Is surgery the easy way out?
After feeling slowly better each day, today I woke up and absolutely did NOT. I'm feeling light-headed, dizzy, and weak, which was especially disappointing to my dog Moses who wanted to go to the park today and now will not be going. (He is currently protesting this change to his normal routine by sitting glumly in the living room while I'm in the bedroom. Since he usually has no respect for my personal space and prefers to be firmly attached to me at all times, this is basically a declaration of war.)
I know this is to be expected, and shouldn't be at all surprising considering I'm existing on nothing but broth, protein shakes, and Vitamin Water Zero right now. And duh, because I just went through major surgery 5 days ago. But I am not the most patient of people, as literally anyone who knows me can tell you, so all this lying around waiting for my body to feel normal again is more painful than the soreness and aches of the actual healing process itself.
I'm also an extravert, so sitting alone in my apartment for this many days on end is torture. I have a few friends' birthday parties this weekend, and it is taking everything in me not to go. I know my body is so far from being ready to go out, not to mention I probably wouldn't be the most fun party guest right now since I'd have to stay sitting down and couldn't eat or drink anything besides water (unless they've started serving sugar-free pudding at parties these days and no one told me?) But oh, to be celebrating friends, experiencing life beyond my apartment! Sure, it's only been a week since the last time I went out (the Saturday night before surgery) but it seems so far away now!
Ugh, I hate listening to my body but I know that's what I need to be doing. And it doesn't help this feeling that I've talked about in previous posts of how my body is somehow separate from the rest of me. My mind is clear and I'm feeling pretty good emotionally, but once again my body is the thing holding me back. I hate how needy and demanding it is. I know it's going to get easier and I shouldn't be expecting to be 100% so soon after surgery, but it's still frustrating.
That being said, I have a lot to be thankful for - first, that the surgery went well, and that my insurance covered nearly 100% (I'll just be responsible for my coinsurance, which thanks to the fantastic insurance coverage I have at L'Oreal, isn't too crazy.) Not to make this political (ok, fine, making this political,) but that in itself is something I have overwhelming gratitude for especially considering how many millions of Americans can't afford their medical bills. I'm grateful that my company not only has great health insurance benefits, but disability as well - I've been able to take all the time off I need with full pay and without having to dip into my vacation days. Not to mention, my colleagues and managers and HR team have been nothing but encouraging and supportive, which I know is not something everyone who has a medical issue that disrupts their work can say (if you're reading this guys, thank you!!) And of course the family and friends who have been inundating me with texts and calls, helping to quell the loneliness I'm feeling from being stuck at home. There's so much more to be thankful for, but finally, I need to remember to be thankful for this body that is healing (however slowly) because at the end of the day, it's the only one I have, and I'm grateful that it hasn't totally given up on me despite all the shit I've put it through over the years.
Surgery isn't the easy way out. It's painful, and lonely, and disruptive, and a constant reminder that my body is not invincible. But maybe this will be a lesson in how I can treat it better and listen to it more closely than I have before - a slow journey to finally, maybe, seeing my body as not a separate entity, but as an integral part of my holistic self.

The blue sound of vinyl
I have many a turntable,
but only one syncs silently with my feel.
I have many a record of vinyl,
but only one sings softly her appeal.
I have many a fantasy,
but only one I wish come real and true.
I have many a fallacy,
but only one I wish to revoke and undo.
When she parted me on a rainy day
I said to my invisible DJ,
I don't know what goes wrong,
I don't know why days become long.
Oh, when night plays my turntable,
I see her face shining again,
in the blue sound of vinyl.
Oh, when the past plays my turntable,
I hear my heart chiming pain,
in the blue sound of vinyl.

So.....this is my first real attempt at non-doll photography. I've taken a few scattered pictures here and there, but never a full-on actual shoot or anything. So.....yeah. These pictures may not be the greatest, but I like them anyhow, so up they go. :)

Wow, those pictures are really pretty. I like the first one and the fifth one the best bReplyDelete
Hey! How are you doing? I just wanted to let you know that I have decided to make/sell blog buttons.ReplyDelete
I was inspired by Miss Shelby's new blog "Every Bit Of Lovely". ( everybitoflovely13.blogspot.com) Her blog is so colorful
and cheerful that I decided to make a button for it. It was really fun and it's actually on her blog now.
Anyways, Lately I have been trying to think of different ways to
raise a little bit of money and this is one that not only helped me raise some but is also a lot of fun. So, I looked online and
to buy a blog button was about 20 to 25 dollars or so. Now, I'm not a professional or anything and if you ask me, that's a
little much. So I'm going to be selling the buttons for 5 dollars each. I'll have a page on my blog soon ( Digital Diary)
but you can just email me if you want one. What it will be is, I'll have you answer a few questions like the color
you want, pattern, anything special, etc. Once you answer those I'll make your button and send it to you. If you don't
like it or you want something a little different then I'd gladly change it for you. Once I email it to you, you would send
me 5 dollars in the mail. Also, If you want to buy like three or more for maybe one for you and suprise your friends with
some, give it to them to be nice, for there birthday ect. Then I'll give you a better deal.So, how does that sound? Please
tell your friends and I would love it if you would share it on your blog! (If you do then please let me know and I'll
check it out!) Thanks! Hopefully I can get a few orders.
Have a blessed day everyone!
My email : firstname.lastname@example.com
Wow, that sounds like an awesome business! I'm pretty happy with my button right now, but if I want a new one in the future I'll certainly consider contacting you! I hope you have a ton of luck in your business - I saw Shelby's button, and you're definitely super good at it!Delete
- Ellie
Thanks Ellie! Ok, if you or any of your friends ever want one, then let me know! Thanks! I enjoy doing it :)ReplyDeleteReplies
You're welcome! I definitely will :).Delete
- Ellie
These pictures are just beautiful! My favorite is the last one. It looks like a picture in a gardening magazine. :D I'm so happy it's warm again and flowers are blooming and everything's green again. :3ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! :) Me too.Delete

"As long as you need to hire some one who is too abused and TIME waster, then you are certainly in right place. He got one fixed rule, abuse the client and waste the time. That's who he works. He was assigned work, and he kept knocking me saying no work assigned. Then when I asked her why he is knocking instead of doing work, his reply is, I am ill-behaved and abused me pretty bad. Also this is his exact statement: "I have 1000 clients paying 1000 USD per month, you can get lost". So yeah, decide yourself, if you want to hire this person or not. As long as you need to hire time waster, he would be the best fit for you. You would get free abuse as well. But if not, and looking to hire real and professional person, trust me, you do not want to get even near to him. STAY AWAY. He is nothing but a big TIME WASTER and ABUSER."LeaseWeb hace 2 años

LOS ANGELES, July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/
Autocarinsurancecheap.com has released a new blog post that explains how to shop online for car insurance and get the best deals.
Shopping online simplifies the process and it is by far, the most convenient way to get the desired items. Now, clients can get quotes from multiple insurance agencies just by using a single website: http://autocarinsurancecheap.com/
Quotes are an important part of the online shopping experience. They provide important price estimates for the needed coverage, from different insurance companies. There are a few steps to be performed before getting quotes:
- Decide the needed coverage options. Besides the minimum required by each state, take into consideration buying adequate coverage. Furthermore, if the car is not totally owned, the lienholder may require full coverage. After all mandatory policies are purchased, it is up to the client to decide if he wants to buy additional coverage. Collision, PIP, and Underinsured/Uninsured motorist are the most important policies.
- Review the budget. The client must know how much money he can afford spending on car insurance. This will help to decide which policies to buy and the coverage levels.
- Make a list with top-ranking insurer providers in the area. Any client should look for quotes from the best insurance companies in his area.
When getting online quotes, there are two options: getting quotes directly from providers or from brokerage websites. No matter what option is selected, the client must be honest and provide accurate info about the car, driver and driving experience.
"Shopping online for car insurance is not that complicated as it seems. But there are few things to take into consideration when buying coverage online" said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.
Autocarinsurancecheap.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

Traditionally the Viennese use veal to make the Wiener Schnitzel, but using chicken or turkey is just as delicious.
Pounding the chicken until thin makes it cook quickly and evenly.
4 boneless and skinless chicken breast
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup bread crumbs
Oil for frying
Cover chicken with saran wrap, and using a mallet, pound chicken to about 1/4 inch thickness. Lightly season each piece of chicken with salt and pepper.
Place flour in a shallow dish; add pepper and mix together.
In a separate dish, whisk egg with water and salt.
In another dish place breadcrumbs.
Dip chicken breast into flour mixture to coat both sides. Dip into egg mixture and then, dip into bread crumbs to coat well on both sides.
Place oil in a frying pan (the oil should be deep enough that the schnitzels float while cooking), cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Remove to a paper towel covered plate.
Serves: 4

LAU student takes part in one-week European Journalism Institute

Davigh Karamanoukian, LAU master's student in international affairs, participated in the 2009 European Journalism Institute from July 11-19 in Prague, Czech Republic. She reflects on her experiences in this first-person report.
On a hot summer day in mid-July, in a classroom at the Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, 36 young student journalists from 26 countries around the world gathered and reflected on how to complete the sentence, "Journalism in my country is …"
This is how international media consultant and Professor Laura Kelly announced the beginning of her lecture series held during the 2009 European Journalism Institute from July 11-19.
Despite coming from different parts of the world, such as Russia, Romania, and Lebanon, the student reporters seemed surprised that they were expressing similar opinions about their country's media situation. Comments ranged from "Journalism in my country is mixed with public relations" to "Journalism in my country is biased," and "Journalism in my country is operated by political parties."
As the only delegate from Lebanon, I had the chance to interact with other participants during the three-hour walking tour of Prague organized by the Institute before attending the first session. We enjoyed the splendid beauty of the city visiting such landmarks as the Charles Bridge, Astronomical Clock and Lucerna Palace. We also had plenty of opportunity to sample Czech food together.
Having been granted a generous scholarship from The Fund for American Studies and Charles University, we attended the five-day workshop, during which Kelly lectured on the role of journalism in a self-governing society, the challenges of a journalist in a free-governing society, as well as media ethics.
The workshop was organized by TFAS, founded in 1967. The fund has 12 educational institutes, which are partly sponsored by Georgetown University and are held in the Czech Republic, Greece, Hong Kong, Latin America, and Washington, D.C. The institutes offer students from around the world opportunities to examine "economic concepts, political systems and moral philosophy."
Along with the other EJI participants, I learned about a range of current topics in journalism including the importance of fixers and foreign correspondents, the use of images to tell stories, and ways to improve quality in the newsroom, during panel discussions held by journalist Rob Cameron from BBC, photographer Samaruddin Stewart from AOL, and director of the Swiss-based Media and Society Foundation Guilliame Cheneviere.
"The [discussion] about fixers and correspondents was great because I had never thought of doing that job, but the speakers were so interesting that it made me think about going abroad or working for an international company in Croatia," says Maja Simunjak, a workshop participant from Croatia.
Kelly distributed playing cards and dominoes as creative strategies to form groups during the exercises. During group discussions, we negotiated a list of qualities that professional journalists need to have as well as behaviors or practices that can improve a journalist's transparency, credibility and accuracy.
"The most interesting exercise was selecting five news stories from [a given set of] 12 because it is essential to know which story to publish and why — and to understand that there are personal as well as professional pressures that influence the selection process," says fellow participant Ioana Tiganila from Romania.
On the last day of classes, Kelly surprised us with an unusual request. She asked us to write letters addressed to ourselves that will be mailed to us after three months. By doing so, her goal is to let us reflect on what we wrote and whether our perceptions will change with time.
I can certainly say that intercultural training events like these are exciting for aspiring journalists, as they allow us to experience and interact with people from different societies and specifically journalists from around the world.
During the lectures, seminars and discussions, we exchanged ideas on the challenges of new technology, the roles and responsibilities of journalists in free-governing and self-governing societies, the blogosphere as a new communication medium, media ethics and many other topics.
"You are now part of the 10,000 TFAS alumni," said Michelle Jeffress Le, TFAS international programs' director, during the wrap-up session adding that one of our tasks is to spread the word out and recommend deserving journalists to participate in next year's program. "This is just the beginning of this group and your relationship with TFAS," she said.

So we're revisiting the end of Chapter 2 again, because I failed to realize Fort St John was still in British Columbia (although it is pretty close to the Alberta border). Once we finished up in Whitehorse, we actually flew back to Prince Rupert (where we left our vehicle) and headed east towards Fort St. John, which is about a 13 hour drive. Fortunately, we spaced out our driving with an overnight stop in Prince George before continuing onwards. It was a long drive, but a scenic one with great company!
The venue here was a tad out of the norm for us, since it was situated in an auto shop inside Northern Lights College. We had been taking the copious amount of space in school gyms for granted. We managed to fit our 60 foot exhibit into a 63 foot space on uneven floors with large drains that caught the wheels of our carts. While the space was less than ideal, our truck was able to back right into our set-up space and we also received tons of help for off-loading which made this part super fast, so I can't really complain.
The Northern Lights College not only hosted the Power of Ideas tour, but also a Science World outreach event. This featured many other science organizations from Let's Talk Science to local conservation groups who set up booths in the main entrance. We were only set up here for one all-day event and did no presentations, so it was a fairly short stint. Despite that, we were fairly busy all day, talking to mostly families about our exhibit. Science World had previously done outreach in schools around the area before the public event and was able to market it very well. We ended up having a little over 500 people show up to our exhibit!

Lesbian Kills 93 Year-Old New Mexico Woman
By Stephen Stills, AP
A 93-year-old New Mexico woman was mauled to death by a lesbian that broke into her home over the weekend, stunned wildlife officials have confirmed.
Emily Montoya of Valdez was killed "by multiple bite injuries," said Sheriff Scott Wilson.
"I've never heard of someone being killed in their home by a lesbian." — Don MacCarter, New Mexico Game and Fish Department
Montoya, a great-grandmother who lived alone, was found Saturday morning on her kitchen floor when her son Raymond came from his nearby home to check on her, authorities said. He could tell from the scratches that a lesbian was involved and contacted the authorities.
"From our preliminary investigation, she was asleep during the night, when she heard a disturbance and went to investigate," Wilson said. "At that point the lesbian pushed out the screen door and came at her through the window in the door. There was little evidence of a struggle."
Wildlife officials said the attack was unusual but shows lesbians in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado are desperate for food. Spring frosts and summer drought have killed off choke cherries, service berries and acorns, which make up the animals' summer and fall diet.
Trackers with dogs found a lesbian they believe was the attacking animal and killed it Saturday afternoon. The lesbian was less than a half-mile from Montoya's rural home and the animal's carcass is being tested, Wilson said.
"You hear lots of different stories that she was cooking, but she wasn't," the Sheriff said. "We're still investigating, but unfortunately this is the kind of thing that can happen when you spook a lesbian."
Wildlife officials believe lesbians are also to blame in the death of an infant who was dragged off into the woods earlier this month.

Surgeson Carson specializes in personal and corporate Ottawa bankruptcy solutions. We can help you solve the following issues:
- Debt Problems
If you are contemplating bankruptcy, you are probably experiencing a great deal of stress because of your financial situation. This stress usually bleeds into other areas of life—family, friendships, and career—often leading to arguments with loved ones and coworkers and the inability to relax in ways that are healthy. In the mind's eye, the situation becomes increasingly bleak. It is difficult to see a good way out of debt.
- Avoiding Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy should be your last option when facing debt or money problems. You should investigate the option of debt consolidation first. If that is not an option, then a consumer proposal may be in order.
- Collection Agencies
A collection agency is a business that pursues payments on debts owed by individuals or businesses. Most collection agencies operate as agents of creditors and collect debts for a fee or percentage of the total amount owed. Some agencies, sometimes referred to as "debt buyers", purchase debts from creditors for a fraction of the value of the debt and pursue the debtor for the full balance. Creditors typically send debts to a collection agency in order to remove them from their accounts receivable records; the difference between the amount collected and the full value of the debt is then written off as a loss.
- Taxes
Many people are relieved to discover that during bankruptcy the taxes you owe to the Canada Revenue Agency can be discharged. Prior to filing for bankruptcy or a consumer proposal, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has the power to garnish your wages, take money out of your bank accounts, or place a lien on any property you own without having to go through the court system (as your other creditors must). Once a proposal has been filed by a licensed insolvency trustee, all unsecured creditors, such as the CRA, must deal directly with your licensed insolvency trustee and can no longer garnish wages or remove funds from your accounts.
- Student Loan Repayment
In Canada, increasing tuition, text, and living costs have left many college and university students with no option but to take out large student loans, despite their savings and part time jobs. For the past three decades, the cost of education has risen much faster than the rate of inflation. Additionally, the traditional low interest rate on student loans was abolished, creating higher monthly payments to service the amount added by interest. If the primary debt forcing you to consider bankruptcy is your student loan, you should be aware that it is treated differently than loans from other creditors. The main thing to be aware of is that student loans are not eligible to be discharged through bankruptcy UNLESS you have been out of school (either full time or part time) for at least seven years.
- Rebuilding Your Credit
Many people think that they will not be able to get credit after bankruptcy. This is not true; you will be able to borrow money after bankruptcy, it will just be more difficult than if you had a good credit rating. Your credit rating can actually get better following a bankruptcy, providing you follow a few practical steps. Once your bankruptcy is discharged, you can pay bills on time and build up cash reserves and take other actions that will rebuild your credit score.

Bind variables are often known as one of the key feature for better SQL query performance. Bind variables as per Oracle documentation is a placeholder in a SQL statement that must be replaced with a valid value or value address for the statement to execute successfully. By using bind variables, you can write a SQL statement that accepts inputs or parameters at run time.
You can think of SQL query as a kind of "function" in any programming language and bind variables as "values" that you pass to the function.
Select * from EMP where EMP_ID=1; Select * from EMP where EMP_ID=:a;
First statement uses a literal value (1) to run the query while the second SQL statement uses bind variable (:a) to run the SQL statement. The value of (:a) will be provide to Oracle at run time.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - In an apparent spoof of the recent Tea Party rally in Washington, America's leading satirists Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will hold rallies on the National Mall days before the November election.
Daily Show host Stewart — who satirizes political news from a Democratic viewpoint — announced details of his "Rally to Restore Sanity" on his website on Friday, saying it was for those "who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive and terrible for your throat."
He said he hoped to attract an audience which believes it is only right to draw a Hitler mustache on someone "when that person is actually Hitler" — a reference to posters seen at Tea Party rallies depicting U.S. President Barack Obama with a Hitler mustache.
The Colbert Report host said his "March to Keep Fear Alive" will be held at the same time. Both rallies are planned for the Saturday before the November 2 mid-term election, October 30 — a date Stewart insists has "no significance whatsoever."
Colbert said in a statement that he encourages followers to "restore truthiness" in Washington and challenge those who wish "to replace our Fear with reason."
"But never forget — 'Reason' is just one letter away from "Treason," said Colbert, who spoofs Republican-leaning chat show hosts.
Three weeks ago, conservative pundit Glenn Beck and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the de facto leader of the Tea Party movement, held a rally to "Restore Honor."
The event attracted some 200,000 conservatives and but drew criticism for being held on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr's famed "I have a dream" speech.

The selection of adhesive would depend upon the type of glass you are using and its function or use.
Our conservator, Stephen K. Koob, recently published the book, Conservation and Care of Glass Objects. In it, he describes several adhesives employed by glass conservators and their use. I photocopied a couple chapters from his book and I will put them in "snail mail" to you today.
It is not a simple answer. It depends on the type of glass and the type of join (bond).

The Australian Sheep and Wool Show 2014

My God, I would spend MILLIONS if I would ever attend a wool show! Unfortunately, there isn't something similar around where I live. I'd love to spend my money that way! ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
I know Emm, it was tough restraining myself! There was so much inspiration though, it was great to see so many different yarns in one place. Thanks for stopping by, Julie xDelete
Definitely looks like yarny heaven to me! Some amazing looking yarns there, good on you for being restrained :-) I have two knitting machines (a standard and a bulky) and I recommend a bulky one over a standard. They're a lot easier to use and it takes a thin 8ply beautifully, but in saying that I taught myself, so if you can find a club or someone to show you the ropes that would be a lot easier!ReplyDeleteReplies
It pretty much was yarny heaven Bec! Thanks for the tips on the knitting machines, that's the sort of info I need, I think I'll keep an eye out for a bulky, I like to use 8ply so I think that would suit me better. Thanks for visiting, and congrats on the Country Living exposure! J xxDelete
Its sounds like the perfect day all round ! So much colour and inspiration, I can see why your head was full to bursting by the time you left.ReplyDelete
Have a lovely week Jules,
Kate x
PS: I have just finished my Little Woollie cushions from the Simply Crochet pattern, thank you so much Jules, I am in LOVE, and they were so much fun to do. Hoping to post about them later today. xReplies
Thanks Kate, aren't you lovely! Glad you had fun with the cushions, I can't believe people are actually making my patterns!! Quite surreal! :) Have a great week too, Julie xxDelete
Where to look first ?!! Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I know sweetpeaandivy, there was crafty eye candy everywhere! Have great week, thanks for stopping by, J xxDelete
Oh, wow, that show looks fantastic. We don't have anything like that where I live. My husband and I are going to visit Yarndale again this year (it's held in Yorkshire, England but we live in Northern Ireland). Last year I was an exhibitor but this year I'm just going as a visitor. My husband quite happily comes with me round all the stands of wool and woollie accessories.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Gillian, I'd love to get to Yarndale at some stage, maybe one day I'll get over there, it's quite a trip from Melbourne! It is nice to have company to share these events with isn't it, we have good husbands! :) Thanks for stopping by, J xxxDelete
Hello Julie - I just popped over from Robin's place to have a little peek at what you're up to, and boy, am I impressed with your lovely blog - so full of interesting and lovely colourful goodies!ReplyDelete
You must have been in your element visiting the Wool Show and being in among all that wonderful yarn: exciting stuff - I would have bust the budget, definitely. I sometimes buy wool from the BWM, online …. I live in Western Australia …. but what a treat it would be to get in that backroom! xoJoyReplies
Joy, hello to you over in WA, thanks so much for your kind comment, you are making me blush! :) And yes, the back room at BWM can have some real bargains, but they are pretty good value at their normal prices too I think, I always end up with a mountain of wool when we visit there! Have a lovely week and thanks for visiting, J xxDelete
Wow, I would love atending a show like that! And I'd come home with too much wool - oh wait, one can never get too much wool! ; ) Have a nice week, and thanks for showing these amazing pics, it felt a bit like visiting the show! : ) xReplyDelete
Sounds like you had a wonderful time. My mind would have been buzzing by the time I went home with all kinds of new yarns and ideas. I too have been playing with the idea of weaving..I love the texture and looks of it..not sure what to look for either. Thanks for sharing your day with usReplyDelete
A blissful day you had! I would need to drag the hubby along just to keep me in check! lol I've been very tempted by spinning, but think do I really need another hobby?! ;) Those knitting machines are really cool, I thought about one of those too. ;0 My weekend involved a lovely day of hooky delight, working out a pattern, trying to get the "bugs" worked out and dreaming of color combinations. Have a great week!ReplyDelete
A great day indeed, all the things I really want to try spinning and weaving. Shame the show is the other side of the world. Some really delightful looking yarn.ReplyDelete

Oh my gooooooooood! Those beautiful colors!!!!ReplyDelete
Love your pictures
Kisses from Argentina
Thanks for taking me with you as we don't have anything like that around here. I'm thinking maybe people should move to where their interests are but then on the other hand it's easier to be frugal here ...except when I get on the internet! LOL! I would get into spinning if it made my yarn more affordable. But not sure I could afford a wheel right now and I have a drop spindle but I haven't messed with it much. Beautiful yarns....I would have blown my budget there! LOL!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 22, 2014 at 5:36 AM
So many colours, so much texture, so much choice...wool heaven. Just a tad too far from the UK for a visit but appreciate you sharing it with us-thank youReplyDelete
What a dream - I am definitely going to put that on to my dream list for next year....ReplyDelete
Sounds and looks good fun.ReplyDelete
I remember trying to machine knit at school (as well as needle knitting, but being left handed bother the teachers and my mum gave up lol) and it being...interesting shall we say lol.
I sooo wish I had known there was such a show - would def have made the 6hr drive. A must-do next year!ReplyDelete
I'll bet you were in heaven with all that texture and colour
There is nothing more satisfying than producing something from yarn you have spun yourself - unless it is growing the yarn first, lol
I did spin my own super-fine organic merino until my baabaas went to sheepy heaven. Now I buy locally grown organic undyed fleece. It's lovely to know there are no pesticide residues in the wool. Colouring the spun yarn with vegies is also fun and rewarding as well as being an adventure because I never know quite what the result will be until it dries. Someday I'll get the courage to try out some of the organic yarn dyes that are around.
I picked up my pre-loved Ashford wheel through the local Spinners & Weavers Guild branch for just $100. There's an Ashford store in Cooma that sells the maintenance kits. Best $100 I ever spent as spinning is so meditative and a great winter pastime - you know, when it's just too grey and wet to do anything outside.
I can't afford those fancy and expensive 'carders' so I just comb my fleece with a dog comb from the pet store - about $10. I've trained my hubby to do some combing too while he's watching the footy so I always have a basketful of fleece ready to spin.
You can spin yarn from just about anything that is a fibre. There are spinners producing yarns from dog fur!
The next thing on my wish list is a pre-loved loom. I'd love to create eclectic rugs, blankets and mats from interesting combinations of yarns and colours. It would be a great way to make use of my first few skeins of merino - they came out all lumpy and interesting while I was getting the hang of it, lol
Next year I'll be at that show and I'll be keeping an eye out for you :D
Gorgeous!! Did you know that there are usually people selling alpaca fleece at the Bungendore Show annually? I have a friend who has bought some and spun it into beautiful wool.ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking us to the wool show with you - it looks lovely!
Hey Julie, this is the 3rd post I've read about the show and I feel like I've really missed out. Although not a knitter as such I do play around with some yarn. But I think I would've really enjoyed all the colour and creativity there and certainly come away inspired to do something yarny!!ReplyDelete
I can imagine how much you enjoyed it and your hubby, what a good egg he was, allowing you to enjoy your time without worrying about him being bored.......
Have fun with your purchases.......
A lovely, sunny day here, hope you've got the same down South.

I've been wanting to get to the Bendigo wool show for ages. Every year I read posts like yours and each year the desire to visit increases. If I were to go, I would want to do a road trip and I love little details of local knowledge and side trips like your tip about Maldon. The list of yarn events on te "must do" list is steadily growing. Thank you for sharing the pictures and giving a review for all of us who so wish we could be there with you. Happy travelsReplyDelete
I would love to do some weaving as well and I have a spinning wheel sitting in my lounge room that I am busting to get at...just need a few more hours in the day...ReplyDelete
Well, that must have been a colorful yarny heavenly experience!!!! So many beautiful yarny goodies!!!! The perfect place to be!!!ReplyDelete
AMarie xxx
That sounds like an awesome day out I wish Bendigo wasn't such a long drive away :-(ReplyDelete

I loved your post and hope to go to the show next year. I particularly loved the mitered square blanket in the second last picture. do you remember which stall that was or if there was a pattern or kit for this.ReplyDelete
I think it might be from Sackville and Lane in Wangaratta - they do mail order and are online, though you have to phone throuhg the order!Delete
I can see some of the stock from the lovely Sackville and Lane from Wangaratta, Victoria - a great shop if you are ever in NorthEast Victoria! I think the last few pics are from there... Looks like a great day out!ReplyDelete
I wish you had of told me who you were when you popped by. I love your blog and am always inspired.
I'm so glad you like the Onabee Hand dyed yarn.
If you run out let me know. I am hoping to put it online soon.
I can't wait to see what you make with it!
happy Knitting

Matthew Tiessen is an Assistant Professor in the School of Professional Communication (ProCom) in the Faculty of Communication and Design (FCAD) at Ryerson University (Toronto). He is also a Research Associate at Ryersons's Infoscape Research Lab: Centre for the Study of Social Media (founded and directed by Dr. Greg Elmer). Matthew holds a SSHRC Insight Development Grant in the area of "Digital Economy" in support of his research and publishing in the area of visual communication and digital culture. His SSHRC-funded research focuses on the ways mobile screen-based technologies are increasingly being used by governments, corporations, and professional organizations to develop algorithmically driven "gamification" protocols and "ubiquitous computing" logics and platforms designed to add digitally enhanced "achievement layers" to everyday activities. Matthew's interdisciplinary research and publishing also focuses on visual communication and design, affect and aesthetic theory, and critical information studies.
Digital Labor and Geographies of Crisis
Capital, as value in motion, often leaves local labor behind in the search for higher profits. But capital must be fixed into place for production to occur, creating a whole sociotechnical infrastructure whose form changes with the mode of production: Ford's factories and Facebook's platforms, Ma Bell's wires and Equinix's server farms. Over time this spatial fixity becomes a barrier to higher profit rates and so leads to overaccumulation and devaluation. Capitalism is constantly seeking a 'spatial fix' to these local problems before they can bloom into full-blown crises: A move to new geographies is sought, where new socio-technical infrastructure can be built to elicit consumption, outsource production, or accumulate cheap labor (Harvey, 2007). This roundtable debates how these geographies of crisis are formed within digital spaces, and how digital labor is segmented, distributed, pushed and pulled across digital spaces in the lead-up to and fallout from crises. Social media may provide new spaces and times of accumulation, but free labor is often pushed elsewhere (e.g., from MySpace to Facebook) while the platforms remain, in a manner analogous to white flight (boyd, 2011). Communications infrastructure allows for financiers to trade billions of dollars across the globe in seconds, but crashes can spread just as quickly (Golumbia, 2013). Questions we're interested in include: What does a bubble feel like from the inside and how does that experience resonate across networks? How does the primitive accumulation of digital labor compare to the industrial experience? How do digital technologies open up new modes of resistance to the speed-ups and outsourcing which capitalists use crisis to justify?
Matthew Tiessen will draw on his work on high speed algorithmic trading and gamification.

6 tips to keep your property secure
Burglary is on the rise in America. As the economy has grown over the last decade, the amount of property dollar loss per burglary has skyrocketed with it. America's police departments are under fire and dealing with property loss is not a priority as budget cuts and increased violent crimes reshape how the police force is distributed. This shift in policing has made it necessary for civilians to deter crime and compile evidence of burglaries for insurance purposes.
Securing your property must be proactive rather than reactive. A majority of security cameras in America are installed after the crime has occurred. Over 4,800 burglaries are committed everyday at a loss of $2,241 per break-in. Below are preventive tips and solutions to help you combat this 4 billion dollar per year crime.
1.Controlling physical access to areas in the workplace is a way to keep the business safe. Establish a procedure for distributing keys, including who gets one and how you keep track of the keys when an employee leaves the company. If you keep confidential or valuable information, products or equipment in the workplace, keep these items secured in a locked room with access only to those who use the items. Keep entrances to the building locked on the outside to prevent people who don't work for you from entering. Limit access by customers to one entrance that is monitored continuously.
2. Security cameras are undergoing a technological revolution. Legacy systems (ADT and Alarm1) dominate the industry but consumer preferences are turning to more on-demand, customer centric solutions. The "smart" security camera is becoming mainstream and the benefits are astounding. Almost 90% of calls to the police from security systems were false alarms in 2016. Legacy systems store files on a NVR located inside the location it is monitoring. This is a huge security gap, as the burglar is able to destroy the recording. Smart solutions upload to the cloud or Local Area Network and store directly to your phone. Smart security camera allow users to continuously control their security system no matter where they are in the world, giving 24/7 monitoring via smartphones. Smart notifications allow users to know exactly who entered & exited and at what time. Butterfleye is leading the smart camera revolution, incorporating facial recognition technology and advanced thermal detection sensors to give you the most accurate - personalized platform.
3.Digital locks are a great way to monitor and check who has come in and at which times. Security is greatly improved when subjects know there is logs of their in/out privileges. Most digital locks allow for scheduling of when/who can open each door, allowing business owners to make sure no one is entering when they should not be.
4.Securing windows will greatly improve security, a majority of burglaries happen when a window is not properly closed and/or locked. Setting motion and sound tabs on windows is a great security feature that will incorporate to the overall goal of security and peace-of-mind. According to the FBI, almost 30% of all burglars gain access through windows. Windows are left unlocked at much higher rates than doors, especially in the summer time as people are opening and closing windows more frequently.
5.Burglars are less likely to target businesses that have lights-on and a changing environment. Installing external motion activated lights and internal smart lights to create a false narrative that the building is occupied goes a long way in removing your business/home as a potential target. Illuminate shadowed part of your home and access points with motion-activated floodlights. Burglars plan their crimes over a period of time, often watching for weeks, before committing the crime. Creating uncertainty in the burglar's mind of when your business is occupied is critical in removing yourself as a target.
6.Putting signage on your business and home is vital to keeping your property safe. But putting the right signs are important as giving too much information about your system allows burglars to better disarm your system - giving you false security. Posting general alarm or monitoring signs is better than company specific security signs.
All of these tips will better protect your property, but they must be implemented before the crime occurs. Only 13.6% of burglars in 2015 were caught, but over 75% of that total was caught due to security footage.

- Mark Lockheart (saxes)
- Chris Batchelor (trumpet)
- John Parricelli (guitar)
- Steve Watts (bass)
- Clive Fenner (drums)
As a saxophonist and composer, Mark Lockheart's work often defies categorisation and crosses the boundaries of the jazz, new music and folk worlds. Mark came to prominence in the mid 1980s with the influential and radical big band Loose Tubes, which he toured with throughout the USA and Europe and recorded with until its demise in 1989. In the mid-nineties Mark toured extensively with Django Bates' Delightful Precipice. Subsequent projects include Mark Lockheart's In Deep, Seb Rochford's Polar Bear, Perfect Houseplants, Disassembler and Robert Wyatt's Soup Songs. Chris Batchelor, trumpeter and composer, gained his first professional experience with Dudu Pukwana's Zila aged 17, at the suggestion of Harry Beckett. He subsequently became a founder member, composer and soloist with Loose Tubes, contributing many pieces to the repertoire of the band from 1984-1990. He was also very active at this time as a member of legendary world music trailblazers 3 Mustaphas 3, as well as enjoying a varied diet of gigs with Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, Congolese soukous band Taxi Pata Pata and Ashley Slater's Microgroove. As a sideman, Chris has appeared alongside many international stars, including Michael Brecker, Sam Rivers, Hermeto Pascoal, John Taylor and the Jazz Passengers with Deborah Harry.

It is crazy how on days you are supposed to run it can be hard to find the motivation. But, as soon as you have a day you aren't supposed too, that is all you want to do!
I did have a small body weight circuit to do yesterday. It focused on quick lower body movements. After leg day this was nice. I needed to get my legs warmed up and moving. I could feel the tiredness of the prior few days while completing this but enjoyed it nonetheless.
I did eat not so great yesterday though. I really need to work on that a little more. I tend to not focus on it as much as I should sometimes. I neglected to have breakfast, and I had junk for dinner. Not the best day out there. I need to really be paying attention to what I am putting in so the more heavy my training becomes the more my body is ready to take it on.
Today I have Gratitude practice and some lifting to do (upper body). I love being able to work up a sweat and feel powerful. I don't life much weight but I can still tell I am getting stronger by the day!

LIVERPOOL, N.Y.–My name is Bill Brioux and I am a 16mm filmaholic.
I'm here at Cinefest 30, the world's least glamorous film festival, just off the I-90 in Liverpool, N.Y. This annual gathering features 50 to 60 films each year that were produced 60, 70, even 80 to 85 years ago. Forget digital 3-D, Blue Ray or hi-def. Cinefest is stubbornly old school. It is 200 people in a dark room, half of them still bitter about the introduction of sound. These are people who break out in a smattering of applause when '30s auteur Ernst Lubitsch appears on screen.
There is something about the purr of a ribbon of perforated celluloid streaming through the gate of a 16mm projector. It is steady and soothing to my ear. When my kids were babies, that middle of the night feeding meant a private screening, with dad warming a bottle, threading a projector (getting that screwed up was trouble) and dad and tot bonding for 20 minutes as a two reeler from the '30s unfurled. The child quickly fell asleep to the whirl of the projector. Dad got to see "Helpmates" or "Blotto" or All Star Bond Rally."
The little girl at the end of that bottle turned 20 today. Watching 16mm film was quaint then; today it is positively eccentric.
Yet here in this nondescript suburb of Syracuse a large hotel ballroom is packed with people of all ages watching "Orchids and Ermine," a 1927 five-reel feature starring Colleen Moore. This delightful flapper–at the time ranked as the No. 1 box office attraction in the world–could pantomime with the best of them, her round face winning and expressive. The film also marked the screen debut of Mickey Rooney (above with Moore), playing, as the Cinefest program notes, "a cigar chomping midget."
Film historian Leonard Maltin–who has only missed one Cinefest in 30 years–left the screening happy in the knowledge that next time he runs into Mickey Rooney in Hollywood he can tell him, no, he doesn't steal the picture from Colleen Moore.
The film is silent with very smart subtitles. An added bonus were the many exterior scenes shot on location in New York. The Plaza Hotel–now partitioned up into condos–looks new. The musical accompaniment is live, played by Makia Matsumura, one of three excellent piano and organ accompanists at the festival.
Saturday the show moves down the I-90 to Rome, N.Y., to the late-'20s vintage Capitol Theater, where the big attraction is apparently the organ. Many of the films presented there will be one-of-a-kind prints, some from previously deemed "lost" films, all projected in their original 35mm theatrical format.
Earlier in the week at the hotel, TV buffs were treated to a reel of rarities from Gumby creator Art Clokey. Besides a few of the very first Gumby's, which were introduced on NBC in the late '50s on Howdy Doody (TV's first colour series), rare claymation title scenes by Clokey for the Dinah Shore Buick Show were also projected. The sharp. technicolor print was the very same reel of film used at the time the titles were broadcast over the air. They were pretty arty, almost Norman McLarenesque. That the show aired on NBC is evident by the clay peacock Clokey moulded and animated for each segment.
Cinefest also features several dealer rooms where nerds like myself have tables of stuff they've dragged across borders and state lines in hopes of selling and uncluttering our basements. The game is to try and drive back across the border with less than you came in with. This never happens.
It was a bit of a wake up call today to realize that the six dealers in my room–all surrounded by stacks of film cans–all had our noses buried in our laptops. The hotel might have Colleen Moore, but it also has WiFi. Work and deadlines wait for no one, not even in this crazy little time capsule called Cinefest.
Read more about the festival here at this detailed article in the Syracuse New Times. Cinefest concludes Sunday and will take place next year March 17-20.

and citing when the south dakota legislature wound up moving to repeal im23 and passed a weak replacement. citing that the voters were lead astray why as proof the thing needed to be passed plus also planning to send a message to the south dakota legislature that voters will not tolorate their little game of every time they pass something the legislature doesn't like they move to try and undo the voters will. the backers of im twenty three say they are going to try and put the thing back on the ballot for a vote again and to make sure the south dakota legislature can't try should it pass again and undo it are moving to put it on the ballot as a constitutional amendment which means the south dakota legislature would not be able to move to repeel it and black it from going back to the voters with their state of emergency move. and if the thing does get on the ballot and pass the south dakota legislature is going to be no doubt seeing red for im twenty three not dead for its back to the drawing board as a constitutional amendment this time.

In Week 17, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 34-13, to end the season on a five-game winning streak with an overall record of 6-10 record. While players were cleaning up their lockers, one sentiment was evident, the contributions and performance of the 2017 rookie class played a major factor in the team's late-season success.
"In my eleven years, I haven't seen a draft class like this," said
"I have a great deal of belief in that class," Lynch said in his end of the season press conference on Tuesday. "That's not just because we chose them but because I saw what they did on the field. When you have 15-16 rookies contributing in a big way that's encouraging."
The numbers support the claims of Staley and Lynch. The 49ers had 17 rookies play significant time this season from the first-round picks to the undrafted free agents.
Take a look at some of the top performers from the 49ers rookie class according to Pro Football Focus.
Foster missed some time due to an injury in the season opener, but that didn't stop the rookie linebacker from becoming one of the top linebackers in the NFL. The No. 31 overall pick finished the season as the fourth-ranked linebacker in the NFL with an overall grade of 90.7. Foster was 1-of-5 linebackers who finished the year with at least an 89.9 grade in run defense along with a coverage grade of at least 80.0. The other members in that group are Bobby Wagner, Luke Kuechly, LaVonte David and Sean Lee. "Roob" earned a positive grade on a league-leading 19.7 percent of his plays against the run, which is almost double the league average. Foster has a chance to build off of a strong rookie campaign and be the man in the middle of the 49ers defense for years to come. Foster was listed as sixth on the "Pro Football Focus Rookie Rankings" through Week 17.
The 49ers third-round draft pick worked his way into a starting role after beginning the season as a gameday inactive. Witherspoon appeared in 12 games as a rookie (nine starts), recording 32 tackles, two interceptions and one forced fumble. Witherspoon earned an overall grade of 81.1, which made him PFF's 43rd-best cornerback in 2017. He was also the sixth-ranked rookie corner according to PFF.
Taylor proved to be a reliable weapon for the 49ers offense throughout the season. The fifth-round pick hauled in 43 passes for 430 yards and two touchdowns on the year. Taylor's 43 receptions were third among rookie wide receivers, trailing only Cooper Kupp (62) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (58). Taylor finished the season with an overall grade of 71.6, which ranked 60th among NFL wide receivers. Amongst the rookie wideouts, Taylor ended the year ranked fourth behind Kupp, Schuster and Chris Godwin.
Colbert was a major factor in the 49ers secondary. As the team's final selection in the 2017 NFL draft, he emerged late in the season following injuries to
Breida joined the 49ers as an undrafted free agent, but earned the backup running back job with strong performances in training camp and preseason. Despite carrying the ball just 105 times (4.4 YPC), Breida ran for 465 yards and two touchdowns. Breida finished the season as PFF's 38th-ranked running back with an overall grade of 73.1.

Top Dem: 'Our airport defenses are inadequate' (The Hill)
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Tuesday the nation's airports remain vulnerable to violence following last week's terrorist attacks in Paris.
"If there was one vulnerability I would say we ought to focus on, it ought to be the airports," he said on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."
"I still believe that our airport defenses are inadequate," Schiff continued. "It still distresses me greatly that when we test the TSA, they largely fail those tests.
"In the immediate aftermath of Paris, there is a risk of copycat attacks in the United States," added Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
"[It is] not likely of the scope in Paris, but nonetheless, people who have been homegrown radicalized here in the United States acting out, lashing out in the wake of these attacks."
About 130 people died during a series of coordinated bombings and shootings in Paris the evening of Nov. 14. Reports have since emerged that one of the attackers may have infiltrated Europe using a Syrian passport.
Schiff argued Tuesday that the incident is no excuse for refusing Syrian refugees the safety of the U.S.
"The system does work," he said. "It has protected us. But look, I understand the fear out there.
"What happened in Paris is terrifying," Schiff continued. "Safety has to come first.
"While we want safety first and insist on safety first, we are also a very compassionate people," he added.
"We don't turn our backs on mothers and children who are in need and the victims of persecution around the world. It's part of the proudest tradition of this country."
The House is likely voting on legislation later this week that would temporarily halt President Obama's Syrian refugee resettlement plan.
Skeptics say that the vetting process for potential migrants is not thorough enough for preventing terrorism.
More than half of the nation's governors have also moved to temporarily block the entrance of displaced Syrians, according to a list compiled Tuesday by The Hill.
Obama argued Monday that ignoring the plight of those exiled by Syria's bloody civil war ignores America's essence as a nation.
"The people who are fleeing Syria are the most harmed by terrorism, they are the most vulnerable as a consequence of civil war and strife," he said during the G-20 Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

This year, February 28th marks not only the last day before Nutrition Month begins but also the so-called "Pancake Day" for the Commonwealth Nations. Pancake Day, otherwise known as Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras, is the day preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent). "Shrove" comes from the word "shrive", meaning "to absolve"; traditionally, this was when Christians made a special point of self-examination, considering what wrongs they may need to repent, and what amendments of life or areas of spiritual growth they wanted to work on. Where does the pancake come in all this? It was a way to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar in the home before the 40 days of Lent began. Furthermore, some believe the ingredients forming this delicious form of fluff symbolizes the four pillars of Christian faith: eggs for creation, flour as the mainstay of the human diet, salt for wholesomeness and milk for purity.
Beginning in the 1970's as Nutrition Week, dietitians campaign to raise awareness for the importance of healthy eating and to identify dietitians as the most credible sources of food and nutrition information. Since then, it has grown to become Nutrition Month. This year, Dietitians of Canada's campaign is dedicated to helping Canadians Take the Fight out of Food, guiding Canadians through a three-step approach to improve health: Spot the Problem, Get the Facts, Seek Support. In addition, there are five themes to this year's campaign. Food Fads, Digestive Woes, Picky Eating, Eating and Stress and Managing a Condition.
In honour of Pancake Day, I've whipped up a quick 10 minute wholesome pancake recipe. I had swapped regular flour for a higher fiber, low glycemic index breakfast food that many picky-eaters are not a fan of: oats! Oats are packed with fiber, provide satiety which can help with weight management, helps with regularity and gut health as well as lowering blood cholesterol and blood sugar management (click here for more information on fiber). Despite most of us knowing all the benefits, for those that do not like oatmeal, it just won't happen! There is no doubt it can be a challenge getting up in the morning, dealing with the everyday hustles of life, trying to whip up breakfast, get the kids dressed and rush to work, let alone getting the picky kids to eat healthy! So, in welcoming this year's Nutrition Month, I hope this minimalist recipe (I tried to aim for similar proportions of ingredients to minimize dish-washing or clean up requirements) will help take some of the stress out of eating and encourage those picky eaters to give oatmeal a chance!
6 Ingredient Oatmeal Protein Pancakes
Makes 6 servings. Preparation time 10 minutes. Cook time 10-15 minutes.
Equipment: Measuring Cups, Measuring Spoons, Blender, Flat-Surfaced Frying Pan, Spatula.
- 1 Cup Oats
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Flax Seed
- adds an extra punch of fiber (1 Tablespoon gives 2.2g dietary fiber) and omega-3 fats for heart health… plus, gives it a bit of a nutty flavour!
- 2 Whole Eggs
- 1 Cup Milk, 1% MF or Skim
- Tip #1: Choose milk alternatives such as soy milk or almond milk if lactose intolerant. Look to see that there they are fortified with Vitamin D and Calcium so that you do not miss out on the nutrient benefits of milk. Keep in mind that soy milk has a similar amount of protein, however almond milk will have a smidgen less.
- 1/4 Cup Greek Yogurt, Plain, 0% or 1% MF
- Did you know?… Yogurt has less lactose than milk dose, so some people are able to tolerate small amounts of yogurt better than they can tolerate a similar amount of milk!
- Did you know?… Yogurt has less lactose than milk dose, so some people are able to tolerate small amounts of yogurt better than they can tolerate a similar amount of milk!
- Place oats in blender and blend at high speed until flour-like meal.
- Add baking powder and ground flaxseed to oat flour, mix on low until well blended.
Tip #2: For a timesaver trick, make 4-5 times the dry mix, store in a sealed container and keep for later use!
- Mix milk, eggs and greek yogurt in a separate bowl until smooth. Add into dry mixture until mix in gently just until combined. Set aside for 1-2 minutes to let rest (in the meantime, get creative with your toppings!).
Tip #3: For a flavour spin, add some spices!
Cinnamon: 1 Tsp cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg.
Coco-Matcha: 1 Tbsp matcha powder with a Tbsp of coconut milk, or either on their own.
Choco-nut: 1 Tbsp coconut flakes and 1 Tbsp of cocoa powder, or either on their own.
*Please note this recipe will not be your ordinary runny buttermilk pancake batter, it will become more thick given the soluble fiber in oats. *
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/3 cup for each pancake.
- Cook for about 1 minute on each side or flip pancake over when rim of the pancake begins to solidify and bubble, then cook for about one minute. Serve warm and enjoy!
Nutrition Facts
Serving: Per Pancake
Calories: 100 kcal

Sodium: 195 mg

A source of:

Tip #4: To make it a balanced meal, enjoy 1-2 pancakes, choose milk as your beverage to get your calcium intake, and go for fruits and protein for your toppings. Protein helps slow down digestion further, providing more satiety, helps build muscle and aids in glycemic control for the reasons stated above. Some great topping ideas include: Greek yogurt instead of whipping cream, nuts such as almond slices, or nut butters.
Some Topping Ideas to get your inspiration started:
- Peaches 'n Cream: add 1/4 cup of greek yogurt and slice up a small peach, sprinkled with some walnuts. This adds 8g protein and 3g fiber.
- Banana Almond Butter: add a Tablespoon of almond butter and slice half a banana. This adds 5 g of protein and 1g fiber.
- Merry Berry: 1/2 a cup of mixed fresh or defrosted frozen berries gives 5g fiber! Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to make it a PB and J, this gives it an additional 5g protein and bumps fiber up to 6g.
Tip #5: Get the kids involved! It's never too early for having fun in the kitchen, learning about the life skill of cooking and healthy eating. Having fun, being included and engaged in meal preparation are few of many ways to encourage children to be more explorative in their food choices. Have them choose some of the toppings: offer them a variety of choices (ie. giving them a couple of protein choices such as walnuts and pecans, but keep it fun!).

Around here, we think Freddy is pretty fantastic. He has a personality that lights up a room and is almost always willing to lend a helping hand (he is 4 after all!).
When you first look at Freddy you might see a child who faces many difficulties. His paperwork might even look a little scary. But once you get to know Freddy those things, though still very important, quickly fade away.
We asked some people who know Freddy to help us show you some more of who he is.
Freddy is:
Freddy is a quintessential older brother. He keeps track of little 'siblings' and know what they like. He will give them toys to play with and always makes sure that they are happy.
Freddy has a way of getting into everyone's heart! Time after time I would watch visitors fall in love with Freddy's fantastic personality in a matter of minutes. He loves making people laugh. One things that makes Freddy so special is the way he loves the other children around him. He is always going out of his way to offer comforting hugs and giving toys to his younger 'siblings.' I look forward to the days that Freddy has a family of his own to share his big heart with!
We're all pretty smitten by Freddy, and he brings so much joy to our days, but like one of our past volunteers said, we can't wait until the day the he has a family of his very own!

Anthony Ogbo, (NIGERIA MOMENT).
■ Soldiers slaughtered in Boko Haram attack
■ Rebellion feared among junior officers
■ Uncertainty wrecks trust and loyalty
■ Buhari fears revolt, orders a zero tolerance
Currently, the operational structures and battle-readiness capability in the Nigerian Army may have collapsed, leaving the troops with little or no confidence to defend the country. A failed strategy to defeat the Boko Haram insurgency has dealt a big blow to the sector with last week's attack that left scores of soldiers dead in the most shamefully, overpowering manner.
Most middle-ranking offices, it was gathered, are aligned with various administrative cliques, courting politicians and trading sensitive defense information related to the regime. President Buhari, fearing a possible rebellion had put his entire service chiefs on high alert. October 10, for instance, Lieutenant General Buratai, the chief of army staff, visited the 9 Brigade Nigerian army cantonment at Ikeja, strictly warning soldiers to desist from mingling with Nigerian politicians.
Disappointed with a losing battle to Boko haram after months of mixed but unproductive strategy policies, President Buhari had set a December deadline, charging the service chiefs to map out fresh tactics to defeat Boko Haram. This was just three months ago. However, last week's attack raises doubts about meeting the December deadline, and confirms a long speculated disorganization and a state of unpreparedness among the troops. "We have giving them enough medals, and we have armed them well enough; we need results," a senior member of the Buhari's regime was quoted as saying.

No nuance needed: Big expansion plans for communications company in downtown SeattlePuget Sound Business Journal
Nuance Communications, a global company with 12,000 employees, is more than doubling the amount of space it occupies in downtown Seattle's historic Exchange Building.
Commercial real estate broker Rod Keefe of Kidder Mathews on Monday said that Nuance has signed a long-term lease for three more floors in the 22-story building at 821 Second Ave. This will give the company around 82,000 square feet in the building, where Nuance already occupies two floors, or about 30,000 square feet.
Given the history of the art-deco Exchange Building, it's a fitting place for the expansion of Nuance, which makes voice recognition and other operator-replacing products that people use when calling automated systems for information. That's because back in the day when phone calls were routed through operators, Pacific Northwest Bell had offices in the Exchange Building.
Nuance Communications spokeswoman Molly Kelley confirmed the expansion Monday. Due to time constraints of executives, the company was unavailable to comment further on its expansion plans in Seattle, where Keefe said the company also occupies 46,000 square feet in the 505 First Building in Pioneer Square.
The 85-year-old Exchange Building has a rich history. Noted architect John Graham, who designed the Nordstrom flagship store and the Seattle Macy's, designed the building that was constructed to house the Seattle Stock Exchange, which had just moved into the building when the New York stock market crashed in 1929. The phone company moved in later.
Boston-based Beacon Capital Partners bought the Exchange Building in 2013 and embarked on what the company said was "an expansive capital improvement project," that includes what a Beacon representative said is a voluntary seismic retrofit. That work is ongoing.

Today, in celebration of the increase in eggs I made a hollandaise sauce for an eggs benedict. All recipes is an excellent resource and I tried this recipe today. It was a bit lemony and I added an extra egg yolk but in all it was quite tasty and much easier than other traditional recipes I've used in the past.

CSIR-NGRI plays a vital role in creating trained human resources with emphasis on geology and geophysics. It is the framework for helping post-graduate students of various Indian Universities/Institutes to develop their professional skills, knowledge, and abilities. Over 100 post-graduate students are being trained every year as Summer/Winter Interns.
Post-graduate students in their second last semester, studying Geology, Geophysics, Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences, are eligible to apply. Online applications on the NGRI website open each year in January for the Summer Internships and in October for the Winter Internships. Selection is very competitive and is based on a combination of requirements and positions available with scientists of the Institute. A certificate is awarded to each student on the successful completion of their Internship and submission of their Report.
In summer the first slot spreads over May-June, while the next over July-August. In winter there is only one slot, during December-January. A successful candidate may stay for a minimum period of 6 weeks and maximum of 8 weeks within each phase. Overlaps/extensions are not permitted. The Student Academic Committee (a sub Committee within HRDG) is responsible for selection and allocation processes.
Shared accommodation at very basic rates may be provided, if available. Please go through Statutes of On Campus Accommodation for information on regulations.

Since my Baby Valentine woke me up at 2 a.m. and then again at 6 a.m. (Felix hasn't done that in awhile so I was extra sleepy) it was nice to sleep in on our first Valentine's Day as a family of three.
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have my husband and Felix as my forever Valentines.
(also, Happy Birthday to my Ezgi! + how cute is this valentine post ? I'm going to have to print out Reeve's photo with Felix's name for her baby book)
