This morning, I changed a method to my office from driving my own car to taking public transportation because I needed to go somewhere in the evening and I didn't want to go there by driving. Anyway, this change made me look at the sky in the different way.

Travel theme: Stone
Jizō is a Bodhisattva (Jp. Bosatsu), one who achieves enlightenment but postpones Buddhahood until all can be saved.
– Source –
I believe that it's not hard to find stone statues of Jizo when you visit Japan which they can come in various styles. I've been to Kanmangafuchi Abyss where about 70 stone of Jizo are located in a one row when I visited Nikko in March this year (2013).
I usually see standing statue of Jizo. This was the first time I saw the sitting statue of Jizo.
After spending time at the famous world heritage site in Nikko, my friend and I tried to find a way to Kanmangafuchi Abyss. Unfortunately, we've lost for 30 minutes until we found a kind Japanese staff at a museum along the way. He explained how to go there to us by using hands gesture, a piece of paper map and Japanese language (Luckily, my friend could moderately communicate in Japanese).
Finally, we found the entrance for what we were looking for. The road was occupied by melted ice causing slippery. We had to find another way to walk to our destination.
The statues of Jizo here are alternatively called "Bake Jizo" (Ghost Jizo), "Narabi Jizo" (Jizo in a line) or "Hyaku Jizo" (100 Jizo) (Reference).
Some say that the name of Ghost Jizo comes from the number of Jizo. No matter how many of them you count from the beginning of the path till the end, the number will never be the same when you count on the way back.
My friend tried to count them on the way back. When I asked her whether the number was the same or not. She told me that she wasn't sure because she's confused with counting on the way back. — Aha —
Weekly Photo Challenge: Horizon
The passengers
I've chosen Street Photography for this week's phoneography challenge (Challengers'choice) even though they are on the boat. I snapped a photo by a native camera on iPhone 4 while taking a boat to my home area. Camera 360 and Phonto were applications I used for filters applying and credit writing.
I love words.
I love reading quotes.
I love remembering some words from films and songs.
So these are my favourite quotes accompanied with my photos.
(Remarks: I've mentioned them before in this blog, but not with these photos.)
This entry is a respond to Sue's A Word A Week Challenge – Favourite and Frizztext's QQQ Challenge.
HaPPY BiRTH DaY 1 Year
Today (26 Oct) is this blog's birthday which I've also got the trophy from WordPress like the below captured screen.
To celebrate this 1 year anniversary, I selected an entry for My Best Photo of the Week (MBPOTW) Challenge – week 9 to show the sweet virtual dessert. The shot was taken on last Sunday when my family and I went outside to have lunch. We had pizza and then went to the well-known dessert restaurant in Bangkok named 'After You'. This place is famous for their Toast with topping and syrup. We ordered a new menu (something … apple) together with this plate called Cheddar Cheese Toast.
Yeah! HaPPY aNNiVeRSaRY
366 posts 365 days
This blog 'completelydisappear.wordpress.com' was born on 26 Oct 2012. On that day, I published two posts which were about the origin of this blog's tag line and my lack of making small talk skill vs difficulty in English verbal communication. From the 1st day, I've kept publishing one post a day.
If we count number of days, I think today will be the 365th day of my blogging as well as the post no.366th. To be honest, I hardly believe I could maintain this blog everyday. I have to thank you to all of challenges that I've taken part in. They do give me ideas for the blogs. Moreover, I'm grateful towards fellow bloggers in this community both follower and following. I believe that interactions among WordPress bloggers help keep the blogs rolling.
For the next 365 days, I will try hard to keep writing one blog each day. I know that the 1st time to start doing what I've challenged myself was hard but the next round to do that again might be even harder. Still, I think I can do it. And yes, I will do it.

The S&P/Case-Shiller home price index came Tuesday morning with a chilling warning from the chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
"The housing recovery is faltering. While prices and sales of existing homes are close to normal, construction and new home sales remain weak. Before the current business cycle, any time housing starts were at their current level of about one million at annual rates, the economy was in a recession," said David Blitzer, managing director and chairman.
There's no doubt that the year is off to a bad start for housing in terms of housing starts, completions and permits. Existing home sales tumbled in January, and mortgage applications have been spiraling downward in February, giving away most of the gains made in January. The earliest home price report from Black Knight Financial Services pointed to home price declines in December.
The National index was slightly negative in December, while both composite Indices were positive. Both the 10- and 20-City Composites reported slight increases of 0.1%, while the National Index posted a -0.1% change for the month. Miami and Denver led all cities in December with increases of 0.7% and 0.5% respectively. Chicago and Cleveland offset those gains by reporting decreases of -0.9% and -0.5% respectively.
"The softness in housing is despite favorable conditions elsewhere in the economy: strong job growth, a declining unemployment rate, continued low interest rates and positive consumer confidence," Blitzer said.
Industry reaction from some quarters was contrary and swift.
"The Case-Shiller price index metrics for December all came in at the high range of what analysts were expecting, meaning that price appreciation in the last quarter of 2014 was stronger than expected by Wall Street," said Jonathan Smoke, chief economist for realtor.com. "For most of 2014, we saw home price appreciation moderate as inventory slowly increased and we shifted from away from a higher percentage of investor purchases.
Smoke notes that list prices and existing home prices both saw higher year over year appreciation at the end of 2014 and starting 2015 as a direct consequence of inventory tightening.
"While inventory was at its peak last summer, the months' supply of homes on the market only reached 5.6, and now we're back under 5 months of supply. We will have price appreciation well above the rate of inflation as long as we stay at such low levels of supply," he said. "Based on the list and sale prices in January, the very lagged Case-Shiller indices should show even higher appreciation in their release next month."
Because of all this, he said, he thinks the alarm from Blitzer is overblown.
"This lagged reading should not be interpreted as a signal that the 'housing recovery is faltering,'" Smoke said. "We've had a slow recovery for many reasons, including a depressed level of first-time buyers limited by tight credit and a weak economy. Now that the economy has strengthened, we've exchanged poor fundamentals as a primary inhibitor with limited inventory as the new problem. Rising prices should encourage would-be sellers and home builders to put more supply on the market and thus enable more growth in sales.
"To falter, we'd have to be falling from a position of strength. I'd argue we're just getting started. We've yet to reach a normal level of demand, but the drivers of demand all point to more momentum ahead, not less. Transaction volume growth depends on demand and supply and these positive price signals are critical to seeing that supply increase," Smoke said.
Quicken Loans vice president Bill Banfield didn't see it as alarming. He thinks the problem is inventory more than anything.
"Home prices have entered what appears to be a steady level of appreciation that is not too hot or too cold.," Banfield said. "But the limited supply of homes on the market to choose from may make some buyers feel like they were left out in the cold."
Paul Diggle, property economist at Capital Economics, saw more a glass half full.
"December marked the fourth consecutive month during which house prices rose by at least 0.5% m/m," he said. "The slight acceleration in price growth at the end of last year reflects the tightening in housing market supply conditions. But with housing no longer obviously undervalued, prices are unlikely to increase by much more than incomes over the next few years.
House prices have firmed up in recent months thanks to a combination of fewer homes being put on the market and stronger demand for the inventory that's available," Diggle said.
"But as firmer prices act to attract sellers back into the market and keep a lid on demand, that should in turn help prevent a further acceleration in price growth. Admittedly, our forecast of 4% house price growth in both 2015 and 2016 is stronger than the consensus expectation of 3.5%. But with the prospects for the wider US economy looking increasingly promising, that is a position that we are happy to occupy," he said.

Welcome back to the the 16th profile on A Very Simple Idea! I got some feedback that the "themed" post was a good idea, so this week I will give it another try. Unfortunately, the theme this time around is much less enjoyable, even if the players on the profile were a joy to read about.
I knew that at some point I would need to write about Jose Fernandez and Oscar Taveras, but I really wasn't sure how to approach each of their profiles. After thinking on it for the last few weeks, it seemed only appropriate to write about them together, as the tragedy of their early departures and the resulting sentiments were all too similar.
Before looking into the data on these guys, I admit that I did not have enough appreciation for what Fernandez was doing in terms of strikeouts and just how highly touted Taveras was. I am sad that we will never get to watch them play baseball again, but am glad to be able to capture a piece of history for my collection with these three Bowman Inception autographed cards.
The goal of this post is to celebrate the players as they were on the field, not get into any discussion about their deaths or the circumstances surrounding them.
Player History:
Some times I wish that I had stuck with Statistics as one of my college majors, because as I have gotten older I have really wanted to understand baseball analytics and the way players are scouted. The debate on who to draft and why will always be a back-and-forth between statistics and "the eye test," but sometimes it should just be obvious. Now that I have a better sense of where Fernandez came from, I believe that his rise should have been seen from a mile away.
Without going into the significant story of how Fernandez ended up in America, I will start with the fact that he was a two time state championship winning pitcher from Tampa, Florida. His senior year he was 13-1 with a 1.35 ERA in 16 starts. This was good enough to be drafted 14th overall by the Marlins in 2011.
Here is a composite scouting report from prospect361.com regarding Fernandez:
When looking at Fernandez, it's hard not to be impressed by the mature physicality of the body. He's 6-foot-2 and 240 sturdy pounds. he carries himself very well on the mound, projecting that ever so elusive mound presence. What exactly is that?…An attitude and look that he is in charge and belongs. Fernandez has it and more…[his] arsenal is elite and he has the potential to be a top of the rotation starter with an ace ceiling.
Ironically, the scouting report continues (this part was written just as Fernandez was being called up to the majors):
Do I believe he'll be as dominating in the Majors? No, but I also believe that he will hold his own with a chance to be very effective over his first few outings. However, Major League hitters will quickly expose his deficiencies and this is when his inexperience could play a factor. Will he be able to react to the adjustments? The Marlins must think he can and I for one, can't wait to find out.
And how did that turn out? Fernandez made his Major League debut on April 7th of 2013 against the Mets, allowing only one run on three hits (and of course eight strikeouts). From there he became an All-Star and National League Rookie of the Year. Despite battling injuries over the course of 2014 and 2015, Fernandez compiled a career record of 28-17. Over his 471 innings pitched, Fernandez amassed 589 strikeouts, giving him an astounding 11.25 strikeouts-per-nine rate. For perspective, Nolan Ryan's k/9 rate was 9.54.
Oscar Taveras was born in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic in 1992. Sixteen years later, the Cardinals signed him as an international free agent. From 2009-2013 he was consistently one of the best hitters in the Minor Leagues. He garnered enough acclaim and attention that he was declared the batting champion of the MidWest League (A level ball) with a .386 average even though he was 31 plate appearances shy of actually qualifying!
In 2012 alone, Taveras lead all Cardinals minor league players in hits, doubles, triples, home runs, RBIs, slugging percentage and on base percentage. He was also in the top five of batting average and runs scored. He was the MVP of the Texas League All-Star Game and was a starting outfielder in the 2012 Future's Game, batting third for the World team.
2013 saw Taveras injure his ankle only 46 games into the season, but by this time, he was already one of the top ranked prospects in all of baseball. Taveras was still able to make his MLB debut in May of 2014, going 1-3 with a home run. Statistically, that season would not be amazing for Taveras, but it was assumed it was only a matter of time before he would have the same success in the Majors as he did in the Minors.
The comments from the baseball world about each player were very similar in the days following their deaths. Marlins President David Samson said that "Jose is a member of this family for all time, his story is representative of a story of hope, and love and of faith, and no one will ever let that story die." MLB Commissioner at the time, Bud Selig, said of Taveras: "Oscar, a young member of the Baseball family, was full of promise and at the dawn of a wonderful career in our game, evident in his game-tying home run against the Giants exactly two weeks ago." Selig was referring to the second to last hit of Taveras' career, a pinch-hit game-tying home run in the National League Division Series that the Cardinals won with a walk-off home run in the ninth.
Without a doubt, both Fernandez and Taveras will be continue to be missed by the baseball world for a very long time. I am thankful to have gotten to know them a little better though this blog and will always enjoy holding their Inception cards in my collection.
Look of the Card:
Long before I came close to finishing this set, I felt like the Fernandez Inception was one of the best looking cards in the set. The colors of the Marlins black jersey combined with the detailed coloring of the logos on the jersey just really stand out on the cobalt background of the 2013 card. The signature leaves a little to be desired - I have not compared it to other types of cards or years to see if he ever got better with this - but I do love the addition of his jersey number 16 at the end. Love that move.
All that really can be said about this card is that it does seem to embody the mound presence that Fernandez captured so perfectly. There is nothing tight or tense about him in this moment before unleashing a pitch that was mostly likely about to be swung at and missed. His face is relaxed, yet focused. His body coiled but not tightly wound. It absolutely projects self-confidence and the belief that this is the perfect pitch for the moment.
The 2013 Taveras card contains much of the same feel to it. In the photo, he has obviously just followed through on a ball that he connected with, as evident by his eyes tracking the flight of the ball. This may sound sacrilegious to some, but it has a very Ken Griffey Jr. feel to the follow through. Just smooth and complete.
The mechanics of the 2013 card is fairly basic, though, as nothing else really stands out about the coloring, positioning or the signature. Definitely not one of the best signatures I have seen; looks like the pen came up off the card as he finished the auto.
Everything about the 2014 Taveras Inception is a little more intense. The look on his face is not nearly as relaxed, and there is a spark in his eyes that is not present in the 2013 card. The fact that the shot is from the opposite angle as the 2013 card show he is about to take off for first base, giving a greater sense of his athleticism. Even the signature seems a little more intense, as if he was paying more attention or pushing down on the marker a little harder as he scribbled his name. I am also a fan of the flourish of the line through the name at the end! For whatever reason, it gives an aura of completeness to the whole thing.
Card Value:
This is the first time that I have looked at three cards in one post, so I am hoping that the chart does not get too convoluted. Here is a quick guide to the chart:
BIN - Buy It Now (to keep it simple I am not including auctions in the chart)
eBay Sales: eBay data is only available for the previous three months
COMC Sales: this covers the amount of times a card was purchased and changed hands, not necessarily that that number of individual cards were purchased
(Sorry for the formatting of the chart. I am still trying to figure out the best way to get this part down)

2 listed: $20.25-$24.50

I really wish I had data going back to when each of them passed away. I remember shortly after Fernandez died that it was hard to get his Inception for less than $60 for a couple of months. It was not too long before prices started coming back down into the $20s and then some even dipped down into the teens. It really is an interesting phenomenon, the way prices surge when a player dies; probably worth looking into for someone with more time on their hands than I do!
Thanks for hanging with me this week! Next week, my plan is to look at the only player that I currently have cards for that span 2013-2015…Miguel Sano!

Category: Environment
The Internet Has Spoken
I feel like I'm drifting away.
Connection is such a tenuous thing, physically or emotionally. You want to connect, to trust, but how do you know when the connection is toxic, or failing, or broken?
Each day, I try to tiptoe around the world for as long as I can, but the internet has made this challenging.
It's a Catch-22, if I don't connect to the internet I drift apart from the world, but if I connect to the internet, I'm bombarded with stuff : news, ads, studies, misery and success, and just, well, stuff.
Page after page, link after link of:
People with diseases and those pretending to have diseases, really? Pretending to have a disease? Stuns me every time.
Finding life on other planets – shouldn't we concentrate on keeping what little intelligent life we have on Earth first?
What's getting deflated? Definitely not the egos of athletes!
Governments lying to us again…still?
Bragging, boasting, whining, complaining, rudeness, trolls and trouble.
Turtles and snakes in toilets, transformed food, books, social media, movies, cats, TV, music, royalty, and endless things going viral we won't remember next week.
Riots, wars, conflicts, comets, poverty, abuse, slavery, rape, murder, mutant ants, fires, biker wars, shootings, floods, terrorism, volcanic eruptions, killer bees, public shaming, teachers having sex with students (in the wise words of Pink Floyd, Hey! teachers! leave the kids alone!)…
Hoaxes, scams, and stunts, aarrgghhh, my head is spinning!
NSA, CIA, IRS, CSIS, OMG, ISIS, UFO, LOL, NASA, it might be fun to stay at the YMCA, if we weren't drowning in abbreviations.
Studies explaining things they think I should know, like: food, drinking, sleeping, the environment, politics, parenting. I figured out parenting, at first you're disoriented, exhausted, scared to say or do the wrong thing, a bit like being abducted by aliens, then you realize, they're adorable aliens, like ET and then, they have you, you have X-Files Stockholm Syndrome and you can't get enough…or wait, is that politics, not parenting?
Ads and commercials for things we don't need, but apparently should want more than breathing.
And remember when we only knew a little about celebrities and their lives? I miss that.
Remember in Poltergeist, where the eldest daughter is standing in the street screaming, "What's happening?!?"…sometimes, that's me, inside my head.
Don't get me wrong, despite my woes, I'm happy to wake up alive every morning, as opposed to waking up dead, which is most inconvenient and usually alters your plans, not only for the day, but the foreseeable future. Yet I'm struggling, dear readers, to find a balance between using technology and being consumed by it. I suppose it's the same with any relationship, you need boundaries, compromise and…
1. Mutual respect. If you're feeling bad when using the internet, take some time away, explore other interests.
2. Independence. If you depend on it for everything, it's likely to let you down one way or another.
3. Dreams. Does it inspire you to write that novel you've always talked about writing, talk to an old friend, travel, try new things, explore, take a chance…dream?
Perhaps sometimes you have to drift to make connections; strong connections, not overpowering ones.
Dreaming is Free
Are teens and young people at risk for dreaming anymore?
Dreaming has become very expensive…and I think you need an app for it.
Boomers and Gen X were well-intentioned, wanting to give our children everything. Somehow it backfired and we're leaving them with: a broken system, crumbling infrastructure, crippling debt, dubious morals, attention issues, a yawning wealth gap, a dying planet, corrupt governments and business.
Now in our defence, we also gave them: kittens on the internet, tons of fast food, and technology that might be destroying them.
Yet I'm still hopeful. Why? Because they are.
Many young people still want to try. They want to change things.
The media gives us the impression that all young people care about is
their smart phones, that they don't vote, they're unmotivated, or joining terrorist groups.
But that's because the news is pandering – sensationalism rules.
Saving the planet isn't sexy.
Trillions in unfunded liabilities (governments are happy if you don't pay attention to things like this) is boring and incomprehensible.
None of this has ratings potential. Rarely goes viral. But it should. We need to stop focusing on the negative and sensational.
Have we removed our children's ability to dream? I hope not.
Maybe it would help if we stopped calling them things like, Generation Screwed. That's uplifting.
Profusely unemployed or underemployed, many live at home longer or return home. Debt, especially from student loans, is weighing them down. They need to have hope.
This generation, Millennials, have been given so much.
Their expectations are high. A new smart phone in their hand, and often. Big TVs, little laptops and tablets, a car to drive, fast food, clothes, trips.
Yet when they get out into the world to earn enough to have those things themselves, they hit barriers – no jobs, part-time jobs, low-income jobs, outsourcing, and even their beloved technology is plotting to steal their jobs.
They're told to: lower their expectations; accept the new normal; the low-hanging fruit has been picked; and society has reached a plateau. Wow, way to motivate.
That should be a Graduation Speech:
Knowing that society has reached a plateau and all the low-hanging fruit has been picked, we're all going back home to live with our parents until we're 40 or so.
This is the new normal, having lowered our expectations of ever getting a decent job or a home.
We accept this is the way things are.
And in conclusion, check out this viral video of a zebra that can paint its own toenails.

I am a teacher and an accidental homeschool mom.
I hadn't planned on homeschooling my child but we had some pretty yucky preschool experiences and so I took a part-time job and here we are!
I had no idea how much information there was out there about homeschooling and how overwhelming it would be to get started, and I've been teaching for over a decade.
There are SO many options and a few hoops to jump through if you decide to privately homeschool your child (and are not a credentialed teacher).
For the family who wants to get started with homeschooling but isn't sure how, I have put together some resources to help make getting started easier.
Getting started homeschooling:
Find your Homeschool Style
Support yourself
Get Organized
Build a Social Support Network
Do your Research
1. Find Your homeschool Style:
NOTE: The school at home option can either be working with a school district (using their FREE curriculum) or buying your own packaged curriculum and using that.
If you do not have a teaching credential and are not working with a school district you will have to file for a homeschool affidavit. Click here if you live in CA or Google Search ____________ (your state) homeschool affidavit. There are resources for getting help in figuring this process out. Most homeschool parents say that the first time is the hardest and after that it's easy-peasy.
Most Popular Homeschool Styles
The key to a happy homeschool is finding a balance for you and the kids. The first month is mainly about getting organized and finding your rhythm. For some this is getting used to a new schedule or routine and building independence.
Initially the tricky part is balancing out everyone's needs. Know that this takes time and embrace the process of figuring this out. You may find that you need more structure and your child(ren) needs less. You can try a preparing a child-led unit of study. There many ways to homeschool the hardest part (initially) is figuring out your style. Take a look at the homeschool styles and see which one appeals most to you then try it out.
For us Eclectic is the best way to go for many reasons. Ultimately it supports both of our needs and provides enough flexibility for us to stay consistent, long-term. From birth I have used Montessori inspired activities and materials because they work very well on all types of children. As he is growing and developing his personality and work style preferences I am noticing changes are needed from time to time, this is normal.
Homeschool Curriculum
Your curriculum should support your homeschool style. Planning it in advance is helpful in keeping organized but don't put too much pressure on yourself about planning out too far in advance.
PREschool FULL Homeschool Scope and Sequence
If this is overwhelming plan one month, one quarter or two quarters in advance. Review all goals regularly (montly, quaterly, yearly, whatever you're able to commit to). If you need specific examples on how to break down and organize curriculum click here.
Child-led Curriclum
Child-led is the way to go. This varies in definition so the simple definition is that the child is aware of and in charge of their learning. This style of learning is mostly done in the home environment yet it is possible (but slightly more complicated) to do in the traditional school setting. Fundamentally child-led learning support the individual child's abilities and developmental needs in a way that interests them. They have the power of choice and we manage this with the internal structure of our homeschool flow. I appreciate Maria Montessori's "freedom within boundaries" model. The environment is equipped to support self-sustained independent learning with adult guidance, expectationas are set, practiced and reinforced. The adult's role is a facilitator or a guide.
Morning basket (a Charlotte Mason inspired tool)
One basket contains the day's (or week's) activities & copy work (depending on the child's needs). The homeschool teacher (mom) prepares this the night before and depending on your homeschool flow the child follows your schedule or can select which order to complete their work.
Montessori Shelves
A bookshelf with several activities that the child chooses from.
Designated Work Space
Younger kids need craft and art space that can get messy AND is easily cleaned up. As kids get older the will be doing copy work or work sheets. It is important to have a work space that will be productive for them such as a standing desk for older kids who still need to wiggle and a large enough table or desk space for kids to handwrite, craft or otherwise construct their amazing creations.
Writing Invitations
Offering writing invitations is hit or miss in our home. It will not go over well for what feels like months and then he'll write something like this.
… it's sometimes easier said than done!
- What are your local resources?
- Find other Homeschool Families to connect with. See if there is a Co-op, Play-School, Forrest School or other meet up in your area
- Connect with other homeschooling families in your area; what are they doing?
- Join a Facebook community (especially if you do not have in person support or know any other homeschool families in your area)
- Follow Homeschool Feeds on Instagram (see below for specific feeds. If you have a preschooler we are doing 2 years of preschool & will start letters & play based academics this summer @mudpiesandmanis )
Homeschool Tips for Parents offers tips from a teacher is my cheat sheet for self-support.
SELF CARE- It's super easy to burn yourself out as a homeschool mom!
Initially, it takes some effort to start something new. Getting your homeschool up and running as you are learning about your homeschool style, setting goals, taking care of the house, prepping meals, etc. will take some extra effort and the transition is not easy for all.
Patience is required not only for your children but ESPECIALLY with yourself!
3. Get Organized–
One of the best ways to keep up with pacing is to start a homeschool planner. This is required grade levels (K- high school) but is helpful for preschool as well
If you're considering "school at home" options FIRST use my spreadsheet to help you make the best choice for a home school for your family.
Other Ideas to try:
- Try a curriculum map(yearly outline of what you will teach over the course of 10-12 months) or see a Kindergarten Curricular Map Sample
- Or A homeschool planner
- And start a Homeschool Binder (contains all of my planning sheets plus my curriculum map and notes from our activities). If you're planning on homeschool from 6 years old on you'll need one of these anyway. It helps to get in the habit of it early on instead of going back and trying to remember what you did.
Carve out learning space in your home:
My motto is work with what you have, buy what you need.
We started with this small space for our weekly activities and a tiny bit of storage in his bedroom & the garage for supplies not in use.
On top of our materials (in use) storage area there is a prepare workstation that I'd use for the days work. (that unfinished projects could be kept-intact), Storage of materials easily accessible (in use) and put away until next year or learning cycle.
It worked great for the first month or two as we were getting situated but we ended up adding other space in our home for variety (out on our deck when the weather is nice and in the garage when it's rainy).
Also, we have set aside another table and bookshelf for open-ended play choices.
He is sorting out his process art box that he (accidentally) spilled.
4. Build a support network –
Find and join local homeschooling co-ops for support & enrichment.
USE INSTAGRAM: (for lesson plan ideas and collaborate with other homeschool mamas)
- Instagram – check out some instagram feeds that I love @homeschoolcollective, @littlepinelearners, @momducator @figmentcreative, @steamkidschallenge, @livingmontessorinow, @stimulatinglearningwithrachel, @pinayhomeschooler I'll cut the list off there because I could literally go on for days with all the great stuff on IG.
- FaceBook- There are also some great Facebook feeds to check out for homeschooling. I am not on FB as much as IG for ideas but I do like: https://www.facebook.com/wildandfreetobe. For more ideas search for Facebook homeschooling groups, communities.
5. More Resources:
RESEARCH- Do a TON of research! Here are some sites to get you started

Although significantly lower, the number of cell phone users is forecast to reach 4.77 billion by the year 2017.
That's a lot of cell phones and cell phone users. But what's even more fascinating about all these mobile devices is thebehavior that surrounds them:
Clearly, cell phones aren't going away anytime soon. I use my smartphone every day, too. But how I use mine most likely differs from how the typical user uses theirs…
Most conventional experts don't view cell phone exposure as a problem, mainly because they only look at one component of cell phone safety.
Their focus is on the thermal effects of cell phones and how your body absorbs the radiofrequency energy. The industry insists that because the energy of the fields is too low to cause heating of tissues, it can't have any biological effect.
Industry suggests you compare SAR ratings, but the numbers are meaningless
When buying a wireless phone, the industry suggests you compare ratings and purchase one with a lower rating.
Please understand that the SAR rating by itself is virtually worthless.
The SAR level only estimates the heat from the radiation penetrating into your head from a cell phone – just ONE component of concern!
The SAR level does not measure the risk from the frequencies of the cell phone, the erratic pulsing and modulation of the signals, or the magnetic fields created by the batteries.
Scientists now know that many of the effects from cell phones are non-thermal. In other words, they occur at levels too low to cause significant heating to tissues.
The frequency of a cell phone's waves falls between those emitted by FM radios and those from microwave ovens, all of which are considered "non-ionizing" forms of radiation.
When you make a call, text, or use data on your cell phone, here's what happens:
Your phone sends radiofrequency, or RF waves from its antenna to nearby cell towers, and receives RF waves in return to its antenna.
If you are holding the phone next to your face, as most people do, then about 70 percent of the energy from the antenna is absorbed straight into your head.
As you can see from the diagram below, age makes a difference in how much of this energy can be absorbed into the tissue. A younger child's skull is much thinner than an adult's and still developing, therefore more radiation is able to penetrate the brain.
It's not until around age 20 that your brain is fully developed.
As you move your cell phone away from your head, this radiation decreases rapidly. So, clearly, the further away from your body you can keep your phone, the better.
Incidentally, the manufacturer of one of the top-selling cell phones advises against direct body contact with their phones. This is what they say right on their website:
"To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free option, such as the built-in speakerphone, the supplied headphones, or other similar accessories. Carry phone at least 5mm away from your body to ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels."
One of the most important bits of advice I can give you is to avoid holding your phone directly against your head, especially while your call connects—which is when the power surge is greatest.
Using your speakerphone function or a safe headset to keep your phone a safe distance away from your body is a much better option.
You can search online and find study after study that says cell phone usage is safe. The wireless industry claims thatthousands of studies have failed to pinpoint adverse effects.
But, is that really true?
First you need to dig deep and find out who funded the study. If it's an industry-funded study, the results presented are just about guaranteed to favor the industry. Why would they publish results that didn't?
The earlier one starts using cell phones, the more harmful its potential effects can be
Dr. Henry Lai, a University of Washington scientist in cellular and molecular engineering, reviewed 85 papers on the DNA-damaging effects of cell phone radiation. He and his colleague had found from their own research that cell phone radiation could cause DNA damage in brain cells.
What did he find when he took a closer look at these studies?
A whopping three-fourths of the papers that showed no toxic effects were funded either by the wireless industry or the military. Eighty percent of those that showed potential negative effects were not linked to the industry.
Even Time reported:
Independent studies on cell phone radiation found dangers at more than twice the rate of industry-funded studies.
We're talking about a very lucrative industry here… The total revenue of the U.S. mobile wireless industry is over $171 billion!
Could it be that the wireless industry may be twisting science just enough to dodge or at least postpone regulation? They do have a lot at stake...
As cell phone usage around the world expands, evidence continues to mount against their safety, even though the industry still insists cell phones are safe.
Possibly the biggest blow to the industry came in 2011 when the International Agency for research on Cancer (IARC), an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), declared cell phones a Class B carcinogen.
This classification puts cell phones squarely in the same category of certain pesticides and heavy metals as well as engine exhaust.
But that's not all… There are now more than 20,000 publications in the scientific literature that show significant biological effects at exposures well within safety standards, including about 4,000 that include non-thermal effects.
Cell phones have been shown to harm your cells' mitochondria
Your body uses electrical fields to communicate between your cells. The electromagnetic fields emitted by the phones are far more damaging to your body because they interfere with your body's own cellular communication.
Another major way cell phones can potentially impact you is through their effect on your mitochondria within your cells.
Most of your cells have several hundred mitochondria. Over 90% of the energy that your body needs to function properly comes from the mitochondria, so their well-being is essential to your energy production.
Not only are they your body's primary source of energy, your cells' mitochondria determine the speed at which your body ages. If your mitochondria are working optimally, your body ages at a normal rate.
Researchers have discovered that the radiation from cell phones can harm your mitochondria, including flipping certain genes within the mitochondria.
As important as your mitochondria are to your health, this potential damaging effect on genes is very concerning to me.
Industry tries to assure us that third and fourth generation cell phones are safer in terms of non-ionizing radiation.
But are they really?
There's no proof that 3G or 4G is any safer, and if anything, the preliminary research suggests they may be even less safe.
Here's the problem…
Today's standards for radiofrequency emissions weren't designed for cell phones.
Rather, the current federal standards were developed to guard against thermal effects, but remember, as I explained above, that's not the issue. As we've already seen, most of the studies on cell phones show non-thermal effects.
What's worrisome now is that evidence is suggesting exposure to cell phone radiation can have biological effects without raising temperature.
Radio frequency waves from cell phones have also been shown to produce "stress" proteins in human cells, proteins that the body produces for self-protection.
I agree that getting rid of your cell phone is probably not an option these days. Today's cell phones are much more than phones – they're often your camera, video recorder, hand-held computer, and your lifeline to staying in touch with your work and family.
But with all this distressing data and questionable research, there must be something we can do to help minimize exposure. I believe there is…
Not only is direct cell phone contact dangerous, using one while you drive is like driving impaired
So what can you do to make cell phone usage safer for yourself and your family?
First and foremost, I recommend you consider not allowing your child or pre-teen to have a cell phone.
For teens, I encourage you to educate them on the dangers of holding or storing a cell phone close to their bodies and to remind them to use a safe headset if they need to make a call.
And, no one should ever use one while driving, including texting.
Here are some additional suggestions for minimizing your exposure to cell phone radiation:
Before I carefully studied this issue, I used my cell phone regularly and thought my off-the-shelf headset protected me from my phone's emissions.
However, I soon discovered that:
And then I saw this alarming evidence… Through the use of thermographic imaging, scientists can see the changes take place inside your brain when you use a cell phone directly against your head.
Instead of seeing "cool" blues and greens that are present in your brain when you're not exposed to cell phone radiation, scientists saw reds, yellows and oranges which graphically display internal heating of your tissues and cells after only 15 minutes of cell phone use.
Until recently, scientists believed that these changes and cell phone-related interference with brain waves and brain chemistry ended when the call ended. Now they know it can last for up to an hour.
Today I refuse to talk on any cell phone unless I am using a speakerphone or headset designed to reduce radiation. I simply refuse to ever put the phone next to my head.
For at least the last 15 years, I've been convinced that cell phone radiation is a real concern for all of us. That's why I first introduced the RF3 Headset to help you minimize your radiation exposure.

Courtyard Custom Homes – Mission Statement
Courtyard Custom Homes has managed to consistently exceed our clients' expectations by conducting our business on the principles of: customer service, high quality of product, and value for the homeowner.
Building relationshipsFrom start to finish, building a custom home can often take a year to complete. A relationship based on trust and honesty goes a long way to ensuring a successful and enjoyable project for our customers. Through open and interactive communication, we strive to ensure that we are working toward a common goal. Our commitment to building long lasting relationships with our clients even after the home is complete is what seperates us from everyone else.
CraftmanshipAll homes are not built the same. Sometimes people will choose their builder strictly based on the lowest price. Buyers beware, these types of builders are using "builder grade" materials. At first glance it may look acceptable to the untrained eye, but in a few short years the home will wear and show its age many times over. All projects by Courtyard Custom Homes only use the highest quality materials and subcontractors available. From hand picking our selections from vendors, to following strict code enforcement guidelines we are constantly monitoring the entire building process. This hands on approach is the only way to guarantee the highest quality home built from the ground up.
ValueAt Courtyard Custom Homes we don't just hire the cheapest subcontractor so we can maximize profits like some of our competitors do. We believe in a team unity approach to building your home. Our subcontractors endure a rigid approval process by us to ensure not only that they are the best at what they do, but when problems due arise they can work hand in hand together to resolve them. That teamwork philosophy creates a smooth building process and achieves the highest quality custom home. We work together with the client to discuss effectiveness of designs, and cost solutions. This process allows us to build the best home possible at an affordable price.
StyleYour custom home is meant to reflect your lifestyle and your tastes. We pride ourselves on understanding our clients needs and wants and then doing our best to deliver a home that compliments you. We stand by you during the design process with an architect, and through our extensive experience can advise you on unwise choices or unnecessary expenses that can detract from the pleasure of building your home.
ServiceWe take great pride in knowing what it means to be professional. It can be as easy as showing up on time or returning phone calls and e-mails, but sometimes it seems these courtesies are forgotten. These "little" things can build over time and leave the customer with a bad taste in their mouth. We strive everyday to hold our customers needs first and know how important it is for our employees and subcontractors to conduct themselves in a professional manner everyday. That's our commitment to you.
