Those of you who follow our community web site (www.codeplex.com/litwarehr) must have noticed that we released two new pieces of guidance:
- LitwareHR V2.0 - an enhanced version of LitwareHR
- Multitenant Database Performance Guide
How to get the docs and bits? http://www.codeplex.com/LitwareHR/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx
What is demonstrated?
These two deliverables cover the "building" aspect of Software + Services, so we were thinking mainly on ISVs with an interest in designing and developing applications that are efficient in this world.
Designing a "back-end as a service":
- Multi-tenancy vs. Isolation
- Application customization: metadata driven application for tenant extensions at the UI, business logic and data access layers.
- Performance and scalability of extensible, multi-tenant applications.
- Service Layer design: functional web services and meta-data web services to enable different consumption experiences (multi-head application)
- Claims based authorization
- Tenant resource provisioning
Designing "front ends" for SaaS applications:
- Designing extensible web clients
- Smart Client with tenant customization, offline operations, claims based authorization and integration with local resources (Desktop search)
Taking advantage of "Cloud Services":
- Integration with Silverlight streaming from the UI (Web and Smart Client) and services layer (programmatic access).
Performance assessment of database extensibility methods:
- Using XML data types vs. fixed columns vs. extension tables with different loads, concurrent users and usage patterns (select vs. update vs. insert)
Release highlights
LitwareHR enhancements highlights:
- Platform upgrade. Updated LitwareHR v2.0 to run on Windows Sever 2008 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (Beta 2). This included leveraging new technologies like Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (ADSLDS), new management APIs and IIS7.
- Data access performance improvement. Based on the results of the Multi-Tenant Database Performance test (see below) updated LitwareHR data access code and tables design.
- Services Enhancements. Created new services leveraging Windows Communication Foundation 3.5 features to enable RSS & REST interfaces.
- Silverlight Streaming mash-up. Augmented LitwareHR services with Silverlight Streaming Services. Demonstrated in the "Submit Video Resume" feature.
- Smart Client Application. Updated the original WPF based Smart Client showing consumption of LitwareHR functional and meta-data services even with offline support
- Vista Gadget. Extended LitwareHR UX a Vista Gadgets consuming REST interfaces.
- Improved guidance deployment. Moved from the old document + readme + bunch of scripts approach to a 100% automated one, including dependencies checking and configuration.
Multi-tenant Database Performance Guide:
- Database extensibility patterns comparison: performance test results for common database extension methods: XML data types vs. Fixed columns vs. Extension tables.
- Test Tools, Scripts and Documentation. In addition to the results of our own testing, we are shipping the tools, scripts and instructions for anybody to repro this tests in their own environments and conditions.
This guide was developed in collaboration with our friends and experts from the patterns & practices team. They provided the labs and helped us design and interpret the results. So, a big thanks to Carlos Farre, performance guru there for all his help.
In the following days, I will write more details about this new release. We hope this release will be useful for you, and we'd love your feedback of course! So please let us know what you think.

On 20 May, 1923, the American steel cargo , built in 1899 by Detroit Shipbuilding Co. and owned at the time of her loss by American Steam Ship Co., sank after a collision with steamer SATURN, May 20, 1923, in dense fog about forty miles southeast of Thunder Bay Island, Lake Huron. No lives were lost; crew rescued by steamer R.L.AGASSIZ and JAMES B.EADS; vessel upbound with 7000 tons of coal.
The freighter EDWARD U. DEMMER sailed but a brief 24 years before a collision sent it to the bottom of fog shrouded Lake Huron. on May 20, 1923.
The steel ship foundered about 40 miles off Thunder Bay after tangling with the steamer SATURN in the early morning hours. Crew members said the ship was gone in about 10 minutes. The sinking occurred so fast they said they barely had time to get away in the two life boats.
Capt. Joseph E. Burke of St. Clair, Mich., and 26 other sailors were rescued. by the passing freighters R.L. AGASSIZ and JAMES B. EADS.
The DEMMER, owned by the Milwaukee Western Fuel Co., was upbound on a trip to, Milwaukee with 7,000 tons of coal. Out of the fog came the ore carrier SATURN, under command of Capt. Z.H. Utley of Marine City, Mich. The SATURN rammed the ill-fated DEMMER on the starboard side. DEMMER crew members said the SATURN backed away then disappeared just as it had appeared out of the gloom. The SATURN's bow was badly crushed and the vessel was leaking.
The crippled steamer stopped at, Port Huron to have part of its load of iron ore removed before going on to a dry dock in Detroit.
Utley denied any responsibility for the crash. A statement he made to a U.S. marine inspection officer was never made public. DEMMER crew members said they barely had to time to get life boats away. Three of the sailors were asleep in the forecastle when the boats came, together. They escaped wearing only their underwear.
The captain of the AGASSIZ searched for lifeboats for three hours in the fog. He said he could hear the cries of the sailors but the fog was so thick he could not find them. A lone survivor, deck hand Niels Kruger of Buffalo, N.Y., was found by the steamer EADS in a lifeboat half filled with water. Kruger was surprised to find his shipmates also survived the accident. He said he thought the rest of the crew went down with the ship.
The survivors also included Fred O'Neil of Marine City, Jess Landridge, Elles Landridge, Richard Jackson and Lynn Folkerts, all of Algonac.
The DEMMER had two other names during its career. It was first called the ADMIRAL and later the J.K. DIMMICK. (Author James Donahue's shipwreck columns appears each week in the Huron Daily Tribune)

Internet trolls are a common thing these days. They're always trying to get a rise out of someone, and are usually heckling someone just for the hell of it. Its pointless really, but some can be appreciated more than others.
Apparently someone decided they were going to attempt to question Rob Zombie here recently. Little did they know, they would be getting a response from Rob Zombie himself.
Rob had shared an interview, and among other replies was a comment solely about his appearance. "When did you become a hipster?" Um, sir, you are questioning a legend in his own right. Watch yourself.
Rob responded by grabbing a picture from the heckler's profile and stating, "Sir, you are in no position to discuss what is hip."
I cannot find the original comment in the sea of responses, but Rob did share an article much like this one that someone wrote in regards to him showing up a troll. All he said was, "Man, if I thought anybody actually read that shit, I would have tried harder to be funny. Who knew?"
He then continued to answer questions in the comment section, and some were just trying to spark smart ass answers. Something tells me Mr. Zombie was having some fun here.
One simply acknowledged Rob's comeback, and anotehr asked a real question.
Rob Zombie is currently off of touring, and clearly finding something to kill the time -the internet. Rob has been quoted saying that a new album should be out sometime in March of 2016, and he will be gearing up for some festivals soon!
These festivals include his own festival that includes haunted houses and performances from Rob Zombie. This goes from September 25, through November 1, though the performances are only on October 2 and 4. For more information please visit the website for Rob Zombie's Great American Nightmare.
In between his performances there, will be the Louder Than Life Festival. A week later will be the Rock Allegiance Festival and the Monster Mash festival on November 1.
Ticket information can be found on the respective websites, and are all worth checking out if you're able.

What is it?
Safety is about standards - setting standards and enforcing standards. The Army Safety and Occupational Health Strategic Plan integrates our efforts and communicates the Army's vision and goals for safety and occupational health.
What has the Army done?
After more than a decade of decreases, accidents increased across the services with the onset of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Army leaders at every level aggressively attacked the causes of the increase and were able to reverse the trend. The Army deployed an array of tools and achieved improvement across the board. These included: the Army Traffic Safety and Training Program (ATSTP) to improve driver safety; weapons immersion to counter unintentional discharge; Ground Risk Assessment Tool; Travel Planning System (TRiPS); Rollover Trainers; vehicle safety enhancements; Driver's Training Toolbox; and Family and peer-to-peer engagement kits.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The Army Safety and Occupational Health Strategic Plan outlines objectives for increasing operational and workplace safety and health and provides strategic planning and direction for Army safety and occupational health programs. It requires developments of action plans to achieve safety and occupational health goals and objectives. Progress towards achieving the goals and objectives will be tracked and periodically reported to Army leadership. The plan reaffirms Composite Risk Management (CRM) as the basis for the Army safety and occupational health program. CRM has proven its value as a decision-making tool for the analysis and control of risks associated with an activity and has been crucial in controlling risk and enhancing readiness.
Why is this important to the Army?
Soldiers, our families and civilians are our most cherished assets. Ensuring their safety and health is a top priority - and everyone's responsibility. The Army is confident the actions outlines in this plan will reduce accidents, illness, and loss, while improving readiness, force stability, and well-being.

Former federal official warns casino revenue deal at risk
HARTFORD, Conn. — A former U.S. Department of Interior secretary is warning Gov. Dannel P. Malloy that Connecticut's current casino revenue sharing arrangement with two federally recognized tribes could end if those tribes are allowed to open a third casino in East Windsor.
In a letter sent Tuesday, Ken Salazar says there's "substantial risk" the Department of Interior won't approve amendments the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes will likely propose to the gambling agreement they now have with the state.
Salazar led the Department of Interior for five years during the Obama Administration. He was hired as a consultant by MGM Resorts International, which is building a casino in Springfield, Massachusetts.
A spokesman for the tribes says MGM is "willing to pay anyone and everyone to stop our project from moving forward."
Andrew Doba, spokesperson for MMCT, the joint tribal venture designed to preserve Connecticut jobs and revenue, released a statement on Tuesday:
"First they paid former Attorney General Eric Holder. Then, they paid Former Senator Joseph Lieberman. Now, they're paying the former Interior Secretary. What does it add up to? That MGM is willing to pay anyone and everyone to stop our project from moving forward because they know our proposal is going to keep jobs and revenue in Connecticut.
By their own math, 45% of the revenue they hope to get for their billion dollar investment is supposed to come from Connecticut residents. That's not going to happen when our facility opens its doors, and they willing to spend whatever it takes to try and stop us." Doba added.

"I read a quote once that said…friendships are the masterpieces of nature." - Big Little Lies (2017)
HBO's Big Little Lies seems deceptively dismissable: luxurious houses and rich women ring a bell, don't they? Often, such problems don't reach a deep emotional layer and are sadly limited to fashion dilemmas and good looking men.
However, this show does something pleasantly unexpected. We're granted extremely well-written and well-rounded female characters.
We are allowed particular glances into the mind and personal sphere of each character, and viewers quickly learn how each woman sees herself, how they are outwardly perceived and how the family dynamics are in each household.
The problems these women face every day (abuse, discrimination, and sexism in ranging degrees) are problems that affect women, families, towns and countries, thus all of us. That is the main point the show strives to make.
In essence, it's a simple, classic murder mystery: somebody was murdered at a fundraiser at Otter Bay, the local school. The three main women are the primary suspects.
However, this occurrence is a mere excuse to explore something endlessly more fascinating: the social intricacies of a largely intolerant town in which it is uncommon to deviate from the status quo.
Many shows all too eagerly focus solely on women backstabbing each other over some hunk. In contrast, Big Little Lies shows us three women bonding through their differences and similarities, helping each other out in difficult times, and providing unconditional support.
All of the women have something in their past that regularly comes back to haunt them.
Queen bee and part time working mom, Madeline (a delightfully sassy Reese Witherspoon), has a new marriage lacking passion. Some part of her hasn't processed that her first husband left her, and it's emotionally straining to regularly run into him and his younger, ostentatiously sexy new wife (Zoë Kravitz).
Young single mom, Jane (Shailene Woodley), has a son born out of sexual assault and has moved to Monterrey as an attempt to leave her past.
Celeste (Nicole Kidman) suffers domestic abuse at the hands of her seemingly perfect husband (Alexander Skarsgård). Her marriage is the one all of the women envy; not even her best friends are aware of what exactly goes on in her home. They only know that the sex is frequent, incredible, and on the rough side. In reality, however, it verges into marital rape.
The abuse is of such a severity that it's a realistic mortal threat to her life, but she suffers in silence out of fear, pride, and love. There's the traditional, manipulative cycle: an aggression followed by a momentary decline in violence when the bruises get a bit much for hubby's conscience, a rose or expensive jewel provided as an apology, and the desperate, pleading, and false promise of "stay and I'll get better" attached to it.
Interestingly, Celeste doubts the abuse altogether because she fights back in self-defense.
The ways in which a husband's marital violence reflect on his children are shown exceptionally. Perry is so sure that the violence he uses against his wife does not affect his children that he overlooks the signs that he is turning one of his children into an abuser. The abuse that Celeste receives and the abuse in the children's school are related by a common factor: everyone is silent and no one betrays the abuser.
We're offered a rare, painfully honest look into the psyche of a woman suffering domestic violence, illustrating every part of the vicious abuse cycle. Most admirably, there is no victim blaming.
The show builds toward a highly satisfying finale for all its main female characters. In the end, they are obliged to unite against a common threat. They have brought each other to an ultimate personal freedom, which is vastly unique in television.
Each actress and actor is allowed to demonstrate their chops fully. The director of the show, Jean-Marc Vallée, usually directs films and to some degree, that shows. The series has a highly cinematic quality, and there's a sophistication to the handheld camerawork that's rare in TV.
One performance that has been blatantly disregarded is Shailene Woodley's as Jane Chapman. Jane suffers from PTSD. Her character frequently jogs by the ocean, always paired with the isolation of her headphones. By means of therapy, we get to see flashes of her past.
At times, Jane is overwhelmed and scared by her own memories and even her son. She fears he'll display violent behavior (like his father), but she loves him unconditionally and raises him to the best of her ability. It's a difficult role.
Woodley has an understated calmness and elegance here, and it stands in stark contrast to the internal pain she is battling. This turbulence is conveyed with an admirable ease and transparency.
Some claim Woodley is still too young and inexperienced an actress to handle it. I found it highly refreshing to see her play a grown woman and I think she handled it with grace.
After Jane confides in one of the women about what has happened in her past, we no longer see her go jogging alone. Instead, they share their struggles and pain in silent unison, a symbol of their unbreakable bond.
What's ultimately so powerful about Big Little Lies is that it shows something that a lot of women probably already know: women should help and stand up for other women when they are suffering.
This concluding, poignant message is the only true way for each of us to reach personal liberation. A life lived in absence of fear is a blissful one.
"The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear."

We believe in our clients' inner strength and ability to change. We know that drug addicts and alcoholics can recover with an addiction recovery program that is right for them. Atlantic Recovery Center offers an intimate safe and loving setting in which to recover and allowing us to really focus on each individual clients needs. Our Staff is dedicated to helping people achieve long-term recovery so that they are able to live normal lives again. We don't allow our clients to get lost in the shuffle and believe that our success rate with clients getting and staying clean and sober directly correlates to the family atmosphere and the tons of love and acceptance that they receive while in our care. Our clients leave with all the tools necessary to rebuild their lives AND the knowledge that they are never alone.
Individual Strength
We know that the right addiction recovery plan can provide valuable support that is critical to an individual's successful recovery. However, it is the individual, not the center, that determines the end result. Therefore, we provide our patients with every tool at our disposal to teach them how to live without the crutch of addictive substances and why their lives depend on it. Through counseling, our patients learn how to tap their own inner strength as well as outside support, both during their transition to a sober lifestyle and long after the initial recovery period At Atlantic Recovery Center.
Addressing Deeper, Underlying Issues
We realize that for the majority of people, substance abuse is a symptom of deeper, underlying issues. Our trained clinicians and specialists help clients realize and resolve these issues. We rely on the principles in the 12-step programs of recovery because they have helped hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of alcoholics and addicts to recover. We know that any addict or alcoholic can recover with the right education and tools and that although the beginning of that journey may maybe the hardest it can be the most rewarding. We are honored to be with our clients at the beginning of that journey.
Aftercare Program & The Road to Success
Our addiction treatment center offers 12-step meetings, and we encourage all of our clients to continue working the 12 steps once their treatment plan has been completed. Many treatment programs offer the promise of recovery, but recovery is a continuous process that must be carried on after the initial rehabilitation. Our case management team and aftercare program work relentlessly to ensure that every client leaves our facility with all that they need for a smooth transition; from rehab support back into the "real world.
We assist our clients with contacting sober living facilities, information for furthering their education, transportation if necessary and any other services that may be of help on discharge.
Drinking and drugging are defective defense mechanisms and are used to deny problems, feelings, and other issues. Our philosophy entails intensive group and individual therapy to help uncover these issues and prevent relapse. We know and stress that sometimes the hardest step is the first one — accepting that one needs an addiction treatment program. Once an individual has done that, he or she has hope. Our goal is to take our patients from hoping for a successful recovery to achieving it while at Atlantic Recovery Center.
Our Alumni
We have a strong connection with our Alumni, who often visit current clients during activities to show that a life without drugs and alcohol is possible and enjoyable. We need our clients to see for themselves that complete recovery is very attainable and that it really works if they allow themselves to be helped.
Our hand picked Clinical Team have many many years of experience with treating drug and alcohol addiction. There is nothing that they haven't seen and really impact clients with both group and individual sessions. With an array of different therapeutic techniques and discussion topics, the clients are kept constantly engaged and build on their knowledge and insight in to the disease on a daily basis.

Editor's note: The Oct. 12 Brooklyn social club shooting was removed from this database after police released that one of the four people killed was the shooter.
The places change, the numbers change, but the choice of weapon remains the same. In the United States, people who want to kill a lot of other people most often do it with guns.
Public mass shootings account for a tiny fraction of the country's gun deaths, but they are uniquely terrifying because they occur without warning in the most mundane places. Most of the victims are chosen not for what they have done but simply for where they happen to be.
There is no universally accepted definition of a public mass shooting, and this piece defines it narrowly. It looks at the public shootings in which four or more people were killed by a lone shooter (two shooters in a few cases). It does not include shootings tied to gang disputes or robberies that went awry, and it does not include domestic shootings that took place exclusively in private homes. A broader definition would yield much higher numbers.
Public mass shootings are a small slice of gun deaths
Source: Gun Violence Archive. Excludes the roughly 22,000 annual gun suicides, which are not publicly reported in real time.
This tally begins Aug. 1, 1966, when a student sniper fired down on passersby from the observation deck of a clock tower at the University of Texas. By the time police killed him, 17 other people were dead or dying. As Texas Monthly's Pamela Colloff wrote, the shooting "ushered in the notion that any group of people, anywhere — even walking around a university campus on a summer day — could be killed at random by a stranger."
Search for details of a particular shooting. The most recent is selected.
1,211 killed
The people who were killed came from nearly every imaginable race, religion and socioeconomic background. Their ages range from the unborn to the elderly; were children and teenagers. In addition, thousands of survivors were left with devastating injuries, shattered families and psychological scars.

We believe College Career Centers need more resources!
If a departments funding per student served as an indication of where college administrators placed the departments importance to the college, the Career Center would be near the bottom. At the top would be the admissions office!
Its not unusual for private colleges to invest $3,000 to recruit each admitted student. ($1,000 for state colleges). Surveys conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers have found that the average Career Centers budget, not including salaries, is roughly $34,000 per year. Assuming the average college had 2,000 students of which 400 graduate each year, the average invested in each graduate would be $85.
Is this sending the right message to prospective students, parents, current & graduating students and alumni?
In todays tough job market, students need more help in deciding which industry and career will best suit their education, skills, behavior and passion. They also need more help in understanding how to search for a job, organize the search, and handle interviews. Very little of this can happen when the Career Center has only $85 to invest in each graduating senior.
Please help our students become better prepared for their careers and job search by providing more resources to the Career Centers! Reallocate resources to the Career Centers!

There are few breadwinners in America today who can afford to hire 35 servants, each working 40 hours a week, to help them perform their housework. Yet the average householder now has equivalent help without even being aware of the fact and at a cost of less than $100 per year. The one servant which does the jobs of so many servants is electricity. The average U. S. home now has at least nine major appliances working to save time, effort and money for the home owner, A television set, radio, washer, electric clock, iron, refrigerator, toaster, vacuum cleaner and coffeemaker are owned by almost every family, along with a host of other electric "servants", such as shavers, mixers, ranges, heating pads and water heaters. In addition, one out of every Ten homes boasts an air -conditioner, automatic bed covering, blender, broiler, dishwasher, clothes dryer, garbage disposal unit and roaster ... all electrically operated.

With the rising cost of living, the paychecks of-servants have also risen. But the electric servant now works for less money than just ten years ago. In fact, the cost of living has risen 90 percent over the 1935-39 level, but the electric index is down 8 percent.* In 1929, the average home's annual electric bill was $31.78. Today, it is only three times'lhat figure, even though the same home uses five times as much electricity. By 1975, it is predicted that an average home may use 25,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. Compared to one-tenth that amount at present.

Breakfast is important for toddlers and kids, but with all that needs to happen to get a family out of the house each day, kid breakfasts are often rushed. To help, these healthy toddler breakfast ideas are easy meals that you can assemble in minutes or make ahead of time. So you can get a healthy toddler meal onto the highchair with plenty of time to feed yourself too!
Healthy Toddler Breakfast Ideas
There is a lot to choose from when it comes to deciding on breakfasts, but these are the 10 best that I'll be covering in this post:
- Snack plate
- Smoothies
- Overnight Oats
- Pancakes (with a make-ahead option!)
- Eggs
- Oatmeal
- Veggie toast
- Breakfast Cookies
- Healthy Muffins
- Quesadillas
Read on for more specifics on how to serve up the healthiest version of each of these breakfast ideas!
Breakfast Ideas for Kids—Even Picky Ones!
My biggest recommendation for picky toddlers is to have a handful of regular breakfasts that they see often to keep a variety of foods in rotation. Toddlers love routine and familiarity, so if you serve something once or twice a week, they are more inclined (usually) to eat it. As an example, we have oatmeal two mornings a week in my house and everyone eats it. Just making that one choice eliminates some of the decision making and can help toddlers know what to expect at breakfast.
How to Serve Balanced Toddler Breakfasts, Step-by-Step
Toddlers need balanced meals so try to serve a food from most of these food groups during most meals.
- Carbohydrates: foods like whole grains, fruit, and veggies like sweet potatoes provide long lasting energy.
- Protein: Found in meat, eggs, dairy, nuts, seeds, and legumes, mostly, protein helps little bodies to grow and also helps to keep toddlers feeling satisfied longer. This means that those requests for snacks may be less frequent!
- Healthy fats: Babies and toddlers need fats for proper brain development, especially up until age 2. (It is not recommended that kids under age two are on fat restricted diets.) You can find healthy fats for toddlers in avocado, flax and chia seeds, nuts, fish (particularly salmon and sardines), egg yolks, and whole milk dairy (particularly grass-fed since the grass has higher levels of omega fatty acids).
- Produce: Fruits and vegetables of all kinds and colors provides the vitamins and minerals toddlers need for immunity and proper development. And they just taste good!
And now, the specifics on these healthy kid breakfast ideas!
Toddler Breakfast #1: Snack Plate
Snack plates are a great option for snack time, dinner, AND breakfast. Include a low-sugar dry cereal or crackers, some protein in the form of cheese, cottage cheese, some nut butter, or an egg or salami, and fruit. So easy and variable! (Sprinkles optional.)
Little Kid Breakfast Idea #2: Smoothies
Toddler smoothies are an excellent way to offer fruit, veggies, protein, and fat for breakfast. You can keep them simple with this formula: 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup frozen banana, 1/2 cup fruit (like berries or mango), and 1/4 cup veggies (baby spinach, raw cauliflower, roasted and mashed sweet potato), and 1 tablespoon nut butter or hemp seeds. Or, simply blend 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt with 1/2 cup strawberries and ta-da! Yogurt Smoothie!
TRY: Healthy Toddler Smoothies with Hidden Veggies.
Toddler Breakfast Idea #3: Overnight Oats
With yogurt, fruit, and carbohydrates, overnight oats are a nutritious toddler breakfast that are so easy to make ahead. Plus, they are usually nice and thick, which makes them easier for toddlers to eat with a spoon. (We also regularly pack overnight oats in our toddler lunches.)
TRY: Applesauce Overnight Oats
Toddler Breakfast Idea #4: Pancakes
Every Sunday morning when we have pancakes, I stash a few leftover ones in a zip top freezer bag and tuck them in the freezer. They reheat in 30-60 seconds (flip it over halfway through for even heating) and are great topped or sandwiched with nut butter, cream cheese, or Greek yogurt.
TRY: Fluffy Applesauce Pancakes or Allergy-Friendly Banana Pancakes
Toddler Breakfast #5: Eggs, Fruit, and a Whole Grain
Bake a dozen eggs to hard-cooked perfection and keep in the fridge for easy toddler breakfasts. Serve with toast sticks, cut up fruit, or even a leftover veggie. And remember that it's okay if your toddler is still learning to like both the white and the yolk—they both have very unique textures!
TRY: Scrambled or hard cooked eggs to see if they have a preference, or try Make-Ahead Egg Muffins!
Little Kid Breakfast Idea #6: Oatmeal
Many kids seem to either love or hate oatmeal, but with so many different ways to serve it, it's entirely possible that you can find oatmeal your toddlers like. Play with texture—they might prefer the smoother consistency of quick oats over rolled oats—and add-ins. Try grated apple or raisins one week and diced dried mango or strawberries the next. And let them add toppings! Nut butter, seeds, and even sprinkles are yummy options.
TRY: 15 Oatmeal Recipes for Toddlers
Toddler Breakfast Idea #7: Sweet Potato Toast
You could try the trendy slice of sweet potato in the toaster idea, or simply spread mashed roasted sweet potato onto toast and sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Drizzle on nut butter or pair with a smear of cream cheese to take it even further. Cut into cubes or sticks as needed for a breakfast idea for a 1 year old or 2 year old.
Toddler Breakfast Idea #8: Breakfast Cookies
Want to win some extra hugs in the morning? Serve up breakfast cookies! This is a fun idea and one that can make a day when a kiddo wakes up on the wrong side of the bed turn right around. Pair with some protein from a glass of milk, a little cheese, or a egg.
TRY: Healthy Oatmeal Cookies with Carrots and Apples
Toddler Breakfast Ideas #9: Muffins
Bake a batch of muffins whenever you have the time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until ready to serve. Warm slightly (or warm all the way through if reheating from frozen) to make them taste like they're straight out of the oven.
TRY: Banana Blueberry Muffins or Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins
Toddler Breakfast #10: Breakfast Quesadillas
Warm cheese, snipped spinach, and beans in a tortilla and bam, breakfast! You can add diced ham or scrambled eggs, or change up the veggies. But serving a savory breakfast is an excellent (and easy) way to start the day. Warm the quesadilla in a skillet just until the cheese melts or you could even cheat and do it in the microwave for a few seconds…I won't tell!
What's the best way to keep toddler breakfasts quick and easy?
Have some options at the ready! It's entirely okay to have cereal or toast mornings, but if you want your kids to regularly eat other foods, then you need to make them available. Making a batch of muffins or a pot of oatmeal for everyone to enjoy (even if you do it in the slow cooker while you sleep!) can be a big help towards making that first meal happier for everyone. And prep some fruit and/or veggies ahead so they're ready to go come morning.
How to Pack a Toddler Breakfast for Daycare
I know that some families take their kids to daycare in the morning and need to send a breakfast. If you need to pack a toddler breakfast for daycare, I recommend investing in this thermos (or a similar one) or a kid-friendly lunchbox. Then, you can pack almost anything that your toddler eats at home, with consideration to what they can more easily eat on their own. So it might be better to send them a cut up pancake instead of a cup of yogurt if they are still working on their spoon skills.

Clean water advocate to swim LI Sound to East River
A clean water advocate who says he's sickened by the amount of pollution in New York City waterways is hoping to shed light on the issue.
Christopher Swain has taken on numerous swims through polluted waters, including a dip in the Gowanus Canal and Newtown Creek near Greenpoint last year.
On Thursday, he plans to start swimming in Montauk, at the end of Long Island, and swim the entire length of the Long Island Sound to the East River and conclude his swim at Pier 4.
Swain says health officials routinely advise him against going in the water, but he ignores those pleas so he can promote his cause.
Swain's plan is to swim four to six hours a day, taking some breaks in between. He hopes to complete his swim by the end of October.

Welcome to the OFFICIAL 'About The Author' page of:
Leslie Tate
Leslie Tate completed 'Violet' in 2018. Leslie is a trans person, similar to Eddie Izzard or Grayson Perry, who writes about modern love.
'Purple' the first part of Leslie's trilogy, is a coming-of-age tale, set in 1969. It follows the story of Matthew Lavender who enters a 'free love' situation at college knowing absolutely nothing about sex or relationships. Through trial and error, Matthew discards his 'cooler than thou' mask and begins to relate as an adult.
The second novel, 'Blue', tells the story of Richard and Vanessa Lavender, who join a 90s feminist collective sharing childcare, political activism and open relationships…
In 'Violet', the third novel, The passionate, late-life love of Beth and James begins in 2003 on a blind date in a London restaurant. From then on they bond, exchanging love-texts, exploring sea walks and gardens and sharing their past lives with flashbacks to Beth's rural childhood and her marriage to a dark, charismatic minister…
Leslie's transgender memoir 'Heaven's Rage' explores addiction, cross-dressing and the hidden sides of families, discovering at their core the transformative power of words to rewire the brain and reconnect with life. 'Heaven's Rage' has been turned into a film.
AUTHOR: Leslie Tate
Leslie Tate studied Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia and has been shortlisted for the Bridport, Geoff Stevens and Wivenhoe Prizes. He's the author of the trilogy of novels, 'Purple', 'Blue' and 'Violet', as well as his trans memoir 'Heaven's Rage', which has been turned into a film.
On his website https://leslietate.com/ Leslie posts up weekly creative interviews and guest blogs showing how people use their imagination in life, in many different ways. He also runs a comedy club, a poetry group and a mixed arts show in Berkhamsted, UK where he lives with his wife, children's and adult author, Sue Hampton.
The passionate, late-life love of Beth and James begins in 2003 on a blind date in a London restaurant. Attracted by James's openness, Beth feels an immediate, deep connection between his honesty and her own romantic faith. From then on they bond, exchanging love-texts, exploring sea walks and gardens and sharing their past lives with flashbacks to Beth's rural childhood and her marriage to a dark, charismatic minister.
Telling stories runs in Beth's family, so she keeps up with her friends, following their efforts to find love in a soulless, materialistic world. But Beth's own passion for giving and commitment is pushed to the limit as she and James struggle with her divorce problems, each other's children, and life-threatening illness. In the end, tested by pain, they discover something larger than themselves that goes beyond suffering and loss…
Violet is a captivating novel narrated through letters, diary entries, instant messages, poems, and other writings that create a multi-textured depth to the storyline. Leslie Tate's fluid, musical sentence structure, vivid use of imagery and description, and skilful storytelling bring to life a memorable protagonist in the character of Beth Jarvis, an imaginative and sensitive woman. A pleasure to read!
Violet is a beautifully written study of life: its trials and tribulations as well as its joys and delights. It tackles many of the most important questions of humanity – the dichotomy of religion and faith, duty and free-spiritedness, imprisonment and freedom, sickness and health, battle and surrender and, of course, love in its many manifestations. The 'love in later life' story centres around Beth and James, both of whom have a failed marriage behind them but both of whom are willing to take the ultimate risk of starting again, seizing the day and opening themselves to the happiness as well as the heartache that love can bring. The plot is revealed through a variety of techniques: narratives, conversations, phone calls, letters, poetry, dreams and imaginative descriptions of photographs and a garden map. It is poignant, happy, sad and sensitively-written with many references to art, poetry, architecture, music, faith and nature which are all important to the protagonists. Beth and James experience intense joy as well as deep despair and anguish and are not afraid to show their vulnerability, anger, sense of injustice and coping strategies in a very open and honest way which draws the reader in. Throughout the book we get to really know them – their life experience, love of nature, spirituality, appreciation of the arts and their deep and immortal love. We are, indeed, taken to 'the place where love makes us whole'.

From the New Castle Historical Society:
Michael Connolly
New Castle Historical Society
302-322-8923 (fax)
On Saturday, July 9 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. the public is invited to visit the Dutch House museum site in Old New Castle to learn about recent archaeological discoveries made at the site. The New Castle Historical Society, which owns the Dutch House property, hired John Milner Associates to conduct an archaeological investigation of the rear portion of the Dutch House property. The final day of the investigation is Saturday, July 9.
Visitors will have an opportunity to speak with professional archaeologists to learn why archaeology is important in understanding the past, what the process is to conduct an archaeological investigation, and why it is important to study the Dutch House site. The archaeologists will also discuss their preliminary findings at the site, and discuss how these findings may affect our understanding of this property as well as early New Castle and Delaware history.
While the Dutch House was built between 1690 and 1710, the property contained an earlier log structure that existed by 1682. No above ground evidence of this earlier log structure exists, but there may be evidence underground that helps us understand how people lived on and used this property from the 17th through the 20th centuries.
This is the first archaeological investigation on the Dutch House property. In preparation for this investigation, last fall John Milner Associates used ground penetrating radar to study the site, and identified the locations of several underground anomalies. These anomalies indicate possible historic features that may yield evidence of early structures or other features that will help us understand how the site was used. The current investigation is exploring these anomalies further and attempting to identify exactly what they represent.
The Dutch House museum is located at 32 East 3rd Street in Old New Castle. Tours of the Dutch House are offered Wednesday through Saturday at 11:00, 1:00 and 3:00 and Sunday at 1:00 and 3:00. Tour tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for children ages 6-12 and are can be purchased at the Amstel House, 2 East 4th Street.
ABOUT: The New Castle Historical Society operates three historic buildings for guided tours for individuals and groups. The Society is also involved in educating the public about the history of New Castle through exhibits, programs, lectures, publications, and resource materials. The Society works to promote historical awareness and encourage the preservation of historical architecture and material culture of New Castle. The New Castle Historical Society is an incorporated, non-profit membership organization, with 501 (C) 3 IRS status.

Report 596 – Shavingjuanamaroa | 03.16.2007 | Reports - Girlish Essence
My Very Dear Superiors,
This sissy would never have dared have this great moment of liberation without your encouragement and the example of the sisters in this house. Going to the supermarket became a moment of joy when i bought the cream to depilate and also shaving cream to be on the safe side. i carried them quite openly and proudly, even hoping someone would see them and know they were for my legs. When i got home, i filled the tub with hot water and soaked for ten minutes as instructed. When i saw my legs becoming smooth and the hair floating on the water i knew i was home. That hair represented the male i wanted to leave behind. Shaving my armpits was a glorious experience. This sissy emerged pure and shining.

30 Essential Ingredients Every Thanksgiving Dinner Needs
Bring out the casserole dishes, roasting pans and turkey baster — it's almost time to throw a hearty and delectable Thanksgiving meal.
You might have all the necessary tools to cook your turkey dinner, but have you finalized your Thanksgiving dinner menu yet? If not, that's okay. You still have time to run to your nearest grocery store and grab everything you need to create the ultimate Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings. From side dishes to dessert, click through to see everything you need and save money on your dinner.
1. Turkey
Estimated Cost: $0.98/lb.
Whether you're a traditionalist or not, the turkey is going to be the main event at the Thanksgiving dinner table — and there are so many ways you can cook it. Roast it, fry it, bake it or brine it for the moistest turkey of the season. Serve it with stuffing or roasted vegetables — or a combination of both — for the ultimate Thanksgiving feast.
2. Sweet Potatoes
Estimated Cost: $1.00/lb.
Make them the old-fashioned way with marshmallows, get fancy with bourbon and cider, or keep it simple and bake a pie. No matter which route you take, you'll need plenty of sweet potatoes on hand to create this much-loved Thanksgiving side.

3. Cubed Stuffing
Estimated Cost: $2.44
You can buy bags of cubed seasoned stuffing from the grocery store to save time and money by preparing the stuffing mix on your own. Find a mix that only requires chicken broth, butter, celery and onion. In just a few minutes, you'll have a savory side dish.

4. Fresh Cranberries
Estimated Cost: $1.98
If you plan on serving cranberry sauce at the dinner table this season, you'll need about a 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries to mix with sugar and orange or lemon zest per batch. Cranberries can also be used in baked goods, like muffins and breads, or in your favorite pancake mix for a delicious Thanksgiving brunch.
5. Pumpkin Pie Mix
Estimated Cost: $2.98
Even if you don't have any pumpkin pie fans at the Thanksgiving dinner table this year, the mix might come in handy when you make pumpkin breads, pumpkin muffins and other baked goods. You can also use pumpkin pie mix to make pumpkin pancakes for brunch.
Or, you can ditch the mix, and take advantage of one of these pie sales.
6. Buttermilk
Estimated Cost: $2
This is an easy one to overlook in the dairy aisle since only a handful of holiday recipes call for buttermilk. But if you plan on making zesty mashed potatoes or a rich chocolate cake this holiday season, you'll need at least a few cups to achieve the richer flavors.
7. Whipping Cream
Estimated Cost: $2.34
Whether you're serving up slices of pumpkin pie or want to treat your guests to rich desserts like a stacked applesauce cake or dense chocolate cake, a few dollops of whipped cream will please any sweet tooth. Try something different with a cinnamon-flavored whipped cream.
8. Pie Shells
Estimated Cost: $2.16
Homemade pie is hard to turn down — no matter how stuffed a guest might be after the main course. You'll need a few sets of pre-made pie shells for pumpkin pie, chocolate pie and any fruit pies you plan on serving this holiday. Just keep in mind you may need to pre-bake the shell if the filling has to be refrigerated instead of baked.
9. Green Peas
Estimated Cost: $0.98
You can serve plain green peas as a side or flavor them with bacon and other seasonings for a twist. Green peas in a bowl will brighten up the Thanksgiving dinner table and complement any main course or side dish you serve.
10. Carrots
Estimated Cost: $0.68/lb.
Sautéed or honey-glazed carrots are a welcome addition to any Thanksgiving meal. If you plan on serving homemade carrot cake alongside pumpkin pie this season, you'll need to grate more to get a few cups for your recipe.
11. Celery
Estimated Cost: $2.28
You'll need plenty of celery to make homemade stuffing and put together appetizer platters with veggies and dip for your holiday guests this season. Celery can also add some flavor to a basic salad.
12. Bread Rolls
Estimated Cost: $2-$4
Unless you plan on pulling out the bread maker this season, the easiest way to serve tasty rolls alongside your Thanksgiving entrees is by baking up some pre-made bread rolls. Just place the rolls on a baking sheet and brush them with melted butter for a straight-from-the-bakery taste.
13. Butter
Estimated Cost: $3.58
Thanksgiving is one of the few times during the year you can be generous with butter. Whether you're baking rolls or making rich desserts, you'll need a few sticks of high-quality butter to serve at the dinner table and to use behind the scenes.
14. Margarine
Estimated Cost: $1.57
Candied sweet potatoes and roasted vegetable sides might all call for a few tablespoons of margarine in the recipe. Even your buttermilk mashed potatoes will likely need some margarine in the mix.
15. Flour
Estimated Cost: $3.49
Flour is a staple of the holiday baking lineup, and you'll also need flour to mix up some homemade gravy and to line your pie plates, casserole dishes and crockpot. A bountiful Thanksgiving menu with old-fashioned pecan pie, homemade rolls and other baked goods will require this staple ingredient.
16. White Sugar
Estimated Cost: $2.40
From sugar cookies to cheesecake, you'll need some white sugar to round out your pantry this holiday season. You'll also need white sugar to sweeten up cranberry sauce and tart apples for your holiday pies.
17. Brown Sugar
Estimated Cost: $2.08
You'll need brown sugar when baking up a batch or two of pumpkin chocolate brownies and also for your classic Thanksgiving sides, like brown sugar-glazed sweet potatoes with marshmallows. And don't forget to add a brown sugar and butter crumb mixture to your apple pies, tarts and other desserts this season.
18. Honey
Estimated Cost: $5.98
You can substitute honey for granulated sugar in some of your recipes, but this ingredient is a must-have when you're making honey-roasted turkey, honey-glazed carrots and other savory dishes that call for a little sweetness. If you're looking to bake up some treats this holiday season, try making cookies with honey — they'll please any sweet tooth.
19. Chicken Broth or Stock
Estimated Cost: $2.08
You'll need chicken broth or stock for your homemade stuffing this Thanksgiving, as well as for homemade soups. This is another versatile ingredient that you can use in multiple recipes. It pays to have a larger stock on hand — especially if it's on sale — through the holiday season.
20. Cornbread Mix
Estimated Cost: $2.39
Cornbread mix is a pantry staple year round, and you might find yourself using more of it as we head into the holiday season of comfort foods. You'll need cornbread mix to make a tasty corn casserole as a side dish or in some crock pot dishes.
21. Onions
Estimated Cost: $2
Chopped, diced or sliced, onions are going to make their way into your homemade stuffing, cornbread and other side dishes. You might also sauté onions with garlic and other seasonings to make your vegetable sides.
22. Garlic
Estimated Cost: $2.98
Whether you're roasting up a garlic butter turkey or want to amplify the flavors of other baked dishes this season, stock up on fresh, minced or chopped garlic. Garlic is one of the most versatile ingredients you can have on hand in any season, and you'll need it to create bold flavors for your Thanksgiving feast.
23. Green Beans
Estimated Cost: $1.78
Green bean casserole usually comes to mind when people talk about Thanksgiving. But give your green beans a twist. Top them with Parmesan cheese, or marinate them with balsamic and other dressings.
24. Cream of Mushroom Soup
Estimated Cost: $2.60
You'll need a couple cans of cream of mushroom soup if you plan on making a few dishes of green bean casserole. Cream of mushroom soup can also be cooked with rice to make a flavorful side or to add some new flavors to your Thanksgiving leftovers. Or, use the soup to make a sauce for chicken, pork or turkey dishes.
25. French's Crispy Fried Onions
Estimated Cost: $3.64
You'll need French's Crispy Fried Onions to top off your green bean casserole the traditional way. But you can also use these crispy fried onions to add a flavorful crunch to salads and side dishes. If you're making some alternative dishes for picky eaters this Thanksgiving, use them to make crispy chicken dishes or tasty appetizers like easy twice baked potatoes.
26. Eggs
Estimated Cost: $3-$4
Whether you're baking up a storm or serving up egg casseroles and quiche for brunch this holiday season, stock up on white and brown eggs. Large eggs are a necessity in almost any baking recipe.
27. Brussel Sprouts
Estimated Cost: $3-$4
They might not be a dinnertime favorite the rest of the year, but Brussel sprouts can morph into a Thanksgiving table staple with the help of Parmesan cheese, bacon, onions and your favorite seasonings. Consider cooking up a platter of seared Brussel sprouts with bacon lardons or grilled mustard Brussel sprouts.
28. Granny Smith Apples
Estimated Cost: $4.70 (2 lb.)
Tart but sweet, Granny Smith apples are a must-have item for old-fashioned apple pie recipes made with a rich, buttery crust. Add a few slices of cheddar cheese to the filling for a gourmet touch. You can also use Granny Smith apples to bake apple and cranberry bars or to add some sweetness to pancakes for Thanksgiving brunch.
29. Pecan Halves
Estimated Cost: $9.99 (16 oz.)
Pecan pie might be high on the to-bake list this Thanksgiving, but don't overlook the chance to make old-fashioned oven-toasted pecans or a baked brie with pecans and brown sugar to serve to guests during pre-dinner festivities. Pecan bars are another option for those with a sweet tooth.
30. Corn Syrup
Estimated Cost: $2.69
You can't make pecan pie or pecan bars without this thick, sweet syrup. And corn syrup has a number of other uses. Use it to make a glaze for white and red meats or to add some flavor to caramelized onion and bacon dip. Both light and dark corn syrup can be used in some baking dishes.

900 Days of School: The Dollhouse (Composite 30)
"You can't crawl back in the dollhouse–

You've got to walk roads
That are winding and new.

Into the dollhouse again."
The dollhouse has been in my classroom for years now. It is a favorite choice for my students when we have indoor recess. It has seen many hands and has lost a door and pieces of furniture along the way. The lack of perfection doesn't deter the students from selecting the dollhouse as a place to spend quality time.
I thought the dollhouse would be an important picture to include in my project 900 Days of School in which I

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from my first session with a psychologist?
You'll probably have a lot of questions, and this session is for us to be able to meet, get to know each other a little, and find out more about why you have come. Depending on your requirements this assessment might lead to a diagnosis, treatment plan, and some tasks to do before the next session. We'll agree on some goals together, and put together a plan of how often you'll attend therapy to reach these goals.
How long is treatment going to take?
It depends on your goals, how fast you'd like to work, what the issues are, and how often you'd like to attend. In the first session we discuss all this, and future sessions might be scheduled weekly, or fortnightly. We work together on this, you're an active collaborator in your treatment, and this is the case right from the beginning.
How much will it cost?
Have a look at the fees page to find out more about my rates, and also some information on what financial assistance might be available to you.
Are you held to any legal
As a Registered Psychologist with the New Zealand Psychologists Board and member of the NZ Psychological Society I am bound by their Code of Ethics for my practice. My practice also falls under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act (HPCAA). This means that I practice within the principles of 'Best Practice' and of my professional training, by consulting literature, keeping up to date with new research findings, continually furthering my professional development, and seeking supervision.
Will anyone find out what I talked to you about?
Once we've entered a therapeutic relationship, I'm bound to strict confidentiality. This means that anything you tell me stays between us, and your notes and personal details are securely stored. Sometimes it's helpful to involve other people in your life, but I'll always discuss that with you and obtain consent if you're happy to go ahead. There is an exception to the principle of confidentiality: if there is risk of harm. I will always talk to you about this first.
What is psychology, and how can therapy help me?
Psychology is the study of humans, their brains and behaviour. Talking therapies like counselling and individual psychological therapy can take many forms depending on your purpose for seeking help. You will have a chance to talk about what has been bothering you, and you may get a diagnosis if you would like one - this will be discussed with you first. You will probably get exercises to practice between sessions - these might focus on changing your thinking or behaviour in some way, practicing ways to recover from emotional upsets, getting to know yourself better, or perhaps thinking over a particular concept. While we don't know everything about the human brain yet, there are some pretty amazing evidence-based therapies that work for more common issues that people face.
Where are you located?
I'm based in West Auckland, on the Te Atatu Peninsula. That's a 15 minute drive from the CBD when there's no traffic - a little more at peak time! My clinic is within the Peninsula Medical Centre building. So when you come to see me, you'll let the receptionist know your name, and I'll collect you from the waiting area. Your confidentiality will be well preserved as it wouldn't be clear to anyone whether you're seeing a doctor, nurse, dentist, physio, or any of the other services in the building. There's lots of parking right outside and the Peninsula Medical Centre is easy to find - off Te Atatu Road just off the Western motorway.
Do you work anywhere else?
Yes, as many psychologists do, I work in a few different places through the week! I'm an anxiety specialist at the Anxiety New Zealand Trust, I occasionally see overseas clients via Skype for The Expat Counsellors, and I'm a long time volunteer youth counsellor at Youthline. Sometimes I help design online training programmes with psychological components too - currently for an organisation called Fleetcoach Limited.
How can clients see you?
Clients can self-refer by contacting me. I will contact you back, and we can discuss potential treatment. Alternatively, if you are a GP or other health practitioner/case worker or just someone with a relationship to the potential client, you can fill in this referral form.
