This is a guest post by the fabulous Shay from Mainly Braids.
How to Make A Chore Chart
I think it's important to teach our children cleanliness and the value of a dollar. Although I'm a stay at home mom I think there's no reason I should pick up my son's toy trucks 80 times a day when he's perfectly capable of doing that himself. I'm a firm believer that a clean home is a happy home.. or at least in the case of my family anyway. My kids are 3 and 5 and I decided it was time for a chore chart that they could easily see and use by themselves.
I searched on Google and Pinterest (follow us!) looking for some cool chore chart ideas. I found a lot of them but I didn't want to make anything too difficult, expensive and time consuming. I combined a lot of ideas and came up with one simple, cheap, and effective chore chart!
The items you will need are:
>>1 1/2 inch disc circles
>>magnetic tape
>>card stock or paper
>>mod podge (bought or homemade)
>>paint brush
Decide the chores you'd like for your kids and assign prices/prizes for each chore completed. I decided to add in things that my kids need to work on like reading, writing, and team work.
You may use mine if you'd like, just print out and cut within the inside of the circle and it'll be a perfect fit to your disc circles. If you don't want those chores or prices you could easily white it out in paint or use picmonkey.com and fill in your own. I used font Quicksand on picmonkey if interested on keeping the same font.
From here it's pretty easy work. Print, cut out and mod podge to the circles. Once they are dry do a top coat of mod podge and stick some magnetic tape on the back and voila! *To make homemade "mod podge" mix equal parts glue and water. I've used it to make our photo canvas pictures with no issues. I also used it to attach the mod podge label to that jar over a year and a half ago and it's still holding strong!*
To keep things easy my kids are allowed to pick no more than 2 jobs a day. It keeps them from getting overwhelmed and insures that they do their job accurately and not in a hurry just to earn extra money.
This project cost me a whole $2.97 before I used my coupon. The discs are $1.97 at my Michael's and the magnetic tape was .97. They typically have a 40% coupon that you can print online so that makes it even cheaper!

After a preview was released earlier this week, Adele's Bond theme for Skyfall has officially been unleashed (at 0:07am UK/GMT time). It's definitely the best theme of the Daniel Craig era (although some will still prefer Casino Royale), and will be enjoyed by those who loved Shirley Bassey's classic themes from Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever.
The six-time Grammy Award winner co-wrote the song with producer Paul Epworth, who previously collaborated with Adele on her single Rolling in the Deep, and the hope is for the song to be one of the biggest selling digital singles of the year.
Listen to Adele's theme below:
"I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song for 'Skyfall,'" says the musical artist. "There's a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song. But I fell in love with the script and Paul had some great ideas for the track and it ended up being a bit of a no-brainer to do it in the end. It was also a lot of fun writing to a brief, something I've never done which made it exciting. When we recorded the strings, it was one of the proudest moments of my life. I'll be back combing my hair when I'm 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day, I'm sure!"
Skyfall opens October 26 in the UK, and November 9 in the US.

AA Cars works closely with thousands of UK used car dealers to bring you one of the largest selections of Citroen C8 cars on the market. You can also browse Citroen dealers to find a second hand car close to you today. All used Citroen C8 on the AA Cars website come with free 12 months breakdown cover.
The C8 is one of the largest offerings in the Citroen range, and adds to the French manufacturer's extensive collection of sizeable family vehicles. Designed along with a number of European manufacturers (including Peugeot, Fiat and Lancia), the C8 is both luxurious and practical, featuring seven comfortable seats, an impressive amount of standard equipment and smooth and refined HDI engines. Electrically operated sliding doors make entry and exit into the expansive cabin a doddle - up to 2948 litres is available with all folding and seat-manoeuvring done - while on the road it is at its best when cruising. A lack of nimble ability limits its city driving, but its beefier engines (the 2.2 litre HDI in particular), gives it calm power on the motorway. The C8 has since been discontinued in favour of Citroen's larger crossover options, but it remains one of the most spacious, family-friendly MPVs around.

Back to: The Spanish Explore America
Spanish Explorers:
Captain Juan Bautista de Anza II (1736-1788) – A Mexican-born trailblazer and explorer, de Anza was the first person of European descent to establish an overland trail from Mexico to the northern Pacific coast of California. His expeditions brought hundreds of settlers to California, who founded the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose.
The son of Juan Bautista de Anza I, he was born in July, 1736 in Fronteras, Sonora, Mexico. In 1752 he enlisted in the army at the Presidio of Fronteras and advanced rapidly becoming a captain by 1760. He married Ana María Pérez Serrano, the daughter of Spanish mine owner Francisco Pérez Serrano in 1761. He became known for his abilities as a soldier fighting Apache Indians in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. On July 25, 1767 he was ordered to arrest Jesuits on the Sonora River, a commission that he carried out successfully but under great duress. In 1772, he requested permission from the viceroy to discover a route to Alta, California, something his father had done in 1737 but was killed by Apaches before he could make the journey. He left Tubac, Mexico in January, 1774 and returned there in May, after having successfully found the route and traveling to the newly established Presidio of Monterey. He was advanced to lieutenant colonel by the King after completing the successful expedition. He began organizing a second expedition in Mexico City in January, 1775 to colonize the San Francisco Bay, and started recruiting colonizers in Culiacán, Mexico in March, 1775. The expedition left Tubac on October 23, 1775 with some 300 people and 1,000 head of livestock. There were no wagons or carts. All supplies were loaded on pack mules every morning and unloaded every night.
The expedition arrived in Monterey, California in March, 1776. Leaving the people there, Anza and the expedition chaplain, Friar Pedro Font, and several soldiers explored the country around the San Francisco Bay. Today, the entire route within Arizona and California is commemorated by the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. Upon his return to Mexico City, Anza was made commander of all the troops in Sonora in the fall of 1776 and was later appointed Governor of New Mexico in 1777.
In 1779, with 800 men and 2,500 horses, he led an expedition from New Mexico through Colorado and across the Arkansas River to engage the Comanche Indians under the command of Chief Cuerno Verde. Cornering the chief near Rye, Colorado, the campaign killed him and several other head men, which eventually precipitated the longest lasting peace treaty ever signed by the Comanche with any of the governments of Spain, Mexico, or the United States. Anza then led an expedition to the Hopi country that same fall to try to help save the people, who were dying from a long-lasting drought. In 1780, he led an expedition to discover a route between Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Arizpe, Sonora, Mexico. That expedition was also successfully completed.
In 1786 he asked to be released as Governor and his request was granted in 1787. He was made commander of the Buenaventura Presidio in 1787 and then appointed commander of all the troops in Sonora shortly thereafter. He was made commander of the Tucson Presidio in the fall of 1788. He rode there and conducted a review of the troops. Returning to his home in Arizpe, he died suddenly on December 19, 1788.
Luis de Moscoso Alvarado (1505-1551) – A Spanish explorer and conquistador, he participated in the conquest of present Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador, and assumed command of Hernando De Soto's expedition after he died.
Lucas Vazquez de Ayllon (1475-1526) – A Spanish conquistador and explorer who tried to start a colony in North America in 1526. He was the first European colonizer of what is now South Carolina. His attempt to settle the coast of the Carolinas near the mouth of the Peedee River at Winyah Bay was unsuccessful. Thought to have been born in Toledo, Spain in 1475, he grew up to become a planter and explorer. Working as a sugar planter on the Caribbean Island of Hispaniola, he was sent an expedition to Florida under Francisco Gordillo, who, in June, 1521, landed somewhere near Cape Fear in North Carolina. Continuing to search for the Northwest passage, Ayllon came up from Hispaniola again in 1524, and tried the James River and Chesapeake Bay. He received from King Charles V, a grant of the land he had discovered, and, in 1526, founded the settlement of San Miguel de Guandape, not far from the site of the city of Jamestown, Virginia, which would be built by the English some 80 years later. De Ayllón's expedition sailed from Hispaniola to South Carolina on two ships, which included African slaves. It would be the first instance of African slave-labor within the present territory of the United States. Ayllon's settlement lasted only about three months, during which time the 600 colonists endured hunger, disease, scarcity of supplies, and troubles with the local natives. In the end, the colony failed over a fight over leadership. During this turmoil, the slaves revolted and fled the colony to live among the Cofitachequi tribe. Many of the colonists, including Lucas Vazquez de Ayllon, died of fever. Only 150 survivors made their way back to Hispaniola. Ayllon's account of the region inspired a number of later attempts by the Spanish and French governments to colonize the southeastern United States.
Vasco Nunez de Balboa (1475?-1519) – Spanish conquistador and explorer, Balboa who was the first European to see the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean in 1513 after crossing the Isthmus of Panama. Balboa was born in Jerez de los Caballeros, Spain to the nobleman, Nuño Arias de Balboa and Lady de Badajoz in about 1475. Little is known of his early childhood except that he was the third of four boys in his family. During his adolescence, he served as a page and squire to Don Pedro de Portocarrero, Lord of Moguer.
Motivated by his master, after the news of Christopher Columbus' voyages to the New World became known, he decided to embark on his first voyage to the Americas, along with Juan de la Cosa, on Rodrigo de Bastidas' expedition. Bastidas had a license to bring back treasure for the king and queen, while keeping four-fifths for himself. In 1501, he crossed the Caribbean coasts from the east of Panama, along the Colombian coast, through the Gulf of Uraba toward Cabo de la Vela. The expedition continued to explore northeast of South America, until they realized they did not have enough men and sailed to the Carribean Island of Hispaniola. In 1510, Balboa and his dog, Leoncico, stowed away on a boat going from Santo Domingo to San Sebastian. When they arrived at San Sebastian, they discovered that it had been burned to the ground. Balboa convinced the others to travel southwest with him to a spot he had seen on his earlier expedition. In 1511, Balboa founded a colony, the first European settlement in South America – the town of Santa Maria de la Antigua del Darien in present-day Panama. He soon married the daughter of Careta, the local Indian chief. Soon after, in 1513, he sailed with hundreds of Spaniards and Indians across the Gulf of Uraba to the Darien Peninsula.
Balboa and his men, including Francisco Pizarro, then traveled to the ocean, claiming it and all the that touched it for Spain. Once they reached the Pacific Ocean, Balboa and his men found gold and pearls, which Balboa decided to send back to the King Ferdinand of Spain. However, before news of Balboa's accomplishment reached Spain, King Ferdinand appointed an elderly nobleman named Pedrarias Davila to be the new governor of Darien. Once the King learned of Balboa's discovery of the Pacific Ocean, he appointed Balboa to serve under Davila as governor of Panama. Unfortunately for Balboa, Pedrarias Davila was a jealous man who did not like seeing the growing popularity and influence which Balboa was developing. In 1518, Governor Davila falsely accused Balboa of treason, had him arrested, ordered a speedy trial and sentenced Balboa to death. In January 1519, Balboa and four friends were beheaded.
Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca (1490?-1558?) – A Spanish explorer and the first historian of Texas, Cabeza de Vaca sailed to North America from Spain in and expedition led by Panfilo de Narvaez in 1527. He, and a group of some 300 men survived a hurricane near Cuba, to land on the west coast of Florida (near Tampa Bay) in April, 1528, claiming the land for Spain. Hearing from the natives that there was gold to the north, Narváez split up his men, and he and his followers began an overland expedition in May. However, the expedition was met with a series of hurricanes and violent conflicts with Native Americans, resulting in the deaths of many of the men. The difficult and distressing march northward finally landed the remaining men in the area of present-day St. Marks, Florida, near the end of July.
In the meantime, the ship captain, and the remaining men, sailed to Mexico. The some 245 stranded men hastily made five make-shift rafts on which they sailed west, hoping to reach a Spanish settlement in Mexico. The rafts drifted along the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico, passing Pensacola Bay and the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Along the way, three of the rafts sank, including the one that Narváez was riding upon, when it was suddenly blown out to sea in November, 1528. The two remaining rafts continued on, finally landing on Galveston Island. After a very cold winter with very little food, only 15 men survived. In the spring, the men traveled west by land, walking along the Colorado River. By 1533, there were only four survivors, including Cabeza de Vaca. The men were enslaved by some Indian tribes along the way, and helped by other tribes. They were the first non-natives to travel in this area of southwestern North America, and the first Europeans to see the bison, or American buffalo. During this time, he became a trader and shaman to various Native American tribes.
The four men finally reached the Spanish settlement of Culiacan in early 1536 (eight years after being stranded in Florida). Later that year they reached Mexico City, where they were welcomed by the Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza.
After returning to Spain in 1537, he wrote an account, first published in 1542, as La Relación (The Relation), which, in later editions, was re-titled Shipwrecks. In 1540, Cabeza de Vaca was appointed Adelantado, a Spanish Noble, of then present-day Argentina, where he was governor and captain general of Río de la Plata (now called Paraguay). He explored along the Paraguay River in 1542.
After a conflict with other Spanish Nobles and area settlers in 1545, he returned to Spain and never returned to the Americas. After returning to Spain he published an account of his travels, noting the appalling treatment of Indians by the Spanish. His writing encouraged many other Spanish expeditions to the Americas, including those of Hernando de Soto and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado.
He died poor in Seville, Spain in about 1558. In the end, Cabeza de Vaca has been considered notable as a proto-anthropologist for his detailed accounts of the many tribes of American Indians that he encountered.
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo (?-1543) – A Spanish or Portuguese explorer, Cabrillo was the first European to explore the Californian coast. In 1542, he sailed from Acapulco to southern California, claiming California for King Charles I of Spain. Cabrillo named San Diego Bay and Santa Barbara. He died on San Miguel Island after a fight with Indians, from complications resulting from a broken leg.

The Stepfather (2009) UR
Mom's (Sela Ward) new boyfriend, David (Dylan Walsh), isn't quite right and Michael knows it. A series of mysterious events leads the teen to suspect that David might in fact be a dangerous serial killer known for preying on families. Now, all he needs to do is gather evidence before it's too late. Nelson McCormick directs this spine-tingling remake of the 1987 thriller based on the real-life story of killer John Emil List.
HF Recommends… The Stepfather (1986) R
Sorry Dylan! I am a fan of Dylan Walsh and Sela Ward and I graduated from the same college. She graduated the year I was born. (I've been dying to work that into a post. Odd.) So it pains me to say, no to the remake. They used a big strapping male child in the reworking of the story. That little tidbit makes it too hard to believe. Fail.

The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, which is being developed by GMR on the outskirts of Hyderabad, will be the first greenfield public-private partnership (PPP) airport to be operational in March 16.
The Rs 2,478-crore (Rs 24.78 billion) project is being developed at Shamshabad by GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd (GHIAL), a joint venture between GMR, Malaysia Airports Holding Berhad, the Andhra Pradesh government and the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
The project will have a 4,620-metre Code F-stipulated runway, suitable for handling large aircraft like the Airbus A380, and a terminal covering an area of 100,000 square metres. The airport will have annual passenger handling capacity in excess of 10 million.
The airport developers have major plans to introduce 75 bus services from 15 destinations across the city.
The second such airport to come into operation will be the Bangalore International Airport near Devanahalli.
The greenfield airport, which is a joint venture between Siemens-Zurich Airport-L&T consortium, Karnataka State Investment and Industrial Development Corporation and the AAI, entails a project cost of around Rs 2,000 crore (Rs 20 billion), and is slated to handle 10 million passengers annually after the first phase is over.
The Karnataka government has proposed to set up a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to create a rail link from Bangalore to the airport in Devanahalli. The project cost is estimated to be around Rs 4,000 crore (Rs 40 billion).
In addition, Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL) is spending Rs 117 crore (Rs 1.17 billion) more to build a two-lane trumpet flyover at the intersection of the main access road to the airport and NH-7.
The Delhi airport will also have its third runway ready in the coming year. The Code F runway will increase the aircraft handling capacity, which currently stands at 40-75 per hour.
The AAI is also developing 35 airports in non-metros, including Nagpur, Udaipur, Pune and Trichy, which are slated to be completed in 2008. Twenty-four of these non-metro airports like Amritsar, Vizag, Raipur, Thiruvananthapuram, Ranchi and Udaipur are undergoing city-side development.
The first two to be taken up are Amritsar and Udaipur, which have already got bids from several real estate and infrastructure companies like GMR, Omaxe and Unitech.
Ahmedabad and Vizag will be taken up early next year. Also, in order to encourage night flights, the AAI plans to make night-landing facilities available to all the airports in the country.
The situation in the power sector in the coming year would be almost the same as 2007 with deficit in peak demand hovering around 12 per cent and above.
The electrical energy requirement is expected to grow about 8 per cent. The power ministry has set a power generation capacity addition target of 12,039 Mw (scaled down from the original target of 17,000 Mw) by March 2009, which experts feel is difficult to achieve considering that just about 5,000 Mw has been added so far. The balance of the capacity addition would spill over to the target of 2008-09, which has been fixed at 9,000 Mw.
Also, some of the projects of the 10th Plan would also be implemented next year, which would see a marginal increase in generation. However, the demand is also growing fast at about 8-9 per cent as more industries are coming up.
This would affect the power generation and the gap in demand and supply would remain at around 12 per cent, say analysts. Some states like Gujarat and Maharashtra, which have been reeling under huge power crisis, are likely to get some respite as projects get commissioned next year.
But states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar would continue with the severe shortage. The capacity addition is not expected to be substantial to dramatically improve the power scenario next year, says Shekar Reddy, a Delhi-based power expert.
The coming year, however, would be good for equipment manufacturers who would see a growth of 25-30 per cent in their business as they bag more orders for upcoming power projects, according to a Mumbai-based analyst.
"It would be a year of hope because so far the government hasn't been able to implement the policies it has announced to turn around the power sector," says N Nagarajan, CRISIL Research & Information Services.
He recommends speeding up power reforms, which have been underway for over a decade. The notable initiative taken during the 10th Plan was restructuring and unbundling of electricity boards of 14 states into separate entities for transmission, distribution and generation.
The prospects for the maritime sector seem brighter in 2008, as far PPP initiatives in the port sector are concerned.
According to the decision of the Prime Minister's Committee of Infrastructure, the 12 major ports engaged international consultants for preparing their business plans for 20 years, including an action plan for the next seven years.
This exercise forms the main part of the National Maritime Development Programme (NMDP), which had been unveiled by the government a couple of years back with the aim of inviting PPP in the sector.
All the port authorities have prepared the plans along with a consolidated National Development Plan. These plans are expected to serve as guides for the major ports in preparing their annual plans and undertaking various developmental projects in future. The year 2008 would witness the implementation of these plans.
Also, the new year would witness the implementation of the model concession agreement (MCA) for ports.
The highway sector scenario for 2008 does not promise an impressive outlook, as the Ministry for Road Transport and Highways is struggling to meet its earlier targets, even as it has been asked to focus on six-laning of existing highways and development of expressways during the coming year.
The National Highways Development Programme (NHDP), which has been moving sluggishly for the last three years, received a thrust this year when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urged the ministry to look at six-laning of highways and also develop greater number of expressways.
While the first phase of the NHDP, called the Golden Quadrilateral, which included four-laning of highways connecting the four metros, is finally over, it is the second phase called North South East West (NSEW) Corridor, which is flagging.
This phase includes four-laning of 7,300 km of highways connecting Porbandar to Silchar and Srinagar to Kanyakumari. Supposed to have been wrapped up by this December, the government has shifted its deadline to December 2008.
However, till date only 845 km or 11.5 per cent of the work has been done, and in the coming year the ministry would have to struggle hard to wrap up this phase.
With the ministry mandated to start six-laning of around 1,000 km of expressways under the sixth phase during 2008, it already has its plate full. On the brighter side though, 2008 would see some policy initiatives from the ministry, which is planning to unveil a new transport policy and road safety policy for the country.
Apart from this, there are plans to amend the Motor Vehicle Act, with the aim to facilitate speed-limit norms for private cars (currently there is no speed limit prescribed for them) and revising speed limits for commercial and heavy vehicles.
The government would also come out with a new toll policy which would prescribe toll rates for all categories of vehicles.
In 2008, the railway ministry hopes to attract more private players to its PPP bandwagon, especially in its container-train endeavour.
In 2006, it had opened the container-train segment for the private sector, which has been a monopoly of Container Corporation of India (Concor). The move allowed private logistics as well as transport and shipping firms to run their container trains. Till January 2007, 14 players had applied for licence to participate in the endeavour.
However, due to a delay by the ministry in finalising the model concession agreement, only one more player could be added. The ministry would be hoping to attract more players in the scheme in the coming year.
Apart from this, it would also like to finalise the designs and layouts submitted by around 30 private players for setting up budget hotels across the country.
These designs had been submitted in May this year by the players who had been shortlisted by the railway ministry for setting budget hotels. But their designs are still awaiting clearance from the ministry. With its PPP-friendly image being dented, sources say the ministry would be keen to start the project in 2008.
The ministry would be keen to finalise fresh alignments for the dedicated rail-freight corridor project, which it could start in the coming year.
The current alignments for the Delhi-Kolkata and Delhi-Mumbai corridors had come under a cloud as the SPV set up for implementing the project observed that if the existing alignments decided by the ministry were to be followed, then many physical structures would either have to be removed or heights of overbridges would have to be increased, and the implementation of entire project would take 10 years instead of the projected five years.

Despite production calculations and detailed expansion strategies, the drivers of growth can still be out of the hands of business leaders. Without accurate market forecasting (or perhaps a crystal ball), external factors are hard to accommodate in business plans, especially when there are unpredictable changes in the economy, new competitors enter the market or the latest technologies alter how customers use your products.
Perhaps it is no surprise that recent research from Aberdeen Group shows that 'managing growth expectations' is the number one challenge facing manufacturers today.1 This is certainly true for oil and gas businesses attempting to respond to the current price drops. Margins have been left weak and OPEC – the world's oil cartel – has even had to abandon production targets for the first time in its history.
Likewise, manufacturers in China started to run into growth problems at the end of 2015, when the country's vast manufacturing sector hit a three-year low. The sector is now struggling to gain momentum amidst a slowing economy and manufacturers are left wondering how to react to the lower demand for Chinese produced goods.
Growing a business in a market that is being disrupted by external factors is never going to be simple. But it is possible. Start by putting systems in place that will help your business to be 1) more alert to external factors and 2) able to react to these factors where necessary.
Make the most of the latest analytic technologies to monitor external data faster. Use this information to establish patterns in customer and competitor behavior, trends or even in oil prices or economic changes. Armed with this information, it becomes possible to detect trends and, importantly, spot anomalies.
If there's a marked change in consumer or competitor behavior, your business needs to be able to react. Integrate your enterprise resource planning (ERP) system with business processes up and down your supply chain. This will give you the agility and flexibility to change course and action mid-plan, implement new designs that meet consumer demands or switch your focus to new emerging markets instead of old, failing ones.
With the latest ERP technology at your fingertips, combined with an agile attitude, it is possible for businesses to constantly adapt to new market conditions. You might not be able to predict the future but with these processes in place, you can certainly react quickly when the time comes.

Charlie Sheen Tries to Apologize for Idiocy, Racismby Mischalova at . Comments
This is classic.
In response to his racist rant that was directed to ex-wife Denise Richards and released yesterday, Charlie Sheen has attempted to apologize.
The Two and a Half Men star said in a statement yesterday that he's so sorry to all African-Americans for his unfortunate word selection:
"I deeply apologize by my choice of words to all I have obviously offended; especially to Tony Todd, an African-American, who was my best man at my first two weddings."
See, people? Charlie Sheen has a close, black friend. He can't be a racist!
Charlie Sheen points to where his brain is supposed to go.
The actor, of course, had to get in a shot at Richards immediately following this lame excuse for contrition. He explained the basis for the angry voicemail:
"Three and one-half years later, the reasons that caused the anger and frustration displayed on that voice mail continue to be manifested on a daily basis" because "my children did not show up today for a custodial visit without explanation."
Denise Richards may act offended by these actions, but we know what she's really thinking: reality TV show ratings!
Seriously, how are these two not together? They're perfect for each other.

My Thankful List by Jean Ann Williams
I'm thankful for my Lord and Savior Who drew me from the pit of suicide loss and remolded me to need Him for everything.
I love my husband of forty-six years, and who I've known since I was eleven when he took me on motorcycle rides with me sitting on the tank of the bike. And, yes, after we married, we rode together on his motorcycle for over thirty years.
I adore my thirteen grandchildren of age's twenty-two to three, and my three children, of which two are still here on Earth.
The friends who did not leave after my son, Joshua's, death by suicide, I'm so very grateful to them. And to the acquaintances who drew closer because of my loss.
Does being thankful for God's beauty on Earth count? Yes, I love the mountains surrounding our tiny valley. The fox sparrows when they sing. They seem to sing at the perfect moments when I'm struggling with difficult people and or with my own sins. Fox sparrows in our part of the country are rare, and I don't take them for granted.
My health is something I'm thankful for, since I've been ill for over five years. Two years ago, I even prayed for the Lord to take away some of my old injuries pain. He did. Right away. And I'm grateful. I had struggled with intense pain in both shoulders and my neck from a long ago car accident. After I began praying for God to heal me from some of my pain, I fell one evening outside with palms down and my neck jolted forward and backward. Even though I was extra sore the following morning, by the evening my neck and shoulder pain disappeared and has never returned as a constant pain.
God's free adjustment and it cost me to only trust Him and to understand it had to come as His perfect will.
I'm thankful my two remaining children are in good health and they are still here and not gone to the Great Beyond like their brother. But, God taught me to not place anyone, including my children, above Him. This is a gift of extreme relief and abiding in Him.
My thankful list would not be complete without my acknowledgement of God's Word. I'm grateful for the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for my sins, and I look forward to Heaven with Him.

Galactic Boutique
- Location: Seattle, WA
- Website: galacticboutique.com
Galactic Boutique sits in a little strip of shops on Pine street in Seattle, arching steeply over I-5. The sandwich board out front reads "Sexy Home Accessories," and visitors should prepare for same — of the Barbarella variety.
The store is done up in sleek white, with the pinks and purples and metallics of the merchandise lending a fun, candy-coated space age-y feel to the shopping experience. Home accessories include pillows, candles, stemware and cups, but depth is provided by the selection of local artwork on display and for sale.
The paintings of hot guys and ladies that line the top of walls let us know that this place takes sexy seriously, despite the playfulness of the merchandise, like velvet Jesus statue piggy banks and disco balls.
There's also the ubiquitous Asian flare, done well with paper crane wall decals and pillows. In addition to displaying local artwork throughout the store, the boutique also has a dedicated gallery space at the back.

Pre-race routine:
Sushi for dinner then packed up my gear and loaded my truck.
Event warmup:
This event has a staggered check-in and start time based on your race number. My number was 772 so check-in time was 11am! So I slept in, had a leisurely breakfast (bagel), then drove across town to the event site. Once checked in and transition was set up I got in line at the pool to await my start time.
Swim felt pretty good, especially once I got into the groove of the short laps
Transition 1
New socks were not easy to get onto my wet feet, even with them rolled half-way. Once I got going, the new socks felt great so it was worth the hassle. I forgot to reset my bike computer before the event, so I had to pause for a moment at the mount line to reset it.
What would you do differently?:
Roll the socks better, reset my cycle computer.
Riding my hybrid bike my average speed on flats is in the 15-18 mph range. I was targeting 1 hour for the bike and knew that the rolling hills would challenge that. On the flats and downhills I pushed myself a little harder than I usually do and took each hill in stride. As I neared the finish of the bike I looked at my watch and saw I had only a few minutes to make my target time. The last half-mile was mostly flat / slight downhill so I kicked it in gear and pushed to the finish and hit my target.
Transition 2
Took me a moment to find my rack, the last push at the end of the bike had my adrenaline spiked.
What would you do differently?:
Make a better mental note of what rack number I was on.
I've been practicing this run for the last few months so I knew what to expect. My legs got into "run mode" fairly well thanks to weekly brick workouts. As I ran up the big hill each time I saw a motivational message chalked into the sidewalk that said "think I can" I would say to myself "KNOW I can". Once over the top I knew it was all down hill from there and cruised down to the finish line with a smile on my face.
What would you do differently?:
Not much, the run went really well and my pace was faster than my training runs.
Post race
Warm down:
Cold water in and on my head, stretched legs, then went and got my favorite post-race beer: Racer 5 IPA.
What limited your ability to perform faster:
Physically I felt pretty good. Improving my fit in all three categories will help . The big improvement will be upgrading from my hybrid bike to a road/tri bike.
Event comments:
This is the longest sprint of my season this year with it's 15 mile bike route. The long staggered start time was odd to me but worked well with the number of participants. Fortunately most of my run training is during my lunch break so my late start time didn't impact my performance much as I'm used to running in the mid-day heat. For the most part the volunteers were great and the overall vibe of the event was laid back and enjoyable.

Ex-Ardoyne priest Fr Aidan Troy does a U-turn over call to let Orangemen parade
The Catholic priest who rose to prominence during the Holy Cross dispute has backtracked on his support for a controversial Orange Order parade past Ardoyne to go ahead.
Fr Aidan Troy had said the offer of a goodwill gesture by the Catholic community in north Belfast, where he once ministered, would offer a message of peace to other communities in strife around the world.
Fr Troy, who is now based in Paris, made his plea on his blog as he commented on the Gaza conflict in the Middle East.
But the Passionist priest yesterday distanced himself from his earlier proposal, and removed it from the blog. He said his article about Gaza had "had a far greater response than I expected".
"I appreciate the many positive and supportive reactions. Others were upset by the question I raised about a possible response in north Belfast," the priest from Co Wicklow added.
"I am freely editing out the question on a possible response in north Belfast lest what I raised could distract from sincere efforts being made by people in the area.
"The present 72-hour ceasefire will give some relief. My prayer is that this will extend into a long-term peace. Thanks to all who responded to my personal comments."
Fr Troy was at the centre of international attention during the 2001-02 Holy Cross Primary School protests when Catholic children were subjected to a daily gauntlet of abusive and often violent protest by protesting loyalists.
This year's parade past Ardoyne was restricted by the Parades Commission, but the Twelfth passed peacefully. Last year there was major loyalist violence, while republicans rioted in previous years when the march was allowed.
Let Orange Order finish Ardoyne parade: Holy Cross priest Aidan Troy

When television producers need satisfied, gratified faces to feature in commercials about pills for relief of pain and discomfort, they should start with the visages of Drew Gooden and Roy Williams on Wednesday night. They were classic.
And later in the evening, the mug of Kareem Rush would have met similar standards.
The first three choices in the National Basketball Assn. draft had been made; a No. 4 spot pretty well guaranteeing somebody around $7.5 million over a three-year period was on the line. Projections were for Gooden of Kansas going to the Memphis Grizzlies.
But with foreigners, no-college wannabes and the trademeisters in the mix, there is no certainty of anything. Big money is involved. You go later than No. 5 in the process and salary guarantee drops below the $2 million-plus level; before long you surrender $500,000 or more per year.
When the form chart held up and Drew got the Grizzly Bear hug, his face erupted in delight and so did that of the well-tanned coach Williams watching in Lawrence with a batch of happy court campers.
Sure, there was pleasure for the heralded player and his coach. But there was also massive relief that the horses were in the barn with the gate locked and no prospects of a costly stampede. It was too bad that doggoned weather alert blanked out most of the Gooden interview. But Drew talks enough (sometimes too damned much), so we'll get his views time and time again to the point of overkill and boredom. After so many tape replays, enough!
Williams had done a lot of legwork on Drew's chances in the draft and had told him he'd go pretty high, maybe No. 3 and probably no worse than 5. Pretty sure of the process, Gooden decided to leave before his senior season and trust the winds of chance.
Paul Pierce is still whining about the fact he didn't go higher than No. 10 in the draft after his junior season here even though he's wound up in clover. Does that indicate he felt he got bad advice from coach Roy or was it just circumstance?
Along comes Gooden and the exploratory process. Both he and Williams had to be a little goosey that all those factors which can change so fast might create another Pierce Pout.
Little wonder their faces flashed a lot more than joy when Memphis, with legendary general manager Jerry West in control, came through. The higher the pick, the better the guarantee. Even in the obscene realm of overpaid athletes, $500,000 here and $500,000 there and pretty soon you're talking sizable money.
But while the suspense was over for Gooden and Williams, it was building for Missouri's Kareem Rush like that gathering storm here Thursday night. Rush and coach Quin Snyder, a TV booth flop, figured the Tiger junior would be a No. 10 or better. Rush had high hopes.
Things got worse by the minute, but finally Kareem got nabbed at No. 20 by the Toronto Raptors. He and his entourage had to act happy, but it was a blow. No. 20, Toronto, about $875,000 a year instead of the $1.4 million a No. 10 selection would have created?
But talk about a kid who stumbled into the septic tank and came out looking like Mr. Clean covered with Right Guard and roses, man, Rush lucked out. He later was traded from a questionable franchise to the world champion Los Angeles Lakers. If he makes the roster, he can grow as a support person rather than having to deliver or die with the Raptors.
What happened to KU's Pierce and Missouri's Rush is the very thing that Gooden and Williams were secretly dreading as they waited for the pieces to fall into place. The NBA, its draft uncertainties and the way teams swap players create such a convoluted scenario it's no wonder fans grow sour.
Stabilized rosters like those of the Boston Celtic dynasty in the 1950s and 1960s, the Lakers when they had Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor and Jerry West and the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan, Scotty Pippin and that scurvy rebounding monster are finito. You have to be a whale of an aficionado or blindly loyal to buy season tickets, knowing the team you expect to show up may not.
Barring some surprises, Gooden joins a promising Memphis club that also has the brilliant Pau Gasol, pure gold Shane Battier, newcomer Wesley Person, stable center Lorenzen Wright and perhaps backup help from rookie Robert Archibald (I still cringe at how he kept bedeviling Kansas).
Lots of inside potential. Question is, can erratic Jason Williams (from Sacramento via Florida U.) stay out of trouble and become dependable as a point guard  rather than being all-world one play, rotten sausage the next? Coach Sidney Lowe and GM West will give him a chance. Stanford's Brevin Knight might help, but Lowe and West will be looking.
Then there is the rumor that West is trying to wangle a trade with Golden State for 6-9 Mike Dunleavy, who went a notch ahead of Gooden in the draft. What an addition that could be!
Gooden has a lot to learn and needs vast improvement in categories such as ball-handling, shooting more quickly and covering the agile mastodons he'll meet in the NBA. But he has the tools, the will to succeed and can make a living as a backboard gyrator, especially on offense.
Drew deserves the best, despite his silly blurt about Kansas. Let's hope he has a rookie-of-the-year performance  and that the Kansas team he left becomes even a stronger NCAA title prospect now that the spotlight will be more on team performance rather than shining too much on the Will-He-or-Won't-He Gooden.

Professional Profile
My career has focused on the inclusion and integrity issues in sport, particularly in relation to people with disability. I am strategic yet outcome focused.

NBC will "pre-empt its Sunday morning staples 'Today' and 'Meet the Press' this May to show the Monaco Grand Prix live" on May 26 at 7:30am ET, according to Tripp Mickle of SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL. The telecast "marks the first time the famed race will be aired live on U.S. broadcast TV." NBC Sports Group President of Programming Jon Miller said, "Monaco captures what Formula One is. It's got the glamour and the celebrities." Mickle noted the Monaco Grand Prix will be the "first of four F1 races that air live on NBC this year." The other three -- Montreal on June 9; Austin on Nov. 17; and Brazil on Nov. 24 -- "give F1 unprecedented network coverage in the U.S." Another 13 races will "air on NBC Sports Network and two races will air on CNBC because of a scheduling conflict" with the Tour de France on NBC Sports Net. The net's sales team "signed a deal with Rolex that makes the watch company the presenting sponsor of all of its F1 coverage." It also "picked up advertising commitments from ExxonMobil, Mercedes-Benz, Pirelli, John Deere and other companies." Miller said, "We've gotten tremendous sponsor and advertising support before we've even broadcast one race." Mickle noted NBC Sports "plans to block off three hours of coverage for every F1 race" (SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, 3/11 issue). NBC is billing its broadcast as "Mimosas from Monaco" (USA TODAY, 3/11).
German public broadcaster ZDF "continues to record strong ratings with its winter sports broadcast," according to Alexander Krei of DWDL. A total of 4.48 million viewers tuned in to watch the women's biathlon relay race on Sunday. The race received a 22.9% market share. Before the women's race, the men's relay race attracted 4.26 million viewers, which translated into a 25.4% share. On Saturday, the biathlon races recorded a market share of up to 26.6% (DWDL, 3/11).

The screams of a woman brought 4 Good Samaritans to her aid last Thursday in downtown Cincinnati. The woman, an attorney whose identity is being protected, screamed that someone had taken her purse. She had been walking westbound along E. Seventh Street at about 11 a.m. A man came up from behind and grabbed her purse which he detached from a pull-behind briefcase.The man took off in a southbound direction on Ruth Lyons Alley, a busy area that connects Sixth and Seventh streets. He was spotted with the handbag as he ran by David Ginsberg, the head of Cincinnati Downtown, Inc. Ginsberg was on his way to an appointment when he heard the commotion and spotted the suspect.
He heard the woman saying 'stop him, stop him, he stole my purse.' Another man acted without hesitation and =gave chase, tackling the suspect to the ground. Ginsberg had also been chasing the man. When he reached him, he got on top of the man, Shane Wilkins, 35 and beckoned 2 other men to help.
Together, the 4 men held the 5-foot, 11-inch and 150 pound Wilkins at bay until the Cincinnati police and the Hamilton County Sheriff's deputies arrived on the scene. The suspect was then handcuffed and taken into custody.
All of the victim's belongings were recovered intact, including $500 in cash, several credit cards and other papers.
Though Ginsberg and the others knew they were putting themselves at risk, they believed it was the right thing to do. Ginsberg said he knew since there were enough of them to control the man, they could keep his hands on the ground and nothing dangerous could happen.
Wilkins was arraigned Friday and in spite of his attorney arguing for a misdemeanor charge on the basis of the amount of cash involved, the judge ruled it a felony because of the credit cards. Bail was set at $50,000.

So I was browsing the web and I came across an article discussing a "relationship" between drinking cow's milk and MS. This whole study sounds like it was funded by vegans/vegetarians. On a plus side your eating of cheese, butter, and yogurt is fine.
On a personal note I probably drink 32 ounces (.95 liters) of 2% milk most mornings. In fact if we had whole milk I would choose that, but Eriksgirl picks up the milk. 😉 I do not see any adverse affects from my milk drinking and find it to be a quick tasty breakfast.
When I get called in by a market research group it is usually to talk about MS in some specific context, but a few weeks ago I was called in to discuss our family's milk purchasing habits. It reality though the study was about a drink I deemed it like Yoo-hoo which isn't 100% milk but they said is better than milk and taste just like it. I told them to put Yoo-hoo on my cereal it would need to be significantly cheaper because I am too used to regular milk. Then a couple days after the study Eriksgirl points me to a story about Coke going into the "dairy" business, but their "Milk" will cost twice as much. I am not a fan of skim milk but I am sure I will probably give it a try for fun. Maybe Coke can make their Milk beverage MS friendly. 🙂

There is no denying Kyle Busch's ability when it comes to the 1.5-mile Lone-Star-State Track of Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) in Fort Worth. Across 36 career starts in all three of NASCAR's premier racing series, Busch has recorded seven wins, 20 top-five finishes, 22 top-10 finishes and two poles. This week he'll visit the appropriately referenced "No Limits" intermediate track, with one goal in mind, to visit victory lane with Toyota and his own No. 54 Monster Energy team.
In 2011, Busch had another opportunity to finish well until an on-track incident took away his ability to finish the race. Now the young team owner-driver looks forward to returning in 2012, to continue his winning streak. Across Nationwide Series drivers, Busch has recorded the fastest race laps and maintains the most amount of laps led in series competition at this venue. Will 2012 be the year the all-time winningest driver in the Nationwide Series resumes his winning streak and masters the Lone-Star-State track as an owner and a driver? If records are any indication, history is likely to repeat itself.
Kyle Busch, Driver of the No. 54 NASCAR Nationwide Series Monster Energy Camry:
You have a strong record here in the Nationwide Series, what is it about Texas that you enjoy? " It's a fast race track. I enjoy the speed here and especially in the Nationwide Series I feel like I've done a good job getting the car handling right. Those wins over a couple of years here were definitely a confidence booster. But setting up the car so that it has the right amount of grip is going to be important. They tend to have long green flag runs here, so track position will be key. Hopefully our qualifying effort will put us up front and we can stay there."
Mike Beam, Crew Chief of the No. 54 NASCAR Nationwide Series Monster Energy Camry: You didn't have the chance to finish the Texas event the way you wanted to, fighting engine issues in the spring. This week you return with an improved chassis and your team owner behind the wheel. What are your expectations?
"We ran well with this car the last race at Chicagoland (Ill.) and had a chance to win with it. We have worked on this car since Chicago, after some wind tunnel development test time. It should perform well. We have come a long way since our first Texas race and hopefully we can win this time for Kyle, Toyota and Monster Energy. For all of their support, they deserve to win. We will do everything in our power to deliver that to them."
Kyle Busch's No. 54 Monster Energy Camry: Chassis KBM-008: KBM will unload car #008, raced at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth with Kurt Busch, who endured engine problems and finished in the 30th position. The Camry had its second start of the year at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway in May, with Kyle Busch, who started 12th and brought home a third-place finish. Over the summer, chassis #008 competed at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, again with the elder Busch, then at Chicagoland (Ill.) Speedway with team owner Kyle Busch, both producing second-place finishes. The backup machine is Chassis KBM-003, raced five times this year with three top-five finishes recorded.

Last week I received a package from Tortilla Land. It came at 9am in the morning. By 9:15, my kids were eating the best cheese quesadillas they ever had! I was sent a box of three large packages of tortillas along with some recipes that can also be found on their website by clicking HERE.
I was sent enough to have some extra to share. But did I? No. This time I was a very bad neighbor. My family would not let me part with a single tortilla. Tortilla Land's motto is "So fresh, they haven't been made yet". This is the truth. These are uncooked tortillas that only take a minute to cook up. I did mine in a cast iron skillet and watched the flaky tortillas puff up perfectly. We kept making more and more until there were none left. These are perfect for a holiday barbecue as you can also cook them right on your grill. They need to be cooked 30 seconds on each side and this is what they look like.
Since seafood and tortillas are a favorite of mine, I made some shrimp fajitas for dinner the other night. The kids have been eating cheese quesadillas for lunch every day and we needed a change.
I marinated up some shrimp, popped them on the grill for a few minutes and served them with fresh Tortilla Land tortillas, guacamole, salsa, tomatoes, sour cream and cheddar cheese. What could be easier and fresher than that? I'm telling you, BUY some of these tortillas and you won't be disappointed! ****
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
the juice and zest from one lime
1 TBS olive oil
1 tsp chipotle powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for one hour. Put shrimp on a grill pan in a single layer on a hot grill. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink while turning constantly.
*****For full disclosure, I was provided with free tortillas. The opinions are my own and I was not compensated to write this post.

Texas ranks first nationally in attracting private-equity investment, according to analysis by a group that supports the industry.
The Private Equity Growth Capital Council today reported that private-equity firms invested an estimated $20.5 billion in Texas-based companies last year.
New York was second, attracting $18.6 billion, followed by California, with $15.7 billion.
From 2002 to 2011, private-equity firms have invested an estimated $246.9 billion in Texas-based companies.
The study also found that nearly 1,500 Texas companies, supporting 535,800 workers in and outside the state, have received private-equity backing.
The PEGCC released analysis of the private-equity investments of 75 the largest state pension plans in the U.S. Those plans managed more than $2.4 trillion in assets and represent nearly 17.8 million active and retired beneficiaries.
It found that Teacher Retirement System of Texas' 10-year return on private-equity investment was 13.1 percent. Only the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Employees' Retirement System, with a 13.6 percent return, was higher.
The PEGCC has posted online an interactive map that aggregates state-by-state information about large public pension plans and their investments in private equity.
Private-equity firms, such as Bain Capital, Mitt Romney's former firm, have come under scrutiny, accused by critics of stripping companies of their assets, saddling them with debt and laying off workers. The PEGCC counters that private-equity adds value to portfolio companies.
