I just want to read. I don't want to think. I don't want to write. I only want to read. Let the pages turn, like Metallica's Lars Ulrich sings. I don't want to do anything else. I'm under too much pressure. I only want to read, in a comfy bed I've made. Sheets that are cozy flannel. A duvet that is heavy with blankets on top. Just let me be warm and content. I'd go outside, if it was twenty-five degrees. But now it's winter. I'll stay in my nest. I won't fall asleep. The book has me enthralled. I'll stay here with my pillows, all twelve of them. I will read to escape. A book that doesn't make me wonder. Just words that mean what they mean. And are a hide away. It's good to have something greater in the big picture. But in the book I read, I want to drift away. Love and Sex. A Mysterious Horror. Blood and Broken Hearts. Action and Sexyiness. Affection and Friendship. No Tears please. Take me away. Let me read. Let the time spin by. I'm in my bed. I'm reading each word with greed. Catch me another day. Today, I'm reading. Today I'm carefree.

Got to be a kid for a day at Acer Day Grand Ballpit PartyAugust 15, 2017
Acer launched "Acer Day" which was celebrated worldwide last August 3. In keeping with the theme of "Be Cool Everyday", Acer here in the Philippines transformed Glorietta Activity Center into one giant ball pit for a full day!
That is SO COOL. And trust me, playing in there was the best part.
"Acer Day was conceptualized to continually refresh and breathe new life into the brand, as well as to boost the public's awareness and knowledge about Acer products," shares Sue Ong-Lim, Sales and Marketing Director of Acer Philippines. "This year's celebration is the first of many to come, and consumers can trust that it will only get better from here."
The games in there were INSANE. There was a giant inflatable slide, "ball Volleyball", and a place where you can plunge your friend in a pit full of balls. In fact, for me it was pretty adrenaline pumping and yet calming as I got to drown all my sorrows in BALLS. Hahaha kidding aside, I thinke everyone who was there will tell you it was so much fun to feel like a kid once again.
The Glorietta Activity Center also served as the backdrop for various energetic performances by Basti Artadi and Kjwan, the UP Pep Squad and lively sets from famed DJs Euric and Nina.
|UP Pep Squad keeping things COOL for Acer Day
|Kjwan playing for the peeps at Glorietta Activity Center <3 <3 <3
Acer Day is the world's leading computer brand's first transnational and largest annual brand day event, which kicked off in 14 countries worldwide.
Did you know that Acer Day's stupendous opening date was particularly decided for an extraordinary reason, in that "eight-third" (Aug. 3) sounds like "Acer". Following this run, each August third later on will be Acer's image day, where crisp brand exercises and occasions will be acquainted with shoppers.
This year's theme of "Be Cool Everyday" is actually based and centered on Acer's AeroBlade™ 3D fan. Said AeroBlade™ technology enables the use of the world's thinnest metal fan blade, providing advanced aerodynamics and airflow performance to keep the system at a low temperature.
The "Acer Day" event website officially kicked off on July 21 and will stay live until October 3. Consumers can log in with social media accounts to participate in a total of 11 daily challenges, including memory puzzles, friend sharing games, and other fun challenges, to earn "Cool Points". These Cool Points may then be exchanged for raffle tickets. Prizes include five (5) Acer Swift 7, one (1) Acer Spin 1, and three (3) Predator Helios 300, which will be drawn on October 11. \
More treats and exclusive deals will also be available for purchases made during Acer Day – check out the event website at www.acer-day.com/ph and the Acer Philippines Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/AcerPH for more information.

Lavshuca Dramatic Memory Rouge RS-2 and RS-3. All pictures taken in natural light without flash.
I'm also thrilled that these 2 colors I found are actually "colors" and not just another nude or my-lips-but-better that are quite common among Japanese lipsticks. Don't get me wrong, it's these nudes and my-lips-but-betters that make these lipsticks super wearable. But sometimes, I just want some color and that search can get frustrating because, well, they all look the same. Within the past year though, I've been seeing a trend for colorful and pigmented lipsticks in Japanese drugstore brands like Visee, so let's hope they keep this up and not revert to the safety zone.
- RS-2: a reddish rose that's pigmented but is not quite opaque, which means I can sheer it out a bit to my desired intensity. It does have some very fine shimmers that don't show at all.
- RS-3: a much cooler, and much more translucent pink. Despite the translucency, this color turns even brighter on my lips and I get more of a fresh carnation pink. It also has shimmers that don't show.
See my previous Lavshuca Dramatic Memory Rouge post.

Letters to the Editor
'News free of slant'
If anyone was in doubt about the media leaning right, all they had to do was watch C-SPAN coverage of the Valerie Plame Wilson testimony. We learned that the White House was responsible for destroying the front company the CIA was using to track weapons of mass destruction, as well as putting the lives of our agents and contacts in danger. They lied us into a war and knew it at the time.
The media were more interested in the fact that Valerie Plame is a Democrat than the fact that our own government is guilty of treason. I was really upset to see that The Bee thought it wasn't even important enough to put on the front page. Those interested in facts really need to watch C-SPAN or read the transcripts. It's the only place left to get the news free of slant.

Favourite look
As beautiful as a gentle summer romance – flowing sleeveless blouses with lace trims, romantic frills and pretty pussycat bows. The slightly longer blouses from TAIFUN in particular are great for combining with jeans or denim shorts for a casual look. This goes great with leather heeled sandals, braided bracelets and a large raffia beach bag.
Simple combinations
Airy blouses are also a great companion for an elegant stroll on the beach promenade or for a café au lait in the street café at the port. Sleeveless blouse made of flowing fabric with a silky shimmer are particularly ladylike. Elegant Bermudas, flat sandals and a cool pair of sunglasses complete the outfit.
Up-to-date fashion advice for the courageous
Luckily for all those who can't get enough colour in summer, there are also sleeveless blouse in a trendy boho style. Loose tunic blouses with a floral design, embroidered tribal patterns or lace-up details define the look. Natural materials such as linen, leather and wood accessories make classic styling partners.

{warning: this is likely an overly long post for a lot of readers, but I wanted to share details for those who have asked & also to have a record to share with daphne one day. feel free to skip down to the pictures, or skip this post completely!}
As most of you know, I pretty much fell off the map as I neared my due date. In fact, I only blogged up to week 37! Once I hit 38 and 39 weeks, I kept telling Aaron that I should do my weekly photo, but by 40 weeks I was over it! This is actually the final picture I took of me and the bump, on February 24th, 4 days before I went into labor. You can see I stopped wearing pants (dresses were a godsend even though it was still really cold outside!) and my toiletries and make-up were all packed up and ready to be tossed into the hospital bag (well bags, plural, because I just kept adding things!).
Physically, those last three weeks, I felt great! I was tired, but I was actually sleeping really well, my heartburn had subsided, the baby was not into my ribs, I had zero swelling, and I didn't have any (noticeable) early labor symptoms. BUT, mentally and emotionally I was so drained and so ready to be done. I felt like I might go into labor at any moment from February 15th on (that's the day I had my mani/pedi so I was sure that would do it!) and so I was completely exhausted and anxious by the time my parents came into town on February 20th. We were all worried that they wouldn't make it in time, but alas, we waited. And waited. And my dad actually extended his trip a few days, but ended up getting on a plane about 5 hours before I had my first labor contraction!
That last week was difficult for me because I felt like I couldn't plan anything. So we would wake up in the morning and since there wasn't a baby, we would maybe plan a short outing, just in case I went into labor. My due date was definitely the most difficult day for me, and after that, I felt like I could better handle not being in control (which I very obviously wasn't at that point!) and try to enjoy these last days with my family and with Eloise before Baby Foot arrived. I also stopped all social media at that point, including responding to any and all texts and emails, so sorry if I was ignoring you!
On February 28th I had my 40 week (well, 39 weeks + 6) appointment with my midwife. I remember checking into the front desk and seeing the on-call board: Sarah was the on-call midwife (my favorite one since she also helped delivery Eloise) and Dr. Foltz was the on-call OB (also my favorite since she was my original OB years and years ago); I made a mental note that it would be a great day to have this baby since those are exactly the providers I would have wanted if I had my choice! It wasn't until after Daphne was born that I actually made that connection… I think that is what I needed to get things started!
Anyways, my check-up went well with my weight and blood pressure, and baby's heartbeat. At that point Sarah went ahead and checked to see if and how much I was dilated and I was almost 4 cm! I was really surprised since it didn't feel like I was having early laboring at all, but clearly all that tightening in my belly (like Braxton Hicks) was having an impact. Since I my body was already dilating on it's own, it made sense to have my membranes swept (which only is effective if you are already close to baby time, like within 48 hours!). It was so, so uncomfortable (and borderline painful!) and I was honestly uncomfortable for the remainder of the day (cramping mostly). Since I was at 41 weeks, my midwife also had me schedule an ultrasound for the end of the week as well as a non-stress test (to monitor baby's heartbeat) which are both standard for post-due date cases. Apparently after 42 weeks the placenta stops working as efficiently so close monitoring of mama and baby are required as well as discussion about intervention.
We took it easy for the rest of the day and said good-bye to my dad. By that evening I was really feeling crampy, so I called it a night early to try to get some rest. I got ready for bed and was lying down for just a bit when I had my first (real) labor contraction. I noted the time – it was 9 pm – and tried to go to sleep. Well, that was wishful thinking because the contractions kept coming and seemed to be fairly regular. At 9:42 I called Aaron, who was upstairs watching TV with my mom, to tell him to come down and time my contractions. Within 30 minutes, my contractions were becoming regular (4 to 5 minutes apart and a minute long) and Aaron called our doula, Jennie, to give her a head's up and have her start making her way to our house. Then Aaron called the doctor's office to give Sarah, the midwife, an update and they agreed that we would wait for Jennie to get to the house before making any further decisions.
At 10:50 pm, Jennie arrived at our house and I was still downstairs in our bed laboring on my side (with my pregnancy pillow, thank goodness!). My contractions were still consistent, and, spoiler alert, never stopped. Jennie talked me thru my next few contractions, and I decided I was ready to head to the hospital. At that point, the last thing I wanted to do was get in the car because having contractions in the car is the worst, but I also knew that I didn't want to have a homebirth, so there really wasn't any choice. Aaron called Sarah back to let her know we were headed to the hospital and that we would meet her there.
We pack up our last-minute stuff (and by we I mean Aaron), and say good-bye to my mom, and get in the car around 11:30. I had a number (like 4 or 5) of contractions in the car, but luckily since it was so late, there was no traffic (even on I-5) so we made it to the hospital pretty quickly! Aaron pulled into the hospital's parking garage at 11:40 pm. After parking, I had a few contractions on the way into the hospital, but luckily we had Jennie with us and she was able to help me as Aaron navigated us up the elevator, thru the security desk (you don't need to show ID if you are in labor!), and up to L&D triage. My contractions were getting stronger and much more intense. At 11:50 I was checked in and at 11:55, the nurse checked and I was 7 cm dilated. I remember looking at Jennie and telling her that I needed a break. I also remember making a reference to wanting something to help with the intensity (an epidural), but no one even acknowledged it! Not because they didn't care, but it was WAY too late by then! And really, I wanted an un-medicated labor, but I probably would have given anything to have just a minute of rest at that point! The nurses wheeled the triage bed directly to the L&D suite.
At midnight my labor was strong and from the time I got onto the triage bed, I kept my eyes closed. That was the only way I could handle the intensity of my labor. The nurses wanted me to move from the triage bed (stretcher) to the actual hospital bed, but I refused. I remember them telling me I would be way more comfortable and then I wouldn't have to move after the baby was born, but there was seriously no way that was going to happen. I also remember seeing Sarah at this point with her scrub cap on and ready to deliver. And almost immediately upon entering our hospital room, I felt like I needed to push.
At 12:05 am, Sarah checks and I am fully dilated. She gave me the green light to start pushing even though my bag of waters was still fully intact. Once the baby started crowning, everyone could see that baby's hair floating in the amniotic sac, which was apparently really cool. (Rarely babies are born completely in the amniotic sac, called in the caul, and it is seen as a sign of good luck!) After the baby's head is born (and the amniotic sack breaks on it's own), her shoulder gets stuck below my pubic bone (shoulder dystocia). I was too focused on pushing (and the pain/intensity) to really realize the severity of the situation, but Aaron has told me he was terrified. I remember hearing someone (it was Sarah) call "SHOULDER!" and then being turned onto my back by the L&D nurse (as I was pushing on my right side at the time) which was horribly, horribly painful! Apparently this was to get back-up in case the baby couldn't turn and pass under the bone, and a physician and NICU team arrived immediately. There is a series of maneuvers that are used in this (rare) situation, and luckily, Sarah was able to get the baby turned and I was able to continue with a safe and healthy delivery in about 90 seconds. Baby Foot Lower was born at 12:19 am on March 1st!*
Despite the slight complication at the end, Baby's APGAR scores were high (7s I think) and no visit to the NICU was necessary. And while technically the Baby's gender was a surprise, I wasn't at all surprised to hear it was a girl! Baby remained unnamed for at least a few hours (we were already in the post-partum room) as Aaron and I weren't decided on a name.** We each had a name that we liked; mine was Margot and Aaron's was Daphne. I will let you guess who won!
We were able to skin-to-skin almost right away (me and Aaron both) and by 12:50 am Baby was nursing for the first time. I remember the moment I first held Daphne that it felt so strange, like I was cheating on Eloise. It was such a weird feeling because when Eloise was born, at that moment, I was holding the little one that made me a mama, but with this second baby, I was already a mama… she felt like a stranger for just a moment! (I have heard other second-time mamas have felt the same way!)
So even though she made us wait (and wait) until March to be born, once she decided, she was here in a hurry: just over 3 hours in all.
Welcome to the world Daphne Lucille! I wouldn't have been able to have done any of this without Aaron, Jennie, Sarah, and all of the L&D staff, and my mom who stayed with Eloise. Plus, we had so much support from friends and family. We really are so blessed!
And here's Eloise's birth story if you are interested!

Questions from the Waiting Room explores the world of Dr. Nick Pejic - a busy New Orleans Psychiatrist, and co-host David Miller - a bright eyed millennial. David asks sensitive questions that patients might feel ashamed to ask, while Dr. Nick answers in a sincere, spontaneous, and unscripted manner – much like he does in his Uptown consultation room.
To start each episode, the listener gets a sneak peek into the life of Dr. Nick as he answers personal questions to prove that psychiatrists are human, too. The conversations flow from a light banter to a serious discussion, while they explore the broad terrain of human emotion and experience. Dr. Nick refers to these conversations as "the psychiatry of everyday life."
The inaugural episode of Questions from the Waiting Room opens with Dr. Nick admitting a less than stellar moment with his wife, while David reminisces about his first and only girlfriend.
Have you ever woken up feeling irritated or sad and an hour later suddenly feel upbeat and ready to take on the day? You're not alone. Dr. Nick addresses the reasons we experience these mood swings and advises us on some solutions.
Do you ever feel pleasure when a friend or coworker experiences a failure? This might not be that uncommon of a feeling! Dr. Pejic discusses why this could be the case.
Join Dr. Pejic and David for a fun and informational session about these topics and more!

"Sometimes I wake up grumpy, other times I let him sleep"
Night owl. Early bird.
Letting go.
I have always been intrigued with couples who have the opposite internal sleep clock and how they keep the physical and emotional intimacy alive; especially when balancing work, self care and family responsibilities.
Brian was a night owl.
I am an early bird.
A cause of disharmony if not attended to.
At the beginning of our relationship, this discovery was a rude awakening - literally, especially for Brian. Most mornings I would wake up around 6:00 a.m with the excitement of a child on Christmas morning, "let's go out for breakfast! How about a workout or setting some goals?" ☺Or all of the above?! (Over the years my morning enthusiasm has tempered).
My high energy approach to the beginning of the day and Brian's desire to share the quiet hours of late evening with me quickly revealed itself as a potential area of concern.
This sign brought humour to our situation and was the beginning of humorous pokes and discussions to find a way to embrace each others internal clock and make it a priority to find creative times and ways to connect.
When we became new parents it was a match made in parenting heaven. He did the 1:00 a.m feeding and I would do the 5:00 a.m feeding! (And we often all met mid afternoon for a nap 😊)
We quickly came to the realization that we were better partners (humans) to each other when our internal clocks were honoured and made it a priority to find our treasured times to connect.
I am letting go of a lot right now as Kenny and I prepare for our move and with mixed feelings I decided to let go of this plaque and simply keep a picture of it as I know having it in our new home will bring up more sadness and missing then joy when starting my day.......but it does warm my heart remembering the moments of humour and acceptance Brian and I found along the way.
Have you paired up with your opposite?
I would like to offer this..... in the big scheme of things this difference is small stuff when acknowledged and attended to. I would give anything to be able to crawl back into to bed and snuggle with Brian in the later hours of the morning. 🦋
Give your night owl or early bird a big cuddle and find your way to make your opposite internal clock work for your relationship.

In early May, two friends and I flew to Japan, boarded a cruise ship and sailed back across the Pacific to Vancouver. Another 3 weeks away from home. I like cruising, and riding on trains, for great places to write.
Those are my alibis. I got home Monday and on Thursday, May 29, my God-dog died. Max Sholars was my friend Teresa's soul-mate. For 15 years, they shared a bond stronger than any I have ever known. They were probably apart, in total, less than a full month in all those years.
I'm posting this, with Teresa's permission, because, if you have loved an animal deeply, you know how she is suffering. I'm not going to write about how exceptional Max was--his total devotion to her; her total devotion to him. This is about all our dogs and cats and birds. The purest love many of us will ever know will come from a non-human soul-mate.
Along with grieving for the dog that I have also loved for the last 15 years, I've been remembering the other special beings in my life. It's a comfort--kind of. It reminds me that I got past losing them. Even when I didn't think I could take that kind of pain again, I did and I have. If reading this brings similar memories, then you have, too. And Teresa will. We all heal, only the scars stay.
This morning I was also thinking about how we each handle sharing this most personal of losses--reaching out to some, holding others at bay. At the same time we so desperately need to be alone with our grief, we also need people, but only those close enough to understand what a catastrophic loss we are experiencing.
Through each of my non-human losses, it has been the memory of that love, and then the love of friends and family that has set the healing in motion. There's a certain irony in that, isn't there? Love heals the loss of a loved one.
A friend sent Teresa this poem; she sent it to me. I'm sending it to you.
The House Dog's Grave by Robinson Jeffers
I've changed my ways a little; I cannot now
Run with you in the evenings along the shore,
Except in a kind of dream; and you, if you dream a moment,
You see me there.
So leave awhile the paw-marks on the front door
Where I used to scratch to go out or in,
And you'd soon open; leave on the kitchen floor
The marks of my drinking-pan.
I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do
On the warm stone,
Nor at the foot of your bed; no, all the night through
I lie alone.
But your kind thought has laid me less than six feet
Outside your window where firelight so often plays,
And where you sit to read--and I fear often grieving for me--
Every night your lamplight lies on my place.
You, man and woman, live so long, it is hard
To think of you ever dying
A little dog would get tired, living so long.
I hope than when you are lying
Under the ground like me your lives will appear
As good and joyful as mine.
No, dear, that's too much hope: you are not so well cared for
As I have been.
And never have known the passionate undivided
Fidelities that I knew.
Your minds are perhaps too active, too many-sided. . . .
But to me you were true.
You were never masters, but friends. I was your friend.
I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures
To the end and far past the end. If this is my end,
I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.

Who IS the wild woman? We hear so much about her, about finding and embracing her. But where do we look? So many women tell me they are not accepted by their peer groups when their wild woman makes an appearance. Others say they tried the "wild woman thing" and it led them to a self destructive path. Others have said they truly don't even know what it means.
Jade Eggs/Yoni Eggs. Do you have a set? I have shared information about these wonders in my Illuminations, I've also spoken and written about them in other contexts. If you aren't yet familiar with them, let me share some helpful information with you.

Cartoon of the Day: Go Away Ghost Ship
From the ORIGINAL Scooby-Doo series, Go Away Ghost Ship first aired on this date in 1969 on CBS-TV. When Frank Sinatra sang "Strangers in the Night," did he know he would inspire the name for the longest-running cartoon on network TV? Probably not. Nonetheless, that Great Dane named Scooby-Doo (as in "dooby dooby doo") has appeared on television under no less than twelve titles.
When the 300-year-old ghost of Redbeard The Pirate and his pirate ghost ship come out of a spooky night's fog and raid a channel freighter, the reluctant Scooby-Doo and the teen sleuths find themselves in another baffling mystery. Pursuing the ghost ship, our kids' boat is sliced in two, and Shag and Scooby are captured by pirates and made to cook dinner. The gang uncovers the Ghost Of Redbeard for what he really is: C.L. Magnus, the raided freighter's owner who'd been raiding his own ships and selling the goods for the insurance money, and using an ancient revenge to cover up his scheme.
This story was adapted in Issue #6 (10252-106, June 1971) of Gold Key Comics' Hanna-Barbera Scooby Doo, Where Are You! ("The Ghost Of Redbeard").
And I woulda gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those rascally kids…

Tallinn – Helsinki: The idea of a fixed link, connecting two European capitals is one of the most ambitious projects within the Baltic Sea region. Connectbaltica has been a great supporter of this initiative, by adding this subject to the agenda of its various events.
In 2013 there was a conference, where Niko Stahlberg introduced the idea, which he came out even before Elon Musk.
In 2014 at the 4th Annual Connectbaltica Conference, an Estonian well-known businessman Joakim Helenius presented another approach: The Tallinn- Helsinki undersea tunnel. This initially skeptically adopted idea is now becoming more and more true.
During the conference Mr. Helenius has promoted a fixed link between Helsinki and Tallinn enabling prosperity and growth of the "Two-city-Region". Once a tunnel has been build connecting both cities, Tallin and Helsinki, people can communicate on daily basis and have direct access to international flights via Helsinki airport. According to the estimations, the travel time between the two cities could be reduced to approximately 30 minutes. The project has been seen as one which will further impact at least the following: immediate ROI perspective, positive strategic impact for the whole region and travel time between two cities could be reduced to approximately 30 minutes.
This initially skeptically adopted idea is now becoming true. The cities of Helsinki and Tallinn, Estonia, have just signed an agreement to develop a rail line connecting the two capitals via a 92-kilometer (57.2 mile) tunnel beneath the Baltic Sea. If all goes to plan, the link could slash journey times: a trip that currently takes one hour and 40 minutes at its very shortest would last just 30 minutes.

Why in the world would Scotland want to jump from one socialist union to an even bigger socialist union? Independence from the UK is Scotland's chance to become the Singapore of Europe. At one time it looked like Ireland would be the Singapore of Europe, but its socialists made sure that the Irish kept voting until they got it right and joined the EU and adopted the euro. The result? Loss of competitiveness and a huge debt that the Irish are still struggling to pay off. Isn't the EU wonderful? If you are an EU bureaucrat, it is!

After all the students performed well in a strong application and interview process we are delighted to announce that the new Head Boy and Girl for the next academic year will be, James Wilson and Paige McKenna-Crisp. They will be supported by their deputies, Jack Connor, Jonathan Carey, Erin Wass and Latifah Rahman.
Headteacher, Mr Mayland, said, "It was a real privilege to hear a dedicated group of our students speak with such passion and authority about their pride in the school and their ambitions for continual improvement. It was a tough decision, but I know that Paige and James will perform brilliantly in their new role."
The students are very proud at being given this honour and Head Girl, Paige, said, "This role is something that I have been working towards for many years, and to have been selected as Head Girl is such a massive honour and privilege." James, Head Boy, added "Obviously I am very happy about being chosen as Head Boy. I am looking forward to working with Paige and the deputy heads, senior prefects, prefects and other students and staff to help Albany to continue to go from strength to strength."
The position of Head Boy and Girl is one of the top honours that can bestowed upon a student at Albany and requires the students to be passionate about improving the school and for them to show determination to succeed, both Head Boy and Girl had different reasons for applying. James said, "I had nothing to lose and strongly believe that you should participate and try your best with any opportunity you are presented with. When I got the chance to apply for the role of Head Boy I did not hesitate to do so." Paige spoke of how she wanted to give something back to the school that has supported her over the past four years. "I am eternaly grateful for the many things the school has done for me over the years. I believe that achieving the role as Head Girl and putting into the role as much as possible will repay the school for its generosity."
The role of the Head Boy and Girl and their deputies is to lead by example and set a standard for all Albany students to follow. Paige said, "I will be aspiring to become a role model to the younger students of the school, so that when they reach where I am now, they will be as passionate, enthusiastic and proud to be part of Albany Academy as I am." James talked of his determination to make the school even better than it is now, saying, "I hope to work with the rest of the Albany family to keep up the progress the school has been making over the last few years and to make sure we end the next academic year an even better school than we are now."
The role will certainly benefit the students as they go on into further education and employment. James who wishes to go on to college and then university to work towards a degree in business studies said, "Hopefully this role will help me stand out from other applicants when applying for roles in the future." Paige sees the role enhancing her, "organisation, communication, motivation skills." These skills as well as "respect, confidence and positivity" are all skills that the Royal Navy require, which is Paige's chosen career.

The time has come to get Frank Eudy out of the Big Brother house. And the eviction couldn't come soon enough. The longer I watch him work inside the house and during competitions, the longer I realize he's such a terrible player and doesn't deserve to be in the house still.
More: Bridgette Dunning is way too naive to be in the Big Brother house
During tonight's episode, Eudy was part of the Power of Veto competition, where he lost, yet again. Although, I will admit that he was good at the Roadkill competitions, when the competition really matters, Eudy continues to lose to the women in the house.
The women are awesome. It's not a shock that he loses to women, it's a shock that he's always losing and still boasts as if he is one of the best competitors in the house. There is no evidence to support that claim.
On top of that, no one likes him in the house. And none of the power players in the house believe him or the deals he promises to make. During tonight's episode I really was struggling to find a single reason why he thinks he was such a dominant competitor.
More: Someone convince Big Brother's Paulie Calafiore to throw a challenge
And even if he doesn't get evicted tomorrow night, Paulie Calafiore delivered an amazing moment in the episode that made it possible for me to wait another week if I have to. Calafiore called Eudy out in front of every house member to basically say, "Stop fooling yourself. No one is going to vote for you."
Calafiore said that he was planning to take Eudy aside and tell him in private so that he wasn't embarrassed in front of everyone, because he's actually a good guy. But for the rest of us petty folks, watching him cut Eudy down to size was pretty amazing.
It'll be interesting to see whether or not Eudy gets unanimous votes. Some people seem to not like Bridgette Dunning either. But she isn't seen as a big enough power player in the house to be a threat. Even though she's won many more competitions than Eudy has.
More: Frank's Big Brother actions toward Da'Vonne Rogers should get him evicted
Clearly, it's very frustrating being on this end of the competition because everything looks so obvious. If only they would call me, I could explain everything to them!

I like to be sitting up, but also I like to be really comfortable, so I write in the corner of this gray sectional sofa with my expensive laptop perched perilously on the cushion. Sitting there, I can glance up and see the weather through the windows, or cars threading through Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood. Also, I can see the front door of the apartment, in case any villains attempt to gain entry. My partner Jessica Mooney prefers to write while seated at our dining room table, and if I'm in the corner of the sofa and she's at the table, we can see each other (although if we're paying attention to each other when we're supposed to be writing, that means the writing is going really badly).
You'll note that there's a small side table beside me for coffee, water, bowls of mixed nuts, gin and tonics, or anything else I want to keep me company while I work. You'll also notice a very fluffy and ugly red blanket that I bought from Fred Meyer, which is my writing blanket. I wash it with tons of scented detergent so that it reeks of "freshness" in a way that is very comforting to me.

A man who claimed he kept rare owls at his open farm to help educate the public about wildlife is now disheartened after a crackdown by the authorities and now says: "I don't care if the last owl in Northern Ireland is dead".
Seamus McAleese from Rosepark Farm near Ballymoney had the premises raided and found himself taken to court charged with possessing three barn owls contrary to the Wildlife Order.
Barn owls are an endangered species in Northern Ireland and the 58-year-old, of Burnquarter Lane, pleaded guilty to the one charge he faced when he appeared at Coleraine Magistrates Court on Friday and was fined £750.
Afterwards, Mr McAleese said it was a "technical" offence and he is now disillusioned, adding: "I don't want to keep owls any more, I want nothing more to do with them. I don't care if the last owl in Northern Ireland is dead, I don't care because of the way I have been treated.
"I only picked the barn owls because the barn owl population in Northern Ireland is only 25 pairs. We could have helped that.
"They are talking there about not releasing them into the wild. I have 30 years experience of this. You can re-train a captive wild bird into the wild, with a bit of common sense. They didn't give me the opportunity of doing that."
And he said when the authorities raided his property one of the birds died.
"They stressed the female eagle owl that much, she was defending her nest. She was that distressed that she trampled the very chicks that she was trying to protect and she never went back on to another egg to hatch it," he said.
He pleaded guilty to having 'possession or control of a live bird or of any part or derivative of a wild bird or an egg or part of an egg of a wild bird, namely three barn owls, contrary to the Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order 1985'.
Prosecutor Stewart Henry told the court, police, a vet and the National Wildlife Crime Unit went to the McAleese farm and found three owls did not have rings attached.
Mr Henry said the defendant told police the public could visit Rosepark Farm for a fee and that he was trying to assist owls but the authorities were hindering that.
Defence barrister Alan Stewart said the purpose of the legislation was to stop people taking wild birds, offspring and their eggs and trading them but his client was not involved in that but instead was displaying the birds openly and treating them well.
He said his client ran an open farm for families and children which attracted 25,000 visitors a year including school bookings.
Mr Stewart said the defendant was passionate about educating people about wildlife and he also wanted to maintain rare species of birds.
Mr Stewart said the defendant contacted the Department and asked what certificates he would need after he bought birds in England and he asked about getting rings for chicks born to the birds.
The response, said Mr Stewart, was for officials to come out and arrest him and said in the course of the raid a bird died after becoming stressed.
A Department official told the court there was no evidence McAleese was involved in trading owls.
A reference was handed to the court from an official with Ballymoney Chamber of Commerce who said the defendant was a "real asset" to the area and Judge McNally noted it was "very high praise".
Fining McAleese a total of £750, the judge said the legislation was designed to protect barn owls which are an endangered species in Northern Ireland but he said the case fell low down on the scale of culpability where the defendant was openly keeping the birds with evidence of where he bought them and they were well looked after.
However, the judge said the defendant should have had the appropriate rings on the birds. It was ordered that the three barn owls be forfeited.
Outside the court, defence solicitor Brian Moss said: "To adapt a well-known phrase, this case was an example of using a sledgehammer to crack an egg. It is very unfortunate this case was ever brought in the first place or that it ever got this far.
"Mr McAleese is passionate about animal welfare and runs a small family business, Rosepark Farm - an open farm which is set up to educate local people and youngsters about our wildlife.
"Mr McAleese is pleased the Department had the common sense in the end to withdraw the vast majority of the charges against him but it is a travesty that the case was ever brought in the first place.
"Mr McAleese is not the type of individual that the legislation he was prosecuted under was designed to prosecute. On the other hand he is someone who was trying to look after our wildlife and it seems that in the course of seeking assistance from the Department that they decided instead to prosecute him for a technicality.
"It is ironic that having given up ownership of the birds they have remained in Mr McAleese's care where they have been well looked after at great expense, potentially to the taxpaper, for the best part of the last year.
"They are presently sitting on eggs and if they hatch they will double the population of Barn Owls in Northern Ireland. Mr McAleese hopes the Department will learn their lessons in this case and they will ensure that the birds will continue to thrive when they are returned to the Department's care."

Footsteps to Fitness
Elementary School K-6 FUN runs at the YMCA!
The YMCA hosts monthly runs for local elementary school running clubs. We use the YMCA and different parks around Spartanburg to set up a running course that is suitable for all ages and running abilities.This is a picture from our February Footstep to Fitness run at Milliken Arboretum.
Following a fun stretching routine by our YMCA coaches, the kids line up for a group start based on age groups (K-2, 3-4, 5-6) and then head out on the course for their very own running event. Although not timed, this event is all about school camaraderie, good sportsmanship and allows the kids to learn about the YMCA and our four core values, honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility.
After completing the run, the kids are provided with a healthy snack and then form groups with their school for the spirit stick award! Schools with the most spirit at the Footsteps to Fitness run are given the spirit stick for the next month to take back to their elementary school and put on a special decoration or emblem that represents their school and running club.
Running benefits individuals of all ages, especially children!
Running is one of our most natural movements. As a child we first learn to crawl, then to stand, walk, and run. We begin running at an early age and building up the distance or time that our children spend running could have a great effect on them as they get older. Here is why!
If your school is interested in joining the Footsteps to Fitness run or you are interested in volunteering for an upcoming run, please contact Atticus Fehl (Sports Director) at email@example.com for more information!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, Pinterest is a gold vein just waiting to be mined by brands. The network lets users "pin" images and videos from across the Web and organize them into themes that tell stories.

When a certain man is released from prison, he knows exactly where he's heading first. After falling in love with a traditional comic storyteller's rendition of the story called "Shinigami," he is determined to become his apprentice. The performer, Yakumo, has never taken an apprentice before, but to everyone's surprise, he accepts the eager ex-prisoner, nicknaming him "Yotaro."
As Yotaro happily begins his new life, he meets others in Yakumo's life, including Yakumo's ward Konatsu. Konatsu was the daughter of a famous storyteller, and Yakumo took her in after her father's tragic death. Konatsu loved her father's storytelling, and would love to become a performer in her own right—but that path is not available for women.

November was a frenzy. I was busy at work, skipped some events and got caught up with the whirlwind of information on Lanvin for H&M and then there was the fantabulous news of H&M finally landing in Singapore.
[25 November] Lovely Christmas lights (and Harvey Nichols) at The Landmark Tower in Hong Kong! [link]
Of course, I was also in a mad rush for my personal trip to Hong Kong. I managed to squeeze time out of my hectic schedule to check out the H&M store at Canton Road – yes I am predictable like that – as well as visit The Landmark, a luxury shopping mall. This is how much of a city shopaholic that I innately am.
[27 November] Romantic ruffles on Valentino for GAP. Available in Gap Milan flagship store or Colette! [link]
In the midst of the Lanvin frenzy last month, the special collection for GAP designed by Valentino was available in Europe. To mark the opening of it's flagship store in Italy, GAP invited Italian designer Valentino to design a capsule collection which is romantic with ruffles and understated in khaki. If you are thinking of buying something from this collection, you can try your luck at Colette.
[21 November] Received this book "Celebrating 100 years of beauty" from Elizabeth Arden. Here is a picture of an antique EA lipstick! [link]
[17 November] This is cute.. Amelie vs Carrie, Paris vs New York.. http://parisvsnyc.blogspot.com/ [link]
Wanted to share an interesting blog to everyone, which compares Paris with New York. Some of the comparisons are so funny and true!
[15 November] Alrightey, people.. are you the WIRE or STUDS person? [link]
GoldHeart launched two sets of new rings and I decided to find out which design could be more well-received. It seems that the Studs (bottom) are more popular, although I think I am more swayed towards the Wire (top).
[5 November] Anyone used this before? [link]
My friend had tonnes of these Biore UV Perfect Face Milk and I was wondering which one I should choose. It seems like many of you have used this product before!
We are officially in the last month of the year – a festive yet reflective period. I am strangely optimistic of the coming year and I'm all ready to go and enjoy the last of 2010. I don't really have a habit of making resolutions, what about you?

The award recognizes Trogdon for his versatility in combining orthogonal polynomials and special functions in new and creative ways to deduce results in a variety of fields, such as rational approximation, random matrices, and Riemann-Hilbert problems. As part of the award, he delivered a lecture, "The High Oscillation of Special Functions," at the meeting.
The SIAM Activity Group on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions (SIAG/OPSF) awards the Gábor Szegő Prize every two years to a researcher in their early career for outstanding research contributions in the area of orthogonal polynomials and special functions. The prize is awarded to a researcher who has at most 10 years involvement in mathematics since receiving their PhD, or who, in the opinion of the selection committee, is at an equivalent stage in their career. The contributions must be contained in a paper or papers published in English in peer-reviewed journals.
Thomas Trogdon received his PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Washington under the supervision of Bernard Deconinck in 2013. He was awarded the 2014 SIAM Richard C. DiPrima Prize for his dissertation titled Riemann-Hilbert Problems, Their Numerical Solution and the Computation of Nonlinear Special Functions. SIAM later published his book by the same title, co-authored with Sheehan Olver.
Dr. Trogdon is an assistant professor of mathematics at the University of California, Irvine. Before that, he was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow under the supervision of Percy Deift at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, where his research focused on applications of random matrix theory to numerical analysis (and vice versa).
Q: Why are you excited about winning this prize?
A: I feel very honored to have been selected to receive the 2017 Gábor Szegő Prize. The study of orthogonal polynomials and special functions (OPSF) is in many ways at the heart of modern applied and computational mathematics, and certainly at the core of my research. And to be recognized by the SIAM Activity Group on OPSF is a special honor.
Q: Could you tell us a bit about the research that won you the prize?
A: I have long been interested in the numerical solution of oscillatory and singular integral equations posed on infinite domains. Such integral equations, usually being equivalent to a so-called Riemann-Hilbert problem, arise in the solution of integrable partial differential equations, in special function theory, and in Weiner-Hopf factorization problems. These integral equations present a series of issues, some more obvious (singularities and oscillation) and some less obvious (coefficient functions that eliminate the possibility of the truncation of the infinite domain). The work recognized by the 2017 Gábor Szegő Prize aims to expand a set of computational tools for such integral equations and to analyze the error of these tools. Specifically, the tools and their analysis involve a combination of ideas from infinite-dimensional linear algebra, interpolation, orthogonal polynomials and special functions (Laguerre polynomials and hypergeometric functions), and Fourier analysis on Sobolev spaces.
Q: What does your research mean to the public?
A: The research presents the construction and analysis of new methods in approximation theory. These methods allow for the descriptive numerical solution of problems in inverse scattering and multi-sensor Wiener filtering. We hope that the study of these applications through this descriptive method will give an increased understanding of both physical and biological phenomena, including the ability of the auditory cortex to filter noise.
Q: What does being a SIAM member mean to you?
A: I take pride in being a SIAM member. SIAM provides a high quality platform to share and discuss research via academic journals and conferences. SIAM is an important component of my academic identification.

BLE 2013 Show News
Kate Knight
I'm back in the studio working on some new designs following a very successful show. I love going to London every October for Brand Licensing Europe. It's great to meet up with friends and fellow designers showcasing the latest trends and fashions in the licensing world.
I think my stand this year was my favourite to date. The Art & Design section was situated on the gallery level at Olympia and my booth overlooked the ground floor area.
Over the three days I met people from all over the world, many with new and exciting ideas of what they could do with my designs. There was even a deal or two tied up at the show, which was brilliant. I'll announce these shortly on my blog.
During the exhibition I met up with my new agents from Smart Licensing (Nic and Sarah). I am so excited about working with them and I'm positive this is going to be a very productive partnership. They showed me a presentation booklet featuring designs that are available to license exclusively from Smart.
A couple of other designers being represented by Smart popped along to my stand. These included Jacky Al-Samarraie and Joachim Berg. I'm so looking forward to seeing them, and the rest of the Smart artist team, in the not too distant future. I feel having other creative minds to bounce ideas off can only be a very positive thing for my work.
A number of aspiring designers visited my booth and asked for advice; hopefully I gave them some useful direction. It is very difficult to be starting out at the moment and it makes me feel grateful that I am so well established.
My boyfriend, Finbar, came to the exhibition on the first day as he had never been to see me at a show before. He really enjoyed chatting to a number of potential clients and learning a little bit about the licensing world.
The dress I wore at the show was made by Sergio Tosoratti, an Italian couturier, whose studio is near my flat in Edinburgh. The fabric was produced by Quilting Treasures, part of the Cranston group, it came from the Kate Knight Summer Garden collection. The dress was admired by many and its 1950s styling went down a treat.
My floral animal designs, which I created as a new collection for Smart Licensing, were very well received. It was Sarah Lawrence's idea to put them on plain backgrounds, and this certainly worked. What I found interesting was that everyone seemed to have a different favourite - I think mine is the lizard.
It was a really great show. I'll post news of any

Preston Kirkwood swears he didn't turn his stove on, but that's where the fire started.
He says he'd fried chicken on Sunday night and left the grease in a pot on the stove. He had eaten out and from the living room he heard what sounded like someone trying to break in. But it was the fire breaking out.
He ran out of his apartment and alerted his neighbors even before the fire alarm sounded.
The fire was reported at about 10 p.m. on Tuesday. On Thursday, the fire marshal ruled the fire accidental and are looking at the stove as the point of origin.
Fire crews had to evacuate 30 to 40 people from Park Side West Apartments at 283 Willets Ave. before they could begin battling the fire. Some of those residents needed help because of the smoke.
In the hours since the fire, some landlords have come forward to offer apartments and are waiving security deposits.
"While we were doing that, we couldn't extinguish the fire, so it did get ahead of us a little bit," Ronald Samul, chief of New London's fire department.
"They were rescuing people out the front here, with that big ladder, out the front window," Anissa Morocca said.
"I don't know where to go. Last night I had a place. Today we have none," said Robin Myrick, who reports flames reaching 40 to 50 feet high.
Everyone made it out safely from the three-story building.
The building previously had a flat roof but it was later modified with a peak, which is where the flames did a lot of damage.
On Tuesday night, the Red Cross set up an emergency shelter at the New London Senior Center. On Wednesday, they were working with the nearly 100 residents who are now out of a home. Some of them losing nearly everything.
Of the 36 units at Park Side West, about 30 are occupied and about 60 residents were displaced.
The fire remains under investigation.

cambodia | beng mealea/
By the time I actually arrived in Cambodia, I had been traveling for five days (traveling back from New York, trying to travel but missing my flight and the three days of flights to get to Cambodia). To arrive in Cambodia I just felt like I was home. Everything, although foreign, was still somehow familiar. This is my second time visiting Cambodia, but it's changed so much since three years ago when I last visited. Cambodia is adjusting to foreign tourists, and somehow it's losing its charm that I first fell in love with three years ago. On my first full day in Cambodia, Richelle and I went to Beng Mealea about two hours northeast by tuk tuk of Siem Reap where we're staying. I must say, Beng Mealea is freakin awesome. It's like a juggle gym and the temple in Tomb Raider (Ta Prohm) combined. You can climb through the ruins or walk on boardwalks through and above the ruins. I loved it.

Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs and the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission officially revealed their new Orlando marketing initiative at the 2014 Orange County Economic Summit on Tuesday.
The main tagline for the new branding is:
"Orlando. You Don't Know The Half Of It."
The campaign will capitalize on the world's familiarity with Orlando as a tourist destination, but ask them to expand their view of the city to recognize its vibrant metro area, growing business sector, and exceptional quality of life.
"Orlando's brand isn't about who we are going to be, but who we are right now" said Mayor Jacobs during her presentation at the Summit.
Among the target audience for this new branding are key decision makers involved in business relocation initiatives. But Mayor Jacobs and the EDC also have organic growth in mind. She's hoping the new brand will develop a deeper sense of pride & ownership among Orlando residents so that they will help spread the word about how great it is to live & do business in Orlando, Florida.
Mayor Jacobs also highlighted their focus on entrepreneurship and small business, and encouraged business leaders to share their stories of innovation and success in the Orlando area.
The initiative is the culmination of an 18 month research and creative process by the Regional Branding Committee, with the help of Winter Park advertising agency Anson Stoner. The Metro Orlando EDC has high hopes for the impact the new branding will have on the local economy. They project that the average Orlando area wage will increase 20% in 5 yrs, and that there will be a $162 return for the community on each $1 invested in marketing campaign.
For more on Orlando's new branding initiative, visit Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission website: http://www.orlandoedc.com/
Tell your Orlando company's story of success and innovation through video. Contact Talking Head Studio for a consultation.

Recovered from swine Flu I have been training hard and will be able to build it more when i'm not doing extra hours.
What have you been doing I hear you cry? Well ....
On the 3rd August I had work in the morning then went to Kickboxing in Andover for a double session.
4th August I had work in the morning then went to Kickboxing for 1hr session.
5th August I worked all day and crashed when I got home at 8.30pm.
6th August I worked all day and did a 3/4hr Curves Smart Workout.
7th August I worked all day then went swimming for 1 half hrs.
8th August I worked am then had a rest.
9th Augustt I went to Kickboxing for 1hr am then had a rest.
I have returned today to work in am and Kickboxing double session pm.
Really getting into it now just need to get a few more hill walks into the programme and all will be well.
I have a long weekend coming up so I am hoping to get myself to Snowdon for a trial run there!
Got £47 in sponsorship so far, remember every penny goes to charity!

The phrase "investing in the future" is both socially moving and nonsensical (how would I invest in the past?), but its social meaning is very different from its financial meaning. In general society, it means that we're putting money toward making tomorrow better than today, usually by giving kids something. In finance, it usually means that a company isn't making money right now. As investors, we can choose to be excited about the future, or we can see it as a pipe dream.
The futurists
One of the most common refrains from Amazon.com
But the bull case is largely based on Bezos' ability to continue repeating the performances he's had in the past. Other companies, such as Facebook
The older guard
Most retail companies outside the Internet sector make smaller, more paced investments in the future. While these eat into the bottom line, they usually do it in a much lighter way. Jeans retailer Buckle
Buckle still talks about the future, but it talks in much more concrete ways. Whereas Amazon talks about how "Amazonians are leaning into the future, with radical and transformational innovations," Buckle simply wants to "continue doing what [it does] best -- creating the best possible shopping experience for our guests."
In the middle
There is always middle ground. Google
Google has expanded its offerings recently but has maintained its core competency of selling advertising. Amazon continues to reinvent the way it sells its products and services, moving from book seller, to everything seller, to e-books, to cloud computing over its lifetime. Google's biggest push recently has come in the form of its new Nexus 7 tablet, which hasn't drained resources too deeply.
The bottom line
The takeaway from all of this is not that investing in future growth is better or worse than investing in the existing model; it's simply that it's important to know what you're buying. When you invest in Buckle, you're investing in a company that has a clear plan, but that isn't going to suddenly double in value. You don't have to trust that the management team can redefine the brand every three years.
With Amazon, you need to have a lot more faith in the folks at the top of the chain. If you're comfortable trusting them, then it can be a great place to hunt that growth. Facebook is clearly the biggest risk here. Very few people trust Zuckerberg, and the nightmare of an IPO didn't help. The Fool has a new premium report on Facebook, though. It explains where the company's going, what it needs to do to get on track, and what investors should be looking for. We'll have updates throughout the year, but get your copy now to get the early look.

I am becoming increasingly concerned about the extent of the slowdown which is now underway in the US economy, a trend which has not yet been fully recognised by the Federal Reserve. Admittedly, some decline in the growth rate was always inevitable at this stage of the cycle, because the large boosts to growth stemming from the upswing in inventories and from fiscal stimulus were certain to lose momentum about now. But the pick up in more sustainable sources of growth, notably consumers' expenditure and capital investment, has so far been more anaemic than I had hoped, and the improvement in the labour market may be going into reverse. The Fed may soon be forced to confront the choice they most wanted to avoid, which is whether to extend quantitative easing, instead of allowing their programmes of unconventional easing to lapse, as they fervently hoped earlier this year.The tragedy is that voices like that of Paul Krugman who warned of this a year and a half ago were ignored and continue to be ignored.
With the ISM dropping towards the low 50s, initial claims rising, and the number of private sector jobs declining, it seems likely that the Fed will be forced to accept that below trend GDP growth is likely in coming quarters. Previously optimistic private sector forecasters have been downgrading their central case, and the danger of a double dip is coming onto the radar screen. For example, JP Morgan have recently shaved a full percentage point from their US GDP growth forecast for the second half of 2010, taking it down to 1.75 per cent.
No-one yet makes a double dip the most likely course of events in the US. But this is not very surprising, since economic forecasters almost never acknowledge the start of a recession until some months after it has actually taken place. Instead, they talk about "increased risks of recession". It is interesting to note that both JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs now say that a double dip recession is about 25-30 per cent probable, which is what forecasters generally say when they are becoming really concerned that such an outcome could easily occur.
Policy in the US is still being made by the very people who allowed the financial crisis to occur, the very people who saw no "housing bubble", who assured us that sub-prime mortgage failures would be "contained", and that the fiscal stimulus by Obama was "big enough" and no second stimulus was (or is) needed. These are the very leaders who beat the drums and led the conga line of self-congratulations on a "job well done" as over 14 million Americans became officially unemployed and many millions of others have been banished to statistical "non-existence".

|The Blue Beast
Two years ago I fell in love with a car, a van to be specific, a blue 1987 Volkswagen Westfalia. Well, not quite a Westfalia, it's a Weekender, it has a pop-top, but no kitchen, any VW connoisseur would recognize the difference. This van has been through some pretty awesome adventures.
|The van at home.
It's been stuck, it's broke down, it's been fixed, it's driven eighteen hours straight, its gone off road where no van belongs, it's been in the snow, ice, the rain, high winds, oh the high winds its seen. Over the last twenty five thousand miles of my life, from California to Wyoming and everywhere between, it has gotten me around and been my home.
|The van lives in this campsite.
|Jack likes the van
|Grandma likes the van
|Carmen loves the van.
|Ben's Ganesh now lives in the van.
|Sometimes I see awesome sunsets in the van.
|Sometimes we drink really good wine in the van.
|I make a lot of coffee in the van.
|Wal-Mart bivy and morning coffee session in the van.
|The van goes to Vedauwoo
|Brr. Says the van.
|Sam and I got really snow storm day drunk in the van.
|Awesome views during the snowstorm while trapped in the van.
|The van has room for many.
|Backgammon in the van
|The van in the desert.
|Uh oh, it snowed on the van.
|Carmen can drive the van.
|The van does icy roads
|We weather the storm in the van.
|Luke can cook anything in the van.
|I think while I drive the van.
|The van gets stuck...in the middle of nowhere...
|I manage to take awesome pictures from the van.
|The van gets hot in January in Joshua Tree.
|Modelo & Backgammon rest day in the van.
