Jodie Sweetin is super excited to be part of the upcoming Netflix Full House spinoff, Fuller House.
Jodie Sweetin sat down with Entertainment Weekly to talk about returning to the screen as Stephanie Tanner.
As Stephanie, Jodie Sweetin grew up in front of our eyes and she can't wait to work with her TV family again.
Jodie Sweetin said of the opportunity, "For a really long time, this is something we had hopes for—and I had gotten to a place where I was like, 'You know what? If it happens, it happens.' I had no control over it. Jeff Franklin and I had a conversation yesterday, and we realized the first time we met and talked about bringing Full House back as a spinoff series was like, 2007 or 2008. Now that it's actually happening, it's almost too good to be true."
She continued, "To be able to do a series with people I love—who are like family—to play a character I loved so much and to be able to do that in this point in my life when things are going so well for me and I have a completely different perspective on things… I'm really, incredibly grateful."
Jodie Sweetin also explained more about what the show will be about, so that fans can get set in their minds what to expect when the show debuts next year.
She said, "It's based around D.J., Stephanie and Kimmy, so there's still going to be that really fun dynamic, which I'm looking forward to—Stephanie and Kimmy being arch nemeses, and teaming up to help D.J. [a pregnant, widowed mom of two]."
Jodie Sweetin added, "It will be very similar, certainly, to the first Full House, but we're definitely trying to bring it back as a little more modern take. Stephanie has sort of been the wild world traveler, and I'm looking forward to bringing to life Stephanie as she is today and creating a real backstory for her. She's a free spirit, and that will be obvious in the character she's become."
Are you looking forward to seeing Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner again?

I've had the busiest work week in recent memory this week (even compared to back in the corporate world). Things have been crazy, but in a good way. Here are some updates:
1. I met with a number of GCs this week to get bids on the Corn House rehab. I expect to have four formal proposals/bids in my hand by early next week, and I'll go from there deciding what I'm going to do with this property. While I've been leaning towards rehabbing and reselling it, I have a feeling all the bids are going to come in above my allocated budget, and if I can't figure out a way to get the prices down (or cut some less important rehab work), I will have to consider other options. The most reasonable other option would be to do a much smaller rehab — on the order of $4-7K — and then rent the house for the next year or two until the market rebounds, and prices increase a bit. Then I can consider doing the major rehab at that point, when I'll have more room to spend on the construction costs. One way or the other, my goal is to decide by next week what I'm going to do with this house.
2. I still don't have a closing date for the Corn House. The contract specifies that it will be on or before August 18, but because it will be a double close (the wholesaler I bought it from will also be attending the closing, as he is the one with the contract on the property), I will let the wholesaler take care of arranging the closing schedule. The other issue with having closing on the horizon is that I don't yet have my financing lined up…
3. The lender that I'd generally be using refuses to do double closings (as do most traditional lenders, because double closings present some title risks), so I have to find another lender or pay cash for the property. Because the total cost of the property plus rehab will be about $100K, I really don't want to tie up that much cash for what could be a long time (if I have trouble selling after the rehab). So, I really need another financing option. The wholesaler I've been working with has promised to line up a lender who should be able to help me finance this deal, but he's been busy and slow to help me out. He's promised to come through on this, so for the time being I'm going to trust that I'll be able to get this done through him, and not spend any extra time on finding a backup source (hopefully that won't come back to bite me).
4. I put an offer on another house yesterday. I don't want to say too much about it, as I'm skeptical I'll get it at my asking price. And, even if I do get it, I need to do some serious due diligence during the 10-day inspection period that I put in the contract. Two issues about the house are concerning me: 1) there is a former garage that has been converted to a rec room; if the conversion wasn't done legally (i.e., they didn't pull the permits and get inspections), I could be on the hook for fines or even have probably selling to certain buyers in the future; and 2) There is a big bulge in the center of a (presumably structural) wall that runs through the house…the bulge is on both sides of the wall, and I'm not sure if they sheetrocked over an obstacle (like a plumbing pipe) or if there is a structural issue. If the offer is accepted, I'll use that 10-day due diligence period to check things out.
5. I'm running into more concerns around the financing for my properties. While I have secured (with a partner) traditional residential investor financing, in today's credit climate, that may only be good for the first 4-7 properties I buy. After that, lending restrictions, debt-to-income ratio, and a host of other factors may converge to make it very difficult to acquire additional property. The one lending vehicle that I believe will help the situation is commercial loans where I'm able to buy property under my corporate entity. So, it's back to the banks over the next few days to try to work something out; I'm not particularly hopeful, but I have to give it a shot.
That wraps up an exciting week…while I'll try to post as much as possible in the coming 10 days, I'm getting married next Friday, so I won't be focusing on the business nearly as much as I have been. It's probably better that I slow down for a couple weeks anyway…

We normally use the clonodine or tenex that *usually* knocks our difficult child out, but it doesn't always work. I am looking at taking difficult child on a trip with me (to see the baby). He is doing really well right now, but I need an ace in the hole for the plane trip, etc. What do you use for emergency prn's when you absolutely have to?

Kirsten is an 18-inch-tall girl from 1854, and Nellie is an 18-inch-tall girl from 1906. Mini Kit is a 6-inch-tall doll from 1934.
Kirsten's birthday only comes once a year (thankfully), and so they had a party!
Kirsten, however, seemed a bit sad. She didn't invite Pegleg Sally to come to the party--they had a bit of a falling out earlier. I wonder why.
The girls decided to play the game of Life!
Being from 1854, Kirsten, of course, remembers the old Art Linkletter version of Life, which was much simpler. This version takes too much thinking. Kirsten draws her career card...
She's a teacher? Does that sound right? She skipped college, too.
"Miss Cheap Lady, why didn't you just skip college?" Kirsten asked. "Then you could make $60,000 every time you went forward 8 spaces or so. How many days is 8 spaces?"
So Kirsten gets her financial planning ideas from PBS and her concept of money from board games. Sigh.
At least she didn't think the money in the game was real. She could have gotten me in real trouble with the folks on eBay. (Again.)
"This game is not very doll-friendly," Kirsten complained as she sat on the game board to spin the wheel. "And that office building is poking me."
Mini Kit and Nellie got their degrees. All the girls were rather hesitant to get married. Mini Kit took about twice as long as the others.
Nellie got a job as tech support. It really seems a good job for her, with her patience, even though a tragic "salary switch" play cut her pay to a third of its original level! Mini Kit ended up changing jobs so often I'm not sure what she was.
Kirsten was the red car. When she landed on this space, she changed her job to a police officer. I think she should have changed her job to proofreader but that wasn't an option.
You have to pay the police officer some money every time you spin a 10. I'm sure that's meant to be for when you're speeding, but it sounds to me more like it's a corrupt police officer.
Kirsten didn't mind either way.
Despite her fears of marriage, Nellie was overjoyed to land on the "Adopt twins!" space. She loves the idea of bringing people into her home and taking care of them.
Perhaps the oddest moment was when Kirsten landed on the "You're a grandparent!" space, considering she had no children.
But perhaps you can guess how the game ended.
Kirsten moped again.
"You came in second," Nellie said, "and you had over a million dollars. You even had grandchildren while skipping having regular children. I've heard comedians say that's every parent's dream!"
Mini Kit frowned. She knew why Kirsten was so sad, and it wasn't just that she got beaten in a game of chance.
But maybe she could still cheer Kirsten up.
"The Cheap Lady brought you these cookies all the way from the Swedish Embassy!" Mini Kit said.
That coaxed a tiny smile out of Kirsten. "But...I don't think there's an embassy nearby, is there? And the Cheap Lady didn't go on a trip recently. Wait a minute. How old are these cookies?"
"She got them yesterday!" Mini Kit said. "At IKEA. That's a Swedish Embassy, right? They have the flag!"
Kirsten considered. "I don't know."
The girls shared some cookies.
"Don't you feel better now?" Mini Kit asked.
"Only a little," Kirsten said, still looking listless.
Mini Kit sighed. Kirsten had a wound that even sweets couldn't fix.
"Let's bring the presents out!" Nellie said. "Happy birthday, Miss Kirsten!"
Mini Kit brought over something too.
Kirsten sighed.
"This is just my old pirate shirt from a couple Halloweens ago, isn't it?" she asked.
"Yeah," Mini Kit said. "That Cheap Lady told me to bring it to you."
Nellie nodded. "But your real present is in the box."
"That's the problem," Kirsten said.
"What?" Nellie asked.
"I really wanted to know the secret you were hiding from me," Kirsten said. "Mini Kit said she knew the secret, so I promised to give her the Roth IRA that I'm getting for my birthday so she'd tell me. Mini Kit can cash it in and buy a Wii."
Kirsten took a deep breath. "And Mini Kit told me the secret was that the Cheap Lady got a new girl and that she'd probably like her better than me!"
They heard some strange coughing come from the corner.
Nellie cleared her throat. "I think this scheme might have some flaws. Miss Mini Kit, I think the Wii's controller is as large as you are."
"If it's good exercise for people, I'll bet it's great exercise for mini dolls!" Mini Kit said.
"And Miss Kirsten," Nellie continued, "even if there were another girl here--which I maintain there isn't--no one could replace you! Also, your Roth IRA is intended for your own retirement. While you could cash it in for Miss Mini Kit, there may be tax consequences on the earnings, as well as a 10% early-withdrawl penalty. And besides, you didn't get a Roth IRA...although your present does have something to do with retirement.
"I still get her present!" Mini Kit said, secretly hoping it would be worth something on eBay. "She promised!" She opened the box...
this?" Mini Kit asked.
"Miss Kirsten," Nellie said, "it's a version of your retired dirndl outfit! Miss Cheap Lady didn't want to buy one on eBay but she made you one! The vest is reversible and it's all made out of some fabric that the bargain fabric store claimed was wool!"
Kirsten's eyes lit up with delight for a moment as she looked at the outfit. But then she sighed. "It doesn't matter. It's Mini Kit's now. I promised. She can sell it on eBay if she wants."
Mini Kit saw the sadness in Kirsten's eyes, and sized up the mediocre workmanship on the dirndl vest. She came to a generous decision.
"Kirsten," she said...
"I want you to keep your birthday present. It won't fit me, and it IS your birthday."
Kirsten's eyes lit up again. "Really? You can't take it back once you've said it!"
In a flash, she'd changed into her new outfit! Much to Nellie's delight, Kirsten didn't mind the pirate shirt a bit.
"Look how pretty I am!" Kirsten bragged.
Nellie chuckled, glad that Kirsten was finally happy. She went to put Kirsten's birthday dress away.
Nellie paused when she saw something amiss. "I didn't leave a shoe there..."
Then she realized it wasn't a shoe at all, but...
"Miss May!" Nellie whispered. "What are you doing here?"
"I didn't like hiding under the bed," May said. "Could you bring me a cookie, please?"
"Miss May," Nellie said, "Miss Kirsten's going to find you--"
"Who are you talking to?"
Kirsten appeared behind Nellie.
"No one!" Nellie said. "No one at all! Eeek!"
May appeared beside Nellie. There sure is a lot of appearing today.
(Please don't mind May's hair. Yours would be mussed, too, if you had been hiding from Kirsten for the last few months.)
"It's time I faced my fears," May said. "Kirsten, my name is May Douglas. I come from the 1920s. I'm not here to replace anybody, and it's quite obvious you are the favorite doll here. But as long as Miss Cheap Lady allows it, I'm staying."
Kirsten staggered back in bewilderment. "What?" She took a minute to collect her thoughts. "Why would the Cheap Lady want someone new to come?"
"I don't know," May said. "But I like it here. Nellie has been very friendly, and I think if I don't have to hide in closets and under blankets, it will be a nice place to live. I never would have gotten to meet an Edwardian girl like Nellie in my time."
"You can be pen-pals, then," Kirsten said. "Just go home!"
"I already told you, Kirsten, I'm not going. This is a better place than home, at least in some ways."
Mini Kit secretly thought that the 1920s must have been really terrible for May, if she would rather live with Kirsten than go back there.
Kirsten stayed silent for a minute. But since it was her birthday, she was feeling generous. "Okay. You can probably stay. Except..."
Kirsten brought Pegleg Sally over. "Can you get along with Pegleg Sally?"
"Pardon me?" May asked.
"She's my friend too," said Kirsten. "Even if I got mad at her earlier, since she didn't tell me anything about you. But looking at her expression, I can tell she never saw you before. I'm sorry I doubted you, Pegleg Sally!"
Pegleg Sally's silence said she forgived Kirsten too.
"But May," Kirsten added, "if you don't like her, you'll have to leave."
May blinked and glanced at Nellie. "That's a mannequin, isn't it?"
"No," Nellie said with an encouraging smile. "It's Miss Kirsten's friend, Pegleg Sally."
May slowly nodded. "I think I can get along with her."
"Okay!" Kirsten said. "Then welcome to Kirsten's Adventures!"
Kirsten glanced up at me. "But you will keep making me more clothes than May has, right? That's in her contract, isn't it?"
"Wait, wait, wait!" Mini Kit said. "If that's the new girl, then what happened to that mysterious purple fabric?"
"What mysterious purple fabric?" I asked.
"The fabric seen in this file photo!" Mini Kit said.
"Ah, well, that is, you see, budget constraints, and the schedule, and the high price of cotton, coupled with historical issues and transportation challenges, made the making of a garment unfeasible at the present, past, possibly future, pending further research and time wasted on Google..." I tried very hard to talk my way out of it, but Mini Kit wasn't convinced.
Red herring, or potential upcoming new dress for May? You be the judge!
("I get a new dress first!" Kirsten yelled.)

When we are more focused on the problem, rather than the solution, we can easily feel like this poem beautifully describes. The Muddy Puddle Written by Dennis Lee I am sitting in the middle Of a rather Muddy Puddle, With my bottom full of bubbles And my rubbers full of Mud, While my jacket and my sweater Go on slowly getting wetter As I very slowly settle To the Bottom of the Mud. And I find that what a person With a puddle round his middle Thinks of mostly in the muddle Is the muddiness of Mud. What are you Focusing on? When we feel stuck it is natural to focus on the overwhelming amount of Mud (Problems) that surround us. Many of us remain stuck because we are focused on the Problem rather than the Solution. Here's the point If we sit too long in the mud, we will get more and more discouraged about our situation. This creates feelings of overwhelm and helplessness. When our focus is on just the Mud (the Problem), we can become consumed by it. In addition, when we become fixated on all the mud that surrounds us it becomes next to impossible to 'snap' out of the spot that we feel stuck in. Questions to Ponder When surrounded by Mud (Problems) do you... Just Sit in the Middle of the Mud and Give Up? Or Get Up, Shake Off the Mud and Continue forward?

Islamic State of Iraq and Syria militants hammered, bulldozed and ultimately blew up parts of the ancient Iraqi Assyrian city of Nimrud, destroying a site dating back to the 13th century BC, an online militant video purportedly shows.
The destruction at Nimrud, located near the militant-held city of Mosul, came amid other attacks on antiquities carried out by the group now holding a third of Iraq and neighbouring Syria in its self-declared caliphate. The attacks have horrified archaeologists and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who last month called the destruction at Nimrud "a war crime."
The seven-minute video, posted late Saturday, shows bearded militants using sledgehammers, jackhammers and saws to take down huge alabaster reliefs depicting Assyrian kings and deities. A bulldozer brings down walls, while militants fill barrels with explosives and later destroy three separate areas of the site in massive explosions.
- Iraq PM vows to hunt down ISIS vandals who destroyed statues
- 10 historical sites destroyed by ISIS and why they matter
- ISIS fighters destroy priceless Iraq antiquities
"God has honoured us in the Islamic State to remove all of these idols and statues worshipped instead of Allah in the past days," one militant says in the video. Another militant vows that "whenever we seize a piece of land, we will remove signs of idolatry and spread monotheism."
The militants have been destroying ancient relics they say promote idolatry that violate their fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law, including the ancient Iraqi city of Hatra, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Authorities also believe they've sold others on the black market to fund their atrocities.
Some of the figures in the video released Saturday at Nimrud appeared to have rebar, ribbed bars of steels designed to reinforce concrete that are a technique of modern building. An Iraqi Antiquities Ministry official, speaking Sunday on condition of anonymity as he wasn't authorized to talk to journalists, said all the items at Nimrud were authentic. In March, both Iraqi and United Nations officials warned the site had been looted and damaged.
The video conformed to other Associated Press reporting about the militants' attack.
Assyrians first rose around 2,500 BC
The Assyrians first rose around 2,500 BC and at one point ruled over a realm stretching from the Mediterranean coast to what is present-day Iran. They left dozens of palaces and temples decorated with huge reliefs mainly depicting their kings' military campaigns and conquests, hunting lions and making sacrifices to the gods. Their main hallmark was the colossal winged man-headed lions or bulls, protective deities put at the entrances of palaces and temples weighing about 10-30 tons each.
Located on the eastern side of the Tigris River, Nimrud, or Kalhu, was founded in the 13th century BC During the reign of King Ashurnasirpal II, Nimrud served as the second capital for Assyrian Empire. Other Assyrian capitals were Ashur, Dur Sharrukin and Ninevah.
Excavations at Nimrud were first started by the British traveller and archaeologist Austen Henry Layard from 1845 to 1851, followed by other foreign and local excavation missions.
The city is surrounded by a four-side wall measuring eight kilometres long. Among the ruins are the grand palace of Ashurnasirpal II, as well as the temples of Nabu, the god of writing and the arts, and other temples.
Among the most significant discoveries at Nimrud were four tombs of royal women. There, a collection of 613 pieces of gold jewelry and precious stones were unearthed. They survived the looting of the Iraqi National Museum that followed the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 as they were kept in a vault at the Central Bank of Iraq building by Saddam Hussein's government.

Life is unbearable. But it is not what this is all about. This is all about wanting who you want to be with. It is only when a man chooses to sacrifice himself by dying for the woman he loves that he'll be able to remain forever inside her heart. Until you're ready to give up everything you hold dear except for the one person who truly matters to you, then you should stay on the safe side of things. Go with someone or some people who you can just Netflix and, you know, chill with and then proceed until one day you find yourself ready for that whole motive. For now, take inspiration from what they do at Team Skeet.
I think men fall in love because we are stupid. Those who disagree can excuse themselves from reading this post. We want to be happy, that's what we think. In truth, we are just discontented with whatever our freedom is worth. So don't fall in love just yet, okay? The moment you think it's getting to you again, do as much as you can to dismiss it.
There is so much that you can do, tasting the different flavors of women until a point in time will come when you will know exactly what you want from a woman or from what walk of life she would be. Only then will you get to realize that none of it will really matter because she comes out of spontaneity and that is something they imply here on this website — the videos reeling in a loop of casual sex encounters and each story, virtually that is, ends with the man smiling realizing that he has actually found the love of his life.
Don't surrender your freedom just yet given that Team Skeet has over 4,500 videos coming from various niche sites that will hint to you the lifestyle of a real thug. You have to embrace the cool thing which is the thug life. Sex with black and white women, even with Asian minorities. They're everywhere and it is in your choosing to take on that kind of path. These videos are rendered in various resolutions and with the latest updates, you get to enjoy the full HD roster.
We surrender this freedom because we think that when we are in love, we can be happy. The thing is, we are simply confusing the two. Freedom means happiness. And sometimes, happiness is in your lifestyle, not in the presence of someone. Better yet go with the flow, discreet stuff just as it goes with the Team Skeet.

Right, so hopefully by now all of us know WHO Thanos is and WHAT the Infinity Stones are. If not, then seriously man, what on earth are you doing here?! Go watch all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe NOW!!
There are 6 Infinity Stones in the Marvel Universe: The Power Gem, The Reality Gem, The Mind Gem, The Soul Gem, The Time Gem, and the Space Gem. Each one of these has unique abilities and gives the owner "mastery" over each aspect of the universe. When all 6 are combined together with one owner, it becomes an Infinity Gauntlet, giving the owner god-like powers and making him (or her) unstoppable. Or does it?
Here are 4 characters who I think can destroy Thanos, even with the might of the Infinity Gauntlet with him.
1. Dr. Strange
a.k.a. The Sorcerer Supreme. Dr. Strange is an extremely powerful character, with strong magic abilities. He can almost neutralise the effects of a few of the Infinity Stones such as the Time, Soul, and Mind gems. He can also transform matter, create illusions, teleport, and produce powerful energy blasts, which will prove more than a match for Thanos, Infinity Gauntlet or not. Doctor Strange also has the ability to channel the power of the gods.
2. The Hulk
Who better than the (in the famous words of Tony Stark), "enormous, green rage monster" if you need to hit someone? The Hulk is one of the most physically powerful beings in the Marvel universe. The angrier he gets, the more his strength increases. He is known to have destroyed entire planets and wiped out whole civilisations in just one single punch. Even with the power gem in his hand, Thanos won't be able to match Hulk in strength.
3. Shazam
I like to think of Shazam as kind of a mixture of Captain America and Doctor Strange. Along with the abilities of a super-soldier, some magical abilities, and not to mention super speed, flight, invulnerability, superhuman intelligence, super strength, amongst many other powers. This guy can just about do anything. He would have a good shot against Thanos.
4. Darkseid
Darkseid is like the Thanos of DC. Both have almost similar powers; super-strength, invulnerability, teleportation, energy blasting abilities, genius intellect, and combat strategy, combined with advanced technology, that about sums up Darkseid. Darkseid also possesses the Anti-Life Equation, which allows him to control and dominate all forms of life, using which he can do some serious damage to anyone, and Thanos is no exception. A match between Darkseid and Thanos should prove to be destructive (you don't say..), and could definitely see Marvel's Big Bad end up on the losing side.

Here's a random chick I found on Google that looks like me:
Except I have jet black hair and super dark eyes. I also have braces.
I really need a pair of glasses that I actually feel comfortable wearing outside. I've had all-metal frames---I feel way too studious-looking in them. The ones I currently wear at night are the "hipster" kind---chunky, black, plastic, and squarish. They're too big for my face. I've been really interested in getting round glasses but I keep reading they look best on sharp faces---I have a soft oval face.
Ugh. Help me please. I'm open to all suggestions---the more descriptive, the better. Color suggestions are appreciated too.
What glasses would be best for me?

And so here we find ourselves again, at the bittersweet end of yet another year of our lives. Sweet, with anticipation of good things and wonderful times yet to come, and bitter, for those we have lost along the way.
My heartfelt condolences to my readers who have lost those they love.
As usual here at Apropros of Nothing, we present for your consideration at this time, a list of celebrities who have passed from mortal life this year. It is by no means exhaustive or complete—simply those that produced an ache in my heart when I heard that they were gone.
We wish them well on their new adventures.
I would like to take this time to wish all the readers of my blog a very wonderful and safe New Year. May you and your families find much joy, happiness, peace, and prosperity in the comings weeks and months.
And most of all—all the Love, Luck, and Laughter that a human heart can hold.
Until next year then . . . I love you all.
We love you all, and we are gonna miss you; each and every one. Till we see you again . . . "Second Star to the Right, and Straight on 'til Morning."
The last dumb-joke of 2015:
Next up, next year . . . return to "The Reckoning."

Yes, we did it. We moved from our lake-side paradise in Ajijic, Mexico back to the good 'ol USA to San Diego and are still smiling… I won't bore you with the gory details and hiccups- you know how icky moving is.
The worst was being offline and disconnected for what seemed like forever. Our computers were transported in a large van which broke down on the way. Then waiting for DSL to get connected was another challenge. Then getting the two computers networked and our Packet 8 phone system that runs through DSL was another mystery.
Anybody have a solution to cord and cable chaos?
It all works now, somehow! I guess my husband Rob Krakoff is a minor genius in some ways afterall. I often wonder what just average people do when it comes to moving and getting computers and all working again… it seems to me to be beyond normal IQ capacities.
But then so did blogging and ezine publishing before I realized that there are systems set up for techno-weenies like myself.
Being disconnected for over a week presented a void in my life. I realized how dependent I've become on the cyber world. I'm not saying I need a recovery program, just that it sure makes business easier.
My teleclasses on ezines continues into the 3rd week tonight. Stay tuned for January's class on blogging where Denise Wakeman of NextLevel Partnership.com will take you through the actual steps to set up your own blog with Typepad.com.
Update on the Secrets to Successful Ezines e-book:
Good news, we are just about done correcting the formatting and Elge Premeau and I will be delivering your books this week!
In the meantime, keep writing, keep sharing, and let me know if I can review your articles and ezines: no cost or obligation involved. It's what I do.

One of the things I have always taught Benjamin and am now teaching Cava is that a closed mind shows open ignorance. Growing up, my Mom encouraged and nurtured a love for the arts in me. I loved to read and draw, so she took me to the local library constantly and to museums to see art. I was also exposed to a lot of different types of music in our house (classical, jazz, gospel, folk, blues, country, opera, blue grass, music of the 50's and 60's, show tunes), so I have a love for a variety of music (I also didn't grow up with MTV which makes me an anomaly of my generation. South Carolina didn't allow for MTV to be shown on TV).
When we went on trips, unlike the kids of today, we didn't have iPods to listen to, so we listened to whatever our parents listened to. Even today, whenever I hear The Beach Boys, I think about riding in my Mom's VW Bug with the windows down on our way to the beach.
I have tried to pass on this love of music to Benjamin. Around the house or driving in the car, I play what can best be described as eclectic since I just hit shuffle on my iPod so that it can play from any of my playlists: classical, jazz, world music, etcetera. This means they could be hearing Yo-Yo Ma one minute or Duke Ellington the next, Mexican musical duo Rodrigo Y Gabriela or Icelandic Sigur Ros, or Radiohead followed by The Carolina Chocolate Drops.
Benjamin used to balk at classical music until I told him to really listen to it and tell me what he imagined was happening, just as if this were the score to a movie that he created. He loved this and soon began to describe an elaborate story full of vivid imagery.
So, unlike many kids, Benjamin has a wider scope of music that he's not only been exposed to but that he loves to listen to on his iPod. How many other 13 year-olds have a playlist that includes everything from The Beatles to The Talking Heads to music from Les Miserables?
And Cava is slowly becoming the same way. He absolutely loves Regina Spektor (so long as she sings in English and not Russian). He likes island music, as well as anything with a dance beat to it. Recently I've begun playing jazz and, to my surprise, he likes Esperanza Spalding, especially when she begins to scat and breaks from traditional lyrics. As she did, he came up to me and asked, "What's that?" When I told him, he smiled and said, "I like that." Later, I heard him attempting to scat himself.
In the past, we have taken Benjamin to museums, including a visit to The Mint Museum in Charlotte to see an exhibit of Charlotte native Romare Bearden's work. As we walked around the crowded gallery, we would stop at different pieces and I would ask Benjamin what he thought the story of the painting was. Once again, it helped get his creative juices going and I loved hearing his take on a particular piece. He responded to the bright colors as well, which I also used to introduce him to the work of the artist Matisse.
When Benjamin was little, he came home from school all upset. I asked him what was the matter and he told me how the art teacher had told him he was doing his landscape all wrong.
How can an art teacher even use that term? So I inquired further and asked what the parameters were for the landscape. Did the teacher give certain criteria as to what she expected from the students. No, there were none. She only told them to paint a landscape. Benjamin had chosen nontraditional colors for his, such as purple trees and orange grass.
Irritated that a teacher would take it upon herself to call any artwork "wrong," I got out a few of my art books. I showed Benjamin landscapes by Chagall (purple goats, floating couples), Suerat (pointillism whereby the whole painting is a series of colorful dots), Monet (waterlilies), and Bosch (with his bizarre landscapes filled with fantastical creatures). "See," I told him, "how each artist views the world differently? And none of them are wrong. It's okay to see the world differently no matter what your teacher tells you." Here is a chalk drawing we did and I can see how it was inspired by the magical Chagall:
I have also encouraged Benjamin artistically by making short films with him that he's written the script for. Here's a short clip of one entitled "There's No Such Things As Little Boys" about a young monster who's afraid to go to sleep at night because he's afraid there's a little boy hiding in his closet or under his bed. Benjamin not only wrote the script, but he also drew the background and manipulated the puppets. He did this back when he was in elementary school.
One of the things I love most is that we get to expose Cava to so many new things culturally, especially in the arts. This is a boy who had not been given a chance to express himself creatively. He had never had the opportunity to work with crayons or paint or clay. Recently I bought Cava his own set of inexpensive paints so that he can not only finish his mural of Ukraine, but so he can also paint other pictures. I think this will help him both creatively in nurturing his imagination and emotionally, as it gives him a new outlet to express himself.
Recently, we went to Catawba Science Center and, afterwards, I decided to take Cava over to the museum side to see how he responded to the art. As we walked up the stairs to the gallery, he exclaimed, "Wow! Papa," as he glanced around.
He liked any painting that had an animal in it or was brightly colored. His favorite floor was the one with folk art. His favorite pieces were the airplane, which he spotted and yelled, "Airplane! Papa, airplane!"
And the octopus:
Although he did enjoy posing with the muscle man:
I was just glad that he could walk with me through a gallery and stop to look at a painting, no matter how momentarily.
Because he's shown an interest in drawing, I got all my How to Draw books (shout out to Ed Emberly) for Cava to use. He was especially interested in the one about how to draw cars and the one to draw superheroes.
The more he's exposed to art, music, and new experiences, the bigger Cava's world gets and, hopefully, he will begin to have an appreciation for a wide variety of cultural experiences. Besides, letting him learn to create can only improve his learning to communicate, not only verbally but visually. It also provides him the opportunity to talk about what he's drawn or painted.
Art is also a good way to help Cava develop his social and emotional skills. As educator and author MaryAnn F. Kohl wrote, "Art fosters positive mental health by allowing a child to show individual uniqueness as well as success and accomplishment, all part of a positive self-concept." This is definitely something that Cava needs.
For an excellent article on The Importance of Art in Child Development, here is a link to an article by Grace Hwang Lynch: http://www.pbs.org/parents/education/music-arts/the-importance-of-art-in-child-development/
And it doesn't matter if Cava never creates a masterpiece, since art is not about the product but the process. Besides, what I love about Cava painting a picture is that it is him expressing himself and how he sees the world and by listening to him explain this, it makes the world that much bigger to me as I begin to notice things through his eyes.

I remember a time when boys and girls were encouraged to go out in groups before dating one-on-one. Going out in groups gave everyone a chance to see how everyone else behaved in a variety of circumstances and with a variety of people. Double dating was encouraged. House parties were encouraged. Friendships developed. Somewhere along the way, we lost this, and skipped straight to, "He's popular and fine, she's funny and cute, let's go out on a date." The googly eyes started, then the handholding leading to kissing leading to…. And bam! Now they're dating. Or going steady. Or going out. Or boyfriend-girlfriend. Or whatever you called it.
And then they broke up.
Why? Well, heck…why not? They weren't even friends! They were infatuated! All of THAT was built on infatuation. And the sad thing is, WE STILL DO IT. We still date this way. I hang out with my female friends from time to time, but when I'm finally back out there hanging with my male friends, I want to have REAL benefits, and I'm not talking about sex. That's not a real benefit. At the wrong time, sex is a trap that makes you think something that isn't true and feel something that really isn't there, all at the expense of your mind, body, and soul, and to the sole benefit of someone else having a good time.
When I am finally hanging out in the company of men, I want to be friends. Just FRIENDS. Is that possible? It is for me because all things are possible through Christ Jesus Who strengthens me. I want to go out in groups, large or small, I want to go to house parties, I want to go to sporting events and tailgating; I want to find out who the heck these men really are before I even THINK about the possibility of romance. We all know that someone can be anyone when they are one-on-one with you. They can have the best manners, say the nicest things, even present themselves as "THE ONE." Well, I ain't lookin' for "THE ONE." In fact, I ain't lookin' at all! All I want is TRUTH. When I'm back in the company of men, I want to see who they really are, in their natural environments–so to speak. I want to see who they are with their friends, my friends, in different situations, and under a plethora of circumstances. No games. No performances. No pretenses. Just REAL.
How is it that if we can't even have good, clean fun with someone, that we actually believe that we can have good, clean sex with them that leads to a relationship? How is it that we are so willing to give up morsels of our mind, body, and soul for 30 mins of what we THINK is a good time? We can't get that 30 mins back and the sad thing is that in 30 mins, he might not even remember your name anyway!
A man should show you his heart long before you show him your body. And when you show him your heart, he should take care not to break it.
I don't know about you, but I'm at a place in my life where I believe I have given up enough of myself for "benefits." If it's not benefitting the kingdom, my goal is to have no part of it. If it's not presented in truth, wrapped in integrity, dripping with peace, and radiating kindness, it can keep walking. If there isn't patience, respect, mutual support and understanding, quality time, sharing and caring, honesty and transparency, then I don't have time for it. I don't need or want it.
Real friends have REAL benefits. And that's all I want.

1. I have a semi luggage addiction, which I have had to keep in check because I have too many addictions, and plus these luggage just takes up so much space (how do the Japanese collectors do it)? However I couldn't help but post this gorgeous Globe-Trotter trolley! If I didn't already have a few I would snap this one up!
I love everything about this trolley – the colors, which are totally standout, and of course that beautiful interior. Globe-Trotter has done a few of these collaborations with unusual interiors but this is one of the best I've seen. Just such a happy riot of color (now if only the price were happier…and I had a larger storage closet).
2. I know that we're supposed to bemoan Amazon taking over everything, but I was actually excited to read this article on the WSJ, describing how Amazon will be launching its own bras. I still am looking for the perfect simple bras and if anyone can do it for a fantastic price to boot, Amazon can (plus I'd love their review system for bras!).
3. An insightful article via the always excellent Vanessa Friedman of The NY Times, about what Riccardo Tisci's departure from Givenchy means for the larger fashion industry (did you know about Clare Waight Keller and Chloe? I missed this). Do you care about whether a house has a designer at the helm when you purchase items from the house (like the situation with Saint Laurent now)?
4. An interesting article, via Forbes, on The Ugly Unethical Underside of Silicon Valley. Fake it until you make it indeed!
5. This week I finished How To Lose Friends and Alienate People, by Toby Young.
This had been recommended to me by a reader, another "Conde Nastie" after I linked an article last week about Conde Nast that ran in the NY Times decades ago. I remember hearing about this book when it first came out years ago, and then again when the movie came out, but never got around to reading it, until now. I found it quite funny – a hilarious and often cutting take on life working at Vanity Fair, under Graydon Carter. Young really doesn't spare any punches when it comes to eviscerating people (which always makes for good reading), and you learn a wee bit more about how the magazine industry works (just a tad). Recommended for those looking for a light, funny read, who don't mind a hearty dose of British humor and whose favorite scenes on reality shows are the catty parts (that's me!).

WR Stefon Diggs Scouting Report -
Draft Insiders' 2015 Yearbook - Frank Coyle
Stefon Diggs was selected in the 5th Round of the NFL Draft 2015 by the Minnesota Vikings – One of the Best Values in the entire draft class
Frank Coyle ranked him the highest rated offensive sleeper in last year's class and a prospect with well developed talent to be an early contributor in three wideout sets.

Stefon Diggs - Maryland - 6-0, 195 - Sp. 4.45 - Rating 82 / Hindu Theory: Andre Caldwell
Agile athletic junior wideout has been a playmaker in the Terps offense since starting during his true freshman season. Earned ACC and Big Ten honors each season. He is a well-developed quick receiver with soft hands and body control to become a solid NFL performer. Possesses deceptive speed to get deep and the quickness to get open and separate in coverage. Good run after the catch ability with elusiveness to take the short hitch pass the distance. Though he lacks elite speed to be considered a consistent deep threat, he has learned to set up defenders, relying on his sharp cutting ability and reads to create separation. He runs good routes and comes out of his cuts quickly, showing the ability to retain his speed very well and adjust to coverage. He can round his cuts on routes and needs further discipline in his patterns. Dangerous on hitch and screen patterns where his quickness and elusiveness gives him an advantage over defenders. Fine ball skills with the body control and hands to make the difficult catch over the middle or at the sidelines. Despite average size, he has a wiry strong frame, but must prove durable vs NFL caliber corners weekly. Must improve his overall strength, though shows the ability to beat the jam and battle for ball. As a runner, he has some tackle breaking ability along with good elusiveness and speed to break plays that helped him double as a sure handed punt returner. Fluid receiver with natural AA and the body control to adjust to the errant pass and catch outside the box. Over the middle, he shows toughness with the ability to go up and make plays. As a route runner, he retains his speed well at the break point to make sharp cuts. Shows good footwork at the sidelines to make the tough catch to move the chains.
The Numbers: As a junior, he caught 62 passes for 792 yards for a 12.8 average and 5 TDs while starting 10 games. He served a 1 game sportsmanlike suspension. He earned Big Ten honorable mention. As a sophomore, he started 7 games and had 34 catches for 587 yards with 3 TDs with a season ending broken fibula at midseason.
Over his three year career, he totaled 150 receptions for 2227 yards a 14.8 yard average 14 TDs. At the NFL Combine, he came in at 6' and 195 lbs. and did not lift. He ran 4.46 time with a fast 1.53 ten yard split. He had a 35" VL and 9'9" BJ with a 4.32 short shuttle and 7.03 three cone.
The Skinny: Undervalued highly developed receiver with definite playmaking ability to be a weapon in three wideout sets immediately. He is similar to Andre Caldwell in body type, AA and development. Though he is not a legitimate deep threat, he can be sneaky quick and make big plays. With some development, he can surprise with the upside potential to start. Never lived up to the hype of a highly acclaimed recruit entering Maryland due to the lacked of a quality consistent passer. Great middle round value and a marginal top 100 prospect on my board, though could easily go later. Solid addition with the tools to start eventually in the right situation. One of the most underrated values in this entire class. Playmaker and excellent steal on early 3rd day.

Acute technical feasibility of an endoscopic duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve in a porcine model: a potentially novel treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes
- 202 Downloads
- Citations
The concept of endoluminal therapy for various disease states has gained significant attention. This report describes the authors' initial animal experience with a novel endoscopic duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve (DJBS) in a porcine model. The DJBS consists of an implant delivered endoscopically, anchored in the proximal duodenum, and extended into the jejunum. This device aims to mimic the intestinal bypass effects of Roux-en-y gastric bypass without the need for stapling or anastomosis and may offer novel therapeutic benefit for patients with obesity, type 2 diabetes, or both.
Five DJBS devices were delivered in five domestic, female Yorkshire pigs. The devices were delivered and retrieved the same day and left in situ for less than 1 h. The animals were kept alive for 4 days after explantation for evaluation of their general health after the procedure. After they were killed, gastric, duodenal, and jejunal tissues were examined and harvested for histologic assessment of any acute device or procedure-related effects.
Delivery of the implant took an average of 18 min (range, 10–38 min) and required an average fluoroscopy time of 8.1 min (range, 3.8–16.6 min). Retrievals were performed in an average of 7.4 min (range, 5–9 min) using fluoroscopy for an average of 2.3 min (range, 1.3–4.5 min). Followed for 4 days after explantation, the animals were normal and healthy. There were no pathologic findings in the explanted tissue.
The DJBS can be safely deployed and retrieved endoscopically. Future long-term survival studies are warranted to help define the role of promising technology.

In a recent blog post, Ruth answered a question about feeding raw parsley to baby where she mentioned phytonutrients. When it comes to phytonutrients (organic components of plants…thought to promote human health – thanks for the definition, WebMD!), which get destroyed during cooking, she mentions that it is better to use raw or steamed greens. Always remember to check the age-appropriateness of raw foods for your baby, though. As Ruth mentioned with parsley – no raw parsley until baby is 9 months old!
Phytonutrients are the big thing now that have been discovered and proven in studies to really be good for you, although not all are "essential" for life. They are the plant nutrients that you may have been hearing about – lutein, lycopene, etc.. The supplement manufactures have jumped in head first and there are now lots of pills with phytonutrients, but don't use the supplements. Use real whole food, which will have the entire realm of related phytonutrients in the proper proportions.
There's lots of info on the net, but use only trusted sites that use scientifically proven info. Here's a page you can trust: http://www.ars.usda.gov/aboutus/docs.htm?docid=4142 You are sure to hear more about phytonutrients from us in the near future!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, Super AMOLED Plus, 1.4Ghz Dual-core, Honeycomb 3.2 with TouchWiz UI
Wow, Samsung can make 7.7" Super AMOLED Plus screens and this new tablet of theirs is thin and quite light. Not the lightest 7" tablet 335gr as the Archo 70 Internet Tablet released last year is 300gr. Also, while it's thin and light, they did make it slightly wider in size which seems to make it harder to fit it in all the jacket pockets, that's too bad. But, the design is not final, maybe before they release it they manage to cut a few millimeters off the bezel to make it fit in jacket pockets. This tablet runs Honeycomb 3.2 nicely but with some TouchWiz UI customizations, this is no vanilla Android.

I have been defending, to the disapproval of most of our commenters, the Supremes' striking down of the part of the McCain-Feingold law that forbade advocacy organizations organized as corporations from making any electioneering-type statements during the period prior to an election. I do agree, however, that if restrictions on campaigning are to be loosened — and I would loosen them much more than the Supremes have, including getting rid of contribution caps (Eugene McCarthy would have been almost impossible if they had been in place when he challenged LBJ in 1968; his campaign was mostly funded by GM heir Stewart Mott, who in my mind had the right to spend his money as he wished) — then full disclosure of who is financing both candidates and independent expenditures is justified and necessary.
The Sunlight Foundation, a recent addition to the panoply of advocacy (that's lobbying) outfits in Babylon-on-the-Potomac has a pretty good set of proposals to this end. They argue that current disclosure laws are not adequate to today's technology and the brave new world the high court has ushered in. They propose seven reforms:
1) Requiring corps and unions to file independent expenditures with the FEC, 2) reports to the SEC on corporate expenditures on politics, 3) tightening lobbying disclosure laws to require real-time online disclosure of contacts, 4) requiring ads to have full and clear disclosure of who paid for them 5) monthly instead of quarterly campaign finance reports filed electronically, 6) Tough sanctions for those who break disclosure rules, 7) info posted in a searchable, sortable, downloadable, machine-readable format. One might quibble with a point or two or want to see actual language before endorsing such disclosure laws, but these look like a pretty good starting-point.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Medical Grade Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) Market - Forecast To 2024" report to their offering.
The global medical grade ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) market is expected to reach USD 1.36 billion by 2024. The effectiveness of the material in medical implants due to its superior properties such as high impact strength, low reactivity, and good flexibility is expected to drive the demand over the forecast period.
UHMWPE is a material having long chains which enable it to efficiently transfer load, thus making it suitable for implantation applications. The material is extremely pliable and has good impact strength. The material has less weight as compared to metals. All these properties have increased the demand for UHMWPE for medical applications in the recent past, and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period.
Joint replacement surgeries use ultra high molecular weight polyethylene due to its effectiveness and versatility options. There has been a surge in demand for joint replacement surgeries across the globe. Rising geriatric population, changing lifestyle and lack of fitness are the contributing factors for this trend. This trend is expected to benefit the overall demand over next eight years.
North America dominated the global industry and accounted for over 35% of total demand in 2015. Existing medical infrastructure and demand for replacement surgeries particularly in the U.S. are the primary attributed reasons for this scenario

PPN Throws Birthday Party for Jayne Kennedy OvertonEntertainment, Sports — By Buddy Sampson on October 31, 2016 at 1:07 pm
By Buddy Sampson
Jayne Kennedy Overton, who was a groundbreaking broadcaster in the formerly male-dominated world of sports broadcasting, was given a party to celebrate her 65th birthday by the Pro Players Network in the exclusive Lafayette Square area of Los Angeles.
"Pro Players Network is the first TV digital network that is 50% co-owned by every living current, retired NFL, NBA and WBA player, "said Glen Harvey, CEO of Pro Players Network(PPN). "What we do is we feature everything off the court and off the field that players like off the court and off the field."
Harvey mentioned that NFL players such as Ndamukong Suh and LaMarr Woodley made substantial investments to get the network off the ground. PPN has the distinction of being the first sports network to be debuted on a popular social media platform. "About three months ago, we struck a deal with Facebook to be the first network exclusively with Facebook, so you could only find PPN on Facebook," said Harvey. "So we're the first network in history that's launching exclusively on Facebook."
Jayne Kennedy Overton's Birthday soiree attracted several sports stars, actors and entertainers. Among them were former NFL players Lynn Swann and Tony King, who also acted in several movies, actor Art Evans, Marla Gibbs, Billy Davis and Marilyn McCoo (formerly of The Fifth Dimension), Freda Payne, Kathleen Bradley-Redd, Media personality Ron Brewington, Leon Isaac Kennedy, Bill Overton, Norwood Young and several others.
