The Aviation cocktail will give you wings. Seriously. I stalked the Aviation cocktail for months before trying it at a local speakeasy. It's got a slight violet hue and it's nothing short of amazing. Half of the ingredients are ordinary, the other half are…say that again?
Aviation Cocktail Ingredients
The Aviation drink is a Prohibition-era martini, consisting of gin, maraschino liqueur (cherry), crème de violette, and fresh lemon juice. Certainly not your typical over-the-counter stock of liquor, but I promise you'll put it to good use.
The more I experiment with cocktails from the 1900's, the more I appreciate the 1900's in general (seriously, hear me out). It's amazing to think that a lot of our favorite cocktails we drink today have stood the rigorous test of time so deliciously.
You probably don't even consciously realize it, but your weekend go-to, be it the Margarita, Gin and Tonic, Cosmopolitan, Old Fashioned, you name it, was probably created by a bartender nearly 100 years ago. These drinks feel mainstream until you really think about the history. But why are some cocktails so popular while others seem like forgotten treasures?
The Aviation is one of those unheard of treasures (very similar to the last word). It's a cocktail you've probably also never heard of, but need to get to know RIGHT now. Up until a year ago, I had never heard of the Aviation. I started to see it in TV shows, online, in restaurants, EVERYWHERE. It's one of those things you don't notice until you actually notice it—and then you see it all over the place.
The Aviation cocktail is smooth, flowery, assertive, yet sweet. Like nothing you've ever tasted—so I honestly don't know what to compare it to. The key ingredient is Luxardo, maraschino liqueur. It adds a very subtle boozy, cherry finish. It's worth picking up because it appears in so many other classic craft cocktails. If you don't believe me, you can read a whole host of cocktails here.
Give the Aviation a shot and see if you sink or soar. It's one of those cocktails, Patty and I can both agree on. I'm whiskey, she's fruity, this one is right down the middle and sure to be a crowd pleaser.Print

Supporting an Overhanging Granite Countertop
As I've designed it so far, the curved piece is 123" long, 24" wide at the widest part of the curve, 8" wide at the ends, and overhangs the sink side of the short wall by 2 inches and the other side by approximately 17 inches at the center. The sink base cabinets on the other side of the wall will, of course, be securely fastened to it and will have the weight of their own granite top to help stiffen the wall and alleviate somewhat the downward torque that the overhang will place on it.
I was thinking along the lines of a couple of beefy angle iron type supports fastened securely (through bolted?) to the wall and then cosmetically hiding the vertical legs of them behind the wainscot panel. Will it fly? (Or perhaps I should ask - will it stay?)
Forum Responses
From contributor E:
I use tube steel all the time for this application. 3/4 x 3/4 will work for such a small overhang and it will replace your sub-top without being noticeable. Just cut different lengths to match your radius and bolt them down to your die wall.
From the original questioner:
Thanks for the replies. Yes, I agree you can have perhaps 10 to 12 inches of granite unsupported off an edge, but I believe that presupposes the major portion of the same slab is supported on the boxes.
In this case, actually about 60% of the overall surface area is unsupported on the curved side, but even then, it would only be about 175-180 lbs, so I think it'll work. I'm even thinking of extending that side a bit to get more knee space (maybe 18") and using a shallower curve.
And I think I know what you mean by tube steel, but to just check: are you referring to square hollow steel stock? I would like something that looks very sleek. Also, do you mean just use straight pieces and bolt them down through their tops into the wall? I like that even better than the angle braces as far as ease and appearance go.
And as for replacing the sub-top, I was never planning to use a sub-top under the granite anywhere in the kitchen. That's the whole point - my client wants a clean, single-piece front edge with no visible glue seam (like you always get on granite build-ups) and no sub-top that would need hiding.
From contributor E:
Yes, you are correct about the tube steel. I would not recommend letting the granite overhang without some support, as it is prone to crack. The slab surely has hairline cracks in it when god made it, and any downward force (leaning on or standing on if you are a painter) will make them worse or cause it to fail. Most granite contractors I have worked with would refuse to take the responsibility.
From contributor M:
Granite is 16-18lbs per sq ft. Like I said earlier, some colors are better than others. I know for a fact that you do not need a sub-top if you use material like Black Absolute or colors with little veining or crystals. As long as the wall is securing most of the weight, you'll be okay. Silicone is very strong once it cures.

Bees are fascinating insects. They come in many different sizes, shapes and colors. Throughout the world, there are about 20,000 species of bees. Most people are afraid of bees and run from them because of their painful stings.
But did you know that if all of the bees in the world were to die today, that within a year there would be the worst famine in history and hundreds of millions of people would die of starvation. Many insects pollinate flowers, but not like bees do. Many farmers have bee hives near their fields to insure their crops get pollinated. Without the bees nearby, many crops would fail or not produce nearly as much as they do with bees.
Some plants rely entirely on bees to pollinate them. For one reason or another, very few other insects pollinate some of these flowers. Without bees, a number of plants would soon become extinct.
And this is why they pose a problem for evolution.
According to most evolutionists, flowers evolved about 200 million years ago and bees evolved only 100 million years ago. So how did all of the evolving plants get pollinated for the first 100 million years without bees?
Evolutionists suggest that perhaps other animals or insects may have pollinated the flowers during this time, but that presents another problem. According to them, mammals were barely starting to evolve from reptiles about that time and birds didn't come along for at least another 50 million years. The insects that had evolved were often too big to fit inside a flower to pollinate it, such as dragonflies with 3 foot wingspans.
The difference of 100 million years is a huge problem for evolutionists and they know it, but they continue to create stories to try to hide the problem of no bees.
The Bible also teaches that flowers existed before bees, but it wasn't 100 million years earlier. In Genesis 1:11-13 it says that God created plants on Day 3 of Creation:
And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

The Versatile Bomber Jacket
Bomber jackets are most commonly associated with being weekend attire (aka casual), but they don't have to be! It is all about finding the right garments to pair it with.
This look is for our professional women wanting to bring a little color into the office. We paired this jacket with a black pencil skirt - a staple in all women's closets. We also chose to continue the punch of color with this fabulous little orange scalloped edge cami. This orange silk top paired with a high-waisted skirt makes a nice mixture of sensuality and sophistication, which is great for a workplace setting.
Sometimes when the sun refuses to peek out from behind the clouds, you don't really feel like putting much effort into getting ready and this is when you really need the pops of color in your life to make you just a little happier!
We paired our perfect little bomber jacket with the little scalloped edge cami and white denim for that perfect get-out-of-your-slump outfit. The right pair of jeans never fails to make you feel like the best version of yourself and white denim makes every outfit seem dressier and more effortless.
Here is a great little hot-weather outfit with our perfect little bomber jacket. We decided to put it with some ripped shorts for a little edgier look. What a great piece to have with you when traveling or for those cool summer evenings!! We recommend pairing it with solid colors. The options are endless of how many ways you can wear it!!
Combining simple staple pieces with some special items is one of our favorite things to do. It is so simple yet often overlooked! Plus as an added benefit, it makes your look a bit more personal because you are making the focus on the accessories. When putting this look together we instantly thought this outfit would be perfect for a concert or a GNO. Comfortable and chic!

Make A Joyful Noise
For the past few weeks, Holy Spirit has been highlighting one verse to me, "make a joyful noise unto the Lord…". I am one who has an issue with complaining when things don't go exactly how I plan them to be (I am sure none of you can relate-sarcasm-hahahahahaha). I set out to really work at enjoying my life a few weeks ago due to circumstances happening around me. As soon as I made this decision with my full heart, I started to see that verse in many places. When I asked Holy Spirit what to write about He showed me the verse again. Let us all look at the full Psalm together. Continue reading

A Celebration through Photos
Our team had a wonderful month in East Africa, and there were too many special moments not to share a few more pictures. Our time began with some of our most experienced team members from the U.S. investing into our team of cooperatives and bible students from across East Africa, and led into an Immersion trip where new members of our team gained valuable experience serving at our hub. Our work in East Africa continues, as we have a highly invested team of Africans implementing our vision and mission daily. But these times we get to spend with them are definitely extra special to us all. The following is a photo-story of highlights from our time. Thank you so much for praying for us through it!
Students and staff from across East Africa gathered for our first "G.O.D. East Africa Summit" at the onset of December. This conference was a really special time where we helped everyone better understand the mission and vision of our organization.
Gregg Garner kept the summit alert and engaged as he taught from the Bible and gave many insightful looks into the past, present and future of our work in East Africa. It was a wonderful time.
After the summit, our focus shifted to our hub in Uganda. This shows the present condition of the main road in the area where we work.
One of the goals of the trip was to find more ways for our cooperatives to sustain themselves in their local area. As you can see, the development of the town and availability of marketable items is currently suffering.
In Uganda, there are children everywhere. It's overwhelming at times. Our property borders a primary school with more than 350 students, and there are even more who have sadly dropped out of school. The area is quite desperate, but we are trying our best to invest in the school and in alternative options to keep kids safe, healthy, and educated.
Our team was able to sit in on the final projects and lectures of the Institute for G.O.D. East Africa semester. The students worked on a group project that prioritized what's needed to bring true development to their community over the next 5 years.
Our team spent time with students from the Institute for G.O.D. EA, reflecting on their semester. The students were encouraged that many of the students in the U.S. had similar journeys to their own in adapting to a life of vocation.
Seth Davis, Director of Agriculture, and Zach Hartnell (not pictured), took our EA Agriculture Team to a specialized conference in Kenya. The team learned how to organically fight pests on their crops--a major problem they've been facing in recent months. The team grew in friendship. This was taken before they left, with several new pairs of work clothes in their hands.
Reuben Ndwiga (center) is our Director of Agriculture in East Africa. After transforming his own land in Kenya, and instructing dozens of neighbors how to do the same, he is now moving to Uganda to head up the food production efforts at our hub. We are so thankful for him!
We were so grateful that Gregg Garner was able to accompany our team to East Africa. He brings insight and direction that propels our efforts forward, and is an indispensable part of our work in East Africa! Our friends in Africa tell us he HAS to come back often.
Cameron Kagay, Director of G.O.D. East Africa, shows the headmaster at St. John's Primary a video of our biointensive gardening methods in Tennessee. He was so interested, and very excited to start a school garden at St. John's.
Our team was able to have a conference with the teachers at the St. John's, explaining to them more about our organization. Their familiarity with us and our alternative paradigm is necessary for smooth cooperation.
At a special ceremony, Cameron Kagay delivered the 2016 G.O.D. Calendars to our cooperatives, thanking them for their necessary service with our organization. Small moments like this can be very meaningful for our cooperatives.
Ten students from the Institute for G.O.D. took part in an Immersion trip this December. As newer members of the East Africa team, this trip gave them avenues to serve at our Ugandan hub. Here, Nick Moore and Henry Miiro teach the children at St. John's a health care lesson. Both men study at the Institute in their respective countries, and have chosen health care as their focus.
Likewise, Christina (Fowler) James and Josephine teach adolescent girls about female health. These concerns often go unspoken in East Africa, leading many girls to remain ignorant of the changes that will occur to their body, and for what purpose. Menstruation is a major reason girls miss school (as they often lack necessary supplies), and failure to understand reproductive health is linked to an epidemic in teenage pregnancy in Uganda.
The immersion team visited local widows, as there are many in the area. As many of them are recipients of our "rocket stoves," the team checked on how they were working, whether or not they had any questions regarding use, and repaired them if needed. This kind of follow-up is necessary in introducing any new technology in the third world.
Rachel Webb taught afternoon bible classes for the children of our cooperatives, while parents sat in if they were able. This was a response to an urgent request from parents to learn how to translate biblical truths into concepts that children could understand. It went great!
The men on the team were busy with a wide variety of projects that will help our land to become a safe and hospitable environment. Here, Ben Young creates a stone pathway for walking around the land so that far less mud is tracked inside of homes, a major problem in the rainy seasons.
Matt James and an Institute for G.O.D. EA student take a break from working. The friendships formed between our team in the US and in Uganda is undeniable. It is specifically these relationships that are motivating in thinking through solutions for the third world.
The immersion team visited Bwaise slum, the largest slum in Kampala and sadly, a major landmark for the red-light district in the city. While we don't regularly work in Bwaise, we have relationships there. We try to give advice on how their situation can change--namely, by getting out. But the lure of the city remains strong. This was an impactful thing for the team to see as it epitomizes what's wrong in Uganda.
Christina James and Nick Moore volunteered at St. Katherine's, a local hospital where they were able to give bedside care and triage to patients like these. Health care is an overwhelming need in East Africa, and we are happy to have Christina and Nick join our team to help.
Laura Young made a special friendship with a local tailor, Justine. Together they created prototypes for new school uniforms for the children at St. John's. While cotton is one of Uganda's biggest crops, the market is suffering due to cheap imports from China. Encouraging a local market is part of our aim, and that includes supporting tailors like Justine.
Children in Uganda were out of school during most of our time there due to presidential elections. While most kids have nothing to do, we provided a lot of opportunities to the children on our land including tutoring, music, bible class, sport matches and this special experience--their very own dance class! The team performed in a special showcase for their parents at the end of the course.
In the afternoons, our team offered tutoring to the kids in the area. Quinn, one of the children we sponsor through school, received Chemistry tutoring from Kara Hadley, a student at the Institute for G.O.D. in Tennessee. Quinn is an extremely bright girl whom we've been assisting through her life struggle with sickle-cell anemia.
This winter was a wonderful moment in our ongoing story in East Africa. There are so many things to celebrate and so much more to do. Please pray with us for our work in this area.

Ok first of all, I want you to know that this post is about how I do NOT have it all together!
Paper clutter is my nemesis. I hate it and I truly think one day it'll swallow me whole.
It's truly overwhelming how much paper is piled up every afternoon after our five school-aged kids empty their backpacks from school that day.
Art projects, field trip forms, graded homework, birthday invitations, and scraps of papers with phone numbers scratched upon them for proposed playdates litter our kitchen.
And then the mail comes.
And every time Val, our sweet mail-lady hands me another stack of envelopes full of bills, invoices, coupons, and such... I have half a mind to just hand it back and tell her I don't want it.
So my countertop ends up looking like this photo. Bleh.
Who's with me? Are you overwhelmed by it?!
Here are a few things that I do. But though I'm trying...it's SUCH a battle. And if I were honest, it's a battle I'm losing.
I just started using this glass box for our bills. I realize it's a bit unconventional, but I needed something that was out and visible. Something where I could see the bills, and not forget about them. I've had bad luck placing them in a file folder or little bin on my desk. Nothing like paying extra for a late bill. Um, not that I've ever done that.
But with this, I'm grouping them according to being paid on the 1st or 15th and paper clipping those groups together. I can see that I have bills to pay, but they're contained and (almost) pretty.
I made this command center a few years ago. On it, I pin our kids' latest awards, monthly preschool calendar, field trip forms, party invitations, sweet notes the kids have written, and photos of the children we sponsor in Ethiopia.
It's often more cluttered than I'd prefer. But it's functional. It works for us.
Upstairs in my office I have a cabinet with files full of things like report cards and shots records. Things I don't necessarily get into regularly, but is easily accessible.
But I also use this vintage dish rack (from Goodwill) for files I use day-to-day.
Here in our new house, I am lucky enough to have a desk here in the kitchen as well as one in my office. Coupons are placed here, along with daily type folders.
Honestly, I just bought these folders a few days ago so I'm not entirely moved in yet. But this is the desk where mail is piled, so I need this space to be incredibly functional. Sigh. But exactly how to do it, I'm just not sure.
So tell me...
How do you control your clutter?!
PLEASE tell me what you do to stay organized and find things you need when you need it!
What's your bill-paying system? Where do you put all those papers for your retirement, kids college savings funds, and tax items? What do you keep, what do you toss??
Where do you just, you know...put it all?!

What do European Socialism, the Hitler Youth and "data mining" have in common?
They are all derogatory terms used by opponents during a heated Board of Education meeting to hammer out a set of education standards being implemented by Florida education officials.
The implementation of the standards, set to be complete by the 2014-15 school year, has sparked outrage from many conservatives who say they represent federal intrusion into state education. They are commonly referred to nationally as Common Core, and have been implemented by 45 states and the District of Columbia.
The board changed the title to "Florida Standards" in an effort to scrub any appearance that they are nationally driven.
Another part of that effort was a vote taken at Tuesday's meeting to approve nearly 100 tweaks to the standard's curriculum. Among the changes are including calculus and cursive writing, which was set to be cut.
Those changes, approved on a unanimous vote, did not appease opponents.
"I'm a mom who is frustrated about anything to do with Common Core," said Meredith Mears, who was representing Florida Parents Against Common Core.
She was one of more than 50 people who took the podium, nearly all of whom were in opposition to the standards. Many took visibly contentious stands with the board, with some chiding the new standards as an attempted socialist takeover of public education.
"Many leading educators across the county have stated these standards were not properly vetted … and possibly illegal," said David Norman, a speaker who threatened "legal action."
There were tense moments during the more than two-hour hearing, as board chairman Gary Chartrand, a Jacksonville businessman, threatened to shut down public comment after several outbursts. It's not uncommon during public meetings for a board or commission to request no clapping. Still, several speakers blasted the request, and there were shouts of "God Bless America" from the crowd.
Board members and Education Commissioner Pam Stewart said they were also concerned about federal overreach, but were happy with the standard's name change and the tweaks to the curriculum.
They are "Florida standards that were developed by Floridians," said Andy Tuck, the board's newest member.
The issue has been a political hot potato for many Republicans. The standards are strongly supported by former Republican Gov. Jeb Bush, and had the early support of Gov. Rick Scott.
Scott toned down his support after backlash began to grow from some conservative groups. He removed Florida as fiscal agent for a national consortium that's creating assessments to test students on Common Core curriculum.
He also ordered hearings across the state so people - mostly opponents - could give input. Many speakers at those meetings expressed anger similar to that shown during the board meeting.

Mark has been asking what I want for Christmas for ages now. I have no idea. I never do. I want everything and nothing all at the same time. Is anyone else like that? I moan about stuff I would like all year then when Christmas actually comes around I have no clue.
I need some new boots. Mine are all worn and should be after 3/4 years! I hate buying footwear for myself. I just hate spending a lot of money of them without knowing they will last. As long as they will last me a few years I'm fine with paying out for them, if not I'll make do with a cheap £15 pair but I want some decent winter boots. Possibly knee length to tuck my jeans into them but they have to be practical as 99% of the time I'm either pushing Paige in her pram or running around after her. As much as I love high heels they aren't too practical with a toddler. Rieker at Shoetique have some lovely flats and also some low heels which could work and look quite comfy.
I'm such a sucker for comfort now a days. I'd take a pair of yoga pants and some pumps over a little black dress and heels any day but it wasn't always like that. I used to enter beauty pageants! Yes, I do still love getting dressed up but it doesn't happen very often and I'm ok with that. I'll save my fancy clothes and shoes for when Paige is a little older and wants to play dress up!
Has your style changed since becoming a parent?
Thanks for reading,

Oil demand lift from icy weather not a sure thing
Shouldn't a cold Northern Hemisphere winter give oil demand, struggling to recover from recessionary doldrums, a huge lift? Maybe not.
Bob Tippee
Shouldn't a cold Northern Hemisphere winter give oil demand, struggling to recover from recessionary doldrums, a huge lift? Maybe not.
Yes, heating oil users have been burning more of the fuel than they would have in warmer weather. But the effect on total demand is muted.
The International Energy Agency's Oil Market Report for February points out that heating oil consumption patterns are changing in the developed nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
"The share of oil for heating and power generation in the OECD has been shrinking uninterruptedly over the past decade," IEA explains. "Other energy sources, notably natural gas, renewables, and nuclear power, are becoming the fuels of choice for both purposes, displacing both distillate and residual fuel oil."
In the cold first quarter of last year, heating oil represented 9% of total OECD oil demand, IEA points out. In the early 1990s, the share was 15%. In the past 15 years, OECD first-quarter heating oil demand has fallen by a third.
"Even if first-quarter 2010 proves to be as cold as first-quarter 2009," IEA says, "the heating oil surge—and the concomitant fall in distillate stocks—predicted by many observers is unlikely to materialize."
A distillate drawdown would lower oil in inventory from unusually high levels, easing a downward force on oil prices.
IEA projects average OECD heating oil demand of 3.7 million b/d in the first quarter this year, 13% below the first quarter of 2009.
In its assessment of the trend underlying this outlook, IEA is not alone.
The Centre for Global Energy Studies, London, in a Feb. 3 report notes difficulties in isolating demand boosted by icy December and February from effects of the global recession. It sees early indications of a weather-related demand bump.
Overall, however, oil demand is becoming "less seasonal by the year," CGES says.
"Indeed, these days the hurricane season in the western Atlantic can have a more pronounced effect on oil prices than a cold winter as a result of storm-induced damage to the extensive oil and gas infrastructure in the US Gulf of Mexico."

Facebook has taken over my blogging, but I need not to let it take over my online journal aka blog.
Little Elijah is 5months old as of tomorrow. Ellie is 2yrs 3 months. Elijah is doing very well. He had a rough start because he was tongue tied and it was hard for him to nurse and even bottle feed, though he maybe got all of 2 bottles offered those first 6wks. Now all he wants to do is nurse, he refuses bottles all together. That's my boy, but it can get a little frustrating when I want a little time to myself. He wakes up every 2-3hrs still to eat at night. Blah, I want some sleep. He is so smart and very strong and has a temper. When I put him in his carseat he gets so mad that he stand up, yep, he stands up in it. When I change his diaper he doesn't do like Ellie did and just lay there relatively content, he rolls and pulls himself up. He makes it a very difficult task. Yesterday before we left for church I had Ellie put her little toys up a little doctor's kit that has a lid then put the box infront of the TV. When we got home from church I gave the kids a bath then let the watch a little video while I did dishes. I put Elijah down in the middle of the floor, about 3ft away from this box. He made his way to the box and toppled it over so he could play with the toys inside. He remembered toys were in there, figured out to go there, and he didn't even see the toys. I loved seeing him accomplish what he wanted to do. He is so different from Ellie. We never had to baby/child proof the house with her, but with him, I can already tell it will be different. He chews on everything he can get to, and he has been getting to everything for about 2wks now. It really is crazy.
Ellie is doing really well. She is a very good big sister. She's ready to be potty trained. I get her up from nap and her diaper is off and the bed is dry. She tells me when she has to go "stinky" so it'll be any day now, I know. She will repeat a lot after us. She repeats Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Act, and Romans. She "sings" a lot. Her favorite songs are Jesus Loves Me, Old McDondald, any other kiddie songs. She does some of the signs for Jesus Loves Me. I've started showing her a Your Baby Can Read DVD and it has really helped her vocabulary a lot. Her favorite color is blue. She has a Little Einstein toy that if she presses the red it says "red" same for yellow and blue. If she presses the yellow and blue at the same time it says "green" blue and red, it says "purple" and red and yellow it says "orange." When I ask her what her favorite color is she runs to get it and always presses the blue. Which leads me to her favorite past time activity, is coloring. She LOVES to color. She also loves to sort things. I took her to a gymnastic center and sure she played some, but she also took the foam blocks and lined them up. She also took the frisbies and one by one laid them out and then picked them up. Early intervention tested her because we applied for some help ih her CF related bills. They said that she is like a 3yr old or almost 3yr old in every area, except for speach which she just doesn't annunciate well enough. She says a lot we have no idea what she is saying. We all know she's very smart and she LOVES people. She seldom meets a stranger and loves playing with other kids. It's really cute watching her.
Simon has a new position with his job, making more money and home more which includes weekends which has been fun for us. I'm doing well. I wish I could keep my freakin house clean though. The living room doubles as a play room and it's small so it doesn't take much for it to look very messy. It's also the office. The kitchen doubles as a laundry room since that is where the washer and dryer is. If I really could get it all clean I would put laundry away as soon as it finished because there's no room to procrassinate. The counters are the pantry, because we really don't have much cabinet space. Ugh, I think we're outgrowing this house.
I'm sure there is more that I can talk about but if I'm going to blog more then I better leave some stuff for later. I know every single day I'm calling my mom or husband saying "guess what ____ did." It used to always be Ellie doing and saying stuff, but now Elijah is starting to do more that warrants phone calls.

The Tale of the
Page Not Found
It was a dark and stormy night. You were driving down highway 404 when a lost and rain-soaked webpage flagged you down and asked for a ride home. As a kind user, you obliged. There was something sad and beautiful about this page, but you didn't think much of it at the time. You drove the page to a browser window and dropped it off where it politely thanked you for the ride. After you went home, you realized the page had left its sweater on your passenger seat. The next morning, you revisited the browser history to return the sweater, but when you knocked on the door, an error message answered. It cried when you handed over the sweater.
"Where did you get this?" it asked you. You explained the drive from the night before, but the error message shook its head.
"That can't be!" it said.
Try searching?

Protein Bars. So many options, so many mysterious ingredients.
Flip over the back of the next protein bar you're about to eat. Are you able to identify every single ingredient listed? Probably not, because most of the ingredients listed sound more like a scientific table of elements.
That's why I eat protein bars that are all-natural and vegan. Go Macro makes a peanut butter protein replenishment bar with 12 grams of protein that I eat every day as a mid-afternoon snack. It is an explosion of flavor and will keep you full throughout the day until your next meal. Their newest line of bars, Thrive, have also quickly become a favorite of mine. The chocolate, nuts and sea salt bar is both sweet and savory, containing plant based protein and a variety of super foods to keep you fueled throughout the day.
The products from Go Macro are easily digestible unlike many other bars that weigh heavily on your stomach. I always encourage my community to eat as clean as possible. If you are putting in the hard work at the gym, you also want to compliment the workouts with a healthy, clean diet to receive the full benefits of staying fit. I like to say that your body is your temple, don't pollute it with foreign, processed ingredients.
You can browse the Go Macro Thrive bars here and the protein replenishment bars here. Cheers to clean eating!

One Lucky Muskie Freak...
Travis Frank
"I'd rather be lucky than good," was all Tim had to say after his last antics on the water. Friday evening he and I snuck out on the water for a couple of hours of fishing before the sun set on our day. A perfect way to end the work week we figured. When we left the dock I was prodding Tim with thoughts of continuing his hot streak. The lucky walleye/bass guy has a batting average hovering around 1,000% when we muskie fish together. We may only muskie fish together a couple of times a year, but he always gets 'em. He laughs about it and chalks it up to the guide, but there almost has to be something more behind it. He literally catches every single fish that tries to eat his bait, and for that, I have to tip my hat. You know the saying, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." Well, I guess this horse drinks every single time, and I love it!
I've been toying around with a rather new bait, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. After a brief explanation and demonstration of the lure in the water, Tim mastered the art. I explained that about 70 percent of the action will occur at boatside with this new thing, but he laughed and said he wanted it to happen out where he couldn't see the fish to mess it up. About 20 minutes into our outing his exact desires became a reality. A monster fish devoured his bait several yards from the boat, and the battle was on. A fish that rocked him from the depths showed her massive face and soon found the net. This beast of a muskie got him in the 50 inch club and kept his unbelievable streak alive. All I could do was laugh and give him a high five. What else can a guy do? His perception of muskie fishing obviously must be skewed by the non-human like results that he has had the last 3 seasons that we have muskie fished together. I tipped my hat once again, and could do nothing but laugh at his success.
While he has had some incredible luck, the last two times out he has put a curse on me. He laughs at what he calls my "rookie mistakes," because I keep losing fish by doing the exact opposite of what I tell him to do. Haha! That's muskie fishing I guess, but I am really starting to wonder what is happening to me. I've lost some dandy muskies that I battled for a bit, and his joking attitude doesn't let me forget anything that I have done wrong. I guess that's why I love this sport so much, but more impostantly why I enjoy fishing with him. Our evening ended with Tim entering the 50 inch club, and myself losing one of the 10 other muskies that attempted my bait. We saw a giant of a fish that we have named Brutus, and solved a few of the world's problems during out short trip. Just another perfect way to spend an evening if you are the luckiest muskie freak on the water. Great night and a great fish! Until next time, Keep on Livin' the dream!

A confident Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary Alex Azar told reporters Thursday afternoon that the federal government will reunite migrant families it had separated by court-mandated deadlines — but just several hours later, lawyers with the Department of Justice (DOJ) contradicted Azar, asking the judge to extend the deadline.
A California federal court told the Trump administration last week to reunite children under five within 14 days, meaning by next Tuesday, and to reunite all others within 30 days. The judge also told officials to make sure parents can contact their kids within 10 days if they haven't already been able to find them.
This was a tall order, but Azar said officials were working expeditiously and could meet the court-mandated deadlines. He said this even after admitting that they were still verifying which of the 11,800 migrant minors in its custody were separated from their parents at the southwest border as part of the administration's "zero tolerance" policy of criminally prosecuting asylum-seeking parents. Azar was able to provide a ballpark figure, saying under 3,000 kids were rendered "unaccompanied" due to this policy and approximately 101 of those children were under the age of five.
"We will comply with the artificial deadlines created by the court, deadlines that were not informed by the process needed to vet parents, including confirming parentage, as well as confirming the suitability of placement with that parent," Azar told reporters Thursday.
In filing submitted to U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw just before midnight Thursday Pacific Time, Trump officials sought clarification, asking which families it needs to reunify to comply with court order. The government asked whether the deadline applies to parents who've already been deported, arguing that this is an especially difficult task. The Justice Department lawyers also asked the court to clarify the start date for separations, as some families were separated before the official start date of the "zero tolerance" policy in May 2018.
The process of verifying which child belongs to which parent is time-consuming, as officials were not properly documenting this information in case files:
So now, the department is playing catch up, as HHS grantees are "swabbing the cheeks of the children" in its custody while Department of Homeland (DHS) and some HHS personnel are in ICE detention swabbing the cheeks of parents, looking to make a DNA match. This costly process, devised to protect children from being placed in the hands of potential human traffickers, takes no less than a week, lawyers said. Meanwhile, immigration advocates have voiced concerns about the lack of consent on the part of children and about what the government may do with such sensitive human data.
The Trump administration is also "observing communications or interactions" between families to confirm a relationship. They claimed that this is done for the kid's safety, citing a few outlier cases in which parents posed a danger to kids.
Officials asked for a deadline that takes these factors into consideration, but provided no specific suggested date.
"Given the possibility of false claims of parentage, confirming parentage is critical to ensure that children are returned to their parents, not to potential traffickers," DOJ lawyers wrote in the court filing. "The Government…seeks clarification that in cases where parentage cannot be confirmed quickly, HHS will not be in violation of the Court's order if reunification occurs outside of the timelines provided by the Court."
Government lawyers also informed the judge that when they reunite kids with parents who are in ICE custody undergoing immigration court, they'll do so by detaining the families together. That's how they'll comply with last week's injunction against a family separation case, Ms. L v. ICE.
"To comply with the Ms. L injunction, the government will not separate families but detain families together during the pendency of immigration proceedings when they are apprehended at or between ports of entry and therefore subject to the Ms. L injunction," the DOJ lawyers wrote an older document attached to the new filing.
It's unclear whether that'll satisfy the judge's order, as indefinite family detention violates another court order, Flores v. Reno or the "Flores settlement", that states "accompanied" children must be detained in the least restrictive settings and for no longer than 20 days. Azar told reporters on Thursday that no child has been sent to any ICE facility, but that last week's injunction forces officials to do this.
The judge is scheduled to hold a telephone hearing at noon Pacific Time on Friday.
This is a developing story and will be updated as new information becomes available.

Video Photos Layout Brochure
Narrow Waters – 58′ Reverse style cruiser 2015 is a 'go anywhere' cruiser stern narrowboat. She was built by Pendle Narrowboats on a Bridgeman Hull in 2015 and feels modern and stylish. Her livery is very unusual and apt for both the World Cup and Brexit year – the Union Flag is emblazoned on both sides and the front doors, and the pram hood and cratch cover are the Union colours also.
She is a very social boat; the large stern deck seats 5 comfortably around the table, there are 3 double berths and two toilets. A real party boat!
The stern deck leads past two floor to ceiling cupboards into the galley, housing the unused double oven, washing machine, 230v fridge (with icebox) and ample storage space.
The dinette (with side hatch) follows. This has storage under and turns into a double berth, as does the large couch in the saloon. The water tank is under this couch.
The walk through shower room is next. The glass mosaic-tiled quadrant shower is opposite the circular ceramic basin and Thetford cassette loo, and the two towel rails will keep this room toasty in the winter!
A short corridor on the port side leads into another toilet room with cassette loo and another ceramic basin.
The main bedroom is in the bows; the bed is a cross bed with storage under and sits next to a huge double wardrobe. The doors lead onto the well deck.
She is centrally heated by under floor heating as well as the radiators and towel rails. Hot water is provided by the Webasto, engine or immersion. Lighting is all LED (including under-gunwale mood lighting thoughout), and on board power is from either landline or the 2kw inverter. Wiring is in place for solar panels, there is a TV point in the saloon cupboard with Sky cable, there is a docking station built in for music and there is a 4G aerial & router.
She is propelled by the recently serviced Canaline 42 (with only 604 hours on the clock).
A striking head-turner of a boat, she is ready to go and would make a lovely home or holiday boat.

This past fall I had the good fortune of being assigned to photograph Police Officer, Rob Capezio just outside of Pittsburgh, PA for Men's Fitness Magazine. Men's Fitness has a success story in each month's print edition and Rob was chosen for the work he did to transform a bare bones gym at his department headquarters into a well-equipped training space for himself and his fellow officers.
I was hired to photograph Rob working out in a variety of scenarios with his fellow officers as well as to make a few portraits of him. My assistant and I started the day by grabbing a few shots of Rob running outside before moving into the gym. Once in the gym, we prioritized getting shots of Rob working out with fellow officers. Both Rob and his fellow officers were very gracious with their time on their day off of work and were happy to help me get the shots we needed. The gym is well-equipped but fairly small and covered on one side with mirrors. While the mirrors are great when you're working out they are problematic when shooting and lighting a space. This limited me to only a few angles and I chose a shot that had a bit of depth to it for the group shot.
Once we had the shots we needed of Rob with his fellow officers we moved on to focusing on shots of just Rob. Since we were shooting for a fitness magazine it was important to highlight Rob's physique. Rob has some wicked looking arms so we thought photographing him doing some dips would give him the arm definition we were looking for. For this shot, I wanted the image to be focused solely on him so I didn't mind shooting against a plain white wall. I used two softboxes slightly behind and on either side of him to add definition and used a 36-inch Octabox with a grid attached to light in his front.
After we had the shots we needed for the story we spent some time experimenting and grabbing a couple extra options which you can see below along with tear sheets from the January/February issue of Men's Fitness.

I Want To Make Stuff/
I'm kind of obsessed with the idea of repurposing clothing, particularly T-shirts. I say obsessed with the IDEA because I don't actually ever DO any of this said repurposing. But that's about to change. We got this book. And we like to look at the pretty pictures. And as soon as I locate a sewing machine, Bella and I all will be all over this!
Until then, I give you...my friend Christine. She is hilarious. And she's crafty. Check out this short and sweet video, where she combines all of her superhero skills to make a rad t-shirt.

Bone Densitometry
The bone densitometry test is like an x-ray that quickly and accurately measures the density of bone. It is used primarily to detect osteopenia or osteoporosis, which is a disease that causes bones to become more fragile and are more likely to break. A bone density test enhances the accuracy of calculating your risk of breaking bones.

Striving, Not Starving.
It is curious that the Renissance movement spanned the 14th to 17th Century and yet the origin of the "The Starving Artist" came from the 18th - 19th centuries.
Why has our culture embraced this belief? That to pursue the arts is to pursue poverty?
The trades, the academics, the athletics, and the arts. Why cannot they exist together in possible lifestyles and work to pursue?
All of these things are what make our society move, breathe and evolve. Without one we are unbalanced.
Why do graduated artists from various art forms decide to stick to a nine to five when their heart beats for something else? Why do so many say " it's a nice hobby" when a writer says they are going to write?
One hears:
"How will you pay for bills if something goes wrong?"
"At least you can always go back to the other career if this doesn't work out."
"It's a nice thing to do on the side."
All of these things stem from the belief that to pursue art means to pursue a lack of provision.
In the Renaissance, artists were as nesseccary as tradesmen. They studied and lived the same. They were respected as a person who is pursing a higher calling. They were hired and used within the community. They were not always successful or wealthily, but they pursued their work, without the stigma of 'poor'. They pursued their passion without the belief that it was 'a cute hobby on the side.'
Yes, I have less money now as a storyteller than when I worked as an Interpreter. It is also true that I am happier now than I was then. There is a moment of walking into your passions and you realize that provision for work and living happens as you walk in faith.
I am striving to find the stories that need telling and I will tell them with a passion that surpasses anything I did before.
This striving, has led me to taste the luxiourious real-tastes of a dinner shared with others while truly being present. This striving has led me to the true enjoyment of the ability to study and learn when the funds are provided. This striving to live and tell the truth has fulfilled me with a whole new outlook and it this that has fills my pockets.
Somehow when you strive for more than 'satisfied' you end up with an overflowing. Tight moments become moments of adventure, and when you see provision you know that you are truly pursuing that higher calling on your life.
So just a note.
I have not starved yet. In fact, I eat more.
I am striving, in fact, I may have more passion now than ever before.
I am thriving.

It all started back in middle school when I was in the 8th grade. I noticed a change in myself. I knew the feeling of depression but had no idea what anxiety was then. Reflecting back I realized I showed signs of anxiety. This is why I always felt uncomfortable.
There were times when I tried to explain to my mom how uncomfortable I felt in the school classrooms. She thought I was talking nonsense. I wish she would've taken me more seriously back then. Maybe I would've found out earlier that I had anxiety. Sometimes she still acts funny when I talk about what I go through with anxiety.
Later on, when I started blogging that's when I discovered what anxiety was all about. Most people in the blogging world suffer from anxiety and depression. I could relate to them because they been through the same experiences as me. There was a sense of relief to know everything I experience was real and I wasn't crazy.
As a matter of fact, there are nights that I can't go to bed without my thoughts running me crazy! Sometimes I wake up feeling scared with my heart beating fast. This is some signs of anxiety. I'm glad that I discovered that I have anxiety because I would still be confused to why "weird" things happen or bother me. Also, because it solved unanswered questions. I'm glad to know there are other people out here that are just like me. I don't feel so alone anymore talking about anxiety.
