Sorry… I thought I was done with Bang Bang but I saw they'd uploaded this song and, well… HOW CUTE IS KATRINA! See, everybody (or at least "everybody") always complains about the lack of heroine-focused material but here's a delightful heroine-has-a-crush-on-the-hero number!
And I wanted all of Katrina's clothes. Especially that yellow number. She was so sensibly dressed through most of the movie to the point where there's one scene where she puts on a tank top to cover her swim suit as Hrithik is stripping off his shirt with the camera lingering.
I still don't understand how all the critics could dismiss her as "arm candy" when she was clearly the protagonist.
ANYWAYS. "UFF!" *dances* I've been enjoying this whole soundtrack all week!

This paper asks what the familiar conception of literary interpretation as socially situated and rhetorical might mean on the cognitive level. Rejecting the prescriptiveness, individualism, and use of invented examples that theorisations of reading based on so-called "cognitive linguistics" have involved, it attempts to develop Michael Billig's model of thought as argument into a theory of interpretation adequate to the complexities of actual reader discourse within one particular social context (academia). A detailed intertextual analysis is carried out to provide qualitative empirical support for this theory, showing how four critics read Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness by debating its correct interpretation.

Sweet corn (sometimes written sweetcorn) is a vegetable native to the Americas. Use it in a sweet corn soup or salad recipe or roast it whole on the barbecue for a delicious side dish.
This is a fresh summer salad featuring kidney beans, sweetcorn, tomatoes and lime. Very lovely and colourful.
These simple sweetcorn fritters are ideal with a fresh mango salsa. Use fresh corn off the cob, not tinned, for best results.
These are savoury, high fibre pancakes made with juicy sweetcorn, capsicum and peas. With a salad it's a whole meal.
Cool, refreshing avocado slices are mixed with sweetcorn, olives, red capsicum and onion. Serve this colourful, Mexican-inspired dip with corn chips, in wraps or as a side to barbecued meats. If time is of the essence use drained tinned sweetcorn.
Watercress has a light and peppery flavour which is the perfect accompaniment to the sweet earthiness of corn. A delicious side or entree.
A tin of creamed corn is the foundation in this great corn cake that I make, I know corn is not a traditional cake ingredient but try it before you knock it.
This is a classic sweet Chinese soup and is very simple to make with only a handful of ingredients. Great first course in a Chinese meal.
I always have leftovers after doing a Sunday roast, so I decided to make something a bit different this time. At Christmas when you get a cheeseboard who eats the smelly blue cheese? No one that's who. I thought I would crumble it up and add it to my chicken parcels. These are so easy to make as everything is out of a packet and all mixed together.
Easy peasy and delicious quiche made with sweetcorn and queso fresco cheese. If you can't get queso fresco cheese, please feel free to use feta, goat's cheese or even ricotta cheese in its place.
The simplest pasta salad recipe ever and surprisingly good! You can also add salad dressing or mayonnaise if you want.

Curses, spells, and witchcraft are connected to black arts sorcery. Have you been cursed? Python Spirits can causes bad things to happen. Are you unequally yoked? What kind of people are you hanging out with? Does anyone wish the worse for you? What's being spoken over your life? To know if you have been cursed means spiritual discernment is going to be a must for you. No Biblical insight will open the door to danger. Don't get ensnared because of ignorance.
Remember the damsel that followed Apostle Paul and Silas? Naturally speaking it appeared this was a lovely young lady that was enjoying the gospel services. She followed the ministry for several days declaring, "These men are servants of the most high God which show you the way of salvation." Sounds great right? But something wasn't sitting with right with Apostle Paul's spirit. After a few days, the apostle turned around and said come out of her! The result was a him came out of a her. (Transgender anyone?)
Scripture declares, "And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour" (Acts 16:16-18).
Notice this was a spirit of divination. The Greek calls it a pneuma of python or python spirit. This was a fortune telling spirit. We would call it a demonic prophetic spirit. Demons love prophetic people and prophetic groups. This slave girl brought her masters lots of money but after her deliverance the ability to prophesy stopped. This stirred up her owner's and they brought Paul and Silas to the city rulers and magistrates looking to fine or jail them.
Spirits like this python spirit must be spiritually discerned. Spiritual discernment is not soulish suspicion. Left undetected this spirit of divination would have caused all kinds of problems for this apostolic team. Scripture says, "Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil"(Ephesians 6:11). Wiles are chicaneries, tricks, or strategies of deception. These stratagems are used to get you out of the will of God. Jesus said the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
You will find that most demonic spirits use flattery and mystical ambiguous words to build your confidence in them. If you fall prey to their demonic lure, you will suffer much grief. I have seen good people allowing others around them that operated in prophetic divination. In the beginning, things seemed great, but little by little the python spirit began suffocating them and finally releasing full-blown word curses and witchcraft control.

OK, so I admit it. I should have known better. There is no excuse. Every medical student knows that the smallest thing you should stick in your ear is your elbow. But I was proud. I thought I knew what I was doing. I had done it before and crazed with the flush of success I did it again. I syringed my own ear.
Let me explain myself. It first happened back in December. Newly arrived in
So when last week I awoke unable to hear out of said ear unless, bizarrely, pulling firmly down on my right ear lobe I felt I knew the drill. After a couple of patient encounters in which the limitations of the ear-lobe-pulling technique were demonstrated (tricky with a stethoscope) I nipped home and spent some time flushing it out. The results were, I admit disappointing. There were no acoustic revelations. The following morning the impediment was slightly worse. The day after that I awoke aware that the ear was discharging and olfactory investigation revealed it to be offensive.
That evening several of us (the doctors) went of to the tourist seaside town for
I dragged myself over to the lodge reception the following morning. We spent some time on the phone. All the pharmacies were closed for the public holiday. The local GP claimed to have no antibiotics and did not want to see me. The receptionist, moved by my tears, suggested I walk down the road to where the only other GP in town worked. Perhaps he could help.
The reception room held four other people – one white and the other black. The door leading from the reception room opened. Standing in it was the GP, a stocky Afrikaaner in his early 60s, clad in shorts with long socks and sandels. "Next!"
I gestured to the others in the room. They gestured back to me. I said "But you were first." They shook their heads and indicated I should go. Apartheid would appear to be slow to die in the minds of some. "Well if they want to be so polite that is their right." said the exasperated GP
In his office I described my problem. He grabbed antibiotics and ear drops off the shelf announcing that he saw a lot of this (the divers apparently). He was more interested in talking about Hlabisa ("You must learn surgery. Here you will see real medicine!").
"You must come to
I walked out clutching my antibiotics 2 minutes later ("no charge in the profession") and gulped down the first dose. I am, you will be relieved to hear, now cured. Won't be syringing my own ears in a hurry again.

Grey Wolf Terminates Merger Agreement
Grey Wolf, Inc. announced that its proposed merger with Basic Energy Services, Inc. did not receive sufficient votes from Grey Wolf shareholders to approve the transaction at its special meeting of shareholders held today. As a result, Grey Wolf and Basic terminated their merger agreement.
In light of this development, the Board of Directors of Grey Wolf plans to review the Company's alternatives for enhancing shareholder value. This review will include an update to the Company's existing strategic plan and will encompass consideration of continued internal growth by remaining independent, acquisitions, mergers, sale of the Company, strategic alliances, joint ventures and financial alternatives.
The Board has engaged UBS Investment Bank as its independent financial advisor to assist the Company in conducting this review.
Thomas P. Richards, Chairman, President and CEO of Grey Wolf, said, "Grey Wolf remains fully committed to enhancing shareholder value. After thorough consideration, Grey Wolf's Board believed that the addition of Basic's complementary business and assets would have been an excellent strategic fit for us and would have created significant value. The Board will now continue to consider other alternatives to enhance shareholder value and it will do so in an environment of strong commodity prices, a related strengthening in the onshore U.S. lower 48 drilling market and the potential inherent in Grey Wolf's asset base."
The Company cautions shareholders that there is no assurance that the review will result in any specific transaction and no timetable has been set for its completion. The Company does not intend to disclose developments relating to this review unless and until its Board of Directors approves a specific agreement or transaction.
The Company will also take a pre-tax charge to earnings of approximately $17.0 million (or approximately $.05 per diluted share) during the third quarter of this year as a result of the shareholder vote and related termination of the merger agreement.

A few weeks ago, Camp Daniel hosted the 7th annual D4D (Dance for Disability) at Bay Beach in Green Bay. D4D is always an exciting event; for the camp team, it is the beginning of the summer season. We often get to see campers and counselors we have not seen since last summer! Just as important, this event allows us to make contact with people who know very little or nothing about Camp Daniel and it's mission.
D4D was created seven years ago to celebrate those living with disabilities, their families, caregivers, and agencies that serve them within the community. A goal for the future D4D would be that it becomes a citywide celebration with multiple activities celebrating the disability community. Bay Beach is the perfect place to hold D4D, giving people the chance to bounce between the rides and the indoor dance, held in the historic pavilion. Like in years past, inside the pavilion people have a place to rest, eat some food and of course dance for a few hours.
Camp Daniel could not hold an event like this without sponsorship. Sponsors often come from local organizations that provide services to those with disabilities or businesses that have an interest in the disability population. This years groups included the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC), Paragon, and the CP Center , all service providers in Green Bay. Woodman's also was a sponsor this year. We are grateful for the sponsorship these organizations gave us this year and hope to continue these relationships for next year's event.
The team here at camp is dreaming about expanding this event in 2017. If you or your organization would like to be involved, please contact Laura Lee Wright.

It's finally Friday! I hope you enjoy these last few pics of some of my favorite things from the Stationery Show--I'm already thinking about and looking forward to next year's show!
Dimensional paper flowers are popping up everywhere, and I especially loved when they were incorporated into booth decor. I chatted with the talented Alexis of Alexis Mattox Design for a few minutes, and they brought 300+ flowers with them in suitcases for the decor in their booth! Some favorite booths blooming with flowers: Alexis Mattox Design // Soho Paper // Snow & Graham.
One Canoe Two's catalog is so adorable. The quilt-inspired pattern and subtle gradient is beautiful!
One of my favorite products One Canoe Two came out with are their 2014 oversized wall calendars. The unique, large size (20x30") is perfect for making a statement in your home or office. Plus, there's a bonus "Phases of the Moon" print to hang as a keepsake after the year is over.
Picking one favorite card out from all the cards at NSS would be impossible, but if I had to narrow it down, these three would be near the top. I loved the simple illustration and adorable phrase on Wild Ink's Howdy Punkin' card. The combination of the song lyrics and phone book page makes Sapling Press' card is so cute! (Also, be sure and check out their Etsy shop--it's filled with adorable cards with phrases for nearly every occasion.) And Ladyfingers Letterpress' What's Up, Hombre? card is right on trend.
And speaking of Ladyfingers Letterpress--they've combined some of my favorite trends in their more-than-a-business-card handout: neon + gold foil + letterpress + diecut shape. Awesome!
In the business card "category," Night Owl Paper Goods might have (completely) won my heart. Their logo has been one of my favorite in the industry--those little owls are adorable--and the combination of wood and letterpress is pretty fancy!
I loved what Rifle Paper Co. was handing out--a beautiful print (that I intend to slip in a frame) and a letterpressed ruler. Secretly, I was hoping their new iPhone cases would be up for grabs, but I can see this print sitting on my desk for quite a while! I fall in love with it a little more every time I look at it!
I have loved every opportunity I've had to attend the National Stationery Show, but I think this was by far the best one I've been to. Every booth went above and beyond, and I always come back inspired to elevate my own personal and professional work. So many kind, gracious and generous people who are willing to share their art and pour their heart into what they do.
thanks for the great peek inside the show, lindsay! see all of the stationery place's NSS 2013 coverage here.

Coming up on almost 12 months of travel, I thought it would be interesting to post a collection of some of the people around the world that I've crossed paths with during my travels. Below are some photos of people around the world that I've either met along the way or have been intrigued enough in passing to take a picture whether just curious or simply amazed by them…
People Around the World
Taken inside the Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, India. The Fort itself was one of the most amazing forts I'd been to India. Definitely a must see if you travel through Rajasthan. Maybe you'll get lucky and this guy will still be hanging out smoking shisha…
While in Chiang Mai, Thailand we ran into this well dressed group just outside one of the hundreds of temples within this city. There was a major festival going on that just happened to fall on the same day when we were here visiting.
I caught this kid riding in the back of what I'd refer to as a true 'Tractor Trailer'. This was taken on the dusty back roads from Vang Vieng, Laos heading towards Nathong Village.
While traveling from Lhasa to Shigatse, Tibet we made a stop at Karola Glacier that held some breathtaking views. I was fortunate enough to grab a photo with these two lovely ladies!
After leaving from Kathmandu, when I arrived into Chitwan National Park in Nepal, I passed these 3 guys on the road leading into the park. They were carrying food for the elephants that were in the park of which there were dozens to feed!
This was the result of me doing my best to teach a group of Vietnamese fisherman how to give the thumbs up. Apparently a few of them were distracted by the girl I was with on my left! This was taken at Cat Ba Island which is the largest island in Halong Bay, Vietnam.
I took this shot in a very small town in Tibet which was on the way to Everest Base Camp towards the Nepal border. Those are mud bricks on the right used to build homes as well as shelters for animals during Tibet's brutal winters.
A shot taken just outside the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Anyone need a lift? You can hire these for trips around town (or just to and from the palace). It was definitely surprising to see so many camels in Agra while I was traveling through there…
A couple guys sculpting the head of a Buddha. I came across these two while in Luang Prabang, Laos and it was interesting to watch for a bit. Just beyond where I was standing here, lies Phu Si Hill in the center of town that is home to the Wat Tham Phou Si temple and many more Buddha statues.
As I was walking out of the Amber Fort in Jaipur, India it was hard not to take a shot of this group. India is known for its many colors and though not the best shot, this definitely helps portray the diversity of colors worn by its people.
On a sunny day in Shenzhen, China, I couldn't help but take this photo since so many of the locals here not only ride two on a basic 'one-seater' bicycle but also take their umbrellas everywhere around town!
A shot of a talented 10 yr old rider and his horse in Terlj National Park, Mongolia. Notice he's also pulling along another horse in tow…
This shot was taken in Xi'an, China in the Muslim Quarter of the city. The street vendors and restaurants you'll find throughout this area is home to some of the best food you'll find anywhere in Xi'an or even China for that matter.
Heading into the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet I was greeted at the door… OK, so this wasn't the main door into the palace but it wasn't far from it. And of all the places I've traveled to so far, I've never seen more smiles on people faces than I had seen while traveling in Tibet.
Drifting down the shallow waterways of Tonle Sap Lake amongst hundreds of homes on the water… Tonle Sap Lake is located just outside Siem Reap, Cambodia and is worth a visit if you're traveling through to see just how diverse and unique this environment is that the people reside in. Nearly every home on Tonle Sap Lake has a small foot bridge over the water to get to the front door.
Another shot taken in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I really wish I could explain the attire shown but unless you spoke Thai at the time (which I didn't), you also may not know what the cause was for celebration…

You've heard the question, "What are the 3 most important elements of buying a home?"
The response: "Location, Location, Location."
There is no denying: location is critical to home buying. That's because where you live can be important to how you live, how it affects your happiness and quality of life and how it affects your financial and emotional wellbeing.
It's not unusual for people to buy and sell their home three or more times during their adult life. As their life evolves, so does their need and desire for where and how to live.
Here are a some questions about location, any number of which might be considered when buying:
- · What is the quality of the neighbourhood and is there sufficient pride of ownership?
- · How convenient is the location to schools, shopping, friends/family, parks and even jobs?
- · Is the neighbourhood improving, stable or declining?
- · Is commercial use encroaching and how does that impact value and desirability?
- · What is the area's resale value record?
- · Do the homes in the area have a measure of conformity to each other?
- · Is it a neighbourhood of mostly young families, empty nesters, rentals or other lifestyles?
- · Is it prestige, average or starter?
- · Does the neighbourhood have a good reputation?
- · What are the traffic patterns?
- · Do you prefer urban, rural or semi-urban?
- · What is the age range of typical properties?
Do you prefer a newer or a mature subdivision?
- · Are there any positive or negative factors that can have an impact on marketability?
- · Does it create a sense of community, fostering social interaction? Conversely, does it nurture privacy?

Any number of questions can usually be answered easily. Some require a little research and know-how.
You're not familiar with a neighbourhood?
Consider going there at a couple of different times. A Saturday and after work tend to be good times. Ask a couple of homeowners who are outside what they like and don't like about the neighbourhood? It's surprising how much you can learn by asking.

Getting Through Break-ups with the Aid of Divorce Attorneys
Break ups can be terrible and hit you hard. When you think your life is over, the settlements, the children and the pressure from losing your former soul mate can really drain your energy. Divorce attorneys are the people who should assist you in getting through all these.
Proper legal advice is required to deal with divorce, and what better place to go than to a legal expert on this very sensitive field. Before one embarks on this dreaded journey, getting the proper divorce papers, mediation and advice is quite helpful as it will save you time and money.
First comes the challenge of how to file for a divorce. Professional divorce attorneys should assist you in this area. For this, they charge a fee. Divorce settlements can be quicker than you think if you solicit the services of an expert at a reasonable price.
After filing for a divorce, the next question usually becomes the custodian of the children. Who gets to keep the children? Divorce should be avoided by all means possible, especially for couples with children. The trauma these children go through is incorrigible. They become social misfits, usually becoming very angry. For those children who do not vent out their temper through anger, depression sets in. There is no better solution to children's problems from divorced families than not to divorce altogether. Should anger set in, parents are advised not to try suppressing it but let them blow off steam. Your divorce attorney should advise you on which system to adopt to help minimize the effects created to your children.
The same way there exists online dating, so does online divorce. It is really a fast and quick way of solving matters. An online form is available. Once filled, divorce attorneys from that precise firm handling divorce shall carry out all your necessary requirements, like submitting the divorce form, handling the paperwork and filing the documents for legal action. Any support required is carried out by the legal experts and soon the issue is resolved quietly.
Whether or not a couple goes to court to bring to an end their marriage is entirely upon them. They may opt for the uncontested divorce. This is the kind that both parties agree to part ways with their dignity intact.
Going to court over an uncontested divorce is not practical, as would be advised by many divorce attorneys. This turns out to be a hassle free break up where the splitting couple just agrees through their respective divorce attorneys to divide their accumulated wealth in whatever portions they deem fair and just. The question of who gets the children is also looked at and solved with utmost integrity.
However, should there be a problem with agreeing on who gets to remain with what after the dissolution of the marriage, then that becomes a contested divorce. It sees most couples knocking on courts doors. Guidance from either their marriage counselor r divorce counselor never seems to work and thus taking it to court to decide who gets what percentage of what becomes the ultimate solution.

This is part five of a thirty day trial, during which I am going to write and publish a post every day. No refunds. Comments welcome and encouraged!
Today is that day that was invariably going to come along, in regards to this project of posting here every day for the month on September. I'm not sure what to write about.
This make me slightly sad, because it's Labor Day.
Am I glad to have a day off? Yes.
Am I proud to be an American worker? In a way, yes.
Do I celebrate the contributions of laborers more active and resilient than me? Yes.
Is one day enough, to make up for decades-long general trends that have made life more difficult for laborers, more complicated, even as those at the very top have continued to do very well for themselves?
No, I don't think it is.
We live in strange times. It's no secret that I've wondered at length about them, about what's next, about where we're headed, what it will look like. I think this is why I've gravitated back to science fiction, where I started as a young avid content consumer (reader).
What does a robotic future look like for labor? Likely, not great. Is anything going to stop automation from replacing manual work, in the real, tactile world? I don't think so.
Given the choice, would we completely want to stop this from happening? I think that depends on who you are, and how you make a living.
Where is the line between accepting change and demanding your fair due, based on contributions of the past — that built the foundations of today? Do we still even respect legacy in this way?
I know the world is always changing, but it seems to be changing quickly, now.
Some of this change seems inevitable and, perhaps, ultimately helpful. Some of it seems short-sighted, greedy, or at least of the sort that could be checked, slowed, made to respect the potential or very real damage it can and does cause to human life and happiness at large.
I'm a knowledge worker, and a content creator, in today's parlance. On the one hand, I am soothed by the fact that mine is a specialized skill-set. We'll always need stories, and I'm a storyteller. I even believe I could be of use in the zombie apocalypse. Anyone who has survived past hour twelve on a film shoot would be of service in the zombie apocalypse.
But I do worry about these things, as I wonder about them.
I worry that there's no turning back, or checking the rush of the tide of technological change, this time — if there ever was a way to do either of these things. I worry that as technology cheapens everything, we're headed towards decay and dysfunction for the majority, in service of growth and ascension for the minority — of the increasingly other-worldly wealthy elite.
Labor Day is not meant, I don't think, to be a day of remembrance. It's supposed to celebrate the contributions of labor to our prosperity both then and now. This is still, of course, a worthy use of our time.
But I believe our workers, myself among them, deserve more. We deserve ongoing respect, both for what we do and what we endure, what we've done, and how those contributions have laid (continue to lay) the groundwork for future growth and prosperity.
A well-deserved day off is a good opportunity to rest. It can also be a good time to not only appreciate ourselves and our peers, but also to take some time to reflect.
We are all of us essentially equal — so says our social contract. I think it's acceptable, if not crucial, that we not only celebrate labor's role in securing today's prosperity as well as tomorrow's, but also question our role in that tomorrow, and how that role is influenced, diminished, or manipulated by those in control of both our livelihoods and our news.
Whether we like it or not, we may also have to think how we might both accept this reality and yet challenge its assumptions (and ours).
Change doesn't only happen. We can also enact it. That's the beautiful thing about working towards the future. We'll never get there, but we can look back after a while and see where all the chasing after it has gotten us.
I guess I found something to write about.

Title : High-Frequency Acoustic Scattering from Sediment Interface Roughness and Volume Inhomogeneities.
Descriptive Note : Final rept.,

Abstract : High-frequency acoustic and geoacoustic data from five experiment sites with different sediment types are compared with predictions from the composite roughness model to ascertain the relative contribution of interface roughness and sediment volume scattering. Model fits to backscattering data from silty sediments indicate that volume scattering predominates, but measured bottom roughness was sufficient to explain the backscattering measured from a rippled, sandy sediment. Fluctuations in sediment porosity and sound velocity probably cause volume scattering, which is described by a free parameter in the composite roughness model comparisons. High-resolution vertical profiles of sediment porosity and compressional wave velocity collected from 14 diverse sites on continental shelves are used to calculate vertical spatial autocorrelation functions, variance of the fluctuations, and the dependence of sediment sound velocity and density on sediment porosity for parameterizing sediment volume inhomogeneity. Correlation lengths calculated from autocorrelation functions show maximum variability in poorly sorted sediments. The variance of porosity and velocity fluctuations, which determines the strength of volume scattering, exhibits wide variation with sediment type and depends on the processes that mix and transport sediments. Comparison of data from a large number of locations on continental shelves suggests that fluctuations in sediment porosity are due to biological and sedimentological processes and that fluctuations in sediment velocity are due to hydrodynamic processes.

Here's the Deal
Slant is written by a community helping you be informed. Tell us what you're passionate about to get an awesome personalized feed.
Pro Graphical timesheets
Graphical timesheets placed in the calendar allows for an easy visual representation of how much time was used on what tasks on what hours for what days.
Pro Free version for single users and for trial
There is a free version available with limited functionality that is great for freelancers as well as testing the app. There is also a 30 day free trial for the paid versions for further testing.
Con Can be intrusive
Due to the nature of the app and that it tracks everything a users does it can easily pick up on an employees website usage. Ideally one should not be cruising the web while working but realistically this can be seen as pretty overbearing of an employer.
Con Numbers may be off
Instances of incorrect times for certain activities is pretty damning of an app that is supposed to track time accurately.
Timing for Mac
Timing is the best way to keep track of the time you spend with your Mac. Timing automati...
Pro Easy time analysis after the fact
once a users day is finished they can go through the history of the app to pick and choose what tasks are worth keeping for time tracking of the day. This makes it easy in the sense that there is no manual tracking needed to be done, everything is recorded and then can be filtered down to the users...
Pro No Subscription Needed
The app works completely offline - no user data leaves your computer and you don't have to pay some monthly fee.
Con Only works on one device, no billing, no syncing and no mobile or web apps
Timing has a pretty limited use for a paid app as it only works on one Mac device. There is no cloud sync to get the schedules synced to another device. There is also no billing built into the app.
TMetric Time Tracker
TMetric is a work time tracker for freelancers, agencies, and companies. It helps to keep...
Pro Easy to use
TMetric Time Tracker is very user-friendly and anyone can use it without having any big problems.

Pro Smooth integration with Trello
TMetric integrates with Trello. This is awesome! You can track time on every board and stay productive all day long.
Con Desktop app for Linux needs improvement
Current version of the desktop app for Linux requires bug fixes and some improvements

Pro Integrations
Hubstaff integrates with multiple project management tools and will automatically sync to update your task list.
Pro Automatic payments and payroll
Set up your team to automatically get paid for the hours they log using the Hubstaff app. Just input their hourly rate, the schedule you want them to be paid on (weekly, monthly, bi-weekly?), and integrate with your favorite payment service (PayPal, Payoneer, etc.)
Pro Screenshots
Hubstaff takes randomized screenshots while users are logging time. Frequency can be adjusted and screenshots can be blurred.
Con Not free with limited trial
Many other time tracking apps allow for free users under a certain team size and for personal use, Hubstaff does not allow for this and only has a limited 14 day trial of the software before one needs to pay a monthly fee that starts at $5 a month for the lowest package.
Con Free versions have limited uses
The free Android version has only 50 uses allowed and the free PC version has a limited 30 day trial. While nice to be able to try the app for free many other timers allow single user unlimited use of their apps.
Con No iOS version available
The software is only available for Windows and Android operating systems.
Emacs Org-mode
Org-mode is for keeping notes, maintaining to-do lists, planning projects, and authoring...
Pro Files are usable anywhere at anytime
Users are not tied to one service provider, program, platform, or database engine.
Pro Ultimate flexibility
This app's flexibility is based on its minimalist approach, giving the user near-infinite freedom.
Con Android app isn't very good
There are several user-created apps for Android, but none seem to offer the same level of functionality as other to-do apps.
Con By default, a hard-to-read display
The default way of writing an outline or checklist creates a very messy wall of text that's difficult to read with no vertical spacing. You can manually add vertical spacing, but the Org operations don't preserve it. There are pretty-display modes, but you need to remember how to enable the...
Con Unintuitive user interface
The key combinations are unintuitive and difficult to remember. This is probably because there are a lot of hidden "modes" depending on where the cursor is. Actions aren't paired with reversing actions like in other todo apps. For example, hitting shift-tab does NOT reverse the effect...
Understand exactly how you spend your time and attention, with no data entry.
Pro Weekly email summary
Users and team leaders can get weekly emails that summarize what everyone has been spending their time doing.
Pro Keeps track of set goals
The app allows setting goals and helps keep track of progress towards them in the dashboard and weekly email to motivate you.
Pro Estimates productivity
Users can customize what constitutes productive time and not, this allows for good flexibility depending on what ones job requirements are.
Toggl is a web app for the Chrome browser (with native apps available for Windows, Mac, i...
Pro Integration with existing services
Integrates with services such as TeamWeek, Pivotal Tracker, Github, Asana, Unfuddle, Gitlab, Trello, Worksection, Redbooth, Podio, Basecamp, JIRA, Producteev, Bitbucket, Stifer, Google Docs, Redmine, YouTrack, CapsuleCRM, Xero, Zendesk, Any.do, Todoist, Trac, Wunderlist, Toodledo, Teamwork.com, Goo...
Con Stable version requires Chrome
The stable version of Toggl on Linux installs as a Chrome app thus Chrome has to be installed on the machine and run (it can be run as a process in the background). A native client is in the works, but it's still in beta.
Very easy-to-use time tracking solution that hits the sweet spot especially if you use Ba...
Pro Straightforward, reliable and portable
Great for small businesses and freelancers as it is easy to use on both a webpage, Chrome plugin and on mobile.
Pro Well priced
Plans range from free for one user to $159 a month for 100 users. There should pretty much be a plan for any user size one want, which makes it pretty affordable as the package necessary for one team size is all that needs purchased.
Pro Simple and well integrated
With easy integration into things like Google Calendar or Trello users will not have to spend much time setting up this time manager into their workflow.
Con Free only for one person
Monthly fee if used by more than 1 member of the team. Then it's very expensive at $29 per month.
Pro Task-based time-tracking
Track projects, and various subtasks, and set a work rate $per hour unique to each task.
Con OSX and iOS only
No Windows, Linux or Android versions are available. Which is pretty limiting for those not in the Apple ecosystem.
Pro Super fast task creation
To add a task fill out a form that asks 3 thing - deadline, project/client and a description.
Con Requires an Internet connection to work
As Freckle is a webapp and Internet connection is required to use it. No native apps are available.
Automatic private time tracker for Mac OS X. It knows productivity rates for thousands of...
Pro Invoice generation
It's possible to generate PDFs with invoices based on tracked project time or create ones from scratch.
Pro Automatic project tracking
Qbserve categorizes project time automatically based on opened documents and web pages.
Pro Dynamic icons
The dock icon will change color depending on what you are currently doing, acting as a reminder to get back to work when you've become distracted. You can also set goals, and in the status bar you will see a percentage of how close you are to your daily goal.
Con No synchronization
Since Qbserve is a serverless solution – you can't sync your database between multiple Macs.
Con Short free trial
While it's good that there is a 10 day free trial, 10 days isn't very long. A longer trial would allow for better judgement of how much more productive the software made you.
WebWork Time Tracker
WebWork Time Tracker is time tracking and screen monitoring software. It is ideal for rem...
Pro It is cheap and it works pretty good for a company based on remote workers
Finding an affordable option to manage all team members spread all over the world is hard. WebWork was a life saver.
Pro The cheapest time tracker
WebWork Time Tracker offers the cheapest services to make it affordable for everyone. The price is standard: 2.99 per user per month. Owners can add as many users as they want and pay later, at the end of the month. The payment will be based on the number of team members at the moment of getting...
Pro Simply structured interface
Very simple, beautiful and eye-catching interface, which makes the work more pleasant.
Pro Works with small and large teams
Ballpark has been created to work well no matter the team size one has. Could be a single user or a team of hundreds, Ballpark scales appropriately.
Pro Well designed invoices
While maybe not the most crucial part of a bill, Ballpark does provide very well designed invoices.
Con Dashboard is too static and not that useful for a small team or single users
There is no way to customize the dashboard, on top of this the info provided is all but useless on small teams or with single users. Basically it should allow the user to customize to their experience, but sadly does not do so.
Desktop Task Timer
Flexible Desktop Timer.
Pro Light version available
There is a cheaper light version available for those that don't need the full functionality of the app or would like to try it out without spending the more money on the more expensive version.
Pro Export time to CSV
Users can export CSV files from the app to use for billing, etc. Though this does require the non light version.
Pro An internet connection isn't required
Due to the app having no cloud sync there is no need to have an internet connection for the app to run. Everything it does is local to the device.
Con Only available for OSX
Can only be used on OSX devices, which is pretty limiting for those that use multiple OS's.
primaERP is a cloud based time tracking application. Ideal both for freelancers and team...
Pro Free without limitations (neither time for functions) for freelancers and teams of up to 3 people.
Up to three people on a team can use the time tracker completely free. Which is great for small businesses and freelancers.
Pro It is a smart time tracking app for individuals and/or teams
Shows how much time has been spent and monitors the expenses related. Increases efficiency and helps adjusting hourly rates. Provides easy and fast access for data generated both by local and remote teams. Allows to know the profitability of tasks and projects. Precise and effortless tiime reco...
Con Expensive for teams
For any plan the service costs on a per user basis, which can become quite expensive for large teams.

text: Pop singer Britney Spears has reportedly continued to reign the Billboard music charts with her latest album Hold It Against Me. Many of her fellow pop princesses are really surprised by this development because the pop star is successful in dominating the chart in spite of facing several personal problems. It is reported that the reason behind Britney Spears domination on Billboard music charts is that her songs are relatable. People find Britney relatable and her songs are good, her fans want to see her dance and be a spectacle. Dance pop is even bigger than before and she has always been a part of that, Fox News quoted Monica Herrera, News Editor of Billboard.com as saying.However, Spears last album release Circus had become number one album in 2008. Her Circus tour was the third highest-grossing tour worldwide in 2009. It had grossed around 54.8 million dollars. Following in its footsteps, Britney has recently released Hold It Against Me, which immediately shot to the top of the charts. #13;

The whore and the nukenin : the supposedly impossible love story between a prostitute and a nukenin. Another ItachixYume (my first OC, I just love her). Other pairings are to come later
Akatsuki circus : my first fanfic. I wanted to write a story with a nasty Itachi (it's not easy, i like him too much). Here again, ItachixYume. And another pairing.
On the phone : a weak Itachi in this one. How to get through Ijime with the help of some weirdo, emotionally-disturbed girl... and maybe much more...
Untitled 1 : A sasukexYume fic. Although Sasuke isn't my favorite character, I wanted to try something else with that story.
Untitled 2 : Another character that doesn't belong to me. Aiko was created by Cheeky-half demon, when the two of us were having fun through our mails. I hope "my" Aiko will please you, dear (HidanxOC)
Weapons maintenance : Thanks to Uchihasecks (from Y! gallery), I've been able to start this new fic. Have a look at the summary
Untitled 3 : A YamaKaka fic for a good friend on DA (Narutok74)
Untitled 4 : Eventually a HashiMada fic... if I get a good idea
As you noticed, my favorite character is Itachi. He's just hot.
Concerning pairings... I'm quite curious. I don't mind crack pairings, as long as the plot is interesting. I'll try to make a list later

We cannot believe what Charlotte Crosby just shared on Twitter
Charlotte Crosby's boyfriend Mitch Jenkins has never been shy when it comes to revealing the deepest darkest secrets of their relationship – and now Charlotte's got her own back.
Mitch is well known for posting embarrassing tweets about poor Charlotte, including this one a few weeks ago where he busted her for peeing in the bed after a night out:
Waking up in charlottes piss this morning was fun !
— Mitchell Jenkins (@MitchyJenkins) March 13, 2015
Charming. Just over a month ago, he also posted this picture of a totally naked Charlotte asleep in a hotel room:
@Charlottegshore so I guess I'll tidy up all this ok pic.twitter.com/Vg5nbubBZs
— Mitchell Jenkins (@MitchyJenkins) March 4, 2015
Now though, Charlotte totally has the upper hand after she decided it was time to share a "cheeky" snap of Mitch with the world.
Before getting into bed last night, the Geordie Shore star posted this snap of Mitch lying face-down across the mattress, with his bum on show, captioning it "1st Gotta move Mr naked vertical.So I can actually get in the bed, hope I don't get accidentally c*ck slapped":
1st Gotta move Mr naked vertical.So I can actually get in the bed hope I don't get accidentally cock slapped pic.twitter.com/pB7A9g9KPp
— Charlotte Crosby (@Charlottegshore) April 16, 2015
Loving the choice of emojis, Charlotte. Win.
Charlotte got back together with Mitch the beginning of this year, just six months after he reportedly dumped her "by text" just before she headed into the Geordie Shore house for filming.
The couple put their differences behind them in January and confirmed their reunion with a series of couple selfies from their holiday in New York.
Wonder if their relationship can survive #bumgate, though?!

Even though the neighborhood is very lively, it is absolutely quiet in our apartment. It is located in the rear building and so you don´t hear the surroundings.The studio is modern equipped.The kitchen/ kitchenette has a single (!) induction stove (=one burner), dishwasher, washing machine, coffee maker, food processor, kettle and fridge. Please note that we don´t have an oven or a microwave.
You have access to the whole apartment. I won't be in the flat when you are there. You can always text/ email or call me if you have questions or if any issues occur. Even if I am not there physically, I will be there for you!
You will find endless cafés. restaurants and shops in walking distance. Prenzlauer Berg is said to have the highest desity of restaurants and cafés in Germany. There is access to public transportation just around the corner. The next station "Schönhauser Allee" is 100m from our home. You will find U-Bahn, S-Bahn, (Metro-)Tram and busses there. The apartment is very well connected to airport Tegel (20 minutes, 1 change) and airport Schönefeld (40 minutes, direct connection) and the main station (20 minutes, 1 change). You will probably get answers from my wife Miriam.

Numbers Confusion
We are having an ice storm here in Central Texas, so between catching up on some work, I followed a link a colleague sent me. This is to just too funny! No wonder us bookkeeping geeks get all flustered sometimes – too many numbers!


text:
Assalaamu'alaikum Wr. Wbt.
If you've a chance to send a letter to yourself, when and what would it be? For me, I chose when I was 14 because that's when I started to be fully responsible for my deeds – baligh (I know I know. I'm a late bloomer). 14 – when friends are most important, hormones are raging, people's judgments are your "mirror", dunya over Deen (religion), etc.
Dear 14-year old Shikin,
Life is short, so live it right because there's a permanent life after death. Death doesn't come at old age only. Angel of death can visit you anytime. So be wary of your intentions and actions because you've fully accountable for your own deeds now.
Mama and Abah have given you the proper education and religion to prepare you for this life and the hereafter. Mama and Abah may put you into a secular school but it's because they had no choice. They tried. Allah SWT knows they have given their best, it's up to you to do the rest. It's up to you to seek knowledge about your own religion. You're not too young, it's your responsibility now.
Friends and peer pressure are what you should be concerned the most now. At this age, you're easily swayed. Your Imaan (faith) goes up and down as fast as the waves in the sea changes its form. When you see your friends are better off than you, you would want to be as good as them. When they have branded school bags, you'd be influenced to own one too. When they have pretty straight hair, you'd go to the extent of waking up earlier for school just to straighten it when in fact that's not your natural.
Having boyfriend at your age is a reassurance of your value. If you don't have one, you're not as valuable as the other female friends of yours. Know that you're able to choose anyone, not because you're a gem, but because the guys too, they want to feel valued. You can be a Queen Bee, but if all the guys have a taste of you, what will you be left to save your dignity? How are you going to face your future husband?
Trends shouldn't be a reflection of who you should be. When you look into the mirror, are you, you or are you a victim of trend? Know that trend is one of the most dangerous aspects of everyone's life because it can turn you into someone materialistic without you realising. When you come to a point where you have no money left to buy those in-trend stuff and you had to work for it, you'll realise that you've become an addict. Are you a slave of trend or are you a slave of Allah SWT?
Mama and Abah. Do not neglect them. At your age, it's easy to overlook their feelings. Just by saying "tsk" can hurt them so badly. I know friends are important, but family can never be compared to them. You should know your priority. Who brought you up? Who wakes up in the middle of the night and pray for you? Who gives you pocket money?
Religion may not be the most important part of your life at this age. But like I've said earlier on, Angel of death will visit you anytime. When it comes, it's too late. Your book of deeds is as clean as a white cloth now. How are you going to compose your book of deeds? On Judgment Day, you'll be accountable for your own book and your friends will be accountable for theirs. If anything goes wrong, you can't point your fingers on them because you chose to be with them.
It's a challenging stage of life for you. But know that Allah SWT is always there for you when all of your friends go against you. Allah SWT is always there for you when you feel down. You don't need a boyfriend to cheer you up cz he can only cheer you up when he's there with you. When he's not, you'll be crying yourself to sleep. Be happy genuinely because you know Allah SWT will always protect you.
I understand it's difficult to resist your teenage desires. But I assure you that you won't regret it when you grow up or when you enter heaven, InsyaAllah. Busy yourself with what Allah SWT wants from you. Choose your friends wisely. Choose those who can bring you closer to Allah SWT. Make Rasulullah SAW your only "boyfriend". He will teach you everything that you need to live in this life and please keep yearning to meet him in heaven. When you see all your friends succumbing their lives to trends, feel liberated because you're free from this evil system of life. Be nice to your elderly because they're getting older. Be a gem in the society. It's rare to see people of your age contributing back to the society where in actual fact, society needs strong, enthusiastic and committed people like you.
Don't worry, Shikin. It's okay to make mistakes along the way. It's okay to feel left out by other teenagers because wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it and right is right, even if no one is doing it. Be a righteous person and be a servant of Allah SWT. In the end, you're only concern of what Allah SWT thinks of you because He's the One who will reward you in the Hereafter.
24-year old Shikin

Friend of the podcast Bill Toms stops by to discuss his excellent new album Good for My Soul. In the process of me exploring my geek love for his music, we explore Bill's musical influences, the difference between love and infatuation, and Bill surprises me with a literary connection that I should have seen all along.
You can find out about all things Bill Toms from his official website. Updates can also be found at Bill's Facebook Page, and please do consider going to one or both of the Good for My Soul LP Release Shows, on October 20th and 21st in 2017 at Club Cafe in Pittsburgh.
I don't think we swear, but it's just too much of a pain to take the explicit tag off in iTunes.

Summer Activities for Kids
Summer Camp at Home – Cheap, Personal, and Fun
Summer activities for kids – isn't it what most parents are thinking about this time of year? I really want my kids to have a great summer. I want them to have fun, stay busy (mostly – a little boredom never hurt anybody), and keep learning.
So I sat down and researched summer activities for kids. And you know what kept coming up in my searching? Summer camps. Cause that's what everyone does during the summer right? But that just feels like more of the same. There is getting up at a certain time, shuttling everyone around, the cost (wow!), and just generally feeling too busy.
I got to thinking – why not do it at home? When I was a kid – we spent the whole summer at home making our own fun. Now, I realize this won't work for everyone – I was a working parent for many years so I "get it". But even if you plan fun, relaxed things for the weekends, you can really create memories with your kids. And isn't reconnecting with loved ones one of the things that simple living is about?
I want them to be kids and have time to just veg. But I also understand the reality of that much time to fill.
A consideration where we live is that the temperatures are very extreme in the summer so we are forced inside for much of the time. Summer activities for kids in Arizona are often things that can be done inside, although outside play is definitely possible with enough water!
My plan is to combine a little of this and a little of that and create a whole awesome list of summer activitites for kids. We're roughly mapping ours out into The Gameplan (see below).
P.S. The nifty PVC pipe kiddie car wash pictured above was an idea we got from here.
Ten Easy Ideas for Summer Camp At Home
Idea #1 – Subscription Boxes
What's more fun than getting a box of cool stuff once a month? There are tons of subscription boxes out there – from arts and crafts to science to samples and food items. My girls are crazy for arts and crafts so I targeted that idea. The boxes aren't free, but seem very reasonable (depending on the membership type they range from $6.99 a month to about $39.95 a month). There are options for digital only or an actual box in the mail and several sites I looked at had multi-child options.
If you decide to order through the links to Green Kid Crafts or Kiwi Crate below, I receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Green Kid Crafts – This is eco arts and crafts. The past projects look really fun! I opted for the two child membership.
UPDATE: Our first Green Kid Crafts box arrived and it was awesome! The crafts were great for even my oldest daughter (she's nearly 10). Everything was beautifully packaged and the kids had so much fun with it!
Kiwi Crate – This is arts and crafts themed. I added the bonus materials to make it stretch a bit more with all of my three girls.
UPDATE: Our first Kiwi Crate arrived and boy was it a hit!! Very nice quality, professionally put together, and my girls were entertained for quite a while with it.
Idea #2 – Science Experiments
Who loves science experiments? Now maybe I'm raising a little nerd herd, but we do! And to be fair – most kids that come over to our house do too. I'm always on the hunt for easy, inexpensive science experiments or projects that we can do at home.
You can find my Pinterest board here:
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Science Projects for Kids on Pinterest.
Idea #3 – Arts and Crafts
My kids are absolutely CRAZY for arts and crafts! We do crafting all year long. But summer time gives us a chance to do some more time-consuming projects. I've put our themed arts and crafts project ideas in my Pinterest boards below.
Idea #4 – Movies
In our house – we like to refer to this as "Movie Afternoon". At least one day a week, we select a movie as a family, pop popcorn, eat licorice, and drink fizzy water while we watch our selection. We usually check something out from the library or catch one of the movies on Netflix. This has been a HUGE hit in summers past so I see no reason why we wouldn't do it again this year.
Idea #5 – Cooking
We're always up for a good cooking project in this house. This year I think I might make it a more formal pursuit. I'm thinking the kids will be in charge of at least one dinner a week – from giving me a grocery list, to prepping and cooking (with supervision!)
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Kids Cooking on Pinterest.
Idea #6 – Library
I'm a huge reader. As a child – my mom took my brother and I to the library once a week during the summer. It was one of my favorite things to do. I still remember how awesome that stack of unread books was that I brought home each week.
We are lucky enough to have an awesome library system and a branch is literally down the street from us (we can walk there!) We're going to do the summer reading program at the library. It's fun, free, and encourages reading. Can't get much better than that!
Idea #7 – Games – Board and Video
My oldest and I love board games. And everyone except me adores video games (the husband especially!) We have a Sony PS3 with the Move system so I prefer games that force the kids to move around. I will admit that I actually LOVE the Just Dance series! And it gets everyone up and moving around. This summer we're planning on trying out the SingStar series. Cause who doesn't love to belt out a few tunes?
Idea #8 – Free Time
Seems a bit counter-intuitive to plan free time, but I want the kids to have time where they need to use their imagination. The rules of free time are simple – no TV or other electronic gadgets. Anything is fair play (except whining or being unkind). Arts and crafts, science, playing with toys, reading, etc are all viable options. I offer no help on helping them find something to do. They are in charge.
I've seen a "Bored Jar" that I think I might try out this summer. In the past I usually just hand over a chore if I hear the dreaded phrase "I'm bored!" but this might make it more fun. You fill the jar with things to do – both chores and ideas for fun. If someone needs something to do, they are always welcome to draw from the jar, but if it's a chore that comes up – you gotta do it!
Idea #9 – Outside Play
We are very lucky to live in a wonderful area with a lot of neighborhood kids to play with. My girls spend LOTS of time outside all year round. It gets a little trickier during the summer because of our extreme heat, but we try to fit in a little bit of park time (early in the morning) and tons of water play/pool time.
The contraption we built in the picture above is one of our attempts to beat the heat! So far it's been a HUGE success and the kids have had a blast with it.
In other parts with milder climes, summer is such a great time to get as much outside play time in as possible. Kids spend too much time indoors during school and when the weather is bad so why not get them outside as much as possible?
Some easy ideas for outside summer activities for kids include sidewalk chalk, hula hoops, riding bikes, hide and seek, and water balloons!
Idea #10 – Learning
I always worry about the "summer slide" each year. It just feels like getting back into the swing of things each school year is sort of painful. We tried workbooks last year, but they were a huge failure. It just felt like more boring worksheets to do.
This school year we've had huge success with online learning tools. The game plan for this summer is to utilize all the wonderful learning tools available out there.
Here's my short list:
Starfall – absolutely LOVE this site! My six year old could play on here for hours.
ABCYa.com – lots of great grade-level appropriate games.
(If you decide to purchase the ABC Mouse service via the link below, I will receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.)
ABC Mouse– this is not a free service and is intended for preschool through kindergarten. You can try it out for free for one month.
UPDATE: This was so much fun! My 3 year old and 6 year old absolutely loved it.
Time 4 Learning– also not a free service, it's like a virtual homeschool…but I hear wonderful things about this site. I'm hoping to use it like a summer school for my 1st grader and 5th grader.
The Unschedule
During the summer, I'm a huge believer in not having every minute scheduled. We like to go with the flow with some exceptions…kids should read, learn, and get some outside playtime EVERY DAY. Other than that – we like to play it by ear!
Here's the rough and tumble lay of the land for each week:
Every Day
1 Hour of Reading
1 Hour of Learning
1 Hour of Outside Play
Twice A Week
Movie Afternoon
Once A Week
Kid's Cooking Night – Plan, Prepare, Clean-up Dinner
Library Trip
Whenever There's A Blank Spot
Free Time
Subscription Boxes (when they arrive!)
Arts and Crafts
Science Experiments
The Gameplan
We have about 9 weeks of summer here in our neck of the woods. I thought it'd be fun to have a theme for each week. I'm assembling all my ideas for each week into a dedicated Pinterest board (cause how fun is Pinterest!?) I'll include the link to each board after each week below.
Week 1 – Bugs
This week it's all things bugs! My middle daughter is crazy for bugs right now so I thought it'd be fun to kick summer off with a buggy bang.
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Bugs on Pinterest.
Week 2 – Happy Monsters
My youngest loves monsters…a lot! So in her honor, we're going to do a monster themed week. We're reading monster books, doing monster crafts, and making monster food!
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Happy Monsters on Pinterest.
Week 3 – Recycling/Being Green
This is an area near and dear to my heart. We're going to focus on upcycling while we craft. Plus, we're going to read books on recycling and do some composting work in our yard.
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Recycling/Being Green on Pinterest.
Week 4 – Dr. Seuss
If the schools can have a Dr. Seuss day – why can't we have a Dr. Seuss week? We adore Dr. Seuss! We're going to make Dr. Seuss T-shirts, read A LOT of Dr. Seuss books, watch Dr. Seuss movies and perhaps do some Dr. Seuss type meals.
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Dr. Seuss on Pinterest.
Week 5 – Dinosaurs
I adored learning about dinosaurs as a kid. My girls haven't really found that spark with dinosaurs yet so I thought this would be a great chance for them to learn more.
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Dinosaurs on Pinterest.
Week 6 – Under the Sea
I guess I should say under and on top of the sea! We're going to learn all about anything sea or ocean related! Crafts, movies, books, and food – it's all ocean for us this week.
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Under the Sea on Pinterest.
Week 7 – Camping
We love camping! My kids haven't gotten to do very much of it (unfortunately)…but we're working to change all that. For this week – we'll camp in our house since some of us have to go to work during the week. But we'll focus on camping food, sleep in our sleeping bags, read camping books, and do a camping related craft.
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Camping on Pinterest.
Week 8 – Superheroes
Superheroes are fabulous! Who doesn't want to spend a week being a super hero? We'll kick this week off creating our own fabulous superhero outfit. Then it's super hero movies, books, food, and crafts for us.
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Superheroes on Pinterest.
Week 9 – Back to School
It's that time of year again! Back to school is just around the corner and we're going to spend this week getting ready. Purchasing school supplies, practicing making school lunches, assembling first day of school outfits, and reading LOTS of books to get my preschooler ready!
Follow Everyday Simple Living {everyday-simple-living.com}'s board Back to School on Pinterest.
Have you ever tried doing summer at home? How'd it go? Any more summer activities for kids you did that we missed? I'd love to hear about it!

We've been working with Bentley for the last five years on a range of launches and car reveals at the world's major auto shows. The first of these this year was at the Geneva Auto Show in March, arguably the most important show in the calendar. It's where all the manufacturers give the press a glimpse at new and future product.
Our task this time around was to reveal a new concept car – the EXP 10 Speed 6 – Bentley's first two-seater vehicle for 30 years and a glimpse into the future of the brands design.
To emphasize it's positioning as a concept rather than a production vehicle we decided to bring to life the cars evolution from scribble to metal. Focusing on specific design elements, we produced a film that blended conceptual drawings and 3D design visualizations with imagery of the actual car.
Referencing unique styling innovations and cues to Bentley's heritage, the film highlighted the car's importance to future Bentley models. The story was reinforced by a speech from Bentley's CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer.
At Shanghai earlier this month we launched the car to the Chinese market – the second biggest for the brand.
Next stop: Frankfurt

"I am so glad that I have Wednesday night off!". This is not a statement from one of my adult friends. No, this line was uttered from one of our students who is clearly feeling overextended in the midst of this holiday season. Jackie, our school counselor, hears lines like this often. She believes that kids should have one night on not one night off.
It's a tough balance. We want to provide our children opportunities to experience and excel and since they are only young for a short period of time we hate to miss the opportunities. In 1981, Tufts professor David Elkind wrote the classic The Hurried Child: Growing Up Too Fast Too Soon in which he said "We hurry our children because we hurry ourselves." Now in its 25th edition, Elkind has updated the book given the rise in technology which has become a complicating factor.
Elkind extols the virtues of the present when mom and dad can simply enjoy the moments they are spending with their child, not necessarily watching them in karate or coaching them in soccer. Merely playing a board game, taking a long walk, or going fishing can provide opportunities for adults and children to dialogue in a calm and thoughtful way.
During the busiest month of the year I hope that we do our best to lighten the load for our children, forsake any desire to revel in our children's success as a symbol of our own gain, and breathe.
