town and one of the most peaceful and beautiful towns in Vietnam. The express part of the company name reflects the core business objective of providing service that is not only high quality, but also prompt.

Primp your finest curtains, perfect your do-re-mis, and prepare for a celebration of all your favourite things – because Sydney's beloved Sing-A-Long-A Sound of Music is returning to the State Theatre for two very special shows next month on February 25th, 2017.
The opulent historic State theatre will act as a European-style backdrop to transport Sydney audiences to the Austrian Alps for the matinee (1.00pm) and evening (7.30pm) shows.
Coming to life for a historic 16th consecutive year, Sing-A-Long-A Sound of Music is the longest running live event in the State Theatre's prestigious 87-year history.
Frauleins and Friedrichs, Louisas and Liesels, Baronesses and Brigittas will join together to revel in an unforgettable interactive experience that makes the audience the star of the show – in a rousing celebration of the greatest musical of all time!
Presented up on the big screen in all of its technicolour glory with song sub-titles to accompany each song, Sing-A-Long–A Sound of Music is a bucket list extravaganza for die-hard fans and dabblers alike.
Each year, hundreds of the films' fanatics go above and beyond dressing to the nines with elaborate and imaginative costumes to rival those of the originals – from gaggles of nuns and brown paper packages tied up with string, to girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes. 'Maria's not an asset to the abbey', but at the Sing-A-Long-A Sound of Music, she's best in show!
This year's shows will again welcome back celebrity host Katrina Retallick, one of Australia's foremost leading ladies with an ever-growing list of theatre, film and television credits to her name.
Katrina will lead the pre-screening vocal warm up, giving a guide to the use of the interactive fun packs and accompanying actions and – with a little help from the audience – judge the much loved and hotly contested costume parade.
"I can't wait to be a part of the event again. The sessions are great fun – and every year someone surprises us and goes that extra mile with their costumes. We've even had a marriage proposal at one of the sessions a few years ago. It's incredible how much the audience gets involved and creates an amazing vibe of group fun and participation," said Katrina Retallick.
The Sound of Music is the most successful movie musical of all time and the number one family film. It features the most irresistible score in movie history. Released in 1965 by 20th Century Fox – written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein and directed by Robert Wise the film was shot in the Austrian Alps of Salzburg; and is based on the true story of Austrian singing family "von Trapp", who became famous and toured the States in the 1940s. In the year the film was made, 2 million additional tourists visited Salzburg, Austria.

The church of St Peter and St Paul has stood in Preston Capes for over 750 years. Parts of the mediaeval structure still remain today, including beautiful corbels representing the eight King Henrys, to be found where the arches join the columns.
The arcade in the south aisle dates from mediaeval times, while the north arcade is thought to have been constructed 200 years later. Dark ironstone was used in the construction of the south arcade and light-colored limestone was used for the north arcade. The pews are notable for their fine poppyhead carvings.
The churchyard contains a number of graves dating back as far as the 1600s, as well as the base of a former preaching cross.
Today the church of St Peter and St Paul's is well attended with services every Sunday (except the first sunday in the month). The Rector is Revd Sue Faulkner.
A group of lay people, known at The Lay Band drawn from the Knightley Benefice, assist Sue Faulkner in her parish work and take some services on her behalf from time to time.

Eric Jaffe
Eric Jaffe is the former New York bureau chief for CityLab. He is the author of A Curious Madness and The King's Best Highway.
Penn Station in New York is as busy as it is cramped. The crowding gets particularly awful once track numbers are announced and everyone scrambles to form a line to board. Recently a few New Jersey Transit riders had been getting a jump on the queue through a website called Clever Commute, which revealed the track information ahead of time. The fun ended last week, reports the Wall Street Journal, when N.J. Transit blocked the necessary data feed.
"It made it a lot more civilized," one rider lamented to the Journal.
There are many reasons boarding N.J. Transit feels less than civilized, particularly when you're squished up close to someone dressed for the Shore in the summertime heat. But the other corners of Penn Station aren't much more comfortable. While there are some decent tricks to boarding Amtrak — none of which will be revealed here, for selfish reasons — the process is essentially the same. People wait for a track number to be announced, then jam toward the gate in a chaotic line that's easy to cut and hard to bear.
Everyone handles waiting on lines with varying degrees of composure, or lack thereof, but there are some universal rules for what we hate about them. The M.I.T. professor Richard Larson, sometimes known as Dr. Queue, described three of them in his famous treatise on the subject from 1987. As Larson's "queueing theory" makes clear, it's not the length of the wait that bothers us so much — it's what might be called the personality of it.
The first element of a queue is what Larson calls its "social justice." Simply put, we hate when someone who arrives at a line after we do gets to the front of it first. "In customers' perceptions of queues, fear of social injustice can often dominate queue waiting times," writes Larson. To control this fear, many business managers employ line restraints like ropes to create a single-file line (sometimes called a serpentine line). Queueing theorists believe people would rather wait longer on a just line than shorter on an unjust one.
The second part of queueing theory is the "environment" of a line. The brief synopsis here is that we hate waiting on a line if all we do on the line is wait. In his 1987 paper (and in this YouTube video from last year), Larson gives the example of the Manhattan Savings Bank in the days before ATMs. Customers hated waiting on the long lines that formed around lunchtime, but the answer to the complaint wasn't more tellers — it was providing live entertainment. When the bank put a concert pianist in the lobby, says Larson, people actually got upset that the line wasn't longer.
The third factor in waiting is "feedback." Larson and other queueing theorists believe that when we're standing on a line, we like to be told when we can expect to be at the front of it. Feedback can come through signs, like they have on lines at Disneyland, or it can come through seeing those in front of us complete the line in regular intervals. Larson suspects a person would much prefer to wait behind 10 people who passed through the line every minute than one person who ends up taking 10 minutes; the total time is the same, but not the psychological effect.
Penn Station lines certainly fail on the first measurement: they lack an orderly system and are vulnerable to cutters from the sides. They also have little in the way of environment; in fact it can be rather stressful to perform the gymnastics of avoiding someone's bag and someone else's backside, all while trying to be kind enough to let in that old couple without giving up your place. The feedback is somewhat consistent but the speed itself is rarely satisfactory because the goal isn't merely to make the train but to get a good seat.
Still some credit where it's due. Unlike Washington's Union Station, for instance, Penn Station earns points for limiting the amount of time spent on the line as much as possible, which it does by delaying the track announcements until the train arrives and, evidently, and banning technology that gives some people an unfair advantage. In that sense the station's lines do demonstrate social justice, in the form of equal-opportunity frustration.

Dockless e-scooters swept cities worldwide in 2018 and 2019. In 2020, expect the battery-powered micromobility revolution to take a new direction.
The automaker-turned-mobility-company announced last week it wants to build a living, breathing urban laboratory from the ground up in Japan.
In cities like New York, Paris, Rotterdam, and soon San Francisco, car-free streets are emerging amid a growing movement.
Turning neighbors into the "eyes and ears of the police" can actually reinforce fear and violence.
As the city's real estate market heats up, neighborhood groups say that cash investors use building code violations to encourage homeowners to sell.

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.2 Corinthians 12:9
We love our own sense of free will, limited as it is.
We have a fear of being without our own private will.
This is one of the aces up the sleeve of the mind.
When we speak of surrender, you feel like
you are giving up your own autonomy to a higher power,
and are not anymore making your own decisions.
You think, 'I may not agree with God.
He may not give me what I want.'
You think you may give up your beautiful life
only to end up like a spiritual vegetable.
But in the experience itself, of surrendering
and tasting the fruit of surrendering,
you see you don't even need to trust.
You are one with the universe, which is
in perfect harmony and alignment with itself.
Why would you have a desire when everything is so perfect?
If everything is perfect, why would you want free will?

Vintage Look – Joseff peacock earrings
In late 1920s Eugene Joseff who has just left his advertising business in Chicago, landed in Hollywood. He was going on set and criticizing that they were using modern jewelry on period films." In his Hollywood home garage, Joseff began experimenting with processes for making costume jewelry. With his brother Jimmy Glaser, he founded Sunset Jewelry Manufacturing. He was doing a lot of tests with what he could accomplish with pouring metal.
At first, Joseff was working with a limited budget, making pieces to order, which inspired him to start renting his jewelry to studios, a concept he pioneered.
In the '30s and '40s, Joseff was supplying over 90 percent of the jewelry in the movies.
Elizabeth Taylor, Marlyn Monroe, Vivienne Lee – you name it! The most iconic Hollywood stars were wearing his jewelry during the film sets.
If you lucky enough, you still can find his signature pieces online or in some small vintage shops. As for me, Im a huge fan of his big metal earnings, and have quite a few of them in my collection.
Yours Aline

KEN Dodd has his own winning poser for ECHO readers.
The comedian, who is celebrating 50 years in show-business, is doing his first interactive show in his home city.
An Evening of Happiness will include the "audience with" format Doddy has successfully recorded for television and on video.
And the highlight of the show will be live questions from the audience.
"It will be a discomknockerating experience," Ken said today.
"What I want are lots of tatifilarious questions to make it a unique night."
The ECHO fundraising gala, at the Liverpool Playhouse on Thursday, June 24-is in aid of Macmillan Cancer Relief.
"It is a charity very close to my heart," said Ken. "So is the Playhouse. It was there that I made my debut as a Shakespearian actor, playing Malvolio in Twelfth Night in November 1971."
ECHO editor Mark Dickinson said: "It's a double ele-whammy - an opportunity to see Britain's greatest comedian, and to raise money for such a splendid cause as Macmillan.
"ECHO readers have already voted Ken the greatest ever Merseysider.
"Now anyone who has already bought a ticket or is buying one can be part of the show, by sending in their questions for Doddy."
The ticket-holder asking the best question submitted to the ECHO will be invited to attend a pre-show champagne reception, attended by Ken Dodd.
They will then be able to ask their question at the show.
Tickets for the gala evening are on sale by phoning the booking line on 0151-708-3733, or by calling in person at the Playhouse or Everyman theatre box offices.
All stalls and circle tickets cost #25, and gallery tickets #15.

NASA just announced a major crew assignment update: Astronaut Eric Boe, who was scheduled to be part of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner's Crew Flight Test, is not flying due to medical reasons.
On Tuesday, NASA confirmed in a press release that E. Michael "Mike" Fincke will replace Boe on the Starliner crew mission, which is set to launch in late 2019. Boe will take Fincke's spot as the assistant to the chief for commercial crew at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Texas.
NASA astronaut E. Michael "Mike" Fincke has been added to the crew of @BoeingSpace's CST-100 Starliner's Crew Flight Test, scheduled to launch later this year: https://t.co/fk7MCsS4po
— NASA Commercial Crew (@Commercial_Crew) January 22, 2019
The Starliner crew mission will be Fincke's fourth space trip. Previously, Fincke served as an International Space Station (ISS) flight engineer on Expedition 9, and commanded the ISS for Expedition 18. Additionally, he was a mission specialist for the STS-134 crew in 2011. To date, the Pennsylvania native has spent 382 days in space and performed nine space walks.
He will join Boeing's Chris Ferguson and NASA's Nicole Mann, who were previously assigned to the Starliner Crew Test Flight mission in 2018. This test flight will mark the first time Boeing's Starliner spaceship will be launched into space with a human crew. Before Ferguson, Fincke, and Mann head to space, Boeing will conduct an uncrewed flight test of the Starliner spaceship soon.

It seems Barnes & Noble has been overwhelmed by purchases of their e-reader, the nook, and is fearful some may not arrive in time to be opened on Christmas Day as a present. The Consumerist is reporting that in order to prepare customers, the bookseller sent an email to some nook buyers stating that it expects delayed shipments to arrive by December 24th, but also stated it was possible that some may not arrive on time.
If buyers don't receive their nook by December 24th they will receive an email on December 23rd stating that fact with a $100 Barnes & Noble online gift certificate. The company will also be sending a nook Holiday Certificate by December 24th as insurance for those who bought the device to give as a gift indicating that a nook for the recipient is on its way if it does not arrive by Christmas Eve.
Barnes & Noble is doing some good damage control because clearly the company believes it is going to miss the Christmas Eve target date for some. At least consumers can expect that as a possibility now with the good news that they are going to get an additional $100 to use themselves or give as well. That's not a bad way to say, "We're sorry".

Building an ESP relationship that meets evolving business needs can be a challenge. Some email marketers wait too long to switch, sometimes long after their priorities have shifted. They don't need to.
Tommy Bahama, the island-inspired lifestyle brand, found itself in exactly that position. Its marketing team had developed a high-performing email program and invested in building a great email reputation, but they saw an opportunity for a better fit with a new ESP. Maintaining its reputation and the benefits it carried was the brand's concern about switching.
Methodical planning and attention to detail led Tommy Bahama through a seamless transition that was almost stress-free for its team and invisible to its customers. Find out how they did it in our latest client success story.

I have been in love with Bon Appetit ever since last year when Gwyneth Paltrow was featured on the cover. I immediately subscribed and have made many recipes from Bon Appetit since then. Now I will be able to share them on my blog which is so exciting! By the way my favorite recipe from the Gwyneth Paltrow edition was the recipe for Grilled Chicken with Peach BBQ Sauce. I've made it multiple times and as soon as there are some good local peaches in season here I will certainly make as post about it!
In the new May 2012 magazine a recipe for Curried Egg Salad caught my eye. I had not made regular "old-fashioned" egg salad since I catered a friends baby shower a couple of years ago and the idea of adding curry made it sound like a perfect weekend brunch food. The recipe only called for 4 eggs and with the 2 hungry boys in my house I decided to double the recipe.
The only thing I changed was that I used Vegenaise instead of mayo. I know, don't make fun of me, I used an egg-less vegan mayo in egg salad. I prefer the taste of it to regular mayo…that's the only good reason I can give you! I also forgot the scallions so I had to leave those out.
Curried Egg Salad (adapted from Bon Appetit)
- 1/2 cup Vegenaise
- 2 small shallots, minced
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 8 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch cubes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Download RM v.1.1 Here for MacOsX!
Now Available: Resurrection Man v.2… re-built from the ground up!
This is the version of Resurrection Man that I am making available for download for my graduate school applications. The fixes are minor but valuable for players: revised main menu; more detailed control menu; and more GUI when players approach graves to remind them to press E to "dig" and Q to "axe". This small update makes RM more user-friendly. I also placed the camera closer to Grandison to make the experience more personal and claustrophobic.
On the downside, there are some problems that require more time to resolve. The "corpse evaluation" that displays when players reach the end of the level only works for "perfect dissection quality" (the best evaluation) and "no bodies, no payment" (if players' choose not to exhume/retrieve any corpses from the grave yard). The evaluation is supposed to display for skeletons, "skeleton model quality," and for slightly decayed corpses, "adequate dissection quality." I am not sure what the issue is because, as far as I am aware, this bug did not effect the previous version of RM that I turned in for my video game design class last month. Other issues include:
- Tree collider fail: Character controller walks through trees even though I have the terrain set to "generate tree colliders." No idea why it's not working…
- No animation for digging or axing behaviors. I am not an animator but I'm going to try to wrangle something later this semester.
- Depleting the coffin "health" entirely does not destroy it's health bar GUI (like the GUI health bar for soil amount).
That said, it is still very much playable and I do like the graphical updates. Here's what I plan to include soon:
- Fix the evaluation system so that it correctly displays for all qualities of corpses/skeletons.
- Expand the grave yard; add more graves.
- Make the space more "historical;" i.e. accurate to the time period (tombstones, some small buildings, etc.).
- Fix the coffin health bar GUI bug.
- Fix the "retrieve corpse?" button so that is destroyed upon being clicked.
- Tree collider.
- Include a health item (whiskey, actually).
- Include a lantern for illumination, with oil resource.
Future ideas include…
- More enemies, e.g. guard dogs.
- Different items to use in the environment, e.g. rope and body bags to secure corpses for carrying across the environment.
- A new level at the medical school that has players "dissect" bodies to learn basic anatomy.
- Much more, if I had an awesomely talented production team. 😉

Peer Engineering, Inc. (Peer) will evaluate and recommend to MPCA groundwater monitoring staff prospective sites/locations for the installation of groundwater monitoring wells to evaluate contaminant/pollutant concentrations from various sources. Peer will oversee the installation of monitoring wells by retaining a state drilling contractor or preparing bid documents to retain well driller through the Department of Administration. Superfund staff will assist in the project by providing oversight of contractual requirements and provide technical assistance as needed.
Approximately 70 percent of all Minnesotans rely on groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. Wells used for drinking water must be properly sealed when removed from service to protect both public health and Minnesota's invaluable groundwater resources. The Minnesota Department of Health protects both public health and groundwater by assuring the proper sealing of unused wells.
Clean Water funds are being provided to well owners as a 50% cost-share assistance for sealing unused public water-supply wells.
The purpose of this effort is to create an educational video that will "bring to life" geo-scientific information related to groundwater movement in southeast Minnesota. This video will be used by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) and other regional partners to help explain the local geology and related groundwater movement. It is anticipated that the video will be used at meetings and other events related to water resource management and natural resource issues. In addition, three stand alone high resolution graphics will be created.

Summer is for walking in the park.
My mom took me and my brothers exploring in the park when we were little. I took my kids exploring in the park. Now I get to take my grandkids to the park.
Usually when I have my oldest daughter's kids, I have them all. Today I only took two. The two born in the middle. We went to a park that was new to them, so we got to explore. Taking off over a hill, not knowing what we'd find, here was this little house. Just their size.
A little further along we came upon this cute bridge.
The path ended at the bridge, so we didn't go to the other side.
However, we spend a long time looking over the edge.
There was just enough water to be interesting.
Finally, there were the swings!
What is a trip to the park without letting the wind whip at your hair on the swing?
This one says, "I swing myself, Grandma!"
Go to the park. Marvel at the beauty of God's creation.
If you can, take a child with you and explore something new.
And whatever you do, don't forget to swing!

Kim Kardashian has made a huge style statement that is also cruelty-free.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is in Vegas with a group of high-school girlfriends seeing Cher in concert. In true KK fashion, she went for it and dressed as her "style icon" Cher. She then posted to Snapchat today, boldly declaring,"Hey guys, these nails only mean I'm here in Vegas to see Cher. I have blue nails, this coat is faux fur. That's my new thing, faux." Yes!
Her change in attitude could have been brought on by outspoken animal rights activist and vegan, Pamela Anderson. Over the holidays, Pamela sent Kardashian, a faux fur mink coat with an accompanying letter begging the reality star to stop wearing real fur.
"In the spirit of the season, please accept this coral hip-length faux-mink coat, made especially for you by my partners at Only Me Eco Fur in Russia." The note read. "As we all ponder New Year's resolutions, won't you consider making a meaningful one to stop wearing fur? You'd be setting a trendy, compassionate example… Kim, I know your young fans would admire you and your brand even more if you dropped fur."
I guess it worked, but whatever the reason, I am thrilled that such a public person and influencer has made such a bold, anti-cruelty style statement. No doubt, this move will save the lives of many animals. What do you think about Kim's change of heart?

Stylish, lightweight racing saddle with chamfered sides. Swift is one of the first "modern" gent's racing Brooks saddles featuring a titanium framework and brass rivets with the traditional Brooks plate on the rear.
|Rail Material:
The handsome Swift, designed for sporty road machines, features beautifully hand hammered copper rivets and delicately hand chamfered lower sides, where a thin strip of the leather top surface is cut back, thus exposing the lighter coloured suede beneath which makes for an attractive visual accent and greater comfort when pedalling. Handmade in Birmingham with British leather and lightweight titanium framework.
The Brooks bike saddle story started way back in 1866, a young man of just 19 years of age was said to have bought 'one of those new-fangled velocipedes' which was fitted with a wooden saddle, this proved excruciating. As luck would have it his father made leather saddles for horses, so the young man known as John Boultbee Brooks set to work in his fathers workshop designing and developing a comfortable saddle from leather.

The rest they say is history....

Brooks experience in saddle making goes right back to the beginning - back to the period of solid tyres - and is unequalled by any other house in the world.

That said, they recognise the fact that they cannot rely on their past history alone, so they still build saddles with the same attitude as when they started, 'quality first', both in materials and manufacture. The testament to this is that there are still saddles in active use today, made many many years ago.

When it comes to classic bike styling, nothing says it more than a Brooks saddle. having been cutting and playing with leather since 1866, these guys know how to make a classy perch. At home on a classic rod-brake sit-up-and-beg or a top-notch racer, nothing quite compares. The swift is more than jsut a classic saddle though, taking on a modern twist with sleek titanium rails helping to keep the weight down. at 392g, it's certainly not for weight weenies but it comes in lighter than Brook's more econamical saddles. At 152mm wide and 280mm it;s certainly on the racey side with its chamfered sides.
Unlike other uber-lightweight saddles, sitting on the Brooks felt special. It's like riding a slice of cycling history. The leather is stretched and shaped for a comfy ride and this will only get ebtter with time. It'll take some blood sweat and miles - and probably years - to shape perfectly to your behind, but it'll be worth it. The leather will stretch over time so you might need to take up the slack with teh tension adjustment underneath. If you have a special bike, whatever genre, this could be the perfect finishing touch.
Totally classy retro-styled saddle with a modern twist
It's slightly unnerving to lower your backside onto a pristine example of 140 years of saddle making experience, especially when it looks like a work of art that would be equally at home on your wall. The seat consists of developed-for-the-purpose leather that's moulded to shape and stretched along the titanium frame. There's a tension attachment under the nose that you tighten as the seat slackens with wear, which you can adjust to the best feel for you. And this is about as individual a fit as you can get, because it's your sweat that actually gets into and softens the leather as you ride that completely personalises a Brooks saddle in a way that no other can. It mead it difficult to test it over the time that we had available(that is, not several years) so the score reflects our demand for some degree of short-medium term comfort, but every Brooks veteran we asked spoke in reverential tones about the comfort it eventually affords - but we'd be tempted to keep this saddle for our nurtured custom build or a bike of extraordinary emotional significance.
Once in a lifetime purchase that gives you personalised comfort.
For a winning combination of style and comfort,we've picked the lightweight Swift saddle...a piece of English cycling heritage - a work of art. Buy one.
...if you are going to form a lasting relationship with your bike, there really is no better way to do it than a Brooks.

Nervous About Public Speaking? 3 Ways To Dazzle Them With Your SmileShare
Public speaking is all about confidence, yet it is impossible to put your best face forward when you are unhappy with your smile. Your teeth play a huge role in the first impression you make from the moment you step in front of the audience. While even professional speakers get a little nervous before an event, you can prepare for your next speech by using these three strategies to dazzle your listeners with a beautiful smile.
Consider Teeth Whitening
Your caffeine addiction may be great for increasing productivity, but it has likely left a light yellow stain across what dentists call your smile zone. Red wine and sodas can also create unsightly stains. When your front teeth are stained, it can damage your confidence and detract from your overall appearance. Teeth whitening can be done at home or in your dentist office so that you always appear professional and in control. Once your teeth are whitened, keep them beautiful by rinsing with water or brushing after you indulge in your favorite colored beverages.
Get Your Teeth Into Proper Alignment
An incorrect bite not only affects your appearance, but it can also impact your ability to speak properly. Additionally, crooked teeth may leave you feeling self-conscious about what others think about your appearance. When you have large gaps or an incorrect bite, you can easily undergo orthodontic treatment without marring your appearance. Ask your dentist about Invisalign, which can straighten teeth discreetly using clear plastic trays that are virtually invisible from a distance. While the trays are meant to be worn for the majority of the day, they can also be removed during speaking events when you need that extra boost of confidence.
Keep Up With Your Cleanings and Exams
Dental plaque can build up on your teeth and become unsightly. Over time, skipping cleanings can also lead to gum disease that creates swollen or bleeding gums. Since neither of these are attractive, it is important to schedule regular cleanings and exams. Doing so will also help you to keep your breath fresh, which is critical for times when you are close to your audience or mingling with your listeners after a speech.
Presenting a professional appearance is a major factor in the success of your speech. While you may have selected the perfect outfit and styled your hair, it is important to avoid overlooking the power of a perfect smile. By keeping those pearly whites in their best condition, you can flash a smile with full confidence that you are adding a beautiful touch to your carefully crafted presentation.

The World Bank's funding for renewable and efficient energy projects in developing countries rose 87 per cent during the past year to nearly $2.7 billion, reflecting the growing interest and demand for environmentally-friendly sources of power.
"Concerns about energy security, climate change, and increasing energy prices make many renewable energy and energy efficiency measures and applications very attractive in a number of different settings," said Jamal Saghir, World Bank Director for Energy, Transport, and Water.
"This is reflected in the increased demand for investment and also for technical assistance to strengthen regulatory frameworks providing incentives to climate change-friendly applications," he added, according to a news release issued yesterday by the Bank, which is based in Washington, DC.
At the 2004 International Renewable Energies Conference in Bonn, Germany, the World Bank Group pledged to boost its financial support for new renewable energy and energy efficiency projects by 20 per cent per year.
Since then it has more than exceeded that goal each year, committing close to $3.7 billion to such projects, compared with the agreed commitment goal of $1.3 billion.
The Bank's commitments during the past fiscal year – which ended in June – include nearly $1.2 billion for energy efficiency, as well as almost $1.5 billion for renewable energy including wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and hydropower projects.
Renewable energy and energy efficient investments made up 35 per cent of the Bank's energy commitments for the year – up from 13 per cent per year on average in the early 1990s – with 95 projects in 51 countries, as well as two cross-border projects.
The Bank noted that high energy prices and acute power shortages have led to an increased demand for energy efficiency projects, including automated meter reading systems and efficient lighting measures. Such projects are being implemented in a number of countries such as China, Pakistan, Argentina, Ukraine, Burundi and Zambia.
Increased investments in renewable and efficient energy projects will not only benefit the environment but also contribute to job creation, according to a landmark study released last week by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Labour Organization (ILO).
The report found, among other things, that renewable energy generates more jobs than employment in fossil fuels. Projected investments of $630 billion by 2030 would translate into at least 20 million additional jobs in the renewable energy sector.
In recent years some 2.3 million people have found new jobs in the renewable energy sector alone, and the potential for job growth in the sector is huge, added the report, which stated that employment in alternative energies may rise to 2.1 million in wind and 6.3 million in solar power by 2030.
In addition, investments in improved energy efficiency in buildings could generate an additional 2 million to 3.5 million green jobs in Europe and the United States alone, with the potential much higher in developing countries.

The Barber Lab integrates genetics, ecology, oceanography and geology to understand the processes that promote speciation in marine environments, creating marine biodiversity hotspots. For the past decade, the lab has focused on the fish and invertebrates of the coral reefs of the Coral Triangle, the global epicenter of marine biodiversity. Through a comparative approach, the Barber Lab is examining the relative importance of tectonic history, physical oceanography, and organismal ecologies in limiting genetic connectivity and promoting evolution and lineage diversification. Recent work focuses on integrating empirical models of connectivity with predictions from geographically explicit models of contemporary and historical ocean currents. The Barber Lab is also investigating the role of natural selection and adaptation in shaping population genetic patterns, particularly the role of the genetic basis of energetic performance of mitochondrial in size selective mortality of marine larvae.

BABSON PARK, Mass.—First-year Katelyn Korzec (Whitman, Mass.) recorded back-to-back goals to lead Babson College past visiting Springfield College, 2-1, in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's soccer action on Tuesday night at MacDowell Field.
With the win, the Beavers improve to 5-6-2 overall and 2-3-0 in league play, while Springfield falls to 9-2-1 overall and 5-1-0 in the NEWMAC.
Senior Jessica Fernandes (Pawtucket, R.I.) and junior Maggie McCabe (Weston, Mass.) chipped in with an assist apeice for the Green and White, while first-year Kayla Salmon (Arlington, Va.) recorded two saves in the win.
Sophomore Mackenzie Luiz (Newington, Conn.) scored the lone goal for the Pride, first-year Sara Swetland (Manchester, N.H.) logged an assist, and junior Jackie Davis (Ringoes, N.J.) posted six saves in the loss.
After causing a Babson turnover, Swetland carried the ball downfield and passed it to Luiz who launched the ball into the upper right corner of the net to give the Pride a 1-0 lead with 16:39 remaining in the first half. Springfield lead 7-6 in shots, while both teams attempted four first corner kicks at the end of the first half.
Korzec, who recorded her first collegiate goal, netted the equalizer with a shot from the far side of the net towards the upper corner with just under 10 minutes to go in regulation.
The Beavers continued to press offensively as first-year Alexis Fortune recorded the next three shots, including two on net that forced Davis to make saves. The Green and White broke through on a corner kick attempt when McCabe played a short pass to Fernandes, who sent the ball into the box for Korzec to score the game-winning goal off a header with 1:18 left on the clock.
The Green and White outshot the Pride 16-10 and had a 6-4 advantage in corner kicks.
Both teams return to action on Saturday, as the Beavers host Smith at 2:30 p.m., while the Pride is set to travel to Salve Regina.
• Babson is now 7-17-4 all-time against Springfield, which includes going 3-3-3 over the last nine matches.
• The Beavers are 4-2-1 this fall on turf, which includes a 1-1-1 mark at home.
• Going back to last season, 10 of the Beavers last 11 conference matches have been decided by a single goal.

Lie vs. Lay: Grammar Guide
When do you use "lie" and when do you use "lay"?
Lie and lay are commonly misused. My father-in-law, a high school English teacher, finally taught me the correct usage, and I think I have finally got it.
Lie is to recline. Lay is to put or place, and the verb is always followed by an object. One easy way to remember is, you lie in the sun and a chicken lays an egg. Where it gets tricky is in the past and past participle (the form of have) tenses.
Lay-to put or place
- The present tense of lay (to put or place) is lay or laying. I am laying the book on the table. I lay the book on the table.
- The past tense of lay (to put or place) is laid. Yesterday, I laid the book on the table.
- The past participle tense (have, has, had) of lay (to put or place) is also laid. I have laid the book on the table. She has laid the book on the table. She had laid the book on the table.
lay, laid, laid
Lie-to recline
- The present tense of lie (to recline) is lie or lying. I am lying on the bed. I lie on the bed.
- The past tense of lie (to recline) is lay. Yesterday, I lay on the bed.
- The past participle tense (have, has, had) of lie (to recline) is lain. I have lain on the bed for many hours. She has lain on the bed for many hours. She had lain on the bed for many hours.
lie, lay, lain
whichone is right -how many chairs are laying here? or how many chairs
are lying here?
Great work. It was very helpful
wajay_47 wrote above: "To lie is something you do to yourself! To lay is something you do to something else (an object)!" This statement overlooks the fact that one can lie to oneself, but one can also lie to others. (I.e., one can state an untruth to oneself, and also to others.) Then also, you can lay yourself down, if you temporarily think of yourself as an object as you do so. You can also lie down. The British say, "I think I'll have a lie-down." However, never go the way of not pronouncing your "r"s... I think that's wrong. On another matter, have people been miffed about the way newscasters have been routinely deleting the "helper verbs" from their broadcasts? This has been bothering me more and more lately. For example, someone might say on television: "Obama today playing golf in Atlanta with several of his constituents. The president traveling tomorrow to Florida. In other news, the weather bad in the Northeast today, as thousands left without power by weekend storms."
I enjoyed reading all the comments!
Now, please tell me. Is it lie low or lay low? Many thanks in advance.
The book was (laying/lying) on the table when I saw it last. In fact, it had (laid/lain/laid) there all day.
Which is it?
Thanks a lot for the info.
It helped me lots.
So I can best remember it this way: things LAY and people LIE.
Laid is the past tense and past participle of lay. Lay and lain in the past tense and past participle of lie, respectively. What matters is whether your verb is transitive or intransitive as to which one you use.
so, if a man will lie you down on a bed you will say to someone 'he laid me down on a bed' or 'he lie me down on a bed' they sound all fine to me, even lain and lay.
thank you.
Thanks for clearing this up, it is one of my biggest pet peeves in grammer...so many people get this wrong!
most f'ed up thing ever. words with more than one meaning. lie = to tell a lie. lie on the bed. WTF is that? Its stupid. There are reasons why we have different words for things. So this doesn't happen. A book is at rest. It is laying on the desk. That makes more sense. LOL at "Yesterday, I lay on the bed" - so stupid
Thank you for this imformative hub. It helped for settling a dispute between me and a friend of mine. ^-^
It appears I have nothing better to do than be a stickler for grammar while I'm up late with insomnia. Hahaha
thanks a lot for the explanations :)
would it be correct to say "this is where my talents lie or this is where my talents lay"?
If you are learning English as a second language, don't feel bad if lie vs lay gives you a headache. I would estimate less than 10% of native English speakers get this one right 100% of the time.
Robin thank you for all your help with lie and lay. StuartJ I hear you but I will not be quiet and stop without a fight.
In my opinion the battle to join is "the use of between and among". The media uses between incorrectly all the time. It seems that TV and film are allergic to the word among. Between is used for two and among for more than two. Even the French with their equivalent "entre" and "parmi" are making the same mistakes. This is a global condition and needs immediate attention.
Which is correct: "Here lies the tools" or "Here lay the tools."
This is probably the clearest explanation of lie vs. lay I've ever come across. Thank you.
I think I want to let go of the"lay lie lied laid lain" thing. "I laid in bed" sounds nicer. I like it when Tao Lin writes that, and Ellen Kennedy, in their books. I plan to do that. I like "laid."
Also, Ms sounds nicer than Mrs and Miss. I think language reflects us...
Ralph, I have heard of this distinction you mention between "healthful" and "healthy", but I really think that one is a tad pedantic. The proportion of the population that has even heard of that one, let alone adheres to it, must be very very small indeed. Of course, some will say that "correctness" is not determined by usage, but I disagree. If language didn't change we'd all be talking and writing the same way as Chaucer did. The issue is how to maintain a healthy balance between extreme prescriptivision, which ignores the relevance of usage altogether; and extreme descriptivism, which can lead to an "anything goes" attitude. There has got to be (or should I leave the "got" out or write "there must be") a happy medium.
Personally, I use lay and lie as Robin describes them; but I hear and see "lay" used so often these days where "lie" would once have been mandatory that I wonder if the battle to maintain this distinction may not already be lost. (I realise that my semi-colon in that sentence may be questionable too.)
A lot of the latest dictionaries are now giving infer and imply as synonyms and so the battle to maintain that distinction may be over too.
Regarding "Herein lays the problem."
I changed the order of the words to "The problem lays herein." The Microsoft Grammar Checker flagged this as incorrect and said the word should be "lies".
The following usage is an ingrained speaking and writing habit that probably will never be changed, but I will object to it anyway. I recall finding the Book of Mormon (written in early 19th century) in my dentist's office, and I happened to discover the phrase "have got" on the page I turned to. I just did a search on-line and found many "have gots" in the text, e.g., "We have got a Bible..."
My point is that this phrase has been used a suprisingly long time.
Is: I think I have finally got it.
Should be: I think I finally have it.
Is: Have you got
Should be: Do you have
Is: I've got
Should be: I have
I got it yesterday.
I have it today.
I just ran across the following sentence in an article.
"Herein lays the problem."
My Microsoft Grammar Checker accepted this as correct, and rejected the sentence when I substituted "lies".
I would have used "lies" in the sentence in the sense that here is where the problem rests. Am I correct or is the Microsoft Grammar Checker correct?
Another usage that I always question is this one.
Is it the "lie of the land" or is it the "lay of the land"? I would write the "lie of the land".
Thanks for the tips on lie and lay. I'm a grammar freak and always correcting family and friends. My husband is most conscious when he's speaking around me. The bad part is when I'm at church and hear the preacher misuse words or incorrectly use words. It's like all my attenneas go up. Worse of all, I sometimes laugh before I correct them. Only friends and family, of course. on last thing, I often hear people misuse "at".
I am a retired teacher who is now substitute teaching in the elementary. When I sub for Kindergarten, the students lie down to take a nap. They try to correct me when I instruct them to "lie down on your mats". I think they are probably used to hearing "lay down". I began to wonder if I was incorrect myself. That is why I logged on to this site. Thanks!
In France we have a different system for lay versus lie. Technically, yours is incorrect. A for effort................................................................................NAH JK JK
These all helps me, but what if I'm going to tell a patient I'm going to lie you down, as in put the head of a stretcher down. Lay or Lie?
Wow, you guys. I'm feeling so much better about being a grammar nerd now that I've read your comments. I'm new to Hubpages.com, but I can tell already that I'm going to love it here.
On the "lie" vs. "lay" issue, it's funny around our house when someone says, "I'm going to go lay down," because the other will say, "Well then you'd better clean it all up when you're finished!"
Can someone answer a question for me? Are the following sentences correct with regards to use of the words who/whoever vs whom/whomever. If so, why and if not why.
1. The general regarded whomever the colonel honored with distain.
2. When the supervisor entered the room, he noticed that the book way laying on the table.
Michael Hancher
So, to paraphrase one of the other posts, does the fault LIE with Bob Dylan, or does the fault LAY with Bob Dylan? I am thinking that it is correct to say that the fault LIES with someone because it seems that the intransitive verb is correct -- the fault is just there with the person. However, I believe that I often see the improper usage -- the faults lays with someone. Now, one could LAY the BLAME with Bob Dylan. :-)
actually this is very easy to remember if you keep in mind what Robin says---chicken lay eggs and people lie down. People don't "lay" down because if so, where's the egg??
It is very simple. I have heard this error so frequestly that I have been wondering if the incorrect use of these words has now become acceptable and standard?
Hi Robin, thanks for you posting! I'm not native English speaker, and your post about grammer really help a lot. I am all dumb when writing my blog in English, do you have any suggestion website that I can imporve my English writing (and speaking)? Thank you!
Hi Robin - Regarding lay v. lie, is this correct?
...its beautiful red orb was just beginning to touch the horizon. I lie on my back and let the waves carry me for awhile,,,
So is it all Bob Dylan's fault that people confuse lay & lie? "Lay, Lady, lay; lay across my big brass bed." Should he have said "Lay yourself acorss my big brass bed" to maintain the transitive place function of lay? He's certainly not using it in the past tense and though it sounds like a command of sorts, he's not saying 'lie', either. Clearly 'lay' worked better for rhyming purposes and thus has poetic license, but I wonder how much of the confusion is the fault of the song?
Hi Robin, can you help with the correct use of in-person vs. in person? I did a search on google and this hub came up...so, I thought I'd ask a professional in the area of the English language. Thank you, :)
What about the problem lies in the manner in which their plan was created?
Then what about the children's prayer: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep
Thanks Robin for your reply, It is hard for me to get away from the fact, lay is a transitive verb, and even though you are doing it to yourself, ie., I lay myself down it is an action. But I stand corrected, and it is just another step in my learning curve. I think I had better lie down now.
Again, Thanks, Bill
As I head toward my bedroom do I say to my wife "I am going to lay down" or " I am going to lie down."
Much argument in my writing class.
Many Thanks in advance
Great hub, Robin! To lie is something you do to yourself! To lay is something you do to something else (an object)! Thanks, Robin.
In a command:
"Lie down" or "lay down" which is correct?
I've been participating in another forum for nearly 10 years and have met three participants in person. Beyond that a rather close community has developed which gives many of us the feeling that the other participants are our friends (and some friendly enemies). It would be good if this deveolped among "Hubbies." When you spend some time to put a hub together with what appears to you to have some interesting or useful content, your effort is validated if you get a response or two from someone else. Page views without comments aren't very meaningful, in my opinion.
I hear a lot of people using lay when they should be using lie.
How about the distinction betwee healthy and healthfu. As in healthful foods and vegetables. I was taught people are healthy and exercise or food is healthful.
Another one that bugs me is the usage of comprise interchangeably with compose. Or using comprise when compose is correcter :-). As in the collection was comprised of old coins from around the world when composed should have been used according to my high school English teacher.
Corredt usage: Coins from all over the world comprise the collection.
Correct usage: The collection is composed of coins from all over the world.
Incorrect usage: The collection is comprised of coins from all over the world.
Many people are having similar confusion over imply and infer, as in "He inferred that he was leaving soon but didn't say so specifically."
100% correct, but "lay" as the past tense of lie *still* sounds strange to me, even though I know it's correct. My guess is that within another generation, it'll "officially" change to laid.

At iSeekplant, we understand that when you've got an important job to get done, you need durable, reliable equipment on hand that's a perfect fit for the job.
Telehandlers are a key member of many fleets in Australia, and we have a wide range of telehandler and tyre handler hire suppliers in Brisbane and throughout the country, serving the civil and agricultural industries, particularly in mining operations and the telecommunication and energy space.
Telehandlers essentially function as a cross between a forklift and a crane, and can reach objects that standard machinery simply can't get to. They're also easily manoeuvrable, and they get their name due to their boom arm, which can be "telescoped" out in order to increase the machine's reach.
Those looking for telehandler hire suppliers in Adelaide may want to use it to transport and access equipment for construction work on rooftops, reach into high sided trailers, or move pallets. These machines add immense value to challenging projects, although they require experienced and expert operators to drive them so that the chance of tipping can be minimised. Operators need to make calculations based on the load size and boom angle to ensure they have the correct counterweights to ensure the machine is stabilised.
Telehandlers are often used in mining operations and are also used on construction sites to manoeuvre massive dump truck tyres (which can weigh more than 4 tonnes, and other large machines.
When you're browsing telehandler suppliers in Perth or elsewhere on the iSeekplant website, keep in mind that they are also known as a telescopic forklift, telescopic handler or extendable reach forklift. Some people know these machines as deep reach trucks, since they can retrieve pallets sitting one behind the other and pick up and deposit them both at the same time.
When you're onsite, your main focus is on keeping everyone working and reducing downtime. However, routine vehicle maintenance is often responsible for work stoppages, and tyre handlers can make it safer, faster, and easier to change tires on construction, mining and agricultural equipment.
Whether you need to change tyres on small tractors or some of the biggest machines in the mining industry, our tyre handler hire suppliers in Melbourne can ensure you've got the best equipment for the job.

Christmas eve we had Dave's parents over to decorate sugar cookies (since it's was my parent's year for Christmas). Logan and I prepped the cookie dough and frosting in advance. Logan had so much fun making stuff. He wanted to sample every ingredient and would tell me if it was yummy (sugar), or yucky (salt, baking powder, etc). He kept sampling the dough and frosting.
He also couldn't keep his tongue off the dough while cutting out the cookies! Papa Bill would start rolling out the dough and Logan would grab little pieces.
He loved picking out which cookie cutter to use and pushing down the cutters.
Frosting was tons of fun too! We asked Logan which color frosting he wanted, then he would eat the sprinkles and bite the arms off all the gingerbread man cookies. I think he ate more cookies than he decorated.
That night I told Logan we needed to clean the house because Santa wanted to bring us presents while we were sleeping, and Santa wouldn't come if our house was dirty. So Logan was obsessed with cleaning up and putting his toys away. We read Christmas books and Logan went to bed.
Christmas day we woke up really late (Logan didn't get up until 9) and we opened presents. Logan had so much fun! He would open up a gift and exclaim "I love this, thanks Santa!" We would play with it for a while and then open the next gift.
That night we went to my parents house for appetizers and desserts. It was fun to try all the different things everyone brought and to chat. The kids had fun reading books with Grandma, and playing with all the toys. It was funny to see them interact with each other. Grandma Sheila would read a page and ask a question like "Do you have a stocking at your house?" and they would all answer. "Yes, mine is red", "Mine has a snowman on it!" etc. And each kid would look at the other and consider the answer.
Saturday my Mom came up and watched Logan and Dustin so we could go see the Hobbit! It was so much fun to go see a movie without the boys. And the movie was great. It was really long though. I wish they would have made it into two movies instead of one. They added a lot of unnecessary stuff to stretch it out to three movies. But they did a great job.
Saturday we took the boys sledding at the golf course down the street. It was warm out, and Logan had so much fun! Dustin thought we were nuts for being out, but we all had fun.
Logan would laugh the entire time he was going down and get so excited we got to take him down again and again.
I made the boys pose with Dave for a picture. They're so cute all together! After about a half hour the wind started up, and I took Dustin to the car to warm up. Logan and Dave sled for a while longer, and we headed home.
Sunday Dustin and I went to church with Dave and Logan, and it went well. It was hard making it by 9, but next week our ward switches to 11, so that should help. Over all it was a fun week!
