Do you wonder why many famous discoveries and companies started from the garage? And to start off with the novel work what you need is a workbench which you will have to design and build it yourself. Consider it the first step towards a famous discovery or a foundation of a future MNC.
Garage Workbench Plans
To start off, have a nice plan of the work. Draw out the design and organize the requirements of the project. Having some skills in handling tools and wood works are added advantage.
You can always have your own workbench idea drawn or get it from internet and magazines. One great way to have your own blueprint is to get design ideas from different sources and modify it to suit your need.
Garage Workbench – Neat & Tidy
Having a rough idea of the dimensions of the garage where you plan to place the workbench is a must as with any other interior design plans. It will help you decide on how much space should be left free and how much to be occupied as work area. In short it is a smart space utilization strategy. There are few points you might want to consider while designing your workbench.
- Decide a place where the workbench will be installed after getting a brief idea of the space available. As garages normally are congested place by itself having a smart workbench that will be fully functional yet occupy minimum space.
- Keep the workbench organized with proper places for each equipment and tools. You may have hooks that can be used to hang some small tools or have a drawer that are neatly organized so that the work area is a neat place to brainstorm and bring the plan on paper to reality.
- Workbench should be durable enough from regular damage. It is wise to select sturdy materials like hardwood or combinations of wood that are strong enough for hardy jobs. Investing on durable material will be rewarding for a long term.
- Make the workbench as comfortable as possible so that you can spend a long time working on the job in hand. You can design this starting with a comfortable height of the bench. Also, take into account the space that will be available for work so that you have a cozy space.
- A customized workbench is always a better choice than a ready-made one. Customizing it allows you to have a workbench that is personal and tuned to the job requirement. Moreover building your own is always rewarding and positively drive you from inside.
- Modern equipment needs electrical power and hence you should always keep in mind to install some electrical outlets of different capacity. Do not depend on extension cords as they are not liable to be considered for insurance claims in case of accidents and on the other hand it is aesthetically an eyesore to have loose wires running around.
- If you have plans of carrying heavy materials from a delivery truck to the work bench then it is smart to consider a minimal distance from the garage door to the workbench.
Simple workbench with shelving
Build a Garage Workbench
The DIY option of building a workbench is a flexible means of customizing your own personal area. A good decision when you build the workbench is to attach it permanently to the wall studs. This will not only make it much sturdier but will also present you an easy option of dismantling it I case of renovation or re-customization as needed.
DIY Workbench
Storage space is the next thing to be well-planned apart from the work bench. The smarter you plan the storage the more productive your work can be. Make space to keep materials like tools and raw materials in place and easily accessible place. The underneath of workbench can be modified into shelves for storage and keep supplies and garage materials. Cabinets can also be installed above the workbench for extra storage space. And as mentioned earlier you may also consider hanging some tools in a decorative manner.
Garage workbench with wooden table
Having done all the groundwork and charted out the garage storage plans it is time to look for materials and equipment to start the work. Always keep to the bare minimum and do not over purchase supplies for fabricating the garage workbench and storage space. The extra materials will again need space to be stored if that cannot be returned to the shop and it is waste of money. Calculate the budget so that you do not stop in between and wait for a next funding. Consider buying things in bulk rather than running to and fro for small items, this will save money and time.
Now you are all set to jump into your first project of a garage workbench. Always keep the design handy and follow the instructions. You will have a lovely, sturdy work area for the most innovative discovery.

With a brand-new Killzone game just unveiled for the PlayStation 4, Dan Jenko argues that the futuristic first-person shooter franchise has the potential to be as significant for Sony as Halo is for Microsoft.
I think GG have been trying to do that from the very beginning of the franchise's inception. Easier said than done though.
What a great ide- er... wait, hang on... wasn't that ALWAYS the point of Killzone anyway?! Which makes the point of this article kinda... silly.
Sony really needs to advertise Killzone better. Halo has the notorious Mountain Dew and Doritos promotions, endless TV Commercials, Ads Everywhere (YouTube, Stores, Time Square, etc), heck they also had huge promotions with AXE and 7-ELEVEN (bigger than the one Killzone had with 7-ELEVEN, they had a full fledged online game to go with it).
Another reason Halo is so popular now is its user generated content, allowing for endless community maps, screenshots, clips, etc. With the PS4 and the share button, it looks like Sony is headed in the right direction.
Sony Should Make Killzone Their Very Own Halo"
My god this BS again? Why do people continue to call games the killer? For example... multiple games of PS brand have been hyped as a Halo Killer ( exemple : Killzone 2) Halo can't be killed. It is a title that exists and has been successful (wildly successful). No game will ever change that hence no game will ever kill it.
SHM, a sucessful game can't be killed unless the conqueror somehow makes the conquered sell negative numbers and go back to zero.
In short, drop the "killer" shit. It's old already.
Below: matching and killing are same shit.
If Sony wants to make Killzone their Halo, they better advertise it. Halo gets a ton of advertising and I've never seen a Killzone advertisement on TV in my life. This game has so much potential, especially know as a launch title, Sony would be idiots to not let the masses now about this game. It's a true representation of what next generation technology is capable of bringing in terms of graphics.

After EMDR Therapy in Temecula for Sexual Assault and Panic …I'm better at being MYSELF"
Author: BT, reprinted with her permission
"I'd thought that I had everything under control,
"I'd thought that I had everything under control, that the traumatic events of my past had all been 'managed." I'd successfully built my walls around several sexual assaults. I thought I'd fully understood and come to grips with my 'abandonment' issues.
"Then suddenly I didn't have everything under control.
"My marriage began to suffer, my job became a nightmare. I couldn't sleep. I began to hate my life and I couldn't find any joy in the world. Then I had my first panic attack at work. Luckily a coworker took me to the ER and even luckier, the ER doctor recognized the panic attack and recommended therapy. That's when I found EMDR.
"I had built my walls, but I'd never faced my traumas. And without facing them and resolving them, they would always stand in the way of my ability to be ME. They stood in the way of even knowing who 'ME' was.
"It wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done in my life. EMDR opens up the past very thoroughly. Like a wound that's been safely covered for years, ripping off that covering to actually allow the wound to heal is scary. The pain of sudden exposure is real. But it's short-lived. And the healing is so very worth it!
"I can truly say from the depth of my soul, that not only is my life better after EMDR therapy…I'M better. I'm better as a wife, a mother, a business person…I'm better at being MYSELF.
"I can finally say that I didn't deserve those terrible things that happened to me, and even better, I finally FEEL it and KNOW it to be true.
"Take the chance. It will change your life!" BT, 30 year-old professional/mother/spouse
NOTE: We have highly qualified EMDR therapists in Temecula who can help with the issues you have regarding stressful or bad experiences, including trauma. Please link to the Temecula page of our Riverside County Directory:

Food is an important part of travel and culinary exploration is an essential part of my itinerary, wherever I go! I tend to become very courageous in my experiments with cuisines during travel and being a non-vegetarian helps. Although my stomach does not agree with too spicy or oily foods but I still try to taste the local cuisine and delicacies particular to the place I am visiting. The experiments lead to some amazing experiences and some not-so-sweet ones as well. Nevertheless, they form incredible memories!
On one such travel to Andamans, I learnt a couple of interesting things:
Be prepared to face the consequences of your experiment
Beaches are synonymous with sea-food. Being an inhabitant of North India visiting a beach for the first time, I was excited to try seafood. For us Punjabis, seafood means fish. When I saw a variety of fresh seafood there, my taste buds went berserk. Prawns were a delight. I even ordered crab which I had no idea how to eat. My husband and I kept looking at the crabs on our plates and the crab mallets lying at the side. After trying to break and understand what to eat and what to leave, we sat exhausted after twenty minutes, with little in our stomachs and much on the plate. As a last resort, we called the waiter and requested him sheepishly to help us out. He looked at the mess on our plates and (I know he was suppressing a smile) helped us very patiently and calmly. Eating a crab is not a child's play.
The next day, despite the previous day's misadventure, we both were not bogged down. Back at our favourite table in the four star restaurant, we went a step further and decided to order lobsters. The only issue was that the price was not mentioned and only 'as per size' was written. We again summoned the waiter who informed us that the price depended on the size of the lobster that we chose. He went away after telling us that he would help us make a choice. A little while later, I saw my husband smile mischievously. Before I could turn and see what was behind me, the waiter returned with two lobsters, one smaller than the other, both ALIVE! One look at the shining purple lobsters moving around, I gulped and turned green. My husband saw the look on my face and asked him to take the lobsters back. I could hardly eat any seafood that night or on the rest of the trip. You may call me a hypocrite for that but I just could not!
The bladder can be your biggest foe
Keeping your 'spirits' high during celebrations is good but comes with its side-effects and I am not talking about those on the liver and your consciousness levels. Alcohol is also a diuretic and sends your bladder into an overdrive. After celebrating with wine during the trip, I discovered that twenty kilometres can be very long when you have downed a couple of glasses. When you have chosen the exquisite restaurant that lies on the outskirts and the path does not have petrol stations on the way, you can end up hating your choice. It made me learn one important thing- remember to factor in the travel distance whenever you decide to clink glasses for a toast!
That doesn't mean I don't experiment anymore. I still do…for ….
"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore."
The quote really suits here, especially so when I am talking of the ocean, beaches, and seafood. What do you say? 🙂

La Boheme: c'est moi.
(La Boheme: it's me.)
This is just a short intro of who I am. If you'd like to learn more about me, please visit my personal blog BohemianTranscendence.com on which I talk about philosophy, life, and, of course, myself.
I first claimed I could cook at age 19, just when I started doing regular strength. Of course, at that time, my idea of cooking was limited to knowing how to make a good lettuce salad and how to grill chicken. I was probably one of the few people on earth who didn't mind eating the same meal over and over and over again. Things changed about two years later when I moved to the U.S. and discovered in cooking a way of preserving my culture. Preparing traditional dishes for dinner parties with friends or for the holidays was how I expressed part of myself as an individual. Without noticing, I slowly picked up more and more recipes and even began to (successfully) improvise with my own ones.
Nowadays, I continue my "studies" in the domain of cooking, always looking to combine healthy with tasty, while living what I describe as a modern bohemian lifestyle. And of course, I hope to share with you what I enjoy sharing so much with my friends.
Welcome to my BohemianKitchen.
PS: On the picture, I am at a friend's house, holding a delicious French Tarte Tatin, seconds before turning it upside down.Close

The presence of the advisory group at CAA's London headquarters highlights the continuing concerns about Thomas Cook's financial strength following its emergency cash call last month.
Although A&M leads the Lehman Brothers administration in the US, it is not seen as an expert in liquidations or administration in Europe. Its work with the CAA is thought to be focused on protecting the regulator's interests should Thomas Cook's financial problems worsen.
As an effectively unsecured creditor, the aviation regulator is concerned over the holiday company's "financial fitness" in two key areas: its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (ATOL) agreement; and whether there are any potential grounds for revoking its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC).
The ATOL bond protects customers in the event that a tour operator goes bust, reimbursing monies paid for future holidays and repatriating tourists stranded abroad. All ATOL licensed operators pay £2.50 per passenger into a scheme managed by the Air Travel Trust fund.
The CAA is particularly concerned because the fund is already about £40m in the red after the collapse of other operators, including XL Airways and Goldtrail. The failure of a major operator like Thomas Cook could put a big hole in the fund, potentially forcing the Government to intervene.
As for the AOC, the CAA is obliged to ensure that Thomas Cook's financial problems could not in any way imperil aircraft safety.
In such a context, the aviation regulator is also anxious to ensure that any break up of Thomas Cook, via the sales of businesses or assets, does not weaken its ability to meet its CAA obligations.
A&M, which is effectively shadowing the role Ernst & Young is carrying out for Thomas Cook's 17-strong banking syndicate, is also expected to review whether the holiday company could give certain creditors – such as aircraft lessors – a security over businesses or assets, so disadvantaging the CAA.
Senior lenders generally seek protection on this issue in any banking agreement with tour operators via so-called "negative pledge" clauses. They ensure that lenders' rights cannot be subordinated to any other creditor.
A&M declined to comment. A spokesperson for the CAA said: "We never comment on the financial position of any ATOL holder. Anybody who books an ATOL-protected holiday in the UK can be confident their money is fully protected by the CAA."
Shares in Thomas Cook, which has issued three profit warnings this year, crashed 75pc in a single day a fortnight ago when the 170-year-old tour operator admitted that it was close to breaching banking covenants.
But Thomas Cook was last weekend thrown a lifeline by its banks, with the cash-strapped holiday group negotiating a new £200m revolving credit facility with the 17 lenders.
It replaced a £100m short-term loan agreed in October, but came at the price of handing its lenders 4.9pc of the company and agreeing to carry out a strategic review.

Kaziranga National Park a world heritage site, the park hosts two-thirds of the world's Great One-horned rhinoceros. Kaziranga also boasts the highest density of tigers among the protected areas in the world and was declared a Tiger Reserve in 2006. Though sighting of tigers are difficult because of the tall grasses that provide excellent camouflage, their presence can be felt everywhere by way of pug marks, kills and territorial markings.

I really really like this guy, and he likes me. We can't date though. My mom knows I like him, and his mom doesn't like me cuz, u no, im friends with her son. Her last son btw. He's the last child so of course she's really overprotective. And i can't blame her. Anyway, i can't date till I'm 16, and he can't date till ever, so you see the problem. We're both 15. We don't go to the same school, but I c him twice a week at bible study and the Sunday services at our church. We take care of two-year olds for the next service. Anyway, there is so much sexual tension between us that you could scoop it out of the air, put it in jars, and sell it. And don't even suggest it. I'm not going to go behind my parent's back.

text: Don't shoot me, can't help it.... But today I spotted a 'hidden treasure' with a customer of mine. Down in his garage, under the house there was a BMW 635CSi, white colour, first owner. He only drove her himself, but he drove her for 450.000 km (appr. 300.000 miles). No longer registered. I love those cars. They're icons. They were fast, good, ahead of their time end 70's. Unfortunately the car was hidden under blankets, only the 635CSi badge, the rims (also original!!) and the wonderful shape of the body could be seen. He didn't drove her anymore because she's to fast for todays' traffic. Now he own a dull Ford Focus. The guy's far in his 70's.

Seriously, the only boss I'd seen as an avatar before was Marrowgar. XD
My highlights:
Marrowgar always follows me during Bone Storm. I swear, I can't get away from him.
I must have been watching the 25man versions of Lady Deathwhisper, because it was totally not as complicated on 10man as I thought.
Gunship: I was relieved that the jetpack has a target mechanic and doesn't just boost your own jumping. I've only failed once on Thaddius (due to massive lag) and I was determined not to fail-jump ship. Except I stayed on the boat, so it's good.
Saurfang = I got to CC! Yay Demonic Portal for kiting.
Blue Gas Frogger = fail walking out first and just dying. Then I realized it was Frogger 2.0. Oops.
Precious & Stinky weren't as awful as I've heard stories. Then again, this is "only" 10man.
Festergut was cool, I got to cuddle with Jin & Liss whenever the spore came out and I vomited a few times.
Rotface was interesting, though I got debuffed in the middle of or just after a phase transition so I had a minor "OMFG WHERE IS THE OT" heart attack.
Putricide took a few wipes, partially because I hadn't done it before. On one of the wipes I died due to bad luck (bouncing ooze while I was green-ooze-linked = >.< FUCK), so Liss tried to brez me, but…uh…that gas phase thingy hit, and I rezzed into a DoT that wtfpwned me before I could hit the healthstone. Sucky part = my healthstone got counted as used. WTF BLIZZ. But yeah…once I got the hang of all the moving and junk, Putricide was hilarious fun. I could seriously do that fight all day and not get bored.
Blood Princes were a little frustrating in the beginning. I had disco ball duty, and at first I thought the orange balls were part of the deal, but it's just the white ones. I also had issues when both balls appeared on my side of the room and I was supposed to get them because it just took a "little more effort." Yeah. Felpuppies don't run quickly, and the balls almost always spawned on the complete opposite side from me (i.e., I was at the top running away from the blast thing, the ball spawns near the door). I eventually got it to siccing Bheez on the *far* or higher up ball while I ran to & SB'd the near ball.
Blood Queen…well, we ran out of time and had some funny dumb wipes, but from what I did of it, it sounds cool. I was on the list to be bitten, but I never got bitten. Though, I do need to check if the vehicle bar will pop up in Dominos — it usually does, but apparently this is where your biting ability comes up when you go nuts. We got to phase 2 and had a MC'd pally running around. I wondered if I could Fear him or what, but twas a wipe anyway.
They kept telling me to roll on stuff so I can gear up for 25mans. I got Soulcleave Pendant & Bloodstained Surgeon's Shoulders. They kept trying to get me to take the wand, but Pawn & eyeballing it told me mine was better. Sadface at Gunship not dropping the Icecrown Spire Sandals…it's either those or me saving up for Sandals of Consecration (1+5 primordial saronite) in order to replace my Naxx 25 Boots of Persuasion.

Christian writers are often posed the questions:
"Why fiction when you could be writing nonfiction?"
"If you feel writing is a ministry, then why are you putting your
time and effort into fiction?"
"A real Christian would be writing something with real sustenance, not fiction."
I used to swallow my displeasure with those questions and compose a gracious response that sounded like I was playing defense for a losing team.
Not any more. I'm proud of what I do and not ashamed of my purpose. After years of following my passion for communicating the written word through story, I simply term the individual questioning my life's work as a "low information reader." They mean well. Isn't nonfiction the means by which people learn how to live life to its fullest and better themselves?
Not necessarily.
How many abused women purchase books about how to prevent a beating? Do those women reach for information on a retailer's shelf about abused victim's legal rights, or counseling, or finding courage in the midst of pain?
How many victims of human trafficking find freedom by asking their captor to buy them a book about overcoming trust issues or how to escape an inappropriate relationship?
How many addictions were resolved by forcing the sufferer to read a book about drug abuse?
How many marriages were saved because a woman shoved a counseling book into her husband's face? How many relationships survived because a man insisted his wife read books about how to cook, clean, child care, etc?
I think you get the picture. It's unlikely any of the above examples found solace, peace, answers, escape, or courage in a nonfiction book because they were either too frightened to be found reading it, or they simply weren't interested. But that victim could read a novel about abuse, human trafficking, an addiction, or a failing marriage and learn how someone changed and grew into a better person. A novel provides hope and inspires the reader to make needed changes.
A novel is a non-threatening environment that offers sound solutions to real problems. The abuser, the captor, the addicted person, or the unfaithful spouse will not feel exposed when their victims engage in a novel. The writer plants the seeds of change and subtlety challengers the reader to grow beyond her own world.
If the suggestion of using story to change dire circumstances sounds familiar, then you've read your Bible. Jesus used stories to convict, teach, and comfort the people to whom He ministered. He orchestrated a means of entertainment through culture to reach the people of His day. Story still meets a psychological or spiritual need in 2014, and I believe story will be a means of helping people until this earth ceases to spin.
I challenge the novelist to explore the passions of her theme and premise. Don't be afraid to tackle the tough issues with grace and truth within the pages of an excellent story.

The head of the company that last week boasted it had created the world's first cloned human now says it may not produce DNA proof of its claim, a French TV network reported yesterday.
Brigitte Boisselier, CEO of Clonaid and a "bishop" of the oddball alien-worshipping Raelian cult that runs it, told France-2 a decision on whether DNA tests will be performed would be made by the infant's American parents.
"The parents told me they needed 48 hours to decide yes or no," she said.
Last Thursday, when she announced the birth of 7-pound baby Eve, Boisselier promised reporters, "You will have all the proof you need in about eight days."
Former ABC-TV science editor Michael Guillen, who was at her side, said he would have "independent world-class experts" perform DNA tests on the mother and child.
But yesterday, Boisselier said, "The parents have gone home and just want to have some peace and spend time with the child."
She would not say where home is, where the baby was born, or anything about the infant's 31-year-old American mother.
Boisselier, whose cult believes aliens created humans through genetic engineering, said a second human clone would be born in Europe today or tomorrow.

We just got back from our 7 day Mediterranean cruise. It stopped at 5 ports, but only 4 due to weather conditions, but that's not what I am talking about now. So, let me give you a little background. I had been to Florence, Italy in the year 2001 and now, 15 years later, I am HAPPY TO TELL YOU it is STILL beautiful, magical, and as vibrant as I remember.
So aside from the usual monuments which are incredible to anyone visiting, whether your first time or not, there is something new to the city. And as much as I am against meaningless tagging and graffiti, this "street art" was just too fun for me to pass up. It all started at the beginning of our walking tour with Sam.
You can read more about him here http://samtheguide.it/ and one of the fellow walkers was taking a picture of something on a wall, so I walked over to him and saw why he was taking a photograph. As the tour went on, he and I would point out spottings of this "street artist" and snap snap away we did.
After returning to ship, I did a little internet surfing and found the name of this artist is BLUB – and let me tel you, to ask what the BLUB is that over there, is to just add to the mystery, magic and truly explosive art scene in Florence, Italy.
For further reading on the artist, please click the information below and ENJOY! and please try to OPEN your mind to this type of art!!!
Undercover Interview With Italian Artist Blub

I was curious about life coaching and always felt I could be helpful in that field. My life experiences have prepared me in many ways to understand issues people are dealing with. A few years ago, I volunteered at our local low power radio station and met the wives of a couple of the guys working there. These two ladies, Laura and Terri, were both practicing 'life coaches.' I realized that my long marriage with Dean Evenson has taught me about relationships; raising children about parenting; our 'decade of intentional poverty' and living in a school bus about simple living; running our music label, Soundings of the Planet, about being a successful business owner and entrepreneur; my own life path about healthy living. I had a lot of life experience, but I didn't know yet how to translate that into being a useful life coach.
Laura and Terri invited me to join the Northwest Corner Coaches Meetup group and I got to know a lot of people in the field. We networked and put on events to raise awareness about the coaching profession. I then trained to be guide and lead AARP Life Reimagined Checkups to help people through the inevitable changes that life presents, especially for people over fifty. After that, I was able to get professional training with Impact Coaching Academy and was fortunate that Terri was my teacher. In the course, I got a full overview on how to be a coach and all that entails on a professional level and recently I received my official Life Coach Certification. I now have several clients and still have some 'pro bono' clients who I am working with for free to give me more experience and hopefully in the process, put my new skills to use in helping them move forward in their lives.
This past weekend, Terri and I led the AARP Life Reimagined Checkup here in Bellingham. We had a great turnout and people got to go through a process of looking at their passions, values, skills and experiences to choose 'what's next' in their lives. This coming Saturday (May 21, 2016), our Northwest Corner Coaches group is sponsoring a free COACHING CAFÉ where we will share more about the coaching field, introduce people to some local coaches and offer the ability to sign up for free coaching sessions to those who attend. Click here for details.I guess you could say I am 'hanging up my shingle' and my door is open for new coaching clients. I usually do the sessions on the phone or on Skype so I can work with people anywhere in the world. The conference system I use also records the coaching call, partly for training purposes, but mostly for the client to listen to again and remember all the things we talked about. A 45-minute session flies by and we cover a lot. If you are interested in getting coached by me, please let me know. I would love to share some of my experience to help you live your dreams. I am a big believer in dreams and have been fortunate to be living mine so I want to help you manifest your dreams too!

The blog has been very baby-centric lately. I would say it would change soon, but I can't make that promise. I'm just going to keep going with posting whatever and however I feel. I'm in my last week of Best Body Bootcamp (my second round) and I'll be signing up for the next round. I can't wait!
What's new this month?
- Rocking on all 4s.
- Planking.
- Trying to move forward. She does mountain climbers and occasionally moves an arm forward. I think she'll be crawling forward (at least somewhat) in a couple weeks.
- Eating more foods.
- Saying dada all day long. Also says "ya", hay", "ca", "hi" <– what sounds like hi
- Pulls up to stand. She hasn't tried this anywhere else besides her crib yet. If she sits in front of you she will hold onto your hands and pull herself up. (We lowered her crib a couple weeks ago.)
- Swim class! She LOVED it the first week. Liked it the second week. She loves to kick her feet like a froggy.
- She waves. I know this sounds ridiculous. I didn't admit she was waving until last week when my friend finally convinced me. She does this open hand sideways/upside down wave. It's hysterical.
- She claps like crazy and is super proud of it.
- Olivia loves watching cars go by, sitting on our stoop, watching kids.
- She LOVES her little Radioflyer wagon. We go for walks in it usually once a day.
In the past 2 weeks this has gotten a lot better. Liv has tried a lot more food and is open to trying foods with texture now. She has tried a lot more food since last month, including turkey, chicken and salmon. All of which she liked. She also had homemade pizza (cheeseless because I was nervous about choking) and went crazy for it. I also have added back in oatmeal and mix it with some Stonyfield baby yogurt. I usually give her 1/3 of a container and mix that with oatmeal and carrots. She's also tried zucchini, eggplant, blueberries, butternut squash and more but I can't think. I usually will give her pieces of whatever we are eating and then some purees. We attempt 3 meals a day. Breakfast and lunch are usually better than dinner. I also bought Happy Baby puffs. She has just started to really get the hang of picking them up and getting them to her mouth. I'll put out 8-10 and maybe 4 will make it in her mouth. Some get in her mouth and come back out too. If we're out during lunch I'll bring a pouch with me. I buy whatever organic ones are on sale or I'll bring my own reusable pouch (review coming soon!).
She's in mostly all 6-12 but can still fit into some 3-6 onesies and pants from the Gap.
Read about our sleep training saga part 1 and part 2. We're still getting up usually once a night for feedings. She still takes between 2-3 naps a day depending on what time she wakes up and the length of her naps. Her bedtime is between 6:30-7 depending on when she wakes from her last nap.
We don't go to the doctor until 9 months! I always forget to update her height and weight, so at 6 months she was 15.12 pounds and 26 3/4 inches. Not sure what she is now.
Things that amaze me:
I've been thinking a lot about those first few months. When I was really in the thick of it in the first few months I was going through the routine. I was happy and overjoyed but a lot of the time it was almost boring. I am SO grateful I had a pretty easy and predictable baby. But the social interaction is so limited when you first have a baby. I don't think I really realized it until this past month. It almost feels like foggy? Does that make sense? I wouldn't say I really experienced too much sadness..maybe some days here or there but nothing consistent. But I would say not looking back I don't really know how I got through the day to day monotony. I don't even know if I'm making sense, but I figured I'd put it out there in case any moms at home are like when does this end? I would say 4 months when Liv started to really show personality and interacted more is when life started to get more interesting.
I don't want to make it seem like it wasn't wonderful, because it was. I really enjoyed my little baby. I'm just saying that when Olivia got a little older and could play a little more it was more fun. Now she laughs and "chats" and plays. We talk and sing and explore. And don't get me wrong…we still have tough days too but they are fewer and farther between. And sometimes they aren't so much rough days as in rough hours.
Check out Liv in the water:
I think that's all for this month! If I think of anything else I'll update it!

Televisions Buying Guide
Which one do I need?
Flat screen televisions are much cheaper than they used to be and have all but replaced the traditional television. They're also slimmer, slicker and compatible with both Digital TV, High Definition and, in increasing number, 3D Television. While the television industry is working hard to impose a standard way of viewing television, there are still a lot of options to consider when choosing the set-up for your living room entertainment. And with big events such as the World Cup looming, there is no better time to get clued up.
Plasma Screens
Plasma screens are older than LCD screens and are made from hundreds of tiny cells of gas that can change colour to make the images on the screen. They're generally heavier than LCD screens, and ten years ago were probably the only choice for screens larger than 32 inches. Due to these larger screen sizes they have traditionally been more expensive than LCD screens. However this hasn't been the only reason for the extra cost. Plasma screens are seen as desirable because they offer wider viewing angles than LCD screens (which generally must be viewed from a central viewing position). Meanwhile, LCD screens must be backlit continually to be seen - which means they can never be truly black in dark parts of movies. So Batman's costume will never look as black as it should be. Plasma screens can achieve a 'truer' black colour.
Advantages: Larger screens, truer colours, better viewing angles
LCD Screens
The screens that are typically used on smaller flat screens and computer monitors. Their pixels are tiny liquid crystal pouches that change colour. They are backlit by a sheet of light and electrical signals allow different levels of light to come through. They are significantly lighter than plasma screens and are therefore easier to mount, store and move. There is some debate over whether their picture quality can match those of a plasma screen - tests suggest that there is little practical difference and that the picture quality is far more dependent on the technology inside the box than the outside screen. Other consumer tests carried out by x have shown that there are power differences between sets - with LCD screens proving far more efficient over short periods of time.
Advantages: Cheaper, more efficient and lightweight.
3D Screens
The biggest driver to the development of TV screens is 3D Television. Most TV manufacturers are developing TV Screens capable of the 3D experience you've probably already seen in cinemas – and the big-hitters like Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, LG et al hope that 50% of all their TVs will come with 3D technology by 2012.
There's a lot to be excited about: all the major broadcasters are launching 3D TV Channels (Sky's 3D Service began broadcasting in April 2010), while many 3D TVs are capable of converting your favourite 2D broadcasts and recordings into 3D images (although these will not be quite as realistic as made-for-3D TV programmes). If you haven't yet seen a HD football match on a 3D screen… well, we pity you.
How does 3D TV work?
We're born with two eyes – meaning our vision is made up of two slightly different perspectives, and this difference is interpreted by the brain as depth. Traditional telly shows us one flat image and the difference is lost, but 3D Screens cleverly show two images, a different one for each eye, using either a filtering or a shuttering method.
3D Glasses
In cinemas, a filtering method is used – two images are projected simultaneously and those 'attractive' plastic glasses filter the correct image to each eye. 3D TVs use a slightly more advanced process. Rather than showing us two images at the same time, they change (or 'refresh') between what the right eye and the left eye should see. In this case, the 3D glasses use liquid-crystal shutters in the left and right lens that flicker in time with your 3D Set. Of course, all of this happens too quickly to notice – but the advantages are better colour and an improved image quality (none of the trace or ghost image you might be able to see at the cinema). The disadvantage is that the glasses are slightly more expensive – but still a fraction of the TV's overall cost.
Lenticular Screens
In time we may not use 3D Glasses at all. Major companies such as Phillips have trialled 3D TVs which work with the naked eye. These are known as Lenticular screens: the screen is covered by a layer of digital micro-mirrors that reflect a different image into each eye. The Chinese manufacturer TCL has developed a 42-inch LCD 3D Lenticular TV called the TD-42F, but as of May 2010, it's only commercially available in China!
LED Screens
LED screens are a kind of LCD screen that are backlit differently to either improve picture quality (this is called RGB Dynamic LED TV) or to make the television super slim (Edge-LED TV). They're generally more expensive and seen as more desirable, not least because as modern sets they come with lots of extra features: web compatibility, full HD etc.
RGB Dynamic LED TV
Normal LCD screens are backlit by a single panel of light that's always on. This means that dark scenes don't look properly dark and subtle detail is hard to see. You might not be able to tell the difference between a very dark brown and black, for example. To solve this problem, RGB Dynamic LED TV screens are lit by hundreds of individual light (LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes) which can be turned-off in patches to make truly dark colours where needed on the screen.
Edge-LED TV
This method of backlighting allows for LED TVs to become extremely thin. The light is spread across the screen by a special panel which produces a superb uniform colour range across the screen.
High Definition (HD, Hi-Def)
High Definition TVs display noticeably more detailed and more colourful pictures at a level that approaches cinema quality. Almost all new large screen TVs come with an HD logo, however there are a variety of High Definition Television standards to be aware of:
The picture is made up of 720 horizontal lines, displayed on the screen progressively (the p at the end of 720p – it means that the horizontal lines appear one after the other, but to the human eye it looks like one solid picture).
The picture is made up of 1080 horizontal lines. The i stands for interlaced – the horizontal lines that make up the image aren't displayed one after the other. The odd numbered lines are displayed first followed by the even numbers.
The same, but the lines that make up the image are displayed one after another. The 1080p option is the sharpest and most detailed, although the difference isn't obvious to the untrained eye. The clarity of fine details on the screen – like pebbles, grass and skin pores - can reveal the difference.
HD Ready
A TV screen that will display images at a quality between 720p and 1080i. And while they may be compatible with 1080i or 1080p TV these images will be downscaled in order to fit a lower resolution screen. HD Ready is an older HD format and can be expected to be complete replaced with HD Ready 1080
HD Ready 1080 (also known as Full HD)
The screen will display the highest quality images without any need to downscale image quality.
HD Ready 1080 (also known as Full HD)
The TV is not an HD TV, but will be able to display HD images from your set top box or Blu-ray player at a lower resolution. Typically, an HD Compatible screen will feature HDMI inputs compatible with high definition set top boxes or content sources (such as Blu-ray or HD video recorder).
Blu-ray is now an established home movie format, and production of Blu-ray discs is set to eclipse and eventually replace DVD. Blu-ray discs reproduce movies in 1080 pixel High Definition (the highest existing standard of HD image), and like DVDs come with extra digitally encoded information – such as subtitles, audio commentary etc. Blu-ray players read optical discs with an incredibly fine blue laser (hence 'Blu-ray'), that can decode a much higher amount of information than standard DVD lasers.
Blu-ray players are the best way to watch home movies, and to make the most of them, a good-sized Full HD screen is necessary, as well as an HDMI cable to connect the two.
Digital Television
Very soon, all TV in the country will be supplied digitally rather than the traditional analogue method. The analogue signal is due to be phased out by 2012, so it's a good time to start thinking about your digital TV options.
There are a number of service providers all offering a range of packages: Sky, Freesat, BT and Virgin are some of the leading providers, and their content ranges from common channels (each provide the main BBC channels plus free to view channels like Channel 4, which relies on adverts for its money). Some providers have their own channels (such as Sky 1, only available on a Sky package) while others may offer a variety of syndicated channels (NBC or HBO, for example).
Why are we switching to Digital Television?
All television is broadcast via the airwaves which have a limited bandwidth. The switch to Digital Television will free up a lot of this bandwidth because the digital signal is much smaller than the analogue signal. This makes it possible to fit more TV channels, radio networks and other services into the same amount of space. There are three ways of receiving digital television: terrestrial, satellite and cable
Converting to Digital: What You'll Need
Digital Aerials
If you don't have an outdoor aerial that can pick up digital, it's definitely worth experimenting with an indoor aerial. If you can get a decent picture from an analogue aerial, it's very likely that you'll get a good digital signal too. Experiment by positioning your aerial around the house and work out which rooms and positions work best.
Set Top Boxes
Also known as digital boxes, 'digiboxes' or Freesat boxes. This is the simplest way of connecting to a digital service, and are available cheaply from Asda Direct. There are different set top boxes available depending on your connection type (an aerial for terrestrial TV, a satellite dish for Sky or Freesat, or a cable connection). But the majority are Freeview boxes that will allow you to watch the Freeview channels. You do the set-up yourself, but for BSkyB, cable and broadband, the companies supply and install their own set top box as part of the service. You'll need a set of SCART leads to connect everything up.
Digital TV Recorders
Are the same as Set Top Boxes but with the advantage of being able to record and store your favourite programmes, and pause or rewind a channel to the point at which you started watching. You'll never miss a plot twist or key sporting moment again! Depending on how you receive your TV – terrestrial aerial, cable or satellite – there are different Digital TV Recorders available, while Sky boxes come with their own Sky+ function (which does the same job). You can also record from your set top box using a good old VHS recorder, but you won't be able to do live pauses or benefit from the other functionality that DTVRs provide.
Integrated Digital Televisions
IDTVs combine a flat screen TV with a set top box – i.e, they have an inbuilt digital tuner and in many cases a satellite TV tuner which will display BBC/ITV's Freesat channels provided your TV is connected to a satellite dish. Any TV can be converted to receive digital however, with the use of a set top box.
In the early 90s SCART cables replaced the old mono plug for standard-definition, analogue TV and video. While still widely used today, SCART cables are gradually being replaced by HDMI cables, which can carry HD and multiple audio signals.
Scart leads aren't equipped to carry High Definition signals. You'll need an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable to plug your HD TV into a Blu-ray player or High Definition Set Top Box. These come in a variety of materials – the better quality, the sharper your image is likelier to be.
More than one TV?
You've signed up to a TV service and the box sits in your living room – but what if you want to watch Sky, Cable or another paid for service in your bedroom, kitchen, or (if your lucky) your hot tub? You can connect your secondary TVs to your digibox using a Scart or aerial cable (or HDMI cable for HD). But if you don't want to run extra cables through your house you should use a wireless video sender. These handy devices plug into your existing set top box and come with a decoder for you to plug into your second TV. Some even come with a remote control extender, so you can change the channel on your set top box from your bedroom.
Remote Control
With so many new technologies, you sometimes find that you have a separate remote for your DVD player, Blu-ray player, Set Top Box, TV and Home Theatre System. This can be cluttering and finding batteries for everything can be a chore - but there are a wide range of universal remotes which can control all your devices from a single device.
What Digital TV is available, how do I receive it?
There are three ways of receiving digital television: terrestrial, satellite and cable.
Terrestrial TV (DDTV)
Terrestrial TV simply uses your existing aerial to receive digital signals, which are turned into TV by your set top box (or your TV's internal receiver if you have an integrated television). It's often the cheapest way of watching digital TV. The digital terrestrial TV network in the UK is called Freeview and comes with over 40 free digital TV channels and over 20 digital radio stations (see www.freeview.co.uk) as well as on demand content. Other channels and HD content are also available this way for additional subscription charges, which may require you to buy more hardware, such as a BT Vision Recorder or iDTV with a card slot or separate card adaptor. You may also need to upgrade your aerial and you will definitely need SCART leads to connect everything up. The big drawback with freeview is it's currently not available everywhere and you will need to check your postcode (there is a postcode checker here: www.freeview.co.uk) to see if you can get it. Availability will improve after the digital switchover in 2012.
Required hardware: Set Top Box (or integrated TV or PDR), SCART cables and a modern aerial.
Providers: Freeview or Top Up TV
Advantages: Low, one off costs, extra channels without subscription
Disadvantages: Not always available, new aerial may be required, limited channels compared to subscription service.
Satellite TV (DSat, D-SAT)
There are two major satellite services: BSkyB (commonly known as just Sky) and a no-subscription service run by BBC and ITV called Freesat. Sky offer a variety of packages and have hundreds of channels available, including their own movie, entertainment and sports channels and pay-per-view programming. Like the BBC and ITV, Sky also offer free channels (confusingly called Freesat from Sky) – a set of channels that are free to anyone with a satellite connection. Freesat and Freesat from Sky will only cost you a one-off payment for a satellite dish, set top box and installation fee and will currently give you access to hundreds of channels.
Required hardware: Satellite dish, set top box (or integrated TV or PDR), SCART cables. To receive HD channels you will need a Freesat iDTV, HD set top box or Sky HD box.
Providers: BBC & ITV (Freesat) or BSkyB (Sky and Freesat from Sky)
Advantages: It's available everywhere
Disadvantages: Requires a satellite dish to be installed, and you may need permission to do this.
Cable TV
Cable TV is usually provided as part of a package of communications including web and phone lines. You will be charged a monthly subscription for the whole package, and the costs will depend on which channels are included in the package. The Freeview channels will be included in the basic package. The cable connection and set top box are installed for you, usually included in the subscription price.
Required hardware:A set-top box and a fibre-optic cable will be installed in your house by your provider.
Providers: BT, Virgin etc.
Advantages: : Hundreds of channels. Installation is carried out for you and it's handy to have your TV, phone line and internet connection all rolled into one package.
Disadvantages: Limited availability; 12-month subscription contract is usually required.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost three years now. I've had a few girlfriends here and there but mainly my best friends are all guys. The girls that I usually hangout with are all gone away to college now. I don't feel that its right to hang out with my guy friends since I have a boyfriend now, not because I have feelings for them but because I wouldn't like it if my boyfriend was hanging out with other girls in his free time instead of me. The thing is, he's usually busy and since I no longer have a job and the only other commitment I have is school I have tons of free time. I get so bored of being home. I'm very lonely and its killing me. Is it wrong to hang out with my guy friends? I admit I've dated some of them before but we broke up for a reason.. guys would it bug you if your girl was hanging out with guys?
Most Helpful Guy
I would have a problem if my girlfriend was hanging out with any of her ex's.
I don't think there is anything wrong with hanging out with your guy friends, but you shouldn't be calling them all the time. Especially since you have a boyfriend. If you're hanging with them more than your boyfriend though, then that is a problem.
Now, if you're bored of being home, find something you enjoy doing. If you're lonely, go get a dog. Hanging out with them too much will only lead to them having feelings for you, and maybe you having feelings for them, and then you'll have a whole different set of issues. And even if that doesn't happen, it will save you the hassle if your boyfriend starts getting upset because of the time you spend with your guy friends. Sometimes you have to deal with your boredom and loneliness in other ways that don't involve other people. That's just life. You're not always going to have people around to make you happy.
So if you want to hang with them every once in a while, fine. But don't make a habit out of it. And definitely don't hang out with your ex's.00|00|0
