Its no secret that pregnancy can wreck havoc to the emotional and physical well-being of any confident, healthy woman. But what about dads? Many times too much pressure is put on dads and we expect them to be someone they just cant be. Dads should be able to be involved during pregnancy and labor in a way that feels comfortable to them. In trying to find out just what that might mean for the dad in your life, consider the following suggestions.
Keep him informed with how you physically feel. Now this doesnt mean you have to dwell on the fact that your heartburn is so bad you have to sleep sitting straight up every night. Or that your swollen feet are completely unrecognizable by the end of the day. But dad does have a major concern for your health, and for the baby youre carrying. When he asks you how you feel, tell him honestly. Sometimes its easier to share your anecdotes with other women who can relate to what youre going through. Girl talk can be helpful, but dont let dad feel rejected by keeping your physical complaints from him.
Share your emotions. True, dads might not be as emotional as moms. And chances are they will never be able to fully understand how we can go from crying over a television commercial to laughing at ourselves in a matter of minutes. But dads have feelings too. The two of you need to know how each other feels about how your life together is changing. Is either of you concerned about how childbirth might change your sex life, or what financial strains you might be under in the future? Now is the time to be open with each other. Go away for a quiet, reflective weekend together. If that isnt possible, have your meaningful weekend at home. Unplug the phone, close your curtains and dont answer the door. Take the time to get real with each other before baby comes along.
Talk about labor. What do the two of you think labor will be like? How would you like him to help you during labor? Share your thoughts with him. What does he think he will feel comfortable doing during labor? Will he be the strong, physically supportive type, or would he rather sit quietly on the sidelines and have someone else, such as a doula, take on a more active role? Does he already know he doesnt want to see the actual birth, but would rather be by your head and greet the baby with you? There are no right or wrong answers. Take some time now to discuss these matters and plan accordingly. By accepting dad for who he is, you will help a big part of labor be more pleasant for everyone involved.
Give him the facts. Encourage dad to attend your prenatal appointments with you and to ask any questions he might have. If he is unable or not interested in accompanying you to your doctor or midwifes office, its not the end of the world. Just be sure to summarize each visit for him afterwards. Granted, not much happens at many of the routine appointments, but just by letting him know your blood pressure and weight gain, he will feel included. Do some research to find what types of childbirth preparation classes are offered in your area. Tell him that such classes are much more than lying on the floor, breathing in front of strangers. Find one the two of you would enjoy attending together so that you both can be better informed on the many birthing options you have available to you.
Devise a plan for labor. Once the two of you have learned in your childbirth preparation class all of the benefits and risks of many common interventions and procedures, the two of you need to discuss which options sound good to you. What procedures do you strongly want to avoid? Which ones would you be in favor of? Dad needs to know where you stand on these issues because once you are in the throes of labor, he might very well become your spokesperson. Consider writing a birth plan together. Seeing your wishes clearly written in black and white could be beneficial to both of you, especially if labor ends up being not at all like you expected it to be.
Pregnancy can be an emotional nightmare, or it can be an enlightening era of self-discovery. Theres no better time to open those lines of communication than during pregnancy. Once the difficulties of parenting begin, youll be glad you did.

My inspiration for the clothes I design is a strong dominant woman; a powerful and knowledgeable woman that doesn't fear the combination of strength and femininity. Her look is feminine and precise; she is a woman looking for convenience and chic. I define the style as a "tailored urban casual style". Eggplant violet is a rich, sensual, noble color. In the Roman Empire days, violet clothing was preserved for the upper class. I used two shades of violet in this blouse for emphasis and interest. The dominant shade is dark eggplant violet. The light violet shade is in the sleeve cuffs, the collar and the hidden buttoning. The fabrics are batiste cotton, soft and of high quality.
The 'Boucle' skirt design has a straight shape with two front pockets. To highlight the pockets I added a thin tattered stripe from the fabric's end, creating a thread texture. Boucle is a type of tweed, a woolen cloth of various mixtures, but a very 'extreme' one, made from wool thread woven in rounded loops, creating a rich texture.
Model Blouse: Violet
Model Skirt: Boucle

There are many dog training collars utilized in dog training. Some professional trainers advocate one sort of collar in support of use that kind of collar for training dogs, while other trainers state that kind of collar should not supply in dog training. Obviously, each dog trainer uses their very own approach to dog training, and also the kind of dog collar they will use reflects the dog training method they will use. This information is concerning the various dog training collars, their proper use, and perhaps, the way they are properly put on the dog.
The Slip (aka Choke) Collar
The Slip Collar, also called a Choke Collar, is really a period of chain, nylon rope, or any other fabric, with rings on ends. When the collar is created from chain, it's known as a "choke chain". By pushing the chain or fabric through among the rings, a loop could be formed which may be put within the dog's head and round his neck. That leaves another ring free for attaching the leash.
Putting the Slip Collar on the dog With many training, specifically dog obedience training, your dog is generally on the left side from the trainer/handler. To place the collar on the dog correctly, using the dog in your left, negligence the collar attached to the free ring is going within the dog's neck. To check on the collar is on correctly, you are able to pull on the free ring to tighten the collar, then release it. The collar ought to be loose. When the collar isn't on the dog correctly, despite you release the free ring, he collar will remain snugly round the dog's neck. Once the collar is placed on properly and it is snug round the dog's neck the free ring ought to be about 11/2" to 3" in the dog's neck.
Proper technique Slip Collar When training using the Slip Collar, the collar ought to be just behind the dog's ears. The slip collar isn't for pulling or choking your dog. It's to provide your dog a correction, as it's needed. The correction is offered by making use of a clear, crisp jerk towards the leash. Which means that you quickly pull on the leash to tighten the collar, then immediately release pressure so the collar is loose. The effectiveness of the jerk ought to be sufficient to find the dog's attention and it is a purpose of the dimensions, build and temperament from the dog. Obviously the effectiveness of a correction for any Beagle will be a lot diverse from one for any German Shepard.
The Martingale Collar
The Martingale Collar is sort of a slip collar for the reason that it tightens once the leash is pulled. The large difference is it are only able to tighten a specific amount in order that it won't choke your dog. It includes a period of fabric having a ring on ends. A brief bit of fabric or chain experiences both rings and it has both its ends attached to one ring, that the leash could be attached. Once the leash is pulled, the collar tightens to in which the two rings touch one another. We have an adjustment so the tightest it may get is simply snug round the dog's neck. Since the Martingale Collar is generally wider compared to Slip Collar, it spreads pressure on the dog's neck and prevents the collar from getting tangled within the dog's fur.
Putting the Martingale Collar on the dog The Martingale collar, after it's properly adjusted, is simply slipped within the dog's head and ears. A number of them possess a quick release buckles you can use, particularly if the dog 's head is a lot bigger than its neck.
Proper technique Martingale Collar The Martingale Collar can be used in the same manner as the Slip Collar. It's more gentle compared to Slip Collar within the discomfort it provides the dogs, but could be just like effective. Since the Martingale Collar can't choke your dog, you can use it being an everyday collar in addition to a dog collar.
The Prong (aka Pinch) Collar
The Prong Collar, also called a Pinch Collar, is made to simulate how a mother dog disciplines the puppies by pinching your skin on the neck. The prongs from the collar are not shipped to puncture your skin. Some Prong Collars have rubber or plastic tips that may be put on the ends from the prongs. The collar consists of interlocking prongs that form a circle round the dog's neck having a short bit of chain mounted on it exactly the same as with the Martingale Collar. This way, the collar are only able to be tightened so the prongs pinch, such as the penetrate your skin. The dimensions is adjusted with the addition of or removing prongs.
Putting the Prong Collar on the dog The Prong Collar is slipped within the dog's head and ears exactly the same way as the Martingale Collar is. Some Prong Collars possess a latch on the short bit of chain which makes it simpler to put on the dog.
The proper technique Prong Collar It is necessary the Prong Collar is the right size for that dog. You ought to be in a position to place the tip of the little finger between your end from the prong and also the dog's skin once the collar is loose. The Prong Collar looks worse than. It provides the dog another sensation compared to Slip or Martingale Collars. It does not really near the coast on the dog's neck around it pinches the dog's skin. Just like the Slip Collar, the effectiveness of the jerk ought to be sufficient to find the dog's attention.
The Head Collar
The Head Collar is generally made from nylon and it has two basic parts. One circles the dog's neck and also the other is really a noseband that circles his muzzle. It's utilized by trainers who advocate positive training techniques instead of corrective training techniques. The collar controls the dog's head but doesn't restrict the dog's capability to pant, drink or grab objects using its mouth. There are three main Head Collar brands: Halti, Gentle Leader, and Control Ease. Although each is made little differently, all of them work exactly the same way.
Putting the top Collar on the dog The part that circles the dog's neck is correctly adjusted and set on first. The noseband will be set up round the dog's muzzle. Some dogs can't stand this kind of collar and fuss and then try to remove it. For the reason that situation, dog needs to get adjusted towards the collar in small steps with a lot of reinforcement (treats and praise). Your dog needs to be rewarded to permit the collar to become placed on him.
The proper technique Head Collar Unlike while using Slip or Prong Collars, the top Collar isn't jerked. Some veterinarians state that a clear, crisp jerk on the Head Collar can injure the dog's neck. Your dog is guided in to the correct position with a gentle pull on the leash. The concept behind the appearance of the collar is the fact that wherever the top goes, the body follows. Using the noseband round the dog's muzzle, the handler/trainer provides extensive leverage on the dog's head and need much strength to manage your dog. This kind of collar can be used more for controlling your dog and teaching him just to walk on the loose leash compared to basic dog obedience training.
The latter training collars aren't usually employed for basic dog obedience training but they are included for completeness.
The Training Harness
The Training Harness may be the latest device created for dog training. It's a basic harness by having an attachment to some collar. It's combined with a leash which has a snap on ends, with one end attached to the harness ring located on the dog's back, and also the other attached to the ring on the strap that circles the dog's chest. It's produced by exactly the same companies which make the top Collars. Although it's known as an exercise collar, its main objective would be to teach your dog just to walk on the loose leash. When the dog walks having a loose leash, you can use it as only a walking harness utilizing a normal one-snap leash.
The E-Collars
E-Collars or Electronic Collars contain a collar which has a radio receiver mounted on it. It's produced in such a manner that, when it receives an indication in the transmitter, it provides the dog a little electric shock, similar to you receive from static electricity. It startles your dog instead of hurts your dog. It's used once the dog has been trained with no leash and from the distance. It's not used for basic dog obedience training, but could assist in off leash work. The effectiveness of the shock can be adjusted is bigger and kind of dog it's utilized on. The transmitter is really a handheld device that may adjust the effectiveness of the shock and it has a control button that's pushed to manage the shock. It's a lot more expensive than the other training collars.

Water. It intrigues me like no other topic that we work on here at DHM Research.
When we ask people in surveys what they value about living in the Northwest, access to rivers, lakes, and oceans are near the top of the list. And when we ask the public about the environment, water quality is typically the number one concern. Yet, I know from many qualitative studies, when we sit down and talk to average folks about their local water supply, they often know little or nothing about it. It varies from community to community, but high percentages of people cannot even name the source of their drinking water, let alone describe what happens to it after it goes down the drain. It is this combination of absolute necessity, high perceived value, but lack of knowledge that fascinates me as a public opinion researcher.
It is easy to bemoan the fact that the public is unaware of basics of their water supply, but in a very real way, it represents a staggering achievement. In the course of human history, it is only in the last few moments that securing a daily supply of clean water hasn't been a central focus of everyday life (at least, in the developed world). Because we don't have to worry about where our next drink of water will come from, our time, labor and resources can be dedicated to other pursuits.
On the other hand, because we have been so successful at providing clean water, we have largely taken for granted that the supply is inexhaustible and the infrastructure to deliver it will never fail. This causes challenges for policy makers who need public support to make investments in maintaining and replacing aging water systems. When I lead focus groups about community water, people are frequently in disbelief that their water infrastructure may need any improvements. From their perspective, they are already receiving high quality water, reliably, and at a good price. Therefore, they see little need to invest in modernizing or replacing what they have, especially when they are unlikely to notice any immediate improvements in quality, safety, reliability or cost. Yet, many communities do have serious deficiencies, such that in 2009 the American Society of Civil Engineers gave the nation's drinking water and wastewater infrastructure D- minus grades.
To raise public conscience about water, we have found that it is valuable for providers to develop communication strategies that connect water to other important values, especially public health, environmental protection, and economic development. It is also beneficial to regularly communicate what is being done to maintain the existing infrastructure and the value the public receives from those investments.
To learn more about the public's perceptions about water quality, I encourage you tune into EarthFix, which is a collaboration among public broadcasters in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. DHM Research recently conducted a survey for EarthFix about water quality, which they will be reporting on over the next several weeks.

Full Text: Emperor Akihito's Remarks at World War II Ceremony
Emperor Akihito spoke Saturday at the annual ceremony marking the day when World War II ended. Here is the full text of his remarks as provided and translated by the Japanese government.
Address by His Majesty the Emperor on the Occasion of the Memorial Ceremony for the War Dead (August 15, 2015)
On this Day to Commemorate the War Dead and Pray for Peace, my thoughts are with the people who lost their precious lives in the last war and their bereaved families, as I attend this Memorial Ceremony with a deep and renewed sense of sorrow.
Seventy years have passed since the end of the war, and our country today enjoys peace and prosperity, thanks to the ceaseless efforts made by the people of Japan towards recovery from the devastation of the war and towards development, always backed by their earnest desire for the continuation of peace. When I look back on the arduous and sincere steps taken by the people in the course of this long postwar period, I cannot help but be overcome with deep emotion.
Reflecting on our past and bearing in mind the feelings of deep remorse over the last war, I earnestly hope that the ravages of war will never be repeated. Together with all of our people, I now pay my heartfelt tribute to all those who lost their lives in the war, both on the battlefields and elsewhere, and pray for world peace and for the continuing development of our country.

Amazonian breeze in the steel jungle.
Oh my lord this worm was delicious
Hard to chew on, originally, the hardest part was having it in my mouth while posing for the picture. Albeit it was fried, I'll probably never be brave enough to ingest a gelatinous, living grub for pleasure. But I'm okay with that.
After a few hardworking days, punching in the card, working like a dog, your boyfriend's paycheck comes in. Once he starts to pick up the hints, we go off to eat spectacular food in some shady market with colorful characters in the border of Surco & Barranco. Like the old humita vendor who keeps his star product warm so that when bought, are soft and strewn with tender queso fresco; alongside old favorites, such as the restaurant I was delighted to come across.
Brisas de Ucayali it was called. I was taken back by the large "batán" something of a grinding mechanism made of wood resembling a mortar & pestle, the grubs known as "zuri", and the long line of people waiting to make a to-go order, while the lucky few were able to grab one of the 12 chairs along the border of the food stall. The fame of the establishment was so prosperous, that they even made enough to make another restaurant across the street. But the difference is well known, that the best food is served right in front of you, where you can take full advantage of all the aromas the dish has to offer. We began by ordering a tacacho w/ cecina and an Amazonian chorizo. Tacacho is basically a balance between fried mature and immature plantains, formed into a ball, while cecina is her eternal partner, a fried piece of cured wild jungle boar colored with annatto. He got a Chaufa Amazonica, or Amazonian stir-fried rice. Kept true with Chinese tradition to be tossed in a wok above an engrossing flame until colored with the delicate smoke of wok flavor penetrating deep into the rice. Mixed in with pieces of chorizo, cecina, fried egg and green onions. But for me, the highlight of the whole meal (apart from the powerfully pink vit.C power packed punch-like camu camu juice) was the fried "zuri." The underground grub they raised on site with pieces of moist, rotting wood, and green plantains. As aforementioned, I'm not the kind of guy who will eat living grubs; it's just not me. Thankfully they offered it fried so there was no need to look like a pansy in front of the chef. Crunchy with an elastic, chewy center, something like a melted cheese stick. It tasted of moist, forest floor overflowing with umami; so much so as to give off a sweet note at the end. It took me a few bites to get over the fact that, a grub was in my mouth, but I conquered my fear and was glad I did. So, as of now it's only a matter of, when the next time will be. I'm hoping that after the 3rd or 4th try I can eat them without gagging.

Wise #1Word5voices
Reminding me to stop trying to fit my plan into God's, instead of taking the path that has been laid before me, is a daily struggle. Wisdom to know the difference is a life long journey.
I wonder if that is why the stereotypical very old Asian man is associated with wisdom. They have taken the journey and have become wise. Not because they know more but they have chosen time and time again and know which path would be better than most. Plus, sitting under a mimosa tree, high in the lower Himalayas, in deep meditation, while being asked age old mysteries, is just kinda cool.
The wise don't become that way because they have done everything perfect their whole life. I think the wisest are the ones who have made the most mistakes, AND chosen to keep going to find out the better way. They also have surrounded themselves with those who would both encourage and challenge them. And they simply wouldn't take no for an answer.
A wise man builds his house on a rock (Matthew 7:24). The only true God is wise (Romans 16:27). Be careful the wisdom you follow, because even God's foolishness is wiser than men (1 Corinthians 1:25).
A wise person is always in the posture of learning. To continuously be the student is a long lasting perspective that will serve God so that you can server others well.
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
My friends and I are doing it again this year: Blogging during Lent. I guess crazy sticks together. Love it! More than forty days, with just as many words, and five different perspectives. See what the others have said:

White Spots on Tonsils: Why Do They Occur?
When any pathogen (i.e. viruses, bacteria, yeasts, etc.) gets in your mucous membranes, your body starts to develop an infectious process. White spots may occur on tonsils as a result of bacterial, viral, yeast infection or due to calcified clusters on them. Streptococcal throat infection is the most frequent throat infection of the bacterial origin. Being detected less frequently than viral throat inflammations, it still can be dangerous due to possible complications, for instance, glomerulonephritis (renal disease) or rheumatic inflammation, associated with heart, brain, skin and joint diseases. Below you will find conditions, which may be accompanied by white spots on throat.
White Marks on Throat: Causes and Treatments
1. Tonsil stones (tonsilloliths)
This disease looks like white dots on tonsils, which may be invisible as well, however, they can cause a difficulty in swallowing and pain, bad breath and metallic taste in the mouth. Tonsil stones appear when hardened food, mucus and bacteria stick to the tonsillar crypts. Tonsils have the ability to self-clean, so if you don`t feel any discomfort, treatment is not needed. If your throat with white dots aches, follow simple prescriptions. Eating dry crackers can help to remove the tonsil stones, as food like this makes your tongue work actively, as well as muscles on the larynx side. Irrigation with warm salty water can also help: take a bottle from nasal spray and spray the following solution on the tonsils – take ½ teaspoon of salt for a nasal spray bottle of water. If these solutions don't work, tonsil stones can be always removed by laser.

So you want to know how to talk dirty to your man? It's one of those questions that has two answers: The short one and the long one. Let's start with the short one first, shall we?
How to talk dirty to your man? Just do it! Don't be shy about saying what you think and feel, and certainly don't hesitate to tell him what you want him to do to you. Men appreciate a woman who knows what she wants and doesn't feel intimidated by asking for it.
That's the short answer. Here's the longer one:
When you are learning how to talk dirty to your man, don't feel pressured by what you read in magazine or what you hear in porn films. Your man might like to hear such raunchy things, but what he wants more than anything else in bed is a little bit more of you. So be yourself! If you aren't the kind of woman who throws out the raunchiest words you can muster, that's okay. Say and do what is comfortable for you. The more fun you are having with it, the more excited your lover will be.
But when you do start talking dirty, don't be afraid to go hardcore, either. Men don't like to be treated like delicate flowers. They don't like to be coddled. They don't like caution. What they want is you, in all your naked, hot, steamy glory, telling them what you think of their body and their actions. Feel like using coarse words? More power to you! Feel like calling him naughty names? Have at it!
When it comes to the question of how to talk dirty to your man, the truth is this: You really can't go wrong. As long as you are being yourself, and as long as you are open to new things, your man will be quite happy. If you are willing to drop your inhibitions and learn to talk with even naughtier words than what you're used to using, your man will be so happy, you might not be able to get him out of bed!
Are you ready to brush up on your skills and learn how to talk even dirtier to your man? Take advantage of the Dirty Talk Guide in order to find the answers you need. Take it one step at a time, and remember…the more comfortable you get with dirty talk, the happier you will both be in the bedroom.

Apart from the fact that the outcomes of virtually all of the demonstrations had beforehand been revealed, the failure to reduce Medicare spending is strictly what ought to have been expected. One examine discovered that a typical Medicare affected person with Type 2 diabetes (without different medical conditions) saw five completely different medical doctors in a 12 months. One other confirmed that the rate at which primary docs referred sufferers to specialists doubled over the past decade. In a single survey, major care doctors who had Medicare patients coordinated with an average of 229 different physicians in a single 12 months to take care of those Medicare sufferers, blurring accountability.
Such services usually embody elective procedures as well as complicated specialized surgical procedures resembling joint substitute ( knee / hip ), cardiac surgical procedure , dental surgery , and beauty surgeries However, virtually every kind of health care, including psychiatry, different therapies, convalescent care and even burial providers can be found. As a practical matter, providers and prospects generally use informal channels of communication-connection-contract, and in such circumstances this tends to mean less regulatory or authorized oversight to assure quality and less formal recourse to reimbursement or redress, if needed.
pgrundy, I too hope they will put via a public choice. I'm fairly disturbed at the moment to be studying that they're reconsidering it as a result of resistance from the fitting and the far right. I am unsure how these co-ops they're talking about would work. Perhaps that will be okay, so I am not saying anything either way about it, but it maddens me to see individuals caving in to the calls for of the fear mongers. I've additionally read at present that now the end of life counseling is being reconsidered. That is ridiculous. Sarah Palin begins an unfounded 'death panel' rumor and now a good idea is being slashed to accommodate these folks? Just disgusting. But we are going to see.
Right it is not financed with borrowed cash, it is financed with 569 billion in NEW taxes. In fact the 500 billion they're expecting to save in medicare cuts which they're utilizing to pay for the rest of this boondoggle is a one time financial savings, and even Obama admitted does not clear up the medicare downside. That means more revenues shall be required down the highway in different phrases extra tax increases.
One other vital qualification for plastic surgeons if you are searching for one is that he or she is certified by way of experience and training. Schooling alone is not enough to make somebody certified. It's okay if a lot of the experience was in a residence program, however they need to undoubtedly have had a good quantity of arms-on experience in reconstructive surgery before it's best to hire them to deal with a deformity.

The Citadelle Art Foundation brings collaborative art project to Panhandle
Life-sized murals made from tape to compliment existing landmarks
CANADIAN—Tape Art has become a nationwide phenomenon in the 28 years since it first started and The Citadelle Art Foundation is proud to bring this dynamic and collaborative form of art to the Texas Panhandle for the month of October. Life-sized murals created by using only low-adhesive tape will temporarily adorn The Citadelle, areas around cultural landmarks, and schools in Spearman, Perryton, and Stratford. The theme of these imaginative murals will be to start a dialogue about the role technology plays in our daily lives and how we blend it with the beauty of the cultural assets that surround us.
Tape Art was born in Providence, Rhode Island in the 1980s. The movement began with a collection of nightly drawings made in tape on sidewalks and public spaces. The drawings sprawled across the landscape depicting scenes of chariots, trains, and roller coasters all rendered in life-sized silhouettes. When these works of art were finished, they were always removed within 24 hours. It wasn't unusual to see a silhouette come to life, only to disappear when the sun came up the next day. The projects quickly grew in popularity because they made art entertaining and accessible to everyone.
It wasn't long before national press picked up on the drawings and the Tape Art movement took on a life of its own. At one point, the Tape Art Crew traveled 29,000 miles in six months creating work in 40 different states. These innovative works of art have been featured on the Brooks Museum of Art in Memphis, Tennessee, The Revolving Museum in Boston, Massachusetts, The CBGB Gallery in New York City, and the Cattle Depot Artist Village Residency in Hong Kong, China. The Tape Art Crew expanded their work into schools, festivals, and office buildings teaching children and adults that creativity and imagination are not bound by age. What started out as a localized community-drawing project soon grew into a worldwide phenomenon that started a conversation about art, technology, social responsibility, and the value of teamwork.
"We are fortunate to be able to bring this group of incredible artists to our community," says Executive Director Wendie Cook. "This group is extremely talented and their work has been featured on some of the most prestigious landmarks in the country. To be able to share this work and collectively come together with the people of the Panhandle is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The contributions that artists of this caliber make to a community are enormous. Jim Bob McMillan, Deputy Director of the Texas Commission on the Arts, stresses the importance of bringing art of this level to local communities saying, "Artists, cultural institutions and creative enterprises all contribute to a community's economic potential. Not only do they generate direct economic activity, but artists and creative entrepreneurs infuse communities with energy and innovation."
The Citadelle Art Foundation is dedicated to providing a sanctuary for all forms of expression that celebrate life through art. The Tape Art Crew has a decades long history of bringing people together to create and celebrate art and what makes us all unique. Two organizations enthusiastic about the advancement of art mean this is an event like none-other.

The theater was packed, and we had to watch this movie sitting on the second row from the front. Consequently, I had a massive headache after 2 hours of closely staring at frenetic action scenes. But was it all worth it?
Simply. Yes.
Quantum of Solace is the 22nd Bond film and also the first direct sequel to its predecessor, which is Casino Royale. The movie is directed by Marc Foster in 2008. It stars Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Olga Kurylenko, Gemma Arteron, Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright, Giancarlo Gianinni, and Mathieu Amalric.
(There may be slight spoilers. For a full film synopsis, go to the Quantum of Solace page at Wikipedia.)
First and foremost, the previous Bond films were humorous and bordering on sci-fi comedy. Daniel Craig's James Bond is definitely gritty and more realistic. More human. He's a secret agent folks, he's supposed to be harsh, brutal, and violent. In Quantum of Solace, things are even more brutal, both physically and emotionally. Honestly, I don't think that Quantum of Solace is better than Casino Royale. Casino Royale was a love story that introduced James Bond's humanity to the audience. Quantum of Solace depicts Bond's quest for revenge to those responsible for Vesper's betrayal and death.
Daniel Craig owns this film. He carries the whole story with every bit of his sexy-cool stoicism intact, with just enough of some handsome sadness in his eyes to remind us that he is not a robot, despite physically impossible occurrences, such as walking away without any broken bones after free-falling from an airplane. But shoving all that in the part of our minds called suspension of disbelief, the action scenes and chases are definitely heart pound worthy. Action fans, even if they're not James Bond fans (if there are such cases), would be very happy with this flick. I also appreciated the fact that the Bond girls, Camille (Olga Kurylenko) in particular, weren't completely helpless ingénues. It seems that Bond girls keep progressing into stronger fighters in every Bond film. Also love the complicated relationship between M and Bond.
(Talking about M)I think that dialogue pretty much sums them up.
Camille: Your mother?
James: No, but she likes to think she is.
I wasn't impressed with the villain, Dominic Greene. Mathieu Amalric, the actor, was great, but I wasn't all that worried by him, which could be a worrying thing for a villain. Through the Bond villain history, we've seen a martial artist with a different face, a creepy guy who can't feel pain, a sweaty dude who bleeds from his eye, and some other whoah-worthy bad guys. But what does Greene do? He turns into Maria Sharapova while wielding an axe.
As for that oh-so important theme song opening that everyone is harping about. Well, the dancing women are back, if that matters at all. Although, I am quite disappointed that James Bond didn't do that "about face and shoot at the camera" thing that he does in every film. But, there is a particular scene in the film that consistent 007 fans would notice, it involves replacing gold with motor oil on a body. That's all I'll say.
Ultimately, Quantum of Solace is a gritty action film, that takes another step away from the stereotypical 007 film. Although we don't get to see invisible cars, laser watches, or machines that harness the sun's power to reign terror over the world, this 007 movie contains every bit of what was missing in the previous films: James Bond's character. Camille's character is particularly important, her back story and parallel reflection with James makes their relationship much more meaningful than just another casual Bond fling. It's easy to throw exotic places, beautiful women, awesome gadgets, wicked villains, and a hunky British secret agent together, but it's harder to make the story in the film actually matter. So kudos to Quantum of Solace, with some extra praise for Daniel Craig.
Other than that, Quantum of Solace holds 2nd place in my list of favorite 007 movies, 1st place still remains with Casino Royale. I hope the third Craig/Bond movie can do even bigger and better.

Florida Man Steals $4000 Worth of Ribs, Fries, and Wings for Super Bowl Party
The idiot of the day goes to a Florida man planning the biggest Super Bowl party of all time. He broke into Jerome Brown BBQ and stole $4000 worth of wings, fries, and ribs, on Wednesday. I truly hope he gets caught.
The finger food robber pried open the doors from the side of the building stealing the food and an empty cash register. A surveillance tape caught the thief and the Jacksonville police is seeking residents helping in finding the idiot.
Erika Morris, the store's manager, told the local ABCNews affiliate that the robbery will affected a lot of employees.
"It hurts employees, managers and the business owners. We wish whoever knows something about it, just turn them in. A close friend might know him. Just turn him in, because it's hurting everybody."
Why would you steal Super Bowl food a week before the big game? I hope someone turns him in before Sunday and receives a great reward. Jacksonville will be upset if they can't have their wings.

Two years ago today I was told that I was going to be having my baby in 24 hours. I was 34 weeks and 6 days pregnant. The radiographer and the obstetrician both assured me that the baby would be fine… after all, she was almost 11 pounds.
What could possibly go wrong?
Oh how I wish I had known…
I wish I had known that minutes after my daughter was born she would have a seizure and stop breathing. I wish I had known that the next 8 months of our lives would be utter chaos and turmoil as we flitted from one specialty to another, one admission to another, one complication to another, before everything culminated in a diagnosis that rocked the foundations of our world.
I wish I had known then how drastically our lives were about to change… that I would never again feel like a competent and able parent when it came to my daughter… that I would sacrifice everything for a better chance at life for her… that my older daughters would miss out on a normal childhood… that I would become an expert in medical conditions that I never knew existed, and had no desire to know about…
Oh how I wish I had known…
While in hindsight I probably wouldn't have changed anything, perhaps it would have made me a bit more prepared… for the constant battle to gain access to a health system that seems to constantly shut us out… for the heartbreak I would come to feel as I cradled my daughter as she screamed from a pain I could not ease… for the loneliness I would feel as I walked this path, virtually alone… and for the fear I would come to feel every night as I fell asleep wondering if my child would wake the next morning.
Yes… two years ago today, I was told my life was going to change. I just had no idea how much.
Now… on the eve of Nicola's second birthday and I look back over the past two years, and I can't help but marvel at how far she has come. She has survived odds that have seemed insurmountable. She has lived with complaints that drive grown adults to tears, yet she does so with a brave face and a smile, because in her little life she has never known any different.
I watch her interact with her sisters, laugh with them, touch them, play tea parties and ponies with them, and I can't help but smile. I watch her signing 'hello Daddy' or 'hello Mummy' and it fills my heart with happiness that I never knew was possible.
It is so confronting, seeing other children her age, or even seeing her sisters, and knowing that Nicola will never really be like that… but Nicola is… well… she's Nicola. Nicola is different, and that's ok… because that makes her who she is.
And who she is... is perfection incarnate.

Zale Corp., the world's largest specialty retailer of jewelry, has a new boss, and her name is Beryl B. Raff. She's the first woman to head Zale and one of the few top female execs in the male-dominated jewelry industry.
Raff, Zale Corp.'s former president and chief executive officer, was named chairman and chief executive officer of the company on Aug. 30 by Zale's board of directors. She received the appointment following the retirement of her mentor and friend Robert J. DiNicola, who guided Zale back to industry leadership and profitability after its bankruptcy in the early 1990s. Alan Shor, formerly executive vice president and chief operating officer, replaced Raff as president and chief operating officer. In 1999, DiNicola announced his intention to step down to facilitate an orderly transition while positioning Zale for continued growth. During the following year, he prepared Raff and Shor to run the corporation. They and Zale's management team also critiqued company performance; tested new products and merchandising concepts; solicited customer feedback; and, as Raff puts it, "tweaked our approach as the business dictated."
Growth. Raff takes the helm at a moment when Zale is again asserting its dominance in the retail jewelry industry. It ended fiscal 2000 (Aug. 31) with $1.79 billion in sales, a 38% gain in net earnings (to $111.5 million) and a comparable store gain of 11.6%-its best year ever. Also in August, Zale bought the Bethlehem, Pa.-based mall jewelry kiosk giant Piercing Pagoda for $201 million in cash. The acquisition added 940 units (and $280 million in sales) to Zale's approximately 1,400 locations, making it the largest jewelry retailer in the world, a title it had held until the early 1990s.
But Piercing Pagoda was only the latest foray into new markets by the Irving, Texas-based retailer. Last year, it acquired Peoples Jewellers, Canada's largest jewelry retailer (and co-owner of Zale in the late 1980s and early '90s) for $75 million. Zale has also made a big push into e-commerce with a strong Web site (redesigned last fall) and several partnerships with key Internet firms.
Something for everyone. Today, Zale's reach extends across the jewelry-buying spectrum with several strong core brands as well as new brands. These include low-priced, youth-oriented merchandise (Piercing Pagoda); a discount chain (Zale Outlet); an Internet division (Zale.com); a promotion-driven, moderately priced national mall name (Zales); an upper-moderately priced regional format (Gordon's); and a national luxury chain aimed at affluent consumers (Bailey Banks & Biddle).
In fiscal 2001, Zales Jewelers and Zale Outlets will add more than 30 stores each, including the first Zales Jewelers in New York City. Bailey Banks & Biddle will add 10; Gordon's, five; and Peoples, three. The company will probably close 10 to 15 stores overall.
"The last six years [for Zale Corp.] have been phenomenal," said Raff in a recent interview, "and we want to continue that by focusing on our core brands [Zales, Gordon's, and Bailey Banks & Biddle], which are our more mature brands, and by growing our newer brands like Zales Outlet, Peoples, Piercing Pagoda, and Zales.com. We think we have more growth opportunities now than ever before."
Building on cornerstones. Because of Raff and DiNicola's long professional history-they have known each other since their days as executives at R. H. Macy's almost two decades ago-don't expect Raff to make many major changes in how Zale Corp. operates. "Bob and I are really of one mind when it comes to running the business," she says.
According to Raff, that means "a strong focus on merchandising, first and foremost; differentiation of our brands; a full understanding of the customer; tight financial discipline and a broad view of the future; keeping an eye on the next opportunity and on improving returns." These were the cornerstone principles laid down by DiNicola in engineering Zale's revival, says Raff, and are "the only principles I have ever practiced" as a retailer.
However, she does have some specific plans and goals for Zale Corp., which she discussed in recent interviews with journalists and financial analysts.
Two-pronged plan. To maintain momentum and increase market share, Raff and her team moved into fiscal 2001 with what she says is a "strategic and focused two-prong approach."
One prong is merchandising. Zale merchants intend to "stay in front of the consumer [with] more powerful 'key item' drivers, priced to ensure volume growth," says Raff. In the gift and fashion sectors, especially, the company's stores will roll out "many new test-proven items in every price point" to keep its brands "fresh and forward in all current trends." Pricing is also being "sharpened strategically."
At the same time, traditional signature items and customer must-haves-like diamond studs and pendants, bracelets, channel bands and "perfect hearts"-are being updated for the new year. For example, Zale's popular .5-ct. diamond Millennium band (in platinum and 18k yellow gold) inscribed in the shank with the year "2000" set in diamonds, will have the third diamond "0" replaced with a baguette to create "2001." That gives the concept "legs to continue into the future," says Raff.
Diamonds certainly will continue to be the focus of much of Zale's merchandising and marketing attention. (Zales Jewelers, after all, calls both its brick-and-mortar and online outlets "Your Diamond Store.") Capitalizing on opportunities created by De Beers' holiday 2000 campaign-designed to create stronger demand for diamonds than last year-Zale strongly promoted the diamond line bracelet, three-stone anniversary band, and princess-cut diamond studs featured in the campaign. "We have developed line extensions to capture all we can from the demand created," says Raff. (See sidebar on p. 139)
The other half of Zale's two-prong strategy for fiscal 2001 is, as Raff puts it, "getting our hands around the expense side" of the business. There, "every line had been scrubbed, and smart savings opportunities identified which allow us to fuel the expense lines that drive volume while ensuring the bottom line," she says.
That includes continuing benefits from the sale of its credit card receivables last summer, which "significantly strengthened the balance sheet with serious resources freed up to help us more profitably expand the business."
Integrations. The business strategy for the new fiscal year also involves integrating some recent expansions, especially Peoples Jewellers and Piercing Pagoda, as well as increasing Zale's use of the Internet.
Peoples Jewellers. Zale bought Peoples Jewellers-Canada's largest jewelry retailer and former co-owner of Zale-in 1999. The acquisition made Zale the largest retail jeweler in North America. Since then, it has implemented marketing and merchandising strategies at Peoples mirroring those that rebuilt Zale itself in the late 1990s. Zale also moved much of Peoples's back-of-the-house operations from Toronto to Dallas.
The effects are most clearly seen in Peoples's average volume per store, "the key dynamic driving productivity," says Sue Grove, Zale's chief financial officer. When Zale acquired Peoples, its per-store average was $700,000 (in U.S. dollars). In 2000, it was up to $872,000, a significant increase that enabled Peoples to end its first year under Zale with a 110% gain rather than breaking even, as originally had been expected.
After DiNicola and his team took over in 1994 and introduced their new initiatives, it took four years for Zale to become profitable in all four quarters, notes Grove. "I would use the same barometer for Peoples and say we're looking at a three-to-four-year time frame there, too." Still, Peoples seems to be improving slightly faster than did Zale: The corporate goal for Peoples was $1 million per store by 2003, but, says Raff, "We could conceivably hit that mark in the next year or two."
Piercing Pagoda, the largest kiosk retailer (following several years of expansion and mergers) of popular-priced 10k and 14k jewelry in U.S. malls, was bought by Zale with cash that came largely from the sale of Zale's accounts receivables.
Acquisition of Piercing Pagoda had been one of DiNcola's goals and "was on our radar screen for a long time," notes Raff. She cites a couple of reasons. First, it operates "within our core competency-the malls-in real estate and an environment we understand. They complement our brands very well without any cannibalization or overlap." Second, the purchase extends Zale's reach "in a dominant way into a consumer segment we didn't have: teens and young adults. It would've taken us a long time to build a presence in this market on our own; now, in one fell swoop, we're the major player."
But "the real benefit," Raff continues, is that it enables Zale-now established in every major jewelry segment-"to capture jewelry consumers at the very beginning of their jewelry-buying life cycle and retain them through every important stage and jewelry buying event in their lives, from adolescent to adult."
It should take a year to integrate Piercing Pagoda into Zale, about as long as it took for Peoples. There will be no real changes in merchandising or operations until spring, says Raff.
For the moment, Zale is "learning to understand the franchise and looking at construction, design, and real estate," she says. Despite Piercing Pagoda's obvious benefits, it is still "a different business for Zale, and we really want to learn it" before devising specific merchandising or marketing schemes.
Zale does have some general plans in place for Piercing Pagoda, as it had for Peoples. Those include "a key item program, enhancing its diamond program, adding more color, and broadening their product categories," says Raff. She also believes Zale can raise Piercing Pagoda's productivity level. Its kiosks now average $300,000 a year, with an average check of $29. "We think we can have a significant impact on those numbers," she says, noting the effects of growth strategies on volume at both Zale in the late 1990s (from $700,000 in 1994 to $1.3 million this year) and at Peoples in the past year. Zale projects break-even earnings for the first year and a conservative 5% to 8% growth over the next few years.
Raff also sees possibilities for growth through expansion. There are 431 U.S. shopping malls with a Zale store but no Piercing Pagoda kiosk, creating "a significant opportunity" to expand the company's reach to younger consumers, she says. Also, Zale may "take this format into the Canadian market and perhaps vacation/destination locations."
Meanwhile, Zale is reviewing the viability of Piercing Pagoda's multiple concepts. The company operates kiosks under the names Piercing Pagoda, Plumb Gold, Silver & Gold Connection, and Diamond Isle and has several mall jewelry stores. In 1999 it began testing kiosks in train stations and airports. "It's not yet clear to us if those concepts are clearly differentiated or make sense for us," says Raff. "We'll evaluate each and every location for profitability and future potential before we make any decisions."
Up and dot-coming. Meanwhile, says Raff, Zale is "keeping our eyes very much on the efficiencies and advantages today's technology can offer us and looking to [its use in] the future as an important piece of the puzzle for the organization."
That includes dot-com retailing. Last fall, Zale was "working fast and furious" to revamp its Zale's Jewelers Web site and develop a new site for its affluent Bailey Banks & Biddle national chain.
"We would like to see [Web sites for] Gordon's and Peoples go up in the spring 2001 season," says Raff. "But that depends on many factors, including how.the Zale and Bailey Banks & Biddle sites are doing and what tweaks and improvements we want to make to them first. There's also the question of whether we tackle Peoples or Gordon's first. Peoples will be far more complex because of the Canadian duty [on purchases]. If we choose to do Peoples first, it will take all of the spring season, and we wouldn't get Gordon's up until later [in the year]."
Last year, the Zale Web site did about $6 million in business, about 1% of its total volume. Even with steady growth, Zale doesn't expect the site to produce more than $15 million annually in the near future. But Raff believes that, for now, volume is not a critical factor. "The objective is to position ourselves for the future. We want to understand the online environment, extend the brands appropriately on it, and make sure we can execute that well. Then when that foundation is well placed, we can start to put on volume as the industry matures."
All told, then, says Zale's new chairman, with business strategies built on proven concepts, "the flexibility to shift gears quickly to alternative strategies as business dictates, and our hands firmly on our expense structure, we feel well prepared for fiscal 2001." The retail giant's "competitive edge, aggressive approach to advertising, and unparalleled marketing, coupled with the leverage ability of our size," predicts Raff, "will keep Zale's momentum going and continue to gain market share."

Our motorhome has three floor level night lights. The bulb is the long slender type that looks like a fuse. Two had burned out and I had never been able to find replacements. Then here is M4Products to the rescue. I ordered three LED Festoons, popped them in, and presto, beautiful soft cool light, better than ever before.
Thank you for an outstanding product.
Posted by Denny on 10th Oct 2017
I have a 2001 Monaco Diplomat, my old step light would get hotter than I liked, installed the LED Festoons , now I have more light and a lot cooler to the touch .
Posted by Windy on 22nd Jan 2015
Used these in the closet lights and they provide ample light and are cool to the touch so if some cloths rub against the bulb there isn't any chance of fire!
Economical too!!!

Creative Inkers Occasions Catalogue Blog Hop!
Welcome to the Creative Inkers Occasions Catalogue Blog Hop! I have fallen in love with the beautiful Butterfly Basics stamp set and thinlit dies that are available in the Occasions Catalogue! I love a stamp set with both useful words and images, and this set ticks those boxes perfectly!
I saw a beautiful card made by one of the Stampin' Up! staff members, and thought it would be perfect on a page, and this is the finished result:
Here is a close up of the butterfly embellishment - I love layering and texture so this was perfect!
I also tried a different technique - putting die-cut letters on top of my photos (photo overlays are very much on-trend at the moment!). I used the Little Letters framelits to cut my letters out of Whisper White card.
I hope you enjoyed loking at my page! I taught this page to a group of 14 lovely ladies today at my regular monthly scrapbooking class - and only managed to get one photo! They all did so well and their pages looked amazing! Here is Karen working on her lovely page:

Arizona State University (ASU) dominates the city of Tempe. From the big "A" mountain monogram on Tempe Butte (also known as "'A' Mountain")
to the sports arenas and the visually striking Gammage Auditorium, it's hard to miss ASU.
The downtown area – the Mill Avenue District – is a university town embedded in the larger city and worth visiting just for the atmosphere. However, there are lots of other things that make up the city as a whole. Tempe Town Lake provides all sorts of recreational possibilities and is the site for many events through the year, including the Fourth of July fireworks and the display lighted boat parade after Thanksgiving.
The lake also supports quite a bit of wildlife, including these birds just below the dam…
Anchoring Tempe on the west and east are two large shopping centers – Arizona Mills and Tempe Marketplace. Other shopping can be found around ASU and along Southern.
Gammage is not the only striking venue in Tempe. The Tempe Center for the Arts on the western end of the lake, looks like a giant origami construction, with its dramatic roofline.
The 7th largest city in Arizona, with 170,000 or so people (depending on whether ASU is in session or not), Tempe plays host to both the P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon and the Ford Ironman Arizona triathalon.
The city government site has a map that shows the location of Tempe within the Phoenix metro area. Surrounding the city are Phoenix, Scottsdale, the Salt River reservation, Mesa, Chandler, and the small town of Guadalupe. The map is interactive and clicking on Tempe will take you to a pair of maps showing the general location for some of Tempe's attractions.
Tempe is split by US-60, so it splits neatly into two halves, north and south. Most of the business is in the north half, with much of the south side devoted to residential development. With nowhere to go but up, tall buildings are being built and more are planned. As this is in the flight path for Phoenix's Sky Harbor airport, the growth of high-rise construction has been a subject of some discussion.
Tempe is also more or less surrounded by freeways: On the north side is the Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway, on the west is the I-10 Maricopa Freeway, on the east the Loop 101 Price Freeway, and cutting across the city to the south of downtown is US-60, the Superstition Freeway. Also on the west is the Hohokam Expressway, AZ-143.
The Tempe Convention and Visitor's Bureau has some other maps that might be helpful. If you want to get around by mass transit or bicycle, the Tempe in Motion site has good information on the bike routes, light rail and buses.
Using the same format as the city site, I've broken the information on Tempe's attractions into two sections.
Arizona State University
ASU would get its own page except that it is so much a part of Tempe. From its stadium to its student population, ASU is embedded in Tempe, so I'm including it here. ASU is a cultural, sports and entertainment hub for the city and the whole region.
Here are some of the things that you may find interesting to do and see at ASU (aside from actually attending one of the country's premier schools!):
A note: Some of the museums and attractions at ASU have tours available. The School of Earth and Space Exploration offers a centralized location to set up tours.
ASU operates the Deer Valley Rock Art in north Phoenix, too. Hundreds of petroglyphs are visible from an short easy trail.
The Intitute of Human Origins at ASU has a full collection of Australopithicus afarensis, of which the fossil "Lucy" is the most famous member. Don Johanson, the head of the team that located "Lucy," is part of the faculty.
The ASU Art Museum "houses permanent collections of 19th and 20th century American paintings and sculptures, Latin American art, and an emphasis oncontemporary art including new media."
The ASU American Museum of Nursing "portrays the image of the nurse through the years."
The Arboretum at Arizona State University is an extensive collection of plants with a unique setting. From a visitor's standpoint, this is essentially a walking tour of the grounds of ASU. Please get the maps and enjoy.
If you are looking for something a little more down-to-earth, try the Center for Meteorite Studies. It is "home to specimens from over 1500 separate meteorite falls…"
The R. S. Dietz Museum of Geology, among other things, has Columbian Mammoth bones found in Chandler and a six-story Foucalt pendulum.
The ASU Life Sciences Center features "reptile displays, including all 18 sub-species of Arizona native rattlesnakes."
ASU's Gammage Auditorium is "best known as the last major architectural design of Frank Lloyd Wright." It takes a while to get used to it – we thought it was a hideous overdone wedding cake of a building when we first saw it, but it has grown on us.
Another striking structure is Sun Devil Stadium. I like the fact that the stadium appears to be wedged between the two hills. It makes for a pretty neat visual from Loop 202. The stadium was recently the site of a commencement address by President Obama, but it has also been host to the Cardinals and the Fiesta Bowl as well as the home of the ASU Sun Devils football team.
Other North Tempe attractions:
The Arizona Historical Society Museum, located in Papago Park, focuses on Central Arizona and the last century's changes.
The Tempe section of Papago Park has a dog park, a lagoon, ramadas, volleyball courts, a baseball field and playgrounds.
Tempe Town Lake is located on the north side of downtown and it's the site for kayaking, sailing, paddleboats, rowing, on the lake, and bicycling, running, and partying.
The only part of the Salt River that stays wet inside the metro area itself, the lake is formed by inflatable dams at both ends. When the Salt actually starts running, the dams have to be deflated.
The Petersen House Museum is a "restored Queen Anne-style home built in 1892 by one of Tempe's earliest settlers."
The Tempe Historical Museum is now reopened after renovations through early 2010. The musuem covers Tempe's history from its Hohokam predecessors through today.
The Marquee Theatre is a small venue north of the lake and features up and coming acts in jazz, ska, reggae and the like.
Big Surf claims to be America's first wave pool, and has lots of different ways to stay wet.
The south-side attractions, as befitting a more residential area, are more about having family fun. For instance, the IMAX Theatre at Arizona Mills shows both traditional IMAX shows and current theatrical releases.
Sega Gameworks is also at Arizona Mills. "Games, drinks, music and food in an energetic, fun, family atmosphere."
The newest entertainment at Arizona Mills is the SeaLife Aquarium. Sea horses, crabs, sharks, rays…
Fiddlesticks offers "Go-karts; bumper boats; driving range; batting cages; arcade and mini-golf. Great family fun."
The Kiwanis Community Park "features a lake, boat rentals, picnic ramada, softball/soccer fields, batting range, playgrounds and indoor wave pool."

over my head
I'm drowning.
And you're reading a woman who grew up in libraries and who worked in one for five years at university.
But I don't have a clue.
Fortunately I have good teachers who are doing their best to make sure I get clues and are working me to a frazzle with lots of "problems" to solve and stuff to find -- and the means to find it, if only I can figure out how.
I had an aha! moment at the very end of this afternoon's class on using computer search engines like LexisNexis and Readex and several others. It made me fall in love with Readex because I actully found one of the people I was looking for using it. But I'm supposed to figure out how to use books as well.
That's going to be more than a week's worth of work, believe me.
I think maybe Natalie dropped out of law school. That's about as much inspiration as Im capable of at the moment.
Oh, and I think I terrify one of my professors who is afraid he might turn up in a book someday.
