Featured Farms
The following is a list of some local area farms. There are many benefits of pastured-raised or grass-fed meats and dairy. When working for the Oconomowoc Lake Club, we increased our local food purchases by 500% in 6 years. But it is much more than just dollars; it's building relationships.
"Once you start, you never want to go back." -JK.
Buying directly from farms helps in many ways. Farmers typically get 10-30% of the retail dollar; by buying directly from them, they receive 100%. That same money then recirculates 3 to 5 times in the local community. Instead of receiving farm gate prices or commodity prices, farms are paid a just and sustainable price for their food. Farmers are willing to grow unique and diverse foods for us. Some of our best food is grown just down the road, not halfway around the world. Farmers' markets are one of the best ways to scout for new farmers but remember not all farmers go to farmer markets. Farmers can often lead you to other farmers.

WASHINGTON, DC – Delivering the Weekly Republican Address, House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) stresses the need to boost our economy by focusing on cutting spending and fixing our tax code. "The spending problem is getting worse, not better," Camp says, adding, "we're committed to making our economy stronger and healthier, and getting our spending under control by making Washington fully accountable to you, the hardworking taxpayers of America."
The audio is available here, and video of the address will be available here to view and here to download. A full transcript follows.
"Hello, I am Congressman Dave Camp from the Fourth District of Michigan and Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
"Let me be candid. I understand the frustration so many Americans have with Washington right now. And you're right — this government we have spends too much and wastes too much. It's time for us to stand up and say 'enough is enough' to those who would tax and spend even more.
"That's why the Republicans in Congress took critical action this week to protect hardworking taxpayers from massive tax hikes. Americans are paying more for gas, more for groceries and more for health care. The last thing they need is to pay more for Washington. That's why we made sure the temporary tax cuts passed a decade ago were made permanent. And, let me repeat that: permanent. Now we can look forward.
"Speaker Boehner has said that 'the American people re-elected a Republican majority … and we will use it in 2013 to hold the president accountable for the 'balanced' approach he promised.' That means cutting wasteful spending, strengthening programs like Medicare and Social Security so that they're there when Americans need them, and creating a tax code that creates a healthy economy.
"Let's face it: the IRS tax code is still a nightmare. It is too complex, too costly and too unfair. There is something fundamentally wrong when roughly 60 percent of hardworking taxpayers have to hire a professional just to do their taxes. You shouldn't need an army of lawyers and accountants to understand our tax code. We need a simpler, flatter, fairer tax code that's designed for taxpayers.
"That's why we have to start to work on real solutions to return accountability to our tax code by eliminating special interest loopholes. I believe in a simple principle. When it comes to the tax code, everyone should play by the same rules. Your tax rate should be determined by what's fair, not who you know in Washington.
"The simple truth is that we are in this fiscal mess because Washington takes too much of your money and then wastes it. That's the real problem—and it needs a real solution. We have to make sure Washington is accountable for every tax dollar it spends. We have to make sure that your money is spent efficiently and effectively.
"Unfortunately, the spending problem is getting worse, not better. Under President Obama we've had four straight years of trillion dollar deficits. Our national debt is now over $16 trillion. We're crushing today's small businesses and the next generation of Americans under a mountain of debt. We're selling their future, and our country's financial independence, to China.
"Many of our Democrat colleagues just don't seem to get it. Throughout the fiscal cliff discussions, the President and the Democrats who control Washington repeatedly refused to take any meaningful steps to make Washington live within its means. That position is irresponsible and fails to acknowledge what every family in America already knows – when you have no more money in your account and your credit cards are maxed out, then the spending must stop.
"Well, that is the current financial reality facing America. As we turn our attention toward future discussions on the debt limit and the budget, we must identify responsible ways to tackle Washington's wasteful spending.
"So, as the House returns for the 113th Congress in 2013 our resolution is clear: we're committed to making our economy stronger and healthier, and getting our spending under control by making Washington fully accountable to YOU, the hardworking taxpayers of America.
"We're going to fight wasteful Washington spending and deliver the accountability you demand. And we call on the President and Congressional Democrats to join us in that fight.
"Thank you for listening. God bless you and God bless the United States of America."

A few of my favourite iOS apps at present:
I've always had mixed feelings about mind-maps. They're a great way to capture thoughts and to brainstorm, but a terrible way to communicate with others. The chief responsibility of somebody writing a paper or giving a talk, it seems to me, is to turn such a personal 2D 'splat' of ideas into a logically-ordered serial presentation that can be followed by others with different mental processes, and not just to serve up the splat in its unprocessed form.
Still, I do use them for my own notes, and a paper and pen has always been my medium of choice. I've tried several highly-regarded pieces of desktop software, but keyboards and mice just don't seem right for doing this. iThoughts on the iPad is the first environment that feels pretty natural, especially if you use it with a stylus.
I listen to lots of podcasts, every day, while shaving, driving, walking the dog. I always used the facilities built into the iPhone music player and iTunes, which aren't bad, so I had never really thought about using a separate app for it. And then I tried Instacast and was an Instaconvert.
If you have a recent iPhone with a good camera, then Scanner Pro is a really useful thing to have in your pocket. In essence it's a photo app designed for capturing documents, or parts of documents, and it makes it easy (a) to crop and de-warp the images so as to get something closer to a proper scan and (b) to capture more than one 'page' as a single document and then (c) to email that as a PDF to someone (or upload it to various services). While you'd never confuse the results with the output of a proper scanner, there are times when you might be browsing in a library or perusing a magazine and you don't happen to have a flat-bed scanner in your pocket…
The dictionaries
OK, here's where you might need to start spending some real money… but I've definitely found it worthwhile when travelling to have the Collins language dictionaries in my pocket. I've now bought the expensive versions of the German-English, French-English and Italian-English ones and, even though they're amongst the most costly apps on my phone, have never regretted it. They cost about the same as a hardback equivalent, but are a lot easier to carry around and I find, surprisingly, that I can look things up more quickly in them than on paper.
Another wonderful treat is to have the Shorter OED on my phone, something which in dead-tree form is hard even to lift off my bookshelf! (The current edition comes in two large hardbacks of around 2000 pages each.) It's fabulous for all those times when someone at the restaurant tables asks, "What is the origin of the word 'poppycock'?". Sadly, the iOS app has been discontinued, so if you haven't already got it, you're out of luck, but there are a lot of lesser-but-much-cheaper options available, including Chambers.
Yes, you can often find good stuff on web, but not as quickly, especially if the restaurant table is in a basement. And if it's in a foreign basement, then looking stuff up online may be rather expensive too.
Vous êtes hereux de me voir, ou vous avez une bibliothèque dans votre poche?…
Update 2012–08–14
Since this post, I've switched from using Instacast to Downcast. Its interface is a little crowded, on the iPhone at least, but it has a couple of nice features over Instacast.
The first is the ability to skip forward and backwards by a certain number of seconds: useful to skip ads, or to rewind a bit if you were distracted and lost the thread. Instacast has this, but it's always been very unreliable. With Downcast it's still a bit hit-and-miss – the buttons often seem to do nothing, or perhaps they're just too small and so easy to miss – but my success rate is higher.
The second is the ability to sync various things between devices – which podcasts I'm subscribed to, which episodes I've already heard, and to some degree, how far through them I am. So I can listen at home on the iPad's superior speaker and then carry on using my iPhone when I'm on the move.
Very nice.

Pain Stimulator Insertion (Spinal Cord Stimulation)
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) creates an electrical field over the spinal cord, which blocks pain that comes from damage to the nervous system. These systems have either an internal or external source of power that sends an electrical pulse through a rubber antenna worn by the patient on top of the skin over an implanted receiver.
What to expect
Initially this procedure is done on a trial basis, with a permanent implant put in if the outcome is positive. This outpatient procedure is generally performed under light sedation or occasionally general anesthesia. The stimulator is implanted under the skin of the abdomen and small, coated wires—called leads—are then inserted under the skin with a needle to the point they are inserted in the spinal canal. When the leads are in the optimum location, they are connected to a portable, external generator.
During the trial, the patient will take notes to track how well the stimulator handles the pain. If the trial is successful, a permanent implant procedure is scheduled. The permanent implantation requires a relatively short surgical procedure, about 1 to 2 hours, under light sedation or general anesthesia. The generator will be placed in the area of the body that the patient and the doctor have agreed upon. Leads will be placed along the spinal cord and attached to a generator and bandages will be applied over the implant.
How to prepare
It is recommended that patients on a blood thinner, like aspirin, stop at least a week before the procedure. The patient's ability to clot blood will also be checked prior to the procedure to prevent excessive bleeding. Patients will be expected to not eat and limit drink to clear liquids for at least six hours before the procedure. Loose clothing is recommended for ease of dressing after the procedure, and arrangements should be made for a ride home.

Brassica Insect Information
Aphids: Control aphids with ladybugs or a hard spray of water or Pyrethrin. Also, select varieties that mature later in the season when aphid populations decline.
Cabbage worms, loopers, and root maggots: The first sign of cabbage worms will be off-white butterflies fluttering near the plants. They lay their yellowish-colored eggs on the undersides of leaves, which hatch into caterpillars that can cause severe root and head damage. To control light infestations, spray plants with Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.). For heavy infestations, bait cabbage worms by mixing wheat bran into a B.t. solution. Add 1 tablespoon of molasses. Broadcast the bran mixture around the base of plants. Reapply as necessary. Using Reemay or Summer Insect Barrier can also provide control.
Flea beetles: Flea beetles chew tiny pinholes in leaves. Early control is essential to minimize the damage. Spray infected plants with Pyrethrin. Using floating row covers such as Summer Insect Barrier can also provide control.
Symphylans: In some areas of the US, symphylans (also known as garden centipede) can severely impede the plant growth of many crops. Only 1/4 inch long, white, and very active, they eat the root hairs of developing plants. Using larger transplants helps reduce damage. Contact your local county extension agent if you suspect you have a problem.

This chapter is for people who have never used CVS, and perhaps have never used version control software before.
If you are already familiar with CVS and are just trying to learn a particular feature or remember a certain command, you can probably skip everything here.
CVS is a version control system. Using it, you can record the history of your source files.
For example, bugs sometimes creep in when software is modified, and you might not detect the bug until a long time after you make the modification. With CVS, you can easily retrieve old versions to see exactly which change caused the bug. This can sometimes be a big help.
You could of course save every version of every file you have ever created. This would however waste an enormous amount of disk space. CVS stores all the versions of a file in a single file in a clever way that only stores the differences between versions.
CVS also helps you if you are part of a group of people working on the same project. It is all too easy to overwrite each others' changes unless you are extremely careful. Some editors, like GNU Emacs, try to make sure that two people never modify the same file at the same time. Unfortunately, if someone is using another editor, that safeguard will not work. CVS solves this problem by insulating the different developers from each other. Every developer works in his own directory, and CVS merges the work when each developer is done.
CVS started out as a bunch of shell scripts written by Dick Grune, posted to the newsgroup comp.sources.unix in the volume 6 release of July, 1986. While no actual code from these shell scripts is present in the current version of CVS much of the CVS conflict resolution algorithms come from them.
In April, 1989, Brian Berliner designed and coded CVS. Jeff Polk later helped Brian with the design of the CVS module and vendor branch support.
You can get CVS in a variety of ways, including free download from the Internet. For more information on downloading CVS and other CVS topics, see:
There is a mailing list, known as firstname.lastname@example.com, devoted to CVS. To subscribe or unsubscribe write to email@example.com. If you prefer a Usenet group, there is a one-way mirror (posts to the email list are usually sent to the news group, but not vice versa) of firstname.lastname@example.com at news:gnu.cvs.help. The right Usenet group for posts is news:comp.software.config-mgmt which is for CVS discussions (along with other configuration management systems). In the future, it might be possible to create a comp.software.config-mgmt.cvs, but probably only if there is sufficient CVS traffic on news:comp.software.config-mgmt.
You can also subscribe to the firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list, described in more detail in Dealing with bugs in CVS or this manual. To subscribe send mail to email@example.com. There is a two-way Usenet mirror (posts to the Usenet group are usually sent to the email list and vice versa) of firstname.lastname@example.com named news:gnu.cvs.bug.
CVS can do a lot of things for you, but it does not try to be everything for everyone.
Though the structure of your repository and modules file interact with your build system (e.g. `Makefile's), they are essentially independent.
CVS does not dictate how you build anything. It merely stores files for retrieval in a tree structure you devise.
CVS does not dictate how to use disk space in the checked out working directories. If you write your `Makefile's or scripts in every directory so they have to know the relative positions of everything else, you wind up requiring the entire repository to be checked out.
If you modularize your work, and construct a build system that will share files (via links, mounts, VPATH in `Makefile's, etc.), you can arrange your disk usage however you like.
But you have to remember that any such system is a lot of work to construct and maintain. CVS does not address the issues involved.
Of course, you should place the tools created to support such a build system (scripts, `Makefile's, etc) under CVS.
Figuring out what files need to be rebuilt when something changes is, again, something to be handled outside the scope of CVS. One traditional approach is to use make for building, and use some automated tool for generating the dependencies which make uses.
See How your build system interacts with CVS, for more information on doing builds in conjunction with CVS.
Your managers and project leaders are expected to talk to you frequently enough to make certain you are aware of schedules, merge points, branch names and release dates. If they don't, CVS can't help.
CVS is an instrument for making sources dance to your tune. But you are the piper and the composer. No instrument plays itself or writes its own music.
When faced with conflicts within a single file, most developers manage to resolve them without too much effort. But a more general definition of "conflict" includes problems too difficult to solve without communication between developers.
CVS cannot determine when simultaneous changes within a single file, or across a whole collection of files, will logically conflict with one another. Its concept of a conflict is purely textual, arising when two changes to the same base file are near enough to spook the merge (i.e. diff3) command.
CVS does not claim to help at all in figuring out non-textual or distributed conflicts in program logic.
For example: Say you change the arguments to function X defined in file `A'. At the same time, someone edits file `B', adding new calls to function X using the old arguments. You are outside the realm of CVS's competence.
Acquire the habit of reading specs and talking to your peers.
Change control refers to a number of things. First of all it can mean bug-tracking, that is being able to keep a database of reported bugs and the status of each one (is it fixed? in what release? has the bug submitter agreed that it is fixed?). For interfacing CVS to an external bug-tracking system, see the `rcsinfo' and `verifymsg' files (see section Reference manual for Administrative files).
Another aspect of change control is keeping track of the fact that changes to several files were in fact changed together as one logical change. If you check in several files in a single cvs commit operation, CVS then forgets that those files were checked in together, and the fact that they have the same log message is the only thing tying them together. Keeping a GNU style `ChangeLog' can help somewhat.
cvs commit
Another aspect of change control, in some systems, is the ability to keep track of the status of each change. Some changes have been written by a developer, others have been reviewed by a second developer, and so on. Generally, the way to do this with CVS is to generate a diff (using cvs diff or diff) and email it to someone who can then apply it using the patch utility. This is very flexible, but depends on mechanisms outside CVS to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
cvs diff
It should be possible to enforce mandatory use of a test suite using the commitinfo file. I haven't heard a lot about projects trying to do that or whether there are subtle gotchas, however.
Some systems provide ways to ensure that changes or releases go through various steps, with various approvals as needed. Generally, one can accomplish this with CVS but it might be a little more work. In some cases you'll want to use the `commitinfo', `loginfo', `rcsinfo', or `verifymsg' files, to require that certain steps be performed before cvs will allow a checkin. Also consider whether features such as branches and tags can be used to perform tasks such as doing work in a development tree and then merging certain changes over to a stable tree only once they have been proven.
As a way of introducing CVS, we'll go through a typical work-session using CVS. The first thing to understand is that CVS stores all files in a centralized repository (see section The Repository); this section assumes that a repository is set up.
Suppose you are working on a simple compiler. The source consists of a handful of C files and a `Makefile'. The compiler is called `tc' (Trivial Compiler), and the repository is set up so that there is a module called `tc'.
The first thing you must do is to get your own working copy of the source for `tc'. For this, you use the checkout command:
$ cvs checkout tc
This will create a new directory called `tc' and populate it with the source files.
$ cd tc $ ls CVS Makefile backend.c driver.c frontend.c parser.c
The `CVS' directory is used internally by CVS. Normally, you should not modify or remove any of the files in it.
You start your favorite editor, hack away at `backend.c', and a couple of hours later you have added an optimization pass to the compiler. A note to RCS and SCCS users: There is no need to lock the files that you want to edit. See section Multiple developers, for an explanation.
When you have checked that the compiler is still compilable you decide to make a new version of `backend.c'. This will store your new `backend.c' in the repository and make it available to anyone else who is using that same repository.
$ cvs commit backend.c
CVS starts an editor, to allow you to enter a log message. You type in "Added an optimization pass.", save the temporary file, and exit the editor.
The environment variable $CVSEDITOR determines which editor is started. If $CVSEDITOR is not set, then if the environment variable $EDITOR is set, it will be used. If both $CVSEDITOR and $EDITOR are not set then there is a default which will vary with your operating system, for example vi for unix or notepad for Windows NT/95.
In addition, CVS checks the $VISUAL environment variable. Opinions vary on whether this behavior is desirable and whether future releases of CVS should check $VISUAL or ignore it. You will be OK either way if you make sure that $VISUAL is either unset or set to the same thing as $EDITOR.
When CVS starts the editor, it includes a list of files which are modified. For the CVS client, this list is based on comparing the modification time of the file against the modification time that the file had when it was last gotten or updated. Therefore, if a file's modification time has changed but its contents have not, it will show up as modified. The simplest way to handle this is simply not to worry about it--if you proceed with the commit CVS will detect that the contents are not modified and treat it as an unmodified file. The next update will clue CVS in to the fact that the file is unmodified, and it will reset its stored timestamp so that the file will not show up in future editor sessions.
If you want to avoid starting an editor you can specify the log message on the command line using the `-m' flag instead, like this:
$ cvs commit -m "Added an optimization pass" backend.c
Before you turn to other tasks you decide to remove your working copy of tc. One acceptable way to do that is of course
$ cd .. $ rm -r tc
but a better way is to use the release command (see section release--Indicate that a Module is no longer in use):
$ cd .. $ cvs release -d tc M driver.c ? tc You have [1] altered files in this repository. Are you sure you want to release (and delete) directory `tc': n ** `release' aborted by user choice.
The release command checks that all your modifications have been committed. If history logging is enabled it also makes a note in the history file. See section The history file.
When you use the `-d' flag with release, it also removes your working copy.
In the example above, the release command wrote a couple of lines of output. `? tc' means that the file `tc' is unknown to CVS. That is nothing to worry about: `tc' is the executable compiler, and it should not be stored in the repository. See section Ignoring files via cvsignore, for information about how to make that warning go away. See section release output, for a complete explanation of all possible output from release.
`M driver.c' is more serious. It means that the file `driver.c' has been modified since it was checked out.
The release command always finishes by telling you how many modified files you have in your working copy of the sources, and then asks you for confirmation before deleting any files or making any note in the history file.
You decide to play it safe and answer n RET when release asks for confirmation.
You do not remember modifying `driver.c', so you want to see what has happened to that file.

Colorado Active wear
Move with ease and comfort anywhere anytime with our Colorado active wear.
It is no secret that the global textile and apparel industry is one of, if not, the largest polluters globally. It's responsible for huge amounts of waste, pollution, and carbon emissions. Based on that, you might be thinking, why would we get into this industry if it hurts the planet so much?
The answer is quite simple, two things that are guaranteed to continue are; the need for clothes, and consumer waste. As a company, we want to do our part in becoming educators and explorers on the potential of everything we can create with recycled materials. That said, each pair of our leggings is made from 13.1 recycled PET plastic water bottles. Yes, you read that right!
While some of our clothes are currently not made from recycled material, we are working tirelessly to change that. As you can imagine, it is a long journey to create and perfect recycled items like this locally here in Denver, Colorado. While we have faced a few roadblocks along the way, we are continuing our pursuit to make sure all of our apparel is made from post-industrial waste and other post-consumer plastics such as discarded textiles and ocean waste.
Our eco-smart solution allows us to lower the environmental impact of clothing production and consumption while continuing to create high-quality recycled polyester fabrics. It also allows us to considerably reduce greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and energy consumption compared to conventional polyester. The high-quality fibers we use have an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certification to ensure that the recycled yarns are free of harmful substances.
The fact that you're reading this right now means you're one of us! Please know that your support literally means the world, and we're excited to take this journey with you towards a better way of living. Join us in changing the apparel industry, making the world a better place, and turning moments into memories!

~Krash is currently 45.5 months old~
I am honestly amazed with how much Krash loves this Flip Along Fun book. He asks to read it often, and loves to look at it by himself!
A little button sorting, or "feed the cars their favorite color of food" play time ;-).
This is something new for us but not new for many of you. I have gleaned many wonderful sensory ideas form many of your blogs and have finally decided to make this a part of our time! It has been on my to-do list for over a year…talk about procrastination! I plan to have a new tub each week.
This week I filled it with our jewels (they are those colored glass jewels you can get at Michael's or Dollar Tree). I added in some bears, a few neat spoons, a cup and a tube. K is only allowed to play with this after he finishes his other school work for the day, and then only at that time. This kept it fresh and exciting and he enjoyed playing with it every day!
Lately Krash has been loving the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, so it was finally time to explore our own Tot Pack. I made this pack last year while pregnant {and sick}, for my readers, but we have never actually used it until now! We had a week full of bear books, and Brown Bear printables! You can find all links to the printables shared here on our Brown, Bear Brown Bear Tot Pack page.
Each day we began by reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and using our "Clink Can" {an awesome idea I got from Making Learning Fun}. I LOVE this, and so did Krash. It is a great way to easily make a story interactive, I definitely thin we will be doing this more often!
Each day he worked with a different character, in a few different ways. He made the color word with Play Doh {he used to refuse to make letters with Play Doh so I was shocked that he willingly participated!!!}
He counted his number cards and practiced recognizing the numbers for the character of the day, and also practiced putting the numbers back in order.
Each day he enjoyed some free Play Doh time with the color of the day. He invented this game and we played each day! I make him balls, and we take turns rolling the balls around playing keep-away while the other person tries to trap the ball with the Play Doh ca and feed the balls to the animal. Giggles galore…he loved this!
A little size sequencing practice…
He enjoyed making some silly matches and giggling 😉We played a real game of memory with the cards a few times also.
He loved the shadow matching…
When we got to the end of the week, I decided to pull out everything we had left to do and we had one big Brown Bear party together! Krash enjoyed Pac Man helping him finish up his dot-paint sheets, and all of us working with the Play Doh mats together.I was blown away with Krash when I looked over and saw what he had been working on while I was preparing snack. He had made this entire word by himself! This is the first week we have done this and he was mostly relying on me to help a lot with it. He did this on his own and I was so proud . 😉
These are the bear books we personally read {over and over again} this week, with The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear being the favorite-funny it doesn't even actually show a bear!
We made our D is for Dinosaur, and read one of K's favorite books Dinosaur Dinosaur!
We revisited our 10 Plagues lesson after the bad attitudes we had for family Bible time. The 2nd go around was much better and more fun!
Ladybug loves her books! I LOVE that she loves her books {the boys didn't nearly as much as babies}. This is one of her favorites, That's Not My Fairy…
A few of her other very favorites right now…Fisher-Price: How Big?: A Sooo Big Book, and Baby Faces. I just LOVE that she loves books! Reading to the boys when they were babies was a bit of a chore as they only ever wanted to play with and eat the books!
I am trying to give Ladybug unique {non-baby} items to explore under my close supervision. This week I decided to try bells. She loved them! She only tried to lick them a few times, but responded well when I stopped her. Plus I think the metal tastes nasty! She went wild a few times shaking the bells, putting her whole body into it!
Pac Man had the idea to tie a string to one of the bells and this created a whole new twist. It was neat to see her explore in a whole new way with the string attached.
Finally on this day, we added a metal mailbox {from our Valentine's Day stuff} and put the bells inside for her to get out. She was HILARIOUS with this. They were loud inside of the can, and she was banging them all around. She couldn't get her hand into the box at first and it was so cute watching her try, try again. She finally figured it out and got them all out…we did this several times!Another day I put the bells in the yellow basket for her. She had fun figuring out how to get them out of the basket! I had fun watching her ;-).She was still enthralled with the bell on the string. We also added a paper towel tube and rolled them down it together. Daddy got in the action another day, using the bell as encouragement for her to actual scoot forward… To our shock, IT WORKED!!!!! She scooted for the very first time when I snapped this photo!!! Later Daddy set up a little course for the ping pong ball to roll through, He was playing with Pac Man but Pac was gone for awhile, so Dad built a track for L-bug to watch, she was SO into it!
She was a lovely helper-readjusting parts of the course at every opportunity she could find!
We have had a lot of snow lately and I just can't muster the energy to get them all dressed, and undressed in snow gear to go outside every day. This has made for a bit of cabin fever and a bit of energy overload for Krash. Knowing he needs some intense physical activity each day, I popped in our Kick to Get Fit Jr. – For Kids and wore him out! He loved it and was adorable to watch!
My fav just had to be of Ladybug this week….Piggy Tails!!!!!

Shortbread has to be one of my favourite holiday cookies! It is so easy to make and with its crispy outside and melt in your mouth buttery good inside, they are almost impossible to resist. I recently read an article in the newspaper about a local company making shortbread, The Coach House Shortbread Company , where they mentioned that they make savoury shortbreads in addition to sweet ones! I had never even thought about the possibility of a savoury shortbread and I knew that I would have to try some as soon as I heard the idea!
After taking a quick look at some different savoury shortbread ideas, I settled on a stilton and rosemary shortbread which sounded really good. Shortbread generally has four main ingredients; flour, cornstarch, butter and salt and for this shortbread we are only adding three more, the stilton, rosemary and some fresh cracked black pepper for a bit of bite. The stilton is brought up to room temperature and then creamed into the butter so that the blue cheese flavour will be evenly distributed in the cookies. After the dough has been made it needs to chill out for a while in the fridge before being baked. After just a few minutes of baking your place will quickly fill up with the amazing aroma of blue cheese which will make it hard to wait for them to finish.
The savoury stilton and rosemary shortbread turned out even better than I imagined it would! As I said, it is really hard to go wrong with buttery melt in you mouth shortbread and the stilton and rosemary flavours in this one are just fantastic! This kind of savoury shortbread would be perfectly at home on a platter along with some meats, cheeses and fruits for your holiday parties.
Stilton and Rosemary Shortbread
A buttery savoury shortbread with tangy stilton cheese, rosemary and a touch of pepper.
- 1 cup stilton, rooms temperature and crumbled
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch (or more flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse grain pepper
- 1 tablespoon rosemary, chopped
- Cream the cheese and butter.
- Mix in the flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients followed by the rosemary.
- Shape the cookies as you like an place them on a parchment lined baking sheet with an inch of space between them.
- Place the baking sheet in the fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until they just start to turn a light golden brown, about 8-14 minutes, remove and let cool. (Note: The shortbread will still be rather soft when it is done but it with crisp up as it cools.)

Food blogging has taken me to some truly amazing places (front cover of The Wall Street journal, anyone?), but none as priceless as some of the friendships I've made through the process. Melinda of Kitchen-Tested has become my "lets-pig-out-at-this-restaurant" buddy, my recipe idea sounding board, my support coach ("You can do this Chanie!") but most of all, my friend (awwwww….can I grab you a tissue Mel?). So, aside from being an amazing chef (her desserts are so impressive, she should open a bakery), Melinda is totally fearless in the kitchen. She comes up with the craziest stuff you've ever seen [like bagel, lox and cream cheese hamantaschen! pecan pie bacon (kosher bacon) and falafel mozzarella sticks!] but she also knows how to keep it simple with down-home-delicious-recipes [like puff pastry potato roses, classic red velvet cake and Texas-style dry rub brisket). I'm honored to have Melinda guest post for me today, and I hope you enjoy her Rosh-Hashanah inspired recipe! Welcome Mel!
Today is a great day because I get to write a recipe for Busy in Brooklyn! Hi, I'm Melinda Strauss and my blog is Kitchen-Tested.com. Ever heard of me??? Basically, you all want to be me today! Chanie is one of the coolest people I know and her masterful recipes blow me away EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Chanie loves tahini, cookie butter, marzipan and long walks on the beach. But really, Chanie loves her family and that's why I'm here on her blog. She recently gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl and all I can say is "Mazal Tov…now move to Long Island!!!" Oh, did I say that out loud? Seriously, my dream is for Chanie to become Busy in The Five Towns so she can live closer to me and I can babysit while she takes naps and maybe goes out for those long walks on the beach.
So about this recipe…sure, you can eat mashed potatoes or you can eat roasted potatoes but why not get a bit of both in every bite? I love this recipe because it's a one-pan-wonder packed with crazy amounts of flavor. The potatoes are steamed in the oven then smashed, drizzled with tons of olive oil and garlic and roasted with leeks. I love how the leeks get super crunchy in the oven and act as added texture for the potatoes, which are soft in the center and crispy around the edges. The fun thing about this recipe is that you can add any of your favorite spices to the potatoes and you can even throw some fresh whole garlic in the pan. Go nuts and make these roasted smashed potatoes your own!
Roasted Smashed Potatoes with Leeks
1 pound baby red potatoes
1 cup water
1 large leek, only white part sliced thinly (green tops discarded)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
fresh parsley, for garnish
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place potatoes on a sheet pan, pour water in pan and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain any remaining water from the pan and set the potatoes aside for 10 minutes.
Stir together the olive oil and minced garlic. Add the leeks to the pan then drizzle the potatoes and leeks with 3 tablespoons of the garlic oil to coat all sides.
Space the potatoes out evenly in the pan and smash each one down with a potato smasher, the back of a heavy cup or the palm of your hand. Flatten the potatoes to around 1/2 inch thick. Don't worry if some break apart. Each potato will smash in a unique way.
Drizzle the potatoes with the remaining oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the potatoes and leeks for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown and crispy around the edges. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

Hip or knee replacement - in the hospital after
Hip replacement surgery - after - self-care; Knee replacement surgery - after - self-care
Right After Surgery
Even though your surgeon may talk to your family or friends right after surgery is done, you will still spend 1 to 2 hours after surgery in a recovery room before going to your room. You will likely wake up tired and groggy.
You will have a large dressing (bandage) over your incision (cut) and part of your leg. A small drainage tube may be placed during surgery to help drain blood that collects in your joint after surgery.
Back in Your Room
You will have an IV (a catheter, or tube, that is inserted into a vein, most often in your arm). You will receive fluids through the IV until you are able to drink on your own. You will slowly resume a normal diet.
You may have a Foley catheter inserted into your bladder to drain urine. Most of the time, it is removed the day after surgery. You may have some trouble passing your urine after the tube is removed. Make sure you tell your nurse if you feel that your bladder is full. It is helpful if you can walk to the bathroom and urinate in the normal fashion. You may need to have the tube put back in to help drain the bladder if you can't urinate for a while.
Your surgeon will show you how to prevent blood clots.
- You may wear special compression stockings on your legs. These stockings improve blood flow and reduce your risk of getting blood clots.
- Most people will also receive blood-thinning medicine to further reduce the risk of blood clots. These medicines can make you bruise more easily.
- When you are in bed, move your ankles up and down. You will also be taught other leg exercises to do while you are in bed to prevent blood clots. It is important to do these exercises.
- You may also have leg wraps or foot pumps that squeeze your leg periodically when you are lying in bed. This also helps blood flow and reduces the risk of blood clots.
You may be taught how to use a device called a spirometer and do deep breathing and coughing exercises. Doing these exercises will help prevent pneumonia.
Your provider will prescribe pain medicines to control your pain.
- You can expect to have some amount of discomfort after surgery. The amount of pain varies from person to person.
- You may receive pain medicine through a machine that you can use to control when and how much medicine you receive. You will receive the medicine through an IV, oral pills, or a special tube placed into your back during surgery.
- You may also have a nerve block placed during surgery, which may be continued after surgery. Your leg may feel numb and you may not be able to move your toes and ankle for the first day. However, sensation and function should recover before you leave the hospital. Make sure you talk with your surgeon before and after surgery to make sure that your sensation is normal.
You may also be prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection. In most cases, you will get these medicines through an IV while you are still in the hospital.
You Will be Encouraged to Start Moving and Walking
Your health care providers will encourage you to start moving and walking.
You will be helped out of bed to a chair on the day of surgery. You may even try to walk if you feel up to it.
You will work with specialists to get moving again and to learn to take care of yourself.
- A physical therapist will teach you exercises and how to use a walker or crutches.
- An occupational therapist will teach people who have had hip or knee replacement how to safely perform daily activities.
All of this takes a lot of hard work on your part. But the effort will pay off in the form of a faster recovery and better results.
By the second day after surgery, you will be encouraged to do as much as you can by yourself. This includes going to the bathroom and taking walks in the hallways with help.
After knee replacement, some surgeons recommend using a continuous passive motion machine (CPM) while you are in bed. The CPM bends your knee for you. Over time, the rate and amount of bending can be adjusted to increase them. If you are using this machine, always keep your leg in the CPM when you are in bed. It may help speed your recovery and reduce pain, bleeding, and risk of infection.
You will learn the proper positions for your legs and knees. Make sure you follow these guidelines. Improper positioning can injure your new hip or knee joint.
Getting Ready to go Home
Before you go home, you will need to:
- Be able to move or transfer in and out of bed, in and out of chairs, and off and on the toilet without help and safely
- Bend your knees almost to a right angle or 90° (after knee replacement)
- Walk on a level surface with crutches or a walker, without any other help
- Walk up and down some steps with help
Some people need a short stay in a rehabilitation center or a skilled nursing facility after they leave the hospital and before they go home. During the time you spend here, you will learn how to safely do your daily activities on your own. You will also have time to build strength while you recover from your surgery.

THURSDAY, Aug. 26, 2021 (HealthDay News) — U.S. passengers aged 12 and older boarding Disney Cruise Line voyages to the Bahamas will have to start providing proof of COVID-19 vaccination as of Sept. 3, the company said Wednesday.
The new policy is in effect until November and requires passengers to be fully vaccinated at least 14 days before boarding and includes visitors to Castaway Cay, Disney's private island in the Bahamas, CBS News reported.
Children younger than 12 will require proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken between five days and 24 hours before boarding, as well as a second negative test at the terminal.
It's the first time Disney has issued a vaccination mandate for ships sailing from U.S. ports, CBS News reported.
Earlier this month, the Bahamas said it would require all cruise passengers 12 and older to show proof of vaccination.
A number of other cruise lines have announced mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies, CBS News reported.
Just last week, Royal Caribbean updated its policy, requiring passengers 12 and older to be fully vaccinated for cruises departing from any U.S. port, with the mandate taking effect Sept. 3 for cruises leaving Florida for the Bahamas. The cruise line had four vaccinated adults and two unvaccinated minors test positive for COVID-19 on a ship traveling from the Bahamas last month, USA Today reported.
Carnival Cruise made a similar move on Sunday, expanding a prior policy that required at least 95% of all passengers and crew be vaccinated. The updated policy takes effect Aug. 28 and exempts those with medical conditions that preclude vaccination.
Carnival faces multiple lawsuits stemming from outbreaks on its ships early last year, in which at least 10 people died, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Why should you consider hiring a sworn document translator? Whether you simply have too much to do to translate your own texts or you do not feel confident enough in your foreign language abilities, hiring an experienced document translator can help you to save time and work more productively.
What Is a Sworn Document Translator?
Anyone can say that he or she is a translator. Unfortunately, there are no quality assurances when simply hiring a translator. Only those individuals who have met the most stringent quality standards are publicly appointed or authorized by a government to be called a sworn document translator. Such translators are then allowed to confirm or attest to the accuracy of a translated document in the country in which they are authorized to do so.
This is required in many countries. For instance, in Brazil, a document written in a foreign language must first be legalized by the Brazilian Consular Office and then translated by a sworn translator registered with the Board of Trade in Brazil in order for that document to be declared legally valid.
Benefits of Hiring a Sworn Translator
While there are many individuals and people offering translation services, hiring a sworn translator ensures trustworthy results. Furthermore, in many countries, such as Brazil, working with a sworn document translator may be the only way to ensure the document is declared legally valid.
When hiring an experienced sworn translator, you can be assured of their experience as well as their expertise. This is because such translators must undergo extensive training and observation in order to be declared a sworn translator. Not only does hiring a sworn translator ensure legal validity in many countries around the world, but doing so can also help to save you a tremendous amount of time and effort.
Anindyatrans is a sworn translation office capable of translating all kinds of documents in various languages, such as German, Dutch, English, French, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Malay, etc. We have branches in several Indonesian cities, such as Batam, Surabaya, Bekasi, Bali, Makassar, Bogor, Semarang, Bandung, Balikpapan, Depok, Medan.

If you want a house to smell clean, you clean it. But what can you do to add a special touch that makes your house smell one step beyond clean? Use some common "scents," a little knowhow and a lot of creativity to make your house smell fantastic.
Use Your Good Scents
Many homeowners choose to use scented candles in their home. As the candle burns, the oils melt and create a wonderful smell throughout the entire room. Not only do these smell great, but certain scents can also be relaxing. Lavender, for instance, is commonly used in aromatherapy and is believed to be a calming scent. Vanilla, strawberry, cinnamon and even chocolate are also popular among homeowners who want to add a special touch to their home.
Good Enough To Eat
If you really want to make your home smell terrific, add a bowl of fresh fruit to the dining room table. Oranges, tangerines and apples will provide a colorful centerpiece and a scent that's simply yummy.
If you like to bake, there's nothing better than the smell of freshly baked cookies fresh out of the oven. Of course, if you don't feel up to baking every day, you can always use a chocolate scented candle instead.
Make Your Home Blossom
If you really want to add a terrific aroma to your home, place a vase of fresh cut flowers in your living/family room. A perfectly designed arrangement will act as a wonderful centerpiece, but will also fill the room with a wonderful smell. Roses are terrific for adding an unmistakable scent to any room, but many other flowers will prove to be just as nice.
Everyone "Nose" Potpourri
A potpourri mixture, which contains dried petals and spices, is typically placed in a bowl and used to add a wonderful scent to any room. A variety of mixtures are commonly found in any retailer's craft section or anywhere that scented candles are sold. Potpourri is low maintenance in that it requires nothing more than being placed in a bowl and situated in the room of your choice.
Freshening Up The Air
These days, air fresheners are everywhere. Why? Quite simply, because they work. Individuals who suffer from allergies may have a difficult time with some scents and/or brands of air fresheners, so be sure to keep this in mind when shopping. Air fresheners are available in a wide variety of scents and are generally inexpensive, which makes them a nice choice for many homeowners.

Three sets of goodies are coming your way today, maybe as a sort of bribery for being mostly absent these days? Yeah, the ol' body is still wreaking havoc, but apparently I'm too stubborn for my own good and I cooked a bunch of stuff anyway! So, roasted sweet and salty pumpkin seeds, a seed and nut butter, and everyone's favourite - COOKIES (!) are on today's menu, hopefully you find them a nice home on yours one day!
This is the most recent way I've made roasted pumpkin seeds, with salt and honey, beginning by borrowing a technique I learned off of Elise from Simply Recipes today, and finishing with my own flair. They taste like kettle corn, and formed the basis for the other two recipes! I'm going to be making these again for Andrew, since the stepfather ravaged the supply from my pumpkin's innards last night.
Kettle Seeds
1/4 cup sea salt
Seeds from one pumpkin, "de-gooed"
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp coarse salt
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Fill a large pot with water, add the sea salt and bring to a boil.
- Add the pumpkin seeds and boil, stirring occasionally, 12 minutes.
- While seeds are boiling, spread olive oil on a cookie sheet.
- Drain the seeds and pour onto the oiled sheet, tossing to evenly coat.
- Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with salt, stir again to evenly coat.
- Bake 10 minutes on the top rack of the oven.
- Stir seeds, re-position the rack to the middle of the oven and return the seeds for a further 10 minutes.
- Immediately pour onto a separate baking sheet or piece of foil to cool.
I whipped this up as the basis for the cookies that followed, basically just to see what would happen to my tiny food processor. This makes a very firm butter after it's been in the fridge, so you will want to stir it before use.
Mixed Bag Butter
½ cup roasted pumpkin seeds, shells on
½ cup roasted, salted cashews
4 tbsp neutral oil
½ tbsp Nutella (or hazelnut butter for a dairy free, vegan variation)
½ tbsp peanut butter
- In a food processor, grind the pumpkin seeds and cashews until powdery.
- Add the oil and process until clumpy, then blend in the Nutella and peanut butter until a paste forms.
- Store in the fridge and use within 2 weeks.
And finally, these - the crowning glory of the day's events. Chocolate batter, chocolate chips, the mixed butter and a shot of coffee make these some serious goodies. The batter is very sticky so you may want to wet your hands before dropping the batter. Don't forget to grease the sheets!!
"Mixed Bag" Double Chocolate Cookies
Makes approximately 36
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup sugar
½ cup cocoa
¼ cup margarine, softened
2/3 cup mixed nut and seed butters (I used my "mixed bag" butter)
1 egg replacer, prepared
1/3 cup water or coffee
1 teaspoon of vanilla
½ cup chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment and grease well.
- Mix together the flours, baking powder and salt.
- Blend in the sugars and cocoa.
- Add margarine, nut butter, egg replacer, water and vanilla. Mix well.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop about 2 inches apart on sheets
- Bake for 11 minutes.
- Cool 5 minutes on pans, then remove to wire racks to cool completely

The last time I cleaned out my wallet was just two days ago - it wasn't fitting properly into my purse so I suspected I needed to remove some items. Lots of extra receipts, coupons, business cards. Now the wallet is nice and thin again.
Editor's Note: Congratulations to Lisa, Marcus, and juggler314 for winning this week's contest!
Wallets. Almost everyone has one. Most people use their wallet to carry around cash, credit or debit cards, and their drivers license. Some people will store receipts and notes in theirs. Regardless of what you keep in your wallet, chances are there are things in your wallet you can either store somewhere else or throw away.
When was the last time you cleaned out your wallet? Do you have things in your wallet right now you could get rid of?

I cleaned/transferred my old wallet to a new metal encased (protective of scan on credit cards) one last year...
The last time I cleaned my wallet was THIS MORNING, after reading this post! But I still need to photocopy contents for my home files, in case of theft. Thanks!
I got so tired of all the receipts, notes, and cards after going to the store yesterday. So I asked my girlfriend to drive home so I could organize it. :-)
I actually cleaned out my wallet about two weeks ago. It was getting bulky and I found there were a few credit cards that I no longer used, so I moved them out. I don't need them taking up space, considering I needed another card slot for my new credit union card.
I clean my wallet out each time I get my car insurance paperwork. But I also remove all my recpts daily. :)
The last time that I cleaned out my wallet was when I received a new wallet for my birthday. I found several receipts, some old business cards and some lint
My wallet is pretty clean, I don't like it getting to big.
Currently I don' think there is anything in it that I would get rid of.
I'm in the process of moving to a smaller wallet, of course, the process has taken months thus far because the smaller one doesn't have enough pockets for everything! But I have been cleaning it out every 2 or 3 weeks for a long time now. Got to make sure that nothing gets overlooked!
I keep a thin wallet because I don't like a bunch of junk in it, and I took one card I wasn't really using out last week.
Just about a month ago - I changed wallets. Nothing to "clean out" though - I don't carry much of anything, just the necessities.
I tweeted my answer! https://twitter.com/monzanitas/status/248091478885294080
I actually did it about 2 weeks ago, it was so full I couldn't get anything else in it. I have so many cards from every store you go to, it is very aggravating!
I don't really use a wallet, but a purse with pockets. Cleaning it out is a major chore. I usually do it when I get a new purse, or my shoulder hurts!
I actually cleaned my wallet and purse yesterday, but only because a cookie in my purse that I forgot was in there got all smashed up, otherwise it may have been weeks before I would go through my wallet.
I partially clean it out of receipts every week but a couple of times a year, I completely clean it out.
I responded on Twitter. https://mobile.twitter.com/1bets1/status/248094911608532993
I clean mine out constantly, because I hate carrying around more stuff than I have to. As soon as I get home from the store, receipts get shredded or filed away.
Yesterday. But of course that's only because I haven't gotten to it today yet! I can't really function through the day unless all the bills are accounted for and in order. I'm on a tight budget and need to know what cash is on hand at any given time. Everything else is streamlined anyway.
Last week. I have a large wallet for everyday and a small wristlet for going out, so transferring money and cards forces you to keep things neat.
I clean out my wallet all the time. I always end up with random junk in my wallet like receipts and stuff that need to be cleaned out.
I'm pretty OCD so I clean it out every few weeks. I don't like having old receipts in there, just cash money!
Here is the link to my tweet https://twitter.com/Lanieekat/status/248096379300360192
I last cleaned out my wallet before going on vacation in April, since I don't need to take my punch cards out of the country. I use a change purse for a wallet, so it has to stay organized!
I cleaned out my wallet last month, and I clean it out every time I add a new card of any sort. Usually it's just the basics, a hankie and some business cards but it's a long trifold so it all stays very organized.
I have no need to clean out my wallet. It's only a small change purse with a slot for my license and credit card so I can't clutter it up in the first place.
The last time I cleaned my wallet out was this morning. I try to do it every couple of weeks. I keep all my receipts from credit card purchases in there and the wallet starts to get thick.
Last time I cleaned out my wallet? I believe that was at Christmas when I got a new wallet! I don't look forward to cleaning out this wallet since it's a lot bigger!
The last time I cleaned out my wallet was last night! I was looking for a specific receipt from lunch time while I was doing my personal budget! :)
I clean out my wallet at least once a week! I make a lot of purchases for my job, so I accumulate receipts and change rather quickly. To help keep things organized and to help keep my purse light, I have to clean out my wallet every few days. With that, the last time I cleaned out my wallet was last night!
on my first comment answering the question I got an error about the capcha - hope it went through to you
I make a habit of cleaning out both mine and my husband's (with his permission) wallets once a week to add any appointments to the household calendar, make sure I have all the receipts for both business and personal transactions, add any business card contacts to our database, etc. I also take the time to pull/replace outdated membership cards, insurance info or whatever else may be shoved in there. Both DH and I carry a traditional billfold so it really helps since we are both trained that everything goes in the wallet.
I cleaned out my wallet this weekend to go through receipts for our budget spreadsheet. (I had fallen behind for a few days.)
I seem to clean out my wallet almost every time I put money in it. It just goes. My wife often helps me in this chore. She's even better at cleaning it out than I am. My wallet is always on the thin side. Which is good for my profile. I never did like a fat wallet.
I don't keep much in my wallet anymore, but the last time I cleaned it out was when I went on vacation in July.
Wallet? I just keep a few cards and some cash together with a rubber band, I remove any receipts as often as possible to keep it as thin as possible.
I don't have a separate wallet, it's a section of the type of purse that I carry. But I have to confess that it's been a while since I cleaned it out. Thanks for the reminder!
I have a pretty thin wallet, so don't have to clean it out too much. Once a week of receipts is about it.
I cleaned out my wallet a week ago when a red pen exploded all over it. I loved that wallet, but when it became unusable (unless I wanted to walk around red-handed every time I opened it) I bought a new one.
Weekly as I transfer my world from the Midwest to the Southwest. Driver's License, car insurance, address, phone number, bank cards, old business contacts to be removed, new ones coming in, people I never need to talk to again. So freaking many steps to complete our New Mexico residency, and my wallet lets me know what is next... :)
Cleaned out the wallet in the last month. Did a lot of throwing away/shredding. https://mobile.twitter.com/riedyj/status/248364540398555136
The last time I cleaned out my wallet (I call mine a billfold) was 3 days ago when I balanced my checkbook. Had to make sure there were no debit card receipts in there!
I love cleaning my wallet! I probably do it once a week. I tend to shove bills into it, so I face all my monkey and toss receipts I don't need.
My wallet is pared to the bare minimum, but I last cleaned my purse out about 2 weeks ago when it got too heavy and was obviously stuffed with unnecessary papers and receipts.
A couple of days ago! I really don't like carrying around old receipts; it makes things messy and the wallet its harder to close. I try to clean in out every few days if I have receipts and things in it.
Well, this is timely as just last week I not only cleaned out my delapidated 12 year old leather wallet, but transferred all necessary information into a new one I had in my sock drawer, new in the box for about 15 years. The only reason it took me so long to change wallets is because my old one is a bifold which I really loved, and the new one is a trifold which is thicker when folded in three's. But I looked at new bifolds and there was no way I could afford one so used this new in the box old wallet. I'm not on Facebook or tweeter.

David Rocco's Sicilian Food Tour this Saturday
To put it simply: I want David Rocco's life. His latest Italian adventure is a vacation through Sicily with his wife, Nina, and any food person will be mesmerized by their itinerary. No travel agent could dream up a food tour like this one. At least we can live vicariously through the Roccos: An all-new episode of David Rocco's Dolce Vita chronicles their delicious trip through the region, this weekend.
Tomorrow at 1:30pm/12:30c, David and Nina's Sicilian vacation kicks off with a visit to friends who own an agriturismo, an Italian farm property that doubles as a hotel. Theirs produces olive oil, so the Roccos get to enjoy a private olive oil tasting. Then they explore the countryside on horseback and take part in a traditional garlic harvest. David cooks up some fresh and simple dishes that are characteristic of this Southern region, like Pasta alla Trapanese, shown above.
Later this month, the Roccos will visit Palermo, Sicily's largest city, which is famous for its sprawling outdoor markets. David fires up the grill and throws a party with the locals right in the market piazza.
Fun fact: Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean. Naturally, later on in the trip, David and Nina hit its gorgeous beaches. They spend a relaxing weekend in the resort town of San Vito Lo Capo, cooking favorite seaside dishes and beach-hopping by boat. It's no wonder the show is called Dolce Vita.
Catch David Rocco's Sicilian Vacation tomorrow afternoon at 1:30pm/12:30c.

Government & Community
Dickinson, North Dakota, gateway to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and home to Dickinson State University, is a home rule city that services a population of 25,000-30,000. Dickinson is centrally located in southwestern North Dakota, the midpoint between Fargo, North Dakota and Billings, Montana. We are also located less than an hour's drive from Lake Sakakawea, the largest of the mainstream reservoirs on the Missouri river, which is a wonderful fishing and recreation resource.
Due to this strategic location, and the resulting regional social and economic influence, it was known for decades by the nickname "Queen City of the Prairies." This nickname was used as early as 1906, and legend has it that it was selected through a contest sponsored by the Dickinson Press. The Dickinson Commercial Club (now the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce) published a variety of material promoting Dickinson as the Queen City, especially in the early 1900s when they were lobbying hard to acquire a state college (now Dickinson State University). While other stories exist to explain the nickname, most of them have been discredited through research. Many regional commerce centers throughout the United States and Canada promote themselves as their region's Queen City due to the positive imagery of a nurturing woman and the association with a lush and bountiful region. As Dickinson is also the gateway to the great American West, Medora, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park, it has also been branded by its modern nickname: "The Western Edge."

Whether it's a bright blue poison dart frog or a brown, warty toad, a frog's survival is all about water. Most frogs begin their lives as jelly-like eggs that need moisture to develop. The eggs hatch into aquatic tadpoles, which breathe through gills. As the tadpoles grow, they develop lungs and gain the ability to breathe air.
But frogs' need for water doesn't dry up once they're on land. Frogs get virtually all of their water and part of their oxygen through their skin, and this process only works if their skin stays moist. If a frog's skin dries out, it can't get enough oxygen or get rid of enough carbon dioxide, and it dies.
So it should come as no surprise that frogs have developed some interesting adaptations to cope with their lifelong need for water. For example, gastric brooding frogs, which are now extinct, swallowed their eggs. They stopped eating and digesting food while their young developed in their stomachs instead of in water. The baby frogs then exited through their parent's mouth. Strawberry poison dart frogs, which live in Central America and Puerto Rico, lay their eggs on land, and males keep them moist with urine. Once the eggs hatch, the mother carries each tadpole on her back to its own tiny pool of water that has collected between the stem and leaves of a plant. While the tadpoles grow, their mother feeds them her own eggs.
But frogs' adaptations aren't all about water or reproduction. They've lived on Earth for about 200 million years, and in that time they've developed everything from deadly toxins to the ability to survive being frozen. You'll learn about these and other adaptations in this article. We'll start with a look at frogs' appearance and behavior, including why toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads and why frogs molt but don't leave the skin they shed behind.

What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are the most conservative restorations we offer. They consist of a thin strip of porcelain that covers the front side of a tooth. We use porcelain because we can change the color to closely match your natural teeth. Unlike crowns, which cover the entirety of a tooth, veneers require less enamel removal, so most of your original tooth structure stays intact. Rather than replacing your whole tooth, a veneer gives your tooth a "new face." Because they are minimally invasive, dental veneers are essential tools of cosmetic dentistry.
Getting a veneer requires at least two appointments. At the first appointment, the dentist prepares your tooth so a veneer can be placed. A couple weeks later, they will permanently attach the veneer to your tooth.
Procedure Overview
- A dental veneer procedure begins with the dentist removing a very small amount of your front tooth enamel (usually less than one millimeter). Depending on how much enamel needs to be removed, this process may not require local anesthesia. Veneers bond more easily with the outer tooth structure than the inner tooth structure, so the dentist wants to remove as little as possible. They use a rotating device known as a dental bur to gently shave down some of the tooth's surface.
- After the tooth is shaved down, we need to take an impression (or mold) of your teeth. We send this impression to a lab so they can make a veneer that comfortably fits your smile. To expose more of your tooth for the impression, the dentist uses a small retraction cord to move the gums away from it. This is temporary; your gum line returns to its original position once the impression is complete. The final step is to bite into a tray filled with paste to a make a mold of your teeth. This takes a few minutes to set, so be patient!
- When the mold is ready, we make any final adjustments & send it to a dental lab. It takes a couple weeks to receive your permanent veneer from the lab. In the meantime, you may receive a temporary veneer to cover the prepared tooth. This is not necessary in all cases. Temporaries are only needed if the dentist must remove a large amount of enamel, which can make your tooth more sensitive or prone to damage.
- At your last appointment, we attach your personalized veneer. The dentist may need to make adjustments so the veneer looks good & feels right. If you have any concerns about the look & feel of your smile at this stage in the process, please feel free to tell us! We want to make sure you are satisfied with the result.
- Once any last-minute trimming & refitting is finished, the dentist coats your tooth with bonding cement & attaches the veneer to your tooth. Then they use a special blue light to harden the cement & secure the veneer. After one final check to make sure the fit is still snug & comfy, you're good to go!
You will be given special instructions on how to care for your veneer, including a list of foods to avoid. You may also need a night guard if you grind your teeth at night. Carefully following any directions or warnings will ensure the longest lifespan for your veneer, which can last over ten years.
Call us to find out how veneers can beautify your smile.
