What is it?
The Army Congressional Fellowship Program educates selected Army officers and civilians on the importance of the strategic relationship between the Army and the Congress.
It is a three-year program which includes pursuit of a master's degree in legislative affairs at George Washington University (GWU), service on the staff of a member of Congress, and utilization on the Army or joint staff in a legislative liaison duty position. The program seeks regular Army; Reserve; and National Guard officers who have demonstrated outstanding promotion potential, have combat tour experience and have recently completed successful company/battery/troop command or equivalent key developmental (KD) duties. It is also open to outstanding DA civilians who will work in a legislative liaison duty position in their parent organization.
What has the Army done?
The Fellowship begins in the spring when selected Fellows arrive in the national capitol region and begin an intensive training program. Throughout the summer and fall, Fellows are full-time students at GWU and are fully exposed to the legislative process through interaction with classmates and GWU professors, many who are current or former Capitol Hill staffers, industry and interest group representatives and lobbyists.
In January, Fellows start their one-year assignment to a Congressional Office working directly for a member of Congress or Congressional Committee. Congressional Fellows are often responsible for drafting legislation, arranging congressional hearing information for the Member, writing floor speeches, and briefing the Member of Congress for Committee deliberations and floor debate.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The 2013 Army Congressional Fellows selection board will meet this summer and select up to 25 officers for the program. To apply, an AC officer must have ten or less years of commissioned service and have completed key developmental level assignments; Army Reserve and Army National Guard captains or majors must not have more than four years in grade. Application deadlines for active component (AC) Army and Army Reserve Officers are July 8, 2011, and for the Army National Guard, Aug. 1, 2011.
Why is this important to the Army?
The direct interaction with Members of Congress offers a Fellow critical insight on how our military is governed at the highest levels. Over the years, many Members of Congress and Senior Defense Officials have grown to greatly appreciate the service and experience of having Defense Fellows serving on congressional staffs.

It's really hard to find healthy store bought jams & jellies. Like, really hard. They've all got fillers and loads of added sugar. Honestly, I sometimes even question the integrity of the fruit used. That being said, I'm a jam girl. I love some jelly spread on my pancakes, swirled into a cake, or sandwiched between some peanut butter & bread. I can make healthy versions of all those other things, but I struggled with the jam... until now!
Enter the blueberry chia seed jam. Real fruit, minimal all natural honey, a squeeze of lemon, & the magical jelling powers of chia seeds. Viola, healthy jam you don't have to feel bad about spreading all over your next batch of oatmeal... (hint hint recipe coming soon :D)
Blueberry Chia Seed Jam
- 2 cups berries (you could do just blueberries like I did or a combo of berries)
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- juice of 1 lemon wedge (roughly 1 tablespoon)
- 3 teaspoons chia seeds
In a small saucepan, heat the berries over medium high heat. Let cook, stirring occasionally until berries begin to break down & form their own syrup (5-10 minutes). Remove from heat & smash with a fork or the back of a spoon. If you really want a smooth jam you could even puree the berries here.
Stir in the honey, lemon, and chia seeds & let stand for 5 minutes, stirring once after 3 minutes. The chia seeds should plump up & you should get a jelly consistency. I love chunky jam so I leave my berries just smashed and the chia seeds whole but you could even puree the whole thing for a smooth jelly. Store in a glass container (like a mason jar) in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
*PS this stuff gets even better (thicker) after it's in the fridge for a little while!
If you're doing our Jersey Devil CrossFit Be Better Challenge this stuff is real & not processed, but does have added sugar.

Boys meets girl. They fall in love and live happily ever after. So simple, right? Not if Francine Rivers has anything to say about it!
For years, Rivers has faithfully produced stories that tug at our heartstrings...works like "A Voice in the Wind" and "When the Shofar Blew". Most recently, "A Bridge to Haven". Now, in her book that is set to release in January 2018, she is back and yes, still producing love stories that are both agonizing and glorious.
"The Masterpiece" follows two main characters. Roman is an artist with a troubled past who uses anger as a weapon and builds walls to make sure he is never hurt again. Grace is a struggling single mom with any equally complicated history. She chooses to hide from things that scare her, and often finds herself making choices that please others but ultimately harm her.
As you would expect, from the very start, Roman and Grace are set on a crash course into...well, each other. But there is so much more to their journey, starting with their separate struggles to understand the role God plays in their lives.
"The Masterpiece", first, is a very enjoyable read. Rivers is an expert at cloaking her stories in mystery, in such a way that you find yourself turning page after page long after you should be asleep. She tells a story that moves quickly, and if the action doesn't pull you along, the tug on your heart will. Second, though, and just as important, this book felt well-researched. It covers sensitive topics like childhood trauma, drug use, single motherhood, as well as exploring what the life of a graffiti artist is like. All were handled well, all treated with respect and I felt, without cliche.
Fans of Rivers may find that a novel set in the present day lacks some of the romantic muscle that, say "A Voice in the Wind" might have. But the characters of Roman and Grace are equal to the beloved names we all know from Rivers: Hadassah and Marcus, Paul and Eunice Hudson, Angel and Michael. You will find yourself rooting for them from the early pages of this novel. And with a heavy dose of spirituality, Rivers takes the book to a place that transcends place and time. Make room on your bookshelf for this one!
Please note that Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Dive Master Week 4 - Gili Air - Indonesia/
While week 3 was centred around guiding and learning about fish this week was full on courses - starting with the hardest and most challenging - PADI Rescue diver
Assisting on a PADI Rescue Diver course this week really challenged my rescue skills, drills over 4 days included
- Unconscious Diver at the surface - Getting the process and timing down to deliver rescue breaths and remove all kit - this included 2 hours in the pool getting timing and positions right before going into the ocean to repeat and towing the 'patient' for over 100m in the ocean to the beach and right up to the point of commencing CPR. While I was assisting on this course with a customer, this drill is also an assessable task under the Dive Master program, so I completed it along side the customer 5/5
- Additionally my DMT Task of a Tired diver tow - timed over 100m was also undertaken on this course: 3/5 - I was slow in the current
- Assessing a conscious diver on the surface who is panicking and how to retrieve them using objects such as ropes, buoys and poles that keep you in the boat, then doing the same using techniques while you are in the water
- I assisted as the rescue diver trainee's buddy during a search for a missing diver scenario, once locating the missing diver (in this care it was a surface marker buoy hidden on the bottom, I switched to being the unconscious missing diver and had to be brought to the surface slowly and safely.
- DIVE FROM HELL - This was a test of the rescue diver's ability to diagnose problems and keep things going smoothly underwater. our instructor at various points during the dive had his fins off, used as mitts, BCD off and riding, tank band loose and weights out, mask upside down all needed fixing by the rescue diver trainee. I was laughing so much while observing my mask leaked.
This week I also ticked off a couple more of the tasks required to complete my DMT:
- Emergency Plan for a dive site - in my case I put together a comprehensive document that details location of emergency oxygen acrsss the islands, decompression chambers and their capacity along with 'how-tos" for a number of common issues such as bites and stings, burns, missing divers etc. This is being evaluated and a score will be issued
- Mapping a nominated dive site. I am 90% finished on my mapping and I passed my map around for evaluation by the other instructors for feedback. Apart from one section not being correctly oriented to the rest of the site owing to the face I have only visited that part twice. That will be updated and resubmitted.
Prior to commencing the rescue course I spent a few days assisting one of the local dive masters with some fund dives with a family that was visiting. It is so much fun showing people new sites and new animals they don't get to see often.

It is normal and healthy for adolescents to seek increased independence as they grow and develop. It is also normal for parents to have a hard time letting go. Naturally, we worry about our children's health and safety and quite frankly, their ability to make good decisions. However, in order for our children to become mature, responsible, self-disciplined young people, we must loosen the reigns and allow them to make some decisions on their own, mistakes and all.

How Much Does It Cost to Sell a House?
So How Much Does It Cost to Sell a House?
Show me the money! Admit it, that's what you're thinking when you consider selling your house. In fact, chances are good you've mentally spent much of the proceeds already—on a new house you're buying, and maybe even a nice vacation this summer. Slow down there—while selling a home can indeed bring in some sweet profits, not every dollar goes into your pocket. You also have to pay the professionals who help you unload your property. So now the question in your mind is probably: How much does it cost to sell a house? Really?
On average, home sellers pay their listing agent a commission amounting to about 6% of the price of their home (although that percentage can vary). On a $250,000 house sale, this amounts to roughly $15,000.
That might seem like a yuuuuge chunk of change, but don't go assuming you're getting ripped off! Here's where that money goes, and why it's totally worth it. Read the rest here

Client Spotlight! - Bill Eaton/
We have the pleasure today of introducing you to client, Bill Eaton, a guy who has TRULY transformed his physique and didn't go bonkers in the process. Bill trains with Christos Monastiriotis and does nutrition work with Jenn Stofferahn. He tells you how it all happened here in this Client Spotlight. If you or anyone you know is trying to lose weight, this interview is a must-read!
June 2015:
TrueFN: How long have you been working with your trainer, Christos, and your nutrition consultant, Jenn?
E: I began working with Christos and Jenn about 7 months ago in July 2015.
TrueFN: Why did you start working together?
BE: I had gained an enormous amount of weight over the past several years. Friends and family members had begun quietly expressing alarm about my obesity and how it was shortening my life. In June, while having lunch with a very good friend whom I hadn't seen for years, I could tell that she was visibly shocked by how fat I had become. However, she quite deftly and diplomatically diverted the discussion to her husband, who had been worried about his weight and had begun working successfully with Christos and Jenn at True Fitness and Nutrition. As she described the methodology TFN uses, the support and professionalism of Christos and Jenn, and the very obvious results for her husband, it sounded like a program that not only made sense but would probably work for me, too. I had long realized that I was relatively ignorant about good nutrition and nutritional habits; I simply ate whatever was convenient or available. I also realized that I needed guidance and support to get me back to the gym, as well as adding exercise and good nutrition into my daily rhythm. Building one new healthy habit a week into my schedule and learning intellectually why each of these new habits made sense, was a winning formula for me. I wasn't overwhelmed by the changes in my lifestyle, but, instead, embraced them much more easily than I could have imagined.
TrueFN: How has your physique, strength, and/or mindset changed since you started?
BE: Since working with hristos and Jenn, I have lost over 40 lbs and about 6-7 inches from my waist. I've (happily) had to buy new clothes and unpack clothes I hadn't been able to wear literally for decades. I now routinely take part in activities that I had avoided as too tiring only a few months ago. Walking up and down stairs used to wind me. Although years ago I used to enjoy jogging daily and jogged for relatively long distances, before I started going to TFN, I literally had trouble running across a street. Bending over to tie my shoes would take away my breath. I'd break into a sweat if I tried to dress too quickly in the morning. My legs were too fat to cross. I'm convinced that my obesity was a cause for problems that led to a knee operation about 6 years ago. I had used my bum knee as (yet another) justification for avoiding exercise. All of that has changed since partnering with Christos and Jenn. I now seek out (happily) opportunities to exercise. I walk to the grocery store and other shops in my city rather than driving. I run up and down my stairs without thinking twice about it.
I'm jogging again and my knees feel so good that I often forget which knee had the operation. I gladly go to the gym without worrying that folks will laugh at the fat guy huffing, puffing, and sweating profusely. I shop along the perimeter of the grocery store, rarely venturing into the center aisles. I think differently about food; it's now fuel rather than a pastime I plan my meals rather than eating impulsively. Even going with friends to restaurants, which I do frequently, is different since I now unconsciously curl my nose at the fatty caloric stuff that used to be staples of my diet. Most of all, I notice how differently and better I feel now. I'm more conscious now of how eating fatty and sugary foods -- or even eating too much food -- makes me feel and that, too, helps keep me from making bad food choices.
TrueFN: How many days a week do you exercise?
BE: I try to exercise at least 4 times a week. I meet with Christos once a week and, on the other days, I go to the gym and follow a program he developed for me.
TrueFN: Life gets busy, how often would you say you miss a workout?
BE: I'm much better dhering to a regular exercise schedule when I can control my schedule. That's not always possible. I still find excuses to keep me from the gym. However, I feel accountable to Christos when I let myself down and don't go to the gym. I also feel the difference in my energy level and mood, so that is an incentive to keep on track.
However, it's rare that I don't exercise at least 3 times a week -- which is a 300% increase over my previous rate of workouts!**
TrueFN: On a scale of 1 to 10, how hard do you work during your sessions with Christos?
BE: Each orkout session is different and the intensity varies throughout each workout, depending on what we're doing that particular day. Christos is like a mind reader, and knows (even when I try to disguise it) when I'm slacking off. He pushes me to do more than I would have thought possible. He also encourages me, particularly when I think I'm at my limit, reminding me often how far I've progressed since last July. And, just as importantly for me, he helps me intellectualize what I'm doing in any exercise and why it's useful/important. He's always available by phone, text, or email, to answer questions or give advice. His suggestion, for example, to send him email reports on every workout I undertake on my own, helps me feel accountable for building exercise into my lifestyle, but also gives him information and data points that he can use to modify our in-person workouts and my individualized workout program when I'm on my own.
TrueFN: How important is smart nutrition in your life?
BE: I think about nutrion now any time I eat. I'm conscious of food choices I make and try to make wise choices -- not because I feel shamed into making good choices, but because I understand and notice the negative and sometimes subtle impacts of bad choices. That doesn't mean that I always make the best choices. I'm still tempted by ice cream. But I can now feel (and anticipate) how that ice cream will affect me later that evening or the next morning. That awareness tempers my unbridled enthusiasm for ice cream. The same is true when I overeat some of my favorite dishes; I know there's a price to pay in how I feel afterwards.
TrueFN: Has anyone in your life been inspired by your changes?
BE: I'm not sure I've "inspired" anyone by the changes I've made in my physique and habits. However, everyone has noticed the dramatic change in how I look. Some friends joke now with mock exasperation that they have to choose restaurants for our outings that have healthy items on the menu. Many friends, when commenting about how much weight I've lost and how much fitter I look, are very interested in learning more about the TrueFN philosophy and program that led to these results.
TrueFN: What's your #1 piece of advice to someone who wants to make significant fitness progress?
BE: Gradual, step-by-step changes in fitness and nutrition habits pay dividends and are much more likely to become part of a new healthy lifestyle, rather than the overly ambitious frenzy of well-intentioned but short-lived changes that we make each year as New Year's resolutions.
Trainer Perspective - Christos Monastiriotis and Jenn Stofferahn
TrueFN: Christos, what is it like to work with Bill?
CM: Working with Bill has been a great pleasure. He is focused, determined and honest about everything he does out of the gym, whether it's nutrition with Jenn or getting to the gym, which is extremely important and rare to have in a client. Each week it seemed Bill was shrinking before my eyes. Despite everything he has been through he stays true to his goal of bettering himself, and that is truly inspiring to me. Everyday he comes in and is ready to get to work with what I have planned for him. Even though he will dread some of the exercises (the prowler!), he still pushes through and completes it. I can tell he has found his form of therapy in weight lifting and has really made it part of his life. I feel honored to be a part of his fitness journey and can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
TrueFN: Jenn, how does Bill set an example as a nutrition client?
JS: Bill started out with us already possessing a critical ingredient for success in losing weight. Bill takes the effort seriously! He had already made up his mind to commit to a process before walking in the door, all it took was an endorsement from a trusted friend for him to seek out our guidance at TrueFN. Bill has made outstanding progress so far because he's confident in the step-by-step habit change approach and, combined with his hard work in the gym with Christos, he's built exciting momentum. Every increment of progress inspires him more, which keeps the ball rolling. Mindset is the MOST important aspect to success in changing your body. Bill is the right attitude and it's why he has results. Kudos to Bill for his lifestyle change!

Other than the arm for which each features, New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ can be the new David Cone.
Over the summer, I penned a piece on how the New York Yankees landing J.A. Happ drew an interesting parallel to the David Cone trade in 1995. Today, I am here to tell you he can be New York's second coming of Cone.
Happ answered the bell and then some once he put on the pinstripes. He went 7-0 with a 2.57 ERA in 11 starts, finishing the year with an overall record of 17-6 with a 3.65 ERA. He faltered in the playoffs, allowing five runs in two innings against the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the American League Division Series.
But that's just one start, disheartening as it was given Happ's usual dominance of Boston. He turns 36 on Friday and isn't getting any younger, but often pitches as though he's 26.
Make no mistake, Yankees fans. J.A. Happ is the new David Cone and needs to be re-signed. If similar results are achieved compared to Cone's Yankee tenure, that's already a win.
David Cone revisited
Before we go any further with Happ, let's revisit the trade that brought Cone to New York. The Yankees acquired him from the Toronto Blue Jays at the 1995 trade deadline in exchange for three minor leaguers. Cone was 9-6 with a 3.38 ERA at the time and was everything the Yankees hoped he would be the moment he put on the uniform. The reigning AL Cy Young winner finished the year 9-2 with a 3.82 ERA and finished fourth in voting for the trophy.

The shop in Havana is dust
and the Irish cotton is dust
and my father, a dusty Jew,
day after day comes home with a loaf of bread beneath his arm.
Day after day, each day alike,
Papa arrives: we eat lunch, our eyes fixed on the ceiling's ornate
I have never seen the water come in, have seen neither fish nor
flowerpot. (1242)
The repetition of "dust" in the opening lines suggest a dullness—which we see in the scene where Kozer enjoys a meal with his family. The repetition of images and words such as "dust," the string of things and dusty items, "day after day," indicate that in Kozer's life there exists an overwhelming sense of monotony. Kozer views the world as dusty, dry, and lifeless—lacking luster. The actions of his father going to work every day, coming home every day with "a loaf of bread beneath his arm," "each day alike," all show that nothing changes in the routine. The scenes with the father prove just as unexciting, with Kozer's eyes "fixed" on something as arbitrary as mold during the meal (rather than having conversation)—so boring infact that the mold becomes "ornate." Perhaps he sees the intricacies in mold because he has had so much time to ponder it. He and his parents don't talk during the meal and that indicates that they don't have much to say to one another and that single action becomes more telling when every single day they have nothing to say—hinting at the strain in his relationship with his parents. These descriptions and imagery directly contrast with what he has never seen (and what we can assume he wants to see). He chooses to focus on "water" and the movement of water as things he has never seen before and water embodies the opposite of dust and dryness. Water serves as a symbol for excitement in his life that he lacks. In a more literal sense, the things he wants to see, "water [coming] in," "fish," and "flowerpot," things that one finds in the outside world, and his yearning to see those things act as a sign that he doesn't get to go out and interact with nature and the world as much as he likes. The line of the father who "comes home" to Kozer and Kozer's mother supports this idea. Kozer remains indoor, in his own house throughout the poem—not outdoors. We do not see movement from his character as opposed to the father and this further supports the suggestion that Kozer sees the excitement he lacks in his own life as a quality that can only exist in the outside world—in the unknown.

The Cast Whale Project by CAST Contributor, Gil Schachar
Gil Shachar is an incredibly skilled sculptor who specializes in casting from life. His subjects are usually objects or people, but in 2009, he awoke from a dream with a vision of a himself having cast a whale.
He documented the dream with some drawings but then set them aside figuring that the practical concerns would make the piece impossible. However, he couldn't shake his interest in trying to make this work happen.
Every year, thousands of whales and dolphins are stranded on coastlines around the wolrd. In most cases, rescue efforts are pointless. The reasons for the phenomenon of stranding, which has been documented since the Middle Ages, remain unclear despite extensive research.
However, care for whales and dolphins is a hot topic with marine biologists all over the world. These intelligent and sentient beings are emotional, they communicate, and they are important inhabitants of the oceans. Raising awareness and forming a connection with these incredible creatures is doing a great service to the earth.
In 2013, even after four years, Shachar was still thinking about the cast whale. After researching places and conditions, Shachar decided that South Africa would be the best place to try to accomplish this massive undertaking.
In 2014, he applied for and was awarded a grant from the state of North Rhine Westphalia, where he lives and works in Germany. Using his grant money, he traveled to Capetown, South Africa for a period of three months during whale breeding season.
There, he worked through the complicated permitting process so if the stars aligned and he was able to proceed, he'd be allowed to have access to beaches to do the work. Working on the beach, driving vehicles on the beach, and use of the access roads is strictly prohibited in South Africa, so getting these permits was key.
While he was in South Africa, he also met Lachlan Matthews, a nature conservationist who works with the Department of Environmental Affairs and with a number of museums. They will be working together to realize the project when the moment is right.
Matthews is estimating that they'll need a team of 5 to 6 people to do the work when the time comes, but they will have 15 to 20 skilled moldmakers (artists, sculptors, people who work in the film industry) on call to ensure that they'll have adequate help since this is a time-sensitive project. The team is based in Lambert's Bay, a few hundred kilometers north of Capetown.
There are many layers of complication to achieve their goal:
- They need a beached whale. Matthews estimates that two to six big whales wash up each year over 600 km of coastline.
- The whale must be completely on the beach, not partially in the water.
- They have to stay in touch with the coastal station commanders, who find and deal with beached whales.
- They have to assess photos and conditions to decide if it's a viable scenario.
- The weather, tides, and sea conditions must be right. It can't be too cold or windy, and the sea must be relatively calm.
- Materials need to be at the ready because the work has to start immediately before the whale begins to deteriorate.
- They need to be in touch with the farmers whose land contains the access roads to the beach.
- The team must be on call and ready to go immediately.
When all of these conditions are met, Matthews and his team in South Africa will begin work immediately. Shachar will join them as soon as possible, but due to the nature of beached whales, work must begin right away.
Shachar plans to make the mold out of polyester resin and fiberglass in sections that can be transported off site to make the final casting. The final sculpture will most likely be done in resin, but there's time to make that decision - there's no urgency in the final casting like there is in the moldmaking.
This massive undertaking is so exciting to us because it's another example of casting capturing the ephemeral. Coming face-to-face with a whale is something very few people ever do and this gets to the "why" of the project.
When asked why he wants to embark on this complicated project, Shachar says that he just has the strong feeling that someone needs to do this. (Incidentally, this is very similar to the reason we wrote CAST... somebody had to do it, and we finally realized it was going to be us. It's a peculiar feeling to be compelled to take on a massive project for this reason and we applaud Gil for this act of bravery!)
Shachar goes on to talk about encountering this creature that we all know about, have read about, have seen pictures of, and is a part of myths and stories, but we don't get to encounter them, especially up close. He then says, no real interpretation is necessary - it will simply be an amazing experience.
The Cast Whale Project is obviously a massive undertaking, and like all art, cannot exist without patronage. Shachar has started a Kickstarter fundraising effort with a range of rewards for various levels of giving.
We hope you'll support this worthwhile project. Check out Gil's Kickstarter campaign for details! There's a wonderful video that includes interviews with Lachlan Matthews and it's narrated by Gil. You can also see him take a mold of someone's head for a future lifecast. It's a really nice video - definitely worth the watch.
The final cast whale will be displayed in South Africa and then throughout Europe.
For more information, follow The Cast Whale Project on Facebook.
And finally, be sure to explore Gil Shachar's incredible work on his website, and of course, in CAST!

LAS VEGAS — Who let the dog out?
Sony rolled out a much cuter — and more sophisticated — Aibo robot dog on Tuesday, and it came off acting and moving a lot more like a real canine.
The Japanese electronics giant retired the original Aibo in 2006 and went back to the lab to develop a 2.0 version.
The one displayed at CES 2018 here has a new design that features expressive LED eyes and a vastly expanded range of movement, and is able to learn new tricks through real-world training.
It is currently available only in Japan, but for roughly $1,760 and perhaps a little web magic, you can be the coolest person at the neighborhood dog park.
Even strippers' jobs may not be safe from the robots.
A Las Vegas jiggle joint has installed a pair of mechanized pole dancers to bump and grind on stage for computer nerds who wander over from this week's CES technology bash.
The robot strippers had tip buckets at their feet with signs saying "MIT bound" and "need money for batteries."
"Come watch sparks fly as the Robo Twins shake their hardware and leave everyone wondering if those double Ds are real or made in 'Silicone' Valley," the Sapphire Gentlemen's Club said in an announcement, inviting tech geeks to ogle and salivate over the stiletto-heeled cyborgs.
Alexa, Alexa, Alexa.
Throughout the convention center here, Amazon's popular home assistants seem to be everywhere — on PCs, in cars and refrigerators, and around every corner.
Google, fighting the Alexa tide, has partnered with several gadget makers to get its Home Assistant out and about.
One of Google's deals was with Lenovo, which introduced a Google Assistant-enabled speaker with a touch video screen.
Though not technically a part of the Google Home line of products, the Lenovo Smart Display is a strategic partnership that will allow Google to battle Amazon's Echo show.
And unlike Alexa, the Smart Display will be able to play YouTube. Google has not licensed the channel to rival Amazon.
Add washing your clothes or cooking dinner to the tasks you can control with your Apple Watch.
Whirlpool introduced a collection of 20 washers, dryers and ovens that can be controlled from the popular smartwatch.
So if you're out and about and running late, you can shut off that oven so that you don't burn dinner.
No price information was released with the products.
Just because a TV is big doesn't mean it needs to take up a lot of space.
That's the idea behind LG's new 65-inch 4K OLED display.
The screen rolls up like a newspaper when you want it to go away, and can partially roll if you want to adjust the aspect ratio of the movie or show you're watching.
Though the display is only a prototype, it might be a real glimpse of the future centerpiece of your entertainment system, the company said.

Does anyone else feel that this year is just whizzing by? I'm trying to make every moment count as it seems to be going by so fast, but then I feel an added pressure to try to be present and mindful in every moment and guilty when I'm not- it's so hard to strike that balance!
The first half of February felt like a busy one with some fun national days like Pancake Day and Valentine's Day to throw into the mix. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day, however, it would appear that Aiden does. Bless him! He's only 3 but kindly gifted me a dozen roses, Nigella's latest cookbook, and some chocolates as well making an adorable card at nursery. We also ate our body weight in pancakes too, Nutella ones, jammy ones, lemon and sugar ones. So all in all, February has been sprinkled with fun, but I've also been getting my head down and planning some exciting things too. Here's what else I've been up to…
Speaking out about being an introvert
I was quite vocal about being an introvert over on my , which isn't something that I've spoken openly about much or the challenges that it can bring. I've found it hard to make friends for the majority of my life and it's held me back in so many ways. However, over the past year, since we settled back in the East Midlands and made it our home again I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and surround myself with some amazing, uplifting and supportive women. I'm going to be talking about it more on the blog and I have a new opt-in that I'm working on dedicated to introverts as I feel that there isn't that much out there, so watch this space.
Anyone else addicted to Insta Stories? I share quite a lot over there, like my day to day, behind the scenes, self care tips, simple recipes, and discussion topics, and it's all honest and messy, so do follow along if you like that kind of thing. My account is , it would be great to see you over there.
Launching the Balance Retreat
Incidentally, as apart fo my collaboration with my friend , who I met via blogging and stepping out of my comfort zone we launched our first event – a in April. We've been working on it for some time and really excited to get it out in the open. It's a day dedicated to women who are looking to inject for balance and bliss into their lives. There will be insightful workshops, tasty nourishing food, a pilates class, relaxation and lots of fun.
We currently have Early Bird offers available and you can register and find out more details .
Night Out With Friends
As many of you mums will know, we don't get the opportunity to go out with our friends much. Last Friday night, I went out sans child and husband with 2 of my friends and it was so lovely to be out. It was a given that it wasn't going to be a wild night, just a drink in the village pub, but it was really lovely. I was in bed by 10 pm too, my 21-year-old self would be ashamed of me!
The Mending Mummy Insta Takeover
I've never done an Insta takeover before, so I was really honoured to be asked to take over the Instagram account for the day. I wasn't sure what to share at first, not thinking that I would be interesting enough, however, their audience was very kind and welcoming, which helped put me at ease. I shared my working day essentials and some achievable self care tips that you can easily slot into your everyday.

Character Focus: Vin & Chris
Type of story: Gen Fic
Summary: Chris gets introspective and Vin is there to offer support.
The fall colors of red, orange and gold were giving way to the perpetual green of the tall pines as Chris and Vin drove up the long aspen lined lane that led to the Larabee ranch. The two had the truck windows down and were enjoying what was sure to be one of the last nice fall days before the winter winds and snow decided to make an appearance. The pine forest that wrapped its way around the Larabee spread made the ranch seem a private oasis away from prying eyes and the stress and bustle of the city.
As the tires crunched over the leaf-encrusted gavel of the lane Vin thought once again about finding a piece of land for himself. The fresh pine filled air and the scenery alone were enough to make the long drive to and from Denver worthwhile. However, the kids in Purgatorio needed him and so he would continue to live vicariously though his weekend visits with Chris.
Vin looked to his right and realized Chris too was lost in thought as he gazed out the side window through the trees. He knew that the man's mood was not the best, but who could blame him. While their last bust was considered a success, Chris had taken a round to the shoulder before Vin had been able to take the shooter down. The ensuing surgery to remove the bullet and the hospital stay, thought short was not helping. A smile crossed Vin's face as he recalled the intern literally wilting under the infamous Larabee glare when the boy informed Chris that he would need to wear a sling for the next two weeks. Poor kid didn't know what hit him and Vin was sure he had heard laughter as the young doctor was met by the medical staff who had sent the poor boy in unprepared for dealing with the Leader of the 'notorious' Team Seven. The kid had to be younger than J.D. and had pretty much shoved the prescriptions in Chris good hand before beating a hasty retreat.
Pulling his mind back to the matter at hand, Vin maneuvered around a large pothole in the road and made a mental note to repair it before the weekend was over. A slight curve to the right and the wooded archway which made up the lane opened to an expanse of lush grassland and a sprawling ranch style house surrounded by tall oaks and maples now devoid of leaves.
Amazingly the front yard seemed to be leaf free also, which was not the case when Vin had been out to check on the horses earlier in the week. At that time the lawn had been covered with a thick carpet of leaves.
"Looks like we're the last ones here," Vin commented to the still silent Larabee. He pulled the big Ram into its spot in front of the garage along side the other vehicles and turned off the motor. The hum of the truck's engine was replaced by the whirl of a smaller motor and the sound of voices coming from behind the house.
Nathan met the two at the front door. "Chris, how are you feeling? I offered to pick you up so I could talk to your doctor but Vin wouldn't hear of it. You're looking tired. I . . ."
Nathan's words were cut off by a single look from Vin which spoke volumes.
Taking in the tired and sullen look of their leader he changed tactics. "The boys are out back. We've been working on the leaves all morning, even Ezra. Though Lord only knows how Josiah got him to actually help. I was just in to check on my stew."
At a look from both Vin and Chris he was quick to add, "Don't worry, I didn't make it. Raine sent it with me. She said you needed something hearty, healthy, but most importantly tasty after eating hospital food. Said that left my cooking out." Nathan realized he was rambling, but couldn't seem to stop. "Why don't you go sit on the deck, I'm sure they could use some supervision."
Vin nodded his thanks to Nathan and handed him a small bag containing Chris' medication and release instructions.
The two men moved to the back deck. Vin pulled the lounge chairs out where they would catch the full warmth of the afternoon sun, warding off the slight chill in the air. He watched as Chris settled into the lounge before lowering himself into the remaining chair to watch the men out working on the lawn. Chris wasn't ready to say what was bothering him, but when he was Vin planned to be there.
Chris knew Vin sat beside him patiently waiting . . . they were only words. Fall was Sarah's favorite time of year. Such an easy sentence, but Chris couldn't bring himself to say it out loud . . . to share the memory. Memories were all he had now. He looked straight ahead his eyes seeing only the past.
Sarah had loved this place the moment they first saw it. It was fall and the trees in the yard were abloom with color. The soft breeze made a whispering sound as it blew through the pines and the aspen leaves shimmered in the morning sun. Forget that the house was far from perfect and in need of major repairs. All she could see was the possibilities. She had picked out a big oak in the back yard, one with sprawling branches and explained that this was where the tire swing would go. Forget that the roof needed shingles and the house a good coat of paint. Never mind that the back steps consisted of cinder blocks.
They had spent the day looking around both inside and out, Chris listing the flaws, Sarah seeing only the potential. As usual, Chris could never say no to Sarah and they had moved in a month later. When the winter winds blew through the missing window caulking she had never complained, just smiled and said it gave them all the more reason to toss another log on the fire and cuddle. Sarah had a way of finding something good in every situation . . . just like Josiah. A wiry smile crossed Chris face, now where did that thought come from.
Chris jumped as Nathan's hand came to rest on his shoulder and two pills appeared in the man's open palm. Without thought he tossed them into his mouth and then accepted the proffered glass of water. Nathan proceeded to lay a blanket across his outstretched legs and another around his shoulders. Taking the glass of water from Chris he sat it on the table and headed down the steps toward the others. "Stew should be ready in another hour or so."
You would have liked Nathan, Sarah. You always said I didn't know enough to come out of the rain and needed a keeper. Chris wasn't sure Nathan would like being called 'a keeper' anymore than he did 'a mother hen'. He chuckled, thinking of all the times the medic had threatened or cajoled them into following doctors' orders. It did seem a bit colder out and Chris pulled the blanket tighter around his injured shoulder.
Chris felt Vin's eyes on him. He knew the man was worried, but he also knew Vin wouldn't pry. He would stay by Chris side for as long as it took him to work through his problems, offering his silent support. Vin was his rock, a firm foundation, the constant he could always depend on. The man had an uncanny way of reading his emotions and seemed to know just when to let him stew and when to give him that needed kick in the ass. How often had he heard Sarah say, 'Chris Larabee, quit taking yourself so seriously.' Well Sarah, with Vin around you don't need to worry about that.
Buck's booming laugh drew Chris attention to the five men out in the yard. With the aid of a leaf blower and a few rakes they had accumulated a rather impressive pile of leaves which now sat in the vicinity of Sarah's tree. Buck lay in the middle of the pile after having launched himself from Adam's tire swing which still hung from the big oak.
Chris remembered the day Buck had climbed the huge tree and scampered out on the branch to attach the rope just where Sarah pointed. His petit wife, from the beginning, had the ladies man firmly wrapped around her little finger and this had just been the latest of her many requests. Buck spent all of his free time at the ranch those first years helping with the never ending repairs. When Adam was born he had been just as enamored of the little boy as he was the mother. If it hadn't been for Buck, Chris wasn't sure he would have made it through those first days after the accident.
No matter how hard he pushed Buck away, Wilmington always came back for more. It wasn't until J.D. had joined the team that Chris realized Buck had been hurting as much as he. The man had taken J.D. under his wing and could be as protective as a mother bear guarding her cub when it came to the young man. Chris was seeing a side of his old friend that he hadn't realized was missing. Perhaps Sara had been watching out for Buck too. How else could Chris explain going against his better judgment and hiring someone he had felt he was too young and too inexperienced? He had never regretted that decision.
Chris watched as J.D. prepared to launch himself from the swaying swing and into the pile of leaves. As the young man landed the other men appeared to be scoring his form. Well, all except for Standish who sat leaning against the tree distancing himself from the activity. Not for long if Josiah and Nathan have anything to say about it. Chris watched as the two edged ever closer to the unsuspecting man.
A pensive smile touch Chris' face. Ezra reminded him of a little boy with his nose pressed against the window of a candy story. Knowing what he wanted, but on the outside looking in and unwilling to take that first step. The more Standish tried to stay aloof the harder the others worked to pull him in. Though he didn't want to admit it, they needed the self-reliant undercover agent as much as he needed them. Who knew the cynical SOB would be the glue that held this team together?
Chris sat up straight and watched as the men pounced, Josiah grabbing Ezra's feet and Nathan his hands. The man put up the appearance of a fight but Chris knew the Black Belt was capable of far more. They swung Ezra between them as Buck and J.D. counted down.
The satisfying thud could be heard followed by Ezra's sputtering and ranting as he pulled himself from the leaf pile.
Chris leaned back with a satisfied smile, and then grimaced as pain shot through his injured shoulder as it made contact with the hard back of the chair. Once again he felt Vin's gaze on him.
"You okay, Cowboy?"
Chris turned toward his friend, his eyes meeting Vin's for the first time since leaving the hospital. He noted the look of concern in the blue gaze that locked with his.
"Just counting my blessings." This time the smile reached Chris' eyes. "Did I ever tell you that fall was Sarah's favorite time of year?"
The End

So this is the part where I introduce you a bit about myself and what I am doing here, then?
Who am I?
In simple terms Jonathan is a London born Home Counties dwelling chap who loves nothing more than being able to go places broadening my horizons. And more than that, being able to encourage and inspire others to share that as well.
Fair game to say he caught a first taste of the travel bug very early. Watching TV travel shows from a very early age dreaming of visiting even the most far flung destinations that seemed beyond our dreams was an early influence.
Flash forward to young adulthood and university where I had the honour of being on an Erasmus exchange year in the magical university city of Heidelberg which further encouraged my wanderlust. The freedom of going places on a whim became addictive, as I made the most of my chance to rail through Europe at the time. Also, being a first experience of independent travel made it all the more exciting. Granted that post-university real world circumstances sometimes intervened and put such regular vagabonding on hold. Nevertheless, the dream remained intact and I would make the most of whatever free time was available.
Why travel?
Since then, even going away for just a "mini breaks" every so often has become not only something that fills me with excitement and anticipation but is also part of a lifestyle aspiration. And that is why I have decided to take things further by sharing that with others.
No matter where I went or what I did everywhere would be an adventure. And a test of mettle. Developing a greater sense of independence and freedom and working out how to get from A to B in a completely new destination by using my own initiative, especially in different languages. The confidence to travel solo and all the daunting fears that may bring. Meeting great new people on the way. Discovering new passions and interests that I never thought about before. Learning valuable life lessons that helped me grow as a person and prepare myself better for any future events and challenges.
Getting out and about, meeting people and going places sometimes off the beaten track is what enriches your life in more ways than one. The experiences from any trip can leave a lasting impression. The places, the people, the sights, the sounds, and many more I am sure you will agree. And being able to do it with a realistic budget too.
Why blog?
Going places is one thing, but more recently I have been inspired to actually write about my various escapades – past, present and future. And to encourage others to do likewise and visit some great places. I do remember past trips (such as my great Greenland and Arctic excursion) promising to write a journal, only to be sidetracked….. But now is the time to do it and share with the world. For real!
So, this is my place to share my thoughts of great trips and to inspire you as well for your travel plans too! But also to show the honest side of things. Tales of when things may or may not have gone swimmingly. The real side beyond fancy hotel rooms and the much visited tourist sights.
By land, sea or air, I journey for all to share!

Mariners Insider Blog
Takeaways: Mariners' bullpen in need of a reset after latest loss
That James Paxton's poor start Friday night resulted in a 10-4 loss for the Mariners in their series opener against Texas was bad enough.
When healthy, Paxton has been the Mariners' best starter by far. Seeing him get cuffed around for a second straight start is cause for concern.
"We've got to figure it out," manager Scott Servais said. "We've got to get Pax in a good spot and going in the right direction again. The last couple (of starts) he just hasn't looked comfortable out there. Everything looks like a struggle.
"He's a big part of trying to dig us out of this little hole we've created here."
Instead, Paxton put extra strain Friday on a bullpen trying to cover innings for a patchwork rotation until Felix Hernandez, Hisashi Iwakuma and Drew Smyly return from the disabled list.
The Mariners have, generally, managed to tread water despite their injury problems because Paxton and Ariel Miranda routinely delivered solid starts. Those two permitted the bullpen to rest while slowing the long-reliever carousel.
But Miranda lasted just four innings Thursday in a loss at Minnesota, which heightened the need for Paxton to provide a steadying influence. Instead, he worked just 3 2/3 innings and gave up seven runs.
The strain is showing.
"It does put us in a tough spot," Servais said. "You rely on those guys to get you deep into games. It allows you to give your bullpen and your long guys a break to regroup and regather. The last couple of nights have been rough."
The Mariners used a long reliever Friday for the fourth time in six games — starting with Emilio Pagan, who worked four innings last Sunday after Paxton lasted just four innings in a loss to Toronto.
Casey Lawrence replaced Pagan on the roster and pitched 3 2/3 innings Tuesday in a loss at Minnesota. Chase De Jong replaced Lawrence and worked four innings behind Miranda in Thursday's loss to the Twins.
That forced the Mariners to drop down to Double-A Arkansas to recall Zac Curtis as a replacement for De Jong. Curtis is a short reliever, but he threw 44 pitches over three innings in Friday's loss at Texas.
That means another roster move is likely prior to Saturday's game to secure another fresh arm. The question is who? Pagan, Lawrence and De Jong haven't been away the required 10 days to be eligible for a recall.
The same goes for Tyler Cloyd, who was optioned June 10 to Triple-A Tacoma.
Dillon Overton served as the long reliever earlier this year, but he threw 87 pitches Friday for Tacoma in a loss at El Paso (Padres).
That leaves Ryne Harper and Rob Whalen as candidates on the 40-man roster unless the Mariners want to rush Arkansas closer Thyago Vieira. Harper and Whalen were each promoted previously this season for brief tours.
Harper is a short reliever who threw 21 pitches on Thursday. Whalen threw 86 pitches on Tuesday as a starter.
Promoting someone not currently on the 40-man roster is unlikely since that requires a corresponding space-clearing move. In effect, doing so carries the risk of losing a player in order to promote a pitcher likely to be a short-term addition.
What the Mariners need Saturday is a strong innings-eating start from Yovani Gallardo to reset their bullpen. The patches don't need to hold much longer. Hernandez and Iwakuma could each return to active duty within a week.
Three takeaways from Friday's loss:
***Fixing Paxton: Asked what's wrong, Paxton responded: "I'm trying to figure it out right now. Something is definitely not right."
The process began even before the game ended. Paxton had already taken a quick look at the tapes, consulted with pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre and believes the problem can be corrected in his next bullpen workout.
"Things aren't firing at the right time right now," he said. "I think it's a very small fix. It's something I can work on in the bullpen."
***Gamel adds a new wrinkle: Left fielder/leadoff hitter Ben Gamel remains on a tear. He had a single and two walks in four plate appearances, which boosted his average to. 347 and his on-base percentage to .414.
Gamel also played the Mariners' final defensive inning at first base. That's an effort to add a little more versatility to his repertoire.
***Speed and pop: Jarrod Dyson came to the Mariners in an off-season trade after hitting just seven home runs in 1,539 plate appearances over his seven previous seasons at Kansas City.
He now has four homers this season in 230 plate appearances after rocking a 407-foot drive into the second deck Friday at Globe Life Park. Dyson is also batting .323 over his last 21 games.

Over a month ago, I was commenting to my family that one of our favourite flavours of ice cream was no longer being made – Haagen Dazs Bailey's Ice Cream. Hence in order to replicate the taste, I had bought some Haagen Dazs Vanilla ice cream, and added Bailey's Irish cream to it – it had to be mixed in and resulted in a mushy mixture. I thought there must be a way of making ice cream myself. Hence I looked into getting an ice cream maker – one which did not cost too much. As Amazon had a good offer for the Aicok ice cream maker on their Lightning Deal, I decided to take the plunge and bought one. Continue reading Aicok Ice Cream Maker

Mother's Day
Today in UK, we celebrated Mother's Day. My daughters and I decided to prepare and serve the three meals of the day for my wife, so she could have the break she deserved from looking after her family. The plan was for my oldest daughter to prepare breakfast, my youngest to prepare lunch and I would prepare and cook dinner. I had also bought some special tequila to make her favourite cocktail – Margarita. Continue reading Mother's Day

Dream Races
Do you have a list of races you'd like to do "someday"? Like visions of Sugar Plum fairies dancing in your head? I know most runners dream of Boston, but I'm under no crazy delusions that I'll ever qualify for Boston. New York is surrounded by all sorts of hype, but I'm not sure that one excites me that much, either.
I think the races I would most like to do are...
Marine Corps Marathon - My father was a Marine for 26 years. I trained for the Marines at Officer Candidate School (even though I subsequently turned down my commission). And I grew up just south of D.C. For me, this marathon would be sentimental. I hope to do it someday in the near future. But first I have to know I can complete a marathon. And second, I have to commit to travelling there mid-school year, while I have 3 small children - not the easiest thing to plan.
Maui Marathon - Really, does this one need explanation? It's supposed to be much smaller than the Honolulu Marathon with only 1450 entries. And let me just past this little excerpt from Runner's World to show you why it tempts me... "This beautiful point-to-point, mostly flat course offers the best of Hawaii. Marathon morning on Maui begins in Kahului with a traditional Hawaiian blessing, hula dancers, and musicians blowing conch shells in the prerace darkness. The race starts at 5:30 a.m. to take advantage of cooler temperatures (in the 60s). Tiki torches light the way for the first half-mile. At mile six you see the sun rise over the 10,000-foot volcano Mount Haleakala. After mile eight you run alongside the crashing waves of the Maui surf for much of the race. Off the coast you can see Molokini, an extinct volcano crater. As you run northwest, the West Maui Mountains block the sun. Enjoy the cool ocean breezes and the sun at your back, and take advantage of the plentiful fluid stations with iced sponges—by 10 a.m. temps can be in the 80s. On the flat section between miles 14 and 19, you've got great views of two other Hawaiian islands, Lanai and Molokai, and the chance for some cooling crosswinds. You arrive in the historic whaling village of Lahaina before finishing at the Kaanapali Resort Area, where you are greeted with a lei and a medallion as you cross the finish line." (Yes, the photo to the left is part of the course... sweet, eh?)
Disney Princess Half Marathon - Again, this really shouldn't take any explanation. It's Disney, and it's fun. And you know what? I'm registered!!! I can't wait. My family will be coming along, and we'll be enjoying a full week of Disney along with the festivities. It will be the first time my husband and kids have ever been to Disney. I haven't been since I was a very very young kid. I absolutely can't wait... but shhhhhhhhh, the kids don't know. They'll be getting their Disney tickets for Christmas!!!
So what are your dream races???

Tornadoes touched down in the upper Midwest and northern Arkansas Tuesday, killing at least two people, as a spring-like storm system posed a risk to 45 million people.One person was killed when an apparent tornado ripped through Perry County, Missouri, about 80 miles south of St. Louis. Eight to 10 homes near the small town of Perryville were badly damaged and winds were so strong that several vehicles were blown off of Interstate 55 . It warned that significant tornadoes with winds above 111 mph were possible until 4 a.m. Central time.The Bald Knob storm was part of the same system that produced a wall cloud near Mayflower, Arkansas, which was hit in 2014 by a tornado with winds approaching 200 mph.The Arkansas storm held together for more than 100 miles, though it did not produce tornadoes.
