Swine flu
Paris, May 21, 2009
In mid-April, U.S. health officials declared the outbreak of a flu epidemic caused by a new type of virus (A/H1N1). This epidemic began in Mexico in mid-March and then spread to the U.S. and Canada, transmitted notably in schools. Further cases were detected in some 40 countries on every continent, and on April 29, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that it had raised the alert level to 5, given the global spread of the epidemic.
Update (as of May 21, 2009)
1. The epidemic has spread throughout the United States. Nearly 6,000 cases have been confirmed, but health officials estimate that more than 100,000 people have been infected. The vast majority of cases have been unproblematic, although there have been about a dozen deaths.
2. Federal officials have declared this epidemic a "national health emergency." This is a formality that makes it possible to free up federal funds and personnel to focus on preventing the spread of the virus at the state level.
3. U.S. officials encourage the residents of affected regions and travelers to those areas to follow the following basic recommendations:
wash your hands frequently, if possible using an alcohol-based solution
try to avoid contact with infected people
if you have flu-like symptoms, call your doctor, stay home and limit contact with other people.
The symptoms of A/H1N1 are similar to those of the regular flu: a high fever, coughing, sore throat, achiness, headaches, chills and fatigue.
4. The Embassy of France and its Consulates are in constant contact with U.S. officials. They have confirmed that foreigners residing or traveling in the United States may be assured of full coverage at U.S. medical facilities.
Travel information and recommendations
1. The WHO and U.S. health authorities do not recommend limiting travel because of the new A/H1N1 flu.
2. France recommends caution to travelers to Mexico and the United States. School trips to the two countries are not advised.
3. The French authorities recommend that travelers to these countries:
• Exercise basic hygiene (wash hands frequently, air out living quarters); avoid all contact with sick people
• Consult a local physician in the event of fever or flu-like symptoms
• Contact the local French Embassy or Consulate if you need assistance.
4. Health officials have also issued the following recommendations for asymptomatic persons returning from Mexico:
• Professionals returning from Mexico who are in contact with children less than a year old should suspend their professional activity for seven days following their return
• Children less than a year old returning for Mexico should not be in contact with other children of the same age for seven days
• Parents and others returning from Mexico should, in order to protect those around them, strictly respect health measures, especially if they live with a child less than a year old.
For the time being, health officials are not imposing a quarantine. Only health or local government officials can decide to establish a quarantine.
5. Measures taken concerning visitors from or to Mexico and the United States:
Arrivals in France
• Information forms are distributed to all passengers aboard flights from Mexico and the United States. If necessary, they make it possible to identify passengers who have been in contact with infected persons and to offer them the appropriate medical care
• In the event that a passenger presents flu-like symptoms aboard a flight from the United States to Roissy-CDG, the plane will land at a special terminal.
• Flights to other airports will land at their initial destination. Medical facilities exist at all sites.
• Upon their arrival, symptomatic passengers are reported to Centre 15 (the medical emergency service hotline) and individually treated.
Departures from France
• Information documents are distributed to all passengers to Mexico and the United States.

His first birthday is upon us, I can not help but to feel overwhelmed with emotions. My baby is growing and it is happening faster than I ever imagined. It feels like just yesterday I held him in my arms for the first time, waiting patiently to hear his first cry. That quickly stumbled into his many firsts…
The first time he held my hand and melted my heart. The first time he latched on and thankfully hasn't weaned off yet. I don't think I am ready for that as I love the bond we have created through breastfeeding. As much as I miss uninterrupted sleep. The sacrifice seems so little knowing that one day soon enough he won't need to nurse in the night or want to cuddle to sleep. His first smile lit up the room and makes the sunshine look a little dimmer in comparison. That smile is contagious and spreads like wild fire. His first bath, was full of wonder and pure joy. Never has he cried to bathe only when it was time to get out. I instantly knew he had a love for water just like his momma. His first tooth popped out and quickly after that seven more followed. Those little sharp shark teeth have bitten me more times than I can count but I know those teeth symbolize just how quickly he will grow. "Mama" was his first word. His first steps quickly turned into runs. The first time he held his arms out for me. Each day he continues to have many firsts as this world is new and full of wonder. I feel so blessed to be able to be his mother. To teach him, to guide him and to shower him with my love for as long as I live.
My Precious Baby Boy
Words will never fully express what you mean to me or even come close to describing how much I love you. You are my first. And as you experience many of your firsts and continue to grow, so will I. You have taught me what pure unconditional and selfless love feels like. You have taught me how to be a mother. You are my heart and now that you are out of me and into the world, exploring and growing, my heart will forever be living on my sleeve. That is not something that is easy getting used to so forgive me for trying to hold you close and protecting you. The anxiety is real. I try my best and I will keep trying to let you explore and be the little adventurer you are. Never holding you back but always supporting your every dream. Continue dreaming little one. God chose you for me and in every way you are perfect.
You do these little things that I can't help but turn to mush each time. The way you climb over me while asleep because laying next to me in my arms isn't close enough. The way you get so excited to hug me and turn into a little hyper cuddle monster. The cheeky eyes you like to show off. The raspberry kisses. The tugging on my pants. The way you mimic my every move and follow my every step. The way your eyes light up when I walk into the room. I hope to always be your first love.
It is still hard to grasp that I was once your home. But my little baby, I will always be your home. I will always be here for you when you need me. I'll always be a shoulder for you to cry on. A warm meal you can count on. A band aid for your booboo's and your broken hearts. Your father and I have conversations about our fears for your future. We want you to experience the world around you to the fullest yet shelter you from all the pain and heartache this life can sometimes bring. And although we know thats not possible, we can't help but keep trying our best. We have a hard time thinking of the right things to do. Whether to let you go to school or not. All in fear of someone hurting you, making you feel like less or insecure.This world is a beautiful place. Don't forget that. Don't lose hope in humanity as we are trying our best and be kind to all living things. We all have a beating heart and feelings whether we appear different or not. I already see your love for animals and that makes me so proud as that shows your empathetic heart. May you always continue to be your wild and sweet self. You deserve all the love and kindness of this world and no one should take that from you. You are so special, so loved, so smart, kind, energetic, handsome, giving, happy and bright. Don't let anyone ever dim your light because you shine brighter than the universe. You are my universe. My love for you grows each day at a faster rate than you do. I never knew a love like this until you. I love you my little Bupbup, with every beat of my heart. "You are my sun, my moon, and all my stars."
You are the sweetest part of my days.
Happy Birthday my little lovebug! May we be blessed to have many many more to come!

By the end of the review, you'll know which card is the best at improving your credit score.
Our Rating
Starting off our list is the Discover Cash Credit Card. It's a simple secured credit card that's mainly used by college students. For people who have little credit, this card might be a good choice for you.
It's Cash Back feature is one of the main things consumers love about this card. At select stores (Amazon, gas stations, restaurants, etc.) you gain up to 5% cash back after making a purchase. The card helps users save their money while creating good credit.
In fact, Discover has created an additional 1% cash back feature for other purchases. This ensures that you're saving money on every transaction that you make. Consumers trying to receive the most cash should look into this credit card.
Another feature worth mentioning is the CashBack Match. At the end of each year, Discover will match the total amount of cash back you received this year. This means that if you gained over $200, they'll pay you an extra $200 for using their service.
However, some consumers found slight issues with the CashBack Match feature. They complained that it the CashBack Match process is excruciating and difficult. To receive extra cash back, you'll have to send them paperwork of each transaction for it to work.
We believe that the Discover Cash Credit Card is an excellent choice for college students looking to build their credit history. It's CashBack features are liked by all customers and should be considered if you're looking for a useful and financially secure credit card.
Our Rating
Next up is the American Express Cash Back Card. With this card, you get 5% cash back on gas station and military base purchases. In fact, you'll get an additional 2% cash back at supermarkets. Look into this card if you want a useful credit card for everyday usage.
International users like this credit card. The card has no transactional fees when you're outside of the U.S. This saves you money and reduces the amount of taxes you'll have to pay for currency exchange. This is a great credit card for those wanting to travel without spending extra money on international fees.
For your convenience, the card comes with an additional mobile app. You can find your account balance and transaction history via sending a voice message. The mobile app is another reason why users like this card because it's easy to access and helps them make sound financial decisions.
One thing that makes this card better than its competitors is its identity theft resolution. This ensures that you'll keep your credit score in good standing if you're a victim of identity theft. Get this card if you want something to protect you financially when an emergency occurs.
But consumers complained about the card's high-interest rate. We suggest paying off your entire balance to prevent being charged interest on your purchases.
The American Express Cash Back Card is one of the best low credit score credit cards available. It has no international fees and protects you from identity theft. Consider getting this card if you want to stay financially secure while abroad.
Our Rating
Third on our list is the Capital One Secured Credit Card. The card is accepted in most financial institutions worldwide and gives the user 5% back. You should consider getting this card if you're planning on rebuilding your credit.
Unlike prepaid cards, this card reports to the 3 major credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax). Each of the bureaus gives the user an accurate reading of their credit history and is good for users getting their credit back to a satisfactory rating.
It's most defining feature is how far it stretches your minimum deposit. Competing brands tend to require a security deposit when applying for a card. The Capital One has a security deposit that's less than the card's limit. Get this card if you want a useful secured credit card to increase your credit score.
You should apply for this card if you want to fix your credit rating. After 5 months, you're eligible to apply for a higher credit line. Make sure to pay your monthly payments on time to ensure that you'll bring your score back to normal.
Credit card owners disliked the card's high APR%. It's at a %24.99 APR which is a higher annual percentage rating to start off with. Because of this, the card can be costly for the long-term.
The Capital One Secured Credit Card is one of the best fair credit score credit cards. It's reliable and allows the user to increase their score in a manner of 5 months. This is the perfect card if you have a fair credit score and would like to establish a solid financial history.
Our Rating
The DCU secured credit card is ranked fifth on our list. It's a card that's best for people starting to build credit or those trying to repair their low credit score. The card is great for users because it's easy to apply for and doesn't charge the users extra for their minimum payment.
Most secured credit cards have higher fees than unsecured credit cards. However, the DCU card has the lowest fees on the market and won't cost too annually. You'll like this credit card if you want one that has a $0 annual fee and is useful for people on a budget.
One feature that places the DCU Credit Card above the competition is its low APR rating. Most cards have a rating of 24.99%. This can get quite expensive and can result in some costly fees by the end of the year. The DCU has an APR of 12.25% which helps the user rebuild credit without paying extra fees.
Users like this card because their security deposit accumulates interest. When you receive the card, your security deposit is in a savings account that earns interest as long as the account is open. Apply for this card if you want something that rewards you with extra interest for using its service.
Consumers were not satisfied with the card's international fee. While the card has a lower foreign transaction fee than other financial institutions (3% average), it can be quite costly.
We think that the DCU secured credit card is great for those trying to establish credit. The card has no annual fees, a low APR percentage, and gives the user interest on their security deposit. It's a good credit card that's guaranteed to improve a user's credit rating.
Our Rating
Don't worry if you have limited or bad credit history. The Open Sky Secured Credit Card is one of the easiest credit cards to apply for. It has a minimum security deposit of $200 and doesn't take long to obtain. If you want a reliable entry-level card, then the Open Sky is the one for you.
For people with limited credit, there's no credit check necessary. Your credit limit will be determined by your security deposit. Because of this, people with no credit history can have a card that helps them establish or restore their credit score.
Another feature we like is easy application system. Users can create an application online and receive results in 5 minutes. If approved, DCU will send a card within 14 days. If you want a credit card with a no-hassle application process, then this is the right choice.
The only catch is that your monthly income must be higher than your monthly expenses. If you fulfill this requirement, then your application will be accepted. The Open Sky Credit Card is useful because it accepts almost anyone and allows them to create a good credit history.
Most people had an issue with the card's annual fees. While the fee is only $35, it can be an issue for some users. Keep your income higher than your expenses to ensure that you can pay for the extra fees associated with this card.
The DCU Secured Credit Card is one of the best no credit score credit cards in the market. It's easy to apply for and only requires $200 to receive a card. You'll like this credit card if you need something to help you increase your score.
Our Rating
When it comes to secured credit cards, Citi Bank has one of the best ones available. For instance, it has a low-security deposit and no annual fees. People attempting to increase their credit rating should give this credit card a look.
To be approved for the card you must not have any reports of bankruptcy in over 2 years. After that, you set your security deposit from a minimum of $200 up to $2,500. Your credit limit will match that deposit, and you can use it as desired.
After obtaining the card, it comes with a few added perks. For instance, users have travel accident insurance, rental car insurance, and purchase protection. These extra perks help the user protect themselves financially and is another reason why you should consider this card.
Plus, it gives the user the chance to apply for an unsecured card. When you pay your balance each month, your credit score will improve. This allows users to apply for an unsecured card and increases their credit score even faster.
Consumers across the board had one issue with the card. The application is complicated, and Citi Bank accepts a small percentage of people.
The Citibank Secured Credit Card is perfect if you're planning on rebuilding credit. It's safe, reliable, and can increase your score faster than competing cards. Apply for this card if you have an average credit card history.
Our Rating
Placed in seventh is the First Progress Credit Card. The card has an application process that approves people with limited to bad credit. Look into this card if you're trying to get your credit history back in good standing.
This card's main feature is the Expedited Processing Option. On average, you'll receive your card within 7 days. Compare this to competing cards that take at least 14 days to send out a credit card. Because of this, first-time card users love to use this credit card.
When applying for the card, you'll have to pay $200-$2,000 to get approved. Once approved, you'll have a new credit limit based on how much you paid for your security deposit. You'll receive your security deposit once you pay off your complete balance.
Another thing we like about this card is its grace period. Most credit card companies only give you a 10 day grace period to pay off your monthly bill. But, the First Progress Credit Card gives users 25 days to fully pay your monthly credit bill.
But, there are a few complaints regarding the card's high-interest rates. Make sure you pay your balance sufficiently to prevent paying extra interest each month.
We think that the First Progress Credit Card is one of the best average credit score credit cards. The application process is easy, and its Expedited Processing Option lets users build credit early. If you want a fast, and useful secured credit card then this is the right one for you.
Our Rating
Last on our list is the US Bank Credit Card. The card was designed for people trying to rebuild or establish credit. Due to its features, this card helps users make their credit payments on time and create a good credit history.
You can apply for the card via online and fund the deposit account via your savings or checking account. The company will ask for a proof of ID (driver's license, passport, etc.) before completing the application. Once you're approved, you can begin to access and use the card in almost anywhere.
Flex Control is US Bank's main feature. This online tool creates automatic payments to prevent you from paying late fees and interest. Also, this feature helps you quickly pay off your balance on time. Apply for this card if you want to protect yourself from paying extra fees on your credit card.
Sometimes, we become the victims of credit fraud. With US Bank, it has a Zero Fraud Liability feature that protects users from fraud. If your US Bank card is lost or stolen, you're not responsible for the unauthorized transactions.
There is one issue associated with this card. Users have to pay 2% extra on each foreign transaction. This can be a problem if you're planning on using your credit card abroad.
You need a credit card that will help you on your financial journey. That's where the US Bank Credit Card comes in. The card allows users to pay their bills automatically and protects them from fraud. You should look into the US Bank Credit Card you want one of the safest secured cards on the market.
Capital One's credit card is the clear winner of this review. The card not only gives you 5% cash back on your purchases. Also, the card helps users rebuild their history by transferring them to an unsecured card after 5 months. Ultimately, get the Capital One's Credit Card if you want to increase your score and credit history immediately.

I shook off yesterday as best I could. Today was Sunday. Not that days of the week really meant anything. But I had been counting sleeps.
In fact, counting sleeps is something I do not only for the anticipation of Santa, but also when backpacking. No matter where I am, or who I'm with, or what day I'm on, I mentally take quiet notes of how many sleeps down, and how many to go. I often think about my husband, knowing exactly where he'll be at 8:00 pm every night (the bath). And the cats, where they hang out (end of the couch and in Oliver's room). And it's with a certain longing I recall the lovely, civilized routines of emptying the dishwasher, drawing the curtains at bedtime…
And I woke up today knowing there was only one more sleep on the trail. Huzzah.
M. and P. were up and at 'em at a decent hour. I think they'd done their chores and started packing up before I could even haul my sorry self out of the tent. Camper Bay was still jammed with backpackers. At least a dozen tents huddled together on the sand strip, a rowdy mash-up of hikers from each direction, everyone in a different stage: cleanliness, happiness, denial, exhaustion, etc. And of all these characters, I quite enjoyed the little crowd that had formed around P.
P. was a social butterfly. He didn't even have to look for a party, the party had come to him. It was a fairly large group of, oh, "middle-aged women" I guess would be the fairest assumption, who were hiking south to north. He held court as they flitted back and forth, chatting him up as they noisily gathered their gear. From the snippets of conversation amongst themselves and with others, I figured if I had to hike with these women, they'd drive me nuts with their regimented plans and know-it-all attitudes; but if I was in a pinch, they'd always take care of me.
I sat on my driftwood bench sipping a cup of coffee (which, btw, was courtesy of P. who had shared his cruise ship collection of instant coffee with us) and watched the ladies warily, from a distance, dote over P. The French couple lounged nearby at their fire pit, Converse-clad feet up on logs, making no move to get going at all. Mathieu caught my eye and raised his sunglasses. "These women, they're like BIRDS. Squawk, squawk, squawk. So LOUD." He slipped his sunglasses back over his eyes and jammed his hat down over his ears. Even Anne, normally full of humour in the mornings, agreed. "Thank God they're hiking the other way."
Eventually, the ladies wrapped up and wished P. the best, and headed northwards along the trail. M. and P. also wanted to get an early start on the day and, shouldering their packs, made their way towards the cable car.
Hugh finally poked his head of his little yellow tent in the newfound silence. "What the heck was going on out here?? What a racket!" He disappeared, and started shoving his pack out from inside of his tent. However, in forcing his pack through the fly, which was still fastened at the bottom, we suddenly heard a sharp CRACK and his tent buckled. It was just a broken pole. Not a big deal, we'd figured we'd duct tape it tonight. Better Day 6 than Day 1.
With most of the campground mostly deserted, with the exception of Mathieu and Anne, we savoured the peace. It was a blessing to gather one's thoughts and set intentions for the day. Live, love, happiness – let's roll!
I pulled on my wet socks, laced my boots and headed to Camper Creek with Hugh. We skipped the cable car and jumped stone to stone across the creek instead. The water was low enough that it was safe to traverse. At most, your feet might get wet. And, CHECK.! they were already wet, so no harm no foul. We scrambled along the forest paths to catch up to M. and P.
Today's hike was Camper Bay to Thrasher Cove (8 km + 1 km off trail to the camping beach). We had a choice today to hike along the beach around Owen Point at low tide (it is impassable at high tide), where there was some serious bouldering and cool caves to explore OR take the forest route along boardwalks and tree bridges. Because the tides this time of year were higher, and the hiking window along this stretch of beach was tight, we opted for the forest route as the safer alternative for our group.
Hugh and I met up with M. and P. on the trail and travelled with them for a bit before pushing on ahead.
Today's hike turned out pretty amazing. Our route made points of contact at two beach entrances for the Owen Point route, but otherwise it was deep in the old growth forest with mud pits, boardwalks, ginormous cedars and my favourite part, the log bridges high above the forest floor. The "bridges" were simply fallen logs needed to traverse mucky ground or small gullies. The logs could be fat or thin, mossy or slimy. At least they were chiseled along the top and notched for a bit of boot-grip. At one point, we travelled about 10 feet off the ground along a linked log path, with 90 degree angles at the junction points, six foot high brush overgrown all around us. "Marco!!" I'd yell before dancing across from log to log. If I heard a "Polo!" I'd pause on a log junction until a north-bound hiker appeared and could safely pass.
We hiked a bit with Ange and May, the Calgary girls, and were lapped by Mathieu and Anne, who were like antelope on the trail. We stopped for lunch and a couple of extended rest breaks but didn't see M. and P. so we kept on moving forward, leaving our leaf faces now and then. By about 2:00 pm we'd reached the junction for Thrasher Cove. Here, I'm sure, many decisions have been made. The end of the trail was only 5 km south at the Gordon River ferry crossing. Many hikers buckle down and continue on to complete the trek on their final day. We knew Thrasher Cove was only 1 km away, and that was home for the night, so we took a right on the path towards the beach.
That last 1 km to Thrasher Cove took a looooong time. We began to lose elevation almost immediately, and it was with a sinking realization that we knew to get back to the junction would require a very steep hike first thing in the morning. The trail down to Thrasher was arduous, rooty and muddy. My knees creaked anytime I had to make really long steps down off rooty edges. The finale came in the form of several tall ladders, and then poof! we arrived blinking in the sunshine, feet on sand, dazzlingly happy.
Beach! Seriously! Awesome! I dropped my bag and walked straight into the ocean up to my knees. The cold water seeped through my boots and my socks, rejuvenating my feet and my mind. I splashed for a bit, washing off my boots and pant legs as well. Freedom.
The beach was already fairly clogged with tents, and the southern, sunnier end had filled up with brand new hikers who'd just started their adventures. We trudged north along the sand, crossing the trickle of freshwater, and pitched camp across the wee channel from Mathieu and Anne. They were already completely set up, and were sunning themselves down near the water's edge. We threw hiking poles, Hugh's tent fly and a few other bits of our stuff onto the sand near our spots to hold space for M. and P.'s tents. Hugh immediately went about organizing a campfire for M. and P.'s arrival, digging out an old fire ring, gathering driftwood and shaving kindling. He took about a dozen trips further north along the beach to procure all sizes of driftwood.
While Hugh prepped the fire, I washed out clothes, hung damp things to dry, set up the tent and re-organized my food bag. I'd budgeted fairly well for my food. For each day I'd rationed 1 bag of trail mix + 2 bars (ie. Clif Builder Bars, Luna bars, Kind bars) for the trail, and then 1 breakfast and 1 dinner. There was also a handful of trail/lunch extras like Moon Cheese and beef jerky. Hugh and I shared a lot of our trail food, so if I ran out he had more and vice versa – it just depended who had the easiest access to the snack when hunger struck. I had two dinners and two breakfasts left (I think I'd skipped a dinner somewhere along the way) and no trail mix/bars. Hugh had a bag of trail mix and some Ichiban noodles. We pooled our rations and planned on finishing up most of it tonight and tomorrow morning, leaving the trail mix for the walk out.
Hugh's tent pole didn't cooperate with our duct tape and stick splint ideas, so we decided he'd share with me tonight. My tent did sleep two, and was a palace for one, so there was no problem fitting him in.
M. and P. arrived at Thrasher Cove around supper, and it was fantastic to see them. We had the opportunity to sit around the fire for a bit and swap stories of our day. Supper didn't take to long to make and consume, and Hugh continued to feed the campfire with driftwood.
It was both a relief and a sadness to be spending only one last night on the WCT. Home is a good place, you see.
I wandered the beach a bit, chatting with the south-bounders.
The hikers heading north all looked so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, not to mention, CLEAN. Yep, I wanted no part of that. Haha. As well, I had no desire to get on my soapbox…I wanted them to experience everything for themselves, no expectations. (And I'm also recalling all the "helpful" soapbox advice we received from passing hikers about the journey = 25% useful, 50% misguided, 25% grandstanding.)
We passed our last evening watching the tide creep in, to ensure our tents weren't sucked into the ocean. P. and H. had both gone to sleep a little earlier, M. stayed up to take photos. After the all clear, I headed to bed.
Good night, WCT.
Tomorrow – Thrasher Cove to Gordon River

I am partial to donkeys. If my father's people came from County Kerry in Ireland doesn't it follow that they may have owned a donkey to convey peat back to their cottage, and that donkey's name could of been Sally or Seamus? So its in the blood. Thats why I visited the Donkey ranch today in Harmony, just a few miles from our house.
They came up to visit me as I sketched. Donkeys like people. They are kind and sociable and I'm not just making that up. I have a first hand knowledge.The summer I was nine, the donkey ride came to our town and set up in the school playground.
I stood in line, plaid shirt starched , my favorite jeans turned up at the ankle and blue keds tied tight. I hoped for the furry, taffy colored burro with the flicking ears and thats just who I boarded. His name was Tommy. I thought I would take a benign stroll around the playground with the other kids who were riding at a steady gait in a large cirle, but Tommy had other ideas. Get away ones.
As soon as I was situated, bridle in hand, he tore off down the hillside and to the open field, carreening towards the eucalyptus grove. My ponytail streamed behind me as his hoofs pounded over the dry summer grasses. Soon the head handler galloped along beside me and bellowed "Tighten your knees!, Pull his head up!"
I knew riding terms from watching TV westerns, but for a moment I wanted to run off to the woods too. Me and Tommy camping under the canopy of stars, eating beans from an old tin pie plate while coffee percolated on a smouldering oak fire. But the ramrod cut us off and we stopped short. He pushed back his stetson and scratched his head. "Never seen the like" he said. and we turned and plodded back. My legs shook and my rear was sore, but I felt a little bit like Annie Oakley. I made plans to memorize cowboy songs and learn to play the harmonica.
Back at the playground I climbed off and felt sad to leave, but Tommy flicked his ears at me and almost sort of smiled. "What an adventure!" he seemed to say. and it was.
Donkeys can live to be fifty years old. That means my wild and free loving friend could be chewing spring grass in some field today, just like the one in Harmony. Maybe once in a while he even thinks of me. I know I think of him. Love ya, Tommy, wherever you are.

Starve, scourge, deride me
I am dumb

Rafters over trusses any day…more headroom less cost.
The rail to replace the wall I tore out at the top of my stairs has moved from the dusty wood shop to the garage for finishing. The new to me old shaper is a great tool especially for milling up the rail sections. This needs to get installed before the baby starts crawling which could be any day now.
I have been gathering tools for two years. Certainly I'd love to have all General Tools but the budget isn't there for that. Next step is a dust collection system. Some nice hand tools and a few more power tools and I should have everything I need…at least that is what I tell the wife. This is never going to end.

An administrator's Ubuntu server guide: Unique Ubuntu Linux challenges
Specific challenges arise in Ubuntu server administration. 'The Official Ubuntu Server Book' wants to help. Take a look at its advice on security.
There's an Ubuntu server guide dedicated to walking administrators through the Linux operating system, from installation to troubleshooting and from configuration to monitoring.
The Official Ubuntu Server Book, 3rd edition, by Kyle Rankin and Benjamin Mako Hill, acknowledges that not every admin will come into the Ubuntu Linux OS with a high degree of comfort, so it includes a section for learning the Ubuntu essentials. It also walks through the installation process. For those with lots of Ubuntu servers to keep track of -- or administrators who have other responsibilities -- there are even chapters on automation and monitoring.
What about security? The myth that Linux servers are immune to security threats is just that -- a myth. Chapter 6 of this Ubuntu server guide on security is all about using AppArmor, Secure Shell and key-based authentication as well as how to deal with common attacks such as botnets and other brute-force methods. From the security chapter's description of AppArmor:
... AppArmor is based on the security principle of least privilege; that is, it attempts to restrict programs to the minimal set of permissions they need to function. It works through a series of rules assigned to particular programs. These rules define, for instance, which files or directories a program is allowed to read and write to or only read from. When an application that is being managed by AppArmor violates these access controls, AppArmor steps in and prevents it and logs the event. A number of services include AppArmor profiles that are enforced by default, and more are being added in each Ubuntu release. ...
In addition to descriptions of security measures, Rankin and Hill present ways how to configure the tools to best protect your Ubuntu systems.
Editor's note: This excerpt is from the new 3rd edition of The Official Ubuntu Server Book, authored by Kyle Rankin and Benjamin Mako Hill, published by Pearson/Prentice Hall Professional, July 2013, ISBN 0-13-301753-2, Copyright © 2014 Canonical Ltd.

- Armenia Issues A Statement on Developments in Baghdad
Serj Tankian's Letter to The President of Armenia
Grammy-winning singer/song writer Serj Tankian has sent an open letter to Serzh Sarkissian, expressing doubts that the incumbent president has indeed won in February 18th Presidential elections and calling for the de facto Armenian leader to institute genuine rule of law in the country, punish those, who stole the vote from the people, dissolve the parliament, ensure that genuinely free and fair elections are held and that the government is truly representational. Find the full letter below.
Dear Mr. President,
Congratulations on your victory.
Victory means getting the most votes, of course, in a democracy.
Based on the overwhelming reported fraud from many NGOs, irrespective of the OSCE report, it seems like it would be scientifically impossible for even you, Mr. President, to know whether you actually won the majority of votes.
That's quite funny isn't it? That you, the President of Armenia are not really sure, deep inside, whether you are the true chosen leader of your people or not.
That would really bother me personally. If I wanted to lead my people, I would really want them to make that decision for themselves, because I respect my people and that is their decision to make. Otherwise, I would take over Armenia and call myself the Governor General of Armenia or Dictator du jour or whatever moniker I felt like sporting that day. Maybe your party is out of control and the oligarchs are running out of caviar or something and they want to make sure that the flow of the good times doesn't stop.
Whatever the case, it is time for change.
Whether you've won fairly or not, somehow you are now President, again.
What does that mean to you?
Yes, Artsakh is important to us all and we have to struggle together for our brothers there.
But what I mean is how are you going to progress the cause of Armenians, in Armenia and around the world?
How are you going to help pull the country out of its economic, social, and political dysfunction and turmoil?
Obama at least offers hope, even when he lets us down.
Years ago, I started a campaign asking President Obama to do the right thing and stick by his promise to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
You too took an oath, to the constitution of Armenia, to protect the country from enemies foreign and domestic. Those who steal elections from my people are domestic enemies that need to be punished.
It should be your duty to enforce that, even if some think it hypocritical. You should also consider dissolving Parliament and being the first Armenian reformist President who goes out of his way to make sure that future elections are fair and representational.
Serzh, everyone who knows me knows that I can't stand injustice. And like most diasporan Armenians, I have always been reluctant to criticize your government directly and publicly. But the avalanche of people suffering under your rule due to corruption and injustice is tipping the scale for us all.
You need to know that.
Armenia is desperate for the rule of law more than anything else. And no one can be above the law. You can make that happen, now, by example and presidential decree.
Unite us Serzh. Inspire us.
Please take this challenge.
Thank you for your time.
Serj Tankian

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 165 - Thank You
I wanted to use the Christmas colors for this card since it will be for thanking a friend for Christmas presents.
The doily die is my favorite Cherry Lynn DL153 Polynesian Sails Oval that I use often on many cards.
The small and larger red glitter paper flowers are from the Cherry Lynn B364 Baby's Breath Flower Kit die. The smaller baby breaths were glued in the center of each flowers on the doily. The leaves above the doily is from the Cherry Lynn B178 Flourish Leaf Strip and CL B304 Ivy Strip leaves and green glitter was glued on the leaves.
The 'Thank You' is from Cherry Lynn B320 using the larger saying.

Cherry Lynn Challenge #160 - Non-Traditional Christmas Colors
I enjoyed making this Christmas card yesterday with no idea how it will turn out using a very difficult stamp that rarely comes out well. This is the Silent Night Impression stamp from Paper Inspiration and I had success using the Tsukinek Slate Gray dye ink after trying numerous other inks for this particular stamp. I distress the edges of the stamp with Stampin Up Crumb Cake ink to make it look like it was a picture from an old painting of Mary and Jesus.
The Merry Christmas saying is from Cherry Lynn with the snowflakes cut off and used antique gold glitter paper with some brown color added to make it look antique. The corners are from the Cherry Lynn Lace Deco Corner Set. I added a charm saying Jesus between Merry and Christmas.
The frame is from Die'Sire Create-A-Card called Decandence and the backing of the frame is a metallic bronze color paper. The flourish behind Merry Christmas is from Memory Box.

Cherry Lynn Challenge - Tags #159
I started with the CL French Pastry doily and added the small CL Merry Christmas saying which comes in two sizes. Using red glitter paper, I cut out the poinsettia and used green paper for the branches using the CL Christmas Candle Light die leaving out the candles. I cut out a second poinsettia and branch from the CL Christmas Candle Light die from photo paper that I colored in pink for the poinsettia and green for the branches and glued it on bottom of the red CL Christmas Candle Light die which gives the poinsettia a realistic look. I added a bow from the Cottage Cutz Holly Wreath die and added gold glitter in the middle of the bow as well as using the gold glitter in the middle of the poinsettia.

Cherry Lynn Blog Challenge - Black and White
I love making Halloween and autumn cards. My nephew was born on Halloween and will have his 4th birthday soon..
I used the Cherry Lynn Step Card and Cherry Lynn Spider doily dies for this card. The other spider webs on the sides were from the Martha Stewart Spider Web punch. Inside of the card, I used a Stampin Up spider web folder and Martha Stewart torn page punch. I love the Cottage Cutz Number Candle die using the number 4 in front and inside of the card and I used glitter to make a candy corn looking number. I used the Tattered Lace Elegant Alphabet die letters on the front of the card.
The rest of the embellishments were from ole stocks of supplies saved for Halloween.

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 151 - Die Cut Flowers
First day of fall and I wanted to do an autumn card for my sister. I had a lot of fun creating these leaves out of my Cherry Lynn leaf die as well as McGill punch for the maple leaf. First I cut them out and applied the fall colors to the leaves. Second, I pressed the leaves on a Versa Mark pad before adding clear embossing powder. After using the hot embossing gun, I would shape the leaves again. The leaves on the left top is from Cherry Lynn Flourish Leaf Strip B179..
The flowers were made using the Cherry Lynn Shasta Daisy B310. I used autumn gold glitter paper to cut out the daisies. I applied rustic colors to the edge and then pressed the flowers on a Versa mark pad before adding clear embossing powder. I found out that if I didn't use the embossing powder on this paper, the ink would easy rub off. I colored the center of the flower using a green Copic Marker. The center of the flower is the circle from the Cherry Lynn Maron's Wedding Garland DL218. I cut the centers out and rubbed the center with Versa mark and added a brown and red embossing powder.
The branches in the flower arrangement is the Memory Box Woodland branch die.
I used the Marianne Design LR0279 for the center frame of the picture from Wee Stamps colored with Copic markers. The saying "Thinking of You" is a Marianne Collectable stamp as well as the Marianne Collectable die to cut for the label below. The outer frame is a Spellbinder decorative frame.

I have two Cherry Lynn doilies on this baby girl card: the Polynesian Sails Oval DL153 and the Manon's Wedding Garland DL218. I found the template on-line for the baby girl dress.
I used both of the doilies from the Polynesian Sails Oval. I cut the small Polynesian Sails Oval die doily in half and used it for the collar and some the other half and cut it out and used it for the trim on the arms of the blouse. The large doily from the Polynesian Sails Oval was cut and used for the bottom as the pink lace on the baby girl dress.
I used the Manon's Wedding Garland doily and cut it and used it for the white lace on the bottom of the dress.
I embossed the dress with an dotted embossing folder and had some ribbon roses that I used on the dress.

Cherry Lynn Challenge #137 - Keep It Krafty
Cherry Lynn Challenge #137 - Keep It Krafty
There is a few tutorials that I followed making this Box Card.
I used Kraft card stock for the base of my Box Card and sponged it with rose red and used Graphic 45 paper on both sides of this card. I cut two Graphic 45 roses from the paper and used a McGill flower tool to mold it on the inside and only glued the rim of the rose to bring out an embossing look to accent the roses and glued my Cherry Lynn Baby Breathe flowers on the outside of these roses.
I made the lower rose using the Cherry Lynn medium rose die and surrounded it with the Cherry Lynn leaf and Cherry Lynn ivy leaf. The black and white doily frame is from the Cherry Lynn Polynesian die. The corners in the card is from the Cherry Lynn Deco. I used the Cherry Lynn saying "Celebrate".

Cherry Lynn Challenge - Creative Corners
I made all of the flowers from the Cherry Lynn dies and all of the centers were made using the Cherry Lynn Build A Flower #1. The following Cherry Lynn flower dies were used to create these flowers:
B433 Small Gardenia Strip (made into the red rose)
B310 Shasta Daisy Strip (yellow and white daisy flowers),
B364 Baby Breathe flowers,
B307 Sweet William flowers (purple)
B241 Cherry Lynn Rose Leaf Strip, and B178 Cherry Lynn Flourish Leaf Strip . I used the Cherry Lynn sayings, "Sister" and "Hugs" and cut the "ter" off Sister.
Cherry Lynn Deco Corners B and Cherry Lynn Deco Corner E
The Paper came from Graphic 45 Secret Garden which I would recommend. The flowery frame is from the Martha Stewart Flower Punch around the page. I made the lady bugs from the Ranger Pearl black and red.
The frame is a Spellbinder Decorative frame.

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge 135 - Red, White and Blue
I wasn't sure what I had in Cherry Lynn for a patriotic red, white and blue card. It took me a while since I didn't have a complete idea on how this card will look so I started with the Cherry Lynn Cape Cod DL 250 doily and made a red white and blue flag from the Sizzix die and cut out red and blue circles. After gluing the circle and doily, I cut the it in half and glued the flag in the center. The doily and flag looked better on the Cherry Lynn Step Card B348 than other card shapes that I tried out.
I cut out the bear with the flag, stars, the red, white and blue frame and "God Bless America" from an ole 4th of July Darice printed paper. I used paper came from my scraps to make the rest of the card. I cut out two fireworks which is on top left and curled and glued on top of the other to give it some dimension. I added Stickle glue on the printed fireworks, stars and on the bear's hat to add sparkle.

Cherry Lynn Challenge #134 Roses
Cherry Lynn Challenge #134 Roses
I made two different roses from the Cherry Lynn Medium Rose B152 which is white and inked on the sides of the petal with red and Small Gardenia B433 which I designed as a rose. The Small Gardenia is from the recent Cherry Lynn releases. Behind the roses, is the Cherry Lynn Baby's Breath Flower along with the Cherry Lynn Ivy Strip B304. I used the Cherry Lynn Sophia border which is in red behind the flowers.
The saying came from Essentials and the frame is from Spellbinders.

Cherry Lynn Manly Challenge 133
Cherry Lynn Manly Challenge: I had a lot of fun making this but the idea came from another person's tutorial about how to create this paper and fishing vest. My Cherry Lynn Dies were the sayings: Dream Big, Happy, and Birthday.
I created the camouflaged paper by using the Stampin Up colored Crumb Cake paper and used the following colored inks with a sponge: olive, mustard, brown. I stamped the paper using the same ink colors using leaf stamps and used my Copic Marker brown to draw the branch on the paper and used a white ink pen before cutting this out to create this fishing vest.

With the cost of publish secondary training increasing, many college students are on the lookout for ways to cut back their very own tuition prices.There are many scholarships in Canada that are supplied to deserving students. In some provinces early leaving exemptions can be granted beneath certain circumstances at 14. Canada generally has 190 (a hundred and eighty in Quebec) faculty days within the 12 months, officially starting from September (after Labour Day ) to the tip of June (often the last Friday of the month, besides in Quebec when it's just earlier than June 24 – the provincial vacation).
Phases of Secondary Education: Decrease secondary schooling is the first stage of secondary training and is predicated on a subject-oriented curriculum. On the flip of the twentieth Century, it was common for high colleges to have entrance examinations which restricted entrance to fewer than 5 {41a4fa72052d090cdf978b5f623810d9e63d56b87d344a20ba2665474de70526} of the population in preparation for faculty.
Advantages of Secondary Schools: The secondary stage is broken into two, two 12 months cycles, usually known as Common/Decrease Secondary College, or 'Customary X', and Higher/Senior Secondary College, or 'Standard XII' i.e. it begins in grade 9 and lasts till grade 12.
University-preparatory schools , commonly referred to as 'prep colleges', might be both publicly funded, charter faculties or non-public independent secondary schools funded by tuition charges and philanthropic donations, and ruled by impartial boards of trustees.
The training experiences constructed on training prepares students for labor market entry or further tertiary education. Some Elementary Faculties consist solely of grades K-5. While issues have modified lately as 11th and twelfth belong to high school now and schools have been focusing on degree stage programs.

Noseda filly prompts another Excelebration celebration
Ettu (3f Excelebration-Tragic Moment, by Pivotal) toyed with her opposition when bringing another victory for red-hot Excelebration at Newcastle on Friday night.
The Jeremy Noseda-trained filly was sent off odds-on to break her maiden and she did it some style, putting four and a half lengths between herself and the rest of the field.
The Racing Post commented that she "was in command from some way out and only required a hands and heels ride to put her seal on things".

Enable Clean URL's for Drupal on Debian 7 (Wheezy)
To enable Drupal Clean URL's on a host running Debian 7 (Wheezy), two following steps will be required in order use the core Drupal URL Aliases module. First you will need to enable the apache rewrite module, once enabled you will then need to update the virtual host file to allow for overrides. Once these steps have been completed, you will then need to either restart or reload Apache.
Installing GIT on Bluehost Shared Hosting
GIT is a valuable tool for maintaining version control for project files. Unfortunately Bluehost does not provide "out of the box" support for installing or configuring git, so in order to get it installed on a shared Bluehost account the installation must be performed manually. The following is a guide for installing the GIT version control package on a shared Bluehost environment.
Repair Corrupted MySQL Tables
I first noticed the issue when I attempted an automated backup using Drush.
The issue seemed to be due to a previous issue where our web server ran out of hard disk space, which resulted many of the databases becoming locked.
In my case, when I needed to perform a backup Drush resulted in the following error:
"Database dump failed"
To further inspect the problem I initiated a manual mysqldump that also returned an error, but this time there was additional information provided along with the error.
Installing Drush on GoDaddy Shared Linux Hosting
If you're looking to install Drush on your shared hosting GoDadddy account; you must first enable SSH for your account. Once SSH has been enabled you can then use the tutorial below to install Drush; follow each step and you will be using Drush in just a few quick steps.
Cloning the Entire Drupal Repository to a Local Server
If you need to clone every project from Drupal.org you can do so using a quick one-liner and drush!
Although it's not required, it is a good idea to start by installing a base install of Drupal using the latest project code from Drupal.org.
You will also need to have drush installed on your machine as drush will be used to download each project.
Once you have your clean install ready, navigate to your site directory and use enter the following command:
Configure Varnish to Forward Client IP Addresses in the Apache Logs
By default, after installing Varnish you may notice that the client IP address listed in the Apache log files is 127.0.0.1. If you have configured Varnish to listen for traffic on port 80 and forward all non-cached traffic onto Apache. Apache sees this a local request so the IP address will appear to be 127.0.0.1. This can prove to be annoying when debugging your site or if you ever have the need to block requests made by a particular IP address. To solve this problem we will need to enable vcl_rev in our default.vcl file and configure it to forward the client IP address. Then we will need to configure apache to support a new LogFormat, and then we will need to modify our virtual hosts to support the new format. This tutorial assumes that you already have Varnish configured with Apache and it is working as expected.
Creating a Virtualhost for Apache 2.X
Name-based virtual hosting allows for hosting multiple websites with different domains and subdomains on a single server. To configure a web server for name-based virtual hosting, you will need to add a virtualhost configuration and for this example I am using Apache2. This tutorial was tested against Debian 6 Squeeze, but should be applicable for most linux operating systems. For this example we will use the nano as a command line editor, but you could use vi, gedit, or any other preferred editor. Also for the example, I will use sub.example.com as a placeholder, which will need to be modified to reflect the domain name or subdomain that you intend to use for your virtualhost. The domain chosen in the example is for a subdomain, but by simply dropping the prefix of "sub." the virtualhost will instead then be valid for the primary domain of "example.com".
Queue File Size Limit Exceeded: Postfix Bouncing Email Larger than 1MB
Configuring SSL for Apache on Debian or Ubuntu
Manually configuring SSL for Apache can be tricky for the beginner or those coming from a shared hosting where everything is handled from a control panel such as cPanel or Webmin. The following tutorial will guide you through the steps required for configuring SSL on a Debian based operating system such as Ubuntu, Debian Mint, or good old vanilla Debian. The operating system used for this tutorial was Debian 6 Squeeze.

When Jessica was 2 weeks old she was diagnosed with multiple heart defects. Some of these are: pulmonary artesia, VSD, pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary branch stenosis. click here to learn more about these heart defects Jessica was in congestive heart failure and was hospitalized. Jessica spent much of her life in and out of the hospital. Jessica was struggling to gain weight and every little cold or illness would send her into the hospital. She was very "blue" and would cough and choke a lot. Jessica was diagnosed with GE Reflux and put on medication for that. Finally the pediatric cardiologists felt that she needed surgery when she was 5 months old, even though she only weighed 10lbs. Jessica suffered a stroke with her first heart surgery and her right side was weak. The stroke was in the speech area of the brain and by 18 months of age, it was obvious that she was having extreme difficulty with speech and was trying desperately to communicate. Our home-bound teacher recommended sign language. We worked with the teacher and speech pathologist and only 6 months later Jessica could sign over 80 words! Slowly the speech came....being facilitated by the sign language. Jessica was also delayed in other areas due to the stroke. She didn't sit up until she was about a year old or walk until she was two. Her heart and body were weak, but her spirit was not! She was determined!
Jessica was born with polydactaly (2 extra fingers and 1 extra toe).
Jessica was about 8 months old in this photo. You can see the extra fingers here.
Jessica had surgery to remove her extra fingers and toes. Here she is with her older brother, Justen
Playing peek-a-boo!
Jessica and her brother, Justen...1991
Jessica used mostly sign language at this age due to a stroke she suffered during her first heart surgery when she was 5 months old. The sign language facilitated the speech and language skills. She did learn how to talk... but she didn't learn how to STOP talking. haha! She once said about her talking all the time, "It's what I do best!" She did a lot of things "best".

She did learn how to talk... but she didn't learn how to STOP talking. haha! She once said about her talking all the time, "It's what I do best!" She did a lot of things "best".
At age 3 when Jessica's shunt was to be replaced...the shunt was
accidentally cut and she hemorrhaged out and went 8 min. with out receiving oxygen to her brain and suffered a 2nd, massive stroke and bled for days.
She also caught an infection in her blood and 4 days after surgery we
were called to the hospital early in the morning to spend her last hours
with her. She was bleeding, having seizures and with the infection surly
would die. God blessed us immensely and she stopped bleeding on her own
after losing 1/3 of her blood volume in only 4 hours. She was in a
medically induced coma for a couple of days in order to completely stop
the bleeding. 10 days after surgery she finally came off the ventilator.
To our dismay she was blind and her left side was paralized. We thought
to ourselves, what have we done! After several days of waiting, tests,
and many prayers, Jessica received her eyesight enough to be able to see
her mommy and daddy. She was finally calm and could take comfort in
them. She finally came home from the hospital a couple of weeks later a
very sick little girl who had to learn to sit up, stand, walk and talk
all over again. But this awesome, strong-willed child showed everyone
what faith and hard work can do. She did learn to do all those things
again. I always said that her motto is: "I'm not going to let a little
thing like heart surgery and a stroke get me down!"
Here she is with Santa. She was also afraid of him at that age but sat on his lap for the picture anyway... she began to realize that he wasn't such a bad guy after all. hehe
Pictured below: Jessica recovering post-surgery. She had to have her arms strapped down or she would pull out her tubes and wires. We covered her incision and 2 chest tubes so her brother, Justen, wouldn't freak out when he saw her. He was always so concerned about his sister and hated to see her "owies". I only have two photos of her in ICU - none with her intubated - because I knew I would never forget what she went through. A part of me wishes that I would have taken those photos so others would see how strong she was and what she and other CHD children go through. She looks so sad... she was very depressed until she went home. She perked up when she was able to be at home and be with her brother. Jess had to re-learn how to walk and talk..and even had to relearn how to sit up. We had to start at square one all over again.
Jessica after 3rd heart surgery, 1993 ~ Dr. Donnerstein & Dr. Goldberg with Jessica.
Pictured below: Jessica at Project ABLE, a special ed preschool program through the public schools for children ages 3 - 5. She sure blossomed through this program. By the way, she was terrified of balloons and those were real balloons in the photo below. She cried a little but I was able to get her to calm down for the photo. Just one of the million times she was brave.
I made Easter dresses that match! I don't remember the exact year that this picture was taken but Jess must have been about 6 yrs old at the time. She loved that dress and hat. This was before she had to wear oxygen 24/7. She only had to have it when she had "tet spells"... where she would over-exert herself and get extremely short of breath and "blue".
Jessica on her way to Dietz Elementary school. Her last year in grade school! Jessica's heart defects prevented her from walking around very much without having a 'tet spell' (explained above) so she needed a motorized wheelchair. By this time she needed the oxygen constantly. She was such a trooper! She learned how to drive her wheelchair very quickly and enjoyed the freedom it gave her.
Jessica swinging 1999. Yes, she would swing with her oxygen on and I would have to make sure that she didn't get it caught onto anything. That girl never learned to watch out where her oxygen was. If she wanted to go somewhere - she would just go. Many times the oxygen would get caught and come off. She hated going back to unhook it so she oftentimes just kept going and I (or her brothers) would have to get it for her. I would tease her that most of my appliances stop working when they come unplugged so why is she still going? She would answer, "Oh Mom!" in a joking tone. When Karl would tease her she would say, "Daddy!" in the same tone.
Jessica gets to sit in the search and rescue helicopter at a local fair and demonstration. She was a little nervous but she did it! We didn't get to ride in it but she was so proud of herself that she was able to get inside. They showed us the medical equipment that they carry in the helicopter - sadly we knew what most of it was due to our experiences at the hospital. She had already had all of her 5 heart surgeries by that time.

I'll try to post more to her life story later. Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you will leave a little comment for Jessica's birthday today.
