The Dog That Started It All (or The Hardest Part of Love)
Lucy & Foxy
Up till this point, I have only briefly mentioned my first foster dog. Lately, several people have been asking me about it, and I think it's time I talk about it.
Nearly a year ago, I decided to become a foster parent, so I got Lucy leashed up and went to the local shelter. I wanted Lucy to be there for obvious reasons: any dog I took in had to get along with her. That was pretty much my only requirement. We met three dogs. The first was too dominant. The second, too shy and stand-off-ish. The third, well, as "Goldilocks" as it sounds, she seemed just right! It was settled that I would leave her at the shelter overnight, and pick her up the next day.
Small disclaimer here: Foxy is not her real name. I have decided, for the sake of all involved, to change and/or omit names as much as possible for this post. My intention in telling this story is not to offend, upset or insult anyone, but simply to tell a story that I think needs to be told.
When I first got Foxy, she was 6 months old. At about 25 lbs, she was truly a pocket pittie, probably mixed with some sort of hound breed. She had been abandoned on the street and was found by a family who, even though they couldn't keep her, cared enough to surrender her to a shelter where they knew she would be well taken care of. The shelter put her through the basic rounds: vaccinations, spay, microchip, etc. She had just been spayed several days before I met her, so she had to wear a t-shirt knotted around her (when not wearing her e-collar) – I thought it was adorable, really.
Well, I quickly realized that Foxy wasn't quite as perfect as Lucy – nor was I expecting her to be. On our walks, when she would so much as smell, let alone hear or see, another dog, she would start barking at it. A pittie-looking dog with hound bark? Bad combo, right? Obviously, I kept her as far from other dogs as possible while on leash, but I simply couldn't figure it out. At home, she and Lucy were best buds: sharing toys, beds, they would even walk beautifully together while on leash. But with any other dog while on leash, she became so fearful.
I found out the term for this issue was called being "leash reactive." And in many instances, this is something that can be counter-conditioned. Just watch this video from Dr. Sophia Yin:
But in New York City, the streets are so unpredictable. There was no controlled environment for me to safely to put these practices into effect on my own. Regardless, within a couple of days, I was contacted by a potential adopter. I was sad, because Foxy was getting along so well in my home and I was quickly developing a relationship with her, but so thrilled that Foxy could possibly get a family of her own and I could help save another dog. The adopters came over later that day to meet her. I was very frank about Foxy's issues, and explained that she would need considerable training. Because of the immediate connection they felt with her, and their being financially stable, they told me they were ready to commit to working with Foxy and make her feel safe and secure through love and training. After only six days, Foxy was moving on. I sent along with her some instructions, as well as recommendations for dog walkers, groomers, etc.
A week later, the dog walker they had hired (one of my recommendations) called. Foxy was being returned to the shelter immediately; there had been an incident. Over dinner, I was given the whole story: the walker was running late from a previous walk. They had a choice to either let Foxy wait, despite not being fully house-broken yet, or attempt socialization and bring the current dog to Foxy's parents' home and walk the two together. In my book, the wrong choice was made. The walker introduced the two dogs indoors off-leash, and then, after a bit, leashed them both up and went to leave.
As they were walking out the door, the worst happened. To make it as simple as possible, suffice it to say that it involved dog teeth on human skin & flesh, significant damage to walls and doors, and sufficiently terrified owners. It was a disaster, for lack of a better word.
Foxy lived at the shelter for three weeks, and underwent many behavioral evaluations. Options were weighed, but nothing seemed certain for her anymore. I strongly felt that what happened was not her fault, and Foxy deserved another chance to find the owners that were right for her. She needed someone in a suburb, with a yard for her to run and play, and enough resources to help her learn not to be afraid anymore. So, Foxy came back to live with me and Lucy, and it was like nothing had changed.
Lucy & Foxy
Playtime interspersed with naps interspersed with training sessions. I adjusted my schedule so that I could take Foxy outside during times when there were not a lot of people and dogs out. We walked a special route where I knew we would not encounter many dogs, and I was diligent about keeping a watch out so that I could prevent issues before they could develop. Foxy always wore a gentle leader head harness and a second leash attached to her collar. I had control over her every move, and she was happy for it – I showered her in treats from the time a leash went on until they both came off.
In the meantime, I reached out to everyone I could. I emailed bloggers (this is when I met Love and a Six-Foot Leash, who were more helpful to me than they could ever really know), I called and emailed professional trainers requesting free or low-cost training sessions, and reached out to several other shelters and animal sanctuaries to see if they had a better fit for Foxy than anyone in New York City could. No other shelter would even consider her – she had a bite history, after all. Only one trainer offered to help, and their idea of that was to "test her threshold" by taking her near a dog park. Not even the renowned trainer affiliated with the shelter would come over for 15 minutes.
Lucy & Foxy spooning
I felt exactly like so many dogs we hear stories about – abandoned. It seemed like the entire animal welfare community, for one reason or another, had completely turned their back on me and Foxy. But I kept at it – our schedule remained the way it was, and we continued to work as much as we could, but not much progress was being made. Then, it happened again.
We were out on a walk, and somewhere on our block, a dog was in a window…barking. It's not like I saw a dog far away down the block and could simply cross the street. There was no escape, and Foxy was quickly spiraling out of control. I got her into a somewhat-secluded spot where I attempted to regain her focus with high value rewards (the typical fare: hot dogs, cheese, turkey chunks), but nothing was helping. I was so concerned on getting Foxy to focus on me, I didn't notice the woman walking toward us, but Foxy did. She only caught the hem of the woman's dress, thankfully. But a horrible image flashed through my mind: what if that were a child and not a dress?
Lucy & Foxy
My first foster had been a complete failure, and not in the "foster failure" way that we all hope for. What I dreaded from the start had become the reality: I had to bring Foxy to be euthanized. The danger she posed to me and my neighborhood (since no one else would take her) was too great. There was no way around it. Being the only humans in her life, Jennifer & I had to take her to the vet ourselves. Even though it was something I never imagined doing, I knew it was the right thing. In their post "Goodnight, sweet Blue," Love and a Six-Foot Leash said it best, "no matter how much you want to help, you can't fix every dog." I couldn't fix Foxy, and no one else was going to try. So the only thing to do was to say, "Goodnight, sweet Foxy."
There was another reason I had to make this decision: the reputation of the pit bull breed. Would having a leash reactive dog in midtown Manhattan really affect change in the perception of these dogs? Would adopting Foxy out again to a family that couldn't handle her issues be a positive influence on people? I wish I could have created the perfect world for Foxy to live in for the rest of her life, but that's not reality. We have the cards we're dealt, and we can only do so much with them.
Our last night
When I got home, I took Lucy out for her walk. When we were done, I collapsed on the floor, hysterically crying. Despite knowing I had done the "right thing," I felt so wrong. It took a little while for me to come back out of the black hole I dug for myself, but I grew to understand why Foxy's story had to unfold the way that it did. And then Lola Bird came into my life, and I realized my fostering journey was very far from over…

Gifts of Gratitude Tour
I've embarked on a Gifts of Gratitude tour which has allowed me to spend time with my wonderful friends and supporters of Database Sherpa. It's given me a change to talk to them about the future of Database Sherpa and to give gratitude to them for helping me on this path. I'm so grateful to all those that support and encourage the growth of Database Sherpa. During this tour, I've been reflecting on what I have learned:
- People love to share stories of success and triumph. It's a joy to listen and learn from them. My favorite story during this tour was the one with a client who has found an amazing intern who has helped immensely with their database. This intern has transformed into a leader of the system, getting cues and ideas from others. This was exciting news and I plan to meet this intern soon!
- Individuals want you to succeed. Everyone I have met has wished me luck, has hopes for the best for me, and encouraged me to continue this work. No one said that they were not receiving any benefit from the coaching and support I provided. Most were asking how they could help me further my work. How wonderful!
- Ideas are everywhere. My clients have so many ideas of what Database Sherpa could be and more that it could offer. I was astounded by the marvelous ideas and concepts presented to me. Now, to digest them all!
This experience has been wonderful for me and I hope to give back to this community by providing additional services to them such as webinars and possibly some resources.
I want to thank all of the individuals and organizations that have helped to make Database Sherpa such a successful business. I appreciate your dedication to me and it drives me to continue to do this work!

One thing I absolutely love about weddings is the small and unique touches. Something as simple as a table place card can really add character and creativity to any Hilton Head, Charleston or Myrtle Beach wedding! Not to mention it can completely influence the entire décor of the reception area. Table place cards are truly a necessity in making sure your reception runs smoothly and that guests sit at the right table. So why not make yours unforgettable?! Here are some great ideas for wedding table place cards:
Drink Along Place Cards
Message in a Bottle Place Cards
Movie Title Place Cards
Polaroid Place Cards
Seashell Place cards
Vintage Key Place Cards
Place cards with an extra treat
DIY Vintage Place Cards
Wine Cork Inspired Place Cards
Suite of Hearts Place Cards

Pomelody is a new home based e-learning music platform that can potentially increase IQ by 18%. As a parent children's toys can be boring, I will admit that I don't particularly enjoy playing with them all. Pomelody offers the ability to connect with your child and have fun with music!
So you might be wondering how Pomelody started. Professional musicians Adam and Anna came up with the idea whilst raising their children. They knew how music can have a positive impact on a child's development and wanted to try find musical content that they could use in order to interact with their children.
There was very little musical content available and what was available was unstructured. They set about designing, testing and recording a series of specially recorded songs, music theory tutorials for parents and animated stories for kids. The result is the first simple to access (online via PC, laptop or tablet), fun and engaging platform for parents to embrace music along with their young children.
Pomelody is a comprehensive online music education system for children 0-6 and their families. It's the world's first music education e-learning platform for infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers.
Pomelody is designed from the ground up to stimulate a child's music potential while giving parents (even those with no music ability) an opportunity to bond and have fun. Every quarter, Pomelody delivers an online (via PC, laptop, tablet) series of music. Each season will consist of 10 family music making classes, animated lectures with music theory and animated stories for the children.
Adam, Weber founder of Pomelody, said: "Music is such a powerful medium to stimulate a child's imagination. Its benefits stretch way beyond childhood with many reports suggesting that it can boost an individual's adult IQ by up to 18%, compared to children with no early years music exposure.
Whilst this is motivation in itself, it's the sheer joy and bonding between a child and its parents that makes interacting with music so magical. With Pomelody we have a created a unique opportunity for families to bond, to learn, to have fun and to stimulate the next generation. We arvery excited to bring this project to market and, fingers crossed, we can achieve our stretch goal and give free access to underprivileged children around the world."
Music is so much fun and so beneficial to young children.
I think that Pomelody sounds like a really great idea to get children and us as parents excited and involved in music.
Do your children like music?

It is that time of year again. When I was vaccuuming the house tonight I realised that I hadn't made a decision to put up the tree, so it is still sitting in the cupboard where I found it today while looking for a ball of yarn that I had lost. My house is looking decidedly unChristmassy, except for the cards on the shelf above the kitchen splashback, and the presents needing to be wrapped sitting on the table. Amongst those presents are a selection of pressies for my neighbours gorgeous baby girl born today. I am assuming she is gorgeous, I haven't met her yet, but her parents are great people. Congrats to G and S on the birth of little K! Merry Christmas.
Back to the ball of yarn. I have been looking for it for about 3 months, which is when I last put it in a safe place. Since then, I have turned the place upside down numerous times looking for the rotten thing. Of course, I found it in the last place I looked, which was also a place I am sure I have looked before. Now if only I could remember which project I had decided I was going to use it for. It was either mittens or a hat.
Speaking of hats, one of my great work mates bought me flowers for my birthday a couple of weeks ago, so I returned the favour by making her a hat. I think I became addicted to Patons Jet while I was making it, it is great stuff to work with. When I get time I will post a pic of it. Right now I have to find a pattern on Ravelry that I thought I had printed.
Hope you all have a great day tomorrow, whether it be close to family or far away from them.
I know I will have a great day, my wonderful Mum makes her delicious Christmas Pudding while watching the Christmas Eve carols. Can't wait to eat it tomorrow.

In this season of off-the-cuff statements that turn out to have wide-ranging diplomatic consequences, it's worth thinking back to the ur-substantive gaffe of the Obama administration's foreign policy.
One the defining moments of the 2008 election from an international affairs point of view came during the July 24, 2007 CNN/YouTube presidential primary debate, when an audience member asked Sen. Barack Obama, "would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries?" To everyone's shock, Obama said he would, and that "that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them–which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration–is ridiculous."
The response was slammed as "irresponsible and frankly naive" by Hillary Clinton campaign. Republicans were even harsher. But rather than backtrack, Obama doubled down on the idea, saying during a later one-on-one debate with Hillary Clinton that "it's important for the United States not just to talk to its friends, but also to talk to its enemies. In fact, that's where diplomacy makes the biggest difference." My now-colleague Matthew Yglesias argued in the Atlantic in 2008 that it was this early "gaffe" that helped Obama discover his distinctive voice on foreign policy.
The thing is, it never really happened, either in Obama's first year or any point afterward. Obama did "greet" Hugo Chavez at a summit in 2009, and received some reading material, but there was never an official meeting with the late Venezuelan leader or his successor, Nicolas Maduro. There's been some low-level thawing of diplomatic relations with Cuba, but nothing close to a meeting between Obama and either Castro brother. Same story with both Kims. There was movement to normalize relations with Syria during the first term, but generally with then Sen. John Kerry acting as intermediary.
Of course, at the time, the question was really about Iran, and its bellicose president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Obama has recorded yearly Nowruz messages aimed at the Iranian public, but never a sit-down with Ahmadinejad or anything close to it.
Now, it appears, with a new president in Tehran, the U.S.-Iranian presidential meeting that Obama said he was open to in 2007 might actually happen:
White House spokesman Jay Carney has deflected questions all week about whether the two leaders would meet during the U.N. gathering. On Thursday, he acknowledged a change in tone between Iran and the West since Rouhani took office and said a meeting was possible, though one was not scheduled. "It's possible, but it has always been possible," Carney said. "The extended hand has been there from the moment the president was sworn in."
The meeting in question would probably be more along the lines of the brief Chavez encounter. But with Rouhani making all the right noises in advance of the U.N. summit this week, a more formalized summit seems more plausible than it ever did in the Ahmadinejad days.
Obama's logic in 2007, when he pointed out that "Ronald Reagan and Democratic presidents like JFK constantly spoke to Soviet Union at a time when Ronald Reagan called them an evil empire… because they understood that we may not trust them and they may pose an extraordinary danger to this country, but we had the obligation to find areas where we can potentially move forward," makes as much sense today as it did at the time. Hopefully with a leader in Iran who's more conciliatory in tone, and will perhaps turn out to be more substantively cooperative than his predecessor, the president can finally follow through on this campaign promise.

I came across this beautiful note on acceptance, that reminded me of soulfulness.. thought of sharing and having in my notes here.
When we don't accept an undesired event, it becomes *Anger*;
when we accept it, it becomes *Tolerance.*
When we don't accept uncertainty,
it becomes *Fear*;
when we accept it,
it becomes *Adventure.*
When we don't accept other's bad behaviour towards us,
it becomes *Hatred;*
when we accept it,
it becomes *Forgiveness.*
When we don't accept other's Success, it becomes *Jealousy;* when we accept it,
it becomes *Inspiration.*
Acceptance is the key to handling life well.

I had intended on doing an outfit post today, but I decided that what we all really need is some cute cat photos. Fortunately, I have quite a few of those. You're welcome.
I took about 200 photos this weekend; over 50% of them were of the cats. They both spent most of the weekend lounging on the couch downstairs; this was an odd occurrence since they don't usually nap/lounge in such close proximity to each other. I think they both wanted to be near the window in order to get a good view of the arial show the birds were putting on around the feeder. In any case, it was adorable.

What's your superpower? / What do you want it to be?
Turning a hodgepodge of ingredients into something delicious and making the worlds best homemade kale Caesar salad. I would love to be able to fly; it would make getting to the top of a mountain and escaping city traffic much easier. If given the choice though, I would be torn between flying and nourishing – the ability to feed people well is an incredible gift.
How do you express gratitude?
Cooking. Good food has the ability to connect, ground, nourish and enliven people. A shared meal can say "thank you," "I love you," "let's be friends," "you are appreciated" and "I am grateful" all at once. For me, the gratitude I can share with others through nourishment goes beyond what I will ever be able to express with words. It's like tangible love that feeds the body, mind and soul.
Why do you share yoga?
I experience yoga as an incredibly powerful, deeply connecting practice that ignites energy, vitality and peace within me. These are sensations and experiences I think we could all use a little more of in our lives. I think we, as modern humans, have the tendency to give and give and give, often to the point of self-depletion. There's a sense of emptiness, fatigue and exhaustion, despite the fact that we're working harder and achieving more. The cycle is not sustainable unless we take the time to receive in return, to fill-our-own-cup so to speak. The practice of yoga is one way we can give back to the self, to nourish our minds and bodies and to show ourselves the amount of care we give to others. I share yoga to share the incredible sense of connection, care, love, energy and empowerment that I think all of us deserve.
What's your favorite pose? Why?
Viparita karani (aka "legs up the wall pose") because my legs and spine feel so much relief. Especially after a long day on my feet, a hard run or a tough ski, this pose rocks my world. I love to close my eyes and imagine I can watch the blood emptying from my toes back to my heart until I can feel my feet tingle. When I get out of the pose I always feel a million times better than when I started. It sort of melts away stress and fatigue and anything else I have going on at that moment.
When was the last time you laughed out loud?
Today, thankfully! I hope that's my answer tomorrow and the next day too. Today it was at my dog who likes to wedge a tennis ball in the crook of the couch and then roll back and forth across it, giving herself a little doggie massage. She figured it out all on her own and it makes me laugh every time I see her do it. It's a glimpse of pure joy and innocence and I love it.
What always makes you smile?
Fresh picked vegetables. Waking up to blue skies and sunshine. Reaching the top of a mountain. A meal shared with friends. Snowflakes. Connecting with good people.
What does flow mean to you?
Flow means the ability to let go of expectations, definitions and boundaries. It's the ability to embrace change, realizing that when you stop fighting it change is the instigator of growth, adventure and experience. To me, flow feels like a state of balance between softness, ease, energy and excitement; it has both calming and vitalizing qualities. It's both a quality and an experience that yoga has helped me embrace both on and off the mat.
What can our TGY friends expect from your class?
FLOW - both the physical kind and all of the other definitions listed above). TRUTH – yoga is not all rainbows and unicorns - let's be real - it's a genuine inquiry into human nature, connection, movement, breath, reality and life and I honor that. HAPPINESS – even if it's just a glimpse of a smile found in your practice on a really tough day. GRATITUDE – the practice of yoga helps us tune in and "be here now" so we can really see and feel what we're experiencing and find gratitude for both the little and the big things. GOODNESS – whether you're in handstand or shavasana, my goal is to share a sensation of goodness with everyone. I want you to leave your mat feeling better, stronger, happier, good-er or whatever else it may be!
Sarah is an RYT-200 and is studying to receive her Masters of Science in Holistic Nutrition (candidate 2014). She has been practicing yoga for 8 years and is a lover of mountains, sunshine, good food and good people.

With passion for eyewear
Burnrate is an economic term for negative cash flow.
It is a measure for how fast a company will use up its shareholder capital. If the shareholder capital is exhausted, the company will either have to start making a profit, find additional funding, or close down. Introduced into Contemporary Art by graphic designer turned artist Peter Saville it could now refer to the rate by which the art viewing public have acquired the knowledge to 'decipher' Contemporary Art. It also refers to the 'sped up' nature of culture today, of course the situation may just as quickly 'speed down'.
Culture today is one of an entrenched stylistic pluralism (a flat pluralism) with a lack of any sense of avant garde. Due to the internet all images, concepts and histories are available at all times. Modernism was characterised by a linear series of competing '-isms'. We must now accept there will be no more easy '-isms'. Post Digital Art is only an attempt by the status quo to regressively re-instil a new marketable 'ism' for the commercial and academic markets. What is radical today is that increasingly the dispersion of images and culture is MORE important than the actual objects of Contemporary Art which serve now as props in the theatre of a global market.
Burn Rate: Commercial Space seeks to be both a store for 1980s postmodern artefacts AND an artist's Project Space.
Burn Rate: Commercial Space seeks to be both a store for 1980s postmodern artefacts AND an artist's Project Space. Postmodern thought is a precursor of the the situation now. The radical scepticism of the postmodern is our inspiration. The idea that form need not follow function we embrace. We are for art as artifice and film prop; low over high; popular over aristocratic taste...and we have passion for eyewear as we know Bauhaus is winning the war!

The Prince's Countryside Fund is inviting anyone living in rural areas of the UK to contribute to their latest research, Recharging Rural. Professor Sarah Skerratt from Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) and the Fund want to find out the different ways in which the challenges of 'remote rural' are being experienced by people and communities across the UK.
Participants are encouraged to fill in the survey regardless of their location in the countryside – whether they live and work somewhere traditionally seen as geographically remote, or places considered 'within easy reach' of towns and cities but that feel remote owing to a lack of connections, such as transport, broadband, or social links.
This research project will discover what makes communities in remote rural parts of the UK sustainable, and aims to identify ways forward into 2030 and beyond. This survey is open to everyone who lives or works in or for rural areas of the UK, and is available in English, Welsh, and Scots Gaelic. The survey will remain open until Wednesday 18th April 2018.
Click here to find out more about the research and follow the link to the survey.

Some informations regarding the upcoming Adeptus Titanicus:
- Adeptus Titanicus is delayed (it was originally planned to be released around february). Not being rushed out. Might be out before the end of the year.
Is the black book you mention here an Horus Heresy black book, or a Adeptus Titanicus rule book?ReplyDelete
mummmm, plastic.... worth the wait as it will mean the game stands a greater chance of succeeding!Delete
Adeptus Titanicus Black Book :)Delete
Plastic would help it to succeed. Looking at the rumours that already came out about the models (equivalents to the FW dreads variants in size/pricing and such) along with no plastic starter set. I won't be able to afford to play it with resin only models :(Delete
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the success of Blood Bowl has delayed this. As in, Blood Bowl has been so ludicrously successful that they're going to hold this back to do it properly, ie with a full boxed game and plastics.ReplyDelete
Plástic Epic Titans... Best way to start the year for sure.
Yesssssss plastic!ReplyDelete
I'll take the delay for plastics in a heartbeat.ReplyDelete
Well it's a shame it's delayed but on the other hand, maybe 2017 won't be quite as expensive as I thought.
The delay is completely acceptable if it means even just warhounds in plastic.ReplyDelete
Omg omg The book art for 'Titan's Death' is being worked on right now - what is it? It's Forge World HH book number 9????ReplyDelete
I had a big discussion with Alan Bligh on this topic in November. It's not Forgeworld, but specialist games. So not number nine so to speak, but will have the feel of the FW black books. A lot of the resources will come from the FW, the art department for example.Delete
Awesome. We need massive Titans battles in HH and W40K and good lore and chroniclesDelete

Title: Buried Appearances
Author: D.E. Haggerty
Release date: November 4th, 2013
Genre: Contemporary
Book Description:
Skylar Dewitt has been ostracized her entire life due to her grandfather's well-known sympathies with the Nazis. But now her grandfather's body has been recovered in the Netherlands in an area famous for being a Nazi killing ground. Why would her grandfather be buried in a place legendary for assassinations of resistance members? Skylar jets off to Holland in search of answers about her grandfather's demise. Along the way she finds long-lost family and old friends but will she solve the mystery of what happened to her grandfather? And maybe she discovers something more valuable than resolving any mystery could be: herself
My Review ~ 4 Stars!
* Bookends received a free e-copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review *
Buried Appearances is the story of Skylar Dewitt. A young woman all alone in the world with the exception of her best, and only, friend Andy. Skylar's grandmother, Oma, immigrated to the United States from the Netherlands when Skylar's father was very young. Oma's husband Joost was a suspected Nazi sympathizer and life in Holland was very difficult at that time for the family of Nazi sympathizers. Oma tried her best to start over fresh in America and put her family's past behind them and for a while her family did prosper. Oma made friends in her community. She raised her son in peace and he grew up and married and had a child of his own, Skylar. But when a picture of Joost in his Nazi uniform was published in the local paper, the whole town (with the exception of a scarce few) turned their back on the Dewitts. Skylar's mother couldn't take the ostracism so she packed up and left and Skylar's father turned to alcohol which eventually led to his suicide leaving Skylar to be raised by the only family she had left, Oma. Skylar's childhood was anything but easy with the constant bullying and adulthood wasn't much better, especially without Oma to turn to. When a letter comes in the mail from Holland raising new questions about Joost's disappearance and who he was loyal to, Skylar hops on a plane to uncover the truth and clear her family's name.
I thought this book started off a little shaky with some unnecessary bad language and a whole lot of talk about coffee but soon enough the author hit a stride and had me hooked. I loved all of the history that the author managed to add to this book. Instead of taking away from the story like you might expect it would, it took it to a whole other level and made it that much better. The characters were well written and the storyline flowed nicely. I really loved Skylar's spirit and tenacity in this book, the relationships the author formed among the characters weren't overdone, and there was just the right amount of mystery and intrigue to keep you flipping pages until the very end.
All in all, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes a good whodunit with a spunky/feisty heroine and a healthy dose of history. Very well done!
About the Author:
I was born and raised in Wisconsin but think I'm a European (a cloggy to be exact). After spending my senior year of high school in Germany, I developed a bad case of wanderlust that is yet to be cured. After high school I returned to the U.S. to go to college ending up with a Bachelor's degree in History at the tender age of 20 while still managing to spend time bouncing back and forth to Europe during my vacations (oh the benefits of a long-distance relationship). Unable to find a job after college and still suffering from wanderlust, I joined the U.S. Army as a Military Policewoman for 5 years (the Peace Corps was too much paperwork). While stationed in Heidelberg, Germany, I met my future husband, a flying Dutchman (literally). After being given my freedom from the Army, I went off to law school. I finished law school and moved to the Netherlands with my husband and became a commercial lawyer for more than a decade. During a six month break from the lawyering world, I wrote Unforeseen Consequences. Although I finished the book, I went back to the law until I could no longer take it and upped stakes and moved to Germany to start a B&B. Three years after starting the B&B, I got the itch to try something else and decided to pull the manuscript for Unforeseen Consequences out of the attic and get it published as an e-book. Between tennis, running, traveling, singing off tune, reading, playing part-time lawyer and running the B&B, I'm working on my 3rd book.

In our home every other year is a Birthday Party year. And I know it sounds crazy, but I have all the kids on the same year so that on the off years it's nothing but simple family fun. Well this year is the party year and Bryce's was first up. He originally wanted to have kind of a beach party theme, but that seemed a little broad so I asked him to narrow it down and this is what he came up with:
Courtesy of a cute little store on Etsy, but I can't remember which one right now! I'll find it and let you all know ;)
I had all of these grand ideas and ordered a lot of it off the Internet and as usual my luck always runs out and pretty much nothing was delivered on time. Go figure!!! Thankfully I'm getting really good at improvising ;)
I made Shark sugar cookies and cupcakes (which were supposed to have little plastic sharks in them...didn't come) but at least they had blue (ocean) frosting ;)
First the crowd frosted/decorated cookies while we waited for guests to arrive...
Next we played a little toss the shark for some fun shark inspired prizes...
I found these cute little hammerhead sharks at Target that were just perfect for this!!
Then we headed to the pool to cool off and have some fun! We actually heated the pool and it was a refreshing 92 degrees by party time. Just perfect for this April day!!!
Bryce was having so much fun and made sure I came up with a lot of water games to play. We had swimming races, holding your breath, etc. It was super cute to watch him with all of his little buddies. He is such a quiet little kid that it always amazes me to see him interact with his friends.
Afterwords we rounded the kids up for some cupcakes and presents.
And luckily the UPS man showed up early and delivered the grand finale. I really would have been upset if this little guy didn't make it.
All in all it was a great party and according to Bryce...the best day ever!!! So worth the frustration!!!


text: There are very funny ways to die. You need a paradigm shift. You need to be creative, use your imagination. Did you ever see a photograph of a cruise ship at sea? Like in the beginning of 'The Love Boat,' that crane shot over the ocean that you've seen on all the brochures: in the middle of that vast ocean, stretching infinitely in all directions -- huge body of water -- that little, tiny cruise ship, and in the middle of that little, tiny cruise ship, that little, tiny swimming pool. Drown in that pool -- that's funny.

You can't get enough knowledge, not in one lifetime anyway, so if you haven't seen it already go check out Chase Jarvis' brand new offering, Creative Live. He has roped in some of the big names in the business to give us knowledge for free.
What's the catch?? Well, there isn't really one. If you catch the seminars at the time they go out live, they are completely free. But if you want to source them from his archive of seminars, then there is a small fee. Seems pretty fair to me.

Meta73 was born to go beyond the quality and expectations buyers typically experience. Transcendent Goods has grown from a tagline into their ethos, driving their product line, becoming their true north. They look forward to connecting with you on this journey.
There are two things that I struggle with being a Keurig user and I'm sure every Keuring owner already knows what these struggles are.
First off K Cups are just toooooo expensive. I have spend way too much money buying these tiny cups that you only use once and then toss into that ever growing pile of k cup trash. I could build a castle out of the amount K cups I have thrown away.
These awesome MetaCups are the solution to this problem. With these re-fillable, re-useable cups there is no need to spend my entire paycheck on coffee. Not only does it save me money but I can now put any brand of coffee I love into my Keurig. I can buy whole beans and grind them how I want them and use my favorite flavors and roasts.
The MetaCups also allow me to dump my used grounds into a container and put them into my garden. I use grounds to create a border around my veggies to keep out slugs and critters so they won't munch on my plants.
The amazing people at Meta73 Transcendant Goods sent me two packs of MetaCups. I received the MetaCups 2.0 reusable K Cup for Keurig 2.0 brewing systems. The reusable 2.0 K-cup coffee filters work seamlessly in all Keurig 2.0 Brewers - K200, K300, K400, K500 Series and Keurig 1.0 single server coffee maker.
My second struggle with pre-filled K-Cups is, as I mentioned before the amount of trash. Being a girl from Northern California I am always aware of how much trash we are polluting Mother Nature with. Adding 5 K-Cups a day to the landfills that clog our Earth just does not sit right with me.
Using these Eco-Friendly, 100% BPA free MetaCups allows me to feel better about drinking my fresh cup of coffee.
I also received the MetaCups reusable K Carafe K Cup and 2.0 coffee filter gift set. With this incredible MetaCups reusable K Carafe K Cups you can brew up to five mouthwatering cups of coffee simultaneously for Keurig 2.0 machines.
BREW ANY SIZE COFFEE FROM 4-30oz: The reusable K-Carafe 2.0 brews all Carafe sizes: 2-3 cups, 3-4 cups, 4-5 cups (16-30oz) and The reusable K-cup 2.0 brews single cups of coffee from 4-10oz and Travel mug sizes 12-16oz.

When it comes to iconic brands, Coca-Cola is one of the most recognizable in the world. Coca-Cola is not just a drink; it's an experience. And most importantly, it's one that's shared by billions of people around the world.
In a keynote session at Retail's BIG Show, Coca-Cola Refreshments Chief Retail Sales Officer Melvin Landis and Coca-Cola Company Senior Vice President for North America marketing Alison Lewis discussed how the brand is finding new ways to work with retailers that want to "harness a little bit of happiness in their business."
Lewis pointed out that the rules have changed with the always-connected consumer. "We have to first realize that we're in a world where marketers don't own the brand. The market does," Lewis said. So rather than try to control every message, Coca-Cola focuses on creating compelling stories that spread on their own.
Coca-Cola is undeniably brilliant at generating a ripple effect of happy feelings. Just take a look at this new ad celebrating people "crazy enough" to spread kindness, which had thousands of people smiling from ear to ear in the audience on Sunday.
Who wouldn't want a little bit of that happiness? HSNi CEO Mindy Grossman and Joseph Magnacca, president of daily living products and solutions at Walgreens, joined the discussion to share insights into each company's relationship with Coca-Cola. For example, Coca-Cola freestyle machines are a good fit with Walgreens' "At the Corner of Happy and Healthy" campaign, while HSNi sells an exclusive line of Coca-Cola merchandise for fans of the American icon.
Grossman and Magnacca agreed that brands that create experiences for consumers instead of just transactions are those that will thrive in the future, and businesses who share values will find synergies in working together. It's about being generous, Grossman said: give something to your customers aside from what you're selling them, even if just a smile.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. markets closed higher Wednesday with the Standard & Poor's 500 rising for a third consecutive month as fewer U.S. residents filed for unemployment benefits than projected, and a gauge of consumer sentiment showed signs of improved.

- Fewer U.S. residents filed jobless claims last week than expected -- a sign of improvement in the labor market. Jobless claims for the week ending Nov. 23 fell to 316,000 or the lowest in two months. Expectations were for 330,000 claims.
- Consumer sentiment in the U.S. rose more than expected in November to 75.1, according to the University of Michigan. Expectations had been for a result of 73.5 up slightly from 73.2 in October.
Durable-good orders fell in October, reflecting a hit to confidence from the government shutdown. Bookings fell 2% to match expectations after a 4.1% rise in September. Durable-goods orders are a leading indicator of industrial production and capital spending.
Germany's DAX closed 0.66% higher while the FTSE was up 0.20%. The Hang Seng closed up 0.53% while the Nikkei was down 0.42%. Oil was off 1.51% to $92.27.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor Co (005380.KS) said on Friday it would buy back 255 billion won ($228.3 million) worth of common and preferred stocks to stabilize its stock prices and boost investor returns, sending shares of the South Korean automaker up 4 percent.
Hyundai Motor stocks have plunged more than 30 percent this year and U.S. hedge fund Elliott earlier this month renewed pressure on the automaker to return its "excess capital" to shareholders.
In May, Hyundai Motor Group, backed by founding family members, shelved an ownership restructuring plan that would have given the son of its aging chairman more control of the conglomerate, following opposition from Elliott.
Hyundai said in a regulatory filing it would buy back common stocks worth 214 billion won and preferred stocks worth 41 billion won. The buyback is expected to start on Dec. 3 this year and end on Feb. 28, 2019.
Shares of Hyundai Motor affiliates also gained ground, with Kia Motors (000270.KS) up 2.4 percent and Hyundai Mobis (012330.KS) gaining 1.7 percent, while the wider market .KS11 was up 0.2 percent as of 0015 GMT.
